C294 (1/2)
In front of them was a small and dark forest. They could not even feel the presence of Magical Beast, but was there really a normal forest in this place filled with dangers?
Of course not.
As soon as they entered the forest, a soldier screamed and fell to the ground, twitching a few times before he stopped moving.
What had hurt the warrior?
The warrior's right foot had already been pierced by a dark brown vine that was three inches long and as thick as his pinky finger. Dark purple blood slowly oozed out from the wound, quickly solidifying around the wound and forming a black blood clot.
Even for an ordinary human, such a wound would not be fatal, and judging from the state of the wound, it was obvious that the soldier had died from the lethal poison.
”Such a poisonous plant, I'm afraid it's poison is no less than the Seven-Step Gut Cutting Grass.” Fei Yu said in his heart.
”It's the Steel Thorny Vine. Be careful everyone, the Magician have cast their detection spell together, the warriors will clear the way.” Hesak immediately gathered his Warriors and Magician together to deal with the dangerous situation in the forest.
Steel Thorny Vines were a mutated species among the plants. They usually spanned tens of meters, and were covered with three-inch long thorns, which were extremely strong and poisonous, and extremely tough. The dark brown vine was easily able to merge with the surrounding environment in an organic way, making people unable to guard against it.
After the Magician finished their short chants, Fei Yu felt a clear wave of Magic Elements's energy enveloping the area within a dozen meters in front of the team.
”Twenty meters to the left, Pu Gong Heart Drilling Grass.” Suddenly, a Magician reminded him.
The Pu Gong Heart Drilling Grass was a plant similar to the Pu Gong Ying, but when humans came into contact with it, they didn't send out small umbrellas with seeds, but poisonous thorns with reverse thorns that would quickly pierce into the blood vessels and flow in the direction of the blood flow. Even if they were not poisoned to death, they would be pierced to death by the poison that would flow through the blood vessels to the heart.
The group of people, of course, chose to take a detour, and after passing by several dangerous plant territories, such as Explosive Blazing Lightning Mushrooms, Bombs Spitting Cucumis, Human Tyrant Flower, and Blood-Thirsty Steel Wood, they finally walked out of this dangerous forest in exhaustion.
Looking back, the warriors and Magician were battered and exhausted, the team had even lost about a tenth of their members, especially the physically weak Magician, who lost about a fifth of their members.
”Fei Yu, it seems that my estimation of the difficult situation isn't enough, we have just arrived and already lost so many people, and a large portion of them have already lost the ability to continue forward. This is already the limit of my personnel, you'll have to walk the path ahead yourself.” Hesak said apologetically.
”That's fine too, what kind of situation will we encounter if we continue down this path?” Fei Yu did not care about all these. The dangerous plants just now already made Fei Yu interested in continuing.
”About a kilometer ahead, there is no small valley which is the only way to enter the mountain, but the danger level here is several times greater, so we call this The Hell of Earth.” Hesak said.
”The Hell of Earth?”
”Yes, The Hell of Earth. It is not known why the earth system s in the valley are so concentrated, so they are suppressing all of the magic and Dou Qi in the air. However, these earth element are not stable, and with just a slight touch, they will form all kinds of attacks from earth system s that we have never seen before. When the magic and Dou Qi are suppressed, these attacks are extremely injurious, so we call this place the The Hell of Earth. ”
”Mm, the name is rather fitting.”
”However, this place is too dangerous. My Cultivation Level is too limited, so I cannot accompany you in. I will wait here for you to come out.”
”Then, what kind of place is the The Hell of Earth after this?”
”This... This... To be honest, we have only been to the outskirts of The Hell of Earth and have tried to barge in a few times. However, every time it was just a loss and we were never able to truly pass through it.
”Then how do I know which one is the Holy Sword of Earth?”
”Holy Sword of Earth s are easy to recognize, the recorded style of Holy Sword of Earth s is no different from normal swords, but the sword blade is the yellow color unique to earth element s, and the sword body also contains a large amount of earth system energy, I believe that Fei Yu, the moment you see it, you will definitely recognize it.”
”Alright then, I'll go now. You can wait here for the news!”
”Then I hope that you can smoothly obtain the treasure. If not, remember not to try to be brave. There will still be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Fei Yu didn't even turn his head to look forward. Indeed, after walking forward for around a kilometer, he saw a valley in front of him. Even though it was called a valley, it was actually a crevice between two mountains, with a rock bottom that was around four to five metres wide.
When Fei Yu saw this situation, he thought to himself: Could this be the legendary One Line Heaven?
As soon as he entered the valley, Fei Yu saw a misty light earthen yellow color. It was actually a dense earth system Magic Elements that had already reached a level where it could already be seen with the naked eye. It was unknown just how many years it would take to accumulate and condense to form such a scene!
”Hmm?”
Fei Yu who had entered the valley mouth felt the circulation of the zhenyuan slow down. These earth element that were visible to the naked eye were actually dense enough to have an impact on his own zhenyuan? Although the strength of these earth element were not enough to effectively suppress Fei Yu's zhenyuan, this was still shocking enough.
Continuing forward, Fei Yu suddenly felt a ripple from the Magic Elements in front of him. With a whoosh, a two meters tall and thigh thick rock spike sprang out of the ground under Fei Yu's feet. Naturally, Fei Yu would not be so easily pierced by it, but right after, a loud sound of impact rang out, and the rock spike that shot out from the ground actually self-destructed, as countless rock fragments shot out in all directions accompanied by the sound of wind.
Through the previous incident, Fei Yu finally understood why Hesak did not pass here. With their Cultivation Level, they would definitely be completely suppressed by the earth element here, and even if they did not die from the suppression, they would at least lose a layer of their skin. And these were only the outer parts of the valley. There was still a long way to go before they passed through the valley.
Knowing the secret of the valley, Fei Yu started to carefully move forward. The situation inside was more or less the same as outside, it was just that the earth element had become a little denser, the might of the magic had also become a little stronger, this level of attack did not bring Fei Yu much trouble, and in a short while, Fei Yu had already arrived at the other end of the valley.
After leaving the valley, the scenery in front of them suddenly became bright, like a giant well with a diameter of a few hundred meters, the mouth of the well exposed a small piece of the sky, and the valley they had just passed through was just a tiny crack in the wall of the well, but it was this crack that made it possible for people to enter the well.
There were countless exotic flowers and herbs in the 'well', and there were even some precious herbs. Fei Yu decided to transplant some of the plants in the 'well' into his alternate dimension to cultivate when he found the treasures. Staying here would be such a waste.
Looking carefully at this place, Fei Yu realized that there were two caves on the cliff wall. They didn't seem to be naturally formed caves, but there were obvious traces of manmade digging on them.
He walked into one of the caves and entered for a few dozen meters without feeling the slightest bit of darkness. There was a fist-sized luminous pearl placed every ten meters on the cave wall as lighting equipment. It was truly a luxurious lighting equipment.
They quickly arrived at the bottom of the cave, and under the effects of the magic, they were still completely spotless, it was obvious that there was a person that had lived here for a long time, Fei Yu immediately saw the closed stone doors at the side of the cave, this should be the location of the so called treasure right?
He casually pushed open a thick stone door that was closest to him and a burst of light immediately shone out. Everyone in the room were all sparkling and translucent different colored magicite crystal, and there were even quite a few Drill Rank magicite crystal.
Looking at the countless variety of magicite crystal glittering in front of him, Fei Yu felt a little dizzy.
Fei Yu even suspected that the owner of the treasure deposit was a giant dragon, maybe only the dragon race would collect so many treasures, no, Fei Yu had also stayed in the dragon race for a long time, he knew that even a normal dragon race would not be able to obtain such a huge treasure deposit!
He continued to push open the second room's stone door s. Hmm, this room's color was much simpler than the first room, but Fei Yu did not think that the value of the things in this room would be less than the things in the first room. All he saw were various kinds of precious materials on the floor, three feet long beast horn, a head sized thick silver, fist-sized divine metal, and countless of meteorite gold, as well as many other materials that Fei Yu could not recognize.
was speechless. All these materials were extremely precious, ordinary people would already be thankful for a small piece, but there was actually a room full of them, full of them. Fei Yu did not know how to describe the owner of this treasure deposit.
Pushing open the door of the third stone room, Fei Yu was slightly startled that there were no treasures in the room, it was just that in the center of the room, there was a meter and a half tall stone table, on top of the stage, there was an ordinary yellow Big Sword. Sensing the huge energy fluctuation from the earth system, Fei Yu immediately determined that the Big Sword was the Holy Sword of Earth that Hesack spoke of, it was just that this power was temporarily sealed by some sort of power.
Forget it, Fei Yu had temporarily given up on researching Holy Sword of Earth s. He wanted to see what kind of surprise awaited him in the last stone room.
Fei Yu then pushed open the last stone door, the moment the door opened, Fei Yu was startled.
It turned out that there was really something better in the last stone room. However, it wasn't some treasure or something like that, but a person, a young woman, and actually a young and beautiful blonde girl.
In the last room, there were simple daily necessities, and a large bed made of unknown crystals. On the bed laid a blonde woman in a soft robe, looking like she was in a deep sleep.
How could there be a young girl sleeping soundly in a place like this?
Could it be that the owner of this treasure deposit found it hard to endure the loneliness, and a beautiful wife came out of nowhere?
Fei Yu immediately threw this absurd idea out of his mind and activated spiritual consciousness to carefully 'observe' the situation of the woman on the bed.
”Hmm?”
Fei Yu frowned, why does this woman's life force seem to be in a stagnant state, like a snake in hibernation? However, this woman's sleep was deeper and more thorough, and his various life forms seemed to be in a stagnant state.
