Chapter 369 Entering the Forbidden Area, a Guess

Zhou You glanced at the monster indifferently, then weighed the storage bag and found that there were quite a few treasures in the storage bag.

After all, this guy is also a monster in the God Transformation Stage, so he naturally has a lot of good things in his hands.

It is very normal for him to take out these natural treasures.

Zhou You smiled: "Thank you for the gift, fellow Taoist. If I really become a prince consort in the future, I will never forget you."

If it were outside, Zhou You would most likely not accept his storage bag, and would not have a cause and effect because of it.

But this is Xutian City, the territory of the monster clan.

Zhou You would not think so much, and take as many things from the monster clan as possible.

There is no such thing as so many human relationships.

Anyway, he would not become a so-called prince consort, he came here just to get in touch with Princess Qianqian.

And if he did not accept the storage bag of the monster now, it would seem a bit abnormal and suspicious.

In this case, Zhou You would certainly not waste this opportunity.

He chose to accept the storage bag without hesitation.

Seeing Zhou You put away the storage bag, the monster smiled and the flattery on his face became more intense.

Then the monster took Zhou You all the way to the depths of the Ice and Snow Palace.

This time they did not go to Princess Qianqian's bedroom, but to the back mountain of the Ice and Snow Palace.

When they arrived at the entrance of the back mountain, the monster stopped and did not dare to move forward.

"Daoyou, the important place ahead is our clan. I cannot enter with my identity. You need to go there by yourself. Don't worry, there will be someone to pick you up in the back mountain."

The monster said politely.

Zhou You nodded, and without saying much nonsense, he walked directly into the back mountain.

Sure enough, after entering the back mountain, he saw that there were already several monsters waiting for him. After these monsters tricked Zhou You, they took Zhou You to move forward.

This time was strange. Zhou You was taken to a snowy mountain. There was a huge teleportation array on the snowy mountain. It was obvious that the teleportation distance was very far. There was no one else except some members of the Swallowing Sky Ancient Python clan.

Zhou You didn't see any other finalists, including Xiao Zhuoran.

He didn't even see the "Princess Qianqian".

There were no important figures from the Heaven-Swallowing Ancient Python Clan.

When he arrived here, the formation had already been activated. The huge formation was emitting an extremely strong light, and the top-grade spirit stones were placed in the formation, which made Zhou You frown.

It was obvious that this formation needed to consume a large amount of top-grade spirit stones to activate it.

And top-grade spirit stones were extremely expensive.

Although it was used as currency on the surface, almost no one would choose to use top-grade spirit stones as currency.

This thing is very rare. Only the seventh-level Xiuxian country has it, and the output of each seventh-level Xiuxian country is also very rare. Only cultivators in the Questioning Spiritual Stage can have it.

The spiritual power in each top-grade spirit stone is extremely magnificent.

It is even equivalent to a small spiritual vein.

Generally speaking, one hundred low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for a medium-grade spirit stone, ten thousand low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for a high-grade spirit stone, and one million low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for a top-grade spirit stone.

But in the market, no one would exchange one top-grade spirit stone for one million low-grade spirit stones.

Even two million low-grade spirit stones would be a bit of a stretch to exchange one top-grade spirit stone.

And now here, there are ten top-grade spirit stones!

Looking at those palm-sized top-grade spirit stones, each of them exudes a crystal-clear light, like a supreme treasure, fascinating.

This is the top-grade spirit stone!

Obviously, this giant teleportation array must use ten top-grade spirit stones to activate.

That is at least 20 million low-grade spirit stones!

Such a horrible price, is it just to help him teleport to the forbidden land?

At this moment, Zhou You finally understood why it takes such harsh conditions to want the forbidden land of the Swallowing Sky Ancient Python Clan!

This giant teleportation array needs to consume ten top-grade spirit stones every time it is opened!

Without meeting the conditions, the Swallowing Sky Ancient Python Clan can hardly afford such a price.

What made Zhou You suspicious the most was that he was just an outsider, but the Swallowing Sky Ancient Python Clan actually spent ten pieces of top-grade spirit stones just for him to enter the forbidden area?

This is too ridiculous!

The Swallowing Sky Ancient Python Clan almost wrote the words "ulterior motives" on everyone's face.

It was just a second-stage marriage, why not use any other method, but must spend such a huge amount of resources to enter the forbidden area?

If the son-in-law was selected, it would be okay to make an exception and let the son-in-law enter the forbidden area.

After all, the son-in-law is already a member of the Swallowing Sky Ancient Python Clan, and it is not outrageous to make an exception and let him enter the forbidden area.

But now, all seven finalists can enter the forbidden area. How many resources will it cost?

From the current point of view, it is obvious that the seven finalists should have entered the forbidden area from seven different places.

If all the finalists enter the forbidden area in the same way, it will cost 70 pieces of top-grade spirit stones. What a huge amount of resources?

Does the Swallowing Sky Ancient Python Clan have to waste these resources?

Moreover, this matter is too weird. Can't the seven finalists be teleported to the forbidden area together in this giant teleportation array?

Although this giant teleportation array consumes a lot of spirit stones, the number of people that can be teleported at the same time is also very large, at least more than 20 people can be teleported at a time.

Therefore, there is no need to waste so many spirit stones.

But now...

Zhou You could clearly tell that this was a bit strange.

"Fellow Taoist, these are the resources our clan has prepared for you. There are many elixirs and magic weapons in it, as well as a map. You only need to follow the map to reach the end point to complete the task. The one who arrives first will be our clan's prince-in-law. ! To ensure fairness, the seven finalists entered the forbidden area from different places, and everyone had the same starting point.”

A monster said very politely and took out a storage bag.

Guaranteed fairness?

The more this happens, the more unfair it is.

Zhou You secretly cursed, who knows where others teleported to, even if someone teleported near the end point, no one knows.

But Zhouyou doesn't worry about this.

For him, none of this matters.

Zhou You did not pick up the storage bag, but frowned and said, "Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate. I am also the true spirit bloodline of Dahuang. Are you doing this because you want to start a war with Dahuang?"

The monster beast said with a sly smile: "I don't know what fellow Taoist is talking about. It is precisely because fellow daoist is a distinguished guest of the wilderness that we, the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python Clan, are willing to entertain you with the highest standards. There is no way in this world." Do you know how many people want to enter the forbidden land of our Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python Clan?"

Zhou You sneered: "I can't enjoy the treatment you receive from the Sky-Devouring Ancient Python Clan. Please forgive me for my shallow luck. I'll take my leave now."

After hearing this, those monster beasts immediately understood that Zhou You had seen everything.

They also all know that any normal person can see the clues in this matter.

But they didn't stop it.

Instead, two figures emerged from the ground, blocking Zhou You's way.

"Fellow Daoist, are we, the Sky-Devouring Ancient Python Clan, the ones who come and leave whenever you want?"

An old man's eyes were cold, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of crossing the disaster. He stared at Zhou You with sharp eyes, and a majestic pressure came down, oppressing Zhou You.

And Zhou You's body was trembling slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly do you want to do? Even though the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python is the overlord of Xutian City, do you really think that I, Dahuang, are easy to bully? Do you want to provoke a fight with me?" A war in the wilderness?"

The old man said lightly: "My fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong. I have never thought about provoking the Great Desolation. I, the Sky-Devouring Ancient Python Clan, have never thought about becoming the enemy of the Great Desolation. It's just that you didn't say give up earlier. Now I'm waiting for you." Our clan has activated the teleportation array and you just gave up. Then our clan’s resources have been wasted. Who should we ask to compensate?”

After a pause, the old man said: "If you are willing to compensate my clan for ten pieces of top-quality spiritual stones, you can leave."

A flash of disdain flashed in the old man's eyes.

It seems like he has thoroughly enjoyed traveling around.

"you!"

Zhou You looked angry: "I am only a Nascent Soul cultivation base, how can I have ten top-quality spiritual stones?"

The old man said: "Then I have no choice. I, the Sky-Devouring Ancient Python Clan, cannot possibly lose these resources for no reason."

Zhou You gritted his teeth: "As long as I enter the forbidden area?"

"right."

The old man said calmly: "As long as fellow Taoist enters the forbidden area, whether you hide or compete for the position of the Prince Consort has nothing to do with me. I only need one result. As long as you enter the forbidden area, I can Go on a business trip."

"Okay! This is what you said!"

Zhou You looked gloomy, turned around, grabbed the storage bag, and walked directly into the teleportation array: "Activate the array, I will go there now."

The old man sneered. He looked at the people next to the formation. Those people didn't talk nonsense. They nodded and activated the formation.

As the formation was activated, a terrifying aura erupted from the teleportation.

Zhou You only felt an unprecedented power of teleportation burst out, followed by a sudden spin. Even with Zhou You's spiritual consciousness, he felt strong dizziness and almost fainted.

I don't know how much time passed, but the dizzying feeling finally disappeared. Looking around, I found myself in a mountain range, surrounded by lush woods.

Zhou You wanted to use his spiritual consciousness to detect, but found that his spiritual consciousness could only detect a distance of several hundred feet!

"What's going on? We can only detect a few hundred feet away?"

Zhou You frowned, vaguely feeling that this place felt familiar to him.

What exactly is going on?

He raised his eyes and looked around. The sky was so gray that he couldn't see what was going on above, and he couldn't detect it with his spiritual consciousness.

It was quiet all around, and there was no movement of any living beings.

Zhou You took out the map given by the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python Clan, flew up to the sky, carefully looked at the surrounding terrain, and determined his location.

"Judging from the map, this forbidden area is at least tens of thousands of miles wide."

Zhou You thought secretly.

He discovered that in this place, not only was his consciousness restricted, but even his flying speed was also greatly restricted.

And teleportation and movement cannot be used.

The space here is far more stable than the outside world.

This also resulted in him being unable to teleport and move.

"If we want to reach the place marked on the map with the current flying speed, I'm afraid it will take at least ten days."

Zhou You reasoned secretly, feeling more and more that this place was not simple.

He didn't hesitate, landed quickly, returned to where he was before, and began to think.

Zhou You's previous performance in front of the giant teleportation array was just intentional.

He knew that this place was extremely dangerous. Everything was a conspiracy of the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python Clan. They must have had some ulterior motive in tricking the seven finalists into the forbidden area.

Once they got there, anyone could see it.

Zhou You's eagerness and desire to leave were normal reactions.

What Zhou You wanted was to lower the vigilance of the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Pythons.

If Zhou You entered the giant teleportation array without saying a word, it would be too weird.

Such a person was either stupid or had other purposes.

In any case, the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python would notice him.

That was not what Zhou You wanted to see.

That's why Zhou You did those things.

Now that he had entered the forbidden area of ​​the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python Clan, Zhou You naturally relaxed a little.

After that, Zhou You thought about his current situation. He summoned a few black-scaled demon insects and threw the storage bag given by the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python Clan to the black-scaled demon insects without even looking at it. At the same time, he threw the map into the storage bag, letting the black-scaled demon insects find a random direction and leave with the storage bag.

Zhou You was not even interested in looking at what was in the storage bag.

It was also difficult to check whether there was any trick on it. Zhou You was almost certain that it must have been tampered with.

So Zhou You chose to throw those things to the black-scaled demon insects without hesitation to confuse the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python Clan.

Anyway, he had memorized all the routes of the map, and this kind of thing could be completely remembered with just one look.

After all, he was a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul, and his physical realm had even reached the Spiritualization Stage. He still had the ability to remember everything he saw.

After Zhou You sent the things away, he sat cross-legged on the spot, summoned the Hidden Spirit Bug, and let the Hidden Spirit Bug go in all directions to investigate the situation here.

Since the divine consciousness cannot be explored, this method can be used.

Zhou You is not worried.

As the hidden spirit insects spread everywhere, Zhou You began to guess the purpose of the Tiantian Ancient Python Clan.

Obviously, the Tiantian Ancient Python Clan’s purpose is very obvious, that is, to lead the seven finalists to the location shown on the map.

However, they have achieved a certain goal.

"Or... not seven finalists, but four finalists!"

Zhou You quickly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps, the three finalists selected through the audition are just a trick, and what the Tiantian Ancient Python Clan really needs are the four true spirit bloodline owners.

Obviously, they value the true spirit bloodline owners more.

Then, why does the Tiantian Ancient Python Clan need to lure the true spirit bloodline owners into the forbidden area and lead them to the location shown on the map?

Zhou You is very curious.

But now he can't figure it out no matter how he thinks about it, Zhou You temporarily put this matter aside, and then began to contact Xiao Zhuoran through the restriction. (End of this chapter)
