Chapter 121: Strange Land



This is a strange and bizarre land. The soil is a strange purple-black color. If you squeeze it hard, it seems that sticky pus will flow out. There are strange plants like sweat hair growing on the surface, and they will even retract into the ground when they sense a threat.

There was a strange scene in the sky: the eastern half of the sky was covered with dark clouds and flashes of lightning, the western half of the sky was covered with snow-capped mountains and windy and snowy, the south was blue sky and white clouds, and the north was as if a volcano was erupting, illuminating the world and making people stunned.

At the same time, for Du Yuqi and other outsiders, there is a strong feeling of rejection in this sealed land. Because to the sealed land, Du Yuqi and his group are like invading foreign objects, and of course they will be rejected by the environment. Even walking here seems to consume extra physical strength, and soon their foreheads will be covered with a layer of fine sweat beads.

The group of people carefully moved forward among the dense vegetation. It can be said that there were dangers everywhere. Previously, a huge monster like a dinosaur crawled past in front of them, shaking the ground. However, it took Du Yuqi a while to recognize that it was just a dream-eating ant commonly seen on the continent of Arad.

Occasionally, something like a bomber would appear in the black fog in the sky and fly by quickly. It was a mutated mosquito-derived alien insect with a mouthpart as sharp as a spear. It was extremely fast and could even fly backwards in the air. It was also as huge as a pterosaur!

Here, even the plants have been polluted by the power of chaos and have mutated greatly. Ordinary grass has turned into purple-red vines with smelly mucus on the surface of their tentacles, which are even taller than a person.

As for things like trees, they either completely withered and collapsed, or formed into mountain-like existences, with countless purple-red roots hanging down from the branches and sinking into the soil. A single tree forms a forest, occupying an area at least the size of a football field. At the same time, each mutated tree forms a self-sufficient ecosystem, working together with the symbiotic monsters to resist external threats. Gigantism seems to have become the standard on this land.

In such a difficult and harsh environment, Du Yuqi and his team went back and forth for three hours, sweating profusely, and even Jet was seriously injured. In the end, they only walked more than 400 meters. When they realized that something was wrong and returned to the original path, they found that the strange purple-red vines on the way were growing at an extremely alarming speed. The road that they had cut three hours ago was almost blocked again! !

Fortunately, after a difficult journey, we finally returned to the safe zone, which is the location of the seven magic circles.

When the huge door was opened, it collapsed toward the outside with a loud bang, and the seven magic arrays hidden next to it began to operate slowly. A steady stream of energy was transmitted out, forming a giant light shield covering the sealed land, making this football field-sized piece of land an absolutely safe area. In this area, the power of chaos was completely eliminated, and everything was exactly the same as in the continent of Arad.

After returning to the safe zone, Lian Xi let out a sigh of relief, and looked obviously tired. She was already the strongest among the group. Jet simply lay down on the ground, ignoring the cut on his arm. Not long after, he began to snore. Even when Du Yuqi cut open his wound to heal the poison, he didn't wake up.

After everything was dealt with, everyone took the time to eat, rest and recover their strength. However, Du Yuqi sat down beside the campfire and fell into deep thought.

From the information left in Valangir, we can learn that after the White Priest entered the sealed land, it was not as peaceful as it is now. According to the records at that time, there were lightning and thunder in the sky all the time, and terrible plane cracks flickered from time to time. There were terrible strong winds everywhere that could corrode human skin, and hail was flying around like cannonballs!

At the same time, some dark corners are filled with chaos beasts, flame monsters and other chaos elemental creatures. Various completely different forces are conflicting fiercely here, as if it is a purgatory. It can be said that every step is dangerous and full of murderous intent.

However, Bai Ji was good at deduction. According to the principle that things would turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme, and that when one moves to the extreme, one would think of tranquility, he believed that as time went by, the sealed land would gradually move closer to the continent of Arad, and the chaotic laws therein would gradually subside. Then, logically, the out-of-control forces in the sealed land would also quietly settle down, and finally form clearly defined areas in the sealed land. If someone could gain the recognition of this power, or tame the remaining will in it, they would be able to successfully obtain the relevant inheritance.

At this point, it seems that Bai Ji's deduction is absolutely correct. The problem lies in one thing, that is, Bai Ji is too subjective, and he looks at the problem from his own perspective. The sealed land that has calmed down at this time may not pose any threat to him, but for Du Yuqi and his party, this is like an insurmountable barrier.

Thinking of this, Du Yuqi looked at Watley, sighed and said:

"Fortunately, we had a backup plan when we came in, so let's use the backup plan next."

Xi woke up at this time and came over. Her face did not look very good, and she snorted coldly:

"When you two were sneaking around there, I knew it was up to no good. Come on, come on, why don't you just say it out loud?"

Du Yuqi shrugged and said:

"In fact, there is no big plan. To put it bluntly, it is very simple. I think our strength is too weak in a dangerous place like the Sealed Land, so I made two preparations. The first preparation is to ensure that our group of people who enter first can lead for more than twelve hours. If twelve hours are not enough for us to seize the initiative, then we will use the second preparation."

At this time, Lin also came to the campfire. After listening to Du Yuqi's words, he was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly:

"It's been less than twelve hours since we entered, right? But... this environment is too harsh. Even if we are given another twelve hours, it will be difficult to make any breakthrough progress. This damn place is too dangerous. If we want opportunities, we have to risk our lives. This is obviously not worth it."

Du Yuqi nodded:

"So, luckily I had a backup plan, which was to bring in the allies. Before we entered here, Watley and I discussed whether to let the Steel Bear Knights join in. The final answer was yes. So shortly after we entered here, the people arranged by Watley notified the Steel Bear Knights and allowed them to follow us into the sealed area. However, Watley also set up obstacles in the most critical area, which is where the passage was broken."

"Because dimensional rifts will appear randomly there, there is no need to say how terrifying this thing is. Therefore, if you want to crack the maze set by Wattley, it will take at least eight hours. These eight hours are a buffer for us. When we were planning, if we progressed smoothly, then Wattley's maze could be strengthened once more, so that the opponent would be stuck for more than five hours again."

At this point, Du Yuqi helplessly spread his hands, shrugged, and said with regret:

"Now, I think that Wattley's reinforcement of this maze will not be useful, and I think we don't need to wait for twelve hours. We can let Wattley remove the maze now. The elites of the Steel Bear Knights and Lord Whip of Redemption who will enter the scene next should make our next work easier."

At this time, Watley also woke up, picked up the coffee pot next to the campfire, poured herself a cup, and then drank half a sip and said:

"This drink from your hometown is pretty good, but the name is a bit strange, Nestle... Is the raw material of this thing bird's nest?"
