Chapter 215: Deep Into the Forbidden Area, [Sand Island] Is Shaking!

After half a night of traveling.

The full moon in the sky was still hanging high, but the night began to quietly dissipate, and the sky became a little bright.

The place where Sha Jingjing brought Xia En was located a few thousand meters behind their tribal gathering place.

The terrain here is extremely steep, and the peaks on both sides are extremely tall.

There is no vegetation on it, and the exposed mountain body is dark yellow with a dark red color, which looks like mottled bloodstains.

But from a distance, you can't see the existence of these high mountains. Only when you get close to a certain range will they suddenly come into view.

Obviously, the environment here has been applied with some special hiding secrets, which can deceive most people's perception.

Xia En also vaguely noticed that the space nearby showed signs of distortion, and many places were contrary to common sense.

"That's it."

Sha Jingjing took Xia En to the foot of the two cliffs.

In front of him was a very narrow corridor, which could only allow two people to walk side by side.

And in the tunnel, there was a kind of pressure that made people feel palpitations.

It was as if there was some terrible monster hiding deep in the tunnel.

"This is the forbidden area of ​​our tribe, and it is also the location of the [Norwich Treasure]."

"A long time ago, we went deep into this place several times to explore for treasures, but all failed and caused a lot of casualties."

"Over time, the high priest will not let us enter here."

"Only when the tribe holds a coming-of-age ceremony will the young boys and girls who have just reached adulthood come to the forbidden area to be tested."

Tracie, who was following behind Shane, asked curiously: "Coming-of-age ceremony?"

"I remember that the elves also have a coming-of-age ceremony."

"When the elves reach the age, they will be taken to the elf mother tree, and the queen will personally wear a crown woven from the leaves of the sacred tree and receive the blessing of the mother goddess!"

"...Elves?"

Sha Jingjing said a little embarrassedly: "This is the first time I have heard of the existence of this race."

"However, the coming-of-age ceremony of our [Yongyue Clan] is far more cruel and dangerous than you said."

Her expression was sad and strong, so Tracy did not dare to ask any more questions.

At this time, Xia En said, "Miss Sha Jingjing, you can send them here."

"The rest of the way will be our own."

Although Xia En didn't know the specific situation of the coming-of-age ceremony of the [Yongyue Clan], his intuition was that there must be great danger hidden inside this narrow corridor.

Sha Jingjing was willing to bring them here, which was already a great kindness, and there was no need for her to put herself in danger.

Who knew that after hearing this, the silver wolf girl shook her head firmly.

"I want to enter the forbidden area together."

"No matter what, our clan has a great connection with this treasure."

"At least... I also want to take a look at what it is and why so many of my fellow tribesmen were killed."

On the way here, Sha Jingjing had made up her mind and would not be easily shaken, she continued.

"Besides, I just had my coming-of-age ceremony some time ago, so I have some understanding of the situation in the forbidden area."

"Take me with you, it will definitely help you explore the forbidden area."

Since Sha Jingjing said so, Xia En stopped persuading them and just said, "Okay, let's go."

Then, the three of them walked into the corridor with a fairy.

As soon as they entered the corridor, Xia En felt that his body was a little heavier.

He was slightly startled and quickly determined that the gravity field in the corridor had become stronger again.

In addition, the deeper into the corridor, the heavier the pressure.

Sha Jingjing whispered beside him: "This is the first test of the forbidden area. The tribesmen with poor physical fitness can't even reach the end of the corridor."

"But there are also tribesmen who use heavy pressure to temper their bodies."

This pressure is enough to make ordinary people difficult to walk.

But for the secret pathers with strong physical bodies like Xia En, An and Sha Jingjing, it is still within the tolerable range.

The only one who looked quite embarrassed was Tracy, who was lying on Shane's shoulder.

She couldn't even fly now.

While moving forward, Shane was also silently observing the scenery in the corridor.

The ground here was extremely compacted, and the density was probably no less than that of alloy.

But after walking for a while, Shane saw several clear footprints on the ground.

There was also a faint, fresh smell of blood in the air.

Seeing this, Sha Jingjing's face changed slightly: "Someone entered the forbidden area before us!"

Shane was not surprised by this.

It has been a while since the people from all forces came to [Sand Island]. No matter what means they use, there must be some people who can find this forbidden area.

But...

This smell of blood reminded Shane of Twilight of the vampire clan.

Moreover, even Shane had to admit that with Twilight's strength, if she really let her enter the forbidden area first, she would have a great chance of getting the treasure!

Thinking of this, Shane couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure in his heart.

"Fortunately, judging from the freshness of the bloody smell, she should not have been in the forbidden area for long, and there is still a possibility of overtaking."

"The more times like this, the more you can't be impatient."

Xia En took two deep breaths, and his mentality quickly calmed down. He walked at his own pace.

I don't know how long he walked.

When he reached the end, even Xia En felt that his body was unusually heavy and felt a little tired.

The only good news is——

[Comprehensive quality: 4.6→4.61! 】

Under the tempering of this strong gravity, the medicinal effect of the [Moon Essence] that had previously accumulated in Xia En's body was absorbed again.

Unfortunately, the current situation was urgent and there was no time for him to continue to use gravity to train his body.

Soon, Xia En took another step forward, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.

A wide and open space came directly into their vision.

In front of them was a terrain similar to a valley basin, surrounded by tall and rough rock walls.

In this gravity environment, it is almost impossible to climb out of this valley with bare hands.

Flying is even more difficult.

However, Xia En also noticed that there was a black mist in the air around him.

This black mist was somewhat similar to the dark wave when [Emerald Island] encountered [God's Wrath], and the shielding of perception was extremely strong.

With Xia En's perception, he could only penetrate more than ten meters.

Farther away, it was a blur.

Boom——

At this moment, a dull sound like an ancient war drum suddenly sounded.

Hearing this sound, Xia En felt numb all over, his blood was surging, and he felt indescribable discomfort.

Somewhere in the dark, it seemed that there was a terrible will that briefly set its sights on him.

Xia En suddenly realized that it was not the sound of a drum, but the beating of a heart!

Then, the ground under the feet of the group of people kept shaking, as if an earthquake had been triggered.

In fact.

Not only the area where Xia En and others were located, but also the natives and outsiders on the entire [Sand Island] heard this heartbeat and felt the vibration of the ground.

Even the battle-hardened pirates couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What happened?"

"Why did the earthquake suddenly happen? That muffled sound just now was..."

Among the pirates, an ugly man with scars all over his face and almost disfigured had bright eyes.

"The direction of the heartbeat is where the treasure is!"

"Brothers, follow me!"

The pirates next to him responded one after another: "Yes, Captain Gar!"

The disfigured man was the fifth-level pirate "Crazy" Gar!

Beside him, there was a weird man wrapped in bandages, who kept emitting the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder.

Under the bandages, a low and strange laugh came from time to time.

The other pirates were very afraid of this man and did not dare to approach him within ten meters.

Only Gar patted the bandaged weird man's shoulder without caring, and whispered: "Leo, this time I will definitely let you blow it up."

...

On the coast.

Carles and Huiyun also led several colleagues to get off the ship.

Due to the special environment of [Sand Island], ordinary secret pathers are greatly restricted. Not only can they not exert much combat power, but they will also become a burden.

So Carles only brought five or six elite men.

At this time, they all heard the dull heartbeat.

Karles was fine, her body was made of steel, so she didn't react much.

But Huiyun and the others didn't feel so good, and they all had an unspeakable palpitation.

Huiyun looked solemn, and murmured: "What on earth is the owner of this heartbeat?"

Karles, who knew some of the inside story in advance, was not too surprised, but just sighed.

"It's true, no wonder there are so few Federation strongmen willing to participate in this operation."

"Huh?"

Huiyun was surprised: "Lord Karles, what do you mean by this?"

Karles did not hide it, and said frankly: "Aren't you curious why I, a fifth-level secret pather, came to [Sand Island] this time?"

"Even the blood clan has a sixth-level twilight, and there will be more sixth-level strongmen in the Federation."

Huiyun was stunned and guessed: "Isn't it because of the special restrictions of [Sand Island]?"

Karles shook his head: "That's just one factor."

"Moreover, even if the restrictions of [Sand Island] limit the strength of the secret pather to the fifth level, it is necessary to select A group of fifth-level strongmen should not be a difficult task for the Federation, right? "

"The real reason behind this is actually..."

"The Federation does not attach much importance to the [Norwich Treasure] of [Sand Island]. "

Gray Cloud thought of the heartbeat just now and couldn't help asking: "What exactly is the treasure here?"

"I can only say that this treasure is not just money and equipment."

Carles continued: "It may be valuable to an individual, but it is not particularly valuable to the entire Federation."

"Compared to this exposed treasure, the Federation is more concerned about those treasures that are not known to the public."

Gray Cloud nodded in understanding.

The [Norwich Treasure] of [Sand Island] is only a part of the [Norwich Treasure].

Compared to competing with these hyena-like pirates, merchants, and blood clans, the Federation will naturally send more manpower and material resources to receive those treasures that only they know about.

...

Not far from Carles and others.

The black-haired woman in nun's clothes boarded the [Sand Island] alone.

Hearing the heartbeat, she couldn't help but raise her head and look towards the center of the island, with a strange emotion flashing in her beautiful eyes.

...

The indigenous tribe in the valley.

The old high priest felt the shaking of the earth and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Sir, it must be your arrival that awakens it!"

He knelt down in the direction of the forbidden area, with his forehead close to the ground, and prayed with the most pious attitude.

"May the moonlight bless you and open up a new future for us..."

...

...

When the vibration subsided.

Xia En finally clearly sensed the powerful breath in the depths of the black fog.

It's not that Xia En's perception is so powerful, but that the breath is too huge, covering the entire forbidden area!

If Xia En's breath is a pond, then it is a deep sea!

The heartbeat that shook the island came from the black fog.

"What was that just now?"

Xia En frowned slightly.

He had just walked out of the corridor, and such a movement was heard in the black fog. Could it be a simple coincidence?

Aside, Sha Jingjing couldn't help but be shocked.

In her impression, there has never been such a change in the forbidden area, and she has never heard of any heartbeat that shook the entire island.

"Could it be because of Captain Shane?"

"Is he really the Son of God in the prophecy?"

Sha Jingjing stared at Shane intently, as if she wanted to see the difference between him and the others.

But at this moment, a stone next to her feet suddenly rolled, and a black shadow rushed out from below, shooting straight at Sha Jingjing!

The [Great Dark Sky] around Shane was activated, directly pinning the black shadow with heavy pressure.

This is a strange-looking insect, with a body like a caterpillar, but with a finger-length spike on its head.

It seems to have a ferocious poison.

The alien insect's body kept struggling and bouncing, and every time it curled up and squirmed, Shane felt full of power.

It just flew as fast as a bullet.

This is in a forbidden area with extremely strong gravity. If it were placed in the outside world, the power of its flying shot would be enough to penetrate the human body.

Seeing this little insect, Sha Jingjing quickly straightened her expression, vigilantly observing the surroundings, and explained at the same time.

"Most of these bugs come from the desert. After entering the forbidden area, they undergo strange metamorphosis and are very dangerous."

"In addition to bugs, there are many other mutated creatures here, which can be regarded as the second test of the forbidden area."

As if to confirm Sha Jingjing's words, not long after, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly approached in the black fog.

It was a wild wolf!

Compared to the tiny bugs, the mutation of this wild wolf was more obvious.

Most of its flesh and blood had rotted, and its bones were directly exposed to the air, emitting bursts of rancid smell, but blending with the surrounding black fog.

Its state seemed to be between life and death, which made people feel uncomfortable instinctively.

Seeing this, Xia En frowned even more deeply.

The appearance of this wild wolf inexplicably reminded him of the image of the [Apostle of Filth] on [Emerald Island].

Is there any connection between the two?

"Be careful, this is the Death Mist Wolf! It will..." Before Sha Jingjing finished her words, the rotten wolf brought out a gust of evil wind and rushed straight towards Shane!
