The night in the Spiritual Road was slightly different from the outside world. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, but under the bright stars, there was a slightly red blood moon hanging in the night sky.
Faint blood-colored light sprinkled down, causing the Spiritual Road at night to appear somewhat strange at this moment, causing one's heart to feel stifled.
To be honest, Mu Chen really wanted to ridicule. On the original Earth, the moon was just a satellite. However, in this world, which was not a sphere but a continent, what was going on with the moon?
Could this be the strangeness of the Otherworld?
Forget it, let's not talk about this unscientific thing. After all, in this supernatural world, science and whatnot had long been killed.
Zhan Xiong carried his spiked club and allowed the blood-red moonlight to shine on his body. He stood motionless in the night wind.
Zhan Cheng set up a tent, and a bonfire burned outside the tent. The person in charge of the night watch had to add some firewood every half an hour to prevent the bonfire from extinguishing.
Mu Chen was lying quietly in the tent. On the other side, Zhan Cheng had already fallen asleep, and faint snoring could be heard.
Mu Chen had some doubts in his heart. According to his speculations, these two people should be waiting for him to fall asleep in the middle of the night to take his blood-colored token.
However, Zhan Cheng was lying less than three feet away from him, snoring. He seemed to have completely let down his guard. He was not afraid that Mu Chen, who happened to meet him, would have evil thoughts and snatch his token.
"What's going on?" Mu Chen closed his eyes, but he could clearly feel Zhan Cheng sleeping soundly.
Was he too careful? Was his analysis wrong?
Could it be that these two brothers, Zhan Cheng and Zhan Xiong, really did not have any bad intentions? Was it really as they said, that meeting each other was fate? The Spiritual Road was fraught with dangers, and they should support each other. Perhaps they could become classmates in the same academy in the future?
If that was the case, then it would be for the best. If he wanted to fight, he would not be afraid.
Mu Chen continued to close his eyes and rest. In this month, he had been in danger every day, and he had an unusually accurate intuition for danger.
Although he hadn't felt the killing intent of Zhan Cheng and the other man yet, hehe, don't forget his other identity.
He was the successor of Absolute Evil. Even though he did not have that kind of power now, he was very sensitive to the perception of evil.
Time slowly passed. Four hours later, Zhan Xiong added a few branches to the bonfire, walked into the tent, and gently pushed the cart forward.
Zhan Cheng sat up reluctantly, stretched, and put his index finger to his mouth, making a shushing gesture.
"Don't wake Mu Chen up. Hurry up and sleep, we still have to travel tomorrow.”
Zhan Xiong nodded and frowned. There was some doubt in his eyes.
Zhan Cheng tilted his head and looked at Mu Chen. A trace of an inexplicable smile flashed across the corner of his mouth. No one knew what he was thinking.
The two of them quietly exchanged positions, and the tent quickly regained its peace.
When the morning sun rose from the horizon, a ray of light broke through the night sky and Zhan Cheng walked into the tent.
"Second Brother, Brother Mu Chen, get up.”His voice carried a trace of fatigue as he raised his leg and kicked Zhan Xiong.
Mu Chen pretended to be drowsy as he sat up and squinted at the two of them.
"Brother Zhancheng, it's dawn."
"That's right. We still have to hurry on and can't stay here any longer. You guys pack up and we'll set off immediately.”Zhan Cheng nodded, looking sincere.
Zhan Xiong didn't say anything. He sat up and walked out of the tent with his mace.
Mu Chen walked out and looked at the rising sun in the east. He asked,""Brother Zhan Cheng, where are you going in such a hurry?”
Surprise flashed across Zhan Cheng's face as he asked,""Brother Mu Chen, don't you know? About three days away from here, there is a Guarded Ground. Only when we reach the Guarded Ground can we rest. Otherwise, the Spiritual Road is too dangerous.”
"Guarded Ground? Where did you get the detailed location?”Mu Chen was stunned. He had only learned about the existence of such a place from the information on the blood-colored token, but he did not know the exact location.
Zhan Cheng and Zhan Xiong looked at each other and asked curiously,""The blood-red token has detailed information. Didn't you see it?”
"No, there's nothing recorded in my token." Mu Chen shook his head.”
"How is that possible? Take out the blood-colored token and let me take a look.”Zhan Cheng frowned in disbelief.
"Sure," Mu Chen casually agreed. Just as he was about to take out the blood-colored token, he hesitated for a moment.
Zhan Cheng seemed to have noticed Mu Chen's hesitation and smiled.""It seems that Brother Mu Chen has not let down his guard against us. However, this was also right. In the Spiritual Road, one should not easily trust anyone.”
With that, he flipped his right hand and a red token appeared in his palm.
"You'll know when you see mine." Zhan Cheng smiled slightly and actually threw the blood-colored token in his hand over.
Mu Chen frowned and caught the token. He could not believe the feeling that came from his hand. He was sure that it was indeed a blood-colored token.
"He really gave me the blood-colored token?”
"You'll know once you communicate with the blood-red token. There's a lot of information inside, and it's troublesome to talk about.”Zhan Cheng said indifferently.
Mu Chen stared at the blood-colored token, and his eyes flashed with a trace of light. His malice was growing.
Then, he pretended to read the information in the blood-red token.
At this moment, a voice entered his ears.
"Second Brother, do you see that? Greedy people are everywhere. Isn't this less troublesome and less troublesome?”Zhan Cheng's voice carried a hint of mockery and ridicule.
Immediately, Mu Chen saw the spiked club on Zhan Xiong's shoulder waving in the air, smashing towards his head. At some point, Zhan Cheng had appeared behind him, stabbing his back with a long sword.
A pincer attack from both sides.
Mu Chen finally understood why Zhan Cheng did not make a move last night. It was to lower his guard. Then, he deliberately used the news of the Guarded Ground to arouse his curiosity. Then, he gave him the blood-colored token as if he was casually looking at it.
So that was how it was!
The blood-colored token would indeed record everything that happened to the wielder in the Spiritual Road. This information could also be read through, but when reading it, due to the connection between the mind and the token, it would cause the wielder to lose focus for a moment.
This was the time that Zhan Cheng had calculated. As long as Mu Chen looked at the blood-colored token, the two of them would immediately take action.
"Humph!" Mu Chen sneered.
Since he dared to do this, he must have a trump card.
With a thought, the entire world began to slow down. Mu Chen activated the acceleration power. After a month of grinding, his strength had already adapted to it. Mu Chen could now withstand a 6 times speed enhancement. Under this condition, Mu Chen's speed was much faster than the fastest runner in his previous life.
However, for those who were born in this cultivation plane, even though Mu Chen's speed was very fast in their eyes, it was not impossible for them to keep up.
However, this was only his reaction speed. All of Mu Chen's attributes had been increased. This was not something that could be explained by the 6 times increase in the online game. This speed had also brought about a huge change in the situation.
For example, the originally dangerous pincer attack from both sides was easily avoided by Mu Chen's time ability. Mu Chen even stepped on Zhan Xiong's shoulder and kicked the back of his head, sending him towards Zhan Cheng.
Zhan Xiong's body drew a parabola in the air as he descended. This process was a little slow. In Mu Chen's eyes, the entire process was like a movie in slow motion. He could even see that the initial delight in Zhan Cheng's eyes gradually turned into confusion, and even surprise. Perhaps, he was completely frightened by Mu Chen's actions.
The reason why it was so slow was naturally related to Mu Chen's ability.
Normally, one of the two types of acceleration and deceleration energy had to hit the user, while the other had to hit the enemy to produce the greatest effect. This was because Mu Chen was a human, and he had just started cultivating. He had not yet cultivated much, so his reaction speed and physical fitness were very low. The last time, he had only used a single digit speed, and it had almost caused Mu Chen to lose his combat strength due to the side effects.
Therefore, Mu Chen thought of using acceleration and deceleration at the same time. However, the process was too troublesome. If the enemy's agility was high enough, it would be difficult to double aim. Thus, Mu Chen thought of a way.
My enemies are definitely faster than me, but regardless of whether it's long-range attacks or close-range physical skills, the enemies will always touch me. Then, how about forming a certain area of speed reduction barrier around me?
Thus, this process was formed. The range of the Deceleration Barrier was targeted at enemies with killing intent and dangerous items, and the entire range was---a radius of 30 meters!
Within a radius of 30 meters, everyone's speed would decrease, except for Mu Chen himself. Mu Chen himself was in a state of acceleration.
Therefore, it wasn't strange for him to have this kind of time lapse. In his current state, he even knew where and what Zhan Cheng and Zhan Xiong's attacks were aimed at.
Zhan Cheng and Zhan Xiong crashed into each other and rolled like gourds on the ground.
"I didn't expect you to not attack?" Zhan Cheng got up from the ground and looked at Mu Chen in bewilderment.
"Even if I don't need you, you can't beat me. Hmph, you've finally revealed your true colors.”
"Yes. I didn't expect you to have such a reaction at that moment. It seems that you didn't hide for the past month.”
Mu Chen just stood there quietly and did not reply.
"When the information in the blood-red token rushed into my mind, I should have been distracted for a moment. Those idiots in front were ecstatic when they received my blood-red token and couldn't wait to check it. Then, they were killed by us brothers. However, I'm surprised that you can react so quickly. It seems that your nerves and soul are very powerful.”Zhan Cheng looked at him and the sword in his hand trembled.
"I never believed you from the beginning.”
In the Spiritual Road, other than the dangers brought about by the various Spirit Beasts, the greater danger actually came from the youths who entered the Spiritual Road. The number of places for Spiritual Energy Empowerment was limited, or else the Five Great Academies wouldn't have produced some blood-colored token for the youths to fight over.
Zhan Cheng had said that when he met the three of them, everyone was chatting and laughing. They were fated to meet, and then they went their separate ways. This was simply ridiculous.
When they met in the Spiritual Road, the greatest possibility was that it would be like this, a life and death battle to snatch the token. If they met one person, it would still be acceptable for them to part after exchanging a few pleasantries, but if they met three people in a row like this, then it couldn't be any more fake.
"Since you've seen through me, it doesn't matter. It's just a little troublesome. If I kill you, the result will still be the same.”Zhan Cheng shrugged and smiled at Mu Chen.
Zhan Xiong's spiked club smashed onto the ground, causing dust to rise. In the eyes of the two brothers, although Mu Chen had dodged the fatal blow, he would still die if they joined forces.
Mu Chen quietly looked at them and suddenly smiled."Ha ~ To be honest, if you had chosen to turn around and run, perhaps I wouldn't have chased you.”
