Chapter 689: Tian Gu Forbidden Territory (2)

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Wu Daotian, as expected, obtained one of the hundred thousand slots. After all, his strength was right there; if he could not win, he might as well be expelled from the Wu Family.

After obtaining the slot, Wu Daotian met up with Wu Zhene to discuss how they would regroup after entering the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory. Since their relationship was still unknown to others, Wu Zhene did not plan on letting anyone find out to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Upon entering the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory, one would be randomly teleported to any location within it. After some thought, Wu Zhene came up with a solution.

"What? Brother, you want me to help you find Tian Jin Liquid and then regroup with you after I find it?"

Hearing Wu Zhene's words, a look of surprise appeared on Wu Daotian's face. He clearly had not expected Wu Zhene to entrust such a difficult task to him.

Facing his own family, Wu Zhene did not hide anything and directly took out the ancient jade of devouring taboo.

The moment he saw the ancient jade of devouring taboo, Wu Daotian's breath hitched, and he spoke in utter shock, "This aura is terrifying; it is a Rank 17 forbidden tool!"

Over the years, Wu Daotian had seen many things, so with just one look, he could see the terrifying nature of the ancient jade of devouring taboo.

Hearing this, Wu Zhene nodded. "Indeed. This is a Rank 17 forbidden tool I obtained by chance, and it is currently in a damaged state. If it can be repaired, its power will definitely not be inferior to a Rank 18 forbidden tool!"

"And Tian Jin Liquid is one of the Materials needed to repair the ancient jade of devouring taboo!"

After saying that, Wu Zhene reached out and sent the information regarding the Tian Jin Liquid into Wu Daotian's mind.

Seeing this, Wu Daotian's eyes could not hide his excitement as he hurriedly said, "Brother, do not worry. If I find the Tian Jin Liquid, I will definitely find a way to get it for you!"

"Mm. However, although the Tian Jin Liquid is important, you must also be careful. Never let yourself fall into danger."

Wu Zhene's tone was serious as he emphasized.

Wu Daotian naturally agreed wholeheartedly; he understood what was more important.

Just then, a vibration came from outside. Wu Zhene and Wu Daotian looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement. Such a commotion only meant one thing: the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory was about to open.

Seeing this, the two did not linger and immediately rushed outside.

When they arrived outside, they saw the Gate of the Forbidden Territory standing in the sky had already opened. Countless forbidden beings were rushing toward the Gate of the Forbidden Territory from all directions. Of course, there were many forbidden beings without slots who intended to fish in troubled waters and sneak into the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory amidst the chaos, but they could not escape the detection of the powerful forbidden experts.

With a wave of a hand, hundreds of forbidden beings trying to sneak into the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory were killed. This action effectively deterred the other forbidden beings who wanted to enter amidst the chaos.

Wu Zhene and Wu Daotian entered the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory smoothly.

Following a wave of intense dizziness, by the time Wu Zhene and the others regained their senses, they had already entered the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory.

After entering the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory, Wu Zhene extended his Divine Sense to observe his surroundings. However, his expression quickly turned sour.

After cursing under his breath, Wu Zhene suddenly bolted toward the northwest. The next second, a sky-blotting swarm of Forbidden Beasts rushed toward him from the distance. These Forbidden Beasts had strange, twisted horns on their heads—some had one, some had two—and their appearance was extremely similar to ants from the Divine Realm.

With just one glance, Wu Zhene recognized them. These Forbidden Beasts were the famous Forbidden Devouring Ants. Speaking of Forbidden Devouring Ants, no one in the entire Forbidden Realm was unaware of their fearsome reputation. They could be said to be the Forbidden Beasts that forbidden beings least wanted to encounter in the same Realm, because seeing one forbidden Devouring Ant meant there were at least ten thousand more nearby.

Furthermore, because of their fearless and savage nature, forbidden beings of the same Realm or even one or two minor levels higher would choose to run without hesitation upon encountering them. After all, being surrounded by Forbidden Devouring Ants meant certain death.

However, although the Forbidden Devouring Ants were terrifying, their weakness was that their speed was not very fast. As long as they were detected in advance, one could avoid them.

Thus, having detected the Forbidden Devouring Ants early, Wu Zhene escaped at his fastest speed to a place where they could not catch up.

After stopping, Wu Zhene did not distance himself further. Instead, he turned back toward the direction of the Forbidden Devouring Ants with deep eyes and a thoughtful look. He was never one to take a loss lying down; now that he had been targeted by the Forbidden Devouring Ants, he naturally wanted to retaliate.

Although he had run at full speed upon sensing them, he could actually sense that the true Realm of that group of Forbidden Devouring Ants was not very strong. The strongest was only at Rank 9 Perfection. He had only retreated because of their numerical advantage.

After temporarily resolving the crisis of the Forbidden Devouring Ants, Wu Zhene planned to find a way to deal with that group of Forbidden Devouring Ants. After all, that was a large swarm of Rank 9 Forbidden Devouring Ants. If he could absorb them all, he would likely be able to Breakthrough to Rank 9 Perfection or even Rank 10 in one go.

Wu Zhene was a man of action. Once he had a plan, he began to prepare for the operation to annihilate the Forbidden Devouring Ants.

On the other side, Wu Daotian's luck was much better than Wu Zhene's. Upon entering the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory, he fell into a massive mine pit.

"This is… Nether Cold Forbidden Iron!"

Looking at the massive pit before him, Wu Daotian's eyes lit up, and he thought with great excitement. Nether Cold Forbidden Iron was an excellent material for forging tools. It could be said that it was used in the forging of even some Rank 17 or 18 forbidden tools.

So, with almost no hesitation, Wu Daotian waved his hand and collected all the Nether Cold Forbidden Iron from the pit into his Storage Ring. After all, even if he could not use it himself, he could sell it at a chamber of commerce in the Forbidden Realm and buy the resources he needed to Cultivate. Surely this much Nether Cold Forbidden Iron would be enough to buy resources to help him Cultivate to Rank 13 or even Rank 14.

However, the second after he put all the Nether Cold Forbidden Iron into his Storage Ring, Wu Daotian sensed something, and his expression changed drastically!
