Chapter 97 Secret Realm
Chapter 97 Secret Realm
Chen Yuan stepped into the Lingguang Gate and saw a colorful scene before his eyes. Then he fell rapidly as if he had stepped off a cliff.
He had expected this situation, so he did not panic. He calmed his mind, closed his eyes slightly, and let his body fall.
It seemed like only a moment had passed, yet it also seemed like a thousand years had passed, and suddenly a dizzying feeling came over me.
Chen Yuan was confused and dizzy. When he opened his eyes again, the colorful scene in front of him disappeared and he found himself in a forest.
The forest is full of towering and ancient trees, and it is quiet and peaceful, without a single sound.
Chen Yuan looked down and found himself sitting on the ground with his back against a big tree.
He immediately stood up, touched his storage bag, took out the Chixiao Sword and the Dingguang Mirror, and held a golden armor talisman in his hand in case of any emergency.
She glanced around and found no one in her sight. She then spread out her spiritual sense and explored out little by little. She found that there was no human trace within sixty feet around her, only a few small animals foraging in the forest.
He felt relieved and stepped forward, reaching the top of a big tree.
Looking up, this forest covers an area of about ten miles. There are plains on the west and north sides. There is a solitary mountain standing on the east with steep peaks. There is a lake on the south side, which is extremely large with no visible edge. The water is clear and calm.
Chen Yuan observed carefully for a while, compared it with the two maps he had memorized, and then he had a clear idea in mind and swooped down from the top of the tree.
Although the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm is named after the mountain, its interior is actually extremely vast, with all kinds of landforms. It is divided into two rings, inner and outer, and is surrounded and blocked by a mountain range.
The spiritual energy in the inner ring is much thicker than that in the outer ring, and many rare spiritual herbs grow there.
However, after the six sects’ disciples entered the secret realm, they all landed in the area within the outer ring and needed to rush to the inner ring to look for spiritual herbs.
According to the map distributed by Xu Changan, the solitary mountain in the east, named Luoxing Mountain, has been searched countless times by disciples from various sects, but no spiritual herbs have been found.
There is a cliff on the mountainside, named Xingluo Cliff, which is also the place where Chen Yuan and Mo Jingchun agreed to meet.
But after Chen Yuan landed, he did not go straight to Luoxing Mountain, but turned around and walked towards the north.
He had already made plans for this trip to the secret realm, so it was inconvenient for him to travel with Mo Jingchun.
Therefore, he asked Mo Jingchun to wait for only one hour and he could leave on his own, and also gave him two Soul-Restoring Pills as compensation.
Although the forest was silent and looked peaceful, the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain was full of dangers. Chen Yuan did not dare to be careless. He held two golden armor talismans in his hands, ready to summon magic weapons to meet the enemy at any time.
He walked for a while, then suddenly stopped and turned under a tree.
A yellow magical herb stood upright, about one foot tall, with three leaves, and its shape was like a sword.
Chen Yuan showed a look of surprise. This was the sword-shaped leaf of the hundred-year-old spiritual herb, which was quite rare. He did not expect that in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, it would grow casually on the roadside like weeds.
This is just the outer ring, where the spiritual energy is thin. How many rare spiritual herbs are there in the inner ring?
Chen Yuan used his magic power to pull up the sword-shaped leaf by its roots, put it into a special storage bag, and continued to move north.
……
Under a tree five miles away from Chen Yuan, He Xin struggled to stand up from the ground, his body shaky.
After a while, he came to his senses and cursed in a low voice:
"This ghost formation is so weird..."
Then, he stroked the spirit beast bag at his waist, and a snow-white spirit fox jumped onto his shoulder, rubbed his cheek affectionately, and made a "woohoo" sound from its mouth.
He Xin smiled, took out a pill, put it in the palm of his hand, and placed it in front of the fox.
The fox cried out joyfully twice, opened its small mouth, bit the pill, chewed it twice, and swallowed it into its stomach.
After a moment, its snow-white fur glowed, its furry tail kept sweeping, its eyes narrowed, and it was obvious that it was in a very happy mood.
He Xin touched his storage bag again, took out a task token engraved with the word "Dan", placed it on the nose of the spirit fox, and whispered:
"Take me to this person."
The fox sniffed the token deeply a few times, then stood up on He Xin's shoulder, probed around with its nose, raised its right front paw, pointed towards the forest in the north, and made a "chirp" sound.
He Xin took out a scimitar magic weapon, held it in his hand, and walked towards the forest in the north, with a sinister smile on his face:
"Chen Yuan, don't even think about getting out alive!"
……
There is an island in the lake south of the forest, and at this moment loud noises are coming from the island.
Du Yu, a disciple of Zi Yang Sect, was fighting with a crocodile monster.
The crocodile monster was about three meters long, half a person's height, covered in bronze scales. It opened its huge mouth, full of sharp teeth, and bit towards Du Yu.
In front of the huge crocodile, Du Yu looked extremely small, but he was not afraid at all. He raised his hands and grabbed the crocodile monster's huge mouth.
The crocodile demon's pair of yellow eyes showed a ferocious look, and its strength increased a bit.
The crocodile monster has been entrenched on the island in the middle of the lake for many years. It once ate two human monks. None of them could block its huge mouth. Once bitten by it and rolled over, no god could save them.
Du Yu grabbed the upper and lower sides of the crocodile monster's huge mouth. The crocodile monster suddenly exerted force, trying to bite Du Yu in half.
But its huge mouth, which had been invincible in the past, did not move at all in Du Yu's hands.
Even the sharp teeth of a magic weapon could not bite through Du Yu's hands.
Looking closely, Du Yu was wearing a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings. The texture was extremely tough and could withstand the bite of the crocodile monster.
The crocodile monster's huge mouth was grasped by Du Yu. He was very anxious and swung his huge body flexibly, sweeping his iron tail towards Du Yu, trying to force him back.
Du Yu shouted loudly, and pulled his hands to the sides, tearing the crocodile monster's huge mouth apart!
Then he opened his huge mouth, grasped the iron tail with both hands, bulged his muscles, exerted force suddenly, lifted the crocodile monster up, and threw it hard to the ground!
boom!
A loud bang was heard. Even though the crocodile monster had thick skin and flesh, it was hit hard and its internal organs were shaken. It lay on the ground with its arms and legs spread out. There was fear in its yellow eyes and it kept making a hissing sound from its mouth, as if begging for mercy from Du Yu.
Du Yu grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, raised his hand and clenched his fist, hitting the crocodile monster hard on the head. Bang bang bang!
After more than ten consecutive punches, the crocodile monster's scales were torn into pieces, red and white objects splattered everywhere, and it died on the spot.
Du Yu then stopped, inserted his penis into the crocodile monster's brain, took out a piece of trembling crocodile brain, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
"Yes, the monsters in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain are indeed much tastier than those outside..."
He nodded repeatedly with a look of satisfaction, came to the crocodile monster's lair, casually pulled up a few hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, and put them into his storage bag.
"The brain of that Lingyun sect disciple must be tastier than that of this stupid crocodile, haha..."
Du Yu grinned, stroked his storage bag, took out a flying boat, placed it in the lake, stepped on it, activated his magic power, and headed for the shore.
Ripples appeared on the calm lake surface, and ferocious little fish with sharp teeth jumped out of the water and pounced towards Du Yu.
Du Yu was not afraid at all. He touched his storage bag, took out a spear, and wielded it with great force, stabbing these ferocious little fish to death one by one.
When he reached the shore, the boat was already filled with bloody fish carcasses.
Du Yu sneered, put away the flying boat, and walked away with big strides.
……
In a valley, Ren You from the Tiangang Sword Sect stood opposite two disciples from the Ziyang Sect.
He was dressed in a white gown, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a stern expression. He stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly:
"Did you two commit suicide here, or did Ren do it himself?"
The two Ziyang Sect disciples raised their defensive magic weapons, and one of them smiled apologetically:
"Fellow Daoist Ren, we have not offended you, and we don't have any spiritual herbs on us. Could you please show some mercy and let us live..."
"It seems that Ren still has to do it himself."
Ren You said this calmly, touched his storage bag, took out a blue flying sword, and pointed it at the two of them:
"cut!"
The two Zi Yang Sect disciples' faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly activated their defensive magic weapons to protect themselves.
The blue flying sword shot towards one of the tall and thin disciples, as fast as a meteor, and slashed on the iron shield that protected him, breaking it with one strike.
The man's figure shook and his face suddenly turned pale.
Upon seeing this, another young disciple quickly controlled a black inkstone and smashed it at the defenseless Ren You.
Ren You remained calm and pointed at one point:
"point!"
The blue flying sword suddenly paused, and a solid blue sword shadow slashed towards the black inkstone, while the flying sword itself continued to attack the tall and thin disciple.
The young disciple changed the magic formula in his hand, tilted the inkstone, and splashed out a pool of thick ink, trying to taint the sword shadow.
Ren You saw this and shouted:
"break!"
The blue sword shadow suddenly shone brightly, preventing the thick ink from being contaminated at all, and cut the inkstone into two pieces.
This inkstone was infused with the essence and blood of the young disciple, and was refined day and night. If one suffered loss, all would suffer; if one prospered, all would prosper.
The inkstone was cut by the sword shadow, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His body shook and he almost fell to the ground.
Ren You seized the opportunity, mobilized his magic power, and with a flash of sword shadow, he beheaded the young disciple with one sword!
On the other side, blue flying swords were flying back and forth, and the tall and thin disciple was caught in a dilemma and was in a very embarrassing situation.
When he saw his young disciple die, he was so frightened that he turned and ran away.
Ren You smiled coldly:
"Extremely stupid!"
He mobilized his magic power and two flying swords chased after him. After a short while, he found a flaw and stabbed him to death with one sword.
Ren You raised his hand and retracted the two flying swords, and the sword shadows slowly dissipated.
He picked up the two people's storage bags, without even looking at their bodies, and walked towards the valley entrance.
……
In a swamp, Song Qingru and Xue Lin teamed up to fight several giant pythons and killed them one by one.
They also took part in this journey to the secret realm, and both ended up in the swamp, where they met by chance.
After all the giant pythons were killed, Xue Lin said:
"Junior Sister Song, the secret realm is extremely dangerous. You and I will join forces to explore the secret realm together and share the spiritual herbs we obtain equally. What do you think?"
Song Qingru slightly pointed out:
"Just follow what Senior Brother Xue said."
Xue Lin heard this, his eyes showed eagerness, and he laughed:
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. My uncle gave me a treasure before I left. I will definitely be able to protect you!"
Song Qingru's face was cold and she said calmly:
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Xue. I have my own way."
Xue Lin laughed heartily, fanned himself with his folding fan, and said no more.
The two men collected the seven or eight hundred-year-old spiritual herbs guarding the giant python and left the swamp, but they were dismissive of the monster materials on the giant python.
