Zen nodded, “In that case, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s go in!”
As his words fell, Zen and his companions rushed deeper into the valley.
After Zen and the others left, thousands of martial artists emerged from the tomb passage.
They were all captivated by the beauty of the valley.
However, everyone sobered up quickly after a brief moment of indulgence.
After all, they were here for the Dragon Emblem fragment, not to go sightseeing.
In no time, thousands of martial artists charged into the valley.
Meanwhile, Candace Nance and her group were the last to emerge from the tomb passage.
As for the beauty of the valley, she only spared it a glance before disregarding it.
An ordinary woman would have been captivated by such a beautiful environment, but Candace Nance was no ordinary woman!
She was a true prodigy!
After a single glance, she followed in Chris and his companions’ footsteps, chasing after them!
In her heart, nothing was more important than Chris. At that time, Chris and his companions had already reached a primordial forest deep in the valley. Because it had not been destroyed by human activity, the trees here were extremely tall.
“So many precious herbs!” someone exclaimed.
“Wow! This is actually a ginseng that has grown for over a hundred years!”
“This is a Polygonum Multiflorum!”
As they ventured deeper into the valley, Chris and his companions encountered many rare and precious herbs that were seldom seen outside the valley. Whether it was ginseng, Polygonum Multiflorum, or Lingzhi mushrooms, these medicinal ingredients were very useful to martial artists. All of these were powerful tonics that could replenish their vital energy.
Seeing so many herbs for the first time, Morton and the others were very excited. Due to the severe environmental damage outside, it had become difficult to find so many precious herbs with such long histories. Usually, they would have to pay millions for a hundred-year-old ginseng, and they often had to compete for it.
However, here in the valley, there were not just hundred-year-old ginseng plants, but also those that were three hundred or even five hundred years old. These herbs, if sold, would be priceless treasures. It could be said that Chris and his companions had struck it rich.
Seeing the astonished expressions on everyone’s faces, Peter Jefferson said with a smile, “When my ancestors transformed this valley, they aimed to preserve its pristine appearance, so there was no destruction.”
“I don’t know how many years this valley has been isolated from the world, but there are many precious herbs that have grown here for hundreds or even thousands of years. However, everyone should be careful, as there are traps and fierce beasts everywhere in the valley. Do not be careless and lose your lives!”
Upon hearing Peter Jefferson’s words, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Morton and Grace Field, who had initially wanted to pick the herbs, stopped in their tracks. Seeing this, Chris said with a smile, “Alright, don’t be afraid! Just pick all the herbs that are over a hundred years old and be careful!”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved, and they cautiously spread out to pick the herbs. All of them were martial artists, and seeing so many herbs made them extremely excited. It would be impossible for them to give up on such a treasure trove.
Why would anyone leave empty-handed after reaching a treasure mountain?
However, there were indeed many traps in the valley. Several royal guards accidentally triggered some of them. Fortunately, they reacted in time and avoided any major harm. Even so, a few royal guards were still injured.
Seeing everyone excitedly picking the herbs, a smile appeared at the corner of Chris’s mouth. He knew that even if they didn’t pick the herbs, the martial artists coming after them would. It was better to benefit themselves than to let others take advantage.
