Chapter 464: The first entry into the secret realm
The moment he passed through the space gate, Shi Mu felt a flash of purple light in front of his eyes, and he was temporarily blinded, but his vision was restored immediately.
What lay before his eyes was a vast expanse of green grassland.
Green weeds almost as high as a person's shoulders spread to the end of Shi Mu's field of vision, swaying gently in the breeze, like a rippling blue ocean.
Near the area where he was, there were hundreds of young people of various races standing scattered in different heights, with wary looks on their faces.
Among these people, the tallest person was more than two feet tall, and the weeds were not even as high as his knees.
After Shi Mu looked around, he was a little surprised. He found that the people who entered the secret realm with him at that time were not with him at the moment.
Obviously, when entering the gate of the secret realm, all candidates were randomly teleported to different areas in the secret realm.
As early as half a month ago, Shi Mu had already obtained relevant information about this secret realm trial through various channels.
Since every competition in the past million years has been held in the same secret realm, and the internal situation is not considered secret, he collected a lot of information without spending too much effort.
This secret realm of water, sky, and green mountains is a world of its own, with an extremely vast area. The news spread outside is basically only about the outer areas. As for what is going on in the depths of the secret realm, most people don't know.
But what is certain is that the closer to the central area in the secret realm, the more powerful the monsters that inhabit, and the greater the risk factor.
The area outside the secret realm is roughly divided into ten places, collectively called "Ten Directions Heaven and Earth".
The area of these ten directions is extremely vast, but the topography is different. Some are deserts with thousands of miles of yellow sand, some are stone forests covered with rocks, and some are swamps that stretch for thousands of miles... But Shi Mu and the others
Where it is located is a primitive grassland.
The monsters in Shifang Tiandi are mainly at the innate level. There are few earth levels. The highest level is only at the early stage of the earth level. This is relatively safe for the disciples of all races who enter it.
As Shi Mu looked around, there were still spatial fluctuations happening one after another. Every time, one person would be teleported here, but as time went by, the frequency became lower and lower.
After half a stick of incense, there was finally no more spatial fluctuations in this area.
During this period, people were leaving one after another. Although everyone was wary of each other, there was no conflict.
Shi Mu knew in his heart that this was because he had just entered the secret realm and everyone's tokens had zero points. Naturally, no one would engage in a meaningless fight at this time. It would be a waste of time.
Now within the scope of Shi Mu's sight, there are about two hundred people. Some are observing the environment like Shi Mu, some are sitting cross-legged carelessly, and others seem to have found acquaintances.
People, or members of the same clan, chatted and communicated with each other, then left in groups.
After observation, Shi Mu discovered that almost all of these people were demons, and including him, there were only three humans.
One of the human youths is located a hundred feet away to the northeast of Shi Mu. He has straight facial features and a peaceful face. He has a bun on his head and two strands of hair hanging on his chest. He is wearing a moon-white robe. He walks slowly and looks calm.
, looking very elegant and calm.
What worried Shi Mu was that the elegant young man's aura didn't show at all, and with his spiritual consciousness, he couldn't see through that person's level of cultivation.
Just as he was thinking about it, the man suddenly turned around and left straight into the depths of the grassland.
Shi Mu looked at the man's leaving figure and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Brother, are you also from Turin?" At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Shi Mu turned around in surprise and saw an eight or nine-year-old human girl standing in front of him.
The girl had short purple hair, which was styled into two braids that stood straight up into the sky.
Her complexion is very fair, but there is not much blood on her cheeks, which makes her look a little pale. She is wearing an emerald-colored short jacket. Her whole person looks very smart, making people feel affectionate at the first sight.
Shi Mu looked at the little girl and couldn't help but be a little surprised. At such a young age, this girl had already reached the early stage of the Earth Level.
"No, I'm not from Turin." Shi Mu responded with a smile.
"My name is Zi Ling, from the Turin planet, and I am from the human race." The little girl introduced herself.
"Shi Mu, from Blue Starfish." Shi Mu said.
"It turns out to be Brother Shi, nice to meet you!" the little girl shouted with a sweet smile.
"Zi Ling, how old are you and why do you come here at such a young age..." Shi Mu couldn't help but ask.
"I came here on my own, and I must join the Qinglan Holy Land!" Before Shi Mu could finish speaking, Zi Ling said seriously with a small face.
"I see." Shi Mu nodded and said nothing more.
"Is this the first time Brother Shi has come to the secret realm?" Zi Ling asked again.
"That's right." Shi Mu was slightly startled, then nodded.
"Brother Shi, don't look at my young age, but I know a lot about this place!" Zi Ling said with a smile.
"Oh, how much do you know about the monsters here?" Shi Mu asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Well, I heard that the monsters here look very different from our Turin planet. The biggest difference is that the monsters here can condense monster cores." Zi Ling said.
"I wonder what this demon core is?" Shi Mu asked.
"It is said that this demon core is actually the essence of a demon beast's cultivation. Generally, it can only be found by those who are innate or above. Many demon cores can be used to refine elixirs and make talismans, and even some high-level demon cores can be used.
Let’s refine some spiritual weapons and magic weapons!” Zi Ling said.
"How can the demon core be so useful? Wouldn't it be a big loss for Qinglan Holy Land to allow so many disciples to enter the secret realm every ten years and kill the demonic beasts they have worked so hard to raise?" Shi Mu was a little puzzled.
"Qinglan Holy Land is very smart! The Qingshan Token they gave us is a special storage device. All the demon cores we kill here will be automatically sucked into it. In addition to seeing its display, we can
Except for the points, it cannot be taken out at all. All the Qingshan Orders will eventually be recycled, so all the demon cores obtained here belong to Qinglan Holy Land." Zi Ling said with a smile.
"I wonder why Qinglan Holy Land is always so generous and lets so many disciples in! They all come to work for Qinglan Holy Land for free!" Shi Mu was speechless.
"That's not necessarily the case! Not to mention the countless benefits of being able to join the Qinglan Holy Land, there are many treasures of heaven and earth that are rarely seen in the outside world in this secret realm. In addition, there are some people who enter here and bring them with them
They have some other purposes, such as being a dealer who specializes in selling points." Zi Ling said.
"I see, what's the difference in the corresponding demon core points for demon beasts with different cultivation levels?" Shi Mu nodded thoughtfully and asked again.
"Well...specifically, demon cores at the innate level have the lowest points, which are ten and five points, which is not worth mentioning. And if it is an earth-level demon core, the points will be increased by a large proportion, of which the initial level of the earth level is one hundred.
Points, the middle stage of the earth level is one thousand points, and the late stage of the earth level is 10,000 points. If you can obtain a higher level of heaven demon core, you can get at least 100,000 points at one time. However, it is said that the disciples who have always entered the secret realm,
It is too rare to be able to kill a celestial demon beast beyond the level. In the end, the candidates will most likely have to rely on the hunting performance of the earth level demon core to determine the winner." Zi Ling tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying this.
.
"I didn't expect that Miss Ziling knew so many things at such a young age, which really benefited me a lot." Shi Mu said with a slight smile.
"There are many people in my family who have been to this secret realm. They told me so! Brother Shi, you don't have to be polite. You and I are both human race, after all, we are closer than alien races." Zi Ling smiled.
said.
Shi Mu secretly kept this information in mind, and at the same time, he felt a little more fond of this cute girl who knew a lot about the secret realm, but he also felt that it was not as simple as it seemed.
While the two were talking, people were leaving one after another.
Although Shi Mu was talking to the little girl, he had been using his consciousness to observe what was going on around him.
He found that most of the people who left were in the middle stage of the earth level, and a few had even reached the late stage of the earth level. Their strength was on the upper side among everyone. They were naturally highly skilled and bold, and were not afraid to explore alone.
The most eye-catching one among them is a tall foreign man with maroon skin, who unabashedly exudes a terrifying aura that is close to the Great Perfection of the late Earth Stage.
The reason why Shi Mu was so impressed by him was that the man's exposed upper body was engraved with a strange-looking flaming beast pattern, which looked extremely fierce and fierce.
In addition to those who left alone, there were also those who left in small groups or together. Some of them were members of the same race who knew each other well, and some formed temporary alliances.
As for the remaining people, either their strength was a little low and they were not accepted by the mid-level disciples, or they were cautious by nature. Anyway, the competition lasted for a month, so they were not in a hurry and stayed where they were.
At this moment, Shi Mu suddenly heard a noise coming from not far away and turned to look.
I saw a thin blue-haired demon youth wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist, accompanied by three similar-looking people, surrounding a woman and talking about something.
The blue-haired young man has a pair of sharp horns on his head, a dark nose, and is covered in rich clothes. He looks like he has an extraordinary status, and his cultivation level seems to be in the middle of the earth class.
"This girl is in Shimoda. Speaking of traveling to this secret realm, it is quite risky. You might as well go with us so that we can take care of each other." The blue-haired young man said.
What the blue-haired man wanted to win over was a fair-skinned green-haired girl. This girl's face was no different from that of the human race, and was even more delicate than most human race women. Her pointed ears were hidden under her temples.
Her nose was slightly straight, and her red lips were lightly pursed, but her face, which should have been pretty and pretty, was covered with a layer of frost at the moment.
