Chapter 172 Entering the Secret Realm for the First Time
Before he finished speaking, Niu Da led a few people around him and rushed into the vortex like an arrow from a bow, with extremely fast movements.
Seeing this, the others naturally didn't want to be left behind, and they all followed at top speed. Because everyone knew in their hearts that there was no way to know how many treasures were in this vortex. If they hesitated even a little bit, someone else would get there first and take the treasure for themselves.
At this time, Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun were still standing steadily in their original places, and did not enter the vortex with the crowd.
The two men looked calm and composed, without any sign of anxiety, as if they didn't care at all about the fierce battle before them.
Like them, Qi Miao and Duan Xixi also chose to stay where they were.
The reason why Qi Miao did not set off immediately was because he would rather wait for Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun to act together. Among this group of people, the one he trusted the most was Lin Xian'er.
In the end, the only four people who had not yet entered the secret realm were Lin Xianer, Xie Qijun, Qi Miao and Duan Xixi.
Lin Xian'er glanced at Qi Miao beside her nonchalantly, thinking to herself: Is this guy going to pester me again?
So, she shouted at Qi Miao with an expressionless face, "Qi Miao, you guys go first."
However, when Qi Miao heard this, his face was full of resentment, and he looked at Lin Xian'er pitifully, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
He muttered to himself: Humph, this heartless guy, why is he always thinking of getting rid of me? Although other than the Grand Master, the other fellow disciples in our Tianji Sect are indeed not very capable in some aspects and will occasionally hold us back, I also have real skills, okay?
Thinking of this, Qi Miao was not convinced anymore. He said to Lin Xian'er, "Master Lin, let's follow you."
At this time, Duan Xixi, who was standing by, could no longer hold back. She pleaded directly, "Master Lin, Qi Miao and I had originally planned to return to the sect with our fellow brothers. It's such a pity... Alas."
At this point, Duan Xixi sighed helplessly and continued to explain, "It's all Senior Brother's fault. I don't know if he had an upset stomach or what, but he suddenly had diarrhea. It was so severe that he almost collapsed. As a result, the two of us were tragically left behind by the other brothers. Junior Senior Brother Lin, please do us a favor and take us in with you. We will definitely not be a burden."
Oh my! This is such a headache! You know, that senior brother, although his own strength is mediocre, his curiosity is simply insane. It's like he's under a spell, and he insists on following me around and joining in the fun.
Duan Xixi had no way to deal with this. After all, once this senior brother made up his mind, no one could change it. Helplessly, she could only let him follow her and come over together.
Of course, Duan Xixi herself was also deeply attracted by the rare treasures hidden within the secret realm. Who wouldn't want to possess those rare treasures to enhance their cultivation and strength? So, her decision to follow in wasn't entirely due to her inability to persuade the senior brother.
Lin Xian'er, who was standing by, was silent for a moment before she said, "Let's go together for now."
Upon hearing this, Duan Xixi and Qi Miao were overjoyed, secretly delighted. Hehehe, with someone as formidable as Lin Xian'er by their side, their adventure would surely be safe and smooth. Even if they didn't obtain any particularly precious treasures, at least they could get a little something and have some broth.
So, the four of them walked together and slowly entered the secret realm.
When they just stepped into the secret realm, the scene before them was shocking.
The land, once supposedly fertile and rich, now looked as if it had been gnawed by vicious dogs, pitted and devastated. Seeing this, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but frown, her lips twitching slightly as she muttered, "These cultivators are quite arrogant. They won't let go of any treasure. They're simply plucking feathers from passing geese."
[Tongzi, where is the Phoenix blood? ]
[Host, you just need to keep heading east to find it. It's next to a volcano.]
Hearing this, Lin Xian'er was stunned, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but mutter inwardly, "Uh... which way should I go east?"
To be honest, Lin Xian'er had a real headache when it came to discerning directions. While she wasn't completely directionless or completely lost, she'd often find herself at the wrong exit from the same subway station several times back in the modern era.
Whenever she thought of this, she felt helpless and even a little speechless.
The system seemed stunned by Lin Xian'er's sudden question. After a noticeable pause of several seconds, it slowly replied, "Host, don't worry. Just follow the direction I indicate."
So, for the next period of time, Lin Xian'er led the other three people and walked towards the east.
Duan Xixi and Qi Miao were very busy along the way. Whenever they saw some precious spiritual herbs or something like that, they would quickly collect them. However, what was strange was that apart from harvesting these spiritual herbs, the four of them didn't find any other rare treasures.
Not only that, what surprised them was that the other cultivators who also came to search for treasure did not choose to come in the east direction.
At this moment, the immortal cultivators that Lin Xian'er and others were thinking about had basically gathered in this place in the west.
When they first entered this mysterious secret realm, they were ruthless at the entrance and uprooted all the spiritual herbs growing there.
But at this moment, an extremely strong aura suddenly surged from the west. This aura was not only incredibly powerful, but also carried a chilling, sharp edge. Upon noticing this, the cultivators exchanged glances, then without hesitation, all rushed towards the west.
However, as the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, so misfortune never comes singly. Shortly after setting out, these anxious cultivators encountered a series of unexpected situations. Some were unlucky enough to encounter powerful third or fourth level spirit beasts, being left in a state of panic by their ferocious attacks. Others were inexplicably struck by a fierce thunderbolt, instantly becoming utterly battered. Even worse, some were trapped in a illusory mirage, unable to extricate themselves and completely losing their way.
