After stating his conditions, Lu Chen left the room and waited in the tavern like the two people in front of him.
After discussing behind closed doors for a while, the three of them walked out of the small house. The middle-aged man in the lead walked directly in front of Lu Chen and said, "Pay half first, and then pay the other half after we find the item."
Lu Chen raised his head, smiled at him, and nodded.
… ….
Coming out from the south gate of the Crescent City, they walked along the road that could barely be considered flat but was overgrown with weeds. They could see many pedestrians on the road, as well as the two mountain peaks in front of them that looked like screens. The road extended forward, and it seemed to lead to the foot of the mountain.
Lu Chen and the three employers that had already been introduced to each other were walking on the road. The middle-aged man in the lead was called Han Nanzu, the young man was called He Gang, and the last beautiful woman was surnamed Yi, with a single name, Xin. However, their self-introductions were limited to this. They did not mention a single word about their background, and it was hard to say whether these names were real or fake.
However, Lu Chen didn't mind this at all. In a place like the Disorientated Land where good and bad people mixed together and danger lurked in every corner, everyone had to be cautious. Moreover, Han Nanzu and the others didn't try to get to the bottom of Lu Chen's identity and origins. Perhaps they also knew that they wouldn't be able to learn much from Lu Chen.
After walking for a while, Lu Chen pointed at the two mountains in front of them and smiled at the three people beside him, "The two mountains in front of us, the one on the left is called Tiger Mountain, and the one on the right is called Dragon Mountain. There is a canyon between the two mountains, commonly known as' One Line of Sky ', and also known as' Leaping Tiger Gorge '. It is said that a long time ago, someone saw a fierce tiger jumping from this mountain to that mountain, hence the name."
"Ah?" Could it be that there are really fierce tigers on this Tiger Mountain? "The one who said this was Yi Xin with a curious expression.
Lu Chen smiled without saying a word, but He Gang snorted and said, "Junior Sister, these are just wild rumors, how can you take them seriously?"
Yi Xin's face turned red, and she made an "oh" sound, looking a little embarrassed. Lu Chen pretended that he didn't see anything as he smiled and said, "Once we pass through the Leaping Tiger Gorge, we will be considered to have entered the Land of Chaos. Although there won't be much danger in the beginning, the deeper we go, the more chaotic the five-elemental spiritual energy will be. The various demonic beasts will also become more ferocious and powerful, so everyone should be careful. "
Han Nanzu nodded slightly, but before he could speak, He Gang calmly said, "It's just the outer regions of the Chaotic Lands. If there are any dangers, we will naturally deal with them. Since your cultivation is low, don't drag the three of us down. "
"Senior brother." Yi Xin called out to He Gang, as if she felt that his words were a little unpleasant. Han Nanzu, who was walking in front, also frowned slightly.
Lu Chen didn't seem to be angry, but instead smiled and said, "Brother He is right. In terms of cultivation, I can't compare to the three of you. I barely have the ability to protect my life. If I encounter any danger in the future, I will try my best to hide and not cause trouble for the three of you. However, if we encounter any danger that is difficult to deal with, we can only ask for Brother He's help when the time comes. "
Hearing Lu Chen's humble words, He Gang's expression immediately eased up and he said with a slightly proud expression, "Of course, we still need to rely on you to find the Two-striped Dusk Fog Flower."
Lu Chen laughed and cupped his hands, "Then I will thank Brother He in advance."
He Gang smiled and didn't reply, only walking forward with his hands clasped behind his back.
At the side, Han Nanzu saw this scene and frowned. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he shook his head and remained silent.
The four of them walked for about half an hour and finally arrived in front of the Leaping Tiger Gorge that Lu Chen had mentioned. Standing at the foot of the green mountain, they suddenly felt that the surrounding trees were dense and the temperature seemed to have dropped significantly. A gorge passed through two mountains, with only one winding mountain path winding around the gorge. The widest part of the path seemed to be only six or seven feet wide.
At this moment, the Leaping Tiger Gorge wasn't empty. Although it wasn't as lively as the Crescent City, there were still some people coming and going. From their appearance and clothing, they seemed to be cultivators. However, apart from those who were travelling with them, when they passed by or approached someone else, those cultivators' eyes would reveal a very obvious vigilance and vigilance.
Needless to say, the cultivators walking in the Leaping Tiger Gorge were those who planned to explore the Disorienting Lands, or those who had already explored and returned. Under Lu Chen's lead, Han Nanzu and the others also entered the Leaping Tiger Gorge.
Once they entered the gorge, they saw that the surrounding scenery had changed once again. On both sides of the gorge, there were towering rocks, old trees, and ancient vines everywhere. From time to time, there would be grotesquely shaped rocks jutting out of the gorge. In addition to the occasional appearance of a mountain spring, the mossy water converged to form a stream, giving the place a sense of a different scenery with each step.
As for Yi Xin, it seemed like this was the first time she had come to the Disorienting Lands. She looked at the scenery in front of her with admiration, occasionally exclaiming in surprise when she saw one or two unique sceneries. She seemed to still have a childlike innocence, making the journey a bit more lively.
The Leaping Tiger Gorge was rugged and narrow, but the entire journey was uneventful. An hour later, they arrived at the entrance of the gorge. At the end of the path was a large stone with the word "Disorienting Lands" engraved on it.
The four of them stopped next to the large stone. Han Nanzu and the others looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Once they passed through this stone, they would officially enter the Disorienting Lands. For many years, this place had always been known for its dangers. Since ancient times, it had devoured the lives of countless cultivators. It could be said to be an ominous place.
In comparison, Lu Chen appeared calm and relaxed. He walked over to the stone and lightly patted it. Then he smiled at Han Nanzu and the others before walking past the stone.
Han Nanzu and the others quickly followed.
As soon as they walked out of the Leaping Tiger Gorge, Han Nanzu and the others suddenly felt a strange and inexplicable feeling sweep past their bodies. It was like an invisible breeze, causing the spiritual energy in their dantian's Qi Sea to tremble for no reason. But after carefully sensing it, they discovered that there wasn't much of a difference.
Lu Chen said, "We have only just entered the Disorienting Lands, so the five elements of chaos are not obvious. At the very least, within a thousand miles of the Disorienting Lands, there is no effect on the cultivation of human cultivators. There is no need to panic."
Han Nanzu nodded with a calm expression. It seemed that he had some experience in the Disorienting Lands. He said, "Many thanks for Brother Lu's reminder. What do we plan to do next?"
Lu Chen said, "The Dusk Mist Flower that you are looking for can be found in the Black Armor Mountain about one hundred and fifty miles to the southwest. However, the road is difficult to traverse and there should be some obstacles along the way. It will take about a day or two to get there."
Han Nanzu nodded, "Since that is the case, then we should hurry."
Lu Chen agreed with a smile and led the way forward. At the same time, he raised his head to look at the sky. In this late autumn season, the sky was clear and blue. The world was tranquil and there were even a few white clouds slowly drifting by.
High up in the sky, far away from the sight of these four people, a layer of white clouds floated like silk. A few rays of sword light suddenly shot out from the layer of clouds, streaked across the horizon, and flew towards the depths of the Land of Chaos.
