Chapter 58 Inside the City
It seems this thing is indeed quite precious in this world. Lu Ren casually tossed the Cold Condensing Grass to Zhang Yan, saw him fumbling to catch it, and then carefully placed it into a box.
His expression was as complicated as someone who had lost their parents and just had a child.
Lu Ren shook his head at this sight, thinking, alas, it seems people in this world truly have a hard life.
Having followed Zhang Yan for nearly eight hours, the other seemed quite familiar with the area, especially taking many detours without entering, while explaining the dangers lurking within to Lu Ren.
"Especially that Dead Lake. It is said that five hundred years ago, after Chen Ran broke through one of Liang Zhao’s cities, he slaughtered the inhabitants, creating a pit of ten thousand bodies. Then he diverted the river to form a lake, which, despite its calm surface, has strong Evil Qi, overwhelming resentment, and bone-chilling cold beneath. The slaughtered people became Water Ghosts, and once someone goes down, they never come up again."
Lu Ren pondered this: "No wonder it felt so unusually cold when I climbed up. So that’s why."
Zhang Yan turned back to Lu Ren in shock: "Great, great hero, you’ve been there?"
"Uh, accidentally fell in."
"..."
Still saying you’re not a demon, any normal person would have been dragged down by the Water Ghosts long ago!!
What kind of monster is behind me!
Zhang Yan and Chen Ling exchanged a glance, both seeing the lament in each other’s eyes.
