The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 48: The Great World

A day later, when the first spirit stone was completely depleted, Feng Yan put away the windskiff, and the three of them stood on a mountain peak under the night sky, watching the sun slowly set on the horizon. Soon, darkness enveloped the land.

At the foot of the mountain, a dense forest resounded with the roars of beasts and beasts. The air is very humid.

"After we pass through this forest, we can rest," Feng Yan said coldly. "What are you guys thinking?" He looked at Du Lingfei and Bai Xiaochun.

"Dark," Bai Xiaochun pointed out. “That forest may have some dangerous beasts in it; why don't we just fly with the windskiff? "

"Rest yourself, if you will," Du Lingfei said with a cold snort. "It's just some trees." Not hiding his disgust from Bai Xiaochun's fear of death, he moved quickly, heading straight for the forest.

A glimmer of ridicule appeared deep in Feng Yan's eyes, but he kept smiling and then shot down the mountain.

Bai Xiaochun frowned as he watched the two of them leave. Finally he sighed, and followed them down the mountain towards the forest, more alert than ever.

Moisture increases when they enter the forest, and there are even some places that are swamps or swamps. Animals appeared occasionally, but these were the three Qi Condensation cultivators. They did not slow down at all as they continued, gradually forging their way deeper and deeper into the forest.

Time pass. Finally, the night deepened. By the time the moon rose, they were already about halfway to the other side. So far they have not found any cruel beasts. The journey went very well. Bai Xiaochun was in a back position, and even the slightest sound or movement would make him jump in fear. Du Lingfei's scorn grew stronger.

"Revelation!" Bai Xiaochun suddenly said, stopping in place with a very agitated expression on his face.

Du Lingfei laughed coldly, and was just about to say something sarcastic when suddenly, a wild wind blew towards them, along with a sharp scent. Du Lingfei's face flickered, and he looked out into the forest to see countless eyes staring back.

They were bright red in color, and in almost the same time as he looked at it, the sound of flapping wings could be heard. Many bats appeared, each the size of a hand, flying towards them.

"Two-headed bats!" exclaimed Feng Yan. “They toxins drain the blood and clog the throat! Split up and meet at the top of the mountain on the other side of the forest. " Faces flickering, Feng Yan burst into motion, heading at high speed.

Disciple Du Lingfei shriveled, and he waved his hand in front of him, throwing a paper talisman. As it burned, a blue light spread out, covering itself with a shield and also increasing its speed. He chose another direction and left. Looking over his shoulder as he left, he was surprised to find that Bai Xiaochun had long since disappeared.

Bai Xiaochun began to flee as soon as the wind blew. Of course, Bai Xiaochun was very careful and perceptive, and very sensitive to danger.

Even as he fled, the bat approached, causing a buzzing sound to fill the air. They quickly parted into three groups, which began to chase the three disciples.

A cold smile appeared on Feng Yan's face as he sped through the forest, and he quickly put away the incense he had just held. It was the stick of incense that had attracted the attention of the bat, and also why it chose to pass through this forest on its way to their mission. He felt that this was likely a location that contained a two-headed bat.

"The weakest of them were at the third level of Qi Condensation. Bai Xiaochun, don't blame me that someone wants you dead. " Laughing coldly, he slapped his bag to produce a wooden stick. After exhaling air into the stick, it ignited with a black flame that caused the bat to let out a piercing cry. Apparently, they hated the fire, and thus soon dispersed.

Feng Yan smiled and then continued, feeling much more comfortable.

As for Bai Xiaochun, he speeded through the forest chased by many bats. However, the bat could not match its speed, and before long, there was sufficient distance between the two of them. Occasionally, a beam of sword light would light up, and the bat would shout and fall from the air.

Bai Xiaochun ran over, and after enough time had passed to burn the incense, he looked over his shoulder and frowned.

"It's strange for all the bats to suddenly show up" he thought. He walked back a little and found one of the bats he killed with a flying sword, and after examining it closely, his eyes shone.

“This is not the usual two-headed bat, they are the bat violetvein! They were just as venomous, but they were different from ordinary two-headed bats because their fangs were the main ingredient for the Bloodburning Incense-level spirit medicine!

"Back in the sect, you can sell fangs like this for fifty points each." Bai Xiaochun was immediately pleased. Not many people are aware that these bats are actually listed in the fifth volume of spirit beings.

Feeling very excited, he started collecting the corpses of bats. It didn't take long before he had ten bats, from which he started extracting his fangs.

"The bat is not that strong .." he said, chuckling. Immediately, a shield appeared around him, and he started searching through the forest. Shortly after, an entire group of violetvein bats flew towards him.

He quickly performed a spell motion with his right hand, sending the sword flying towards the bat. His speed was incredible, and even before they could get close to him, pitiful screams filled the air, and many bats began to fall to the ground. The few who had made it through the sword struck his shield and were sent spinning.

Bai Xiaochun collected the dead bats. Realizing that he was actually not in danger, he felt calmer than before. Puffing his chest proudly, he continued searching through the forest.

It was in that way that he made his way together, gathering more and more fangs ….

Another two hours passed, and Du Lingfei darted out from the trees, looking extremely drenched. As he sped up the mountain, he looked back anxiously into the dark forest. Finally, he reached Feng Yan, and realized that Bai Xiaochun was invisible.

"Bai Xiaochun hasn't come out yet?" she asked.

Feng Yan sighed and shook his head. “I wish you all the best for Junior Brother Bai. Unfortunately, two-headed bats are most active at night. If we go back looking for him, we'll be in a lot of danger. " To make things look more realistic, he did not rest, but instead stuck his neck anxiously into the forest, as if he was waiting for Bai Xiaochun to appear.

Du Lingfei maintained his silence. Even though he hated Bai Xiaochun, he did not hate him so much that he wished him dead. After all, they were fellow members of the same sect. Finally, he sat down cross-legged and stared at the forest, sighing.

Time passed, and it was almost dawn.

After waiting for an entire night without seeing Bai Xiaochun, Du Lingfei got a very uncomfortable feeling.

Feng Yan stood up. After being awake all night, his eyes reddened as he looked sadly towards the forest. "If he hasn't shown up yet, I'm afraid that means that Bai Xiaochun. It was all my fault. If I had not suggested going through the forest, Brother Brother Bai would not have. "

"Sister Feng, don't blame yourself," Du Lingfei said. "Who ever thought that there would be a two-headed bat in this place? Maybe Bai Xiaochun is not dead yet. Moreover, if he dies, then as fellow disciples, we should take his corpse! " He wasn't sure what kind of emotion he was experiencing, which was a very strange sensation. Even though Bai Xiaochun was bothering him, he somehow felt troubled. After all, there was no deep grudge between the two of them.

Feng Yan sighed and nodded seriously. "You're right, Junior Sister Du. No matter what happens, we can't give up on him. "

With that, the two of them prepared to descend the mountain to begin the search.

However, just a moment later they saw Bai Xiaochun walking out from inside the tree, yawning. As soon as he walked out of the forest himself, he squirmed lazily.

Du Lingfei's eyes widened, and Feng Yan could hardly believe what he saw when Bai Xiaochun casually started walking on the mountain path.

He almost looked like he had just woken up from a deep sleep. He looked excited and energetic, in contrast to Feng Yan and Du Lingfei, who were tired from a night without rest.

Soon, Bai Xiaochun was at the top of the mountain. When he saw Feng Yan and Du Lingfei, he rushed over and called, “Good morning! Elder Brother Feng, Elder Du, that forest is too scary! I almost lost my little life. ”

Bai Xiaochun had truly rested well that night. After clearing the entire bat forest, not only did he make a huge profit, he also found the bat cave, where he experienced a beautiful night's sleep.

An unsightly expression could be seen on Du Lingfei's face as he glared at Bai Xiaochun. Grunting coldly, he thought back to the complicated feeling he was feeling, and suddenly felt even more irritated by Bai Xiaochun.

A cold glint passed through Feng Yan's eyes, although his expression was one of joy. “Junior Brother Bai! I'm so glad to see you're safe. We've been worrying about you all night. ”

Bai Xiaochun chuckled, and although his expression seemed normal, deep within his eyes, a cold ray of light flickered.

Soon, the three of them were on their way again, sitting on the ship. Considering what had just happened, Bai Xiaochun suggested that they fly on the ship at night and continue the journey on foot during the day. In a rare way, Du Lingfei agreed, and to Feng Yan, after thinking for a while, he nodded.

So, they continued down the Heavenspan River as they headed towards the Lower Reaches.

Month passed.

This was the farthest Bai Xiaochun had ever lived in his entire life. He saw many mountains and forests, places where there was no sign of human habitation at all, and all of them were like vast wilderness.

At one point on their way, the ground started to tremble, and Bai Xiaochun looked at the distant mountains to see something truly astounding. It was a huge giant covered in thick fur, which caused the ground to shudder with every step it took.

The gigantic sight made Bai Xiaochun gasp.

One night as they were flying together, lightning fell in the distance, and Bai Xiaochun saw .. a large bird that was as large as Fragrant Cloud Peak. As he whistled through the air, countless lightning strikes danced all over his body. Just seeing such a creature flying in the middle of the night was truly astounding.

The most memorable thing Bai Xiaochun saw was during the day when he saw a ferocious beast on the south bank of the river. It had four stocky legs, and a head as big as a mountain. Suddenly, a huge 30,000 meter golden crocodile exploded from within the Heavenspan River and devoured the first creature. As the crocodile sank back into the water, he looked at Bai Xiaochun and the others with a cold look.

That fleeting glance caused their minds to twist, and blood flowed out from the corner of their mouths. The splitting pain tore through their eyes, and it took a long time for them to recover.

Bai Xiaochun shivered and then muttered, “Gruesome. Outside is scary! "
