776: Chapter 229_5 776: Chapter 229_5 “Impossible, they can’t do it.
The last time I came here, I saw a force, I don’t know which, with even over a hundred people gathered together.
Strong as they might be, they are just five people, there’s no way they could bulldoze through the presence of a hundred Golden Core Stage beings.”
“That’s not necessarily the case.
But even if they are strong, it doesn’t guarantee they will get the biggest treasure, it all comes down to opportunity.”
Cao Zhen followed the fat man flying towards the distance, flying for a whole day.
They had entered the ruins in the morning, yet as dusk fell, they had not stopped.
With their cultivation bases, if the island was as big as they had seen from the outside, they would have already crossed it, but now, they were still flying, proving indeed the island was a minor world.
Along the way, they also saw three battlefields.
But Linghu Gudu didn’t stop at all, still chasing the direction the compass pointed towards, flying ahead.
Gradually, the sun at the horizon began to set.
The daylight was dimming.
And the needle on the compass was pointing straight in one direction.
On their way, the needle on the compass had not been moving straight ahead, often the direction would be fluctuating back and forth.
This time, the needle didn’t waver at all.
Li Ke quickly noticed the change with the needle, abruptly turning her head to look at Linghu Gudu.
Linghu Gudu almost at the same time looked at the group, his face grave as he said, “Such a change signifies that there’s definitely opportunity ahead.
However, everyone be careful, opportunity also means there’s danger.”
“Of course, but if there’s opportunity, that’s enough!”
Excitement flashed across Li Ke’s face.
Among the four from the Hundred Peaks Sect, why Cao Zhen came, she did not know; Ling Xi and Yan Yourong came purely because of their master’s orders.
But her, she truly came for the opportunities within the ruins!
Seeing Li Ke’s hastiness, Linghu Gudu quickly cautioned, “Be careful, according to my experience, the dangers ahead are significant.”
He really did have experience.
His luck was extremely extreme.
Although, often times, he was very unlucky, clearly entering the same ruins where others got treasures, but after a great deal of effort and facing endless dangers, he got nothing.
But sometimes, he did really encounter great opportunities.
However, such great opportunities came with immense dangers.
And even after overcoming the dangers, there were several occasions when he didn’t even receive the opportunity.
Anyway, after so many experiences, he had become certain that when his compass pointed unwaveringly in one direction, there might truly be an opportunity—or there might not be; that wasn’t certain.
But one thing was for sure: there would be danger.
Of course, even with danger, they still had to go take a look.
This was also why he allied with these people.
These people were so strong, maybe the danger could be resolved by them!
The group continued flying in the direction indicated by the needle for half an incense stick’s time, and waves of strong death energy reached them from afar.
This was an Ancient Era battlefield, with countless skeletons, naturally there was death energy.
The stacks of skeletons they had encountered before also emitted death energy, but those did not have such intense death energy.
Li Ke’s eyes suddenly grew brighter: “This death energy suggests that those who died before must have had cultivation bases far surpassing the skeletons we have seen so far.”
Excitement and eagerness appeared on Linghu Gudu’s face.
With such death energy, could it be that his luck on this occasion was exceptionally good, and he was truly about to encounter an opportunity?
In the midst of excitement, his expression also became more solemn.
With such death energy, the opportunity should not be small, but the danger…
The group flew for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Beneath them appeared a gorge, with fierce winds howling endlessly within.
Even high in the void, there was an illusion that the winds could blow them down.
The sounds of howling were so intense they felt as if the canyons all around could be torn apart by the raging winds at any moment.
Within the fierce winds were bones that danced without ceasing.
“This place is really strange!”
The five landed on the edge of the gorge.
The winds inside the gorge were very peculiar, blowing only within the gorge, while outside there was hardly a breeze.
The skeleton piles they had seen before all lay quietly on the ground, but here, due to the wind, the skeletons were being blown up.
Along with the bones, there were also all kinds of damaged treasures being blown about.
Within the raging winds, were sharp Wind Blades that endlessly sliced through the air.
The skeletons, enduring who knows how many years, must be extraordinarily sturdy to remain intact.
Yet in these fierce winds, a Wind Blade would pass and instantly split a skeleton in half!
Each Wind Blade appeared as sharp as the full-strength Sword Qi or blade light of the most extraordinary swordsman, seemingly capable of easily tearing apart mountains and ripping through days and nights.
And these Wind Blades flew with no pattern and at speeds even faster than lightning.
“Is this the so-called danger?” Li Ke looked at the wildly blowing Wind Blades, took a step forward, and came one step closer to the inside of the gorge.
