Chapter 442: The Tide Turns

However, Zhang Zhiwen took a closer look and found that the flesh and blood of these corpses seemed to have dried up a little. Could it be that these people died of thirst? Looking at the red and hot Wanhelin, it seems that these people died of thirst?

But that's not right. This is just the entrance. Could it be that these people died of thirst as soon as they entered? What about the others? This entrance has been visited by batches of people, and no one else has died here. Compared with the number of monks who entered Wanhelin, these corpses are not many.

Zhang Zhiwen was indeed a little confused. He didn't know what was going on, but soon he found something different. He saw a group of people running over from a distance. They staggered over and looked no different from refugees. They were disheveled and had dry lips and tongues. Then they rushed over. They didn't pay any attention to Zhang Zhiwen standing at the entrance. They rushed over directly.

Zhang Zhiwen was not very worried about being attacked by these people, because these people were obviously cultivators without any mana, and there were only a dozen of them, which would not pose any threat to Zhang Zhiwen, so Zhang Zhiwen planned to see what was going on with them.

Soon, Zhang Zhiwen saw this group of people desperately rushing to the entrance, but there was a mana restriction at the entrance that blocked them instantly, and these people frantically slapped the translucent mana restriction wall, but they could not shake it at all, and then their strength gradually weakened, and then they slowly fell to the ground, and soon lost their vitality.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwen finally knew where these corpses came from. These people had no way to escape from Wanhelin, and Wanhelin should have made these people die of hunger and thirst, or even worse. The specific situation can only be known after Zhang Zhiwen enters Wanhelin.

Facing this situation, Zhang Zhiwen also frowned slightly, because he also had no mana. If he went in, would he be in a similar situation to these cultivators? If that's the case, then Wanhelin is quite treacherous and dangerous.

But now it seems that Zhang Zhiwen can't think too much, because there is a sound of breaking air behind him. Zhang Zhiwen looked back and saw a large group of flying monks flying here. Seeing this group of people, Zhang Zhiwen knew that he seemed to have no way out now.

He can now use the power of Benlei Taoism to escape from here, but doesn't he have to pass Wanhelin when he turns back? Since he will enter Wanhelin sooner or later, why not go in now!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwen didn't hesitate at all. He went straight into the magic forbidden wall and then appeared in Wanhelin. As soon as he came in, he found that the situation here was indeed a bit treacherous, because he just came in, he felt hungry, and the hunger was obviously getting stronger and stronger.

In addition, he also felt that there was a hot breath between heaven and earth, which was constantly eroding his body, as if it was squeezing out something from his body, such as water, food energy, etc. It was no wonder that he felt hungry so easily, which was quite strange.

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't think much about it. He could still hold on for a while, so he ran away without looking back. The monks behind him flew over. They found Zhang Zhiwen, and they naturally wanted to chase Zhang Zhiwen. Zhang Zhiwen had three Taoist mysteries!

However, after these monks entered Wanhelin, they were obviously affected, as if Wanhelin was a place full of curses, which made people instantly hungry, and these monks had to use their magic power to fight against this highly corrosive curse power. In this way, Zhang Zhiwen ran away without a trace.

Zhang Zhiwen shook off the pursuers and soon arrived at the heart of Wanhelin. There was a red sandstone here. The sandstone was high and low, with the highest reaching hundreds of feet and the lowest several feet. The ground around was also red sand. There was no vegetation and no vitality. There was no river or wild beast. There was no skeleton or anything like that. It seemed that this was a land of death.

Zhang Zhiwen was thirsty and hungry now. He could only find a red sandstone as a temporary foothold to settle down. If he continued to walk, he would definitely die of thirst or starvation in this place. Fortunately, he had a lot of water and food in his storage bag, thanks to the preparations of Zhang Hu and his people.

Speaking of which, Zhang Hu was a man with foresight. He was not in a hurry to enter Wanhelin in Tongyou Valley. Instead, he settled down to hunt for enough food before going to Wanhelin. But he was unlucky. He did not expect that Shenglong Secret Realm could still restore mana, and he was defeated in the end.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen didn't want any accidents to happen. He could keep a low profile, look a little afraid of death, or even let others think that he had no courage at all. It didn't matter. He didn't want to die in obscurity like Zhang Hu and Chen Daoqing.

This Shenglong Secret Realm seemed more treacherous and dangerous than imagined. Zhang Zhiwen naturally became more cautious. He now had 200 Taoist rune fragments. Logically speaking, he now had a chance to enter Shenglong Hall. So he didn't need to fight so hard. It would be wise to walk through this Wanhe Forest safely, then enter the Styx Realm, and finally leave here.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen ate and drank, and recovered a lot of strength. Fortunately, there was a lot of food and water in his storage bag. Anyway, the food and water were originally provided for more than a hundred people, and it was the amount for one or two months. If Zhang Zhiwen enjoyed it alone, there would be no problem at all.

However, just when Zhang Zhiwen had just finished enjoying a wild rabbit leg, a few people suddenly appeared next to him. When these people appeared, they saw the wild rabbit leg bone in Zhang Zhiwen's hand. These people's eyes lit up instantly, swallowed their saliva, and then rushed towards Zhang Zhiwen without saying anything, intending to forcibly snatch the rabbit leg bone from Zhang Zhiwen's hand.

A rabbit leg bone with little meat, Zhang Zhiwen originally planned to throw it away. If these people didn't come to snatch it, he might be able to get it, but now this group of people directly took action, then Zhang Zhiwen would definitely not be polite, and directly beat them up with a few punches.

Under Zhang Zhiwen's strong physical strength, these people were no different from tofu. Unless they had mana, they were almost vulnerable. Therefore, these people were killed on the spot, and Zhang Zhiwen directly looted their storage bags.

He opened the storage bag and took a look. He was quite surprised, because there were still 20 to 30 Taoist rune fragments in the storage bag. Naturally, he was not polite and directly absorbed these Taoist rune fragments, and then threw them back into the storage bag.

These 20 to 30 Taoist rune fragments did not bring much effect to Zhang Zhiwen, but it was better than nothing. Moreover, the more Taoist rune fragments he collected, the greater his chance of winning the Shenglong Competition. It seems that it is easier to get resources by killing people.

However, Zhang Zhiwen thought of another thing, that is, there seemed to be no monsters in Wanhelin, right? Then how did the Taoist rune fragments here come from? Or is it that there are no Taoist rune fragments here, only in Tongyou Valley?

Zhang Zhiwen was not sure if this was what he guessed, but if so, things seemed to become interesting. That meant that the monks could only obtain Taoist rune fragments in Tongyou Valley. After Tongyou Valley, they could not obtain them from monsters. If they could not obtain them from monsters, they could only obtain them from other people, right?

Just as Zhang Zhiwen was thinking about these things, there was a sound of fighting in the distance. Zhang Zhiwen was not interested in fighting. He just had to get out of this Wanhe Forest. But the sound of fighting quickly moved here, and Zhang Zhiwen could only get up and hide behind the sandstone.

Not long after, a group of people appeared here, but what surprised Zhang Zhiwen was that a lone monk was chasing a group of monks, and these people had mana, but the guy who was chasing the group of monks was actually manaless. This was simply unbelievable to Zhang Zhiwen. Generally speaking, monks without mana were not opponents of monks who had restored mana, but this was obviously not the case now. Now it was the other way around.

But Zhang Zhiwen saw that this guy who was chasing a group of monks alone had bulging muscles all over his body. He jumped up to a height of ten feet. He knocked away a piece of magic weapon with one punch, and then kicked a monk directly. The monks who were being chased were frightened and panicked. They were no match for this man at all.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwen was a little shocked. This guy's physical strength was even stronger than his. This was the first time Zhang Zhiwen had seen this since he started practicing Taoism. But Zhang Zhiwen vaguely felt that this person was a little weird, because this person's eyes were red, as if he had some mad dog disease, and it seemed that he had taken some elixir and suddenly gained some unknown and mysterious power. But the reality was that this guy killed all these monks one by one.

After killing these monks, this guy picked up the storage bag on the ground, and then looked at Zhang Zhiwen. Obviously, this guy found Zhang Zhiwen.

But Zhang Zhiwen saw another surprising scene, that is, the body of this guy gradually calmed down, and seemed to become similar to that of an ordinary monk, not at all the huge and sturdy guy just now, but this monk squinted his eyes and stared at the sandstone where Zhang Zhiwen was, and then his hoarse voice came: "Who are you, come out!"

Zhang Zhiwen knew that the other party had discovered him, so there was no need for him to continue hiding. He was actually very curious about this guy's background, so Zhang Zhiwen came out.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen was alone and a cultivator without mana, this guy was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhang Zhiwen with fear, and then said: "Brother, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised again, but he didn't show it. He just said lightly: "I didn't do anything, just rest here. What, you plan to rest here too?"

When the man heard this, he looked at Zhang Zhiwen half-doubtfully, and then clasped his fists to Zhang Zhiwen and said: "That's so annoying. I didn't expect to affect your business. Then, I'll give you half of the things here!"

This guy actually took out the things in the storage bag and really took out half of them and gave them to Zhang Zhiwen. Then this man clasped his fists to Zhang Zhiwen and said: "Goodbye!"

After saying this, the man turned around and left, leaving Zhang Zhiwen standing there with a puzzled look on his face. What was going on? Not only did the other party not conflict with him, but he actually gave him half of the spoils?

But Zhang Zhiwen thought back to the situation just now. He seemed to be thinking about something. Soon, he guessed something. He felt that this monk should think that Zhang Zhiwen was in the same situation as him, and Zhang Zhiwen was waiting here to kill some monks passing by. Then this monk killed people and crossed the border to Zhang Zhiwen's territory. He certainly didn't want to cause disputes, so he gave up half of the spoils.

But is it really like this? Some people say that half of the fat meat in hand is given away? Zhang Zhiwen looked at the spoils just now. There were as many as thirty or forty Taoist rune fragments. I'm afraid that no one would give up so many Taoist rune fragments easily, right?

Another thing, what is the situation of the other party? Why does he become stronger than the monks with mana without mana? He can even crush a group of monks?

Zhang Zhiwen was really confused. Not only was the environment of Wanhelin strange, but even the people who came in were so strange. It seemed that he really had to be more careful. However, Zhang Zhiwen still got up and continued on his way. He wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

But soon, Zhang Zhiwen found a bunch of red fruits growing under a sandstone. Seeing the fruit, Zhang Zhiwen did not rush over because there were people coming nearby. This time, it was another group of people who had no magic power. They obviously found that there were fruits here. They quickly gathered over and then talked about something.

Zhang Zhiwen hid behind the sandstone and heard what these people were saying. After hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen understood what was going on here.

It turned out that this kind of fruit was poisonous, but it only targeted monks with magic power, while monks without magic power could eat these fruits, and after eating these fruits, they could become extremely powerful and even directly shake the magic weapon, so they would not be afraid of those monks who recovered their magic power at all.

But after eating this kind of fruit once, you need to wait for an hour before you can eat it again, otherwise it will have no effect. This is exactly in line with the situation between Zhang Zhiwen and the cultivator just now. The cultivator obviously lost the power attached to the fruit, so he was worried that Zhang Zhiwen would kill him, so he gave up half of the spoils.

This kind of fruit is called Wanhe Fruit in their mouths. It can be seen everywhere in Wanhe Forest. Therefore, with these fruits, these cultivators without magic power can survive. Zhang Zhiwen realized that this Wanhe Forest is not nothing, there are still such magical fruits. Can this kind of fruit be cultivated in the Immortal Mansion? Zhang Zhiwen is still a little curious.

However, this group of people were collecting Wanhe Fruits at the moment, so it was definitely not convenient for Zhang Zhiwen to go over. But soon, another group of monks flew over. This group of monks had magical powers. When they saw the monks without magical powers collecting Wanhe Fruits, they turned around and ran away without saying a word. When the monks who were collecting Wanhe Fruits saw them running away, they would not let them go. They ate the fruits directly and then chased them.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwen was also a little speechless. It was really a matter of time. Previously in Tongyou Valley, it seemed that the monks with magical powers chased the monks without magical powers. Now it was the other way around. These fruits were everywhere, and the monks with magical powers could not completely destroy all these Wanhe Fruits. They must have encountered monks without magical powers and could only flee in embarrassment.

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't care. Seeing that there was no one around, he walked towards the Wanhe Fruit. These people had not picked all the fruits yet, so there were probably a lot of them. They didn't care, so Zhang Zhiwen came to the Wanhe Fruit. He wanted to try whether this thing could be cultivated.
