Lu Chen glanced around, only to find that it was a bare land with no grass growing on it. The ground was full of broken soldiers, broken halberds and some skeletons. As far as the eye could see, they were almost innumerable.
It was desolate, the air of decay was blowing in the wind, and the yellow sand was endless.
There was nothing nearby, but Lu Chen felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
"Get out of here first."
Lu Chen felt that this place was weird from the bottom of his heart, so he decided to leave here first.
But when he looked around, he found that the red land was almost the same to the end, and there were countless barren hills.
The most bizarre thing is that there is no trace of his presence here.
What's going on?
"Ancestor, look quickly, where is the direction to go out?" Lu Chen asked hurriedly.
"Ancestor, I looked at it, but I haven't found a clue yet." Ancestor Lu Jie replied.
When Lu Chen heard this, he immediately grimaced, frowned and looked around, feeling a little dizzy.
Just when Lu Chen was thinking about how to leave, a large number of figures appeared outside the Tianyuan Mining Area, roughly divided into three parts;
Some of them were dressed in blood-colored clothes, and the leaders were Cao Rong and the third elder;
Some of them were dressed in uniform gold clothes, and leading the way were an old man and a young man. The old man wore a gold robe and his eyes were glowing with gold. The young man was young and handsome, with an arrogant face. He looked at Cao Rong with vague hostility.
However, when he looked at the beautiful, noble and tall woman opposite, he had a humble look on his face and said in a gentle tone: "Chao Ge, it's been a long time since I last saw you. How have you been during this time?
?”
He looked at Feng Chaoge, his admiration clearly evident.
"Jin Qiuzhong, I have said it many times, call me by my name." Feng Chaoge's expression was dull, with a feeling of being rejected from thousands of miles away, and he turned a blind eye to Jin Qiuzhong's love.
Elder Fengyuan, as well as Elder Da'er and Elder Lvmei stood beside her, and they were also kind to Jin Qiuzhong.
Cao Rong took this scene into his eyes, the mocking look in his eyes flashed away, he pursed his thin lips, and said sarcastically: "Jin Qiuzhong, Miss Feng Chaoge said so, don't ask for it.
It’s boring.”
"Cao Rong, what do you mean by this?" Jin Qiuzhong said with a cold face.
"It doesn't mean anything. I'm just telling you that you need to be self-aware." Cao Rong said with a smile on his face.
"Cao Rong, you are not much better than me." Jin Qiuzhong said sarcastically.
After hearing this, Cao Rong's face turned blue and white, and he said angrily: "Jin Qiuzhong, after all, my cultivation is better than yours, do you want to compete?"
His last words were clearly threatening.
"Come just come, am I still afraid of you?" Jin Qiuzhong said angrily.
Although he has not broken through to the Spirit Heaven Realm, he has cultivated to the late stage of the Xuantian Realm. He feels that he has some confidence to fight against Cao Rong, a guy who has just broken through to the Spirit Heaven Realm.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is unwilling to show his timid side in front of the woman he loves.
Cao Rong smiled when he heard this, showing an expression as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
"Okay, don't argue anymore."
But at this moment, Feng Chaoge suddenly spoke and said with a cold face: "If you want to make a noise, why don't you look at where this is? This is the Tianyuan Mining Area. If you want to die, don't drag everyone down."
"Miss Feng Chaoge is right, Jin Qiuzhong, I will let you go this time." Cao Rong sneered.
Jin Qiuzhong's face was extremely ugly. He stared at Cao Rong, full of anger, but when he looked at Feng Chaoge, his heart felt warm, because in his opinion, Feng Chaoge stopped him from fighting Cao Rong because he was worried about himself.
Defeated.
He gradually clenched his hands and swore in his heart that he would break through the early stage of the Spiritual Heaven Realm, compete with Cao Rong, and prove himself to Feng Chaoge.
"Ahem, everyone, let's take out the maps we prepared each in order to find the location of various materials in the shortest possible time." Seeing this, Fengyuan coughed slightly and said.
"Elder Fengyuan is right. Let's plan ahead first," said the third elder of the Blood Flag Sect.
"Elder Jinhe, give it to Chaoge." Jin Qiuzhong said to an old man beside him.
"No need, just give it to Elder Fengyuan." Feng Chaoge said coldly.
Jin He looked at Jin Qiuzhong, who glanced at Feng Chaoge and nodded helplessly.
"Thank you." Fengyuan said with a smile.
"It's okay, we three old guys just want to discuss it. After all, the Tianyuan Mining Area is not a good place, so we'd better be on the safe side." Jin He waved his hand and said.
"Yes." The third elder of the Blood Flag Sect also nodded.
Then, these three middle-level Tongtian Realm experts gathered together and each took out a map.
Painted on it is the map of the Tianyuan Mining Area.
Of course, this is only part of it, and it is limited to the outer area. After all, the interior of the Tianyuan Mining Area is too dangerous. Entering it can be said to be a narrow escape, so very few people have maps of the inner area.
But even these three maps only cover the areas outside the Tianyuan Mining Area that they know.
However, on it, the various materials hidden everywhere and the possible dangers are clearly marked.
After a while, they finally finished their discussion.
Then, he discussed with six other early-stage Tongtian Realm experts for a while to plan several routes, where to start and where to exit. After all, the Tianyuan Mining Area is so big that there is more than one exit.
Feng Chaoge, Jin Qiuzhong and Cao Rong waited patiently beside them without any impatience, because they were very aware of the dangers of this trip and did not dare to joke with their own lives.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the ground suddenly started to vibrate, rocks jumped, and several cracks appeared, as if an earthquake had occurred.
"Look, what is that?"
Jin Qiuzhong pointed to the Tianyuan Mining Area, his eyes widened and his face was full of shock.
When Feng Chaoge heard this, Cao Rong looked over quickly, also showing surprise.
Fengyuan, Jin He, the three elders of the Blood Flag Sect, and others looked around one after another, and saw that the sky above the Tianyuan Mining Area was full of spiritual light, like a vast ocean sweeping across, forming a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, and billowing runes spread out.
With that as the center, several surrounding barren mountains collapsed in an instant, and a large area of remnant soldiers had their halberds broken and bones falling down, showing an almost rotten atmosphere, which made people shudder.
After a while, the terrifying scene calmed down.
"Elder Fengyuan, did something happen inside the Tianyuan Mining Area?"
Feng Chaoge withdrew his gaze and hurriedly asked Feng Yuan beside him. After all, her vision and experience were not as good as this.
"The Tianyuan Mining Area has a long history. It has been excavated in ancient times. Miners and warriors have died in it in countless ways. It has become a forbidden area since the great changes in the world in ancient times, but it seems that nothing like this has ever happened.
Things." Fengyuan said.
"Elder Fengyuan, if this Tianyuan Mining Area can become a forbidden area, it must have its own special features, especially in the inner area. We know very little about what is inside," Jin He said.
"That's right. So, according to you two, should we go and take a look?" the third elder of the Blood Flag Sect asked tentatively.
"Go in?"
Fengyuan and Jinhe were both stunned when they heard this, looked at each other, and then looked into the depths of the Tianyuan mining area, showing hesitation.
On the other hand, Jin Qiuzhong and Cao Rong, who were next to them, showed interest.
"Isn't this too risky? In the past hundred years, more than three seniors in the late Tongtian realm have died inside." Feng Chaoge was also a little moved, but he frowned and said.
Fengyuan and Jinhe nodded slightly when they heard the words, and looked into the depths of the Tianyuan mining area, with little rays of light shining deep in their eyes.
"There is something happening in the Tianyuan mining area that has not happened in thousands of years. I think it can be investigated. However, what Feng Chaoge's niece said is right. There are many dangers in the depths of the mining area. If you are not careful, you may fall into it. But
It would be a pity to just give up like this, but it would be better to let the three of us old guys go for a walk. If there is something really dangerous, we should get back immediately." The third elder of the Blood Flag Sect touched his chin and said with gleaming eyes.
After hearing this, Fengyuan and Jin He finally felt moved.
The latter looked at Fengyuan and said: "Perhaps there is really some treasure inside? Elder Fengyuan, what do you think?"
"In that case, let's go take a look." Fengyuan nodded in agreement, and then said to Feng Chaoge, 'Miss, the three of us will go in and take a look. If there are no special circumstances, we will come out immediately.'
After saying this, he said to Elder Big Er and Elder Green Eyebrow: "You protect the young lady outside."
"yes."
The two elders of Big Er nodded hurriedly and said, "Elders, be careful when you go here."
"Yes." Elder Fengyuan nodded. Seeing that Jin He and the third elder of the Blood Flag Sect had made the explanation clear, he went with them to the depths of the Tianyuan Mining Area, wanting to see what happened inside?
"The two elders, Elder Fengyuan and the others have gone in. We can't stay here forever. So, let's search around the outermost area first to see if we can find the materials needed for this trip." Feng Chaoge suggested.
"The old two have no meaning, so what do you think the four of you think?" Elder Big Er said.
Although it is at the outermost edge of the Tianyuan Mining Area, the danger still exists, so it is best for the six early-stage Tongtian Realm experts to act together, so that the safety is higher.
"I have no objection."
The Blood Flag Sect communicated with the four elders of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce and agreed to this suggestion.
As for Jin Qiuzhong and Cao Rong, they naturally had no objections, but were rather interested.
The reason is simple. They have never set foot in the forbidden area. Until now, they have only heard about the dangers of the Tianyuan Mining Area from other people's mouths and have never experienced it personally.
Moreover, until now, they felt that the Tianyuan Mining Area was a bit strange, but it had nothing to do with the word "dangerous".
Therefore, they were all somewhat disapproving and felt that the elders were making a fuss out of a molehill.
Feng Chaoge was a smart woman and saw their contempt. She opened her mouth slightly, but then she thought about it and reminded them of their thoughts.
The other side of Tianyuan mining area.
Cheng Buqi and Li Tiangang's master and apprentice stood on a low barren mountain.
"Master, what happened just now?"
"I don't know, but something must have happened inside that we can't imagine."
Cheng Buqi looked deep into the Tianyuan Mining Area, the blue spot on his left face twitched slightly, his old eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong. This has never happened in the Tianyuan Mining Area."
"Master, could there be a treasure born?" Li Tiangang asked excitedly.
"It's possible, but the dangers inside are inevitable. In this case, you stay outside and go in for a look."
Cheng Buqi took a deep breath and said: "There are many treasures in the Tianyuan mining area, and ancient objects have appeared in the past. If an ancient treasure is born this time, I cannot miss it. After all, I only have the power to rely on it now."
I am unable to step into the realm of life and death, so I can only rely on external forces."
"Master, since you are going, you must be careful. If you encounter danger, come back immediately." Li Tiangang said.
"Don't worry, Master, although I'm old, I'm not that stupid. I don't know how to avoid danger." After hearing this, Cheng Buqi felt warm in his heart. After saying this, he patted Li Tiangang's shoulder and said:
After leaving the barren mountain, go to the inner area of Tianyuan Mining Area.
