Martial Master

The two flew swiftly through the underground ruins.

Originally, they thought there would be plenty of spiritual herbs in these underground ruins, but Qin Chen flew around for a long time without seeing a single spiritual herb.

However, it wasn't completely fruitless.

In these underground ruins, various miasmas were also wafting around. After Qin Chen's analysis, these miasmas should be the reason for the changes in the miasma outside.

"So, the miasma in the Black Death Marsh suddenly became terrifying because someone discovered the entrance to these underground ruins, resulting in the miasma from the ruins leaking into the outside Black Death Marsh. The miasmas from both places fused together, creating a new miasma, which caused the original detoxification pill to lose its effect."

"But what about the faint aroma of spiritual herbs earlier?"

What puzzled Qin Chen was the faint aroma of spiritual herbs at the entrance of the underground ruins. The aroma of those spiritual herbs definitely existed, and judging from the scent, they were definitely high-grade spiritual herbs.

However, after entering the underground ruins through the passage, that aroma of spiritual herbs suddenly vanished.

If it were any other martial artist, they might think they had misheard, but Qin Chen was very clear that he had not made a mistake; it was indeed the aroma of spiritual herbs that suddenly disappeared.

"Young Master Chen, there should have been quite a few people here."

As they passed certain areas, the black slave and Qin Chen saw numerous signs of battles, as well as footprints in the Black Death Marsh, indicating that many people had passed through this place before.

"We're a bit late. Even if there are spiritual herbs here, they should have been completely scavenged."

The black slave said gloomily.

"Mm?"

Suddenly, Qin Chen stopped by a messy marshland.

"Young Master Chen, what’s wrong?" The black slave looked over in confusion. Before them was a chaotic marshland with a rather disorderly ground and many footprints, but there wasn't a single person here, nor any spiritual herbs.

The black slave didn't know why Qin Chen had stopped, but Qin Chen's spiritual sense detected a broken hidden restriction that had been attacked. This restriction must have been old and had broken on its own, but even so, ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell.

However, Qin Chen was a master of formations. After his spiritual sense swept over it, he immediately realized that this was a hidden restriction. Judging from the messy tracks outside, Qin Chen was certain that this restriction had been discovered by quite a few people.

"Follow me."

With a low shout, Qin Chen led the black slave into the hidden restriction.

The two immediately entered a completely new place. Upon seeing the scene inside the restriction, both of them were stunned. This place was completely different from the desolate scenery of the Black Death Marsh outside.

What greeted their eyes was a considerable valley filled with lush greenery, giving a pleasing feeling. However, at this moment, the verdant area had been trampled and was in disarray, with nearly a hundred martial artists searching for something in the chaotic valley.

At the entrance of the valley, there were several people guarding. Beside these individuals lay seven or eight corpses, blood flowing everywhere.

But it was clear that these people had not been dead for long and were likely killed by the few fierce martial artists guarding the entrance.

In the air lingered a faint aroma of spiritual herbs.

Qin Chen's heart immediately filled with joy. With his keen insight, he instantly recognized that this place was likely a medicinal field, and it was a high-grade one; otherwise, the aura of the spiritual herbs wouldn't be so rich.

However, looking around, the valley had almost been completely looted, and there were clearly no visible spiritual herbs left, yet over a hundred people were still searching everywhere.

What puzzled Qin Chen was that in this valley, he saw the Yin siblings, whom he had interacted with at the Black Marsh Square before. At this moment, the two were not searching for spiritual herbs but stood not far from the valley, their expressions extremely somber.
