Douluo: The villain system, intercepting Tianmeng Ice Silkworm

Chapter 78 Underground World
As they walked, Meng Hongchen introduced the distribution of forces in the underground world.

"So, why are we here this time? If it's for a reward from a competition, then there shouldn't be any need, right?
After all, Mingdetang is a wealthy and powerful company, and they certainly have no shortage of rare metals. After all, if even Mingdetang can't get them, it is estimated that these people will be even less likely to find them.

Meng Hongchen chuckled and said, "Hey, who says you have to participate for the reward?
I'm bored after all, so I just come here to find something to do."

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's face suddenly turned dark.

Seeing Poseidon's expression, Meng Hongchen chuckled and said, "Well, although Grandpa gives me some rare metals every month, I will use them up too.

Moreover, although grandpa is the head of Mingde Hall, he cannot dispose of resources at will. After all, he has other people to support.

It is said that some time ago, the Ordinary Alliance organized a Soul Master Competition, and the reward was Dragon Rock Crystal."

"Dragon Rock Crystal?" Poseidon was stunned. This is a good thing. You know, Dragon Rock Crystal will only appear in the nest of a real dragon. It will only be produced after absorbing the breath of the dragon clan!

But now, in the eyes of the mainland soul masters, the True Dragon Clan has long been extinct. Even though those top forces know of the existence of Di Tian, they dare not go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Poseidon once asked Gu Yuena about this kind of thing, but Gu Yuena said she had never seen it before.

However, Di Tian knew that Longyan Crystal could no longer be produced.

The reason is very simple, that is, there are no low-level true dragons.

At his level, there is no way his own aura could be absorbed by those ores, so how could he produce anything?

The more he thought about it, the more Poseidon felt something was wrong.

This kind of thing can be called a rare treasure. It can even be used to make a ninth-level soul guide. Even if dragon rock crystal is added, this soul guide will have the breath of a real dragon.

As if she had seen through Poseidon's thoughts, Meng Hongchen said with a sweet smile, "I know, you must be wondering, how could such a treasure be used as a reward for an unimportant competition?
In fact, if you want to take the Longyan Crystal, there are requirements. It doesn't mean that if you win the championship, the Longyan Crystal will be given to you.

This competition has an organizing committee, which is composed of Xishui League, Pingfan League, and Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Each faction selects three people. Only when all nine people on the organizing committee are approved can they successfully obtain the Longyan Crystal.

If one person disagrees, the reward will change accordingly."

"I see." Poseidon nodded. This made more sense, but he didn't know how to meet the requirements.

Ordinary soul guides, even at a high level, would probably be unable to satisfy all nine people at the same time.

While thinking about it, the two saw lights lit up not far away.

Unlike what Poseidon had imagined, the underground world was not dark and bloody.

On the contrary, it is very bright, and the pedestrians are neatly dressed, with a faint smile always on their lips.

It is similar to the Mingdetang underground base.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a white robe and a smile came over. Seeing Meng Hongchen, he said in a very respectful tone, "Miss Meng, are you here to participate in the competition as well?"

Meng Hongchen nodded and said, "Has the game started yet?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and continued, "There are still five minutes left. If Miss Meng wants to join in, there's still time."

"Okay, lead the way."

The middle-aged man nodded and led Poseidon and the others to a soul guide elevator inside the hotel lobby. He then took out a soul guide communicator and said a few words before leading the four people into the elevator.

The elevator kept going downwards and stopped after about ten seconds. When the door opened again, a noisy sound mixed with a breath of drunkenness and wealth hit the face.

A single word immediately popped into Poseidon's mind: "Golden excess!" Everywhere was golden, even the mirrored surfaces, as if this underground world were made entirely of gold.

After the middle-aged man led the four people out of the elevator, they first passed through a magnificent circular hall, and then entered a large door in front of them.

There were two guards at the door. After seeing the middle-aged man, they immediately opened the door and invited them in.

Entering the door, it feels like you have arrived in another world. The light here is not as strong as outside, but much softer.

But the huge area made Poseidon look surprised.

This is a circular dome hall, and the top of the hall seems to be outlined by countless golden lines in a neat and regular pattern.

The huge dome provides sufficient light for the entire hall. Rows of seats extend neatly downwards, surrounded by a circle of escalators that slope upwards.

At the end of each soul-guiding escalator, there is a circular room suspended in the air. It is completely invisible to the naked eye as to how these rooms are suspended in mid-air.

There are nine such suspended rooms and soul-guided escalators, which form a vague circle.

In the middle of the hall, there is a circular platform. At this moment, on the competition stage, there are dozens of metal tables, and the light of soul guides flashes from time to time.

There are also some metal tables placed around the circular table, with a total of more than one hundred. Some of the metal tables are now empty.

The circles of sapphire velvet chairs on the outside were filled with people. They were all very quiet, watching intently the people busy at the metal tables in the center.

According to conservative estimates, the number of viewers exceeded two thousand.

From their clothes it could be seen that each of them was either rich or noble.

Everyone was waiting quietly, and everyone's eyes were eager to try.

"I'd like to ask, how many people are there in this competition?" Poseidon looked at the middle-aged man next to him and asked curiously.

"There are a total of 128 people. After the two of you come in, there will be 130 people." The middle-aged man said respectfully.

With Meng Hongchen on one side, naturally no blind person would dare to block their way. However, in just one or two minutes, the two of them arrived in front of a seat.

"Ms. Meng, I'll be leaving first. The match will start in two minutes. Please wait."

"Yeah." Meng Hongchen just nodded indifferently. She never had a good face towards outsiders.

After the middle-aged man left, Meng Hongchen rubbed against Poseidon's side again and asked quietly, "What kind of soul guide are you going to make later?"

Poseidon took Meng Hongchen's hand from his arm expressionlessly and said, "Keep it a secret."

"How boring." Meng Hongchen didn't care and lay on the table waiting quietly.

As a fifth-level soul engineer, she believed that she could easily win the competition. As for whether she could get the Dragon Rock Crystal?
She didn't know what to do.

Naturally, many people are jealous of this kind of treasure, but they dare not take action. Take Jing Hongchen as an example. If he finds the Longyan Crystal, he will definitely do whatever it takes to get it.

But this time it won’t work, because the three major forces in the underground world all have backgrounds.

Take the Xishui League for example. It is said that the power behind it is none other than the most mysterious force in the Sun and Moon Empire - the Holy Spirit Cult!
