Chapter Thirty-Five: The Death Valley of Fog

  Although the golden-haired pig was killed by Zhou Heng and his men, most of the spoils had to be taken back to the clan, but taking some out to eat wouldn't have anyone saying anything.

  Zhou Heng and his friends started a fire and roasted a leg of pork.

  This is a great tonic, and if you bring it back to your family, there won't be enough for them, so you'd better have a taste of the freshness now.

  Don't look at a pig leg weighing over 100 catties, but Zhou Heng and the others were all cultivators, each with an enormous appetite. In less than half an hour, the pig leg completely disappeared into the bellies of the seven people.

  Everyone didn't waste such a good thing, and they all sat down one by one to practice their skills and digest the benefits of the demon beast meat.

  The so-called strengths and weaknesses can only be revealed through comparison. When Zhou Heng has already achieved success, others are still working hard to cultivate themselves, including Han Yulian and Qi Guangyao who are no exception.

  A technique capable of making even a strong Soul Realm cultivator fall is indeed extraordinary!

  It wasn't until half an hour later that Qi Guangyao finally stopped and got up, five minutes later it was Han Yulian, and more than 20 minutes after that, the others gradually stopped one by one.

  That's the difference.

  Zhou Heng didn't want to reveal the secret of Yueying's Heart Technique, so he pretended to be calm and sat for a long time before standing up. Anyway, no one could see through his true intentions.

  After the previous battle, the relationship between the five members of the team suddenly became close, and Han Yulian's charm was even more fascinating to the young men, especially Qi Guangyao, who was particularly annoying and always entangled.

  The next day the party continued hunting and were quite lucky, almost every day they had a harvest.

  Zhou Heng still doesn't talk about teamwork, charging forward single-mindedly, but this isn't a bad method either, letting the other four people coordinate with him, every time they are invincible, although it makes Han Yulian very unhappy, there's nothing to say.

  Five days later, Han Yulian could no longer stand Qi Guangyao's entanglement and proposed to divide the team, with Qi Guangyao and she each leading half of the people to hunt separately.

  Qi Guangyao came under the pretext of helping Han Yulian, but after being given a big hat by Han Yulian, he couldn't push it away no matter what, and had to reluctantly agree with a dark face.

  After discussion, Qi Guangyao led two people in action, while Han Yulian led three.

  No one wanted to be with Qi Guangyao, this arrogant guy, so they had no choice but to draw lots to decide, which made Qi Guangyao so angry that his face turned green.

  In the end, Zhou Heng, Mao Xianzhi and Lu Qing drew Han Yulian, while the other two unlucky ones were with Qi Guangyao.

  Both parties agreed to meet again in five days, and after returning to the Jiuling Sect together, they went their separate ways. Looking at Qi Guangyao's iron-green face, Zhou Heng and the other two were all silently mourning for each other.

  Although two people were missing, as long as Zhou Heng was there, the efficiency of hunting and killing monsters would not change much, making Mao Xianzhi and Lu Qing admire Zhou Heng even more.

  Three days later, they came to a mountain valley. Unexpectedly, after walking in for not far, the weather suddenly became extremely abnormal, and hail actually started falling. Zhou Heng and his party had no choice but to stop their footsteps and hide under a protruding large stone.

  Before long, the ground was covered with ice blocks, some as big as half a palm, which left people staring in amazement.

  The temperature suddenly dropped, and although Zhou Heng and the other two were in the Bone Refining Realm, they still shivered with cold. Only Han Yulian had reached the Blood Refining Realm, her body's energy and blood were flourishing, unaffected by the extreme cold.

  The hail lasted for more than half an hour before it finally stopped, and outside was already a layer of ice.

  "This valley has never been visited before, since I've come, let's explore it!" Han Yulian quickly made a decision.

  The four people walked deeper, only to see that the canyon was filled with thick fog, visibility getting worse and worse, with a faint feeling of eerie wind whistling. Just as they were walking, a flash of lightning streaked across, and suddenly a torrential rain poured down!

  This time they can't hide even if they want to. All around is a dense blackness, and the road can't be seen clearly. Where can they still hide?

  It didn't rain for long, and it stopped just as suddenly. The fog rolled in quickly, and everything returned to normal. However, less than ten minutes after the rain stopped, a strong gust of wind suddenly picked up, howling incessantly.

  "What kind of place is this, and why is it so strange?"

  All four of them couldn't hide their doubts and felt that this place was strange to the extreme!

  "This is terrible, could it be the Misty Death Valley?" Han Yulian's pretty face suddenly changed color.

  "What is Misty Death Valley?" Zhou Heng asked.

  "The Misty Death Valley is a treacherous place in the Pingtian Mountains, shrouded in mist all year round. Nine out of ten people who enter never come out again! But legend has it that this mist covers the entire valley, so how did it suddenly shrink to just inside here?" Han Yulian looked puzzled, otherwise she wouldn't have led Zhou Heng and the others in.

  So treacherous!

  Zhou Heng furrowed his brow, while Mao Xianzhi and Lu Qing both trembled slightly.

  "Go back immediately!" Han Yulian made a decisive decision.

  The four of them turned back and walked away, but after half a day, they all stopped dejectedly - unable to walk out!

  They were clearly not far from entering the valley, and logically speaking, turning back to walk for ten or twenty minutes should have been enough to get out, but after so long they still couldn't get out, which is obviously abnormal.

  Hit the wall?

  Otherwise, how could they possibly get out of there? It's not a maze!

  "It's this fog!" Zhou Heng suddenly spoke up, "It has a bewildering effect on one's mind!"

  Han Yu Lian and the other two suddenly came to a realization, Mao Xian Zhi said: "Then we'll hold our breath!"

  Four people acted on the words, but it was useless. Even if a warrior held his breath for a long time, it would not be enough to let them leave the valley. Half an hour later, they were still wandering in the same place.

  Time had already reached dusk, and this place was originally shrouded in fog, suddenly becoming even more gloomy, almost to the point of not being able to see one's fingers when stretching out a hand.

  "What should we do? Are we going to be trapped here forever?" Lu Qing's voice was trembling. Hadn't Han Yulian said before that out of ten people who came in, nine would never come out?!

  "Let's take a break first, eat something to fill our stomachs and boost our spirits. I'll definitely get you guys out of here!" Han Yulian said solemnly, but even she wasn't sure if she believed it herself.

  Zhou Heng sat cross-legged on the ground, attempting to communicate with the black broken sword in his dantian. This was a divine object and might have an extraordinary effect.

  Buzz!

  Ten minutes later, the Black Sword suddenly reacted and released a wave of divine light.

  Just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, the entire fog sea suddenly surged with great waves, rolling up vast winds and clouds.

  "What happened?"

  "I don't want to die!"

  Lu Qing and Mao Xianzhi both involuntarily exclaimed, the notorious name of Misty Valley was well-known, and now this change was even more bizarre, making them feel terrified.

  Han Yu Lian tried to calm down a bit, but she couldn't hide her panic, after all, this was far beyond her understanding.

  "Follow me!" Zhou Heng suddenly stood up, his eyes were extremely clear, and the fog could no longer block his line of sight.

  His calm voice gave the other three people an inexplicable courage, they were in a state of extreme panic, and when someone stood up, it naturally made them involuntarily rely on him.

  Zhou Heng took a big step forward, while Han Yulian and the other two followed closely behind. In fact, they had no confidence in Zhou Heng's ability to walk out at all, but were infected by his confidence.

  After walking two miles, the fog suddenly dispersed, a sprinkle of starlight fell, and it was suddenly clear.

  He's really gone!

  Mao Xianzhi and Lu Qing both let out a cheer, the two of them couldn't help but hug each other tightly, filled with the joy of being reunited after a narrow escape.

  "How did you do it?" Han Yulian couldn't see through this Body Refining Seventh Layer youth anymore - huh, wasn't he just at the late stage of Body Refining Seventh Layer a few days ago? How could he reach the peak so quickly? Did he eat an immortal pill?!

  Mao Xianzhi and Lu Qing only then realized that it was Zhou Heng who had led them out, both of them staring at Zhou Heng in astonishment. After all, this Misty Death Valley had swallowed up countless lives!

  Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said: "Maybe my eyes are a bit different from others, I can see some things that others can't!"

  "Ghost, is it a ghost?" Lu Qing said in a trembling voice.

  It is said that there are yin and yang eyes that can see the ghosts after death. Is Zhou Heng being guided by these ghosts to walk out of the valley?

  As they thought about it, Han Yu Lian and the other two couldn't help but shudder at the unknown thing that frightened them the most.

  Zhou Heng suddenly became serious and nodded solemnly, causing Han Yulian's face to turn white, while Lu Qing and the other person hugged each other even tighter.

  "You wait here, I'll go take a look!" Zhou Heng suddenly became interested in this valley.

  "No way!" Han Yulian immediately shook her head. "You may have gotten away with it once, but next time... those unclean things won't necessarily help you again!"

  Dirty things?

  Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was referring to the "ghosts". He couldn't help but reveal a smile and said, "It's okay, I'm good friends with them!"

  Are you good friends with a ghost? This sounds disgusting no matter how you listen to it! The faces of the three, Han Yu Lian, turned even paler.

  "Then... I'll go in with you!" Han Yulian said suddenly.

  "What?" Zhou Heng turned around and looked at her.

  "I am your captain and I am responsible for each and every one of your safety!"

  "Isn't Teacher Han afraid of getting stuck?"

  "Didn't you say they were very familiar with...?"

  Zhou Heng was stunned, and after walking around for half a day, he even got himself lost. He nodded his head and said, "Okay!"

  "Lu Qing, Mao Xianzhi, you two stay here and wait for us!" Han Yulian turned back to instruct the two young men who were still embracing each other.

  Lu Qing and the others had no intention of following them into the canyon again, they were afraid that Han Yulian would also ask them to go together, hearing this, it was naturally the best, they hastily nodded.

  Zhou Heng took a big step forward, Han Yulian followed him, but stopped after a few steps and turned back.

  Lu Qing and the other person were worried that she would change her mind, wanting them to go in together. Just as they heard her say: "Have you two hugged enough?" They only then realized they were hugging each other, hastily separating, both feeling a strong wave of nausea rising up their throats.

  When they lifted their heads again, Zhou Heng and Han Yulian had already disappeared into the fog. The cold wind blew over, and a chill ran through their hearts once more.
