Chapter 479: Snow on the Mountain, Bright Candles in the South 39
This experience lasts for thirty days.
By the second day, Mingnan and He Yunfei had found most of the people and successfully reunited with Yuan You. The remaining two who had gone far away also came back on their own on the third day.
At this point, all 38 members of Chengtian Sect have gathered, with no casualties, and have officially begun their journey to the ancient secret realm.
In fact, it is not accurate to call it a secret realm. This is the site of an ancient battlefield where many ancient gods and once-powerful demons perished and the corpses of mythical beasts and demons are scattered all over the place.
Those who are lucky may be able to discover ancient remnants of weapons and scrolls, and those with great fortune may even be able to obtain the inheritance of ancient gods.
Some people are unwilling to see their inheritance cut short before they die, so they use their lifelong cultivation to set up an illusion array, waiting for the right person to come.
Some people set up killing arrays here, letting the living be buried with them, or use the flesh and blood of the living to nourish their own consciousness in order to be resurrected in the future.
Although the killing moves in the secret realm have been mostly solved, there are inevitably some omissions, so dangers are still lurking.
Mingnan and his friends encountered many difficulties along the way and they almost couldn't hold on for several times. Fortunately, they were united and no one died. They also benefited a lot afterwards and everyone's realm and cultivation level improved to some extent.
Even Mingnan himself had some changes in his mood.
After resting, they regained their spirits and set out again, finally reaching the center of the secret realm before the end of the experience.
People from other sects also arrived one after another.
Some people recognized them as disciples of Chengtian Sect and came forward to chat with them, and everyone gradually became familiar with each other.
"Sister Ming, did you find anything good along the way? We were so unlucky. Not only did we not find anything, we also encountered many ferocious beasts and ghosts, and almost got trapped to death in the illusion array."
The junior sister from Yunqing Sect came over and started talking without waiting for Mingnan to answer.
Mingnan just listened most of the time without saying anything, and only agreed with a few words when the other party asked questions.
As for the other party's overt and covert rhetoric, she just pretended not to hear them, and kept beating around the bush without saying a single useful word.
You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
Whatever good things they picked up were Chengtian Sect's business, they just needed to keep it to themselves; telling others about it would only bring trouble.
He Yunfei had also reminded his fellow junior fellow students about this in advance, and they were all very obedient and kept their mouths shut.
The person who tried to ask questions found out nothing and went back in disappointment.
Just as they were walking towards the lake in the center of the secret realm.
Suddenly there was a loud explosion in front of us.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the earth shook and everyone's vision went dark.
"What's going on?!" He Yunfei and Yuan You were the first to react and looked at each other in surprise and suspicion.
Mingnan came back to his senses, steadied himself, listened for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The sound came from the front——"
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, there was another explosion, this time with greater force than the last, which shook off countless pieces of rock and rolled down the mountain walls on both sides.
Mingnan immediately said: "Everyone, move to the middle and stand behind us. Don't panic, and set up the formation!"
"yes!"
More than 20 days of running-in successfully cultivated their tacit understanding. At Mingnan's command, everyone quickly gathered in the middle. Rays of spiritual light gathered together to form a colorful barrier that blocked all the falling rocks outside.
"Don't go over there yet, let's take a look at the situation first." Yuan You narrowed his eyes and stared straight ahead.
The people from Yunqing Sect also stood where they were, not daring to move forward.
Everyone had a look of lingering fear.
Soon, several heart-wrenching screams were heard from the front.
Mingnan opened his eyes wide and saw something flying into the sky, then suddenly exploded into a bloody mist.
"ah!"
There were cries of surprise.
Yuan You was stunned, swallowed his saliva, and said harshly: "It seems to be a person..."
He Yunfei raised his hands suddenly, "Look--"
Before he could finish his words, several black shadows flew up in front and exploded with a bang. Blood, flesh and bones fell to the ground. The sky was faintly tinged with reddish color and a fishy smell went straight into people's noses.
Wanyue, who had been sleeping quietly in Mingnan's sea of consciousness for a long time, suddenly became restless, as if a little uneasy.
Ever since Wanyue recognized its master, Mingnan has never seen it look uneasy.
After all, it is a divine weapon born and raised by nature. The only thing that can make it uneasy is something that is equal to or even superior to it.
Mingnan's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately said, "Retreat, retreat from the valley immediately, quickly!"
Although the people of Chengtian Sect were puzzled, they still turned around and ran back according to her words.
Yun Qingzong was confused, "Why are you running? Senior Sister Ming, what if there is an opportunity ahead?"
Mingnan gritted his teeth and said, "You are still thinking about opportunities at this time. Think about your life first!"
Yuan You asked: "What did you find?"
He Yunfei pushed him and said, "Run first."
Mingnan summoned his sword and stood up, his face solemn, "Wanyue is very agitated. I suspect the thing in front of us is much stronger than me. We can't handle it. It's more important to save our lives."
He Yunfei and Yuan You also drew their swords, and the three of them followed with swords at the rear.
"What on earth is that thing? Why is it making such a big noise?" He Yunfei couldn't help but look back, horrified, "Is that a dragon?!"
Mingnan's heart tightened and he turned around suddenly, then he heard a majestic dragon roar that pierced through heaven and earth.
"roar--"
The shock causes the sea of consciousness to be turbulent, and the qi and blood to surge.
Those with low cultivation level could not resist and vomited blood with a "wow" sound, falling off the sword like a dumpling.
The disciples of the Yunqing Sect who were hesitant to leave got close and immediately fell down in large numbers. Their screams echoed throughout the world and made people shudder.
Even He Yunfei and Yuan You were affected and had to mobilize all their spiritual power to resist.
A long dragon rose into the sky, its huge body blocking out the sky and the sun, casting a thick shadow on the ground.
Logically speaking, the dragon is a symbol of good fortune and should be majestic and righteous.
However, the dragon in front of him was completely black, with blood-red eyes, and looked like it was possessed by a demon. After staring at it for a long time, he felt dizzy and had the urge to kill it.
205: [Host, host, wake up! ]
Mingnan stared at the dragon for a long while. No matter how Yuan You and He Yunfei called out to it, it didn't respond. Mingnan was so anxious that she wanted to knock her out.
At the critical moment, a golden light suddenly flashed in Mingnan's eyes.
"Cry——"
A huge phantom appeared behind her, with its wings spread and its neck chirping, instantly pulling everyone back from the brink of their inner demons.
However, this sound also attracted the attention of the dragon, and its bell-like eyes suddenly looked over.
Yuan You's breath was choked. He pulled Mingnan and He Yunfei's arms and said without turning back, "Run!"
The dragon roared and rushed towards them with its fangs and claws bared, looking as if it could swallow up mountains and rivers.
At the same time, the lake in the center of the secret realm suddenly boiled, and a large amount of water gushed out, rushing in all directions.
