Fox and the rest met up with Griffon's group and continued forward.
It was a hellish world ahead.
Fortunately.
Lin Dong cleared the area in front of him. Most of the monsters had been killed, and the few that were left were either scared out of their wits or were trash that the Gryphon and the others didn't even bother looking at. Not to mention Griffon, even the Shadow Warriors of the Darkness Palace could kill one or two of them.
"So many Blood Cores!" Griffon happily dug out the Blood Cores, but when Fox threatened not to wait for him, he immediately gestured for the Shadow Warriors to take over. "I'll give the Darkness Palace 50% of the profits. The Teutonic Knights and Fox will each get a quarter. Also, Sergei and Ariev, how could I forget you? I'll give you 10% of our share. Don't be too touched, just call me Boss from now on! As for the collection of Blood Cores, I don't think there's a problem with speed. It's very safe anyway. The important thing is to be careful. Remember not to miss a single one. These are all extremely rare treasures for exploration. "
"Griffin, that's one of us!" Jonathan was speechless. Shouldn't you at least tell us if you want to order them around?
"You and I don't need to distinguish between us!" Griffon laughed.
"Alright!" Jonathan was speechless.
Leaving the Shadow Warriors to collect the Blood Cores, Griffon and the rest sped up to catch up with Lin Dong.
They walked for about two hours. In a scorching canyon filled with corpses, they saw Lin Dong on top of a pile of corpses.
He had a heavy sword in his hand.
Apart from the dirty blood that stained his clothes, Lin Dong's appearance had not changed much since he came in.
This time, not only the hardcore Griffon fan, but even Fox and Enoko Kazama, who thought they could maintain their rationality at all times, were shocked. At a rough estimate, there were at least a thousand monsters that had been slaughtered here. Some were especially huge, some looked extremely ferocious, some looked hideous, and some were obviously strong creatures.
But they all had one common characteristic.
He had already fallen to the ground and died.
Under Lin Dong's sword.
No one survived.
"Lord God of Heaven, I worship you so much!" Griffon took out a flashlight and used it as a microphone. Then, acting like a tabloid reporter, he placed the flashlight next to Lin Dong's mouth. "Can you tell me how you're feeling right now? You've slaughtered so many monsters at once and completed the great achievements of 'Thousand Demon Slash' and 'Bloody Butcher'. What do you want to say the most now? By the way, what I really want to know is, aren't you tired? "
"Secret code. If you don't say it in three seconds, I'll cut you in half!" Lin Dong said with a straight face.
"Of course I know the secret code, but you said that I can't say it even if my life is on the line!" Griffon hurriedly put away the flashlight and attentively handed the backpack to Lin Dong. "If I'm fake, you don't have to kill me. Fox and the others would have already killed me … First, change your clothes. Wait, Lord God of Heaven, did you also meet vampires that changed into our appearance?"
"Of course, but I killed them all." Lin Dong calmly walked down from the pile of corpses.
"This pile is all?" Griffon looked at the pile of corpses that was about five to six meters high. Holy shit, how many vampires must have died to pile up this high?
"Vampires have already turned into blood. These are monsters!" Lin Dong opened the backpack and took off his wet clothes. He wiped them with a large towel and changed into a new set of clothes.
Fox and Enoko Kazama saw Lin Dong's slender body that was as fit and beautiful as a god's. Their eyes shone brightly.
But they looked at each other.
No one stepped forward.
Lin Dong didn't ask them to serve him, so they didn't dare to mess around.
Moreover, they also knew that behind this man, there were women far better than them surrounding him. Even they couldn't succeed, so no matter how tempted they were, they had to learn to be patient. If they were rash, it was very likely that they would take a wrong step and make him feel disgusted. Then there would be no chance in the future.
"You're too slow!" Lin Dong changed his clothes and the first thing he said was criticism. "I thought you would arrive earlier and wanted to leave a few monsters for you to sharpen your combat skills. I didn't expect you to arrive nearly an hour later than I thought. If you still didn't come, I wouldn't have bothered to wait for you. The end may be in front, I hope there's still a chance! "
When Lin Dong said this, Jonathan and the others lowered their heads in shame.
If it wasn't for Fox and Enoko Kazama.
They were probably still in the crystal dream. Moreover, since they woke up from the dream, they didn't act immediately and came as fast as they could.
After being criticized by Lin Dong, everyone was silent. They secretly reflected on their gains and losses in this expedition. If they could do it again, everyone believed that they could do better. Many shortcomings could be made up for.
But.
Time didn't go back.
In the following expedition, whether it was Fox and Enoko Kazama, or Griffon, Jonathan and Remiga, they all secretly made up their minds to go all out and try to prove themselves in front of Lin Dong. They didn't follow him to drag him down, but to learn and sharpen themselves. They had the best opportunity, but unfortunately, it was like a dream and they didn't really get any improvement.
Walking out of the hot valley full of corpses, the front suddenly opened up.
They walked forward for less than ten kilometers.
In the distance.
There was an extremely huge flashing barrier that divided the entire world into two halves.
Even the crystal dream that Griffon and the others were in was exactly the same. On the opposite side of the flashing barrier was a beautiful world full of crystals and endless brilliance.
The strangest thing was that, less than a hundred meters away from the opposite side, the world of light was full of people from the expedition team, such as Philip, Thomas, Reynold, and other team leaders, as well as their subordinates. Of course, there was also Čepes and his humanoid and mutant guards. These people stood densely by a river in the crystal world and were slowly crossing a crystal bridge.
On Lin Dong's side.
They could see the scene on the opposite side at a glance.
Philip and Čepes, on the other hand, knew nothing about Lin Dong's side. It was as if Griffon and Jonathan, who were waving at them, didn't exist in front of them.
"It's useless. They are now in the same crystal dream as we are. Maybe they are dreaming, or at least, they are hallucinating, so it is impossible for them to detect our existence. "Fox had already guessed this result.
"I'll throw a stone!" Griffon tried to throw a stone again, just like what happened in the crystal dream.
The stone flew behind the flashing barrier and disappeared without a trace.
A seemingly extremely thin curtain of light.
It divided the two worlds.
After Lin Dong saw it, he frowned and motioned for Griffon and the others to look at the opposite side. "I'll look and see if I can find a mechanism. I think there is a connection between the black and white worlds. They just lack a mechanism or opportunity to open it. You guys stay here and don't go far! And pay attention to Čepes and his subordinates. If they do anything unusual, inform me immediately! "
Fox came over and volunteered. "Why don't we help look too?"
Lin Dong shook his head. "You guys don't know how to sense Qi. Don't waste time. Help me keep an eye on Čepes!"
Enoko Kazama was happy when she heard this. "Master Lin Dong, can you let me try? Although Zhizi is slow, she can barely sense the existence of Qi! "
Lin Dong looked at her and then at Fox. "The blood here is boiling. It is good that you can sense Qi, but it will not be very effective. I need someone to stay here and keep watch. If we are too relaxed, the enemies hiding in the dark may launch a sneak attack!"
"Yes, Lin Dong-sama, I will carry out your orders to the letter. Please leave the security to Shizuko!" Fuuma Shizuko bowed deeply in delight.
"…" Fox was so angry that even the roots of his teeth were itching. He wanted nothing more than to bite this annoying leech girl.
Shiko Fuuma kept bowing as she sent Lin Dong off with a submissive expression.
She waited for Lin Dong to leave.
She straightened her back and raised an eyebrow at Fox.
Enoko Kazama did not speak, but her meaning was obvious. No matter how good Fox was, she was still a Westerner. At the very least, she was at a disadvantage when it came to Qi.
Fox clenched her fists. She did not speak, but she secretly swore that no matter how difficult it was, she must learn how to use Qi when she returned.
The barrier between the East and the West?
No!
Nothing in the world can stop her from becoming an Empress!
"Jonathan, look. What is that?" Griffon saw a beautiful illusion appear in front of the exploration team after they crossed the crystal bridge. Why was it an illusion? The reason was that what Griffon saw did not exist at first. It just appeared as soon as the exploration team crossed the bridge, and it was similar to the legendary entrance to Rainbow Paradise.
"Damn it. I'm afraid Rainbow Paradise does not exist. It's just an illusion that will make people fall forever!" Johnathan's heart was in his throat. If this continued, the entire expedition team would be destroyed by this illusion.
"No, no, that wisdom tree is fake. Don't go near it!" Remiga saw Philip leading his companions from the Darkness Palace toward a monster that looked like a giant octopus with countless wriggling tentacles. But in the illusion of the Crystal World, it was perfectly disguised as a tall wisdom tree with thick roots and lush leaves.
Jonathan and Remiga yelled.
But it was useless.
They watched as Philip, who was interested in the wisdom tree, led his companions from the Darkness Palace toward the octopus monster that was disguised as an ancient tree.
Not only Philip, but the other leaders, including Thomas and Reynold, also slowly surrounded it with their subordinates. They were very interested in the wisdom tree in front of them, which was thirty to forty meters tall and had an old face. When the exploration team approached, it would open its eyes and even speak to greet them.
Something that only appeared in fantasy worlds had appeared in front of them in real life.
Who could restrain their curiosity?
If they were not worried that the other party would suddenly attack, Thomas and the others would have gotten closer.
"The wisdom tree, the legendary guide to the entrance of Rainbow Paradise!" Čepes said excitedly, adding fuel to the fire.
"Humans, humanoids, and mutants, welcome. I don't remember how many years it has been since a life has come to me. Please allow me to call you children. I'm very happy for your short and glorious lives. Children, what do you want to know? The old oak tree will tell you everything it knows! Of course, if you have something interesting to share with me, the old oak tree is willing to listen quietly. It's been so many years since anyone told me anything about the outside world … "The Wisdom Tree that was transformed from a giant octopus monster spoke in a hoarse and aged voice. Due to the perfect disguise, apart from Gryphon and Johnathan's group on the other side of the river, no one in the expedition team on Philip and Thomas's side could see through the disguise.
"Respected tree elder, please allow us to pay our respects to you!" Philip and his men bowed to the wisdom tree.
"No, it's just a monster!" Jonathan was in despair. He knew that the octopus monster would definitely try to trick the exploration team, but what saddened him even more was that there was an unstoppable moat less than 100 meters between them.
"Oak Tree Wise One, we pay our respects to you too!" Thomas and the rest were cautious. While they were on guard against the Wisdom Tree's attack, they took turns to salute the octopus monster just like Philip and the rest.
"Hahaha!" The octopus monster that was disguised as the wisdom tree laughed. "You're welcome, children! The old oak tree likes to see intelligent races like you the most. Only those who know how to use their brains can improve themselves through learning. Especially humans, you don't seem to have a strong body, but in terms of intelligence, you're blessed by nature. The heavens have given you humans too much, and this is a talent that other races can't compare to! Children, the entrance to Rainbow Paradise is right behind me, but you still need to go through one last test. I hope that those who have both wisdom and courage can enter and share the rewards and rewards that they deserve. I can give you a little time here. If you're ready, then answer a few questions from the old oak tree! "
