746: 398 Robbery 746: 398 Robbery After exchanging pleasantries, it was finally decided that Xu Qiaoxia would lead the team.
Gu Xianliang, clearly whipped by his wife, naturally listened to everything Xu Qiaoxia said.
Fang Zhixing deliberately acted young and unassertive, so Xu Qiaoxia naturally took charge without hesitation.
“Well, it’s getting late, let’s get going.”
Xu Qiaoxia called out and, along with Gu Xianliang and Fang Zhixing, walked into the morning glow.
The three of them left the cave dwelling and made their way to the Internal Affairs Hall to pick up a set of equipnt.
Fang Zhixing took a close look, and an expression of sheer fascination imdiately spread across his face.
The equipnt consisted of a black suit and a gas mask.
“Guest Elder Fang, you’ve never seen clothes like this, have you?”
Gu Xianliang picked up the suit and chuckled, “This is what those natives from the Fifth Layer world wear, quite unsightly.”
He comnted on his own, “Look at these cuffs, they are tight-fitting, nowhere near as elegant as our robes.”
He flicked his broad sleeves, which billowed in the wind, and sighed, “Those natives from the Fifth Layer don’t know what it ans to be as free-spirited as the wind, do you agree?”
Fang Zhixing’s mouth twitched slightly.
He nodded and echoed, “It’s quite ugly, no taste.”
He picked up the gas mask and asked, “What’s this mask for?”
Xu Qiaoxia replied imdiately, “The Fifth Layer world is filled with poisonous gas, and once we breathe it in, we feel miserable and beco weak.”
Gu Xianliang added, “There was once a person who went into the Fifth Layer and his gas mask was damaged.
He couldn’t retreat in ti and stayed there for seven or eight days.
By the ti that person returned, he had developed many tumors on his body and soon fell gravely ill and died.”
Fang Zhixing understood.
For the natives of Martial Saint World, cha World is a radiation zone.
The air is filled with radioactive energy, poisonous and harmful, necessitating proper protection.
This, Fang Zhixing could very well relate to, as he had to wear protective clothing upon entering the Sixth Level Restricted Area.
From this, it could be gathered…
“The radiation in Martial Sect World isn’t strong; radiation likely starts to intensify starting from cha World and increases with each layer.”
“The humans of cha World, having lived in a low-radiation environnt for years, are already accustod to it.”
“Whereas the humans of Martial Saint World live in a more benevolent environnt with almost no radiation, making them particularly sensitive, unable to tolerate even the radiation of the Fifth Layer world, let alone venture into deeper Restricted Areas.”
At this point, Gu Xianliang and Xu Qiaoxia began changing their clothes.
Fang Zhixing, following their lead, put on the suit and the gas mask.
Next, they headed to the rear mountain, reaching halfway up the slope.
There was no path ahead.
What caught their eyes was a wet, slippery rock wall, sheer and steep, with water cascading down from above and twisted vines climbing wildly.
Fang Zhixing glanced around and soon found a deep crack in the rock wall hidden by vines.
“The entrance is right here.”
Xu Qiaoxia stepped forward, pulled back the vines, raised her palm, and struck hard.
Snap~
The rock wall vibrated and the crack slowly widened to over a ter across, dark and ominous inside.
Xu Qiaoxia dived into the crack, and her footsteps quickly faded into the depths.
“Let’s go!”
Gu Xianliang laughed and hurriedly followed.
Fang Zhixing followed suit.
After crossing through the darkness, the whistling wind sounded in their ears, wooing.
A chill struck, cold to the bone.
The shaky and chaotic light irritated their eyes, making it difficult to lift their eyelids at first.
After a while, Fang Zhixing gradually adjusted to the light and looked around.
Heavy snow fell thickly, and the cold wind slashed like knives, stinging their faces.
The surroundings were wooded, with rolling hills in the distance.
Behind them was a small mountain, over a hundred ters high.
At the base of the mountain was a crooked tree with a hollow at its base.
The three of them had just erged from this hollow under the crooked tree.
Fang Zhixing imdiately activated his Divine Soul Perception, capturing the scenery for miles around in an instant.
To the north were snowy mountains, bitterly cold, and to the east and west lay vast prival forests.
To the south, beyond a large area of rolling hills, were scattered villages and small towns…
“Let’s go this way.”
Xu Qiaoxia tapped her toes and dashed forward, driven by a swirl of chaotic snow.
Gu Xianliang followed closely, heading south.
“Hmm, interesting.”
Fang Zhixing’s lips slightly curled, and in a flash, he was beside Xu Qiaoxia.
“Hmm?”
Xu Qiaoxia was startled, shaken to the core.
She had started running a breath before Fang Zhixing and never expected that he could catch up in an instant.
Previously, Fu Wanshan had ntioned to her and her husband that Fang Zhixing’s strength was unfathomable.
She thought that was just the Sect Leader making casual comnts and didn’t really believe it.
After all, Fang Zhixing was just a foreign Guest Elder; how strong could he be?
As for them, coming from a major sect, practicing Divine Skills, with abundant resources and strong capabilities, they naturally felt superior and looked down on those Guest Elders from the bottom of their hearts.
She never expected…
At that mont, Fang Zhixing asked, “Elder Xu, how do we go about obtaining Holy Essence?”
Xu Qiaoxia replied, “In the Fifth Layer world, Holy Essence, a kind of heavenly and earthly treasure, is deeply buried underground as a type of mineral deposit.
The natives here have also discovered the value of Holy Essence and are frantically mining and utilizing it, so over ti, Holy Essence has been excessively mined.
For countless years, the Holy Essence within ten thousand ters underground has already been dug out.
And the Holy Essence below ten thousand ters is much harder to mine, with very low output, hardly eting the demand.”
