Zhang Liang was advancing with the large army, and he soon discovered the strangeness of this ancient treasure land.
The Great Elder led the people without entering the water or landing on any islands they saw along the way.
Although Zhang Liang's senses could not penetrate into the sea, Zhang Liang could see some strange creatures on those islands.
For example, he saw a plant hundreds of meters high, like a beanstalk, but with many tentacles hanging down from the sky.
For example, he saw an island covered with bright red flowers. The flowers were surprisingly large, some were several feet or even dozens of feet wide.
For example, he saw an island full of dead trees. At first glance, they looked like dead trees, but if he took a closer look, he found that those dead trees were actually some kind of creatures sleeping, a bit like stick insects.
Zhang Liang would even see some black shadows swimming on the water. Those shadows seemed a bit transparent, and bones could be seen, but no flesh and blood was visible.
Rao Yaoyao quietly came to Zhang Liang and sent a message: "The palace master has told me that I will give you something later."
"Um?"
Zhang Liang said, why don't you talk to yourself in the outside world? Instead, you talk about it inside.
Zhang Liang remained calm until more than half an hour later, when the great elder took the initiative to lead everyone to a relatively empty area, and then let everyone disperse and look for opportunities.
Zhang Liang naturally walked with Rao Yaoyao, and the two casually looked for a direction until there was no one else around. Rao Yaoyao then took out a jade slip and said, "This is given to you by the palace master."
Zhang Liang took the jade slip, scanned it with his senses, and immediately raised his eyebrows, realizing that it was a map of an ancient treasure land.
He had been wondering before, thinking that if this place was really that big, wouldn't there be some kind of map? After all, the three major sects have entered many times.
Moreover, when the great elder said to disperse, everyone immediately dispersed and walked very quickly. At that time, he guessed that everyone else might have a map, but he did not.
At this moment, seeing the map, Zhang Liang suddenly realized that it wasn't that he didn't have one, but that his map might be different from others.
Sure enough, when Zhang Liang scanned the jade slip, he found that it contained all the maps of the ancient treasure land here. Yes, it includes the area where the Qi training period is located, as well as the map of the resource area and the current dangerous place. There are many places marked on these maps, and many of them are crossed out. It is very likely that Lingxian Palace has already identified secret realms that have been explored.
When Zhang Liang took a closer look, he found that the islands that the Great Elder had led everyone past but did not stop at were all marked with a cross. Obviously, the Great Elder knew all this and was not going to waste time in this place.
Zhang Liang: "Since you have a map, why didn't you give it to me outside?"
Rao Yaoyao: "Look again."
Zhang Liang had indeed just scanned it hastily. Now he took a closer look at it and saw that in addition to the crossed places, there were also some very specific red circle marks. There were not many of these red circles, and they were not conspicuous in this map full of islands and mountains in the sea, so Zhang Liang didn't notice them just now.
"So, these red markers are real dangerous areas?"
Rao Yaoyao: "It is an extremely dangerous place. The palace master said that this may be dangerous for other people, but for you, it may be an opportunity. The thing you are looking for is likely to be somewhere among these marks. But if No, she doesn’t know where to look for it. In addition, the palace master also has a verbal suggestion, I wonder if you will agree to it."
"Oh? What advice?"
Rao Yaoyao: "The three major realms are interconnected. The resource realms at this moment are all people from Tianlei Sect and Shuiyun Temple. So for us, Lingxian Palace, there is no need to go. However, that is For others. But if it’s like you, maybe you can stop exploring in danger and directly enter the resource realm. What do you think?”
"She really thinks highly of me."
Zhang Liang shrugged and smiled, thinking that Luo Xian was actually very smart.
In fact, to be honest, he had also considered it. For me, the biggest danger in this trip is not the foundation-building monks of Tianlei Sect and Shuiyun Temple, but the catastrophe that I don't know what it is.
On the contrary, most of the peak foundation building of Tianlei Sect and Shuiyun Temple have entered the dangerous area. Therefore, although the resource area at this moment seems to have a lot of people, in fact, the combat power is not necessarily the strongest. And if he takes the opportunity to rush in, he might be able to grab a lot of opportunities.
No, Zhang Liang looked at the map about the resource area and immediately discovered that there were some clear markings on it.
For example, it is clearly stated on the map that in the Resource Realm, there are several resources that are extremely helpful in advancing to the Golden Core Realm. One is something called the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit, which is on an ancient Seven-Star Tree in the Resource Realm. The second is a spiritual fruit called Golden Bodhi, which is on a golden tree in the resource realm. The third is something called the Void Tea Tree, which states that Void Tea has the effect of greatly improving understanding.
And these three items are the three most precious items in the resource realm.
To be honest, Zhang Liang was a little tempted. Because he had seen these three items in the library of Lingxian Palace. The book said they were extremely rare, so Zhang Liang didn't pay much attention to them at that time. The so-called Seven-Star Spiritual Fruit is said to increase the probability of forming a pill by 30%, but it only takes 700 years for this fruit to be produced, so it is very rare.
Although Zhang Liang may not necessarily need it, there is absolutely no harm in having this kind of treasure on his body.
Next is the Golden Bodhi, which is a great body-refining medicine. Its body-refining effect is said to allow an ordinary person to reach the third level of body-refining in just three years, and it continues to be effective. For Zhang Liang, who is about to reach the peak of the sixth level of body training, the effect is probably not bad.
As for the last void tea leaf, this thing is relatively void, and it is said that it can improve understanding. It may not be of much help in improving one's own cultivation, but it is of great benefit in refining alchemy, refining weapons, making talismans, drawing formation diagrams, building ships, etc. It can improve one's understanding in a short period of time.
To be honest, Zhang Liang wanted it too. Currently, I am only a little bit more powerful at the first level of the formation, but I am only at the second-level mid-level stage. Of course he knows that formations and talisman making are quite powerful if you practice them to a certain level, but learning these always requires a lot of time. Although I am not short of time, if I want to become proficient and practice these to a high level, it will always take time to accumulate.
But if there was a shortcut, he wouldn't want to miss it.
"Okay~"
Zhang Liang did not refuse. He knew what Luo Xian meant. She told herself all the things she had ordered, not that she really wanted to pick them for herself, but that she wanted to use her own power to kill some Tianleizong and Shuiyun. A strong foundation builder.
This is not a plan. If Zhang Liang is willing to go, then go. If he doesn't want to go, then he won't go.
However, compared to directly looking for the unknown golden book page in a dangerous place, and the catastrophe he might face when looking for the golden book page, Zhang Liang felt that if he could get something like the Golden Bodhi first, it would definitely not be a problem. Bad thing.
Therefore, Zhang Liang did not refuse.
"I will go with you."
Rao Yaoyao said this simply. Since Luo Xian asked her to deliver the news, she was naturally prepared to take risks alone.
However, Zhang Liang shook his head: "I am used to acting alone. If you want to go, go by yourself!"
It's not that Zhang Liang doesn't want to find a partner, it's that he has too many secrets, and it's not suitable to expose them in front of Rao Yaoyao when necessary.
"OK"
Rao Yaoyao's answer was also straightforward.
Seeing that Zhang Liang rejected her outright, Rao Yaoyao did not refuse. She was not familiar with Zhang Liang. Although she admitted that Zhang Liang was very strong, she had never been the kind of person to be hot-faced and cold-butt.
After collecting the map, Zhang Liang flew directly towards the resource realm without hesitation.
He guessed that Luo Xian did not just suggest that he go to the Resource Realm alone. If the people from Tianlei Sect and Shuiyun Temple got the Seven Star Spirit Fruit, they might not be able to create another powerful pill-forming person. By then, the status of Lingxian Palace would be Even more precarious.
Therefore, he bet that there must be someone doing the same thing as him.
Zhang Liang even guessed that it would not be easy to go there. Tianlei Sect and Shuiyun Temple were not fools and would not let the powerful men from Lingxian Palace rush to the resource realm.
Moreover, according to the map, leading to the resource realm requires crossing a large mountain range in a dangerous area. As a barrier between realms, it is not likely to be that simple.
"Brush~"
Zhang Liang walked with his sword. Although he was not sure, if he walked directly on the water, he might encounter some dangers. At present, it seemed that only the air was safe.
However, the only unfriendly thing about walking with a sword is that it consumes a lot of spiritual energy. However, for the sake of his own safety and a smooth journey, Zhang Liang did not save these spiritual energy.
However, even so, Zhang Liang still encountered some troubles after wielding the sword for more than three hundred miles. Above a sea area, there was a continuous mountain range with some strange plants on it. When Zhang Liang passed by this area, a large stream of light suddenly shot out from these sea mountains and was aimed at Zhang Liang. Its speed was so fast that Zhang Liang suddenly realized that he couldn't dodge it simply by flying at the speed of his sword.
Although he didn't know what these things were specifically, Zhang Liang had no intention of staying here longer. Therefore, he directly offered a black fish guardian scroll.
"Bang bang bang~"
When the stream of light bombarded the protective barrier, Zhang Liangcai saw that it was a strange seed similar to bamboo dragonflies and small bean sprouts. Yes, it’s the seeds. When these seeds hit the protective barrier, they exploded directly, erupting with a powerful impact, accompanied by some green toxins, which seemed to corrode the protective barrier.
But fortunately, the black fish guardians on Zhang Liang are now basically at the level of peak foundation building, or even stronger. Therefore, although these seeds are powerful, they still cannot break through the black fish guardians.
Zhang Liang lowered his head and looked at the mountain, and found strange plants similar to lotus pods growing all over the mountains and plains. These seeds were shot out from these lotus pods.
Fortunately, this journey was not long, lasting less than thirty breaths. Just when these bugs were about to break through the black fish's protection, Zhang Liang successfully passed through.
Of course, this is just a small episode and not really dangerous.
It was not until more than an hour later that Zhang Liang had to stop and rest, so he had to take out the dragon cruise ship and stay temporarily on the sea.
The spiritual energy in the body of the foundation-building monks cannot allow them to continue walking with the sword, so resting in the middle is necessary.
The moment he landed on the sea, Zhang Liang immediately released hundreds of second-order jasper cockroaches, scattering them in the sea. At the same time, he directly took out a bottle of Qi Restoration Pill and began to recover.
However, not long after the Jasper Cockroach entered the sea, Zhang Liang saw a broken seabed appearing on the seabed through the perspective of the spirit worm. Zhang Liang had never seen this kind of seabed style before. The ground was covered with rubble and the ground was uneven. It felt like the ground was squeezed by a huge force and the whole ground was broken.
They stopped at Zhang Liang for less than a hundred breaths, but what was supposed to come came anyway. I saw a large group of bony fish that looked like they only had fish bones but no fish meat, attacking quickly. After discovering Zhang Liang, they even started to speed up. .
"咻咻咻~"
The next moment, these bone fish leapt out of the water, like saw-toothed sickles, slashing towards Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang was already prepared, and he directly threw two second-level high-quality iron ball sea urchins. Faced with this intensive attack, what could be more suitable than the iron ball sea urchin?
But he saw steel spikes sweeping across the sky, quickly crushing these bone fish.
At this moment, a message appeared in Zhang Liang's head: "White Bone Spirit Fish, fish after death, are contaminated with death energy and resurrected, becoming unconscious undead spirit fish. They are extremely aggressive. Complete death is their best destination."
"Um?"
"Dead things can still fight?"
Zhang Liang had never heard of or seen such a strange thing. It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a strange thing. He said that this fish didn't even have meat, so what the hell was it?
But this was just the beginning. Through the perception of spiritual insects, Zhang Liang discovered that a large number of bubbles emerged from the seabed, and some white threads quickly emerged from the cracks in the rocks on the seafloor.
“Is this not giving people time to rest and recover?”
These white threads are coming slowly, mainly because there are too many of them, hundreds of meters in radius, and they are constantly bubbling.
With a thought, Zhang Liang began to control the spirit insects, bit off some and quickly sent them up.
In my mind, information emerged again: "Netherworld Poisonous Algae, a kind of algae that lives under the seabed, is formed by being contaminated with death energy. This spiritual plant has extremely strong regenerative properties, and it reproduces very quickly, and is born by absorbing death energy. Once When it entangles the enemy, it will inject element into it, penetrate into the enemy's body, and absorb the enemy's essence and blood. Once this seaweed appears, it means it is everywhere."
Suddenly, Zhang Liang felt that more than a dozen of the second-order jade cockroaches he had scattered had died. This made him feel nervous. The second-order jasper cockroaches were very fast, but they still killed more than a dozen of them. This only meant that the number of the Nether Poisonous Algae was too large and too dense to be avoided.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang didn't dare to stay. He immediately retrieved the jade cockroach, attached it to the bottom of the boat, and immediately controlled the Dragon Boat Cruise to leave.
In fact, Zhang Liang has a better Escape Boat, but Escape Boat also consumes spiritual energy. Although it can be replenished directly with spiritual stones, at this moment, he lacks spiritual energy, so he must find a place to rest first.
It would be best to wait until you have rested before using the Dunhaizhou.
However, after traveling for only a few dozen breaths, Zhang Liang was shocked to find that the sea ahead was covered with Netherworld poisonous algae.
"Brush~"
As a last resort, Zhang Liang rose up with his sword again.
"Are you forcing me to go to the island?"
Zhang Liang originally wanted to go to the resource realm quickly, but he didn't expect that he was forced to stop before he had even walked a quarter of the way.
If he never finds the right time to restore his spiritual energy, he will be consumed alive in this sea. Or, he could only stay on the sea surface briefly each time to briefly recover a little spiritual energy. This makes this journey, which is only a few thousand miles, go extremely slowly.
In the end, Zhang Liang had to look at a hazy sea island in the distance.
However, what Zhang Liang didn't know was that just a few dozen breaths after he left the sea, a piece of gravel on the seabed was pushed away by a huge force. A man with a broken body, broken clothes, dried flesh and mutilated flesh crawled out from the rubble. After the man climbed out, he pushed aside a large area of poisonous netherworld algae, with some blue light dancing in his eyes, and quickly swam in the direction Zhang Liang had left.
Soon, Zhang Liang arrived at the island dozens of miles away. A thousand meters away from the island, Zhang Liang saw a bamboo forest.
This made Zhang Liang hesitate. There was something strange about this ancient treasure land. He found that most of the plants on every island he passed along the way were different.
As for this bamboo forest, there was no cross or other mark on the map given by Luo Xian. This only means two possibilities, one is that the people from Lingxian Palace have not explored this bamboo forest, the other is that someone has come to explore it before, but failed to leave alive, so there is no relevant record.
It would be okay if it was the first type. After all, there are many small islands like this in this ancient treasure land, so it is normal for them not to be explored.
But if it is the second type, it means that this bamboo forest is dangerous.
Just when Zhang Liang was about to land on the island, the World Divine Mirror suddenly trembled slightly.
"Danger warning?"
Zhang Liang was a little depressed. The World Divine Mirror hadn't given him a danger warning for a long time. Although the danger warning this time was not strong, it at least meant that there was danger here.
After a slight hesitation, Zhang Liang fell down. He could not keep flying in the sky. Not just him, even the great elders and other veteran foundation-building peaks cannot fly in the sky all the time. After all, they are all foundation-building. No matter how strong they are, how much stronger can they be?
"Bang!"
Zhang Liang landed and stood on the edge of the bamboo forest, only to hear a strange "ding-ding-dong-dong" sound in the forest.
"Is there something?"
As seen from the air just now, the island is not big, only three thousand meters in length and breadth. In such a small place, even if there is something, it is not difficult to find it.
"go!"
As soon as he landed on the ground, Zhang Liang scattered ten thousand first-grade high-quality jade cockroaches. As far as the number of spiritual insects is concerned, Zhang Liang doesn't have to worry about not having enough. He has a lot of spiritual insects in his hands. Twenty years ago, the total number of spiritual insects on his body exceeded 50 million.
Even now, there are more than eight million spiritual insects on his body.
A mere drizzle of ten thousand first-order high-grade spiritual insects.
"Ding dong~dong dong~wow~"
However, not long after Zhang Liang released the spiritual insects, before he could even spread them out, a sweet bamboo sound sounded in the bamboo forest, as if someone was playing a flute.
"sound?"
Zhang Liang heard the story that bamboo can make pleasant sounds, but that is because there are special bamboos in the bamboo forest that can be used to make fine bamboo flutes and the like. But in fact, those are mostly just stories, at least ordinary people like Zhang Liang will not encounter them.
But at this moment, the bamboos around Zhang Liang were all making sounds. The key was that these sounds were not exactly the same. Zhang Liang is not stupid, so he naturally knows that this is definitely not a normal phenomenon.
Sure enough, Zhang Liang felt a little dazed the next moment. He seemed to see someone looking at him in the bamboo forest.
"who?"
With a move of his head, Zhang Liangliang immediately controlled thousands of bamboo leaves, injected spiritual energy into them, and swept them away immediately.
"Kakaka~"
A large piece of bamboo was cut off, but the figure disappeared. I don't know if it was hidden among the bamboo leaves.
Suddenly, Zhang Liang felt a murderous intention behind him. He didn't have time to turn around and threw out a knife with his backhand. The thunder and lightning on the knife body were intertwined, which was the Thunder Water Sword Technique.
It's not that he has no other moves to use, but the thunder has the ability to paralyze, and the speed will be faster when it explodes. It's just right to use it at a time like this.
With one slash of his sword, Zhang Liang swept dozens of feet and took out two iron ball sea urchins. Faced with a sudden attack, the iron ball sea urchin's intensive attacks can buy him time.
However, when Zhang Liang turned around, he saw Rao Yaoyao holding a sword and pointing at him.
"It's you?"
Rao Yaoyao said indifferently: "It's me. Should I call you Zhang Fei or Zhang Liang?"
Zhang Liang was silent for a moment: "When did you find out?"
"It seems that you admitted it."
Rao Yaoyao was full of murderous intent: "I have never discovered it, just a guess. I don't think the life blood fruit will be found frequently. And if you and Zhang Liang are the same person, it means that you have never been weak. It also means that you were already extraordinary when you were on Qingfeng Island. So, Lei Yun’s death has something to do with you, right?"
Seeing that he had been exposed, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief: "Well! I was discovered by you after all. I didn't expect that after more than fifty years, you still haven't let go. Why, you want to kill me?"
"kill!"
After saying that, Rao Yaoyao's sword came out like a rainbow, and the sharp sword intent swept across ten feet, neat and clean.
However, Zhang Liang was no longer afraid of Rao Yaoyao. With a backhand push of the fish-cutting knife in his hand, he easily cut off the sword. The swords clashed, and the sword intent spread out in all directions, leaving sword lights and sword marks all over the ground.
"Huh? No..."
Suddenly, Zhang Liang frowned. He could not feel the killing intent in this sword.
Yes, he felt the killing intent in Rao Yaoyao, but he didn't feel the killing intent in this sword. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be.
"you……"
Suddenly, Zhang Liang's head moved, because he saw nothing from the spirit insect's field of vision, and there was no one in front of him at all.
"Fake? Hallucination?"
Zhang Liang's head felt cold, and he cut the fish knife in his hand quickly through the surrounding bamboo forest, only to see a large piece of bamboo falling over, making a "ding-ding-dong-dong" sound.
At this moment, Rao Yaoyao has disappeared.
Once the illusion is seen through, it becomes ineffective.
After recovering from the hallucination, Zhang Liang saw sword marks all around him and his face was solemn.
Rao Yaoyao is fake, but the sword intention is real. It seems that this bamboo forest can not only create illusions, but they can also make the power of illusions manifest. This is the most terrifying thing.
At this moment, Zhang Liangliang received a message: "Phantom Sound Bamboo, through the melody, can make people feel lost and fall into hallucinations the moment they first hear it. Once the illusion cannot be broken, Phantom Sound Bamboo can materialize the attacks in the illusion. .The Phantom Bamboo is used to make flute-like weapons and has a hallucinogenic effect.”
Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel awe-struck. It turned out that he had already hit the ground the moment he landed.
"A demonic plant? The ancient fierce place is indeed well-deserved."
