Chapter 1827: Chapter 1925: Traces of the Ancient Wilderness Era
"Hmm?" Fang Lin looked up, only to see the tunnel opened by the woman in the black dress when she escaped underground was disappearing at a visible speed. The soil and rocks were fusing back together, leaving no trace of her underground passage.
In this way, Fang Lin and the woman in the black dress were completely enclosed beneath the earth. If someone were to pass over from above, they wouldnât be able to discover those hidden underground.
"Thereâs a strange formation here, as if someone intentionally hid this ancient battlefield. Unless one specifically sneaks underground to search, thereâs no way theyâd discover this ancient battlefield," the woman in the black dress explained.
Fang Lin nodded, feeling more at ease after confirming that this was indeed an ancient battlefield.
"Iâve brought you here, now itâs time to give me the antidote," the woman in the black dress reached out to Fang Lin and said.
Fang Lin glanced at her and said, "Youâll get the antidote, but I canât let you go."
The woman in the black dress couldnât help but get agitated upon hearing this, "Youâre breaking your word?"
Fang Lin sneered, "Breaking my word? When did I promise to let you go? I only promised to give you the antidote."
The woman in the black dress was furious, glaring at Fang Lin with eyes that could kill, but Fang Lin was indifferent. After all, a glare doesnât cost any flesh.
No matter what the woman in the black dress said, Fang Lin wouldnât let her go. Firstly, sheâs not a good person, who knows what trouble sheâd cause if released.
Secondly, theyâre currently in ancient times, not belonging to this era. If the woman in the black dress did something to alter the predetermined future, the consequences would be enormous.
Therefore, to ensure the woman in the black dress doesnât affect future changes, Fang Lin wouldnât let her go. If he does, it would only be once they return to later times.
Of course, in Fang Linâs mind, since the woman has immortal cultivation, itâs better to subdue her and recruit her, adding a formidable ally.
"Let me be clear, weâre both in ancient times now, and everything we do could affect later times. So you must stay obediently by my side, and soon Iâll return to later times. You should come back with me," Fang Lin said coldly, clarifying the situation.
The woman in the black dress frowned hearing this, understanding Fang Linâs point.
"You mentioned returning to later times soon? How do you plan to go back?" the woman in the black dress asked, grabbing the key point.
Fang Lin casually replied, "Youâll know when the time comes. Itâs useless telling you now, but since I can come back to this era, naturally I have a way to return."
The woman in the black dress was bewildered, still unable to adapt to having returned to the past. The notion is unsettling and incredible, seemingly impossible.
Yet it did happen. Everything sheâd seen earlier, including the Pill Saint Palace, was so real. Only then did she believe sheâd returned to a past era.
As an immortal, the woman prided herself on her martial arts mastery, but concerning time, she was entirely baffled.
"In short, before I return to later times, just behave yourself. Compared to the Cow Riding Old Taoist, youâre considered free now," Fang Lin remarked irritably.
Hearing mention of the Cow Riding Old Taoist, the woman in the black dress instinctively compared herself. Though under Fang Linâs control, at least sheâd regained her physical form. Compared to the Cow Riding Old Taoist, suppressed in the Beast Bag with only a head remaining, she was indeed better off.
But this didnât alter the womanâs resentment towards Fang Lin. More than anything, it was resignation and a concession to Fang Linâs formidable power.
Fang Lin was confident if the woman got an opportunity, sheâd attack him without hesitation.
Feeling pain within again, the woman in the black dress urged, "Give me the antidote!"
In this regard, Fang Lin wasnât dishonest. He retrieved a green pill from the Nine Palace Bag, which the woman swiftly grasped and swallowed.
As the pill took effect, in just a few breaths, the internal pain vanished.
She sighed deeply, until now unsettled by the toxic pill, her heart was never at peace, deeply uncomfortable.
Fang Lin suddenly remarked, "Arenât you worried that what I gave you might be another toxic pill?"
With those words, the woman in the black dressâs newly relaxed expression turned tense and dark again, abruptly looking at Fang Lin with the urge to fight.
But Fang Lin paid little attention, continuing to walk toward the distant ancient battlefield.
The woman in the black dress stood, fists clenched in hesitation, ultimately refraining from leaving.
She thought about it but knew she couldnât escape Fang Linâs grasp unless her power surpassed his; running was useless.
Moreover, Fang Linâs words on the pill made her doubtful and apprehensive; was it truly the antidote she took? Could it possibly be another toxic pill?
If it were a toxic pill, and she left, wouldnât she just be awaiting death?
Thus, the woman didnât dare flee, unwilling to gamble her life.
Among many corpses, Fang Lin walked, looking at the completely decayed remains, feeling melancholic.
The remains included demon beasts, humans, and some bizarre creatures, he couldnât discern their original form.
The ancient wilderness was the darkest, bloodiest era, with powerful demon beasts everywhere. For a long time, humans were merely prey for beasts, so weak and unable to determine their fate.
Gradually, humans learned to harness their power, cultivating inner strength and spirit sources, forming the martial artsâ prototype.
Records of the ancient wilderness are scarce, as most humans hadnât evolved, focusing mainly on survival rather than other matters.
Xuanyuan Ya emerged from the ancient wilderness, the first to become a Martial Lord, the first Martial Lord of the human clan.
Fang Lin knew little of the ancient wilderness, only vividly recalling the tale of the ancient magic tree causing havoc, ultimately slain by an ancient warrior with an ancient spear.
