Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

Chapter 171: Chapter 114: Merits and Rewards_3

Right.

Though I don’t know what a soul is, it just hurts.

Even wearing leather armor, it feels like every inch of skin is being scraped with a dull knife.

The circulation of Qi Blood simply cannot stop.

And the scene outside the gate was even more surprising to Su Yue.

It’s an irregularly shattered opening, like a naughty child smashing glass, except this break is much larger, enough to let five people pass at once.

On the other side of the broken opening is a pitch-black darkness.

Su Yue thought, this is the kind of eerie gray that appears right before a monster shows up in a horror film.

”This is the breach the aliens opened back then, it’s terrifying!”

Su Yue exclaimed.

Led by Wang Mingqi, everyone stepped onto the stairs and then directly crossed the rupture.

Who could have thought.

When you take a step into the void, you end up stepping into soggy mud.

Indeed.

Su Yue’s sole was instantly soaked.

Looking up, there stood a majestic and towering city wall.

On top of the wall, many silhouettes moved back and forth.

Turning back to look.

The gate was already closed, and Su Yue and the others were positioned in a central and slightly rearward location like a military fortress.

”Brother, that wall ahead is the bulwark of the fortress. Because the climate in Wetland is strange, the government used very expensive materials, but it still needs replacement occasionally!”

”We can only see part of the fortress now; it’s actually quite large. The stationed soldiers of the Zhao Qi Corps exceed 100,000, and the rest of the Martial Artists rotate for rest at the Earth camp!”

Xu Baiyan explained.

Su Yue nodded.

One has to admit, it was still too overwhelming.

This primitive landscape, such imposing city walls, and the thick moss on the walls are filled with a sense of antiquity.

Su Yue felt like he had traveled back in time to ancient days, it was so scary.

”Let’s go, it’s always foggy here, and it doesn’t get very bright during the day. Even at night, you can see clearly, so there’s no concept of day and night, but through the light, we can roughly judge the time. Sunrise and sunset form a day, just like on Earth!”

Xu Baiyan led Su Yue towards the city gate.

”Sis, how does the military identify spies from the Yangxiang Race?”

Su Yue asked again.

”At the city gate, there are officers specially trained in detection tactics. They can remember the aura of everyone who leaves the fortress, with very low error rates.

”In Wetland, no electronic devices can be used, which is somewhat inconvenient!

”At other Wet Ghost Towers in other countries, there are often inspection mistakes, which is why the Yangxiang Race can infiltrate and cause trouble!”

As they spoke, they had already left the city gate.

The officers scrutinizing them were expressionless, their faces as severe as sculptures.

”Electronic devices? It’d be a miracle if they worked!”

Su Yue now felt as cold as if soaked in icy water.

This coldness was strange and indescribable.

It was the kind of damp cold that pierced to the bone, as if the soul were under attack, with no defenses, only relying on body heat to endure.

Moreover, the water vapor here seemed to have a faint corrosive effect.

It didn’t take long before some moss appeared on Su Yue’s clothes, likely including some microorganisms and bacteria.

Outside the fortress was a pitch-black primordial forest.

The trees in Wetland are very tall, very ugly, and their leaves have a black-gray color.

So tall you can’t see the top, their height is unsettling.

Too ugly to describe, each tree looks like a giant about to crush you underfoot.

What a godforsaken place!

After leaving the city gate, Su Yue’s Qi Blood boiled even more fiercely.

Fortunately, these five days of intense training in camouflage tactics paid off.

A week ago, he might have been struck by lightning by now.

Today truly broadened his horizons.

...

Deep in the Seventh District.

Under an inconspicuous boulder, there is a very deep cave, the entrance covered with camouflage, invisible to an ordinary person.

Inside the cave’s depths, a massive monster lay on the ground, covered in blood and continuously howling in agony.

Its head resembled a whale’s, its body like a hairless horse but much larger, roughly as big as three combined SUVs.

It was a Ning Beast!

A cub with royal bloodline, unfortunately captured by the vile Wuwen Race.

The Ning Beast roared mournfully.

Alas, this cave seemed to be cursed, as the Ning Beast’s inner Qi ring couldn’t activate its Qi Blood, leaving it unable to fight back, only letting its wounds spread.

The excruciating pain was suffocating.

Damn Wuwen Race!

Roar!

The Ning Beast awoke for a few seconds, then fainted again!

”This cave has been equipped with a suppression field by demonic tools. Whether you’re Wuwen Race, beast, or even of the Yangxiang Race, no one can use their Qi ring here.

”Here, I am the absolute King!”

In front of the Ning Beast, stood a middle-aged man with a sinister look, responsible for all the Ning Beast cub’s injuries.

Behind him followed two ’Humans.’

Actually, they should be called disguised members of the Yangxiang Race, whose eyes differ from humans, revealing a beastly gleam if not deliberately hidden.

In Wetland, characters have become a race... Wuwen Race.

”You two, keep using the Wuwen Race’s blood to irrigate the Ning Beast!

”Our clan’s divine water is gradually depleting, if the Yangxiang Race loses the ability to disguise, acting on Earth will become increasingly difficult!

”This time we must trigger the Ning Beast’s uprising, directly head to the Fifth Battlefield, help the allied forces break through the Wuwen Race’s fortress in one fell swoop... we three have been entrusted with this crucial mission, neglect is not acceptable!”
