"So dizzy … Why is it spinning?"
There was no reaction. There was not even the slightest intuition of impending death. This Sword Faction disciple was originally still staring at the positioning disk to see which entrance was closer. But suddenly, the positioning disk could not be seen. The scene in his eyes changed as it spun.
"Ah …"
He saw a headless corpse that looked very familiar. When he saw the person he was looking for sheathing his sword, his eyes widened. He realized something, but it was too late. He could only cry out in surprise in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Darkness swallowed him.
"In your next life, remember to follow the right person …"
Chen Hao said coldly without the slightest bit of mercy. In fact, compared to Ye Wendao, he was already merciful. Because he did not use the Vermilion Bird Seal to destroy his soul.
…
Death was like blowing out a lamp. Chen Hao directly opened the storage ring that had lost its brand and had become an ownerless object.
"This is the teleportation talisman, positioning disk, and communication talisman? There are quite a lot of things … "Chen Hao said.
"Yes. Don't just take the storage ring. Quickly keep the Jindan and check the corpse. There might be other gains. Especially these sect disciples, they usually have things like protective armor. There are also weapons and so on. Many times, there are unexpected gains … "
"That makes sense. Like my Heaven and Earth Ring, do others have many storage spaces that are integrated into the mind? If so, how do I take them out? "Chen Hao asked as he worked.
"Don't worry about that. Your Heaven and Earth Ring and Five Elements Sword are a combination spiritual weapon. Individually, it is only a low-grade spiritual weapon. But when combined, it is a high-grade spiritual weapon. In addition, the five divine beasts are integrated into the Five Elements Sword. At this moment, it is probably a supreme-grade spiritual weapon. There is still a huge room for improvement. Moreover, even a high-grade spiritual weapon may not have a storage space. The Heaven and Earth Ring can only be considered an exception. At least for Jindan disciples, they probably don't have such a powerful spiritual weapon … Even if they do, after a person dies, their soul will leave the body and the spiritual weapon brand will be removed. It will also fall off by itself … "
Spiritual weapons were the general term for weapons and equipment that surpassed the category of ordinary metal. The materials used to refine them were precious, and they had formations that could increase attack and defense. A low grade spirit artifact was extremely precious to disciples below the Xiantian Realm, but to Golden Core Realm experts, it was the most ordinary. However, for Golden Core disciples, even if they were ordinary sect disciples, it was very difficult for them to obtain a Middle Grade Spirit Weapon. Most of them used the Lower Grade Spirit Weapons that were given out by the sect. A high-grade spiritual artifact was even more impossible. Even for Nascent Soul Realm experts, it was very rare. Of course, the super geniuses that the sect focused on nurturing might be an exception. Geniuses with great luck might also be an exception.
Those that surpassed superior-grade spirit artifacts were Earth-rank and Heaven-rank spirit artifacts. These were even rarer.
Right at this moment, Treasure Hunter's Sword Spirit suddenly appeared and spoke in Chen Hao's mind. "With me here, would you still have to worry about missing any treasures?"
"Hmm? Are you done? "Chen Hao was pleasantly surprised. After stepping into the Golden Core realm, Chen Hao had always been thinking about tempering the mysterious existence in his mind. Even when he was in the Seven Stars Grotto-heaven, he was still thinking about it. However, Treasure Hunter's Sword Spirit told him that they still needed some time, and that they could just wait for them to finish. Up until now, Treasure Hunting's sword spirit had not appeared.
"If it's not good, can I come out? When you have time to cultivate, you can start tempering … "Treasure Hunter's Sword Spirit said.
"Okay!" Chen Hao's face shone with a hint of anticipation as he said.
Without wasting any time, after a short conversation, Chen Hao picked up the positioning disk and studied it carefully for a moment. The positioning disk was covered with dense and thin golden lines. From the curved shape of the golden lines and the number annotations, it could be seen that this was the map of the Ancient Black Wind Cave.
"This bigger green dot is where I am. The other smaller green dots are where Fan Fang and the others are. The dark areas outside the red warning line are the areas that have not been detected. They are also the areas that are beyond the range of the teleportation talisman, right? "
"Yes, that's right. Those flashing white dots are the entrances to the next level. The positioning disk only shows the map of the level you are on and your teammates. "
"There are still three people on the first level who are approaching the entrance to the second level. They are not far in a straight line, but if you want to chase after them, it will be too late. It will take at least thirty to forty thousand miles to catch up … See you on the second level then!" Chen Hao said.
"Hiss!"
Chen Hao turned into a stream of light and flew toward the nearest entrance to the second level.
…
"Ah?"
Not long after Chen Hao left, several figures appeared at the place where Chen Hao had killed the disciple of the Sword Faction as fast as lightning. Coincidentally, he saw a headless corpse that had been gnawed by several demonic beasts. The corpse's white bones were exposed, and some pieces of meat hung on it. Not far away, there was a skull rolling. It was obvious that it had just been gnawed clean. The extremely valiant robe of the Flying Sword School disciple had also been turned into pieces and scattered around. A piece with the symbol of the Sword Faction embroidered on it was still shining with a faint light.
"Isn't that the disciple of the Sword Faction? Senior Brother Li, it seems that the battle has begun … "
"Amazing! He just died, no more than a minute ago. Otherwise, the corpse would have been gnawed clean. I just don't know who it is. But Fan Fang and the others are at least at the Middle-stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, which is the same realm as Chen Hao … "Another disciple said.
"Chen Hao's talent and battle strength are very terrifying. Although he is the runner-up of the Hundred Empire Ranking, he is not inferior to the champion at all. In fact, he is even stronger. Otherwise, he would not have been snatched by so many high-level Sects. Although the Star-Picking Sect is one grade lower than our Thunder Valley, they have the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, which is suitable for outer disciples to cultivate. This Chen Hao might have comprehended a lot of Heavenly Dao Laws in there … "
These people were the disciples that Fan Fang had asked about at the entrance. Except for Senior Brother Li, who was at the Late-stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, the others were at the Middle-stage and Early-stage of the Golden Elixir Realm.
…
Chen Hao was already very deep. Although the entrance to Ito Ta's memory had disappeared, the new entrance was not far away. After only an hour, a shining energy vortex appeared in front of Chen Hao. It was like a circular door of light, with a diameter of ten feet.
Hiss!
Chen Hao did not stop. He stepped in, and the light dimmed as his body merged into it.
…
"This Black Wind Ancient Cave is too big. There are fourteen of us and fourteen of us. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, he did not buy a Transmission Talisman or Positioning Talisman. Even if he wants to kill others to get them, it will take some time … Why don't we … F * ck his mother.
On the second level of the Black Wind Ancient Cave, a figure was flying at an astonishing speed. The surrounding low-level Demonic Beasts sensed his aura and quickly avoided him. They were afraid that they would be killed if they were too slow.
This figure was Fan Fang, who had entered the second level first.
Fan Fang activated all thirteen Communication Talismans and transmitted his voice into them. "Don't look for him. Go straight to the third level. Look at the positioning disk. Try not to repeat the entrance. When you reach the third level, guard the entrance. That kid will come in sooner or later! If there is a situation, inform me immediately! "
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
Instantly, the twelve disciples of the Sword Faction, including Chen Hao, responded when they sensed the fluctuation of the Communication Talismans. The Communication Talismans came in pairs. They were useless after one use. Naturally, they would respond. However, Chen Hao had changed his voice to imitate the disciple he had killed. Although there were discrepancies, if one did not listen carefully, Fan Fang would not have noticed.
Fan Fang indeed did not notice. After notifying them, he sped up again and rushed to the nearest entrance.
More than two hours later, Fan Fang arrived at the entrance to the third level. He glanced at the positioning disk and saw that the others were quickly approaching the nearest entrance. He stepped into the light door.
…
"This idiot. I was still having a headache about how to kill a few more. He just stretched his neck out …"
On the second level, Chen Hao deliberately kept his speed about the same as the others. He quickly approached the nearest entrance to the third level. It was impossible not to be excited. Originally, if Chen Hao had killed two or three people, they would have noticed. But now?
They were all guarding the entrance!
This was simply courting death!
At this moment, Chen Hao also found out how many people Fan Fang had brought. Including the one he had killed, there were fourteen of them.
…
In a flash of light, Chen Hao appeared on the third level of the Ancient Black Wind Cave.
Whoosh …
A cold demonic wind blew. The entire space was filled with a demonic aura that was many times stronger than on the first and second levels. On the third level, even the weakest demonic beast was at the Golden Elixir stage.
Every entrance would teleport one to the edge of the third level. Demonic beasts were relatively rare and of lower levels. According to the positioning disk, as long as one followed a specific route, they would be able to avoid most of the demonic beasts and quickly arrive at the safe zone at the core of the explored area. The safe zone was the palace in the cave that Ito Ta said demonic beasts could not enter.
"Hmm?"
After Chen Hao took out the positioning disk, he frowned slightly. He found that the light that represented Fan Fang and the others were not guarding the entrance. Instead, they were rushing to the safe zone at the core. Of the other twelve people, six had already stepped into the third level. They stopped at the entrance and did not move. Obviously, they were following Fan Fang's orders.
"The one heading to the core should be Fan Fang …"
Chen Hao thought for a while and guessed that the light should be Fan Fang. The others should not have disobeyed his orders. Then what was Fan Fang doing in the safe zone?
"There are 83 entrances on the positioning map alone. It will not be easy to guard me … Since this guy is going to the core, is he looking for help? Or is he looking for a bounty? Very likely … "
The corners of Chen Hao's mouth revealed a wisp of a strategist's smile. After memorizing the route to the nearest teleportation point of the Flying Sword Sect disciple in his mind, he directly threw the positioning disc to a relatively hidden corner. His figure flashed, and his speed was raised to the limit. The aura around his body was also released without restraint, and it pressured the low-level early stage Golden Core Stage demon beasts to the point that they all avoided him. (To be continued.
