Going out to search for supplies comes with great risks. Once you encounter a zombie clan, conflicts are bound to break out. Take this time, for example, a team of six people came out of the stronghold, and in the end only Yuan Xiang was left alive.
After talking about it, Lu Ye barely understood the current situation in Wushuang Continent.
The human race is in danger and struggling to survive. The zombie race is powerful and difficult to provoke.
"Tell me about your stronghold." Lu Ye said.
"The stronghold..." Yuan Xiang fell into memories, "Our stronghold is not big and there are not many people. There are only more than 200 people. The strongest among them is Senior Zuishan, and the stronghold is also controlled by him..."
Following Yuan Xiang's eloquent talk, Lu Ye and Ying Wuji also knew about the situation at the stronghold.
In the apocalypse, many people join groups to stay warm, so large and small strongholds are born. Some strongholds may only have a few or even a dozen people, some may have hundreds, but at most they will not exceed a thousand people.
That's why Yuan Xiang said that the place where Lu Ye and others stayed before was also a stronghold. Of course, the premise is that Lu Ye told the truth.
Moreover, due to various sudden crises, the location of the stronghold is not static. If the location of the stronghold is exposed and discovered by the corpse tribe, it needs to be moved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be annihilated.
Ying Wuji was puzzled: "Survival is so difficult, why don't you people in the stronghold join forces? Instead, disperse the parties?"
Lu Ye looked at him like an idiot.
Ying Wuji was a little angry: "What? What I said is wrong?"
Yuan Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "I have actually thought about this matter. I asked Uncle Yu before, and Uncle Yu said that although joining forces can increase strength, the target is correspondingly large and can easily be exposed. If this is the case, it will definitely happen.
It attracted a large number of zombie tribes to encircle and suppress them. If they are spread out like this, although they are more isolated, it will be easier to hide, and..."
She paused for a moment and then continued: "Uncle Yu said that in today's troubled times, people are unpredictable. Even if they are from the same human race, they will fight for good things in the wild, so no one can guarantee that others will
Just be of the same mind as yourself. Maybe there are like-minded people in some strongholds who will join forces, but it is completely impossible to connect all the strongholds in the entire Wushuang Continent."
Ying Wuji frowned and pondered, but did not refute.
Although he came to this Wushuang Continent, he was not a local monk after all, and had never experienced the beatings of life, so it was difficult for him to understand the complicated emotions of monks in this world.
I just feel that this world is more dangerous than all the secret realms I have experienced before.
But having said that, this can be seen from the lineup Tianji has equipped them with. They are all in the top six of the Cloud River Contest list, and there is also him, the sixteenth ghost cultivator, and a talented physique.
Repair and medical repair.
A total of nine people. If such a team can really cooperate sincerely, there will be no problem in sweeping the entire Yunhe battlefield.
With such a lineup, the troubles to be solved will definitely not be trivial.
"Then...what's going on in the secret realm?" Lu Ye asked.
After he rescued the man named Yu before, he seemed to have mistakenly thought that he came from some secret realm.
Lu Ye didn't ask carefully at that time, but now, of course, he had to get to know him better.
"The secret realm..." A look of yearning suddenly appeared in Yuan Xiang's eyes, "That is the holy land that all races long for! I heard that the people there live a completely different life from us. They are still the same as they were thousands of years ago.
If you can survive safely, you will have more resources for cultivation than you can use up."
When saying these words, Yuan Xiang's expression was like that of a poor child from a poor family, describing the luxury of wealthy businessmen.
After her explanation, Lu Ye finally understood what the word "secret realm" represented in Wushuang Continent.
There is actually no fundamental difference between the secret realm here and the secret realm he knows.
Strictly speaking, it is a small space independent of the local territory.
Many secret realms in Kyushu, whether it is the Xianyuan City that Lu Ye has experienced, or the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm, or the Soaring Dragon Realm, are all types of secret realms. These secret realms are vast inside, and they can rely on the general environment of Kyushu.
It exists independently and is not visible to the outside.
Wushuang Continent once had extremely prominent sects, and these sects naturally had their own secret realms. These secret realms were either used to herd spiritual beasts, cultivate spiritual plants and elixirs, or were used for disciples to hone themselves.
.
But after the heavenly change, even those major sects were wiped out. Although the mountain gate was destroyed, the secret realm was preserved, and some lucky disciples hid in it. As time passed, human races continued to come here to avoid the corpse tribe.
of pursuit.
At the beginning, the number of secret realms occupied by the human race in Wushuang Continent was still very large, but as time went by, secret realms were discovered and breached by the zombie tribe. Now, there are only three secret realms controlled by the human race.
They are the Secret Realm of Mount Xumi, the Secret Realm of Ziwei Dao Palace, and the Secret Realm of Silver Snake Valley.
Compared to the chaos and hardship outside, the secret realm can be said to be the last pure land in the Wushuang Continent, and it also preserves the most essential power of the human race in this realm.
The monks in the secret realm will often go out to hunt the corpse clan, but after so many years, there has not been much progress. This world is still firmly controlled by the corpse clan, such as the Wei Mo stronghold where Yuan Xiang is located.
All I can do is hide XZ.
That's why after seeing Lu Ye's sword that killed the zombie, the man named Yu mistakenly thought that he was from one of the three secret realms.
Because someone who can have such strength at such an age cannot be cultivated in a stronghold like theirs where it is difficult to even survive. Only those who are born in the secret realm can have such a foundation.
And after Lu Ye casually handed him a detoxifying pill of excellent quality, he became more and more certain of this conjecture. Unfortunately, Lu Ye did not admit it.
"The secret realms are so beautiful, why don't you go to those secret realms?" Ying Wuji couldn't help but ask, and even glanced at Lu Ye cautiously.
Fortunately, Lu Ye didn't look at him like an idiot this time.
"Who doesn't want to go?" Yuan Xiang smiled bitterly, "Nowadays, the human race living in Wushuang Continent all dreams of entering the secret realm, but who can go? Not to mention that there is no guide, even if you go, you can't find it.
Even if you find the door to the secret realm, you may not be able to get in, and you might even be killed."
Ying Wuji frowned: "Why is this?"
"In the beginning, there were a lot of secret realms under the control of the human race in Wushuang Continent. All the secret realms were open to the public. As long as the human race came to submit, they would accept it. But the secret realm was just a small world, and its capacity was limited. If there were many people living in it,
The resources will definitely not be able to keep up, so gradually, the secret realm no longer accepts outsiders. Especially I heard that there is a secret realm because people from different sects are fighting in it, trying to compete for control of the secret realm, and the result is a war.
Both sides were harmed, they were taken advantage of by the corpse clan, and were finally slaughtered. So it is extremely difficult to enter the secret realm now."
"Is there no other way to join the secret realm?" Lu Ye asked.
At the last moment when he was teleported from Kyushu, a message exploded in Lu Ye's heart. It was the mission assigned to him by Tianji.
Save the broken Wushuang Continent!
If you want to do it this time, you must borrow the power of the secret realm, so if you can join the secret realm, it will be easier to do things in the future.
Yuan Xiang seems to be a girl with no scheming ideas. Even when facing people like Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, who are new acquaintances, she always answers all questions. Lu Ye naturally wants to get more information from her.
"Of course there is." Yuan Xiang nodded, "This is also the only hope for the survival of the human race in various strongholds. It is said that every once in a while, the three major secret realms will have envoys to go out and look for suitable candidates to join the secret realm.
Three years ago, several people from our base were selected and taken away, but there is no way to proactively pursue this kind of thing. We can only wait passively, and even if we wait, we may not be selected."
Ying Wuji nodded when he heard the words: "It seems that the people in the three secret realms didn't do things too well and left a glimmer of hope for others."
"That's not necessarily what they want!" Lu Ye said thoughtfully.
Yuan Xiang glanced at Lu Ye in surprise: "Senior Zuishan said this before."
Zuishan...
He is the person in charge of Yuan Xiang's stronghold, and he should be the strongest. It seems that Yuan Xiang has high regard for him.
"Senior Zuishan, what do you say specifically?" Lu Ye asked.
Although he had some conjectures in his mind, they were still speculations in the final analysis.
"Senior Zuishan said that if the three major secret realms do not act in this way, many human races will definitely look for their portals every year. At that time, they may attract the attention of the corpse tribe, which will then bring some trouble to the three major secret realms and block them.
It is better to be sparse, so the three secret realms use this method to give all the remaining human races a glimmer of hope."
Lu Ye nodded slightly. It seemed that the man named Zuishan had the same idea as him.
But having said that, this cannot be said to be the fault of the three secret realms.
As Yuan Xiang said, the Secret Realm is only a small world after all. Even if it is independent from the Wushuang Continent, its capacity is always limited. There is no way to accept all races into it. Envoys are sent out to find some suitable candidates to bring back to the Secret Realm.
It is here to give hope to the remaining human race, so that they will not do something that will hurt both sides. Secondly, it can also strengthen the power of the secret realm. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Is there anything noteworthy about the Corpse Clan?"
Lu Ye roughly understands the situation on the human race, so the next thing he needs to know about is the corpse race.
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger!
"Zombie tribe... Nowadays, in Wushuang Continent, zombie tribes are everywhere. If it is worth noting, then it is the secret realm of Huntian Temple. It is also the place with the most corpse tribe. I heard that the first corpse tribe is the Golden Corpse King Corpse.
Sha was originally a disciple of the Huntian Temple, and he is now entrenched there."
Lu Ye's heart moved: "You mean, there is a secret realm over there at the Huntian Temple?"
