343: Tai Chi Bahuang

Although the two didn't have much of a relationship, it didn't stop them from calling each other brothers.

“Well, I hurt myself.”

“Oh, I'm so sorry, I wasted your good intentions.”

Chen Du said, shaking his head, and occasionally pounded his thigh with his right fist, looking like everyone bullied him, and he was still not up to par!

“It's okay, brother!”

“Becoming stronger is never an overnight process, but a gradual one.”

“I'll save this half day for you, brother. Next time you come, if I'm still on duty, I'll make it up to you!”

The ticket seller quickly comforted him.

He was deeply touched by Chen Du's experience and felt like he was seeing his younger self in Chen Du. Within his capabilities, he would try his best to help him.

Chen Du showed surprise and left after repeatedly thanking him.

To be honest, Chen Du originally didn't plan to come again. It was just that he had nothing to do these two days, so he came to train a bit.

But now that he had tasted the sweetness of Gravity Mountain, it was hard to say.

If the plan went smoothly and he could really feed that old and frail Sky Soaring Warrior to the magma egg, a drastic change would likely occur here.

No, perhaps his battle with the other party would undergo a drastic change, and he might not even have the chance to capture the other party alive.

No matter what, the other party was also a Sky Soaring Warrior!

There was no such thing as an all-you-can-eat situation.

Chen Du had many plans, making the best predictions and the worst preparations.

When turmoil happened here, if the environment became very unsafe, he would have to leave.

However, these were all matters for later. Plans must be made, but not necessarily all executed.

After all, plans can't keep up with changes. During execution, one must make correct adjustments based on the actual situation.

Chen Du's next plan was to feed this unyielding Cao Daba to the egg first!

After leaving Large Gravity Mountain, Chen Du did not choose to return home but walked towards the village chief's house.

Feeding Cao Daba to the egg was the next step in his plan, but he needed to confirm something first.

Whether Chen Jian, the village chief of Shushu Civilization, was still at home.

If he wasn't, then after he went out and fed Cao Daba, he would go directly to the Egg God Civilization and lie in wait!

Later, when dealing with the Sky Soaring Warrior, this was an act of the lower overcoming the higher. He had to scout the area in advance and do his homework to increase his chances of winning, striving for a rabbit to fight a lion!

The village chief was not mysterious; instead, he was like a celebrity. His every move was basically under the villagers' eyes.

It wasn't that everyone deliberately monitored the village chief, but rather that he was quite active, basically busy running around the village, and his life trajectory was evident to all.

Chen Jian had been village chief for 30 years and had done many practical things. In the hearts of the Shushu Other-race villagers, his status was equal to that of a divine messenger.

The homes of successive village chiefs were all in the residential area, for no other reason than that the Mystic Treasure Tree grew in the residential area.

If the core area were built around it, the slum area would live under even lower temperatures, which would not be conducive to the long-term development of a civilization.

The Mystic Treasure Tree, as its name suggests, is the fruit tree that gives birth to the secret treasure heart. The secret treasure hearts of the Shushu Other-race, including other Other-races, all come from the Mystic Treasure Tree.

Such trees are rare Underground.

However, despite their rarity, the practical use of the secret treasure heart is far less than that of the secret relic.

Although there is a possibility of Awakening two or even more Mystic Treasures, the probability is too low, almost negligible, and most people don't even Awaken one.

This is also why they prefer the secret relic, but fortunately, the two do not conflict; there's no need to choose, you can have both!

For an equivalent exchange, one secret treasure heart can be exchanged for one 'Small Epiphany Fruit'.

The Small Epiphany Fruit is a fruit that, when consumed, can allow a Martial Artist stage life to have a chance to enter an Epiphany state within a week.

The prerequisite is that you must continuously hone your Martial Skill for that week to have a chance to trigger an Epiphany; otherwise, it's like eating a fruit with no effect.

Therefore, for the Other-races in this small area of the Gloomy Land Underground, whose Martial Skills are collectively weak, not many people care about it.

For them, the Small Epiphany Fruit is not as practical as the secret treasure heart, as the secret treasure heart has a chance to trigger even when lying down!

And it is effective throughout the entire Martial Artist stage. For them, it can be understood as having a chance to trigger throughout their lives.

In addition, where there is small, there is large. The effects of the Great Epiphany Fruit and the Small Epiphany Fruit are the same, only the target groups are different.

The Great Epiphany Fruit corresponds to the Sky Soaring Warrior group.

This Small Epiphany Fruit held no attraction for Chen Du.

Chen Du had a Crystal Clone and had consumed the Zhan Zhan Fruit. Vice Chen Du had an Epiphany every two or three days in the Crystal Space, and his Martial Skill progressed rapidly.

Because High Martial Civilization was poor, it classified the secret treasure heart as a supreme treasure for the Martial Artist stage, so Chen Du always thought that the secret treasure heart was a very precious item.

However, this notion gradually disappeared Underground.

This doesn't mean that secret treasure hearts are unimportant; in the eyes of the Underground Alien Race, they are also important. As one of the few things that can enhance strength, nothing is unimportant.

It's just that they don't reach the level of being precious, just like you wouldn't cherish something you always have or can easily obtain.

Whether it's the secret treasure heart or the Small Epiphany Fruit, if they could be obtained in large quantities, High Martial Civilization could produce a large number of Geniuses.

However, Chen Du could only think about such things in his mind. This was within the Shushu Civilization. Once he failed, even if so many Shushu Other-races couldn't defeat Chen Du, they could exhaust him to death.

Immediately, he focused his thoughts on the next action.

“Brother, is the village chief here?”

“I have some confusion regarding Martial Skills and would like to consult him.”

Chen Du asked an elderly man who was sweeping the floor.

He didn't need to deliberately inquire or observe; he could just ask around the village chief's house and know if the other party was there.

He didn't know about Immortal Masters, but the Shushu village chief's persona was approachable.

“The village chief? He's entertaining a guest from another Territory.”

Another Territory?

Chen Du, who had only intended to confirm if the village chief was present, immediately became alert upon hearing this.

“Grandpa, in such a remote place like ours, are there still people who come to visit?”

“Yes! It's indeed rare. I've lived for decades, Grandpa, and this is the first time I've seen an Other-race from another Territory.”

“I saw him by chance this morning when I greeted the village chief. The village chief just casually mentioned that the other party was a distinguished guest from the 'Taiji Bahuang Territory'.”

Taiji Bahuang Territory?

Chen Du murmured in his heart.

He had previously heard from Chen Heping that there were eighteen Territories Underground, with the Gloomy Land, Nether Land, and Phantom Land at the bottom.

They were called the Three Waste Territories, or the Three Yous for short.

The location Chen Du was currently in was an area within the Gloomy Land. Besides the Three Yous, the other fifteen Territories all had Domain Warriors, but their specific strength was unknown.

“Yes, Taiji Eight Desolations. Grandpa, my ears aren't failing me yet!”

The old man thought Chen Du suspected he had misheard, so he emphasized it again, then said:

“You definitely won't be able to find the village chief today. He's going on a long trip soon and won't be back quickly. If you have questions about Martial Skills, the people in the combat unit should be able to help you.”

“However, they are a bit arrogant and may not be willing to guide you.”

“Is that so? That's too bad.”

“I'm not in a hurry about Martial Skills. I'll wait until the village chief returns.”

Chen Du said and then turned to leave.

Entertaining a distinguished guest from the Taiji Bahuang Territory at this time, and then going on a long trip soon.

Could it be… that the matter of Chen Heping and Song Jingyan trying to assassinate him had been leaked?

Was this distinguished guest actually a helper he had invited?

Chen Du's eyelids lowered slightly, he speculated in his heart.
