The truly terrifying things were the dangers that nobody knew about, because that meant that nobody had managed to survive those things.

After centuries and centuries of searching, as well as hundreds of valiant and intelligent men later, hadn't anybody successfully found the Longevity Pond?Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Greedy Wolf didn't think this would go on forever. Someone would definitely find it someday, and that someone was going to be him!

The two of them continued treading carefully. Jiang Ning was now in front while Greedy Wolf was following behind him. Neither dared to let their guard down at any time and kept a close eye on everything around them. They were afraid to miss out any detail.

Jiang Ning looked at his surroundings and used formation lines to analyze them and chose the safest passageway ahead.

He no longer saw the flora and fauna as flowers and birds, but dozens of formation lines put together.

He began to slowly discover that these formation lines could be sorted into different types. With that in mind, Jiang Ning had an idea.

"This side," he walked as he pointed out the next direction. "Then this side."

"Two steps in this direction, take one step back, jump!"

Greedy Wolf had no idea what Jiang Ning was doing, but he had no choice but to follow. Nothing bad happened along the way and they didn't run into anything.

But Jiang Ning was taking a rather strange route, as if he was purposely trying to avoid something.

Finally, the two of them walked out of the forest. They couldn't help but take a deep breath to ease their earlier tension.

"We've finally come out of the forest." Jiang Ning looked into the distance. After coming out of the forest, they weren't faced with a new forest but a patch of land covered in rocks and stones.

Large and small boulders were found all over the vast land, with some boulders as high as three stories, and others as small as a fist. They were scattered all over, as if an explosive had blasted this place into rubble.

"What were you doing just now?" asked Greedy Wolf. "I could see that you seemed to be avoiding something. Was there something in that forest that I couldn't see?"

Jiang Ning turned to look at him. "And did you think I'd tell you?"

"Humph!" Greedy Wolf was displeased but he couldn't express it at all. It was true that he had asked a stupid question. Even if Jiang Ning knew the answer, he wouldn't tell him either. Jiang Ning was probably more than happy to kill him instead.

"If you beg me, I might just tell you," said Jiang Ning with a smile.

"Jiang Ning!" Greedy Wolf glared at him. "Please be serious! We are NOT friends, and I can tell you right now that once we find the Longevity Pond, you are definitely going to die. I am going to kill you with my own bare hands!"

"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Ning remained as nonchalant as before, while Greedy Wolf was hopping mad by now.

He had lived for so many years and had never come across someone with Jiang Ning's temperament before. Talking to Jiang Ning would really drive him to an early grave instead. "You..." Greedy Wolf yelled, "I'm not joking with you!"

"I know." Jiang Ning nodded. "Didn't we already talk about this before?"

"Only one person can use the

Longevity Pond at one time. If you

don't kill me, you won't get the

chance to use it." He looked at Greedy Wolf. "But there's no point in saying all this now too, since you won't kill me. If you kill me now, you won't find the

pond, right?"

Greedy Wolf shook his head and didn't want to waste his saliva on Jiang Ning anymore.

He was more afraid that he would die being too angry with Jiang Ning before he even caught a glimpse of the Longevity Pond.

They were supposed to be foes and their cooperation was only temporary. They would always be enemies!

One was definitely going to die by the other's hand sooner or later.

"How do we continue from here?" asked Jiang Ning.

"Why are you asking me?" Greedy Wolf snorted. "You're the one leading the way now! I'm following behind you!"

"Aren't you afraid that I might suddenly leave you behind and look for the pond myself?"

Greedy Wolf took a deep breath as his back heaved in anger. He opened his mouth and pointed at Jiang Ning because he really wanted to curse at the younger man, but he stopped himself in the end.

"Fine, I'll walk in front!"
