I feed the worms with my body, I am the evil demon

"Oh? He is an interesting person, but unfortunately I don't have such lofty ideals." Gu Xiu turned and left.

He really didn't care whether it was a demon or a righteous man, the strong would protect the weak.

Ridiculous, he didn't believe it, he only knew that weakness was a sin!

Watching Gu Xiu's gradually receding figure, Wang Ji put on his mask again, his eyes calm.

…

A few days later, in a hidden place in a swamp, Gu Xiu opened the huge crab claws and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

He was getting closer and closer to the central area, and there were a few more storage bags in the lining of his clothes, and he had no time to check.

He had been fighting all the way, either encountering monsters blocking the way or encountering insidious monks.

He had several more injuries on his body, but he did harvest a lot of spiritual plants, but unfortunately the age was not too high.

Only in the central area would there be spiritual plants over 500 years old.

Gnawing on the crab claws, Gu Xiu checked the map and found a natural barrier thirty miles ahead, called "Sunset River".

It is a special area between the Medicine King Secret Realm and the central area in the south. The Tianjiao who participated in the secret realm in the past had specially marked it in the information.

[The Sunset River is the only barrier for the secret realm to enter the central area in the south. The river is nearly 100 miles wide. The river water is like magma, and a feather cannot float or cross it. ]

Looking at this sentence, Gu Xiu frowned, "Can't even fly over it?"

Then, the following text gave the method of crossing the river.

[However, there are 49 heavenly evolutions, and one of them is a person's escape. Everything has its own secret. Take a trace of the water of the Sunset River to refine it with your soul. Whether it can be successful depends on chance. If it succeeds, you can cross it without fear of restrictions. ]

"Tsk, so difficult." Gu Xiu put away the map annotations, wiped his mouth, and swallowed a second-level healing pill.

No wonder the central area is called a restricted area. In the past, at least 90% of the cultivators who entered the secret realm were blocked by restrictions in various places.

If it were anything else, it would be easy to say, but with the sentence "It all depends on chance", it would be impossible to start.

But Gu Xiu didn't care. If he couldn't get through, it meant that he had no chance to go to the central area.

Touching the fire pattern on his forehead, Gu Xiu suddenly thought that since Gu He told him to go to the central area, it meant that he had enough confidence.

Unable to feel any effect of the fire pattern, Gu Xiu had to give up. After refining the elixir, he got up and rushed to the Sunset River.

…

A turbulent river was across the land like a mountain barrier, and the bright river water was like a golden ribbon emitting a glittering brilliance.

Hundreds of feet in front of the river, there was no grass and the ground was cracked.

Several figures were blocked by the river in the distance, standing there with their eyes wide open, at a loss.

"What the hell, what the hell?"

"Is this the rumored Sunset River? It's really extraordinary."

"Daoyou, do you know how to cross this river?" The casual cultivator who spoke first scratched his head when he heard the sighs of the people around him.

He had no information and had to rely on himself to explore. Looking at the turbulent river, he was in trouble.

The man glanced at him and said disdainfully: "You don't buy the information yourself and you want to get it for free, just go and have fun."

"You!"

"Hehe, fellow Taoist, I know." Another person laughed and said.

The casual cultivator's face was delighted, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, please tell me."

"It's simple, just fly over with a flying tool." The cultivator who laughed and said casually.

The casual cultivator immediately showed a suspicious look when he heard it, "Fellow Taoist, are you deceiving me?"

"How can it be! How else can you cross except flying?"

There are more and more people around, up to a thousand people, all scattered far away. Seeing that the casual cultivator was hesitant, no one spoke to remind him, but everyone looked at the show.

"Humph, I don't believe it, fellow Taoist, why don't you fly and let me see?" The casual cultivator was not stupid, and reacted immediately.

The man curled his lips and stopped talking.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for others to cross the river, and no one wants to explore the way first.

"You can only rely on your own luck here. I can't help you." Six figures appeared, led by two beautiful women.

Gu Xiu recognized one of them, Xiao Yan'er.

Xiao Yan'er rubbed her brows and said helplessly: "Sister has taken enough trouble to protect us all the way. The rest is up to us."

The woman wearing a light blue dress beside her was named Xiao Ya, the leader of the younger generation of the Xiao family. She nodded slightly, "Don't worry, this river is not as scary as the rumors say. As long as the soul is strong enough, it can be refined. It's just a matter of time. If you have a fire spirit root, it may be easier. My Xiao family has the strongest talent for refining medicine among the twelve families, and the soul has an advantage. Wait for a while."

"Yes!"

...

After an hour, more and more people gathered here. The people of the clan stood together, and other casual cultivators either dispersed far away or talked with familiar people.

"Brother Ye, what a coincidence!" The tall Xiao Ya looked at the people who came.

Ye Liuyun was carrying an ancient sword and wearing a white robe with gilded edges, followed by seven family members.

"Well, are you ready to cross the river?"

"Almost done, Brother Ye goes first?" Xiao Ya asked. Ye Liuyun was the leader of the younger generation of swordsmanship, but she didn't know how strong his soul was, so she wanted to take a look.

Ye Liuyun squinted at the river in the distance and nodded slowly, then turned back and reminded, "You wait here first, and I will pass on my experience to you if I can succeed."

"Okay, young master, go first, and we will protect you."

When everyone saw Ye Liuyun, who was dressed in white, walk out first, they all looked at him.

"Well?" Ye Liuyun, who was walking forward, suddenly turned his head and looked at a man in a black robe in the distance.

This man was covered in a black robe, with only his white chin exposed, but for some reason he felt familiar.

After a glance, Ye Liuyun gave up the idea and fell directly into the riverside. He looked at the river water surging like magma, and his body was covered with magic power.

He did not have a fire spirit root, so he had to rely on the power of his soul to refine this water.

However, there were seniors in the clan who had been to the secret realm and had taught him experience, so it should not be too difficult.

He separated a wisp of divine thought and slowly approached the river water. Ye Liuyun only felt a burning sensation in his soul. He suppressed the discomfort and took out a wisp of river water and then placed it on his forehead.

His sword intent was rising and constantly consuming the water that did not look like water.

Gu Xiu watched from afar and saw that Ye Liuyun's forehead was constantly shining, and the river water was slowly merging with him.

"If I suddenly attack, I wonder if I can kill him with one strike." Gu Xiu thought, but seeing the scattered figures around him and the Ye family members who were constantly approaching to form a horn, he gave up the idea in his mind.

Speaking of Ye Liuyun, he was still his savior, and Gu Xiu's mouth curled up slightly.

About half an hour later, a layer of golden film appeared around Ye Liuyun, and he slowly raised his feet and landed on the river.

He did not sink, but walked on flat ground.

At this time, the crowd was boiling, and a large group of people flew to the front of the river.

"It's so simple, let me try it too."

"Ah!"

"Damn it, it's so hot, I can't stand it!"

"Hiss!"

A series of angry curses sounded, and many cultivators were burned by the scalding river water.

There were even a few casual cultivators with poor cultivation who insisted on trying it, but their whole bodies were ignited and turned into charcoal in the blink of an eye.

The scattered cultivators who had not yet come forward were frightened and scattered like birds and beasts. Soon the crowd gradually dwindled to only a few hundred people.

"Let's go, we'll go too." Xiao Ya escorted the few people behind him to the river and began to try.

Gu Xiu also chose a relatively remote place and flew to the ground.
