Chapter 170: The battle begins
The unicorn turned to him and shook its head, but it lay down on the edge of the field, clearly determined to observe here.
Elder Punishment couldn't. The status of this Zhenshan Divine Beast in the Cloud Hall is higher than him, and the Cloud Sky Hall can firmly dominate the Seven Prefectures here and enjoy the tribute of immortal silver, which is also inseparable from the deterrent power of this Zhenshan Divine Beast.
"It can do whatever it likes. He thought to himself, and then yelled at the mortals: "Don't hurry in, the timer has already begun! Within ten days, if no one obtains five treasures, this secret realm will automatically close." Time is precious, what are you still doing here?!"
Urged by him, the mortals hurriedly walked into the secret realm. After a dozen breaths, all the mortals had finished, and the whole square fell silent. The elders of the four immortal sects instructed their disciples: "Watch the entrance, and come over to report when someone comes out!" and then rested on their own.
"Hostess, take care! Your own safety comes first, the moonlight cup is second, Lord Changtian will definitely be able to come up with other ways to preserve the aura!" After listening to Qi Qi's rare and solemn advice, Ning Xiaoxian held his breath and passed through the door of the secret realm. Well, it doesn't feel strange at all. She originally thought that passing through this kind of space-time gate would cause bodily dysfunction such as jet lag, but she didn't know that the space-time transmission of this fantasy world was so bad.
As soon as they entered the door, all the teams looked at each other and quickly separated. With a wave of their hands, their respective leaders disappeared into the woods with their teams.
Since they have come here, they are competitors, and it is better to keep a distance between them without figuring out each other's strength. The enemies of this secret realm are not only native monsters, but also these fellow humans from the same world. Killing each other is the instinct of all races, and humans are even more proficient in it.
Pang Hai and his team chose a direction and walked quickly, in order to distance themselves from the other teams first. Ning Xiaoxian looked up at the sun, and felt that the direction chosen by the leader was very different from the path on the treasure map. I couldn't help frowning, thinking about what opportunity to sneak away from the team. She joined this team, firstly, to be unobtrusive, and secondly, in the mortal world, there is indeed a lot of strength in numbers. But after entering here, the time to seize the treasure is measured in minutes and seconds, and if the moonlight cup is taken away in advance, it will be called a slap on her head.
The team walked for two quarters of an hour. It's a big swamp indeed, with dwarf, leafy trees, and aerial roots that can easily trip over if you're not careful. The ground is damp. There is a puddle of water that is large or small in a few steps. Occasionally, you can see the low mountains in the distance from between the forest leaves, and they are also lush and green.
No one in the team dared to take it lightly. Pang Hai walked at the forefront, holding a thick stick in his hand, and he had to poke the ground every few steps. The puddles here are all muddy, and who knows if there are poisonous snakes and insects hiding in them? Somewhere on the ground is not very solid. He probed like this for a short time, and he really found two or three swamps. If a man stands up. I'm afraid that my feet won't be able to pull it out, and I'll sink into the mud pond in about half a day, provided that it's not eaten by the monsters around here first.
Pang Hai whispered to Ning Xiaoxian: "Sanniang, distribute the pills to everyone." Hao Jing ranked third, and everyone in this team called her Hao Sanniang. In such an environment around the team, there are many poisonous insects and poisonous ants. She was in need of her detoxification and deworming pills.
These were prepared by her a long time ago, and Ning Xiaoxian didn't say much, so she took them out of her bag and distributed them to everyone. Another scout, Wang Yue, took it and smacked his lips, "Why is the pill a little sweet this time?"
She nearly stumbled under her feet. Sure enough, pretending to be someone else is such a thing, so that every detail can stand up to scrutiny. It's not easy. The pills she refined herself would be on the sweet side, because Miss Ning herself hated bitterness!
"This time, I put too much licorice, and it is not hindered by the effect of the medicine. She had no choice but to say in a hoarse voice.
Along the way, the people in the team are also constantly discussing. Pang Hai lowered his voice and said: "According to the map distributed by the Cloud Palace, the locations near here have been explored by the treasure hunters in the past, and there will be a small lake in front of it, let's cross it first and then think about it in the long run." "Although the scope of this secret realm is large, but the Cloud Sky Hall has sent people in more than ninety times, according to the oral description of the survivors, seventy or eight can also make up a map, of course, the reliability is not easy to say, after all, the immortal masters themselves do not have to come in to fight, it is mortals who work for them here.
Fortunately, this map is always improving, and the Cloud Palace, as the person in charge of the year, also hopes that the team he sends will be a little more competitive, so each team leader under his command has a map.
After walking for half an hour, a small lake suddenly opened up in front of me. Ning Xiaoxian looked at this lake and was not happy but worried.
The water is so muddy that the devil knows what's lurking inside. A few people searched around the lake and found a broken wooden valve, so they cut down the surrounding trees and repaired it. Wei Mazi in the team was originally a carpenter, so it was not too easy to do this simple wooden work that didn't even need to be planed, and the valve was tied up in a few efforts.
In fact, Wang Yue raised a different opinion, and for the sake of safety, he wanted to walk along the shore and bypass this lake, but Pang Hai shook his head and vetoed it after thinking about it. Judging from the experience of the predecessors, there have been no monsters in this lake, and they are in a hurry - they can't lose at the starting line, is this statement only valid for kindergarten children in China?
In this kind of team, the authority of the team leader cannot be challenged, so when Pang Hai said this, Wang Yue did not squeak. Several people climbed up the valve and paddled as briskly as they could to the opposite bank. If there are no accidents, it will arrive in about half an hour.
Ning Xiaoxian sat in the center of the valve, consciously staying away from the lake on both sides. Judging by the draught of the props, she could tell that the water here was at least four meters deep. Although the trees here are dense, you can't hear the croaking of frogs and insects and the noise of birds that are common in the jungle, and there is nothing to do to sit on this valve, and you feel that the surroundings are scary. "This place is absolutely not normal. She said to herself.
The sun is warm in the sky. When Ancestor Zhang Sheng saw the moonlight cup, there was also a bright moon in the sky. What does this mean? It shows that this secret realm is likely to still be on the Nanzhan Continent, but it has been circled by the great power with supernatural powers that she cannot understand, and used it as a secret realm to test mortals. What was the intention? She couldn't figure it out. But if this is the case, the creatures in the jungle should also be able to reproduce on their own, why is this jungle so ghostly and not like the human world?
Time passes in peace. There was a light mist in the swamp, and at this moment a gust of wind blew through the fog in front of him, showing that the opposite shore was not far away. This kind of quiet and silent environment is actually very torturous, the team members' nerves tense all the way, and at this time, they couldn't help but slow down, Wei Mazi stopped and waved the sweat on his head and said, "Great, it's almost there." ”
Before the words fell, Hao Sanniang, who had been silent for a long time beside him, suddenly reached out and pulled him. There was no warning at this moment, and he didn't expect this thin woman to have so much strength, her body tilted inward, and she almost fell down, and the whole wooden valve was bent in the water by such a belt.
"You ......" Isn't this woman crazy? He was anxious and angry, and was about to scold, but when he saw that the calm lake water suddenly split, a huge shadow shot out, and a big mouth stopped where he had just sat on the upper half of his body, and his mouth was full of sharp teeth, making a loud clicking sound, which was terrifying.
The shadow could have pounced further, but the wooden valve was crooked, and the long side struck it at once, blocking its upward trend.
He was now half-lying on his stomach, and the monster was simply pressing down on him, and the posture was indescribably humiliating and strange, but the people on the boat could not laugh.
This is actually a huge crocodile! The body buried under the water is not clear to see, but seeing that this head is at least one and a half meters long, Ning Xiaoxian speculates that its total length should not be less than seven meters!
The water here is not deep enough to raise giant fish, but it is still easy to ambush a giant crocodile with a flat stature.
This giant crocodile is not afraid of people, the first bite failed, and immediately opened his mouth sideways, wanting to bite Wei Mazi. Once the creature bites its opponent, it never lets go until it is dragged into the water and drowns its prey. How could Pang Hai next to him allow it to continue to hurt people? Flying up, he opened his arms and hugged him, and closed the mouth of the giant beast again.
He was experienced and knew that the crocodile was a creature with an amazing bite force, but the tension of reopening his mouth was not great, so he stretched his arms and held on to his hands, and the body of the giant crocodile fluttered in the water. The rest of the people were not vegetarians, so they drew their weapons and beckoned to the vital point of the giant crocodile.
Ning Xiaoxian was not idle, took out Hao Jing's long sword and chopped the throat of the giant crocodile a few times, and the wound spurted out of the stinking black blood, which made people feel sick. The crocodile's whole body was covered with scale armor, and only the belly had only fine scales, but these vital points were hidden in the water, so they had to take each other's throats out of their breath, and they had to be careful not to hurt Pang Hai. Everyone's weapons are smeared with toxins, and if they accidentally injure their own people, then they are called laughing and generous.
Wang Yue's short sword was obviously extremely sharp, and it stabbed through the left cheek of the giant crocodile and pierced out of the right cheek. The key point was hit, and the big guy redoubled his struggle, and thanks to Pang Hai's strength, he held on to the end. After more than a dozen breaths, the big guy finally didn't move.
The five men gasped and pushed the giant crocodile's body into the water. The foul blood spread out in the lake, attracting a large number of black shadows, and in an instant, the lake seemed to be boiling, and I don't know how many underwater creatures rushed to enjoy the feast!
Everyone didn't dare to delay, and took advantage of the fact that no other creatures paid attention to their efforts, and hurried to the other side of the bank. Wei Mazi gasped and hurriedly thanked "Hao Sanniang". If she hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, she would only have half of her body left.
Ning Xiaoxian shook his hand at him to show that the matter was not worth mentioning. (To be continued......)
