Wudalian Pond was located a thousand miles north of Ice City. It was originally a group of volcanoes. Five of the volcanoes were connected to each other, so it was called Wudalian Pond.
When the Leonid meteor shower descended, Wudalian Pond was a disaster area. Countless meteors bombarded the landscape and created many unique climate features.
This volcanic area had two volcanoes that would erupt all year round. The climate was also extremely bad. Storms raged and covered in thick smoke and volcanic ash, so no one dared to go near. Many creatures inside had mutated and formed a unique group.
The creatures here were originally poisonous insects. These poisonous insects were used to the conditions here and didn't go outside. The creatures outside didn't want to come here either, so they didn't go out and didn't go in. That was how the ancient god ruins were formed.
Very few people would come to Wudalian Pond because not only was the climate here bad, but there were no astral tools.
The astral weapons were brought by meteors. Lin Zhen knew that it was a broken planet that brought many extraterrestrial items to Earth. However, in the Wudalian Pond area, not a single astral weapon was brought over. Therefore, no wargods would come here to look for trouble.
There was once a wargod team that didn't believe it and entered Wudalian Pond from the entrance. They went through four volcanoes in a row. Out of ten wargods, only one came out alive. They didn't get anything. Wudalian Pond's bad name spread from then on. It was called the most useless ancient god ruins.
But Lin Zhen knew one thing. In his previous life, not long before the fall of Bing City, the secret of Wudalian Pond was discovered. The Ministry of Science and Technology found out that the creatures in Wudalian Pond had a special characteristic. The crystals in their brains could be combined with another type of drug to produce powerful dark energy, which could replace dark energy stones for the God of War to use.
If a wargod wanted to level up, other than accumulating years of training, they had to absorb dark energy stones. Now, people had discovered the use of dark energy stones. Lin Zhen had bought a dozen of them using the convenience of buying meteorites. Now, they were all in the interspatial ring. However, it wasn't easy for him to buy more dark energy stones. The market price was sky-high, but the supply still couldn't meet the demand.
As a result, the Ancient God Ruins of the Five Dalian Ponds instantly became a hot commodity. Countless War Gods flocked here. Although they could not obtain Astral Tools here, they could obtain crystals that could catalyze dark energy and replace dark energy stones to cultivate. This was simply a holy land for leveling up.
Moreover, people also found a special meteorite at the bottom of each of the five pools.
These five meteorites were the true treasures of the Five Dalian Pools!
The dozens of Dark Energy Stones in Lin Zhen's hands were enough for him to advance to the Fourth Grade War-God level, but it was still far from enough. That was why he had to come here.
Before leaving, Lin Zhen bought a lot of potions and concocted them according to the memories of his previous life. He filled a few large buckets, then bid farewell to his parents and went to Wudalian Lake.
*****
The black specter descended from the clouds. There was no need to specifically search for it. Even from a hundred miles away, it could be seen. The volcanic ash that covered the sky did not disperse. From afar, it looked like an incomparably huge black mountain that connected the sky and the earth.
The volcanic ash was also strange. It condensed here and did not disperse everywhere. The thick black color made it so that no creature was willing to go near it.
"We're here. This is the Five Dalian Ponds. The volcanic ash is the natural barrier between the Ancient God Ruins and the outside world. No matter who wants to enter, they can only enter through the entrance of the first volcano. Otherwise, the thick volcanic ash would suffocate them to death. However, after entering, the volcanic ash would weaken a lot. At least, it would allow them to breathe. This is the magical part of the Five Dalian Ponds."
Lin Zhen's black specter drew a circle and arrived at the entrance of the Five Dalian Ponds.
When he arrived at the entrance, there was a monitoring station set up by the Warrior Union. Every Ancient God Ruins could not be entered casually. There must be a recommendation and a fee must be paid.
For example, the Changbai Mountain Ruins had more than a hundred Warrior Union members stationed there to manage the entry and exit.
But at the Five Dalian Ponds, there was only one person, and it was rotated every month. No one was willing to stay in this desolate place. Not to mention bird poop, there was not even a bird to be seen. It was almost as if no one had come here for years.
So when Lin Zhen arrived, the warrior in charge was even sleeping in the small house and did not notice Lin Zhen's arrival.
It was not until Lin Zhen knocked on the window that the warrior woke up in a daze.
"What are you doing?"
"I want to enter the Five Dalian Ponds. Do I have to pay a fee?"
"Oh! You want to go in? "
"Yes, I want to go in."
"Okay, prove it to me. This is the Ancient God Ruins. People who are not from the Martial Arts Dojo or the Military Church are not allowed to enter."
Lin Zhen gave him the Martial Arts Dojo's certificate. He was now the Azure Sky Wargod. Although he was only ranked tenth in Ice City, he was still qualified to enter.
"Okay, you pass. One million."
Lin Zhen paid the one million entrance fee and then entered the Five Dalian Ponds under the warrior's gaze.
The entrance was located at the foot of the first mountain. There was a natural mountain tunnel here. On one side of the tunnel was the outside world, and on the other side was the forbidden area.
Lin Zhen walked into the tunnel. Bursts of wind blew from the tunnel, bringing with it thick smoke and sparks. It was extremely suffocating.
Lin Zhen directly activated his spiritual force shield and stared at the thick smoke and sparks as he advanced.
After walking for about twenty minutes, his eyes lit up and he finally walked out of the mountain tunnel.
"What kind of place is this!"
Lin Zhen looked up and saw that the sky seemed to be covered by a black cover. Thick smoke up to ten kilometers thick wrapped around the Five Dalian Ponds. It was like an independent world.
In front of him was a group of volcanoes. The mountain on the far left was called the Burning Mountain. It was constantly spewing out flames and smoke. Even from afar, he could feel a heat wave blowing on his face.
In the distance on the right, there was also a Black Dragon Mountain. The amount of black smoke spewing out was no less than the Burning Mountain.
There was a choking smell of sulfur in the air. After staying here for a while, he felt that his breathing was a little difficult.
The place where he had passed through the tunnel was a rocky area. The ground was covered with bare brown rocks that were undulating. Some of them were like pillars, some were like houses, and some were like people. It was a mess. When he stepped on them, he could feel a slight heat. This place was called Dragon Gate Stone Stronghold.
Lin Zhen walked forward. The first volcano where the Five Dalian Ponds were located was about twenty kilometers away.
"Most of the environment in this area is very bad. Only the five volcanic lakes of the Five Dalian Ponds are slightly better. Moreover, there are a lot of mutated poisonous insects here."
"It's just that the level of the mutated beasts here is very high. The lowest is B-Class. The highest mutated beasts I killed before were B-Class. I can't compete with A-Class at all. Now that I'm here, I have to be careful. There are even S-Class mutated beasts here."
Lin Zhen put on the cloud. The scorching temperature on the ground did not affect him. He began to walk forward.
After walking for about five kilometers, he walked out of the rocky area and stepped on the soft soil.
Just a few steps, Lin Zhen suddenly felt that the ground was a little loose.
"There's a mutated poisonous insect!"
Just as Lin Zhen had this thought, the ground suddenly broke open. A fiery red giant centipede bared its fangs and claws and bit at Lin Zhen!
Just the part of the centipede that was exposed above the ground was five meters long. It was even thicker than a gasoline barrel. Its huge fangs and claws were shining brightly. When it opened its bloody mouth, it was enough to swallow Lin Zhen whole!
"A-Class mutated beast!"
Thanks to the Cloud Stepping Shoes, he could fly without a shield. Lin Zhen's body rose into the air. He narrowly dodged the centipede's fierce attack. The Astral Tool, Overlord Spear, appeared in his hand, and he ruthlessly stabbed at the centipede's head!
"Dang!"
The tip of the spear pierced the centipede's back. Sparks flew, and a shallow mark was drawn on the centipede's back.
"What a hard carapace. Although I didn't use all my strength, this is still an Astral Tool. I actually couldn't pierce through it!"
The centipede finally revealed its full appearance. Its body was about twelve to thirteen meters long, and it had hundreds of legs. When it came out, it stirred up sand and stones. With a wave of its tail, a large amount of sand and stones came flying at Lin Zhen!
Lin Zhen hurriedly activated his protective barrier. These sand and stones were like bullets bombarding the barrier. Peng peng peng sounds rang out, and it made Lin Zhen's mental power tremble for a while.
Soon after, a second wave of sand and stones came flying at him. Lin Zhen stepped on the cloud and rose up again. His body was more than thirty meters in the air.
"Bastard, I'm so high up in the air. Can you still hit me?"
Unexpectedly, the centipede's body suddenly arched and shot up. It actually shot up dozens of meters and pounced at Lin Zhen again.
"You're quite difficult to deal with. However, I already know your tricks. You can't threaten me!"
Just as the centipede saw Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he appeared at the centipede's abdomen. The Overlord Spear in his hand fiercely pierced out!
"Pu!"
The centipede's abdomen didn't have such thick armor. Lin Zhen's spear pierced through!
Green blood gushed out. Lin Zhen teleported again and arrived at the centipede's neck where it couldn't attack. Golden Qi shrouded the tip of the spear, causing the Overlord Spear to instantly reach the strength of a middle-grade Astral Tool. Once again, he fiercely pierced down!
The centipede let out a beast-like hiss. Its body landed on the ground, and its front claws quickly dug through the sand and stones. It actually wanted to escape underground.
"If I can let you escape, then I don't need to continue staying here. Stay here for me!"
Lin Zhen once again teleported to the centipede's abdomen. Lowering his spear, he fiercely pierced through the wound with both hands!
The centipede's abdomen was split open by Lin Zhen's spear. The wound was more than five meters long. Huahua's green blood flowed out from the abdomen.
At this time, Lin Zhen finally saw what was called a centipede that didn't fall down even when it was dead. The centipede's eyes were dying. It was actually still wriggling into the sand and stones. Lin Zhen was helpless. He simply grabbed the centipede's hind legs and used a lot of strength to pull this dying A-grade poisonous insect out of the sand.
