Chapter 1372

"Then let's go left."

The four naturally split into groups.

Ning Chen took Gu Yanqi to the right; the two walked for about an hour, seeing nothing but endless trees.

"Chen, I want to rest. I think I might not be able to go on." Gu Yanqi panted heavily. For some reason, by now, she felt exhausted and irritable, as if many little people were making noise in her ears.

Gu Yanqi's condition was too obvious; Ning Chen noticed her unease at a glance.

Ning Chen's hands gathered white-gold light, which he then poured into Gu Yanqi's body.

The Light-type healing ability can block all negative effects. Although its healing power isn't as strong as Xiao Han's Grass-type healing ability, it can handle most of them.

Gu Yanqi felt a clear stream flow through her body; the previous exhaustion and irritability vanished instantly.

"Eh?" Gu Yanqi felt completely light, with not a trace of fatigue.

She turned her head to share the news with Ning Chen. Seeing the white-gold light flash in Ning Chen's hand, she suddenly understood something.

Gu Yanqi said nothing. She quickly came to Ning Chen's side, took his arm, and smiled sweetly: "I'm not tired. Let's go. Finding Lin Yi and Miss Hongxiu is more important."

Seeing that Gu Yanqi was truly not forcing herself, Ning Chen agreed to continue forward.

The unchanging path and the unchanging air were all points that could make one's brain collapse.

Ning Chen looked at the two or three people squatting on the ground, crying in despair, and felt a headache. To be honest, the moment he saw these people, he wanted to take Gu Yanqi and leave.

Gu Yanqi tugged Ning Chen's clothes and looked at the people nearby: "Chen, aren't those the ones who came for the trial earliest and left to check things out?"

Ning Chen nodded. He recognized these people too, but why were they here?

The two walked toward them bit by bit; they had to at least see their condition.

Hearing the noise, the three people raised their heads. The moment they saw Ning Chen and Gu Yanqi, light clearly burst in their eyes.

"Aaaaaah, there are people!" The three ran toward the two, crying and shouting.

Ning Chen immediately pulled Gu Yanqi behind him, then assumed an attack stance.

The three people "plop" fell to their knees, then hugged Ning Chen's two legs, refusing to let go. With snot and tears, they recounted their hardships.

"Brother, we are so miserable. After entering, we couldn't find a way out."

"Wuwuwuwuwu, I thought we were going to die here. I didn't expect anyone to come in."

"Big brother, take us out! This really isn't a place for humans to stay!"

It was clear the three had collapsed. Suddenly seeing another living person, they probably felt closer to him than their own fathers.

Ning Chen shifted his leg. The moment he moved, the three became more nervous than anyone, their hands gripping Ning Chen's legs even tighter.

"Let go of me first, or how can I move? Also, keep it down. It's too noisy."

If mood could be seen, there would be many fire symbols above Ning Chen's head now. He planned to shake them off if they didn't get up soon.

Sensing that Ning Chen seemed angry, the survival instinct made the three let go of Ning Chen simultaneously and stand up from the ground.

The three stood in a neat row, looking at Ning Chen, looking just like kindergarten children.

Now, if Ning Chen told them to go east, they absolutely wouldn't dare go west.

"Have you seen anyone else here?"

The three shook their heads in unison. If they had seen anyone else, the three of them wouldn't be like this.

"Were it just the three of you here from the start?"

The three nodded simultaneously again.

For a situation where they only nodded and shook their heads without speaking, Gu Yanqi found it ridiculous. After all, being able to speak but not speaking, insisting on using actions instead, was very strange.

"Why do those three have mouths but don't use them? Isn't that very strange?"

Gu Yanqi's voice was not small; the three heard her words clearly. The three were choked up.

"Um, because, just now, didn't this young brother tell us not to speak?" One of them raised his hand and spoke weakly.

Ning Chen twitched the corner of his mouth. He guessed why these three couldn't get out and were crying on the spot; the three were originally three oddballs.

"Your... intelligence. Why come to cultivate immortality?" Gu Yanqi thought for a while, still couldn't find suitable words, and could only honestly ask.

"I, we just wanted to try. We didn't really want to cultivate immortality. My wife and children are waiting for me at home. I don't want to die!"

One of them was full of regret. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come out.

"Me too. I just lost a bet and came to participate. I didn't expect this to happen!"

These people's reasons were each more bizarre than the last. Gu Yanqi looked at the other man and asked curiously: "Then what about you?"

That man opened his mouth, his face flushed red. It seemed this reason was not easy to say.
