Chapter 500 Reward
It was not difficult to find companions. As soon as Liuying and Feigui showed their strength levels in the late and peak Nascent Soul stages, the surrounding cultivators suddenly became more talkative.

Everyone wants to curry favor with someone, and everyone wants to do their best to survive in this seemingly dangerous secret place.

In less than half an hour, the two of them had identified their three poor companions, a physical cultivator, a sword cultivator, and a magic cultivator, all of whom were in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. They all looked like ordinary casual cultivators, and Liuying was confident that she could easily take down all three of them by herself.

The time in line passed quickly as they got to know each other, and soon it was their makeshift team's turn.

To be honest, Liuying can be said to have truly escaped from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. In order to devour better souls, she was found by high-level righteous monks more than once. They wanted to avenge their disciples and followers. She fled for her life countless times and faced many dangers, but she survived. This made her confident in her own strength, especially her ability to escape.

However, looking at the pitch-black door to the secret realm in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Sigh, if I were at the border of humans and demons, I would have enough time and could have found some scapegoats to help me explore the way. Unfortunately, in this situation, I really can’t do anything. I can only go out and fight for my life. It’s really uncomfortable…

Sighing, she still followed the casual cultivator and walked into the door to the secret realm that had swallowed up countless lives.

After a slight trance, the feeling of being grounded returned, and Liuying immediately extended his spiritual sense to quickly observe the surroundings.

This is a blood-red world. The land is light red, the nearby trees are dark red, the distant mountains are crimson, the sky is bright red, and there is a pair of even brighter red eyes embedded in the sky!
One eye was closed, and the other was open, moving it from time to time, observing the world below.

What the hell is this world? What's up with these eyes in the sky? Is there no sun or moon here? What kind of being can have such eyes?
That's not right! Those people I heard talking about before never mentioned that there were eyes in the sky! They all talked about how weird and ferocious the monsters in it were, and how to find patterns and abide by rules. Why didn't they tell us such important information?
Liuying has a keen sense. Even though she is not sure how far away she is, she can still sense the madness emanating from the eye in the sky!

Also, the feeling of being completely seen through!

This feeling is even greater than the pressure that Master put on me! Much greater!
The owner of these eyes must be stronger than the master! Perhaps he is in harmony with the Tao? This kind of madness, cruelty, and violence, what kind of Tao does this guy have?

Moreover, how come there is no spiritual energy at all in this place? Was there originally no spiritual energy, or was it absorbed by the owner of those eyes?

Although I have a lot of spirit stones in my storage bag and I have prepared many bottles of spirit-restoring pills, if I fight in this place without spirits, even for me, the consumption will be much greater. After all, it takes time to take drugs and absorb spirit stones, and I can't use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cast spells...

Soon, everyone entered the copy. No one acted rashly. They just activated their magic weapons and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a low-quality puppet-like female voice sounded:
"This mission: survive for seven days."

What's that sound? Who's talking? No! It's not a sound! It's something that appears directly in my mind! The ability to break through my body's protective consciousness without any sound or trace, the power of the owner of the sound is definitely not less than that of Master!

The five of them looked at each other, all with nervous expressions, especially the swordsman. The flying sword in his hand was already emitting layers of spiritual light and was trembling unsteadily, as if it would be shot out in the next second.

Looking back, I saw that the space-time gate that I came from was indeed not there. Behind me was a desolate red wasteland with only a few sparse plants and only tree trunks with their fangs and claws bared.

It's dead silent, with no living creatures in sight, and you can feel malicious attacks at all times... If the colors were changed, this place would be more like the Demon Realm.

"Did you hear that voice too?" The wandering cultivator Fa Xiu was a little old man who looked quite calm. "It said something like that we should survive for seven days."

The others nodded to indicate that they had heard it.

The old magician laughed and said, "Since we are all companions, I will not hide the truth from you. I am not proficient in magic, but I do have some experience in defense and hiding. I..."

But he had only said half of his words when the red ground not far away began to make a rustling sound, which was small and dull, as if something was crawling quickly in the sand.

"Everyone be careful!" The physical trainer looked very experienced: "There seems to be something underground!"

They were all Nascent Souls, and they all flew into the air, activating their body-protecting magic escape techniques. They also slapped protective talismans on their bodies in advance and summoned protective magic weapons to resist any possible attacks from the ground to the greatest extent possible.

Under everyone's gaze, the area where everyone was previously located immediately changed. The entire solid ground seemed to have suddenly turned into liquid, and the entire ground began to boil. Countless pieces of soil jumped up and fell, like bubbles in boiling water.

Fortunately, there was no change in the surrounding temperature, and simply hovering and flying did not consume much mana. Even if they did not swallow the elixir, everyone could fly for several years in a spiritless state, so they were not afraid of the changes on the ground.

Gradually, the boiling of the land subsided, and the whole earth became calm, like a calm lake.

suddenly!

A huge hand several dozen feet long suddenly grew out from the ground and grabbed the five people in the sky at a very fast speed!

The big red hand looked like a pair of bloody hands, with dirt constantly sliding down from it, like blood. Liuying could even smell the strong smell of blood and decay from the bloody hands.

This place seems very suitable for the Bloodthirsty Sect. If they were here, they might be able to collect all these strange soils and refine them into some magical weapons.

Everyone was on edge, their senses were at their most alert, and their speed was fast enough to easily avoid the grip of the bloody hand and disperse.

However, before everyone could settle down in the new place, five smaller blood-red hands appeared on the ground, each reaching out to grab.

With the experience from before, everyone dodged easily again, but the bloody hand did not stop at all, and continued to reach out and grab, as if it would never stop.

"Damn it! It's not over yet!" After hiding for a long time, although it was still relatively easy, the swordsman could no longer bear it.

He just pointed with his right hand, and the flying sword flew out, directly hitting the bloody hand that was grabbing him.

This flying sword should not be his natal flying sword. It is only at the lower level of Nascent Soul. However, it is also very powerful and has strong penetrating power. It pierced through the bloody hand almost instantly and came out directly from the other side.

However, everyone could see clearly that there was no gap on the bloody giant hand, and its speed did not slow down or stop at all, it still grabbed straight over.

"Something's wrong! My flying sword didn't touch the entity!" The sword cultivator shouted, "There's something wrong with this bloody hand!"

The flying ghost over there also moved, but he did not cast a spell. Instead, he took out a small purple ball from his storage bag, activated it, and threw it directly at the bloody hand that was grabbing him.

"Rumble..."

The small ball exploded instantly, and a large ball of thunder completely covered the blood-colored area, exploding into a piece on it. Liuying recognized this thing. It was a trophy obtained by Feigui from a thunder spirit root Yuanying. It was called "Exorcist Thunder Bead". It was a disposable item, but it could explode a fourth-level upper-grade thunder, which had a strong killing power against various evil things.

Fei Gui once used it to launch a sneak attack on a Yuanying from the Ghost Control Sect, and the effect was very good. These bloody hands looked weird and strange, and there was an extremely clear stench of corpses. It was obvious that they were evil creatures, so this thing was very suitable for them.

Countless thunders exploded for more than three seconds before ending.

However, unexpectedly, under the gaze of everyone, the bloody hand did not suffer any harm, and it still grabbed the flying ghost as usual, but was dodged by his soul.

What the hell is this thing? It doesn't even have any effect on the evil-removing lightning bead? Is it because the lightning bead is too low-level and needs to be level 5? But even if it didn't work, there shouldn't be no scars at all, right?
No! It still had an effect! When the thunder exploded, the bloody hand did stay there for three seconds! It waited until the thunder ended before continuing to attack!

Could this be a creation of divine consciousness? Should I use my divine consciousness to check it out?
No! Let's not take the risk! I've already damaged some of my souls before. If I'm infected by the evil thoughts inside, even if I succeed in expelling the evil thoughts, I will definitely be seriously injured! The gain is not worth the loss!

Forget it, forget it. With this speed, even if it were ten times faster I could still hide easily. I have lasted for seven days easily. There is no need to take the risk.

But Fei Gui was obviously not so cowardly. He took out another evil-repelling thunder bead, but this time the target of the attack was the land under the bloody hand.

"Rumble..."

The power of thunder was indeed extraordinary. Soon, a huge pit with a radius of ten feet appeared on the ground. Even the bloody hand collapsed to the ground due to the disappearance of the foundation and no longer moved.

Unfortunately, this little hope of victory did not last long. Soon, the big pit was filled with mud from other places. The bloody hand regained its vitality and tirelessly grabbed the flying ghost.

Liuying understood some of the characteristics of these blood hands and completely gave up the plan to deal with them.

This thing is obviously a rule-based thing mentioned by those lucky people who escaped from the secret realm. It cannot be defied and can only be lifted by meeting certain specific conditions.

Liuying naturally didn't know about these conditions, so she decided to keep on fighting. There was no pressure anyway, so she might as well fight and treat it as a chance to practice the art of dodging.

Unfortunately, her plan didn't last long, as the boiling land below changed again!

Perhaps knowing that it couldn't catch the other person with one hand, ten more hands suddenly grew out of the ground. Together with the original five, they formed groups of three and grabbed the five people respectively.

The speed of the three bloody hands did not increase, but the increase in their number undoubtedly made it more difficult for everyone to dodge, and they all had to start using escape techniques.

Unfortunately, this secret realm is so strange that it actually has boundaries! There is an invisible wall that surrounds this area of ​​less than ten miles in radius, without a single gap!

The area was limited, and dodging became more difficult. Liuying and Feigui were still okay, but the three casual cultivators seemed a little cramped.

Especially when the bloody hands on the ground increased again and became six to catch one person, the clumsy physical cultivator was in danger several times and had to rely on others for help to avoid being caught.

"We can't go on like this!" The old magician shouted, "I have a defensive treasure! Everyone, hide inside first!"

As he spoke, a black tortoise shell appeared in his hand. It swelled up in the wind and turned into a huge tortoise shell with a diameter of seven or eight feet, emitting a solid luster.

Liuying immediately sensed that the aura of this thing was definitely not from the Nascent Soul stage! This was most likely the shell of a divine turtle monster!

For them, who are in the Nascent Soul stage, items at the Spiritual Transformation level are already trump cards, and they are trump cards that can be used. After all, if it is a Return to the Void magic weapon, it is likely that everyone’s magic power will not be able to recover after using it once.

Obviously, at the rate at which this bloody hand is growing, everyone will eventually be caught by it and face unknown dangers.

Without much hesitation, everyone quickly got into the solid turtle shell.

I have to say, this turtle shell does have some tricks. Liuying can clearly feel the heavy sounds of those bloody hands hitting the shell, but it is definitely not penetrated by the bloody hands and successfully resists their attack.

"Don't worry." The old magician praised while chewing. "This is what I got by chance. It's the shell of a mountain-carrying turtle monster in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. It's the most essential and hardest part of its body. I spent a lot of money to hire a fifth-level top-quality craftsman to help make it! For it, it can be said that attacks below the Spiritualization Realm are no threat at all!"

The result was just as he said. Although the clapping sounds outside became more and more frequent, like countless raindrops hitting banana leaves, the tortoise shell magic weapon was indeed not broken.

However, this fifth-tier magic weapon consumes a lot of energy to use. It requires a new person to provide the mana every two hours, and this cycle repeats over and over again, without a single moment of rest.

I don't know how long it took, but the inferior puppet-like female voice sounded again:

"Congratulations, you made it through the first day alive... Welcome to the second day."

The crowd had no intention of leaving and continued to hide in the tortoise shell. Unfortunately, within an hour, the tortoise shell began to roll over, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

No one knew what was going on outside, but since the turtle shell was not broken, they could only continue to input magic power and try their best to maintain it.

……

"Ah!" Liuying, who only had one arm left, shouted frantically, squeezing out the last bit of strength from his body, letting the sharp blade formed by his spiritual consciousness in his hand sweep in all directions, forcing back the strange demonic shadows that were surrounding him.

“Flying Ghost!” She turned back and urged, “Where’s your Spirit Explosion? Do it again!”

Unfortunately, no one answered her. When she turned around, she saw large groups of strange-looking ghosts that were putting their bodies together and making weird laughter.

"I'm going to fight you!" Looking at the ghost shadow approaching again, Liuying raised the sharp blade of her spiritual consciousness, her soul left her body, and she was ready to make a last stand.

However, that heavenly voice finally rang out again:
"Congratulations, you made it to the seventh day alive."

"Congratulations, you have received the blessing of Khorne."
