321: Fairy Dew

The young monk Hui Che had a displeased look on his face; these three absolutely refused to take him with them.

Especially Chen Heng, who said if he dared to follow, he would show him what his large intestine looked like inside.

"Then we'll wait for them here," Elder Yang nodded, showing no signs of worry.

But then again, with Chen Heng along, even if they encountered danger, it wouldn't be much.

"Hahaha! They really went?" Qing Changsheng, now a cripple with all his Meridians destroyed, burst into laughter.

"These fools, they actually believed my words."

"They really think that place is some kind of paradise; I almost died in there back then."

But as soon as he said this, Qing Changsheng felt something was off.

He almost died in there 'back then', but this time, the one who went in was Chen Heng, who almost beat 'the current him' to death.

It seemed, perhaps, there really was no problem.

Seeing Qing Changsheng suddenly deflate, the others no longer paid him any mind.

Finding a random empty spot, Elder Yang took out a small, exquisite model of a house.

"Oh, a treasure from the Divine Mechanism Tower," Hua Luandao immediately recognized the treasure in Elder Yang's hand.

"Yes, I casually picked it up from a few Divine Mechanism Tower cultivators Undergoing Tribulation," Elder Yang nodded, his expression not even changing as he said this.

"Then can you use it?"

"It shouldn't be difficult, I'll try..."

---

There weren't many things in the storage room, most of them were miscellaneous junk with no value.

However, two things were still usable, and Chen Heng was quite familiar with them.

One was something that looked like a primitive firearm, but it wasn't powered by gunpowder.

Instead, it was powered by spiritual energy or demonic energy, and its power was considerable.

Anyway, Luo Shuo shot him with it once and blew a hole straight through his leg.

The other was a bottle of liquid; Chen Heng thought it smelled like wine, while Bai Jun believed this item was immortal dew.

He said that ancient texts within their sect had recorded such a thing, describing it as a peerless treasure.

"Big Brother Chen, just these two items alone make our trip worthwhile!" Bai Jun lightly sniffed the fragrant liquid in the bottle, his face full of intoxication.

"What, you want to go back?" Chen Heng looked at the firearm in his hand, suddenly feeling that his Fellow Countryman had quite an imagination.

"A little, but since we're already here, I want to check out the other forks in the road too."

Bai Jun hesitated, handing the immortal dew in his hand to Chen Heng.

"This stuff is useless to me; you guys can keep it for fun," Chen Heng waved his hand. His real targets were the other two forks.

No, not just those two forks, but also the fork named Testing Ground.

He wondered what would be waiting for him in this so-called Testing Ground.

"Let's go, back," Chen Heng waved, leading the two back to the fork in the road.

Chen Heng's next target was the passage that read [If you can understand, take this path].

"Big Brother Chen, what do these characters mean?" Bai Jun glanced at the Chinese characters, then at the confident Chen Heng, and asked.

"Big Brother Chen, do you recognize this script?"

"Yes, don't ask too many questions, just follow me," Chen Heng didn't intend to explain too much.

Even to Bai Jun, Chen Heng didn't plan to reveal his true origins.

Only an idiot would easily expose their true background, no matter how close the relationship, some things simply cannot be said.

"Okay," Hearing that Chen Heng was unwilling to elaborate, Bai Jun no longer pressed the issue.

Who doesn't have their little secrets? It's perfectly normal.

Next, the group passed through seventeen more forks, each with at least five or more paths.

"They're really cautious," Chen Heng couldn't help but sigh.

According to Bai Jun and Luo Shuo, the material used to construct the walls could completely block the detection of spiritual and demonic energy.

Even attacks landing on it would be completely absorbed, except for brute force... The deeper they went, the more disturbed Bai Jun and Luo Shuo's expressions became; they walked even faster than him, as if something inside was attracting them.

"Wake up!" Chen Heng slapped Luo Shuo, who was rushing forward blindly, and kicked Bai Jun's backside, whose eyes had already become dull.

"Huh?" Both were startled simultaneously, and only then did they clear their heads a little.

"What's wrong with you two?" Chen Heng suddenly remembered what Qing Changsheng had told him.

'There's something in there attracting him'

"I don't know, but there's always a voice in my head telling me to hurry, and my body feels somewhat out of control."

Luo Shuo rubbed his face; he could still hear that incessant voice.

"If you two can't handle it, go back. I'll explore alone from now on."

Chen Heng frowned deeply; he couldn't put his little brothers in danger just out of curiosity.

"It's fine, I'm clear-headed now," Bai Jun shook his head, pulled out a Clear Heart Talisman, and stuck it on his chest.

"You take one too. Although the effect isn't great, it can at least offer some resistance."

"Alright," Luo Shuo also stuck a Clear Heart Talisman on himself.

Sure enough, the voice that had been urging him on weakened significantly; at least it wasn't like before.

Chen Heng nodded and didn't say much; if the two wanted to go, they could go together.

He could still protect these two youngsters.

However... why couldn't he hear or feel that attraction at all?

"Forget it, I'll know if I keep going forward."

Chen Heng wasn't the type to dwell on things; no matter what was going on, he'd know if he just went to see... In the dark passage, only the heart-questioning sword in Bai Jun's hand could slightly disperse the surrounding darkness, but in the distance, it was still pitch black.

As they delved deeper, the attractive force grew stronger and stronger; one Clear Heart Talisman was no longer enough to suppress that feeling.

"If you two can't handle it, just wait for me here."

Chen Heng felt that Bai Jun and Luo Shuo's condition was getting worse and worse.

Especially Bai Jun; his body was already covered in Clear Heart Talismans.
