Chapter 571 Landing
"I will definitely help you." Lao Xiaokai seemed to be convinced. He asked, "Are we going to look for magic weapons now? Cangwu Wilderness is a very strange place."

"What's so weird?" Li Chuan asked.

"I've been there three times. Once I went with my master when I was very young. The second time was after I came out of the Divine Hero Temple. Some medicinal herbs were only available there, so I had to go. That was more than ten years ago." Lao Xiaokai recalled: "The half-demon tribe regards the Cangwu Wilderness as their own territory, so they are hostile to everyone who enters the Cangwu Wilderness. They dare not speak out against the words of the cultivators, but they don't hide their anger for ordinary people, like me."

"At that time, I was only thinking about collecting herbs and processing them as quickly as possible. For example, if there is no suitable container for the Xunhua plant, it will rot in less than a quarter of an hour after it is collected, and the medicinal properties will be completely gone. So it must be processed immediately. Therefore, I hid from the half-demon and basically moved at night. During the day, I would find a cave to hide and try not to leave any traces."

"So I spent many nights in the Cangwu wilderness."

"One night, I heard the sound of wind blowing from underground. I turned around and saw heads rising from the dark ground. They were huge heads of animals. They seemed to be trapped in a dark and sticky swamp, constantly rising up and falling down."

"Then, I felt something grabbing my feet and pulling me down desperately. I looked down and saw a small black claw. There were holes of different sizes on the ground, and there was a very hollow sound rubbing back and forth in those holes. It was like the sound of hell."

"I knew I had no other options, so I used the French method, and then I felt a warmth protecting me. I didn't dare to open my eyes, look or listen. I don't know how long it took, but when I woke up again, it was already daybreak."

"Then what?" Li Chuan asked.

Lao laughed and said, "What happened next? I collected all the herbs and ran away. When I got back, I found a black mark on my toe, like the claw of some animal. Then I fell seriously ill."

"Didn't you say it three times? Why did you come later?" Li Chuan asked.

"It was to collect herbs. Five or six years ago, I went with a few demon hunters. Apart from being targeted by a half-demon, I didn't encounter any weird things." Lao Xiaokai answered. He said, "But sometimes, occasionally, I seem to be able to hear the sound of wind blowing through the ground."

Li Chuan nodded, flipped through the book in his hand, and said, "I'll go take a look in the front, don't run around."

"No, how dare I," Lao Xiaokai looked at Gong Er and Pang San who were not far away and said, "They are staring at me so closely, where can I run away?"

"Really?" Li Chuan asked.

Lao Xiaokai smiled awkwardly and said, "You go and do your thing. I'll sit here for a while."

So Li Chuan ignored Lao Xiaokai, put away his book, stood up, and walked to the tea room in front. Wen Guying and Jiang Mei were standing by the table, on which was a Yuanhuo mirror, with clouds and mist in the mirror.

Li Chuan walked over, took a look and said, "Lao Xiaokai came to me just now and told me what happened to him in Cangwu Wilderness."

"I heard it." Wen Guying said.

"Do you think what he said is true or false?" Li Chuan asked.

"He didn't have to lie about this, but it may not be the truth," Wen Guying raised his head and said, "Many plants growing in the Cangwu wilderness, such as Xunhua, have hallucinogenic effects. He might have been infected when he was picking herbs."

"Do you think it's an illusion?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying replied: "One possibility. It could also be the ancient monsters buried in the Cangwu Wilderness. Their residual souls are still howling unwillingly after tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years. It could also be both." "No matter which one it is... let's talk about it when we encounter it." Wen Guying said: "I have been to the Cangwu Wilderness several times."

Li Chuan knew that Wen Guying was always confident, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, he said the ghost howling stopped for about thirty-five or six breaths."

"Gu Ying and I have just discussed this." Jiang Mei said, "There are two possibilities. One is that the power of the demon spirit dissipates slowly inside the prison, and the other is that she has used some means to change the speed of time inside the prison. In any case, thirty-five or six breaths are enough for her to do many things."

"Do you want to go back and tell Master Wang?" Li Chuan asked.

Jiang Mei said: "I have sent this message back through the Abyssal Fire Mirror."

"Oh oh." Li Chuan then remembered that the Yuanhuo Mirror had this function.

"Gong Wuguang has also left." Wen Guying looked outside. "Lao Xiaokai is right about one thing. The half-demon tribe is very closed, and the Feather Tribe is the tribe that has the most exchanges with the outside world. After he left the Four Gods Palace, he may have visited the Tianyu Sect, Xuanyue Sect, and some other sects, but he didn't get the results he wanted. So when we go this time, his attitude may be different from before."

"However, Junior Brother Tian is farming there, so he might know something, at least he might know if anything strange has happened in the Cangwu wilderness in the past few months."

Li Chuan said: "His attitude is bad, so let's be better. He has his own problems to solve, and we have our own problems to solve. Let's help each other and solve them. Then our attitudes will be better."

"Indeed." Wen Guying said, "But it doesn't matter if the attitude has changed. It just takes us more time to find the way back."

"Yes, yes." Li Chuan agreed.

"In two days, we will reach Cangwu Plain. You should have a good rest and don't overwork yourself." Wen Guying reminded.

"Ah," Li Chuan sighed and said, "That Lao Xiaokai is here, and I feel like it's inconvenient to talk."

"It's okay, there's no need to avoid him." Wen Guying said, "If you give him some information occasionally, he might take some action. He's a member of the Divine Hero Sect, and who knows, he might end up on our side."

"I always feel that the fact that Ban Yao and his master got to know each other and became friends of life and death was a bit deliberate," said Li Chuan.

"You'll know it eventually." Wen Guying said.

Two days later, Li Chuan leaned on the side of the boat and looked down. A green scene came into his eyes. At the end of the green were several snow-capped mountains. There were many birds, goshawks, rainbow pheasants, snow finches, and many others that Li Chuan could not name. The crisp bird calls came in waves.

The immortal boat began to descend.

After stepping out of the fairy boat, he felt that he was surrounded by greenery. The wind blew up green waves and brought bursts of green grass fragrance.

"That's the Feather Tribe." Jiang Mei pointed forward. Li Chuan looked over there and saw some low white buildings.
