The dragon-nosed horse galloped briskly along the river, with mud splashing under its hooves. The two pack horses behind it were not slow and could keep up.

Chen Chuan had never ridden a horse before, but with his body control and coordination ability, after getting on the horse, he only made a few adjustments and became very adaptable, almost like an experienced rider.

Although there are many trees in this undeveloped land, there is an open land on both sides of the river. From the map given by Chen Bitong, the direction of the river is exactly pointing to the destination he wants to go to, so for now, he only needs to follow this direction.

That’s it.

However, various things at the intersection change frequently and cannot be viewed according to common sense, so he will also make adjustments based on specific circumstances.

And besides these, this area is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

From time to time, he would encounter some weird and strange creatures near the water. In order to save time, he usually did not get entangled with them. He would avoid them if he could, and if he couldn't, he would drive them away with his spiritual power.

After riding for several hours, the river in front suddenly narrowed, and a large number of river pebbles could be seen on both sides. They looked about the same size, as if they had been polished manually.

After taking a look, he directly drove his horse to jump over it. However, during this run, all the beach stones that were stepped on by the horse's hooves actually stood up one by one, and then quickly crawled across the river.

These "pebbles" turned out to be bugs with backs similar to those of lake rocks, and as he ran past, the miles-long lake rocks began to squirm like a tide.

Chen Chuan ignored it and just urged the horse forward. However, this speed was far from the upper limit of the dragon-nosed horse. Even the two pack horses behind could still keep up.

After passing through several miles, he looked back and saw that the lake rocks had disappeared without a trace, and the originally narrow river was blocked by it, and the river water overflowed outwards.

At this time, the two pack horses seemed to be in a hurry and were panting. He simply stopped, then raised his hand and glanced at the activity index on his wrist.

Now even if the second one is not used, the display above is still zero.

Because after cultivating enough mental strength, he could clearly feel the infection and easily resist it.

He felt from this that he seemed to be mentally strong enough to adapt better to this area.

He looked up and saw that Chao Ming was cruising around in the sky, checking the movements around him, but he didn't leave him too far because the environment and creatures here were too dangerous. If you get closer, you can take care of him.

.

After resting for a while, he fed the horses some water and nutritional ointment, and then continued on the road.

The journey for the next few hours went smoothly, but in the afternoon, we saw the river turning a big bend, and the river was surrounded by endless black sludge. From time to time, we could see in the sludge.

There were thick red-headed worms burrowing through it.

Chen Chuan looked at it and immediately realized in his memory that it was an insect called a red-headed earworm.

The reason why I was so impressed was because according to Chen Bitong’s experience, this kind of bug is particularly fragrant when roasted without any seasonings, and it is more flavorful when grilled with maple branches on skewers.

This is not because Chen Bitong and others are greedy for food, but because they are part of the same pioneering work of feeding on fused living organisms.

Because many things in the blending area have high-energy nutrients, some can be used as medicinal materials, and many can also be used as rare biological materials, otherwise there wouldn't be so many companies setting up branches here.

It can be said that although undeveloped areas are extremely dangerous, if they can be explored and utilized, they can be a treasure land.

The third-level fighters can distinguish the rough life limits of living things and know what can and cannot be eaten. With their tenacious vitality, even if they accidentally eat something that they cannot distinguish temporarily, it will be fine.

Can carry it directly.

Of course, this is all under the premise of having teammates taking care of you. If you were alone, you wouldn't dare to do this.

Chen Chuan didn't care about this. With the second self around, he wasn't afraid of these things, but he didn't have the time to roast bugs. If he had that time, he might as well practice for a while.

But he knew that this piece of black rot looked fine on the surface, but in fact there was a risk of falling into it if he stepped on it. There was no place to exert force inside, so even he needed to be cautious, and the best option was to avoid it.

So after he stopped for a while, he went around in the distance. This time, it wasn't until several hours later that he was able to bypass this area.

However, this is far away from the original flow direction of the river, and it is not easy to distinguish the direction clearly. Although there is day and night, the stars, sun and moon cannot be seen, and one can only make a rough distinction based on the environment where one is.

He compared it with the map stored in the lower realm. If he didn't go too far, there should be a gathering place for indigenous people nearby where he could communicate.

Chen Bitong had lived there for a few days in the past. If he could find it, he would be able to figure out his location. If he was lucky, he might also be able to get information about the camp with the Consortium and the Linax Federation.

It's just that I wasted a lot of time by going around in a circle, and I felt like I couldn't get there before nightfall.

The night in the blending area is extremely dangerous and treacherous, making it extremely unsuitable for traveling, so now we need to find a place to camp.

Nothing in the wild in the blending area can be trusted, including trees, and places with water sources are even more dangerous, so he finally found an open area backed by a slope.

After determining the place, he punched the ground several times. As the sound of explosions sounded, a deep pit soon opened up, and the gravel and some insects and weeds that were several meters below were all covered by him.

The force shattered it into pieces.

Then he took out a folding shovel, opened it, and without much effort dug a cave that could accommodate two people inside.

After coming out, he took out some specially prepared insect repellent powder and sprinkled it in the cavity. He also took out a special curtain from the bag on the horse's back, spread it in the cave, and then used a watering can to spray some liquid medicine.

When you go up, the curtain will harden quickly and support the place firmly.

After completing this step, he took out the tent smeared with a special substance, first laid a layer underneath to cover the layer of hardened curtains, then erected the top one, fixed it firmly, and finally

The locks at the edges of both parts are fastened, and the hook surface buckles are all tightly fitted without leaving any gaps.

After he finished it, he checked it again to confirm that there was no problem, walked to the ground, chopped some firewood, and built three bonfire piles in a "Chinese" shape five meters away from the tent, and fused one of them.

The "fire core" necessary for sleeping on the ground was inserted in the middle. After the three horses were led to the tent, they were lit.

The blazing firelight reflected each other and surrounded the entire tent.

Chen Chuan glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost six o'clock. He called Chao Ming down and let him enter the tent. Then he walked into the tent. The moment he entered and lowered the curtain, the sky behind him suddenly darkened.

As soon as we got down, the inside of the tent suddenly became pitch black.

He stretched out his hand and flicked it aside. There was a click, and the oil and gas lamp suddenly lit up. Chao Ming was already curled up in the corner obediently.

After feeding Chao Ming a few sticks of nutritional paste, he went down to the hole dug under the tent.

He was not going to waste time, but was going to cut through the cracks and practice spiritual practice.

There are no locust mothers and field monitors here, and no one will care about him. It's just that the place of blending is closer to the world opposite, so it's hard to say what will happen.

In view of the danger of the blending place, if light can only open the crack, he will not try it easily. However, he can repair the crack now. If he sees that the situation is not right, he only needs to close it in time.

He first sat down to adjust his breathing, but only about ten minutes had passed when he suddenly felt that something outside seemed to have climbed onto the tent and was trying to find a gap to get in.

And at the same time, I felt that the entire land where I was located seemed to be flowing, as if it was being pushed forward by something.

His eyes were calm, his mind was steady, and he didn't care about these things. He just adjusted his breath. After a while, after adjusting his condition, he took the Xuejun sword over and put the scabbard aside.

After holding the handle of the knife for a moment, he made a slash in front of him. In an instant, a gap as long as an arm and glowing with light was revealed in front of him.

At this time, he felt a stream of air rush out from inside, and suddenly heard countless sharp whistling sounds in the tent, as if they were screaming right next to his ears.

And he saw that there seemed to be densely packed things like eyes on the opposite side of the crack, which were sticky and close to each other, turning and rolling from time to time.

The second self is also rapidly disappearing.

Chen Chuan stared at the opposite side. After cutting the cracks in the central city, most of what he could see on the opposite side was just a phantom, but in the blending place, these seemed to have a substantial form.

However, he found that after these things appeared, the strange movement outside disappeared without a trace, and he could no longer feel it at all.

He sat in front of the crack with a calm expression, with the Snow Lord Sword on his knees, looking at the things inside, and operating the method of absorbing the essence.

He doesn't need to know what is inside. As long as he tries to come from the opposite side, he will kill it immediately. If it cannot be blocked, he can close such a small gap in an instant.

After practicing for a while, he quickly discovered that the essence he absorbed from the rift was much more than what he had absorbed in the Central City, which was completely unmatched by ordinary times.

Moreover, the rift has existed for a very long time. Previously, when practicing at sea, the rift could last for about four hours. However, today, after four hours, the rift showed no sign of weakening.

But at the same time, those things on the opposite side also became eager to move and began to try to infiltrate towards him.
