245 Medicinal Field
These ghost soldiers had absent-minded eyes and dazed expressions. They were not spiritual bodies, but souls. Perhaps due to erosion, the souls were now green, becoming the ghost soldiers that Qin Chen was seeing now.
There were a total of ten ghost soldiers in the row. They lined up in a straight line, shouting words of killing as they flew toward Qin Chen and the big scorpion.
“Use your Desolate Divine Halberd to hide. Do not provoke them, or you will die,” The big black pot said in a low voice. After hearing it, Qin Chen did not hesitate and immediately followed its instructions. He took out the Desolate Divine Halberd and covered up his and the big scorpion’s auras.
The row of ghost soldiers stopped in front of the two. They looked at the Desolate Divine Halberd, and their dazed eyes actually moved. Then, they ignored Qin Chen and the big scorpion and flew away.
“The Desolate Divine Halberd actually has such a use?” The big scorpion cried out in shock. He had been given quite a fright just now.
Qin Chen was also a little shocked. From the eyes of these ghost soldiers, he could tell that the Desolate Divine Halberd was definitely connected to this battlefield. He asked the big black pot, but the latter obviously did not want to say anything. From the beginning to the end, it remained silent.
Heading in the direction pointed by the big black pot, Qin Chen and the big scorpion came to a medicinal field. There were many divine herbs planted in the field, but there was obviously something wrong with them. Their leaves and roots had turned black.
“Ahem, can these divine herbs still be used? They won’t kill us, right?” The big scorpion gulped. He was drooling over the divine herbs, but he did not dare to lay his hands on them.
The big black pot came out of the storage ring and stood on the black soil. It had a worried look on its face and sighed, “I didn’t expect that even you would be corroded.”
“You?” Qin Chen was confused. This was the first time he had seen the big black pot speak so respectfully, but there was no living creature around. Could it be speaking for these divine herbs?
However, at this moment, a handful of five-colored soil that was emitting holy light suddenly flew out from a pile of black soil and fell into the big black pot.
Seeing the five-colored soil, the big black pot suddenly cried tears of joy, “Hahaha, I knew it. I knew you wouldn’t be so easily eroded. You have indeed prepared a backup plan… ”
Seeing this, Qin Chen and the big scorpion both frowned. They wondered if the big black pot’s brain was broken. To think it was actually crying and laughing at a handful of soil.
The big black pot handed the five-colored soul to Qin Chen and said in a deep voice, “From now on, you must use the great dao spring water to water this five-colored soil. This is a great opportunity for you!”
Taking the five-colored soil, Qin Chen felt a strong divinity. However, he was still a little confused. What exactly was this five-colored soil and what was its relationship with the big black pot?
“Big black pot, what’s the great opportunity you’re talking about?” Qin Chen asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes. Remember, you must use the great dao spring water to water the soil every day. Don’t let me find out that you’re slacking off, or don’t blame me for being impolite,” The big black pot snorted and did not tell Qin Chen what he wanted to know. Then, it bounced away, leading Qin Chen and the big scorpion.
After walking for a short while, the two and the pot arrived at a very tragic battlefield. White bones were littered on the ground. Even though countless years had passed, Qin Chen could still feel how tragic the battle was.
“Brothers, I’m back!” The big black pot mumbled, and the bones around it made creaking sounds as if they were responding to the big black pot. It made Qin Chen and the big scorpion feel a chill down their spine, and goosebumps rose on their bodies.
“I am late. Do you think I can save you?” The big black pot asked, but the bones on the ground did not respond.
Looking at the desolate expression on the big black pot, Qin Chen’s intuition told him that the big black pot must have some great secret. It was very likely that it came from this battlefield.
The big black pot was depressed for a long time. Then, it brought Qin Chen and the big scorpion to a black skeleton and said in a low voice, “I need your help. I want to know where the sword embryo is.”
As soon as it finished speaking, the skeleton actually stood up. Its empty eye sockets suddenly emitted divine light, shining towards the deepest part of the Emperor Burial Abyss. It showed a sword embryo that had not been forged. The sword embryo was transparent and was only as long as an arm. It had not been sharpened, but it gave people great pressure.
“Many thanks!” The big black pot snorted, then led Qin Chen and the big scorpion deeper in.
After walking for a while, the two and the pot were stopped by a black cloud. The black cloud roared with lightning and thunder, containing the extremely terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation. This was the only way to the second layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, but it wasn’t so easy to get through.
“You two carry me over your heads!” The big black pot said. Its body suddenly enlarged and covered Qin Chen and the big scorpion. Then, the two of them carried the pot into the black cloud.
The sound of thunder roared outside, and Qin Chen could hear crackling sounds. However, the big black pot was still safe and sound, without any damage.
After passing through the black lightning, the world suddenly became bright and sunny. This place was actually a medicinal field. There were many divine herbs and God Emperor herbs in the field, as well as herb butterflies flying in the air. It was simply like a paradise.
Qin Chen couldn’t believe his eyes. The difference between this place and the ancient battlefield outside was like Heaven and Earth. It was completely beyond his imagination.
“Kid, now you know why I insisted on you coming in early! If you waited till the second layer appeared, how many of these herbs do you think will be yours?” The big black pot snorted triumphantly.
Qin Chen, on the other hand, put away his shock. He asked the big black pot, “Can I pick all the spiritual herbs here? Is there a trap?”
“Don’t worry, this is just a medicinal field. You’ll be fine even if you pick all the spiritual herbs,” The big black pot said.
As soon as it finished speaking, the big scorpion at the side instantly became excited. He took out a storage ring and picked the spiritual herbs.
The medicinal field was huge. The two had only harvested half of the medicinal field after an hour. To speed up the process and collect all the spiritual herbs before the whole place resurfaced in the outside world, they did not hesitate to uproot the spiritual herbs. Even so, it took them another hour to collect all the spiritual herbs in the entire medicinal field.
After collecting the spiritual herbs, Qin Chen and the big scorpion headed to the deepest part of the Emperor Burial Abyss, which was the third layer. However, just as they entered the dark clouds that led to the third layer, the dark clouds that enveloped the second layer also completely dispersed.
In the outside world, seeing that the first two layers of the Emperor Burial Abyss had already appeared, many couldn’t hold themselves back any longer. after all, the treasures in the forbidden ground were ownerless, so it was naturally on a first come, first served basis. If they were late, they might not even get a speck of dust.
“You guys just wait! I’ll be leaving first,” Prince Zhan rode on a white cloud and flew toward the Emperor Burial Abyss.
