Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

“…Something’s wrong.”

Lu Mu muttered.

The turbid blood seemed to contain an extremely evil aura.

This person was obviously injured by the chaotic and disorderly sword energy in the sword burial ground, but the sword energy seemed to have been infected by the devil's energy...

A woman who was waiting outside quickly came forward and supported him.

"Is Senior Brother okay?"

"Ahem..." He wiped the blood from his lips and spoke with difficulty, "No... I'm fine, I won't die..."

Mu Geng retracted his gaze and whispered, "Humph, this guy seems a little greedy."

"What do you mean?" Lu Mu moved closer calmly.

"At least seven or eight people have gone in to explore this sword tomb. They said that the sword energy in this sword tomb is layered, and it seems to be divided into five layers. The closer you get to the Broken Sword Mountain, the stronger the sword energy becomes. So far, the people who have gone in have only reached the second layer of sword energy, because if they go any further, they will definitely be torn to pieces by the sword energy."

"With his cultivation level, he can only move within the second level of sword energy, not even close to the third level."

Mu Geng pointed to the center of the sword burial ground, the hill made up of countless broken swords.

All the daggers in the sword burial ground were surrounded by an extremely rich sword energy. Even from a distance, Lu Mu could still feel the terrifying power contained therein.

As for the Broken Sword Mountain...

Lu Mu was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Can you really find any opportunity inheritance in a place like this?"

These words were spoken to Jinrou.

Jin Rou did not reply. Before she even entered, it seemed that the sword force had already aroused the Taoism in her heart. Seeing this, Lu Mu knew that she had to go in.

"Very good, I should go in and take a look."

Mu Geng stretched his arms and seemed to be fully prepared.

"Brother Mu, what do you plan to find in there?" Lu Mu asked.

"Nothing."

Mu Geng took a deep breath, and the green light on the horns slowly lit up. "The guys who went in earlier said that this sword energy can strengthen the body. Whether it's true or not, go and see it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Mu saw from the corner of his eye that the young human body cultivator also took action at this time. His iron tower-like muscles turned bronze. He exerted his strength deeply and crashed towards the sword force like a small mountain!

Boom!

The sword's force vibrated.

The physical cultivator endured the sharp pressure from all sides and stepped forward step by step until he was completely inside the sword burial ground.

Chapter 73: Inside the Sword Burial Ground

Lu Mu observed the process of others entering the sword burial ground and barely figured out that the sword energy fluctuations in this area were indeed the weakest.

It has the power of only about the fifth level of Pigong.

As for why it is so weak only here... it is a strange thing that makes people incredible. Could it be that the sword power in this sword burial ground has intelligence and knows how to leave a "passage" that is not so difficult for outsiders to pass through?

It is impossible to figure out these problems from an outside perspective.

"I am about to go in too. If Your Highness wants to take a closer look, I will be waiting for you inside."

Mu Geng had already gathered enough demonic energy. The pair of horns emitted scattered, flickering green soft light, which enveloped his entire body. He looked unbreakable, and even his brown skin was covered with layers of dark "shell", like hard leather.

"You are now saying 'Your Highness' very easily. Do you want to work for us in the future?"

Lu Mu looked at him with a smile, his tone as gentle as that of an elder.

Even if Mu Gengzhen was older, he was more than thirty times older than him.

Mu Geng stared at him with a relaxed brow, and after a while he sneered, "Your Highness, if you want me to join the Nine-Feathered Holy Phoenix clan, then show some sincerity."

Lu Mu spread his hands, showing a helpless expression: "Brother Mu, what do you want?"

Mu Geng stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly stretched out his hand, his palm facing him: "Give me... 500,000 spirit stones."

Lu Mu raised his eyebrows.

Five hundred thousand spirit stones.

This was not "sincerity" at all, because he had never thought that Mu Geng would want such a thing. Of course, the demons also used spirit stones. Even if the demons and humans had deep grievances, the two sides still had channels for communication, and business naturally had to be done. There was no human force that would not do the demon business.

Therefore, the demon clan has absolutely no shortage of spirit stones, and for the demon clan that can participate in the exploration of the ancient battlefield, it is easy for the clan behind them to come up with millions of spirit stones.

He thought Mu Geng would want a more precious treasure.

Of course, 500,000 spirit stones is not a small amount. Gu Yunxi, who killed Xia Jiuxie and was bestowed the title of "Marquis of Zhuiming" by the Emperor Xianhuang, only receives a monthly salary of 1 million spirit stones.

"Brother Mu doesn't look like someone who is short of money, so why do you only want spirit stones?"

Mu Geng made no secret of his intentions, saying: "I just want to take His Royal Highness's spirit stones and spread them around in other places for fun. I heard that it's fun to do so, but I can't spend the clan's money carelessly, so..."

He paused, "Please understand, Your Highness."

"..."

Lu Mu's eyelids couldn't stop twitching.

This reason...can only be described as simple and crude, but also reasonable.

Like to spend money?

It is not impossible.

I just didn't expect that Mu Geng, a monster with a big body and a quick mind, actually liked this kind of behavior.

"take it."

Lu Mu casually threw out a storage bag.

This bag has the same function as a space spirit ring, but it is smaller and can be stacked like a nesting doll inside a spirit ring with a larger storage space. It is specifically used to store spirit stones.

Mu Geng caught the bag steadily and put it around his waist. The smile on his face was so innocent that it seemed too innocent.

"Once I have scattered all these spirit stones, I will personally find His Majesty the Holy Phoenix and express my loyalty."

He patted Lu Mu's shoulder again, turned around, and rushed directly towards the sword energy with a fierce demonic aura, and disappeared into the sword burial ground in the blink of an eye.

"Forget it... Anyway, the money has been given, so it's up to him to do what he wants."

Lu Mu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

"It's rare to find a demon as honest as him."

The expression on Jinrou's face was truly amazing.

Firstly, 500,000 spirit stones was a huge sum of money she had never seen before. The Southern Region was barren, and human forces were fighting against each other for resources. Although the Wilderness Sword Sect was one of the most powerful sword-cultivating sects in the Southern Region, it was not rich.

Secondly, this foolish young master of the Qingfeng Mad Bull clan actually sold himself to the Nine-Feathered Holy Phoenix just for the sake of getting 500,000 spirit stones?

This gave her a little shock.

"Five hundred thousand spirit stones? That's money, right? It seems like it can buy a lot of delicious food?"

Chi Xin tilted her little head, as if wondering how many delicious dishes she could buy with the five hundred thousand.

"We should go in too."

Looking outside that "gate", three or four more people felt that the time was ripe and rushed into the sword burial ground. Lu Mu and Jin Rou exchanged glances and made a decision.

Jin Rou must go in. If the soft sword in her hand had a soul, it would have turned into two hands and feet by now, pulling her inside. Lu Mu didn't need a sword, but if the sword energy inside could strengthen the body, he would use it to strengthen his body. After possessing the Holy Phoenix Bone, his physical strength was no different from that of the demon clan. It would be even better if he could make another step forward.

Chi Xin...she would go in no matter what.

There's no way to just leave her out there.

"Be prepared, that place is not easy to get through, be careful not to get hurt."

Lu Mu patted Chi Xin's forehead. The petite girl who looked like she was only twelve years old immediately puffed up her cheeks, then exhaled sharply, and the blazing power of thunder and fire rolled up!

The surrounding monsters all looked sideways and then took a few steps back.

The three of them prepared themselves and rushed directly into the "portal".

……

As soon as they entered the sword burial ground, they immediately felt the force of the sword coming towards them.

Violent, chaotic, and without any order, there is not even any power that can control and guide them. In fact, this sword burial ground is always filled with fierce sword energy and strong winds.

"Tsk, this power is too chaotic."

As soon as Jin Rou came in, the sword wind blowing towards her was slowly cutting her dress, forcing her to hold up her sword wind to ensure that her clothes would not be torn so quickly. Her body was of course not afraid of this sword wind at all, as sword cultivators usually have very strong physiques.

Moreover, according to Mu Geng, this place is just the edge of the first level of sword power in the Sword Burial Land.

These sword winds can only threaten the weak below the Pigong realm.

Lu Mu and Chi Xin simply stood there without any protection. Lu Mu's clothes were a defensive treasure, while Chi Xin's little skirt was produced by Nishang Pavilion. It also had the defensive effect and was beautiful too.

She has many such skirts, given to her by Murong Xue.

So now Murong Xue has a very interesting nickname from Chi Xin, called "the rich white-haired sister".

Lu Mu looked up at the sky and entered the Sword Burial Ground. It seemed as if he had entered another different and alien space. The sky was brown and the ground was bloody, as if it was stained red by flesh and blood and would never change. Although the sword wind did not cause any harm, it hindered his vision, and in the Sword Burial Ground, his spiritual thoughts also became sluggish.

With his level of cultivation, his spiritual thoughts can only extend to a distance of about ten feet.

"This place... is a little strange."

Jin Rou frowned as she looked at the rotten broken swords standing on the ground. They looked like they would turn into dust if touched. A thin black mist was spreading over those swords!

There is also a strange fishy smell.

Chapter 74: Pollution

"It's definitely weird."

Lu Mu's tone was more determined than hers.

"These swords are the nodes of the formation." He spoke slowly, "This sword burial ground is actually a huge formation. However, as time goes by, only the center of the formation has the original power."

Lu Mu didn't have much knowledge of battle formations, and he didn't know how to set up a spiritual formation, but as soon as he entered the sword burial ground, he already felt something was wrong.

This place is actually like a microcosm of the entire ancient battlefield in the Southern Region.

There is a large defensive barrier in the ancient battlefield, and this sword burial ground also has a huge sword barrier. However, the one that the large defensive barrier is trying to suppress is one of the four great generals under the throne of the Mother Goddess of Extraterritorial Space. So what is being suppressed here?

Jin Rou slowly tightened her grip on the hilt of the sword. This place was too chaotic and disorderly, and she already had a bad feeling.

"The sword power here is not strong enough. I need to go deeper. Maybe within a few hours, I will be able to make a breakthrough."

She looked towards the depths of the sword burial ground. The sword power there was even stronger. If she could use this to make a breakthrough, it would be extremely beneficial for her future advancement to the Source Realm.

Moreover, there was an indescribable weirdness in this sword burial ground, and Jin Rou did not want to stay any longer.

"I'm leaving first, so hurry up."

As she spoke, she flew against the sword wind and quickly entered the depths of the sword burial ground.

Lu Mu snapped his fingers, and a Shura thought seed flew out quickly and stuck tightly to her body.

This way you won't have trouble finding people.

"Brother Lu, where are we going next?"

Chi Xin looked around and asked, "Should we move forward?"

"Yes." Lu Mu nodded, "The deeper we go, the better. The stronger the sword power, the greater our gains will be."

Lu Mu and Chi Xin flew forward side by side. After about a quarter of an hour, the sword wind had become quite strong, with the power of a full-strength attack at the third level of the Pi Palace Realm. After another half an hour, the sword wind here had changed. It was not known whether it was the sword energy and strong wind that were raging. On the contrary, it seemed calmer here. However, instead, there was a sharp feeling that lingered around their skin.

It even caused Lu Mu some stinging pain.

They entered the second level of sword power.

"Brother Lu...I always feel itchy."

Chi Xin touched her arm and said with a frown.
