Chapter 585: Everyone Is Different
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
"The last two times we entered another continent we encountered some trouble. The first time was when Lan sent us through that dimensional tunnel and we got diverted, and the second time was our journey through the Enchanted Sea which took a long time.
"This time, we do not have to spend a lot of time crossing the sea. If you look at the map, the tip of this and the Dongfang Continent are very close to one another. We should be able to cross it in a day or two, but the biggest problem will be to enter the no-man's land and reach the sea."
Bai Tianyi had made a copy of the map Lan had shown them earlier, and spread it out on the ground in front of them. Each corner was held down by a heavy stone, and he began pointing at the narrow strait between the two continents.
The strait was narrow, it was not likely to contain much danger, but to reach this location, one had to cross the no-man's land, and the danger threatening them there was not ordinary.
"Are there any other ways?"
Xue Wei was not going to be arrogant and assume that they could easily handle the dangers lurking within this hostile and untouched zone, but he was also not willing to waste too much time to bypass it.
"No." Bai Tianyi shook his head with regret. "While we could, in theory, take another route, it is not a question about a few weeks or months more. Instead, we would likely have to spend a year or more traveling to reach the Dongfang Continent by this other route."
Xue Wei furrowed his brows as he looked at the simple map in front of him. It was made quickly, and it only showed the different zones and where the land met the sea. There was no detailed explanation of what environments one would encounter when inside the no-man's land, so everything would have to depend on luck.
While Xue Wei was very well aware that his luck was rather good, he still did not like to fully depend on such things to survive, as he could not control it at all.
It was always best to improve his own strength. He preferred to have his fate in his own hands.
"The no-man's land is dangerous, so we have to prepare as much as possible before we enter. I am going to integrate with the Black Turtle Bloodline, but due to our current situation, there is no suitable location to do so.
"I will need you all to protect me while I try and stimulate the bloodline in my body, and don't let anyone attack me.
"If I manage to succeed, then I will use my blood to have Hei Gou attempt another mutation. During this time, the rest of you should also take turns between cultivating and guarding."
Xue Wei quickly decided on how to move forward for now. Although they would be somewhat delayed with their entrance into the no-man's land, it would bring them more security and a higher chance for survival.
Bai Tianyi, Luoluo, Hei Gou, and Ling Xiao naturally did not object to his decision. First of all, they were very curious as to how he would look as a black turtle, but they were also very intrigued as to what changes another mutation would give Hei Gou.
Luoluo was the first to settle down. She was, in fact, an ancient monster, but looking at her youthful and happy gaze, one would assume that she was a young woman who was traveling the world for excitement.
The way she simply sat down on the ground and crossed her legs before focusing on her breathing and cultivation. Luoluo was very focused on cultivation, as she feared her past returning, and once more being imprisoned and used as a battery for others to benefit.
Only by becoming stronger would she be able to protect herself and her dear ones, so she would never take her cultivation lightly.
Contrary to Luoluo's focused attention, Ling Xiao could not help but smile flippantly and lean against a tree trunk.
"I guess I will take care of the first watch. I don't feel like cultivating right now, so it is just right for me to observe the surroundings and drink some wine while you guys are busy training."
Ling Xiao had been forced too much at a younger age, and the Diviners put far too much pressure on him and their wish for him to cultivate.
Now, he was cultivating from time to time, but most of the time, he would rather relax and adjust his mentality.
The interesting thing about Ling Xiao was that if he had enough time to relax, then his cultivation speed would soar and become almost inhuman when he finally sat down to absorb energy; while, if he was forced to cultivate continuously, the speed of which he absorbed and refined Qi was constantly getting slower and slower.
Everyone had their own special way of cultivating, and their group was able to keep open and not interfere with one another. This was one of the reasons that they managed so well together and that none of them expected the others to be the same as themselves, but understanding that they were individuals who were able to find their own paths.
Xue Wei looked at his good friends as they gathered around him. Luoluo, Bai Tianyi, and Hei Gou were cultivating at first, and Ling Xiao was on watch-duty, but even so, the three others had gathered around Xue Wei in order to protect him, if anything should happen.
