The seven-colored deer was jumping and skipping with great joy, after all, being able to enter the ancient battlefield was something he never dared to dream of in his life.
Seeing the expectant expressions on each face, Liu Ziming remained silent, turning and moving forward quietly. He had to ensure everyone's safety, so his group went ahead. "Can you feel a chilling aura? I feel a bit shivering all over."
After walking for about five or six minutes, the Seven-Colored Deer looked terrified, her body trembling, and she looked at the cat angel and asked in a low voice, "One."
"Don't scare me! I'm having a weird feeling too, my body is trembling uncontrollably. Is this place really like what that guy Liu Ziming said? That's fucking terrifying!" The cat angel's teeth were chattering, making a clicking sound. Although the sound wasn't loud, it was clear that he was extremely unsettled. "Slime Realm Sister, Slime Realm Sister, slow down! Don't you have any other strange feelings?"
The cat angel reached out and pulled over the slime mirror of the cat in front of her, looking at him and wondering if he had any other strange feelings.
"What are you doing? Do you regret it? If you do, you can choose to leave now, but no one will go back with you."
In truth, the Slime Mirror was now filled with regret, regretting entering this damned entrance to the ancient battlefield. If they hadn't entered, they might have had other options.
"Slime Mirror, that's not what I meant. Seven-Colored Deer and I both feel a little scared. A cold aura seems to be surrounding us. Don't you feel the same way?" Although Slime Mirror's tone was a bit unfriendly, Cat Angel didn't take it to heart at all. He just wanted to know how he felt.
"You two are really annoying. What's there to be afraid of? Can't you see everyone is moving forward silently? Just keep up with the group and don't fall behind."
Slime Mirror didn't pause while speaking; he needed to make sure he could see where Liu Ziming was, otherwise he wouldn't dare act this way. "Sigh, asking is pointless. Slime Mirror is always like this; if he were afraid, he certainly wouldn't have said anything."
The cat angel glanced back at the seven-colored deer, its expression one of utter helplessness. It couldn't glean anything from the slime mirror's face or tone, and it shrugged helplessly, looking utterly resigned. "Spider Boss, we've been walking for so long, and the deeper we go, the stronger the chilling aura becomes. Could it be the remnants of these ancient battlefields watching us, causing this strange feeling?" Even the Flame Dragon Elder was becoming uneasy. A strange aura made him feel uncomfortable, though he could resist it, a nagging feeling lingered. "Old man, if it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have chosen to enter this entrance?"
Before Liu Ziming could say anything, the giant ape elder looked particularly annoyed, glanced at the fire dragon, and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
Ask for flowers.
Normally, the Flame Dragon would definitely have retorted, but he also sensed that the strange atmosphere made him uncomfortable, so he silently endured it.
"If the two seniors' estimates are correct, we might really enter the ancient battlefield after walking a few hundred meters? Once we enter the ancient battlefield, anything can happen. I'm really starting to regret it now." The Giant Ape Senior and the Flame Dragon Senior never dreamed that Liu Ziming, who led them into the entrance of the ancient battlefield, would now say he regretted it. The expressions on their faces were particularly strange, and they didn't quite understand.
"...Ahem, Spider Master, you didn't sense anything, did you? If you sensed something, you could have told everyone beforehand. Even if we didn't believe you, we'd still be mentally prepared." Before entering the entrance, Liu Ziming's family had issued a warning, but everyone seemed indifferent, which is why the Giant Ape Elder spoke up. "Exactly! Things have already developed to this point, what's the use of complaining? If it were meaningful, you could complain all you want?"
The old Flame Dragon finally got a chance to retort to the old Giant Ape with a few words, and his inner emotions were released, making him feel a little more at ease.
“Since entering the Monster Forest, this guy’s mind has completely changed. He’s filled with greed for everything. This trend is really dangerous. What should I do?” After saying this, Liu Ziming continued forward without pausing, but his mind remained tense, constantly thinking about various strategies for entering the ancient battlefield. “Tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk!”
As a series of strange sounds suddenly rang out, a clicking sound echoed in everyone's ears, filling his heart with an eerie feeling.
"What the hell is this? Are we about to enter an ancient battlefield from the distant past? Otherwise, why would we have this strange feeling?"
Chapter 384 The Terrifying Ancient Battlefield Part Two
Even the usually composed and calm giant ape elder felt something was amiss, as the terrifying sounds made him feel uneasy.
"We have arrived at the edge of the ancient battlefield left over from the ancient times. Just a few more steps forward and we will truly enter the ancient battlefield!"
To everyone's surprise, after the terrifying sound appeared, Liu Ziming actually stopped, his eyes fixed intently on something not far ahead, as if he had discovered something. "Liu Ziming, what are you muttering about? Have you made another new discovery?"
Slime Mirror crossed his arms, somewhat confused. He was walking along just fine, and although a strange sound appeared, why did he stop like this? "Slime Mirror, Liu Ziming stopped at '210' because he must have discovered something new and strange, otherwise he would never act like this?" Because a feeling of panic was growing more and more terrifying, Cat Angel pulled on Slime Mirror's shoulder and said softly.
"Alright, this is the true entrance to the ancient battlefield. As long as we work together to open this barrier, we can truly enter."
Liu Ziming completely ignored what the others were saying or thinking. Pointing to a patch of misty fog in front of him, he said with a lost look, "Holy crap, do we have to break through this barrier to enter the ancient battlefield of the ancient era? No wonder so few people have discovered this place." "My goodness, why does this barrier feel like it's churning? It's even more terrifying than when we entered the Monster Forest. It's fucking scary!"
"No wonder this feeling of palpitation made me feel unwell. It turns out that the swirling, misty fog in front of me is actually a barrier, guarding an ancient battlefield. How strange!" Liu Ziming suddenly stopped, pointed to the deep, misty fog in front of him, and said calmly to everyone.
If Liu Ziming hadn't discovered something, he would never have done this. Everyone knows he has the ability to sense things in advance, so they believe him without a doubt.
"Hehe, leave this matter to me. It just so happens that after I awakened my ancient ancestral dragon bloodline, I didn't fully demonstrate the ancestral dragon's strength when I killed a magical beast of the ninth rank or above last time. This barrier might be a test for me, and it's a good opportunity to show the ancestral dragon's strength?"
Although everyone else found the barrier around their eyes rather strange, the Flame Dragon Elder seemed extremely excited, transforming into a giant Flame Dragon Flying Tiger and soaring through the air with an air of great arrogance. "Flame Dragon Elder, you must be very careful. This barrier is completely different from the one we used to directly cross over here last time!"
Before Liu Ziming could finish speaking, the Flame Dragon Elder flew into the air, swinging its long tail, and transformed into a huge ball of flame that crashed directly into the barrier in front of it, which was the ever-flowing mist.
With a deafening roar, everyone felt as if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting apart; the sound was incredibly loud.
The old Flame Dragon drew a huge flame, which was then swallowed up by the barrier of his eyes and disappeared without a trace, making him look particularly terrifying.
"Holy crap, no wonder Liu Ziming kept saying this barrier was weird. The Flame Dragon Elder had already awakened the bloodline of the ancient ancestral dragon, but he was still swallowed up by this strange barrier. It seems he underestimated the terrifying power of this barrier."
Everyone mistakenly believed that the Flame Dragon Elder had been swallowed up by the barrier in front of them, but they did not expect that the giant fireball drawn by the Flame Dragon Elder would pass directly through the barrier in front of them, and the barrier had begun to loosen.
Originally, Liu Ziming wanted to stop the Flame Dragon Elder from doing this, but he did not expect that the Flame Dragon Elder's reckless actions seemed to provide him with a new idea, so his eyes lit up as if he understood something.
"Don't be surprised, everyone. The barrier in front of us has clearly begun to loosen. The Flame Dragon Elder has completely passed through it using his own energy. If you want to enter the ancient battlefield, this may be the best and simplest way?"
Hearing Liu Ziming say that, everyone felt much more relaxed. If the Flame Dragon Elder had really been swallowed up by the barrier in front of them, they would have been truly heartbroken. After all, they had spent so much time together and had developed feelings for each other...
"Then what are we waiting for? Can't we break through the barrier in front of us using the abilities of our bloodline?"
The Slime Mirror's fiery personality didn't apply to the barrier before it. Since the Flame Dragon elder could use his bloodline to travel to the past and enter this barrier, what's so remarkable about it? "Spider Boss, did you really sense that the Flame Dragon guy traveled through time? Wasn't he swallowed up by this barrier?"
Although he heard Liu Ziming say that, the giant ape elder still seemed uneasy, his expression extremely solemn.
Although he and the Flame Dragon used to love bickering, he would definitely not feel good if the guy just disappeared like that.
"Don't worry, Senior Giant Ape, my senses shouldn't be wrong. If we don't cross over immediately, I'm afraid Senior Flame Dragon alone won't be able to withstand the onslaught of resentment from the ancient battlefield." Actually, Liu Ziming could easily cross the barrier, but these people didn't have his strength, so he had to remind everyone that they needed to act quickly to enter the ancient battlefield. "Oh, is that so?" Hearing Liu Ziming's reminder, Senior Giant Ape didn't hesitate at all. He waved his hand and used both hands and feet to create a huge hole in the barrier, appearing extremely arrogant. "My goodness, Senior Giant Ape actually has such terrifying strength! How come I've never noticed before? Has he been hiding it?"
Faced with the enormous hole and void before them, everyone felt a sense of unease. The giant ape elder had awakened the bloodline of the ancient ape—it was truly terrifying! "What are we waiting for? Let's hurry and cross over, or the Flame Dragon elder will really be in danger alone!"
Without hesitation, Liu Ziming grabbed the silly-looking cat angel and the seven-colored deer, one in each hand, and tossed them over.
Chapter 385 The Terrifying Ancient Battlefield (Part 3)
"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"
A sudden scream echoed across the edge of the ancient battlefield, because Liu Ziming, without any hesitation, had dragged them all over one by one. "What are you doing? Don't I have arms and legs? Do I need you to do this?"
Once inside the ancient battlefield, Slime Jing didn't even bother to look at his surroundings. He actually turned around and started gesturing wildly at Liu Ziming, who was the last to enter, as if he wanted to spar with him. "You'd better take a look around. If you want to do that, I don't mind?"
Looking at Liu Ziming, whose lips curled into a wicked smile, Slime Mirror felt a chill run down its spine. Had this guy discovered something again? "Everyone, don't panic! This place is the edge of the ancient battlefield!"
Just as the Slime Mirror was about to say something, the old Flame Dragon appeared before them, panting heavily, looking extremely dejected. He shouted loudly, "Holy crap, old man, are you really alright? That's amazing!"
Seeing the Flame Dragon Elder running towards him, the Giant Ape Elder didn't hesitate at all. He rushed forward and hugged him tightly, looking extremely happy. "Ahem, old monkey, you'd better let go of me. This place isn't what we imagined. No wonder Liu Ziming kept reminding us before."
Perhaps because he hadn't expected the giant ape elder to hold him so tightly, or perhaps because of what he had just experienced, his qi was extremely unstable, and he spoke directly, "Everyone be careful. This is only the edge of the ancient battlefield. If we truly enter the ancient battlefield, it probably won't be so easy."
Liu Ziming knew that now that they were in the ancient battlefield, he had to take the lead. If he let these guys act rashly, who knew what kind of trouble they might cause? That's why he said what he did. "You'd better not point fingers at us, or I definitely won't take you seriously."
In fact, Liu Ziming had already expected that the slime would do this, so without any hesitation, he reached out his palm and gently patted the slime's back.
The Slime Mirror felt a terrifying energy instantly surge through its entire body, leaving it stunned and frozen in place.
"Listen to me, everyone. This ancient battlefield must be a rebirth of resentment, otherwise it would never have been preserved until now. Don't you see the white bones scattered all over the ground?"
Because these people had just transmigrated, they hadn't had a chance to see what was there. They only felt a sense of panic. Hearing Liu Ziming say this, they looked in the direction he was pointing. "My god, this is terrifying! Those deep piles of white bones are like small mountains. How many people's remains are there?"
The cat angel covered his mouth with his hand, trying his best not to show it, but the deathly silence in front of him and the mountains of white bones did make him feel uneasy.
"My goodness, this is an ancient battlefield left over from ancient times. We haven't even really entered its core area yet, but the feeling of deathly stillness is already making my heart tremble. It's really too terrifying?"
The giant ape elder looked in the direction Liu Ziming was pointing. Although the mountain of bones made him feel a little panicked, he knew that the bones were not all human bones, but also the bones of some other demonic beasts. However, it was enough to make people feel uneasy.
"But don't panic about these things. If I'm not mistaken, as we walk past them, if you touch them with any part of your body, they will instantly turn to ashes." Hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, everyone's eyes were filled with disdain.
Because they simply couldn't believe that the things left over from the ancient battlefield could be destroyed so easily. If they believed Liu Ziming, they would be complete fools.
Before anyone could react, Liu Ziming transformed into a giant afterimage and charged directly towards the mountain of bones before him. Using both hands and feet, streams of pure energy surged from his body, piercing through the mountain of bones like a sharp sword.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
With a few soft sounds, the mountain of white bones indeed vanished instantly, as if they had never existed. But an even stranger phenomenon unfolded before everyone's eyes.
"Holy crap, it seems Liu Ziming really wasn't lying. But the scene before us is too bizarre! The mountain of bones has disappeared, but what's this? Is it an ancient city?" Because as the mountain of bones vanished, a faint outline of an ancient city appeared before them. Everyone was a little uneasy. Wasn't this an ancient battlefield from ancient times? How could there be ruins of an ancient city?
However, Liu Ziming smiled at everyone, waving his hand repeatedly to signal them to come over quickly, as if he had discovered something. His expression was particularly excited. "My goodness, this guy is too audacious. Ever since he awakened his bloodline, it's as if the evil god has possessed his body. He's capable of anything?"
Although Slime Jing muttered something under his breath, he didn't hesitate at all. He rushed to Liu Ziming's side as fast as he could, as if afraid something might happen to him. "What are you guys waiting for? Do you expect me to carry you over like chicks?"
The giant ape wore a calm smile as he looked at the two little creatures, the cat angel and the seven-colored deer. He noticed that they were staring blankly ahead, seemingly stunned by the scene before them. "Ah, no need, no need, we'll get there ourselves?"
Perhaps it was the words of the giant ape elder that instantly snapped the two guys out of their surprise. They gritted their teeth, and although they felt a little scared, they still ran over.
"Don't panic, everyone. Did you see an ancient city in the distance? Those are just illusions, caused by too much resentment here."
Chapter 386 Somewhat Regretful About Coming Here
Hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, everyone nodded heavily. They had indeed seen the appearance of an illusory ancient city in the distance, but why did it disappear when they got closer? Everyone was puzzled.
"You mean we only see images of resentment from a distance, but they disappear when we get closer?"
Having arrived beside Liu Ziming, the Seven-Colored Deer grew a bit bolder and asked him a mischievous question.
Even if this guy hadn't asked, Liu Ziming would have answered everyone anyway. After all, they had already entered the ruins of the ancient battlefield, and if he didn't tell everyone about his situation, everyone would inevitably be in danger.
"Hehe, what we see in the ancient battlefield is not necessarily real. It's all an illusion created by some low-level resentment. They want to devour your spiritual power, dreaming that one day they can be truly reborn. Only these guys dare to think like that?"
Hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, everyone felt uneasy. Could the resentment in the ancient battlefield really devour their spiritual power? That would be terrifying! "Don't listen to Liu Ziming's nonsense. The resentment in the ancient battlefield is just an imaginary thing. I haven't seen it at all!" The slime was unhappy that Liu Ziming was ignoring him and said to him with a hint of resentment.
"Slime Mirror, don't mess around here. If you keep messing around, I'll completely seal away your thoughts and will, making you like a walking corpse. Don't think I won't do that."
Slime Mirror never expected that Liu Ziming would show him no mercy in front of everyone, and with such a serious expression on his face, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, and his expression was strange.
"Spider-Master, is it really that dangerous?"
Since the giant ape elder had not seen how the resentment Liu Ziming spoke of existed or appeared, he asked with some unease.
Before Liu Ziming could answer the giant ape elder's question, the flame dragon elder appeared extremely anxious, interrupting the conversation between the giant ape elder and Liu Ziming. He blurted out, sounding utterly panicked, "Old monkey, you absolutely mustn't ignore him or disregard what Liu Ziming says. The resentment he speaks of is real, and his abilities are definitely beyond our imagination!"
Seeing the somewhat terrifying expression on the old Flame Dragon's face, the old Giant Ape was truly uneasy. His strength was on par with this old Flame Dragon, so was he really that terrifying? "Old man, what have you been through? Why do you look so terrifying? Can you tell us so we can all be prepared?"
The giant ape elder noticed the look of fear on the fire dragon elder's face and realized that this guy was not joking at all, so he spoke with a rather solemn expression.
"You have no idea how much resentment there is here. It's really as much as that guy Liu Ziming said. It's like flies buzzing around you, and it's so menacing that it could devour you at any moment, leaving you mentally exhausted." The old Flame Dragon looked somewhat apprehensive as he spoke of this.
Hearing the Fire Dragon Elder's somewhat exaggerated words, everyone was filled with fear and became truly unsettled. Some even regretted coming to this place.
But there was no way back now that they were already inside. The entrance they had just entered through was completely blocked by the barrier.
Although the barrier had been slightly weakened by their actions, it has now been completely restored, and the entrance has disappeared entirely.
"Don't panic, everyone. It's not that terrifying. Although the ancient battlefield is fraught with danger and resentment, it's not without ways to deal with it. If we all work together, perhaps this will be an opportunity?" Liu Ziming thought to himself, "Now that we're here, is there any way back? Rather than wasting everyone's time, it's better to give them more confidence." That's why he said that. "You stinky spider, you better not lie to us, or else!"
The Slime Mirror's voice abruptly stopped, his face contorted with terror. He had witnessed a resentful figure flash past him, but when he reached out to grab it, he grasped nothing. "What's wrong? Did you see something? Don't panic. Those are just low-level resentments, perhaps related to your inner thoughts?"
Because Liu Ziming noticed the incredibly terrified expression on Slime's face, he knew that this guy must have seen something, otherwise he would never be acting like this.
"I clearly saw a child's figure fly past me, but when I reached out to grab it, I couldn't catch anything. Could this child also be a resentment from ancient times?" Because when the child's phantom flew past him, it had an evil smile on its lips and glanced at the slime mirror, which is why he looked like that.
"Let me first give you some basic information about ancient battlefields. The causes involved are divided into many levels, the lowest being bronze, and so on upwards, eventually reaching the level of gods. Those causes are beyond our capabilities, so everyone must be careful."
Because Liu Ziming felt that since they had already arrived at the ruins of the ancient battlefield, those resentful spirits must have already been watching them, so they wouldn't have much time left. He simply gave everyone a brief introduction to the situation. "My goodness, the resentment in the ancient battlefield is actually divided into levels! That means strength is also ranked. Otherwise, why bother dividing it into levels?"
Because everyone was together, the Seven-Colored Deer seemed particularly excited. Entering the ancient battlefield meant a chance to obtain treasures, and he completely forgot about all the terrifying things that had happened. "You're a silly girl. This place is fraught with danger, but also full of opportunities. Don't act rashly, or you'll regret it," the Flame Dragon Elder said with some concern, looking at the Seven-Colored Deer's somewhat excited expression.
Chapter 387 A Different Kind of Moonlight
However, Liu Ziming didn't care about any of that right now. He noticed that since entering the ancient battlefield, Yuebai, the daughter of the Demon King's City Lord, had been behaving strangely. She hadn't uttered a single word, and her expression was particularly wicked. "My goodness, this girl is hiding her true intentions too well. She's so cunning, and she even seems a little smug. Could it be that she planned to lure us in here all along?"
