Chapter 755: Chapter 755 – Exploration
“Are we not there yet, Captain Elena?”
“Almost.”
“I can’t hold it any longer.”
“Bear with it.”
On the barren plain, a group of people walked with difficulty. Elena said casually as she carefully observed the group of people behind her. Initially, everyone thought they would soon arrive at the King’s Council’s stronghold, where they could get supplies and rest.
However, as time passed, they realized that Elena had deceived them. Three hours ago, Elena had said that they would arrive soon, yet now, it was almost night, and Elena still said the same thing.
Some people on the team were already dying. The erosive power here was no joke. No one knew what that power was, but it would hugely impact people’s bodies, especially those with bloodlines.
In the outside world, those with bloodlines symbol incomparable nobility. They were born noble, yet now, they were greatly affected in this mystic realm. Furthermore, the stronger the bloodline, the greater the impact.
It seemed that the strange erosive power would affect the noble bloodlines in their bodies, causing some changes in their bloodlines, making them unable to control their bodies. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have suffered so much.
In reality, this was also a form of tempering and test. Elena silently observed the people behind her. After a few hours of erosive power, most had already become extremely wretched. They looked pale, like sickly people, without a trace of blood, as if they were about to die.
Some of them looked even more terrifying. A man whose bloodline was unknown, half of his body collapsed. His face was not pale but blood-red, looking like a monkey’s butt.
Elena silently shook her head, looking at these people. Then, she turned her gaze to Chen Heng. Only then did she nod her head in satisfaction. Chen Heng’s performance was much better than the others around him. His expression was the same as usual, and his footsteps were abnormally steady. He maintained a steady pace from the beginning to the end, as if taking a walk.
‘What a tough guy!’ Elena nodded to herself.
Generally speaking, unless one was used to the influence of the erosive power and slowly adapted to it, they would surely be affected by it the first time they came here.
Moreover, the stronger the bloodline, the greater the influence. The only thing one could control was one’s willpower. The bloodline constantly fluctuated under the influence of the erosive power and might even become distorted and mutate into some monsters.
Under such circumstances, if someone were deeply controlled by the bloodline and even had some blood vessel diseases, he would be undoubtedly greatly affected.
However, if he could remain calm under such an influence and fluctuation, then it meant that the person’s willpower was strong enough to control the influence of his bloodline. Such a person was usually a talent that could be nurtured as a core.
The King’s Council was very experienced in these matters. Elena looked at Chen Heng and nodded continuously. Finally, she agreed that elder Jameson made the right judgment this time.
Despite having the bloodline of the royal family, he still had such willpower. Such a person would be able to stand out if he was given a chance. It would not take long for him to grow up.
She did not know that while she was observing Chen Heng, Chen Heng was also secretly observing her.
‘It does look like an avatar.’ This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind as he looked at Elena and secretly withdrew his true spirit.
As for the people around him, most of them revealed ugly faces and looked like they were about to collapse. Frankly, Chen Heng did not feel good either. Compared to the average person, he was more affected.
After all, an average person would only have one or two bloodlines at most. However, Chen Heng had many bloodlines in his body, each of which was a powerful royal bloodline. Other than the Sun’s bloodline and the Silver Moon bloodline, there were several other royal bloodlines.
All of them had rebelled at this moment with the influence of external erosion. If it were an ordinary person, they would most likely be unable to endure this situation. Instead, they would have turned into a monster at any moment and been devoured by the bloodline in their body.
Fortunately, Chen Heng’s willpower was strong, and his true spirit level was high. Facing the abnormal movements and the backlash of these bloodlines, he was still able to endure it without any problems, to the extent that he even had the mood to think about the source of this strange power at this time.
This mystic realm was known as the Graveyard of the Gods, burying many powerful bloodlines and even the primogenitors.
‘This strange power probably came because of this? What was the reason?’
Chen Heng was very interested. However, what made him even more interested was the help this strange power gave to bloodlines. Indeed, on the surface, this strange power would affect the bloodlines, making them unable to control themselves.
Yet, on the other hand, this kind of strange power would also slowly activate the bloodline, increasing its vitality. Therefore, if one could survive in this environment for a long time and endure it for a long time, it would greatly help the bloodline master’s growth.
The King’s Council might have seen through this, which was why they had specially arranged this deliberate training for the newcomers. This answer was most likely correct. Chen Heng just didn’t know what was next. So he thought with some anticipation in his heart.
A city appeared before him. Regardless of its name, it wasn’t too big, looking more like a fortress. There were huge city walls built around the fortress, which looked majestic.
“Okay, we’re here.” Elena looked at the people who were almost collapsing behind her and said with a smile, “We’re close this time.”
As soon as she said that, the large group of people let out a sigh of relief. Many of them had reached their limits by now and might faint soon. However, everything was better now that they were here.
“Go in and have some rest. Then, you can move around freely for three days.” Elena said casually, “We will gather at the designated place and go out to hunt together in three days. Someone will take you to your respective rooms later.”
As she pointed to the front, a few maids came forward, took Chen Heng and the others into the inner area, and went to their rooms. Chen Heng noticed that many of the servants here seemed to be ordinary people. There were no bloodline masters.
There were also very few bloodline masters in this fortress. This was probably because the environment of this mystic realm was not suitable for bloodline masters, which was why there were so many ordinary people.
Bloodline masters were heavily suppressed in this area due to the strange power. However, if they waited for a long time, something would happen sooner or later.
Of course, the fortress’ interior was better because there was a unique array that could offset some of that strange power to a certain extent. However, there was a limit to how good it could be. They would still suffer great losses if they were to survive in this place for a long time.
In short, this place was not for bloodline masters to stay for long. Those with noble bloodlines in the outside world would most likely not be able to adapt to this place. On the contrary, those ordinary people from the outside world would be able to survive well here. This was the difference between the two places.
Nonetheless, there was no difference for Chen Heng. This kind of environment is good for cultivating his team. Chen Heng looked at the outside world as these thoughts flashed through his mind.
A moment later, Chen Heng put down his luggage and walked out. The King’s Council’s control over this batch of rookies was much looser than Chen Heng had imagined. Besides bringing them here, in the beginning, they seemed to be able to move around freely the rest of the time.
For example, now, Elena gave them three days of free time to move around. The things they obtained could also be exchanged within this fortress. The conditions sounded pretty good, with a high degree of freedom. There would also be collective hunting activities after three days. They just didn’t know what it would be like.
Chen Heng thought as he walked out. The people in charge of guarding the fort were all ordinary people and seemed to be veterans. When they saw Chen Heng and the others, they bowed respectfully and let them out without saying anything. They had no means to make things difficult for them.
