Chapter 353: The little girl may be in danger!
Therefore, Qiu Qinglu thought that this mortal would probably die in this mountain range.
But not necessarily.
Because there seems to be a particularly mysterious and powerful expert in this area, but it's hard to say whether that person will see this mortal in trouble and help him.
They can even shoot holy-grade arrows and not retrieve them, their wealth is unimaginable.
"May I ask what the lady's name is?"
These words startled Qiu Qinglu.
This man didn't seem afraid at all. He had just been tense, seemingly genuinely worried about the monster threatening his life, but now he seemed so relaxed and carefree, as if he had gained confidence. He even asked her name, as if knowing her name would guarantee his survival in this mountain of ancient crocodiles.
"Hey!"
Seeing her blank expression, Gu Heng raised his voice slightly, "Heroine, since we've met again, it must be fate. Since it's fate, I think it's quite appropriate for us to learn each other's names. What do you think?"
What he said doesn't seem wrong, does it?
Never mind, it's just giving my name.
"Qiu Qinglu".
If the other party is also a cultivator, she will naturally mention the position of "Enforcement Hall Instructor of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect".
But since she's just a mortal, there's no need for that. He probably doesn't really understand the significance of her position; at most, he only knows the name of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect.
Anyway, as he said, it was fate, but that's all the fate we have left. Qiu Qinglu couldn't stay here and watch over his safety; she needed to quickly rejoin her team and find the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect's group. Otherwise, being adrift like this was actually dangerous for her.
In front of that Stone Vein Demon King, a sixth-level Integration Stage cultivator was nothing more than a small fry. Even when several Mahayana Stage cultivators attacked it, they were defeated and forced to retreat. Qiu Qinglu did not want to become a monster's meal because she was alone.
"What a lovely name, heroine. My name is Gu Heng, and I just run a clinic."
Gu Heng smiled.
"...Wait, isn't there a young girl with you?"
Qiu Qinglu nodded silently, then remembered that there was a seemingly timid Nascent Soul stage girl next to him just now.
"Oh, she went ahead. That girl is very impatient and can't wait for me."
Gu Heng pointed to the spire of the ancient secret palace. "What—oh well, never mind."
Qiu Qinglu's eyes widened even more.
A lone Nascent Soul cultivator, accompanied by a mortal, dared to venture deep into the Ancient Crocodile Mountain Range. This alone was astonishing enough, but what was even more astonishing was that her target was the Primordial Secret Palace.
Should we say that the younger generation is formidable? Because Qiu Qinglu felt that such behavior was tantamount to courting death. That was a secret realm left behind by immortals, and no one knew how many heavyweight "traps" inside had not yet been triggered.
First, everyone's spiritual senses were blocked, so no one could detect the attack of the demonic beasts. Then, in the ancient crocodile mountain range, which had been thoroughly searched and was free of any demonic beasts, a demonic beast king suddenly appeared.
Qiu Qinglu is not the kind of person who makes wild guesses.
But she felt that the spiritual shielding and the monster attacks were all caused by the Primordial Secret Palace! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
"They really aren't afraid of death..."
Qiu Qinglu rubbed her forehead.
The danger level of that ancient secret palace is unimaginable now. If a Nascent Soul cultivator can enter it, they are considered lucky. If there are any traps inside, a Nascent Soul cultivator will definitely have no way to escape.
After all, this is a secret realm of immortals.
Even a Saint-level cultivator must be extremely cautious in the face of the methods of immortals, or they may suffer a heavy price if they are not careful!
"Miss Qiu, are these mountains really that dangerous?"
Gu Heng swallowed hard and asked tentatively.
Not right.
The female cultivator seemed worried about his and Qin Yiyao's lives. Could it be that there was actually danger lurking everywhere here?
“Of course, I have no reason to lie to you.” Qiu Qinglu rolled her eyes.
Why is he still so skeptical? Does he really have to witness the Stone Vein Demon Emperor wreaking havoc with his own eyes? If that happens, it will be too late!
"How could this be? Was everything she said wrong?"
Before coming, Gu Heng had asked around and found out that Sect Leader Jiang had clearly stated that this place was "not dangerous" for mortals.
Or……
Gu Heng's heart skipped a beat.
It’s over.
Jiang Lingyun probably thought that cultivators wouldn't let mortals get close to such a dangerous place, so if they didn't get close, it meant there was no danger, right?
The woman surnamed Qiu actually warned him and Qin Yiyao when she saw them, telling them to leave immediately.
However, Gu Heng didn't listen. Perhaps the other mortals who entered this mountain range were also persuaded to leave; after all, cultivators had no reason to deceive mortals, right? If the cultivators told them to leave, they should leave quickly; staying might cost them their lives.
But Gu Heng didn't, because he felt there was no danger here... because Gu Heng was confident. Although he was a mortal, he had a "temporary experience ticket" given by the system, which allowed him to become the strongest in the world within a quarter of an hour.
Therefore, Gu Heng wasn't too scared. If he really encountered a monster, he would use the experience voucher to max out the tenth level of the Saintly Realm and kill whatever came his way!
But he deliberately separated Qin Yiyao from him!
That girl might be able to handle wild beasts, but what if she encounters a demon beast?!
And I'm not even there for you!
"Oops!"
Without a second thought, Gu Heng ran straight towards the Ancient Secret Palace. His sudden urgency startled Qiu Qinglu, who quickly grabbed him. "Where are you going? I told you there might be monsters everywhere in the mountains right now. If you keep running around like this, no one will be able to save you later!"
"No, that girl is in danger!"
Gu Heng shook her off.
This made Qiu Qinglu both angry and amused. She had told the two of them to get out of the mountain quickly, but they didn't listen. Now they're in a hurry, but it's too late!
If that girl hadn't been captured by the monsters on the way, she might have faced great danger even after entering the Ancient Secret Palace. What could a mere mortal like him possibly do there?
Qiu Qinglu probably understood Gu Heng's attitude.
That girl must be the daughter of some noble family in the Sun Flame Dynasty. Gu Heng must be a servant. His master abandoned him and ran inside. Now that he knows there are many dangers in the mountains, how could he not be anxious?
Qiu Qinglu pulled him back again.
"If you stay here obediently, you might still have a chance to live!" Gu Heng was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"On my way here, I saw a demon spirit being killed. That beast wasn't far from you at all; it should have smelled your scent long ago. But you're still alive because it was killed by some powerful being!"
Qiu Qinglu said seriously, "By staying in this area, you are at least within the protection zone of that powerful figure."
"If you leave, you'll really be eaten, you understand?"
