Chapter 214 Omen of the Storm
In a blink of an eye, the secret realm of the dry water lake was opened, and about three days passed, and many people who heard the news came.
As more spiritual people poured in, more and more people gave up leaving the secret realm in the middle.
Among them, some people are happy and some are worried, both with excitement and seem to gain a lot. Some are seriously injured and even have only half of their lives left.
As the secret realm is opened, various disputes of interest and vendettas have also appeared by the dry lake, and there is even a tendency to become increasingly fierce.
However, as the atmosphere by the lake became more and more chaotic, as the official force here, Black City finally responded.
Two days after the secret realm was opened, when the number of spirits leaving the secret realm began to increase, like in previous years, hundreds of well-trained cavalrymen were galloping from the direction of Heicheng.
Suddenly, in the dust, hundreds of cold soldiers directly used a heavy murderous aura to calm the originally noisy venue.
"Listen to everyone, we are here under the order of the Lord of Heicheng City. If anyone disrupts the order of the scene, he will be killed without mercy."
Seeing everyone quiet, the Black Armored Knight in the lead looked around indifferently, and said in a cold voice, as if there was no emotion, only a trembling killing tone.
"These seem to be the elites of Black City, and the leader seems to be the captain of the city lord's personal guard."
"It's strange. Although Heicheng would have sent people to maintain order in previous years, there were few such elites. The city lord's personal guard captain personally led the team. Is there anything unexpected happening in this secret realm this year?" Seeing Heicheng appear, the many forces and the wandering spiritualists on the side were not surprised, but were a little surprised by the formation of the team.
Every time the secret realm is opened, Black City will send people to come, and everyone is already familiar with it.
In addition, the elite team came this time, and the leader was even more powerful Shenhe Realm. Therefore, after hearing the captain's words, the originally chaotic shore immediately stabilized.
After this, although many forces still gathered here, no one caused trouble here, whether they came out of the secret realm or stayed on the shore.

"Ao...ao...ao...ao..."
About a hundred miles away from Black City, there is a dangerous natural area, full of swamps and various poisonous insects, which is completely unsuitable for ordinary people to live.
However, since more than ten years ago, someone accidentally discovered a kind of precious spiritual plant here, it was occupied by a certain force and began to cultivate and maintain it with difficulty.
Although this stronghold is simple, it has also built a small town with a large number of trees in many swamp areas.
In addition, there are two or three spirits in the Gu Ling Realm who have been in charge all year round, and with the many low-level spirits inside, even if they encounter monster attacks over the years, there has not been much problem.
But today it was different. Under the leadership of a powerful monster with the strength of the Shenhe Realm, several monsters in the Guling Realm and dozens of swamp demon wolves below the Guling Realm easily broke through the defense.
The battle has not yet begun, and the two volunteers have already known the ending. Without any accidents, the guardian spirits and workers were easily killed.
Only one of the Guling Realm guards finally fought to the death and barely escaped from the city.
But what awaits him is still not hope.
Before he died, he finally knew what they encountered this time.
Monsters, many monsters, and many monsters gathered together abnormally, forming a large black mass. From the horizon in the distance, there was no way to see how many were there.
In front of these monster army, more than a dozen monster vanguard troops were running quickly towards the edge of the wasteland, each of which was as powerful as the monsters they were attacking.
Before the man could react, he had just jumped out of the city, and was chased by the demon beast of the God-He Realm and easily slapped to death on the ground.
Soon, the city covered by fierce fire was once again left behind by these demon wolves.
At this point, this human stronghold, which is the farthest from Black City, finally ushered in its first destruction.
…………
"You mean, there is a likely tide of beasts that will appear recently?" A middle-aged man in plain gray-white clothes put down his teacup and asked cautiously in the central area of Black City.
This seemingly ordinary man is Sun Ru, the lord of the city housed by Nanliguo in this black city.
In front of Sun Ru, a masked figure in black was kneeling on one knee and replied respectfully: "Yes, sir."
This man was an intelligence officer in the Heicheng City and only secretly contacted Sun Ru, which can be regarded as his confidant.
Sun Ru picked up the teacup again, tasted it, and said, "So, is there still no specific news about this beast tide?"
"Yes, although we have sent additional personnel to go deep into the wasteland, most of the spies have lost the news. At present, only the beast tide will appear. As for the size, type of monsters, etc., there is no accurate news yet." The man in black replied coldly, without any modification.
"Is that true?" Sun Ru didn't say much, and still had a look of neither sadness nor joy on his face. He just tapped the table with his index finger and started to think.
"Okay, you go down first! If there is any new progress, I will immediately repay it. And... I will secretly reveal the matter of the beast tide to the powerful people in the big forces." Sun Ru waved his hand expressionlessly, causing the man in black to retreat again.
Looking at the empty room, a cunning smile suddenly appeared on Sun Ru's originally cold and serious face, and he whispered alone: "Since you have made profits here for so long, you should always do some effort."
…………
In a sunken area in the secret realm, due to the drop in water level, a small pond of a half meter to two meters deep was formed here. The bottom of the water was uneven and there were also a large number of bluestones of various sizes.
Among these bluestones, several aquatic monsters from the Heavenly Spirit Stage and the Earthly Spirit Stage are still staying here, guarding more than a dozen precious elixirs with aura.
At the edge of the pool, the young thief who had met Mu Li and the other two was taking a middle-aged man to watch the remaining five Tianlingshi subordinates fighting with monsters in the water.
"Hurry up, don't waste my time." The young man looked at it coldly, and sometimes urged him with some dissatisfaction, but he had no intention of intervening in helping.
"Young master, why don't I go and help them?" The man beside the young man looked at the battlefield in fierce battle and held the spirit sword in his hand and took the initiative to say to the young man beside him.
However, the young man waved his hand and refused the man's request.
"No, you are different from them. Don't leave me. After all, the place where you work hard is not here."
Faced with the man's request, the young man smiled and refused. At this moment, there was no impatience on his face, and there was not even a trace of greed for spiritual objects in his eyes.
Not long after, under the frequent urging of the young man, after paying the price of two people being seriously injured, the five people finally killed these monsters.
"Okay, thank you everyone for your hard work, let's divide these spiritual medicines evenly. As for you two, you are too seriously injured, so go out first." The young man looked at the injured two and said generously.
Originally, as the young man was a thief, even if he had monopolized the elixir, everyone did not dare to say much, but they did not expect that this time they came in was unexpectedly generous.
Looking at the light of the formation where the two left, the tired figures of the three left, the middle-aged man finally knew why the young man had arranged for himself to lose his combat power along the way.
It seems that he not only wants to get those precious spiritual objects, but also wants to weaken the strength of the people around him in a planned manner, so as not to be rebelled and unable to be suppressed in the end.
