Chapter 1667: Chapter 1699: These Rookies Are So Troublesome
The influence of the Qin Family is terrifying. At this moment, on the other side, a long row of small benches is neatly arranged with a pile of armors, all of which are bronze armor, with surface textures wriggling, as if they have life.
Li Xiaobai recognized this armor very well. During the invasion of the Central Origin Realm by the Immortal Gods Realm back then, those monsters wore this kind of bronze armor, and he even snatched a few pieces.
However, the quality of this bronze armor was much worse than back then.
“This bronze armor is not exclusive to the Qin Family. Other forces also use this type of mecha, it seems to be the most common bargain goods.”
Li Xiaobai thought to himself and casually picked up a mecha, putting it on.
The feeling was just one word: trash, super trash.
“This thing is like it’s made of paper, you can poke holes in it easily. Even when I was a chore disciple, I never wore such lousy mecha,”
Wu Tianchou grumbled as he donned his armor.
“These are all defective products. The Qin Family’s disciples are vigorously rallying cultivators to form teams and enter dangerous places. Who knows how many people will die, and how many mechas delivered can be brought back complete is unknown. It’s impossible for them to give out high-quality armor; our roles are likely sacrificial pawns.”
Wu Dazhuang saw through things clearly, but it didn’t matter to them. They only needed an unremarkable identity to enter the dangerous land, then find an opportunity to kill all the Qin Family members while gaining some benefits during the exploration.
“Those leading the team should be the Qin Family’s core disciples, the mecha they wear exudes the aura of ancient beast types, quite extraordinary.”
Wu Tianlong pointed to a few young men and women at the forefront of the team and said.
There were four of them, three men and one woman. The three male disciples seemed to respect the female disciple, implying a high status within the Qin Family.
Their mechas were bright and lively, with powerful auras surrounding them, especially the mecha on the Qin Family’s female disciple, which was a dragon-form armor, with silver wings on its back, perfectly hugging her body and outlining a breathtaking curve.
This is a top-grade mecha, nurturing ancient species life, and capable of adapting and evolving with the wearer’s traits.
“What are you standing there for? Get in line quickly and prepare to set off!”
Seeing the four including Li Xiaobai standing stupidly in place, a young man at the front reprimanded harshly.
“My name is Qin Bai, just call me Brother Bai. This is Brother Qin Yuu, over there is Brother Qin Xiang, and in the front is the Immortal you see, our Qin Family’s direct lineage bloodline, Sister Qin Shuang. Today, we are heading to explore the Secret Realm, follow orders in all actions, or if something goes wrong, no one can save you!”
Qin Bai, clad in pitch-black armor, introduced the nearby cultivators.
“Yes!”
The cultivators responded in unison. Most of them were Loose Cultivators joining the Qin Family’s team, with limited resources and scanty information. The Qin Family was a prestigious noble family, surely knowing much inside information about the newly discovered Secret Realm. Following them made it easier to benefit and reduced unnecessary risks.
This was the true reflection of most cultivators’ minds.
“Move out!”
Qin Shuang, valiant and heroic, raised her longsword, leading the team to cross the broken warship and enter the Secret Realm at the rear.
“The main function of this mecha is to resist toxins, but the defensive power is too poor, and wearing it is utterly useless.”
“Exactly, if you’re not careful, it breaks and you have to keep repairing it to avoid arousing suspicion from others.”
“It’s hard to play with the youngsters these days.”
The group of four followed at the very back of the crowd, constantly complaining not because the difficulty was too high, but rather because it was too low, making it almost impossible to conceal their own strength.
A dragon passing off as an ant wasn’t an easy task either.
“This Secret Realm has something,”
Li Xiaobai saw stretches of white bones on the ground, this was a deadly place, unknown how many had perished here.
“It does have something, but not much. It’s probably a battlefield discovered recently. Such places have no real gain.”
“Good stuff must have been taken by Qin Tian.”
Wu Tianchou said lightly. Treasures found within the Ancient Battlefield were usually Magic Treasures used by strong ones before their death, or resources that exploded after their death. Generally, it was the people who first discovered the existence of the battlefield that reaped the most benefits.
The inside of the Secret Realm was no different from the outside, being an endless desert, only further in, it was tinged with a layer of blood-red.
Walking forward a bit, strong winds howled, and ghastly winds roared.
It seemed as if countless undead were wailing beside the ears, expressing their restlessness and dissatisfaction.
“There’s deadly wind up ahead. The yin energy here is too strong, in a few years, the deadly wind may transform into yin sha.”
Qin Shuang stopped, observing.
In front was a huge canyon, from which deadly winds were constantly pouring into the outside world.
The cultivators from other forces tossed a few sacrificial pawns forward for testing.
Before advancing a few steps, the fierce wind swept up a blood-red mist that stripped the cultivators of their flesh, leaving only bones in a matter of breaths.
“Halt!”
“This place harbors great terror; this deadly wind is too fierce, likely left by a powerful entity at death.”
“Look for an opportunity, see if we can take a detour.”
The scene was too eerie, causing the cultivators’ hair to stand on end, and they immediately retreated.
“Why make a fuss over such a small matter, truly vexing.”
“Don’t say that, they are the younger generation, it’s normal they can’t handle this.”
“These newbies are really useless!”
“What should we do? Killing here might be seen by the outside world; should we give them a little help instead?”
The group of four in the back discussed strategies. Now it wasn’t yet completely into the perilous realm, and what happened here could still be seen by the outside world. They needed to wait until everyone had passed through the canyon and out of the outside world’s sight to proceed with killing the Qin Family cultivators.
“Let’s give them a little help.”
Li Xiaobai took out a talisman and casually attached it to a cultivator in front. Instantly, that cultivator swapped places with a small stone in the canyon.
At the same time, Wu Tianlong acted, making a sword gesture remotely towards that cultivator. A mystical light flashed, astonishingly making the cultivator unharmed amidst the deadly winds!
“Wha- what is this?”
“Damn, who put me in here?”
“Why do I fear not the deadly winds, are they ineffective against me? I must be the chosen one, hahaha, my fellow cultivators, I advance first!”
The man looked exceptionally excited, his face flushed, and his figure vanished into the sandstorm.
“How did he manage that?”
“The mechas are the same, so how does his ignore the deadly winds?”
The crowd was puzzled, merely Loose Cultivators could not discern any special traits. Seeing someone seize the opportunity, they were anxious.
“He released the nature of the mecha. It was crafted from Hundred Beasts Type materials, crush the Heart-Protecting Mirror to release the armor’s potential to the fullest!”
Wu Dazhuang’s lips moved, using a secret technique to let everyone know the correct way to use the mecha.
Immediately, the sacrificial pawns tried it, significantly enhancing the mecha’s performance, indeed resisting the assault of the deadly winds, prompting a rush of cultivators into the canyon.
Qin Shuang pondered as she glanced at her team, then turned and moved forward.
“With help from an expert, let’s proceed!”
