Chapter 160: Exploring the Secret Realm (I)
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry or impatient, according to the rhythm of the least physical exertion, after walking for half a day, his surroundings finally changed again.
Before, the black earth was full of cracks, and the red magma slowly flowed between the cracks, but now the cracks are bigger and more, and even small ditches have been formed, and the magma flowing in them is more active.
The crystal clusters growing on the ground have become rarer, and they used to be mixed with white light, but now they have become mainly red. Since the sky above was completely dark, and the lighting relied entirely on the light of crystals, all Zhou Chen saw was red light now.
In addition to the changes in the environment, there are also more creatures around you.
Needless to say, the crystal crab could feel that there were many crystals in his field of vision, but in fact, some of the main body was the crystal crab, but they all continued to hide and did not emerge from the surface to attack Zhou Chen.
Then there are the red bugs that pop out of the magma from time to time, ranging in size from as small as a finger to as thick as an arm. There are also some small red insects flying in the air occasionally, and the species and body types are also different.
Most of these insects were self-contained, and only three or five of them were strongly aggressive, speeding up and flying towards him when Zhou Chen approached, but before they could get closer, Zhou Chen opened his mouth and blew out a breath of cold air, all of which turned into ice chips.
"This secret realm is a little too big. ”
At present, whether it is insects or other creatures, they are no threat to Zhou Chen, and he is too lazy to take a look. At this time, he looked farther away, but all he could see was a large area of darkness, and a dark red misty light.
"Luckily, I have the map. ”
Zhou Chen's first goal was to find the red key, and in the process of his journey, his eyes were actually scanning around all the time, for fear of missing any corner of the corner, for fear of missing the red key.
However, it would be a waste to leave it to chance, so simply look for something else.
And the map he obtained from the white-robed boy was obviously the detailed terrain of a certain part of the secret realm, and the few special marks drawn in it mostly meant that there was something special there, and it was likely to be a treasure of great value.
Now, Zhou Chen is going to find the area shown on the map, and then take away all the good things that may exist in the few places marked on the map.
......
Just as Zhou Chen was steadily moving forward in the secret realm, most of the later martial artists were cautiously and slowly exploring one by one.
"The eight-armed swordsman of Lan Yingguo, I, Yin Ting, remember you here!"
A black-clothed warrior under forty years old was covering the bleeding wound in his abdomen, leaning against a cluster of tall white crystals, looking around with a vigilant gaze from time to time.
The black-clothed warrior's name is Yin Ting, and he is the head of a third-rate sect in the Jokhang Kingdom, and this time he was fortunate enough to win a place to enter the secret realm, so naturally he, the strongest person in the sect, came in and fought for it.
As long as he can get one or two treasures and go back alive, he is confident that he will revitalize the sect and achieve achievements that have not been achieved by previous masters.
It's a pity that the division is unfavorable, they must obey the arrangements of the top forces when they come in, and jump into the cave one by one in order, Yin Ting's strength is actually good, but it's a pity that the martial soul dragged him down. He had no ability to fly, and after entering the bottomless cavern passage, until he fell to the ground of the secret realm, no matter how hard he tried, he could not completely unload the force of the fall, and finally suffered some minor injuries.
Coincidentally, Yin Ting and the eight-armed swordsman who had a holiday in the past were very close to the order of entering the secret realm. The eight-armed swordsman found out that Yin Ting was injured, so he secretly followed him for a while, and when he arrived at a place where no one was around, he made a decisive sneak attack. And Yin Ting is not a vegetarian, and he took the opportunity to escape after forcing back his opponent with a desperate style of play.
"Hmph, when I recover, don't be touched by me, or the secret realm will be your burial place!"
Yin Ting's own strength was one line higher than that of the eight-armed swordsman, and he was defeated and fled only because he was injured at the beginning. His plan to explore the secret realm was all disrupted by the eight-armed swordsman, how could he not hate it in his heart, so he made up his mind that if he ran into it again, he would definitely take his life.
......
"Haha, what a bunch of stupid things, how can treasures be so easy to find, even if they find it, they can't keep it! ”
An inconspicuous man, avoiding others all the way, deliberately stirring up those crystal crabs all the way, and then killing them one by one.
And every time he kills a crystal crab, he will use a short knife to remove the crab shell, and then put it in his storage jade pendant.
He didn't look anything unusual on the surface, but he was actually quite excited in his heart.
He comes from a second-rate family in Lan Yingguo, and his ancestors have also entered the secret realm of the abyss, although he did not get any treasures in the secret realm, he brought out a lot of fierce beast materials, including the shell of the crystal crab.
Later, inadvertently, a pharmacist of the family actually used the powder ground from the shell of a crystal crab and combined it with several other common medicinal materials to make a remarkable effect of the body training ointment. The value of this ointment is very cost-effective, because the raw materials are low-grade common medicinal materials.
As long as the energy produces this ointment, it is definitely a lucrative business!
The cost of medicinal materials is extremely low, and the only thing that is rare is the shell powder of the crystal crab, and the crystal crab has everything in this secret realm.
Therefore, what the man was doing at the moment was also obvious, he gave up the opportunity to explore the secret realm in depth, and only focused on hunting the crystal crab. Collect as much powder as possible from its shell, and then safely take it out of the secret realm and go back, and his family will be rich in no time.
Of course, there is also a trouble, that is, his storage jade pendant space is slightly insufficient, he has to hunt a few crystal crabs, go to find a no-man's land, and grind the collected shells into powder, so that it takes up a lot less space.
When you're done, you can come out and hunt it, and so on.
"Hey, these people are really, and it's good to survive 12 out of 10 in the end. ”
When the man was hunting the crystal crab, he would occasionally catch a glimpse of one or two warriors passing by not far away, and while he laughed in his heart, he attacked the crystal crab faster.
......
In addition to the warriors who have their own pursuits, in a certain place, several people with a greater purpose have also gathered together.
There are five people in total, all dressed differently, but they are all disguised images.
Two of them were the most conspicuous, because they both had a large wooden box tied to their backs, and they didn't know what was in them. They were a man and a woman, and the woman had a small black snake around her neck, apparently under the control of the serpent, or simply the temporary shell of the serpent.
"Where's Woo Moonwoo?"
The first to speak was a black-robed man.
"He said he was going to avenge the water sharks, and it wouldn't be long. ”
An old beggar shirtless and wearing only a pair of tattered shorts underneath said.
"Hmph, are you still arbitrary at this time? ”
The serpent's voice came from the woman's mouth.
"Leave it alone, we're going to go according to plan, be quick!"
The black-robed man said a decisive word, and then the whole person turned into a black shadow and quickly left in one direction.
Seeing this, the remaining four people didn't talk nonsense, and each found a different direction and quickly dispersed.
