Huo Yuyao led her team into the core area.
Strangely enough, they chose almost the same entry point as Jiang Chen.
However, they soon discovered a problem—there were no monsters.
Contrary to rumors, the core area of the ancient battlefield should be a place teeming with monsters.
Usually, there are monsters everywhere, and it feels like there's a boss every hundred steps.
However, they had been there for almost half a day and hadn't encountered a single monster. Huo Yuyao, walking at the front of the group, frowned and said, "Are there no monsters in the outer areas?"
Qiao Zhixin suggested in a low voice, "How about we take a closer look?" Huo Yuyao nodded, "Yes, let's take a closer look."
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen spent a full five days exploring the core area.
However, the return journey only took a little over a day because he cleared out all the monsters along the way, and no new monsters had spawned yet.
He decided to move along the edge of the core area after leaving it.
Jiang Chen knew that not only humans, but also abyssal demons and dragons were searching for the "Dragon Palace" dungeon.
Moreover, their ability to fly makes them more efficient than humans.
He pondered, "Perhaps we need to kill a batch more before we can get in." The Demon Dragon Palace dungeon is on Hell difficulty and can drop Dragon Crystals, which can awaken talents and are equally attractive to Abyss Demons and Dragons.
Unlike the Chosen Realm, the "Dragon Palace" dungeon does not have the restriction of being able to enter only once in a lifetime; once you find it, you can enter it repeatedly.
Just as Jiang Chen was pondering, some figures appeared in his line of sight.
Jiang Chen immediately became alert.
After a moment, Jiang Chen realized that they were a group of human professionals and lowered his guard slightly.
Huo Yuyao also spotted Jiang Chen immediately.
"Level 33, alone."
"What a joke!"
"How can this be!"
Huo Yuyao's first reaction was disbelief. How could a level 33 professional possibly be here?
Moreover, they came out from the core area.
Could it be that I was randomly teleported in?
Jiang Chen walked very fast, and though it looked far away, he was already in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Chen, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped and looked at Huo Yuyao and the others.
I noticed the Blue Leaf Guild badges on their clothes.
Blue Leaf Guild…
Jiang Chen's gaze swept over them, sensing their presence. "Don't go any deeper; it'll be dangerous."
Jiang Chen's tone was very calm, but to Huo Yuyao, it sounded as if he were saying: You'll die if you go in again.
Huo Yuyao's expression changed slightly, and she was about to retort when she realized that Jiang Chen had already left.
"Who is this person?!" Huo Yuyao's expression was not good at this moment.
This little guy, who's only level 33, is so rude to me, a level 60 great knight.
I really want to catch up with him and teach him a lesson.
With curiosity in her eyes, Qiao Zhixin murmured to herself, "Why did he come to the Ancient Battlefield?"
Not only Qiao Zhixin, but many people in the group were looking in the direction Jiang Chen left.
Upon hearing Qiao Zhixin's words, Huo Yuyao asked, "Zhixin, do you know him?"
Qiao Zhixin said, "His name is Jiang Chen. He was the champion of the level 20 group in the professional competition held a few days ago, and he also broke the record in the challenge competition."
"So it was him." Huo Yuyao had heard of Jiang Chen's name before.
Jiang Chen was incredibly famous at the time, setting a new record in the Challenger Tournament. At only level 27, he single-handedly defeated a team of mages composed of level 50 professionals.
This achievement is unprecedented.
In just a few days, Jiang Chen has jumped from level 27 to level 33.
To outsiders, this upgrade speed is already incredibly fast.
The key is not rank, but strength.
Qiao Zhixin said, "Back then, he already had the strength to surpass a level 50 mage team. He's probably even stronger now, or else..."
Huo Yuyao wasn't stupid; she naturally understood the meaning behind Qiao Zhixin's words.
She has now overturned her previous idea; she thinks that Jiang Chen may have actually entered the core area and then retreated.
Since that's the case, we have to take Jiang Chen's words seriously.
Huo Yuyao thought for a moment, "Let's walk along the edge of the core area."
She didn't want to just give up like that; she wanted to see it for herself before she was satisfied.
They retreated to the edge of the core area, then chose a direction and moved along the edge.
Because of the Blue Leaf Guild, Jiang Chen kindly gave Huo Yuyao and the others some advice.
Given their strength, they would be in great danger if they encountered a group of monsters in the core area.
Staff reductions could occur at any time.
If you encounter a boss, there's a real possibility of a total party wipe.
Jiang Chen was not arrogant, but through his own experience, he could roughly analyze the results.
Moreover, that terrifying BOSS was still flying in the air within the core area, and it was anyone's guess when it would come down to attack. For safety's sake, Jiang Chen ultimately withdrew from the core area.
Cherish life, stay away from the core.
Leaving the smooth, mirror-like ground, Jiang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The core and the center are separated by a thin line, yet they represent two different worlds.
Here, level 60 monsters occasionally appear, posing no threat to Jiang Chen whatsoever.
"I wonder how my sister is doing."
As Jiang Chen moved forward, he would occasionally glance towards the edge of the battlefield.
At this point, 22 days had passed since Jiang Ruo obtained the Origin Rune.
On the edge of the battlefield, Jiang Ruo and the others should be safe from any danger given their combat strength.
However, without seeing it with my own eyes, I sometimes feel a little worried.
Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Occasionally, Jiang Chen would laugh at himself, thinking he was overthinking things. Jiang Ruo's teacher, that god-level expert from the Dragon Clan Academy, would surely have everything arranged.
He could even deduce the whereabouts of the primordial runes; the opponent's methods were far beyond his imagination.
He is at least on par with Hong Jishi and Li Xueru.
boom!
A burst of fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky.
Its brilliance temporarily obscured the eternal, unchanging light of the ancient warrior.
Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat, "A distress signal."
"It's the direction of the core area."
“It’s not far from me, only about 20 kilometers away.”
"It should take about ten minutes to get there."
Jiang Chen disregarded the danger and rushed towards the distress signal without hesitation.
Human professionals will rush to the rescue without hesitation when they see a distress signal.
This is an unspoken rule among human professionals, which everyone has silently followed for countless years.
Many years ago, demons used the humans' distress signals to ambush human professionals.
It caused considerable damage.
This led many people to worry that the distress signal might be a trap.
Later, to prevent such incidents from happening, the distress signal transmitter was changed to an item that required soul binding.
It can only be used by the user, and the transmitter will become ineffective if the user dies.
From then on, distress signals were never false.
Just two days after leaving the core area, Jiang Chen stepped into it again.
With the undead legion clearing the way, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate at all and moved at lightning speed.
boom!
Another distress flare was launched and exploded.
The mirror-like earth in the core area reflects a mesmerizing light.
Vast areas of space were illuminated as bright as day.
"idiot!"
Jiang Chen cursed under his breath.
Launching one missile wasn't enough, they launched a second one. Were they trying to summon the BOSS?
The area where a BOSS operates cannot be small, and flying BOSSes must be incredibly fast.
What if it discovers...
Jiang Chen remained wary of the mysterious flying BOSS.
Bang! The third distress signal exploded.
"madman!"
Jiang Chen cursed again at the same time.
This is going to summon the BOSS!
Within 10 minutes, 10 distress signals exploded in the air.
Ten small suns appeared in the sky and remained there for a long time.
It illuminated a large core area as if it were daytime.
Jiang Chen would curse under his breath at first, but later he got too lazy to curse anymore.
Jiang Chen covered the 20-kilometer distance in just 10 minutes with all his might.
He quickly eliminated all the monsters along the way.
Fortunately, this is the edge of the core area, so the number of monsters is small and they aren't strong. Teams that can enter the core area are definitely not bad; generally speaking, they are capable of handling various situations.
"I wonder what we encountered. Could it be that we ran into a boss?"
Finally, he saw the owner of the distress signal.
"It's them!"
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, slightly surprised.
