In the morning, on the outskirts of the Yunwu Mountains.
The scales of these level four mutant beasts were broken and covered with wounds. Hot blood kept flowing out from the depths of the wounds, dyeing the surrounding ground red.
At the same time, trees fell and the ground was broken, as if a fierce battle had just taken place.
At this time, sisters Lin Xue and Lin Yu were sitting cross-legged in the middle of the battlefield, each holding a blue crystal containing high-purity energy in their hands.
As the true power circulated and continued to absorb the high-purity energy in the crystal, the aura of the two women became more and more powerful, and suddenly a breakthrough aura burst out.
Whoosh!!
The two sisters were surrounded by strong winds, their long hair moved without wind, and they broke through to the late stage of the third level.
Under the shade of a tree not far away, Lin Mei crossed her arms and smiled: "Xiaoxue and the others have finally broken through to the late third level."
"The next step is to continue working hard to break through the fourth level as soon as possible."
The burly third-year girl showed envy on her face: "She has already broken through to the late third level in the second semester of her first year. She will definitely be able to break through to the fourth level within a year."
"This talent is enough to be in the top three in our class."
Lin Mei shook her head: "It's not just talent. Xiaoxue and the others have also worked very hard during this period. They fight against level 4 mutant creatures at their limit every day to squeeze out their potential."
"After each battle, I took the time to absorb resources and practice, so I made such rapid progress."
At this point, Lin Mei showed gratitude on her face: "Ajuan, thank you for your hard work during this period of time. You stayed with me outside the mountain range."
The burly Wang Juan shook her head: "Amei, there's no point in talking about this. We've been friends for years, and your business is ours."
Luo Ling also nodded slightly: "Just let's relax for a while."
"But Ajuan is right. Xiaoxue and the others are indeed very talented. Otherwise, even if they fight to the extreme, it will be useless if they cannot absorb the resources and convert them into cultivation."
"It's a pity that there are too many monsters in their class. Even Xiaoxue and the others seem a little dim."
"Indeed, several people in our Nantian Wugao High School have already broken through to the fourth level. In comparison, we have only reached the middle and late stages of the fifth level after three years of cultivation."
"There's always a feeling that we old guys will be surpassed before we graduate."
"How is that possible? After reaching the fourth level, one needs to sharpen one's will. At this stage, one's comprehension is the key. It is no longer possible to improve quickly by relying on resources."
"So don't worry, Juan. No matter how evil they are, they still need to take one step at a time."
"Even the second-year Ji Changkong, who was said to have a talent no less than Xia Bawang a few years ago, spent so much time honing his skills in the fourth level before breaking through to the fifth level."
Just as the Lin Xue sisters broke through, Chen Chu also came to the edge of the Jiuhuan Mountains again.
In the distance, a huge sun rose into the sky. Amidst the mist, a beam of golden light penetrated the sky and earth and happened to fall on the cliff of the mountain where Chen Chu was, covering him.
Under the golden sunlight, the black and red crystal armor sparkled brightly, making Chen Chu inside it look like a god.
Just then, a group of people came out of the woods.
The team consisted of three men and two women. Two men were carrying the corpse of a mutant beast about 29 meters long, with a terrifying aura, estimated to be in the early stage of level six.
As soon as the team walked out of the woods, they saw a figure shrouded in golden light beams on the cliff. They were stunned and one of them even blurted out.
"Oh my god! What's going on?"
Chen Chu also saw the team below, his mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart, "What is this? God wants me to show off?"
As soon as he jumped onto the old spot, the clouds in the distant sky dispersed to reveal a beam of golden light, and he had no time to dodge.
As Chen Chu was sighing, a warm current suddenly appeared out of nowhere in his body, and the strength of his muscles and bones increased at a perceptible rate wherever it passed.
Suddenly, the corners of Chen Chu's mouth slightly raised.
Because this kind of significant strengthening has occurred three times since last night.
As the Thunder Flame Beast continued to devour, absorb the growth crystals and digest the flesh and blood of the ancient giant crocodile beast, it gained feedback for its own body while growing.
With this upgrade, his four major attributes increased by about 40 points.
The current highest strength attribute has reached 1,200 points, and the physical fitness has exceeded 1,100 points, pushing Chen Chu's basic arm strength to 30 tons.
With his current strength, he doesn't even need to use any true energy. He can just grab a bus and smash it like a toy.
Not to mention the 'real' abilities of dragon creatures.
It can be said that the "real" characteristic obtained when he broke through the fourth level is most suitable for Chen Chu, and it can maximize his increasingly terrifying physical advantages.
Just as Chen Chu was sighing, the sunlight faded away, and a group of five people also followed the ridge to the top of the mountain.
Chen Chu, who was not far away, couldn't help but greet them, "What a coincidence, seniors, we meet again."
Hey!
The five members of the team were all surprised and turned to look at Chen Chu who was not far away. The young man in the lead was also surprised: "It's you."
Compared to more than a week ago, the ordinary armor on Chen Chu's body turned into a gorgeous dark red crystal armor.
Therefore, when they met again, Ji Changkong and others did not recognize this calm and steady 'old man' until Chen Chu took the initiative to speak.
"I didn't expect that we would meet here again just a few days later. It can be considered fate."
Ji Changkong smiled and said, "Meet Ji Changkong from Nantian Martial Arts High School. May I know your name and which Martial Arts High School you are from?"
"Ji Changkong!"
Chen Chu's eyes moved slightly. He didn't expect that this young man, whom he had met twice and gave him a strong feeling, was actually the monster who dominated all the second-year students in the southern monster battlefield.
In surprise, the mask on Chen Chu's face cracked open, shrinking to the sides and turning into decorations like feather horns, revealing his handsome face.
"I didn't expect it to be Senior Ji. I'm also a student at Nantian Wu High School, but I'm only a freshman. Just call me Chen Chu."
Zhang Ling, who was wearing red armor, was a little surprised: "Chen Chu, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere before?"
The burly Zhang Baili said in a deep voice, "He ranked sixth in the first grade and is the first genius in our school to break through the fourth level. Old Feng and the others mentioned him when we went back a few days ago."
"It turned out to be Junior Chen."
Everyone suddenly understood, and then looked at Chen Chu with much more friendly eyes.
Although they are in the same martial arts high school base, the practitioners in grades one, two and three all have their own circles and do not have much contact with each other.
In addition, he spent most of his time traveling in the mountains, so Chen Chu had never met Ji Changkong and others at school.
However, after the two sides greeted each other, they just chatted briefly, and then Ji Changkong and others continued on their way.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Zhang Ling suddenly asked, "Do you have a feeling that this fellow student Chen Chu is much stronger than he was a week ago?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Baili and others nodded solemnly.
They had noticed it a long time ago.
The battle the night before yesterday had condensed an invincible fighting spirit. Even though Chen Chu's aura was restrained at this moment, the invisible aura emanating from his body still made people feel afraid to look directly at him.
Ji Changkong chuckled and said, "As the strongest genius of the new class, it is normal for this junior to improve his strength faster, just like the junior sister An we met two days ago."
Hearing Ji Changkong mention this, the other four people couldn't help but think of the figure sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff with sword intent soaring into the sky. They couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why did it feel like there were more and more perverts?
After Ji Changkong and others left, Chen Chu also rushed into the opposite mountain range in a few flashes, and then his speed suddenly slowed down.
There's no way, this is the Misty Mountains.
Not to mention the mutated creatures everywhere and possible space cracks, the clouds cannot be underestimated.
Some of these clouds are composed of water vapor, while others are the peculiar haze here. They cannot be dispersed by wind and block the vision. In many cases, one can only see a few meters away.
In this situation, if he ran too fast and there was a cliff in front of him, even Chen Chu might get injured.
The coordinates given by Li Fei this time were on the other side of the Yunwu Mountains, and one had to enter along another small mountain range several hundred kilometers away.
But when Chen Chu arrived here, he found that this mountain range was a little different.
BANG BANG BANG!!
As the black and red halberd's light swept across, hundreds of poisonous bees the size of human heads in the air within a ten-meter range all exploded, and juice splashed all over the sky, mixed with broken limbs and body parts that fell to the ground.
Phew! Looking at the remains of poisonous bees scattered all over the ground, Chen Chu frowned slightly.
There are too many poisonous insects, snakes and ants in this mountain range. In addition, many places are filled with colorful miasma. Chen Chu even felt danger from some black miasma.
Buzz!
As the blue and red lines on the Flame Crystal Armor lit up, a hot aura instantly spread from Chen Chu's body, and all the gases it came into contact with were filtered through the high temperature.
After passing through the respiratory system and entering the mask, it will be purified again by the power of the wind spirit, and the originally somewhat dull air will suddenly become clear.
According to the coordinates, Chen Chu continued on his journey. When he reached the end of the mountains, the sky had already darkened. He traveled about 1,200 kilometers in a day.
Just like last time, Chen Chu found a tree that was a hundred meters high, jumped onto a branch that was dozens of meters high, and then dug out a tree hole as a place to rest.
Soon as the sky became completely dark, the mountain range woke up.
The forest was filled with crawling, flying and flapping sounds, including around the big tree where Chen Chu was. He could keenly hear the sound of tens of thousands of densely packed insects crawling past.
There was no roar of ferocious mutant beasts, nor any wailing, only silent hunting and eating.
There were centipedes that were more than one meter long, toads that were the size of washbasins and had pus-filled backs, and mantises that stood half a meter tall and flew between tree branches with arms as sharp as scimitars.
There are a terrifying number of insects in this mountain range, and almost all of them have mutated. Some have even reached the first level, becoming true mutant creatures.
Compared to most insect creatures in the outside world that are still in normal condition, normal species from the old era are almost completely invisible in the alien beast battlefield.
However, these insects only look disgusting and pose no threat to Chen Chu.
After killing more than a dozen mutant creatures that crawled up, a night passed. In the morning, Chen Chu simply ate some dried meat, drank some water heated by the armor, and set off again.
After crossing mountains and ridges, and crossing mountain streams and canyons, Chen Chu arrived near the coordinates after killing hundreds of poisonous insects and mutant creatures along the way.
Standing on the edge of a cliff hundreds of meters high, Chen Chu looked around, looking for a reference point, and soon his eyes fell on the left side more than ten kilometers away.
"That should be it. There is red mist between the two peaks."
As he said that, Chen Chu jumped off the cliff.
This time, because the reference object was more conspicuous, Chen Chu arrived outside the Twisted Secret Realm in just a few minutes.
Here the ground cracked to form a canyon fissure that was tens of meters wide and stretched for an unknown length. The canyon was very humid, forming a thick red cloud.
The red mist was very thick, and Chen Chu could only see about ten meters away with his eyesight. There were obvious signs of space distortion around it, and the energy of heaven and earth was violent.
In addition, Chen Chu felt a little uncomfortable as soon as he approached here.
Invisible infrasound waves spread from the depths of the canyon. The invisible vibrations made all living things feel uncomfortable instinctively, so no life could be seen nearby.
No wonder Li Fei didn't dare to come in after he confirmed that this was a twisted secret realm with a high probability of containing rare treasures.
"I don't know what kind of skills this guy practiced, but he was able to get so deep into the mountains and sense the danger inside but didn't go in."
Chen Chu, looking thoughtful, disappeared in the red mist.
After entering the canyon crack, Chen Chu found that the terrain was sinking, and as he went deeper, a heat wave with rolling red mist continued to surge.
At the same time, the invisible infrasonic vibrations are getting stronger.
At this moment, a red light flashed in the fog on the side, and in an instant a red shadow shot out at an astonishing speed, and was caught by Chen Chu with a snap.
This is a red python that is over six meters long, covered with red scales, has a ferocious head and a round body that is as tough as steel.
After being caught by Chen Chu, he twisted wildly and burst out with powerful strength.
"There are actually mutant creatures here." Surprised, Chen Chu pinched it casually, and instantly half of the python's body exploded with a bang, and flesh and blood scattered all over the ground.
Includes a small white crystal the size of a thumb.
This unexpected gain made Chen Chu in a good mood. He couldn't help but bend down to pick it up. Although it was only a first-level crystal, it was a good thing for him.
Bang!
Next, Chen Chugang walked down the terrain for more than ten meters, and instantly stretched out his right hand to grab the attacking red python, exerting a little force in his hand.
Bang! Along with the explosion of flesh and blood, another white crystal fell to the ground.
"Are these red pythons all at level one peak?!" Chen Chu picked up the life crystal on the ground with some surprise, and then continued to walk down with some anticipation.
Boom boom boom!!
Next, Chen Chu walked and killed as he went, and encountered many red pythons that attacked him, and then he crushed them to death.
The most important thing is that these red pythons are all at the peak of level one. Almost every one of them contributed a life crystal to him, and soon he had more than twenty of them in his hands.
This explosion rate made Chen Chu a little excited. It was the first time he encountered such a "good thing".
However, as they continued to go deeper underground, the invisible shockwaves became stronger and stronger, and even Chen Chu's body felt a little uncomfortable.
On the contrary, the mutated red pythons seemed to be fine because they had lived here for a long time.
At the same time, as we continued to go deeper underground, the surrounding terrain became increasingly narrow, and a red hot current containing poisonous gas rolled out of the cave, and the air temperature reached over 100 degrees Celsius.
Boom boom boom!!
After going a thousand meters underground, the air temperature even soared to more than 200 degrees Celsius, and the surrounding rocks were faintly glowing red.
At the same time, those first-level red pythons almost disappeared, or were killed by him. Along the way, he harvested thirty-eight first-level life crystals.
The harvest of life crystals alone is almost equal to two hundred contribution points. In this situation, even Chen Chu couldn't help but feel excited.
Could it be because of the blessing ceremony during this visit to the mountain? Chen Chu subconsciously thought of the scene at the edge of the Jiuhuan Mountains.
Could it be that because of the "light" from God, he was so lucky this time that he had a 100% chance of getting an explosion when killing some monsters?
Just as Chen Chu was lost in thought, the terrain in front of him suddenly became wide, and a huge cliff appeared not far away, with billowing hot gas and red light below.
When Chen Chu arrived at the edge of the cliff, he saw a small river of flaming lava flowing hundreds of meters below the cliff, winding and disappearing into the darkness in the distance.
In the rolling lava lake, a dragon with its body burning with flames was perched, emitting a terrifying aura.
The invisible infrasonic vibrations were emanating from the lake beneath the dragon, shaking the entire underground space. Even the air here was making a low buzzing sound.
