Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Gray Realm
The sky was gray, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in this endless gray mist. The distant scenery was blurred in this boundless gray mist, like a picture that had not yet had time to be completed.
In this gray world, it seems that all the colors have been taken away, leaving only this endless gray, silent and lonely.
The grey, rotting ground is littered with bubbling puddles of muddy water, and all sorts of aggressive plants that don't even grow leaves. This is the Gray Realm, one of the six major areas of the Arcane Realm, located in the southeast of the Arcane Realm, a magical area where even plants are very "hospitable", so hospitable that they want to be one with any creature that enters the Ash Realm forever.
The Secret Realm is a very special space in which there is no sun in sight, so there are no seasons or day and night. The gray world, as the name suggests, gray is its only color, and I don't know how this gray exists, maybe the secret realm has existed since the day it was born. Another part of the Secret Realm, the Dark Realm, where eternal darkness is its only theme, and there is not even a glimmer of light.
Of course, how big this world is, such particularity is not the only one, the reason why the Secret Realm of the Ao Shi is chosen as the main battlefield of the World Youth Martial Arts Conference is because there are many treasures in the secret realm, but the main reason is that the Secret Realm of the Ao Shi is a very small world that has produced self-awareness.
Of course, this consciousness is only an instinct of the small world to protect the local inhabitants and prevent invasive alien species, and there is no wisdom or the ability to think independently.
As soon as Wu Wu Lu entered the secret realm of the mysterious world, he felt a deep malice, which was the consciousness of a small world. The small world instinctively repels all invading alien creatures, and under the influence of this malicious influence, Wu Wu Lu cannot mobilize the original energy in the void at will, and even the combat effectiveness is reduced by only half of the usual.
This situation is not unsolvable, you just need to gain the favor of this secret realm. And the way to gain the favor of this small world is actually very simple, just help the small world hunt other foreign invaders, such as other players who participate in the World Youth Martial Arts Conference. And the more you hunt, the higher the favorability of the Arcane Secret Realm, which means that you can exert super combat power in battles with opponents.
One was maliciously treated by the secret realm, and the strength was only half of what it used to be, and the other allowed the secret realm to bless the combat power and burst out stronger than usual. For anyone who attends a martial arts tournament and wants to compete for the title, the temptation is irresistible.
Of course, there is also an upper limit to this kind of explosive species, the key is to look at their own strength, no matter how a military general gets the favor of the secret realm, it is impossible to appear at the level of a god general, it can only be said that the higher the favorability of the secret realm, the more chance there is to play at a super level, which is also compared to the usual combat power.
This situation is also very much in line with the concept of cultivating the most powerful fighting machines through Gu cultivation by the authorities of all countries in the world, so the Mysterious World Secret Realm has become the only battlefield for many young generations of the human race to become famous in the world for thousands of years.
Instead of marveling at the strangeness of the environment, he looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no danger, he began to sweep the entire area within a radius of several miles.
The so-called "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles", the dangers that Wulu will face are not only the aborigines in the secret realm, all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts, and the unpredictable dangers, but also the geniuses and abilities of various countries who come in with Wulu.
According to the information provided by Isabella, there are thousands of contestants who have entered the mysterious world this time, including official representatives representing various governments, some peerless geniuses cultivated by super forces, such as the Church of Light and the Dark Sanctuary, as well as some genius children from super sects or ancient hidden families, and some terrifying descendants from fierce tribes. These people who are qualified to enter the secret realm of the arcane world are by no means objects that can be easily dismissed.
Ignorant life, no hatred and no grudge, here, by no means the way to dissuade opponents. Killing each other doesn't need too many reasons, living and hunting is the eternal and only theme of this secret realm.
Therefore, being familiar with the terrain, grasping the topography, and understanding the dangers of the surrounding environment will undoubtedly give the land a favorable position in the face of battle.
The first thing he does when he enters the Secret Realm is to explore his surroundings and organize useful information in them to facilitate his next move.
He was lucky enough to survive the first day without encountering the powerful beasts and other contestants in the secret realm.
The next day, Wu Wu Lu began to cautiously touch the southeast direction, and the entire gray realm was shrouded in the ubiquitous gray mist, and there was a gray patch everywhere, and there was an extremely pungent strange smell in the air all the time. In such an environment, people's perception is greatly reduced.
Of course, that is only the impact of the Gray Realm on ordinary people, for the Gray Realm, such an environment has no impact at all, and even like a fish in water, which is why the Gray Realm continues to stay in the Gray Realm all the way to the southeast.
Emperor Wuzu was so great and proud, how could he allow his life's work to be hugely flawed. "Vientiane Amaterasu" is an extremely profound pupil technique carefully created by Emperor Wuzu, and even directly placed in the chapter of protecting the world, according to the records of Emperor Wudi's true scriptures, Vientiane Amaterasu's cultivation to the highest and profound realm can not only be intimidating and confusing the mind, but also can see through all the illusions in the world, as for the night vision ability, it is not a problem.
After Wu Lu easily cut off a few gray-white vine attacks, a gray-black lake appeared in front of him, and before the people of Wu Wu Lu approached, a cold chill had already hit their faces.
Wu Wu Lu immediately stopped walking, cautiously and carefully observing every place around him. According to the experience of the predecessors in the data, usually this special place must be inhabited by aborigines, and it is a very powerful one, which is the conclusion that countless predecessors have piled up with their lives.
The area of the lake is very huge, and even with the blessing of the super powerful pupil technique of "Vientiane Amaterasu", there is still no end in sight. There is a hint of white cold air on the surface of the lake, and the white and gray are constantly blended together, and there is an unexpected and harmonious taste, looking from afar, it looks like a landscape painting being depicted. You can also see a layer of crystal clear frost on the shore of the lake, and it is amazing that the water on the lake is not frozen in such a cold environment, and the lake is still sparkling.
On the shore where Wulu was located, there were piles of boulders, and between the boulders were covered with the kind of unknown tree vines that had just attacked Wulu, and even lush forests. After being cut off by a few vines, this strange tree seemed to feel that it was not food to be handled, so it never attacked it again, and even the other strange trees around it treated it as nothing.
It is the characteristic of all creatures to bully the soft and fear the hard, or those who are not afraid of life and death and are not able to do their own things have been eliminated by nature.
But it would be a mistake to ignore this large area of strange trees, last night in another part of the Gray Realm, but he had seen the horror of this strange tree that looked the same, a serpentine creature several meters long was entangled in these tree vines, and in an instant, only a light fluttering skin was left in the air fluttering in the wind. Therefore, Wu Lu did not relax his guard in his heart, but kept his palm on the hilt of the demon knife on his waist, ready to wait for the opportunity to move.
After a moment's scrutiny, he turned and walked back, preparing to bypass the mysterious lake and continue to the southeast. Suddenly, a few footsteps came into the ears of Wu Lu from a distance, "Finally, I still encountered other contestants, and it seems that there is more than one person." Wu Wulu's face changed slightly, and he quickly sneaked into the strange trees in the boulder pile, hid, and then quietly observed the direction from which his footsteps came.
In this secret realm where there is no civilization and no moral constraints, it is far more advantageous to travel in a group than to fight alone. For such a winning code, the forces of all parties will naturally not be indifferent. Although all those who enter the arcane realm will be randomly teleported to various corners and cannot be determined, the forces that have the ability to obtain the boundary mark naturally have a set of secret methods that are connected to each other, so it is not surprising at all that they are grouped.
It didn't take long for several young men in the fur of unknown animals with black totems painted on their faces to appear in the eyes of Wu Wulu.
"One, two, three, four, five." Wu Lu silently read in his heart. There were five people in this team, and Wu Lu sighed and decided to wait for an opportunity to retreat directly.
Although I don't know what the strength of this team member is, the people who can come to the secret realm of the arcane world are all selected through layers of selection, how can there be people who can be easily dismissed. It is never wise for Wu Lu to choose to go head-to-head with such a five-person team alone, not to mention that Wu Lu's current combat effectiveness is far from reaching the best state. A team of five people should be respected enough, and it is better to choose to retreat than to lose your life.
"With such a cold air, the big guy hidden in this lake is not simple, everyone be careful, lest the boat capsize in the gutter!" One of the members of the team spoke warily at the lake.
"That's it! With this cold pill, the skills of several of us can be improved a lot. The young man at the front of the line licked his lips and looked at the lake with fiery eyes.
The exercises practiced by several of them are special, and they have a soft spot for the ice attribute demon beast Neidan. They sensed the cold from afar, searched all the way, and now they were close at hand, even if they knew that there was a great danger in it, they had no intention of retreating at all. And the more powerful the cold demon beast, once it succeeds, it means that their harvest will be greater.
It's a matter of life and death! As a capable person, I should have had this realization a long time ago. Seeking wealth and danger is what a truly strong man should do.
At this time, I saw him suddenly pull out a scimitar with an extremely exaggerated arc from his waist, forcibly destroy the original energy, and then slash directly towards the lake.
The terrifying Origin Knife Qi was like a meteorite falling into the lake from high in the sky, instantly causing a huge explosion, and at the same time setting off huge waves, and for a while, the entire lake began to boil, like a raging beast being awakened, and it was furious.
Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared in the lake in the distance, and then a terrible roar came from the center of the whirlpool, and its sound was so loud that it directly shook Wu Lu's ears and buzzed.
Wu Lu, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry to leave, persuasion has always been Wu Lu's favorite, as the so-called gift from God, if you don't cherish it, it's a waste of life! If conditions permit, he doesn't mind having a "snipe and mussel fight, and the fisherman profits".
