Extraordinary Cultivation Continent

After listening to Zhang Chaofan's words, Zhong Ming knew that Zhang Chaofan used a very low-level provocation method. But out of the Zhongzhou people's sense of superiority and deep-seated pride, he still laughed out loud. After laughing, he said: "What a joke. How can we, the proud people from Zhongzhou, still be afraid of you southerners?" Are you indigenous?" As soon as Zhang Chaofan heard that the fish had taken the bait, he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "Since we are not afraid, then we should not set any preconditions for our cooperation, and each harvest should be based on his own ability, and there should be no preset restrictions." Zhong Ming thought. After thinking about it, he said: "Okay, if we are still afraid of you people, then we will each rely on our own abilities and make sure that you, the natives of the mountainous areas, will be convinced that you will lose." Seeing that the two parties had agreed, the other people on both sides had no objections. After that, the two parties gathered together, led by Chen Kun, who knew some formations, and walked in the direction where Zhong Ming and the other five came.

The group of them deviated from the original forest path and walked completely among the short trees and weeds. Zhang Chaofan didn't pay attention to the specific direction of travel. He just mechanically followed the people walking in front. His main energy was still spent on vigilance and preparedness, always being prepared for possible dangers. He not only had to be prepared for possible dangers that might appear in the grass. In case of sudden danger, they should allocate a large part of their energy to be wary of people coming from Zhongzhou who are traveling with them. As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others. Zhang Chaofan not only understood this truth extremely thoroughly, but also kept it in mind.

About half the time it took to burn the incense, everyone encountered no accidents along the way. They successfully arrived at a place with a relatively open view, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After everyone stopped, Zhang Chaofan raised his eyes and looked ahead. Opposite them, thirty feet away, there was a steep rock wall two or three feet high, blocking their way. Looking closely at this stone wall, it is almost 90 degrees perpendicular to the horizontal line of the ground. It looks like a stone wall, giving people the impression that it is not a natural formation but an artificial construction. The rock walls were bare and barren of grass. Chen Kun broke away from everyone and walked forward about a foot, then stopped and gestured to everyone who was not far behind him to stop.

After everyone stopped, Chen Kun said: "In terms of formations, there will definitely be formation mechanisms on this rock wall. However, we have tried many times at this location before and failed to understand it. Without any clue, it’s as if this is just an ordinary cliff, and there is no formation at all. This situation is really difficult for me to understand." Hearing what Chen Kun said, Zhang Chaofan was also very confused. He Although I have practiced Formation Dao for a while, I have not experienced actual combat testing. I don’t know how many pounds I have in the Formation Dao, so I don’t dare to speak casually. I just use the Formation Dao knowledge based on my mastery. Taixu's Purple Immortal Eyes looked toward the cliff.

It's just that Zhang Chaofan didn't expect that all the so-called formations would be a lie and useless under his Taixu Purple Immortal Eyes. All the formation mechanisms arranged on the cliff are reflected in his see-through eyes, and all the mechanisms and acupoints are under Zhang Chaofan's control. He could tell at a glance that behind a cleverly disguised stone door, there was a passage into the mountain. Zhang Chaofan understood in his heart that that should be the passage leading to the abandoned cave in the mountain. He carefully looked at the ground in front of the cliff again and found that there were actually no formation mechanisms on the ground up to the rock wall. There was no danger at all. As long as you had the courage, you could reach the rock wall safely.

After seeing this clearly, Zhang Chaofan didn't say anything. However, he sent a message to Fang Hongjian and several of his companions, asking them to wait outside and not go together if they found the entrance later. If he takes too long to enter, they don't need to wait for him and can return to Shushan Restaurant on their own. Fang Hongjian and several others had no objection to Zhang Chaofan's arrangement. They sat down and meditated. This confused Zhong Ming and the other five, and they were very surprised. Zhong Ming couldn't help but asked: "Are you all cowards? Are you afraid of going to the ground and don't even have the courage to go in and explore?"

Since Zhang Chaofan had already sent a message to Fang Hongjian and others, there were mechanisms in the cave that might hurt them, so when they heard what Zhong Ming said, Fang Hongjian and the others were not angry, and Fang Hongjian even said with a smile on his face. Said: "Friend Zhong Dao, we don't know anything about battles. Going in to explore will only hinder you. It's better to wait outside for you to return from the treasure hunt. I wish you a fruitful return."

Zhang Chaofan laughed and said: "Zhong Daoyou, you guys are the proud ones from Zhongzhou. Your Taoism is profound, unlike us natives who don't know anything. As for exploring the treasures below, we still need the support of Zhong Daoyou." In this world, everything is broken, but flattery cannot be broken. After listening to Zhang Chaofan's self-lowering words, Zhong Ming felt that he was really superior to others, and he didn't want to argue with the natives in their eyes. A little smile could be seen on his face, and he said casually : "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. As long as you can listen to us, everything is easy to talk about. We will never make things difficult for you." After saying that, I felt a little regretful. There is still more than 20 feet away from where everyone is to the cliff. , I don’t know if there is any danger. I could have let these natives explore the way first, but now that I have spoken out, I can’t bear to face it and rush them to take risks to explore the way for myself.

Zhong Ming had no choice but to say to Chen Kun: "Junior Brother Chen, you are the only one among us who has the best research on the Tao of Battle. Can you see if there are any traps from our place to the cliff?" After Chen Kun said "ok", he said to I looked at the ground for a long time, but could not come to a definite conclusion. Zhang Chaofan didn't want to waste time here with them, so he volunteered and said: "Fellow Taoists, let me explore the way in front. I just have to be more careful. In order to prevent sudden dangers from affecting everyone, please stay with me. Some distance." Zhong Ming and the others were eager for someone to go ahead and take the risk to explore the road, so they all hurriedly agreed, fearing that Zhang Chaofan would regret it. Zhang Chaofan saw the reactions of several people in his eyes. Among the five, only the beauty Zhou Xuemei did not show any impatient expression, and she was not bad-hearted.

After it was agreed that Zhang Chaofan would take the risk to explore the road ahead, Zhang Chaofan did not delay any longer. He raised his legs and walked slowly in front of him pretending to be very nervous. The next step is to lay the foundation and create an atmosphere. Because, he had already made up his mind to act alone during the subsequent treasure hunting process, and did not intend to bring these so-called proud men from Zhongzhou to play with him.

The twenty-foot distance didn't take long to cover despite their slow movement. The six of them arrived at the stone wall smoothly. Of these six people, only Zhang Chaofan knew it in his mind, and the other five people really came to explore. Zhong Ming asked Chen Kun: "Junior brother Chen, please carefully observe this stone wall and see if you can find a mechanism to enter the secret passage of the mountain cave?" Chen Kun agreed and immediately began to observe carefully there.

Zhang Chaofan didn't say anything. He just pretended to reach out and groped on the stone wall. He deliberately avoided the disguised stone door mechanism and touched almost the entire stone wall. Several people in Zhongzhou didn't notice him. At that moment, Zhang Chaofan's feet were suspended in the air, and he reached out and pressed on the mechanism hiding the door. A gap suddenly opened where Zhang Chaofan's body was. Zhang Chaofan ducked in and pressed the closing mechanism. The stone door immediately opened. Close up. Moreover, Zhang Chaofan also pressed the internal mechanism lock, so that even if he pressed the door opening mechanism from the outside, the stone door would not be able to be opened again.

When Zhang Chaofan entered the stone gate, he deliberately let out a loud scream, as if he encountered an emergency, causing others to misunderstand that he entered involuntarily and passively. Unexpectedly, this trick was quite effective. The five members of Lingyun Sect really thought that Zhang Chaofan was sucked in by the mechanism. Although they did not suspect that Zhang Chaofan was cheating, they did not give up the idea of ​​​​entering the cave treasure. They bombarded the hidden stone door, but the stone door was blocked by the formation. With the blessing of magic, no matter how hard the five of them tried, it had no effect and could not open the stone door. This made the five members of the Lingyun Sect stare anxiously at the location of the hidden stone gate.

Besides, since Zhang Chaofan entered the hidden stone door, he waited for the stone door to be closed again before he seriously looked at the space he was in now. This was a small foyer, connected to a narrow corridor, which was dark and gloomy. This can't help Zhang Chaofan. His Taixu Purple Immortal Eyes have already seen the situation in the passage clearly.

The foyer is not big, about ten square meters. Five steps away from Zhang Chaofan, there are two black iron men. One is holding a big sword in his hand, and the other is holding a large sword. Ax, the two black iron men are both very tall. Even the shorter one is a head taller than Zhang Chaofan. Farther away, at the main entrance of the passage, there are two brass men. , both bronze figures held a short stick of unknown material in their hands.

Zhang Chaofan stood close to the stone door that came in, thinking about ways to deal with those puppets, silently assessing the realm and combat power of those metal puppets, he used Taixu Hunyuanjing energy to transform himself into a protective shield, and then He activated the Taixu Confusion Footwork, and then took a step forward, staring closely at the two black iron men. When Zhang Chaofan took one step forward, although Zhang Chaofan was in a state of invisibility, the eyes of the two black iron men that were originally closed suddenly opened.

Two rays of light emitted from the open eyes of the two black iron puppets and shot towards Zhang Chaofan's position. However, Zhang Chaofan saw a confused look in the eyes of the two black iron puppets. Seeing the confused look in his eyes, Zhang Chaofan suddenly understood that although the two black iron puppets had sensed him at that moment, they could not sense that they were inside the Taixu Hunyuanjin energy protective shield. I am in the state of being lost in Taixu again. However, he still cautiously approached one of the two black iron puppets, walked around behind it, stretched out his hand to put it on his body, and his soul surged, covering all the black iron men. After a thought, the black iron puppet was in place. Gone.

Where did that black iron puppet go? Don't think too much, of course it was received by Zhang Chaofan from the safe world and handed over to Luzhu for processing. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chaofan followed the same method and brought another black iron puppet into the safe world.

Next, Zhang Chaofan quietly approached the entrance of the passage and successfully collected the two bronze puppets. Zhang Chaofan did not immediately enter the passage to explore, but retreated to the hidden stone door and sat down cross-legged. Taking out the 'Si Dao' from the Najie, Zhang Chaofan planned to upgrade the 'Si Dao' before entering the passage. He planned to refine the broken sword he got from the Treasure Building into the 'Si Dao'. As long as he can successfully refine the god-level broken sword into the 'like sword', the grade of the 'like sword' will be greatly improved. Zhang Chaofan did what he said. He took out the broken sword from Najie and used the magic power full of fire elements to wrap the 'like knife' and the broken sword at the same time. Then, he controlled the firepower and temperature, and only softened the 'like knife' instead of melting it. However, he completely melted the broken sword, allowing the melted liquid to penetrate into the softened 'like knife'. The two are fully integrated.

In order to improve the fusion between the two, he took out some mithril, melted the mithril, and fused it with 'Dao-like' to improve the fusion of various materials and enhance the flexibility, toughness and strength of 'Like-knife' , further improve the grade of 'Like a Knife', and carve a suitable magic circle to enhance the power of 'Like a Knife'. After all the steps were completed, Zhang Chaofan poured his magic power into the 'like knife'. After a slight wave, a burst of energy shot out. With a soft pop, the rock wall next to him was hit with a five-foot path. Deep slits.

Zhang Chaofan used his spiritual consciousness to check the gap, and estimated the power of a full blow with "Similar Knife", in preparation for using "Similar Knife" to ensure his own safety during the next adventure and treasure hunt. Zhang Chaofan felt that this time he upgraded the 'Similar Sword'. Although the 'Similar Sword' had been greatly improved, the effect was still far from what he wanted. Of course, the 'Similar Sword' was originally of a lower grade. High, it is impossible to reach an unattainable level in one step. You can only be satisfied with a certain improvement.

After refining the 'Like Sword', Zhang Chaofan took a breath. After resting for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Chaofan slowly stood up. He did not enter the passage immediately, but stood quietly for a while. His standing was not just a boring delay in treasure hunting. He was using this time to communicate with Lv Zhu and learn about Lv Zhu's research on the four metal puppets. Did he crack the method of controlling those metal puppets? Lu Zhu told Zhang Chaofan that after she used the rules of the Ping An World to suppress the metal puppets, she used the rules of the Ping An World to analyze and study the metal puppets. She had found a way to control them, which was to use her own consciousness to control them. , penetrate into the inside of the metal puppet through the eyes of the metal puppet, use the method of controlling the soul in the Taixu Soul Art, and plant the soul mark on the metal puppet to control these metal puppets well.

After hearing Lu Zhu's introduction, Zhang Chaofan silently recited a spell in his heart and entered the safe world. With the help of Lu Zhu, he planted soul marks on the four metal puppets. Then, he took two black iron statues with him. The puppets left the safe world together. He felt that this was the best arrangement. In this unknown underground world, it couldn't be better to have two lifeless metal puppets exploring the way. This allows him to avoid danger well, avoid possible harm, and ensure his own safety. Although he had many life-saving means, it would not be easy to lose his life, but if he was accidentally injured, he would inevitably have to endure terrible pain, and he did not want to suffer unnecessary injuries.

After Zhang Chaofan made these preparations, he took a closer look at the passage with Taixu Purple Immortal Eyes and found that except for the four silver metal puppets, there were no other traps. This made Zhang Chaofan He felt much more at ease, knowing that the four silver metal puppets were higher-level existences than the metal puppets he had collected. This made him not dare to be too careless. After Zhang Chaofan disappeared, he took the method of collecting other metal puppets just now and took the four silver metal puppets into the safe world at an extremely fast speed and handed them over to the safe world. Green beads to deal with. Zhang Chaofan is a person who is very afraid of trouble at heart. If he can do things without his own efforts, he will try his best not to do it himself. From this aspect, Zhang Chaofan is a person who only cares about the results and does not care about the process.

If you want to know what happened next, the next chapter will be more exciting.
