Volume 2 Chapter 31 The First Arrival in the Secret Land
At this time, Yi Cheng and many Qi Refining Stage cultivators had already entered the secret land, and after passing through a passage dozens of zhang long, these disciples appeared in a mountain forest.
Yi Cheng and Yuan Ping gathered together with their fellow disciples, after all, at this time, in an unfamiliar environment, it was relatively safe to be with the sect monks.
Yi Cheng only felt the surrounding environment carefully at this time, the rich aura made Yi Cheng refreshed, if he cultivated here, he was afraid that it would be more efficient than the cave mansion of the elders of the Dan Stage in the mountain gate.
If he could, Yi Cheng would rather cultivate here for decades, but Yi Cheng just thought about it, from the information he learned, he knew that there were monks who had reported this thought before, and they stayed in the secret land without going out, but countless years have passed, and none of the monks who stayed in the secret place can live until the next secret land is opened, and they all become a delicious meal for demon beasts.
For monks, demon beasts are full of treasures, fur and bones can be used to make equipment, blood can be used to make talismans, and demon pills are even more useful, and alchemy refining weapon formations can be used, so the monks all regard demon beasts as a kind of cultivation resource.
Compared to demon beasts, humans are also a material, more precisely, humanoid elixirs.
The body of the monk is nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, which is not only delicious for the demon beast, but also can enhance cultivation, so those monks who remain are not spared one by one, just like putting a sheep in a forest where wolves are active, there is always a day when it will be eaten.
Yi Chengding saw that this forest was dense and abnormal, except for the open space he was in at this time, there were boundless primeval forests on all sides.
It only took less than half an hour, tens of thousands of monks had already gathered here, and as soon as the many disciples of Luoxia Mountain had finished gathering, they saw Yan Nanfei and two men and one woman walking out of the crowd with three equally young monks, bowing their heads to each other and talking a few words.
Then Yan Nanfei stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, I don't need to say more about the danger of this trial, before entering the valley, the head of the sect ordered the four of me to be the leader temporarily, and act in the valley to ensure that this trial gets the greatest harvest, there are many dangers in the secret land, it is not appropriate to be too scattered, just now we have discussed and decided, the four of us will lead a part of the monks to explore in four directions, and gather here before the expiration date, now you can choose to follow us at will, When the time comes, it will be found that the herbs have contributed to the size of the distribution, of course, if you don't want to go with everyone, you can also explore alone, after all, the number of people will be small, the harvest will be rich, and the degree of danger will also be greatly increased, where to go from your own measure! ”
After finishing speaking, Yan Nanfei and the other three separated and occupied one side, waiting for everyone to choose.
Yi Cheng didn't know who the few people were, so he asked the people around him, Yan Bingling said: "Yan Nanfei, you have seen it before, he is the most outstanding Qi refining period modification of our Yan family's lineage, the woman in pink is the monk of the Wei family, called Wei Xinyu, and the cold-faced purple-robed monk is Situ Ran, these two people are the descendants of the Wei family and the Situ family, and the white-faced monk at the end of the year is called Tie Xingzi, who does not belong to the three major families, but he is also very good, and his strength is no longer under Yan Nanfei, and it is said that he is also the descendant of an elder. ”
Yi Cheng also understood when he heard this, these people seemed to be the elite disciples selected by the sect, representing the three major families and monks with foreign surnames.
Relatively speaking, Yi Cheng is still reluctant to be with these people, after all, he has a lot of strength, and he is relatively more sure if he is separated, although he is not familiar with Midi, but it is enough to have Yuan Ping, and many people will get in the way. Moreover, following Yan Nanfei and a few people, it was obvious that their gains were extremely limited.
In a few moments, there were monks who walked out of the crowd and gathered towards a few people, and in a short time, there were three or four hundred people behind each of the four people, most of them were disciples of their own families or monks dressed in the children of those families, and then there were some monks who had not yet reached the tenth level of Qi cultivation.
For them, there is not much hope of successfully obtaining Tsukidan in the first trial, but they are unwilling to miss this opportunity, as soon as they come in to familiarize themselves with the situation, they can more or less gain something to accumulate for the future, so getting out alive is the first thing to consider.
Compared to these disciples who came out, the monks who remained in place preferred to be alone or with a few familiar monks.
In this way, they also trust each other more, and the harvest is not comparable to that of many people, although it is dangerous to do so, and there is more chance of falling here, but for monks, if they can't build a foundation, they are not much different from mortals, and they will still be a piece of loess after a few decades.
After all, there are very few monks who can build a foundation, and the overall proportion is only one-tenth, if they don't work hard, for these monks who don't have a deep background, the hope of building a foundation is almost zero.
When a third of the people in the crowd walked out, gradually few people went out again, at this time, Yi Cheng and a few people also discussed with each other, only to see Yuan Ping said: "There is some guarantee of safety with those people going out, but the harvest will not be too high, how do we decide?" Do you follow them or do you do it yourself? ”
Several people looked at each other, and Senior Brother Hou spoke first: "I'm afraid I don't have much time to wait, this time it must be a desperate gamble, and I have to break through in danger." "He has a clear attitude and cannot be questioned.
"I don't want to follow them, after all, we have a combined attack formation to complement each other, as long as we don't go to too dangerous places, it's still safer." Chen Ang also spoke.
"Senior Brother Yi, what is your opinion?" Yuan Ping, who has seen Yi Cheng's strength, cares extremely about Yi Cheng's opinion.
"Let's go it alone, I don't want to be on board for ten years."
"How does Senior Sister Yan decide? Is it with the Yan family or with us? Yuan Ping then asked Yan Bingling, after all, the combined attack method of the five people has been practiced for a long time, and they have been able to cooperate skillfully, if there is one less person, it will be greatly reduced for the sake of nature.
"Since several senior brothers have decided to act alone, I am naturally with you, hehe, although I am a member of the Yan family, I am only a marginal sideline, even if I get materials with them, I don't have much hope of obtaining Tsukidan, I am not one of those descendants who came here to compete for merit."
After Yan Bingling finished speaking, she smiled helplessly, with a hint of sourness, although she was also surnamed Yan, but the treatment was very different from those descendants of the family.
Just as a few people were talking, a few more people were grouped into Yan Nantian's four people, and there was no movement after that, Yan Nantian saw that no one followed him, and after a little hesitation, he left with three or four hundred people behind him, each heading in one direction.
After those people left, the rest of the monks in the field also took action one after another, or in groups of three or five, or in groups of ten or twenty people, and moved in all directions.
When there were only about a third of the crowd left, Yuan Ping opened his mouth and asked, "What should we do, go in that direction?" ”
Several people looked at each other, and the most dear eyes converged on Senior Brother Hou, after all, he had several experiences and some understanding of Midi, and his decision was undoubtedly more reliable than his own.
"The secret land opened is different every time, so I'm not familiar with this place, but according to past experience, don't walk in the front, after all, all kinds of demon beasts are rampant in the secret land, although the chance of finding cherished medicinal materials is greater at the front, but the danger is also great, the reason why those teams just now want to attract more people is to be able to have more protection."
"The secret place is very vast, and the tens of thousands of monks we came in will often encounter them in the first few days, and then they will become more and more dispersed, and it will not be very easy to meet other monks at this time."
"This is the best time to collect medicinal herbs. At the end of the last day, when the scattered monks gathered together at the exit, this was also the most dangerous and crazy time. Senior Brother Hou seemed to think of the scene at that time, and he also showed a trace of jealousy.
"Okay, let's not talk about these first, let's choose a direction first, but the four sides are almost the same, in the dense land, one is to look at the strength, the other is to look at the luck, maybe some people can find a building foundation in three or five days, and some people have little harvest in three months. Hehe, I hope we don't have too bad luck! ”
After speaking, Senior Brother Hou sighed, and the expectation in his eyes was overflowing, after all, his hope of coming again after this time was even more slim.
Yi Cheng and a few people listened to it, and they also knew that there was no choice now, just to see the luck of a few people. At that moment, they discussed a few words, and followed in the direction where Yan Nanfei and his group left.
Besides, the situation of other sects is similar to Luoxia Mountain, after all, after countless experiences, only by scattering will there be a big harvest, but some medicinal materials that are difficult to pick are either guarded by powerful demon beasts, or because the growth environment is sinister, not a few people can break through, only by dividing into several teams like them is the best choice.
As for those who are casual cultivators or people from small sects, just like Yi Cheng and a few of them, they choose one direction in groups and start their journey.
