Chapter 109: Arrival at the Dispersed Immortal Garden
"Ah!"
Gu Xi, who was lying on the coffin lid, suddenly felt a pain in his head and cried out.
"Full speed ahead!"
After recovering, Gu Xi heavily patted the coffin lid, urging the evil coffin to find a way to increase its speed further.
Gu Xi already knew what had happened just now.
The Death Incarnation had perished.
When he initially attacked the wedding procession, Gu Xi had noticed that the groom was not particularly strong.
If Gu Xi hadn't been in a hurry, he could have stayed in place, waiting for the Death Incarnation to kill the groom before leaving.
However, he had just charged out, and the Death Incarnation was already dead.
If there hadn't been interference from someone else, Gu Xi wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Gu Xi had just leveled up, and his Death Incarnation was now at level 12, standing at the pinnacle of power in this world.
Moreover, given the traits of the Death Incarnation, if it weren't a powerful army or soldiers, it would have been impossible to force the Death Incarnation into its current state.
The Death Incarnation's demise was a reminder to Gu Xi that the enemy was very strong.
Understanding this, Gu Xi didn't look back at the situation behind him at all; he just urged the evil coffin to speed up even more.
The evil coffin's speed had actually reached its limit, but due to Gu Xi's demands, it started taking some unconventional routes.
For instance, what if it saw a snow seam on the ice?
Normally, it should have gone around it, but now it didn't care, and the evil coffin jumped right over it with a burst of speed.
Similarly, if there was a small hill, the evil coffin would typically go around it, but now it just charged straight over, enjoying the feeling of flying.
With this approach of running straight whenever possible, Gu Xi soon rushed out of the snowfield and saw the Dispersed Immortal Garden in the distance.
Although he hadn't arrived yet, the changing scenery in front of him told Gu Xi that he was on the right track.
In front of him was a forest located in the middle of the snowfield, where the trees had turned into purple crystals.
After entering the forest, the outside wind and snow couldn't blow in, and the temperature in the forest significantly increased.
In the forest, Gu Xi saw many wild animals that were also affected, such as deer with purple crystal antlers, purple rabbits, and beetles like ice sculptures.
There were also some flowers with purple crystals and grasses with purple dew on the roadside. Entering this forest, Gu Xi felt as if he had entered another world.
"Don't stay in the forest; you can't withstand its influence. Come in quickly."
While Gu Xi was observing the forest, a voice came from deep within the forest.
Gu Xi was startled and understood that this was a hero stationed here by the Sunshine Glory Guild.
So, Gu Xi hurriedly patted the coffin lid and headed towards the direction of the voice.
After bypassing some crystallized trees ahead, Gu Xi's eyes brightened, and a city hidden in the forest appeared before him.
The city in front of him was full of the style of an Eastern imperial mausoleum.
In the center of the forest was a large mound, 40 meters high.
All the city's buildings were built around the mound.
Only near the mound was everything unaffected by the purple crystals, maintaining their original colors.
Seeing the situation, Gu Xi understood that the purple crystallization in the forest was caused by some power suppressed underneath, seeping out.
Staying here long-term would surely lead to being contaminated by this power, eventually turning into a crystalized monster like those outside.
Only within the mound's area was it relatively safe, capable of blocking the effects of the leaking power.
However, the city's area did not seem very large.
The mound's protection only extended a thousand meters beyond it.
Although the mound covered a large area and expanded the safe zone, the usable land of the city was not much by comparison.
The buildings were mainly concentrated in the eastern and southern regions.
Various styles of buildings were clustered here.
Gu Xi entered from the west of the mound, where there were a few inconspicuous buildings and a large field of peculiar wheat.
This wheat was somewhat similar to Venus flytraps, emitting a special scent before maturing to attract various pests.
Once these pests touched the wheat, they would be stuck by its secreted mucus and become the wheat's nutrients.
Gu Xi couldn't help but admire this wheat.
The person who came up with this could be considered a highly skilled master.
This not only solved the wheat's fertilizer problem but also the pest problem. With just water, this wheat could be planted in large quantities without worrying about unsuitable growing conditions.
This environment made Gu Xi's eyes light up, and he even considered getting some seeds to plant in Aridowei City.
At this moment, the previous voice sounded again.
"Don't linger there, come to the south of the mound."
Gu Xi remembered his mission and hurriedly patted the coffin lid, directing the evil coffin towards the south of the mound.
As he advanced, Gu Xi kept observing the mound.
Ancient tombs might have different contents, but their above-ground styles were somewhat uniform—stacking as high and as pointed as possible, with different materials and decorations.
This mound looked like a pyramid made of dirt, maintaining the style of an Eastern mausoleum, with not a single blade of grass on it.
All the dirt was compacted tightly, so even strong winds and heavy rain couldn't significantly affect the mound.
This led Gu Xi to speculate about the identity of the tomb's owner.
To build such a large mound, the person buried beneath must have been of at least noble rank.
"Comrade, over here."
Before Gu Xi could determine the situation of the mound, the evil coffin had already reached the south of the mound.
This was the main urban area of the Dispersed Immortal Garden. Upon entering, Gu Xi saw a woman in a blue gauze dress waving at him.
The woman had a long sword as tall as herself on her back. When she waved, Gu Xi noticed that she was wearing silver-threaded gloves.

Let me ask you again, are you a player from the transport unit?"
