To Cultivate Immortality, You Need Luck

Chapter 111 Dry Well

That night.

Ten miles away from the town on the mountain road, a clearing was cleared out of an area where fallen leaves accumulated in the birch forest, and a bright bonfire was lit.

Kong Jiao and the two were sitting around the bonfire, the flames were beating, and the red light shone on Kong Jiao's pale face.

Feng An held a tree branch in his hand and put a pheasant that he had caught from nowhere on the fire to roast.

The chicken was roasted to a golden brown, and the alluring aroma of the meat wafted through the birch forest.

Feng An didn't get anything to eat in town today. He was so greedy that he couldn't help himself and shot a pheasant and roasted it himself.

Then he filled two bowls of the fine wine he brought from the sect. The pheasant was quite pleasant to go with the wine.

Kong Jiao's mind was obviously not on the roast chicken. He was looking at the bonfire, with the shadow of the flame reflected in his pupils.

He was still thinking about the sudden incident where the moon wheel seal appeared on its own before he left the small town inn, and then appeared briefly.

That was something that had never happened to me after practicing the Moon Wheel Seal.

It was as if something was approaching him, and it was sensed by the moon wheel seal, and then automatically activated.

Strangely enough, with Kong Jiao's current level of cultivation and perception, it was impossible for someone to approach him without being discovered while ascending the wheel.

"There must be something weird in that town." Kong Jiao thought to himself, and then looked at Feng An.

The latter came out with me at that time, why was he okay?

In other words, Feng An has already been tricked, but he and Feng An did not notice it.

Just as Feng An described when he arrived, the scene he experienced twenty years ago.

The companion who came with him was attacked by unknown means and fell down silently.

"This kind of Anomaly's attack method is simply unheard of." Kong Jiao rubbed his brows. This opportunity was far more troublesome than he imagined.

He is not afraid of a real fight with real swords and guns, but he is afraid of a guy like this who is secretly playing dirty tricks.

Of course, there is good news.

After testing during the day, Kong Jiao found that the Moon Wheel Seal he practiced seemed to have a certain degree of resistance to Anomaly's attack methods.

It proved that it was impossible for him to fall quietly like Feng An's companions.

Then there is the little gain from that trip to the small town.

The man behind the scenes who was hiding behind the town did not show up directly. He attacked Kong Jiao and the two, presumably because he was afraid of Kong Jiao's strength.

It proves that its true level is actually not very high as expected.

Kong Jiao estimates that its strength is around the seventh and eighth levels of Wheel-Nurturing Late Stage.

Definitely not reaching the Nine Realms.

If it had the strength of the Nine Realms, it would not be so cautious and take advantage of its geographical advantage.

Just show up and leave Kong Jiao and the two in the town forever.

"That's good news." Kong Jiao thought silently.

Feng An's roast chicken was almost done, so he separated out two chicken legs and handed them to Kong Jiao.

Then he held a whole chicken in his arms, drank fine wine, and just feasted without being affected by the day's events.

It's not that Feng An's perception has deteriorated, nor that his head suddenly has trouble functioning.

But he didn't sense the attack from the dark at all.

So I didn't think much about it.

Kong Jiao held the chicken leg without moving, watching Feng An spit out a whole chicken into his belly in just two mouthfuls, and then he spoke softly: "Brother Feng, you once said that you would report this matter to the sect. The sect also sent out The disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall came to check, but found nothing in the end, so we just let it go?"

"Yes, they did find nothing." When it came to business, Feng An's expression became solemn and he expressed his speculation.

"If this town is really the Anomaly town in the story that Junior Brother Kong read in the book, they can't find anything, which is understandable."

Kong Jiao nodded, agreed with Feng An's words, and added: "If what is recorded in the book is correct, this town may be more dangerous than it was twenty years ago."

"There is also good news. When the two of us went in today, we did not encounter an ambush. It proves that that thing is still afraid of us." Feng An said a judgment that was quite consistent with Kong Jiao.

"Twenty years ago, I was attacked as soon as I arrived."

As he said that, Feng An looked at Kong Jiao. Of course, it couldn't be him that the monster was afraid of.

It was Kong Jiao who came with him.

"Senior Brother Feng wants to find it." Kong Jiao smiled. In fact, he had the same idea.

Although the town is dangerous, it is not out of control.

With his combat power now that he has understood the power, and he has mastered Feng Tao Burying Snow, as long as he does not meet a strong person in the wheel ascending realm, no one in the nine realms of Wheel-Nurturing can even think of keeping him.

There is absolutely no problem with safety.

However, Kong Jiao is worried that it may be difficult to take care of Feng An when encountering a dangerous situation.

So he expressed his worries very frankly.

Feng An waved his hand indifferently and responded in a low voice: "This has been my knot for twenty years. Every night, the scene of that day is in my mind. If I don't put an end to it, I'm afraid there will be no hope of ascending to the wheel in this life."

"Whether it's for revenge or to get rid of inner demons, I have to go on this trip. Junior Brother Kong doesn't have to worry about me."

Feng An has been cautious for twenty years because of this incident.

In the end, because of this incident, I threw the caution of the past twenty years behind me.

Of course, there is also the reason why Kong Jiao is backed by his strength.

He would never dare to come here alone.

"Okay! Let's go tonight." Seeing Feng An's determination, Kong Jiao didn't persuade him any more, and then added: "When encountering an irresistible crisis, Senior Brother Feng can evacuate first. I can protect myself. It’s easier for people to get away.”

"Okay!" Feng An responded cheerfully.

The bright moon is high, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Kong Jiao and Feng An slowly groped towards the town from outside the town.

During this process, Feng An recited all the details he had seen twenty years ago several times.

"There is a dry well behind the town. When we were passing by that dry well, we were suddenly attacked by the monster."

"I have carefully analyzed many clues over the years. I am sure that the guy came out of the well."

"Didn't the disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall who came back then explore the dry well?" Kong Jiao asked in detail some details.

"I went down there, and they said it was just an ordinary dry well, and they didn't find anything strange." Feng An pursed his lips, and responded with some reluctance: "It's not because the fellow students who died were not high in cultivation. , not taken seriously by the sect. Therefore, among the people who went to the Law Enforcement Hall, the one with the highest strength was the Wheel-Nurturing Eighth Realm. What could he see?"

"Okay, let's go take a look at the dry well first." Kong Jiao chose to trust Feng An's judgment and make his priority.

The town was eerily quiet at night.

Every door is closed, and there is no light.

After Kong Jiao and the two entered the town, they didn't even hear the crowing of cocks or the barking of dogs. This was two extremes from the fireworks they saw during the day.

I don’t know if it’s because of too much silence, but there is an Anomaly atmosphere lingering in the town.

It doesn't look like a small town in the mortal world.

This made Kong Jiao even more certain that this town was the same as the town in the story recorded in the book.

This also made Kong Jiao and Feng An no longer willing to take the initiative to speak except for walking silently.

After tea time.

Kong Jiao followed Feng An around the town and finally came to the location of the dry well he mentioned.

It was a place behind the town, close to the wilderness.

There is a temple that looks to be quite old.

I don’t know which immortal is enshrined in the temple. Because it has been in disrepair for a long time, the statues in the temple have cracked.

The futons in the temple were in disgraceful tatters, and the ground was covered in dust.

When Kong Jiao and Feng An stepped into the temple ground, they left a series of clear footprints on the ground.

The dry well is in the backyard of the temple.

Kong Jiao first carefully scanned the surrounding area with his eyes. After confirming that there was no danger, he cautiously moved forward.

His eyes followed the mouth of the well and looked towards the bottom of the well.

Even though his eyes were blessed by an eye-cleansing spell, they only felt pitch black and couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

It was like there was a piece of black cloth covering the lower part.

Kong Jiao had to look away and whispered to Feng An in a low voice: "No, you can't see clearly what's going on inside from the outside. You have to go down."

"I'll go down with you." Feng An became more courageous as his cultivation level improved, and his tone showed that he really wanted to go on.

Kong Jiao shook his head and refused.

He moved his eyes, observing the surroundings and analyzing the situation: "Senior Brother Feng, you have to guard this place for me. This is the only escape entrance. If it blocks it, I may be in trouble."

Kong Jiao said it was very troublesome, not that he couldn't get out at all. In the worst case scenario, he could force a hole in the ground and break through.

But this is probably the burial place of the Wheel-Nurturing Realm monks recorded by Cloud Veined Steele.

Maybe there is no formation reinforcement below.

If you really encounter that kind of situation, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to break through.

Feng An thought it made sense, so he didn't insist. He said to Kong Jiao very cautiously: "Be careful, don't think about fighting head-on when you are in danger, save your life first."

"Don't worry, so many strong winds and waves have come here." Kong Jiao smiled softly and took out the bronze halberd from the storage bag.

In a small environment, the power of bows and arrows will be greatly limited.

The war halberd is the safest.

Then he made another seal, and the Cold Clothes Sacrifice Snow Technique immediately turned into a layer of gauze, wrapping his whole body.

After doing all this, he took a deep breath and jumped down into the dry well under Feng An's gaze.

On the well, the lingering sound of Kong Jiao's words before leaving echoed.

"Senior Brother Feng, if something happens up there, shout into the well immediately. I will come out immediately if you hear it."

As soon as the words fell, Kong Jiao's figure wrapped in cold clothes and snow-sacrifice skills had disappeared into the darkness of the dry well.

This dry well is like a huge mouth, swallowing Kong Jiao in one bite.
