Two small shadows swiftly crossed the valley. Apart from those slightly bigger beast groups that they needed to go around, their path was pretty much unobstructed.

“This medicine is actually useful!” Chuxue’s eyes were wide as she looked at those elite beasts who were unbelievably trying to avoid them.

What was even more shocking was that Zong Shou seemed to be really familiar with the place. Throughout their journey, he easily maneuvered through the area, not stopping at all.

This valley was vast and wide, and as long as one recognized the direction, one just needed to walk straight ahead. However, Zong Shou’s grasp on the character of the beasts here was obviously something normal people couldn’t compare with.

Chuxue was filled with questions, and finally she couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master, did you come to this Blood Valley before?”

Zong Shou didn’t answer her, smiling mysteriously. This was one of the most famous mid-rank newbie regions, so naturally he had come here before. Furthermore, he had fought numerous battles with the beasts here. It was this place where his martial path began!

However, this medicine didn’t come from the game, but was an invention in real life.

Every year, there would be some hunters or people who loved to study elite beasts who would wipe this medicine on their body and enter Blood Valley.

Moreover, the library that Zong Shou worked at in his last life coincidentally had the recipe for this medicine.

This Blood Valley did indeed have the souls and wills of other ancient race experts, forcing Xiantian Realm experts to stay outside. The reason why these elite beasts would change so much and become so bloodthirsty had nothing to do with that, it was because of the influence of something else. All infected beasts would feel really sensitive to and be disgusted by the smell of the medicine on him.

Seeing Zong Shou not bother with her question, Chuxue couldn’t help but pout angrily, following behind him. Her eyes were still wary, afraid that some beast would suddenly attack and hurt him.

——

Although the medicine was good, its effects wore off quickly. Every four hours they had to apply it again.

Zong Shou didn’t think about it much, treating the trek as a feast for his eyes. He would turn around and look, while Chuxue’s face would flush red.

——

Blood Valley was around twenty miles wide, but the further one walked the narrower it got. The two of them used half a day to travel a hundred miles. Seeing that there were Grade Three beasts appearing, Zong Shou suddenly stopped.

The higher the Grade of a beast, the more intelligent they were. Even if they were affected by that thing, some could still barely maintain control. Naturally the effects of the medicine on their bodies were less effective.

These Grade Three beasts hadn’t reached a level that truly made him afraid. What he was afraid of were those Grade Five ones, similar to human Xiantian experts.

Chuxue also knew about the dangers of this area, her finger tapping between her brows and a light exploded out.

“Protector Spirit Beast!”

A small layer of smoke gathered around them. A hundred-foot long body with an ice cold aura spread around them. With sharp claws and teeth, the tiger’s eyes shone viciously.

This was the Dark Chill Tiger they had recovered before. A day before they exited the city, Zong Shou helped Chuxue tame it. Although it was only a Grade Three spirit beast, the aura from when it was still a Grade Five beast was still there, making the elite beasts around it fear it.

Who knew if it was because of their tiger bloodline relationship, but it seemed like the beast and Chuxue had some sort of a connection. Not only did it help Chuxue’s aura grow, the strength of the Dark Chill Tiger was also on the brink of Grade Four!

“This Dark Chill Tiger and Chuxue’s bloodline are really compatible. Unfortunately, Xue’er’s ability is too low. If your soul power enters the Out of Body Realm and you make use of talismans, you can strengthen this Dark Chill Tiger to Grade Four…”

Just taking a look, Zong Shou turned away and continued to choose his route carefully.

He mainly needed to differentiate the scents, and observe the positions of the beasts. Any place with high Grade beasts the other nearby beasts would try their best to avoid, and was really open and easy to identify.

This was his experience from his last life.

——

Not many miles later, they heard human voices ahead. Looking ahead, Zong Shou saw that there were actually a group of people fighting those beasts.

There were only seven or eight of them, but their strength was exceptional.

There were two who were using talismans, they were actually Spirit Cultivation Realm spirit masters. Although they were facing a pack of forty-plus Grade Two Fang Wolves, they were able to handle them easily.

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed and was feeling surprised. Although the Blood Valley was dangerous, it wasn’t truly a place where you wouldn’t see a single person. The beasts and herbs inside were unique to this place, and there would be many who would choose such a period to enter.

Silently shaking his head, Zong Shou couldn’t be bothered about them. Using his Wind Traveling Spiritual Bone, he prepared to go around them.

However just as the two of them passed, someone exclaimed, “Is that Junior Brother Zong Shou?”

Under the disturbance of the beast roars and the noise from the fight, that voice was soft and difficult to pick up. However, the quality of the voice was something Zong Shou’s body was really familiar with and sensitive to. His body stopped by itself instantly.

Turning around in shock, he saw a woman looking over, her smile really bright as she waved in surprise.

Zong Shou frowned slightly, all memories regarding her rising in his mind.

In the next moment he felt his head hurt. He remembered that this woman was called Gong Xinran, she was a senior sister at Linhai College. There wasn’t anything special about her. Not only was her identity normal, her looks were, too. But to the Zong Shou who had already disappeared from the world, she was carved deep within his heart.

She was the only girl who cared for him in the initial year at Linhai College. You could even say that she was one of his emotional pillars at Linhai College.

She left the college to complete her studies, which brought the heartbroken Zong Shou to despair, wasting two years of his life.

That fellow who had already disappeared was truly fickle in love. Spending a short year in Linhai College and falling in love with two girls.

He didn’t want to bother with her, still leaving from the side. However, it was like roots grew from his feet, and he was unable to leave.

Just as Zong Shou was hesitating, the bunch of martial cultivators had wiped out a large portion of those Fang Wolves. Gong Xinran had broken away from them, using talismans to dorm a light wind and fly over.

After confirming it was Zong Shou, she was filled with surprise, “It really is you! Why is Junior Brother here?”

Remembering that Zong Shou couldn’t cultivate, and his soul ocean wasn’t opened either, Gong Xinran judged Zong Shou once more, her willow brows raising. Looking at Chuxue at his side, as well as the Dark Chill Tiger that was close to Grade Four, she relaxed slightly. However her brows were still furrowed. “This Blood Valley is so dangerous. You are the Prince of Gantian Mountain, why are you risking your life here?”

Zong Shou laughed awkwardly. What was happening these few days? Yesterday he bumped into his fiancee, and today he met his past crush.

In his last life and this life he had seen numerous beauties. The looks of this Gong Xinran were decent, but she still made his heart beat. His throat was so dry that he couldn’t say anything.

He suddenly remembered how gentle and warm she was towards him. Thinking back to the concern in her words, he felt really emotional, and his heart was in chaos.
