Chapter 77 Hidden Twenty-Four

Li Weiyi was so frightened that he suddenly woke up. He reached to the side and felt some body parts, limbs and hands.

Suddenly, I realized that I was no longer in the car, and was probably on the way to the Hidden Gate. But I couldn't see or hear anything, and I had no idea where I was at the moment.

How long had he slept? Suddenly, someone patted him on the head, and the bottom edge of the black bag loosened.

My hearing returned and I could hear the sound of waves rowing in the boat.

Li Weiyi immediately took off the cloth bag. In front of him was a vast golden smoke. Under him was a flat boat that was more than ten meters long. Around him were twenty or thirty young men and women, crowded together.

Most of them have been picked from the bags, and some are still being picked.

The people had strong mental qualities, and those who could come here were not ordinary people. After a brief commotion, they quickly sat up and looked around the environment.

Only a pair of gem-like blue eyes were glaring at Li Weiyi, his teeth were clenched, his red lips were trembling, and his hands on his legs were clenched into fists.

It was the owner of the leg that had just hit Li Weiyi's chest and caused her pain. She was next to Li Weiyi, and the boat was too narrow for her to move. When she had just boarded the boat, she was grabbed by the leg by the scoundrel and pressed down tightly, unable to break free.

The other party had extremely high cultivation level. Every time she tried to break free, she was pulled even harder, causing her thighs to ache and numb, and her calves to cramp, as if she no longer belonged to herself.

It was definitely intentional.

Which tribe chose this person? How could she be so vulgar? Li Weiyi looked at her and was a little surprised.

It turned out to be a pure immortal body. Which tribe would spend so much money? Don't they know that only one person can survive among those sent to the Hidden Gate every year?

Yao Yin was selected and sent by the Jiuli Chinese Medicine Li tribe. He was only fifteen years old, with the cultivation of Kaiqiquan, and a pure immortal body. It can be said that he had a bright future.

She has flawless skin like most pure immortal bodies, and every inch of her body seems to be carved from crystal clear immortal jade, with a faint white glow all over her body. You know, the beauty of a pure immortal body is beyond the reach of mortals, and Yao Yin also has that immortal charm, even her hair is extremely shiny.

Li Weiyi felt the chill in the other person's eyes, and thought about the random pinching when he just woke up. How could he not know who he was pinching? He was so embarrassed that he wanted to jump off the boat. It was too embarrassing. He apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I just woke up and my perception was clouded... Anyway, I'm sorry!"

After apologizing, Li Weiyi was too embarrassed to continue facing her, so he quickly turned around and reached for his Yellow Dragon Sword and Insect Tube.

They are all still on my back.

The insect tube had been opened, but the seven phoenix-winged moth kings inside had obviously not been recognized, so they all stayed well inside.

Li Weiyi looked towards the bow and saw a tall and strong man sitting cross-legged there, facing forward. His back was as majestic as a mountain. The dark red cloak hanging from his shoulders swayed in the wind, giving him an aura of majesty and domineering.

Golden smoke was coming out of a copper lamp next to the man.

The golden light from the lamp was very bright, illuminating the darkness of the underground river.

Li Weiyi saw Li Qing.

Li Qing's calm eyes also fell on him, and a sharp light flashed in his pupils. Then, he quickly turned his head and looked elsewhere.

With just this one glance, Li Weiyi judged many things: "He knows that the person sent by the Earth Wolf King Army is me!"

"But when I got on the bus, he was clearly wearing a black bag. This means that after I fell asleep, his bag was opened by the mysterious old man, deliberately letting him remember me."

"Maybe there's another reason why I slept so soundly."

"Why do you want him to remember me? Do you want him to kill me in the Hidden Gate?"

Li Weiyi didn't want to pay attention to the game between the Earth Wolf King Army, the Nine Li Clan, and the top leaders of Guanshan. It was not something he could influence. He had to be cautious at the moment and be on guard against Li Qing.

The boat was sailing on a wide underground river.

The man sitting cross-legged on the bow exudes a wisp of magical energy, controlling the oars to row.

The one who took off the black cloth bags from everyone's heads was a girl in black.

Her figure was as straight as a spear, and she was not very old, only about sixteen or seventeen years old.

After untying the black bag on the last young man's head, the black-clothed girl stood at the stern with a sword on her back and said in a clear voice: "We are now sailing in the underground river leading to the Jiuli Hidden Gate. Everyone is in good spirits. There is no panic, nor fear."

"But I still have to make it clear to you that the underground is a world ruled by the Zerg. We have to be as quiet as possible."

“Coo-coo!”

On the bank of the underground river, the sound of insects chirping could be heard.

In the darkness, countless pairs of red eyes lit up.

The black-clothed girl said, "You don't have to worry too much. The lamp on the ship is burning the pupa shell of the commander-level rare insect, the tiger-striped golden cicada. Ordinary insect swarms will not attack us."

Soldier level, general level, commander level...

The soldier and general levels are called evil insects.

Only a commander-in-chief can be called a strange insect.

An adult commander-level strange insect can threaten a martial artist at the Daozhong realm alone.

"Let me introduce myself. I came here two years earlier than you. I was a hermit two years ago. I entered the Hidden Gate in the twenty-fourth year of this sixty-year cycle, so you can just call me Hidden Twenty-four." said the girl in black.

The boys and girls on the boat looked at the girl in black, and there was suddenly more awe in their eyes.

This is the person who can survive to the end among a group of candidates!

Moreover, she was even younger than many people on the ship.

This is no ordinary person!

The black-clothed girl continued, "This year's batch of candidates is more than twice as strong as last year's. There are those who have opened the Nine Springs, those who have pure immortal bodies, and there are four who have opened the Eight Springs. It seems that after the successor of the Jiuli tribe is decided, each tribe knows that the Shenyin people will also be selected soon, and they all want to compete."

"You dare to come to the Hidden Sect, you should all know how cruel it is, right? Only one person can survive each year and become the Hidden Person of that year. Only Hidden People are eligible to participate in the competition for the Hidden God. All losers will become Hidden Servants of the Hidden God of this Sixty Years."

"It's cruel, extremely cruel. But the training resources and environment of the Hidden Sect are unavailable anywhere else."

"Two years ago, when I was fourteen, I opened the Seven Springs and entered the Hidden Gate. Now, two years later, I opened the Nine Springs, and eight days ago I entered the Five Seas. With my talent, I would never be able to open the Nine Springs if I practiced outside, and it would be impossible for me to break through the Five Seas so quickly."

"This is the power of the Hidden Gate!"

A 16-year-old who has reached the Nine Springs and Five Seas Realm? So abnormal? How many of the proud sons of the Li people can compare to him?

Li Qing believed that he was extremely talented, and the entire Jiuli tribe only took Cang Li seriously, but at this moment, he suffered a big blow. He asked: "May I ask Hidden Twenty-Four, are you the fastest among the Hidden People to break through the Nine Springs and Five Seas?"

The black-clothed girl Hidden Twenty-Four had a sneer in her eyes: "I can only tell you that anyone who becomes a Hidden Person must go to the Nine Springs. All resources will be provided to you, and all relevant books can be read at will. There are also Hidden Persons who have been promoted to Elders in the past sixty years to help you."

There was an uproar on the boat.

Must we attack the underworld?

Yao Yin asked, "What if it can't be cracked?"

"Then stay in the Yongquan Realm until the ninth spring is opened, and then you can enter the Five Seas." Hidden Twenty-Four said.

Yao Yin said: "It is very dangerous to attack the Ninth Spring. Forcing it will kill you."

"Do you think no one has died because of this? My name is Yin Twenty-four, but there are only seventeen Yin people who are still alive before me in this sixty-year cycle."

Then, Yin Twenty-four said, "Without a strong heart and the belief that you must die or win, I don't think you can appear on this ship. It's cruel because the Yin Sect is the last line of defense of the Jiuli tribe. If we are not cruel now, the enemy will be cruel to our people in the future."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I'm looking forward to seeing who among you will be the last surviving Hidden Twenty-Six."

"It must be me." said a young man who opened the Eight Springs.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Wait until you break through the Nine Springs before you say this!"

Hidden Twenty-Four said: "Having a strong cultivation doesn't mean you will definitely be the final winner. Half of those present are children who have opened four or five springs. They are more malleable. Under the training of the Hidden Sect, they will grow faster and more solidly. Who knows, there may be someone stronger than you in the future."

Li Weiyi had realized this problem a long time ago.

Perhaps the original purpose of the Hidden Sect was to have the nine tribes send these half-grown children who had opened four or five springs and had independent consciousness. On the contrary, the tribes deliberately sent these older children with high realms, thinking that with higher cultivation, they would have a better chance of becoming hidden people, or even divine hidden people.

“Crash!”

The flow of the underground river suddenly became turbulent and the speed of the boat increased dramatically.

Large splashes of water fell on Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi touched a handful, his hands were all red, he put them to his nose and sniffed: "The water in this underground river is the same as the water in the sea of ​​blood."

Yao Yin, who was sitting next to him and almost fell into his arms because of the rapid water flow, hummed softly: "You are so ignorant! Under the Lingxiao habitat, there are countless blood rivers, connecting in all directions, and there are many vast river valleys, mining areas, insect realms, and monster caves. The ground is a world, and the underground is also a world."

"The Wolf King Army, one of the three most famous barbarian bandits in the southern border, had been hiding in the underground world. Otherwise, it would have been wiped out by the High Heaven Palace long ago."

With the golden light of the copper lamp, Li Weiyi saw many tributaries of the Blood River along the way. The underground was really crisscrossed, like a maze. I wonder how the person at the bow found the right way?

In the next few days, the boat continued to move forward at a rapid speed, going deeper and deeper underground.

On the way, they passed by an underground sea of ​​blood that was more than two hundred miles wide.

There was no food prepared on the boat, but Yin Twenty-four gave each person a hundred-year-old precious medicine. After taking it, they would not feel hungry for several days.

Li Weiyi secretly calculated that just these dozens of precious herbs were worth tens of millions of copper coins. The Hidden Sect was really arrogant. It was unknown whether it was provided by the nine tribes every year or whether it was the Hidden Sect's own cultivation resources.

On the sixth day, the canoe finally slowed down and entered a narrow underground river tributary.

As soon as they entered, they heard the shrill chirping of cicadas, which pierced into their minds like a knife.

“Wow! Wow!”

On the dark cave wall, two golden lights bloomed, and the lights condensed into tiger shadows, like two giant golden tigers lying on the stone wall. But if you look closely, you will find that inside the tiger shadows are two palm-sized golden cicadas.

The man sitting cross-legged at the bow finally stood up, wearing a metal mask. "Don't panic, they are two tiger-striped golden cicadas guarding the passage to Jiuli Insect Valley. I am the hidden god of the past sixty years. You can call me the Hidden Lord now."

Two commander-level strange insects guarding the entrance to the passage?

This hermit king looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.

Li Weiyi immediately realized the strength of the Hidden Sect. If the Earth Wolf King Army dared to attack the Nine Li Hidden Sect, they would definitely suffer a great loss. The ancient clan that has been passed down for thousands of years is really not as simple as it seems.

The boat continued to sail, and light gradually appeared from the ground.

The brilliance of various colors.

After passing through an ancient stone gate, the view began to open up, the fragrance of grass and trees came, and a vast underground valley appeared on the riverside like a red ribbon.

The valley was foggy.

It is not real fog, but atomized magical energy similar to that in the Taoist realm.

"There is definitely a huge Tianfa Diquan here!"

Li Weiyi was terrified as he looked towards the valley. There were many glowing plants growing on the ground, colorful and brilliant. In the distance, there were glowing trees as tall as a jungle.

There are many stone tablets beside the underground blood river, some of which are engraved with words, scriptures, and some with human-shaped fighting patterns.

In the distance, on the blurry towering cliff, there are four ancient and huge characters engraved, demonstrating unparalleled divinity and attracting everyone's attention.

The boat stopped.

Yin Jun was the first to land, followed closely by Yin Twenty-four.

After getting off the boat, the twenty-six boys, girls and children were all taken to the foot of the cliff carving.

The Hidden Lord said in a deep voice: "The four characters of Jiuli Worm Valley on the cliff were carved by the Jiuli God himself. Anyone who enters the valley must kowtow. Anyone who can comprehend a trace of the battle method idea of ​​Jiuli God in the inscription can directly become a Hidden God."
