“Big bro, do we have a chance to kill that guy this time?” Third Brother asked, acting dumb.
“Humph, this time the Mad Demon Secret Land is filled with danger, we have plenty of opportunities. If not, why would I have you wait until now?” First Brother said with great satisfaction.
“Bro is wise!”
“Bro is mighty!”
“Otherwise, how could I be your eldest brother? Mother gave birth to me first because I’m wise!” First Brother stated proudly.
“When the time comes, we will act accordingly. The three of us will work together, retrieve the key to the treasure from that kid, and we can finish our task! ” “We will follow Big Bro’s lead!”
“Me too!”
Time slowly passed, and finally, it was close to evening.
The previously noisy waiting area was now completely quiet, without a sound. Everyone was eagerly watching the sunset in the distance.
As soon as the time comes, everyone will start running like crazy.
There is a large gate to the east of this area. Leaving there to enter the Mad Demon Valley, everyone wants to be the first, because good things are always first come, first served.
Jiang Xiaobai even saw many people preparing to team up together to venture forward.
“The time is nearly here, you two get ready. When we enter, we must stick close to the main group,” Xiao Yuwei came up to Jiang Xiaobai at this moment. Jiang Xiaobai furrowed his brows, “Stick close to the main group?”
“Exactly, the members of the royal court move together, at least before entering the Mad Demon Secret Land. This is a rule set by Father,” Xiao Yuwei calmly stated, then waved her hand. Five individuals appeared behind her, four of them reached peak strength after Transcendence and the other one was at the early stage of Dividing the gods.
“Those five are the maximum number of people I can bring along. When the time comes, you guys will have to get along well,” Xiao Yuwei stated playfully.
Although she said so, Jiang Xiaobai noticed a teasing smile on the faces of the five individuals.
After all, his realm was nothing compared to theirs.
However, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t say much and concentrated on the slowly setting sun, planning his next moves.
Escaping at the first sign of trouble was inevitable. With a boss like this, he might not even realize it when he’s about to die.
Members of the royal court, they all have cold hearts.
Who knows, Xiao Yuwei might suddenly turn on him, and Jiang Xiaobai would be powerless to stop it.
Then, Jiang Xiaobai focused his attention on the prestige mall.
“Should I redeem some cultivation experience?” Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes.
One thousand reputation points equal ten years of cultivation. He currently had fifty thousand points, so by spending ten thousand points to obtain a hundred years of cultivation, he could definitely break through.
But he really didn’t want to spend such a big chunk of his points.
He only had so many points.
If he spent ten thousand, he would lose a fifth of them, and who knew how much time it would take to accumulate that many again.
“Congratulations, Host, on triggering a selection!”
“Option one: Do not increase your cultivation during the Mad Demon Secret Land period. Reward: Ten years of cultivation.”
“Option two: Breakthrough to the early stage of Transcendence within half a month of entering the Mad Demon Secret Land. Reward: Five reputation points, ten years of cultivation, and one share of Profound Ice Cold Spirit Essence.”
“Option three: Breakthrough to the early stage of Transcendence within seven days of entering the Mad Demon Secret Land. Reward: Ten reputation points, one chance to stabilize cultivation, and one random teleportation talisman.”
“Note: You cannot use the prestige mall to exchange for cultivation for the breakthrough. If this rule is violated, the host will be impotent for a hundred years!”
Seeing the options appear in front of him, Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.
My goodness, this system was different after it updated. It could even read minds now? All he did was contemplate.
However, seeing the penalty, he felt a cold shiver run down his spine.
A hundred years of impotence?
Was this system even capable of thinking of such a punishment?
Jiang Xiaobai immediately ruled out the first option. Who was he kidding? He couldn’t afford to not increase his cultivation. He might as well find a geomantic treasure spot instead.
He was caught between the second and third choices, with greater risks come greater rewards, although there wouldn’t be any penalty for failing.
But if analyzed economically, if he failed, it would mean a huge loss!
“Damn it, let’s go for it. Seven days, then seven days. There must be plenty of resources inside. At worst, I’ll risk my life looting as much as I can,” Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth and chose the third option.
You bet and you may hit the jackpot.
Besides, the random teleportation talisman could also come in handy, it was another lifesaving card up his sleeve.
He believed that he shouldn’t be that unlucky, to use it and remain stuck in the same spot…
After all, it could happen.
Finally, half of the sun set below the horizon, and at the announcement of an elder from Wuhai Academy, three to four thousand people rushed out of the area.
Jiang Xiaobai, along with AnRan, stuck closely to Xiao Yuwei, and their entire group followed closely behind the main force of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
It’s worth mentioning that Jiang Xiaobai noticed that others also moved in groups. The four sects and five peaks even formed a super large group together.
“Stop looking. Prior to entering the Mad Demon Secret Land, no one will cause trouble based on past grudges. It’s not worth it. After all, the resources and opportunities outside are insignificant compared to what lies within the Secret Land,” Xiao Yuwei’s voice rang out beside him, “Focus on keeping up the pace, if you’re distracted, I’ll smack you.”
Jiang Xiaobai pursed his lips. She was the boss now, so she could say whatever she wanted.
Soon, the entire group began to split up. The ones at the forefront were individual powerhouses. The main forces of several major factions followed behind at a relaxed pace.
Truthfully, those lone powerhouses had fallen right into their trap. If they didn’t desperately run forward, by the time the main forces came sweeping through, all the resources and opportunities would be gone.
If they rushed forward recklessly, they would become the vanguard, helping others discover the path and suffering the greatest loss.
The key point was, these opportunities were too tempting.
No one could resist. At times like these, everyone felt like they would be the lucky ones out of so many people. Even if some had to die, it wouldn’t be them.
Pitiful, lamentable.
Blind conformity would certainly lead to severe consequences, so severe that one might need to pay with their life.
However, when faced with opportunity, no one wanted to fall behind.
In no time, everyone saw a towering, bald mountain appear before them.
We’ve reached the Ten Thousand Bone Mountain!
Behind Bone Mountain, was the Mad Demon Valley.
There wasn’t really any danger here. It’s just that Bone Mountain really terrified people. The first time seeing it, one would surely be shocked.
Honestly, Jiang Xiaobai was completely shocked. He had never seen a mountain like this in his past life.
Just as he was marveling, he suddenly frowned. His eyes were locked on a certain point on the mountain.
“Damn, is that a person up there?”
