Chapter 64: March into the Abyss
Representatives of the three parties discussed and finally decided on a quota of thirty people.
It's not that only thirty people are allowed to enter the abyss, but once the number of people increases, it will be difficult to manage and it will be easy to attract powerful enemies. Thirty people is considered a large team.
And in order to ensure efficiency, these thirty people must all have the strength of a Martial Saint or above.
Xuantian Territory was allocated five places. This was actually because Xuantian Territory did not have a Martial God. Without the leadership of a Martial God, it could not get enough protection and could easily die in the first place.
The gathering time was set for three days later. After Liu Ming returned, he held a meeting among the top warriors. All eleven martial saints in the territory participated in this meeting.
This meeting selected five Martial Saints, among whom, in addition to Yang Chen, Liu Ming, Kong Dong, and Sun Xue, there was also the territory’s first Martial Saint, Hongwu.
Hongwu has a younger brother named Honghuo who is in the materials trading business and has been in contact with Yang Chen before.
These five people are the candidates for Xuantian Territory to march into the abyss.
They made some preparations in private and met with each other to talk, mainly to cooperate when entering the abyss later.
In fact, there is no problem in coordination among the four Martial Saints that Yang Chen can control. He only needs to cooperate well with Hongwu.
Finally, the long-awaited third day arrived.
Everyone gathered in the White Dragon Territory.
The Martial Saints sent by the White Dragon Territory were all familiar faces, the same Martial Saints who had previously besieged the Xuantian Territory.
The Cuiwei Territory was allocated ten places this time, and also brought their territory's powerful Martial Saint.
The two territories were led by two Martial Gods respectively. The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core possessed the Valkyrie Liu Ruhong, while Yang Chen possessed Liu Ming. He did not have a Martial God on his side, so after entering the abyss, he could only choose to let his own Martial Saint follow closely behind Liu Ruhong. This was also what he had discussed with Hongwu before.
"We are finally entering the abyss. This is the first time I have set foot in the abyss in my life. I can't imagine it." Yang Chen said to the Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core.
In the past, he was just a small warrior. He knew that those who could enter the abyss were all powerful martial saints. You must know that much of human technological civilization was brought out from the abyss.
"How much do you know about the abyss?" The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core asked Yang Chen.
"I just learned some information from some predecessors. I heard that the inside of the abyss is divided into many areas. There is no fixed space, and there is even time and space turbulence. Once you enter, you may be involved in some unimaginable challenges." Yang Chen said.
The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core chuckled and said, "It seems you know much less than I do."
"Then what do you know about the abyss? Do you know its full picture?" Yang Chen asked back.
The two of them made inquiries through voice transmission, which was a method only the Lord of the Crystal Core had, and their projections were standing together and could not be seen by the warriors.
The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core said, "The Abyss is a dimensional space created by dark forces. It is a breeding ground for mutant beasts and zombies. Powerful weapons of war are cultivated there. Their goal is to destroy the territory ruled by the Lord of the Crystal Core and eliminate him. However, according to the known intelligence, the Abyss has not made any major moves yet. It is currently just a military school for monsters. The physical conditions within are not yet very complete, and they probably haven't formed a unified invasion plan. Otherwise, we would have heard news of the Abyss attacking human territory recently, but in reality, such a situation has not occurred."
"Since the Abyss is a military school for monsters, it naturally has training facilities. The special spaces you mentioned exist specifically for training monsters. Currently, our warriors are the material used to train those monsters."
Use human warriors to train monsters?
This was the first time Yang Chen heard such words. It seemed a bit absurd, but if the abyss was really a place used to train monsters, it would be a very dangerous situation for warriors.
"I once entered the abyss. In fact, two of our White Dragon Territory's Martial Gods also led their troops there. My team at the time entered a time-space turbulence and was sent to a dungeon. There, we were undergoing some kind of training. Monsters would hide behind cover and engage in shooting battles with us warriors."
"At that time, our team had a powerful long-range attacker. The opposing monsters were completely annihilated, and we successfully escaped from that dungeon."
Yang Chen found it hard to believe what the Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core said because it was a bit bizarre.
"You mean, the space within those time and space turbulences is like a dungeon game for monsters?"
Yang Chen's mind suddenly emerged with a scene of a group of monsters queuing up, queuing up to enter the dungeon, and even issuing number plates and the like. It was weird just thinking about it.
"I'm still not entirely clear on the specifics, but the situation was clearly different from what we imagined. We did enter an isolated room with windows on both sides for shooting. And the ones shooting at us were indeed those monsters, including zombies and various types of mutant beasts."
The more I talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. If zombies knew how to shoot, it would be understandable. But can those mutant beasts without hands really do it?
"You mean to say that those mutant beasts have evolved human hands and possess a certain degree of intelligence?"
Yang Chen suddenly seemed to understand something.
The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core nodded and said, "The large area of the abyss, or rather the square, is infested with monsters whose transformation is not obvious. Those monsters still retain their monster appearance, but within the space within the turbulent space and time, mutant beasts with human forms appear. The degree of transformation of those mutant beasts is extremely abnormal, and they even possess a certain degree of intelligence."
"However, different rooms have different rules. In some rooms, the rules are like what I call a shooting game. Anyone who gets hit is eliminated immediately. They may die, or simply be eliminated."
The two of them were communicating, and the large group of thirty people had already entered the depths of the forest.
They needed to advance along an already explored route. Because this route had not been explored for a long time, it was overgrown with thorns, and some relatively high-level mutant beasts also appeared among the weeds.
The four war gods cooperated and easily killed these high-level mutant beasts.
Among them, there were also one or two level 20 mutant beasts. With the cooperation of the four Martial Saints, they killed them much faster.
Finally, they came to a cliff.
The cliff was very high, about several hundred meters, and just below the cliff, a dark vortex covering several hundred square meters appeared in front of everyone.
It is really shocking to see such a huge whirlpool appearing below the cliff.
"I think most of you have seen the entrance to the abyss for the first time, but don't be afraid. This vortex is not dangerous. There is a safe distance inside the vortex. You don't have to worry about being attacked by monsters immediately after entering the vortex." The war gods gave them a shot of warning.
