This Simplification Is Too Outrageous

"One more!"

Qiao Yuan counted the corpses, and now the Feng family genius is Feng Sha!

The family should be neat and tidy!

Judging from the conversations overheard before, Feng Sha should be in the cannibal lake location.

Just drop by to check it out!

Without stopping too much, Qiao Yuan walked towards the target, ignoring the awakened ones not far away.

...

It was getting dark.

When Qiao Yuan appeared at the scene, he was really surprised.

As the two strangest locations in the secret realm, this lake has always attracted a lot of attention.

Although I haven't been here in person, I have heard a large number of awakened people talking about this lake.

It's just now... there's no water left!

At first glance, it was full of dark, dry and cracked soil, full of a stench and a disgusting rotten smell, and some of the mud was mixed with many corpses. It seemed that it should be the Awakened who died here before.

Go all the way, that's all!

Soon Qiao Yuan's eyes were attracted by a black spot not far away.

Taking a closer look, where is the black spot, it is clearly a black hole with a diameter of about ten meters!

The cold fog has been hovering above it, and the silence in the black hole is a little scary.

After observing for a long time, Qiao Yuan came to a conclusion.

There should be something similar to a meteorite that fell from the sky, fell into the lake, evaporated the water in it, and then formed such a giant crater.

But it has been fine before, why is there an abnormality suddenly?

who did it?

It wasn't that Qiao Yuan looked down on the Awakeners here, but the strongest among them were only the fifth-order Awakeners.

The only thing that can change the secret realm is perhaps the white predecessor whose strength is unknown and is suspected to be seventh-order.

After thinking for a while, Qiao Yuan decided to jump down to have a look.

...

This is an underground world!

The rocks are jagged, the mountain peaks are steep... A black mist shrouded it, and the air was filled with suffocating coldness and humidity.

That is a feeling that ordinary people will feel ice in their lungs after taking one more breath!

Staying here for a long time can easily lead to a suffocating claustrophobia.

It didn't take long for Qiao Yuan to finally see a familiar Awakener.

Informed sources!

At this moment, the other party is wandering in the same place, looking like a ghost hitting the wall, as if he is thinking about something.

When Qiao Yuan discovered the other party, the other party also discovered himself.

"Qiao Yuan!" The other party was obviously surprised.

Then he thought of something and quickly said: "You were also attracted by the mutation in the sky?"

Qiao Yuan stepped forward to say hello, and then showed a puzzled expression.

"What mutation?"

"You do not know?"

With the explanation of insiders, Qiao Yuan understood what happened to him.

There was a mutation in the secret realm, and 99% of people went to the Lost Forest to find the spiritual fruit, but there were still 1% of people who noticed the mutation in the sky, and something fell in the direction of the lake.

And he has always suspected that there is a problem with the Spirit Fruit, so the temptation of the Spirit Fruit news is not as great as the fall of things in the sky, so he came to the lake.

...

After some exchanges, Qiao Yuan learned the reason why people in the know stopped moving forward.

He found that the concentration of aura here is very low!

Not the average low, but lower than the real world!

If the concentration of the external spiritual energy is compared to one, then the periphery of the secret realm is at least twice as high, and the Sifang City inside the secret realm can reach four times or more!

But here, it's only 0.5 at most.

This abnormality made him dare not move forward and fell into hesitation.

"Could it be that there are too many awakeners entering the secret realm this time?" Qiao Yuan frowned and raised his own opinion.

After pondering for a while, the insider shook his head and answered Qiao Yuan's question.

"But what about the high concentration in the outside world?"

"If it is caused by too many awakeners, it will also be a gradual process of decreasing, and it will not be so abrupt!"

"There must be something wrong with the source of the spiritual well!"

...

When the two were analyzing the problem, there was a sudden burst of explosions in the distance.

Boom!

The deafening explosion sounded wave after wave!

"Why is there an explosion here?"

The two looked at each other and looked over there in unison.

The dark smog in the distance was being violently stirred by an explosive air wave, spreading rapidly around, making the clothes of the two of them rattle.

The sound of the explosion was getting louder and louder, like thunder, and it kept reverberating in my ears.

"That's... someone is fighting!" said the insider in surprise.

In the black haze, a mass of white light was constantly flashing, spinning and tearing frantically, as if to shred the black haze.

It was too far apart for Qiao Yuan and the two to see clearly, but hearing this momentum was definitely not something that ordinary awakened people could have caused.

Vaguely, Qiao Yuan seemed to see a familiar figure in the black haze.

It's the white senior!

Who is he fighting?

If he can fight with Senior White, he must be an Awakener of the same rank.

...

The momentum came and went quickly, and soon there was no movement, and the surroundings returned to the previous calm.

It's just that after this calm, it's a bit more depressed!

After the two discussed the direction, they decided to go together.

All the way to the center of the battle, the closer you get to Qiao Yuan, the more frightened you are.

There are traces of damage from the battle just now, the peaks collapsed, and the rubble was everywhere.

There are also a few broken Awakened corpses among them!

These fourth-order awakeners were all affected by this battle.

Qiao Yuan and the two quickly explored the underground world, and finally arrived at their destination. After confirming that the two sides of the previous battle were no longer here, they approached.

There is actually a palace in the underground world!

However, perhaps because of the battle just now, the palace in front of him looked particularly dilapidated and gloomy.

There are gravel and rubble everywhere, as well as incomplete walls and bronze objects with rust spots, full of the desolation of the years.

When I came to the door, the bronze door about three inches thick in front of me had become tattered.

Boom!

With a slight push, the bronze door collapsed suddenly!

After the smoke cleared, Qiao Yuan looked inside.

The darkness inside could not block Qiao Yuan's sight, and everything he saw was desolate and dead.

But... Qiao Yuan saw the well in the middle with just one glance.

Familiar Lingjing!

"It's Lingjing!" The insider behind him said slightly surprised.

...

Unlike the stone well in his secret realm, this well is made of bronze ware as a whole and looks a bit old.

This spiritual well was found like this?

Why is there no gain deep inside?

Qiao Yuan took the first step across the gate!

In an instant, I felt a sudden drop in temperature, and a biting coldness jumped up from the soles of my feet.

At this temperature, the Awakened below Tier 4 will surely die!

"Here... there is no spiritual energy!" The voice of the insider suddenly sounded.

"What?" Qiao Yuan frowned.

"There is no spiritual energy here, not at all!" The insider's expression was moved and unbelievable, and then he quickly said something as if he had thought of it.

"The concentration of spiritual energy in the secret is high and low. Even if there is an abnormality somewhere, the concentration of spiritual energy is lower than that of the outside world, it is not impossible!"

"But if there is a place without spiritual energy in the secret territory, and it is still near the source of the spiritual well, it can only prove one thing!"

"This secret realm is heading for death!"

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yuan raised his brows, and he remembered the secret realm where the alien spirit of the King of Hell was.

Death Secret!

The Tomb of the Awakened!

In it, every second the Awakened stayed, the strength in the body would be weakened by one point.

And here... is actually the secret realm of death.

Quickly arriving in front of the spiritual well, Qiao Yuan looked down, and sure enough... there was no spiritual liquid in it!

This spiritual well is dry!

...

The insider behind him gritted his teeth and walked over, looked at Lingjing repeatedly, and finally said, "I think I know what's going on!"

"Someone must have used some means to cause the secret realm to mutate and complete the explosion of spiritual energy. This is why this small secret realm has such a high concentration of spiritual energy outside!"

"In this way, the problem of Lingguo can also be explained. At the cost of the complete withering of the spiritual well, this secret realm is made into a one-time secret realm."

Qiao Yuan thought about it and felt that it was quite reasonable, but there were still many doubts.

People familiar with the matter do not know that the source of the spiritual fruit is related to the seed. Even if the spiritual energy explodes, causing the concentration of spiritual energy to rise in a short period of time, why is the way that the spiritual fruit appears different from the normal birth method?

Awakeners are needed here to become seeds!

unless……

An insider added: "I think about it and there is only one thing that can be done."

Having said this, the two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Weird thing!"

It is impossible to affect a secret realm by the power of the awakened person alone, at least the two of them have never heard of it.

But if there is the influence of strange things, it will be much normal!

...

Soon the two discovered another situation.

Not far from this dry spiritual well, a corpse was found beside a broken bronze pillar.

Wearing a yellow Taoist robe, his face was blue and black like poison, and he looked like an awakened Taoist priest.

What does he have to do with the murderer who caused the spiritual well to wither?

A mental scan.

In his pocket, Qiao Yuan found a very interesting thing, a box related to his scabbard.

It is also a material that blocks strange things.

Reaching out his hand, he took out a small square-shaped tin box. Just as Qiao Yuan was about to open it, he was stopped by someone in the know.

"Don't use violence!"

"let me see!"

After taking the tin box, the insider watched it repeatedly, and finally seemed to have determined something, and took a sigh of relief.

"This is a special secret box made by the Security Bureau. It looks like an ordinary iron box, but as long as someone forcibly opens it, it will explode!"

"It's not very powerful, but it's enough to destroy what's inside!"

"This kind of box is usually carried by some awakened people who perform classified tasks. It seems that... this Taoist awakened person is performing a classified task and finally died here accidentally. There must be important information in the box!"

Qiao Yuan: "Can you open it?"

In the dim palace, the insider pushed his eyes and showed a smile.

"Except for the city director of the Security Bureau, very little is known about this kind of thing, and I happen to know how to open it!"

"But this way of opening is leaked, I will go in and drink tea!"

Qiao Yuan nodded, then turned his back to the insider with interest.

The insider kept away from Qiao Yuan and came to a corner to start the operation.

...

Qiao Yuan: "..."

Do you need to be so defensive about yourself?

What about the basic principle of trust between people?

Qiao Yuan shook his head, then turned on a mental scan to capture every move of people who knew him.

Then... he clearly saw the whole process of cracking.

Really complicated!

The origin of this insider is quite mysterious, despite the fact that the two of them are doing well in the secret realm, but so far, I don't know his real name.

Like the rookie king of the Hunter Alliance, he was only called by his nickname, and his real name was always hidden.

I also tried to find out through the security bureau, but the result was secrecy.

It's like knowing the name will make an accident!

The actions of this insider today made Qiao Yuan confirm that his identity must be related to the Security Bureau, otherwise the general public would not know this kind of secret.

...

"Forgive me, I promised the person who taught me not to reveal it."

"it's good now!"

The insider came over with the box and took out another small box from the inside.

It was the box that blocked Qiao Yuan's mental power investigation.

Opening the second box, a letter appeared.

"I am incompetent, I am ashamed of the entrustment of the headquarters, and I was injured by the people in the laboratory with strange things. There is not much time..."

There are not many words, but after looking at it, the expressions of the insiders are instantly unpredictable, and one of their hands can't help but start to tremble.

"Qiao... Qiao Yuan, we seem to have a big event, we have to get out of here quickly!"

"look……"

This time, his voice began to tremble.

Qiao Yuan glanced curiously, and his brows jumped wildly!

...

In the letter, the Taoist-looking Awakened is carrying out a secret operation, the purpose of which is to track a director of the laboratory!

Qiao Yuanduan had lost quite a few laboratory strongholds, so he was relatively clear about the basic structure of the laboratory.

At the bottom is the [Experimenter] who runs a secret base in the city.

In addition to the experimenter, there is also an observer who is responsible for materials, observation, camouflage... and other aspects.

Observers are not necessarily the core people within the experimenter, they may be awakened ones who come here by threats, bribes, and refugees.

The two complement each other. Basically, as long as these two are found, it can be announced that a laboratory base will be removed.

Above these experimenters, the one with a higher status is the Awakener known as the "Director".

Multiple experimenters led by these directors!

The number of experimenters under a director is uncertain, and the Security Bureau currently does not know how many "directors" there are in the laboratory

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the leader of these experimenters, that is, the director, is at least in the sixth rank!

The seventh order is not without it!

...

The owner of the letter, that is, this Taoist priest, accepted the entrustment of the headquarters, secretly sneaked into the laboratory, and approached one of the directors of the laboratory step by step.

As long as you get important information, you can catch it all at once!

The loss of a few bases in the laboratory is a small matter, and it can be cultivated and replenished at any time, but if one director is lost, it will be a big deal.

In the process of tracking, the two sides inadvertently came to Sifang City through a boat on the Liusha River and were accidentally inhaled.

Then the Taoist priest discovered the director's secret and was tragically silenced.

And this secret is related to promotion to the seventh rank!

Awakeneds below the fourth rank need to break through with elixir or a substitute for elixir - real spiritual fruit.

Although these things are few in resources, they are circulated in the market, but the things that break through to the seventh rank can only be found in the Great Secret Realm, and the raw materials are scarce, and the only Great Secret Realm that has appeared at present is also in the hands of the Security Bureau.

Neither the laboratory nor the Hunter League!

The targeted director decided to take a very risky approach to promotion.

Use strange things to complete the promotion!

Completely fused with weird things!

...

Ordinary awakened people who use strange things will be subtly affected, let alone fully integrated.

Are such awakened people still human?

After the Taoist failed to stop it, he wrote the information about the strange thing and the conspiracy of the laboratory director before he died.

The director polluted the spiritual well of the secret realm with strange things, prompting it to complete the explosion, attracting many awakened people to come.

Invisible strangeness, black smoke, spiritual fruit, hawkers... These are all caused by strange things.

Strange things affect everything here, so that when the seeds are buried, spiritual fruits will grow.

It creates invisible tricks and affects hawkers!

In the last sentence of the letter, the most important role of this strange thing was clearly written.

[The biggest effect of this weird thing is pollution! It can pollute the aura, and the life and death of any awakened person who absorbs the spiritual energy in the secret will be controlled! Remember! Remember! 】

...

"It's over, it's a big deal!" The insiders here are desperate.

He thought that there was a problem with the spirit fruit, so he didn't eat it. He also thought that there was a problem with the peddler. He didn't kill any of them, so he was afraid of being surrounded by black smoke.

But he never imagined that there was a problem with this spiritual energy!

No Awakened person will refuse to inhale Reiki, and no one will doubt Reiki, because such a thing has never happened.

But now... those peddlers, those unseen tricks, those spiritual fruits... these are all trivialities.

The real lore has always been aura!

After reading this letter, Qiao Yuan was also frightened.

Although hundreds of awakened people have died after the massacre of the Feng family, a large number of awakened people have come to this secret realm before this.

Sifang City can come and go freely, not all awakeners are always in Sifang City!

Many awakened people left Qin City after staying for a few days to cultivate.

In this way, the influence of this person behind the scenes is not only to destroy a secret realm, but also to have a bigger plan!

Could this matter have anything to do with the Feng family?
