The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2416 Who would stay in the safe zone for no reason?

"No."

Lou Zihan explained, "Although the areas will change, there is one area that never changes. This area is also known by adventurers as the safe zone of the Holy Spring Secret Realm."

"The greatest danger in exploring the Holy Spring Secret Realm is not the great demons within, but the fear of encountering the area rotation. With each rotation, all adventurers outside the safe zone will also disappear along with this area."

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "All gone?"

Lou Zihan nodded: "Yes, so far, the area has been refreshed more than ten times. The area that disappeared before has not reappeared even once. None of the adventurers who disappeared with the area have reappeared. Nobody knows what they will encounter, let alone whether they will ever reappear."

Xuanhe's eyes widened in surprise. "If we're traversing an area and it refreshes, we'll be trapped and unable to get out?"

Lou Zihan nodded: "If we cross the region and reach the safe zone in the far north at full speed, it will probably take half a month. Once we reach the safe zone, we will be safe even if the region refreshes."

"But if we're really that unlucky and the area refreshes right around this time, we'll disappear along with that area. As for where we'll disappear to and what will happen to us after we disappear, only the people who disappear will know."

"Perhaps they were simply trapped in that area and are still alive, or perhaps they were destroyed along with that region..."

Ever since Lin Chen and the others promised Lou Zihan that they would find a way to remove the poison from Ghost Master's body once they captured him, Lou Zihan has become very cooperative, telling them everything he knows without reservation.

For him, Ghost Master was a mountain weighing down on him; as long as he was controlled by Ghost Master, death was only a matter of time.

Take this incident for example. He was ordered to kill Lin Chen and the others, but he was captured instead. If Lin Chen and the others hadn't wanted to eliminate Ghost Master completely, he would have been wiped out.

You survived this time, but what about next time?
Although Lin Chen and the others would cripple his cultivation, they also promised to find a way to detoxify him. Once the detoxification was complete, he could easily live for several hundred years in the mortal world without any problems.

He lost his spiritual practice, but gained life and freedom.

Fu Yunzi asked, "When was the last area refresh?"

"Thirty years ago, I think."

Lou Zihan replied, "On average, the refresh time is about once every sixty or seventy years, but this time is not fixed. It can be as short as ten or more years or as long as more than a hundred years. Entering the Holy Spring Secret Realm for adventure depends more on luck!"

Lin Chen did some mental calculations. Half a month to the safe zone, half a month back, that's a month. Twelve months in a year, over ten years, that's about a one percent probability. If the timeframe is extended further, the probability will decrease even more.

Statistically speaking, it's not very high, but if there's any probability, then it's possible to run into someone.

If we collide, it's 100%; if we don't, it's 0%. Fu Yunzi said in a deep voice, "Let's go through at full speed."

Liu Yun asked Lou Zihan, "Are you sure Ghost Master is among them?"

Lou Zihan answered frankly, "He naturally wouldn't tell me where he went, but since he was so badly injured and is someone everyone wants to kill, he certainly wouldn't run around. His first priority would definitely be to treat his injuries, so he's most likely here."

“If he’s not here, there’s nothing I can do, but at least we can find a place where the two injured people can get treatment.”

Everyone knew that Lou Zihan was being used as a tool by Ghost Master. Although he wasn't exactly a good person, no one was too harsh on him.

After lingering for a while and inquiring about some news, confirming that nothing had changed recently, the group entered the Sacred Spring Secret Realm.

The Holy Spring Secret Realm was no different from other secret realms; it was just a small world. After determining their direction, the group quickly headed north.

Although they encountered troublemakers along the way, they were essentially freebies in front of Fuyunzi and Liuyun.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

When towering, cloud-piercing mountains appeared ahead, Lou Zihan breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the mountains, saying, "Beyond these mountains lies the safe zone."

Everyone was immediately invigorated. Although they were all very strong, they were still quite apprehensive about the unknown changes in the secret realm.

Haven't many powerful beings tried to unravel the mysteries of the Holy Spring Realm, only to fail or even disappear in the end?
They don't think they're much better than those people, so it's best to be careful and not make a mistake.

After crossing the mountain peak, a breathtaking view suddenly opened up before them.

Beyond the mountain peaks lies a vast basin, stretching as far as the eye can see, covered in dense, lush forests.

Guided by Lou Zihan, the group continued forward, and soon the forest came to an end, beyond which lay an endless lake.

Lin Chen looked around: "Isn't this a safe zone? Why is nobody here?"

Lou Zihan laughed and said, "Although this is a safe zone, there are no rare or precious materials here, nothing of value. People come here to search for treasure. Even if they know this is a safe zone, who would come here to stay?"
