"Jiang Shaoxu, you found that lake valley?!" Mo Fan asked excitedly.
"At the end of the mountain range lies a vast expanse of valleys, gorges, basins, and fissures, but without a trace of water, and hardly any lakes."
"However, above this large, interconnected basin, black miasma floats. When I sent a hawk to fly over the miasma to scout the situation below, the hawk died instantly—I don't know if it's that place," Eileen said.
Upon hearing Eileen's words, memories flashed through Lin Chen's mind, giving him a sense of certainty. The treasure hidden there must be a battlefield gem, but not from this year's collection; it was from thirty-two years ago.
Lin Chen vaguely remembered that the place was also hiding a monarch-level demon, from which only a mage of the super-rank or above could survive.
"Now that you mention it, I remember. They mentioned there was a natural poison barrier nearby. This must be it," Tony said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Mo Fan urged, and Tony also looked eager to try.
"You stay here and continue earning money for treatment. I only agreed to split the profits 70/30 with you, not to take you with me," Lin Chen said.
Tony wanted to resist, but remembering Lin Chen's strength, he had no choice but to give in.
Having found their target, Lin Chen and his group sped towards their destination.
As they traversed to the very end of the mountain range, they discovered a large, sunken area beneath it, shrouded in a thick, billowing black gas, which from a distance indeed resembled a black lake.
"The terrain here is somewhat complicated, and there's poisonous fog everywhere. Finding that battlefield treasure will be difficult. Not to mention, it will be troublesome for us to even go down there." Mo Fan glanced around, a look of confusion on his face.
"I have a way to sneak in first, and once I'm inside, I'll see how to bring you all in too," Lin Chen said.
Mo Fan and the others, without suspecting anything, nodded in agreement and prepared to meet Lin Chen outside.
Lin Chen first had Eileen and Jiang Shaoxu drive away the nearby eagles, then found a place where the layer of poison gas looked relatively thin, and jumped down directly.
As Lin Chen entered the poisonous fog, a moon-white crack appeared, followed by a black fog that enveloped him and carried him through the fog at great speed to the bottom of the area.
Lin Chen landed on his feet, opened his eyes, and found himself seemingly in a dark, sunless underground cave.
It was enveloped in endless darkness.
"LadyDevimon, now it's your turn to shine. The rest is up to you, but unless absolutely necessary..."
"Don't disturb the demonic rulers here," Lin Chen suddenly said.
"No problem, leave it to me."
In the empty space, a seductive voice drifted out, followed by the dissipation of the black mist, revealing a tall, slender figure.
The queen-like Lady Beast appeared beside Lin Chen.
The demon beast carefully observed its surroundings, and then, as if sensing something, it led Lin Chen in one direction.
Just as Lin Chen was walking under the poisonous fog with the demon beast, Mo Fan and his companions, who were sitting some distance away from the fog, suddenly noticed two men dressed in white robes with gold thread riding flying beasts toward them.
"Assistant referees, what can I do for you?" Jiang Shaoxu asked curiously. Under normal circumstances, unless there is a very dangerous situation, these competition assistants would not appear in front of the trainees.
The two men in white robes embroidered with gold thread, seeing Jiang Shaoxu and the others stop in their tracks, finally relaxed: "Thank goodness your sister didn't go down. This place is too dangerous. You should leave with us quickly."
This is not a place for you.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Jiang Shaoxu and the other three changed instantly.
"Gentlemen, what dangers are there here? One of our companions has already infiltrated beneath the poisonous fog."
Jiang Shaoxu asked anxiously.
"You guys are really too reckless. How could you barge into this place? There are monarch-level demons roaming down here, and many powerful commander-level demons also live down there," an assistant referee said.
After the assistant referee finished speaking, he leaped into the air, preparing to report the situation to the governor, and had another colleague lead Mo Fan and the other three to a safe place temporarily.
However, because he was so focused, he didn't realize for a moment that when he pointed out the danger beneath the poisonous fog, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Jiang Shaoxu all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mo Fan, aren't you worried about Lin Chen? He's a monarch, after all." Eileen asked curiously, watching Mo Fan and the other two obediently leave with the assistant referee.
"If any of us were inside, I wouldn't feel at ease, but Lin Chen is lucky, he definitely won't die," Mo Fan said with absolute certainty.
At the Venice stadium, Governor Fabio had just summoned the top officials of the Chinese team and hadn't even had time to tell them the details when another piece of bad news arrived: Kelly, the nephew of the Hunter King of the Hunter Alliance, had also entered the Poison Mist Lake Valley.
When Han Ji realized where Lin Chen had gone, he almost couldn't help but curse out loud.
For the organizers of the event to make such a basic mistake is simply playing with the lives of the participants.
Fortunately, only Lin Chen went into the bottom of the poisonous fog lake. If Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Jiang Shaoxu had all gone in...
The Chinese team is ready to overturn the table; if something unexpected happens, it would be a complete loss of China's peak strength.
As for Lin Chen alone, based on his performance in the ancient capital, he didn't think anything unexpected would happen, and he might even be able to bring out the treasure from thirty-two years ago.
"This place is terrifying, and the air is so murky." Lin Chen couldn't help but complain as he followed behind the monster. If the monster hadn't broken through the upper layer of poisonous gas to bring some air down for him, Lin Chen felt that even breathing here would be a problem.
"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that one of my skills is also related to poison, it would be really inconvenient to move around here." LadyDevimon led the way while throwing the spreading poisonous mist back to its original place.
"Lin Chen, there seems to be something ahead!" the demon beast suddenly said, then pulled Lin Chen along and quickly headed forward.
"This is a water storage container. It seems we're in the right place. The person who leaked the information to Tony passed by here not long ago," Lin Chen said.
"If you're referring to that group ahead, then we are indeed quite close to them, but they seem to be in danger." LadyBeast sensed what was ahead, her brows furrowing slightly.
After a moment, LadyDevimon spoke again: "They all seem to be dead."
