Chen Sheng had a calm expression. It was not a difficult task to suppress the prisoners in the Black Abyss Prison. The reason why he was competing with them was more to temper his character and gain insight into the sinister nature of human beings.
For example, at this moment, he saw the status of the 10th team at a glance and said, "But it's boring."
The duty of the Dark Blade Monk is to suppress the Black Abyss Prison and maintain order, and things like prison breaks only happen once in a century.
This time, the Tenth Team's boss is replaced by a new one, and they are unstable and unable to practice. They can only let time pass slowly.
"Captain, is there anything you want us to do?"
Qi Liu's eyes lit up. Mr. Chen was quite efficient and decisive in his work. The last time they met, it was just a quick visit. But this time he came again, it was obvious that he was not just passing by casually.
"I have a secret place in my hand, and I plan to let you go out for a visit."
Mr. Chen will tell about his confrontation with Xifeng Yang. That man has always had some reputation, and the Duanshui Secret Realm will definitely not disappoint.
"Captain is not going?"
Zhao Da understood the meaning of Chen Sheng's words. From beginning to end, he never mentioned the order to lead the team personally, so he should let them act alone.
"I won't go."
Mr. Chen nodded, thinking about it, and said, "You guys prepare yourself, and then act when you think it's appropriate."
The strength of the tenth team is extremely powerful, and they will have no problem conquering the Duanshui Secret Realm.
After giving the order, he returned to Area A11. The next matters would be handled by Team 10.
Looking at his departing back, Zhao Da made up his mind and said, "We must do this clearly and let the captain know our capabilities."
If the information about the Duanshui Secret Realm is correct, then this is a great opportunity. Chen Sheng has already achieved this step, and it is now their turn to show their power.
This was his first appearance, and he didn't want to perform poorly and be looked down upon by Mr. Chen.
"no problem."
The monks of the tenth team all nodded, determined to make the exploration of the Duanshui secret realm perfect.
…
After solving the whereabouts of the Tenth Team, Chen Sheng returned to Area A11. The whole area was a bit quiet. The prisoners were silent and did not dare to act rashly. Da Fu and others were all living their own lives.
Dafu was refining the elixir, Cai Rong was content with his low aspirations, and Wang Xian was always on the move, keen on getting news.
There is only one Chen Lian left. Chen Sheng really can't imagine the other party's pursuit. When she was a girl, she longed to cultivate immortality. One day she saw the truth and was confused for many years. Fortunately, she woke up, but the road ahead has been cut off. How to go on the next journey is uncertain.
"What do you think after that?"
He found Chen Lian, was silent for a moment, and revealed the problem.
"Uncle Chen is annoying me?"
Chen Lian brushed her hair, revealing a pair of bright eyes, which she blinked, looking a little smart and cheerful.
"Where is that..."
Mr. Chen shook his head. Even though he knew it was a joke, he still answered seriously and carefully, not wanting to cause any misunderstanding.
"Uncle Chen, get me some immortal classics to read. I'll just use this as a way to kill time."
Chen Lian thought about it and decided that he was still interested in the immortal classics. Although he couldn't practice with them, he would always be able to do well by reading them.
"It's easy."
Mr. Chen observed Chen Lian's expression and found nothing unusual. He knew she was just curious and did not refuse.
He took out a storage bag from his body, filled it with immortal classics that he had collected over hundreds of years, and gave them all away.
"All?"
Chen Lian took a look and saw that the storage bag was filled with densely packed jade slips of inheritance, as well as a large number of skills in carriers such as gold and silver tortoise shells.
Even though she didn't understand cultivation, she knew that it was a remarkable thing for a person to possess so many immortal classics.
“Both.”
Over the years, Chen Sheng did not deliberately collect immortal classics, but whenever he came across them, he would just pick them up. Over time, the number of books he collected has become considerable.
His foundation is so profound that it can support the treasury of an immortal sect.
"If I hadn't been hit by the Mother-Child Transferring Spirit Spell, I would have been the darling of the immortal way. Now I am only a darling."
Chen Lian's voice was very calm. She was able to treat it calmly, leaving the past behind. It was like a new life. Her heart was clear and pure, which was amazing.
It is indeed a pity that this state of mind cannot be cultivated.
…
The river is surging, and the river bank has a large bulge, which is as yellow as a mountain. It has stood for three to five hundred years and is quite strange.
A group of monks descended here, wearing black robes and carrying swords. They gathered together like sharp swords, making people afraid to approach.
“This is it.”
The tenth team stood on the mound, looked around, and confirmed the location of the Duanshui secret realm.
"Be careful, don't overturn the car."
Zhao Da emphasized.
Then...
The ferocious torrent of mana shook the void, and a secret realm slowly emerged, looming, like a towering gate in heaven standing in the air.
Everyone flew and entered the Duanshui Secret Realm, where they felt that the heaven and earth had moved and changed drastically. What they saw was a primitive and vast expanse, with monsters running rampant. Pavilions and palaces were broken into ruins, with only a few remaining standing, shining like pearls with treasures hidden inside.
"Cry"
A bird came flying over, two or three meters long, with extremely sharp eyes. It stared at the tenth team entering the country, spread its wings, and roared like a thundercloud, landing on everyone's heads.
It swooped down like a giant arrow, breaking through the heavy gale; a slight touch of its claws could easily shatter the hard bluestone.
"Well done."
In the tenth team, someone roared. There was no fear, and in his indifferent eyes there was a burning light, like a sword forged in fire.
Suddenly, he drew his sword and slashed, launching a fiery offensive. The sword was sharp and invincible.
"puff"
"What a nice place."
Amidst the blood, the members of the tenth team were sighing that the Duanshui Secret Realm was filled with abundant spiritual energy, and any monster they encountered had vigorous vitality.
This is a blessed land, and it contains great opportunities. It is the right time to come here.
Next.
The tenth team began the exploration. Following the previous plan, they did not disperse but moved forward together, leaving traces everywhere.
They saw large areas of abandoned temples with nothing left in the ruins. Some of the artifacts that were excavated had lost their spirituality and were no different from scrap metal.
Without disappointment, everyone continued to move forward and finally found a medicinal garden.
However, the fences surrounding the medicine garden have been torn into pieces and fallen down. The brown spiritual soil is still there, but it is full of potholes. The spiritual herbs that have been preserved are intact, and there are demon beasts lurking on the side, guarding it.
“The medicine gardens are all abandoned.”
Zhao Da showed a look of regret on his face. The medicinal garden had a good foundation, but no one was taking care of it, and with monsters roaming around, it no longer lived up to its former splendor.
"roar"
The monsters around didn't have much reaction. But when a bear and tiger saw an outsider breaking in, a fierce light flashed in its eyes, and its huge body pushed forward like a mountain.
Its claws were very thick. When it slapped down, the void rumbled and one could feel the terrifying power contained in it.
"Evil beast!"
Zhao shouted loudly, his energy and spirit emerged, breaking through the restrictions. His tall body became majestic, not at all inferior to the ferocious bears and tigers.
He straightened his body, his back was as strong as iron, and lines of magical power surrounded his body. Like a god, he grabbed the claws of the bear and tiger, lifted them up, and threw them heavily to the ground.
"puff"
Xionghu was lying on the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, but he was still as ferocious as ever and was about to be killed, but Zhao Da kicked him hard in the heart, killing him instantly.
With this step, Zhao Da flew out into the air, like a flash of lightning, and rushed to the side of another monster. He raised the sword in his hand and directly knocked off its head.
"puff"
All this happened too quickly. By the time he stood still, the smell of blood in the area had gradually spread. The surrounding ferocious beasts were affected by this, and a few fled, but most of them surrounded and killed him.
The entire Tenth Team was very calm. They had experienced many battles and were not afraid of attacks from monsters at all.
“Boom…”
The killing for control of the medicine garden began.
One-sided.
The tenth team killed decisively and formed an array like a forest, constantly strangling the monsters that came up, like a millstone, crushing the surging offensive.
The corpses on the ground accumulated more and more. At first, the smell of blood could drive the monsters crazy, but later on, it became so strong that the monsters retreated unconsciously.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
The medicine garden fell silent.
The monsters that were guarding the spiritual herbs either died or escaped, and their traces were no longer seen.
"Seal the spiritual herbs well. This secret realm is very large and it will take a while to search through it."
While Zhao Da was collecting spiritual herbs, he reminded everyone that if the spiritual herbs were damaged, their medicinal properties would be lost and they would be of no use.
In this way, after working for a while, everyone finally collected all the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden.
Then he went to explore the secret realm of Duanshui.
In the ruins, they saw a temple that stood tall and was faintly glowing. It looked like it was made of golden colored glaze and was extremely magical.
This made Zhao Da and others happy. They stepped on the broken rubble, came to the front of the temple, and walked straight in.
“Buzz…”
The palace is magnificent and built in a very grand style. Each of the rooms has its own magical features.
Before the Tenth Team could take any action, the bricks and stones on the ground formed lines of arrays that spread in all directions. Wisps of murderous intent rose up like clouds and smoke, blocking all routes of survival.
"There is a killing array!"
Zhao Da's body shook, emitting a powerful aura, and he explored the way forward, also intending to break through the obstacles.
“There’s something good in here.”
Qi Liu was not surprised but happy, with a bright light flashing in his eyes. The killing array was fierce, and there must be treasures hidden in the palace.
“Boom…”
When the killing array is in operation, the whole world is filled with murderous intent, and spiritual energy is cut off. Even breathing and refining qi for cultivators at this time will reduce their vitality.
One after another, the sword energy that was as condensed as substance came rushing towards him, like a dragon or a flying tiger, extremely ferocious.
"We joined forces to break the formation."
Zhao Da shouted loudly, his hands moving without slowing down at all, his magic power surged and condensed into a huge river, covering the sky and the earth, with wave after wave, rushing forward in a mighty manner.
Qi Liu and others also took action. The fluctuations of magic power rose and fell, and spells filled the sky, bombarding the killing formation.
"boom"
Within half an hour, terrifying power erupted here, and the killing formations were revived one after another, drawing in massive amounts of spiritual energy to strengthen the formations.
Zhao Da and others really put in a lot of effort, and finally they worked together to bombard a certain point without stopping, and finally they broke it.
"call……"
Qi Liu let out a long sigh and his eyes fell on the palace with some anticipation. The killing array was fierce and the treasures hidden inside should be quite good.
The tenth team searched the palace and found that most of the books were immortal classics. There were so many types that it was overwhelming to read.
“This should be where the books are stored.”
Zhao Da speculated.
