Chapter 9: Entering the Country of Herbs
Hao Qi searched underground for at least five or six hours, hunted seven or eight small animals along the way, and another underground python with a length of at least four meters. Unfortunately, he did not find any trace of the underground phoenix. According to Zhang Heng, this is the area closest to the surface. The underground phoenix in this area has probably been hunted for a long time. After all, an adult underground phoenix can be sold for tens of millions of dollars at auction. Many adventurers teams have been wandering on the underground first floor for many years, and basically all those who can be killed will be killed. Unless they enter the underground phoenix, they will not be able to find the underground phoenix.
However, it takes a long distance to enter the second floor of the underground. Currently, there are only two entrances to the second floor of the underground floor recorded by the official government, all of which are concentrated in the area that has been explored countless times in Baicao Kingdom. It is estimated that it will not be able to get there in a short period of time.
What's more, as Zhang Heng said, the second floor of the ground is full of dangers. Not only is it a problem of visual lighting, but in the second floor of the ground, the geological structures in some places will collapse at any time, the groundwater flow in some places will change from time to time, and magma may suddenly appear in some places, and there are even biological dangers in the second floor of the ground. The creatures there are almost two ecological systems from the creatures on the ground. Unlike the first floor of the ground, many of the creatures on the first floor of the ground can reach the surface, while the creatures on the second floor of the ground almost all reproduce in it for life. Without human interference and influence, no one knows what kind of terrible creatures exist there. Some creatures may parasitize human bodies, some creatures may carry highly toxic, and some creatures may be at the level of evil or even crazy. Not to mention that Hao Qi has entered an internal force realm, even if an internal force realm enters with a martial arts group, people will often die in it, and even the group may be destroyed. There is almost a forbidden area for humans.
"The restricted area... means that there have been almost no explorations there!?"
Hao Qi asked Zhang Heng curiously while biting the roasted snake meat as thick as his arm.
Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Yes, although Baicao Kingdom, Yingguo, Haitian Kingdom, and several surrounding countries, as well as some powerful countries in the eastern Blue Ocean region, a group of people will be organized to enter the underground exploration every few years, including many powerful people in the internal energy realm, but basically the exploration is only the first floor of the underground, the second floor of the underground is roughly explored, as for the third floor of the underground... The books I have seen have only explored twice so far, each time being led by the internal energy realm, but many people have died every time, including several powerful people in the internal energy realm. Therefore, since the last internal energy realm led the team to explore more than 60 years ago, more than 60 years have passed, and no one has explored the third floor of the underground."
"No one explores, unknown, restricted area, dangerous..."
Hao Qi's saliva was almost flowing down. He bit the snake meat on his hand a few bites, swallowing all the snake meat into his belly, and then continued to ask: "So, if you want to enter the third floor of the ground, do you need to report to the Baicao Government? Or do you need to make a certificate? Do you need to pay?"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, and looking at Hao Qi's excited expression, he quickly said, "Brother Hao, although you are in the internal power realm, the third floor of the ground is said to be full of ferocious beasts. Crazy beasts are not as good as dogs. Brother Hao must not be reckless. It is best to make a long-term plan!"
Hao Qiben stayed here for a while, but Zhang Heng seemed to be in a hurry to go back to Baicao National Academy, and there was only one map, so Hao Qi did not force it and followed Zhang Heng to Baicao Country. However, he also planned to buy a regular map from Baicao Government, and if he could not find a chance to make money in Baicao Country, he would simply go to the second floor of the underground. If he could kill a ferocious beast, then he would probably have the money to buy a boat.
In this way, the two stayed underground for almost three days. Finally, Zhang Heng found an exit for a cave to come to the surface. When the two came out from the underground, it happened to be noon. The bright sunshine, the bright weather, the warm breeze, and the fresh air, both of which relaxed and felt better than ever before.
Although Hao Qi wanted to explore the unknown underground, he also admitted that the underground was indeed not a good place. Not to mention the air, many places also had the smell of sulfur and odor. At the same time, except for the light of torches, there was only a few cave squares with a glimmer of light. In addition to the narrow environment, it made people feel very depressed. Although I felt novel when I entered, if I stayed for a long time, it would be extremely depressing.
Hao Qi has planned underground exploration into long-term matters in his mind. At least he does not plan to explore it at once. He stays underground for a few months or even years. This is too crazy. Anyway, after hearing what Zhang Heng said, not only is the underground world like Baicao State, but it seems that most parts of the world can lead to underground. So he has many opportunities to explore in the future. His current primary task is still to make money first and then buy his own ship.
The place where the two of them crawled out of the ground was still a mountainous area, but at the front, a vast plain appeared in front of them. In the center of the plain, you can see a huge modern city, and manors, villages, and farmland were scattered around the city. The only exception is that there is a complex of tall towers next to the city. The complex is simply dazzling than the city. All the towers are made of granite. The tall towers are two or three hundred meters high, completely a huge tower, and other towers are generally around 100 meters. Looking at the mountain halfway up at Hao Qi, the group of towers shines with sunlight, which is 100 times dazzling than the city next to it.
"There is only one capital city in Baicao Kingdom. The tall tower group next to it is the National Medical University. Does it seem that the medical university is more dazzling than the capital? It is said that the inner Qi Realm who founded Baicao Kingdom and the Medical University was still alive and still lives in seclusion in Baicao. Some people even said they lived in seclusion in medical university. I heard some foreign students studying abroad say that there is a half master of the inner Qi Realm in the eastern part of the Blue Ocean. The half of them refers to our Baicao Kingdom and may also live in seclusion in an internal Qi Realm. But no one is sure, so it is considered half." Zhang Heng stood beside Hao Qi and said with a little pride.
Hao Qi was also very interested in watching it. He made up his mind to go to the medical university to have a good time. This is a super novel building complex that he had never seen in his previous life. How could he not see it?
