Text Chapter 30 The Devil’s Pit

"It's hard to say, I've been sleeping for too long, but it's definitely a good thing." The wine master avoided the point.

"We can only take one step at a time." Lin Xuan made a decision in his heart, and went to the mysterious magic pit with Tang Yu.

The Magic Pit is located in the Taihang Mountains. It is a black hole with a radius of more than ten miles and is bottomless. But some precious medicinal materials grew around him. Someone once tried to pick them, but fell into the pit and never came out.

Later, people discovered that no matter whether they are animals or people, once they get close, they will be sucked into the cave, and their life or death is unknown. On the contrary, some plants grow particularly well.

As time went by, no one dared to go there anymore, and it became a forbidden area. No one would take risks at all on weekdays. But this time someone found some brown stones near the magic pit and cut out some heaven-defying medicinal materials from them.

This news immediately alarmed many warriors. Now many warriors have gone to the magic pit. Even the disciples of Zixia Sect have arrived, which shows the value of the mysterious stone.

After leaving Leyang City, the two of them headed straight to the southwest of Taihang Mountain, which is the direction where the magic pit is located.

Entering the dense woods, Lin Xuan and Tang Yu gradually slowed down. Although the magic pit was not deep in the Taihang Mountains, it was almost there. Powerful beasts often appeared around it.

Coupled with the mix of humans and dragons, they had to be careful.

There were many rotten branches and leaves on the ground, which could sink a person's feet if they stepped on them. Fortunately, the two of them had good movement skills, so the soft ground had no effect on them.

The further you go, the more lush the trees are, and it takes several people to carry the huge trunk. The thousand-year-old trees, with their lush leaves, cover the sky, and are surrounded by vines, forming an intricate terrain.

In the distance, tigers roar and apes cry, and birds and beasts fly away. This is a paradise for wild beasts.

"Roar!"

A leopard with blue spots jumped down from the tree, its claws were like knives, and its white teeth shone with a cold light. Lin Xuan turned sideways and slashed out with his sword. He did not use spiritual power and relied on pure muscle power to split the leopard in half.

This is exactly the effect of the Golden Jade Body Tempering Technique. It has five layers in total. The first layer can nourish the body and increase strength. Lin Xuan's current strength has increased by about three layers compared to before, reaching nearly 5,000 kilograms.

Another reason why he didn't use his spiritual power was that it was too dazzling. Once used, it would be equivalent to telling others that I was here.

This big forest is no different from the sect. No one cares about the rules. If they disagree, it is normal for blood to be splashed three feet away. Lin Xuan didn't want to expose himself prematurely.

Bang! Bang!

The whole ground was shaking slightly. Lin Xuan and Tang Yu looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. The two of them rose up and landed on the tree trunk, hiding their auras.

The ground trembled more and more violently, and not long after, a giant elephant with a jade-like body walked slowly over. The elephant's legs were wider than ordinary stone pillars, and each foot could dig a deep pit into the ground.

"Ang um..."

The giant white jade elephant looked up to the sky and roared with such force that the surrounding leaves fell. Lin Xuan and Tang Yu had to use their spiritual power to block their hearing to avoid being deafened.

"Roar!"

A white-spotted black tiger as big as a bull jumped out from the grass and roared at the giant white jade elephant, as if to warn it not to come near.

boom!

The long trunk of the elephant was thrown out directly, like a heavenly hammer, smashing the body of the white-spotted black tiger into pieces. Then his nose rolled up, and all the flesh and blood internal organs were rolled into his mouth.

Bang! Bang!

The giant white jade elephant roared again, then dragged its body slowly away.

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. This level of ferocious beast was not something they could fight against. The two continued on, this time more cautiously than before, but the situation they faced seemed to be getting worse.

Some ferocious beasts that are not seen on weekdays seem to have come out, and there are also many monsters wandering around, making the already terrifying Demon Pit even more dangerous.

"No, how come there are so many ferocious beasts here? They are all deep in the Taihang Mountains!" Lin Xuan frowned.

"There must be something wrong. Is it related to those stones?" Tang Yu also said nervously.

"Well, there are some things we don't know yet." Lin Xuan nodded, "It's too dangerous inside, do you still want to go in?"

"I want to see my brother. I'm a little worried about him." Tang Yu hesitated.

"How many disciples from the inner sect have come?" Lin Xuan asked.

"I don't know the details, but I guess there are some people from each of the three major forces." Tang Yu thought for a while and said, "Many of the inner disciples are doing tasks in the outer gate, and some are fighting monsters on the front line and stay in the gate. There aren’t many people inside.”

Lin Xuan's heart was a little heavy. He originally thought that only the outer disciples would come, but he didn't expect that even the inner disciples would show up.

"I will stay with you until you see your brother." Lin Xuan patted Tang Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The two of them did not stop. It was already very far away from Xuantian Sect, and it was getting dark soon. If they could not find a place to rest before dark, they would be in danger.

Finally, in the evening, Lin Xuan discovered a cave. There was a small lake next to the cave, which was more suitable for resting.

Lin Xuan and the others organized themselves and decided to stay temporarily and move forward tomorrow. After all, this is a virgin forest and it is still very dangerous at night.

In the evening, the firelight danced in the forest. Lin Xuan hunted a wild boar, then skinned it clean by the lake and placed it on the fire stand. Tang Yu was like a greedy little cat, drooling next to it.

Lin Xuan watched from the side with a faint smile on his face. Suddenly, he frowned and looked forward.

At this moment, an exclamation came: "Brother, there is fire here!"

"Haha, great, we finally don't have to travel at night!" came a rough voice.

Lin Xuan sat upright and immediately held the long sword in his hand to ensure that he could take action at any time. Tang Yu also looked around vigilantly.

"We are the Blood Mercenary Group, excuse me!" A loud laugh came, and then five figures appeared in front of Lin Xuan.

This is a group of burly young men, about twenty to thirty years old, very young. Each of them had a package on his back, a sword hanging on his body, and a tired look on his face.

"I'm Du Ping from the Scarlet Mercenary Regiment. These are my brothers. They got lost in the mountains. I want to stay here for one night. I hope my brothers will be accommodating."

Lin Xuan glanced at a few people. These people had stern faces and shining eyes. At first glance, they looked like people who often lived on the edge of a knife. What surprised Lin Xuan even more was that this young man named Du Ping had reached the sixth level of pulse condensation, and several others were also around the fifth level.

"These people want to take action. There is no need to do anything. It seems that they just want to stay for one night." Lin Xuan thought.

"We, the children of Jianghu, should take care of each other when we are away from home." Lin Xuan smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"Haha, then we're not welcome!" Du Ping laughed, and then walked over with the brothers behind him.
