Chapter 1558

The ground trembled as the exotic beasts charged forward. Their eyes were filled with madness.

Their four claws clawed at the ground, scooping up large chunks of soil. As the soil churned, the exotic beasts surged forward like a flood.

Zi Chen took the lead and charged toward the army of exotic beasts. His body emitted lightning as he displayed his Thunder King Physique, which had reached the limit of four stars.

His figure swept out and punched out. Dazzling lightning flashed between heaven and earth.

The most ferocious exotic beast in the lead had its head smashed by Zi Chen's punch.

Even though its head was smashed, its momentum didn't decrease. It slammed into the ground, causing the earth to shake as a huge gully appeared.

The exotic beast's corpse drew a gully of more than ten meters before it stopped.

After killing an exotic beast, Zi Chen's figure flashed as he charged into the group of exotic beasts.

The other exotic beasts didn't stop as they charged forward crazily.

With another punch, Zi Chen killed another exotic beast. His figure flashed and disappeared again.

At this moment, Zi Chen displayed his extreme speed and powerful strength, easily killing the exotic beasts. At the same time, the group of exotic beasts couldn't get close to him.

Man Shi's body emitted a dark light. He was like a moving mountain as he charged toward the exotic beasts. With every step he took, the entire world would tremble.

With a series of bangs, the exotic beasts were sent flying by Man Shi.

Wu Xie followed closely behind, taking the opportunity to kill the exotic beasts that had lost their balance but didn't die. He killed one with a single strike.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Light streaked across the sky in front of Dong Qing, charging toward the exotic beasts like bolts of lightning.

As a beast tamer, Dong Qing used his spiritual sense to attack. His spiritual sense entered the minds of the exotic beasts and destroyed their souls.

The exotic beasts that had leaped into the air to launch an attack lost their aim when they landed on the ground due to the lack of vitality. They fell in other directions, some even crashing into each other.

Shangguan Hong stood in the air, emitting a bright green light. She stretched out her jade-like hand and swept it forward. Green dots of light fell toward the exotic beasts like seeds of life.

The green light landed on the exotic beast's body and entered its body. After that, the powerful life force within the exotic beast's body rapidly weakened.

The seed did not grow into a giant tree. After the strange beast's life force was completely exhausted, the green light spot, which had grown several times in size, floated out and headed straight for Shang Guan Hong. She put it away again.

As soon as the battle began, the strange beasts died one after another. In a short period of time, corpses were strewn all over the place.

The powerful strength displayed by Hu Ping Cheng's five-man group also caused a sensation in Shuntian Prefecture.

A quarter of an hour later, the charging beasts were all annihilated. Lines of points began to appear on the five people's tokens. There were at least a few hundred points.

Among the hundred and eight teams, Zi Chen's team was the first to encounter a group of exotic beasts, and their harvest was also the greatest.

While Man Shi and Wu Xie were cleaning up the battlefield, Zi Chen's eyes suddenly flashed, and he turned his head to look in a certain direction.

His figure flashed and disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already a thousand meters away.

After flashing a few times like this, Zi Chen stood in the air and punched the ground.

The air shook, and a lightning-like fist of lightning slammed into the ground with a loud bang.

"Boom!"

The ground shook, and the sound traveled over ten kilometers. The fist of light blasted a huge crater in the ground, and at the bottom of the crater, a mournful roar rang out.

Zi Chen's figure flashed, and he entered the crater. A moment later, he rushed out with a beast corpse in his hand.

This was an exotic beast with a fourth layer battle prowess. It could be considered the leader of the group of exotic beasts from before, but it had been hiding underground and had not launched an attack.

With a swipe of his hand, the beast corpse's head was split open, and a glowing diamond-shaped crystal appeared.

"This is it."

Zi Chen picked up the crystal and examined it. Earlier, he had been able to detect the other party's tracks precisely because he had sensed the existence of this diamond-shaped crystal.

This crystal did not belong to the exotic beast itself. It was forcibly implanted by an external force.

Using his spiritual sense to sense the crystal, Zi Chen actually saw a route that looked like a map.

Man Shi and the others came later. When they saw the diamond-shaped crystal in Zi Chen's hand, they asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Take a look."

Zi Chen handed the crystal to Man Shi. The latter took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense. Immediately, his eyes widened and he said, "There's a map route in here."

Then, Man Shi handed the crystal to the others.

When they found out the route, their expressions changed slightly.

"Why is there such a thing in its body?" Shang Guan Hong's eyes were filled with confusion.

"These guys are stupid and stupid. They don't know anything other than fighting. It must be the work of the exotic beasts. As for this route, it should be their patrol route," Man Shi said casually.

The others looked at Zi Chen, habitually waiting for him to make a decision.

Zi Chen said, "No matter what it is, since we found it, we have to go and take a look."

Then, they followed the map's guidance and headed to the last marked place.

Just as Zi Chen discovered the rhombus-shaped crystal, the other factions also encountered the horde of exotic beasts, and a series of intense battles broke out.

Then, they found the leader of the exotic beasts. After killing it, they obtained the same diamond-shaped crystal from its body.

Just like the one Zi Chen obtained, there was a route in each of these diamond-shaped crystals.

Therefore, the group of forces headed to the place marked on the map in the diamond-shaped crystal.

While they were moving forward, Shang Guan Hong suddenly pointed at a certain place and said, "Look, what is that?"

The others turned their heads and saw a half-naked black object.

Man Shi dashed over and dug the object out of the ground. His expression immediately changed. "It's a broken weapon."

This weapon should be quite old. The spiritual power in it had been lost, and the surface was rusty. It could be considered a piece of junk.

After carefully examining the weapon, Zi Chen said in a low voice, "This is a weapon used by humans. They died less than five hundred years ago."

"What?" Hearing Zi Chen's words, the others were shocked.

Wu Xie asked, "Are you sure?"

Zi Chen explained, "The exotic beasts were all experts. The weapons they used had special abilities that made it almost impossible for them to corrode. Look here, it was obviously broken by force. Moreover, it was broken by a beast's claw. The quality of this weapon was not high before. At best, it was a Domain Weapon used by the first or second layer of the Domain Realm. After the spirit in it was broken, it would become like this in a few hundred years."

"Could it be that someone accidentally entered this place and was killed by the exotic beasts here?" Man Shi said.

"Let's look around and find out."

The five of them spread out and searched for other things that might appear. After a while, the five of them gathered again. Each of them had a broken Domain Weapon in their hands.

After seeing the broken pieces of the weapons, Wu Xie said, "It seems that there was more than one person who came here. Perhaps a group of adventurers accidentally discovered this place, but all of them died here."

Zi Chen did not jump to conclusions. There were still many things he did not understand. The group continued to move forward. Naturally, they would find some broken weapons along the way.

Four hours later, the group arrived at the place recorded on the rhombus-shaped crystal. It was a huge open area. The smell of exotic beasts lingered in the air. Obviously, they had been here all this time.

"There's nothing here," Wu Xie said, looking at the empty area in front of him.

Zi Chen held the rhombus-shaped crystal and walked forward.

The others behind him looked on in confusion. After walking for about three hundred meters, Zi Chen seemed to have triggered a restriction. His figure disappeared without a trace.

"There's nothing here."

The few of them were startled. After exchanging glances, Man Shi flew forward.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where Zi Chen disappeared. He continued to move forward, but he did not find anything.

Man Shi walked back and forth in the place where Zi Chen disappeared, but he did not find anything out of the ordinary.

In the outside world, the cultivators from Shuntian Prefecture and Huping City also noticed this scene. They also had strange expressions on their faces.

It was obvious that it was a very advanced restriction, and the rhombus-shaped crystal was the key to triggering it.

"Boom!"

A surge of energy suddenly surged out from beside Man Shi. Man Shi was shocked and instinctively retreated.

Wherever the energy passed, the space in front of him shattered like a mirror. The illusory scene disappeared and the real scene appeared.

Zi Chen's figure reappeared in front of everyone's eyes. The power around him slowly retracted. It was him who had broken the restriction.

When they looked in front of Zi Chen, they were all stunned.

Ten meters away from Zi Chen, the ground was covered with corpses. Some of the corpses still had flesh and blood, while others only had skeletons left.

As far as the eye could see, there were no less than a hundred corpses. These hundred corpses formed a huge circle in front of them. Wisps of energy floated out from their corpses. These wisps of energy seemed to be attracted by something, and they went straight to the huge circle. In the center of the circle, there was a pool of clear liquid.

"How could this be?"

Walking in front of Zi Chen, the four of them looked at the incomplete corpses at close range. Their faces were filled with shock.

"That liquid is the remaining energy of these dead people. Could it be … that's the source of their energy?"

After feeling the pure energy from the clear liquid, Man Shi's expression changed. He lost his composure and asked.

After the restriction was broken, the air flowed again. Some of the eerie white bones turned into ashes when they came in contact with the air and disappeared.

The energy of the corpses of experts was completely exhausted and turned into ashes. It would take more than a thousand years for this to happen.

There were too many corpses here, and they were divided into different stages. Some of the corpses were still intact, and it seemed that they were only two hundred years old.

"Could it be that this is also a training ground?" The four of them couldn't help but guess.

In the outside world, after Zi Chen broke the restriction, the scene here was completely magnified. Seeing so many corpses, there was an uproar.

The surroundings were in an uproar. Mo Ling silently looked at the magnified image. His indifferent eyes seemed to have become colder.

Then, the uproar turned into exclamations of surprise. As Zi Chen and the others approached the crystal, the other forces also arrived one after another.

It was completely different from what they had imagined. All the rhombus-shaped crystals were independent and could lead to a place that belonged to them.
