Chapter 447: Li Xueru

Jiang Chen has never truly understood the Lower Space.

Li Xueru and Hong Jishi also think the timing is still early, so they have never mentioned the Lower Space to Jiang Chen.

The Lower Space differs from the Upper Space in several ways.

The world of the Lower Space consists of several continents, separated either by endless seas or by boundless voids.

To go from one continent to another, various methods must be employed.

Powerful sea monsters hide in the seas, and flying monsters also ravage the skies.

Some regions of the void are even sealed, impossible to fly across.

The environment of the Lower Space is harsher and more complex than that of the Upper Space.

According to Li Xueru's sensing, the continent Jiang Chen is currently on is called the Wild Continent.

This place is a monster gathering ground, filled everywhere with powerful BOSSes and terrifying monsters.

Generally, Elite Professionals above Level 70 do not venture there lightly.

Only some Elite Professionals form parties to go, daring the powerful BOSSes in hopes of better gear.

Even someone of Jiang Chen's strength could fall into danger there.

Precisely because of this, Hong Jishi is so anxious.

He immediately thought of going to the Deep Space, finding a Space-time Portal, then entering the Lower Space and rushing to the Wild Continent to find Jiang Chen.

Li Xueru looked at Hong Jishi but did not act.

Hong Jishi, anxious, urged, "Why are you standing there, set up the teleport quickly."

Li Xueru shook his head and sighed lightly, "What's the hurry? Even if you go, it's useless. Listen to me, no need to go."

Hong Jishi stared blankly at Li Xueru, "Why?"

Li Xueru said, "You, when you care, you cause chaos.

Don't forget why Xiao Chen went to the Ancient Battlefield. He went to find that trader, to help the Righteous God deliver something."

"Then think again, why did Xiao Chen appear in the Lower Space? It must be that moving hand who sent Xiao Chen there."

"Surely a transaction was made between the two. Let me ask you, do you and I have the ability to send Xiao Chen to the Lower Space?"

Jiang Chen is only Level 50 now, so logically he cannot enter the Lower Space.

Even Li Xueru and Hong Jishi lack the ability to send him there.

The only one capable of such a feat in the All-Human Race is that old man in the Dragon Clan Academy.

Hong Jishi instinctively shook his head; he truly cannot do it.

Li Xueru said, "Since that's the case, the answer is clear. Xiao Chen didn't enter the Lower Space by accident. So you need not worry about his safety; with that person around, Xiao Chen will be fine."

"Even if you go, you might not bring Xiao Chen back, and you could anger that person."

"Got it?"

Li Xueru has analyzed to this extent; how could Hong Jishi not understand?

Li Xueru persuaded Hong Jishi, and also calmed him down.

Though still a bit uneasy inside, at least he won't act rashly.

It must be said, Li Xueru's analysis is very reasonable, with no logical flaw.

But this time, his analysis was wrong.

Hong Jishi asked, "You said, why did the Righteous God have Xiao Chen deliver that bead?"

Li Xueru chuckled lightly, "What else, to resurrect, of course."

"The Righteous God was Level 98 back then, a Half-step Super God, comparable to the old man."

"

"If he wants resurrection, even the old man doesn't have that ability."

Only that person can resurrect a Half-step Super God.

Li Xueru said, "Perhaps soon, the Human Race will have another Half-step Super God. Whether that's good or bad is hard to say."

Hong Jishi thought for a moment, "Overall it should be a good thing, at least the Human Race's strength will increase a lot. One more Half-step Super God is more useful than ten Divine Level beings."

"Hope so," Li Xueru sighed lightly.

Ancient Battlefield, Lower Space, Wild Continent.

Jiang Chen does not know the name of his current location.

He left the territory of the Giant Leaf Mother Tree, avoiding the soaring flying dragon that vanished into the sky.

He has already realized the area is unusual and extremely unsafe.

He restrains all his breath, moving here cautiously.

The area is littered with chaotic rocks; small stones are taller than a person, large stones like small mountains can exceed a hundred meters.

They are either mountains or massive stone blocks, gigantic beyond measure.

The shapes of the stone blocks are bizarre; some have both ends sharply pointed, one end like a sword thrust into the ground, the other shooting straight toward the sky.

The middle is plump and bulging.

Some monsters live here; Jiang Chen has seen a few from afar.

If he can avoid them, he chooses to avoid.

Most of these monsters are serpentine; Jiang Chen fears that killing the small will summon the big.

It's like the Giant Leaf Dwarf Tree: kill the dwarf, and the Giant Leaf Mother Tree appears.

At this moment he somewhat misses the purification elixir.

These monsters are evidently sensitive to breath; Jiang Chen several times almost got detected.

Not that they saw him, but his breath was sensed.

If there is a purification reagent

on the body, purifying all the chaotic odors on it, it would be much better.

Jiang Chen weaves through the scattered rocks, his Spiritual Power spreading outward like flowing water, allowing him to detect monsters in time and avoid them.

The temperature is gradually rising.

Earlier, in the territory of Giant Leaf Dwarf Trees, the temperature was extremely low, never exceeding 10 degrees.

Now it is at least above 20 degrees, and as it moves forward, the temperature continues to rise.

In the distance, Jiang Chen saw pale green wisps of smoke slowly rising into the sky, forming a column.

The column formed a green gas mass in midair, lingering for a long time.

A faintly fishy odor began to permeate the air.

The fishy smell seemed to mask Jiang Chen's outsider scent, actually greatly reducing his presence and lowering the chance of being detected.

Jiang Chen was contemplating whether to go over.

An unusual environment inevitably brings unusual events.

Jiang Chen was unsure whether going would be safe or even more dangerous.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Chen decided to go take a look.

But not himself; he sent a Skeleton.

A Skeleton Berserker appeared silently beside him, then sprinted toward the place where green smoke rose.

Through the Skeleton Berserker's perspective, although it cannot compare to seeing with one's own eyes, it can at least sense roughly.

The Skeleton Berserker's inevitable crack sound immediately drew the attention of some monsters.

Aside from snakes, there are no other kinds of monsters here.

Snakes of all sizes, varying in thickness and length, of different types.

Many monsters, after hearing the sound, slithered out one by one, following the Skeleton Berserker.

That sight was just like the Skeleton Berserker

pulling monsters.

The Skeleton Berserker ran extremely fast, paying no heed to the snake swarm trailing behind.

It faithfully carried out Jiang Chen's command, heading toward the place where green smoke rose.

Jiang Chen suddenly noticed scenes that differed from his imagination.

Many snakes that were pursuing the Skeleton Berserker suddenly stopped.

As the Skeleton Berserker drew nearer to the green smoke, more and more of the stopped snakes appeared.

Jiang Chen found that the smallest snakes were the first to stop.

The larger the snake, the later it stopped.

After stopping, the snake swarm still stared at the Skeleton Berserker but did not move another step.

"In other words, the smaller the snake, the less daring it is to approach the green smoke."

"It seems there is a very clear hierarchy."

Since Jiang Chen did not use Detection Technique, he could only differentiate by size.

Generally, the larger the body, the higher the rank, and the stronger the power.

The stronger the power, the closer it can get to the green smoke.

Jiang Chen grew more curious about what exactly was in the green smoke that made these snakes reluctant to approach.

Thus, if he could reach the green smoke himself, wouldn't that let him escape these snakes?

In the Skeleton Berserker's sensed world, it finally saw the green smoke.

At that moment, only two snakes remained trailing behind it.

Both snakes were over ten meters long, belonging to the giant‑monster type among the many snakes.

If a BOSS grew like this it wouldn't be surprising, but ordinary monsters this huge are quite unusual.

The green smoke rose from a pond, where vapor continuously billowed, lifting the green smoke.

The instant it saw the green smoke, the Skeleton Berserker's body was suddenly tinged with a layer of green and it sustained some damage

"Poisoned?"

Jiang Chen was slightly startled.

The Skeleton Berserker was indeed poisoned, and the toxicity was not weak.

The last two big snakes also stopped.

They also seemed unwilling to approach the green pond, stopping at a spot where moving forward another step would cause poisoning.

It was as if an invisible line divided the poisonous and non‑poisonous zones.

The Skeleton Berserker was already poisoned; it could not be withdrawn.

Fortunately, thanks to the full link, the damage the Skeleton Berserker took was shared by all the undead.

In the short term, there would be no serious danger.

Jiang Chen simply let it continue approaching, to examine closely.

In this area littered with piled rubble, a green pond brimming with lethal poison suddenly appeared, and Jiang Chen felt it was mysterious and unusual.
