Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

It was a mountain range, like a giant python stretching across the earth.

On the ridge of the mountain, a continuous and majestic city wall was built. On the high platforms of the city wall, human figures and even huge mechanical components can be vaguely seen.

When they got closer, they saw that those exaggerated mechanical components were actually giant crossbows. They were made of various metals such as dark copper, mithril, and many other expensive materials. They were combined with each other to form this terrifying weapon that was filled with extreme violence.

"I have to say, sometimes those people in the academy can still come up with good things."

Looking at those giant crossbows that were nearly five meters wide, Wu Xuantian introduced them to Ning Yan and Zhu Kexin with great emotion:

"This Broken Moon God Crossbow was created by the previous Palace Master of the Academy. It requires the combined efforts of at least five Peak Violent Energy Masters to activate it. Once it hits at close range, even a Peak Entering Energy Master will be shot and exploded on the spot. It is truly an extremely terrifying killing weapon."

"Fortunately, this divine crossbow is extremely expensive to make and needs to be placed on a specially built base to be used. It is difficult to move. Only in Zixia Pass are there forty of them specially placed to resist the beasts and monsters pouring out of the Shinra ruins.

It is precisely because of these giant crossbows, plus the many warriors guarding here, that the disaster spilling over from the Shinra ruins has been blocked in front of Zixia Pass, and it is difficult for it to spread to Fulong or even other cities. "

Ning Yan glanced at the carefree warriors on the platform and asked curiously:

"I heard that the warriors guarding here were all exiled by the city because they committed crimes. They guard Zixia Pass to atone for their sins. Usually there is a term requirement. Add to that the constant fighting and boring life all year round, won't they run away?"

"If they want to escape, they have to be able to escape."

The Fifth Sword, who was walking nearby, smiled and replied:

“Generally speaking, if the prisoners are guilty, they will be handcuffed and shackled to prevent them from escaping.

As for these warriors, they also have invisible shackles on their bodies, which are the curses cast by the sect leader himself.

Unless one is stronger than him, this curse will be difficult to remove. Once they leave the Zixia Pass, the sect master will be able to sense it immediately and detonate the curse with a thought. Even if they survive, they will never be able to practice again in this life.

Therefore, since the construction of Zixia Pass, there have been very few prisoners escaping, and those who escaped have also received due punishment. In recent years, there has not been a single escape incident."

As they were talking, everyone had already arrived under the city wall. The thick wall meandered towards both sides, with a huge hole in the middle. Walking into it was like walking through a tunnel. The light dimmed for a while before it became bright again, which showed how thick the city wall was.

After coming out of the tunnel, looking around, I saw a large low basin. The basin was blood-red with almost no weeds growing. There were broken stones and exposed soil everywhere, and countless strange skeletons were scattered throughout. Some were so huge that they were comparable to three-story houses. From time to time, I could see scavenger vultures flying up from the basin with a scream and soaring into the air.

Many warriors who frequently visit the Shinra ruins are not surprised by this sight.

On the contrary, newcomers like Ning Yan and Zhu Kexin, who were here for the first time, were all very surprised when they saw the situation in front of them.

Previously, they thought that building a checkpoint here might be an overreaction.

As a result, when everyone saw the horrifying scene left on the battlefield, they instantly realized that it was not that Fulong City was making a fuss, but that the monsters in the Shinra ruins were too terrifying.

Walking in the basin, feeling the power left by the debris, Ning Yan felt a vague sense of crisis from time to time.

Considering his current strength, the wreckage that can make him feel a sense of crisis must have been at the peak of entry strength, or even at the level of silk strength when he was alive.

But in this battlefield, the sense of crisis has never been interrupted.

It’s hard to imagine how many monsters at the peak of their powers died here.

Fortunately they were able to hold on.

After walking through this battlefield and personally experiencing the horror of those monsters, even the most optimistic warrior would be extremely wary of the Shinra ruins.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden noise from the right side of the battlefield.

Then I saw four strong men coming towards me carrying packages.

There were faint traces of blood on the bottom of the package, which were obviously materials taken from those monsters.

What is most surprising is that these four people look identical to each other, and they are actually two pairs of twins.

Seeing these four people, the team immediately started to discuss:

"It's the Luo Huan siblings and the Sha Gongda brothers."

"They are the elders of Gemini, why were they sent here?"

"Hey, you don't know this, right? These guys were so daring that they surrounded and killed the seriously injured deputy leader of the Bomb Sect in the Shinra ruins. As a result, after the Shinra Mirage was exposed, the Bomb Sect was hit by Gemini. Later, after the mediation of Sect Master Duan, the four of them were exiled here."

"Serves them right! I've heard that they often rob others in the Shinra ruins. Because they are so many and they are the elders of the Gemini constellation, everyone has always put up with it. I never thought they would end up like this!"

"Haha, serving here requires constant battles with the monsters in the Shinra ruins. There's no chance for peaceful practice. By the time the service is over, even if they don't die, they'll have some hidden injuries, and it'll be hard to improve their strength. These guys are completely finished."

……

Many independent cultivators were gloating over the misfortune, and their words were not concealed at all, as they went straight towards the two pairs of twins.

Upon hearing this, Luo Huan's brother and sister's faces turned pale and they glared at them fiercely, even preparing to take action.

Instead, the two Sha Gongda brothers walked towards the city wall in silence, as if they had not heard the gossip coming from around them.

Luo Huan and his brother chased after them and soon caught up with the two.

Looking at the burly Sha Gongda, Luo Huan shouted:
"They mocked us like that, why didn't you react at all?"

"What reaction do you want?"

Sha Gongda turned his head and glanced at her.

“We were just sent here, but that doesn’t mean we have to be ridiculed.

We can just beat them up and teach them a lesson so that they can't go to explore the Shinra ruins.

Anyway, as long as we don’t kill anyone, Jian Ji Zong can’t blame us.”

Looking at Luo Huan gritting his teeth, Sha Gongda said indifferently:

"Does it make sense?"

"you--!"

"I'm going back."

Seeing Sha Gongda and the other man leave, Luo Huan stomped his feet in anger.

Until returning to the high platform of the city wall, Sha Gongda said goodbye to his brother and walked into the hollowed-out stone house by himself.

He closed the door and placed the bloody package next to it.

Then he poured a large glass of water and walked to the narrow window despite the fishy smell.

Through the window, you can just see people walking towards the ruins.

Sha Gongda drank water and kept his eyes on the team without blinking. He saw them leave the battlefield and split into several teams on the desolate stone ground, heading towards the Shinra ruins in different directions.

After confirming the whereabouts of each team, Sha Gongda took out a palm-sized piece of black and red parchment, bit his fingertips and wrote a series of information on the paper.

After the recording was completed, he poured the remaining water onto the paper. In an instant, the parchment paper turned into countless transparent fragments that flew out of the window, drifting away all the way to the Shinra ruins...

"what?"

Under a huge and twisted ancient pine tree, Guan Ruoyu, with a stern face and dressed in black, suddenly stretched out his hand and swept down a few strands of debris from mid-air.

She rolled it lightly with her hand, and her eyebrows raised immediately:

"Nero's message? Someone in Fulong has mastered this method of communication?"

Looking at the transparent fragments still flying away quickly in the air, Guan Ruoyu was quite surprised.

After a slight hesitation, she finally did not intercept it.

Nero communication is achieved through Neromon. Because its communication speed is extremely fast, comparable to escaping with all one's strength, and the message is confidential, outsiders cannot understand the content even if they intercept it. Therefore, it is often used in places like the capital city.

Moreover, this thing has a characteristic. Once the interceptor cuts it off, the aura will remain on the body and it often takes several days to dissipate. Although Guan Ruoyu has a way to greatly shorten the time the aura remains, she has important things to do right now and there is no need to create unnecessary trouble.

When those transparent fragments completely disappeared from sight, Guan Ruoyu's ears couldn't help but move slightly, and then she turned around and looked at the sparse weeds.

Nearly twenty breaths later, Ning Yan, who was hurrying over, finally came to her.

"You came faster than I thought. It seems that Wei Daoqi did not delay the task I assigned to him."

"Of course. You are the inspector after all. How dare he delay your instructions?"

Ning Yan, who had changed into Su Li's appearance, asked seriously:
"The content of the letter is a bit vague. What is the specific situation?"

"Let's talk as we walk."

Guan Ruoyu led Ning Yan forward and said as they walked:
"I mentioned before that I came here to explore the depths of the Shinra ruins. When I was collecting information, I accidentally found information related to the Blue Silver Grass."

“Hundreds of years ago, when the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect had not yet been destroyed, it was also an extremely powerful sect, no less powerful than the Lingzhi Sect and the Shigu Sect.

The two skills he is best at are forging weapons and raising animals.

In terms of weapon forging, they have the Divine Weapon Building, a specially developed sword domain, and hundreds of accumulated spiritual weapons. Although most of them have been damaged or stolen, the remaining ones are still attracting many warriors here to search for them.

As for raising animals, they have special animal gardens and medicine gardens, including the famous Yellow Spring. It is rumored that it was also used to raise special medicines to induce the birth of animals.

The greatest achievements among them were the many dragon beasts they raised.

At its peak, the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect had dozens of dragon beasts comparable to the third level protecting the sect.

As for the dragon beasts below the third realm, such as those with transformation power and silk power, they are even more difficult to count.

It was precisely because of these two trump cards that the entire southwest area of ​​Yongding Prefecture once belonged to the sphere of influence of the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect.

Of course, with the demise of the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect, all of this glorious history has become a thing of the past.

Now, even the remaining ruins of the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect, except for nearby cities such as Fulong City, continue to pay attention and continue to gain profits from those remnants.

Many large sects like the Spiritual Plant Sect and the Corpse Bone Sect no longer take this seriously, because they have already taken most of the initial profits from the ruins.

For example, the two corpse dragons and the three-headed skull dragon of the Corpse Bone Sect were transformed from the third-level dragon beasts of the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect.

Although the strength of the five dragon beasts has been greatly reduced after the transformation, they are still able to hang on the edge of the third realm. It is naturally not very good to deal with the enemies of the third realm, and they can't beat anyone. But when it comes to those Huajin warriors, they can kill them one by one. "

Hearing this, the childish face of the Fifth Sword popped up in Ning Yan's mind for no reason.

Guan Ruoyu continued:

“As for the blue silver grass, I accidentally discovered during my investigation that this thing was cultivated to serve as fodder for some special monsters.

The monster is called Firefly Jade Snake, and Blue Silver Grass is an essential nutrient to sustain its life.

Now hundreds of years have passed. Logically speaking, most of the monsters in the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect should have died. Even if they are not dead, they have undergone mutations and turned into disaster beasts roaming around.

However, I heard that someone had seen a firefly jade snake in the ruins, and its appearance and behavior characteristics perfectly met the requirements.

Since the Firefly Jade Snake is alive, even if there is only one of them, it means that there must be Blue Silver Grass around.

According to our original plan, the best thing to do is to find the cultivation information of blue silver grass and cultivate it ourselves. The second best thing to do is to find a large amount of blue silver grass and directly make a sustained-release agent.

We have no information at the moment, but if we find the Blue Silver Grass, we can still alleviate the curse that the Corpse Sect has placed on us."

Ning Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked:
"Does the Jade Snake know where it is now?"

Guan Ruoyu shook her head and continued:

“Although I haven’t been able to find out its exact whereabouts, since the Jade Snake appeared near the medicinal garden, there’s a high probability that the Blue Silver Grass is growing nearby.

We can first search the herb garden carefully. If we can't find it, we can search around the herb garden. If we still can't find it, we can continue to expand the search area until we find it."

Seeing Guan Ruoyu's determined eyes, Ning Yan said with difficulty:
"If I remember correctly, there seems to be a lot of danger in that medicine garden. Some of the remaining medicinal plants have even undergone special mutations. Before, some people went in to search, but half of them were killed by man-eating vines before they got far. It is rumored that there are golden five-limbed flowers growing deeper in the garden. Even those who are touched by silk energy will have a hard time escaping unscathed."

"Five-limbed flower, is this what you mean?"

Guan Ruoyu took out a small golden flower. The pistil in the center of the flower actually had a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and there were five flesh-colored slender limbs around the flower.

As soon as the flower appeared, it immediately grew bigger. Ning Yan suddenly felt a creepy sense of crisis and couldn't even move.

Then Guan Ruoyu squeezed the five-limbed flower so hard that it screamed, and the five claws and fangs of the flesh hung down.

Ning Yan couldn't believe it:
"How come you have this thing?"

"Oh, when I came here before, I saw this little guy was quite cute, so I picked one and kept it. Do you want one? If you want one, I'll give it to you."

Guan Ruoyu stretched out her hand and handed it over.

Ning Yan quickly pushed him away.

Are you kidding? Do you think I can beat this flower?
The two discussed some more details, and the majestic ruins of Shinra appeared before their eyes.

……

Just as Ning Yan and the others stepped into the Shinra ruins, in front of a ruin in the middle of the ruins, a dragon lord with branch-like dragon horns on his head slowly absorbed the transparent fragments floating in the air.

Noticing that the information in the fragments was a little incomplete, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Then it stretched out again.

Forget it, it’s not a big problem.

Long Zun stood up, looked at the hundreds of strange shapes behind him, and smiled slightly:
"Is everyone ready?"

"The show is about to begin." (End of this chapter)
