Chapter 197: Exploration

Upon hearing what Lv Fang said, the Demon Heart did not try to persuade him further.

After so much time of getting along, it had already understood that as long as he said this, no matter how it tried to persuade him, it would be of no use.

This trip to the Scorched Earth Region was the same.

If it weren't for Lv Fang thinking that this place was more suitable for the 'Invincible Army' to camp and expand its force, he probably wouldn't have come here so quickly.

However, the Demon Heart was still quite satisfied. This host was even more satisfactory than it had imagined; everything was very good, and the only bad thing was probably that he had too many of his own ideas.

Because he had walked the path once, Lv Fang retreated from the poisonous swamp very quickly. When he retreated, he encountered three people head-on.

These three were one woman and two men. The woman was not tall, and she didn't look very old, in her early twenties. On her back, she carried a heavy sword that was longer than her height, almost dragging on the ground.

Her round, cute face was covered in dust, and a pair of round, bright eyes stared unblinkingly at Lv Fang, who was coming out of the poisonous swamp, filled with curiosity.

The other two men were both in their thirties; one was dressed like an ascetic monk, and the other was dressed like a martial artist.

Judging from the 'Momentum' on the three, Lv Fang determined they were all Sixth Rank and Fifth Rank cultivators, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the gap wasn't too large, the three of them working together would not be his match.

After all, this was the Scorched Earth Region, full of danger everywhere, and incidents of people taking advantage of the situation to rob others were not uncommon.

As long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't provoke the other party.

"Hey, were you just coming out of the poisonous swamp?"

The woman carrying the heavy sword looked at Lv Fang.

Lv Fang stopped not far from them, glanced at the poisonous swamp behind him, nodded, and said: "It seems so. May I ask what the matter is?"

The woman didn't answer his question but lowered her voice to discuss something with the ascetic monk and the martial artist. After the three discussed for a while, the woman raised her eyebrows and said to Lv Fang: "Are you interested in going on an exploration together?"

"Not interested." Lv Fang refused without a second thought.

He planned to go find the aura of Punishment, or go back to the Invincible Army to take a look; where would he have the time to accompany these three on an exploration?

Not to mention he didn't know what background these three had; who knew if they had any conspiracies.

Even if they didn't have bad intentions, he had no interest in accompanying these three on an exploration.

After saying this, Lv Fang was about to leave, but was called back by the woman: "Scholar, please wait a moment. Perhaps if you hear where we are going to explore, you will change your mind."

"Oh." Lv Fang said with interest: "Then tell me."

The woman smiled and said: "It's like this. Some time ago, I discovered an unknown Lower Upper Realm. There are quite a few powerful exotic beasts around there, and of course, there are also quite a few corresponding exotic plants and minerals."

"We can form a four-person adventure team. The things obtained there will be our own, and we only need to help each other in times of danger."

"An unknown Lower Upper Realm?" Lv Fang looked at the woman with some surprise, wanting to see from her face if she was lying.

The Demon Heart instigated: "What are you afraid of? Since she invited you to explore together, then just go. If they have ulterior motives, just kill them and take their treasures."

Lv Fang ignored the Demon Heart and asked the woman: "Do you three know each other?"

Honestly, he was tempted.

Otherwise, he would have left long ago.

The charm of the depths of the Scorched Earth Region was the existence of unknown Lower Upper Realms, where one could obtain great opportunities and soar to the sky.

Such unknown Lower Upper Realms were not common.

Before the woman could answer, the middle-aged martial artist said: "We three know each other, but you don't have to worry. We won't join forces to attack you. Actually, our relationship is just friends who have met a few times."

The ascetic monk nodded: "Because their characters are good, I am willing to come."

The woman looked at Lv Fang and smiled: "If you don't trust us, you can keep a certain distance. If you sense anything wrong, you can exit immediately, it doesn't matter."

Lv Fang frowned slightly and asked: "I am very curious, why do you want me to join your exploration group? Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?"

The woman chuckled and said: "Believe it or not, I can sense that you are a good person. I haven't had this kind of perception many times in my life, and I just sensed it on you."

"Oh." Lv Fang looked directly at the woman and nodded: "I will believe what you say for now, but why choose me?"

Just because she sensed he was a good person, she invited him to explore together.

This reason could not convince Lv Fang.

The woman nodded seriously and said: "The reason I chose you is because you just came out of the poisonous swamp, and I sensed you are a good person. I feel this is a guidance from the dark, so I invited you."

"On the periphery of the unknown Lower Upper Realm I discovered, there are poisonous exotic plants and exotic beasts, and you are very suitable to go."

"Honestly, I hope you come along."

"Because my perception has appeared very rarely in my life, I want to have more contact with you, a good person. After all, surviving here, having one more friend is better than having one more enemy."

Lv Fang was silent. Although what the woman said was outrageous, for some reason, he inexplicably trusted her very much. This feeling was very strange.

This was also why he hesitated.

The Demon Heart instigated again: "I really think you can go explore with them. With your strength, plus my existence, in that unknown Lower Upper Realm, you can obtain great benefits."

"Is it because of you? Did you influence this woman? I have an inexplicable trust in her, it's too strange." Lv Fang questioned the Demon Heart in his heart.

The Demon Heart was silent for a moment and said: "Then I advise you not to go. There are too many extraordinary powers in this world, of all kinds. Perhaps the woman in front of you has the same type of perception as the Snow Luo Sha."

"Or she can radiate a sense of trust to people. If that's true, it proves she has ideas about you."

The Demon Heart advised this, and Lv Fang felt relieved. As long as it wasn't playing tricks, it was fine. Thinking of this, he looked at the woman again and said: "If you do this, aren't you afraid that the location of the unknown Lower Upper Realm will be exposed?"

The woman smiled: "I trust these two, and along the way, I only told you about the unknown Lower Upper Realm. Rest assured, that place needs me to lead the way, otherwise, no matter how strong your strength is, you won't be able to enter."

Lv Fang nodded: "Fine, I am willing to join your exploration group."

After some introductions, he learned that the woman was named Jiang Yuan, a resident of the Luo Sha Kingdom. She practiced sword cultivation under the Three Teachings, and her realm was Fifth Rank, Second Stage.

The ascetic monk only had a dharma name, Monk Wu Jie, and his realm was Sixth Rank, Third Stage.

The martial artist was named Beitian, a relatively rare Fifth Rank, Second Stage martial artist. ===== CHAPTER 198 =====
