Chapter 107: Strange Phenomenon in the Catacombs

Li Yuanqing had originally planned to enter the catacombs immediately after informing these people because he did not want to stay here for too long. However, he did not expect Qin Feng to have instructed his martial artists. Furthermore, others could guess that he had something to ask of him.

Could it be about the catacombs?

Li Yuanqing decided to meet Qin Feng. After all, he planned to enter the catacombs, and Qin Feng would definitely know more than others if he guarded the catacombs here.

Qin Feng arrived very quickly with many people following behind him. When all the martial artists saw Li Yuanqing, their eyes lit up. This was because the guardian of the Northern Kingdom, Li Yuanqing, had only been known recently.

Originally, after so many things happened to the Northern Kingdom, not only did it not fall, but it even stood tall. Everyone knew that there was a powerful guardian behind it. The original Old Ancestor had probably already died.

However, the new guardian was the eldest brother of the current Great Empress and the former Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom. This identity allowed the prestige of the royal family to reach its peak, and it also made the entire Northern Kingdom worship Li Yuanqing.

An expert who could become a Human God could let the Northern Kingdom be safe for many years.

Li Yuanqing had almost become the hope and faith of the entire Northern Kingdom. This feeling of treating him as a god made his name the strongest existence in the hearts of all martial artists and became a faith.

Qin Feng invited Li Yuanqing into a room. Everyone was locked outside. He had set up a restriction here. People inside could not hear the conversation inside.

After bowing solemnly to Li Yuanqing, Qin Feng explained his intentions.

“I’ve been guarding the catacombs for a long time. We’ve killed many demons in the process. We obtained a rather strange item. It’s this. There’s only one. And this is something we obtained from a terrifying-level demon. I guess this thing must represent an identity or have some special effect…”

As he spoke, Qin Feng took out a palm-sized stone-like object. That thing was abnormally smooth and looked like a white mirror. However, it could not reflect a person’s appearance.

Li Yuanqing took the item. The first thing he felt was a jolt of energy. When he held it in his hand, he felt refreshed.

There should be a fluctuation of spiritual energy in this thing, but other than that, Qin Feng could not say what it was used for and what its benefits were. He had only obtained three of these things after so many years of war, but he still could not figure out its effects.

Thinking that Li Yuanqing was the strongest, Qin Feng handed the items to him. He wanted to ask him what use these items had.

Li Yuanqing flipped through it several times, but he could not figure out what use it had. He did not bother about it anymore. He put it away and told Qin Feng that he was going to the catacombs.

Qin Feng nodded. However, after watching Li Yuanqing walk into the catacombs, he immediately turned around and ordered all the martial artists guarding the catacombs to not leave this place from now on. They had to guard this place.

Moreover, he could not tell anyone about Li Yuanqing entering the catacombs. Everyone had to keep it a secret.

This was because Li Yuanqing was the guardian of the Northern Kingdom. Nothing could happen to him. If he was in any danger, it would shake the foundation of the Northern Kingdom because he had already become the faith of the Northern Kingdom.

For the sake of the Northern Kingdom, Qin Feng felt that he had to clean up the aftermath. Although he could not stop Li Yuanqing, he could not let the news of him entering the catacombs spread.

Li Yuanqing did not care so much. When he walked into the entrance of Catacomb No. 2, he felt the surrounding temperature drop.

Then, it was a little damp inside. He continued walking in and felt that the entrance was very long. Furthermore, he also discovered that the entrance to the catacombs was like a maze. There were actually many forks in the path, but this should be the only exit to the human world. However, there seemed to be many exits in the catacombs.

At least different forks could lead to different places.

Li Yuanqing walked very carefully down here, almost silently. That was because those demons had appeared here.

Time passed quietly. After an unknown period of time, Li Yuanqing finally felt that the temperature outside had dropped significantly.

When he reached a place with a huge suction force, it was as if something was squeezing his body desperately. Li Yuanqing even had the illusion that his soul would be squeezed out in the next moment. He even heard his bones creak and his face was almost deformed from the squeezing. However, when he looked at the walls on both sides of the hole, there was nothing unusual.

This was a strange place. Only by rushing over would he reach the other side of the catacombs.

Li Yuanqing’s Shadowless Art and Sand Escape Technique were used to the extreme. It was not particularly difficult to cross this path. He had no idea how many demons had been minced here.

Li Yuanqing quickly arrived at the entrance of a cave. There was light coming from here, which should be the exit. However, there was a whistling sound coming from the exit. He did not know if it was a gust of wind or something else.

At this point, Li Yuanqing was once again certain that he had not taken the wrong path. This was because he had been paying attention to the traces of demons along the way. This should be the entrance to the catacombs.

After confirming that he had not taken the wrong path, Li Yuanqing did not hesitate and walked straight into the cave.

There was a stinging pain on his skin and a wave of dizziness that almost made Li Yuanqing faint. This shocked him. Fortunately, this feeling did not last long. His eyes lit up as he appeared in another place.

The sky here was gray. There was no sun or moon. The entire environment was gray and there was very little green.

This place was a little similar to the desert in his previous life. Although there were some bushes, it was more of a dusty yellow soil. Moreover, the trees here were not as tall as the Land of War. Instead, it was a little similar to the Earth where Li Yuanqing stayed in his previous life.

This made him happy. Although the Northern Kingdom was good, it was more like his second hometown. The Earth in his previous life was the place he yearned for. However, he did not know if this world and the previous world had the possibility of overlapping or parallel.

Li Yuanqing walked carefully and a notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Do you want to sign in at the Catacombs?]

“Sign in!”

There was indeed a sign-in reward after entering a new place. This was similar to Li Yuanqing’s guess.

[Congratulations on signing in successfully a hundred times. You are rewarded with food!]

[One: Reward 50 kilograms of food!]

[Two: Reward a water source!]

The rewards here were quite strange. They actually rewarded food and water? This disappointed Li Yuanqing. He had everything he needed in the Northern Kingdom. He did not have to worry at all. He didn’t expect the system to reward him with these things when he came to the Catacombs.

Stingy!

However, according to Li Yuanqing’s thoughts, the cave was gray and dry. He was already at the Spirit Transformation Realm. It would not be a problem for him to not eat for ten days, half a month, or even a year.

However, he couldn’t do it without water. Therefore, although the reward from the system was a little ridiculous, he still chose a water source. This was because the rewards from the system would automatically appear in his domain. Therefore, there was a river that was about a few meters wide that appeared at the foot of Yufu Mountain.

The clear river water slowly flowed past the foot of the Yufu Mountain and flowed around it.

The Man-eating Vine curiously stuck out a few leaves and even moved towards the river. The flying ants seemed to have sensed that there was an additional river in the domain.

There were also ants that flew above the river. It seemed that they were still very curious about this additional river, but they were more delighted.

Li Yuanqing was also very happy. If he had a water source, food was dispensable to him. He could use the remaining energy to figure out the situation in the catacombs. It would be best if he could block the loopholes in this catacombs and the human world.

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Li Yuanqing felt something trembling. It was the mirror-like thing that Qin Feng had given him back then. He opened it and was surprised to find that someone seemed to be talking inside. Li Yuanqing could hear everything clearly.

It was a weak voice shouting.

“Is this the Catacombs? Who can tell me how to find water to drink here? I’m poisoned. Who can save me? Who can save me? I can give him a country in the human world…”

Li Yuanqing looked at the person with number 00008 and thought that he probably couldn’t find any food. He mentioned the human world and the country. Could it be that he came from the human world like him? Or could it be that there were many exits in the catacombs, and other places in the human world could also come here? However, was there no water source here?

And this stone that looked like a mouthpiece could actually hear other people’s voices. This catacomb was quite mysterious.

Back when Qin Feng obtained these stones, they were brought out by those demons. Similarly, others would definitely be able to see them.

Li Yuanqing guessed in his heart and simply stared at the spirit stone. Soon, he heard the voice again. The number on it was 00010.

“If you weren’t a Human God, your chances of survival in the catacombs would be too small. Not only would it be difficult to find a clean water source here, but it would also be difficult to find food. However, someone is lucky. As long as they can find a water source or a wooden house to protect themselves, they can survive in the night. Otherwise, you will also die of thirst or be strangled by those terrifying things in the darkness even if you won’t be poisoned…”

This person with the number 00010 seemed to know more about the Catacombs. Behind him, many people were also speaking.

“The Catacombs, how did it become like this? Can you hear me? It’s too dangerous here. I want to go back, I want to go back!”

“No wonder those demons want to go to the human world. This place is too nasty. There’s nothing to eat or drink. I’m injured and attacked by a group of demons. I should look for a hiding place.”

“I just realized that there’s a shortage of food here. However, food isn’t a big problem for Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivators or above. We can abstain from eating, but we’ll die of thirst without water. I suspect that we won’t even be able to drink dew in this damn place. Also, the night here is twice as long as the day. Moreover, those demons and terrifying things are even stronger. We will become weak at night. We have to live on…”

Li Yuanqing kept listening to the voice transmission. The more he listened, the more shocked he became. This catacomb was completely different from what he had originally thought.

He originally thought that he was the only one who had come to the catacombs. He did not expect that there were many people who had entered the catacombs like him. Moreover, it was very likely that some demons also had this voice transmission device.

In other words, if those demons wanted to kill them, they might be able to find them with this. Moreover, Li Yuanqing had obtained a lot of information from the words of these people.

The catacombs lacked food and water. Furthermore, the time of day and night was different. If the day was eight hours, then the night would be sixteen hours.

Furthermore, at night, the power of demons would be stronger and the cultivation of human martial artists would decrease. That was not all. The key was that other than demons, there were other terrifying things at night.

Safety was the most important thing here.

The cautious Li Yuanqing did not say anything. He only analyzed the information he had obtained in his mind and immediately made a decision. He was not worried about the water source, nor was he afraid of food. But what would the night in the catacombs look like?

Originally, he had planned to find a random place to rest and continue exploring the catacombs. Now, it seemed like he had to quickly find a relatively safe place to hide and observe the night in the catacombs.

After all, this place was completely different from the Northern Kingdom.

From the tone of some people in the voice transmission, they might be similar to the ancestors of some countries or even have their own puppet countries. But even so, it was still impossible when they reached the catacombs. It was also because of the water source that he almost died from poison. This was very terrifying.

Li Yuanqing looked up at the sky. The sky was still gray, but it was darker than when he first arrived. Thinking of what he had just heard, he quickly started searching around.

Li Yuanqing had to find a place to stay before the sky turned dark. At the very least, he had to find a relatively safe place. Otherwise, even if he was in the Spirit Transformation realm, it would be too risky for him to be alone in this catacomb.

The sky seemed to have darkened a lot more.

Li Yuanqing was a little frustrated. He thought that just now, he had been searching for a location within a ten-mile radius. Not only did he not find the safe place he wanted,

Moreover, he also discovered a strange creature in the catacombs. That creature looked like an ugly dog, but it landed on two feet and bared its fangs at him. He tried to use the Demon Slayer Sword, but he realized that the Demon Slayer Sword could not pierce through its fur.

This made Li Yuanqing’s heart ring with alarm. In the end, he had to take out more than a hundred Demon Slayer Swords to scare that small thing away.

It was still daytime, and that thing didn’t look scary. If it was really night time, according to what they said on the voice transmission, if he hadn’t found a place to hide, he might not have survived the night.
