Undying Life

Chapter 34: Fire Wolf Valley

"Zhongdi, are you sure about what you said?" Wang Gui frowned as he looked towards Zhongshan in the distance.

"Absolutely, Zhongdi dare not hide anything," Zhongdi immediately replied.

"Senior Brother, according to Zhongdi, this Zhongshan is indeed formidable. Last time, despite being only at the third level of Innate Realm, he defeated Tang Xiaoyou, who was at the same level, if not more... " Wang Gui frowned as he looked towards Liu Ming.

"Zhongdi, what do you think?" Liu Ming asked Zhongdi in a deep voice.

"It's up to Senior Brother to decide," Zhongdi said with his head lowered, as if he didn't want the two to see his expression.

"Considering the speed at which Hao San and the others just went, we definitely won't catch up. Since we encountered this Zhongshan, then..." A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Wang Gui's face.

Zhongdi and Wang Gui both looked at Liu Ming.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Ming looked at the two and said, "The direction they went leads to Fire Wolf Valley."

"I knew Senior Brother and I were on the same page," Wang Gui immediately said with a smile.

Zhongdi, however, sighed quietly at this moment, his brows furrowed slightly, feeling a sense of heaviness in his heart.

Zhongshan sprinted all the way towards Tianling'er, with a bitter smile in his heart. If he had known not to agree with Tianxingzi, he wouldn't have gotten himself into so much trouble. But then again, no matter how much trouble, there would be great rewards.

Taking care of Tianling'er for a year meant that in the future, he would have a mentor in the Nascent Soul stage. For Zhongshan, whose aptitude was extremely poor, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity. Although Tianling'er flew away in anger, for some reason, her flight wasn't fast. At least, with Zhongshan using the Wind Chaser Boots, he could still keep up from a distance.

Flying until nightfall, Tianling'er landed in a valley, with Zhongshan following suit. However, Tianling'er was very annoyed at the moment. No matter what Zhongshan said, she refused to listen, turning her back on him.

"Bag," Zhongshan said.

"Snap!" Tianling'er threw the things from her bracelet onto the ground.

Shaking his head, Zhongshan looked at Tianling'er, who was acting childish, and smiled faintly. He took out some food and a hammock from the bag, preparing to spend the night.

Although Tianling'er was angry, she still ate the food. She just didn't want to talk to Zhongshan. Zhongshan remained silent as well.

Looking at the osmanthus cake in her hand, Tianling'er's mood, which had just recovered a bit, once again turned sorrowful. She stared at the osmanthus cake in her hand for a long time, unable to put it into her mouth.

"Don't want to eat? Then have it for breakfast tomorrow," Zhongshan said from the hammock.

Hearing the words of the big villain behind her, Tianling'er felt angry again. Opening her mouth, she stuffed the osmanthus cake into her mouth. If you tell me not to eat it, I will eat it.

On the top of a distant mountain peak.

Zhongdi, Wang Gui, and Liu Ming landed there.

"Zhongshan, what did you say? Such a good opportunity, and you're not attacking?" Wang Gui looked at Zhongdi with surprise.

Liu Ming also stared at Zhongdi, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Zhongshan, I know him. The most alert time for him is not when he's awake, but when he's sleeping. The surroundings of this valley, as well as around us, although it seems calm, I dare say, with his alertness, as long as we enter the interior, they will definitely notice us," Zhongdi said solemnly.

"Oh?" Liu Ming frowned and looked at Zhongdi.

"How do you know?" Wang Gui didn't believe it. How could that be possible?

"It's true. Although I don't know what's there, when I hadn't entered the immortal sect before, whenever I rested in the mountains, he seemed to be aware of any movement within a kilometer. That's why I said he's terrifying," Zhongdi explained.

Wang Gui didn't believe it. He looked at Liu Ming, but Senior Brother Liu Ming frowned and finally said, "Okay, let's wait until Fire Wolf Valley."

"But, they've been deviating from the direction of Fire Wolf Valley all this way. How do we make them go there? What if they don't go?" Wang Gui frowned.

"Senior Brother, Second Brother, actually, I have a way. Since Tianling'er has been in the lead all this time and Zhongshan has been following behind, I can lead them to Fire Wolf Valley without revealing myself," Zhongdi suddenly said.

"Oh?" Both of them looked at Zhongdi in surprise.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of Senior Brother and Second Brother, Zhongdi smiled bitterly. "Speaking of which, this method was taught to me by Zhongshan. But now, Zhongshan doesn't know we're following him, so I think he won't notice."

The next day, under Zhongshan's instigation, Tianling'er stuffed several pieces of osmanthus cake into her mouth and continued flying towards a distance, still ignoring Zhongshan. However, after a day passed, Tianling'er seemed to have calmed down a lot. Her flying speed wasn't as frantic as yesterday, but she still refused to speak to Zhongshan.

Zhongshan shook his head helplessly. Dealing with a young lady was truly difficult.

As they ran, Zhongshan suddenly saw a skinned wild beast in the distance, its internal organs scattered all over the ground, with a large amount of blood seemingly pointing towards the distant forest.

Zhongshan didn't pay much attention, assuming that hunters in the area were skinning animals for trade.

Continuing to chase after Tianling'er, Zhongshan soon saw another corpse of a beast. However, this time, the beast's corpse was even more disgusting, as if it had been rapidly dismembered.

Zhongshan frowned and continued to pursue Tianling'er.

When Zhongshan saw the third beast's corpse exposed in another disgusting manner, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. A bad premonition enveloped him.

Looking around carefully, Zhongshan noticed that the air had become significantly hotter. In the distance, a volcanic-like structure emitted faint black smoke.

Upon scrutinizing their route, Zhongshan's sense of foreboding intensified.

"Tianling'er, stop!" Zhongshan shouted towards the distance.

But Tianling'er was still angry and wouldn't listen to Zhongshan.

Seeing this, Zhongshan felt anxious. He quickened his pace, and Tianling'er, instinctively speeding up upon seeing Zhongshan approaching, flew rapidly towards the direction of the volcano.

Not far from the volcano, on the summit of a treacherous peak, Wang Gui, Liu Ming, and Zhongdi stood together, watching Zhongshan getting closer below.

"Zhongdi, your method is disgusting, but surprisingly effective. Tianling'er was clearly flying in the sky and couldn't possibly touch those corpses, yet she slowly approached this place. Why?" Wang Gui looked at Tianling'er, who was getting closer and closer, with amazement.

Seeing Zhongshan approaching, Zhongdi sighed and said, "At the fork in the road, even the slightest psychological change can be magnified to the extreme."

"Isn't this the saying about a miss by an inch, a miss by a mile?" Wang Gui chuckled.

"Alright, let's begin," Liu Ming said, frowning.

"Okay," Wang Gui nodded.

Nodding, Wang Gui suddenly took out a powerful bow and arrow from his storage bracelet.

Gripping the bow tightly, he pulled the string with all his strength, creating a perfect full moon shape with the bow, and then let go.

"Swoosh!"

The arrow made a series of sounds as it broke through the air. Tianling'er, who was flying, immediately noticed the distant arrow's sound and turned to see that the arrow was aimed towards the valley ahead. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Similarly, Zhongshan also noticed the arrow. His eyes widened in shock as he turned to look at where the arrow had come from.

Zhongdi? Was it Zhongdi, that traitor?

Seeing this scene, Zhongshan's eyes narrowed, and thoughts raced through his mind. He quickly made the fastest analysis.

"Tianling'er, it's dangerous, quickly, run!" Zhongshan shouted to Tianling'er.

But Tianling'er, although still stubborn, now realized that the situation was dire. She looked at the disappearing arrow and then glanced at the summit of the distant mountain.

"Awooooo!"

From the valley where the arrow disappeared, a wolf howl suddenly sounded.

Hearing this sound, Zhongshan knew it was bad, very bad. Was this a trap set by the traitor? Even if Tianling'er was still angry, she now knew that something was wrong. She looked at the nearby valley with a vigilant expression.

Meanwhile, the three people on the summit of the treacherous peak, upon hearing the wolf howl, showed a hint of excitement.

"Whoosh!"

A two-meter-tall fiery red monster wolf suddenly appeared in their sight, followed by another one and another one. In just a few breaths, there were over a hundred two-meter-tall fiery red monster wolves, and more than two hundred?

Moreover, over ten of them were over three meters tall, and there was even one over four meters tall—a wolf king.

Fire wolves, demonic beasts known as fire wolves.

Seeing the sudden appearance of numerous fire wolves, Tianling'er knew they were in trouble.

"Run!" Zhongshan shouted to Tianling'er, turning around and running.

"Awooooo!"

The four-meter-tall fire wolf let out a roar, and over a hundred fire wolves rushed towards Zhongshan and Tianling'er, their eyes filled with bloodthirst, as if they were determined to tear the two apart as sacrifices.
