Chapter 684 Leaving the Forest of Death
He still had skin color, wasn't he? It was white, but not snow-white; it was grayish-white, which was somewhat similar to the skeleton people from before.
He cut his own hair with a sword, so it wasn't aesthetically pleasing; instead, it was a mess that covered most of his face.
He had been bound there for so long and locked up by the Taiyin Xuan Iron, which had already damaged his bones and muscles.
The reason he was still able to stand was because Mu Jinning used her life force to clear the blockage for him.
"Junior Sister, who...who is he?"
How scary!
Zhong Ran shrugged: "I don't know either."
She genuinely didn't know who the old man was or what his identity was, and she had no interest in asking.
"Come on, let's get out of here."
Lin Ziyue quickly responded, glanced at the old man discreetly, and then darted to Cui Jingyun's side.
Cui Jingyun also looked at the old man with curiosity. He had no aura and instead appeared very weak.
However, Zhong Ran had only been with two people before, and there was no one else.
They arrived first and entered the cave on the other side.
He had previously used his divine sense to probe the area and found it was full of bats, so he didn't dare go in.
Could it be that this old man was imprisoned there and then rescued by Zhong Ran and the others?
Judging from the old man's appearance, it's hard to imagine how many years he's been imprisoned.
But no matter how many years it has been, the fact that this old man was deliberately imprisoned here indicates that he is no ordinary person.
Once such a senior figure recovers from his injuries, he will undoubtedly become a powerful figure.
Zhong Ran used the power of the wind to roll up the old man and carry him outside.
Lin Ziyue and Cui Jingyun followed behind and quickly caught up.
She knew all too well how fast Zhong Ran and her companion were moving.
"Senior, you should know where the exit is, right?"
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning held hands, looking quite relaxed and leisurely.
But they were surprisingly fast; if it weren't for waiting for Lin Ziyue and the other person, she would have been even faster.
Since the old man said that he set up the formation here, he must know where the exit is.
"Southeast," the old man replied in a muffled voice.
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning exchanged a glance and stopped to determine the direction.
Having been here for so long, they really couldn't even tell which way was which.
It was all gray and gloomy inside, and the sun couldn't shine in, so you couldn't tell which way was which.
Her original plan was to just walk in any direction until she found a way out.
No matter which direction she goes, as long as she finds the boundary, she will definitely be able to get out.
The old man's deep, muffled voice continued, "Over here."
He pointed in a direction: "This direction is the closest right now."
"Oh."
Hearing him say that recently, Zhong Ran still listened to his advice.
The two changed direction, and as they walked, she asked, "Is it much farther this way?"
There should be a swamp over there.
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning exchanged a glance; neither of them had ever gone that way.
However, there's nothing good there anymore, so there's no need to make a special trip over there.
Unbeknownst to her, the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief because they had changed direction.
Cui Jingyun and Lin Ziyue followed behind without saying much.
Lin Ziyue felt both fear and disgust towards the old man, and didn't want to look at him even once.
Cui Jingyun, however, was curious and kept guessing the old man's identity.
Hearing their conversation, he had a strange feeling that this old man might be a formation master.
Judging from his tone, he seems quite familiar with this place? Or is it simply because his divine sense is powerful enough to see further?
Even powerful figures who come in from outside, including those seniors, will be affected here, and their divine senses will not be able to penetrate very far.
But the old man said he knew which direction was closer to go out.
The group was moving very fast, and the old man was completely swept away by Zhong Ran's wind magic.
The old man also gave them directions from time to time. After traveling for three days, they finally saw the formation.
The old man pointed them out, and they quickly found the exit and went out.
The moment the sunlight fell, all five of them looked up at the sky at the same time.
It seems like it's been a long time.
Especially the old man, who had been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years and had long forgotten what sunlight looked like.
Although he couldn't see it, the feeling of the sunlight falling on him was truly comfortable.
Zhong Ran looked around; it wasn't the direction they had entered from.
"Senior brothers and sisters, you've already come out, so we won't be staying together anymore. Goodbye for now."
Zhong Ran said goodbye to Lin Ziyue and the other person, and then prepared to take them away.
Cui Jingyun quickly said, "Senior Sister Zhong, the nearest city should be Tianluo City. My Cui family has a branch in the city. This senior seems to need to rest first, right?"
He had a vague guess that this old man must be a very powerful figure.
Such an important person is now down on his luck. If they can help him, he will surely repay them once he recovers.
Zhong Ran looked at the old man and suddenly had an idea: "Senior, look, I've kept my promise and brought you out. Why don't we say goodbye here?"
"You should go with this senior brother to Tianluo City to rest and recuperate, and find a place to properly heal your injuries?"
She had other things to do. Ah Sheng had been inside for so long, he must be feeling a bit bored, so she had to let him out.
I also made a promise with my parents that I would contact them after I came out, or go to the ancient battlefield to find them.
She had no idea how long they had been in this Forest of Death, nor did she know if they had come out of the ancient battlefield.
Okay, let's contact them again after they've rested a bit.
If they still can't get in touch, they've probably entered the ancient battlefield and haven't come out yet.
The ancient battlefield and this Forest of Death are not ordinary places.
The unusual nature of this Death Forest is likely due to the aura of death emanating from it.
The ancient battlefield, however, is a place worth exploring because of the chaotic magnetic field. It contains many traces left from the great battles and many remnants of ancient formations.
The old man never expected that Zhong Ran and the other person would actually abandon him after they came out.
Is it because they think he's a burden?
His voice suddenly sounded aggrieved: "Help me find a place to settle down."
Zhong Ran looked at Cui Jingyun and asked, "Senior Brother Cui, would you be willing to help this senior find a safe place to recuperate?"
The old man also faced Cui Jingyun, his divine sense exerting pressure as he stared at Cui Jingyun.
Cui Jingyun quickly replied, "Of course I'm willing. I guarantee I'll make sure you're taken care of properly."
He had always intended to curry favor with this senior, and if Zhong Ran and the others were not involved, he would have more opportunities.
Lin Ziyue wanted to stop him. Why did he want to bring such an old man to her home?
But since Cui Jingyun had already agreed, she couldn't say anything more.
