Xiao Chen frowned slightly and followed quietly, wanting to see what was going on.
Xiao Chen hid himself in a corner where the sound came from. Then, he poked his head out and looked. He saw two young cultivators standing at the doorstep.
One of them had been struck by a saber. His entire shoulder was chopped off. There was still a flame burning on the wound. His expression was one of extreme pain.
"Liu Meng, didn't you make a gentleman's agreement back then? Didn't you say that you would not sneak attack your companions?!" the injured person asked in dissatisfaction as he endured the pain.
It turned out that Xiao Chen had seen these two people before. They were the outstanding talents of the various nations that Jin Wuji had gathered at the restaurant.
However, only one of them left a deep impression on Xiao Chen. That was Liu Meng, who had fought with Yue Chenxi. As for the other person, he could not remember his name.
Liu Meng laughed loudly, "Are you stupid? You really believe that? There are three boxes of Medial Grade Spirit Stones. That is a total of six thousand Spirit Stones. There is no point in splitting them with you. Furthermore, who would know if I killed you? You can just be an ordinary person in your next life.
"Pu ci!"
Liu Meng casually dealt with this person with a saber strike. Then, he revealed a greedy smile and took out the other party's spatial ring.
After checking for a while, he sighed, "This brat did not find any Secret Treasures. It looks like luck is more important to find Secret Treasures. However, there are some Rank 7 Medicinal Pills. I'll go to the main hall and try my luck. "
After Liu Meng spoke, he ignored the corpse on the ground, his former companion, and strode towards the main hall.
Xiao Chen walked out of the shadows and looked at the corpse on the ground. A bitter smile flashed in his eyes. The strong preyed on the weak; the human heart was unfathomable. Unfortunately, this bloody lesson was paid for with one's life.
Xiao Chen still remembered that Liu Meng was the first to make a gentleman's agreement. When Xiao Chen refused to make a gentleman's agreement, the person on the ground seemed to be the first to mock him.
This scene made Xiao Chen raise his guard again. He walked towards the main hall of the main hall. His right hand never stopped on his saber hilt.
According to what he had sensed with his Spiritual Sense when he had first arrived, the buildings in the main hall were distributed in circles, and the area of each circle was gradually shrinking.
On the fifteenth floor, there were only seventy or so treasure rooms left. It was obvious that there were hundreds of rooms on the outermost floor.
At the very center of the main hall was a relatively large main hall. It was the core of the entire main hall and also the single largest building in the main hall.
The arrangement of the buildings in the main hall was arranged according to some unknown and mysterious formation. To a certain extent, the main hall was the eye of this huge formation.
That place should be a little more special than the other places. Presumably, the best things should be stored there.
Xiao Chen's speed was extremely fast. A moment later, he arrived at one of the nine entrances leading to the main hall on the fifteenth floor. When he heard sounds coming from inside, he prepared to enter.
Pushing open the door, Xiao Chen lifted his foot and stepped inside. As soon as his foot touched the ground, he felt dazzled, and only regained his senses after a few breaths.
It turned out that this main hall had already formed a world of its own. It was completely separated from the original buildings, forming its own unique terrain. It could even see the sky and clouds flying around, and the air was very fresh.
It was much larger than Xiao Chen had imagined; it was simply unbelievable. The ground was made up of sturdy soil.
Even further away was a huge garden. To be more precise, it was a herb garden, a herb garden with many varieties.
Even from a distance, Xiao Chen could smell the fragrance of herbs. It was even richer than the herb garden he had seen in the underground world.
From where Xiao Chen stood, he could only see the tip of the iceberg. However, every Spirit Herb was at least a hundred years old.
From this angle, Xiao Chen could see many rare Spirit Herbs. They could be considered natural treasures; they were all peak quality Spirit Herbs.
If the lowest-ranked Spirit Herbs could live for more than a hundred years, their value would soar. That was to say, the entire herb garden was filled with priceless treasures.
However, at the entrance of the Herb Garden, the hundreds of cultivators who had rushed over were all gathered there.
Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at the natural treasures in the herb garden. However, no one was willing to move or take a step forward.
"A five-hundred-year-old Golden-Silver Flame Flower. It can raise fire-attributed cultivation by ten years. This is really good stuff."
"There is also a three-hundred-year-old Ice Crystal Grass, the main ingredient for refining the Ice Congealing Pill. Unexpectedly, there are so many of them here. Furthermore, they are so old."
"I think I even saw a thousand-year-old ginseng. This is a great tonic for nourishing Qi and blood. It can live for at most a thousand years. If it is not picked now, it will be a waste. What a pity. "
Exclamations came from the crowd. However, no one took the first step forward. They all stopped outside the herb garden.
They had clearly arrived before a mountain of treasures, yet they stopped here. There was definitely something strange going on.
Even if there were any Demonic Beasts guarding the garden, the weakest of the three hundred-odd people here was a Superior Grade Martial King. There were even many peak Superior Grade Martial Kings.
There were also several young cultivators. Although they were only Inferior Grade Martial Kings, they had all comprehended states. Their strength was no weaker than a Superior Grade Martial King's.
With such a strong force gathered, they could easily kill a peak Rank 7 Demonic Beast. Unless there was an existence equivalent to a Rank 8 Demonic Beast, it would not be a problem that could be solved with numbers.
That was not something that could be solved with numbers. Similarly, when small streams converged into a large river, it could destroy a dam, but it could not destroy a towering mountain.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush to find out the reason. Instead, he swept his gaze across the three hundred-odd people in the herb garden.
For a group of three hundred-odd people to be able to make it this far, their strength could not be underestimated. Aside from a few extremely strong cultivators, most of them formed their own small circles in groups of four or five.
As Xiao Chen sized up the crowd, he discovered the Bloody Bladesman. There were about five or six people who were as strong as him.
These five or six people relied on their strength to stand at the very front of the crowd. No one dared to stand in front of them.
These were all experts who had been famous for a long time. Xiao Chen paid close attention to them. If he entered the herb garden, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not get into a fight with them.
There was one more person that Xiao Chen paid special attention to. It was the scarred man that he had seen earlier. This person wore black robes and stood silently in the crowd.
The surrounding people unconsciously distanced themselves from this person. They all seemed to be afraid of him.
If the Bloody Bladesman had not arrived earlier, Xiao Chen might have made a move against this person.
In a corner of the crowd, Xiao Chen also discovered Yue Chenxi. She was with Jin Wuji.
There were also some young cultivators gathered around the two of them. Most of them were the outstanding talents of the various nations that had attended the gathering at the restaurant. Xiao Chen discovered Liu Meng among them.
A quick count gave a total of twenty or thirty people. In terms of group strength, this group should be the strongest.
Xiao Chen observed carefully. He made a mental note of the people that were worth paying attention to. Then, he came up with countermeasures to deal with them.
"A group of people is chattering here. Why are they not going up? Move aside. This old man will go and take a look."
Suddenly, a stout man walked out from the other entrance to the fifteenth floor. He had a stocky build and was more than two meters tall. When he stood there, he looked like a small hill.
This person carried a huge ax on his back. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. His chin was untrimmed and had a beard. He looked very boorish.
"It's Bai Lixi, a famous expert from the Ancient Desolate Land. He cultivates the physical body and has boundless strength. He is no weaker than the Bloody Bladesman, Sun Guangquan. Unexpectedly, he is here as well, "someone in the crowd said softly when he recognized the stout man.
"Boom!
Boom! Boom! "With every step Bai Lixi took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly. He was very tall, making others feel like they were dwarfed by him.
The crowd automatically opened up a path for him. Bai Lixi laughed loudly when he saw the Bloody Bladesman.
Then, he smiled and said, "Old Sun, you are here to join in the excitement as well. Hey, there are quite a few old friends here. I'll go and see what it is that even you do not dare to touch."
When Bai Lixi arrived at the front of the crowd and saw the scene at the herb garden's gates, his earlier loud and carefree voice fell silent.
After a while, Bai Lixi shook his head and smiled bitterly. "To think that it is this thing guarding here. No wonder you are all unwilling to go forward."
Xiao Chen felt curious. When the crowd closed in, he quietly followed them. He slowly moved forward. After a while, he finally saw the situation at the herb garden's gates.
Xiao Chen could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He understood why these people did not move forward when they saw the large number of Spirit Herbs and natural treasures.
Ten-odd mangled corpses lay in front of the distant gates. When Xiao Chen looked around, he looked very miserable and bloody.
Behind these corpses was a demonic snake the size of a small mountain. It blocked the entire herb garden's gates. That demonic snake had a total of seven heads and four legs. Its entire body was covered in black scales that looked like chainmail.
There was a black crown on each of the snake's heads. When the snake opened its mouth, it occasionally flicked out its tongue.
Unexpectedly, this was a Seven-Headed Snake that could rival a Rank 8 Demonic Beast. This kind of demonic snake could grow and evolve.
Every head represented an attribute. It could grow a maximum of nine heads. At that time, it would become a Rank 9 Demonic Beast.
Furthermore, it would be a king among Rank 9 Demonic Beasts. It would not be an ordinary Rank 9 Demonic Beast. It would be unrivaled within the same rank.
Although it only had seven heads, it was a king among Rank 7 Demonic Beasts. Its strength was no weaker than a Rank 8 Demonic Beast.
However, logically speaking, the crowd should be able to deal with such a Demonic Beast. However, whoever made the first move would be at a disadvantage.
When they entered the herb garden, they would lose any chance of victory if they tried to snatch Spirit Herbs from others.
No one was stupid. No one would be so kind-hearted. Hence, they ended up in such a stalemate.
Xiao Chen looked in the other directions of the herb garden. He discovered a faint barrier around them. That was a barrier laid by a Martial Sage. It seemed that there was only one way to enter the herb garden.
"Dragging this out is not a solution. How about we all attack together? This Seven-Headed Snake has not matured yet. We can deal with it," a Superior Grade Martial King in the crowd suggested.
Someone immediately smiled coldly and said, "That's good. You go and give it a try first!"
The person who spoke was immediately speechless. Although he said that there was no problem, he did not have the guts to fight. The corpses on the ground were a good example.
