Chapter 316: Cutting Off Mountains and Blocking Rivers, Harming Others to Benefit Oneself, the Corpse of an Immortal, Stealing From the Sky to Replenish One's Own Body

In the student team of the Fire Toad Academy and the Tianjiu Academy.

"What's wrong, Xingjiu?"

A woman in the team asked curiously, looking at Xingjiu who turned to look at the audience.

And the girl named Xingjiu was a congenitally blind person.

There were only whites of her eyes, no pupils.

But such a blind alien was able to walk in the middle of the Tianjiu Academy team.

And looking at the people around her, it seemed that they were very caring for her.

Obviously unusual.

Looking in the direction where Xingjiu was "looking", the Tianjiu Academy senior sister next to her soon saw Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye sitting in the audience.

Although Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye did not wear the school uniform of the Lihuo Academy.

But for the strongest academy in the southern area, the Tianjiu Academy naturally studied the list of players of the Lihuo Academy this time.

Among them, the names of Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were among them.

Although both of them were freshmen.

But among the ten people selected for the Lihuo Academy team, these two were undoubtedly the top three.

Especially Lu Chen, who was in the Jindan stage, impressed everyone in Tianjiu Daoyuan.

After all, in the previous Daoyuan competitions, there had never been a Jindan stage student participating.

Not to mention a freshman.

Therefore, when seeing Lu Chen appear in the audience, everyone in Tianjiu Daoyuan immediately felt nervous.

After all, they were determined to win this Daoyuan competition.

Although they didn't think that Daoyuan could defeat the powerful Lihuo Daoyuan.

But being noticed by Lihuo Daoyuan so early was completely inconsistent with their plan.

Even after seeing Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye set their sights on Xingjiu.

Everyone in Tianjiu Daoyuan was even more nervous.

Could it be that the other party had already noticed the trump card of their Tianjiu Academy after just one look?

However, this idea just came up and was thrown out of everyone's head.

They felt that things should not be as bad as they thought.

After all, Xingjiu's specialness was not known to even Tianjiu Daoyuan.

Not to mention that Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye are not students of Tianjiu Daoyuan.

Just the fact that Xingjiu has never taken action makes them feel that the possibility of Xingjiu being exposed is minimal.

Even so, the senior sister next to Xingjiu couldn't help but whispered: "Xingjiu, why did you notice them?"

Xingjiu thought for a while and said: "Nothing, just a feeling..."

A feeling?

Such a vague word made the senior sister next to Xingjiu a little confused.

But in order to protect their trump cards, the people of Tianjiu Daoyuan chose to leave quickly.

After all, if they continue to stay, they are really afraid that they will be exposed by the other party before they meet Lihuo Daoyuan.

You know, they are planning to take advantage of Lihuo Daoyuan in the South District Daoyuan Competition.

Because according to the practice of previous years, before entering the subsequent Hundred Academy Battle.

The four major Daoyuans in each region generally do not choose to put the main players up.

They all let the second team members in the team go up to practice first.

But even if they are only the second team members, they are still not comparable to other Taoist academies.

However, the existence of Xingjiu and other alien team members.

Let Tianjiu Taoist Academy have the idea of ​​making a splash, and the feasibility.

But all this is based on the premise that Lihuo Taoist Academy is not serious.

Once Lihuo Taoist Academy discovers the true situation of their Tianjiu Taoist Academy and becomes interested, and sends out multiple main players.

Even with Xingjiu as a trump card, their chances of winning are still less than 30%.

Thinking of this, everyone in Tianjiu Taoist Academy suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

I didn't expect that the people of Lihuo Taoist Academy would come to watch the competition of other Taoist academies on the first day.

Isn't it said that the people of the four major Taoist academies are arrogant and never take the people of other Taoist academies seriously?

With this heavy heart, everyone in Tianjiu Taoist Academy completely disappeared in Hanba Taoist Hall.

After these people left, Mu Xiaoye curiously asked Lu Chen: "Xiao Lu, the person you just mentioned should be the blind girl with antlers on her head in Tianjiu Daoyuan, right?"

Mu Xiaoye was very sure of her judgment.

Because among the ten people in Tianjiu Daoyuan, only that person had the weakest aura.

It was in line with what Lu Chen just said.

Lu Chen nodded, indicating that Mu Xiaoye was right.

"Okay, let's go back."

The match between Huochan Daoyuan and Tianjiu Daoyuan was also watched, and the new copy was also activated.

Lu Chen naturally had no reason to stay any longer, so he stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Mu Xiaoye stood up and followed him.

Although the two did not have any psychological fluctuations about the result of today's game.

But for the students of Huochan Daoyuan and Tianjiu Daoyuan who watched the whole duel, it was not the case.

The former did not expect that he would lose, and lose so badly.

The latter did not expect that he would win, and win so cleanly.

Around this unexpected duel, the students of the Dao Academy in Nanli City soon started a heated discussion.

But Lu Chen didn't pay too much attention to these.

After all, for him, the Dao Academy Competition was just a small episode.

It was not worth spending too much energy on it.

And compared to paying attention to the Dao Academy Competition, he was more curious about the new copy he had just activated.

[You have opened the new copy · Qianli Chidi, you have chosen the immersive mode...]

Hot, endless heat.

This was Lu Chen's first feeling after entering the dungeon.

He opened his eyes and found himself standing in the ruins of an uninhabited village.

The village was not big, with only about a dozen people, dozens or hundreds of people in total.

The whole village seemed to have just experienced a tragic forest fire, and charcoal left by the burning fire could be seen everywhere.

And in these charcoals, some white bones could be vaguely seen.

It was like a scene of purgatory on earth.

Lu Chen looked at all this and began to calmly analyze the situation of the dungeon.

According to the description of the dungeon, the source of the Qianli Chidi dungeon was a corpse of an immortal that suddenly fell from the sky.

Although the immortal died, it did not mean that his body was also at peace.

After all, let alone the immortal, even if Lu Chen, who was only in the Jindan stage at the moment, his body had reached the level of body transformation to a certain extent.

In a sense, Lu Chen's body was part of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

For immortals who far surpassed Lu Chen in realm, the effect would only be more exaggerated.

Therefore, the immortal corpse falling to the mortal world is not an opportunity for most people, but an unprecedented disaster.

Because the immortal corpse without control is equivalent to a pollution source that releases its own "Dao" all the time.

Most of the places where immortals fall will change the environment of this area into a landform that matches their own "Dao" after several years.

Qianli Chidi is such a situation.

Obviously, this place was not originally like the charcoal hell.

If Lu Chen's speculation is correct, the original Qianli Chidi should not be much different from other places. It is a place with dense vegetation, beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Because Lu Chen saw a winding dry riverbed around the small mountain village where he is now.

The bare peaks in the distance are full of charred wood left after burning.

This is the impact of the immortal corpse on the surrounding environment, which is commonly known as the "Dao Manifestation".

However, the Dao Manifestation is only one aspect.

The corpse of the immortal fell to the mortal world, and there was another major impact...

"The karma here... is so heavy."

Lu Chen walked to the village head and frowned to look into the distance.

In the eyes of ordinary people, although the sky in the distance showed distorted heat waves due to the scorching temperature, it was still normal and there was nothing unusual.

But in Lu Chen's eyes, it was completely different.

The sky that was empty in the eyes of ordinary people was full of fierce karma in Lu Chen's eyes.

These karmas were as if they had substance, quietly infecting all living things in the thousand miles of red land.

And the opposite of the karma in the sky was the dense death air on the ground.

If karma is the natural enemy of practitioners.

Then death air is the natural enemy of the living.

Staying in such an environment for a long time, even if you can overcome the various problems brought by the hot weather.

But the dense death air and karma will also make people physically weak and even mentally abnormal.

It can be imagined that there are probably no living people in this thousand miles of red land at the moment.

After all, let alone living people, even cultivators would have a hard time surviving in such an environment.

But the forbidden land for living people is not for dead people.

Lu Chen closed his eyes and soon found a strange place.

Then he opened his eyes, his figure disappeared from the spot, and rushed towards the place he sensed.

Thousands of miles of red land, in front of a dilapidated small temple.

A carriage stopped in the open space of the dilapidated temple, and the carriage was carrying an iron cage, in which many children about five or six years old were locked.

A dilapidated small temple in the wilderness, plus a group of small children.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is not right.

"Woo woo woo, mom, I want to find mom!"

"Wow!"

Listening to the noisy crying in their ears, the two Qiu State soldiers who were guarding the "tribute" looked annoyed.

Originally, escorting the tribute to the "Blood Flame Mountain" was already very bad.

Now they have to listen to so many children crying loudly.

Tension, fear, irritability, guilt...

Finally, the officers and soldiers next to the carriage were completely overwhelmed.

"Shut up!"

A young soldier roared, then raised his sword and hit the iron bars of the cage with the scabbard.

At this moment, the seven or eight children in the carriage were frightened and immediately quieted down.

They looked at the officers and soldiers outside the carriage with horror, as if begging them to let them out.

Although they had been mentally prepared, they still met so many innocent eyes.

The guilt in their hearts still made the officers and soldiers feel tight in their hearts.

But when they thought about the consequences they might encounter after letting these children go.

The young soldier finally made up his mind.

And repeatedly told himself that if he failed to complete the task.

The next time he was sent to the 'Blood Flame Mountain', he and his family would be among them.

Thinking of this, the young soldier finally calmed down and returned to the open space of the ruined temple next to him and sat on the ground again.

"Have a drink."

As soon as the young soldier sat down, the old soldier next to him handed him a pot of wine.

Without any hesitation, the young soldier picked up the wine gourd and drank a few gulps.

After a few gulps of strong liquor, the young soldier felt much better.

Then he put down the wine gourd and said in a low voice: "When will this kind of life end?"

The old soldier next to him said with a dejected expression: "Be content. If you knew what happened thirty years ago, you would know that the current situation is a blessing in disguise for us."

The vicissitudes of life in his eyes clearly showed that he had experienced a lot.

But these words also made the young soldier next to him curious.

"Old squad leader, everyone is very secretive about what happened thirty years ago. What happened thirty years ago?"

Hearing the young soldier's words, the old soldier hesitated.

But perhaps it was because the current atmosphere was too depressing, so he needed to pay attention in some way.

Or maybe the secret in his heart had been buried for a long time, and he couldn't help but say it.

So after hesitating for a moment, the old soldier whispered: "Some things are just for you to listen to, don't spread them around, and don't say that I told you, understand?"

The young soldier nodded, indicating that he would not talk nonsense.

After getting this answer, the old soldier sat up and began to talk about what happened thirty years ago.

"Thirty years ago, this place was not called Blood Flame Mountain, but a rich place called 'Youbo River' in our Qiu country."

"At that time, this place was not only bustling with people, but also famous for its wealth."

"But one day thirty years ago, everything changed completely."

"That night, blood rain fell from the sky, and a meteor fell from the sky and finally landed in this Youbo River."

"It was also from then on that the mountains and rivers within a thousand miles of Youbo River began to be cut off, and the mountains and rivers dried up."

"It's not that our civil and military officials have not thought about finding the reason, but no matter how many people they send here, they will eventually come back."

"Even some immortals came here after hearing about this and entered this place, but they eventually disappeared."

"Over time, our dynasty gradually gave up this place and listed it as a restricted area, not allowing anyone to approach."

"Even the immortals are helpless?"

The young officers and soldiers were a little bit unbelievable.

After all, in his opinion, the immortals are all-powerful beings who can go to heaven and earth.

But even they have no way to deal with this place.

Doesn't that mean that the existence in the Blood Flame Mountain is more terrifying than the immortals?

When the old soldier heard this, he didn't know what terrible memories came to his mind, and the hand holding the old pipe began to tremble uncontrollably.

"You, you are still young, and you don't know how terrifying this Blood Flame Mountain is."

"Let me tell you this, within a thousand miles of this Blood Flame Mountain, as long as it's night, there are demons and ghosts rampant, just like hell on earth."

"What we are doing now is just to satisfy the appetite of some demons here, so that they don't leave here and go to the county town not far away to make trouble."

"Only in this way can we get a little peace."

"Otherwise, once the demons here leave here and go to the county town."

"It won't take long before the entire county town will become the next hell on earth."

Just when the old soldier wanted to say something, the sun in the distance was getting lower and lower.

Seeing this, the old soldier hurriedly said: "Okay, it's almost time, we should leave too."

"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."

With that, the old soldier stood up quickly and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

He looked anxious, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to leave if he walked too slowly.

The young soldiers around him naturally followed him immediately.

As for the children in the carriage, they were left outside the ruined temple and ignored...
