Chapter 787: Keep Deeper
Lao Wang asked, "How much time does it take?" and how much do you know about this underground world?"
The female ghost pondered for a moment and said, "This time is not very certain, it is possible to be as fast as a few hours, or as slow as three or five days." In addition, I don't know much about this underground world, and I only go a few kilometers deep into it, it's very big here, and the more you go inside, the more dangerous it is, there are not many spirit beasts, but there are a lot of poisonous insects, and there are indeed a lot of natural treasures here. ”
"Yes, you can rest assured, although your two companions have died, and you have also died, but you are now a ghost, and under safe conditions, ghosts can live forever in the underworld, and we will give you freedom and give you certain resources in the underworld, as a reward for your active cooperation. Lao Wang said.
The female ghost's eyes were a little confused, but seeing that we didn't ask any more, she didn't say anything, and directly turned into a ghostly light and disappeared into the golden leaf.
Sealing the gold leaf and putting it in my pocket, I said, "Well, let's go to the fruit tree and wait, I don't know how much time it will take, I hope it won't be too long." ”
Li Dadi laughed: "This trip has a lot of gains, let's wait for the fruit to ripen first, and then we will continue to look inside after the fruit is ripe, as for the secret realm, anyway, there is a map in hand, you can go whenever you want." ”
Lao Wang had already taken the map in his hand, and I also stepped forward to check it.
The map is not very detailed, but the general markers are also drawn, in which you can see the location of the portal of the Netherworld Proving Ground and the location of the entrance to the secret realm, and you can easily find the location of the secret realm according to the location of the portal and the surrounding terrain.
Back on the edge of the fruit tree, there were some corpses of poisonous insects that had been killed by the shadow before, many, very dense, it can be seen that they really had some broken jars and broken postures before, as if they didn't want to get what they couldn't get and didn't want us to get it.
But now that everything is done, the three beast masters have also paid the price with their lives for their recklessness, and the world of cultivators is so cruel, survival of the fittest.
According to the information I got before, I stepped forward to check, many of the gray-white fruits hanging on the fruit trees were only translucent gray-white, and most of them could not see any gray particles in them, but some of them had gray-white particles in them, so I reached out and took a fruit with particles and threw it into the open space outside Shumi.
Immediately after the fruit tree hit the ground, it began to take root and sprout, growing wildly, and in a matter of moments, it became a two-meter-tall spiral-shaped hard tree.
"Seems right, wait, now only a small part of the fruit is ripe. I said.
We sat down cross-legged on the edge of the fruit tree and began to recover from the previous battle.
The aura of heaven and earth here is not weaker than that above the ground, but it is much richer, plus our previous consumption is not large, and the recovery speed is also very fast.
Time passed slowly, and the doctor ghost went over from time to time to observe the ripeness of the fruit, while the shadow was responsible for the safety of the surroundings, protecting the three of us to cultivate here with peace of mind.
In a flash, it was two days, and some of the fruits on the fruit tree were ripe, but they were only halfway there, because we didn't know how many fruits would be needed to open the secret realm, so we continued to wait until the fruits were fully ripe......
Six days later.
"Looks like it's all right. ”
The voice of the doctor ghost came, and I opened my eyes to look at the fruit tree, and got up to check.
Indeed, compared to six days ago, gray-white particles have indeed appeared in the fruits of the fruit trees, and they have reached the level of falling roots.
"Are you all ready?" Li Dadi got up and asked.
I looked back and said, "Okay, let's collect it." ”
Quickly plucked the fruit from the fruit tree and counted them, there were almost 97 in total, but we wasted a lot before, otherwise there would have been more than a hundred now, but 97 is not a lot, it should be enough to open the secret realm.
Putting the fruit in the storage bag, it's time for us to get out of here.
This underground world should be very large, and we basically didn't move forward here, and now it's time to continue to look deeper.
After a simple rectification and a bite to eat, we moved on.
After meditating for six days in a row, I faintly felt that the spiritual power in my body had improved somewhat, becoming more vigorous, and all the meridians were filled with pure spiritual power, and my spirit had reached its best state.
Moving on, you can see some strange plants along the way, these plants are very different from the plants on the ground, probably because there is no sun and rain all day long, the plants grow in a variety of strange ways, just like the plants in some cartoons.
The surrounding plants are not dense, and there are no towering trees tens or hundreds of meters high, and the feeling of walking here is similar to the feeling of walking in a botanical garden, but there are so many reptiles here, if it weren't for the shadow that shrouds us all the time with a layer of yin, we really can't walk in such an environment so easily.
There are many reptiles here, and they are all poisonous, but the spirit beasts are really few and pitiful, and after walking thousands of meters away, I saw a few small beasts that looked like mice running by, and I didn't see any large beasts, monsters or spirit beasts.
As I walked, the sight around me gradually became darker, the number of fluorescent stones began to decrease significantly, and the surrounding plants began to show a miserable white, and the number dropped sharply, scattered around.
After a few thousand meters, we seemed to leave the botanical forest and came to an open field, and looking ahead, there was endless darkness a hundred meters away, and I didn't know how much area there was here, and I didn't know how many things were unknown here.
Suddenly there was a sense of loneliness and fear, but it was not very strong, maybe it was only darker than the underworld, as for the cold, it didn't feel anything, the underworld was much cooler than here.
"Where do we go next?"
I looked around, and in addition to the plant forest behind me, there was endless darkness on the left and right sides of the front, and I could only see the faint white light emitted by the fluorescent stone in a certain range.
"I don't know, let's investigate first. Lao Wang gestured to the doctor ghost, and the doctor ghost ran out directly.
The shadow didn't follow, but hovered a few meters above me, carefully watching its surroundings.
Standing here is a feeling of being at a loss, but this should only be a small range, if the rumors are true, we should be able to meet spirit beasts here, and meet strange heavenly treasures.
