I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

Chapter 34 Ambush! Fierce Battle!

A thin ice pick was stuck in the woman's shoulder, and blood was flowing freely, covering half of her body.

In her hand, she tightly clutched a yellow silk handkerchief, which shimmered with light and seemed to be no ordinary item.

The woman slowly climbed to her feet, looked at the wound on her shoulder, and frowned.

She raised her other hand, gently grasped one end of the ice pick, gritted her teeth, and pulled it out with a hiss.

The pain made her gasp, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

But she held back and didn't make a sound.

After taking some medicinal powder from the storage bag and applying it, and then simply bandaging it with a strip of cloth, the woman actually let out a low sob.

Such things are commonplace in the Bloodstained Forbidden Land.

The strong hunt down the weak.

Occasionally, those with weaker abilities manage to escape unscathed or even turn the tables on those with higher cultivation levels.

Everyone who survived has their own story.

After resting for half a day, Zhou Yuan and Han Li set off again.

Along the way, they did not encounter anyone who tried to ambush them.

Because most of the strong who entered the central area of ​​the Crimson Forbidden Land from this direction died.

Feng Yue, Duobao Nu, the Spirit Beast Mountain cultivator who was instantly killed by Zhou Yuan, and the Tianque Fort youth who was killed by Han Li's golden brick.

The top combat forces in this area were almost completely wiped out by Zhou Yuan and Han Li.

The rest were all weak cultivators, hiding in one place and not daring to move around.

Zhou Yuan and Han Li, wanting to obtain the three main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill, naturally wouldn't hide like them.

Soon after, Zhou Yuan and Han Li arrived in front of a stone wall several meters high.

He was staring intently at the wall in front of him with a strange expression.

Not far from one side of this stone wall is an antique bronze gate.

The bronze door was inscribed with many ancient characters that the two of them could not understand at all, resembling patterns.

The fact that this bronze door is now wide open indicates that someone has already entered it.

According to the information provided by Huang Fenggu, there should be four such bronze doors.

These correspond to the four directions and are the only entrances to the central area.

Apart from that, the rest of the area was enclosed by what appeared to be low stone walls.

Anyone who tries to sneak into the central area by jumping over the stone wall instead of entering through the bronze gate will be in serious trouble.

It will be cut into pieces by the wind-based forbidden magic attached to the wall.

Zhou Yuan and Han Li were certainly aware of this, and naturally wouldn't have the foolish idea of ​​passing through the wall.

The reason they were staring so intently at the wall was simply because the wall was indeed somewhat unusual.

There were some "things" on it that were not found on ordinary walls.

On this wall, there are three people dressed differently, their limbs pierced by thick icicles, nailed together in a star-shaped pattern and hanging there side by side.

He showed no signs of life and had been dead for some time.

The three corpses seemed to serve as both a warning and a boast.

"It seems someone has already gone in first and even took care of some of the smaller fry," Zhou Yuan said calmly.

Han Li nodded, his expression grave: "To be able to kill three people at the same time and then nail them to the wall as a warning, this person is not weak, and moreover—ruthless."

Let's go!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yuan cast a Golden Armor spell on himself.

His mana recovers extremely quickly, and he can keep the Golden Armor spell active all the time without any problems—he didn't use it before because it affected his speed.

Now that we have the Cloud-Stepping Boots, speed is no longer an issue; in fact, activating the Golden Armor Technique makes us even safer.

Seeing this, Han Li also cast a protective aura on himself.

The two of them stepped carefully through the bronze gate, one after the other.

Upon entering, a fairyland scene of birdsong and fragrant flowers unfolded before my eyes.

Various exotic flowers and plants, as well as many strange trees whose names I don't know, are everywhere.

Silver chrysanthemums the size of bowls, strange trees as red as blood, purple grass emitting a unique fragrance, yellow bamboo as thick as a person's waist, etc., these are all rare things that are hard to find outside the world.

Among these rare plants and trees, there was a winding, pebbly path that led from where the two stood to a distance hidden by branches and leaves, seemingly without end.

"Such rich spiritual energy!" Han Li took a deep breath, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is at least 30% higher than outside!

No wonder the medicinal herbs in the central area are older and of better quality.

Zhou Yuan dared not be careless, and he fully extended his divine sense to vigilantly scan his surroundings.

"Be careful—" Before he could finish speaking, something unexpected happened!

"Two more fat sheep have arrived—"

A cold, eerie voice came from the flower bushes.

The next moment, two green figures darted out from the flower bushes on one side!

They are two winged flying snakes!

Its entire body is emerald green, with purple fleshy wings on its back. It flicks its tongue and moves as fast as lightning!

Fortunately, both of them had cast defensive spells before entering.

One of the flying snakes struck the golden aura surrounding Zhou Yuan's body with a muffled "thud," but it couldn't break through the Golden Armor Technique's defense.

The other flying snake, however, rushed directly towards Han Li!

Han Li's azure protective aura was actually bitten through by the flying snake!

"not good!"

Han Li was so frightened that he retreated rapidly, simultaneously summoning the Black Dragon Shield to block in front of him.

"clang!"

The flying snake crashed into the shield and was bounced off, but Han Li's protective aura had already shattered.

"court death!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes, and he instantly unleashed the Golden Sword Technique, his fingers forming a sword-like shape!

Twelve golden sword blades appeared out of thin air and lashed out at the two flying snakes!

Although the flying snake was fast, it could not outrun the instantaneous and dense golden sword strikes.

With two soft thuds, the two flying snakes were pierced by the golden sword, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then remained still.

"How dare you kill my Savage Mountain Flying Serpent!"

A furious shout rang out.

A burly man rushed out and, without saying a word, brandished a yellow stick.

"Cloud-Stepping Boots?"

Behind the burly man followed another man of medium build, with uneven eyes, a face covered in black pockmarks, and about forty years old. He also had seven or eight bags of different sizes hanging on his body.

His hideous face was now filled with astonishment!

His eyes were fixed on the spirit boots on Zhou Yuan's feet, as if he still couldn't believe that these "Cloud-Stepping Boots" were on Zhou Yuan's feet.

"Wait, I have something to say!"

The ugly man stopped his companion.

"Shut up!"

Zhou Yuan showed no mercy to those who ambushed him, and immediately unleashed the Golden Sword Technique once more, sending out twelve golden swords in an instant.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The burly man and the ugly man quickly summoned their defensive magical artifacts to parry, barely managing to block the attack.

"Instantaneous Golden Sword Technique?"

The ugly man exclaimed in surprise again.

"Don't misunderstand, we're friends with Feng Yue. Since he gave you the Cloud-Stepping Boots, it means you're his friend too—"

""

The ugly man quickly explained to Zhou Yuan.

"Heh, that deadbeat Feng Yue, does he even deserve to be my friend?" Zhou Yuan sneered.

"I'll take you two to see him right away!"
