Chapter 319 He's Become a Cute Boy [Dear readers, please vote for me!]

"What?! My battle aura is unusable! What kind of hellhole is this?!"

One player exclaimed in surprise and looked around.

He noticed that the other players around him also looked like they had seen a ghost, and he immediately realized that he wasn't the only one who was an exception.

Bai Ye gently stroked his long, dark hair, feeling the heavy pull of his waist-length hair after becoming a mortal again.

The realistic physics engine successfully taught Bai Ye a lesson.

"The Forbidden Land of the Ancient Wilderness, is this some kind of extremely dangerous place? Why is it called a Forbidden Land?" someone asked.

"Of course, for you, staying here will cause your life to slip away rapidly. The moment you step out of this forbidden area, you will be decades older, or you may even die," Bai Ye explained simply and calmly.

Upon hearing this, all the tourists' expressions changed drastically. Losing decades of lifespan, how much longer could they possibly live?

If the players remain calm and don't overthink it, they'll be able to recover their lost health in no time, given their abilities.

"By the way, the longer you stay, the older you'll get, so you'd better leave here as soon as possible," Bai Ye said with a slight smile.

"Where should we go? Let's get out of here quickly," a tourist said hurriedly.

Some players, relying on their excellent physical fitness and execution, climbed up an ancient tree.

Looking into the distance, one can vaguely see signs of human habitation in a place quite far away.

"Boss, just follow this road, it's the shortest shortcut."

"Let's go quickly then," a tourist urged, but the player ignored him and instead looked at Bai Ye, leaving the decision to him.

"You guys go first." Bai Ye looked at Ye Fan and said, "You stay here and do some things with me."

"Huh? I..." Ye Fan pointed at himself, at a loss for words, feeling as if his whole body had been pierced by a knife.

All the players stared coldly at Ye Fan with scrutinizing eyes, wanting to see what this kid was capable of.

"Yes, you stay." Bai Ye said calmly.

"If Ye Fan doesn't leave, I'll stay with him too." Pang Bo stepped forward, making the university group members sweat for him; this young man was no pushover.

"Don't be foolish." Ye Fan panicked when he saw that Pang Bo wanted to stay.

The stronger the bond between brothers, the less they should let him get involved in this mess. He quickly said to Bai Ye, "I'm willing to stay. Let the others go."

"Does this guy think I'm kidnapping him?" A black line appeared on Bai Ye's forehead as he said, "There's a big benefit coming up. If you want him to leave, I don't care."

"A huge benefit!!!" Ye Fan's eyes widened, his mind racing with ideas, but he immediately shook his head and changed his mind, saying, "Then no need."

Bai Ye nodded slightly, pointing to the tattered remains dragged out by the players, and said, "Give me the relic, and you can take all of these things if you want."

"Boss, we also want to stay..." A player approached with a smile, but was driven back by Bai Ye's cold gaze.

Not long after, once most of the people around had left, Bai Ye tossed the relic he had obtained from the players to Ye Fan, who hurriedly caught it.

"Immortal Master, what is this?" Ye Fan asked, holding the relic in his hands.

"It's just payment for helping out," Bai Ye said casually.

Without this guy, I could wander around for years and still not find the elixir of immortality left behind by a ruthless person.

"Help?" Ye Fan understood immediately. Bai Ye had specifically asked him to stay, so he must be someone who could be of some use. "What does the Immortal Master want me to do?"

"It's very simple, just wander around here," Bai Ye said.

"Go shopping?" Ye Fan and Pang Bo were both taken aback, not understanding the purpose of doing so.

"Yes, go wherever you want, I'll go with you," Bai Ye nodded gently.

Ye Fan, who had never heard of such a request before, was completely baffled, but the ease of the matter did put his mind at ease.

Next, Bai Ye followed Ye Fan and wandered aimlessly through the desolate ancient forbidden land.

They may seem to be taking a leisurely stroll, but every minute they spend is equivalent to seven or eight days of their lives being sacrificed.

After realizing this, Ye Fan and Pang Bo walked around with trepidation, fearing that they might turn into skeletons and die on the road.

For the first time, the two felt immense pressure, realizing how much time had been wasted.

On the way, they also saw the ancient forbidden stone tablet, confirming that what Bai Ye said was true.

Soon, a minute passed... ten minutes passed... an hour passed...

Just when Ye Fan thought he was going to grow old and die in this place, Bai Ye's calm voice rang out: "Found it."

"Finally found it." The huge weight was lifted off their shoulders.

Looking around, one can see several old vines as thick as buckets encircling the open space, inside which is a square spring pool about one meter in size. Around the pool, thirteen low trees each have a bright red fruit hanging from them.

"Immortal Master, is this the elixir of immortality you spoke of?" Ye Fan asked, having inquired about what they were looking for along the way.

Bai Ye, whose physique had returned to that of a mortal, nodded gently, walked forward, picked three fruits, and swallowed them directly.

As the sweet juice of the fruit flowed in his mouth, Bai Ye's eyes narrowed slightly in comfort, and his determination to find a chef whose cooking was comparable to drugging grew stronger.

Watching Bai Ye enjoy the fruit like a lazy cat, the two subconsciously swallowed. They had barely eaten anything since they started climbing the mountain and were starving.

After swallowing the three fruits, Bai Ye walked towards the divine spring, drank four or five mouthfuls of water, and then stood up and said, "The rest are yours. Eat as much as you want."

After receiving Bai Ye's permission, the group quickly went up and stuffed the fruit and divine spring water into their mouths. Although they were eating what Bai Ye had left over, they didn't mind at all.

This is an elixir of immortality, something that can extend one's life by many years. They'd even take leftovers.

After a satisfying meal, the two put away the two remaining fruits and began to walk out of the forbidden area.

It seemed that because they had taken the elixir of immortality, they all had inexhaustible strength.

It only took them half a day to catch up with those who had left earlier.

"Boss, you're back!" the player exclaimed in surprise. "Is everything done?"

Bai Ye nodded slightly without making a comment, while Ye Fan and the others kept their thoughts to themselves and didn't speak to anyone.

After another hour's journey, and after climbing over a low hill, the tourists, panting and almost unable to support themselves, felt their bodies heat up, and then their skin turned as red as blood.

Immediately, they remembered what Bai Ye had said at the beginning: they had left the desolate forbidden land, and the horror of this forbidden land was beginning to show them.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Intense pain erupted from everyone's bone marrow, and wisps of blood oozed from their skin. Continuous screams roared from the tourists' mouths.

Only Bai Ye and a few other players maintained the same expression, demonstrating a normal tolerance for this kind of pain.

Two hours later, Bai Ye looked at his body, shrunk to that of a 14-year-old, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his youthful, handsome face: "Did we leave here too early?"
