Chapter 70: The Black Forest
"Oh, Brother Jiang, I was just thinking, since it is so difficult to cast this technique, I wonder if Elder Shangqiu can open the door of the barren mound?"
Ye Xun came back to his senses, smiled, and suddenly said, This is indeed a doubt in Ye Xun's heart.
"Brother Night is too worried, there is no need to worry about this at all, the Luohe Chamber of Commerce and the Shadow Hall have probably calculated it a long time ago, although it is a little difficult to reluctantly use this magic to open the door of the barren mound, but if the two Spirit Sea Realm cultivators join forces, it can still be opened!"
Listening to Ye Xun's words, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, patted Ye Xun's shoulder, and said affirmatively.
Ye Xun and Jiang Yuan continued to raise their heads to stare at the changes in the eight black barren mound stone carvings in the air, and sure enough, as Jiang Yuan said, in less than half a pillar of incense, the eight black barren mound stone carvings in the air had grown to a height of ten zhang, and the coercion emitted had reached an astonishing level.
And the height of ten zhang seems to be an extreme, the eight black barren mound stone carvings finally stopped growing, and the black light on them was also rich to the extreme at this moment, like a small black sun, stabbing people can't open their eyes.
"Boom!"
The light carved on the eight black barren mounds suddenly condensed and converged at a certain moment, and in just a few breaths, it condensed into beams of light. Eight huge pillars of black light, as if they were being pulled by some kind of traction, suddenly blasted towards a certain space in the valley, accompanied by an earth-shattering loud sound, that space was actually broken, producing an extremely obvious spatial crack.
However, this was only the beginning, as Elder Shangqiu and Deputy Hall Master Qian Yong continued to play one trick after another, the pillars of light that erupted from the black barren mound stone carvings also continued to bombard the shattered space, and the spatial crack expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon formed a huge portal several zhang wide.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the portal to enter the barren mound has been opened, everyone hurry up and enter, with the energy of me and Deputy Hall Master Qian and the eight barren mound stone carvings, it can only last for one month, after one month, no matter what, everyone must come out, otherwise this entrance will be closed, and everyone can only be trapped in the barren mound forever!"
Seeing that this forcibly broken spatial crack portal was gradually stabilizing, Elder Shangqiu began to urge Ye Xun and the others, urging everyone to enter the barren mound.
And at the moment when the space portal opened, a number suddenly jumped out on the Keqing Elder Token on Ye Xun and the others, which was exactly thirty. This change made Ye Xun and the others stunned, not knowing what this thirty meant.
"There is no day or night in the barren mound, so there will be a constantly changing countdown number on top of everyone's Elder Token, thirty represents a month and thirty days, and when the number becomes zero, it is when the portal is about to close. ”
As if he had guessed the doubts in the hearts of Ye Xun and the others, Elder Shangqiu explained while urging Ye Xun and the others to enter the barren mound.
"Damn, it turns out that opening the barren mound portal turned out to be a forcible break through the space!"
Not to mention Ye Xun, even Jiang Yuan was also stunned by the scene in front of him, everyone didn't expect that the so-called opening of the entrance to the barren mound was actually to use the energy of the barren mound stone carvings to forcibly break open a space.
Looking at the huge, swarthy entrance of the space crack in front of them, Ye Xun and the others were a little hesitant, space and time were originally the most mysterious existence in this martial arts world, the space crack, even if it was a cultivator, they did not dare to enter it easily, God knows whether it would be life or death after entering the entrance of this space crack.
For a while, Ye Xun and the others were stunned in the local area, and no one dared to be the first to enter.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
The first to react was the descendants of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, and under the order of Elder Shangqiu, one by one without any hesitation, they directly entered the space portal that was forcibly broken in the valley.
"Hahaha, boys, this spatial door to enter the barren mound has been opened, there are only thirty days to enter it, oh, entering it is the path of trial, as long as the person who passes the path of trial, can reach the core of the barren mound. Remember my words, at all costs, enter the core of the barren mound before the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, and then the Shadow Hall will definitely be rewarded!"
Compared with Elder Shangqiu, Qian Yong, the deputy hall master of the Shadow Palace, is much simpler and more straightforward, and directly informs the space portal that after the path of trial is the path of trial, only through the path of trial can he enter the core area of the barren mound, and he even bluntly said that in order to enter the core area of the barren mound first, he can do whatever it takes, and naturally includes killing.
This is also the style of the Shadow Palace, survival of the fittest, unscrupulous means for the sake of the end, the typical spirit of the law of the jungle, and also the rules of this martial arts world.
"Rush, kill!"
Although the number of people in the Shadow Hall is small, only half of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, but the battle intent and murderous aura on the body are not comparable to the people of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, with Qian Yong's order, the disciples of the Shadow Palace, without the slightest hesitation, rushed towards the black space portal in the valley.
"After entering the barren mound, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities, and those who have passed the path of trials and entered the core area of the barren mound, my Luohe Chamber of Commerce will not treat everyone badly!"
Looking at the murderous Shadow Hall disciples, the momentum of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce was obviously suppressed, and Elder Shangqiu also hurriedly encouraged Elder Keqing such as Yexun. Although the Luohe Chamber of Commerce is not afraid of the Shadow Hall and the major clans and tribes of the Desolate Clan behind it, it is based on the foundation of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce.
The history of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce for hundreds of thousands of years is enough to cultivate generations of super strong and masters, but now the upper echelons of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce and the upper echelons of the Shadow Hall have reached some kind of compromise, the real powerhouses cannot be opponents, and only the innate and spiritual sea realm disciples at the grassroots level can be dispatched.
The Luohe Chamber of Commerce is not afraid of the Shadow Hall and the Desolate Clan in terms of combat power, but it is much weaker in terms of grassroots disciples, who makes the main business of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce still the various business operations on the surface, and the fighters behind it are more to safeguard the interests of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, how can it be compared with the Shadow Hall that shouts and kills all day long.
As a last resort, the Luohe Chamber of Commerce gave full play to its financial advantages and recruited a large number of Ye Xiu as guest elders, hoping to make up for the lack of quality with quantity, anyway, in the agreement with the Shadow Palace, there was no limit to the number of people who could enter the barren mound.
This is also the consistent strategy of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, and it has even been tried and tested, it can be said that the Luohe Chamber of Commerce is to use money to smash people.
However, there are also shortcomings in recruiting Ye Xiu as Elder Keqing, Elder Keqing is originally taking people's money, and eliminating disasters with people, the sense of belonging is definitely not comparable to the formal disciples of the Shadow Palace, but the enthusiasm and discipline of the descendants of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce are much higher than those of Ye Xun, and they continue to rush towards the spatial crack portal in the valley without the slightest fear.
According to the agreement between the Shadow Hall and the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, before entering the barren mound, the disciples of both sides were not allowed to fight head-on, so although the valley was crowded and seemed to be chaotic at this time, it was also orderly, and no battle took place.
"Fight!"
Everyone knows that at this time, it is impossible to quit, although they know that they are working hard for the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, but the Luohe Chamber of Commerce has indeed paid a lot of price. Taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others, wild cultivation also has to pay attention to professional ethics.
The other Luohe Chamber of Commerce Elders who were still hesitating, I don't know who took the lead, also followed behind those Luohe Chamber of Commerce disciples and entered the huge spatial crack in front of them.
Since someone took the lead, the others did not dare to hesitate, and successively chose to enter the seemingly terrifying spatial crack in front of them, and Ye Xun was naturally no exception, following Jiang Yuan and the others, and directly stepped in.
The entrance to the huge spatial rift, like the opening of a giant beast of the wilderness, seemed to be choosing people to devour. And the moment Ye Xun stepped into the portal of the spatial crack, he instantly felt a sense of dizziness that swirled around the world, this feeling Ye Xun was very familiar, it was the feeling and reaction of spatial teleportation, which made Ye Xun more and more convinced that the barren mound was indeed an independent small space as Jiang Yuan said before.
The dizziness of this spatial teleportation came and went quickly, and after a few breaths, Ye Xun's eyes were no longer the previous black valley and black spatial rift portal, replaced by an endless black primeval forest.
"This ......"
Looking at the black forest in front of him, a faint sense of desolation and coldness faintly came, and at a glance, he knew that this black forest was probably not a good place, full of danger and murder.
Ye Xun was a little dumbfounded, didn't it mean that after entering the barren mound, it was the path of trial, the first challenge on the road of trial was the Black Wind Desert, how did it become a forest, the difference between this forest and the desert, but it was a bit too big.
"Brother Jiang, Qiu Lao, how did this Black Wind Desert become a Black Forest?"
Because there was an agreement a long time ago, Ye Xun, Jiang Yuan, Qiu Lao, Chiyun and others all entered the door of space together, so after a short period of spatial teleportation, several people did not disperse, even if they were in this black forest, they were still together.
The expressions of the other people were not much different from Ye Xun, and they all turned their heads to look at Qiu Lao and Jiang Yuan, after all, this joint action plan was planned by Jiang Yuan and Qiu Lao.
"This ...... According to the internal information of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, the last time I entered, it was clear that the first test on the path of trials was in the Black Wind Desert, how did it become a black forest this time! Maybe there were some changes in the barren mound that we didn't know about, maybe the test in the rude path was not fixed in the first place. ”
Jiang Yuan was also not sure, the black forest that suddenly appeared in front of him was also a little unexpected, and for a while, the second monk was a little confused, so he could only guess.
Jiang Daoyou is right, no one really understands this barren mound, maybe it is the change of the barren mound itself. But no matter how it changes, we need to make our way through this black forest to have a chance to enter the heart of the barren mound, and everything we want can only be obtained there. ”
Facing the black forest in front of him, Qiu Lao's expression was also extremely solemn, he was a Linghai Realm cultivator, although his strength was the highest among the Yexun people, but among the disciples of the entire Luohe Chamber of Commerce and Elder Keqing, as well as the many disciples of the Shadow Palace, he did not dare to say that he was the strongest, because there were other Linghai Realm cultivators, and there were quite a few of them, and Qiu Lao was not sure of victory.
Sure enough, although this black forest is extremely vast, but because it is the same space gate entering, the distance after everyone teleportation is not too far, and around a few people in the night search, there are already many people who entered first, including the disciples of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce and the elders of Keqing, as well as the people of the Shadow Palace.
Everyone seems to have a tacit understanding, the people of the Shadow Hall and the Luohe Chamber of Commerce are divided into two distinct groups, and there are hundreds of meters between them, but everyone seems to be taking pictures of the possible crisis in the black forest in front of them, no one dares to rush in, and of course no one dares to take the initiative to provoke disputes.
Although everyone knows that after entering the barren mound, in addition to the crisis in the barren mound, the greater danger and challenge still come from others, although the Shadow Hall is an opponent, but within the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, it is not a monolith, for the sake of interests, internal cannibalism is not a new thing.
Although the fight and slaughter are already doomed, no one wants to start as soon as they enter the barren mound, which will only become the target of public criticism, and it is likely to become the first wave of cannon fodder.
"Hmph, Luohe Chamber of Commerce, although there are many people, it is just a plate of loose sand, in this black forest, we are waiting for you, I hope that your blood and corpses will not become fertilizer to feed this black forest!"
Although the number of people in the Shadow Hall is small, the organization and discipline are much higher than those of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, and the leaders of several Shadow Hall disciples glanced coldly at Ye Xun and the others, hesitated slightly, and directly stepped into the black forest in front of them, and after a few breaths, they had already disappeared into the depths of the vast black forest.
"Shadow Palace, could it be that they know the details of this black forest? Damn, it's really hateful, for the Luohe Chamber of Commerce didn't tell us this in advance!"
Looking at the reactions of the people in the Shadow Palace, Ye Xun and the other Ye Xiu quickly realized that although the people of the Shadow Hall were also extremely afraid of the black forest in front of them, they were obviously prepared, and they obviously knew that there would be a black forest on the trial path within the barren mound. But these things, whether it is the Luohe Chamber of Commerce or Elder Shangqiu, they didn't mention it in the slightest, how could they not let Ye Xun and others make a fire.
