Jiang Kai had studied in Qingyun Sect for a period of time before, and he knew all four of his fellow students quite well.
Sun Yuan, Liu Xuefei, and Wang Zhong, after branching into the extraordinary branch, advanced from national warriors to true warriors.
Currently, the more powerful extraordinary warrior professions in China are divided into three types: real martial arts, super martial arts, and black martial arts.
Zhenwu focuses on true energy, Chaowu focuses on attributes, and Heiwu is famous for its special methods. Among the three branches, Zhenwu is the best path. Heiwu can be strong or weak based on special means, and the strong one is stronger than Chaowu. The weak are not as good as Chaowu.
In addition, there are other branches of warriors, most of which are classified as "wasted martial arts" and basically cannot even enter the Temple of War.
Ye Qingwu is one of the few doctors who has reached level five.
The number of extraordinary physicians is very small, and their overall number is even rarer than that of extraordinary warriors. Currently, the two main paths are holy healers and herbalists. The former focuses on combat treatment, while the latter is good at medicine.
Ye Qingwu is a holy healer.
Judging from the professions of these four people, Zhou Chu's helpers for Jiang Kai were all carefully selected.
"Han Yi, what is your relationship with the leader?" Sun Yuan followed Jiang Kai, "The leader was extremely cruel to us, but he obeyed your words... Hey, I heard that the leader owed a lot of romance when he was young. Debt, are you the sect leader’s… illegitimate son?!”
The other three people listened with rapt attention, and their eyes seemed as if they had discovered a new world.
Jiang Kai looked at these four guys and shook his head, "Can you stop being so gossipy? The burden of the Qingyun Sect's rise rests on your shoulders!"
"Is that true? Tell me, we won't tell anyone!" Ye Qingwu shook Jiang Kai's arm and begged.
Jiang Kai said with a dark face, "No! You are also the God of War after all. Let me see, you are all members of the Twelve Sacred Beasts Group of the Chinese War Temple. Can you pay attention to your image?"
Sun Yuan and the others didn't take Jiang Kai's words into account at all, and the four of them muttered again, why on earth did the leader pay so much attention to "Junior Brother Han Yi" recently.
After research, everyone came to a conclusion.
Firstly, Han Yi has been seriously ill for many years, and the master feels sorry for his junior brother. Secondly, Han Yi is the hope of Qingyun Sect by bringing out the power of Jiuxiao Immortal Sword. Thirdly, after Han Yi was rejected by Chang Siyao, the master is also worried. He can't get out.
Jiang Kai listened on the sidelines, and he seemed to have found the reason why Qingyun Sect has been weak...
In order to change the topic, Jiang Kai took the initiative to ask, "How far have you explored the unknown area before?"
"It must be at least sixty kilometers away." Sun Yuan said, "People from Qingyun Sect must reach the level of unparalleled wanderer before they are allowed to return to the sect to receive job transfer materials."
"So exaggerated?"
"This is pretty good. Other sects have requirements that they must reach 80 kilometers." Wang Zhong said.
Jiang Kai nodded, no wonder these people seemed so laid-back, it turned out that they had undergone strict training before.
"Han Yi, where are we going this time? What mission are we going to perform?" Liu Xuefei asked.
"It's more dangerous to go to an area 110 kilometers away."
"So far?" Sun Yuan frowned, "Beyond a hundred kilometers, in addition to powerful beasts, the probability of encountering strange professionals will increase. In addition, you may also encounter fanatics. No wonder the leader asked us to go together."
"Fanatic?" Jiang Kai looked at Sun Yuan in confusion.
Sun Yuan nodded, "You probably don't know very well, but fanatics are a group of people in reality who worship the beast god."
"Worship the beast god?" Jiang Kai was even more shocked, "How distorted is this value?"
Liu Xuefei said calmly, "It's normal. The Beast God has appeared for so many years. Not only has it not been eliminated, it has become more and more powerful. Some people think that this is nature's punishment for humans, and the Beast God is the god who carries out the punishment. Since it is a god
, there will be believers.”
Wang Zhong also said, "In the past peaceful times, there were still cults worshiping evil gods..."
Jiang Kai asked, "Are all fanatics professionals in the weird profession?"
"No, there are extraordinary and weird professionals. In short, if you are more than a hundred kilometers away, you must be careful of all outsiders!" Wang Zhong reminded Jiang Kai solemnly.
Jiang Kai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He used to be a frog in the well. There were too many things he didn't know.
Thinking of this, Jiang Kai became playful and asked, "Among the ancient martial arts forces, are there any evil ways?"
Sun Yuan immediately said matter-of-factly, "Of course there is. Where there is good there is evil. In the past, they were on the verge of extinction just like us, but the rise of the Ghost Star gave us a chance, but it also gave them a chance to revive."
"Hiss..." Jiang Kai took a breath of cold air. He just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect that he actually got it right.
I still remember that Lao Wei once said to himself, how could there be only a few guilds and a few forces as simple as the military in the last days of Ghost Star.
During the development of Ghost Star, Jiang Kai had only heard of the name of one marshal, Dong Shuai, and he was still a Shenlong.
China cannot have only one marshal. The other marshals must have other important matters to deal with.
Whether it is a ghost star or the earth, it is not just as simple as humans exploring ghost stars.
There are undercurrents surging everywhere, and the process of light and dark games between various forces!
With that said, Jiang Kai suddenly understood why Zhu Zhu and Nuan Nuan went on a special mission and didn't come back for more than half a year!
There are still too many things that I don’t understand...
Sun Yuan and others provided map sharing. In order to rush for time, they tried to choose relatively safe routes.
The team is all God of War level warriors with good strength. Unless they encounter a boss that is Lord level or above, they can quickly resolve the battle when encountering wild beasts. After five days of long journey, the team arrived near the designated location.
Jiang Kai carefully checked his surroundings.
Just in front of them, there was a huge lake, with no edge visible at a glance. The lake was quiet, the breeze was blowing, and the lake surface rippled slightly, making the entire lake surface look very calm.
Deep in the lake, a burst of white mist appeared on the surface of the lake.
Strangely enough, even though they had been very vigilant before, they would always encounter some wild beasts from time to time, but they just avoided the high-level beasts.
But since they approached the lake today, they walked for several miles without encountering any wild beast.
"It's strange. It stands to reason that there are often boss-level beasts living around such large water sources." Sun Yuan also looked around warily, "But it's surprisingly quiet here!"
"Han Yi, where are we going?" Liu Xuefei lowered his voice and said, "Even though it's so quiet here, I always have an ominous premonition."
Jiang Kai said lightly, "There is an island in the deepest part of the lake."
A trace of despair flashed in Ye Qingwu's eyes, "No, I always thought there was something weird about this lake, but in the end I had to go deep into it."
"Stop complaining." Wang Zhong said, "If there was no danger, the boss wouldn't let us help Han Yi."
The five of them walked together towards the lakeside.
Jiang Kai said, "I also think this lake is a bit weird. There isn't a single wild beast around. It's so abnormal!"
"Don't go into the water unless you have to! Let's build a wooden boat and paddle across."
The five people immediately divided their labor and collaborated to chop down trees, cut planks, and build wooden boats.
After the completion, five people boarded the boat. Sun Yuan and Liu Xuefei rowed, Jiang Kai was on guard at the bow and led the way, Wang Zhong was at the stern, and Ye Qingwu was in the middle.
The oars slowly moved the lake surface, and the boat slowly sailed toward the depths of the fog on the quiet lake.
……………………
After Jiang Kai's team left, a dozen figures walked out of the woods not far away.
"They left." A masked man said in a deep voice.
Standing in front of the masked man was a man wearing a mask. He nodded and said, "This lake is a bit strange. I feel like there is something powerful hidden in it."
"No matter how much it is, if Han Yi thinks that our Dongfang family's things are so easy to get, then he must pay the price."
"Let's follow them for now and see what they are doing!"
"Yes, this guy has so many sky crystals on his body, there must be something wrong. If there is any secret hidden here, let's let Han Yi feel what it means to lose his wife and then lose his troops! Let's build the ship first, and follow them quickly.
!”
……………………
Jiang Kai's team has been driving on the lake for almost half an hour. The surrounding fog is getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility is getting worse and worse.
Several people's attention was focused on the lake. It wasn't until the bow of the boat hit something and the boat vibrated that they realized that the boat had reached the shore.
At this moment, the long-lost voice of the Ghost Star System sounded in the ears of the five people.
[You have entered the Corruption Island. In this island, you will suffer the effect of life erosion, which cannot be purified. ]
[Any activity will increase the speed of life corrosion. Reducing the amount of activity can reduce the speed of life corrosion. 】
As soon as the five people heard the system sound, their hearts suddenly sank, and a strange feeling spread throughout their bodies!
It feels like someone is sucking away their life force!
As time goes by, they feel more and more tired and unable to lift their strength. The skin on their bodies is itchy and they can't help but want to scratch it.
Sun Yuan's foot that originally stepped out forcefully took it back.
Any activity will increase the rate of life corrosion! Even walking will!
Jiang Kai was about to put on the Regeneration Armor when suddenly, some loud rumbling sounds were heard from the forest in the distance.
"Uh ah... uh ah..." Some weird voices came, and huge, incomplete figures pushed aside the huge trees and appeared on the surrounding shore!
These beasts are almost all Lord-level or above, of various species, their huge bodies are mutilated to varying degrees, and their flesh and blood are blurred. Their eyes are dull and they roar lowly.
"They are all Lord level or above! There is also a damn life erosion effect!" Sun Yuan's eyes widened, "Jiang Kai, it's still too late to leave here!"
Jiang Kai frowned and looked at Sun Yuan and the others.
They don't have the Armor of Regeneration, so it's already very difficult to deal with the corrosion of life. It's really too dangerous to face so many weird beasts.
Although Liu Shen suggested that Jiang Kai bring helpers, judging from the current situation, Sun Yuan and the others had already died before they reached the ruins of the God of Life.
"I have to go in!" Jiang Kai looked at the four of them, "Brothers and sisters, I never thought this place would be so dangerous. You don't need to take risks with me. You can go back first."
Jiang Kai was about to walk forward, but Sun Yuan held his shoulder down.
"You brat, what are you talking about? I said let's go together, but I didn't say I'd leave you alone!"
Wang Zhong also said, "The leader has an order and must protect you. There are many monsters here and the environment is weird. You have some chance of winning if you force yourself in alone."
"Han Yi, are you sure you want to break in?" Ye Qingwu looked at Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai nodded without hesitation.
Ye Qingwu narrowed her eyes slightly, "Okay, then let's go together!"
"But you can't resist the invasion of life!" Jiang Kai frowned.
Liu Xuefei smiled slightly, "If you can't resist, you can't resist. Anyway, this thing won't kill us for a while. Han Yi, don't waste your time. The longer you delay, the more effective the erosion of life will be!"
Although Jiang Kai was worried, this was not the time for mother-in-law and mother-in-law. He could only hope that the five of them would break out of the current area as soon as possible and enter the ruins of the God of Life together!
"Follow me!" Jiang Kai put on the armor of regeneration and held a life-chasing weapon in his hand.
In front of Sun Yuan and the others, Jiang Kai no longer cared about revealing his true identity, or he wanted them to recognize him more, so he used a more convenient way to chase his life.
When rushing towards the beast herd, Jiang Kai discovered that the Regeneration Armor had entered a self-repairing state.
The armor of regeneration is already resisting the erosion of life.
Fortunately, the Armor of Regeneration helped Jiang Kai resist the erosion of life, and Jiang Kai has not been affected yet.
But Sun Yuan and the others were in a bad situation.
The armor of the four people has been severely damaged, and their bodies have gone from itching locally to now showing large areas of rot...
Jiang Kai was secretly shocked, could it be that those beasts also became like this after being eroded by life?
If life is eroded to a certain extent, it will not cause death, but the result will be worse. It can turn people into walking zombies...
The only chance now is to take them into the ruins of the God of Life as soon as possible! In the ruins of the God of Life, they may not be affected by the erosion of life.
"Quenching Fire Chasing Life!" Jiang Kai shot Chasing Life, attacking the beast in front of him.
However, the surrounding beasts became very strange. No matter how much damage Jiang Kai's attack caused, they did not even grunt. Regardless of their injuries, they just rushed towards Jiang Kai and the others with all their strength.
"Damn it, Life Corrosion can't be violent, but there are so many wild beasts here. It's clear that they want to force the intruders to be controlled by Life Corrosion!" Jiang Kai quickly shuttled between the beasts.
"Senior brother, senior sister, don't do anything, just follow me!"
Sun Yuan's body was severely decomposed. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "This erosion of life is so strong! Han Yi, we are here to protect you, not to hold you back. Leave us alone and leave quickly!"
Just as Sun Yuan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned gray...
"Life is revived!" Ye Qingwu suddenly activated his skill, and Sun Yuan's whole body was enveloped in a ball of green light, and then his eyes turned gray and returned to their original appearance.
"Everyone, don't give up. As long as you break out of the range of life erosion, as long as you don't die, I can help you all recover!" Ye Qingwu breathed heavily.
Her own condition was also very bad. It was probably because her mental strength was relatively high that she persisted for a longer period of time.
A large number of wild beasts rushed towards Jiang Kai and the five of them, and Jiang Kai shot out a life-seeking shot from his hand!
Even so, his killing speed is still difficult to break through.
"God's Order of Light! Eject!" Jiang Kai waved a God's Order to assist in the attack.
Time is getting tighter and tighter. If they can't rush out again, Sun Yuan and the others may not be able to hold on.
The armor of regeneration was damaged at a visible speed. Due to Jiang Kai's violent activities, the repair speed of the armor of regeneration was no longer able to completely resist the effects of life erosion.
Ejections and life-seeking attacks are not enough to open a gap. The main reason is that these attacks are single-target attacks. Ejections can attack multiple targets, but they also need to attack one by one.
Wang Zhong's arm was nothing but white bones. Ye Qingwu had just used a skill on him to save him from losing consciousness.
But after Ye Qingwu used the skill for the second time, her eye color turned gray-white.
"Not good!" Jiang Kai's eyes narrowed. Ye Qingwu, the holy healer, is the key to the team's escape...
Thinking of this, Jiang Kai took off his regeneration armor and let the armor protect Ye Qingwu.
After taking off his armor, Jiang Kai immediately felt the corrosive effect of life erosion.
Seeing a large number of wild beasts coming one after another, Jiang Kai gritted his teeth and shouted, "Quenching Haotian Demon-Slaying Sword!"
"Get out of my way!"
[Author's digression]: I took the train all day today. The update is relatively late. It will be normal in the future.
