Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Can’t You Answer This?
After hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai nodded indifferently.
It seemed that every secret realm existed for a purpose beyond its simple existence.
He had visited many secret realms, and they generally served as trial grounds.
Jiang Xiaobai inquired further and learned that the golden stele offered numerous benefits.
Nevertheless, a single stele could only accommodate ten individuals.
He also found out that beyond the golden stele existed a purple stele, and above that, a legendary black one.
However, the highest-ranked stele they had access to was golden.
“Second question, are there dangers in this secluded cliff realm?”
“Danger, what danger? Aren’t you guys dangerous too?” The two-meter tall hulky man said with a face full of grievances.
The scene was somewhat amusing.
“Wow, you indeed have some guts!”
“Refuse to behave, huh? Hu Da, give him a good beating!”
Upon this command, Hu Da immediately went for the hulk without a second thought.
He was highly aggravated by this man.
The objective was to beat him into submission.
The hulky man screamed in pain. Jiang Xiaobai finally called for a stop when he seemed almost out of breath from Hu Da’s relentless pounding.
“Now, are you ready to answer properly?”
“Yes, yes, yes! There are many traps in this realm, including terrifying formations and hidden super beasts.”
“In short, it’s quite dangerous, but because the cliff realm has been explored many times, the position of most stable dangers is marked on a map, which I have on me!”
The man quickly explained and handed over a detailed jade map to Jiang Xiaobai after Hu Da, and his brothers had loosened their grasp.
After looking over it, Jiang Xiaobai roughly understood the situation.
He then encountered a setback.
Were there any more questions?
“Well, doesn’t seem to be any more.”
He had asked everything he wanted to and had also gotten a good understanding of the secret realm.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded to himself before continuing,”Third question, how many people arrived for this secret realm expedition?”
“Um… can I just give an estimate?”
“About over four thousand people. All powers of the world have sent their respective people, they all are incredibly powerful.”
The hunky man said, “That’s all I know. Do you have any other questions, sir?”
“One final question.”
Jiang Xiaobai asked solemnly, “What are the names of these four thousand people?”
At this, the hulk under Hu Da’s foot was flustered.
What kind of question is this?
“I-I don’t know, sir! I don’t even know those four thousand people!”
The man cried out in panic.
“You had a chance to save your life and yet you don’t value it.”
Jiang Xiaobai sighed while shaking his head. “Is it really that difficult to remember the names of four thousand people? You’re a cultivator, if you can’t even do this, how do you plan to cultivate?”
The robust man was at a loss.
Jiang Xiaobai waved at Hu Da who wore a grim smile. He and his brothers sprang into action and killed the man on the spot.
The rest were not spared either; everyone was slaughtered.
All treasures and resources were looted.
“If they can’t answer such simple questions, I can’t be blamed.”
Jiang Xiaobai sighed while shaking his head.
Huo Shuyu replied with a grim look. “You’re really cruel, you could’ve killed him directly, why did you have to torment him like that?”
“You wouldn’t understand. There’s a certain pleasure in toying with the enemy.”
Having said this, Jiang Xiaobai collected the glowing golden stele.
He started to go over the jade map.
It marked many dangerous regions that amounted to certain death traps.
There were also many areas inhabited by special beast with explosive powers.
Looks like they had reached the Immortal realm?
“It seems that this whole secret realm is a trial ground.”
Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes. “Time for us to take action.”
“Before you start gathering benefits, many powerful characters out there are already searching for us. The Blade Shadow Sect won’t let us off.”
Huo Shuyu indifferently said, “Although we are quite powerful, this place houses thousands of people. If we keep getting chased, there might be danger if our spiritual power runs out.”
Jiang Xiaobai gave a cryptic smile. “Of course, I’m considering that and I already have a rough plan.”
“Even if you are thinking of luring them into these dangerous places, do you think all of them are like these three brothers? Don’t they all have a map to know where the danger lies?”
The three brothers scratching their heads in confusion turned to look at Huo Shuyu.
Did they just hear something?
“Hehe, of course, it won’t be that simple. Let’s see how it goes. If everyone here is against me, they can’t blame me for not being forgiving.”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed lightly and led the group out.
In his hand appeared a blood-red ball, filled with endless bloody smells.
From the outside, you could see traces of red lines running through the ball.
This was a Blood Condensing Bead!
A derivative technique of the Extreme Blood-thirsty Skill, it could condense blood for use during cultivation.
From the beginning, when they started killing their way in, till now, Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t wasted any of the blood from the defeated enemies.
However, he hadn’t started cultivating yet, instead, he was waiting for the system to fully unlock and see if the technique’s grade could be improved. It would have a better effect that way.
Having walked out of the cave not even half a day later, the group found quite a few resources. This place was indeed wealthy!
Simultaneously, they also came across other groups.
However, those groups currently showed no hostility against them. It seemed the Blade Shadow Sect’s notice had not reached them yet.
“Are you planning to go to the central place now and utilize the stele?” Jian Shisan asked Jiang Xiaobai.
“No point going now, I’m just getting familiar with the surroundings.”
Jiang Xiaobai responded indifferently.
Throughout, he had been moving along the safe path marked on the map. Nonetheless, Jiang Xiaobai had been identifying the dangerous zones.
In just half a day, he had come across at least three areas with terrifying beasts.
Even from a distance, his Zixiao spirit could sense the dangerous aura from these areas.
This was part of his plan.
After all, the system hadn’t unlocked yet and if he wanted to face so many people, he would have to utilize other measures.
Two days quietly passed and Jiang Xiaobai along with his team had already visited every beast area marked on the map while gathering benefits on the side.
With this, Jiang Xiaobai had a fair idea of how to proceed.
The thing he had been worrying about ultimately occurred.
While the group was gathering benefits, almost two to three hundred people suddenly dashed out from the surroundings. Leading them were those late-stage Great Achievement experts from the Blade Shadow Sect they had encountered earlier!
“Jiang Xiaobai, let’s see how you escape this time!”
“Form the formation!”
