Chapter 867: Dark Night Seas (1)
The Dark Night Seas was the most mysterious and dangerous place on the Boundless Heaven Continent.
After walking along the misty path, they saw a blood sun hanging high in the sky above the Dark Night Seas. The entire Dark Night Seas was black, but the spiritual energy inside was very abundant. The vegetation was lush, which showed that this place was extremely suitable for the growth of plants.
“It’s still daylight outside, miss, but it’s dark in here. It’s so strange,” said Lütao, looking puzzled at the dark night sky.
“This place doesn’t differentiate between day and night. It’s like this all year round. Moreover, even though this place is called the Dark Night Seas, it’s not the sea. It’s made up of mountains and forests.” Leng Ruoxue chuckled. Then, she bent down to pick up a herb and put it into her bracelet.
“Miss, there are herbs there too.” Lü Tao saw that there were herbs growing under a tree vine and quickly ran over. She was about to pick them when Leng Ruoxue stopped her.
“Be careful!” Leng Ruoxue warned. Then, a fiery red mystic energy was released from her fingertips. Lü Tao was shocked, but then she saw that the vines behind her were burned to ashes. The parts that had not been burned were trembling and even letting out cries.
“Miss, what is this!” Lü Tao covered her chest with her hand and said in shock. It was really terrifying. The tree vines were actually bleeding red juice.
“That’s a Bloodsucking Vine. It’s best at disguise and likes to suck blood. Oh! It’s also a low-level plant-type beast! However, its intelligence isn’t high and it only acts on instinct,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
“Don’t act alone here. Don’t be too far away from each other in case you don’t have time to take care of each other. Be careful when collecting herbs and minerals,” Leng Ruoxue added.
“Yes,” said Lü Tao and the others quickly.
After that, Leng Ruoxue and the others continued deeper.
The deeper they went, the more varieties of herbs there were. Moreover, they found many ores, some of which were relatively precious. The little old man was overjoyed and kept shouting that he had not come in vain.
“Everyone, set up camp here today!” Leng Ruoxue instructed after walking for a while and arriving at a relatively flat area.
“Yes,” Feng Da and the others replied. Then, they quickly set up the tent.
After setting up the tent, they started cooking again.
They had just finished preparing the food when an uninvited guest arrived.
“How fragrant!”
Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded in everyone’s ears.
Leng Ruoxue and the others looked up warily at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of them. No one spoke first.
“Sorry, I was rude.” The young man smiled in embarrassment and sat down beside Leng Ruoxue and the others.
“Who are you?” Leng Ruoxue asked softly, her beautiful eyes constantly sizing up the man in front of her.
The man in front of her was in his twenties. He was handsome and his clothes were a little messy. He looked weak and seemed to have no strength. However, Leng Ruoxue knew that this man was definitely not what he looked like. He was probably in some kind of disguise. However, looking at this man’s clothes, he did not look like someone from the Boundless Heaven Continent.
“I’m Ren Xuan. I got separated from my family. Can I accompany you? I can pay,” the man said in embarrassment.
“Ren?” Leng Ruoxue recalled carefully, but she could not remember the Ren family on the Boundless Heaven Continent.
“That’s right! Our Ren family is the number one family in the Cloudwind Continent, so if I travel with you, I will definitely treat you well.” Ren Xuan said very sincerely.
Cloudwind Continent? Leng Ruoxue and the others looked at each other when they heard this name. They were even more surprised, but no one showed it.
“Why did you get separated from your family?” Leng Ruoxue temporarily put down the doubts in her heart and pretended to be curious. After all, she knew that there was more than one continent in this world, but she didn’t expect to meet someone from another continent in the Dark Night Seas.
“I’m ashamed to say this, but actually, I was framed by my family and deliberately dumped by them,” Ren Xuan said with some shame.
“Right now, our Ren family is at a critical moment in choosing our young master. If there’s one less person, there will be one less person to compete with. Therefore, I was deliberately abandoned by them.” Ren Xuan added.
“What’s your strength?” Leng Ruoxue asked bluntly. She knew that this man must have hidden his strength. Otherwise, how could a person who had been dumped by his family members only have slightly wrinkled clothes but survive in the Dark Night Seas unscathed? After all, this place was filled with danger.
“I’m a Mystic Supremacy. However, there are many Mystic Monarch among the Ren family members who came to the Dark Night Seas this time, and I’m also here as an elite of the family with the strength of a Mystic Monarch. Therefore, you have to keep it a secret for me!” Ren Xuan blinked and said with a light smile. In fact, he was not interested in the young master. However, some people in the family did not believe him and even used such a clumsy method to scheme against him. Sigh! He really had nothing to say!
“Don’t worry, we’re not talkative people. Since you’re behind, you can go with us for the time being,” Leng Ruoxue said kindly.
“Hehe! Thank you. It’s dangerous here. It’s really dangerous to be alone.” Ren Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
“You haven’t eaten anything yet!” Leng Ruoxue handed over a piece of roasted meat.
“Yes, thank you,” Ren Xuan said a little embarrassedly. Then, he started eating in big mouthfuls. Oh! Compared to these people in front of him, he seemed to be in a sorry state.
“Feng Da, Cheng Wu, you two keep watch today!” Leng Ruoxue instructed after dinner.
“I’ll keep watch tonight!” Ren Xuan volunteered.
“No need, you should rest well!” Leng Ruoxue said considerately. In fact, she was not at ease letting a stranger keep watch. Even though she had just let Qing Jue read Ren Xuan’s mind and knew that what this man said to them was true, she still could not trust a stranger.
