Chapter 246 The Outer Edge of the Secret Realm
"Prime Minister, since the fragments of law are useful to the Sixth Pearl, why don't I go deep into the secret realm to kill a third-tier Rakshasa!"
Seeing Kongming's furrowed brow, Zhao Yun volunteered. Little did he know that Kongming's main concern was financial pain!
"The treasure is yours, why should I, Brother Zilong, go! Anyway, I, Old Pig, will not go!" Pigsy sat down on the ground, muttering.
Looking at Zhu Bajie's appearance, Kongming smiled helplessly, "Did I promise Zilong that I would go to the depths of the secret realm alone?"
Then he looked at Zhao Yun and shook his head, "Zilong, although there are many third-tier Rakshasa in the depths of the secret realm, it is also extremely dangerous. There is no need to take the risk!"
"But, Prime Minister..."
Just as Zhao Yun was about to speak, Kongming raised his hand to interrupt him.
The ancient aristocratic families knew all too well what lay deep within the secret realm, and none of their scions dared to venture into the depths rashly, only daring to search the outer perimeter first.
It's clear that they were extremely wary of the demonic Rakshasa deep within.
Even if we didn't encounter the Demon Rakshasa, there must be a fourth-order Rakshasa in the depths that can rival a Nascent Soul cultivator.
How could Kongming let Zhao Yun take such a dangerous risk!
Initially, Xuan Yuanche proposed that each person search in a different direction, and they eventually met up at a certain place deep within the secret realm.
This indicates that the three ancient clans had no intention of venturing into the depths of the secret realm.
After all, ten thousand years have passed, and no one knows what level of cultivation the flower demon beside Gu Xuan has reached.
The flower demon in disguise, the Demon Rakshasa, is a ghost of hell, killing without blinking an eye. Relying on these low-level disciples to try to venture into the depths of the secret realm is simply throwing their lives away.
Perhaps when Gu Xuan set up this rule in this secret realm, it was partly to prevent high-level cultivators from entering, but more likely it was to protect this flower demon.
"Prime Minister, what should we do next?" Zhao Yun looked intently at Kongming, awaiting his decision.
Kongming remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Since the three great families have no intention of going deeper, why don't we take a stroll around the outer perimeter of the secret realm first?"
Although Kongming entered the secret realm to unlock the secrets of the gilded cauldron, he would act within his capabilities and not put himself or his companions in too dangerous a situation.
The three of them slowly made their way along the outer edge of the secret realm, killing two third-tier Rakshasa along the way.
However, most of the Rakshasa they encountered were low-level Rakshasa of the first or second tier, so Zhuge Liang didn't need to take action at all. Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, had a good time showing off.
Unfortunately, these low-level Rakshasa do not contain any fragments of laws. Apart from their hard claws which can be used for weapon crafting, they are not of much value.
Zhu Ganglie, not wanting his efforts to be in vain, put the pile of sharp claws into his storage bag.
On this day, Kongming and his two companions were cautiously searching in a valley on the outskirts of the secret realm. Suddenly, they faintly heard the sounds of fighting.
"Big brother, there's movement over there! Maybe a third-tier Rakshasa has appeared!" Pigsy's eyes lit up as he excitedly pointed in the direction the sound came from and shouted.
Kongming frowned slightly and listened carefully. The sounds of fighting were chaotic and numerous, indicating that there was more than one Rakshasa.
Since entering the secret realm, most of the independent cultivators they encountered were in groups of three or five. Being newcomers, everyone was wary and kept their distance from each other, fearing that they might inadvertently become prey for others.
"Brother, hurry up! If we don't go now, all the benefits will be snatched away by others!" Zhu Ganglie was extremely anxious when he saw that Kongming had not made a statement, so he urged him hurriedly.
Everyone knows that a third-tier Rakshasa is terrifyingly powerful. If a rogue cultivator were to fight it one-on-one, they would have almost no chance of winning and would inevitably become prey for the third-tier Rakshasa. Therefore, rogue cultivators usually team up to search for the traces of third-tier Rakshasa.
However, if they were to unfortunately encounter a group of Rakshasa, they would have no choice but to retreat and avoid them, not daring to fight them head-on.
But Zhu Ganglie was different. After witnessing Kongming slaughter Rakshasa like dogs, he wished there would be more third-tier Rakshasa. Anyway, he didn't need to lift a finger, and he could take the opportunity to gain a lot of benefits!
Kongming glared helplessly at Zhu Bajie before rushing towards the direction of the fight. He desperately needed the fragments of the laws and wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by...
