The door of the secret room slowly opened, Jiang Donghua was slightly startled, then a smile appeared on his lips, his eyes fell on the energetic Liu Mingyu, his tone was a bit teasing.
"Brother Liu is in really good health. I thought it would take two days."
Liu Mingyu heard this and quickly clasped his fists with a look of gratitude and humility.
"It all depends on Brother Jiang's elixir! Otherwise, with my injuries, how could I have recovered so quickly?"
Liu Yuting stood aside, with his hands behind his back, his fingertips gently touching the scabbard of Mysterious Ice Spirit Blade, but his eyes quietly glanced at Jiang Donghua.
Seeing that his expression was as normal and he didn't seem to be bothered by yesterday's embarrassment, she felt a little relieved, but then she felt inexplicably disappointed.
"Since everything has recovered, that's good."
Jiang Donghua nodded slightly, glanced at the brother and sister, and spoke in a more serious tone.
"I said before that I would take you somewhere, and now is the right time."
A trace of expectation flashed in Liu Mingyu's eyes, he held Earth Vein Heavy Sword tightly and said in a deep voice.
"Brother Jiang, just ask!"
Liu Yuting also calmed down his thoughts and his eyes brightened slightly.
"Brother Jiang, where are we going?"
Jiang Donghua The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.
"Black Abyss Valley."
"Black Abyss Valley?!"
Liu Mingyu's face changed, obviously he was no stranger to this name.
Liu Yuting also had his pupils narrowed and subconsciously tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.
"Isn't that a dangerous place where ferocious beasts are rumored to be rampant, and even Outer Court elites dare not easily set foot in it?"
Jiang Donghua chuckled lightly, his tone indifferent but full of confidence.
"Yes, but it is also the best place to practice actual combat and improve your strength."
He paused, his eyes stayed on the two brothers and sisters for a moment, and then said slowly.
"Of course, if you think it's too dangerous, you can choose not to go."
Liu Mingyu took a deep breath, fighting spirit gradually rising in his eyes.
"Since Brother Jiang dares to go, how can we brothers and sisters shrink back?"
Liu Yuting also raised his chin, his eyes shining with a reluctance to admit defeat.
"That's right! We are not the ones holding us back!"
Jiang Donghua saw this and nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and waved his sleeves.
"Then let's set off."
The moment we stepped into the realm of Black Abyss Valley, the air suddenly became heavy.
At the mouth of the valley, two giant black peaks rise from the ground at an almost vertical angle like two silent demon gods, squeezing the sky into a narrow gap.
The sunlight becomes stingy here, and even at noon, the valley is still shrouded in a layer of gray mist, as if it stays forever at the junction of dusk and night.
The ground is not ordinary soil, but a strange dark red color, as if it has been repeatedly soaked in the blood of countless monsters, and finally solidified into this appearance.
When you step on it, it feels sticky, and the earth itself is greedily sucking the life force of the intruder.
The word "black abyss" is by no means empty talk.
This is not only a geographical abyss, but also the dividing line between strength and courage. Crossing this boundary means entering a real battlefield of life and death.
In the regular training area of Outer Court, First-tier Demonic Beast is an opponent that most students need to deal with carefully, but in Black Abyss Valley, First-tier Demonic Beast has long been eliminated, and they are not even qualified to survive here.
Tier 2 Demonic Beast are the bottom residents here. Each of these bloodthirsty beasts is comparable in strength to the elite students of Outer Court. What is even more frightening is that they often appear in groups.
Tier 3 Demonic Beast occupies the middle ecological niche. These ferocious beasts that have turned on their intelligence know how to ambush, hunt, and even use simple innate skills.
The most frightening thing is the elusive Tier 4 Demonic Beast. These are more terrifying existences than ordinary mentors. Every time they appear, they will cause a bloody storm in the valley.
The black miasma that permeates the valley not only blocks sight, but also slowly erodes the Dou Qi in the body, making people weak without even realizing it.
So I have to rely on the Dou Qi in my body to resist this vague feeling of erosion.
As the three of them continued to go deeper, the surrounding scene became more and more terrifying.
The rock wall is covered with deep claw marks, some of which are astonishingly large, obviously made by some giant creature.
Rusted weapon fragments are scattered on the ground, and occasionally you can see white bones half-buried in the red soil.
The most creepy thing is that some tree trunks have complete monster heads embedded in them, with empty eye sockets staring straight at every passerby.
"Brother Jiang, this place is a bit too dangerous for us two little Dou Zhe. How about we change the place for training?"
As soon as Liu Mingyu finished speaking, a deep beast roar came from the depths of Black Abyss Valley.
The sound was like rolling thunder, causing the gravel on the rock wall to rustle and fall, and even the red soil underfoot trembled slightly.
His face turned pale, cold sweat broke out in his hand that clenched Earth Vein Heavy Sword, his Adam's apple rolled, and he lowered his voice.
"Brother Jiang, if you hear this, it's at least Tier 3 Demonic Beast!"
Jiang Donghua still looked calm, and didn't even stop walking. He just glanced sideways at him, half-smiling but not smiling.
"Why, Brother Liu's Earth Vein Heavy Sword can't even cut through the skin of Tier 3 Demonic Beast?"
Liu Mingyu was choked and was about to say something else. Liu Yuting already snorted coldly. With a flick of her fingertips, Mysterious Ice Spirit Blade unsheathed it half an inch, and the cold light reflected on her slightly mocking eyebrows.
"Brother, if you are afraid, it is still too late to turn around and go back."
Her tone was light and airy, but every word touched her heart.
"Anyway, if I follow Brother Jiang alone, I won't be held back."
Liu Mingyu was aroused by his sister, and his face immediately turned red, and he frowned.
"Who, who is scared! I just think it's safe!"
"Safe?"
Jiang Donghua suddenly stopped, looked at the black miasma surging in the valley, and raised a meaningful arc at the corner of his mouth.
"True security is to prevent your enemies from even touching you."
Before he finished speaking, he fluttered his sleeves and robes, and a fierce Dou Qi suddenly erupted, turning into an invisible air wave and sweeping out.
The black mist in front of them was instantly torn apart, revealing several pairs of scarlet beast eyes lurking in the darkness. Three monsters that looked like giant wolves were baring their fangs, with saliva dripping from between their teeth. It was obvious that they had been staring at them for a long time.
"Second level peak, Blood Mane Wolf."
Jiang Donghua spoke in a calm tone, as if he was introducing a wild dog on the roadside.
"Brother Liu, do you want to practice your skills?"
Liu Mingyu's pupils shrank, but there was no way to retreat at this moment. He could only grit his teeth and take a step forward, and the heavy sword slammed into the ground.
"Come!"
Blood Mane Wolf roared and scattered around. One of them pounced on Liu Yuting, but she hit the bridge of the nose with a backhand knife. Mysterious Ice Spirit Blade's cold air instantly froze its facial flesh.
She has a butterfly-like figure and retreats lightly, not forgetting to wink at Jiang Donghua.
"Brother Jiang, if my brother can't stand it, you have to come to the rescue."
Jiang Donghua stood with arms folded, smiling without saying a word.
