I always feel that the bloody desert outside the road seems to be alive, opening my eyes and looking at everyone.
Li Xiaofei felt that the blood-drinking sword was trembling slightly.
It's as if he can't wait to appear and drink blood.
This bloody desert is really weird and bizarre.
Even Li Xiaofei had bouts of heart palpitations.
His eyes were searching among the team.
I want to see clearly where Zhu Zhixun and others are hiding.
But nothing was found.
The good news is that the area of the Bloody Gobi is not large. At the speed of people walking on the road, it can be crossed in about ten days.
The reason why this strange place is considered to be dangerous level five is simply because the reapers have opened up 'safe roads'. Without these roads, the danger level of bloody Gobi would be enough to reach level seven.
Everyone is cautious.
Wei Xiaotian was silent all the way.
On the third day, the Tussaud family who was leading the way suddenly stopped.
"There is blood."
"A pool of blood blocked the road."
Someone came to report.
In front of the safe road, in a low-lying area, blood oozed from the road, forming a small pond and flooding the road.
The blood was gurgling, as if a spring was gushing out.
A pungent bloody smell hit his face.
Along with it, there is also a feeling of extreme danger.
Li Xiaofei's hair stood on end.
I just felt that there was some world-destroying ferocious beast hiding in the small pool of blood, and it could open its bloody mouth and devour him at any time.
The team stopped moving.
The eldest princess summoned the heads of the six royal families to discuss something.
Li Xiaofei stared at the blood puddle, and gradually felt dizzy from the sloshing blood.
The next moment, the surrounding scene changed drastically.
He looked around and found that he was on a sea of blood.
Underfoot is a piece of driftwood.
He just stepped on the driftwood and floated on the boundless ocean of blood.
There were heavy thunderclouds in the sky, and lightning flashed.
"Triggered the secret realm again?"
Li Xiaofei was a little surprised.
The probability of triggering the secret realm by yourself is a bit too high.
A series of fins more than ten meters long emerged from the bloody ocean surface, like bloody sharp blades, cutting through the water and surrounding Li Xiaofei.
Wow.
Blood splashed.
A water monster more than 20 meters long burst out from the bloody water and shot towards Li Xiaofei like an arrow from a string. It opened its bloody mouth in mid-air, and its mouth was filled with thousands of thin and dense blood-colored teeth like daggers, ferocious.
fear.
A bone knife appeared in Li Xiaofei's hand.
Raise your hand and wave your knife.
The water monster suddenly turned into thousands of pieces in mid-air and fell into the sea of blood.
Li Xiaofei's swordsmanship skills have long reached a level that is shocking to the world.
It's just that he is now playing the role of a high-level reaper, so he doesn't use many exquisite knife skills. He can just cut the water monster with speed and precision.
The next moment, the battle begins.
Countless water monsters shot out from the bloody water.
For Li Xiaofei, this scene was nothing at all.
He stood on the driftwood, with one hand behind his back and a knife in the other, and he drew the knife casually.
There is no water monster that can get within ten meters of him.
Even the water monster under the driftwood was easily dealt with by his sword energy.
Half an hour later.
He returned to the real world.
The immortal power in his body has increased a lot again.
He opened his eyes.
He found that the eldest princess was beside him and looked at him with concern.
"Are you OK?"
Seeing Li Xiaofei open his eyes, the eldest princess quickly asked, "Have you entered the secret realm again?"
Li Xiaofei nodded.
This time the secret realm is only about level five.
For him, there is no challenge.
But the reward is still power infusion.
After a little experience, Li Xiaofei can be sure that his cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Six God Realm, Great Perfection.
It’s time to hit the Seven Transformations.
When he turned around to look.
I found that Brother Chicken seemed to have entered a secret realm this time.
Brother Ji is completely in a state of trance and forgetting everything.
A faint gleam of blood flowed, forming a shield to protect him.
This seems to be the power of the secret realm, protecting him from attacks and harassment by foreign objects when he enters it.
Like Brother Chicken, there were forty-eight other people who entered the secret realm.
Among them is Xue Xiangyang.
And Lord Jin.
These two ‘concubines’ have been recognized by the secret realm.
Li Xiaofei was the first person to wake up after entering the secret realm.
Everyone else was still in 'sedation' at this time, surrounded by a bloody fluorescent shield, as if their souls had been pulled away.
"This time it's the secret realm of the soul."
The eldest princess explained, "There are many types of secret realms, including real body secret realms, spiritual secret realms, single-body secret realms, group secret realms, etc. Among them, the spiritual secret realm only extracts the soul consciousness of living creatures and enters it for experience. The power of the secret realm will protect the chosen one.
As long as the physical body successfully passes the secret realm trial, it can return to normal and receive rewards."
She was very curious about what reward Li Xiaofei got this time.
Li Xiaofei informed.
"It's actually a strength reward again?"
The eldest princess exclaimed happily, "You are indeed the chosen one. You have been favored and recognized by the Holy Ruins. This trip to the Holy Ruins will definitely make all your dreams come true."
Do all your wishes come true?
Li Xiaofei thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to lend you some kind words."
While he was talking, there was a scream nearby.
But he saw a strong man from the Yeniao family who had entered the secret realm. Suddenly, blood began to flow from his mouth, nose, and eyes. The blood-colored shield lingering on his body disappeared. He suddenly stood up and rushed out as if he was crazy.
"Stop him quickly."
Zhou Shisan was shocked.
But it's too late.
The man rushed out of the safe road area, crossed the bone mark on the roadside, and rushed into the bloody Gobi Desert.
The next moment, something terrible happened.
This powerful man from the Leaf Bird Tribe, who had a high degree of humanization, suddenly sprouted countless dense red hairs all over his body and turned into a red-haired gorilla.
A shrill scream came from his mouth.
Then the human skin on his body shattered and cracked.
A beast-like body emerged from under the human skin and transformed into a giant red-haired owl.
Even so, his screams still did not stop.
In the end, the huge body turned into a group of red 'tumbleweed'-like plants, with tens of meters of red hair rolling in the wind. The original body seemed to be squeezed dry and turned into powder and disappeared.
The whole process seems to be very long, but it is over in only a few breaths.
Everyone looked horrified.
This way of death is really horrible.
The shrill scream seemed to still be echoing in the bloody Gobi Desert.
Li Xiaofei noticed that the strange long red hairs that were tangled together were finally blown apart by the strong wind and incredibly decomposed, and then all melted into the red soil like snow melting into the earth.
After that, screams kept coming from the team.
Those who died in the secret realm also lost their lives in the real world.
Most died on the spot.
There are also some who engage in the final fight against trapped beasts.
Among them, a sixth-level strongman from the Yeniao family was bleeding all over his body after opening his eyes, but he was already in a state of confusion and soared into the sky, trying to escape.
As a result, the law of chaos in the void was triggered, and it was instantly crushed into a ball of blood mist.
Li Xiaofei was also frightened when he saw it.
There are indeed more dangers in the sky than on the earth.
time flies.
After about half a day, all the secret realms ended.
This time, perhaps because the people selected in the secret realm were all good, the survival rate actually reached 49.
Almost half of the people survived to the end.
Also received secret realm rewards.
Jin Ye and Xue Xiangyang are the lucky ones.
Mr. Jin got a coiled dragon ring. It was dark in color, exquisite in workmanship, and lifelike in the shape of a dragon. It looked quite impressive.
And what Xue Xiangyang got this time was still a drop of ‘blood of evolution’.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the two of them handed over all their gains to their respective masters without hesitation.
Some other reaper warriors have similar incomes.
Li Xiaofei glanced at it.
It was discovered that three of the Reaper warriors had entered the secret realm for the second time.
He remembered the faces and identities of these three people.
Brother Ji was the last one to complete the secret realm.
After he came out, he looked constipated.
Wei Xiaotian came over and said, "Tell me, what did you get?"
Brother Ji gritted his teeth and said nothing.
It seems like a not-so-good experience.
And with the complete end of the advent of the secret realm, the blood and water in the depressions blocking the road ahead also completely disappeared.
Everyone continued on their way.
After that, there was no more secret realm coming to the entire Bloody Gobi.
Everyone passed through this area smoothly.
Then successfully entered the frost plain.
This is a wasteland of ice and snow.
The temperature is extremely low, comparable to absolute zero.
And there are blizzards and thunder and lightning coming at any time.
The powerful Reapers who frequently destroy planets in the galaxy world and teleport thousands of miles instantly are extremely vulnerable in such an environment. .??.
The frost plain is rated as a dangerous level 6 holy ruins area.
At this point, the warriors below the sixth level in the six major racial escort teams can no longer move forward.
They are not strong enough and forcing themselves into the frost plains will lead to death.
Therefore, after some reorganization, each major family selected a temporary leader and took these warriors below the sixth level back to the original route.
Only strong men of level six and above can follow the eldest princess and move forward.
The destination of the eldest princess and her party is the glacier cave in the eighth level difficulty area.
Where is the most suitable secret realm for the Huiyao clan to improve their bloodline?
This road is quite dangerous.
That's why guards are needed.
After the reorganization, the total number of people in the team dropped to one hundred and twenty.
All of them are strong men of level six and above.
Among them were Lao Xinhua, the elder of the Dusha clan, and the manager elder of the Port family.
These two people overcame everyone's opinions and kept all their "concubines".
Entering the frosty plain, Li Xiaofei felt the impact of the sudden drop in temperature on his body.
He found that in such an extremely cold area, he was just like an ordinary person. The extreme low temperature soon made him feel the pain of cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Of course, he acted.
After all, he was only playing a sixth-level reaper at this time.
If you look calm in such an environment, you will be suspected by some thoughtful people.
Sudden--
A white fur cloak was draped on Li Xiaofei.
Next to her, the innocent and pretty face of the eldest princess showed concern without hesitation, saying, "Keep warm, the frostbite here will not heal easily. If your hands and feet are frozen, they will never grow back."
Li Xiaofei did not refuse the eldest princess's kindness and put the white cloak on himself.
This white cloak must be a treasure.
When you put it on your body, you immediately feel a warm current flowing in.
The cold wind and flying snow around me are no longer so unbearable.
Seeing this scene, Brother Ji, who was also shivering with cold, gritted his teeth.
Oh shit.
Pretty boys are so popular.
Why was it that when I arrived in the world of reapers, I was still laughed at by the sour smell of the human world?
These idiot reapers have become possessed by human beings.
The one who was even more angry was Zhou Thirteen.
He felt that he was sincere to the eldest princess and would not hesitate to risk entering such a dangerous place for him. Who would have expected that he would be completely ignored and the eldest princess would flirt with a down-and-out nobleman in front of him.
Damn it.
Zhou Shisan looked at the dim sky and astonishing flying snow in front of him, and couldn't help but have a ruthless look in his eyes, and made up his mind.
Everyone walked for ten hours on the ice field in the dark night with heavy snowfall.
Then I saw an ice and snow fortress standing on the hill.
This is the camp established by the Reapers.
"arrive."
The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is Fortress No. 38. We will rest here for a day and a night, replenish supplies, and then move on."
The danger level of frost fields is too high.
The extreme cold bothers everyone.
Therefore, even geniuses like the eldest princess, as well as powerful people such as the elders of other major families, do not dare to move forward in the ice and snow for a long time.
Otherwise, there is a risk of freezing to death and frostbite.
Everyone came to the fortress.
After strict inspection, the door was opened.
"It turns out to be the eldest princess of the Huiyao tribe, please come in."
The controller of the fortress is an elder of the Fengxu tribe. He has a peak level of cultivation at the seventh level and has a respected status. However, he came to the gate in person to greet the eldest princess, giving him enough face.
Everyone was arranged to enter the fort to take shelter from the wind.
This fortress was built on this hill. The construction materials are black blood rocks from the ice sheet thousands of meters deep in the ice field, which can withstand ice, snow, wind, frost and cold air.
Everyone was accommodated.
The accommodation conditions are certainly not good.
Li Xiaofei was assigned to a stone room in the outer fort area, which didn't even have a bed.
Fortunately it's a single room.
And the temperature barely reached minus fifty degrees.
This temperature no longer poses any threat to practitioners.
Masters from other major royal families also receive similar treatment.
Only the Leaf Bird family and the eldest princess and their party were invited to enter the inner castle with better conditions.
that night
, the Fengxu tribe held a banquet.
In addition to the eldest princess and her entourage, important figures such as Zhou Shisan from the Leaf Bird family and Lao Xinhua from the Tussaud family were also invited.
As for Wei Xiaotian, who is a remote 'vassal king', it is obvious that he has not been noticed by the Fengxu Clan defenders and is not included in the invitation.
Wei Xiaotian cursed at this, saying something like "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people who are poor", "Today you ignore me and tomorrow I will make you unable to reach high" and other secondary words, and then
I took Brother Ji to have a drink.
Li Xiaofei stayed alone in his room to practice.
During this period, the eldest princess sent someone to invite Li Xiaofei to a banquet.
Li Xiaofei declined the invitation on the grounds that he had gained strength through practicing and adapting to the secret realm.
The frost plain is always shrouded in darkness.
Li Xiaofei used the light to start reading the relevant information sent by the eldest princess again. The description of Shuangyuan Chapter was quite detailed.
It is recorded in the data that for so many years, the reapers have been under the rule of the twin ancestors, and all major clans have been frantically exploring the holy ruins at all costs.
The Ancestral Court's emphasis on the Holy Ruins is no less important than its war with humans.
And within the holy ruins, many camps and fortresses were built.
Low-risk areas such as Huangliang Desert, Pure Water Swamp and Bloodstream Gobi have already been explored, and are not very dangerous to high-level reapers, so no outposts have been established.
But when you reach a high-risk area like the frost plains, you can no longer be careless.
The Reapers spent a lot of financial and material resources to build outposts and fortresses here for communication and temporary refuge.
Those who are qualified to be stationed in these fortresses are the special armies of major princely families.
Here they fight with the ruin beasts and obtain various evolutionary resources.
This is also one of the privileges of a princely family.
With danger comes great benefit.
The evolutionary resources obtained from here can be used to gain huge profits when brought to the Ancestral Galaxy, and can also be used as a basis for family evolution.
Therefore, ordinary royal families, even if they have strong men of the sixth, seventh or even eighth level, cannot obtain such a piece of land to build an outpost in a high-level dangerous area, nor can they get the right to garrison the outpost.
For example, the Death Eye clan.
After Wei Xiaotianjiu occupied the Magpie Nest, he pushed the prestige of the Eye of Death clan to a new height, and received awards from the ancestral court, making him a newly rising star.
But let alone being stationed in the territory within the Holy Ruins, the elders of the Fengxu clan who had the right to station themselves looked down on Wei Xiaotian, the clan leader with the eyes of death, and did not even let him enter the inner castle.
In Li Xiaofei's view, this Fengxu tribe elder really doesn't know how to behave, and he probably won't last long.
But none of this has anything to do with him.
The reason why he refused the eldest princess's invitation was actually because he was waiting for someone.
The long night.
It was windy and snowy.
Li Xiaofei waited patiently.
Two hours passed.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door.
Li Xiaofei opened the door.
A familiar face appeared outside the door.
It is Xue Xiangyang, the "people's pet" whom the elders of the Dusha tribe have worked so hard for.
Li Xiaofei didn't ask any more questions and let him in.
"So you are that senior."
Xue Xiangyang saluted Li Xiaofei, his eyes full of excitement.
I saw his figure suddenly squirming and twisting, and then a faint light flashed, and the appearance and physical characteristics of his whole person completely changed into another person.
Zhu Zhixun!
Xue Xiangyang is none other than Zhu Zhixun.
"What a wonderful art of transformation."
When Li Xiaofei saw this, he couldn't help but admire him.
Zhu Zhixun said, "This is one of the techniques taught by the Sword Immortal to the rebels. It is called the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique. It is good at changing and has the ability to deceive the world. It is also through this technique that we are able to lurk in the world of reapers.
"
The more time he spent with Li Xiaofei, the more trust he gained and the more information he revealed.
"How many people did we come in this time?"
Li Xiaofei asked curiously.
Zhu Zhixun said, "Including you, senior, there are seven people in total."
Seven people?
The number is also quite large.
They are probably the last elite of the resistance organization.
Li Xiaofei had a clear understanding in his heart.
These people indeed came to the Holy Ruins with a death wish.
He thought of another thing and couldn't help but ask, "How many of these seven people were selected by the secret realm and were able to enter it to hunt for opportunities?"
Zhu Zhixun said, "Everyone has entered the secret realm, and there were no casualties. They all successfully passed the secret realm assessment and received rewards."
