"Spatial ability! Gravity spell!" Tu Pao was surprised that Zhou Yan also possessed these two skills.
However, the three of them were quite strong, unleashing powerful spiritual energy, and managed to break through Zhou Yan's spatial and gravity spells.
"This place is not safe, let's go!" Tu Pao shouted urgently.
The three of them flew towards the sky.
"Don't you dare escape!"
Zhou Yan unleashed another volley of wind and thunder spells. Suddenly, fierce winds raged, thunder roared, and bolts of lightning struck towards the three of them.
"Damn it! How many spells does this guy know!" Da Pao quickly dodged, but a lightning bolt struck him.
"This guy's spells are so powerful," Xiao Pao narrowly avoided another.
"Kid, why are you chasing us so relentlessly? I'll let you pass," Tu Pao quickly said.
At this moment, An Tian and Liu Li also arrived in the sky, blocking the three of them. Facing the combined assault, Tu Pao and his companions became even more flustered. Despite having a higher cultivation realm, they were unable to defeat the trio.
Especially Zhou Yan's abilities, switching from gravity to thunder to fire, made them incredibly desperate.
Fatty was ignited by Liu Li's flames and immediately cried out, "Big brother, save me, it's burning me alive!"
"Da Pao!" Tu Pao rushed forward, trying to extinguish the flames, but he couldn't. Seeing Da Pao on the verge of being burned to death, Tu Pao immediately knelt in the air towards Zhou Yan and said, "As long as you don't kill my brother, I'm willing to be your slave!"
"Big brother, no!" Although Da Pao was in immense pain, he still shouted.
"Big brother!" Xiao Pao wanted to say something, but seeing Da Pao about to be burned alive, he remained silent.
Zhou Yan immediately nodded to Liu Li, and she quickly extinguished the flames on Da Pao.
Even so, Da Pao was in a terrible state. His clothes were reduced to a loincloth, his body was blackened, and his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes were all gone. Smoke was still rising from his mouth.
Seeing this, everyone felt like laughing, yet they also found Tu Pao to be quite loyal.
If Da Pao hadn't been strong, he would have truly been burned to death. Liu Li's flames were no joke.
Seeing that Da Pao was unharmed, Tu Pao and Xiao Pao breathed a sigh of relief.
The battle below also ceased.
Tu Pao directly asked, "I, Tu Pao, keep my word. Whatever you want us to do, as long as I, Tu Pao, can do it, I will not refuse."
Zhou Yan nodded, signaling for the three of them to descend to the ground to talk.
After they all landed, Zhou Yan asked, "Do you know of the Fierce Valley?"
"You're going inside?" Tu Pao was very surprised.
"This place should be very close to the Fierce Valley. You must know the way in. As long as you lead us in, I won't hold you accountable," Zhou Yan said, not making things too difficult for them.
"I can do that, but I'm enough to go there alone. Let my other brothers go," Tu Pao replied.
"Big brother, no! It's extremely dangerous there. Once you enter, you won't come out alive. We've seen so many people go in before, and none have ever returned. Isn't that just seeking death!"
Xiao Pao immediately objected upon hearing this. Entering the Fierce Valley meant certain death.
"Don't say any more. You take the brothers and go back first. I, Tu Pao, promised someone, and I will fulfill it. As for life or death, it depends on whether the heavens grant us a way out," Tu Pao declared with a heroic resolve.
"Don't worry, we don't want to die either. It's not that easy to get rid of us," Zhou Yan said.
Although Xiao Pao was extremely reluctant for Tu Pao to go there, their lives were in Zhou Yan's hands. He could only lead the injured Da Pao and the remaining brothers away from there.
"Follow me. There's a shortcut, and we'll be there soon," Tu Pao said.
Zhou Yan nodded and then led the group forward.
Not long after, Zhou Yan and Li Chungang sensed a terrifying aura and said, "What a fierce aura! No wonder no one who entered could come out alive. This must be emanating from that ferocious beast."
"Indeed, it's a very powerful fellow. I just don't know how much of its strength remains," Li Chungang sensed and became interested in the beast.
This aura, if inhaled too much, could affect one's sanity and even lead to control.
Zhou Yan took out some pills and handed them to everyone, saying, "Take these pills."
Tu Pao looked at the pills, his face full of shock, and exclaimed, "These are actually Grade Nine pills!"
Tu Pao never expected that they would be willing to offer such pills, and not just one or two, but several for each person. Moreover, judging by their demeanor, they didn't seem to consider these Grade Nine pills as particularly valuable.
These were Grade Nine pills!
They weren't low-level pills. Several per person, were they serious?
Could they be fake?
"Gulp!"
After swallowing, Tu Pao was astonished. These were indeed real. He looked at Zhou Yan again, utterly amazed by the man's extravagance.
"What are you waiting for? Lead the way quickly. Don't worry, just lead us obediently, and we won't let you die," Zhou Yan urged.
"Oh, alright." Tu Pao nodded and continued towards the Fierce Valley.
"There are many people and demonic beasts inside who have lost their minds, and their numbers are quite significant," Tu Pao warned.
Zhou Yan nodded, seemingly unconcerned.
Before long, a group of people and demonic beasts, all with vacant eyes, charged towards Zhou Yan and the others.
"These guys are so scary!" Ning Shui Qing retreated, moving closer to Diao Chan, feeling much more at ease.
"Just a bunch of walking dead, nothing to worry about," Diao Chan said.
These mindless individuals and demonic beasts had lost their sanity. Their souls were long gone, and their bodies were controlled by a peculiar energy.
Although they could utilize the strength within their bodies to fight, they couldn't unleash their full potential.
However, these walking dead felt no pain and knew no fatigue. They came in waves, and after dying, their corpses would dissolve into black smoke and disappear.
Surprisingly, these walking dead could drop treasure chests, which was an unexpected bonus. It was a pity that Zhou Yan and his group weren't there to hunt them, but rather to obtain the pseudo-divine artifacts within.
Still, the treasure chests dropped were mostly collected by Zhou Yan using his spatial abilities.
"Let's push through. No need to waste time on these monsters," Zhou Yan said, looking at the seemingly endless stream of monsters, and gave the order.
These walking dead were not particularly strong. They quickly carved a path, and everyone surged deeper inside.
The deeper they went, the more intense the ferocious aura became. Soon, they saw a colossal skeleton, its bones forming a path that led directly to a dark, ominous valley ahead.
"The real Fierce Valley is ahead. And there will be even more walking dead inside, many of whom are experts from the eighty-ninth or ninetieth heaven, and there are also many traps," Tu Pao said.
