The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1826: Chapter 1924: Secrets of the Underground

Fang Lin’s expression was calm as he said, "It’s nothing, just a Thousand-insect Body-devouring Pill."

The woman in the black dress, upon hearing the name of the pill, turned even paler, her eyes filled with fear and anger.

"You actually made me consume such a vicious pill!" the woman in black dress shouted angrily, looking as if she wanted to pounce on Fang Lin and bite a piece of flesh off him.

The so-called Thousand-insect Body-devouring Pill, as the name implies, is a very terrifying and poisonous pill, made from a thousand kinds of poisonous insects. If one consumes this poisonous pill, they won’t die immediately, but will often suffer the pain of a thousand insects burrowing through their body, ultimately having their organs and flesh devoured within a hundred days, dying a horrible death in extreme pain.

The moment the woman in black dress heard that she had consumed such a pill, she was naturally extremely panicked and harbored a deep hatred for Fang Lin.

"If I take you to that ancient battlefield, you must give me the antidote!" the woman in black dress gritted her teeth and said, her expression twitching as the intense pain within her body had not yet subsided and continued relentlessly.

Fang Lin nodded, "As long as you don’t play any tricks and honestly take me to the ancient battlefield you mentioned, the antidote will naturally be yours."

The woman in black dress, in her heart, cursed Fang Lin countless times, but at this moment, she could only obediently follow Fang Lin’s instructions, not daring to make any other moves.

Once the pain subsided a bit, the pale woman in black dress continued to lead Fang Lin towards the ancient battlefield she had mentioned before.

A month later, under the guidance of the woman in black dress, Fang Lin arrived at a place surrounded by mountains. As far as the eye could see were peaks of various sizes, stretching endlessly for tens of thousands of miles.

"Is the ancient battlefield you mentioned here?" Fang Lin asked, somewhat puzzled as he looked at the chain of mountains ahead.

The woman in black dress responded, "It’s within these mountains, but extremely hidden. If I hadn’t accidentally discovered it, it would have been impossible to find that ancient battlefield."

"This place doesn’t seem to have anything remarkable. If an ancient battlefield truly existed, it should have been discovered long ago," Fang Lin said, casting a suspicious glance at the woman in black dress, as if questioning whether she was playing tricks.

The woman in black dress, seeing the look Fang Lin gave her, merely snorted coldly and continued to fly forward, while Fang Lin followed her leisurely, not in a hurry.

After flying for some distance, the woman in black dress pointed to a small, narrow area nestled among the mountains below.

"It’s below here," she said, then immediately descended.

Fang Lin, maintaining his vigilance, also descended to the ground with the woman in black dress, his Heavenly Eye long activated to examine everything here.

Under the Heavenly Eye, all illusions were non-existent, yet to Fang Lin, this place appeared quite ordinary. Apart from being surrounded by several great mountains, making it seem isolated from the world, it had no peculiarities.

A place like this couldn’t possibly be an ancient battlefield, not even a natural treasure ground.

Fang Lin immediately looked at the woman in black dress, his first reaction being that this woman wasn’t taking him to any ancient battlefield but had some conspiracy and scheme.

The woman in black dress looked at Fang Lin coldly and said, "This is indeed an ancient battlefield, but only the outermost layer."

"What do you mean?" Fang Lin asked with a somewhat unfriendly tone.

The woman in black dress stomped her foot on the ground, "The real ancient battlefield is beneath this surface, invisible from the outside."

Fang Lin’s brow furrowed more deeply, "If the ancient battlefield is really underground, how did you discover it?"

The woman in black dress sneered, "I was once pursued by a woman to this place, with no escape above or below, so I took refuge underground to save my life, only then discovering the ancient battlefield below, which saved me from dying at that woman’s hands."

Fang Lin was taken aback. He could hear the deep resentment in the woman in black dress’s tone, and the woman she mentioned who pursued her was likely his own mother, Bai Qingxue.

"Was the person chasing you surnamed Bai?" Fang Lin couldn’t help but ask.

The woman in black dress was startled, "How do you know?"

Fang Lin smiled bitterly to himself; he had really guessed it right. It seemed his mother had indeed harshly dealt with this woman in black dress back then, chasing and suppressing her, making Fang Lin feel a bit sympathetic towards the woman.

"Since the ancient battlefield is below here, you go down first," Fang Lin said. Even though they had reached this place, he still hadn’t easily trusted the woman in black dress, always maintaining enough vigilance.

"Let’s agree first, once we reach the actual ancient battlefield, you must give me the antidote!" the woman in black dress said.

Fang Lin responded with two affirmations, sounding a bit impatient.

Immediately, the woman in black dress went underground, and Fang Lin closely followed, preventing the woman in black dress from seizing the opportunity to escape, although it was unlikely she would do so.

Underground, the two moved forward one after the other, and Fang Lin estimated they had descended several thousand zhang deep.

Suddenly, the space ahead opened up, but also an immense murderous aura rushed forward like a huge wave crashing upon Fang Lin.

Even with Fang Lin’s strong body, he felt somewhat uncomfortable under such a sudden impact.

The woman in black dress, however, seemed well-prepared, unshaken by the surging murderous aura.

Fang Lin, looking attentively, saw a vast desolate land below, filled with all kinds of strange and bizarre remains.

"Ancient battlefield!" Seeing these remains, Fang Lin immediately confirmed that this was indeed the ancient battlefield because the traces on these remains were too ancient, left only by the beings that perished during the ancient times.

In particular, the place was filled with violent murderous intent, identical to the ancient battlefield in Fang Lin’s past life memories.

Because the ancient battlefield had witnessed countless bloody battles during ancient times, too many beings had died on the battlefield. Over the years, this had resulted in such dense murderous aura.

"Now you should believe that I indeed didn’t lie to you," the woman in black dress said, with a hint of mockery in her tone.

Fang Lin ignored her and pushed the power of the Heavenly Eye to the extreme, trying to see how vast this ancient battlefield truly was.

This examination was shocking.

Fang Lin’s Heavenly Eye could reach for ten thousand miles, yet he couldn’t see the end of this ancient battlefield, indicating its vastness, a rare gigantic ancient battlefield.

Ancient battlefields of this scale were extremely rare outside.
