116: A magical treasure land, a place of murder and death.

“Our Zhuo Family is not ordinary people.”

“We are a martial arts family!”

“Our ancestors even produced great generals with glorious military achievements on the battlefield.”

“And Haojie with peerless martial arts.”

In an instant.

Zhuo Wuyang’s aura surged!

As if he.

Was not a sickly old man.

But a martial arts master whose spirit soared through the galaxy!

“The Zhuo Family’s martial arts legacy has a history of three hundred years.”

“Therefore.”

“I can tell the depth of your cultivation with just one glance.”

Chen Yang clicked his tongue in admiration!

What a Zhuo Family, three hundred years of history!

A martial arts family!

Awesome!

He involuntarily gave Zhuo Wuyang a thumbs up.

“You are truly amazing!”

【Ding!】

【Today’s intel triggered!】

【Intel 4】: Back then, Zhuo Wuyang’s injury was due to a bizarre experience. A mysterious place, with unknown dangers, but also precious treasures, and medicine that could heal his body.

Chen Yang immediately checked the intel content.

In the image.

It showed a dangerous exotic insect, some Dangerous Lands and fierce beasts, and a certain miraculous treasure.

This treasure.

For cultivators.

Was absolutely of great use!

Extremely rare and precious!

However.

The specific location was very blurry, completely unclear.

And impossible to discern.

Chen Yang felt a bit regretful!

Without knowing the specific location.

Even the best things could only be sighed over.

Nevertheless.

Uncle Zhuo had been there, so he should know the location.

Chen Yang wondered how to bring up this topic?

“Uncle Zhuo, you are so formidable, how did you get your injuries?”

Perhaps because Chen Yang also had cultivation.

Zhuo Wuyang thought for a moment.

And still recounted his experience from back then.

“That was many years ago, before I was injured.”

“I heard rumors in the martial world.”

“There was a mysterious place, extremely perilous, yet it contained rare treasures of heaven and earth.”

“Everyone yearned to obtain the treasures within!”

“Many masters went to explore it!”

“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread!”

“I was young and impetuous, and I ventured there with a few skilled martial artists.”

A smile appeared on his face.

As if recalling.

The youthful vigor and soaring ambition of those days!

“At first, the progress was smooth.”

“But as we approached our destination, an accident occurred!”

“That scene.”

“Was extremely eerie...”

Chen Yang’s heart tightened.

“Uncle Zhuo, what happened?”

In Zhuo Wuyang’s eyes.

A flicker of fear flashed.

“Alas!”

“So many years have passed, but the terrifying scene from back then is still vivid in my mind!”

“There were 7 of us in total.”

“In that one battle, we lost 5 people.”

“Besides me.”

“Another person barely escaped.”

“It’s just that our ways of escaping were completely opposite.”

“I escaped under the cover of my companions.”

“Sacrificing 2 good friends, I barely managed to save a crippled body.”

“That bastard.”

“Pushed a companion to be a human shield, and only then did he survive by hook or by crook.”

“Later, we had a huge argument and went our separate ways.”

Chen Yang listened with a pounding heart!

“So what exactly happened back then?”

Zhuo Wuyang closed his eyes in pain.

“At that time, we were almost at our destination.”

“We were all very happy and pushed forward quickly.”

“Suddenly, one of my companions, who was walking in front, stopped.”

“He let out a loud cry and turned around.”

“We were all startled!”

“His entire body, including his face, was covered in countless black insects.”

“In less than ten seconds, his whole body turned black and completely disintegrated.”

“Even his bones were gone.”

Zhuo Wuyang shivered.

“We quickly retreated, but it was too late.”

“Those black exotic insects actually had wings and could fly.”

“Even though we swung our weapons and struck with our palm force.”

“However.”

“There were simply too many of these insects, densely packed, endless.”

“In the blink of an eye, another companion was eaten by the insects.”

“Everyone was terrified and started running for their lives.”

“Suddenly.”

“Two of my good friends were also caught by an insect.”

“They shouted for me to go quickly, while they stayed behind to attract the insects’ attacks...”

A tear silently overflowed from the corner of Zhuo Wuyang’s eye.

Suddenly.

His face showed anger.

“That bastard, seeing the insects about to catch up, pushed me and another companion to the ground.”

“And ran away by himself.”

“At that time.”

“I was terrified!”

“An insect crawled onto my leg and bit me.”

“I desperately swatted at it, finally killing the insect and escaping.”

“The other companion, however, was devoured alive!”

“Indirectly providing cover for my escape!”

Zhuo Wuyang’s body trembled slightly.

Seemingly still immersed in the terrifying scene of the past.

“Later, I had a big argument with that person and we escaped separately.”

“Along the way, my injury flared up, and no matter how I circulated my internal energy, I couldn’t force out the toxin.”

“These years.”

“I searched for famous doctors, took countless elixirs, but couldn’t cure my illness.”

“Instead, I squandered my family fortune and also delayed my children’s upbringing.”

【Ding!】

【Gained 10 points, current cumulative points: 350 points, keep up the good work!】

Today’s triggered task has been completed.

The system awarded 10 points.

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment.

Then continued to ask.

“So where exactly is this Dangerous Land?”

Zhuo Wuyang looked at Chen Yang with piercing eyes.

There was a hint of scrutiny in his gaze.

“You really want to know where the Dangerous Land is?”

Chen Yang replied:

“Of course!”

“Didn’t you say there were rare treasures there!”

“Perhaps it would be of great use to us martial artists.”

“So many people flocked there, there must be a reason, right?”

“Most importantly.”

“Uncle Zhuo, your illness was caused by an exotic insect bite.”

“I think all things in the world are interconnected, mutually generating and overcoming each other.”

“It’s very possible that in that Dangerous Land, there’s a miraculous medicine that can heal your body.”

“I really want to go and help you find it.”

Zhuo Wuyang nodded.

The wariness in his eyes faded.

This child is good, very honest, and very filial!

Too bad.

He couldn’t say.

“My virtuous nephew, I appreciate your good intentions!”

“However, I cannot tell you, at least not now.”

Chen Yang was puzzled.

“Why?”

Zhuo Wuyang said sternly:

“Because you’re not strong enough!”

“Back when I went to the Dangerous Land, I was under thirty, in my prime.”

“My cultivation had already reached the Bright Martial Artist level.”

“None of the skilled companions I went with were below Advanced War General.”

“Even with such a combination, we didn’t have a single chance of winning.”

“With your current Intermediate Soldier King level, you would only be cannon fodder there.”

He paused.

“In my estimation, to get past the exotic insects.”

“You either need exceptional light-body skill to run fast.”

“Or you need to be strong, at least at the Dark Martial Artist level, to kill the exotic insects with dark internal energy palm force.”

“Therefore, I cannot let you go to your death.”

Chen Yang secretly regretted it!

Currently.

His strength was indeed insufficient.

However.

With the Heaven-Treading Steps assisting him, there might be hope.

Worst case scenario.

He would use points to upgrade the Heaven-Treading Steps again.

If he couldn’t win, couldn’t he just run?

As long as he could obtain the treasures inside.

His own strength would definitely improve significantly.

Uncle Zhuo’s illness could also be cured.

Alas!

How could he get the address out of Uncle Zhuo?

“Dad, I’m back.”

Suddenly.

A familiar voice came from the doorway.
