Chapter 516: Chapter 563 Death God Valley
Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Three
Lan Wan’er was originally exceptionally beautiful and delicate, and now, like a peony in full bloom, her beauty was elevated to yet another level.
A group of people scrutinized Lan Wan’er attentively, their mouths watering uncontrollably.
Gedanwei, too, was staring intently at Lan Wan’er as she stood now.
So beautiful, this woman was simply too beautiful.
However, soon his eyes narrowed, noticing that Lan Wan’er’s gait seemed slightly pigeon-toed, as if not quite natural. This realization made Gedanwei’s heart bleed.
...
This woman was definitely the most delicate and lovely flower, but sadly, she did not belong to him.
It was all the damned Lang Sha’s fault, that ugly, barbaric man!
He glared at Lang Sha as he walked past him.
Lang Sha suddenly turned his head, giving him a grin. That smile, with its hint of mockery, made Gedanwei feel as though the gaze was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
A group of people disembarked from the plane.
Long Xiaoshan observed the island; the airport was situated amidst a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees. A number of planes were already parked at the airport.
The Snake Spirit Zunzhe said, “Death God Valley is located at the foot of that volcano in the center of the island. You can only go through there when Death God Valley is open. It’s not possible to drive here because a road can’t be built. If you try to traverse this forest at any other time, you will definitely get lost. Even planes shouldn’t attempt to fly over it; there have been more than one plane crashes here.”
“It’s that bizarre?”
Long Xiaoshan gazed in the distance at a conical volcano. The forests of Pao Island were exceptionally dense, with towering trees over several dozen meters high everywhere. It appeared to have retained its most pristine state.
The Snake Spirit Zunzhe declared, “I’ll summon the Divine Serpent now.”
He took out a black flute and began to play. The flute emitted a series of strange sounds, and after a few minutes, a roaring of a giant beast emanated from a distance. A massive serpentine shape rapidly curving closer and closer until it was visible.
The Divine Serpent soon arrived in front of everyone, raising its head high and looking down at the ground below.
Even though Long Xiaoshan had seen the Divine Serpent several times before, it was still his first time seeing its entire form from such a close distance; the impact was extraordinary.
The Snake Spirit Zunzhe leaped onto the head of the Divine Serpent and stated, “Let’s set off.”
The group quickly entered the forest.
It was difficult to navigate through the primal jungle. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dead branches and fallen leaves accumulated over many years. As soon as you stepped on them, you’d sink deep up to your knees.
Even though Long Xiaoshan and his group were no ordinary people, each of them an elite expert from the Serpent Witch Sect, the journey was still exhausting.
After all, sorcerers were different from martial artists. Although their physical conditions were definitely stronger than those of ordinary people, the extent was limited. They relied more on the spells they mastered.
The party walked for half a day, killing numerous fierce beasts and poisonous snakes along the way.
Finally, they approached the volcano at the center of the island.
At the base of the volcano, there was a massive crack that was quite peculiar. From afar, it resembled an eye, and in the center of the crack was a murky vortex that flickered in and out of visibility.
“We’ve arrived; this is Death God Valley!” the Snake Spirit Zunzhe announced.
No sooner had he spoken than a cacophony of sounds arose from all around.
Many distinctive and formidable figures emerged from the dense forest.
“Snake Spirit Zunzhe, you’ve finally arrived,” uttered a voice from a person shrouded in a blood robe, the voice indiscernible as male or female. Behind this person followed a group of Blood-Robed People, each with an eerie and bloody aura, and the smell of fresh blood pervaded the air.
The Snake Spirit Zunzhe hummed, “Blood Spirit King, you sure arrived quickly.”
“That’s because you were too slow,” retorted another.
A roar of a tiger resounded.
A man riding a White Tiger stepped forward. This White Tiger was over five meters long, with saber-like fangs protruding from its mouth, similar to those of an ancient Sabertooth Tiger. The man on the White Tiger wore a white monk’s robe, his head adorned with a dragon-shaped golden circlet. His eyes were profoundly mystical and distant, and he exuded an extremely tranquil aura all over.
“White Dragon King!”
The Snake Spirit Zunzhe’s face showed a hint of wariness.
He even nodded slightly to the White Dragon King, a gesture even more cautious than the one he afforded the Blood Spirit King.
Behind the White Dragon King followed a group of monks in white robes with leggings. Besides them, there were two men and one woman dressed differently.
Long Xiaoshan and Lan Wan’er exchanged glances.
The two men and the woman were none other than Hua Die and others from the Bai Witch Sect.
It turned out they were walking with the White Dragon King.
Hua Die’s gaze fell on Lan Wan’er and revealed a hint of surprise, as if she found Lan Wan’er familiar.
At that moment, even more powerful figures stepped forward.
There was Grand Master Galon from the Indonesia Sea God Temple, surrounded by an aura of water, the martial arts experts from the Xingzhou Li Family, and masters from Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and other Southern Ocean nations, arriving one after another.
In front of Death God Valley, it became incredibly lively.
Many strong powers from the Southern Ocean gathered together, each occupying their territory, and wary of each other. Many of these major powers had dirty feuds and had fought more than once or twice.
But now, with the opening of Death God Valley at hand,
even the gravest of enmities had to be set aside for the moment, as each faction was accumulating its strength, waiting to enter Death God Valley.
Long Xiaoshan watched the entrance to Death God Valley.
The swirling vortex, resembling the pupil of an eye, had become clearer and clearer from its initial faint state, and after waiting for a full day, the vortex finally stabilized and was no longer flickering in and out of existence.
At this point, everyone stood up.
“Death God Valley has opened, let’s go!” said the Snake Spirit Zunzhe.
Whoosh, Nanyue’s Blood Spirit Sect was the first to rush into the rift, passing through the middle of the vortex and quickly vanishing.
All the major powers quickly sprang into action.
One by one, they flew swiftly through the rift.
The members of the Serpent Witch Sect also passed through the rift. After entering the vortex, they suddenly found themselves in a very long canyon, which stretched out endlessly, filled with a rich spiritual energy.
Long Xiaoshan took a deep breath.
The spiritual energy here was much denser than outside, and although the rift was located at the base of a volcano, stepping through it led to a canyon instead of the volcano’s interior.
The vegetation inside Death God Valley was lush and verdant.
Countless towering ancient trees sprawled across the landscape, showing not a hint of the breath of death.
The many powers from the Southern Ocean that had come in each went their separate ways, moving forward.
The group walked deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, Long Xiaoshan’s gaze swept across the area and his eyes lit up. Moon Locust flowers.
He quickly walked over and plucked a white blossom from the roadside.
This flower was extremely rare, almost extinct in the outside world, yet he found it here. Not long after, Long Xiaoshan discovered a Black Banana Vine. The vegetation in Death God Valley was incredibly abundant.
Having walked only a few hundred meters, Long Xiaoshan had already found seven or eight kinds of rare medicinal herbs from the outside world.
This place was truly a Pharmacist’s paradise.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan continuously harvesting herbs, many of which they couldn’t even identify, Snake Spirit Zunzhe squinted his eyes and said, “Brother Lang Sha is also knowledgeable about herbs?”
“Haha, just a little,” Long Xiaoshan chuckled.
Snake Spirit Zunzhe didn’t believe him, but he knew Long Xiaoshan was unlikely to tell him everything. Besides, the medical herbs of Death God Valley were everywhere and definitely not a rare commodity; he didn’t care how much Long Xiaoshan gathered.
