The southern part of the Netherworld is a land of chaos, and the degree of chaos is even more powerful than that of Tanhai Town, after all, Tanhai Town is in the hinterland of the human race, and there is still a human alliance in charge on the surface, and there is no demon in it, at least not in name.

But the biggest difference between the southern region and Tanhai Town is that there are no managers here, and it is a place where all races live together, there are demons here, and they appear in front of people with swagger.

From another point of view, this is the most equal area in the Netherworld, there is no discrimination against any race, no one will bully you just because you are of different races, there is only one reason for being bullied, and that is that you are weak.

In the southern region, the big fist here is the uncle, * the naked law of the jungle, and the weak have no reason to talk about it at all.

Therefore, people who are not strong enough to come to live in the south either immediately join the local forces to seek protection, or find a secret place where no one can find you and practice hard, and only come out to walk the rivers and lakes when they have a certain strength.

But the vast majority of people will eventually be forced to choose the first option, because the second approach will hardly work.

Let's not talk about whether you can hide in a place where no one can find it, and even if you find it, it is impossible for anyone to endure loneliness and cultivate for hundreds of years before coming out.

Even if someone can do this, they won't necessarily be able to get a foothold here when they come out, because there are always more powerful people who can cure you.

Even if you are really lucky enough not to meet a master who is stronger than you, or those masters don't have time to pay attention to you, but you can't fight the local snake forces alone.

Although they don't have masters, they have all kinds of dirty means and a large number of people, so it is not difficult for an outsider to come to the south to do things, but if you want to survive and live here, you must be mentally prepared to work hard.

Of course, if you go to a master of the level of a general or a blind man, then it is another matter, at this level of existence, any ordinary trick may become a powerful group killing skill in their hands, and the crowd tactics will hardly have any decisive effect.

But the south of the Netherworld is a free region, whether it is the Terrans in the east, the demons in the west or the demons in the north on the opposite side, they can enter and exit the southern realm at will, no one will stop you at all, but these three regions have to desperately guard against the groups that migrated from the south.

In other words, the south is almost a region where people only go in and out, but it has never been overpopulated for thousands of years, because the killings are so frequent.

Because every day people enter the south from the other three regions, in other words, outsiders are squeezed and hunted down every day.

Only by spending more than a year in the ostracism and hunting will you slowly become a 'southerner' and be accepted by the locals here.

On the one hand, more than a year of fighting has improved one's own strength, and the most important reason is that as long as you continue to stay and live in the southern territory for more than one year, your body will naturally be contaminated with a unique taste of the south.

This smell can't be smelled with the nose, but it can be felt, it's amazing, as if the soul has been changed, but as long as you leave the southern realm, this smell will disappear within a few days, and it will be restored after returning to the south for a while.

As long as you have this southern flavor, you can be accepted by the locals, but accepting it does not mean that you will be safe in the future.

Accepting that you are a local just means that you will not easily attack them in groups, and you can settle down temporarily, but if you want to live well, you must continue to face the southern world of the jungle.

Fan Wu is now at the silent level, and his body's senses are very sensitive, especially for the sense of space, and some subtle changes that ordinary people can't detect can be felt.

From the moment he entered the Southern Realm, he found that the space here was a little different from the place he was in before, and it seemed that the space here was more spiritual than other places.

Moreover, the energy of heaven and earth here is also different from other places, it is more active, even if it does not actively absorb it, it will slowly penetrate into the body, theoretically speaking, living in the southern realm will passively improve its strength even if it does not cultivate.

It seemed to be a good thing, but Fan Wu found that there was a trace of strange energy mixed in the heaven and earth energy here, and this trace of energy attribute was very strange, and it did not belong to any of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

And this kind of energy will have a slight change in the soul, will leave a faint mark in the soul, just like a label on the soul, this mark is not only faint but also very hidden, if there is no abnormally sensitive senses like Fan Wu, no matter how high the strength is estimated, it may not be able to find the unique characteristics of this southern realm.

In fact, Fan Wu didn't notice this characteristic at the beginning, and he unconsciously and passively absorbed a lot of it in the previous period, and it wasn't until he was highly concentrated in the settlement and fighting the demons that he realized it.

Although he didn't know what it was, it would definitely not be a good thing for his soul to be marked, so Fan Wu kept trying to remove the mark on the way to track down the demon army.

But after a few days of hard work, it was found that the process seemed to be irreversible, so I had to pause the pace of tracking and find a hidden cave to concentrate on dealing with the imprint.

After careful and comprehensive feeling and observation, it was found that the absorption of energy by the body could only be closed, so that the imprint would not continue to be enriched and perfected, but there was no way to remove the imprint that had already formed.

And with the observation of the soul, it was found that the imprint still has a slight paralyzing effect on the soul, not poison, like constantly emitting a weak electric current to hit the soul, so that the soul is in a slightly numb state.

It is believed that with the continuous enrichment and perfection of the imprint, the current will be greater, and the paralysis of the soul will be stronger, and it may be that the imprint deceives the senses of the person in this way, so the vast majority of the ethnic groups living in the south are not aware of the existence of the imprint at all, and mistake such an effect for a taste and feeling.

Fortunately, Fan Wu found out early, otherwise as the current increases, he may also be numb and feel numb, and unconsciously become a 'southerner'.

But although he discovered the existence of the mark, Fan Wu had no way to remove it from his soul, and he didn't know if this mark was considered to be generated or the rules of heaven and earth, but carrying a mark in the soul was a potential threat after all.

Fan Wu felt like he was being labelled as one of those captive animals, as if he had become a pet or livestock of some existence.

Regardless of whether this existence was a human being, a god or this heaven and earth, Fan Wu felt that he couldn't accept it, and he had to find a way to get rid of it completely, otherwise he would rather not set foot here again after leaving the south.

However, although Fan Wu's senses were sensitive to discover the existence of the seal, it did not mean that he had a way to deal with the troubles at the soul level.

According to the characteristics of Xi's realm, there may be a way to increase his strength to a certain extent in the future, but it is definitely not now.

Just when Fan Wu was at a loss whether to withdraw from the Southern Realm immediately, a message actually came from Lei Long's side:

Brontosaurus, Level 3.

What's going on?

Before hiding in the cave, Fan Wu commanded the thunder dragon to patrol the realm within a radius of 100 meters around the cave, and he didn't feel that there was any battle in the thunder dragon, why did it suddenly escalate?

Fan Wu hurriedly summoned the thunder dragon, which was more than 50 meters away from him, to his side, and when the thunder dragon came to him, he carefully observed and communicated with it through brain waves, to figure out the reason for its upgrade.

The Brontosaurus was originally a pure creature with little intelligence, and would only simply follow instructions, and the instructions should not be too complicated, they must be simple and direct clear orders, otherwise it will not understand.

But since he was promoted to the second level, Fan Wu found that the intelligence of the thunder dragon seemed to have increased, although it was far from the level of opening the mind, but the response and execution of instructions were faster, and in layman's terms, it was a little smarter.

Fan Wu guessed that with the increase of the level of the thunder dragon, it was a matter of time before he opened his mind, and it was possible to become a demon, but he didn't know if he could turn into a human form.

If it can, it is equivalent to Fan Wu traveling with a Lei Gong by his side, although it is not the Lei Gong in myths and legends, but it is already very good, Fan Wu sometimes feels excited when he thinks about it.

After the Brontosaurus was promoted to the third level this time, it was found that its intelligence had indeed continued to grow, and when it came in just now, it actually knew how to avoid rocky mountains and enter through the entrance of the cave, instead of walking in a straight line as before.

It is estimated that it is easier to devour soil than to swallow stones, and if you are smart, you will inevitably learn to be lazy, which is the same as humans.

However, although the Brontosaurus detoured around the hole, the travel time was shorter than walking through the rocks in a straight line, which means that it did not simply want to be lazy, but learned to optimize the route forward, which is a self-evident good thing for the improvement of combat effectiveness.

Of course, Fan Wu is now paying more attention to the changes of the Thunder Dragon not so much these aspects, but the reason for its upgrade.

Lei Long's intelligence has improved slightly, but the communication response is faster and clearer, but it still can't answer Fan Wu normally before he can't speak, and can only respond to Fan Wu's question simply yes or no.

And there is no guarantee of the authenticity of the answer, not that it will deceive Fan Wu, but whether it can accurately understand the question raised by Fan Wu.

So Fan Wu had to be patient and ask questions repeatedly, sometimes a question has to be brewed in his mind for a long time, or change several different ways to get a relatively reliable response, and it may not be accurate, and Fan Wu himself has to make a comprehensive analysis again to form a final conclusion.

It took Fan Wu more than half a day to come to a more likely conclusion, that is, the upgrade of the Thunder Dragon this time was because it passively absorbed the heaven and earth energy of the Southern Realm.

The Thunder Dragon is not a creature that can cultivate independently, so it can basically only rely on the mysterious rules of heaven and earth or racial characteristics to increase its level by killing enemies or discharging.

But this time, he accidentally followed Fan Wu into the strange southern realm, and was actually able to improve by passively absorbing the energy here, and Fan Wu found that the thunder dragon did not have the imprint that existed in the soul.

In other words, the Thunder Dragon also absorbed the energy that could form a mark.
