Shangguan Wenping had never been a well-behaved child since he was a child. He was a playboy, a playboy, and a playboy on the surface. Strategizing, sharp-witted, and good at analysis and reasoning were his innards.
Of course, very few people knew what he was like.
Even the girls who had been with him for many years did not understand that this Young Master of the Shangguan Family was actually a person with such "inner beauty" in his bones.
However, his grandfather and some of the elders in the family knew about it.
Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to enter the intelligence department of the family and be responsible for collecting, organizing, and analyzing all kinds of confidential information.
So he looked frivolous on the outside, but he was a jealous and proud person on the inside.
In some ways, he was actually very similar to Liu.
They both believed that no matter how strong one was, it was not as useful as having a good brain.
So he had never been so confused before.
What had happened?
He was a person who was good at reasoning, but at this moment, he did not dare to speculate about this matter.
In fact, as the eldest son of the family, he only needed to show enough good character and then be obedient.
Listen to the words of those who held great power in the family.
Do what they told you to do.
But this matter made his scalp tingle and he felt like he was going to explode.
He was still standing there in a daze when others had already started to enter the Tianhu Holy Land.
Until someone next to him gently touched him. "Hey, brother, what are you thinking about? Are you so happy that your mind is blank? Haha, when I first got the news, I was just like you! "
A young Heavenly Talent from the Tianhu Planet looked at Shangguan Wenping with a smile. There was a trace of concern in his eyes, and there was no trace of mockery.
"Oh, oh, thank you." Shangguan Wenping reacted. Then, at this moment, he suddenly felt as if a cold gaze was staring at him.
Startled, he raised his head, but saw nothing. He only saw Duan Yong's back enter the gate of the Heavenly Lake Holy Land that had light flowing around it.
Just now … was it an illusion?
Although Shangguan Wenping's cultivation level was not high, he was not an ordinary person either.
He swore that what he felt just now was not wrong.
Mom told me to find a chance to kill my cousin, could it be that he also …
Shangguan Wenping took a deep breath. He suddenly had an epiphany. No matter how many truths were hidden behind this matter that he did not know, this was definitely an incomparably severe test for him!
Once he passed this trial, the road ahead would be smooth. But if he couldn't pass this trial, his future would very likely fall into a bottomless abyss!
With that in mind, Shangguan Wenping strode towards the entrance of the Sky Lake Holy Land.
Shirō Makino looked at the door, and thought for a moment, before using the advanced AI to hack into Tianhu Planet's network.
It was better to prepare for some things in advance.
In the past, he didn't have to worry about this at all. Pretty Sis had already done it for him.
He missed Big Beauty a little. He wondered if she was doing well.
Shirō Makino sighed inwardly and led the group through the door.
This was a very large space, somewhat similar to the dimensional space they had entered before, but it was more like the sect's small world that Xiao Bai had entered before!
Xiaobai thought to himself, could it be that this Tianhu Star was also a sect in ancient times?
Was the so-called Sky Lake Holy Land just a place where the sect stored its resources?
That was a very likely possibility.
After the group entered the Sky Lake Holy Land, they quickly split up.
This puzzled Shirō Makino. Didn't they say that the Red Silk Flower was about to ripen? Why didn't they go and snatch it? Why did they split up?
At this moment, Duan Feixing suddenly said, "Although the Red Silk Flower is a plant, it can run. It won't stay in one place for too long. Even if you see it, if you can't catch it and it runs into the restricted area, you won't be able to get it. "
"Oh? Does that mean that the Red Silk Flower is very difficult to obtain? "Shan Gu rubbed his bald head and looked at Duan Feixing.
"That's right. Whether you can find it or not, whether you can obtain it, and how much you can obtain depends on fate, luck, and strength." Duan Feixing smiled. "It's the same for some other spiritual herbs. To obtain them, fate, luck, and strength are indispensable."
Shirō Makino nodded and looked at Duan Feixing. "Young Master Duan, what about you guys?"
Duan Feixing smiled. "We have to search on our own too! Actually, I should suggest that you guys search separately, but … "
As he spoke, he glanced at the Sea Ocean Empire's High School League Champion team and said, "You guys should maintain a complete formation."
After thinking for a while, he said, "If you guys want to be safe, then go directly to the Sky Lake and cultivate in seclusion! Fighting is prohibited there. There are experts from the Duan Family, so you can rest assured. You guys have the map too. Alright, good luck! "
As he spoke, he walked in a direction with Duan Tianxing and Duan Xuanxuan.
The seven people from the Sea Ocean Empire glanced coldly at the Fu Long Battle Team and left.
As for the eight people from the Holy Empire, they left as soon as they entered this place.
Very soon, only Shirō Makino's group, as well as a few other young prodigies from the Tianhu Planet who entered for the first time, were left.
Although they were all from the Tianhu Planet, they were not from the Duan Family. To enter this place, they had to be carefully selected.
Hence, their current state was similar to that of Shirō Makino's group — they were all excited with a hint of confusion.
Soon after, the group of people also scattered in all directions.
The interior of the Sky Lake Sacred Ground was very large. Not to mention a mere hundred or so people, even if ten thousand people entered, it would just be a drop in the ocean.
Moreover, there were many restricted areas inside, and warning signs were erected outside. Of course, they could choose not to believe it, but if they died inside, no one would care. No one would even go in to collect the corpse!
Over the years, countless people had died inside like this.
But every time, there would be people who did not believe it, and always felt that they could be the exception or special. They would charge in without hesitation, and never come out again.
Duan Feixing, that blabbermouth, had already told them all about this.
"Let's go too." Shirō Makino glanced at them.
"Are we going straight to the Sky Lake?" Ji Chae Yi asked.
Shan Gu looked at Ji Chae Yi strangely. "Hey, Chae Yi, are you serious? In the past, when you entered a place like this, you were always the first to jump into the most dangerous place. Why do I feel like you're being a little timid this time? "
Ji Chae Yi glared at Shan Gu and said in a low voice, "Not only is this not our territory, but it's someone else's territory! Before we left, Liu already told me that this invitation from the Sky Lake Sacred Ground might not be in good faith. "
"They want us to fight with the people from the Sacred Ground and the Blue Sea Empire? That's meaningless, right? Even if we fight to the death here, what good will it do them? "Shan Gu said.
"Anyway, be careful. I still feel a little uneasy," Ji Chae Yi said in a low voice.
"But we can't just go to the Sky Lake, right? It wasn't easy for us to come here! "Shan Gu grumbled.
Then, they looked at Shirō Makino.
Shirō Makino said, "Let's go to the Sky Lake first."
Shan Gu said, "Hey … Brother Bai, why are you here too?"
Just as he was speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from a few miles away.
That voice sounded extremely miserable. Just listening to it would send chills down one's spine and make one's body turn cold.
Shirō Makino and the others looked at each other, then hurried in that direction.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived, along with a few others who had heard the news.
Apart from the pool of blood on the ground, they could only see a simple sign. On it was written — Restricted Area, Do Not Enter.
The pool of blood on the ground was right under the sign.
The group couldn't help but look at each other. This was a restricted area?
Was this a joke?
Just like the land they were standing on, there were a few sparse trees and some unknown wildflowers everywhere.
If it wasn't for the sign, no one would know what was behind it.
Shirō Makino quietly undid the seal on his body, then used his psychic power to probe behind the sign.
Boom!
A powerful surge of energy was instantly sensed by Shirō Makino, giving him a fright!
The place behind the sign and the place where they were standing were like two different worlds.
The energy inside was surging, as if there was an incomparably chaotic magnetic field!
At this moment, a withered arm suddenly stretched out from behind the sign. The arm was strangely black and was covered in black hair. It grabbed the hair of a person who was squatting there to check the bloodstains and pulled him in.
"Ah!"
Another mournful scream. The person retreated with all his might.
Whoosh!
A large piece of his scalp was torn off by the withered arm's eagle-like claws.
That person also rolled and crawled dozens of meters away. He was completely dumbfounded.
A large piece of his scalp, along with his thick hair, was gone. He looked like a bloody mess.
The person was stunned, then suddenly ran in the opposite direction, crying, "I'm not going, I'm not going! I want to go home! I want to go home! "
In the blink of an eye, a young Spirit Warrior at the beginner level of the Master Realm was scared out of his wits.
Everyone else retreated in unison and looked at the back of the sign in shock. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
This was too terrifying.
This was the Sky Lake Sacred Ground?
The Sky Lake Sacred Ground that allowed the Duan family to rise, and even the three great empires didn't dare to underestimate it?
Why did it feel like … this place was an ominous place that hid a great horror?
"Everyone, be careful. If you encounter a sign that says it's a restricted area, you must stay far away!" A young prodigy from Planet Tianhu said with lingering fear, "A senior told me this before, but I didn't believe it at the time. I thought that it was just a Small World from another plane, and it had been developed by the Duan Clan for so many years. How could there be so many unknown dangers?"
As he spoke, he took a deep breath to calm his nervous mood, and then he said, "As expected, seeing is believing. Friends, please take care of yourselves!"
With that, he turned around and left.
Everyone else also had a look of shock on their faces as they dispersed.
After everyone left, Lin Zixuan asked in a low voice, "What was that thing just now? I almost couldn't control myself and slashed it. "
Shirō Makino said softly, "It's a little similar to the 'corpses' recorded in the ancient books."
"Corpses? What's that? "Shan Gu asked.
"When a powerful living being dies, its corpse is buried in a place of extreme negative energy. Many factors combine to give the corpse a new consciousness … But this consciousness has nothing to do with the corpse's past. Although it's called consciousness, it's no different from an animal. "
Shirō Makino said, "That old man used to scare me with these stories …"
He didn't finish his sentence, because all these years, he gradually realized that the 'stories' that old man used to scare him seemed to be happening in reality!
This meant that those were not stories, but the truth!
"Then let's go." Not to mention the terrified Si Yin, even Ji Chae Yi and Lin Zijin turned pale.
"Hehehehehe …"
Right at this moment, a strange laughter suddenly sounded in the air.
"Who's there?" Shan Gu nocked an arrow and quickly used his divine sense to locate the person.
Ji Chae Yi flashed the Dark Moon Blade in her hand.
Si Yin took out the Sky Splitter Hammer.
The door-sized broadsword also appeared in Lin Zijin's hand.
Shirō Makino's body was surrounded by talismans.
It wasn't that they were overreacting, but this place was too strange. The laughter was even more confusing.
"Hehehe …"
The cold and strange laughter came from the air again.
"Damn it, laugh your ass! If you have the guts, come out and let me … "As Shan Gu was cursing, suddenly, an old, withered arm reached out from behind the warning sign!
Unlike the black, withered arm that was covered in hair, this arm was also withered, but it was covered in all kinds of talismans!
It looked like the arm of an old human!
However, this arm was at least 50 meters long. How could a normal human arm be so long?
The arm shot towards Shan Gu at lightning speed!
The arrow in Shan Gu's hand suddenly shot towards the arm.
His arrow was also the fastest!
"Ding!"
As if it had hit an indestructible metal, the arrow bounced off with a crisp sound!
"Dong!"
Si Yin hit it with the hammer.
Because she was frightened, she used a lot of strength.
The hammer hit caused her arm to go numb, and she was forced to retreat. However, the arm didn't change at all, and continued to reach for Shan Gu.
Almost at the same time, Ji Chae Yi's Dark Moon Blade stabbed forward, but it was useless.
It couldn't break through the defense.
Lin Zijin took aim, and instantly released the seal on her body. She slashed down with her huge blade.
This time, the arm seemed to have a reaction. The talismans on it lit up, and formed a layer of defense before Lin Zijin's blade could reach it!
Lin Zijin's blade hit the layer of defense, and caused a violent ripple. Her blade had even come into contact with the arm!
Shirō Makino stared at the talismans on the arm, and didn't use any talismans. Instead, he slapped a Flight Talisman on Shan Gu's body, and roared, "Retreat!"
Shan Gu flew backwards with a whoosh.
The arm was about to grab Shan Gu, but Shan Gu dodged it at the last moment.
It grabbed empty air.
A furious roar resounded in the air.
It sounded like the roar of a wild beast.
Shirō Makino's talismans were extremely fast. After slapping a Flight Talisman on Shan Gu, he slapped one each on Chae Yi, Si Yin and Lin Zijin.
Of course, there was also himself.
"Fly!"
They all flew up at the same time.
Then, as the long arm retreated, it tried to grab the other three people.
As the few of them flew high into the air, the arm also retracted with a swish.
The place regained its calm, as if nothing had happened.
The few of them flew far away and landed on the ground, still in a state of shock. They looked at each other.
Shan Gu's head drooped, and he was quite frightened. He muttered, "What the hell is this? This place is too strange. Let's go straight to Tianhu. "
This group of people had all experienced life and death. They were not the kind of young students who only knew how to fight in competitions, and would get fired up at the sight of something strange.
Seeing how strange the Tianhu Sacred Land was, they immediately lost interest in exploring it.
Only children who did not understand the gravity of the situation would force their way in, and then be quietly killed.
On the way to Tianhu, Shan Gu muttered, "Why do I feel like the Duan family is up to no good? This place is too dangerous! "
Ji Chae Yi said, "They've already warned us, and even put up signs in those areas. We can't say they're up to no good. Think about those signs. How many lives would it take to exchange for them? "
They only needed to stop when they saw the signs.
But when the Duan family developed this place, there were no signs to warn them.
Thinking back to the pioneering era, who knew how many people had died silently like this.
Perhaps it was true that the Tianhu Sacred Land hid countless treasures, but it was also true that this place was fraught with danger!
After walking for a few hours, they realized that they were still at least half a day away from the "Tianhu" marked on the map.
They had lost count of the number of warning signs they saw along the way. Most of the time, they had to walk for half a day just to avoid these places.
When they went around another forbidden area, someone suddenly shouted, "Red Flower!"
It was two young prodigies from Tianhu. At this moment, their faces were filled with excitement as they stared at a ten-meter-tall tree in front of them.
The tree was lush and looked like an ordinary old locust tree. However, the locust flowers that should have been pale yellow were bright red here!
It was too eye-catching!
With everyone's eyesight, they could see it clearly from dozens of miles away.
Although the two young prodigies from Tianhu were excited, there was a hint of vigilance in their eyes.
Because there was a sign under the red flower tree.
"F * ck!"
Shan Gu, who was in another direction, also saw the sign and couldn't help but curse.
Even Chae Yi couldn't help but mutter, "Is that red flower tree a spirit?"
They were hiding at the edge of a forbidden area. One step and they would be able to retreat into the forbidden area. Who would dare to pick the flowers?
At this time, the two young prodigies from Tianhu also saw Shirō Makino's group.
Their eyes were filled with vigilance. One of them, a slightly chubby young man, shouted, "We found it first!"
Haha!
So what if you guys found it first in a place like this?
Shirō Makino smiled. "Then go ahead and pick it!"
"I …" The chubby young man rolled his eyes in anger. Pick your sister!
The other said, "Why don't you go ahead and pick it?"
"I'm going now!" Shirō Makino said. He looked at the people around him and said, "You guys wait here."
"Be careful!" Lin Zijin whispered.
"Be careful," Chae Yi said.
"Do you want me to shoot an arrow?" Shan Gu asked.
"You'll scare them away, won't you?" Si Yin said.
Shirō Makino shook his head. "I'm just going to take a look …"
As he spoke, he slapped a Flight Talisman on his body and flew in the direction of the warning sign.
The chubby young man and his companions were speechless.
That's cheating!
Bai Muye quickly arrived in front of the tree that was covered in bright red flowers. He was about 20 to 30 meters away from it.
Before he could do anything, the tree in front of him, which was more than ten meters tall, suddenly moved.
It bounced lightly.
It did not jump behind the warning sign. Instead, it moved horizontally along the warning sign.
As if it had teleported, it appeared more than 10 meters away.
This scene was actually very strange, but it also inexplicably made people want to laugh.
Shirō Makino thought about it and took out a talisman.
He threw it at the red flower tree.
Bam!
The talisman exploded on the red flower tree, instantly forming a small tornado!
Boom!
The red flower tree suddenly jumped up from the ground. Its countless roots were like countless legs, and it ran away!
All sorts of soil and gravel were shaken off.
Dust flew everywhere!
Shirō Makino: "…"
The others: "…"
But everyone could see that the moment the red flower tree ran away, there were only a few red flowers left on its tree!
The tornado that had been formed from a white wave of air had turned bright red!
Then, the tornado flew towards Shirō Makino.
When it reached Shirō Makino, it instantly disappeared. A large number of bright red flowers piled up on the ground under Shirō Makino's feet.
There was a huge pile of them!
The chubby young man and his companions were completely stunned.
How could this work?
Shirō Makino waved his hand, and the pile of red flowers disappeared.
Whoosh!
Just then, a cold arrow shot from hundreds of meters away toward Shirō Makino's forehead!
