Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 147 The Castle in the Core Area

The core area of ​​the boundary within a boundary is a beautiful grassland.

The ground was covered with strange, low-lying flowers and grasses, all about ten centimeters tall, and very flat, as if someone was doing the work of a "gardener" on this plain every day.

But who would be so bored as to do something like that?

This grassland is quite large.

Its area may be dozens of times larger than any other grassland on Earth.

As Luo Xia and his group approached, they saw corpses everywhere—some decapitated, some with their intestines ripped out, and some with half their bodies missing—lying on the ground.

"My God, how many people have died?"

The further you walk, the less place there is to put your feet.

Corpses were everywhere.

The stories and historical records of rivers of blood and mountains of corpses were now unfolding before Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

"This is the core area, the place with the most cosmic crystals, and naturally, the place where the competition is fiercest."

Looking at the corpses everywhere, Luo Xia seemed to see a bloody future. People die for wealth, birds die for food; this principle applies to both Earth and the vast universe.

"Once those powerful organizations' adventurers come in again, this land will probably be stained with blood."

Luo Xia said solemnly.

The five of them proceeded cautiously.

To be honest, engaging in combat in this core area is a very unwise move, so fights should be avoided as much as possible.

More than an hour later.

Suddenly, Luo Xia led Luo Feng and the others into a large pit filled with corpses and blood. "Someone's coming!"

As soon as he sent out his telepathic message, a streak of light flew past his head.

Only after the adventurers, who had transformed into streaks of light, flew past did Rorschach and his companions jump out of the crater.

"There's movement over there!"

Tie Nanhe suddenly said.

Luo Xia listened carefully for a moment, and the wind from the realm within a realm brought him a faint sound. He pointed in a direction and said, "Over there, it seems like someone is talking."

"Let's go take a look," Luo Feng said.

What exactly is the situation in this core area now?

They had absolutely no idea.

If you can get some information from what others say, that would be good.

After walking for about one or two hundred kilometers, I finally heard the voice of the person speaking clearly.

Many people stood around the speaker.

There were many shadowy figures in the darkness, numbering over a thousand!

The speaker shouted, "Adventurers! A single world is enough to make even cosmic-level powerhouses and domain lords envious. This world within a world is ten times rarer and a hundred times more precious than a single world!"

"Therefore, a large number of universe-level, domain-lord-level, and even great world-lord-level powerhouses have already arrived at the exit of the Thunder World on Canglan Star!"

"Powerful figures have arrived from the two holy lands, four major organizations, and sixteen great families of my Black Dragon Mountain Star Region!"

"The treasure of the realm within a realm is destined to be obtained by our Black Dragon Mountain Star Region!"

"Therefore, all the major organizations and forces had already agreed that any adventurer who wasn't from our Black Dragon Mountain Starfield organization would be immediately arrested once they left the Thunder World!"

The sound from afar was incredibly loud, rolling across the world like thunder, carrying for hundreds of kilometers.

Babata had already received some of the information he was referring to from the virtual universe.

But when they heard that they would be arrested if they went out, Luo Feng and the others looked very grim!

The man continued shouting:

"No matter how many cosmic crystals you obtain, or even any special treasures you acquire, none of them will be of any value! Anyone who isn't a member of our Black Dragon Mountain Star Region organization will be arrested! You're just wasting your time!"

"However, we in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region aren't so heartless. Now, we'll give you a chance!"

"As long as you join our Northern Dragon City and temporarily become external members, we, the Northern Dragon City, guarantee with our honor that you will be protected by us when you leave the Thunder World and return to Canglan Star!"

"With our protection, you won't be arrested! As for the cosmic crystals you obtained before, no one will steal them. All you need to do is join us! Help North Dragon City obtain its treasure!"

Besides this person shouting, people from other organizations were also shouting.

"As long as you join our Hundred Tigers Tower, even just temporarily, you will have no safety concerns. No one will ask you for the cosmic crystals you obtain. Just follow our orders and help us seize the treasure..."

"Just join my Black Cloud Society..."

Various organizations and forces are recruiting people.

These sounds rolled across the grassland, extending an invitation to the idle adventurers lurking in the darkness.

"As expected, Lord Kabu's treasure is far more important than any cosmic crystal," Luo Feng said. "Those idle adventurers, in order to save their lives and protect their cosmic crystals, will definitely side with these organizations. Fortunately, we contacted a domain lord early on, so we can act here in his name."

Luo Xia stroked his chin. "Lord Mingyu seems to be from Three Axe Mountain, but I didn't hear any shouts from Three Axe Mountain. Does that mean they don't need adventurers?"

Babata then said, "It's not that we don't need them, but there are too few people from Three Axe Mountain. Their organization doesn't train new people, so very few Three Axe Mountain people entered the Realm Within a Realm this time, and they can't form a force..."

Luo Feng was taken aback. "Not training newcomers... are they just going to invite those who have already become powerful? That's problematic. Those invited to join Three Axe Mountain probably won't be very loyal to the organization, will they?"

Babata said, "There are advantages and disadvantages. At least the conditions set by Three Axe Mountain are relatively free compared to other organizations and forces."

"So..." Luo Xia looked at Luo Feng and said, "The current situation is very clear. It's just that the factions in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region are fighting over it. Judging from what they said, they should have found the location of the treasure, but because they are restraining each other, they dare not make any rash moves. That's why they need to recruit idle adventurers."

"Big brother, which side should we join?"

He asked.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Feng said, "Actually, it doesn't matter which faction we're in, so let's choose the one closest to us and join it."

"The closest camp to us..." Luo Feng glanced around and said, "The one in Beilong City is the closest."

Luo Feng nodded, "Then join North Dragon City."

After making their decision, the two brothers immediately flew towards the location of North Dragon City.

"Who goes there!" Just as they approached the area where North Dragon City was located, a person flew up and blocked Luo Xia and his group's way.

"We're here to join North Dragon City!"

Luo Feng stepped forward and said.

The man glanced at Luo Xia and his group, then looked at the auxiliary computer on his arm, and nodded, saying, "No problem, you can go inside!"

Luo Feng and his group then joined the North Dragon City's camp.

"You should join that formation."

"it is good."

Following that man's instructions, Luo Xia and his companions joined a formation of fewer than 100 people.

"Brothers, you guys just joined North Dragon City too?"

As soon as Luo Xia and his group entered the formation, a person with horns on his forehead approached them and asked a question.

This person's body shape is similar to that of an Earthling, except that he has a horn on his head.

Luo Feng glanced at the other party's horn before smiling and saying, "Yes, if we don't join these factions now, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave this realm within a realm alive."

The man with the single horn on his forehead nodded. "That's right! But to be honest, if we join these factions, our chances of survival are probably not very high."

Luo Feng's expression shifted, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The man with a single horn on his forehead said, "It's obvious that the formation we joined is far from the core formation of North Dragon City. They are clearly using us as cannon fodder."

"But being cannon fodder is fine too." Halfway through his sentence, the man resigned himself to his fate. "It's better than having no way to survive. If I can make it out, I can live a life without worrying about food or drink."

"From what you're saying, brother... the major factions are about to go to war?" Luo Feng asked again.

"Yes. The location of the treasure has been discovered. Now, once we've recruited enough people, the real battle will begin. Don't be fooled by the calm now; it's just the calm before the storm."

"Has the location of the treasure been determined?"

"Yes, you arrived late, and it's the middle of the night, so you can't see it. Tomorrow, when you look towards the core area of ​​the Realm Within a Realm, you will see a castle on the grassland."

"castle?"

"Yes. There's nothing else in this inner world, but there's a castle in the core area. Everyone thinks that the treasure left behind by Lord Kabu is definitely in that castle."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia and the others nodded to themselves.

Luo Feng sighed, "It seems a major war is really about to break out..."

"Yes," the one-horned man nodded. "We're in the same formation, so we'll have to help each other out when the fighting starts."

"That's natural, that's natural..."

……

The next day, Rorschach and his group indeed saw the castle in the core area. It was a deep blue castle that looked majestic and imposing, like a sapphire that was dazzling to behold!

Luo Feng said, "There is a treasure hidden in this castle, but the factions in the core area dare not make any rash moves, because if they do, they may face attacks from other factions and be plundered by a large number of free adventurers."

Rorschach nodded. "The adventurers from outside are about to come in. If this stalemate continues, the situation will only get worse... Before long, someone might lose patience and make the first move."

Rorschach is right.

On the third day after they joined Beilong City, something happened.

A series of dark shadows flew in from afar, followed by a grand sound that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Black Dragon Mountain, Satchison greets His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

"Greetings, Your Highness the Ninth Prince!"

To the astonishment of Luo Feng and the others, these adventurers who had suddenly appeared knelt before a fair-skinned, handsome young man.

The young man stood in mid-air, his eyes flashing like lightning, and shouted to the members of the five major factions below: "I, Brolin, the Ninth Prince of the Empire, seek to seize the treasures here. Those who stand in my way shall die!"

Silence. Everyone fell silent.

Many people narrowed their eyes as they looked at the Ninth Prince Brolin in mid-air.

"Do you fucking think you're Broly?"

Luo Xia muttered to himself, "Showing off like this can get you killed..."

It was too cold this morning, so I didn't get up. I'll start with 3,000 words and finish the rest tonight.
