Chapter 55: All the Way North
"Before entering, infuse the badge with spiritual power and open the protective barrier. In addition, no one in the passage is allowed to fight for any reason, otherwise they will bear the consequences. Those who do not believe in evil can try it on their own. ”
Was this a warning to him? Or was it a reminder to him? Qin Fan didn't know, but he decided to abide by it.
While walking through the strange and uncertain, somewhat similar to the energy gate in the game on Earth, walking in the distorted energy channel, Qin Fan felt a strong sense of suffocation and tearing.
If it weren't for the request of the cheap master, he would have been sent to the Yanlong Badge to infuse spiritual power, and the protective power transmitted from it would protect him. Qin Fan knew that with his current level, he would definitely not be able to pass through this passage alive.
After walking out of the passage, they came to another small world.
In the secret territory, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the aura is abundant, and every cell in the body is cheering.
Comfortable!
Compared to cultivating outside, it can be about four or five times faster.
It is preliminarily estimated that even if you don't look for treasures, you can improve at least one level just by cultivating in situ here.
Qin Fan looked around at his surroundings, as if he was in an African savannah.
The endless grass at a glance, the warm and just right amount of sunlight, made Qin Fan really want to lie on the grass immediately, sleep comfortably, and forget about these battles.
When the last person entered, the door to energy was closed.
The people of the Immortal Palace and other big forces seemed to have some special purpose after entering the secret realm, and under the leadership of their respective leaders, they broke away from the large army for the first time, and each showed his own methods, and scattered in all directions in the stirring of spiritual power.
The team of three hundred people went their separate ways, and in the blink of an eye, only half of them remained.
Other small and medium-sized people gathered together, as if they were discussing something in a low voice. Qin Fan couldn't hear it, and he didn't bother to care, because Qin Fan's eyes were always staring at Qin Shiyi.
Qin Shiyi seemed to be looking for something, he stood still and didn't move, he didn't move, of course Qin Fan didn't move.
After a brief discussion, those people seemed to have reached a cooperation agreement and dispersed in teams.
Those who obtained qualifications through Wu Zhuangyuan also dispersed in a hurry, as if they were afraid that they would fall behind and lose their treasures.
The strong man who was invincible in defense hesitated for a moment, scratched his head, and ran away.
The rest seems to be only the small forces from all sides and Qin Fan, and the total number of people is only about thirty.
But Qin Fan felt that something was not quite right, and as for what was wrong, he couldn't say it. It's just that my mind is a little restless, as if something bad is about to happen.
"Brother Qin, if you want to take revenge, it's better to take advantage of it now. Xiao Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Leng Qian was even more straightforward, directly holding the hilt of the sword, and posing as an attack at any time.
As long as you kill him, you will naturally take away his opportunity.
But when Qin Fan hesitated for a while, opened his mouth, and was just about to say a good word, the Frost Sword suddenly trembled in Qin Fan's palm, and then her voice sounded anxiously in Qin Fan's heart: "Qin Fan, don't think about revenge yet, there will be many opportunities in the future, hurry up, the farther away from that portal, the better." The door was unstable, as if it was about to explode!"
Turning his head behind him, he saw that the energy gate was indeed fluctuating unsteadily.
It turned out that the heart-pounding feeling in my heart just now actually came from this.
"Go first! there's danger. ”
Qin Fan took a step, beckoned his companions around him, and ran out of hundreds of meters. It wasn't until the uneasiness in his heart subsided that he slowly stopped.
At this moment, with a loud bang, the energy gate behind him exploded.
Including Qin Shiyi and the others who stayed there last, all of them were covered by the huge explosion.
The explosion was only a matter of moments, and after the energy surge, the savannah returned to calm. But Qin Shiyi's group of people disappeared and there was not a single one left.
Qin Fan is sluggish, won't he just die, right? But the system didn't give him a reward reminder.
"Dead?" Leng Qian also asked in surprise.
"No, they must have done it on purpose. Probably to get somewhere else faster, I noticed when I came that there wasn't only one way in the passage. Xiao Mu said thoughtfully: "That energy portal should have slowly disappeared after it was closed, but these people forcibly detonated it through some means. Then, at the moment of the explosion, they returned to the space passage. ”
Leng Qian stiffened her face and said coldly: "Cunning." ”
Qin Fan nodded sympathetically, what made him most depressed was that he had lost Qin Shiyi's trace so quickly.
Xiao Mu said again: "In any case, we have no way out, we can only move on." Brother Qin, which way are you going? If it wasn't for your timely reminder just now, I'm afraid we would inevitably be injured, but I still want to hear your opinion. ”
Leng Qian didn't speak, just looked at him.
Qin Fan thought about it again and again, and finally decided to choose the same direction as the group of people from the Immortal Palace.
Because, they are at odds with the royal family, and the purpose of their coming here may be to make trouble.
Following them, it is impossible to say that Qin Shiyi may be found, because Qin Shiyi was obviously bribed by the royal family.
"All the way north!"
"Okay, then go north! Hurry up, our strength is weaker than the people in the Immortal Palace, and our speed is also slow, and we are much later than them. If you don't hold on to it, you may not even be able to see their shadows. ”
The three of them galloped wildly for more than an hour.
It wasn't until the physical and spiritual consumption were about to reach a critical point that they finally walked out of the prairie in the secret realm.
The first withered tree, the pale yellow with a sad color, appeared in Qin Fan's sight, replacing the original green and vibrant grassland.
Qin Fan stopped and looked at his surroundings vigilantly.
Here, it's a bit like a desert.
Scattered trees, all dry and dead.
The yellow sand is blown by the wind and flies everywhere.
"The spiritual power here has suddenly become so weak, Brother Xiao Mu, do you know what this represents?" Qin Fan asked.
Xiao Mu squinted his eyes and said casually: "Two possibilities." First, deep in front of here, there may be a certain incredible treasure, this treasure has absorbed all the spiritual power of the entire area, and for a long time, even the environment of this area has been changed. ”
"The second possibility is that this area is a dangerous Jedi in the secret realm. ”
"Dangerous Jedi, what do you mean?" Qin Fan asked again.
Xiao Mu explained: "The secret realm is a small world, which is completely set up by the owner of the secret realm at will. Usually they will hide their mansion or treasure or inheritance inside, and then set up some tests. Some people may play a prank and deliberately set up a death zone for the intruder to die, and then there is nothing inside. In order to prevent their treasures from being coveted, some people set up a lot of killing opportunities. It's hard to say. ”
"Footprints!" Leng Qian rushed forward and pointed to the footprints on the ground to greet the two.
Qin Fan looked at these scattered footprints and said thoughtfully: "Immortal Palace...... They're supposed to be in there, right?"
"yes, these footprints are new. We were lucky not to fall too far, so there's nothing to hesitate about, just be careful!"
The environment has changed, not only has the spiritual power weakened, but even the fresh air has become turbid, and the heart seems to be covered with a layer of cloth, which is depressing. As I continued to track my footsteps, the original joy gradually disappeared.
Because they found that after chasing, the footsteps disappeared, and were covered by the whistling yellow sand!
When the three of them raised their vigilance and continued to move forward for a long time, it was not until it was dark that a new change finally appeared.
There is more and more yellow sand, and it is a bit inclined towards desertification.
This time, even the dead trees began to disappear.
However, there is an extra kind of corpse similar to a large scorpion on the ground, one by one, and the number is even hundreds, and there are also more traces of battle.
It's just that many of the corpses of large scorpions have been half-buried in the yellow sand.
"I finally saw it again, and it was still the Immortal Palace, which seemed to have been attacked by these things. But judging from the traces of the battle, a long time has passed, and instead of closing the distance, we have been thrown farther away. ”
Needless to say, Qin Fan also realized this, the people of the Immortal Palace were numerous and powerful, and their understanding of the secret realm seemed to be very deep, they didn't seem to stop along the way, and went straight to their destination.
Like them, due to their lack of understanding of the secret realm, their lack of strength, and their lack of numbers, they must be careful and vigilant.
If it weren't for the system, which could act as a compass, the immutable scenery alone would be enough to make people lose themselves and lose sight of the road and direction.
No, at least Miss Leng Qian has already been dizzy and can't tell the difference between north and south.
"We can't go any longer tonight. Xiao Mu sighed: "Even if you will completely lose the traces of the disciples of the Immortal Palace, you can't continue." It's late, it's late, and God knows if there is some kind of murder hidden in this night. And there are already large numbers of scorpions, and there will definitely be more ahead. We don't have to take that risk. ”
Qin Fan nodded in agreement, Leng Qian didn't care, she was like a follower, and she didn't come to the secret realm to capture treasures, just to train herself.
"These scorpions, I'm afraid they can't be eaten, they're poisonous. Xiao Mu sighed while inspecting, and took out some food and water from the large package he was carrying, he was like the eldest brother of the three, responsible for taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, and distributed it to Qin Fan and Leng Qian. "You guys take a break for a while, it's been a hard day. I'm going to find a way to make a fire that will be safer at night. ”
"As for the food, we have to save some food and drink, because I didn't expect the environment here to be so harsh, I couldn't find anything, and I didn't prepare enough. I hope that after getting out of this desert, I can get some food and water supplies. ”
Qin Fan looked at Xiao Mu's back, opened his mouth slightly, and immediately let out a sigh, and there was a trace of guilt in the sigh.
I felt guilty about the change in my previous opinion of him.
He's in the valley realm, why did he go out of his way to prepare food and water?
