Steep Ravine
"Let's go too!"
Luo Zheng only felt a surge of heat in his chest. His heroic spirit instantly rose as he pulled Wang Nian and shot towards the teleportation formation at lightning speed!
After entering the transmission array, Luo Zheng immediately felt a huge force tearing at him.
If a martial artist had never cultivated before and their body was not strong enough, they would have been torn to pieces by this terrifying power.
After all, it was different from when he entered the Five Beast Proving Grounds. It was impossible for people to not feel the spatial fluctuations produced by the long-distance teleportation that was as long as 90,000 miles.
"Wang Nian, be careful!"
Luo Zheng could feel a huge force trying to separate him from Wang Nian. He hurriedly spoke and released his hands.
Whoosh!
A powerful force flung Luo Zheng away. His body flew out of a ten-meter-tall portal and crashed into a patch of woodland.
At that moment, the forest was already filled with many figures. They had also been thrown out. There were youths from the various battalions of the Five Beast Army.
"This is the Ancient Ruins' Bottomless Valley."
Luo Zheng punched the ground, directly offsetting the forward momentum. He rolled a few times on the ground before standing up.
"Why are there only so many people? It seems like there are at least ten of these teleportation portals. "
Luo Zheng looked at the youths who were continuously tossing out teleportation doors. There were about six to seven hundred of them, but Wang Nian was nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that the fatty had been randomly teleported to another exit.
Following that, Luo Zheng's gaze swept across the area, but he didn't find anyone he knew. He looked around.
This was an incomparably large and deep valley. One could faintly see that in the far distance, there were precipices that were tens of thousands of feet high, extending upwards. Gray clouds covered the entire sky, making it impossible to see the end of these precipices.
Ahead of them was a dense forest with ancient trees reaching into the sky. It was dark and gloomy.
"Everyone, come to my side. This time, the Blood Refinement Trial requires us to survive here for fifteen days. This proves that there is a great danger here. There might be powerful vicious beasts. We should gather together as much as possible to resist the danger."
A young man waved his arm and shouted loudly. Suddenly, dozens of people gathered around him and formed a small group.
"Idiot, since you know that there are ferocious beasts here, why are you still shouting? You're courting death."
One of the youths looked at the small group mockingly. His face revealed an expression that said 'you're all dead meat'. Then, he swept away and entered the dense forest.
"Let's go and look for the Five Beast Tablets. As long as we can enter the top 500, we will be rewarded with Blood Nourishing Pills. If we are lucky and enter the top 100, the benefits will be even greater."
"It would be great if I could meet people from the Young Phoenix Camp. I could act as their escort. If I could win the hearts of one or two beauties, then this trip would be worth it."
"Hmph, it is said that the weakest member of the Young Phoenix Battalion is at the Film Forging Realm. I think they should be the ones protecting you."
Soon, many youths left in twos and threes.
"This guy is right. Ferocious beasts use auras to find their prey. If too many people gather together, they will only attract more ferocious beasts. Furthermore, if huddling together could guarantee a safe passage for fifteen days, then this test wouldn't be called a blood purge. "
Luo Zheng thought to himself. Suddenly, his face changed. He heard a faint beast roar in his ears. It was coming in the direction of the transmission array. "There are many ferocious beasts approaching here."
"Everyone should quickly disperse and leave. With so many of us suddenly appearing here, I'm afraid we will attract the ferocious beasts."
After thinking for a while, Luo Zheng reminded them. If they left without saying anything, it would go against their conscience.
"Idiot, the deeper you go into the valley, the more dangerous it is."
"If you want to leave, then leave by yourself. The surroundings are very calm. What kind of ferocious beasts are there? You're just exaggerating!"
Some of the youths who were unwilling to leave sneered and ridiculed.
"Anyway, I have already reminded you. You are asking for trouble, so don't blame me."
Luo Zheng shook his head. He was too lazy to say anything more. Carrying the long leather bag, his figure flashed and jumped into the dense forest.
After walking for a while, Luo Zheng's heart stirred and he swept away.
He sensed a faint spiritual fluctuation that was vaguely emitted from a hundred feet away. "Could it be a treasure of heaven and earth?"
Luo Zheng sprinted a few steps and found an iron plate half the size of a palm on a big tree. On one side, a wolf was engraved, and on the other side, there was a simple "One" character!
"Five Beasts Plate! It seems that the distance is not bad. If all the Five Beasts Plates emit spiritual fluctuations, then to me, it is like a lantern in the dark night. As long as it enters the range of my divine sense, I can easily find it. "
After some thought, Luo Zheng was overjoyed. If the materials used to forge the Five Beast Tablets had a bit of Heaven and Earth spirituality like this, it would be much easier for him to obtain a high ranking in the blood refinement assessment.
"Let's try again!"
Luo Zheng continued to move forward.
Not long after, there were screams behind Luo Zheng. The roars of ferocious beasts and the sounds of battle came one after another.
The sound came from the direction of the transmission array's exit.
"I've already warned you, but you didn't listen. I can't do anything about it." Luo Zheng curled his lips and sped up.
"It seems that this should still be the periphery of the steep valley, so there aren't many Five Beasts Plates." Luo Zheng continued to move forward, but his good luck seemed to have come to an end. After six hours, he still hadn't found a single Five Beasts Plate.
In the steep valley, there were many ferocious beasts. This was only the periphery, but there were already many Bone Forging Realm and even Film Refining Realm ferocious beasts roaming around. However, Luo Zheng's hearing and vision were far superior to others. He also had the ability to sense with his divine sense. Every time, he could easily find a lurking ferocious beast and directly bypass it. Therefore, his speed was much faster than others.
"Oh, there are spiritual fluctuations again."
Luo Zheng easily avoided a Film Refining Realm Gold-back Bear. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with joy and he quickly moved to the right. Not long after, he saw a very conspicuous iron plate hanging on an ancient tree.
"I've finally found another one."
He grinned. His figure moved as if he was flying, sprinting over.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a swift and fierce sound of wind breaking abruptly attacked from behind, aiming straight for Luo Zheng's vital spot in the middle of his back!
"Sneak attack!"
Luo Zheng was shocked. His eyebrows twitched wildly as he fell to the ground and rolled. An iron arrow brushed past his body and pierced through a large tree before stopping.
"You actually didn't die. Count yourself lucky. I'll let you go this time!"
A youth wearing a flying dragon robe had already shot over from behind when Luo Zheng was rolling on the ground. With a few leaps, he landed under the tree and took the iron plate in his hand. He glanced indifferently at Luo Zheng and turned to leave.
"Wait! It's fine if you want to snatch the iron plate, but you want to kill someone. That's too vicious! "
Luo Zheng flipped over and stood up. His eyes revealed a cold light as he stared at the youth.
"Haha, you say I'm vicious? You trash of the Blue Wolf Battalion, do you want to die? Triple Shot! "
The youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion raised his arm. The black iron crossbow in his hand instantly shot out three beams of cold light.
Those who could enter the Flying Dragon Battalion were the most outstanding geniuses in the Five Beasts Army. This youth was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was arrogant. He completely ignored Luo Zheng's reprimand and attacked to take his life!
Chi, chi, chi!
Three muffled sounds rang out. Three black crossbow arrows were aimed straight at Luo Zheng's face, chest, and abdomen.
All of them were aimed at his vital points. He wanted to kill Luo Zheng!
"Repeating crossbow!"
Anger flashed across Luo Zheng's eyes. His figure moved, and he happened to dodge the three arrows.
Seeing that his continuous arrows had missed, the youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion was slightly shocked.
His family had spent a large amount of money to buy this black iron repeating crossbow from a crossbow master. It was extremely powerful and could be shot continuously. A Film Forging Realm ancient martial art practitioner would not be able to dodge it.
"Take a few more of my arrows!"
Chi, chi …
After shooting more than ten arrows consecutively, the youth only stopped when the arrow box was empty. He stared at Luo Zheng, dumbfounded.
Almost every time, Luo Zheng waited for the arrows to come close to him before he began to dodge. In such an extremely short distance, it should be impossible to dodge. However, more than ten arrows were shot consecutively, yet they did not even touch the corner of his clothes.
"Kid, did you enjoy shooting just now? Now it's my turn. "
Luo Zheng revealed a cold smile and took out a longbow from his leather bag.
The longbow was grayish-black in color. The bow arm was slender, and the lines were smooth. It had an indescribable beauty.
Its uniqueness was on the bow arm. There was a lightning pattern about the length of a chopstick. It flashed with light and revealed a powerful force. It was obvious that this was an immortal weapon. Moreover, from its brand new appearance, it was a brand new immortal weapon!
"This is an immortal … immortal weapon!" The youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion suddenly widened his eyes. He did not expect to encounter a kid from the Blue Wolf Battalion and meet with such a formidable opponent.
"It's not that easy to kill me!"
The youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion was extremely quick-witted. He turned around and fled.
"You still want to leave? If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely kill them!"
Luo Zheng laughed mockingly. His figure flashed as he chased after the youth. At the same time, he took out an arrow from his leather bag and nocked it on the bow. The bow was like a full moon!
Xiu!
Chi la!
The arrow shot out like a bolt of lightning and instantly pierced through the body of the youth in front of him. The power of lightning on the arrow blasted a large hole in the youth's chest. The arrow pierced through and blew apart a large tree that would require three or four people to encircle it.
The eyes of the youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion lost their luster and were filled with terror.
"The power of this Thunderburst Bow is stronger than I imagined!"
Luo Zheng looked at the scene in front of him. He did not expect this either. His pupils contracted and he was greatly surprised.
Previously, when there were only five days left in the blood refinement assessment, Luo Zheng did not continue cultivating.
His cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Unless he obtained an elixir to break through to the Blood Tempering Realm, it would be useless to continue cultivating. Thus, he refined the remaining Thunderburst Metal into two artifacts and gave one of them to Wang Nian to protect his life.
Because it was time for the blood refinement assessment to begin after he finished refining the artifacts, he did not have time to test the power of the artifacts. He did not expect that the first time he used it, its power would greatly exceed his expectations.
"With this Thunderburst Bow, I have the ability to attack from a distance. Even if I expose the Astral Fire Source and Azure Flame Sword, I will still have a way to counterattack when a Blood Tempering Realm opponent pulls away."
Luo Zheng muttered as he took out the items from the youth's body. He took the gold notes, elixir, and five beast tokens and discarded the rest. Then, he put away the Thunderburst Bow and left.
Two days later, Luo Zheng had already entered the depths of the steep valley. He even encountered many Blood Tempering Realm beasts. However, his harvest was not great. He only found a few one-point Ash Wolf tokens.
It was only when he killed a Membrane Forging Realm beast that he found a Blood Leopard token in its stomach.
"The Ash Wolf token is one point, the Blood Leopard token is two points, then the Iron Tiger token should be three points, the Giant Elephant token is four points, and the Flying Dragon token is five points."
Luo Zheng's eyes flickered as he pondered, "Previously, I could only find the Ash Wolf token. It should have something to do with me avoiding the beasts. The military instructors in order to test us, the higher the value of the Five Beasts Tablet, the more dangerous it is. I have been looking for seven points for two days, but in fact, I have been taking a detour. As long as others kill a few more beasts, their points will far surpass mine. "
"Since it's a blood refinement, how could it be easy?"
Rumble … Rumble … Rumble …
Suddenly, a loud sound came from the distance. The ground beneath his feet trembled as if the earth's crust was violently moving.
"That powerful warrior who surpassed the Body Tempering Realm said that the steep valley was the burial ground of ancient martial artists. From the sound of it, it seems like an underground mechanism has been activated. If an ancient tomb is discovered, it is very likely that a powerful martial inheritance will appear. There might even be buried treasures."
