First Trial

The following day, outside the Manghuang Town, a dense crowd of people gathered, their noises merging into a massive wave that spread far and wide.

Mo Tang and his group stood at the back, looking at the crowd of over a thousand people in front of them, and couldn't help but click their tongues and shake their heads in amazement.

Although I've seen groups of this size before, this is the first time I've seen one where each person has at least the strength of a seven or eight- Dou Zong.

I raised my head, my gaze passing over the dense crowd to look ahead...

Not far ahead of this massive crowd lies a primeval forest exuding an ancient aura.

In the distance, colossal trees, hundreds of feet tall and defying any understanding from my previous life, stood like giants...

The trees provided ample shade, making it difficult for even the sunlight to penetrate.

Perhaps startled by the soaring aura outside the forest, occasionally, fierce roars filled with ferocity emanated from this Savage Ancient Region, sending chills down one's spine.

However, Mo Tang watched this scene with indifference, and even seemed to be pleased with it.

After all, with them going ahead as cannon fodder to scout the way, the rest of the journey will definitely be much smoother.

Moreover, with them dealing with these ferocious beasts on the outskirts, it will be easier for the people from the Three Major Powers to search for treasure...

Killing two birds with one stone, how wonderful!

Time didn't keep Mo Tang waiting too long...

Watching the roaring crowd surge into the ancient jungle, Mo Tang could only shake his head and click his tongue.

"Alright, let's follow them..."

As he spoke, he darted ahead and followed behind the crowd.

As the four ventured deeper, Mo Tang could clearly smell the increasingly strong stench of blood in the surroundings...

Clearly, every step on the journey ahead could be a stepping stone over someone's corpse.

But these were all their own choices, so even if they were to perish in the jaws of ferocious beasts, they could only blame themselves.

As they continued deeper, they began to see mangled corpses appearing on the ground, some even piled up together.

These corpses included both human and ferocious beasts...

Regardless of which side it is, it demonstrates that this Savage Ancient Region is not just a name without substance!

With his footsteps landing on a huge tree branch, Mo Tang said to the three women behind him, "Be careful on the journey ahead... Who knows if terrifying beasts that have survived since ancient times are hiding in some nook and cranny!"

Even though he himself possessed the highest-level supreme bloodline on this continent and was Three-star Dou Sheng, Mo Tang still dared not act too recklessly in this Savage Ancient Region.

Xiao Yi Xian scanned the surroundings with her beautiful eyes, then said to Mo Tang, "Be careful, Poison Mist is starting to rise around us..."

She was most sensitive to poisonous gases, so she noticed them as soon as they appeared in the air.

"Taking these antidote Poison Pill will help resist these poisonous miasmas."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled slightly and handed several scarlet pills to Mo Tang San.

When it comes to alchemy, Xiao Yi Xian is naturally no match for those high-level alchemists, but when it comes to understanding poisons and toxic gases, Xiao Yi Xian is definitely at the level of a grandmaster.

Especially after receiving the Heavenly Nether Poison Canon as a gift from Mo Tang ...

Even though the Poison Mist in this Savage Ancient Region could potentially kill Dou Zun, it was completely useless against Xiao Yi Xian.

Sure enough, after they continued forward for more than ten minutes, they began to see a few people dying from the corrosive effects of the poison...

Mo Tang even discovered a poor soul whose entire body had been almost completely dissolved by the Poison Mist fog, but who was still not quite dead... The screams made the already gloomy ancient forest even more terrifying!

Although it was a bit terrifying, the deeper one went, the more precious things one could find in Mo Tang.

Just like the greenish-blue fruit he was holding in his hand, although he didn't know its name, his system indicated that it could be converted into 500 High-grade Energy points, which showed that it was a very rare high-level medicinal material.

Mo Tang would naturally not let go of something so readily available.

It doesn't take much time anyway; you can just pick it off...

Of course, every treasure is guarded by a mythical beast.

Not to mention in this Savage Ancient Region, any decent item will inevitably be surrounded by guardian beasts.

Most of these guardian beasts are level Seventh-Rank Magical Beast, with a very few reaching level eight...

Unlike the Demonic Beast outside, the Demonic Beast in the Savage Ancient Region, even if they reach the Seventh-tier and meet the conditions for transformation, none of Demonic Beast will choose to transform. This is one of the reasons why they are directly called ferocious beasts.

Just like when Mo Tang obtained this fruit, there was a Mutated Twin-headed Flood Dragon next to him. It was a hybrid of a dragon and a snake, and its strength was quite good, reaching the early stage of the eighth rank. Even a high-level human Dou Zun would probably only be destined to be a snack if he encountered it...

Unfortunately, it encountered Mo Tang and the three women, any one of whom could easily overwhelm it, so its fate was tragic.

"Alright, let's continue!" Mo Tang said to the three women with a little excitement.

The three women had obviously seen this more than once, so they were used to it. Only Feng Qing'er, the "senior sister," would mutter "money-grubber" in secret.

As the group ventured deeper into the area, the surrounding poisonous miasma gradually thinned, until finally, it completely disappeared...

Having escaped the poisonous miasma, Mo Tang breathed a sigh of relief and then leaped onto a nearby boulder.

A glance ahead revealed a massive Heavenly Ravine, hundreds of feet wide, stretching into the distance...

This Heavenly Ravine is extremely deep, filled with poisonous gas, making it impossible to see where its end lies.

Beyond that Heavenly Ravine lay an endless mountain range.

These mountains are towering and majestic, like giant dragons coiled around them, exuding an ancient and boundless aura that permeates the world.

That place is the true Desolate Ancient Region!

"This outer layer of poisonous miasma alone has devoured countless people. It's fortunate that not everyone else was allowed in, otherwise they would probably have ended up like those people..."

Recalling the bloody scenes she had witnessed along the way, Yun Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Mo Tang narrowed his eyes slightly. "This is their own choice, isn't it?"

"For us, the most important thing now is the road ahead..."

The ferocious beasts here live in isolation, their power passed down from ancient times, and they are terrifyingly strong...

Although their extreme ferocity means they lack the intelligence of Demonic Beast of the same level, their explosive power far surpasses that of the creatures in the Beast Region. Therefore, we must be even more careful from now on!
