Chapter 857: Valley of Nine Deaths

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Xu Fan looked at his daughter Tongtong, who was so attached to him, and his heart also couldn’t bear to part with her.

But he had no choice but to do so, a brief separation was for their better protection and guardianship.

Only with greater strength could he provide them with a more stable life.

Tongtong still reluctantly hugged Xu Fan’s arm, pouting her lips and said, “Tongtong is very good and won’t cause any trouble for daddy.

Can I just quietly stay by daddy’s side?”

Xu Fan’s heart was completely melted by Tongtong’s charms.

At this moment, Xu Yixue also bent down, looked at Tongtong, and said affectionately, “Tongtong, be good, stay at home with mommy and wait for daddy to come back, okay?”

Xu Fan hugged Tongtong and affectionately scraped his chin against Tongtong’s little head as he said, “Tongtong, while you’re at home, help daddy protect mommy, okay?”

Tongtong sighed like a little adult and said, “Alright then, Tongtong will stay at home and help daddy protect mommy.

But daddy must come back early, promise?”

Xu Fan held Tongtong’s little hands and placed them on his chest.

Gently and seriously, he said, “As you command, my little princess.”

Tongtong’s face instantly blossomed into a smile.

Xu Fan sighed to himself, feeling both warm and helpless.

Xu Fan continued to feed Tongtong with a spoon, bringing the congee to her mouth.

“Good girl, Tongtong, ahh…”

“Aoow~” Tongtong opened her mouth wide and finished the congee on the spoon in one gulp.

After finishing breakfast with Tongtong, Xu Fan made a call to the Dragon Group to request a supersonic plane.

He planned to first reach Wulu City and then fly to the Valley of Nine Deaths to save time.

After all, his little princess was waiting at home for him to return.

The staff at the Dragon Group immediately contacted the military upon receiving the order, and the troops responded that a helicopter would be ready in half an hour; Xu Fan could use it as soon as he got to the airport.

Now, with Xu Fan’s rank, not to mention commanding a single military transport aircraft, even ten at once would be no problem.

After receiving the reply, Xu Fan immediately arranged for Xu Dan to lead a team of security guards to protect his family.

Outside the gate of the Oriental Famous City villa.

Tongtong, nestled in Xu Yixue’s arms, waved her little hands at Xu Fan, saying with reluctance, “Daddy must come back early, Tongtong will be good and wait at home for daddy.”

“Okay, daddy will come back early.”

Xu Fan turned back and gave Tongtong a doting smile before getting into the Audi A6 and driving away.

Tongtong watched eagerly as Xu Fan’s car disappeared from view, then snuggled into Xu Yixue’s arms, feeling a bit downcast.

Xu Yixue smiled helplessly and took Tongtong back into the villa.

This little one was really too attached to Xu Fan, and Xu Yixue was even a bit jealous.

Twenty minutes later.

Xu Fan arrived at the airport and, after confirming his identity, boarded the supersonic helicopter that was already waiting on the lawn, headed for Wulu City in the northwest.

By noon, the supersonic Xu Fan was riding on landed at the airport.

Xu Fan found a secluded corner, cast a spell of concealment, and took to the skies, flying straight toward the Valley of Nine Deaths.

Soon, Xu Fan reached above the Valley of Nine Deaths.

The Valley of Nine Deaths, as the name suggests, was a place where one had a slim chance of survival.

This place is perpetually shrouded with a toxic gas that seems like concentrated sulfuric acid, and to enter the valley, there is only a narrow crevice, which is very long and extends over ten kilometers.

If an ordinary person or animal wanders in by accident, within ten minutes, they will bleed from every orifice and die.

Around the Valley of Nine Deaths, military personnel have set up a blockade to prevent tourists from accidentally venturing in.

Xu Fan floated a dozen meters above the Valley of Nine Deaths, having already extended his Divine Sense to scout the situation within the valley.

However, the results were not as desired; the yellow miasma in the air blocked most of his Divine Sense, causing it to enter very slowly.

It was like walking through a marsh, you could move, but only slowly.

Xu Fan estimated that if he wanted his Divine Sense to penetrate the Valley of Nine Deaths, it would take at least twenty minutes to reach the deep interior of the valley.

But what Xu Fan lacked most now was time, so he prepared to go in directly.

Although Xu Fan was very confident in his strength, now that he had bonds, he became much more cautious when facing the unknown than before.

Before entering, Xu Fan called upon all his True Qi to form a protective barrier around his body, and then he leaped into the valley.

After entering the Valley of Nine Deaths, Xu Fan clearly felt that surrounded by the yellow miasma, his True Qi became viscous, and the speed at which he circulated his True Qi drastically slowed down.

Xu Fan merely furrowed his brow and then circulated the Primal Indestructible Skill throughout his body.

His True Qi immediately returned to its previous circulation speed, and even become a bit faster.

At this moment, Xu Fan’s body faintly radiated a soft luminescence.

Wherever he went, the yellow miasma seemed to have its own will, actively receding and clearing a five-meter vacuum zone.

To a place so dangerous for ordinary people, Xu Fan walked with his hands behind his back, as if he were strolling leisurely in his own backyard garden.

Xu Fan followed the address on the sheepskin scroll and rushed towards the direction of the Crimson Profound Fruit.

He effortlessly dealt with a few low-level demonic beasts that were not wise enough to stay out of his way.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Fan appeared in the center of the Valley of Nine Deaths.

Now, Xu Fan could feel the hot air hitting his face, his mouth curling up slightly; there was no doubt this was the Crimson Profound Fruit.

This violent aura was unmistakable, and next to it was an even more violent and fierce presence, naturally the Vermilion Bird.

Xu Fan increased his speed, and a lingering afterimage flashed through the air; he quickly arrived within ten meters of the Crimson Profound Fruit.

A circular platform abruptly rose up before Xu Fan.

Atop the platform stood a black tree, strange in shape, utterly dark, with only one branch that bore a fiery red, radiantly glowing fruit.

Xu Fan knew that the tree hadn’t been scorched dark but had turned this way due to enduring the intense energy of the Crimson Profound Fruit.

Initially, the Crimson Profound Fruit tree was lush, but after bearing the Crimson Profound Fruit, the fruit absorbed all the tree’s nutrients into itself.

As a result, the Crimson Profound Fruit tree now appeared pitifully with just a single branch.

The yellow miasma didn’t dare to come close to this area; around the Crimson Profound Fruit tree, a one-kilometer radius was in a vacuum state.

“Bang!”

A loud explosion suddenly resounded in the sky.

Following that, the sky blazed red, looking from afar like a sunset cloud, but it was actually flames spat out by the Vermilion Bird.

The sky above the Valley of Nine Deaths turned a fiery red, and the temperature within the valley tens of degrees in an instant.

Then, it seemed as if the valley itself started to tremble, and all the creatures within began to towards the periphery.
