"I heard a rumor before, saying Zhou Nan has so kind of relationship with Trench Patrol Guest.
Now, it seems sowhat credible." Elder Gui cald down, stroked his long beard, and said slowly.
These words left everyone stunned.
Lou Yi also felt speechless.
Apparently, Zhou Nan is a kept man, an insider, no wonder he’s so arrogant.
The Trench Patrol Guest has always been biased towards him, it’s an ugly sight.
"That raccoon dog, usually acting so righteous, always emphasizing clearing demons and taking responsibility.
Now it seems he’s the one with the most self-interest, keeping a male lover and helping him, it’s laughable." Ding Shiniang sneered after hearing this.
"But there’s nothing we can do." Elder Gui shook his head, "What can we do with our lack of strength.
If there was soone in our team at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform, would that raccoon dog dare to be so blatant?
Rules are always set by the strong for the weak."
Hearing this, everyone felt even more aggrieved.
The Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform can compete for the position of Trench Patrol Guest, having a chance to cross the Heavenly Tribulation and reach the Supre Golden Core, how could it be easy to achieve?
It seems this grudge will have to be buried in the heart for a long ti, perhaps with no chance of revenge in this lifeti.
"Alas, fortune is constant, discovering this spiritual creature’s nest was already a blessing from above.
But I couldn’t grasp it, and it’s hard to co by such a good opportunity again." Elder Gui sighed.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed again.
As expected, in the days that followed, everyone only encountered a few scattered spiritual creatures, never as lucky as they were that day.
Even, a demon lair erupted once more at the beginning of the month.
Putting Lin Xuan’s team in a position where they had to clear out demons twice in a short ti, leaving everyone exhausted, their Spiritual Essence almost depleted.
Except for one person who endured it with relish, that was Lou Yi.
After several rounds of clearing demons, his total energy exceeded 20,000 points.
Getting closer to the 30,000 points needed to complete the Knowledge Storage Technique.
However, aside from the Knowledge Storage Technique, the upgrade of other talents and martial arts, as well as the deduction of perfected talents, all require a large amount of energy.
Energy is never enough.
Additionally, he encountered another high-tier demon and acquired another taunt talent.
The stacking of two identical talents greatly enhanced the power of his taunt talent.
Perhaps a few more tis, and he could directly advance to a proficient level, even without relying on key items.
At the sa ti, Lou Yi felt his connection with the Abyss growing stronger, with the restoration of his divination talent expected soon.
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.
On this day, everyone in the team was summoned, Elder Gui, Qin Dong, and others wore grave expressions, as if there was sothing to discuss.
And the focus of everyone’s gaze frequently fell on Lou Yi.
"Liu Shu, do you rember why we recruited you in the first place?" Elder Gui spoke up.
Lou Yi’s heart stirred, he nodded, "I rember, you said there was a secret location that needed soone with strong physical prowess to assist..."
"Correct." Elder Gui nodded, "Previously, we discovered a Heaven and Earth Wonder of the Gold Elent in the Jingsu District, which can help our leader condense the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform."
Hearing this, the two newcors in the team, Lou Yi and He Shuli, exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishnt in each other’s eyes.
Cultivators above Extre Foundation Establishnt co to the Abyss to find Heaven and Earth Wonders to break through to Golden Core?
But Heaven and Earth Wonders are extrely rare, finding them is mostly down to luck.
So people may not encounter a single Heaven and Earth Wonder in the Abyss their entire life.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan’s team had such deep foundations, they actually had information about a Heaven and Earth Wonder.
If this gets out, even Trench Patrol Guests with a Gold Elent affiliation might be tempted.
Elder Gui continued, "However, the Heaven and Earth Wonder is located in a rather narrow cavern, where many spiritual creatures capable of surprise attacks are hidden.
Therefore, we need soone with strong physical prowess at the front to ensure everything proceeds without fail."
"But standing at the forefront bears the greatest risk, we won’t force you." Ding Shiniang added, "If you are willing to do this, all my and Xuan’er’s earnings for the next three years will belong to you.
Additionally, whatever else you want, just tell us, and we’ll do our best to deliver."
After saying this, Ding Shiniang licked her lips with a red tongue, looking at Lou Yi with great allure.
As if saying to Lou Yi, even if you want to accompany you to bed, it’s not impossible.
’Why should they reward you...’ Lou Yi shook his head internally.
He didn’t make a decision imdiately but started using his recently nearly recovered divination talent to assess the risks of this operation.
The divination results indicated that there was nothing in the area with the Heaven and Earth Wonder that could threaten his existence.
Seeing the results, Lou Yi felt relieved and nodded, "Okay."
Seeing this, Lin Xuan excitedly pumped his fist, "Good Liu Shu, it’s not in vain we brought you into the team, you really have a sense of loyalty!"
He waved his hand and promised, "Once I break through to the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform, I’ll have your back in the Abyss!"
"Good, but we should prepare well." Elder Gui said, "The Jingsu District is Demon Clan territory, we might encounter them there, let’s get ready to hide our auras with talismans..."
The Demon Clan and the Human Race are mortal enemies in the main world, and things aren’t much better in the Abyss.
Apart from not being able to fight openly in front of Trench Patrol Guests, there’s no telling how much shady business goes on in private.
Everyone prepared for two days, and then set off directly.
The Jingsu District is next to the Shisu District, the team had to cross a territory larger than a normal country.
Thus, even with an accelerated pace, it took three to four days to reach the boundary between the two large districts.
The boundary is a vast basin.
As they proceeded, the terrain gradually lowered, and the color of the rocks beneath their feet darkened, with the temperature rising to seventy or eighty degrees, almost sizzling.
However, for these cultivators, it was child’s play, having no effect at all.
Entering the boundary, Lou Yi was surprised to find that the gray fog in the air beca thinner, and the sulfur sll in their noses also diminished.
When they arrived at the lowest part of the central area, the gray fog completely dissipated, leaving the surrounding void clear.
If unobstructed, one could clearly see the regions several dozen miles away.
Overhead was a gray sky, devoid of the omnipresent gray fog, without the sun, moon, or stars, and no drifting clouds.
At this mont, Lou Yi’s expression changed.
The avatar hidden within him suddenly felt a shocking alarm.
’What is happening?’
Lou Yi was pondering this when he heard a low rumble of thunder from above, and the surrounding air turned stuffy.
"What’s going on, it’s thundering suddenly, does it storm in the Abyss?" Others in the team naturally heard it and wondered.
"I once heard a rumor... the boundary between the two large districts might not belong to the Abyss." Elder Gui, the most knowledgeable in the team, said, "The Abyss and the main world seem to be interconnected on so level.
And between different districts in the Abyss, there are often fogless zones.
It’s as if other worlds forcibly inserted themselves in.
Feel the gravity here, isn’t it closer to that of the main world?"
"Are you saying the boundary between different districts might actually belong to the main world?" Lou Yi understood Elder Gui’s aning.
"It’s just a rumor, no one knows for sure." Elder Gui shook his head.
"I fear it’s true." Lou Yi looked to the high sky, his expression not looking good, "We should speed up and cross the fogless zone quickly."
The thunder in the sky grew denser, even showing flashes of dazzling blue-purple light.
Lou Yi’s avatar and his true self had to apply their Disguise Talent, but could still sense the faint threat from above.
’It seems that even if soone spreading faith in the main world flees to the Abyss,
unless they avoid going to other districts forever, it’s tough to escape a Heavenly Tribulation.’ Lou Yi couldn’t help thinking.
