Chapter 443: Jiang Chen, Unfazed and Laughing, Truly a Good Place

Antares, the ancient dragon who has lived an unknown number of years, may have a rusted mind, but is still very shrewd.

When it comes to setting traps, it never holds back.

But then again, Jiang Chen knows he was the one who first trapped Antares, so he can't blame it entirely.

Holding a scale in his hand, Jiang Chen can of course understand Antares's meaning.

He can leave the Lower Space at any time using the scale.

But Qiao Zhixin cannot.

Given Qiao Zhixin's abilities, she could very well face a life‑threatening danger in the Lower Space.

Moreover, ordinary teleport items no longer work here, so leaving is not easy.

Jiang Chen checked his belongings.

Sure enough, the Teleport Stone given by Li Xueru had already failed.

Li Xueru's Teleport Stone is a Platinum Tier item that lets him teleport directly between the Upper Space and the Instances and Secret Realms within the Upper Space.

But Li Xueru never imagined that Jiang Chen would enter the Lower Space.

Although the two layers both belong to the Ancient Battlefield, the distance between them is actually quite vast.

Therefore, Li Xueru's Teleport Stone loses its effect in the Lower Space.

However…

Jiang Chen's mouth twitched upward; the Abyss Teleport Stone still works.

He could go directly from here to the Abyss World, and likewise leave the Lower Space.

Jiang Chen thought it over and decided to pocket the Abyss Teleport Stone.

Going to the Abyss World is too risky; the last time was just luck.

If luck were worse, he could be teleported straight in front of a Demon King or into the Demon King's capital.

He would undoubtedly die.

By comparison, this place is far safer.

"It seems we can only go to Burial Thunder Canyon now to complete the deal with Antares."

Jiang Chen believes that since Antares

wants to make a deal with him, there must be a hidden agenda.

As long as he obtains the appropriate item, Antares can send him back.

Hmm.

Accompanied by a faint groan, Qiao Zhixin finally woke up.

She rubbed her eyes, puzzled, "Strange, how did I fall asleep?"

She had no idea she had lost consciousness; one must admit Antares's methods are quite ingenious.

Jiang Chen naturally didn't mention Antares to her, but handed her the scale he was holding.

The newly awakened Qiao Zhixin instinctively took the scale, looking a bit dazed, "What is this?"

Jiang Chen looked around, "We have entered the Lower Space of the Ancient Battlefield."

Ah!

Qiao Zhixin let out a light gasp, quickly covering her mouth, eyes wide with disbelief, "How could this be? Doesn't the Lower Space require Level 70 to enter?"

Jiang Chen said, "No need to worry about the reason; in any case we are already in the Lower Space now."

"There may be danger here; the scale in your hand can send you away."

Qiao Zhixin gave a small "oh", instinctively clutching the scale—it's a lifesaver.

But suddenly she seemed to realize something, "What about you?"

Although Qiao Zhixin is simple‑minded, she isn't stupid.

Jiang Chen said, "I have one too, but just so you know, if danger arises I'll run first; I might not be able to look after you."

Qiao Zhixin gave another "oh", "I understand."

She also knows that if she stays, she can't help Jiang Chen and might become a burden to him.

She tells herself that if real danger appears, she'll run immediately and never trouble Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked around, surveying the surroundings.

Since we're here

we must make the best of it.

Having already agreed to Antares's deal, he has now arrived in the Lower Space.

Whatever the reason, he now inevitably has to head to Burial Thunder Canyon.

Of course, Jiang Chen isn't the type to risk his life for a deal.

If real danger arises, he would certainly activate the Deep‑Layer Teleport Stone at once.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Chen leapt off the leaf.

The leaf quivered a few times, stirring a light breeze.

The breeze blew outward, moving other leaves; in an instant, a multitude of leaves rustled, producing a rustling sound.

Qiao Zhixin also jumped off the leaf, letting out a light gasp as she landed.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked.

Qiao Zhixin whispered, "I think I stepped on something."

Jiang Chen looked down; there was nothing beneath Qiao Zhixin's feet.

But behind her foot, there seemed to be a long drag mark.

It seems to be a trace left by a vine.

From this we judge that Qiao Zhixin just stepped on a vine.

After being stepped on, the vine recoiled and left a drag mark.

Jiang Chen instantly felt something was off; could this vine be alive?

At this moment the huge leaves kept trembling, growing more violent, and the sound grew louder.

The rustling became harsh, and the pattern light on the leaves flickered on and off.

The surrounding space turned dim and bright intermittently, and the atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

Qiao Zhixin felt fear, their face turned pale, "Nothing bad will happen, right?"

At that moment a Black Shadow silently swooped in.

The Black Shadow moved swiftly, making no wind‑cutting sound, and Qiao Zhixin felt nothing.

Jiang Chen sensed it, stepped over Qiao Zhixin, and pointed his finger at the Black Shadow.

Skill: Bone Fang!

White Light illuminated the surroundings

Bone Fang collided with the Black Shadow.

The sharp Bone Fangs, numbering 3,000, erupted at close range, with most striking the Black Shadow.

The Black Shadow instantly recoiled.

By the White Light of the Bone Fangs, Jiang Chen saw that the Black Shadow was a vine.

Moreover, the vine was extremely sturdy; the Bone Fangs could not pierce it.

Qiao Zhixin had not yet reacted, not knowing what had happened.

Jiang Chen had just repelled a vine when, the next second, a mass of Black Shadows surged in from all directions.

"Run!"

Jiang Chen didn't think, instantly activated Lightning Nether Spirit Wings, wrapped around Qiao Zhixin and shot upward.

The Black Shadows also instantly turned, spiraling wildly toward the two.

At this point Qiao Zhixin finally saw clearly, "So many vines."

Jiang Chen said nothing; he had already pushed his speed to the limit.

Six hundred meters per second, a very fast speed.

But the vines' speed was even faster, about to catch up.

Jiang Chen tapped his finger, and Red Light scattered.

Skill: Aging Curse!

With a buzzing roar, the vines' speed instantly slowed.

Jiang Chen saw the ground above, densely sparkling with Red Light.

The Aging Curse Skill was already at Level 50, and its Curse Range was 200 meters.

After a Level 60 Amplify from talent, the range directly reached 12,000 meters.

Within the 12,000‑meter range, countless red tiny swords hanging with shackles appeared.

The ground was covered with dwarf trees bearing huge leaves, and countless vines burst out from the Great Underground.

For a moment the soil flew up,

It looked as if countless poisonous snakes were soaring and crawling over the ground.

Jiang Chen's hair stood on end in an instant; he realized he had poked a hornet's nest.

His extremely keen Spirit let him sense a massive amount of malice.

Qiao Zhixin's face was pale, heart still trembling, "So scary, how can there be so many?"

"They must be a gregarious type."

Plant‑type monsters are not uncommon, but such numbers are rare.

Jiang Chen launched Detection Technique, quickly obtaining the opponent's data.

"Giant Leaf Dwarf Tree"

"Level: 72"

"Power: 300000"

"Agility: 100000"

"Spirit: 80000"

"Constitution: 300000"

"Skills: Vine Strike, Entangling, Giant Leaf Cut"

"Traits: 50% immunity to wood element, 30% reduction to physical damage, 30% increase to fire element damage, vitality enhancement."

Seeing the attributes, Jiang Chen was speechless.

A Level 72 monster, its total attributes reached 780,000.

This is not a BOSS, just an ordinary monster.

He knew his feeling was correct; from Level 60 the attributes increase sharply, merely an adaptation transition.

Only after Level 70 do attributes truly leap.

Not only monsters, but Human Professionals as well, even Abyss Demons and Dragon Race, are the same.

Level 40 and Level 70 are both qualitative leaps.

When Human Professionals reach Third Transcendence, their attributes nearly double compared to Level 69.

So Level 69 is only a High-level Professional, whereas Level 70 can be called a Top-tier Professional.

Super‑high attributes, plus three Skills, a whole slew of traits.

And an immense quantity that stretches beyond the eye's sight.

For any professional above Level 70, this region can be deemed a wasteland.

But for Jiang Chen…

Jiang Chen's lips curve in a smile.

What a nice place!
