Half a day later.

Li Tianyi and Wang Yu have completely escaped their peripheral positions and arrived at the edge of the forbidden area, closer to the center.

The surrounding area is filled with unidentified striped vegetation, emitting a fragrant aroma.

"This place is too eerie, try not to touch anything." Li Tianyi frowned slightly.

"Um!"

Wang Yu carefully walked around a plant and stood on the red sandstone.

But a very strange sensation came from under my feet.

"What the hell?" Feeling a chill run down his spine, he jumped up.

The moment I landed, I slammed the gun with the butt, feeling the rubber on my hand.

"Could this thing be alive?"

Li Tianyi quickly shielded him behind him, drew his Po Jun sword, and thrust it forward.

Squeak!

A small crack appeared in the red sandstone, from which bright red liquid flowed out.

"Holy crap, this thing actually has a life of its own." Wang Yu's understanding has been constantly being refreshed lately, leaving him somewhat numb.

"It should be a strange creature that exists somewhere between a living being and a non-living being."

I poked it with my finger; it was soft.

Li Tianyi's curiosity was piqued, and he kept trying, without any problems.

"Let's see if we can store it in the system space."

The thought flashed through my mind, and it was quickly put away.

"come out."

Strange sand and stones appeared before us.

"Although I can't tell what it is, it's kind of interesting." Li Tianyi looked into the system space. "Anyway, there's enough space inside, so I'll just keep it as an interesting ornament."

Wang Yu's lips twitched. "Xiao Tian, ​​your hobby is a bit unusual."

"Hehe!" Li Tianyi scratched his head and chuckled, "What if I need it someday?"

"That's true!"

Looking around, they couldn't find any sand or gravel like it, so they had no choice but to continue on their way.

After walking only a few dozen steps, Li Tianyi suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

“A living being has come.”

A look of surprise flashed in Wang Yu's eyes. "Didn't they say that the creatures here dare not approach? What kind of creatures could they be?"

"I don't know yet, it's quite far away."

Pointing to the shadows, he said, "Hide there, and we'll see."

The two immediately hid in the shadows and waited patiently.

About ten minutes later.

A Xuan Yin Demon Wolf appeared in their field of vision, followed by two giant anacondas.

"Safe." The Xuan Yin Demon Wolf called back.

Two more Xuan Yin Demon Wolves and a Savage Bear rushed out from behind the vegetation.

"Lord Mandao, we have arrived at the entrance to the intermediate area. Shall we proceed?"

Barbarian Blade frowned slightly and scanned the surroundings twice. "Don't go deeper for now. Search the lower-level areas carefully first. If my judgment is correct, they should be in the lower-level areas, not the middle-level areas."

"Okay, we'll split up and search immediately."

Everyone left.

Man Dao didn't move. After they all disappeared, his expression instantly turned serious, and he carefully took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket.

I used the Force Knife to cut through the vegetation and collected some sap.

After filling two porcelain bottles, he turned to a completely black plant, his expression grim.

As soon as he extended his palm, he immediately withdrew it.

This process repeated itself, eventually reaching the vegetation.

"Concentrate, concentrate."

Man Dao was already drenched in sweat and extremely nervous, his fingers less than half a meter away from the black vegetation.

As he finally got close, a faint black aura surged out, startling him so much that he retreated repeatedly.

"Huff, huff!"

Barbarian Blade was exhausted, sweating profusely, and his face was deathly pale. "If this thing were so easy to obtain, the clan chief wouldn't have promised me so many treasures."

Images of treasures and cultivation techniques flashed through his mind, and his greed surged, gradually overcoming his fear.

A few breaths later, his eyes were filled with greed, and he quickly reached out and tore the vegetation apart.

An incredibly foul stench filled the surrounding area.

Li Tian felt dizzy and lightheaded, and quickly used his internal energy to resist the urge.

Wang Yu has fallen into a coma.

Barbarian Blade was also in poor condition, but driven by greed, he managed to collect half a bottle of black liquid.

After sealing the bottle, they immediately poured in a large amount of antidote.

"That was close, that was close." He was a little unsteady on his feet and looked around warily. "They are not on my side. I have to be careful."

Quickly move to a safe location and hide.

Almost simultaneously.

Li Tianyi couldn't hold on any longer and moved slightly.

The situation was urgent, and there was no time to think. He quickly swallowed the antidote pill made by Su Wanruo.

"dad!"

Wang Yu's face was deathly pale, and his jaw was clenched.

He quickly pried open her mouth and poured in the antidote and the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill. Her chest area was gradually warming up.

By circulating internal energy, the toxins remaining in the body were dispersed.

"Hold on."

As internal energy flowed into Wang Yu's body, his condition rapidly improved, and his fingers and eyelashes twitched.

Ten seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes and was about to speak when Li Tianyi's large hand covered his mouth.

"Don't make a sound, the enemy is nearby," he transmitted telepathically.

Wang Yu was somewhat weak. He nodded heavily and pointed to the reverse slope.

A red glow would occasionally flash there.

"Don't worry about it, it's always been like this."

"Um!"

......

Forbidden zone, the edge.

A skinny little bear was waiting anxiously, "Why hasn't it been delivered yet? Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"

As my anxiety grew, I heard a rustling sound in the distance.

The bear was quite frightened and quickly hid in the shadows, gripping its long stick tightly, looking very wary.

Suddenly, the figure of the barbarian appeared.

"Sir, you're finally out." His subordinate looked worried.

"There's been a minor mishap." Man Dao pulled a few bottles from his robes. "Take these to the chieftain immediately."

"Yes, sir."

The subordinate carefully took it and put it away in a specially made spatial bag. "If the clan leader asks about what will happen next, how should I answer?"

"It can take anywhere from ten days to as little as three days."

A look of worry flashed in Man Dao's eyes, and he hesitated to speak.

His subordinates, who had followed him for many years, were already able to see through his inner world. "Sir, are you worried about the other people?"

"Hmm. These people seem honest, but they each have their own ulterior motives." Barbarian Blade pointed to the two clans. "Find an opportunity to subtly probe them, but don't say it directly."

"I understand. Preserve yourself first, then preserve your entire tribe."

"You little rascal, I'm growing to like you more and more." Barbarian patted his shoulder with a grin and slipped a Level 7 Origin Force Pill into his hand. "Cultivate well, our good days are just around the corner."

"Understood." The subordinate was overjoyed.

As Man Dao watched his retreating figure, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. A smile played on his lips before he vanished in an instant.

On the other side.

Li Tianyi and Wang Yu still haven't entered the intermediate area, so they're hiding in their previous positions.

"Where has the master gone? Why hasn't he returned yet?" Xuan Yin Demon Wolf Armor.

"We've searched the entire area, but there's no trace of it." The anaconda frowned, its face grim. "Could it be that something bad has happened to it?"

"Impossible!" the four exclaimed in unison.

"Nothing went wrong, but we can't see anyone. It's driving me crazy."

Before the words were finished, a cold voice came: "Why aren't you exploring inside? What are you all doing here?"

"My lord, you're back." Xuan Yin Demon Wolf B greeted him.

Barbarian Blade nodded, his gaze extremely unfriendly, sweeping over the other four people, "Tell me, what have you all discovered?"

"It's similar to before." The anaconda paused for a moment. "However, we've discovered something interesting. Would you like to take a look, sir?"

"What is it?"

Man Dao's curiosity was piqued, and he moved closer.

The anaconda pointed to the red sandstone not far away, "These stones are strange, as if they are teeming with life."

"Impossible, right?" Fear flashed in Barbarian Blade's eyes as his pupils rapidly searched the area. He thought to himself, "The largest concentration of people in the intermediate region is known to very few. Do these people actually know about it, or are they testing me?"

The thought flashed through my mind quickly, ruling out any attempt to test the waters.

"This matter is of utmost importance, we must get to the bottom of it." Man Da turned to Xuan Yin Demon Wolf Armor, "Brother, please go through the trouble of sending the message back."

He turned to the other three and said, "The four of us will continue to go inside and chase the outsiders."

"Alright!"

As the Xuan Yin Demon Wolf Armor turned around, a strange light flashed in its eyes, and the corner of its mouth twitched.

The other two dire wolves nodded simultaneously.

Suddenly, all three attacked Man Dao simultaneously.

He quickly stepped back, a sneer flashing in his eyes. "I knew you guys had something going on."

The Force Blade slashed horizontally, forcing the three back.

"Gentlemen, are you going to continue watching the show, or fight for this opportunity together?" Xuan Yin Demon Wolf Bing swept his gaze over the Serpent Brothers.

"Of course, we'll seize this opportunity."

As they were talking, the python's attack landed nearby, and the barbarian dagger dared not be careless and quickly dodged.

Five Seven-Star experts attacked simultaneously, filling the surrounding area with terrifying primal force. Even Man Dao, a Seven-Star advanced early-stage expert, was finding it difficult to withstand.

"Aren't you afraid of your entire clan being wiped out?"

Don't try to fool me.

"There's no one here. As long as we don't say anything, no one will know how you died."

"Yes, go all out."

The five people were filled with extremely terrifying primal force, and the space around them was already rippling.

The ethereal aura landed near Li Tianyi by sheer coincidence.

It collided directly with the internal energy.

boom!

The sound of the explosion startled the five people, who immediately scattered.

Li Tianyi stood up from the shadows, a half-smile on his face, and spread his hands, "You guys fight your battle, I'm just a bystander. Keep going, keep fighting!"

The five men had complicated expressions.

Wang Yu suddenly stood up and shouted, "They've snatched all your great opportunities, and the five of you are still helping them count their money. Alas, how pathetic!"

"If I were them, I'd kill Man Dao first, then discuss the distribution," Li Tianyi added insult to injury.

Barbarian Blade's face was extremely ugly. He glared fiercely at the crowd and said, "You, an outsider, dare to sow discord? Don't you know what death means?"

"I don't know." Li Tianyi grinned mischievously. "Why don't you die and show us?"

"You?" Barbarian Blade was so angry that he was practically fuming, but he didn't dare to make a move rashly, so he suppressed his anger.

Wang Yu tried his best to suppress his laughter, stepped aside, crossed his legs, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

He took a puff and exhaled a smoke ring.

The six people were speechless.

Li Tianyi also walked over, sat on the ground, lit a cigarette, and said, "Don't just stand there, please begin your performance."

"I, I'm fucking idiot!"

"Holy shit."

"Kill him."

Driven by rage, the six people lost their minds and started fighting each other.

As soon as the aftershocks appeared, Li Tianyi bumped into Wang Yu.

The two silently slipped into the shadows and vanished in an instant.

When they reappeared, the sound of an explosion could be barely heard behind them.

"Fight! Fight hard! It would be best if we all perished together!" Wang Yu said gleefully.

Li Tianyi smiled, glancing behind him with a smug glint in his eyes...
