A Fool Who Dumped Himself
Chapter 92 A Fool Who Dumped Himself
The others also looked helpless, but the truth was indeed as Jiang Yu had said.
"I think we should forget about it. We can't even get across the Gobi Valley. Who knows what dangerous and terrifying things might be inside the ancient ruins? There's no need to risk everything for the unknown," Zujiming suggested.
"You're a coward!" Jiang Shaoxu cursed without any politeness.
She could never forget Zu Jiming's cowardly act of abandoning her without hesitation in Donghai City.
"I'm such a coward! If you have a way, go cross the Gobi Valley. If you can't, then hurry up and leave. Don't waste your time here!" Zu Jiming said irritably.
"No way, I think there must be some good treasures there, maybe even a soul seed or something?" Mo Fan said enticingly.
Everyone's eyes lit up at the mention of Soul Seeds.
Gojo Satoru found it strange that Mo Fan would say such a thing. Wasn't this guy always looking for a profit?
Has something changed during this time?
"Yes, we can detect the intense anomalies in the wind and lightning elements from this far away. Fortunately, this place is sparsely populated, and no other mages have noticed it yet. If we miss this opportunity, we might regret it for the rest of our lives." Jiang Yu also encouraged us to try again.
"Do you think soul seeds are so easy to appear? How naive!" Guan Yu scoffed.
"Actually, the Gobi Valley isn't as difficult as you might imagine. They have no eyes and their senses are extremely dull. They rely entirely on the slightest tremors in the ground to detect the intruders' movements," Nan Jue encouraged.
"Flying is out of the question. There are also some black sun bats on the fault walls on both sides. Even if you fly over from the sky, you will be surrounded by them, let alone fly over from the valley next door. The airspace of demons is the most inviolable territory," Zhao Manyan said, shaking his head.
"I worked through the night two days ago to create an elemental device that can alter the earth's fluctuations. Even if we walk across their territory, we won't wake them. However, the elemental device needs someone to place it, like a tangram puzzle, so that we can walk between two elemental devices..." Nan Jue said.
"Then let's give it a try!"
"Yes, I don't want to miss this opportunity either."
……
The group only stopped when they arrived at the Gobi Valley.
"Alright, what should we do now?" Guan Yu stood before the Gobi Valley with his arms crossed and an arrogant expression. He didn't take another step forward. After entering the Gobi Valley, the geology changed noticeably. It was no longer that dry orange-yellow color, but had a hint of red, and the entire Gobi Valley took on a dark red hue!
They had clearly learned their lesson, so they had no intention of rushing forward.
The ancient city of ruins is located on the other side of this entire raised high-altitude land, an ancient sacred land that is almost isolated from the world and protected by the scorching Longping Mountain. This kind of place, which has never been explored by anyone and is even difficult for demons to enter, is most likely to give birth to treasures of heaven and earth!
"There are only three elemental instruments in total, and they are spaced one hundred meters apart. So we need someone to lay the elemental instruments forward and someone to retrieve them before we can continue," Nan Jue instructed everyone.
As the captain, Ai Jiangtu naturally took the first leg of the baton.
Then everyone got to work, and the instrument that Nan Jue made was obviously quite good.
Although it was a little scary at first, the crisis was almost instantly averted once the equipment was in place.
The rest of the journey was relatively smooth.
"We're almost there. Once we turn that corner, we should be out of this Gobi Valley," Nan Jue said.
"This corner is a bit sharp. It seems difficult to place the elemental device. Someone needs to retrieve the one behind us before we can continue forward," Ai Jiangtu said.
At this moment, Mo Fan spoke up, "Then I'll go get it."
After all, he's the one who came looking for what he needs; everyone else was just lured in, so it's natural for him to be the one to do it.
Moreover, along the way, Nanjue's instruments have proven that there have been no unexpected safety incidents.
"After you finish disassembling, you must come up immediately and not linger for too long," Nan Jue specifically instructed.
"Don't worry. I'm fast too." Mo Fan smiled.
Right after Mo Fan left, Lu Yilin also left, but unfortunately no one noticed.
Even Gojo Satoru noticed that he was at the very front of the group.
The stone walls on both sides trembled violently as countless Forbidden Moon Stone Demons awoke from within them. Though they had no eyes, they locked onto the intruders with their fury.
"Oh no, they've woken up! Run!" Zu Jiming shouted.
"We're stuck! Get to the exit!"
"I'll lead the way, you guys follow!"
The entire Gobi Valley suddenly shook violently, and one after another, the Forbidden Moon Stone Demons, composed of rock bodies, rushed out from the stone walls, blocking everyone's path like a giant gate.
The magical light shone brilliantly in the valley. Knowing that something terrible was about to happen, everyone dared not hold back and hurriedly used all their strength to rush towards the exit.
Wu Tiao Wu suddenly realized that there was one less person in the team, and he felt a little lost.
Lu Yilin harbored murderous intent towards Mo Fan over such a trivial matter?
Without even a second to think, the next moment, Wutiao Wu's aura burst forth, wielding the Breaking Army and charging straight in the opposite direction.
Faced with Gojo Satoru unleashing his full power, the Forbidden Moon Stone Demons were no match for him, and in a short time, a whole group of Forbidden Moon Stone Demons fell.
Suddenly, Gojo noticed Lu Yilin running out in a panic and used spatial magic to pull him over.
"Where is Mo Fan?" Gojo Satoru asked Lu Yilin in a chilling tone.
"I don't know," Lu Yilin stubbornly refused to admit it.
Seeing this, Gojo Satoru completely lost the will to continue asking questions and turned to charge inside.
Black-red and pale blue orbs of light continuously condensed from his palm. Gojo Satoru had already begun to take things seriously.
After an explosion, Gojo Satoru charged back to the corner as if he had entered an empty field.
Mo Fan was engulfed in flames as he fought the Forbidden Moon Stone Demon. Although he was not dead yet, his injuries were quite severe.
Gojo Satoru's expression was cold. He raised his hand and unleashed seven or eight spatial slashes, instantly killing the Forbidden Moon Stone Demons surrounding Mo Fan.
Then, with a pull from the void, Mo Fan, who was covered in injuries, was brought over. Then, milky white light flashed on Mo Fan's body, and his injuries were rapidly healed.
Gojo Satoru grabbed Mo Fan's shoulder and used Instant Transmission to dash outside.
The next moment, Gojo Satoru emerged from the ripples in space, carrying Mo Fan.
He casually tossed Mo Fan aside and took out some snacks to watch the fun.
Zhao Manyan and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Mo Fan was still alive.
Lu Yilin's face had already turned deathly pale.
"Mo Fan, what exactly happened?" Zhao Manyan asked immediately.
Upon hearing Zhao Manyan mention this matter, Mo Fan's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared intently at Lu Yilin, who was already showing signs of unease.
"Hmph, I want to kill someone, you'd better not stop me." Mo Fan, who had been healed, slowly got up and walked to Lu Yilin.
Lu Yilin had already started backing away. He never expected that Mo Fan would be able to walk out alive, and his pale expression betrayed him.
Whether he admits it or not, no one is stupid.
Mo Fan was probably the last to clean up the equipment, and you, Lu Yilin, were the last to come out. Who could have guessed what had happened?
It would be one thing if the dead couldn't testify, but the person in question is still alive. Only he could do something so stupid.
"Without any evidence, why do you say it was me? Just because of his words!" Lu Yilin looked like he would never admit it.
Now, they seem like completely different people.
To be honest, he's right. There's no evidence, so why are you saying I'm harming you?
However, when you encounter someone like Mo Fan, revenge is always immediate!
Forget about evidence, you had murderous intent towards me. I didn't die, so you must die!
The next moment, Mo Fan made his move.
He is also very decisive!
Upon witnessing this scene, Zu Jiming and Li Kaifeng, who had a good relationship with Lu Yilin, decided to step in to help.
Gojo Satoru raised his eyes, his gaze overwhelming the group, and said casually, "Mind your own business, or don't blame me for sending you all to your deaths!"
"Gotsu, infighting is strictly prohibited within the team!" Ai Jiangtu said sternly, trying to stop them.
"He wronged me once, so I'll throw him in here once. Anyone who tries to save him is my enemy, and I don't mind sending them in with me," Mo Fan said angrily.
Under pressure from all sides, the only option left for everyone was to remain indifferent.
Not long after, Lu Yilin's heart-wrenching screams echoed from inside the valley. It was unclear whether his legs had been smashed or his chest had been flattened, but given Lu Yilin's strength, there was absolutely no way he could have survived alone in the Gobi Valley.
After this little incident, the group traveled further and further, and the terrain became flatter.
