339 Entering the Black Hell Ridge
(Merry Christmas, everyone!)
339 Feng
Ming was speechless to the group of cultivators waiting to see their jokes. Just wait and see who will make the biggest joke in the end.
Bai Qiaomo also ignored the cultivators following behind him and introduced the situation of the Black Hell Ridge to Feng Ming.
"The Black Hell Ridge is roughly divided into four areas. This area belongs to the outermost area, and the gravity is between ten and twenty times."
Feng Ming secretly exclaimed when he heard it. The Heavy Stone Peak of the Four Rainbow Academy could not be compared. The fourth floor of the Heavy Stone Peak only reached twenty times the gravity.
Fortunately, they had trained in the Heavy Stone Peak Hammer, otherwise Feng Ming would have felt a little overwhelmed if they had to endure ten to twenty times the gravity right from the start.
"Next is the central area, which is also the largest area, with a gravity between twenty and fifty times. Most of the cultivators who come to the Black Hell Ridge concentrate on this area for training
. Once you get there, you can find that there are caves that the cultivators have opened up as training rooms." "The third area is the inner area, with a gravity between fifty and two hundred times. Anyone who can enter this area for training is a person with a strong body and can rank among the top in the Black Hell Ridge."
"But deep inside the inner circle, there is a most mysterious area. It is said that it is an area with gravity stronger than 200 times. Not to mention whether there are any cultivators who can reach that area, even if they go there, they will never return."
Seeing Bai Qiaomo's regretful look when talking about the fourth area, Feng Ming guessed: "Do you think you can't get in there?"
Bai Qiaomo smiled and nodded, and was eager to try: "I hope I can have a chance to see the real face of there this time."
Feng Ming immediately said: "Okay, let's go in and take a look."
The conversation between the two was not heard by other cultivators, otherwise they would either raise their danger level even higher, or laugh at them for bragging, and then call their friends to come and watch.
There is a "warrior" here who wants to break into the inner circle.
The visibility here was not high, but when he felt the gravity gradually deepened, Feng Ming saw black grass on both sides of the road, with stars on the outstretched leaves.
Feng Ming pointed at the grass and said, "This must be the black star grass, the name is... too meaningless."
If Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi heard it, they would definitely protest. The person who gave the most meaningless name would actually laugh at others for giving a meaningless name.
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "It's probably a name that the first people gave it casually, and it has been used ever since."
Feng Ming nodded, "But it's very vivid. People can tell at a glance that this is Black Star Grass. The pill made from Black Star Grass is called Black Star Pill, that's right."
Bai Qiaomo led Feng Ming to identify the age of the Black Star Grass, "Look at this Black Star Grass. The more stars on the leaves, it means the longer it has grown. This Black Star Grass has only five spots on it, and it has only grown for five years. It can't even be used to make the lowest-level Black Star Pill."
This method of identification... is really crude and simple.
Feng Ming found it magical: "So, the black star grass can grow indefinitely if it is not picked?"
Bai Qiaomo shook his head: "No, it is also related to the special energy here. The black star grass can only continue to grow in places with concentrated energy. The black star grass here in the periphery is good if it can grow for several decades. The refined black star pill can only be used by cultivators in the Tempering Body and Opening Meridians."
Feng Ming said: "So when cultivators first started to cultivate, if they had the help of the black star pill, they could pass the Tempering Body and Opening Meridians faster."
Bai Qiaomo said: "Unless the pill is taken out, the low-level cultivators here will not be able to survive."
It was not because of the environment, but because of man-made reasons.
Feng Ming also remembered that the cultivators he had seen in Black Prison Town before were not so weak.
The worst one was also in the Qi Condensation Realm, and most of them were in the Yuanye Realm.
Up to now, apart from the cultivators following behind, there were not many people to be seen.
However, there was a sneaky figure in front, who immediately ran away after noticing their presence.
Feng Ming could guess without thinking that it must be He Xuedao's lackey, who couldn't wait to report to his master.
Just as Feng Ming thought, He Xuedao was very angry after hearing the complaint from his third brother's men and seeing the miserable state of his third brother who was carried back.
Even if Zhao Tie died, he would not shed a tear. He was angry about this kind of behavior, which was equivalent to a slap in the face of their Black Dragon Gang.
Especially when he heard from his subordinates that the two newcomers dared to call the Black Dragon Gang the Black Bug Gang, He Xuedao was furious.
However, the angrier he was, the calmer he was, and the less likely he would act impulsively, but this anger would eventually be vented on the cultivator who caused all this.
So when he learned that the two men were not only not afraid, but also lived in the inn with peace of mind, He Xuedao was not annoyed but smiled. He went into the Black Prison Ridge overnight and waited for them in the Black Prison Ridge.
"Second Master, they are in, and they are now on the periphery." The voice arrived before the clever lackey arrived.
He Xuedao sneered: "Keep watching. If they don't dare to enter the middle section, force them in!"
"Yes, Second Commander." The lackey received the order, called some more people, and hurried back to continue watching.
Everyone in the Black Dragon Gang knew what happened yesterday. If it weren't for the pressure from the Second Commander, they would have made trouble yesterday. There was no place for two culprits to stay in the inn.
If they don't pay a heavy price, the code name of the Black Bug Gang will never be washed away.
So when it comes to dealing with the two newcomers Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, the Black Dragon Gang is very united.
When the cultivators in front went away and came back, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo also noticed it, but no one said anything.
It's good that they showed up. Their presence was a guiding light, directing them on how to find the Hexue Knife, which saved them a lot of effort.
The two were very leisurely, and their speed was not fast. This was also to slowly adapt to the gravity and environment in the Black Hell Ridge.
As they went deeper, Feng Ming found that the age of the black star grass growing on the ground was indeed increasing, and there were black star grasses that were a hundred years old.
He didn't pick them. The pharmacist said yesterday that the black star grass must be put into the furnace to make pills after it was picked, otherwise the medicinal power would begin to lose after leaving the ground.
So it would be a waste to pick it now. As a pharmacist, how can I waste spiritual herbs? This is not allowed.
Feng Ming said: "We have to find a place where black star grass grows a lot to open a cave for cultivation."
Bai Qiaomo: "No problem, there will be one."
Along the way, in the Black Hell Ridge, besides the black rocks, there was only the Black Star Grass.
The Black Star Grass is the only plant that can grow in the special environment of the Black Hell Ridge. There is no need to look for it specifically. As long as you see a star point, it is the Black Star Grass. The star point is particularly eye-catching in the dark Black Hell Ridge.
Near the middle, they saw caves dug by humans on the strange-shaped rocks around.
The caves are not big, because it is not an easy task to dig a cave on such a black stone.
The caves used by many cultivators who come in nowadays were actually dug by their predecessors, and the later generations just sit back and enjoy the benefits.
Bai Qiaomo also introduced that the better the environment, that is, the places where the Black Star Grass grows densely and the special energy is concentrated, the caves there are all owned by someone, and other cultivators avoid them and dare not touch them.
Feng Ming was excited when he heard this. Wasn't he looking for a place like this to concentrate on studying the Black Star Grass and Black Star Pill?
Then the Hexuedao Cave must have a very good environment.
He was the second in command of the Black Dragon Gang. Apart from the first in command, his cave had the best conditions.
"Then how about we go and rob Hexuedao's cave?"
Bai Qiaomo laughed: "What a coincidence, I had the same idea. He has a cave in the middle section and one in the inner circle."
Feng Ming grinned: "He is so greedy. He occupies two caves by himself. He deserves to be robbed."
When Feng Ming felt that the gravity had increased by twenty times, a line appeared in front of them. Bai Qiaomo pointed at the line and said: "After crossing this line, we will enter the middle section."
Feng Ming stepped over without hesitation: "Then go in." As soon
as he crossed the line, his body really became heavier.
But Feng Ming is no longer the person who trained in the Heavy Stone Peak. His physical strength has increased many times compared to that time.
Therefore, he just stopped for a while to adapt to the newly increased gravity, and then walked forward again.
The cultivators in front and behind were all a little surprised.
For the Black Dragon Gang in front, these two bastards stepped into the middle area by themselves, which saved them a lot of trouble.
One of them couldn't even hit the third in command, so if they took action, no one would have the confidence to win, but they couldn't figure out their details.
Forget it, let the second in command deal with it. No matter how powerful this kid is, he can't be the opponent of the second in command. They are still very confident about this.
The cultivators who followed in to watch the excitement were surprised.
"They entered the second area so easily? Have they really never been to Black Hell Ridge?"
"Seeing them walking in the second area quite easily, I thought it would take them some time to get in. He Xue Dao should be waiting for them in this area."
"Yes, I saw He Xue Dao's people. They must have been eyeing them as soon as they came in."
"No wonder they dared to ignore the Black Dragon Gang and called them the Black Bug Gang yesterday. It turns out they had some confidence. But I think they still don't know how powerful they are. No matter how strong Zhao Tie is, he hasn't formed a Yuan Dan after all. He can't be treated as a real Yuan Dan master."
It took Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo an hour to walk from the outer periphery to the middle area, and the middle area is the largest area.
Feng Ming felt that it would take two or three hours to walk from one end of the middle area to the other.
And the greater the gravity, the more effort it would take to walk, and the slower the speed would be.
He was quite curious about where He Xuedao would be waiting for them.
This man was really kind, and he could actually wait until they entered the middle section.
When Feng Ming found the black star grass that was two hundred years old or even older, a red light appeared in front of him.
Looking closely, next to the red light, stood a tall but thin figure.
Obviously, the red light was the light emitted by the blood knife in He Xuedao's hand, and the tall and thin figure was the owner of the blood knife, He Erdangjia.
