The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 74 - : Situation in the Dead Land

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Situation in the Dead Land

“Undead activity?” Hearing Ye Xin say this, Lin Qian’s interest was piqued instead, “What do you mean, is it really that terrifying?”

Ye Xin nodded slightly, explaining to Lin Qian, “Before we entered, my master forbade us, instructing us to only go forward and never to venture to the east or west sides.”

“Your master?” After hearing this, Lin Qian thought to himself. His fiancée’s master, a renowned female Sword Saint of the Divine Sword Sect, must have had a good reason for such a warning; the places in those two directions must indeed be terrifying.

“Xinxin, did your master say specifically what the deal is with those two places?” After some thought, Lin Qian’s curiosity led him to ask.

Ye Xin shook her head gently, her voice slow, “No, master just warned me very earnestly, to never set foot over there.”

“It’s the east and west sides of the Middle Ages ruins that are called the Dead Land,” Wang Lanxin, who was next to Li Letian, suddenly spoke up at this moment.

After Wang Lanxin spoke, the eyes of everyone present turned to her.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, curiosity evident in their eyes, Wang Lanxin chuckled dryly, “Sometimes, I like to read notes, and I’ve seen the records of a predecessor from the Wanxiang Sect who had entered the Middle Ages ruins; this Dead Land is no ordinary place.”

“No ordinary place? What’s so unusual about it?” Lin Qian’s interest piqued, he looked at Wang Lanxin, “Come on, tell us, what exactly did the predecessor record?”

Even Ye Xin’s mind was seized by curiosity. Her master had warned her thousands of times not to go near the east or west sides, but the reasons were left unsaid, which also made her want to know the cause.

“According to the predecessor’s records, the landscape of the Dead Land on the east and west sides is completely different from what we see now. Within those forests, dense fog gathers day after day, dark and difficult to see through.”

“However, what’s strange is that every night, when darkness descends on this Small World, the thick fog of the Dead Land would dissipate, and the moonlight would pour down. That’s when the true appearance of those forests would reveal itself.”

“Bare dead trees would cover the mountains, the land gray and desolate, cracked; from within those cracks, a chill would seep out.”

“Within the Dead Land, there are various structures scattered throughout the forests, each with a different look but seemingly in a state of disrepair. According to the predecessor’s records, the style of the buildings resembled those meant for dwelling, and there were also structures like libraries and Storage Pill buildings.”

Hearing Wang Lanxin’s words, Lin Qian and the others’ eyes lit up.

Clearly, those buildings must have belonged to the ancient Sect that once owned these Middle Ages ruins.

“I remember there’s a theory that the Small World where the Middle Ages ruins are located is somewhat different.” At this moment, Ding Zhirong suddenly spoke, drawing everyone’s attention.

“This Ancient Sect, after suffering catastrophe, some of their Sect lands collapsed into this Small World. The Dead Land is probably the area that collapsed in, hence the difference from other places.”

After Ding Zhirong finished speaking, Lin Qian nodded continuously in agreement, “This theory makes sense; looking at it this way, there must be a lot of good things within the Dead Land.”

“But, according to the rumors, there’s undead activity in the Dead Land.” Seeing Lin Qian looking tempted, Ye Xin hurriedly said.

Next to her, Wang Lanxin also nodded, “Many people are aware of this, and the notes document it in even more detail.”

“In the Dead Land, whenever nighttime falls, corpses would come out to move around. These corpses are not only powerful but also seemingly immortal. Even if their heads are severed, they can continue to move.”

Those present felt a tingling on their scalps after hearing this.

Not to mention the movement of powerful corpses, but also the fact that they seemed impossible to kill, how should one deal with this?

Lin Qian had not expected that within these Middle Ages ruins, there would be such an extraordinary place as the Dead Land.

“Boss, by the looks of it, you seem to want to take a look at the Dead Land, huh?” Seeing Lin Qian’s demeanor, Lei Qian suddenly said from not far away.

Lei Qian’s words made Lin Qian nod, acknowledging, “Indeed, I do have the idea of exploring the Dead Land.”

In Lin Qian’s view, if the content Wang Lanxin had mentioned was indeed true, then they should be able to reap quite a bit in the Dead Land.

And the things they would gain should all be relics of the Ancient Sects.

If they could get their hands on Ancient Sect items and give them to Zhuge Ming for research, then they would undoubtedly produce many beneficial things, which would also help the Huaxia Empire.

“But Little Qian, wouldn’t this be too dangerous?” Seeing that Lin Qian actually wanted to go to the Dead Land, Ye Xin’s brows slightly furrowed.

At the same time, Wang Lanxin also spoke up, reminding Lin Qian, “The discovery of the Dead Land was because of that predecessor from the Wanxiang Sect, and only he and a disciple from the Shengtian Sect returned alive; the others all died inside.”

Seeing the hesitation in everyone’s expressions, Lin Qian smiled and said, “What, at this point, do you still not believe in your own strength? People in the past died here, do you really think we will too?”

Lei Qian and the others looked at each other, thought for a moment, but did not speak.

Although they knew some things about the Dead Land, it remained an unknown to them.

Under normal circumstances, they should head forward into the first area of the Middle Ages ruins, aiming to reach the second area within five days.

During the journey, they could train themselves by hunting Soul Beasts.

They could also harvest flesh, skin, sinews, and bones from some Soul Beasts as materials for Alchemy and Artifact Refining, which could also be considered a fortune.

After all, everything obtained within the Middle Ages ruins belonged to the disciples; the Sect would not reclaim it.

Safely hunting Soul Beasts and passing through the first area, or following Lin Qian into the unknown Dead Land.

The Dead Land, although unknown and potentially dangerous, might also hold Ancient Sect relics left in the ruins.

These items were the truly valuable ones!

“Little Qian, you really want to go to the Dead Land?” Ye Xin turned her head towards Lin Qian, looking at him seriously as she asked.

Lin Qian turned to look at Ye Xin and nodded in reply, “Yes.”

“Alright then, I’ll come with you too,” Ye Xin responded helplessly with a shake of her head after receiving a firm response.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qian nodded silently and then asked Ye Xin, “Didn’t the female Sword Saint say not to go to the Dead Land?”

“I want to accompany you.”

Lin Qian smiled and grabbed Ye Xin’s hand, “Don’t worry, with me here, absolutely nothing will happen.”

Similarly paired up were Li Letian and Wang Lanxin, who, upon seeing this scene, gave each other a knowing smile and quietly held hands tightly together.

Both Lei Qian and Ding Zhirong raised an eyebrow, turning to look, just as Zhao Haiming walked into their midst, wrapping his arms around their shoulders and said with a grin, “How about we three form a pair too?”

“Bang!” With perfect synchrony, Lei Qian and Ding Zhirong raised their arms and fiercely elbowed Zhao Haiming in the chest, reprimanding in unison.

“Scram!”
