I only have passive skills, so I'm extremely cautious

The audit in the Demon City is very strict. Spiritual martial artists who come here must hand in their personal information and inform them of the purpose of coming here to prevent anyone from plotting evil and trying to cause trouble.

It is precisely because of the lessons learned that the defenders are so serious. Previously, some crazy extreme spiritual martial artists entered the demon cave, deliberately triggered a demonic tide, and killed many soldiers with the idea of ​​​​perish together.

"From the Tianyan Palace?" The reviewing officer handed back his ID card and other documents, "Be careful when you go in, your life comes first."

"Thanks for the reminder." Chen Zhong replied.

The architectural style of the Demon City is very simple. From the city walls to the houses, they are made of huge stones without any decoration. The flat sections are covered with complex ancient spiritual formations.

Apart from the monotonous buildings, there are only super cannons left in the city, with their dark muzzles aimed at the bloody whirlpool.

Once an internal monster passes through the barrier, thousands of giant cannons will fire at the same time. After several rounds of volleys, even fifth-level monsters may be taken away directly.

"Wait for me." Chen Zhong suddenly turned around and entered a town densely populated by spiritual warriors.

Ten minutes later.

Huo Xundao's shoulders trembled uncontrollably, "Junior, that's exaggerated. We're not camping there, and...did you loot the equipment shop?"

Chen Zhong put the pile of holy springs and anti-demon armor at his feet into the storage spiritual weapon, and said with a smile, "Be prepared, I didn't expect that this kind of anti-demon armor is only sold in the Demon City."

These armors are quite special, because their raw materials all come from the monsters themselves, and they are all made from the monster's body. Coupled with the unique anti-monster spirit array, this kind of weapon is created that is very lethal to monsters.

It is said to be armor because at the beginning there were only armors, shields, etc., but since the development, there are still weapons, but the names have not been changed.

As for why it is only sold in Magic City, there are actually considerations.

The main reason is that this kind of armor also has side effects on the user. If you want to exert a stronger effect, the requirements for spiritual martial artists are higher.

The spiritual warriors who can come to the Demon Cave are more experienced and capable than the spiritual warriors on the other side of the maze, and can withstand the erosion of magic power to the greatest extent.

Moreover, these weapons are extremely expensive to make and are difficult to spread to other places. Putting them into the Demon Cave is already a great effort.

Chen Zhong looted several large stores at once and bought a total of fifty-six pieces of high-quality anti-demon armor. Only seven of them were offensive-type, almost like a water shield.

He is worthy of Chen Zhong, who cherishes his life as much as gold!

Even if it’s just a hair, you should protect it with all your energy!

I don’t know since when, the Shangshan Sect has established good friendships with several of the most historic medicine-refining families in the empire, exchanging spiritual talismans for elixirs. Among them, the most puzzling thing among the powerful families is...the ointment that maintains hair and scalp. And elixir shampoo!

"Last minute consideration time! Check supplies and equipment!" A staff member sternly warned at the extradition boat platform.

There is a banner hanging on the wall of the platform - cherish life, stay away from the devil's cave, and do it for the sake of the world!

Ding ding ding!

Ding ding ding!

An extradition boat flew out of the sea of ​​blood and stopped at the platform.

The hulls made of pure magic crystals all have words on them: Life is short, glory is eternal. Your sacrifice today creates the hope of the world tomorrow!

It is both an admonition and an encouragement.

"Come aboard!"

The fully loaded extradition boat plopped into the whirlpool. The closed hull could prevent the influx of seawater. Through the windows, only the flowing blood and the twisted darkness in the depths could be seen.

boom!

Chen Zhong felt dizzy, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already a different world.

The bloody sky, the bloody wasteland, the bloody rivers, the bloody mountains...

Everywhere he looked, there was nothing but disgusting bloody demonic energy!

Of course, the place where the extradition boat landed is still safe, and the tens of thousands of meters of fortress is the first line of defense to stop the demonic tide.

Here, there are even three master-level spiritual warriors. They have been stationed here for a long time and have indeed made great contributions to the world.

"Well..."

Chen Zhong immediately felt uncomfortable as he got off the extradition boat, and the illusion just now came to mind again.

In the endless sea of ​​blood, rotten tentacles tumbled inside. A graceful figure loomed in the red, and her head was like a blooming sunflower.

Eyes like sunflower seeds opened densely, and she looked at each other from a distance, her eyes full of violence and ferocity.

"She's at the deepest part here!" Chen Zhong murmured in fear.

"Is there a sea of ​​blood here?" Chen Zhong asked immediately.

"Yes, the source of thousands of blood rivers is the real soul-crossing blood sea. Very few spiritual martial artists go deep there. The fifth-level monsters there may be as common as lackeys." Huo Xundao replied.

Chen Zhong couldn't help but wonder, "Is there a devil's cave in the upper world?"

Huo Xundao was not sure, "There should be, but it seems that it cannot communicate with the devil's cave in the lower realm, or there is a barrier similar to a ladder between them."

In the fortress, there is also a loudspeaker that plays precautions in a loop, mainly to take care of the new spiritual warriors.

"The monsters in the Demon Cave cannot be measured. There is sufficient evidence that monsters will continue to be born, so don't try to enter the demon tide to show off your strength!

Try to work as a team, a teammate who can be trusted to support you is a second life!

There are countless ancient treasures and relics in the Demon Cave, but the benefits are often accompanied by several times the risks. Money is an external thing, and living is the most important thing!

Please go to Tower No. 1 to get the self-destruct talisman and self-destruct spiritual weapon. When you know there is no hope of survival, please choose to self-destruct and use the last remaining heat of your life!

..."

Chen Zhong certainly couldn't go to get that kind of thing. Don't even think about it. He won't give up living until the last moment.

The two stepped out of the city gate and left the fortress.

After walking out, Chen Zhong realized that there was an air purification device in the fortress, because at this moment his chest was full of irritating bloody magic.

Gudong, gulp.

Chen Zhong drank a bottle of holy spring without saying a word, and immediately felt relaxed. This lavish operation stunned the spiritual warrior behind him.

"Let's go," Huo Xundao whispered, "There is a place with ancient ruins. I didn't go there last time because of the magic tide attack. "

The two of them quickly rushed in one direction.

A sharp bloody wind blew past their ears, and the brown-red soil under their feet would burst into a pool of sticky blood plasma when stepped on.

The environment here is so bad that it is not comparable to a maze at all. Even Huo Xundao, who has reached the fifth level of the Soul Tempering Realm, turned pale.

The blood demon energy will turn into thick blood in the human heart and lungs, and the blood will block the meridians and blood vessels. Only the spiritual power and holy spring in the body can decompose and eliminate it. For spiritual warriors above the minor success level, although it is not fatal, this process is extremely difficult, extremely painful, and consumes a lot of energy.

For those below the minor success level, it is not recommended to come here at all. For those in the Spirit Body Realm and the Blood Surge Realm, even breathing can be fatal, and turning into a pool of blood is like... is the end.

Soon, they were attacked by monsters.

Purgatory Blood Demon!

A specialty that can only be found in the Soul Crossing Blood Sea.

They are different from ordinary blood demons in that they have black crystals on their bodies that are like external skeletons. These hard crystals have become their best hunting weapons.

In addition, there are densely packed blood demons!

What Chen Zhong regrets is that they have no thoughts before they died, and they are just beasts.

The battle started, fortunately, the highest one that appeared was only level four, and the two adopted guerrilla warfare, which did not feel too difficult.

It was also because the two were too good, and various means emerged one after another. If they were replaced by two spiritual warriors of the same realm, they would probably have grown grass on their graves.

"It's almost there!" Huo Xundao took off his coat that had become a strip of cloth, and simply put on the spiritual vest given by Chen Zhong, "Don't say, I feel that it's hard for me to die after putting this thing on!"

"Wait!" Chen Zhong grabbed Huo Xundao and pointed to the front, "There is a big guy in that blood pond. "

The two men lay down and observed in a filthy manner.

Chen Zhong waved his hand casually, and a corpse-refining puppet appeared. After being driven, it ran straight to the pond.

Huo Xundao was not surprised, but had a somewhat natural expression. After his relationship with Chen Zhong became more and more friendly, he would not be shocked even if Chen Zhong carried a nuclear bomb that was ready to explode.

Boom!

Before the puppet approached, the pond exploded, and a skinned snake rose up. The exposed part of its body was more than 100 meters long, and its back was covered with a layer of black crystals that looked like ribs.

Level 5 monster!

"Let's go." Chen Zhong turned around without looking back.

"Alas, I'm still too weak. I can't move an inch in the demon cave. "Huo Xundao sighed, and had to follow him to leave.

Three days later.

The two jumped out of a blood lake, gasping for breath, looked at each other and laughed together.

"This time the harvest is not small, fifth-grade skills, fifth-grade spiritual skills, and fifth-grade spiritual weapons," Huo Xundao said loudly, "Thanks to your resourcefulness, you actually entered from underground."

Yes, the ruins they explored were still the previous ones, but the way to enter was completely different, and they dug a tunnel.

After all, Chen Zhong is not a person who gives up easily!

"The skills belong to you, and the spiritual medicine and spiritual weapons belong to me, is it feasible?" Chen Zhong discussed.

"OK, no problem," Huo Xundao nodded, frowned, "It's time for us to go back, I can't stand the erosion of the blood demon energy anymore."

However, Chen Zhong looked into the distance with a sense of loss, "Senior, you go back first, I still have something to deal with. "

Huo Xundao was puzzled. We came in together and never separated. Why do you have so many things to deal with?

However, seeing Chen Zhong's determination, Huo Xundao took out several life-saving elixirs and spiritual tools from his body, "Since you have made up your mind, I don't think I can persuade you back. Take these. I'll wait for you in Tianyan Hall."

Chen Zhong waved his hand, "Keep them, just in case you need them when you go back."

After speaking, Chen Zhong silently took a step and walked towards the depths of the blood sea.

Huo Xundao sighed helplessly and left until Chen Zhong disappeared.

...

Chen Zhong didn't know that at this moment, he exuded the supreme power of rules. Wherever he went, no monster dared to approach.

"Is this the Soul Crossing Blood Sea? "

In front of him was an endless blood-red ocean, without waves, no reefs, no beaches, and no signs of any living creatures.

Desperate and sad!

Instead, there was no pungent blood, but a light and elegant sweetness filled the air, which was extremely strange against the backdrop of the picture.

Boom boom boom--

Suddenly, the quiet sea of ​​blood trembled suddenly, and a blood-red staircase leading downwards was separated from it.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Chen Zhong felt an incomparable contempt and arrogance for no reason. For a moment, he felt that this Soul Crossing Blood Sea was just a small pond for frying fish.

In a trance, he had walked into the depths of the blood sea.

The light was replaced by darkness, followed by the flickering of blood-red candles.

The rows of candles on the bottom of the sea are... indescribably creepy.

In the face of the long walk, time has become meaningless. Dark golden flow patterns slowly appear in Chen Zhong's pupils, and the texture is exactly the same as the stars in the sky in the magic library.

Buzz…

The Green Corpse Cold continued to activate, and hundreds of fifth-level monsters in the blood sea stiffened and trembled. Some third- and fourth-level monsters could not withstand the terrifying pressure and chose to self-destruct in despair.

Not only is Green Corpse Han, various passive skills are activated at the same time, Chen Zhong has become a walking incarnation of the great avenue of heaven and earth.

Finally, we reached the abyss-like end.

Chen Zhong saw the "person" in the illusion.

Her head is a plate of fleshy sunflowers, and the "sunflower seeds" inside are all dripping eyeballs. Her upper body is no different from that of a human being, and is even extraordinarily hot.

As for the lower body, it makes people silent.

At least 10,000 tentacles sprouted from her waist, crisscrossing like the roots of an old tree.

"The demonic soul of a ninth-level monster..."

Chen Zhong naturally felt its realm.

This monster is not its true body, but a demonic soul that lingers all year round. Yes, it is a demonic soul that can be absorbed by soul-quenching realm spiritual martial artists.

But generally speaking, the soul-quenching realm absorbs the demon souls of first- or second-level monsters and then slowly cultivates them.

The Sunflower woman looked at Chen Zhong with extremely complicated eyes, showing surrender, hatred, gratitude, and anger, like a collection of contradictions.

"What the hell are you?"

"What am I?"

Chen Zhong expressed his soul confusion.

The two sides stared at each other for a long time, but Sunflower finally couldn't bear it and lowered her head humbly.

Chen Zhong stretched out his hand as a medium for the soul, and then the power of the soul drew him into the sea of ​​his soul!

Bang——

The next second, Chen Zhong felt that he was about to burst.

But it only lasted for a second. His vast sea of ​​soul quickly squeezed the Sunflower woman into a slime and ravaged her wantonly.

Soul quenching begins!

Chen Zhong sat down cross-legged and entered into automatic cultivation.

The skill worked on its own, and then a miracle occurred. The endless demonic energy was absorbed by the skill, and then converted into pure power.

Chen Zhong's heart was completely calm. Can this surprise be considered a surprise?

In the caves of the Linglong Mountains, Chen Zhong's body was also wrapped into a thick blood cocoon, from which blood-colored veins emerged, all over the cave, like a silk cave.

At this moment, there was also panic outside the Demon Cave.

Because the entrance to the barrier that had remained unchanged began to shrink, and under everyone's astonished gaze, the entrance disappeared without a trace!

Huo Xundao stood blankly, looking embarrassed. He had an intuition that all this was related to Chen Zhong.

…

One year later.

On the wall of the Demon City, several officers were chatting.

"I heard that the White Tower Federation united with the Divine Empire to launch a small-scale war against the Red Flame border!"

"I have also learned that it seems that the word peace in this era is a utopian fantasy."

"I feel that the situation in the future is not good. Coupled with the sudden disappearance of the sea of ​​blood, I have trouble sleeping every night!"

Several people were talking vigorously, and the whole ocean trembled violently.

Then, under their disbelieving eyes, the entrance to the Blood Sea reappeared little by little.

"Did you see a light flying out?"

"No? Are you dazzled?"

Ten thousand meters high in the sky, Chen Zhong was flying freely.
