I am cultivating an immortal in the game arena

Chapter 21 The hunt begins (second update)
rustling...

I don’t know what time it was when they entered this world. Not long after they left, the sky became darker and darker, and the mountain forest that was originally shrouded in haze now looked even darker.

The thick moss under my feet made me feel even more disgusting at the moment. It was extremely sticky and soft. It was okay at first, but soon after I stepped on it my boots were soaked. What was even more annoying was that it was extremely slippery.

Hua Lin, who was walking in front, almost fell to the ground several times.

"Blind man, are you sure we are heading in the right direction?"

Hua Lin turned back to look at He Fan angrily. According to the direction of the blind man, they had been running for at least half an hour. They had not met either allies or righteous disciples. Most importantly, they had not found them yet. A coffin.

He Fan spread his hands helplessly: "The hexagram is like this. It is safest for us to go to the west. How about we change the direction?"

"Forget it, let's take a rest first and wait until Mo Yu goes forward to find out the news before making a decision."

Hua Lin grimaced, took out an animal skin from his storage bag and threw it on the ground, but even so, his butt was still wet after sitting down.

He took off his boots and saw that the skin on his feet had been soaked and turned white, sore and itchy. He pulled lightly with his fingers and tore off a large piece of skin.

He Fan took off his robe, squeezed hard, and squeezed out a puddle of water. Then he sat on a tree branch, took out some cakes from his storage bag, and slowly put them to his mouth to eat.

Seeing Zhang Jun sit down, he handed the cake to him: "Junior Brother Zhao, it's okay."

"It's not bad. It's just that my legs are filled with lead and my feet are a little soft when I walk."

Zhang Jun took the cake and complained. At this moment, all his clothes seemed to be stuck to his body. If he moved even slightly, he would feel itchy all over his body, which made people want to go crazy.

But that's all. In comparison, my feet are extremely comfortable.

This is also thanks to Elder Li’s enthusiastic care.

The [Ruyi Golden Silk Boots] on the feet have no other abilities and are mainly about comfort.

Warm in winter and cool in summer, water and fire will not invade, and snow will not leave any trace.

This seemingly rubbish magic weapon was definitely practical here at the moment. However, Zhang Jun wisely chose to hide this matter when he saw that the skin of Hua He's feet was soaked to pieces.

"Be patient, who would have thought that this environment would be so bad? By the way, what level has Junior Brother Zhao's Blood Demon Kung Fu reached?"

After He Fan finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Zhang Jun would think too much, he hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I have a fine iron and steel sword here. It is the best to match the domineering power of the Blood Demon Kung Fu, so I gave it to Junior Brother Zhao. .”

As he said that, He Fan took out a steel knife from his storage bag and handed it to Zhang Jun.

After Zhang Jun took it, he felt that the steel knife was very heavy, weighing at least twenty or thirty kilograms. Fortunately, he was in good health and had already passed the bone refining stage, otherwise he would not have been able to play with it.

"It's a good knife, thank you Senior Brother He."

Zhang Jun put the knife into his storage bag, but said nothing about his own cultivation.

Seeing this, He Fan didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, Zhang Jun knew his situation very well.

The fifteenth floor of the Qi Gathering Ladder corresponds to the fifteenth floor of the Qi Gathering Realm. Now that I am not even on the first floor, why do I say it?
free?

"Squeak!!"

At this time, there was a sharp sound of birdsong in the distance.

Hearing the sound, Hua He stood up abruptly. He didn't even put on his shoes at all, and rushed forward with a knife in his bare feet.

"Hurry up, there's something going on!"

He Fan jumped down from the treetop and called Zhang Jun to follow him quickly.

After the three of them passed through a bush, they heard the sound of fighting in front of them.

Hua Lin immediately signaled the two of them to slow down, groped up bit by bit, and parted the bushes to take a look.

The two groups of people were fighting fiercely, but the fog was so thick that Zhang Jun could only see vague shadows, and it was not clear what the specific situation was.

"They are from the Five Saints Sect and the Heavenly Tribulation Sect."

Although He Fan cannot see with his eyes, he can see more clearly with the blessing of his mind's eye.

"Haha, the road between enemies is narrow."

Hua Ling grinned and sneered, but he didn't know which group of people the enemies he mentioned were.

"East!"

At this time, He Fan suddenly turned his head to the side and motioned for them to look east.

In the white mist, a black coffin was inserted straight into the soil.

"coffin!"

Hua Lin's eyes shone, he had finally found it after searching for so long.

Zhang Jun couldn't see the coffin clearly, he could only make out its outline. But when he saw the coffin, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Because he saw a scarlet question mark on the coffin.

Bright, even ferocious, particularly dazzling in the white mist.

After this period of exploration, Zhang Jun had a rough understanding of these question marks.

Question marks can not only give you information and tasks, but question marks of different colors also correspond to different difficulty levels of tasks.White is the easiest, some are blue with some difficulty, gold is high-quality, the difficulty is not too high, but the rewards are the highest.

But no matter how Zhang Jun looked at the big red question mark that smelled of blood, he didn't think this coffin was a good thing.

He squinted his eyes, trying to read the information on the question mark.

【Coffin】

Legend has it that it is a coffin from Fengdu Huangquan, where the bad luck and butchers of the past are buried...

[Task: Open the coffin...

Before he could finish reading the above information, Zhang Jun's consciousness suddenly tranced, and a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in his mind. Immediately afterwards, a burst of tingling pain suddenly erupted in his head, and the severe pain felt like He was hit hard on the head with a hammer.

I almost screamed.

Fortunately, He Fan noticed something was wrong and covered his mouth.

"What's wrong with you? You look so bad?"

Hua Lin frowned and looked back at Zhang Jun, but was shocked when he saw that his face was frighteningly gray and his temples were bulging.

Zhang Jun felt dizzy and the pain made him want to curse.

"Mental exhaustion, what the hell, what are you doing?"

He Fan put his finger on his pulse and immediately understood what was going on. He just wondered what Zhang Jun had done to drain his mental energy.

Zhang Jun shook his head and tried to wake himself up, but at this time, the sound of fighting in the distance suddenly stopped.

The three of them were startled and stuck their heads out to look outside.

The figures who were originally fighting lively were all standing motionless on the spot.

"Strange, why did they stop?"

Zhang Jun also felt strange, but his eyes were looking in the direction of the coffin again. However, what he didn't expect was that the question mark on the coffin actually disappeared.

The question mark is gone?
It shouldn't be, could it be...

At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly thought that the task prompt seemed to open the coffin. Now that the question mark has disappeared, could it be that...

Someone has opened the coffin?
He was lost in thought when Hua Lin suddenly noticed the figure in the white mist, walking towards this direction in unison.

His face suddenly changed: "No, they found us, soon..."

The last word hasn't come out of my mouth yet.

There was a "collapse" sound.

The surrounding white mist was suddenly curled together by a strong air pressure.

Hua Lin only saw a streak of blood, and instinctively swung the long knife in his hand to strike.

The blood exploded on Hua Chen's blade with a "peng" sound. The terrifying impact force made Hua Chen, a master of the thirteenth level of energy gathering, almost unable to hold the knife. His arm went numb, followed by both hands. No consciousness.

Fortunately, the trajectory of the blood light also changed. After tearing off a long strip of flesh from Hua He's arm, it penetrated directly into the dead tree next to it.

"Bang...ta-da-da..."

Although it was a dead tree, it was as thick as a bowl, but it was cut off by a direct shot.

What made Zhang Jun and the others feel their scalps tingle even more was that after the bloody light dissipated, the three of them took a closer look and found that it turned out to be a human spine.

There is also a bloody human head behind the spine. If you look closely, it seems to be the head of a girl.

"what is this???"

Zhang Jun suddenly turned around and looked around. At this moment, the white mist behind him cleared. The disciples of the Five Saints Sect and the Heavenly Tribulation Sect were standing there blankly. Among them was the headless corpse of a woman.

Next to the girl's headless body, a tall and burly humanoid creature was standing on the spot holding a dark long bow.

His physique is very strong, with well-defined muscles, rough skin, and a dead white color mixed with a kind of brown.

His head was wrapped in a black mist, like a mask, leaving only a pair of dark red eyes. Slender tentacles spread out from the black mist, and several of them were piercing the Five Saints Sect and the Heavenly Sect. On the disciples of Jie Sect.

Scarlet eyes looked towards Zhang Jun, filled with vicious light.

He stretched out his hand and walked to the disciple of the Five Saints Sect. His thick and sharp fingers directly penetrated the disciple's flesh and grabbed his spine.

Pump hard...

The sound of the spine being torn echoed in the woods. When they saw the spine and the head being pulled up together, Zhang Jun and the other two people also had the illusion of falling into hell.

There was a ball of air in his chest that was stuck in his throat, giving him a feeling of suffocation, until he saw the bloody pupils flashing with violent killing intent and the pleasure of killing.

Zhang Jun suddenly trembled, his whole face turned red, and he screamed:
"run!!!"

　Let me explain here. Although the rewards given by the mission are many, I can hold it down and won’t jump (I am so confident!)

　　In addition, most of the items are carried in tasks, but not every task is mandatory. It just shows this information. The protagonist can measure it by himself. If he can do it, just do it. If he can't, just ignore him.

　　Finally, this is the first time for a new author to write a novel. If there are any shortcomings in the writing, please give me some pointers and we can discuss them together.
