Chapter 192
After Han Li experienced half a day's journey, he finally arrived at the outskirts of the central area. WwW. feiazw. CoM Net
What made Han Li feel greatly surprised was that the journey was peaceful and safe, and he didn't encounter any other people's sniping!
Naturally, he didn't know that in this direction, those who arrived earlier than him had already been killed cleanly by those so-called "elites," and those behind him had been overtaken by Feng Yue and the Treasure-Seeking Woman, who had also cleared them out once.
In this way, even if there were a few who slipped through the net, they knew that there was no hope of seizing the treasure, so they all found a hidden place, concealed their tracks, and acted like shrinking turtles. This was also the unique secret for the weak to preserve their lives in the Blood Trial!
Han Li needed to obtain the three main herbs to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, so naturally, he wouldn't learn from them. Therefore, at this moment, he stood in front of a stone wall several zhang high, carefully examining the wall in front of him with a strange expression.
Not far from one side of this stone wall was an antique bronze gate, on which were engraved many ancient characters similar to patterns that Han Li couldn't understand at all.
This bronze gate was now wide open, indicating that someone had already entered.
According to the information in Han Li's mind, there should be four such bronze gates, corresponding to the four directions, and they were the only entrances to the central area. Apart from this, the rest of the area was enclosed by stone walls that didn't look high.
If anyone didn't want to enter through the bronze gate and wanted to take a shortcut by jumping over the stone wall into the central area, that person would definitely be in big trouble and would be cut into pieces by the wind-type restriction attached to the wall.
Han Li naturally knew this and would naturally not have the stupid idea of passing over the wall. The reason he was staring at the wall with such a strange action was entirely because this wall was indeed a bit different; it actually had some "things" that ordinary walls didn't have.
On this wall, three people in different clothing were pierced through their limbs by thick ice spikes, nailed into a large "X" shape, and hung side by side there. Looking at them, they had no breath and had been dead for a long time.
The blood flowing from the wounds on their limbs had congealed into a purplish-black solid, and it was everywhere from the wall to the nearby ground. According to Han Li's speculation, when these people were nailed to the wall, most of them hadn't yet breathed their last, but later, due to excessive blood loss, they truly died miserably on the wall.
Near the three corpses, no clues or marks were left. But with a little thought, anyone could understand. This was someone killing a chicken to warn the monkeys, establishing authority to those who came later, and intimidating others not to enter this gate again!
Han Li looked at the painful expressions of the three before they died very seriously for a while, then licked his slightly chapped lips and walked toward the bronze gate without any expression, as if the miserable end of these three people hadn't had any impact on him.
But in reality, Han Li knew his own affairs; seeing the scene just now really made him feel a bit hairy inside! From the way the three died, one could see that the person who left this method was most likely a person with a somewhat twisted psychology. If one really fell into the hands of this person, it would be happier to "commit suicide" immediately.
However, Han Li had already arrived here, so naturally, he couldn't run away in a panic because of this little intimidation. Now, even if there were a mountain of blades and a sea of fire ahead, he would have to bite the bullet and break through this time!
Just like that, Han Li stepped into this gate with a belly full of anxiety and unease. But on the surface, he became more and more composed, as leisurely as if he were strolling in his own backyard.
As soon as he entered, a scene of a fairyland with birds singing and flowers fragrant appeared before his eyes. All kinds of strange flowers and herbs and many strange trees whose names he couldn't say were everywhere. Silver chrysanthemums as big as bowls, strange trees as bright red as blood, purple grasses emitting strange fragrances, yellow bamboos as thick as a person's waist, etc. —these were all rare items that were hard to see in the outside world. And among these rare plants, there was actually a winding and tortuous gravel path that led from where Han Li stood to the distance covered by branches and leaves, and looking at it, it seemed to have no end.
Seeing this scene, Han Li was slightly stunned, but immediately took a deep breath subconsciously. Such thick spiritual energy! This spiritual energy mixed with the rich scent of plants and trees went straight into his lungs, making Han Li feel refreshed.
With such a blessed land, no wonder it could cultivate heavenly spiritual herbs! Han Li felt great emotion.
"Kid, have you seen enough?"
"Who?"
A voice like a broken gong came abruptly, making Han Li's heart tighten, and he couldn't help but shout and ask.
"Hehe! Since you've seen it once, then die in peace now!" This person didn't pay any attention to Han Li's questioning at all, but instead said to himself in a strange voice.
At the same time, two green shadows darted out strangely from the flowers on one side, attacking Han Li's back silently.
Although he was facing away from the green shadows, it still didn't escape Han Li's spiritual sense, which had long been on guard. Han Li's face sank, his upper body remained motionless, but his body automatically moved sideways by several feet, letting the two green shadows pass by one after another from the side.
In his haste, Han Li glanced at the green shadows; they were long, thin things as straight as chopsticks, entirely green with some faint black patterns, looking truly strange.
However, in the rush, Han Li couldn't care about thinking carefully. Even though he had easily resolved the opponent's attack, he still had a solemn expression and didn't dare to be the least bit careless. He could still clearly remember the miserable appearance of the three people outside the gate, and he didn't want to end up with the same fate.
Thus, Han Li, with a gloomy face, had his eyes flickering, frequently looking around, intending to find the enemy hidden on one side. But at this moment, suddenly, from that person's mouth, a strange whistling sound was emitted, making one feel extremely uncomfortable upon hearing it.
Han Li was slightly stunned upon hearing it, just wanting to think deeply about the opponent's intention, but suddenly his face changed greatly, and his whole body shot backward incredibly. This time, Han Li flew a full distance of several zhang before stopping his figure.
What made Han Li take such action was actually the two green shadows that hadn't flown far from Han Li's side! Because in front of Han Li, not far away, their bodies suddenly twisted and moved, and at the same time, they unfolded a pair of pale green, semi-transparent wings.
They were actually two flying snakes with wings, but just now when they attacked Han Li, their bodies had been kept tight, making Han Li mistakenly think they were dead objects. Now, with a light flap, their bodies suddenly made a 180-degree turn, their speed as fast as lightning, actually not inferior to Han Li, who had performed the Luo Smoke Steps. How could Han Li not treat this with caution!
Now, these two flying snakes, with their two snake heads raised, their four small green eyes emitting a cold and chilly intent, were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, making a posture to attack Han Li again.
"Kid, you run quite fast! But no matter how fast you are, can you be faster than these two Savage Mountain flying snakes? It's better to honestly let my beloved snakes take a bite, and then there won't be any pain!" The broken voice was a bit surprised that Han Li's figure was so fast! But obviously, he had even more confidence in his own flying snakes, which was why he said the above words with cold mockery.
"Fart!"
These two words were cursed in Han Li's heart, but he didn't say them out loud! It wasn't that he was afraid of the opponent and didn't dare to speak, but that the two strange snakes had already turned into two green rays of light and rushed up with several afterimages.
On the way, they suddenly split into two, and coincidentally drew two arcs, changing to surround him from the left and right sides.
Seeing this, Han Li naturally couldn't care about playing with words anymore. Apart from cursing a few times in his heart, his body shot backward at a speed not much slower than the green shadows. In the blink of an eye, he flew around several times in this small area with the green shadows, not daring to stop for a moment under his feet.
At this moment, he was purely relying on the spirit boots on his feet to run, while the Luo Smoke Steps and the Wind-Riding Technique were not performed.
This wasn't because Han Li was arrogant and deliberately underestimated the opponent, but because he had experienced two fierce battles in a row, plus the extreme training when he first got these boots, so his physical strength hadn't recovered yet. Therefore, unless it was a life-and-death moment, Han Li was unwilling to perform the Luo Smoke Steps, which consumed too much physical strength. The same was true for the Wind-Riding Technique; after having the blessing of the spirit boots, if he added the acceleration of the Wind-Riding Technique, it would put too much burden on Han Li's body, which was extremely unfavorable for the recovery of physical strength.
Of course, Han Li wouldn't let the two flying snakes keep pestering him.
Although he didn't dare to add a protective shield at will and slow down his figure to test whether the shield or the strange snakes were more powerful, he had plenty of means to kill the two small snakes! It was just that he had put most of his thoughts on the owner of the flying snakes, who was hidden on one side and never came out, which was why he had let these two long worms follow him until now. Now, seeing that this person seemed to have made up his mind to rely entirely on these two flying snakes to kill him, Han Li naturally wouldn't be polite anymore.
Han Li made up his mind, flipped his hand, and a Fire Snake Spell talisman appeared in his hand. He pinched the talisman with two fingers and wanted to activate and throw it out to have a fire-roasted wild game!
"Stepping Cloud Boots?"
"Stop, I have something to say!"
The broken voice suddenly recognized the spirit boots on Han Li's feet, his voice filled with unbelievable surprise, and he immediately shouted, demanding a ceasefire. And he didn't know what method he used to stop the two green shadows! The two snakes' bodies paused, then flew back along the original path, burrowing into the plants and disappearing without a trace.
And Han Li frowned upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't throw the talisman in his hand out, but his other hand was still cautiously pressed on the storage bag.
