Chapter 1295: Forgetful Bamboo Boat
"You don't know anything! I'll seal away the power of these bamboo trees so that you can unearth them. Trust me, they're going to be very useful," Gui Wu urged, then emerged from the Soul Locking Box before opening his mouth to release a cloud of gray mist that encompassed the entire cluster of bamboo trees.
The cloud of mist quickly seeped into the bamboo trees, upon which a series of gray patterns immediately appeared over their surface.
Han Li immediately swept both sleeves through the air upon seeing this, and two bursts of crescent-shaped golden light flew out of the palms of his hands before digging up the bamboo trees and the surrounding soil before stowing them away into his Flower Branch domain.
"Sorry about that. These bamboo trees are quite useful to me, so I decided to take a detour," Han Li said to Shi Chuankong and the others.
"It's fine," Shi Chuankong said with a wave of his hand. "Who is this?"
"This is Fellow Daoist Gui Wu, a soul fragment that I encountered and saved earlier in the underworld," Han Li replied, refraining from revealing Gui Wu's identity.
"I see. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Fellow Daoist Gui Wu," Shi Chuankong said as he cupped his fist in a salute.
Gui Wu took a glance at him, then nodded in response before flying back into the Soul Locking Box, and the group set off once again.
With Han Li and Weeping Soul on their side, the rest of the journey through the Hundred Ghost Forest went by very smoothly, and they finally emerged from the forest after over a month of travel, arriving on a boundless, gray plain.
"How far away are we from the Yellow Springs?" Han Li asked.
"We're already there. You should be able to see a red area up ahead, that's where the Yellow Springs are," Gui Wu replied.
