Since Xihuang was too far away from Tang State, even if the group traveled non-stop, they would not be able to reach it within a few days.
Just when Lin Yan and others were confused, Professor Liu Chuang explained:
"It will take some time to open the ruins, so don't be too anxious!" Although they didn't know why the teacher was so sure, they thought the academy had some way to get information quickly, so they nodded and didn't ask again.
The group of people traveled day and night, and after nearly half a month, they finally arrived in the Western Wilderness. Liu Chuang took them into a building called
In the small town of "Da Huang City", he stopped in front of a remote courtyard. Liu Chuang knocked lightly on the courtyard door, and soon someone opened the door.
When everyone looked around, they saw that the person was wearing indigo blue coarse cloth clothes. He had a round face with some freckles on it. When he smiled, he was not annoying, but rather cute.
As soon as he saw Liu Chuang, he happily greeted him and cupped his hands, saying:
"Jiaoxi Liu, you are here!" Liu Chuang smiled and patted his shoulder and said:
"Let's go in and talk!" After that, the group of people entered the yard. After introducing each other, Lin Yan and others found out that this young man's name was Qian Duoduo. He was originally the young boss of a large chamber of commerce, but for some reason he did not want to inherit the family business and instead wanted to study in an academy.
However, he was not strong enough and failed the academy's assessment several times. He could only become an expatriate to collect information and provide information for the academy. Once he made meritorious deeds, he could become an official disciple of the academy.
In fact, there are many people like him. After all, the academy enrolls a small number of students each year and the assessment is extremely strict. Those who can pass are the proud ones of heaven.
However, even ordinary people with average talents have the right to learn, and they also have dreams.
However, for this dream, they need to make efforts that are far more than twice that of ordinary people, and it will also be accompanied by great risks. This is the price!
Knowing this, Lin Yan also respected them from the bottom of his heart, because those who work hard to pursue their dreams are the most respectable!
Judging from Liu Chuang's attitude towards Qian Duoduo, it was obvious that the two had known each other before, and the subsequent conversation with the latter confirmed this idea.
Qian Duoduo said to Lin Yan and the others:
"The place where I am stationed is too remote. Not only is the environment difficult, but there are also rare opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Every time Teacher Liu passes by on a mission, he always makes a detour to see me, so we are very familiar with each other!" Then, he He scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"Speaking of which, it was thanks to Professor Liu that I was able to stay in the academy as an expatriate!" He wanted to enter the academy and become a learned and talented teacher in the future, teach and educate people, and spread his talents all over the world. How wonderful would that be? ah!
But things went against his wishes. No matter how hard he worked, his talent always limited his growth. Fortunately, he met Liu Chuang at that time. From this child, Liu Chuang saw the self who wanted to become stronger back then, so he got a foreigner for him. quota.
It's just that this child's strength has progressed very slowly. At his age, he is already qualified to be Lin Yan's senior, but his strength has just reached the Perfect Body Tempering Realm and has yet to break through to the Tongmai Realm.
Liu Chuang sighed and said to him:
"If the academy can gain something from the ruins this time, I can report it to the academy and ask for a pill for you to use to break through, and you can study in the academy in the future!" Qian Duoduo was surprised and happy when he heard this, A pair of little eyes almost narrowed into crescent moons with joy, thinking: Finally, is it time?
... Since there were still three days before the ruins would be opened, Lin Yan and his party temporarily stayed in the small courtyard.
This deserted city is located on the border, close to the deserted abyss. In the past, few people came to it, and it was extremely desolate. There is a dominant kingdom in the Western Wasteland, called the Kingdom of Jin. However, in recent years, the royal court's control over the territory has weakened, which has led to a mixture of dragons and snakes in border areas such as Dahuang City, causing chaos.
In addition, news of the recent discovery of the ruins has spread like wildfire, and various forces have gathered in this small town, resulting in a rapid increase in population. Corresponding service places such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation are also springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and the overall situation presents a false prosperity. .
Due to the complicated situation in the city, Lin Yan and others practiced peacefully in the courtyard and waited for the ruins to be opened.
...Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, a beam of light rose into the sky, followed by a sharp energy sweeping in all directions.
The ruins are open! The previous light beam exposed the existence of the ruins and was also a sign of its opening, but this time it was truly fully opened.
At this moment, all the forces reacted instantly and rushed to the abyss. Upon seeing this, Liu Chuang also greeted everyone:
"Let's go too!" Lin Yan and others nodded after hearing this, and followed Liu Chuang towards the wilderness. As for Qian Duoduo, since he is weak and is responsible for intelligence work, he will stay here for the time being. at.
The opening of this ruins is inside the Abyss. This Abyss is also an extremely mysterious area. No one knows when it existed, and no one knows why it appeared. They only know that the interior is suspected to be an ancient area. The battlefield is full of danger!
Not long after, Liu Chuang led Lin Yan and others to the entrance of the Abyss. By this time, people from other forces had almost arrived.
Lin Yan and others looked up and took a breath of cold air.
"Hiss~~" I saw that the abyss in front of me was about a few hundred feet wide and a thousand feet high. The cliffs on both sides were rugged and steep. Looking inward from the entrance, I didn't know how many miles it stretched, and there were dark holes. , just like a giant beast from the abyss is opening its bloody mouth to choose someone and devour it, it is terrifying!
Liu Chuang looked around, then led Lin Yan and others towards the front, where people from the Daoist Xuantian Sect and the Buddha Sect had already arrived.
This is not because Liu Chuang is willing to deal with them. After all, although the three religions are equally famous, they are in competition with each other. Especially in recent years, frictions have become more and more frequent.
But how can this ruins be so easy to enter? Therefore, we can only cooperate for a short period of time, and we have to wait until we enter the competition to talk about competition.
Seeing Liu Chuang coming, people from the surrounding forces also turned their attention to them. After all, people from the academy were coming, and they had to pay attention!
A middle-aged Taoist came from the Xuantian Sect, wearing a gray Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk, and carrying a Taoist sword. He had a certain air of immortality.
This person's name is Zhou Tuanxi, an elder of Xuantian Sect and the leader of the Taoist sect this time. He looked at Liu Chuang, who looked slovenly, and said:
"Teacher Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so unkempt. This will bring shame to the academy!" Liu Chuang crossed his arms and gave him a sideways glance, saying:
"It's not your turn to take care of how our academy is doing! There are some people who look like dogs in their clothes, but they are beautiful on the outside but ruined on the inside!" Zhou Tuanxi said angrily when he heard this:
"Liu Chuang, who are you talking about?" Liu Chuang said calmly:
"Just tell whoever is in a hurry!" Zhou Tuanxi pointed with his hand and said in a trembling voice:
"You..." Just as the two people were about to start fighting, suddenly a voice came from the side.
"Amitabha"! Everyone turned around and saw a kind-hearted monk coming with his hands clasped together and chanting the Buddha's name. It was the spiritual master who led the Buddhist sect.
This person is also a highly respected person in the Buddhist sect, and he is particularly well versed in the art of fighting. He walked between Liu Chuang and Liu Chuang and said:
"Two donors, when the ruins are opened, peace should be the most important thing!" When Liu Chuang saw the old monk coming out, he knew that there would be no quarrel, so he helplessly spread his hands, saying that he didn't care!
Zhou Tuanxi snorted coldly and stopped pestering him. With the people from the three religions gathered together, it’s time to enter the ruins!
Lin Yan was standing in the team at this time, looking at the people around him with either awe or fear, and feeling a little emotional.
I think that when they were in the Yalongshan Tomb, Meng Feiyu and other members of the Three Religions were probably just like him today.
I didn't expect that one day I would rely on the academy and use the tiger's skin as a banner. Things are really unpredictable! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh a little, but it wasn't suitable to laugh out loud, so I shrugged my shoulders a little.
Yuan Hao thought he was nervous, pointed to the black iron rod in his hand, and signaled him not to worry.
This time the ruins are inside the abyss, so they have to pass the previous levels first. In addition to the people of the three religions, there are also some local local forces, such as the Thousand Puppet Sect, the Beast Control Sect, the Vajra Sect, etc., as well as some small forces and wanderers, and there are a large number of them.
Led by the three religions, followed by the rest of the forces and rangers, they formed a team and headed towards the interior of the abyss.
During the flyby, Liu Chuang turned around and whispered a few words. Tu Tian, Yuan Hao and Chen Jia formed a triangle and surrounded Lin Yan. After all, they were still newcomers, so the situation would be very chaotic later. , This can prevent them from being in danger.
Not long after the team moved forward, they felt that the surroundings were becoming more and more desolate. As they walked inside, the sunlight gradually disappeared, and a cold feeling filled the space.
"Be careful!" Liu Chuang and other three masters in front stopped, and then warned loudly. After everyone stopped, they felt that the fog around them was getting thicker and the visibility was getting lower.
And there seems to be a hint of sweetness in the air, making people want to take a few more breaths. Lin Yan instinctively sensed something was wrong, secretly running his skills and paying careful attention to his surroundings.
At the same time, a rustling sound came, and before everyone could react, many snakes suddenly emerged from the ground and attacked the warriors. Although most people escaped the attack due to the previous reminder, there were still some The warrior was caught off guard and bitten by a snake, and died in an instant!
"Poisonous!" Everyone exclaimed. As soon as they finished speaking, countless venomous snakes suddenly sprang out from the surrounding grass. They were densely packed and numbered in the thousands.
This poisonous snake is different from ordinary ones. Although its defense is average, even a skilled warrior will die within a few breaths after being bitten. The poison is extremely violent.
Just when everyone was on guard, they faintly discovered something was wrong. The movement of vitality in their bodies was blocked. Could it be... No, this mist is poisonous!
