Chapter 70: A Strange Mist
"Click!"
Ren Chen kicked a demon beast down on a tree, then killed it with a sword, took out its spirit core, and threw it to the Lantern Festival on the side.
Qian Yao was also with him, and Ren Chen gave her a relatively light long sword, and the light white sword body was also more in line with her image, but now Qian Yao still rarely made a move.
Because Ren Chen asked her to try it just now, she couldn't control her strength at all, and with a light sword, she would either cut down a forest in front of her, or directly shatter the spirit core in the demon beast's body, and now she could only let Ren Chen deal with these demon beasts.
Lantern Xiao bit the spirit core that had just been taken out, and then swallowed it with satisfaction, Ren Chen was also strange, such a small body, but his appetite was like a bottomless pit, and the spirit core he ate added up to was definitely much larger than his body, but its stomach showed no signs of getting bigger.
And Lantern Xiao still looked dissatisfied, and roared softly, as if he wanted to ask Ren Chen for more spirit cores.
Ren Chen has now entered Kirishima for a while, and this time the official time given is not as much as the Canggu Secret Realm, only five days, after all, there are so many people.
According to the official assumption, five days for the demon beasts in this outer layer are enough to be eliminated by the contestants, except for those demon beasts that run out of the inner layer.
So far, I haven't heard of anyone seeing monsters in danger zones or forbidden areas.
Now Ren Chen is located in the place where he has just entered the edge of the fourth layer, and the demon beasts at this time are basically at the level of the Earth Yuan High Heavy to the Heavenly Pivot Realm below the triple level.
If you enter the third layer of Kirishima, you will face demon beasts that have many skills and have a realm of about five or even higher in the Heavenly Pivot Realm.
"Run!"
A voice came from not far in front of Ren Chen, and when Ren Chen heard the voice, it seemed to be a group of people, as if they had encountered some danger.
Although Ren Chen adheres to the principle of not adding things to himself, he still has to inquire about more news now, and maybe there will be something he wants to know.
"Damn, how could the demon beasts of the third layer come here, this is the edge of the fourth layer!"
A girl with a bow was running out, and there were a few teammates around her who seemed to be walking with her, and the cultivation realm of several of them was not high, only one of them was in the Tianshu Realm, and the rest were all eightfold and ninefold in the Earth Yuan Realm.
According to their strength, this fourth layer edge is indeed a more reasonable choice.
"Ahh
The bow girl seemed to have run too quickly and fell directly to the ground, and behind her was a fierce monster beast, like a huge brown bear, rushing towards her.
"Little junior sister, you... You hold on first, I. Go find the team leader right away and come and rescue you. ”
After saying this, one of the men running in front ran away without looking back, as if he would be eaten by this monster beast if he ran a little slower.
The others didn't seem ready to help.
"Don't!"
The girl's knee was bleeding from the fall, and her clothes seemed to be torn in some places. It seems to be the traces left from the previous battle with this demon beast.
She looked helplessly at the monster in front of her, which was opening its jaws to swallow the girl in one gulp.
Just as she was disheartened and feeling helpless, a blood-red sword light suddenly flew past her face.
When she came back to her senses, the brown bear-like demon beast in front of her had been split in half by the sword light.
Her fear hadn't completely disappeared, and she looked tremblingly in the direction where the sword light was flying.
Ren Chen was dressed in black, holding a spirit sword that emitted a light red light and walked slowly from behind her, followed by a girl who looked like a fairy, and she was also holding a spirit beast with a brilliant color in her arms.
The momentary panic left her at a loss for what to say.
"Did you save me?"
She looked at Ren Chen with her tearful eyes, who walked past her, put away his sword and walked to the corpse of the demon beast, and said with a sigh.
"Alas, it's a pity that the spirit core of this demon beast was accidentally destroyed."
The girl was just a disciple of a small sect in the country of the source sea, and this time she just came out with the mentality of experience, but she didn't expect to be abandoned by those people at a critical moment.
For her, she is just one of the many living beings, how can she usually come into contact with Ren Chen, who is considered a top demon in the entire country.
is almost the same age as her, but she has a strength far beyond her, and she can kill a demon beast that a group of them can't solve with a single sword.
Only then did Ren Chen turn around and look at the girl with a smile.
"It's dangerous here, you can go to the outer layer of Kirishima to rest first, and then you can come back, but can you tell me about the scene where you encountered this monster."
Seeing that Ren Chen would ask herself so kindly, the girl's face flushed slightly, and she quickly wiped away the tears on her face and said.
"At that time, we were in front of us to kill the monster, but it suddenly rushed out of the inside, saying that it was not right to face us, it felt like it was hiding from something, but it happened to meet us, and then it kept chasing us..."
"Hiding from something?"
Ren Chen thought about it, Kirishima's monster movement this time, Ren Chen had some guesses, since it was a riot in the inner layer, it was mostly related to what changes had happened in the internal area, such as a powerful demon beast was about to be promoted, and it required a lot of blood and qi, which caused them to flee.
"Hurry up and get out of here, it's going to be dangerous inside."
"What about you?"
The girl asked in a whisper, she had obviously forgotten that Ren Chen's strength was much stronger than theirs.
At this time, another demon beast behind Ren Chen suddenly rushed towards him from the depths of the forest.
"Little..."
The girl's reminder was unspoken.
The Spirit Sword had already flown out on its own, and with a single sword, it cut off the head of the demon beast.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong."
......
Now Ren Chen has reached the depths of the third layer, moving deeper towards Kirishima.
Along the way, as the whereabouts deepened, in addition to the strength of the demon beasts changing, some spirit grass fruits on the side of the road were also constantly upgrading.
Although it is not said that Tianpin can be seen everywhere, it can be regarded as a plant that will appear every few meters.
After all, the deeper you go, the fewer footprints you have.
At this time, a relatively shallow mist had come out of the air, although it did not affect his vision, but Ren Chen felt that the mist gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
"Is this the second floor, the danger zone?"
This place has been marked by the country of the source sea, in order to prevent some loose cultivators or others from accidentally entering the danger zone, the country of the source sea has also united various forces to formulate the division line of the second layer of the area.
Each tree here has special markings on it.
At this time, Ren Chen's spirit beads were still only white as before, not because Ren Chen didn't kill enough, but because they were all fed to Lantern Xiao.
Its current realm has reached the fifth level of Tianshu, and it is about to catch up with Ren Chen, and it does not have the slightest trace of cultivation that is solved by eating.
But Ren Chen is not very clear about its current ability, because those demon beasts have not seen them release their skills before they are solved by Ren Chen.
When the Spirit Sword slashes through the body of the demon beast, it will absorb some of the spiritual power in the demon beast's body as nourishment to nourish itself.
Ren Chen was also worried about whether the two of them would grab food before, but later he slowly discovered that what the spirit needed was the pure spiritual power in the spirit core, and the Lantern Festival needed the rest of the spirit core.
Just like some of the laws that exist in the body of demon beasts, this is also one of the reasons why Lantern Xiao was able to use their skills after devouring the spirit core.
"Hey, boy, do you want to go into the danger zone?"
Suddenly, in a team of four people gathered next to him, a man wearing a turban and carrying an axe saw Ren Chen and walked over to Ren Chen to say hello.
The man at the head did not seem to have any ill will.
"I want Chen Hao, the captain of this team, if I want me to say that the two of you still don't want to go in, and bring such a weak woman."
He continued, Ren Chen took a look, the match of this team seemed to be quite reasonable, it seemed to be prepared, some were holding bows and arrows, and there were also people like pharmacists.
Ren Chen was going to refuse, but Chen Hao directly hooked up with his shoulder and brought him to his team.
"This is Yun Ling, the core pharmacist of our team, and the alchemy master, helping us heal."
Chen Hao pointed to a girl who seemed to be very shy and said, when he introduced Ren Chen, Yun Ling turned her face away.
"This is Xu San and Li Feng, respectively the sword cultivators and archers of our team, look, our team can match it!"
Ren Chen took a cursory glance, basically they were all five or six in the Heavenly Pivot Realm, and according to the normal situation, he might be able to walk around the danger zone, but now it is not a normal situation.
"It's too dangerous for the two of you to be alone, why don't you follow us, anyway, it's all about getting a higher score, and then the spirit core will be distributed according to the strength out!"
"After we get a high score, we will go back and have a celebration banquet!"
At this point, Ren Chen had no choice but to follow them, although he felt that it was better to act alone, but he always felt that there might be some problems with these people in the future, after all, this last sentence was really unreassuring.
A few people walked like this, but strangely there were almost no monsters encountered along the way.
"It's really strange, shouldn't there be not many people coming to crusade against the demon beasts of the second layer, how can there be so few, could it be that someone came in advance?"
"How is it possible, who can be so powerful and kill so many demon beasts."
The team was there, discussing.
"That's not right!"
Ren Chen stopped suddenly.
"Huh? What happened to you. Suddenly it stopped. ”
Chen Hao asked puzzled, Ren Chen originally walked with a low sense of existence, but now he suddenly screamed.
Ren Chen slowly observed the surroundings, pulled Qianyao to his side, and said slowly.
"Didn't you notice that the fog was too deep?"
Everyone listened to his words and watched carefully.
"You're right, but aren't we going inside, the fog is getting a little deeper... Seems like normal. ”
Ren Chen's eyes were shining with golden light, and the others were a little surprised when they saw this scene.
Ren Chen didn't plan to explain too much, he just picked up the Spirit Sword, the spiritual power in his hand burst out, and the flames on the Spirit Sword were even more intense than before.
"Huh!"
Ren Chen didn't hesitate, and directly slashed forward with a sword, and under the strange ability of the Spirit Sword, the mist in front of him seemed to be picked up by a giant hand, and dispersed to both sides.
I saw that the exposed part of the ground showed white bones, and even the trees on the side were no longer green, but turned black like the night, and the leaves above were as black as ink.
"What's going on, these bones, and I remember that the Danger Zone is not written like this!"
Li Feng said in shock, he had read some records about the interior of Kirishima, and he knew something about the distribution of demon beasts in each area and the terrain, and he now remembered a sentence recorded in that book.
"In the mist, you can't know your body."
This is not the second layer of danger zone at all, but directly reaches the forbidden area, the innermost layer of Kirishima!
As soon as Li Feng said this, Yun Ling fell directly to the ground and cried, and the other people were also at a loss, their eyes full of despair.
This is a forbidden area in Kirishima, and there must be a reason why it was given such a name.
Not to mention the Spirit Sea Realm here, even half of the Mountain Covering Realm may not be able to retreat with the whole body, and at this time, only a few people from the Heavenly Pivot Realm have entered.
"I'm leaving!"
Xu San went crazy and wanted to go back the way he came.
Ren Chen said slowly.
"Do you really remember the way you came, is that still the way out? Or are you sure you won't encounter monsters in the forbidden area on the way back? ”
Ren Chen's words were like a sharp sword that directly poked Xu San's body.
The latter only held his head in place and was at a loss.
So far, Ren Chen doesn't know if he is lucky or unlucky, he originally planned to enter the forbidden area, but now he directly saves the trouble of the second layer.
He walked towards the skeleton in front of him and leaned over to look.
"It's not a human skeleton, so it's a demon beast."
"Roar."
A low roar came from the fog on the side. At this time, the fog had begun to recover, and the figure of the demon beast was slowly revealed.
"White Frost Jade Snake!"
Chen Hao recognized the name of this demon beast at a glance.
"How could it be, this is a demon beast of the Spirit Sea Realm, and it was encountered so quickly."
Compared to Chen Hao's panic, Ren Chen smiled slightly.
"The Spirit Sea Realm is heavy, I think you have to cultivate for another two years before you come out."
The giant snake was at least ten meters long, its scarlet eyes were fixed on Ren Chen, and its sharp teeth slowly oozing chilling venom.
