"This is the nearest passage to the location of our mink people. It is the shortcut I discovered before! If we fly there honestly, we may not be able to arrive in two months!" Yibu said.

"Is this underground world so big?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.

"Of course! The underground world is much larger than the ground world. After all, there is only one layer on the ground, and there are many layers on the underground world. Even I have never been to many places." Yibu said after glaring at him.

"Ah! There are many layers in the underground world?"

"Yes, the underground world is cone-down, and the area of ​​each layer is not equal. Among them, the largest is the first layer, which is almost as large as the entire China continent and nearby sea islands. The underground creatures living in it are the most, the weakest. The lower the area, the smaller the area. Moreover, there are powerful underground guardians guarding the entrance to each layer." Yibu said.

Jiang Chen was extremely shocked. Although he heard from the Demon Saint Ancestor that there was an underground world where the minks and lizards lived, he did not expect that there were many layers inside.

"By the way, why should we guard the guardians of the entrance sect on each floor? Why is this?" Jiang Chen asked with some wonder.

Yibu said: "The reason is very simple. It is to avoid the underground creatures on the lower level entering the upper level for slaughtering, and also to prevent the creatures on the upper level from slaughtering their lives. After all, the lower the strength of the underground creatures is, the stronger the strength of the underground creatures. The underground world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. The reason why each entrance is strong must be guarded by powerful guardians is to shock the underground creatures on the lower level and prevent them from rushing into the upper level and causing genocide. Otherwise, the underground world would have been in chaos long ago."

"Oh? Then which level do you mink people live on?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

"Most of them live on the first floor!" said Ib.

"Oh my God! Your powerful strength is on the first level, how powerful will the people at the bottom of the underground world be?" Jiang Chen was shocked now.

"Haha, it's not what you think. Most of our mink people live on the first level, because they are not strong enough, and those with strong strength will naturally live on the lower levels. Because the lower the world, the greater the gravity and the stronger the heat. Although people with weak strength will be uncomfortable, it is an excellent place for people with strong strength. People with strong strength are already living on the eighth level of the earth." Yibu explained with a smile.

Jiang Chen now understood. The rules of the underground world are: people with poor strength can only live on the top level no matter which race they are. When their strength has reached a certain level, they can enter the bottom level. Those who are stronger can live on the next level. Those who are at the bottom level don’t know how strong their strength will be.

"How many levels are there in the underground world?" Jiang Chen asked.

"There are nine floors in total. Depending on your early stage of Nascent Soul, I'm afraid you can only be on the sixth floor. However, my alchemy room is on the eighth floor. It seems that you have to apply for a special pass token for you." Yi Bu said with a frown.

"Oh? What's going on with this special pass token?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

"According to the rules of the underground world, people at all levels can only stay in the appropriate level of the world according to their own strength. If people in the previous level of the world want to enter the next level of the world, they just need to defeat the Guardian."

"For example, the first level world is a place where ordinary creatures stay. If they want to enter the second level world, they only need to defeat the guardians who have increased their strength to the early stage of Qi Refining. People in the second level world need to enter the third level world, they only need to defeat the guardians who have the middle stage of Qi Refining. And so on. You are now in the early stage of Nascent Soul and can enter the sixth level world, but entering the seventh level world is probably not qualified, let alone going to the eighth level world I am in."

After pausing for a moment, Ib continued: "But the underground world is a world of mixed races after all. Like me, as the great elder of the mink race, people from the mink race often have to report to me. The Underworld Elders Court gave each race a certain number of special pass tokens."

"People holding special pass tokens are called special envoys and can pass freely in the first to eighth floors of the world. Moreover, people of all races along the way are not allowed to attack special envoys. Otherwise, they will be killed by the Underworld World Guard sent by the Elders' House. However, it is difficult to apply for that special pass token. After all, the Elders' House is an underground world order maintenance agency composed of masters of various races of Nascent Soul Stage and above. Although my mink clan is one of the three major races, I cannot give the Pass token by myself."

"Since that's the case, Senior Yibu, then I'll wait here. You can apply first!" Jiang Chen said seriously immediately.

"Hmph, do you think I don't know what you are thinking? I want to take the opportunity to escape? Jiang Chen. You don't have to worry about me keeping you locked up for the rest of my life. As long as you can develop three kinds of elixirs that can be compared with the Foundation Building Pill for me, I will let you go back and I will also give you some treasures that will definitely make you jealous!"

"Actually, it may not be a disaster for you to come to the underground world. The underground world can be much faster than the ground world, especially the faster you get to the lower level. According to your current progress, human cultivators can also practice faster, but it is estimated that it will not work if you want to reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul cultivation for less than one or two hundred years. But in the underground world, you may reach it within three years." Yibu snorted coldly and said.

"Oh? Really? If it's really as magical as you said, then if I work hard, I might be able to reach the seventh level." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Yibu's eyes lit up at this time: "The seventh floor? If you can reach the seventh floor, it will be much easier, because in order to improve your overall strength, the underground world allows the creatures on the previous floor to experience one month a year to the safe area on the next floor. At that time, you can come to use my alchemy room."

"But, Senior Yibu, am I helping you in vain? I still have to fight the guardian of Luo Shizi in one go!" Jiang Chen yawned and said.

"Hmph! I knew you were a kid who would go without profit." These days, Yibu has also known Jiang Chen's temperament.

"Tell me! What do you want? If it's not too much, I can promise you!" Yibu said.

"I don't need anything else, I just need to help me deal with an enemy." Jiang Chen remembered the battle between the righteous and the demons. Now the situation in the Demon Sect is not good, so how can I fight without attracting some helpers?

"You have to explain clearly what kind of enemy it is. If it is the right way, the enemy like the Demon Sect, don't talk about me. Even if the entire mink tribe is in battle together, it will not be enough for others to kill." Yibu was not a fool either. He still had some understanding of the situation in the ground world.

"I don't need you to take action, but you have to support me, such as providing weapons and equipment, and allowing me to recruit experts from the Diao Ren clan. Of course, I will pay for those things, and the recruited experts will be only if they are willing to go. They will not force them." Jiang Chen explained. He also heard that the Diao Ren clan has many weapons and magic weapons that are completely different from human monks.

Yibu thought about it and felt that he was not at a disadvantage in this condition. He would definitely not give him the most advanced weapons and magic weapons of the Diao Ren. Anyway, Jiang Chen doesn't know what equipment he has, just give him some that he can buy in the underground world. And if the real master of the clan is willing to accept his employment, he might even be resentful if he just blocks it. Why should he be this evil person?

"Okay! I agree!" Yibu thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"Okay! Then the deal! Let's go down the next level!" Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two walked down for about a week. When Jiang Chen thought the underground world was dark, the surrounding environment gradually became brighter. At first, it was just dark red, but gradually it turned red. The light source came from the surrounding stone walls. The deeper it went down, the more surprised Jiang Chen was. What appeared in front of him was no longer a passage, but an extremely vast space. The walls on the top and the side of the holes on the side all showed a bright red. The energy in the air became more and more intense.

Through careful observation and feeling with Hawkeye technique, Jiang Chen discovered that the red light brought by the cave walls is because some crystals are condensed on these cave walls, or some crystal components. These crystals are not known to have gradually accumulated over the years. They are like small pieces of energy crystals that merge with the rocks and emit this red light.

If they want to evaluate their quality, then Jiang Chen believes that if these crystals can be collected and compressed in large quantities, they may have the same effect as spirit stones. Obviously, the underground world itself is a huge treasure house, and this is just the first level. When you reach a deeper level, you will definitely find new discoveries.

Yibu saw Jiang Chen peeling off the energy crystals on the cave wall and putting them into the storage bag, and shook his head and said, "You are really a wealthy fan. Let me tell you: the energy crystals on the first layer are of the worst quality, so no one wants them here. You will not know until the seventh layer. The energy crystals there are no less quality than the lower-grade spirit stones in your human world. And there are much more."

"Really?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What am I lying to you? You will know when you arrive." Yibu sneered.

Just as the two were talking, they saw a large number of underground creatures running over. What surprised Jiang Chen was that these underground creatures were very similar to the mink man. They were about the height of Qi Jiangchen, with a thin and dry figure, and looked like they didn't look a few taels of flesh. However, their heads were very large, similar to those of adult humans. Their figure was obviously disproportionate.

In addition to their particularly large heads, these weird underground creatures also have a pair of particularly large eyes, which are at least three times larger than humans. Moreover, their eyes are dark green. Under the faint red light around them, they look like a mass of ghost fire, which is daunting.

Although these underground creatures look like minks, from their heads, they are very different from the Yibu beside them. Moreover, Jiang Chen feels that their strength is very weak, and they are probably all ordinary creatures, not even two of them in the first level of the Qi Refining Stage. However, they run very quickly, similar to normal humans. It is hard to imagine that their two short legs, like bamboo poles, can run as fast as they are. In addition to the previous characteristics, the hair of these earth-center creatures is also very distinctive, green, and looks like they are wearing a cuckold, which makes Jiang Chen a little funny.

However, Jiang Chen's spiritual sense felt that these underground creatures similar to mink people had reached their limits and were about to run away. And behind, there seemed to be a lot of underground creatures that looked similar to those in front of them. The people chasing behind should be stronger. If you continue like this, you may be caught up with the people in front of you soon.

"Senior Yibu, these people look like you mink men!" Jiang Chen couldn't help but say.

"This is a branch of our martened human race, the gray martened human race. They heard that they were in a civil war some time ago, which is rare among underground races known for their unity. However, because I am coming to capture you, I have no time to go in detail about these chores about them." Yibu said.
