The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

On the vast Gobi Desert, a road about seven or eight feet wide leads to the sky.

On the road, a dozen army-green tents formed a circle, and in the middle of these tents, there was a bonfire that had been extinguished.

In the tent, the snoring of some people can be heard from time to time.

......

"Ah——!h

An exclamation completely shattered the peace.

Feng Hao, who was sweating profusely, woke up.

"I~, I didn't expect that after more than four months, I started to have this nightmare again!"

The trembling left hand groped around a few times, grabbed a kettle, bit the kettle with his teeth, and poured a few mouthfuls, which calmed Feng Hao's mind a little.

"Ahem-cough-cough——!"

Then there was a violent coughing sound, and it sounded like the heart and lungs were about to jump out of the cough.

The air here is unusually dry.

Feng Hao's lips were full of dry dead skin and cracks, and no matter how much water he drank, it seemed to be useless.

"Ah, ah, ah, I'm your sister!"

"It's only a few o'clock now, and you're there screaming, believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now. A fierce voice came from the side.

Although he couldn't see the person shouting through the tent, Feng Hao knew that it was from Tian Daxiong when he heard the voice.

"You woke him up!" Feng Hao frowned slightly.

He believed that if it weren't for his own usefulness here, Tian Daxiong would have rushed over and tore him apart at this moment.

Because this guy is very angry when he gets up, I remember that more than ten days ago, because of this, someone was disabled by him.

......

Here, not a single one of the people living in the dozen or so tents is good.

They have the same identity, that is, "death row prisoners!"

Feng Hao didn't understand, why did he let these people live?

Why give them a glimmer of life?

Could it be that those big people who can control their life and death really lack a little money?

You must know that this group of beasts, the cleanest of them, also carries at least 3 innocent human lives on their backs.

......

This is called the "Ascension Path".

It's a secret realm that is incomparably chicken.

So far, apart from the small number of Starlight Stone fragments that can be picked up in this secret realm, no one has obtained anything of value in the past few decades.

Due to the changes in heaven and earth, many caves, secret realms, and folding spaces have suddenly appeared on the earth, and at the same time, human beings have gradually lost their hegemony on this planet.

After years of running-in, mankind finally established a federal government, which, in theory, has more authority than all state agencies, but in practice it is difficult to say.

Under this union, the first thing that mankind unified was money.

Gold, in the thousands of years of the earth's history, has played the role of currency almost always in the role of money, and it is no exception to the present.

Due to the rapid development of modern technology, gold has become more indispensable and its value is much higher than before the mutation.

Therefore, for civilians, it is almost impossible to use gold directly, so the most circulated among ordinary people is the federal currency.

In Feng Hao's impression, 1 federation coin in this world is about the same as 10 Chinese coins when it was on earth, which is enough to buy a chocolate ice cream.

The federal government has made a hard and fast rule that 2,000 federal coins = 1 gram of gold.

For the convenience of statistics, the government has made a gold leaf for every 5 grams of gold used for circulation. ”

That is to say, 10,000 Federation coins = 1 gold leaf, and 10,000 gold leaves are equal to 1 star energy stone, and the value of star energy stone can be imagined. ”

As for the Starlight Stone fragments here, one Starlight Stone can be refined every 10 pieces.

This means that a Starlight Stone Fragment is worth 10 million Federation Coins.

It stands to reason that Starlight Stone shards are so valuable.

Everyone will flock to this secret place.

But the truth is the opposite, there are only a handful of gold diggers who are really willing to come to this secret realm desperately.

Because compared to the danger of this secret realm and the production capacity of Starlight Stone fragments, that money is really nothing.

I still remember that a few decades ago, someone once did an experiment to lure hundreds of thousands of ordinary people into this secret realm to pan for gold.

But the final result was that only three or four hundred of the hundreds of thousands of people got out alive, and the total number of Star Energy Stone fragments they brought out was only about a hundred.

......

"Little Zacrumb, since you've woken up, let's go find some water for my brothers!"

The voice came from a tent in the east, and Feng Hao could tell that this person was a guy nicknamed Viper.

"Oh!" Feng Hao replied, got up and got out of the tent.

Feng Hao's status in this group of people has always been like a slave, a slave without any status.

If he doesn't do what these people say, they will beat him, and even kill him.

For these, Feng Hao was very angry.

But Feng Hao also knew that in this place, when he was with these people, it didn't make the slightest sense to show it, and it might even lead to death.

The oppression of these people, Feng Hao can't resist, and he can't resist.

At least until today.

Because before entering the secret realm, Feng Hao was seriously injured and his right hand was abolished.

If it weren't for his amazing ability to recover, his body would have been able to recover on its own without the help of medication.

After a month, he was already dead.

Although, these death row prisoners don't know why Feng Hao is so strong.

A few months ago, he looked like he was about to die, and he still does so.

But since they searched Feng Hao once and didn't find any drugs, they didn't bother to pursue these things, and they were even happy to take him with them.

First, the team was going to search for the "Star Energy Stone Fragment" anyway, so the team was not traveling fast, and bringing Feng Hao with it would not slow down the process.

Second, so far, Feng Hao is the only one in this team who has found the Star Energy Stone fragment.

As for who belonged to the Star Energy Stone fragment he found?

You know, a fragment of Starlight Stone here represents a chance to live.

If they can't hand over the Star Energy Stone Fragment when they walk out of the secret realm, then there are only four words waiting for them.

"Immediate execution!"

Therefore, this Starlight Stone fragment also represents their only vitality.

Of course, if you get more Starlight Stone Fragments and go out, you can also get additional rewards.

......

It's a peculiar place.

First of all, in this secret realm, no matter how old or gender you are, no matter how strong you are, as long as you enter this secret realm, you will be suppressed from all your cultivation and become an ordinary person.

Therefore, here, natural physical strength is an absolute advantage.

Secondly, each person can only enter this secret realm once in their lifetime.

Thirdly, this secret realm can only be entered from September to November every year, which is a three-month period.

Coming in at other times, or staying in it beyond this time, is certain death.

In this secret place, except for an eternal Y-shaped avenue, the geographical environment inside is different almost every year.

Deserts, grasslands, baths, lakes, glaciers, jungles, and so on have been recorded.

The geographical environment in the secret territory this time is very similar to the Gobi Desert in the uninhabited area of the earth.

However, no matter what environment the secret realm evolves into, no one has ever walked to its borders.

Therefore, no one knows how big this secret realm is, and no one knows what kind of environment this secret realm will be when they come in the next time.
