Su Mu walked west for a long time before he stopped, turned around and went south.

If you go south, in the language of the edge area, it is called the forbidden area, that is, the core area, compared to the edge area, it is a small area, but it is a place where the monks of the edge area dare not approach.

The area of the core area is one-tenth of the edge area, the population is one-tenth of the edge area, but the aura is ninety percent of the edge area, and more than ninety percent of the spirit sword emperors are here, and all the earth spirit sword saints are also gathered here, so it is qualified to despise the outer edge area.

He didn't go to Xue Bingqin, he knew her character, it would be difficult to forgive him this time, and finding the contradiction between the two would only intensify even more, although he was worried about her, but with her skills, as long as she didn't trust others, it was difficult for anyone to hurt her. And it is difficult to gain her trust, she doesn't even say anything to others, so naturally she won't trust others easily. In fact, she has only trusted two people when she is so old.

She is a heroine among women, he believes that if she hadn't followed him to fight in the north and south in the past two years, with her indifferent and unwilling to admit defeat, she would definitely stand at the top, she has always been the person who stands at the top in the sun world, and the peak of the earth spirit world is the core area, if everyone has a heart, they will definitely meet there again!

Although the two years of encroachment were not very good leylines, they could be regarded as middle and upper reaches, so in this kind of intermittent cultivation, he advanced from the early stage Spirit Sword Emperor to the middle stage, which was a little comfort.

The journey to the south was far away, and the spiritual energy stored in his body was not much, and it was used up in just two months, if he couldn't find the leyline cultivation in a few months. Cultivation would slowly fall, and of course he wouldn't allow that to happen.

On the third day when the aura ran out, I saw a scattered and somewhat crisp mountain range.

He took out a spirit sword and practiced here for one night in the name of resting, and set out on his way early the next morning.

After walking in this way for half a year, he was still in the boundless wasteland, but he didn't suspect anything, just continued to walk with his head bored.

He always thought that the core area was round, and as long as he followed the south, he would definitely find it.

Relying on this belief, he walked so stubbornly, and half a year later, he met a fairy square and bought a map. I was amused at my stupidity.

It turns out that the core area is an ellipse!

Judging by the map. He's on the verge of missing out on the core, which is currently right next to it, and it won't take a month to go east!

So he went east again.

I was really tired from this night, and I saw lights in the distance. I thought it was someone's house. I can't help but be curious. I have never seen this kind of retail investor in the wilderness along the way, who is so bold to live here alone?

But when I looked closer, it was a big house, with four big characters on it. Sky Inn.

A low fence was erected with stone beams outside the house, and there were many monsters tethered to the courtyard, which should have been the mounts of the monks in the past.

He went in, and to his surprise, there was a nice aura here.

There was a guy in the courtyard who was feeding a demon beast, and he turned around and smiled: "Daoist friends live in the store or buy aura?"

"Stay. I haven't seen an inn all the way, why is there here?"

The guy smiled: "Of course you can't see it, there is only this inn in the earth spirit world, because it is close to heaven, so it is called the Tianbian Inn." ”

"Where is heaven?"

"Paradise is naturally the core area. ”

Su Mu smiled faintly, because this is indeed a bit ridiculous, for a place that most people can't go to in their lifetime, even if it's good, it's a hell.

The good thing is that he never thinks there is any difference between heaven and hell.

"Most of the guests in this store are long-term residents, and Taoist friends can also see that the aura here is not bad, as long as you want, you can stay all the time. ”

"I'll stay one night. ”

"It's a bit expensive for one night......"

Su Mu casually took out a spirit sword and threw it to him.

Without saying a word, the guy took him into the store.

There are a few bonfires in the lobby, and I don't know what kind of monsters are roasting, and the smell of oil is bubbling.

"The room of the Taoist friend is in the third room on the second floor, if you don't want to rest too early, you can try the special barbecue of our store here, all the cubs under the demon king deer, tender. ”

Su Mu saw that there were at least hundreds of people in the chaos here, and many of them were eating in large chunks, talking about the sky with a big oily mouth, but it was very lively.

For Su Mu, who has been on the road in the uninhabited wasteland all year round, he actually likes this environment a little, he has never joined in this kind of excitement before.

Sitting down by a campfire, a fellow hurriedly cut a piece of meat from the monster and gave it to him.

He smelled the aroma and salivated, so he ate it in one gulp.

I don't say hello to anyone, I sit there quietly and listen to everyone.

Lao Tzu used to mix in the core area for a few years, and told you that it was a place where it was difficult to get in and out of a place where it was not for my cleverness to scatter my wealth in time to buy the door of the Nine Palaces, this fate would have been explained. ”

"Brother Wang, then what kind of place is the core area?"

"Didn't you just say it, it's a ghost place that doesn't die and loses its skin. ”

"But if you don't go to the core area, relying on the broken aura in the edge area, Ma Yue can fly to the heavenly spirit realm in the Year of the Monkey?"

That big brother Wang looked like a bold and uninhibited Shanghai-style character, a person who was not bored with swearing like a domineering, I saw him wave his big hand, his eyes were glaring, and he looked at the person mysteriously, and said, "Do you say that ascension is important or life is important?"

"Of course it's fate. ”

If you want to live, stay here honestly, don't bother with the idea of that. ”

"According to you, we have no hope of ascending in this life?"

Some people are dissatisfied with what he said so categorically, which makes people discouraged.

Before Brother Wang could speak, the other said: "It's not hopeless, isn't there a flying platform in our marginal area, that's not a decoration, there is a flying platform that can naturally be upgraded, but it depends on how long you can survive, it's not that I underestimate you, most of the people sitting here are Spirit Sword Emperors." It takes at least decades or hundreds of years of hard work to cultivate to the Earth Spirit Sword Saint, and you have to stay in the place where the spiritual energy is at its peak, and there are very few places like this in the fringe area, but there are still some of them. ”

"We love to listen to what this brother says, can't we finally fly to the earth spirit realm, and all of us have to wait here for death?"

The man surnamed Wang laughed again and said, "Let me ask you, before you came to the Earth Spirit Realm, were you also so keen on Ascension? But what about after you came? Who knows what the hell is in the Heavenly Spirit Realm?"

"But what if I don't ascend? I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life. ”

......

Su Mu listened for a long time, and finished eating the venison in his hand. Thoughtfully sipping the oil fragrance on his fingers. Until I licked my fingers clean, I was still subconsciously holding it.

"Hey, hey, you don't have the eyesight to see, you didn't see this brother finish eating, and then cut a piece with him. Or he should have eaten his fingers. ”

The man surnamed Wang looked at Su Mu. Haha laughed. yelled at the guy.

As soon as he said it, Su Mu realized that he was too engrossed, and smiled faintly. said: "Brother Wang, I'm going to go to the core area next, can you tell us more about the situation there?"

"You're going alone?"

Not only the monk surnamed Wang, but everyone's eyes at the bonfire fell on Su Mu.

Su Mu said lightly: "Didn't you go alone at the beginning?"

The monk surnamed Wang shook his head and said, "How dare I go alone, there are more than 20 of us! In the end, a few people came out alive." Little brother, don't think about it, you won't be able to survive a day without anyone to help you. ”

Su Mu took out a spirit sword and said, "Brother Wang, just tell me." ”

The monk surnamed Wang grinned and said, "Which one is this?" But I don't dare to accept such a valuable thing. ”

What he said was sincere, but his eyes were already straight, although this was not refined by Su Mu himself, but it also had the attributes of the fourth grade, and it was a good sword if it was not high or low.

"You take it, I don't mean anything else, I just want to hear how dangerous the core area is. ”

Su Mu was not sad or happy, and he didn't even see any kindness on his face, as if he was talking to himself.

"This ...... Then you're welcome! Let's tell you what the core area looks like. ”

The monk surnamed Wang didn't expect that he could also bring a spirit sword to chatter, so he suddenly lifted his spirits, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "The core area is an elliptical world, and there is a big river on the periphery, not the big rivers you have seen, but the real big river, the boundless big river, this is the first ghost gate, there are only three ways to cross the river, the first is to smuggle away, the second is to have someone pick you up, and the third is to buy a boatman to send you over." Smuggling is basically impossible, not to mention that the river is wide and wants to die, there are often several major factions of monks patrolling on the river, they are divided and governed, if you want to smuggle in, I suggest going to the northwest corner, that area is under the management of the Nangong family, although the Nangong family is a big family, but in the end it can't be compared with the big faction, there are not enough people, and the management is a little lax. If someone picks you up, then I didn't say it, and the third one is also very clear, as long as your pocket is enough, but don't be fooled, the market price is generally a hundred spirit swords, and a group of people are at this price, so it's more cost-effective to have a companion. ”

Su Mu nodded with interest and said, "What is the second ghost gate?"

The monk surnamed Wang frowned, as if he saw the scene after he landed on the shore, and said, "Siege and kill...... Endless siege and killing, you have no idea how they found you, it haunts you like a nightmare, you resist them to kill, you beg for mercy and they kill too, they just refuse to let you go. Let's just say that the Sea Soul Hall and the elf clan usually fight constantly, but when we encounter outsiders smuggling in, we immediately speak in unison, we were chased by the elves for a few days and then chased by the Sea Soul Palace, panicked like dogs, never peaceful. ”

"How did you survive?"

The surrounding monks all sighed when they heard it, but Su Mu was expressionless and asked calmly.

The monk surnamed Wang was reminded of the painful memories, his appetite was gone, he threw the meat on the ground, and said: "Luckily, that day the heavy rain drifted, like opening the floodgates, I fled into a cave with a few senior brothers, and the people of the Sea Soul Hall came again before resting for a while, damn, the group of little ladies holding fish tails are ruthless, they are born with a strong ability to control water, and they bring the heavy rain into the cave, we are washed away by the torrent, fortunately, the cave is deep, and it has been rushed into one cave after another along the water, and in the end, guess what? It's a desperate place to live!"

"That's great. ”

One person listened attentively and couldn't help but say a word.

The monk surnamed Wang slapped his thigh and said hatefully: "What a bird!" (to be continued......)
