Transmigration and Self-Saving Cultivation

Chapter 175 The Truth Approaches

Jun Luochuan, Su Yao, and the mysterious man, like three cautious foxes, carefully made their way through the eerie forest that seemed capable of swallowing everything. After the strange sound disappeared, a deathly silence fell, as still as a frozen world, without even a whisper of wind.

Jun Luochuan's heartbeat was exceptionally clear in the suffocating silence, rapid like a drumbeat. His tightly furrowed brows resembled two intertwined dragons, and his mind was like a turbulent sea, constantly pondering the various dangerous situations that might arise next.

Su Yao clung tightly to Jun Luochuan's clothes, her hands gripping him like a lifeline. Her voice trembled like a withered leaf in the wind as she said, "Jun Luochuan, I have a feeling that there are some unseen demons in this forest watching us. It makes me feel really uneasy."

Jun Luochuan turned to look at her, his gaze as gentle as the warm spring sun, and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid. With me by your side, I am like an unbreakable shield, and I will never let any evil thing harm you in the slightest."

The mysterious man walked ahead, his eyes sharp, carefully observing every blade of grass and every tree around him. No subtle movement escaped his notice. Suddenly, he stopped, as if frozen in place, and said, "This place has an indescribable strangeness about it, like a carefully laid trap. We must be as careful as pedestrians walking on thin ice."

They continued forward, the piles of fallen leaves beneath their feet rustling softly, a sound like the ancient, deep whispers of the forest, revealing secrets to them.

As they walked, a dilapidated temple suddenly appeared before them, like a weathered old man standing alone in this mysterious forest. The temple's doors were ajar, and a faint light, like that of a firefly, shone through, making it appear even more mysterious in the darkness.

Jun Luochuan quickly signaled everyone to stop, his movements swift and decisive, like a general commanding a vast army. "Don't act rashly, stay alert, and observe the surroundings."

Like a frightened little rabbit, Su Yao huddled tightly behind Jun Luochuan, cautiously peeking out her head and looking timidly at the temple. "This temple looks eerie and terrifying, like a haunted house. Could there be some deadly danger lurking inside?"

The mysterious man stood still, lost in thought for a moment, his expression as solemn as a stone sculpture. "Perhaps, this mysterious temple is the key we have been searching for, and the answer we have been dreaming of may be hidden here."

Jun Luochuan nodded slightly, his movements firm and powerful. "Then we will carefully and cautiously go in to find out what's going on, but we must be extremely vigilant and not be careless in the slightest."

They slowly entered the temple, and an ancient, decaying stench washed over them like an invisible wave, making them instinctively want to cover their noses and mouths. The temple was filled with thick dust and dense cobwebs, as if the marks of time itself had been left behind. A dilapidated statue stood in the center; the face of the deity was blurred, yet it still exuded an aura of awe.

Jun Luochuan strode forward with steady steps, examining the statue meticulously like an archaeologist, leaving no detail overlooked. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "There's a discovery here!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yao and the mysterious man immediately swarmed around like iron blocks drawn to a magnet.

Jun Luochuan carefully picked up a yellowed ancient book from behind the statue, a book that seemed like a long-dormant treasure. He gently opened it; the writing was ancient and obscure, like a mysterious code waiting to be deciphered.

Just then, a commotion arose outside the temple, a sound like the roars of a pack of frenzied wild beasts, sending chills down one's spine...
