Chapter 83: First Opportunity Location in the Secret Realm: Hei Bing Hu

Having thought this through, memories from his past life echoed once more in Xu Chen's mind.

Immediately after, a crystal-clear map of opportunities spread throughout Xu Chen's mind.

Xu Chen quickly locked onto the western direction: "There are plenty of Spirit Stones there, and Spirit Medicine capable of enhancing the physical body. I'll go there."

Having spoken, Xu Chen activated the technique of shrinking the earth to an inch; with a single step, his afterimage instantly covered a hundred meters.

He appeared to walk slowly, yet his movement distance was extremely fast.

Before long, Xu Chen arrived at his destination.

This was a tranquil great lake, surrounded by thickets of shrubs and overgrown weeds.

The breathing sounds of sleeping demonic beasts, the roaring cries of battles, and mournful shrieks came through faintly.

Occasionally, flying birds passed over, dropping droppings, yet within the lake water, there was still no movement whatsoever.

It was just that Xu Chen knew there was a Fifth-Tier demonic beast giant snake inside, comparable to a Fifth Grade Late Stage Martial Artist.

The giant snake's body had thick, tough skin, comparable to the physical body of a Fifth Grade Consummation Stage Martial Artist.

Therefore, it was quite troublesome for Martial Artists below the Fifth Grade Consummation Stage to deal with it.

Even for Xu Chen to kill it, using martial arts techniques would require considerable effort.

Fortunately, however, this giant snake's Divine Sense was very weak, at most Fourth Grade.

With this, it would not be very troublesome.

"Come, come, come, brothers. Inside this Hei Bing Hu, it is said there is a giant snake seven or eight meters long."

"Beneath the lake bottom lies a vast amount of Medium Grade and High Grade Spirit Stones, plus a Grade Five Spiritual Medicine called 'Mysterious Body Spirit Vine'."

"If obtained, it can greatly enhance physical body strength; who knows, it might even elevate one's realm."

Just as Xu Chen was about to strike, voices from sect members reached him.

Xu Chen remembered; two sects had arrived here at the same time.

One was Shadow Gate, an assassin sect; the other was Tianlei Pavilion, a sect that uses lightning-attribute martial arts.

These two sects also possessed Sixth Grade experts, but in this small plotline of Hei Bing Hu, the Sixth Grade experts did not come.

"I still remember, the two Saintesses from Shadow Gate and Tianlei Pavilion seemed to have feelings for me."

The next second, Xu Chen suddenly recalled this matter.

These two Saintesses were merely female supporting characters, so only that dog-like author would give them to him.

Speaking of which, the strength of these two female supporting characters was both Fifth Grade Late Stage.

But they were merely passable; compared to the true female lead, they were ultimately inferior.

"The female lead has collapsed; I wonder if the female supporting characters have collapsed too."

"If they haven't collapsed, then that would be quite advantageous for me."

Xu Chen pondered.

In the original text, these two female supporting characters were his, and in the end, they became his slaves.

This time, he did not hope for them to collapse, since according to the original text, he was the ultimate beneficiary.

"Go out and try."

Having thought this through, Xu Chen walked straight out.

In the blink of an eye, he was spotted by the people of Shadow Gate and Tianlei Pavilion.

They instantly raised their alertness to the maximum, each gripping their weapons tightly, palms sweating.

After all, the scene where Xu Chen instantly one-shot Lu Hou was still vivid in their minds.

This Young Palace Master of Jixia Xuegong was one of the most dangerous figures this time.

Xu Chen said cheerfully, "I also have my eyes on the things in Hei Bing Hu; what do you say?"

The Saint Son of Shadow Gate, Yang An, took a deep breath: "How about splitting it equally?"

The Saint Son of Tianlei Pavilion, Duan Lei, also said: "Each contributes one share of effort, each receives one share of benefits; do you think that works?"

Xu Chen smiled: "That works too."

He knew that Yang An and Duan Lei were deceiving him.

They merely wanted to stabilize him temporarily; once they saw the treasure, they would join forces to kill him.

He remembered this segment clearly from his past life.

Beside them, the Saintess of Shadow Gate, Xiao Rong, and the Saintess of Tianlei Pavilion, Luo Yin, looked at Xu Chen, their eyes shining.

The sight of Xu Chen instantly killing Lu Hou just now truly stirred their hearts.

Unlike Yang An and Duan Lei, who could only act low-key everywhere, talking about some grand design, planning before acting.

To put it plainly, isn't that just being useless? Isn't it just lacking strength that leads to such schemes?

Before overwhelming strength, all cunning tricks are utterly useless.

They had already secretly decided to defect to Xu Chen, to defect to Jixia Xuegong, later on.
