Chapter 423: Chapter 283 Spirit Talisman Warrior

Outside the Forbidden Land, few people remained.

Even the Lord of the Prefecture personally led a group to explore the Forbidden Land.

As night gradually fell.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master, accompanied by dozens of elite troops, took the lead in entering the Forbidden Land.

Lin Yan, Mr. Lu, Lin Lei, Lv Tang, Little White Ape and others stayed back, entering the Forbidden Land last.

At this moment, watching their disappearing figures, the people of East Mountain Prefecture who were left behind to respond and clean up all bowed in worship.

Cheng Li, the commanding officer, took a deep breath, finally stood up, and said in a deep voice, "According to the original plan, scatter into the various Pure Lands, return tomorrow, go back to Prefecture City, and report what has happened here!"

"Yuan Lao will carry twenty-four Cavalry members to stay here. At night, they will take shelter in the Forbidden Land, and at dawn, they will return to this place, always ready to provide assistance."

"After seven days, no matter what happens in the Forbidden Land, all will return to Prefecture City."

"The new Lord of the Prefecture will come here in ten days to clean up!"

——

Within the Forbidden Land.

The passageways were twisted and tortuous, extremely dark.

Lin Yan and others were at the end of the team.

What surprised Lin Yan was that this Master Fu Zhong actually chose to enter the Forbidden Land with them.

"Master, there is no need to be so surprised. If someone with such boundless prospects as you is willing to enter this dangerous Forbidden Land, what have I to fear?"

Master Fu Zhong, dressed in white, had already drawn his sword, smiling as he said, "Although the people of the Holy Land live without worry for food and clothing, practicing superior Magic Methods, many are proud and noble... but not all of them are shameless cowards who only enjoy luxury and fear death!"

He looked at Lin Yan and slowly said, "Over the years, many Martial Artists who have left the Holy Land have fought and bled to death for the Human Clan of the Three Prefectures!"

"Good."

Lin Yan, holding the treasure saber that illuminated the night in his hand, looked seriously at the other man and slowly said, "Master Fu, I underestimated you before!"

"Master, you are too kind!"

Master Fu Zhong laughed heartily as he walked forward, saying, "The road ahead is still long! East Mountain Prefecture has only explored the outskirts so far, and the interior remains unclear. As we continue on this path, many more will die... I, Fu Zhong, am willing to take the lead, to uphold the honor of the Holy Land!"

Meanwhile, at the forefront.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master was leading the way.

Along the way, he saw many of the people previously sent in already lying dead on the ground, their blood soaking into the soil.

There were also some mummified corpses that appeared to have been dead for a long time.

The flesh was still there, but in this cold Boundary, it had completely dried out.

In the past sixty years, East Mountain Prefecture had explored the Forbidden Land more than twenty times.

These mummified bones belonged to the elite troops of the Human Clan who were ordered to explore the Forbidden Land a long time ago.

"Keep moving!"

The East Mountain Prefecture Master withdrew his gaze, a trace of sorrow deepening in his eyes.

If they were in the outside world, he would surely have arranged for the remains of these righteous warriors of the Human Clan to be properly cared for.

But within the Forbidden Land, there was no room for him to do more.

He then proceeded forward.

Lin Yan and the others following behind also saw these skeletons, all heavy-hearted.

Mr. Lu, however, appeared as usual, only flipping through the booklet in his hand.

This was the information on all the explorations of the Forbidden Land by East Mountain Prefecture over the last sixty years that the East Mountain Prefecture Master had given to him.

They followed the direction left by these skeletons and walked over one thousand steps.

"Within this Forbidden Land, the pathways are complex and winding, every divergent road should have a ’Guardian’!"

Mr. Lu, looking at the booklet in his hand, said, "But according to East Mountain Prefecture’s more than twenty explorations, these Guardians don’t seem to have longevity..."

These guards in the Forbidden Land had lain dormant for a long time.

Once awakened, they would slaughter those who intruded.

But afterwards, they would completely dissipate.

Lin Lei, hearing this, said in a low voice, "They don’t seem to be living guards, more like some sort of trap mechanism?"

"More or less, like a trap that triggers once someone steps on it, causing death there. But if someone breaks the trap, then it’s no longer useful," Mr. Lu slowly said.

Lu Tang said in realization, "So each intersection hides an arrow, and if someone comes by, they’ll be shot... but once the arrow is fired, the intersection is safe?"

"It seems like some kind of Spirit Talisman technique."

Master Fu Zhong couldn’t help but say in a low voice, "In the Holy Land, there’s a high-tier Spirit Talisman that even ordinary people can use. If they sprinkle it with blood from the tip of their tongue, it can transform into a Spirit Talisman Warrior comparable to a robust Martial Artist! But it only lasts for a quarter of an hour, then the Spirit Talisman burns out, and the warrior vanishes!"

Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed, a look of surprise on his face as he turned to Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "I’ve also heard of the Spirit Talisman Warrior from the Holy Land, a Magic Method said to be derived from a Forbidden Land in Qifeng Prefecture."

"The origin traces back to the era of the Ancient Old Gods, but thousands of years ago, New Gods like Lord Qingling improved it."

"Now in the Holy Land, this kind of Spirit Talisman Warrior can only be made by those within the Refining God Realm."

"It’s said to be cumbersome to produce, requiring a lot of materials, but the highest-tier Spirit Talisman Warrior is currently only comparable to the Refining Essence Realm."

"And the ones that ordinary people can deploy with a drop of blood from their tongue is only on the level of a robust Martial Artist."

As he said this, Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "A Refining God-tier creation, consuming a great deal of materials, spending a lot of time, for a robust Martial Artist that only lasts a quarter hour, is too inefficient. That’s why the Spirit Talisman Warrior hasn’t been widely used in the different cities."

Hearing this, Fu Zhong showed a pondering look, saying, "I always felt it should be the Spirit Talisman Warrior, but this Forbidden Land is ancient... What kind of Spirit Talisman could last thousands of years?"
