The abyss was deeper than Lu Chen had imagined.
Halfway up the mountain, Lu Chen realized that the astral winds were getting stronger.
"Limitless, can you block it?"
"This little breeze is nothing. Stand firm!"
The black mist from the Limitless Sword enveloped Lu Chen, preventing him from being affected by the astral winds.
Not long after, Lu Chen reached the bottom of the valley.
Perhaps it was because of the astral winds, there was no vegetation at the bottom of the valley. The soil on the surface of the rock layer was blown away, revealing only the grayish-black rock veins.
There was a huge crack in the ground, and the astral winds were blowing out from it, rushing straight to the sky.
Because the air was erupting upwards, Lu Chen was safe at the bottom of the valley.
"It's still safe here. You can't go into the crack. My current stage is still too low, so I can't guarantee your safety." The Limitless Sword's spirit said.
Lu Chen came down to check the source of the astral winds, but it turned out to be underground. Without the protection of the Limitless Sword, he would not dare to go down.
But since he came down, Lu Chen checked the surroundings.
"There's nothing here …"
After checking carefully, Lu Chen did not find anything unusual. Instead, he found a tunnel that led to the internal testing area.
"It seems to lead to another astral wind belt … Alright, since I'm down, I'll take a look."
The bottom of the valley was connected. Lu Chen checked it one by one.
"There's nothing here?" Lu Chen was a little disappointed. In front of him was the last valley near the Sky Martial Stage. He felt that there would not be anything special.
"Limitless, do you know what's down there?"
"It's caused by the celestial phenomenon when I descended. As for what it is and how it was formed, I'm not sure."
"Alright, since I'm here, I might as well check carefully." Lu Chen put away the Limitless Sword, shook his head, and continued walking.
Originally, Lu Chen did not have much hope. But when he came out of the tunnel and saw the scene in front of him, Lu Chen was stunned.
In the last canyon of the astral wind belt, a person was standing not far away!
The man's clothes were ragged and his hair was disheveled. He sat cross-legged beside the stone wall, almost becoming one with it. If it weren't for Lu Chen's amazing eyesight, he wouldn't have noticed that there was someone sitting there.
Even the Ancient Dragon Clan would not be able to come to such a place. There was actually someone here? There were two possibilities. One was an expert trapped here, and the other was … an NPC!
Of course, Lu Chen already knew that NPCs were actually just higher level players. They were just NPCs traveling in the lower heavens.
No matter what the situation was, Lu Chen had to be cautious.
He walked over cautiously, keeping a certain distance and being vigilant at all times. "Hey! Who are you! Why are you here? "
The man opened his eyes slightly, revealing a pair of shocked eyes under his white hair.
"Someone actually came down … and it's a human? Someone was coming down! Someone finally came down! "
Lu Chen blinked his eyes. It was indeed a living person, but he didn't seem to be in his right mind.
"Who are you?" Lu Chen asked again.
"Someone finally came, I …" The man seemed to have lost control of his emotions. He didn't hear Lu Chen's question at all and muttered to himself, "When I was drawing the NPC mission, I won the super grand prize. They all said that I was too lucky to be able to issue the strongest mission in the Third Heaven."
"I thought that my luck would change from an unknown passerby to a proud son of heaven. But who knew that after waiting for so long, not a single person came to accept the mission!"
"I thought that I would have to wait for someone to change shifts, but no one won the grand prize. I just kept waiting and waiting and waiting …"
Lu Chen frowned as he listened to the guy muttering to himself. "Big brother, are you an NPC?"
"Little brother, I've finally waited for you! You must accept my mission! "Unlike other NPCs who hid their identities, this guy couldn't wait for Lu Chen to accept the mission.
Lu Chen blinked his eyes. This guy was indeed an NPC, but he seemed to be unlucky to be tricked into issuing the mission in a place where no one could come …
Those who came to the Lower Realm to be NPCs probably had good and bad jobs.
For example, the job of the gatekeeper of the Shuraba. In a high-difficulty world, the business must be very good. The one in District 19 was more unlucky. He waited for a long time and no one came, so he was very enthusiastic when he saw Lin Huang.
But compared to the one in front of him, the one in District 19 was definitely lucky. This one was so down and out that he was almost crazy. He was probably the most miserable NPC in the Lower Realm.
However, Lu Chen wasn't qualified to care about the NPC's experience. He only cared about the mission now.
"Big brother, what mission do you have? If it's suitable, I'll accept it."
"This … My mission is a little difficult, but you have to know that the risk and the reward are proportional!"
"I know. Let me see your mission first."
[Activate the Legendary-level Hidden Mission "Treasure of Heaven and Earth"]
[Thousands of years ago, the Spiritual Qi of all things in the world gave birth to a treasure. When it was born, it caused a phenomenon in the world and attracted countless experts to fight for it. However, no one could obtain this treasure.]
[Mission Objective: Obtain the treasure on the Sky Martial Platform.]
[Mission Reward: 30 Immortal Spirit Pills, one Immortal Spirit Pill Formula.]
Lu Chen looked at the mission and fell into deep thought.
This reward was definitely the best in history! One Immortal Spirit Pill permanently added 1,000 Spiritual Energy. Even the golden chest in the Lesser Genesis Lair only had 10 of them. The others were all Immortal Spirit Pills that added three dimensions. They were not on the same level as Immortal Spirit Pills.
But this time, the mission reward was 30 Immortal Spirit Pills! Not only that, but there was also a Immortal Spirit Pill Formula!
This thing was amazing. Lu Chen didn't know how to refine pills, but he had Little Green. As long as Little Green's level increased, he could get more materials and let her refine them slowly.
One formula meant countless Immortal Spirit Pills!
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't speak, the NPC looked at Lu Chen anxiously. "Brother, I know this mission is very difficult. Sigh, to be honest, if it was so easy, why would I wait here for so long?"
Lu Chen looked up and looked at the NPC strangely.
"But little brother, you can't catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den! That's a treasure of heaven and earth. If it weren't for the fact that people from the Upper Heaven can't come down to fight for it, I'm afraid people from the Upper Heaven would go crazy and come down to the Lower Realm! "
"Cherish this opportunity! I see that you can enter the Astral Wind Belt. That means you can get close to the treasure. This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. Don't give up. "
Lu Chen's frown deepened. "Can I accept this mission?"
The NPC thought that this kid felt that the mission was too difficult and didn't want to accept it. He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.
"Sigh, maybe I'm too impatient. How can a treasure of heaven and earth not be guarded by a powerful creature? Even if you pass through the Astral Wind Belt, you might not be able to get the treasure. You might even lose your life. As an NPC, I have to remind you of this. "
"The Astral Wind Belt has already damaged your physical body. The treasure of heaven and earth must be even more dangerous. It's a rational choice for you to not accept it. You still have to consider it carefully."
This NPC was actually quite righteous. He was already in such a miserable state, but he still remembered to remind Lu Chen to think carefully.
"Brother, you're right. The risk and reward are proportional. You've been unlucky for so long. It's time for your luck to change." After saying that, Lu Chen looked at the NPC with a smile.
Then, Lu Chen clicked "Accept"!
