Upon entering the ruins, Jing Yuan felt a dizzying sensation, and a flash of white light filled his vision.
When everything returned to normal, Jing Yuan found himself in a boundless grassland.
Looking left and right, he couldn't find Lu Li or the others.
Meanwhile, Gu Xiao landed in a forest, and similarly, Yan Lin and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Jing Yuan wasn't too surprised by this situation.
Even before they entered, they knew that due to the passage of time, while the ruins' barrier was still active, many of its nodes had been damaged.
This caused those who entered the ruins to be randomly teleported to any location within them.
However, since it was the entrance barrier itself, they were all teleported to the outer perimeter of the ruins, so there was no need to worry about someone being incredibly lucky and directly teleported to some treasure trove.
"Beep beep."
Just then, a message notification sound came from his smart earring.
"They're all my adopted sons."
Yan Lin: @Jing Yuan, @Ye Tianying, @Xiao Bai, @Liu Zhen, @Gu Xiao, @Lu Li, how is everyone? Is everyone alright?
Although there are no treasure troves in the outer perimeter of the ruins, there are dangers.
Among them, the Cloud Mist Monster is one of the biggest dangers; it's not that their strength only increases the closer you get to the interior of the ruins.
Because Cloud Mist Monsters themselves have no intelligence, only a craving for flesh and blood, they wander freely within the ruins, so encountering high-level Cloud Mist Monsters in the outer perimeter is not uncommon.
Xiao Bai: With our strength, we'll naturally be fine, unless we fall directly into a Commander-level Cloud Mist Monster's nest and get surrounded the moment we enter.
Xiao Bai: But there shouldn't be anyone that unlucky, right?
Ye Tianying: Hard to say, the entry points are all random, maybe someone really will hit the jackpot.
Liu Zhen: When a person is down on their luck, even drinking cold water can get stuck in their teeth.
Jing Yuan: I'm on a grassland, no danger at the moment.
Gu Xiao: No danger.
Lu Li: All well.
Everyone reported their safety in the group chat. Regardless of whether such unlucky people truly existed in the world, at least they weren't that unlucky.
Yan Lin: Oh right, I've been meaning to say, now that Gu Xiao and Lu Li have joined, isn't our current group name a bit unsuitable? We should change it.
Ye Tianying: It's indeed a bit unsuitable now.
Xiao Bai: Change it then, I don't care.
Liu Zhen: I'm fine with anything.
Yan Lin: Haha, then it's settled, but don't worry. Even if the name changes, I won't forget you good sons.
Xiao Bai: Yan Lin tied to a tree and being whipped.jpg
Ye Tianying: Yan Lin tied to a tree and being whipped.jpg
Liu Zhen: Yan Lin tied to a tree and being whipped.jpg
Yan Lin: Holy crap, where did you guys get these memes?
Yan Lin was dumbfounded when he saw the emoji of himself being tied to a tree and severely whipped by his dad in the group chat.
Xiao Bai: Of course, they were taken on the spot.
Xiao Bai: How is it? Perfectly captured, right? The angle is spot on.
Ye Tianying: Xiao Bai sent it to me.
Liu Zhen: Same as above.
Jing Yuan: I have it too.
Jing Yuan: Yan Lin tied to a tree and being whipped.jpg
Yan Lin: Xiao Bai, you f***ing @#￥%%￥#@!!!
Gu Xiao: This, I think I have it too.
Gu Xiao: Yan Lin tied to a tree and being whipped.jpg
Gu Xiao: Jing Yuan sent it to me.
Lu Li: Confused cat.jpg
Lu Li: Should I save it too?
Lu Li: Cat scratching head.jpg
Yan Lin: Ahhhhh!!! Gu Xiao, Lu Li, no! How can you learn from these beasts?
Yan Lin: Xiao Bai, you damned sinner, you scoundrel who defiles pure maidens. When we get out, I'll fight you to the death!!!
Yan Lin: I'm going to directly teleport you into the women's bathhouse.
Xiao Bai: Then I'll use nanobots to broadcast your porn videos all over the city.
Jing Yuan changed the group name to Starfaring Express Family.
Just as the group members were arguing, a message notification suddenly popped up in the chat group.
Ye Tianying: Brother Yuan, why is it called Starfaring Express Family?
After seeing the group notification, the argument in the group also stopped.
Jing Yuan: Don't we need to travel through the stars in our third year? I plan to make our spaceship look like a train then.
Jing Yuan: A train traversing the cosmos would naturally be the Starfaring Express.
Yan Lin: Not bad, we can make the train a bit more luxurious then.
Liu Zhen: We haven't even enrolled yet, and we're already thinking about things for our third year?
Yan Lin: That's called planning ahead.
Xiao Bai: Is that why, even though you're a single dog, you were discussing your future children with me last time?
Yan Lin: Who are you calling a single dog? Do you believe that if I just say the word, the people who want to marry me could encircle Tianyuan City several times over?
Xiao Bai: You're really not afraid of getting sick, are you?
Jing Yuan: Alright, enough chitchat. The training is important; we can talk about anything else when we get back.
Ye Tianying: If you encounter something you can't solve, just send your location in the group.
After closing the chat interface, Jing Yuan turned and walked towards the depths of the ruins.
The few of them had no intention of gathering together. For a group of Commander-level practitioners, gathering together would completely defeat the purpose of training.
The message Ye Tianying sent was mainly directed at Lu Li, after all, among them, only Lu Li was still at the Soldier-level, and only at the early stage of the Soldier-level cultivation.
If she encountered a Commander-level Cloud Mist Monster or people from other aristocratic families, it would be very dangerous.
Behind Jing Yuan, a cloud of mist rose from the grass, and a pair of red glowing eyes stared at Jing Yuan's receding back.
After traveling for about half an hour, Jing Yuan arrived at the edge of a forest. Passing through this forest would lead him to the central part of the ruins.
And some valuable cultivation grounds were located in these areas.
Further in was the core of the ruins, where the gates of the ancient great sects stood.
The inheritances of these ancient great sects were all inside, but the powerful inheritances had already been taken by the major aristocratic families.
Of course, even the remaining inheritances were rare treasures for ordinary professional families.
If they were outside, they would definitely not be obtainable for less than millions or tens of millions of credit points.
However, these things were useless to Jing Yuan and the others, so compared to the inheritances in the core area, the various cultivation grounds in the central area were more important to them.
"Whoosh!"
About a quarter of an hour after Jing Yuan entered the forest, a sudden tremor in the air struck.
His body's instincts reacted before his consciousness, bending forward sharply as a white blade grazed over his head.
After dodging the attack from behind, Jing Yuan tilted his body's center to the right, stomped his right foot firmly on the ground, and rotated his left foot, similar to a sweeping kick, but his left foot only extended less than half a meter, in order to quickly turn around.
At the same time, his right hand had already gathered strength and suddenly punched forward, striking at the white figure behind him.
