Ding Huan's position and identity at that time prevent him from proposing a change of route or leaving the path alone at this time.
Even with the worst of excuses, he has to wait until camp to propose leaving in search of food.
Under this situation, proposing to go in search of food is clearly unreasonable, so this excuse doesn't work.
Just as Ding Huan was anxiously thinking about how to leave the main force, a disordered patch of ground appeared in front of the crowd.
All around were discarded clothing, tents, and scattered weapons lying everywhere.
"That's where it happened," Han Wei Cheng's voice shook slightly.
Ding Huan can also see that this place has gone through a great panic and then the crowd has scattered.
However, Ding Huan is very clear that Han Wei Cheng and his group did not have an accident here; their place of misfortune was passed by about ten to fifteen minutes ago.
This is just a prearranged false scene.
Ding Huan previously thought that these clothes and weapons were illusions, but after observing them several times with his divine mind, he found that they were real.
This means that the hidden existence that calculated against the Tianqi Sect and the Great Sword Gate is quite extraordinary, and even set up a false scene.
The only thing that Ding Huan doesn't understand is that this false scene has no meaning.
Ding Huan looked at the scene again, he had just seen it was a forest, now it was a road.
Ding Huan closed his eyes deeply, took a deep breath, and then operated his network recognition circuit before opening his eyes to look around again.
This time, it finally returned to normal and he could see clearly with his own eyes that this was not a road.
After several attempts, Ding Huan began to faintly understand what was happening.
This is definitely a toxic mist, just like the one last night.
Everyone has been caught, but he has the gene for detoxification.
His detoxification gene has become an instinct with the enhancement of his cultivation.
That's why, even if affected by this illusionary toxic mist, he will recover in a while.
Of course, there is another possibility, that his fusion of the Great Wasteland is capable of piercing through some illusions.
No matter what the case may be, this won't do.
The deeper we go, the closer we are to a dead end.
Ding Huan calculated for himself once again, and the result was more obscure than before, completely unclear and blurry.
The rules here are much more complex than in the human realm, and it's quite difficult to calculate. However, his own situation can still be taken as a reference.
We can't advance any further.
"Ding Huan. " Ding Huan didn't think about it and shouted loudly.
There were many people in this group, and due to the strange events that had occurred earlier, everyone was extremely quiet as they walked.
Ding Huan's shout completely disrupted the quiet environment, and almost all of them jumped in response.
What is happening again? This is the only thought of everyone.
There was no need for the Qiong Assistant to pass on a message; everyone naturally stopped without being told.
"What has happened?" The Qiong Assistant saw that it was Ding Huan who was calling him, and quickly came over to ask.
Not only the Qiong Assistant, but also Gou Senior and the elders from two other sects as well as Han Wei Cheng approached.
Ding Huan bowed and said:
"Gou Senior, Qiong Assistant, I have great confidence in my sixth sense. I feel that it's not wise to continue walking from here."
"What do you mean?" Gou Senior still had some appreciation for Ding Huan.
He not only found the Condensation Bamboo but also saved a disciple of the Tianqi Sect last night.
The old man of the Double Soul Sect and the old lady of the Azure Mist Valley didn't know Ding Huan's background, and when Gou Senior asked, they also stood aside to listen to what Ding Huan had to say.
Ding Huan pointed to the side and said:
"I have a premonition that only by passing through here can we turn the danger into safety."
"Did you lead us into the jungle?" The old man of the Double Soul Sect's face changed.
Not only the old man of the Double Soul Sect and the old lady of the Azure Mist Valley, but even Gou Senior looked at Ding Huan with some frowning.
In the Great Chasm Canyon, where is the most dangerous place? Naturally, it is in the jungle.
Entering the jungle not only means facing various beasts, but also various traps.
These traps are naturally existing, for example, you might accidentally fall into a heavenly hole while walking, and such heavenly holes are deep beyond measure, going in is basically a dead end.
Or you might be suddenly engulfed by a plant spirit, and your bones would be eaten away. As for sinking into quicksand, that's considered the most dignified way to die.
"Ding Huan, you're blind to say such things. This area used to be a jungle." The Qiong Assistant frowned and said.
Ding Huan was inwardly scornful, thinking that we are already in the jungle. Only you all have been drugged by illusions and see it as a road, but my target ahead is the real road.
"You are the Assistant of the Yan Yue Sect?" Elder Liu asked suddenly.
The Qiong Assistant quickly said, "No, it's our disciple who hired a cook, who is a temporary cook. He will leave after entering the sect."
Hearing that Ding Huan is a cook, and even a cook hired by a disciple privately.
The old man of the Double Soul Sect, Qian Chu, was greatly angered and stared coldly at Ding Huan:
"You, a mere cook, dare to speak out of turn. Get down there and if you dare to speak nonsense again, I will slap you to death."
Ding Huan was annoyed but felt helpless. He said to the Qiong Assistant,
"Qiong Assistant, since it's like that, please allow me to leave the team by myself."
Seeing that the old man of the Double Soul Sect, Qian Chu, was about to erupt again, the old man of the Yan Yue Sect, Gou Chong, suddenly spoke up:
"I acknowledge Ding Daoist's idea. Our Yan Yue Sect will follow along the side with Ding Daoist."
Gou You Chang does indeed have some appreciation for Ding Huan, but it's only a little bit of admiration.
He chose to listen to Ding Huan's advice, not just because Ding Huan had brought back the Condensation Bamboo before, but also because of Ding Huan's calmness when he entered the Great Chasm Canyon.
More importantly, he also had an underlying sense of unease.
It's just a very faint feeling, something that almost doesn't exist.
Just now, when Ding Huan brought it up, he had this faint sense of unease, and soon this discomfort vanished again.
That's why he chose to listen to Ding Huan.
"Gou Senior, Ding Huan is a... entering the jungle in the Great Chasm Canyon is very dangerous. There are records that very few have lived through it."
The Qiong Assistant couldn't help but speak up.
The Qiong Senior frowning, he also knew that entering the jungle was too dangerous, but Ding Huan's words, combined with his own vague sense of unease, made him hesitate for a moment.
"Although Ding Daoist's intuition is good, we still lost two disciples last night."
The Qiong Assistant spoke again.
"What happened last night?" asked the elder of the Double Soul Sect.
"Last night, when we were camping, Ding Daoist believed that the position of our camp was fine. Later it was indeed safe, but two disciples went missing," the Qiong Assistant replied.
Qian Chu stared coldly at Ding Huan and huffed:
"If it were my sect's cook who did this repeatedly, I would have slapped him to death by now."
Ding Huan was furious in his heart. Damn it, when your old man's strength improves, he will first flatten the sect that took over your body.
Gou Chong spoke up:
"Alright, those who believe in Ding Daoist can follow him, and those who don't believe can continue along the original path."
Gou You Chang understands. He knows that if he doesn't help Ding Huan, Ding Huan will be killed by Qian Yu Shan today.
Ding Huan, accompanied by his sixth, walked out first. Regardless of whether others believe or not, he has to leave this place.
Ding Huan was very grateful to Gou Chong for speaking up for him. Otherwise, in front of these people, he would be nothing more than an ant.
"Gou Senior, what about you?" a newly recruited disciple of Yan Yue Sect couldn't help but ask.
The Qiong Senior's expression was very serious:
"I do believe in Ding Daoist, but this matter is not ordinary. I cannot make decisions for everyone, so each person must decide their own fate."
After speaking, Gou You Chang also stood by Ding Huan's side.
"Lady, we can't go through there." Qingyu grabbed Guanyu who was about to pass through.
Seeing that Guanyu was looking at herself, Qingyu whispered:
"He only knows how to cook well, but he doesn't know size or respect. He's just a cook, how can we believe in his intuition? Moreover, he suggested that we enter the jungle, isn't this equivalent to seeking death?"
Guanyu furrowed her brow. She didn't believe Ding Huan, but she believed Gou Senior.
The strength of Gou Senior is definitely the strongest here.
As long as we stay by Gou Senior's side, it should be safe.
If she stays here, if something happens, the elders of other sects won't necessarily help her. After all, they have disciples too.
As for the Qiong Assistant, he's just a cultivator at the peak of foundation refinement, and his strength is too weak to protect her at all.
"Gou Senior said that we can make our own decisions. You are my maid, but you can also make your own decisions. I will still follow Gou Senior."
After saying that, Guanyu also walked over.
Qingyu was very helpless. She didn't want to go through, but as a maid, she couldn't resist the fact that her mistress would order her to die.
"Miss Guan, why don't you come with us as well?" The Qiong Assistant saw that Guanyu was also leaving the main group and hurriedly said.
The level and strength of Gou Senior are stronger than him, and he has no way to stop it.
Guanyu was the person he protected. If something happened, how would he explain to the Young Sect Leader?
"No need, I can walk on my own; I don't need anyone's guidance." Guanyu said coldly.
"Let's go then."
The Qian Chu of the Double Soul Sect looked down on the actions of Gou You Chang and didn't bother to wait any longer. He decided to go ahead first.
The Qiong Assistant had no choice but to say:
"Those who are willing to follow me, let's go together. Those who want to follow Gou Senior, let's follow Gou Senior together."
Twenty-three newly recruited disciples looked at each other.
The group split into two, with twelve of the new recruits deciding that Gou Senior was the strongest and following him would be safer.
Their thoughts are the same as Guanyu's. Although there are two other sect elders on this side, if something happens, they will definitely not help the disciples of Yan Yue Sect.
Han Weicheng hesitated for a long time and finally chose to follow the main force.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Gou Senior, but he doesn't believe there will be any good things happening in the jungle of the Great Chasm Canyon.
More than one hundred people divided into two teams, one led by the old man of the Double Soul Sect, Qian Chu, and the other led by Elder Liu of the Azure Mist Valley.
The other team had only a dozen or so people, led by Ding Huan and Gou Chong.
In reality, it was just Ding Huan who was leading the way, because after they separated, Gou You Chang said to Ding Huan,
"Lead the way in front of us, and speed up."
Ding Huan was already speeding up without Gou You Chang's prompt.
He had to leave the jungle of the Great Chasm Canyon at the fastest speed possible; otherwise, there wouldn't be much difference whether they separated or not.
