Chapter 1322
1322 Climbing and hunting
On the top of the first floor of the wild building of the spiritual ruins, the ground was almost barren.
Tang Zhen used a full three days before he finally climbed to the top of a remote path. When he recalled the various encounters he had along the way, Tang Zhen could not help but shake his head.
The difficulty of exploring the wild building of the spirit ruins was indeed extremely high. Even with Tang Zhen’s cultivation, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. During this period of time, he even encountered the attack of a group of monsters and used a full half a day to completely escape.
After experiencing how terrifying the wild building of the spirit ruins was, Tang Zhen’s following journey became more and more careful. Only then did he arrive at his destination without any danger.
Before Tang Zhen’s arrival, there were already many cultivators gathered here. The number of people had even far exceeded the number of people at the entrance. From their conversation, one could tell that many cultivators had already stayed here for quite a long time.
One had to pay a fee to enter this place, and it was even more difficult to climb to the top of the first floor. The cultivators naturally had to make enough money before they left.
After passing through a few camps built by cultivators, Tang Zhen stood on the ruins of a building and slowly observed the surroundings.
The wild building of the spiritual ruins was like a mountain that had been cut into several sections. The cut was smooth and flat, like a huge natural square, and one couldn’t see the end of it.
Clouds of energy drifted slowly, making it look like a Fairyland. However, there was a hidden killing intent in this beautiful scenery. It was possible that monsters were hiding in the clouds of energy, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the cultivators who entered.
There were still many building ruins nearby, but their original appearance could no longer be seen. It was obvious that the cultivators of loucheng city had searched this place countless times, even the building ruins shrouded in energy clouds.
Even so, there were still people searching in the ruins, trying to find the missing treasures.
In the middle of the spiritual ruins Warzone, there were very few monsters in the wild. This was the result of the main control platform’s deliberate control. For the buildings in this area, those monsters had already lost their meaning of training.
If the cultivators in loucheng wanted to obtain resources for cultivation, they had to participate in the invasion of other worlds, accept missions within the loucheng, or enter places like the wild building of the spiritual ruins to hunt for treasures and kill monsters.
Nothing is perfect in this world. While the cultivators in loucheng city enjoyed the advantage of cultivation, they also faced the problem of resource shortage.
Tang Zhen sized up his surroundings before heading straight for the vines that were hanging down in the distance.
At this moment, the top of Tang Zhen’s head was filled with drifting clouds of energy. It completely covered the bottom of the second floor of the wild building. Only vines drooped down from the clouds. This was the only path for the cultivators to head to the second floor.
Due to the nourishment of the energy cloud, these vines were unusually thick and could be seen everywhere with a diameter of several meters. The most peculiar thing was that there were parasitic vines on top of these vines, constantly growing from top to bottom.
At this time, there were already many cultivators clinging to the vines and moving up carefully. They were fully focused during the whole process to avoid falling from the sky.
It would take at least half a day to successfully reach the second level, which was extremely physically exhausting. Under the circumstances where their strength was suppressed, once a cultivator fell from a high altitude, there was basically no possibility of survival.
Even though there were all kinds of drawbacks, the wild building of the spiritual ruins was extremely helpful for the improvement of a cultivator’s strength. Many cultivators who were stuck at the threshold of promotion found an opportunity to break through here.
Of course, the main reason was that there were simply too many treasures here, so cultivators were willing to take the risk to enter.
Tang Zhen fixed the items on his body. He found a vine that looked relatively sturdy and scuttled up with a gentle force.
This kind of vine was very tough, and its thick leaves were almost the size of a single bed. The cultivators crawled slowly like ants, and every step was very careful.
In the gaps between the vines, one could see ropes and debris left by cultivators from time to time. The sunken area was used as a temporary resting place, and cultivators who were tired from climbing would rest for a while.
In addition to the danger of falling from a high altitude, there were also all kinds of monsters living in the energy clouds and vines. They would attack cultivators from time to time, and many cultivators had died under the sneak attacks of these monsters.
Tang Zhen used both his hands and feet and climbed up like a spirit ape. He quickly climbed to the end of a giant vine.
Just as he was about to jump onto another vine, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the energy cloud and headed straight for his position.
Tang Zhen, who was already prepared, grabbed the vine with one hand. A cold glint flashed in his other hand as a flying knife left his hand and directly hit the black shadow that was flying towards him.
The monster that was shot by the flying knife screamed in pain. It flapped its wings a few times and fell down. It turned out to be a large purple bat with sharp fangs.
After sweeping a glance at the indistinct black figures within the energy cloud, Tang Zhen turned his head and continued to climb. However, every time a monster sneaked an attack, he would always throw out a throwing knife in time to kill the monster.
After continuously crawling for an hour or so, the distance to the ground was getting further and further. However, due to the clouds and fog, Tang Zhen was completely unable to tell the exact height he was at.
Tang Zhen found a depression at the place where the vines intersected and sat down. He slowly recovered his exhausted physical strength.
In the process of crawling, Tang Zhen found that his physical strength was being consumed more and more. It was obvious that as he climbed up, the suppression of the wild building of the spiritual ruins on cultivators would become stronger and stronger.
No wonder no one had been able to obtain the foundation stone of the building for so many years. Even Tang Zhen felt that it was so difficult with his strength, let alone those ordinary cultivators of the building.
After taking out some food from the storage space and eating it, Tang Zhen took out a black metal plate. Under the sharp purple electric short sword’s cutting, this alloy plate that could block rifle bullets was cut into half a foot long flying knives like mud.
Tang Zhen took out a leather vest that was similar to a tactical vest and neatly inserted the flying Daggers into it. The rest was kept in his storage space.
As he got closer and closer to the top of the wild building in spirit ruins, Tang Zhen had to be prepared that his mobile application would also be suppressed. Many of the methods that he had long been unable to use were now available to him.
Tactical backpack, armor, firearms, and sabers. Tang Zhen took out one item after another and put them on his body one after another. His entire appearance had completely changed.
Tang Zhen stood up and moved around. Just as he was about to continue climbing, he heard a conversation coming from below the clouds. It was obvious that there were cultivators approaching.
Tang Zhen ignored the other party and prepared to continue climbing up. However, just as he placed his hand on the vine, his action suddenly stiffened.
Less than fifty meters away from him, there was a snake-shaped monster with four pairs of sharp claws. It was tens of meters long and its entire body was emerald green. It was slowly approaching Tang Zhen’s position.
Outside the wild building of the spirit ruins, Tang Zhen could easily destroy this monster. However, under the suppression of the strength of the wild building of the spirit ruins, this monster could pose a great threat to Tang Zhen.
A trace of nervousness and excitement that he had not felt for a long time rose in Tang Zhen’s heart as he watched the monster that was continuously approaching. He slowly drew the battle blade from his waist and stared intently at the monster that was getting closer and closer.
The monster was obviously staring at him as well. Its six cold eyes locked onto his position, and its blood-red tongue kept flicking in and out.
“Brother, what are you doing?”
A cultivator emerged from the clouds and happened to see Tang Zhen, who was on full alert with a battle saber in his hand. He was just about to greet Tang Zhen when he felt a strong wind brushing against his face.
“Be careful!”
Tang Zhen grabbed the cultivator who fell down in panic. The saber in his hand swept the tongue of the monster. After causing a spray of blood, he grabbed a vine that was as thick as a wrist and swung it toward the monster’s location.
The monster whose tongue was cut by the saber let out a roar. It moved quickly on the vines as if it was walking on flat ground and went straight to Tang Zhen’s position.
“Whoosh!”
Three throwing knives were thrown out by Tang Zhen. One of them stabbed into the scales at the edge of the monster’s eye sockets, while the other two shot the monster’s eyes!
The snake-shaped monster that was blinded howled. It only used its two legs at the back to grab the vines. Soon after, its entire body rose into the air and bit toward Tang Zhen who was in midair.
Seeing that the monster’s large mouth was getting closer and closer, Tang Zhen made use of the vines to flip backwards and avoided the monster’s attack by a few millimeters. At the same time, his two feet heavily stepped on the monster’s back.
“Go to hell!”
Tang Zhen furiously roared as he ruthlessly stabbed his saber into the monster’s head. The stinky fresh blood scattered in the air along with the wind.
“Bang!”
The monster’s corpse fell from the vines. Tang Zhen grabbed the vines that passed by him and held the blood-dripping saber as he laughed wildly in the wind!
