Chapter 584: No Mans Land

Lan could, in fact, have ripped apart another hole in s.p.a.ce and made them appear next to Hui Yue within moments, but after realizing that Mo Lian was very curious about their past and the current world they live in, he was patient and answered every question before showing any signs of planning to leave.

Mo Lian did not understand his abilities well, and after listening to the conversation between Lan and Xue Wei, she knew that his strength had been sealed, hence she a.s.sumed that they would have to walk all the way until they located this so-called uncle.

Lan could guess her thoughts, but he was not willing to change her impression as he truly enjoyed their time spent together. For him, the situation with the ones hidden in the shadows was urgent, but this small delay would not affect much.

Xue Wei, on the other hand, did not spend his time leisurely chatting. Unlike Lan, he did not have the option of suddenly moving from one continent to another, and thus he had to travel across the rivers and mountains.

"We will leave the battlefield soon, and the land we are set to enter is a nomansland. Not many dare to venture into this area, mainly due to the difficulties it takes to traverse, but we do not have much of an option if we want to go to the Dongfang Continent."

The one who had planned their route was Bai Tianyi. He had been living for countless years, and while he accidentally split the world into numerous continents before, he was still capable of doing some simple guidance after looking at the map Lan had given them.

"Do you know this area well?"

Xue Wei could not help but furrow his brows as he heard Bai Tianyi's words. While he was eager to reach the White Tiger Clan as soon as possible, he also knew that they had to be careful on their journey.

He also had a Black Turtle bloodline which he had to absorb and integrate into his body, but he had not found a suitable place to do so yet.

Lan had helped him get through the sh.e.l.l of the corpse he had found underneath the black paG.o.da in the abandoned city within the Ghost Realm, but he had not consumed it right away.

The Ghost Realm was not a suitable place to activate the bloodline, and after returning to the living world, Xue Wei had merely stabilized his body and mind.

The knowledge that someone had planned such an intricate web behind him and was pus.h.i.+ng him into a certain direction was extremely uncomfortable and affected his mind negatively.

It was not before he and Lan spent some time discussing their options and plans that he slowly felt at ease and slowly began to adjust his mentality.

Now that they had begun traveling again, his initial intention was to merge with both the Black Turtle Bloodline and the White Tiger Bloodline at the same time, but after hearing Bai Tianyi mentioning this dangerous area up ahead, he began considering merging with the Black Turtle Bloodline ahead of time.

The bloodlines were not only able to boost his own abilities and strength, they could also a.s.sist Hei Gou in mutating further, and while it would be excruciatingly painful, his advance would be a great benefit to their entire group.

Bai Tianyi did not know of Xue Wei's concerns, so he began to twist his brows as he rapidly went through his memories.

"This area also existed when I was roaming the world. There are all kinds of environments that you can imagine, both impenetrable jungles and barren deserts.

"Some of the areas are without much life, so they are not worth spending enough effort into visiting, but others are the homes of fierce beasts with strength rivaling even Emperor Experts."

Xue Wei nodded his head. He had not thought that the area would be this vast, and that it was merely one kind of environment, but if they could pick the ones with less danger, then that would naturally be suitable for them.

"I have gotten my hands on the bloodline of a Black Turtle Clan member. I will activate my bloodline and then, if Hei Gou is willing, I will help him mutate once more before we enter this area. Although it will not provide us a guarantee when crossing the dangerous zones, it should improve our chances."

Xue Wei looked at Hei Gou to hear his opinion. It was not an easy thing to accept the mutations brought by his bloodline, and the more mutations he went through, the more dangerous and agonizing they became.

"There is no way I will back down. Although painful, I can manage."

Hei Gou was not one to back down in the face of pain or danger. To him, he had been given a future where he could fight for his dreams, and to him, it was worth it, even if he died along the way.

He would much rather die while chasing his goals than to become a coward that gave up when there was a chance of success.

Considering the previous mutation, Hei Gou was well aware that the chances of survival would not surpa.s.s fifty percent, but he was still willing to try. He would use his willpower to hang onto his consciousness and succeed!

The determined gaze made Xue Wei feel both gratified but also worried. This Celestial Dog had followed him for so many years already, and the two of them were very familiar with one another.

Xue Wei respected his choice as he, too, would have made the same one, but he still worried for his friend. Even so, he did not try to persuade him otherwise, and he showed his complete belief in the black dog's success.
