Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 265 Extra: Six Days Meteorite Site
The largest meteorite site of the Wu tribe, the name of the Wu tribe literally translates as: meteorite site.

The Tianyun Ruins are located in the central part of the Wu tribe, about 1,300 miles away from Zizhu City.

The Tianyun Ruins almost runs through the Cuiwu Plateau in the southwest of the Wu tribe. The twenty-one regions of the Valley Kingdom and the secret territory of the Lu Kingdom are not comparable to the Tianyun Ruins in size.

The entire Pei army rode lightly and finally arrived at their destination half a month later.

There are mountains one after another, and there is a Mirror Lake on the Cuiwu Plateau. At a glance, the water and sky are both blue.

The geese are flying, the river is blue and the sky is filled with wind.

The air here is thin and the scenery is completely different from that in the East, but the mountains and rivers are different in their own way.

Lei Xirui and the Lei family's group had previously stayed at the East Territory base camp and set out a few days later than them. They chased them all the way and caught up with Pei Nai and his group on the third day after they left Zizhu City.

When Lei Xirui brought them to the entrance of the Meteoric Land, Pei Nai was still shocked when he saw the deep hole in front of him that was wider than a city.

"Is the Land of Falling Skies right under the deep cave?" Pei Nai walked to the side of the giant cave and looked down, then asked.

"This is just the northeast corner entrance of the entire meteorite. There are countless such deep holes inside the meteorite, of varying sizes. We call each of these deep holes a 'nest'. Various nests are connected by horizontal passages. The species growing in each area and nest are different." Lei Xirui explained.

Da Xi'an raised his eyebrows slightly, "This structure is a bit like the vine network layer in the twenty-one domains."

Pei Nai nodded. She felt the same way when she first heard it. "It's just that the Tianyue Land is more complicated and larger."

"With the help of the Wu tribe's army, our Lei family has been exploring here for five years. We have recorded thousands of plants that are not found on land and more than fifty new species of organisms." Lei Xirui took out her thick notebook, which showed the shapes of various plants and organisms, and also marked the known habits and characteristics of the species.

While the army was setting up camp nearby, Lei Xirui handed the book to Pei Nai and asked them to pass it around for reading.

Pei Nai took a quick look and her hands trembled at the ugliness of some of the creatures. She read it roughly but couldn't remember it, so she continued to hand it to Gu Jinheng.

Han Ruize asked Lei Xirui: "How many areas have you explored?"

"The underground area of the Tianyue Ruins is extremely complex and vast, and the area we know about is probably less than one-tenth of it." Lei Xirui said.

Everyone asked Lei Xirui some more questions.

During this process, Gu Jinheng carefully read the Lei family's herbal medicine book, and then handed the book to Ju Liancheng.

"How far is your camp deep inside from here?" Gu Jinheng asked her.

Lei Xirui replied, "It's seven nests away. If nothing goes wrong, we can get there in half a day. Lei Laiweng's medicine storage room is also there."

"If the antidote prepared with the parasitic mycelium of the Piranha Plant in the medicine storage room has been used up, we have to go to the location of the Green-eyed Big-headed Piranha Plant to pick new mycelium. I remember you said that the Green-eyed Piranha Plant in the Tianyue Ruins is in a deeper location?" Pei Nai recalled.

Lei Xirui nodded, "Yes, General Pei, and the production of parasitic mycelium is very small, it may not be available. When the time comes, we can only try our luck."

Pei Nai nodded in understanding, "Then be prepared to go deeper."

She turned to Gu Jinheng, Han Ruize, Da Xian and the others and said, "Tell everyone to bring more food."

"When do we leave?" Han Ruize asked Pei Nai.

Pei Nai looked at the sky and said, "Everyone, take a rest. We will set off in an hour."

Ju Liancheng had finished writing down the contents of the Lei family's book and passed it to Da Xian and the others.

The Pei family army is still setting up the camp, but including Gu Jinheng's silver-armored guards and Da Xian's personal guards, there will only be about forty people on their side who will follow the allied team into the ruins.

The Lei family will have nearly 20 people accompanying them, because they are familiar with the environment, and now that the war has stopped, they have a lot of medicinal plants that need to be moved out for external cultivation. The purpose of the army stationed here is to escort Pei Nai and others. After all, the Wu tribe has just been recovered and the territory is not stable.

Huyan Weizhao originally wanted to stay up there with his daughter.

But Huyan Sangnian said to him, "You have accompanied General Pei to the Twenty-One Realms and the Secret Realm of Lu State. I think if you don't go to this last meteorite site, you may regret it for the rest of your life. I am still alive, and we will have plenty of time to accompany each other in the future. You can go without worry. I am with Grandma Xun and Senior Qu, and we are surrounded by soldiers of the Pei Family Army. It is safe."

Huyan Sangnian has a strong personality, but because of her experiences in the Wu clan temple, her mind is much more mature than other people of her age.

Huyan Weizhao met her gaze and nodded, "Okay, wait for me here, and remember to listen to Grandma Xun's words."

Huyan Sangnian agreed. She had become familiar with everyone these days. She glanced at Senior Qu Baiyi who was not far away and said to her father, "I hope everything goes well for you."

Senior Qu has difficulty walking and is not planning to enter the meteorite area.

He stretched out his hand and asked Gu Jinheng and Lei Xirui to check it again to determine the severity of his current poisoning and whether the amount of antidote was sufficient.

Pei Nai and Han Ruize directed their fellow soldiers to prepare their luggage.

Most of the soldiers accompanying this trip have experience in the Twenty-One Domains or the Secret Realm of Lu State. They all know what is most needed when exploring inside a meteorite, and their actions are very efficient.

After preparing the packages, everyone rested and followed Lei Xirui to the side of the giant nest. They climbed the ropes at the entrance left by the Wu and Lei families and slowly descended.

The entrance cave is connected to the outside world, so there is no even light or water. It is pitch black and bottomless underfoot.

They faded into darkness.

Until Lei Xirui, the team leader, brought everyone to a passage in mid-air, and everyone entered one by one.

The horizontal channel is circular in shape, wider than the connecting channels of the twenty-one domain vine network layers, and has a longer path.

After walking for a distance, they arrived at the second cave.

We have finally entered the interior of the Meteorite Land.

The second cave was much smaller than the one that had just been opened to the outside world. There was some uniformly-colored water here, flowing out from the cracks between the stone walls, gurgling out like a small waterfall.

The uniformly-lit water illuminates the nest, allowing everyone to see the surrounding situation clearly.

Most of the view is bare stone walls, with some plants occasionally growing out of the cracks. The ground underfoot is still unfathomable, but there is no danger.

The Lei family has a fixed zip line that leads directly from the entrance to the passage to the third cave.

Lei Xirui and the others led the way and walked in front.

Pei Nai had just slid to the other side when he saw Da Xi An on the other side of the zipline frowning and sniffing, "Does it smell like gunpowder?"

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he carried an air of majesty that others could not ignore. This aura had become even stronger since he took over the throne of Emperor Qilu.

Ever since the incident at the secret realm of Lu State, everyone has become somewhat sensitive to explosives.

Pei Nai didn't smell anything, but Daxian's five senses were much stronger than others, so he believed he was right.

Lei Xirui was worried that they might misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "It's for defense. There are many monsters in the Land of Skyfall that will chase us. If we encounter an accident, we can ignite the explosives and temporarily close the road to delay the monsters. The amount of explosives in each place is not much, only enough to blow up a small area, and the fire must be ignited nearby, so there will be no danger."
