Chapter 215: Going deep into the forbidden area, [Sand Island] is shaken!
After half a night of traveling.
The full moon still hung high in the sky, but the night began to disperse quietly, and the sky became a little hazy.
The place where Sha Jingjing brought Xia En was located several kilometers behind their tribe’s gathering place.
The terrain here is extremely steep, and the peaks on both sides are extremely high.
There is no vegetation on it, and the exposed mountain is deep yellow with dark red color, looking like mottled blood stains.
But from a distance, these mountains cannot be seen. Only when you get close to a certain range will they suddenly break into your field of vision.
Obviously, some kind of special hidden secret has been cast on the environment here, which can deceive most people's perception.
Xia En also vaguely noticed that there were signs of distortion in the space nearby, and many places were contrary to common sense.
“This is it.”
Sha Jingjing took Xia En to the foot of two cliffs.
There is a very narrow corridor in front of you, and only two people can walk side by side.
In the corridor, there was a pressure that made people's hearts palpitate.
There seems to be some terrible monster hiding deep in the corridor.
“This is the forbidden land of our clan and the location of the [Norwich Treasure].”
"A long time ago, we went deep into this place several times to explore the treasure, but all failed and caused a lot of casualties."
"As time goes by, the high priest will not let us enter here."
“Only when the tribe holds a coming-of-age ceremony, will newly-adult boys and girls come to the forbidden area to accept the test.”
Tracy, who was following Xia En, asked curiously: “Coming-of-age ceremony? "
"I remember that the elves also have adult ceremonies."
"The elves who have reached their age will be taken to the Elf Mother Tree, and the Queen will personally wear a crown woven from the leaves of the sacred tree to receive the blessing of the Mother Goddess!"
"...Elves?"
Sha Jingjing said with some embarrassment: "This is the first time I have heard of the existence of this race."
"However, our [Yongyue Clan]'s coming-of-age ceremony is far better than yours. It's cruel and dangerous."
Her expression was sad but strong, so Tracy didn't dare to ask any more questions.
At this time, Xia En said: "Miss Sha Jingjing, just send it here."
"The next road is up to us."
Xia En Although he didn't know the specific circumstances of the Yongyue Clan's coming-of-age ceremony, according to his intuition, there must be great danger hidden in this narrow corridor.
Sha Jingjing is willing to bring them here, which is already considered a kindness. There is no need for her to put herself in danger again.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the silver wolf girl shook her head firmly.
"I also want to enter the forbidden area together."
"No matter what, our family has a great connection with this treasure."
"At least... I also want to take a look at it. What is it and why have so many of my kind been killed?”
On the way here, Sha Jingjing had already made up her mind and would not waver easily, she continued.
“Furthermore, I just had a coming-of-age ceremony some time ago, so I have some understanding of the situation in the forbidden area.”
"Take me with you, it will definitely be helpful for you to explore the forbidden area."
Sha Jingjing said so, Xia En stopped trying to persuade her, and just said: "Okay, let's go."< br>
Immediately, a group of three people walked towards the corridor with a goblin.
As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Xia En noticed that his body was a little heavier.
He was slightly startled and quickly concluded that the gravity field in the corridor had become stronger again.
Moreover, the deeper you go into the tunnel, the heavier the pressure becomes.
Sha Jingjing whispered from the side: "This is the first test of the forbidden area. The tribesmen with poor physical fitness will not be able to reach the end of the tunnel."
"But there are also tribesmen who use it to help. Heavy pressure tempers the body.”
This pressure is enough to make it difficult for ordinary people.
But for physically strong Mysteries like Xia En, An and Sha Jingjing, it is still within the bearable range.
The only one who looked quite embarrassed was Tracy, who was lying on Shane's shoulder.
She can't even fly now.
While moving forward, Xia En was also silently observing the scenery in the corridor.
The ground here is extremely solid, and its density is probably no less than that of alloy.
But after walking for a while, Xia En saw a few clear footprints on the ground.
There is also a faint, fresh smell of blood remaining in the air.
Seeing this, Sha Jingjing's expression changed slightly: "Someone entered the forbidden area before us!"
Xia En was not surprised by this.
Manpower from various forces have been coming to [Sand Island] for some time. No matter what means are used, some people will definitely be able to find this forbidden land.
Just...
This smell of blood reminded Xia En of Twilight of the Vampire Clan.
Moreover, even Xia En has to admit that with Twilight's strength, if she is allowed to enter the forbidden area first, the probability of her getting the treasure is extremely high!
Thinking of this, Xia En couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure.
“Fortunately, judging from the freshness of the smell of blood, it shouldn’t have been long since she entered the forbidden area, and there is still a possibility of overtaking.”
“The more times like this, the more Don’t be impatient.”
Xia En took two deep breaths, calmed down quickly, and moved forward at his own pace.
I don’t know how long we have been walking.
When he came to the end, even Xia En felt that his body was extremely heavy and he felt a little bit tired.
The only good news is——
[Comprehensive quality: 4.6→4.61! 】
Under the tempering of this powerful gravity, part of the medicinal effect of [Moon Essence] previously accumulated in Xia En's body was absorbed.
Unfortunately, the current situation is urgent and there is no time for him to continue to use gravity to exercise his body.
Soon, Xia En took another step forward, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.
An empty and spacious space came directly into their field of vision.
What appeared in front of them was a terrain similar to a valley basin, with tall and rough rock walls on all sides.
In this gravity environment, it is almost impossible to climb out of this valley with bare hands.
Flying is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
However, Xia En also noticed that there was a black mist in the air around him.
This kind of black mist is actually somewhat similar to the wave of darkness when [Emerald Island] encountered [Wrath of God], and its shielding on perception is extremely powerful.
With Xia En's perception, he can only penetrate more than ten meters.
Anywhere further away is a blur.
Boom——
At this moment, a dull sound like an ancient war drum suddenly sounded.
Hearing this voice, Xia En's whole body felt numb, his energy and blood surged, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Somewhere, there seemed to be a terrifying will that briefly set its sights on him.
Xia En suddenly realized that it was not the sound of drums, but the beating of the heart!
Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath the group’s feet continued to tremble, as if an earthquake had been triggered.
In fact.
Not only the area where Xia En and others are located, but also the indigenous people and outsiders on the entire [Sand Island] heard this heartbeat and felt the vibration of the ground.
Even the pirates who have experienced many battles can't help but exclaim. "What happened?"
"Why was there a sudden earthquake? That muffled sound just now was..."
Among the pirates, there was an ugly man with scars all over his face, almost disfigured, but his eyes were bright.
“The direction from which the heartbeat comes is the location of the treasure!”
“Brothers, follow me!”
The pirates nearby all responded: "Yes, Captain Gal!"
This disfigured man is none other than the fifth-level great pirate "Madman" Gal!
Beside him, there was also a strange man wrapped in bandages, his body constantly exuding the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder.
Under the bandage, a low, strange laugh could be heard from time to time.
The other pirates were extremely afraid of this man and did not dare to get within ten meters of him.
Only Garr patted the bandaged man's shoulder nonchalantly and whispered: "Leo, I will make you explode this time."
...
On the coast.
Carles and Huiyun also led several colleagues off the ship.
Due to the special environment of [Island of Sand], ordinary secret travelers are greatly restricted. Not only can they not exert much combat power, they will also become a burden.
Therefore, Carles only brought five or six elite men.
At this moment, they all heard the dull heartbeat.
Carless was okay, her body was made of steel and she didn’t react much.
But Huiyun and the others didn't feel so good, and they all had an unspeakable feeling of palpitations.
Huiyun looked solemn and murmured: "Who is the owner of this heartbeat?"
Carles, who knew some of the inside story in advance, was not too surprised and just sighed.
"That's true. No wonder there are so few federal strongmen willing to participate in this operation."
"Huh?"
Hui Yun said in surprise: "Carles "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Karlais did not hide anything, and said frankly: "Aren't you curious why I am the only fifth-level secret traveler in the Federation this time? Island]?”
"Even the vampires have sixth-level Twilight to take action, and there will only be more sixth-level strong men in the Federation."
Hui Yun was startled and guessed: "Isn't it because of [Sand Island] "A special restriction?"
Karlais shook his head: "That's just a factor."
"Furthermore, even if the restriction of [Sand Island] limits the strength of the Mystic Path. In the fifth level, it is not difficult for the federation to select a group of fifth level experts, right?"
"The real reason behind this is actually..."
"The Federation doesn't pay that much attention to the [Norwich Treasure] in [Island of Sand]."
Hui Yun thought of the heartbeat just now and couldn't help but ask: "What is the treasure here? What?”
“I can only say that this treasure is not just money or equipment.”
Carles continued: “It may be valuable to an individual. But for the entire federation, it is not particularly valuable."
"What the federation cares more about than this treasure that has been exposed is actually the treasures that are not known to the public."
Hui Yun nodded clearly.
[Norwich Treasure] in [Sand Island] is only a part of [Norwich Treasure].
Compared with competing with these hyena-like pirates, merchants, and vampires, the Federation will naturally send more manpower and material resources to receive the treasures that only they know about.
……
Not far away from Carles and others.
The black-haired woman wearing a nun's uniform landed on the [Sand Island] alone.
Hearing this heartbeat, she couldn't help but raise her head and look towards the center of the island, a strange emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes.
……
Indigenous tribes in the valley.
The old high priest felt the shaking of the earth and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Lord Holy Son, it must be the arrival of Lord Holy Son to cause it to awaken!"
He knelt down in the direction of the forbidden area, pressed his forehead to the ground, and prayed with the most pious attitude.
“May the moonlight in the sky bless you and open up a new future for us...”
……
……
When the shaking subsided.
Xia En finally clearly felt the powerful aura deep in the black mist.
This is not because of how powerful Xia En’s perception is, but because the aura is so huge that it covers the entire forbidden land!
If Shane's breath is a pond, then it is a deep sea!
The heartbeat that shook the island came from the black mist.
"What was that just now?"
Xia En frowned slightly.
As soon as he walked out of the corridor, there was such a strange movement in the black mist. Could this be a simple coincidence?
Besides, Sha Jingjing couldn't help but feel shocked.
In her memory, there had never been such a change in the forbidden area, let alone a heartbeat that shook the entire island.
"Is this because of Captain Xia En?"
"Is he really the prophesied Holy Son?"
Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En intently, as if she wanted to tell He's different from everyone else.
But at this moment, a stone next to her feet suddenly rolled, and a black shadow rushed out from below, shooting straight towards Sha Jingjing!
The [Great Dark Sky] around Xia En was activated, directly immobilizing this dark shadow with heavy pressure.
This is a strange-looking insect, with a body like a caterpillar, but a sharp thorn as long as a finger growing out of its head.
It seems to be filled with ferocious poison.
The body of the insect kept struggling and bouncing, and every time it curled up and squirmed, Xia En felt full of strength.
The speed it shot just now was as fast as a bullet.
This is in a forbidden area with extremely strong gravity. If it were placed outside, the power of one flying shot would be enough to penetrate the human body.
Seeing this little bug, Sha Jingjing quickly straightened her attitude, observed her surroundings vigilantly, and explained at the same time.
“Most of these bugs come from the desert. After entering the forbidden area, they undergo strange transformations and are very dangerous.”
“In addition to bugs, there are many other mutated creatures here. , it can be regarded as the second test in the forbidden area.”
As if to confirm Sha Jingjing’s words, not long after, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly approached from the black mist.
It’s a wild wolf!
Compared to the tiny bug, the mutation of this wild wolf is more obvious.
Most of its flesh and blood had rotted away, and its bones were directly exposed to the air, emitting bursts of putrid smell, which blended with the surrounding black mist.
Its state is like being between life and death, making people instinctively feel uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Xia En frowned even deeper.
The appearance of this wild wolf inexplicably reminded him of the image of the [Apostle of Filth and Chaos] on the [Emerald Island].
Is there any connection between the two?
"Be careful, this is the Death Mist Wolf! It will..."
Before Sha Jingjing finished speaking, the rotten wild wolf brought out a gust of evil wind and headed towards Xia En !
