Unknowingly, it seemed a long time had passed.

The thought of catching up with the three ahead had almost become a luxury.

These past days, Zhao Sheng and the four of them would rest when tired and continue running when rested.

It seemed as though some mysterious force was subtly influencing them, urging them to keep moving along the corridor, running and running...

"Huff... huff~ I... I can't run anymore, need a rest!"

At some point during their journey, Bo Hua Wanderer suddenly stopped, planting his hands on his hips, panting heavily.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng and the three others had to stop as well, each of them breathing slightly.

Compared to before entering the corridor, Bo Hua Wanderer was noticeably thinner, with his cheekbones jutting out, his face as pale as paper, almost devoid of blood.

Zhao Sheng glanced at the others, noticing that Gong Sanzhang had also lost weight, but his complexion was still fine.

Even though Sha Jiutong was the largest among them, he was in much better shape than Bo Hua Wanderer, looking as though nothing had affected him.

Through these days of close interaction, Zhao Sheng had learned some of Sha Jiutong's "secrets."

This person had a unique constitution, being an outcast of half-human half-corpse nature. Due to half-corpse constitution, Sha Jiutong had the least need for food.

Yet the most unpredictable among the four was the Black Monk in his dark monk's robe.

This black-faced old monk had startling endurance, having the shortest rest periods among them, and was almost never seen eating.

However, the Black Monk's condition was surprisingly good, seemingly better than Sha Jiutong by a bit.

As for himself...

Zhao Sheng casually took out a pill bottle from his chest, pouring out two top-grade Grain Avoidance Pills, swallowing them down in one gulp.

In an instant, a large amount of warmth spread from his stomach to his limbs and bones, greatly alleviating his hunger, which soon disappeared.

Bo Hua Wanderer watched with eager eyes and quickly tried to butter him up, "Bai Mei, my friend, I'm about to starve! Give me a Fasting Pill to fill my stomach!"

"Oh, could it be that Bohua's Heavy Spirit Paste is all gone?" Zhao Sheng's gaze fell on his waist, he asked indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Bo Hua Wanderer's expression instantly changed, instinctively covering his belt. Inside was his life-saving "food."

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly at this, stepped to the corridor wall, leaned against it, and began to meditate with closed eyes.

Not far away, Gong Sanzhang sat against the wall, then quietly took out a milky white Spirit Pill, and swallowed it.

The Black Monk, sitting cross-legged, didn't seem to eat any food or elixirs.

Sha Jiutong chuckled, shaking his head as he walked to the side, without concerning himself with the other two.

Seeing this, Bo Hua Wanderer's face turned as black as iron, glaring fiercely at Zhao Sheng before quickly running far ahead, almost disappearing from sight.

This kind of sneaky behavior, he had done many times before. Zhao Sheng and the others were used to it.

"Taoist Sha, this place is getting more bizarre. Over these days, we've run nearly a hundred thousand miles. Yet not only haven't we caught up with those ahead, but the corridor before us also remains the same. There's definitely something suspicious here!"

Zhao Sheng said, turning to look at the Black Monk and Gong Sanzhang, "Master, Taoist Gong, have you noticed anything unusual?"

"Hehe, there are too many strange things here! For instance, the corridor's length, width, and height are all an inch more than when we came in. And we haven't found any marks along the way. Also... the speed at which our primordial energy depletes is accelerating..." Sha Jiutong continuously pointed out the oddities with a carefree laugh, as if he didn't care about life or death.

Zhao Sheng and the others listened quietly, then Gong Sanzhang suddenly spoke, "I'm tired, don't want to pursue anymore. I'm quitting, anyone want to join me?"

At these words, Zhao Sheng and the other three had varied expressions.

"Taoist Gong, won't you hold on for a few more days? We might be near the end." Sha Jiutong put away his smile and advised seriously.

Gong Sanzhang stood up, eyes firm, shaking his head as he said solemnly, "I see it as a death trap!"

"My fellow Taoists, this is where we part ways! I sincerely hope you return alive. Farewell!"

After speaking, Gong Sanzhang clasped his fists towards Zhao Sheng and the others, then clung to his Snake Blade and dashed back the way they came.

"A wise man indeed!" Zhao Sheng watched his gradually disappearing figure, nodding in silent approval.

"Hehe, now there are only four of us left, I wonder who's next to bow out?" Sha Jiutong shook his head, unconcerned, with a teasing laugh.

"Infinite Immortals and Buddhas! Everyone has their own aspirations, no need to force." The Black Monk raised his palms in greeting.

At this, the atmosphere turned silent, and the three of them each exerted their efforts to restore their primordial energy.

An hour later, they silently stood up, transforming into flickering shadows, darting swiftly forward.

Twenty or more miles passed in a flash.

At the front of the corridor, Bo Hua Wanderer's figure swiftly emerged.

At this moment, he was half-squatting, half-kneeling, inspecting something on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng's heart couldn't help but quicken, immediately accelerating his speed.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived behind Bo Hua Wanderer, looking down at the ground together.

On the ground... was a pale bone, half a foot long and as thick as an arm, seemingly part of someone's forearm.

Most notably, the surface of this arm bone was covered in dense bite marks, as if someone had gnawed on it alive.

"Hmm, someone got eaten!"

"Infinite Immortals and Buddhas!"

"Indeed! But this bone is severely decayed, the owner must have died many years ago!" Zhao Sheng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the bone several times, he said calmly.
