After the group destroyed four third-rate colleges, led by Bai Xun College, Han Feng continued to lead the team forward.
According to Miao Xing, the Inland Sea Trial will open a deeper area every seven days. According to their current forward speed, they should be able to arrive on the second day after the central area is opened.
Of course, this is also the speed that Han Feng deliberately maintains, because he knows that the overall strength of his team is weak. If he rushes too far forward and encounters those strong teams, he may be able to protect himself in the event of a fight, but he may not be able to protect himself. He was worried about other members of the team.
Along the way, Han Feng and others also met teams from other colleges one after another. Regarding these teams, Han Feng still maintained the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me."
However, despite this, they also encountered a lot of trouble.
Perhaps it was Han Feng's own cultivation that was already highly deceptive, and the team's overall strength was indeed unremarkable. Along the way, Han Feng and others encountered more than one attack.
Most of these attackers were third-rate academies who were advancing at the same pace as them.
Compared to second-rate colleges, first-rate colleges or even top colleges, you can completely rely on your strength to hunt monsters in the depths of Wujian Lake and collect elixirs to accumulate a lot of points.
Third-rate academies usually have difficulty entering the depths of Wujian Lake due to their limited strength, so they prefer to rob other weak teams in the outer areas.
Moreover, their methods of attack are also endless, including traps, poisoning, human sea tactics, and even honey traps, etc...
Of course, in the face of absolute strength, these fancy methods will not work at all.
For the teams from third-rate colleges that dared to attack his own team, Han Feng would sweep them away as soon as he took action, leaving no one behind and unceremoniously accepting the points of the other team.
As a result, Han Feng's team, although they were attacked repeatedly along the way, not only did they not suffer any losses, but their points increased sharply.
Now the points on Han Feng's beast ring have already exceeded one thousand, and the other nine people also have at least three to four hundred points, which can be said to be a huge gain.
However, during this period, Han Feng and others also encountered an extremely dangerous situation.
At that time, they were escaping on the lake, but they suddenly encountered two third-rate teams blocking the road and looting. Han Feng originally wanted to deal with them directly.
Unexpectedly, before he took action, a large number of fake star realm monsters suddenly surged into the bottom of the lake, which was originally calm.
It turned out that a wave of beasts passed by and suddenly emerged from the depths of the lake. The overwhelming monster beasts gushed out like springs, almost tens of feet above the lake surface.
Seeing the sudden influx of dense beasts, Han Feng's scalp felt slightly numb. He directly opened a passage with his long gun, led everyone in the ark, and fled in the air.
In order to surround Han Feng and others, the two teams from third-rate colleges were already dispersed in formation. In addition, their reaction was a little slow. Before they could escape, they were swept away by the tide of beasts.
At the critical moment, many people crushed the jade teleportation talisman on the spot and teleported out. However, a few people did not react in time. Before they could touch the jade teleportation talisman, they were overwhelmed by the tide of beasts and were torn into pieces in an instant. It was too horrible to watch.
This experience made everyone feel the danger of Wujian Lake again, and made everyone more cautious.
…
Six days after entering Wujian Lake, Han Feng and his party had entered the depths of the outer area of Wujian Lake.
Looking far toward the center of Wujian Lake, you can see a circle of faint red light appearing in the sky. At this time, the central area has not yet been opened.
But now, everyone no longer moves forward by "casting a net to search", but everyone gathers together and rushes on.
Not only are there many teams from other martial arts schools here, but the monsters in Wujian Lake have also begun to increase in strength, with star-level monsters appearing frequently.
Although it is only an early-star monster, it is still enough to pose a threat to team members.
As the group of people gathered together and rushed on their way, everything seemed to be in peace.
Until noon on the seventh day, Han Feng and the rest of the team moved forward together, landing on some islands along the way and collecting the elixirs on the islands. They walked in this way for more than two hundred miles.
While passing through a calm water surface, the lake a few hundred feet ahead turned into rough waves, and a huge whirlpool appeared out of thin air. Below the whirlpool, an island reef loomed.
When Han Feng and others saw this, they immediately stopped escaping, suspended in mid-air, and observed the situation on the lake.
Everyone was familiar with the scene before them, and had even encountered it several times before.
The "crust" at the bottom of Wujian Lake is extremely unstable, and islands often appear suddenly on the surface of the lake, or some islands disappear. In this case, there should be islands and reefs about to emerge from the lake.
Previously on a newly floating island, everyone picked a lot of elixirs. Now they saw another island appearing, and it was so close that they naturally wanted to go to the island to find out.
Everyone only waited in the void for a moment.
"Rumble...!"
Along with the violent surging of the waves, there was a roar and tremor on the sea floor, and a circular island about a hundred feet in diameter surfaced directly from the water.
As the island was exposed, everyone immediately felt an astonishing fluctuation in spiritual energy.
Everyone's eyes lit up, knowing that there must be something good on this island.
Han Feng immediately drove the ark and led everyone to land on the island.
Because this small island has been immersed in the bottom of the lake all year round, the island is covered with slippery algae. Apart from the dark rocks and algae, there is no special discovery.
Han Feng directly used his mental power to cover the entire surface of the island to explore, and immediately discovered that there was a hole covered by algae in the center of the island.
He immediately led everyone close to the cave entrance, but they were only a few feet away from the cave entrance.
"Roar……!"
Suddenly, only a roar was heard, and from the entrance of the cave, a dark shadow flashed, and a huge beast with six claws and a head like a sea lion suddenly rushed out of the cave, opened its bloody mouth, and headed towards The crowd came to bite him.
A fishy wind swept over with strong water energy. It turned out to be a two-star monster hiding in the cave, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on everyone.
However, with Han Feng present, a two-star monster would naturally not pose any threat.
He directly raised his hand to form a golden spear shadow and threw it forward violently.
"boom……!"
The shadow of the gun was like lightning, instantly overwhelming the monster's condensed water energy, and shot through its head, killing it.
After killing the star monster with one move, Han Feng stopped everyone and used his spiritual power to explore into the cave.
After confirming that there was no scent of other monsters, Han Feng accepted the corpse of the monster with his bracelet and led everyone into the cave entrance.
After passing through the entrance of the cave, everyone discovered that this was actually a rather spacious circular cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, everyone was attracted by three plants growing against the rock wall in the corner of the cave, resembling wickers, blooming with silver light, and emitting astonishing spiritual power and evil aura.
"This is……?"
Many people present failed to recognize these plants.
However, Lu Yun'er, who was proficient in the art of talismans, exclaimed: "This is Silver Dragon Grass!"
"Silver Dragon Grass?"
Lu Yun'er said in surprise: "This is an extremely rare elixir that can be used to refine high-grade elixirs and make spiritual talismans.
However, this kind of elixir disappeared from the mainland hundreds of years ago. Unexpectedly, it can still be found in Wujian Lake. "
After saying that, Lu Yun'er stepped forward and stretched out her hand again, and gestured with the length of the three Silver Dragon Grasses. She couldn't help but become more surprised and said: "Silver Dragon Grass grows one foot every hundred years. These Silver Dragon Grasses are all five feet long, almost six feet long." It’s over 50 feet tall and has been growing for more than five hundred years!”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look surprised. You must know that a five-hundred-year-old elixir can be exchanged for four hundred points, which is almost enough to hunt a late-star monster beast, and three of them are one thousand and two. 100 points, everyone can get more than 100 points.
You must know that by accumulating these points, even if you cannot rank in the Inner Sea Trial, the academy will give generous rewards to the disciples with more points. Of course, everyone hopes to get more, the better.
As for whether the value of these three Silver Dragon Grasses will exceed these points, there is no need to consider at all.
Because all the elixirs growing in Wujian Lake contain extremely strong evil spirits, with the influence of these evil spirits, these elixirs cannot be directly used to refine elixirs or as materials for making talismans.
Only the empire's accomplished alchemists have the ability to refine these evil spirits. However, this will also cost a lot of money, and the elixir will still lose some spirituality.
Therefore, no matter how rare these elixirs are, they are like "useless things" if left in the hands of the contestants. It is better to exchange them directly for points.
Moreover, precisely because of the characteristics of Wujian Lake's elixir that it "contains evil spirits", some people who want to bring their own elixirs and exchange them for points to cheat are unable to do so.
Everyone was excited about picking up three rare elixirs, but Han Feng was moved in his heart.
He secretly thought, since there really is a magical elixir that is extinct in the outside world in Wujian Lake, is it possible for him to find a "Huiling Red Fruit" here?
While he was thinking in his mind, Jin Buhuan's surprised voice came from the other side of the cave.
"Look, there are some human bones here!"
Everyone was slightly shocked when they heard this, and quickly came to Jin Buhuan's side. Sure enough, in the corner of the cave, there was a pile of broken bones that had been eroded by the lake water and had no shape. They could vaguely identify them as human bones.
Beside these human bones, there were also scattered piles of several star-level early stage monster inner elixirs and a broken storage ring.
Seeing this, Han Feng couldn't help but scan the cave again, looking at the crisscrossing ravines and cracks on the rock wall, and deduced: "This person may have discovered these silver dragon grasses here, but he hasn't had time to pick them yet. , it has been unexpected."
Wujian Lake has a very long history, and those buried here include powerful men who came here to explore for treasures before the Qianlan Empire was founded.
There were also disciples from major martial arts academies who later participated in the trial and were accidentally buried here. No one could tell the identity of this person.
After exploring the cave again and finding nothing else, everyone collected all three elixirs and these monster inner elixirs, exchanged them for points, and shared them equally.
After doing all this, Han Feng immediately said: "There was a lot of movement on the island just now. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
Everyone quickly left the cave and prepared to leave on the ark.
However, before everyone could move, a harsh sound suddenly broke through the void in the distance.
There were actually two escaping lights approaching from the void in two directions at extremely high speeds.
In the blink of an eye, two rays of light appeared in the sky a hundred feet away from the island, blocking Han Feng and others on the island as they were about to leave.
Han Feng raised his head and swept around, only to see two teams from different colleges arriving in the void at the same time.
One of the teams on the flying boat, everyone was wearing dark yellow clothes. The leader was a handsome young man with a calm demeanor. He was actually the leader of the Cangling Academy disciple "Xi Qian" whom he had met a few days ago. The other party was A seven-star spiritual warrior.
Han Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he glanced at another group of people. These people were riding a large black shield. The leader was a man wearing a green cloth short shirt, with a dark complexion, knotted arms, and muscles. The bulging man.
Han Feng glanced at this person and saw that he had an eight-star cultivation level. The other nine people behind him also had quite good cultivation levels. Obviously, they were probably from a second-rate academy.
While Han Feng and others were looking at the two teams, the two teams in the void were also looking at them condescendingly.
When Xi Qian from Cangling Academy saw Han Feng, he couldn't help but look surprised. After a slight hesitation, he did not speak.
But the black-faced man on the giant shield said loudly: "Hey, which college's team is on the island? I am the captain of the sixth team of Nanyue College, Kui Yong!"
Facing the other party's inquiry, Han Feng also cupped his fists and responded: "I am the captain of the tenth team of Tiannan College, Han Feng."
"Tiannan College?"
Kui Yong was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Han Feng and others, but couldn't help but sneer with disdain at the corner of his mouth.
"Is Tiannan College already in such decline that a two-star spiritual warrior can also serve as captain?"
As soon as these words came out, Jin Buhuan, Lu Yun'er and others' expressions suddenly changed.
But Han Feng looked at Kui Yong calmly and said, "I wonder what Brother Kui has to say when he comes here?"
After hearing this, Kui Yong looked at the hidden cave behind Han Feng and others, and asked: "What did you find in that cave? I just sensed that there was quite a bit of spiritual movement here. "
Kui Yong's tone was arrogant, rather like an interrogation.
Han Feng didn't pay attention to this and just responded casually: "It's nothing special, just a few elixirs and a few monster inner elixirs."
"oh……?"
Kui Yong raised a thick eyebrow slightly, but sneered: "Why should I believe what you say?"
When Han Feng heard this, he paused slightly, and then the corner of his mouth also curved and said, "Then what can I do to make you believe it, Brother Kui?"
Kui Yong grinned and said kindly: "This is very simple. As long as you take out your points bracelets and storage rings, let us check them one by one, and the truth will be revealed."
As soon as these words came out, several people in Han Feng's team suddenly looked ugly. The other party's words clearly meant to rob them.
"Gang leader!"
Everyone looked at Han Feng nervously. Now there were teams from two second-rate colleges on the other side, and there was also an eight-star strong man. The situation was very dangerous.
However, Han Feng's expression remained unchanged. He just looked at Xi Qian in the void on the other side and said lightly: "Brother Xi, what do you mean?"
When Xi Qian heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, glanced at Han Feng, and then at Kui Yong.
After a moment of hesitation, Xi Qian finally said with a flash of light in his eyes, "Brother Han, I can't make up my mind at the moment, so I'll let Brother Kui give priority."
Xi Qian's words undoubtedly showed that he also decided to "get a share of the pie"!
Seeing this situation, a cold look finally appeared on Han Feng's face.
He took a step forward, flashed red light in his hand, and took the Thunder Overlord Gun. Han Feng drew a long arc on the ground in front of him with the gun.
Immediately, he slowly raised his head, glanced at the two groups of people in the void, and said coldly: "Whoever wants to come to check on us, just come over.
However, cross this line at your own risk! "
