Longze River is a large river, extending from the next door Zhu Zi Kingdom all the way to the north of the Zhao Kingdom, passing through mountains, and the widest part can reach several thousand meters.
Milo Dragon Bay is located in the middle reaches of the Longze River within the Zhao Kingdom. It is named because the river curves like a dragon and is shrouded in a poisonous and confusing atmosphere all year round.
This is a famously dangerous place, but it also contains many opportunities.
According to the Zhao Kingdom's geographical records, it is rich in elixirs that can restrain poisonous miasma and can be used to refine various Detoxifying Pill.
In addition, there is a strange fish growing in the river section inside. Its Demonic Core is as bright as a night pearl. It can be used for lighting, and the peculiar fragrance it emits also helps Martial Artist calm down.
Therefore it is extremely valuable.
So Martial Artist often ventures in.
In the past, Martial Artist often went in and disappeared, but recently, the frequency of disappearances has increased significantly, and many people have even gone in and never come out again.
Among them is the nearby Lotus Fort who rely exclusively on the products in Milo Dragon Bay for their livelihood.
The fort is about the same size as a town, but it is in a dangerous zone all year round, so it has tall stone walls and some defensive measures.
They were also the first to report the situation to the major sects and issue tasks.
At first it was just a rescue mission, but after several eighth- and ninth-grade sect disciples went in and didn't come out, things evolved into this.
Lu Ming rode to Lotus Fort. He first visited everywhere to find out the situation, and then asked for a lot of specific information about Milo Dragon Bay.
"Are you a sect disciple who came here to take on a mission?"
An old man in his seventies looked at the tightly wrapped Lu Ming and said.
"How did the old man figure it out?" Lu Ming asked casually.
The old man smiled and said:
"The temperaments of sect disciples and casual cultivators are different. In addition, you are the sect disciple who knows how to respect elders the best I have ever seen. There have been two before you, one is arrogant, and the other should not approach strangers."
Lu Ming thought that other sects should have taken over the mission, so they didn't stay too much. "Thank you very much, uncle."
"Wait a minute."
The old man suddenly stopped Lu Ming and said:
"Young man, just because you respect an old Old Man like me so much, I want to remind you that Milo Dragon Bay is not simple inside, so don't go in."
Before Lu Ming could ask why it was not simple, he continued:
"I have lived for more than seventy years. I have heard from my ancestors since I was a child that there is evil in Milo Dragon Bay, but I have never seen it before, so I don't believe it. And the recent events are most likely related to this."
Lu Ming frowned, the evil spirit was gathered by Sha Qi, and formed spiritual wisdom over the years. It is not clear how high the strength is, but it is extremely strange and difficult to deal with.
"It is indeed dangerous, but I still want to go. Thank you for informing me."
Lu Ming once again handed over his hand and turned away. His sword intention did not allow him to retreat before he saw the danger.
"Well, although this young man seems to be easier to get along with than the two people in front of him, he is more difficult to get close to. He has always been wary in his heart."
The old man looked at Lu Ming's back, shook his head and sighed, and then said to himself:
"But only people like this can live a long time. I hope the two people in front of me can come out safely."
Lu Ming did not rush to Milo Dragon Bay, but found many people to verify the information. Until he understood it almost, he found an inn to stay and store his horses.
And he himself disappeared into the room quietly.
The sun is setting in the west and the wind is freezing.
Lotus Fort In the wild, Lu Ming appeared under a big tree. He looked back at the tall stone wall in the distance. After seeing that no one was following him, he cast [Wind Riding Art] and officially headed towards Milo Dragon Bay.
It's not that he is overly concerned. If there is really any conspiracy in Milo Dragon Bay, there is a high probability that there will be some connection with the people in Lotus Fort.
So he quietly disappeared into the inn, keeping an eye on him.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour later, Lu Ming arrived at the Longze River. He planned to go along the river towards Milo Dragon Bay. This was basically the case for people who came in and out in the past.
The terrain inside is complex and shrouded in poisonous mist. If you are not careful, you will lose your way. The best way to identify the direction is by relying on the river.
However, it is not that simple. Within Milo Dragon Bay, Longze River extends out many tributary water systems, extending in all directions.
So you can't rely entirely on this.
After looking at the terrain, Lu Ming took a few Detoxifying Pill into his mouth, then ran True Qi and stepped into the poisonous miasma.
In this way, after walking for a short while, Lu Ming saw the complexity of the terrain inside.
Next to the river are all steep cliffs, which are high and low, Strange Stone, and there are not many places to stay.
Fortunately, it doesn't matter to Lu Ming. He has great qinggong skills and can ride on the wind and travel here as if he were walking on flat ground.
Whoosh!
The long sword was instantly unsheathed, Lu Ming killed the poisonous snake that suddenly jumped out from the vines on the cliff, and then became more and more cautious.
After walking on tiptoes for a short moment, Lu Ming finally found some traces, which were human bones.
The time of death cannot be determined because the flesh and blood have long been devoured by poisonous insects, snakes, and ants. However, looking at the shattered skull, we can judge that he died from an external force hitting his head.
"Who is the master of the external force? Human or evil?"
Lu Ming couldn't see any other information, so he had to keep an eye out and continue moving forward, and soon came to a slightly flat cliff.
The river below was turbulent, and there was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old on the water, standing on a huge driftwood, fighting with a monster fish in the water.
Wearing Nine Heavens Sect Core Disciple clothes, the realm is at its peak in the late Zhen Qi Realm period.
Drink!
As if he noticed someone watching above him, the boy punched the demon fish back into the water, then stamped his right foot and jumped into the sky on the exploding water flow.
In the blink of an eye, he came to stand next to Lu Ming and asked with sharp eyes, "Who are you and how long have you been here?"
"Jianghu Swordsman, just arrived." Lu Ming replied in a calm tone.
"Jianghu Swordsman? That's a casual cultivator. How dare you step into this place?"
The young man saw clearly the state of Lu Ming, with a look of contempt on his face.
Lu Ming frowned slightly. He did not expect that the Nine Heavens Sect Core Disciple in front of him would be so arrogant and said in a deep voice:
"What, this is the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den?"
"Humph, it depends on who it is. To you, of course it is, but to me, it is nothing."
He looked contemptuous, "Do you know who I am?"
Seeing the other party's attitude, Lu Ming Xin was unfazed and shook his head, "I don't know."
"Then listen carefully, I am Nine Heavens Sect Gang Qi Realm below, one of the top ten Core Disciple, Tong Xiao."
"If you can get out of here alive, remember to stay away when you hear my name. I will forgive you for spying today."
After saying that, he made a few ups and downs, walked forward, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lu Ming looked at his disappearing figure and shook his head again. This person is so frivolous, I'm afraid he won't live long.
So don't be angry about it.
But what he said, "Below Gang Qi Realm, one of the top ten cores" made him a little surprised.
Nine Heavens Sect and Wuji Sect are similar. There are one hundred Core Disciple, divided into three levels.
The first level is Gang Qi Realm, the most famous and powerful one. There are three people, namely Mad Swordsman of the Nine Heavens Sect, Shadowless Blade of the Jade Luo Sect, and Thunderclap Sword of the Wuji Sect.
The second level is the top ten cores of the Zhen Qi Realm. They all have amazing talents and have the ability to dominate Zhen Qi Realm.
Unexpectedly, he met one today.
However, with his current strength, if he competes for the top ten cores of the Wuji Sect, he will be able to do so.
And let alone him, even Chi Xuan and He Jianjun are like this.
Who makes this generation of inner disciples so ridiculously strong?
The third level is the ordinary Core Disciple, but these are also selected from the elites of the inner sect, and their strength is not weak.
Without thinking any more, Lu Ming moved on.
