Qianye stood still on the spot until the initial strengthening of internal organs was completed, and then slowly walked towards the forest. Along the way, he scanned the surroundings with the pupil of true sight to prevent accidents.
The unusually high gravity alone makes this world dangerous enough. Moreover, it also brought an invisible threat. Even if the strong human race came here, they still needed to protect their internal organs with force at all times. After all, their bodies were far less tyrannical than Qianye. This is quite unfavorable for the human race, and the consumption of force will obviously exceed that of the dark race.
There is no abnormality in the outer edge of the forest. Under the old trees, there is bare soil and moss, only some low grasses can be seen occasionally. It seemed that this was no different from the forests of the Empire or Eternal Night, except for one thing, almost all the species here were unknown to Qianye.
When entering the maelstrom, the most important thing is to improve one's own strength, and the second is to find rare resources. The first point Qianye is not worried, but the second point is a bit difficult. There are countless rare resources in the maelstrom, but most of the recorded ones are located near the entrance. In a high-gravity environment like the current one, there is no data at all. How can we identify what is useful and what is worthless
After walking for a while, something suddenly jumped in Qianye's vision.
Qianye immediately turned his head to look, and the thing disappeared immediately. But since Qianye's attention has already been drawn, don't even think about getting past it. Qianye walked forward slowly, taking every step carefully. After a while, he walked around an ancient tree and looked behind.
Among the intertwined roots of the tree, there is an unremarkable stone entwined. The stone is about half a meter in diameter, and the shape is quite satisfactory. The surface is covered with a layer of mud and moss. It seems that it has been here for an unknown number of years. If it wasn't for the anomaly just now, even if they were face to face, Qianye might ignore the past.
Qianye's pupils turned blue, and the pupils of True Sight moved with all their strength, staring at the stone.
Soon, Qianye discovered that it was not the stone that caused the force to change, but the moss attached to the stone. Qianye scraped off a small piece of moss with his fingernails, and his vision suddenly brightened. There seemed to be a raging flame burning in the gap of the moss, which was extraordinarily dazzling in this dark forest. Of course, it's not that it's really burning, it's the strong reaction of the force that produces this phenomenon.
It is unimaginable that a small piece of moss actually contains such a thick original force. The light of the original force in Qianye's vision quickly faded, and the moss repaired the gap by itself, and no longer leaked the original force.
Although the nature of the force is not yet known, this strange moss, and perhaps the stone itself, are obviously extraordinary. Qianye carefully dug out the stone from the roots of the ancient tree, and put it into Anduya's space. Unfortunately, Qianye intentionally cut open a tree root, but found nothing abnormal, at least in the field of force.
However, Qianye has gained a lot. Through this stone, at least he has mastered a way to discover unknown and rare resources. In addition, these ancient trees are not completely useless. Perhaps because of gravity, the wood of the ancient trees here is extremely hard, and Qianye would have to spend some effort to dig it with Dongyue. If these woods are transported to the empire, they will be the best shipbuilding materials, far surpassing the known woods, and their performance is directly comparable to those of the most advanced alloys. However, the cost of top-level alloys is high, and even the empire cannot afford to use them in large quantities, so they can only be used in the most critical parts and equipment. If a floating ship can be built using the wood here, then the performance may be unprecedented, only slightly inferior to the ancient ships of those big men.
It's a pity that these woods are too bulky, and Anduya's space is limited, Qianye can't use the precious space to store some wood.
Just when Qianye was about to continue exploring the forest, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart, and immediately climbed up an old tree, standing on the top of the tree in a blink of an eye, looking towards the sky.
The world inside the maelstrom is very strange, the sky is high and deep, and there are clouds, but there is no sun, and no other stars can be seen, so I don't know where the light of the sky comes from.
At this moment, a dark ball of light appeared in the sky, surrounded by streaks of lightning. A figure suddenly flew out of the ball of light and froze in the air.
That is not actually a sphere of light, but a portal into this world. It seems that after Qianye, another person has come here, but he doesn't know whether he belongs to Yongye or the empire, and whether Qianye recognizes him or not.
As soon as the figure left, the dark ball of light gradually disappeared. Obviously, this portal can only pass through one person.
Compared with the ignorant Qianye who came here, this person was clearly prepared, with the force shield shining around him, firmly protecting himself in it. It's just that although these methods can deal with most harsh environments, they have no effect on the current high gravity. That person didn't expect the gravity to be so strong, and with a cry of surprise, he fell to the ground like a meteor.
It's just that Qianye fell into the lake, but this person didn't have such good luck, and fell headlong to the hard rocky shore. There was a muffled sound, and the man slapped the ground firmly, Qianye's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he instinctively felt the pain for him.
Far away in the sky, there was another faint flash of light. Qianye's eyesight was sharp, and he could tell that another portal appeared, and a figure flew out of the gatehouse, and then fell to the ground as well. It's just that this person is obviously stronger. He adjusted himself when he fell to the ground, and flew up again after rubbing against the ground, and then disappeared into the distance.
Qianye pondered for a while, restrained his breath, jumped off the big tree, and sneaked towards the direction where the man fell to the ground. If those who come are from the side of the empire, they may need to lend a helping hand. If it is the strong Yong Ye who comes, then of course he must be killed while he is weak to avoid future troubles.
Winds and clouds gradually rose in the maelstrom, and Chaocheng was not peaceful.
The collapse of the holy mountain has ended, and the originally majestic holy mountain has been reduced to flat ground. The dark ball of light floating in the air is not only half the size of the original, but also becomes faintly visible, with dark lightning bolts shooting out from inside from time to time. Some well-informed experts know that this is a sign that the space channel has become unstable.
If the passage into the maelstrom is unstable, the risk of crossing the passage will increase dramatically. The passage in the neutral land has always existed, but no one has paid attention to it in the past thousands of years, because it is too unstable, and trying to cross the passage is tantamount to suicide.
At this moment, a strong man in his early thirties was standing in front of the entrance of the passage, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was full of tension. He was covered with several layers of battle armor layer by layer, and also wore multiple defensive props, wrapped like a turtle shell.
An old man patted him on the shoulder and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't panic, remember to deal with it calmly after entering, this is an opportunity that the whole family has spent fifty years fighting for, don't miss it."
The man nodded, and the tension on his face eased a little, replaced by determination.
"Okay, go, let me help you!" The old man pushed his back, and the soft force wrapped him, sending him into the tunnel.
But at the moment of entering the passage, the entrance of the passage suddenly fluctuated violently, and the surrounding dark lightning increased significantly. The man almost cried out, desperately urging the force, activating almost all the defense accessories.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but in the end he gritted his teeth and put more force on his hands, sending the man completely into the tunnel. The channel fluctuated more intensely, and dark thunder and lightning gushed out like a tide, almost weaving a thunder net in the channel! The man slammed into the thunder net in despair, and then the image disappeared, and he could no longer see the situation inside the passage clearly, only a desperate scream came from the entrance of the passage.
The old man's face sank like water, and his hands trembled slightly. Everyone knew that the image just now must be more ominous than ominous. The people around were all silent, under such circumstances, they couldn't even say words of comfort. Any kind of comfort is equivalent to sprinkling a handful of salt on the old man's wound.
The old man turned around abruptly and shouted, "Come on, come with me to see Song Zining!"
A moment later, in the living room of Song Zining's flagship, the old man sat down angrily, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he stared at Song Zining. In the reception hall was not only him, but also seven or eight representatives from other parties, including aristocratic families, imperial families, and even Yan Ding. But he was sitting in the corner, and he seemed to have recognized the reality that he was just a small and dispensable role.
It was not the elder of the aristocratic family who took the lead in launching the attack, but an old man from the imperial family. He stroked Wuxu's chin, and said in a soft and soft voice: "Seventh Young Master, it's not just our family who came to see you today. There are so many people. In fact, the things they want to ask are the same. Our family has a low position and a low position. Let me tell everyone first, how do you like it?"
Song Zining smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhang, but it's okay to talk about it."
Zhang Gonggong said: "Then our family will be straightforward. The number and order of entering the maelstrom, but each family has agreed in advance, and you are also present, Qi Shao. How can our family remember that there are no thousands of people on the list of entering the whirlpool?" What about Ye? Even the second batch doesn’t have him, right?”
Song Zining smiled unchanged, nodded and said, "Indeed, Eunuch Zhang remembered correctly."
Eunuch Zhang’s expression sank slightly, and he said, “Then our family doesn’t understand, why did Young Master Qi send Qianye into the tunnel first? If there is no change in the tunnel, it’s fine, but now it’s clearly as the old prince expected. One person entering the tunnel will become dangerous. Now the tunnel is extremely unstable, and it is impossible to enter again. Now there are two people on our first batch of lists who have not entered. What does Qi Shao say about this matter? ?”
Before Song Zining could speak, the old man of the aristocratic family slapped the table and shouted: "My nephew has just entered the passage, and it seems that there is a lot of danger! Our Lu family has accumulated so many resources over the years, the old man's nephew has been in the family for fifty years. The first day genius! This matter, no matter what, we have to give us an explanation, otherwise, our Lu family is not easy to bully!"
Song Zining shook his folding fan lightly, and said calmly, "Do you want me to give you an explanation?"
"Exactly!"
"Hmph, I'm afraid I can't justify it if I don't explain it?"
"Human life is at stake, this is not something we can get through."
Song Zining said calmly: "I told you a long time ago that the passage is already unstable and no one can enter. Who is to blame for your Lu family's insistence on fighting for a chance of survival?"
Elder Lu was furious, and said, "If you hadn't sent Qianye to the tunnel first, taking up a spot, how could today's incident happen!?"
