Deep in Cangyan Valley.
Jiang Yuebai and his party took advantage of the night to pass through the outer maze and arrived at the entrance of the secret realm. The teams of each sect had basically assembled and were queuing up to check the tokens.
Surrounded by reddish-brown mountains, with sparse vegetation and rugged rocks, there is only this open land in front of you.
Eighteen stone pillars covered with traces of time are still standing, with ancient runes carved on them, which are very mysterious.
Jiang Yuebai raised his head and felt that there seemed to be someone sitting cross-legged on the top of the stone pillar. The heat wave was rolling in the sky, blocking his consciousness and vision, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Junior sister Jiang."
Zheng Chong, who looked to be in his twenties and looked ordinary, walked up to Jiang Yuebai.
"Junior sister enters the secret realm for the first time and has to undertake such an important task. Please allow me to say something to remind junior sister."
Jiang Yuebai's attitude was calm, "Please give me some advice from Senior Brother Zheng."
Zheng Chong said, "Although our Tianyan Sect is not inferior to Guiyuan Sword Sect and Jingangtai in terms of strength, in the secret realm, other sect disciples still do not take our disciples seriously, especially Baiyang Sect, Chixiao Sect, and Eclipse Sect. There have been a lot of frictions between the disciples of the third sect and the disciples of my sect in the past few months, so Junior Sister Jiang should be careful when seeing them."
"Go, go, don't destroy your prestige. Junior sister, don't listen to him. Follow us closely after you enter. We will protect you."
When Gu Liu came over, Zheng Chong looked for displeasure, shook his head and stepped aside.
"Don't be afraid, Junior Sister Jiang. As long as we work together and don't get left alone, there will be nothing to fear in the secret realm."
Jiang Yuebai adhered to the principle of talking less and listening more and watching more, and patiently listened to what Gu Liu said.
Not long after, Yu Qiuchi came back with the checked token and asked everyone to follow her in.
Zheng Chong and Gu Liu followed Yu Qiuchi, while Jiang Yuebai ran to Yun Shang and Ge Yuchan.
"Have you ever dealt with either of them?"
Both of them shook their heads, and Jiang Yuebai said no more.
Yun Shang looked at Yu Qiuchi's back from time to time, feeling a little uncomfortable, "It must be her again, deliberately placing me under her, disgusting!"
Jiang Yuebai didn't listen to what Yun Shang said. He looked at the team in front and recalled what Lu Nazhi said.
The disciples of the Eclipse Sect wear red robes, the Scarlet Sky Sect wears purple robes, and the Baiyang Sect wears dark red clothes. These three sects all focus on fire magic for refining weapons. The disciples of the Linghe Sect have crane patterns on their clothes. The Yuling Sect is more casual. But they are all beast masters, and they wear spirit beast bags on their demons.
There are also pink female cultivators from Feihua Sect, Liuyun Sect disciples carry spiritual water gourds with them, and Qianfu Sect members have red talismans painted on the backs of their yellow robes, and their outer robes are spiritual talismans.
The Jingangtai are all warrior monks with sticks. The Guiyuan Sword Sect has known them for a long time. The other sects also have their own characteristics and are easy to identify.
As the teams entered one after another, Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up.
Stranger!
To the west of Wuzhou across the Chiyang Mountains is the Fire Feather Kingdom, which is the closest foreign country to the three continents of the Central Plains.
At this time, there were many strangers with bird wings on their backs and thick and wide feet, carrying heavy supplies on their backs. They lined up and followed the foundation-building monks of various sects into the center of the stone pillar. They disappeared as the formation was activated.
Seeing Jiang Yuebai's curiosity, Ge Yuchan explained in a low voice, "These are the Yu clan strangers enslaved by the Eclipse Sect. Ordinary storage bags only have one foot square space. Many large and special materials still have to be transported by manpower. Now outside the secret realm The outpost camp is being built, and these aliens have been doing the hard work.”
"They are so pitiful." Yun Shang whispered.
Jiang Yuebai frowned slightly. Those strangers wore rune necklaces around their necks. Some were young and strong, some were women, children, old and young. They all had tired and miserable faces, and their shoulders were bruised and bruised by materials, and they had difficulty moving.
"Hurry up, walk faster, do you want to get whipped?"
There were disciples of the Eclipse Sect beside them, waving their whips to drive them away.
Jiang Yuebai looked around. Most of the people were unsurprised and indifferent, while some showed unbearable and sympathetic expressions. Perhaps they were all young disciples who, like her, had seen such a scene for the first time.
Maybe one day, she will become one of those people who are not surprised. Thinking about it carefully, it is really sad!
But she doesn't have the strength and courage to change the world of cultivation.
"It's our turn."
Yu Qiuchi asked everyone to wait inside the stone pillar. She went to the side to draw lots. Zhuo Qingfeng and his party also came in together. The two parties nodded to each other without saying anything.
Strangers carrying supplies came one after another behind everyone.
A strange girl who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old suddenly fell down in front of everyone.
"You are looking for death with your hands and feet!"
Snapped!
The whip came, and the alien girl trembled all over and tensed up to resist.
Before the whip fell, it was caught in Jiang Yuebai's hand.
"I'm still standing here. Aren't you afraid of hitting me with your whip?"
The Eclipse Sect disciple apologized, Jiang Yuebai stretched out his hand to pull the alien girl up, "Go to the back."
The alien girl looked at Jiang Yuebai cautiously, moved a pair of gray-brown wings behind her back, and quickly retreated to the back of the team.
"Xiaoque, are you okay?"
The foreign girl shook her head and secretly looked at Jiang Yuebai's back with envy in her eyes.
Yu Qiuchi and the captains of other teams came back after drawing lots, and spiritual energy surged in the disc-shaped talisman array under their feet.
For a moment, he looked away, and when he focused his gaze again, everyone was already in a secret realm.
There is no scorching sun above the head, the red clouds are like fire, scorching the earth.
They were on high ground at this time, and what they saw was still thousands of miles of red land, rugged rock formations, and mountains upon layers.
The uncanny workmanship of the canyon is winding and twisting, like an unruly giant python, crawling in the fire, vigorous and magnificent.
Not far away, the clanking sound of rock cutting echoed in the valley. A large number of strangers were standing on the mountain cliffs, building outpost camps.
"Everyone takes a fire-preventing pill, and then sticks the eighth-grade Pure Heart Talisman on it. Remember to replace it at any time. There is evil in the fire here, so be careful."
Yu Qiuchi reminded him and glanced at Yun Shang.
Zheng Chong and Gu Liu took the elixir as soon as they came in. Ge Yuchan handed the elixir to Jiang Yuebai. Jiang Yuebai patted the storage bag and said, "I have it."
After taking the fire-preventing pill, the feeling of heat in the body was relieved. Jiang Yuebai inspired another eighth-grade Qingxin Talisman and slapped it on his chest.
Fu Guang swept across the body, leaving a faint halo, which separated the heat wave, and the tightness and heat pain in the skin was mostly reduced.
The teams that had just come in gathered together, and the strangers lined up in a long line, walking like ants towards the outpost camp being built ahead.
Yu Qiuchi distributed the jade talisman for leaving to several people, and specifically told Jiang Yuebai: "Every time the secret realm formation is opened, it requires the power of eighteen Nascent Soul Lords, so it will only be opened once every seven days. Induction The jade talisman will take people out. The area around the camp is safe at the moment. There is a large formation guarding us. Don’t worry.”
"When this formation is successful and the rules are stable, we can establish long-term entrances and exits, so our mission is crucial."
Gu Liu said, "Senior Sister Yu, let's see what we draw first."
Yu Qiuchi set up a soundproof array, took out the jade beads he got before coming in, and after sensing them, his face changed slightly.
"It's a real sign, the Snake Valley in the north."
Zheng Chong looked stern, "So far! The Coiled Snake Valley is the territory of the Red Thread Jiao. It also has to pass through the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts, Broken Heart Slope and the Evil Blood River. It was only discovered seven days ago. It is also the farthest that can be explored in the Cangyan Land. place."
Gu Liu's face was full of horror, "We are also quite unlucky."
Yu Qiuchi glanced at Yun Shang with worry in his eyes.
"Since you have drawn this lottery, you must complete the mission. If the formation cannot be set up because of us, everyone will be punished."
Jiang Yuebai saw that Ge Yuchan's expression was as usual, Yun Shang was actually a little excited, but she didn't feel anything at all.
The three of them are typical newborn calves not afraid of tigers!
"The journey is long, so start early. I will take the lead in the wild goose formation, Jiang Yuebai and you will be behind me on the right, Ge Yuchan will be behind me on the left, Gu Liu and Zheng Chong will be at the bottom on the left and right, and Yun Shang... you will follow me in the middle."
Yun Shang frowned in displeasure. Zheng Chong was about to speak, but Gu Liu pulled him back. He could only glance at Yun Shang with a worried look on his face.
After checking their equipment, the group immediately went deep into the canyon below.
At that time, Tianyan Sect camp.
Li Jiuchuan invited Qing Nangzi to drink tea in the tent and asked about the casualties in the recent exploration of the secret realm.
Xie Jingshan limped into the medical tent and lay directly on the straw mat.
"Huaixi, come and see me. My whole body and legs hurt. I must be seriously ill. I want to recuperate at your place for a month."
Shen Huaixi's eyes flashed slightly as he removed the last bit of fire poison from his wounded men, wiped his hands with a rag, walked over to Xie Jingshan and looked at him.
"Your body bones are stronger than the monks on the Vajra Platform. If you want to be lazy, just say so."
Xie Jingshan smiled roguely and rested his head on his arms.
"They were jealous that I was so good at beating, so they sued me. Master Qinghuan said that she saw I had a headache, so I had to come to you. Just go ahead and leave me alone."
Shen Huaixi shook his head and continued busy.
Xie Jingshan closed his eyes to rest and remained calm.
