Volume 2 Survival in the Forbidden Land Chapter 6 The Ancient Demon Forbidden
In the early morning, the dew condenses on the grass, refracting the warm sunlight and emitting a crystal clear halo, like a sparkling jewel.
Last night was even deeper, and that half-slope was not suitable for resting, so Ling Chen took them to a tree to rest. The fluffy dead leaves had not yet been completely decomposed, and a few people scraped a layer of the ground, collected a few dead leaves, and made a mattress at zero hour, on which it was quite pleasant to sleep on, better than sleeping in the wilderness with their knees hugged. Dead leaves had also been checked, and there were no animals in the bed with them. Like scorpions, centipedes, snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc., they like this environment the most. From this time on, Ling Chen had to teach them the survival skills he had learned from his eldest brother and others. In this primeval jungle, everyone has to start relying on each other and making progress with each other. There was one man who dragged his feet, and the damage to the team could be fatal. Of course, it is impossible for Ling Chen to say such words.
It wasn't early, and everyone was tired last night, so we slept in. Today, we are going to start talking about how to survive here, or how to be saved.
Ling Chen had already explored the surroundings in the morning, and there were no traces of the activities of large beasts, so it was relatively safe. Breakfast is also a piece of cooking cake for one person, and the drinking water is also sufficient, so there is no need to think about food for the time being. After breakfast, the five of them gathered and began to discuss their future plans.
"Let's start by clarifying the current situation. First, we don't know exactly where this is, which is the most important thing. Knowing the location, it is possible to think of a plan to be rescued. Here, the spiritual power will strangely disappear, and the surrounding area is a primeval jungle, danger is everywhere, and there are carnivorous beasts infested. After speaking, Ling Chen looked at everyone, "What do you have to say?"
Xu Ziqing said: "The demons and evils in this place can be screened according to their characteristics. There is a hundred flowers and fairy valley in the Tanglin region, known as the flower blooming for a hundred miles, and the immortals also dance, and one of the eight wildernesses is also located in it. Moreover, we also entered the teleportation array in Zhongning County, and these two areas are the most likely in terms of the current situation. ”
Ling Chen nodded in approval. As far as his eyes could see, he found that Ning Yuanru was thinking, so he said, "What does Yuanru think?"
When Ning Yuanru heard this, she bowed slightly and said, "There is nothing wrong with what Xu Ziqing said, Yuanru just wants to add another location." ”
Xu Ziqing's body couldn't help but shake up when he heard this, and his eyes widened: "You mean?"
"Ancient Demon Forbidden. Ning Yuanru said a place name.
As soon as these words came out, the other four were shocked. Ancient demons are forbidden, and it is rumored that in ancient times, demons were rampant, mutilating creatures in the earth. The Nine Saints fought to the death with the monsters, and at the cost of the Eight Saints, they completely annihilated the monsters. And the ancient battlefield is the place where the corpses of demons are disposed of, because the monsters are extremely powerful, and the power of flesh and blood erodes the land, it has turned into today's ancient demon forbidden. The demons and evil in this place are abnormal, and those who enter will lose the mana of the whole body, and even more so for those who are strong above the king realm, and the power of the law will be invalid. And this place is changeable, there is a great horror that ordinary people have not reached, and the time is evil. The Saint ordered a tight seal so that no one was allowed to set foot in this place. But for thousands of years, the ban has long been relaxed. It is found that this place is the best place to exercise the genius of the world, but anyone who can come out of this place alive will become the giants of the world.
At the beginning, the four courtyards used this place to train the world's talents and establish a space channel. The latter seven sects began to follow suit, and also established spatial passages for their disciples to practice and hone their bodies. However, because the ancient demon ban is too dangerous, the first-time entrants only know a little about this place, and it is easy to enter the forbidden area by mistake, and the casualties of the first batch of entrants are as many as more than ninety percent. As a public institution, the academy does not belong to a faction, and after a rigorous discussion, it was decided to close the passage to the Eternal Demon Forbidden. If the disciples of the academy go voluntarily, they can go to it in their own name through the space passage in the central square, and the academy can reimburse the cost of the transfer. However, the spatial passage was still retained in the Seven Gates, and the control of the disciples entering the Ten Thousand Ancient Demon Forbidden was becoming more and more strict. Even so, there were still countless cultivators who had entered the Eternal Demon Forbidden, and the casualties were still high.
Some people arrange the pattern of this world from one to nine, among them, one forbidden is the eternal demon forbidden.
"It's unlikely, the Ancient Demon Forbidden is in the Central Plains. Can we run so far in an instant?" Wang Qingyu said.
"There is nothing impossible, the spatial passage collapses, and if you encounter spatial turbulence, it is possible to be teleported to a farther place. And here, it is really impossible to use spiritual power, and the heavens and the earth can clearly feel it, but it can't be used. Based on this alone, the probability here is higher than that of the Tanglin Domain. Ling Chen said.
"If this is really the case, then there is a possibility that we will be saved..."Wang Qingyun muttered.
"Hardly. Xu Ziqing shook his head and said.
A few birds flew in the sky, and the blue sky was so clear and charming. The morning sun was warm, shining through the shade of the trees and falling on the corners of their clothes. Such a warm and tranquil picture could not dispel the cold that bordered on despair in their hearts.
——————
Zhongning County, the city lord's mansion.
A middle-aged man in a big red robe was doing the middle hall, making tea and tasting tea with an indifferent expression. The big red robe is the uniform uniform of the Peace Alliance, so it can be seen from the clothing alone that this person is the city lord of Zhongning County.
I only heard another hurried footsteps hurrying in.
"Oh, Brother Fuhe, it's all in this situation, you still have the heart to sit still. ”
The visitor was a little older, dressed in a reckless green robe, with his hair in a slightly messy bun and a slight sweat on his forehead. At this time, he was looking anxious, holding a thick stack of newspapers in his hand.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal him to take a seat. The person who came was not polite, and sat on it with a butt. The man known as Fuhe skillfully scooped a bowl of tea soup for him, and did not say much.
The visitor swallowed it like a whale sucking a cow, and then said: "It's all noisy outside, and you still have time to sit here and drink tea." You see, it's all about teleportation arrays. As he spoke, he casually flipped a page or two to a large stack of newspapers that had been placed aside, and pointed to it.
"I have reported this matter to the Alliance headquarters, and the Council of Elders will take care of it. As he spoke, Fu He drank all the tea soup in his hand, and added a spoonful to the man opposite and his teacup.
"I reported it along with this. As he spoke, Fuhe staggered away, revealing the letter raft on the side. The man was suspicious and grabbed him.
"Brother Fuhe, aren't you kidding? As soon as you leave, what can I do with such a big mess?" the man looked conflicted with a sad face and shaking the raft with his hands.
"Brother Liwei, can't you see clearly? This incident is definitely not something that you and I can bear. Wusha will definitely not be able to keep it, so it is better to admit your mistake quickly, and maybe you can fight for a leniency. What do you say?"
"The space passage was destroyed, Master Mingyin fell, and seventy-eight people were missing. What is this that is not a major crime of killing heads? You and I may be these two scapegoats. After that, Fu He shook his head lightly and continued to taste tea.
Liwei held the raft in his hand, and his face was cloudy. Only trembling hands can see his heart clearly at this time.
Today, there is shocking news in the Tanglin region. The space passage of Zhongning County was destroyed, and the person in charge, Master Mingyin, was counterattacked by the seal technique and fell, and the thirteen teams that participated in the selection of the Eastern Saint Academy, a total of seventy-eight people, were missing. Overnight, the news swept the world. The heat is no less than the last battle of Jingyuan, and it has once again become a casual conversation after tea and dinner.
Central Plains, Headquarters of the Peace Alliance.
The hall is bright and quaint, and there are no extravagant decorations. A huge round table with more than a dozen sandalwood seats. Other than that, there is no furniture, only a few simple carved beams and paintings to decorate the empty hall. Who would have thought that the decisions that affect the situation in the entire world would come from this quaint hall.
At this time, eight old men were sitting in it, and their faces were uncertain among each other. They are all dressed in white shirts, their hair and beards are white, and each of them is like an old fairy with wind and fairy bones, which makes people reverent.
"Xiao Heng has gone a little too far this time. One of the old men said.
"The tenth rune was stolen and a small village nearby was slaughtered. Among them, the Xiao family, the Nine Realms Chamber of Commerce, the Ten Murderers, and even the former Ling family were involved. The situation is changing, and the undercurrent is surging, but it is really lively. Another old man said.
"And then today's space passage has been destroyed, and Kui Niu has appeared. Two of the ten murderers have been released, and it seems that the seal there has long been loosened. ”
"All the clues are broken here, and the major forces are holding each other back, so it's hard to do anything. ”
"The Fuhe boy presented the letter of blame today, which is also his acquaintance. Externally, he was called ineffective and derelict in his duties, so he was removed. What do you think?"
"Mingyin's death is really regrettable, and Yin Zheng will be withdrawn as soon as possible. As for the seventy-eight missing, have you found out where they are?"
"Ancient Demon Forbidden. An old man said.
Hearing this, the other old men all frowned slightly.
"Well, if they come out alive, it will be their creation. Let Qin Wuwei search the edge of the demon land, and it would be nice to find a few lucky children. ”
"Let's do it. The others nodded in the same way.
"After the saint left, the demon clan was about to move, and the Xiao family began to be restless, and even the Seven Gates already had some signs. That thing needs to be done as soon as possible. ”
"yes..."
The place slowly fell silent, and several old men slowly dissipated like light smoke. As if there had never been anyone here, it was once again quiet again.
A few days later, the Peace Alliance issued an edict:
He Kai'an, the city lord of Zhongning County, was unfavorable in guarding the city and neglecting his duties, so he was removed from his post on the same day and exiled for 2,000 miles. Yin Zheng Zhang Wentang, the corpse is vegetarian, has no achievements, and is guilty of the same crime. The teleportation array of Zhongning County will be repaired in another day, the missing persons have been searched by Qin Wuwei, and the new city lord will take office soon.
This is the end of the matter.
Ling Chen and the others in the forbidden land didn't know what fate awaited them, let alone that their future had already been arranged by others and abandoned as if they were gone. No one wants to spend more resources to squander unformed strength, that's gambling. Often, the more powerful the person, the less likely he is to do this.
