Chapter 463: Entering the Plain, Blood Jade Beads, The Thrilling Roman Flower Sea

"Town Guard Army, use wind to retreat the miasma, lasting for five days!"

Hu-hu-hu...

At the last moment before setting out, Fan Qinghu issued the last instruction named "Use Wind to Retreat Miasma" to the 50,000 Town Guard Army.

On the north side of the gold bone melting furnace, the Town Guard Army had built a giant bellows 30 meters high in advance. The side wings of the bellows had twenty ropes made of green Xun tree vine tendons, each about 200 meters long. 500 Town Guard Army soldiers stripped to the waist were tied to each rope in turn.

"Hey..."

Accompanied by Fan Qinghu's order, tens of thousands of Town Guard Army soldiers roared in unison, pulling the ropes with concerted efforts. The huge bellows instantly made a woo-woo sound, and a terrifying airflow came out of the bellows, blowing toward the gold bone melting furnace on the south side.

Hu-hu-hu-hu...

The silver thick smoke floating out of the melting furnace was originally vertical, and at most it twisted slightly due to the airflow. But under the huge airflow from the bellows in the north, it suddenly changed direction and flew straight toward the Blood Miasma Plain in the south.

"Galloping like a horse, only the feudal town can think of such a method... No, it's useless just to think of it. Materials, material resources, manpower, strength—if any one of them is missing, it can't be done. Powerful, powerful..."

Xia Hong watched the silver thick smoke rolling toward the Blood Miasma area, feeling shocked inwardly, but his eyes became slightly strange.

"But this gold bone melting furnace is still incomparable to my Yangxu Tripod..."

The silver thick smoke changed direction to the south under the action of the bellows and penetrated into the 21st area of the Blood Miasma Plain for about a quarter of an hour. After the blood-colored miasma became slightly thinner by 10% to 20%, Fan Qinghu also issued the last instruction:

"Enter the plain!"

Xia Hong's eyes were cold. He followed Fan Qinghu and walked directly into the miasma area.

When he entered the military camp main building yesterday, he had already shown his strength, so his standing position was one of the five people closest to the front.

The leader was naturally Fan Qinghu. Following closely behind, except for him, the remaining four were: Cai Yunlan, the eldest prince of the Linchu County Mansion; Cai Yunsheng, the eldest prince of the Qingcang County Mansion; Cai Yunwu, the deputy commander of the Silver-Scale Army; and Zhu Long, the general in charge of all military affairs in Linchu County.

Each county under Cai Qiu has two types of troops: Town Guards and County Guards. The so-called "General" is the person in charge of these two types of troops. Xia Hong thought of Staff Officer Zhu Yan as soon as Cai Yunlan mentioned the name Zhu Long yesterday.

"The Zhu family is also one of the six surname families in Cai Qiu except for the Fangbo lineage. Looking at Zhu Long's appearance, he should be of the same generation as Zhu Yan. A general with 42 jun strength, plus a staff officer with 19 jun strength—just relying on these two should not be enough to support a large surname family. Therefore, this Zhu family is likely to have Tribulation Body Realm experts. Cai Qiu is indeed hiding dragons and crouching tigers..."

Xia Hong sighed, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Long a few more times.

This look caused a problem.

Zhu Long clearly noticed his gaze, turned his head to look behind him, and immediately met Xia Hong's eyes directly.

He nodded slightly to Xia Hong, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Xia Hong nodded and responded with a smile immediately. After moving his gaze away, he instantly felt a trace of favor for this Zhu Long.

Being secretly observed by someone he didn't know, the first reaction should be anger.

This Zhu Long clearly has a good temper.

Hum...

Thinking, Xia Hong followed Cai Yunlan and the four, almost side by side and entering the miasma area at the same time. The moment the blood-colored miasma rushed into the skin membrane, a buzzing sound rang in his ears instantly.

The aggressiveness of this blood-colored miasma is extremely high. He had just stepped in with his front foot, and before his back foot landed, half of his body had been dyed blood-red by the frantically rushing miasma, and the miasma kept impacting the skin membrane, trying to drill into the flesh and even the bone area from the pores.

Xia Hong didn't dare to be careless. 47 jun strength erupted instantly. While shaking off the miasma, his back foot landed, and the whole person entered the interior of the miasma area.

The next second, a magical thing happened.

Cai Yunlan, who was originally on his right side, only a meter or two away, suddenly disappeared.

Of course, it didn't really disappear.

Cai Yunlan appeared in the area more than ten meters to his right at this moment.

"It's not beyond my expectation, it's much larger than what is seen from the outside, ten times in both length and width. That is to say, the 21st area planned seems to be only 20 square kilometers, but it is actually 2,000 square kilometers. Considering the barrier of this blood-colored miasma to perception ability, it seems reasonable."

The size of the perception range of Manifestation Realm experts is basically equivalent to the temperature rise range when all strength is released. When he broke through the Manifestation Middle-stage last year, Xia Hong's farthest perception range could reach three kilometers.

But now, his perception range has only 300 meters left, which is also a ten-fold decrease.

"At least there is a 300-meter perception range. If it's just relying on the naked eye, it will be even worse. My current visible range is at most 100 meters. Beyond 100 meters, it is all blood-red, and basically nothing can be seen."

Xia Hong looked at the miasma area, his pupils condensed slightly.

Unlike the ice and snow outside, inside the miasma area, the sky, the ground, the trees, and even the air cyclones flying in mid-air, as well as the clothes he and others wore, everything that entered his eyes was blood-colored, and no other color could be found.

"No wonder it is said that if you don't go crazy, you will die. Even if the miasma has no influence, if normal people stay in this environment for a long time, their minds will be affected..."

The density of trees in the miasma area is not high. Within a 100-meter visual range, Xia Hong scanned it roughly, and there were less than 20 trees in total.

However, what is quite interesting is that the scale of the trees in the Blood Miasma area seems to be quite normal compared to the outside world. Their lengths are unusually uniform, basically between 10 and 20 meters, and the thickest diameter is only half a meter.

Except for the strange color, just looking at the scale of the trees in the Blood Miasma area gave Xia Hong the illusion of returning to the forest on Earth in his previous life.

"Different environments give birth to different vegetation. This is nothing. The main thing is that they can grow normally in this Blood Miasma area. These trees are probably not ordinary things. The Blood Miasma area that Cai Qiu cleared out has 400-plus square kilometers. I didn't see a tree like this around the Zhenyuan Camp yesterday..."

Xia Hong looked at the trees, his eyes moved slightly. Although he wanted to investigate very much, seeing that Fan Qinghu had already called people to assemble, he held back and then gathered toward the crowd.

Fan Qinghu had already taken out a beast skin map from his arms and unfolded it in front of everyone. The map was marked with the 21st area, which was clearly their exploration results of this area before.

From the map situation, their overall exploration progress of the 21st area is currently less than 30%.

"Eight kilometers to the southwest, there is a small mound covered with Roman flowers. Last time, Yunwu and I led the team and saw with our own eyes that there were three copper-bone corpse demons active on that mound. This time our goal is them."

"We have already figured out the route in advance. Although this route has avoided the three blood cold beast groups along the way, to avoid accidents, everyone should still strengthen their vigilance. If you encounter sporadic cold beasts or small-scale beast tides, you can do it directly, but once you involve the entire group, retreat immediately without any delay."

After Fan Qinghu finished speaking, he clenched the long knife at his waist, made a gesture to everyone, and took the lead to walk toward the southwest.

What happened next was interesting. Fifty Manifestation Realm experts all lined up in a straight line and followed behind him, moving slowly forward.

A strange look flashed in Xia Hong's eyes, but after pondering for a moment, he soon understood the reason for doing so.

After entering the Blood Miasma Plain, all Manifestation Realm experts must release all their strength to resist the invasion of miasma at all times. As a result, they inevitably became bright lights in the miasma area. If they ran around scattered, they would inevitably attract powerful existences in strange areas.

"Cai Yunlan told me before that Cai Qiu's exploration of the 21st area has lasted for two months. It has been two months and it is still so careful. Is it really step-by-step crisis? Blood cold beast, if I can see it..."

Hiss...

This Blood Miasma Plain seemed to understand Xia Hong's thoughts. He followed Cai Yunlan and walked less than two kilometers toward the southwest, and before his inner voice ended, a crisp and harsh snake hiss came down from the top of a big tree on the left.

Hu...

The moment the snake hiss sounded, six people flew out of the team. The distance of these six people was controlled very well. The six directions of front, back, left, right, up, and down instantly surrounded the tree, and then without saying a word, they pulled out their weapons and attacked the blood python on the top of the tree.

"Two meters long, there are high-level cold beasts in such an outer area!"

There were 51 people in total. Xia Hong didn't dare to guarantee that he was the first to discover the blood python, but the top five should be no problem. Noticing the two-meter-plus body length of the blood jade-colored small python, he was instantly stunned.

Where have they arrived?

They have only walked less than two kilometers, and there are high-level cold beasts?

Roar...

The next second, a scene that made him click his tongue happened.

The blood python noticed that it was surrounded, roared, twisted its body a few times, and suddenly soared to dozens of feet long, which was exactly the body size of snake-type high-level cold beasts in Xia Hong's impression.

The blood python opened its bloody mouth and sprayed out rolling black smoke. The black smoke instantly condensed into a pitch-black sword blade dozens of meters long, and then waved it fiercely, cutting straight toward the four Manifestation Realm experts who surrounded it.

Chi...

The black sword edge drawn by the sword blade cut cracks in the thick blood-colored miasma, not only cutting the surrounding trees in half, but also had a violent reaction after landing, melting the ground into gullies

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, soon understanding the reason, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Father, you stayed in Xia City for so long. Have you estimated how many Cold-Resistant Realm experts Great Xia has?"

Hearing this question, Han Peng fell into silence, then showed a wry smile: "Let's put it this way! The daytime in Xia City is as lively as the night in our Jin Yang Village."

"This..."

Han Peng's simple description made Han Qi's pupils shrink. After reacting slightly in his mind, his expression instantly became dazed.

"Great Xia contributed 10,000 people, so they directly divided their own people into two battalions, all led by their own people?"

Hearing Han Peng's question, Han Qi immediately came to his senses and shook his head: "It's not like that. I was responsible for leading people to deliver meals to the military camp in the seventh month. When I chatted with the soldiers, I learned that the number of people from each town in the six battalions of the Allied Army is fixed, basically distributed equally among the nine towns."

All shuffled and reorganized, distributed equally among the nine towns?

Han Peng fell into thought upon hearing this, seemingly vaguely sensing something.
