Chapter 318 Aboriginal
Outside the cave where Jin Ling'er was staying, Zhang Chi moved a huge rock to block the entrance and set up a concealed and guarded formation.
If anything happened here, he could immediately rush back.
Gu Youyou also wanted to train Zhang Chi, so she let him handle the exploration on his own this time, focusing all her attention on Jin Ling'er.
With her watching over, Jin Ling'er was basically safe.
The concealed formations and the huge rock were actually just for show, to make Jin Ling'er believe that there was protection and defense in place. Otherwise, if Jin Ling'er woke up and found that there was no one to protect her and no defensive measures, she might suspect that Zhang Chi had secretly abandoned her.
Leaving the cave and without Gu Youyou's help, Zhang Chi was very nervous.
Last time they entered the Secret Realm, he relied on luck because there were many people and it seemed like luck was on their side.
But this time was different. The person in the black robe was willing to sacrifice himself to bring them to this place. It couldn't be just a stroke of luck.
This place must be very dangerous, most likely the kind of place they couldn't leave once they entered.
Simply hiding and avoiding was not an option. Although Zhang Chi was often cowardly and timid, he was not always weak and afraid of trouble.
When it was time to take action, even if the outside was dangerous, he would not hide in the safe zone and wait for death.
At this moment, Zhang Chi had already changed into a set of yellow and white camouflage clothing, which he applied on the spot.
The gold attribute of this Secret Realm was too strong, so there were no plants around, only exposed copper and gold mines on the surface.
In such a barren land, if he wanted to conceal his tracks, he could only change his clothes.
Fortunately, Zhang Chi often prepared various methods to deal with crisis environments, and he also put some dyes in his storage ring. It was convenient to use them to make camouflage clothing on the spot.
After putting it on, he used the White Tiger Aura Concealing Technique, which greatly increased his sense of security.
It was just a pity that while the Tiger's Resting Breath was meant to not disturb its prey, Zhang Chi's breath seemed sneaky.
However, although the posture was not very handsome, it was steady.
Zhang Chi advanced ten kilometers, during which he also discovered hidden beasts in the caves or rocks disguised as animals, and saw some spirit herbs that only grew in environments with a strong gold attribute.
Although Zhang Chi didn't recognize what kind of herbs they were, he felt that those growing here must be extraordinary, so he picked a few.
Ten kilometers was also the maximum distance Gu Youyou could guarantee Jin Ling'er's safety. In other words, if Jin Ling'er encountered an attack now, Gu Youyou could rush back to save her.
But going further would be a bit risky.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Chi stopped advancing and instead began exploring in a circular path centered around Jin Ling'er's location.
After completing a week of exploration, Zhang Chi could return to meet Jin Ling'er and then explore another area.
Although this method of exploring the map would be slower, it could ensure Jin Ling'er's safety.
The place they arrived at seemed to be a pure wasteland, and when they looked into the distance, all they could see was a vast expanse of white, with light reflecting everywhere, making it difficult to see clearly.
It was a pity that Cai Yu couldn't come in with them this time.
Otherwise, there would be no need to entrust this kind of exploration to him.
Zhang Chi was missing Cai Yu in his heart when Gu Youyou suddenly reminded him, "Be careful, there are people three kilometers to your left front. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"I'm here, can't you see me? Just broadcast it to me."
Zhang Chi flatly expressed his unwillingness to take the risk.
Three kilometers was already within the sensing range of an ordinary Divine Soul cultivator.
However, it was not easy to see things three kilometers away with the naked eye, except for those who specialized in using Divine Ability secret techniques or had extraordinary innate abilities.
And Zhang Chi, wearing camouflage clothing, hiding behind a rock three kilometers away, was definitely safe.
When he returned, he would have time to make a telescope and learn lip reading. Even without Gu Youyou in the future, he could still be as sneaky as he was now.
Gu Youyou had also gotten used to Zhang Chi's cowardice and couldn't be bothered to comment on it.
She took control of Zhang Chi's body, and magic power surged in his eyes. Zhang Chi's pupils instantly turned purple.
Everything in front of her became clear, her vision penetrating through all obstacles.
Her ears began to listen to distant sounds.
Isn't this also the ability of clairvoyance and clairaudience?
Feeling these changes, Zhang Chi suddenly realized that Gu Youyou was quite proud.
Perhaps she thought he admired Cai Yu's abilities too much, so she deliberately showed off?
Their secret competition was kind of cute, so Zhang Chi didn't expose her.
In his field of vision, two opposing forces appeared, one chasing the other.
The one being chased was an old man of considerable age, protecting a young girl with an injured abdomen.
The classic hero saving the beauty scene appeared.
Unfortunately, Zhang Chi had no intention of going to the rescue.
The situation was unclear now, and it would be very unwise to suddenly appear in the sight of strangers.
Gu Youyou also noticed the opponent's physique.
A golden spirit body, passable, worth investigating, but not necessary.
If it were before encountering Jin Ling'er, Gu Youyou might have had some thoughts. Although Zhang Chi had a golden attribute spiritual root, he did not have a single attribute spirit body, which would be beneficial for Cai Cai's body.
But with the Innate Golden Spirit Sacred Body, she didn't even care about this.
After seeing the person being chased, Gu Youyou looked at the pursuers.
This look was extraordinary. All six pursuers had golden spirit bodies.
Zhang Chi's voice timely rang in her mind: "They are most likely locals."
"..." Gu Youyou agreed with Zhang Chi's analysis, but still felt it was a bit exaggerated.
The natives of the Secret Realm refer to the creatures that were born and raised in the Secret Realm, including humans.
And the Secret Realm itself is just a world created by ancient cultivators. Even after the cultivators die, the Secret Realm still exists, but its power will continue to diminish.
According to common sense, the stronger the cultivator was in their lifetime, the more intact and valuable their Secret Realm would be after death.
Some Secret Realms, when entered, are nothing but ruins, while the most common ones still retain some immortal residences, which were the cultivators' dwellings during their lifetime.
Being able to leave behind some spirit medicine and spiritual herbs in the Secret Realm is already considered very powerful.
The top-tier Secret Realms are those that can still preserve some beast-type creatures.
And now, in this Secret Realm, there are people, and these people can still cultivate.
This is simply unbelievable.
The energy of the Secret Realm should be constantly dissipating, and the more the cultivators cultivate, the greater the consumption. According to common sense, the path of cultivation should be cut off from generation to generation, and it would be difficult to give birth to spiritual roots, let alone single attribute spiritual roots.
However, the reality is right in front of them. Not only is there no decline, but the spiritual energy here is also abundant.
Gu Youyou couldn't help but be extremely shocked.
How powerful must the cultivation of the person who left this Secret Realm have been in their lifetime?
Could this really be a place left behind by immortal gods?
Gu Youyou's thoughts instantly went wild, and the more she thought about it, the farther she went. If there were truly immortals, why would they also pass away?
If immortals can die, then what is the meaning of seeking immortality and the path of cultivation?
Gu Youyou became a little confused for a moment, but with Zhang Chi's reminder, she forcibly withdrew her wandering thoughts and focused on the battle several kilometers away... (End of this chapter)
