Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

"Are you saying that all the blood behind that tunnel is from Qin Shan?"

When Hu Qing heard what Gu Yang said about the monster, a light bulb went off in his head. Yes, what if this monster needs blood?

"Brother Gu, you are truly a genius. Let's go to the entrance of the ruins at the foot of Sunset Mountain."

If this "monster" really wanted to absorb blood, then the astonishing amount of bleeding in the cave and the passage would make sense.

The emperor and his men were engaged in a melee with Zhu Pei, which attracted a blood-sucking "monster". The monster was too powerful and injured both groups of people.

The emperor took Qin Shan's body out of the passage. The monster smelled the blood on Qin Shan's body and began to chase the emperor and others. He had to keep cutting his skin and letting his blood. Finally, he managed to run out and left Qin Shan here.

Gu Yang took Hu Qing and walked out of the path. He was still thinking about these messy clues and was almost finding the end of them.

"Ah Qing, look over here!"

Gu Yang stared blankly at the raging waves beneath his feet as they crashed against the black rugged rocks, making a surging sound.

Hu Qing also looked at the scenery at the exit in some disbelief. He didn't expect that there was a vast ocean here.

The salty and humid sea breeze blew on their faces. In the distance, there were some flying seagulls, making crisp and melodious calls. The whole scene was peaceful.

Gu Yang lives inland, and this is the first time he has seen the sea since he was a child. Not to mention Hu Qing. Although he has seen a lot of it in his previous life, this is his first time in this world.

"Brother Gu, is the sea behind Sunset Mountain? There are no other trails nearby, and there are no boats on the sea."

The emperor and the imperial teacher actually returned to Haitian City from this road. Looking around, I couldn't see any other roads.

"Yes, legend has it that this was once a large mountain range until a meteorite fell, destroying all the mountains and exposing the coastline."

"Meteorite?"

Hu Qing looked around. The coastline here was indeed full of rocks, but the number of meteorites was still an exaggeration.

"It's just a legend. Who knows what the truth is? There was a fork in the road about a kilometer away from here, but I thought it was too narrow, so I didn't pay attention to it."

Hu Qing looked at the vast ocean, exhaled, turned and walked towards the path.

"Let's go, Brother Gu. We must get out of Sunset Mountain before the sun sets."

Gu Yang took a few lingering glances at the sea, then followed Hu Qing to the fork in the road.

In a moment, the two arrived at a fork in the road.

"Is this the path you were talking about? It's too small!"

I saw a snake-like path extending deep into the forest, surrounded by weeds. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell that it is a road.

Gu Yang took out the Moon-Covering Knife, cleared the way ahead, chopped up all the weeds on both sides, and the two walked deeper into the cave.

"This is indeed the escape route of the Emperor and the Imperial Master. The branch on the tree over there is broken, and there is cloth on it. It must have been scraped by one of them while flying."

Gu Yang looked in the direction of Hu Qing's finger. A piece of dark cloth was hanging on a half-branch above his head, fluttering in the wind.

"When will I be able to fly so that I don't have to walk anymore." Gu Yang rubbed his sore shoulders and complained to Hu Qing.

"Just take your time, one step at a time, why rush?"

The two of them followed the narrow path and finally walked out of the forest. Looking at the surrounding hills and the official road under their feet, Hu Qing felt relieved.

"Ah Qing, this place is still about 45 kilometers away from Haitian City. It seems we have to rest here for a night."

Hu Qing looked at the sky full of fiery clouds and nodded. The ruins were really weird. If he went to check them at night, there might be problems.

Gu Yang found a relatively small hill with a cave at the foot of it.

Hu Qing smelled the smell of feces coming from the cave, frowned, and looked at the traces on the surrounding trees.

"Brother Gu, this should be a wild boar cave. The surrounding trees are covered with mud and scratches."

While building the bonfire, Gu Yang turned around and looked at Hu Qing with a smile.

"I know. The smell of pig manure is so strong here, there must be wild boars. This way, we don't have to go out hunting for dinner. We can just wait for the prey to come to our door."

Hu Qing marveled at Gu Yang's cleverness. He found some dead leaves nearby and raised the ground at the entrance of the cave. The smell of pig was too strong.

The sky gradually darkened. From afar, the only source of light within a ten-mile radius was Gu Yang and his group.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the ground prepared by Hu Qing, leaning against the campfire to dispel the coldness in their bodies.

"Ah Qing, have you ever considered going back?"

"Of course, I have my family and my wife waiting for me there."

After hearing this, Gu Yang turned his head away with some disappointment and warmed himself by the fire.

Hu Qing looked at the stars in the sky. He had been here for so long and was a little homesick. Among so many stars, which one was the blue star?

Neither of them spoke, waiting quietly.

Gu Yang turned his head and stared at the grass on the right, which emitted a strong fishy smell.

"Wild Forest Boar, this is a second-level one, be careful when you go up there."

Hu Qing felt the faint murderous intent and heavy breathing coming from the grass, and immediately identified the monster.

When Gu Yang heard the information given by Hu Qing, he dropped the Moon-Covering Sword, rushed forward with bare hands, and jumped into the bushes.

“Hehehe!”

The wild forest boar let out a painful wail and rushed out from the grass. It was two meters long and one and a half meters tall, with blood on its fangs.

But at this time it seemed very panicked, because Gu Yang was riding on its head and kept hitting its head with his fists. No matter how he collided or swung, Gu Yang did not move at all.

The wild forest boar felt stars in his eyes, felt dizzy, and fell straight to the side of the campfire.

Gu Yang wiped the blood off his fist and slashed its neck with the Moon-Covering Knife to let it bleed.

He turned his head and smiled at Hu Qing. Hu Qing's thumbs-up made him even happier. He shook his head and began to process the wild forest pig meat.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue filled the air around the hills. Gu Yang was feasting on the meat. This kind of fresh meat really made people happy.

After eating and drinking, the two began to meditate and practice. Hu Qing was repairing the damage to his soul, which had been severely damaged in the past few days.

Gu Yang was comprehending the battle experience, learning from it, and also absorbing the spiritual power around him.

The hills returned to silence, with only the crackling of the surrounding campfires as the only sound.

The cool breeze blew the bloody smell of the wild forest boar all around, causing the monsters to howl and the jungle in the distance began to become restless.

The two figures on the top of Sunset Mountain also moved after smelling the blood in the air, and flew towards the hill where Hu Qing and the others were.
