All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Purgatory world, a desolate but not deserted rift valley area.

Wang Zhifan relied on the invisible strange clothes to change himself into clothes similar to those of the locals, appearing as a relatively ordinary armored warrior, sitting cross-legged on a large rock in the corner and practicing silently.

He practiced very seriously, often staying as still as a piece of wood for an hour at a time, concentrating on feeling and touching the laws of space around him.

Hard work will naturally pay off. Compared to the weak space ripples he caused when he first came to this place, he can now barely create a miniature space vortex in the palm of his hand, and his influence on the weak space here is getting stronger and stronger.

At this moment, he was still sitting cross-legged on the stone and practiced again.

He raised his hand with his palm facing down and gently pressed it against the surface of the stone beside him.

During the process, he used all his strength to stimulate a miniature space vortex, causing it to not only continue to appear, but also to slowly move downward as his palm moved, as if he was using a youthful version of the Rasengan in the anime.

Finally, when he gently pressed the "Rasengan" into the rock with his palm, something strange happened.

There was almost no sound, and no sight of any flying gravel. Under his palm, complex spiral pits suddenly appeared on the rock, as if some stones were missing from that position out of thin air, as silently as a bubble suddenly bursting and disappearing.

"Successful. Now I am in this Great Rift Valley. Not only can I touch the laws of space, but I can also exert a certain degree of control over it and complete an offensive space spell. This can be said to be a breakthrough to a new level."

Raising his palm, Wang Zhifan looked at the extremely smooth vortex-shaped hole left on the rock beneath his palm and said with joy in his heart.

This could indeed be considered a small milestone on his path of cultivation, as he had achieved a preliminary grasp of the laws of space. Although this could currently only be done in the Great Rift Valley where the laws were weak, it was undoubtedly a huge improvement.

"That's all for today. I can predict that the next phase will be a long bottleneck period. It's not cost-effective to continue grinding. I should try to continue practicing in a place where the laws of space are more stable, or turn to study the laws of time."

Wang Zhifan then quickly stood up from the stone, stretched his limbs and thought in his mind.

His practice of the legendary technique, the Mysterious Chapter of Eternal Freedom in All Time and Space, has only yet to overcome a simplified lower branch of a difficult branch, and there will still be many difficulties to overcome in the future.

However, just as he was thinking about which world to go to next, a burst of wanton laughter came from the center of the Grand Canyon not far from him, as if several natives had a dispute.

It must be pointed out here that during Wang Zhifan's practice, people would be teleported into this Grand Canyon from time to time. It couldn't be said to be endless, but it would not be quiet for more than twenty minutes.

Sometimes there are only one or two people teleported here, and sometimes there are dozens or even hundreds of them. That’s why it is said that this place is desolate but not deserted.

"Hank! Are you going to pay the membership fee or not?
If you can't even take out a gold coin now, just get out of here!
We, the Iron Dragon Adventure Group, will not take a useless piece of trash like you into Purgatory!"

"Uncle, didn't I pay the tour fee? Why do you want more?"

"Who told you to pay? What you paid before was just the transmission fee, understand? Pay the difference now!"

"You...you clearly didn't say that just now!"

"Get lost, you little brat!
Just because you bought a sword, you really think you are an adventurer?

Without our protection, you won't be able to return alive!"

"Hahaha! This silly boy! He thinks anyone can explore Purgatory? This is really making me laugh to death!"

"Boy, listen to your uncle. Stay here and don't cause trouble for us, or we will be rude to you!"

"Yes! Let's consider this as our Iron Dragon Adventure Group giving you a growth education!
Don’t feel unconvinced! It’s useless even if you feel unconvinced! Hahahaha!”

……

Amidst a burst of laughter, Wang Zhifan saw seven or eight local professionals in different attire swaggering out of the Grand Canyon and heading towards the direction of the outer purgatory. Only a thin young man holding a dagger was left standing there, shaking with anger, but helpless.

This scene had nothing to do with Wang Zhifan, but it reminded him of something he had neglected for a long time.

"What was my original plan in this purgatory world... Collecting perfect equipment? I think it's called that...

According to my initial inference, the perfect equipment is at least epic level, and it is indeed worth collecting...

How about we make some progress today?"

He began to think about looking for equipment in Purgatory. The reason had something to do with the Dead Souls dungeon that had just ended.

He didn't find any useful equipment in the Dead Soul Land dungeon, so he wanted to find a supplement through other channels.

Just as he was pondering whether to start a treasure hunt or go to another world to carry out the normal plan, he suddenly sensed that the indigenous boy who had been ridiculed and abandoned by others was running towards where he was, and obviously noticed him.

"What is this guy doing here? Could it be that he wants to team up with me because I'm alone and look like a professional? I don't have the habit of bringing people along as a burden."

Wang Zhifan immediately guessed what would happen next, but he could say responsibly that he did not intend to bring others to search for the treasure.

Because it is almost impossible for others to keep up with his pace, especially a young man like this who is obviously weak. Taking him along out of kindness will only be asking for trouble.

However, Wang Zhifan's eyes were very sharp. He then noticed that the boy seemed to be holding something in his other hand besides the dagger as he ran towards him. This made him not choose to leave immediately, but watch the boy run to him.

As expected, the young man, holding a short sword in one hand and something in the other, rushed to Wang Zhifan, the only person in the Grand Canyon besides him, and immediately said:
"Uncle! You look like a very powerful warrior! Please team up with me and go into Purgatory! I must go into Purgatory to explore! Please!"

When Wang Zhifan heard this, his face suddenly became a little displeased. Not to mention that the young man's words were meaningless and he only considered himself, his words had no persuasiveness at all. Just calling him "uncle" made him speechless.

"Do I look that old? You actually called me an uncle?"

So Wang Zhifan replied bluntly, his condescending eyes revealing a bit of coldness.

"Uh... Big... Big Brother, don't be angry! You look very young! I was dazzled just now! Please help me! I have a reason to explore Purgatory..."

Although the aboriginal boy was frightened by Wang Zhifan's terrifying gaze, he still insisted on persuading him with undisguised eagerness.

However, Wang Zhifan quickly interrupted his chatter and said bluntly:

"Little friend, you have to remember!
When you ask for help, you should tell them why they want you to help. You should talk from the perspective of why they must help you! It is meaningless to just say how anxious you are! Goodbye! "

After saying that, Wang Zhifan flew into the air and prepared to run towards the depths of Purgatory, but the young man below seemed to have come to his senses after hearing his words. He immediately raised the thing he had been holding in his hand and shouted:
"Wait! If you are willing to help me! I can give you half of the treasure I find!"

Wang Zhifan was immediately attracted by his words. He turned his head and looked down, and found that the young man standing on the ground was holding a small crystal ball in his hand. There seemed to be a faint light flickering in the crystal ball.

"Treasure? What treasure?"

He stopped his Qinggong and landed on the ground, then looked at the boy in front of him who looked a little nervous and asked.

"I... I don't know much... but my grandfather said it can lead me to a treasure in Purgatory. If you help me, you can... share half of it..."

The young man tightly grasped the strange crystal ball in his hand and responded incoherently due to nervousness.

"So you're saying that this thing is a guiding crystal ball? It points to the location of a treasure in Purgatory?"

After listening to it, Wang Zhifan repeated what the boy said.

"That's right! Grandpa said that only he could find this treasure, and he also warned me that I must grow up and become strong before joining the adventure group!
But now my brothers and sisters are sick and need a lot of money to cure! I can only count on it!
Please help me! I will give you half of what I find as agreed!"

The boy seemed to have made up his mind to take a gamble and told everyone the general situation.

Wang Zhifan looked at the aboriginal boy who was probably less than thirteen years old, and then glanced at the glowing crystal ball tightly held in his hand. He judged that he was not lying, and responded after a little thought:

"Okay, I'm planning to go to the depths of Purgatory anyway, so it doesn't matter if I take you alone. Let's set off now!"

After saying that, he grabbed the boy's arm and pulled him up into the sky. Then, amid the boy's panicked shouts, he activated the Wind and Thunder Sky-Stepping Art to gradually accelerate and took him flying towards the depths of purgatory.

It has to be said that this young man has a strong ability to adapt. After the initial fear and panic, he gradually got used to the feeling of being carried in the air by Wang Zhifan, and even looked at the vast purgatory land below with curiosity.

"Don't look around, just give me directions."

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan asked him to focus on his own business, which was to rely on the crystal ball in his hand to determine the path to the treasure, otherwise the two of them would just be like headless flies flying around.

"Please pay attention to the light of the crystal ball! The brighter it is, the closer you are to the treasure!"

The young man then explained, making Wang Zhifan realize that the path guidance was not very simple and clear, because they had flown for a distance and the brightness of the crystal ball had hardly changed.

"Oh my goodness... this is going to be a bit troublesome."

Complaining in his heart, Wang Zhifan had no choice but to speed with the boy while observing the light of the crystal ball. Even though he had excellent eyesight, it took him a while to run in several directions before he found out the approximate location.

However, once you determine the target direction more accurately, the rest of the journey will be very easy.

Wang Zhifan accelerated all the way, watching the crystal ball becoming brighter and brighter, until the two of them landed on a nondescript piece of purgatory wasteland. The crystal ball reached its maximum brightness and even made a slight sound.

This place is not too far from the previous Grand Canyon area, less than 50 kilometers away, and is far from being the core area of ​​purgatory. Surrounding it are barren sandy and gravel ground and sparse strange plants, as well as some skeletal remains of unknown creatures, filling the air with an empty and dead silence.

The aboriginal boy held the crystal ball in his hand, which was emitting light like a flickering lamp. His expression turned grim. He looked around and said in a trembling voice with strong disappointment:
"How come there is nothing... How could this happen! Grandpa couldn't possibly lie to me!"

Wang Zhifan on the side seemed much calmer. He did not expect the boy's crystal ball to lead him to some rare treasure. Without high hopes, there would naturally be no strong disappointment.

And his extraordinary perception told him that things didn't seem that simple.

"Brother! I understand! The treasure must be buried underground! I'll start digging now! I'm sure I can find the treasure!"

The boy then placed the crystal ball on the ground and began to dig nearby with the dagger in his hand, as if he was sure that the treasure was buried underground.

However, every time he tried hard, he could only dig out a tiny amount of hard soil from the barren ground. However, he was unwilling to give up and kept struggling with the earth with his dagger.

"Don't waste your energy. There's nothing underground. Just wait."

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan gave a calm reminder but did not join in.

As a being with strong perception, he was very sure that there was no so-called treasure buried in the land beneath his feet.

If this is true, if there is something buried underground in this outer area, it would probably have been dug up by other indigenous professionals long ago.

You know, those people have very sensitive noses.

But this doesn't mean he thinks this treasure hunt is a complete scam.

Because he had discovered that something was quietly gathering and taking shape around him, and the center of the gathering was the glowing crystal ball placed on the ground.

So, when the native boy was digging the ground with a dagger like a possessed man, sweating profusely and almost falling to the ground, Wang Zhifan saw a tiny dot of light slowly appearing next to the crystal ball, and then slowly began to circle around the two of them.

"Stop digging, it's time to get on with the journey."

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan immediately kicked the boy who was working in vain, reminding him to get up immediately.

After all, the current movement trajectory of the light spot is undoubtedly urging them to get on the road quickly, and it will be their turn to guide the way.

The boy was not really a fool. After noticing the abnormality around him, he and Wang Zhifan followed the guidance of the light spot and went towards the depths of purgatory. Before leaving, he did not forget to pick up the crystal ball.

They followed the light for about two kilometers and soon came to a grove of hideous-looking trees.

The grove was low, and it was evident at first sight that it contained nothing but danger.

But the light spot that led Wang Zhifan and the other two here soon merged with a part of the bush, making one of the trees grow ten times taller and thicker in an instant, and then a round hole appeared on the trunk. (End of this chapter)
