Ch 11: Forbidden Zone? Blessed Land!
“Among the Nine Great Forbidden Zones, three are very special and are known as the Three Great Mobile Forbidden Zones.
Mobile Forbidden Zones are essentially three small spaces, with the location of their entrances changing according to no rules. Even World-Ending Strongmen find it difficult to discover their entrance locations in advance. Once a living being steps into one, they will be teleported inside.”
Xia Jiuyuan looked at the puppet beside him and continued to say to Liu Xixi:
“As far as I know, this is one of the Three Great Mobile Forbidden Zones, the Hundred Treasures Garden.
Only beings below Heavenly Disaster are allowed to enter. When the number of people entering reaches a certain amount, the entrance to the Hundred Treasures Garden will close and its location will change.
For those still inside who have not left, every time one person leaves, the Forbidden Zone’s location will change, until everyone inside dies or leaves, and the entrance reopens.
If I remember correctly, 66 years have passed since the last time we entered the Hundred Treasures Garden.
Of course, don’t panic; the Hundred Treasures Garden is known as the safest Forbidden Zone.”
Looking at Liu Xixi’s red little face, so shy, Xia Jiuyuan had something he didn’t say.
The initial position upon entering is randomly assigned, but if the two are tightly intertwined when entering, there’s a small chance they’ll spawn together.
When he opened his eyes, Liu Xixi had already woken up and saw him fumbling around after he woke up.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the two of them likely entered while pressed against each other.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but thinking about it, he seemed to catch Liu Xixi’s fragrance on himself.
Liu Xixi still didn’t know that Xia Jiuyuan had guessed the general truth and asked, pretending to be calm:
“The safest?”
“That’s right, because the theoretical survival rate in this Forbidden Zone can reach one hundred percent. Do you see that puppet?” Xia Jiuyuan pointed to the puppet beside him and continued:
“If we tell it that we give up the trial, we can be directly teleported back to the entrance.
But hey… this is the Hundred Treasures Garden, and the variety of strange flowers and fruits inside is even more than what’s recorded in our Ask Dao Sect’s Spirit Plant Compendium!
You can tell the puppet what Spirit Plant you want and undertake a trial, and the reward for winning will be yours.”
“What if I fail?”
“Death.”
Xia Jiuyuan smiled.
“If you don’t talk to this puppet and explore on your own, you’ll most likely die too. If you’re greedy and choose to trial again after winning, you’ll also die.
At least there are no cases of surviving after doing so so far.
The difficulty of the trial is related to one’s own Rank and the preciousness of the chosen Spirit Plant.
But overall, it still depends on luck, so it doesn’t mean a genius will definitely survive, or an ordinary person will definitely die.
In such a situation, most ordinary people who mistakenly end up here will choose to trial, after all, if they succeed, they might soar into the sky.
But, the overall death rate of trials is quite high, as it is a Forbidden Zone.
So, that’s the general situation. Do you know why we appeared here?”
Because Liu Xixi appeared very flustered when Xia Jiuyuan woke up, he first explained what he knew to comfort the startled Liu Xixi.
After she understood her current predicament, she was no longer nervous and slowly said:
“We were poisoned, but my Uncle Master knows. However, I also fell into a coma at the time, so I don’t know why we appeared here…”
Xia Jiuyuan pondered, “They messed up… I can even imagine Uncle Li and your Uncle Master anxiously waiting at the entrance of the Forbidden Zone right now…
Of course, that’s assuming we didn’t have such bad luck that the entrance didn’t move.”
Liu Xixi, even though she knew, couldn’t help but ask, “What if… what if the entrance just happened to move?”
“Then when we go back, we might be randomly located anywhere on this planet.”
Liu Xixi glanced at the calm Xia Jiuyuan, thinking that if such a situation truly occurred, wouldn’t the two of them have to depend on each other for a long time?
Thinking of this, the scene of her just waking up involuntarily reappeared in her mind.
Her legs were clamped around his waist, her arms were tightly around his neck, and her tongue was still licking his neck…
Too… too embarrassing!
Moreover, ever since licking his neck, Liu Xixi felt that Xia Jiuyuan’s body was even more alluring, and she really wanted to suck some of his blood…
The reason Liu Xixi agreed to Xia Jiuyuan’s invitation at first was partly because she could feel the pure kindness from Xia Jiuyuan.
On the other hand, she always felt that Xia Jiuyuan’s body was very alluring…
That’s right, it seemed she was craving Xia Jiuyuan’s body!
Xia Jiuyuan saw Liu Xixi blush inexplicably again and decisively chose to interrupt her wandering thoughts.
“Ahem! So Liu Xixi, do you want to trial?”
Liu Xixi, whose thoughts were interrupted, perked up her tail and responded with a swallow:
“Ah! Oh… as for the trial, I feel alright, I have many Life-Saving Items—”
“No, according to the Intelligence, all your external items will have their Power restricted during the trial.”
“Is that so… but I still want to try, I feel very strong.”
“Haha,”
Xia Jiuyuan smiled. Life should be like this! This is an opportunity many people can’t even beg for. If they return empty-handed, they truly don’t deserve to be Seekers of the Dao!
“Then let’s both try this so-called Forbidden Zone.”
“You want to undertake the trial too?!”
“Don’t underestimate me, Xixi.”
Liu Xixi’s pretty face blushed slightly, “Who are you calling Xixi… Since you also want to challenge, then fine, keep up with me.”
Xia Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, “I forgot to mention, challenges can only be undertaken alone. Did you think I was going to challenge with you and rely on my strength?”
Hearing this, Liu Xixi’s face turned even redder, “If you don’t say it, how would I know, damn it…”
“Of course, I don’t mind relying on someone else’s strength, it’s just that this time I can only rely on myself. If you want me to rely on your strength, wait until we get out.”
Xia Jiuyuan said teasingly while looking at Liu Xixi’s shapely legs.
Liu Xixi was very small, but her body proportions were very good, giving no impression of short legs at all.
“Ah? Ah? I… I… I’m not talking to you anymore, you bad guy!”
Xia Jiuyuan watched Liu Xixi turn and walk towards the puppet, revealing a triumphant smile.
It couldn’t be helped, since Liu Xixi kept blushing, it would be rude not to tease her a bit!
Liu Xixi walked up to the puppet and asked angrily, “What do you have here?”
The puppet, which had been slumped on the ground, suddenly got up and replied stiffly:
“Everything.”
Liu Xixi wagged her tail. She lacked nothing and hadn’t seen any Spirit Plant Compendium, so for a moment, she didn’t know what loot to choose!
Xia Jiuyuan walked closer and interjected:
“May I ask if there are any Spirit Plants that contain the intent of the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, or Black Tortoise?”
Liu Xixi’s Ear twitched, Xia Jiuyuan thought of her first?!
Unfortunately, she knew her own situation; there was no such Spirit Plant in the world.
“How could there be? To obtain these, one must find a Beast Tribe with such a Bloodline and obtain its vital blood. How could a Spirit Plant—”
“Location #
Spirit Plant: Vermillion Bird Dye
Description: With bones as roots, flesh as soil, and blood as nourishment, born from a Vermillion Bird Corpse, it nurtures the Vermillion Bird Intent.
Rarity: Exquisite.
“
Both fell silent. After a moment, Liu Xixi trembling asked in disbelief:
“Does it really exist?”
“Only Spirit Plants containing Vermillion Bird Intent were found.”
“It really exists, it really exists…”
Liu Xixi began repeating this sentence, her Emotions becoming somewhat uncontrollable.
A problem that even World-Ending Strongmen couldn’t solve had inexplicably found a solution.
Xia Jiuyuan’s gaze was fixed on the System at this moment.
White Task 『 Rest 』 Completed, Reward “Ice Spirit Pill” obtained.
Everything was within the System’s Plan. Xia Jiuyuan’s heart moved slightly, and he took out the Ice Spirit Pill from the System.
When the System rewards were physical items, the rewards would break through Space and appear beside Xia Jiuyuan when he chose to retrieve them.
The Ice Spirit Pill is used to suppress Inner Demons and a series of other problems, forcing the user to remain calm. It is a Seventh-Grade Pill and has absolute effect on those below Seventh Rank.
This single Pill is worth millions of Third-Order Spirit Stones; it’s truly outrageous as a reward for a White Task.
