() The colorful clouds at the entrance to the Cloud and Mist Secret Realm seem to be much thinner than before. Unlike the bustling scene before, there are now sparsely populated areas here.
There was only a group of soldiers on duty at their respective posts in an orderly manner.
"There haven't been any newcomers in the secret realm for more than a month!" One soldier said lazily to the other.
"The last entry was forty-two days ago," another soldier replied casually.
"I don't know how many people inside are still alive, and I haven't seen anyone come out yet." The soldier who spoke earlier said.
"The group of people who went in before were all people sent by the institute. They all carried locators and wired communication phones newly developed by the institute. It is said that they are also second-level cultivators. I originally thought that someone should be able to come out. , and the result...hey." The soldier sighed softly.
At first, some people volunteered to explore the secret realm. Later, the army sent soldiers to explore. Now, from the official to the private sector, there is no mention of the exploration of the secret realm. The army and the research institute only send people on duty to see if they can receive any news.
Inside the secret realm of clouds and mists, towering giant trees towering into the clouds with their dancing shadows covering the sky and the earth, seem to form a world of their own.
Under the giant tree, there are dense forests, deserts, dangerous peaks, and deep pools. The terrain does not follow the laws of nature at all, as if it has been randomly inserted by people.
When Ning Qingyun stepped into the secret realm, before he could react, the realm that had long been stuck at the peak of the Chongmai Realm was impacted by the rich spiritual energy of the secret realm. The realm was loosened and the spiritual energy rioted, and he was forced to upgrade.
The upgrade process went smoothly, but unfortunately he was attacked by a one-horned and six-legged lizard beast without preparation. Yunshan was injured while protecting him, which resulted in Ning Qingyun being indebted to Yunshan.
In the days that followed, Ning Qingyun was extremely grateful that he had upgraded his level when he first entered the secret realm.
The closer to the entrance of the secret realm, the lower the spiritual energy concentration and the lower the level of the alien beast.
The one-horned and six-legged lizard beast they first encountered was only the lowest-level alien beast. The only thing they could use was its relatively high defense, but it was actually very easy to deal with. It had stubby limbs, a bulky body, and poor flexibility.
Each of the strange beasts they encountered later became more difficult to deal with. If Ning Qingyun hadn't been promoted to a higher level and his strength had greatly increased, the two of them probably wouldn't have survived the first day.
Ning Qingyun had just escaped from the territory of the Storm Wolf. His originally clean training clothes were already stained with blood. His lips were pale and his steps were staggering. He had obviously suffered internal injuries.
While searching for the key, he fell into a group of wolves and was accidentally injured by the wind blade shot by the alpha wolf. The wind blade was extremely powerful. Although he was protected by soft armor, he still felt that there seemed to be some bone cracks and injuries. Abnormal pain.
Ning Qingyun had no time to pay attention to the pain in the wound on his arm at this time. He quickly meditated and adjusted his breath to sort out the chaotic spiritual energy in his body. The disordered spiritual energy was rushing around in the body, destroying the meridians that were riddled without restraint. Ning Qingyun sorted out the chaotic spiritual energy in his body. After doing it again, there was cold sweat on his forehead. Although the purple flames in his dantian were still a little listless, they were finally much stronger than the dying state before.
From the backpack behind him, he took out a map that was tough and strong, looked like kraft paper and had a simple color and style. He made a green mark on the map where a wolf's head was drawn.
When Ning Qingyun first entered the secret realm, he was stumbling around like a headless fly for more than a month. He was seriously injured several times and struggled to his death. He had countless wounds of various sizes on his body, until he was discovered in the nest of a giant dead tree bird. Got this secret map.
I have been staying in the secret realm for nearly three months. There is no sun, moon, or stars in the secret realm. I have never seen rain, thunder, lightning, wind, frost, or any other natural weather. I don’t know where the sky lights up during the day, and I don’t know why the sky darkens at night.
It's like a large-scale climate-controlled indoor playground built artificially before the end of the world. The difference is that here there are giant trees that reach the sky, mountains and mountains, and a vast woodland that can't be seen at a glance.
Since getting the map of the secret realm, Ning Qingyun has a general understanding of how big the secret realm is. His exploration of the secret realm for more than a month before was just the tip of the iceberg of the secret realm. It was really bad luck to get the map of the secret realm by accident. .
The place where Ning Qingyun is now is the original territory of the dead wood bird. The dead wood bird is a large alien beast shaped like a dead tree. It has slender legs, two feet with ridges, a pair of huge and rigid wings, and strong defense. The dead wood bird Although birds cannot fly high due to their huge bodies, they can glide with their wings, assist their legs in running, and move very flexibly.
The dead wood bird's strength was at its peak at level three. At that time, it killed a group of soldiers who broke into its territory, but was also injured by the heavy artillery carried by the soldiers. Ning Qingyun happened to take advantage of the opportunity, and then discovered the map, and had a fairly safe place to stay.
"Gululu..." In the morning, he had just eaten a few wild fruits and had just experienced another hard battle. At this time, Ning Qingyun couldn't help but sing about the empty city strategy in his stomach.
He took out a lighter and a bloody piece of Gale Wolf hind leg meat from the backpack on his back. Ning Qingyun lit a fire with dead branches and prepared to barbecue.
As soon as Ning Qingyun put the meat on the fire, his nose smelled the alluring aroma of barbecue and the smell of fragrant rice. Ning Qingyun frowned, and a trace of disgust appeared on his face.
"Boss, these are skewers made from the meat of young spotted deer. I seasoned it with red salt, sugar, cumin, minced garlic, chili powder, pepper oil, sesame oil, and fish sauce. It's not greasy or dry. The meat is delicate, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and delicious, come and try it." Yunshan walked out of a cave covered with dead vines, dragging a stainless steel tray in his hand, on which dozens of A skewer of grilled meat with a fragrant aroma and an attractive color, a bowl of white rice, a few skewers of green peppers, a few skewers of mushrooms, and a few skewers of green vegetables.
Ning Qingyun didn't seem to hear anything. He kept his eyes straight and continued to roast the wolf meat in his hand with concentration. The smell of burnt meat in the air was getting stronger and stronger, which was clearly distinct from the alluring aroma emanating from the barbecue on the tray in Yunshan's hand. , Gradually, there was a trend of fighting against etiquette.
Yunshan saw that the large piece of wolf meat in Ning Qingyun's hand had turned into a large piece of charcoal. He couldn't bear to look directly at it. He hesitated several times and watched Ning Qingyun use the knife to cut off the charred outer surface. Then he brushed the cooked layer under the slices, chewed it a few times before swallowing it, and then continued to put the large piece of meat on the fire to roast.
"Boss, is wolf meat delicious?" Yunshan couldn't help but ask.
Ning Qingyun glanced at him lightly.
"I heard that wolf meat is sour and woody. This kind of wind wolf should also be a kind of wolf, right? There is obviously delicious venison, so don't embarrass yourself." Yunshan looked at him and lost another layer of burnt meat. The wolf meat was mushy, and he planned to eat the roasted layer inside, so he couldn't help but persuade him.
