I never thought Id be happy to see you, Wind exclaid. They were the first words out of his mouth when he saw her.
Not surprisingly the next ten minutes were filled with Rain chasing after her brother for a beating.
The boss knew a lot of people lost their lives in town, but knowing the situation was resolved alleviated so of his sadness. As thanks he covered the groups als and lodgings.
No one rejected his offer, especially not Feng Wu who was particularly weak to free food. As a result the group stayed at the inn for the night and left for the realm battlegrounds the next morning.
The bodies of fallen gods and demons lay buried throughout the region. Alongside their bodies were also the weapons they used.
Maybe it was because the land was soaked with their blood, but many rare fruits, like the fruit for elental affinity and body enhancent, grew there. Unfortunately, they were often in difficult to reach places.
It wasnt all good treasures though. There were contaminated plants that grew there as well. The plants werent obviously magical to the naked eye, but once consud their magic would seep into the body and enchant the person in a matter of minutes. If it was just demonic possession, then it wouldnt be so bad. At worst the newly transford demon would go to the demon world and mix with the people there. What was bad was if the person was internally influenced by the fruit in such a way so as to not transform completely, becoming neither human nor demon.
That foolish person will have no ho, being unwelco in the demon world and unwanted in the human world.
Those with the worse luck were the ones who succumbed to the fruit without even a chance to transform. Their contaminated spirits turned them into mindless killing machines intent on killing anyone that entered the realm battlegrounds. These kinds of resurrected spirits were known as zombies.
Anyone with an understanding of the battlegrounds knew the two most dangerous things were zombies and magical plants. They were adventurers worse nightmare. If they werent careful, they would beco the next zombies themselves.
Elena explained the situation to the juniors in the group.
Ai Lin, werent you going to dig for crystal ores? Why are you coming with us? Yifu asked Ai Lin.
Ai Lin replied with a deadpan expression. I think its safer to stick together. Besides, its all the sa to whether I go to the realm battlegrounds or go digging for magical ore.
Ai Lin, make sure not to wander around once we get inside, warned Elena. She was fond of Ai Lin. Ai Lin was definitely not as stupid as Yifu.
OK, answered Ai Lin clearly and obediently.
Senior Sister Elena, you guys can go on in and train. Dont mind us. We can take care of ourselves. Jier didnt want them to be hampered because of him and the other freshn in the group.
Forget about it. Everyone can just stick together, otherwise well worry about you guys becoming zombies. Tian Ya said in a cold voice. He gave a particularly cold glance at Yifu.
They entered the valley entrance to the battleground in silence. There was so much magic that it saturated everything, causing all the plants to mutate. There were absolutely no ordinary plants here; in fact so were even aggressive and able to attack.
They were all abnormal and gigantic. You couldnt find a tree shorter than 32 (10 ters) tall.
There were unsubstantiated rumors of mythical beast sightings, but in reality beasts were a rare occurrence. They couldnt survive for long in the battlegrounds so the group didnt have to worry about attacks on that front.
And since zombies only appeared farther up the mouth of the valley, they didnt have to worry about that either.
Since it was the freshns first ti, Ming Xi and his group travelled slowly, taking care to explain the characteristics of the plants they passed, such as which ones were likely to attack, and which ones to watch out for.
Aside from a few mutated plants attacking them, it was an uneventful walk. They found a concealed place to camp for the night as dusk fell. After securing the periter with so deterrent powder everyone settled in for the night.
Zi Cheng took a deep breath to firm her resolve. Seniors, fellow classmates, I have sothing to say. Her original plan was safe, but simply too ti consuming. She decided to tell them about the tomb. After everything that happened, she knew the seniors werent the kind of people to kill soone over treasure.
Jier was even a successor to the gods. Any successor would have to have an honest heart right? It was impossible for an evil person to gain the recognition of the gods. Zi Cheng wasnt as anxious about divulging information about the tomb because of Jiers presence.
Her original plan was to keep the tomb a secret and just have Elena lead her to the general area on the map, but telling the group about everything would make the journey more manageable. Besides, with the systems help she would be able to find the treasure before anyone else. And with Jier in the picture, she wouldnt have to worry about anyone backstabbing her.
That Zi Cheng was willing to share the story about the tomb disturbed Ai Lin.
