Xia Lan's expression was solemn. "You shouldn't underestimate forbidden grounds, nor should you have said those words just now."
"My grandfather said something similar before entering the Misty Valley."
"But..."
"He never returned."
Her face was filled with sorrow as she spoke.
When she was eight years old, her father went hunting and accidentally wandered into the Misty Valley.
Her grandfather was anxious upon hearing this.
He boasted aloud, then went to the Misty Valley alone.
Regrettably.
Once inside, he vanished as if from thin air.
Even after they shouted for a long time outside, there was no reply.
Chen Nan didn't say much more.
Perhaps Xia Lan's grandfather had boasted before entering the Misty Valley, but was he the same as her grandfather?
With his strength.
There were absolutely few places in the Three Realms that could trap him.
"Let's go, enter the Misty Valley!" Quinn immediately cast a spell and appeared on the ground.
At this moment.
They were more than five hundred meters away from Shi Wu and the others.
Seeing Quinn and the others appear, Shi Wu let out a cold laugh. "I thought you would stay hidden underground forever."
Quinn smiled. "Don't you want to kill us? If so, then come. As long as you can catch up to us, our lives are yours to take!" With that, he quickly flew towards the Misty Valley.
The two groups maintained a distance of over five hundred meters.
Until a valley shrouded in mist appeared ahead.
Shi Wu let out a scream. "Damn it, are you planning to enter this forbidden ground?"
He hadn't expected.
These people would rather die than surrender to him.
Was he really that bad?
Was his character truly that poor?
"Shi Wu, you'd better pray I die in the Misty Valley."
"If I come out, I will certainly take your head."
Quinn let out a furious roar and led Chen Nan and the others into the Misty Valley.
"Boss, what should we do?" a young man asked Shi Wu nervously.
Shi Wu kicked him. "What to do? What to do? Are you f*cking asking me what to do? If I told you to chase after them, would you go in?"
The young man lowered his head nervously.
Chu Xiong said from the side, "Boss, the Misty Valley is one of the three great forbidden grounds. Many people have entered it over the years, but none have ever returned alive."
"In my opinion, Quinn and the others are definitely going to their deaths this time."
"We don't need to waste our thoughts on a dying man."
"The urgent matter is to hunt more异魔 (Yi Mo)."
Shi Wu's face was filled with worry. "What you said is reasonable, but I have a bad feeling."
"It's because Chen Nan is with them."
Chu Xiong asked with confusion, "What's there to fear with that guy tagging along?"
Shi Wu's eyes were grave. "I don't know where Chen Nan comes from, but after his appearance, many things have happened."
"First, he recognized that fire poker as a treasure."
"Second."
"I suspect that Quinn and the others practicing the Earth Evasion technique is also related to this person!"
He knew exactly what Quinn was capable of.
They didn't know the so-called Earth Evasion technique at all.
But...
Just after Chen Nan appeared, they learned the Earth Evasion technique.
"Boss, you don't need to worry about this." another young man said, "Even if Chen Nan has an extraordinary origin, the Misty Valley is one of the three great forbidden grounds of the Second Heaven. I don't believe they can escape alive."
"Let's go hunt the 异魔 (Yi Mo) and achieve ultimate victory!"
Shi Wu grinned. "You are right, I'm worrying unnecessarily. Even if Chen Nan has some skills, he can't possibly leave this forbidden ground alive."
"Let's go, let's go, let's go hunt the 异魔 (Yi Mo)."
"As long as we achieve ultimate victory."
"What can they do even if Shi Wu and the others return alive?"
------
Misty Valley.
After passing through a layer of mist.
The scene before everyone's eyes suddenly changed.
What greeted them was a valley filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
The valley was in full bloom, with birds singing and flowers emitting fragrance.
Swarms of spirit birds could be seen flying in the sky.
"I didn't expect there to be a paradise inside!" Xia Lan's face was filled with fascination.
A hint of shock appeared in Quinn's eyes. "Could this be the world before the 异魔 (Yi Mo) descended? I really wish I could live in such a paradise forever!"
They were born and raised in an underground city.
Although the underground city had formations.
The sights displayed by the formations were ultimately illusions.
Even if they could deceive their eyes.
They couldn't deceive their true hearts.
But the scene before them.
It had shaken them.
"Look, there's Blood Vermillion Fruit over there!" Zhou Li exclaimed, stunned by the sight in the distance.
Everyone followed his gaze.
The scene before them deeply stimulated their eyes.
There was a large patch of Blood Vermillion Fruit in the distance.
As far as the eye could see, there was no end.
Countless Blood Vermillion Fruits could be seen.
"Heavens, there are so many Blood Vermillion Fruits? We're rich now!" Yao Chun's eyes lit up, his throat bobbing frantically.
He couldn't help it.
This thing was too tempting.
A single Blood Vermillion Fruit could increase one's cultivation by a year!
"Chen Nan, what do you think about this?" Quinn looked at Chen Nan.
Although the scene before them was incredibly shocking.
He had not lost his reason.
Chen Nan used his Qi Viewing technique and found no danger in this place, and the Blood Vermillion Fruits were indeed real.
"These Blood Vermillion Fruits can be consumed," Chen Nan gave his opinion.
Upon hearing this.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickly moved forward, picking the Blood Vermillion Fruits while devouring them ravenously.
However.
They hadn't cultivated any heart methods, so they could only consume ten at a time.
Consuming too many Blood Vermillion Fruits would be unbearable for their bodies.
Seeing this, Quinn directly passed the Hun Yuan Creation Technique to a few of them.
"There are a large number of Blood Vermillion Fruits here, so we can take this opportunity to cultivate well and strive to improve our cultivation," Chen Nan also sat cross-legged, consuming a hundred Blood Vermillion Fruits at once, and then activated the Eight-Nine Xuan Gong.
After refining all these Blood Vermillion Fruits, he immediately felt a bloating sensation in his body.
That just-right feeling of being on the verge of overflowing made him feel comfortable all over.
Ultimately.
He successfully stepped into the realm of Upper Heavenly God.
His strength had increased dramatically.
He now had a premonition.
If he used the Earth Evasion technique, he could travel more than ten miles in one go.
And when he used the Eight-Nine Xuan Gong to transform into a savage ape, its size would be at least fifty meters.
However.
To advance to the next realm, Lower General, required a thousand years of cultivation.
In other words.
He still needed to consume a thousand Blood Vermillion Fruits.
If he were outside, trying to find a thousand Blood Vermillion Fruits would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But here.
A thousand Blood Vermillion Fruits were not many at all.
This could also be considered a blessing in disguise.
If they hadn't entered the Misty Valley, how would they have discovered such an opportunity?
He quickly collected a thousand Blood Vermillion Fruits.
He sat cross-legged, preparing to break through to the realm of Lower General in one go.
Just then, a furious roar came from a distance. "Who are you people? Who allowed you to pick these Blood Vermillion Fruits?"
Everyone who was cultivating suddenly opened their eyes.
Their eyes were filled with shock.
There were people here?
