Barren mountains and deserted temples.
The dilapidated temple was overgrown with weeds, and the surrounding trees were crooked and covered with vines. It was deserted and no one knew how long it had been abandoned.
The San Shen Jue conceals one's cultivation level, and the black mask can change one's appearance. After Lu Bei put on the mask, he turned into a middle-aged man with a stern face.
His eyes are long and narrow, with a fierce gleam in his glance, and his thin and sinister face makes him look like a villain who will not survive more than three or five episodes.
I wasn't late this time, I arrived on time.
Almost as soon as he took a step forward, Qinglong stepped out into the air.
There was another figure traveling with them.
The man was dressed in black, had a rough and majestic appearance, a sharp gaze, was tall and strong, and was full of explosive power.
"Brother, I have been waiting for a long time, and you are finally here."
Lu Bei spoke in a sinister tone and looked at the man in black. Considering the effect of the black mask, this face should be fake.
Without exception, Qinglong's appearance is also fake.
Lacking integrity, it’s no wonder there is infighting.
"His name is Di Tu He, a senior who entered the industry before you. This time, he will explore the secret realm with you as your partner." Qinglong introduced the two to each other.
"Just me and him?"
"Yes."
Qinglong replied: "This exploration of the secret realm is considered an assessment. There are three other teams entering the secret realm. You two should do your best and don't embarrass me."
Lu Bei nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise correspond to the twenty-eight constellations such as the Heart Moon Fox and the Di Tu Raccoon. One can imagine what the formula of the other three teams is.
Although Qinglong revealed a lot of important information to him, when you think about it carefully, he almost always told him half and kept the other half hidden, and never revealed the core secrets of the Gravekeeper Organization.
interesting.
It gradually became interesting.
"The secret realm is in Xiongchu. Here is the map. You two can enter and exit using the ink-written code..."
Qinglong said a few simple words, threw a map to Lu Bei and Di Tuhe, and then his figure slowly faded away.
Xiong Chu's secret realm
Lu Bei's sinister expression remained unchanged as he pondered in his heart, referring to the time and place. If he guessed correctly, this secret place was very particular.
It will lead to national war.
The 2.0 version of the national war plot was caused by the Huangji Sect discovering a relic outside the Wu Zhou territory. They invaded the Xiong Chu territory but were crushed to the ground, and in turn were invaded by the other side.
The war of aggression turned into a war of defense, and the perpetrators were beaten with a fist.
During the national war, Xiong Chu once captured Yuezhou, changed the map overnight, and declared its ownership of Yuezhou.
Later, Wu Zhou brought in reinforcements to retake Yuezhou, but because the local immortal cultivation mountain gate in Yuezhou suffered heavy losses, unrestrained players rose up one after another.
In the subsequent 3.0 version, players occupied the mountains and became kings, establishing various sects. These idiots would feel uncomfortable if they didn't have some excitement every day, and Yuezhou became a mess.
The reasons for the players to fight are even more varied, basically looking for trouble, what are you looking at, calling daddy, is tofu pudding salty or sweet, how can cockroaches fly, who is more handsome, me or Mr. Xu from the north city...
But these are all later stories. At present, Lingxiao Sword Sect has not perished, and Tianjian Sect has also moved to Yuezhou. The whole Yuezhou is trembling under the power of Tianjian Sect. Although it is not strong in terms of military strength, it is also a hedgehog curled up into a ball. It is still unclear whether Xiong Chu can take over Yuezhou.
To be more precise, the Huangji Sect is now like a sick cat, lying in the capital with all its might and powerlessness. Its high-end combat forces have been incorporated into the royal family, and its minions have also defected to the side one after another. Even if it has discovered the secret realm, it has no energy to explore it.
Without the Huangji Sect taking the lead, this war would not have started.
wrong!
uncertain!
Don’t we still have this sect leader
Lu Bei suddenly realized. After sorting out the causes and consequences, he finally understood why the Huangji Sect discovered the secret realm in Xiongchu and why they were so bold as to target the big carts.
Qinglong found Zhu He and took him in as his lackey. He explored the secret realm with Di Tu He. Perhaps because he failed, he was unwilling to give up, so he led Zhu Xian and Zhu Mu to attack the secret realm, but was captured on the spot by Xiong Chu's carts.
Xiong Chu has coveted Yuezhou for a long time. Now that he has finally got a chance to stand on the moral high ground, he will naturally not let it go.
As a result, a national war broke out.
He flapped his butterfly wings, and his value was far greater than Zhuhe, so Qinglong found him, and this time he teamed up with Di Tuhe.
Thinking of this, Lu Bei immediately understood.
“Great!”
The corners of Lu Bei's mouth curled up and he let out a hearty laugh.
To be honest, although he was not active in version 2.0, he had paid some attention to the national war between Wu Zhou and Xiong Chu caused by the secret realm on the forum.
At that time, the secret realm had been searched by monks from both countries, and almost all the good things had been picked up. The players refused to believe in evil and firmly believed that they were the children of destiny, so they went deep into the map to look for any fish that had escaped the net.
Some people pick up opportunities, while others make strategies.
This is a hindsight strategy: if the monks from the two countries had not entered the secret realm, how would they navigate this map
It happened a long time ago, so Lu Bei couldn't remember it clearly, but he still had a vague impression that he was able to avoid many risky areas and pick up treasures before others.
"Having said that, the players are average in strength, and they can't explore whether there are opportunities hidden in the risky areas. This guide needs to be verified. You will lose if you trust me completely."
Lu Bei muttered to himself, and Di Tu He, who had been waiting for a while on the opposite side, frowned.
What an arrogant junior! He didn't even say hello.
Di Tu He coughed heavily and looked at Lu Bei with thick eyebrows and big eyes: "I am Di Tu He, you must be Xin Yue Fox, Boss Qinglong told me that you are as strong as me."
Hey, why do you come up and cut me for no reason
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows and said politely, "So you are Di Tu He. You are a fox and I am also a fox. We were one family five hundred years ago. What a coincidence!"
A raccoon dog is a raccoon dog, which is roughly equivalent to a fox. Together with Xinyue Fox, they make a perfect pair of friends of the same kind, a pair of accomplices who are in cahoots with each other.
Lu Bei is extremely enthusiastic about his new teammates. Everyone who knows the reason knows it. Even before She Xuan slept with him, Lu Bei was also very enthusiastic about her.
It is very useful for working in the fields.
Di Tu He did not respond. Although the two were teammates and were both trying to make a living in Qinglong Sect, in the world of immortal cultivation, honest people would have been eliminated long ago due to the survival of the fittest. With his level of cultivation, he had seen all kinds of situations, so how could he let down his guard just because of Lu Bei's enthusiasm
"Xinyue Fox, Boss Qinglong has ordered that you and I should join hands to explore the secret realm this time, but a dragon cannot do without a head. Boss Qinglong is not here, who do you think is more suitable to be the boss?" Di Tuhe's eyes were serious, and he was almost about to puff out his chest and raise his head to say that he was the boss.
"hey-hey."
Lu Bei grinned: "Di is the dragon's front paw, and Xin is the dragon's heart. A dragon cannot survive without a head, but it can survive with a heart, but not necessarily with claws."
"What's the use of having the will to survive? Without claws and teeth, you're just a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by anyone!"
"That makes sense. Then what should we do?" Lu Bei narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
Di Tu He laughed and raised his hand towards Lu Bei: "I am a rough man, I am used to being straightforward. In my opinion, why don't you and I have a competition, it can not only tell who is better but also make us familiar with each other, which will facilitate future cooperation."
"good."
Lu Bei raised his hand and held the Di Tu He, tightening his fingers slightly: "After all, he is one of us, and I have to give him face from Brother Qinglong. How about we stop here?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Di Tu He laughed loudly and suddenly tightened his five fingers like iron clamps.
Snap!
Where his hands were clenched, cracks appeared in the fragile space, black lines spread out, and energy turbulence was stirred up.
Lu Beifeng was calm and composed, and he applied force slowly and steadily. Di Tuhe kept smiling, confident in his own strength. "Brother Xinyuehu, I won unfairly. Next time, I will let you be the boss."
After saying this, his five fingers suddenly tightened, bursting out with terrifying force.
"No need for next time, this time will be enough." Lu Bei ignored the terrifying force that exploded, and the momentum of tightening his five fingers was still slow and unhurried.
Soon, Di Tu He could no longer hold on. The smile on his face disappeared and his expression became extremely solemn.
What a strong hand! This skinny guy is actually a physical cultivator who has returned to nature.
Careless!
The two men wrestled on the spot, abandoning all their skills and supernatural powers, simply resisting with their physical bodies. It turned out that Di Tu He had some skills. One of his hands was crushed into mud by Lu Bei, but he didn't even make a sound.
"Brother, your hand is gone."
"I can still fight."
"… "
Lu Bei rolled his eyes, let go of the Di Tu Raccoon, and summoned a ball of water to wash away the blood stains.
As far as the spying skills are concerned, Di Tu He is a Buddhist monk with great strength. It's a pity that I met him and am destined to be cannon fodder this time.
No, be a teammate.
Di Tu He returned in defeat, and looked at Lu Bei with an especially unfriendly look. At the same time, he was also quite curious, wondering what kind of face was underneath that gloomy face.
He kept his word and admitted that Lu Bei was the one in charge of this matter, even though he was not as skilled as others.
After confirming the priority, the two ran towards the east.
The secret realm is far away in Xiongchu. Although it is not the hinterland, it still requires crossing several lines of defense.
During the trip, they passed by several remote mountain gates for practicing Buddhism. Lu Bei and Di Tu He picked two passers-by and beat them up, showing their strengths to the other party.
Passerby: “…”
Coincidentally, Lu Bei is a physical cultivator and is good at close combat. Di Tu He is also the same. He doesn't care about anything and just attacks with his fists.
"That's terrible. You and I are both straightforward and rough people. We are not proficient in the art of formation. If we are tricked by the bad guys..."
Lu Bei glanced at Di Tu He and said, "There are three more teams. Most likely they will form teams of two like you and me. If we meet them..."
"Those who are proficient in formations should just grab them, and bury the rest." Di Tu He said decisively.
"What a coincidence, this lord, no, Fox thought so too."
The two came to the mountains, but there was no sign of the entrance to the secret realm.
Di Tu He took out the token, injected mana into it, and opened a vortex channel in front.
Lu Bei saw this and was secretly shocked. The gravekeeper really had a secret method to ignore the opening time of the secret realm and enter it freely.
So the question is, why did they choose to form a group at this time instead of earlier or later? Is there any deeper meaning behind this
The four teams can be seen as the internal discord among the gravekeepers, choosing the time point...
Lu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, judging that the gravekeepers were not omnipotent and that there were limitations to finding secret realms, so there were traces of their activities in some secret realms but not in others.
"Walk!"
