"Where did they go, where did they go?"

I tugged at my hair, and I was in a state of panic.

In the dark night, I couldn't see my fingers, only the stars in the distant sky, and they were all shadows in the clouds.

I anxiously walked back and forth on the floor of Zhou's house, and for a while I was desperate to the extreme.

I don't know if I should go into the mountains or not.

Because I know exactly what it means to go into the mountains in this kind of environment.

The dense forest is full of danger.

At this time, I only heard two strange crows in the dense forest behind me.

"Whoa, whoa—"

Awakened by these two abrupt screams, I suddenly remembered the scene of Chihiro's last parting with me.

Thinking of Chihiro, I finally forgot all my fears, and as soon as I gritted my teeth, I bypassed the Zhou family's house and ran towards the back mountain.

Mobilizing the true qi in my body, I flexibly flew on the flying branches.

Standing on the fluttering treetops, I realized for the first time that I was as light as a swallow.

I was overjoyed with this discovery.

I was like a shark galloping in the sea, coming and going in and out of the waves of the forest sea, stepping on the tops of various unknown trees, chasing in the direction of the sinkhole I had come to last time.

I only felt that the two pieces of black jade in my body were spinning rapidly, and the endless flow of true qi that burst out from the Blood Tribulation Sutra was all restrained through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra.

The body no longer had the feeling of being out of control.

I know that all of this is due to the Zenze Sutra.

Although I have not yet comprehended any of the exercises in the Shanze Sutra.

But I can sense that the Blood Tribulation Sutra in my body is being suppressed by this piece of black jade.

This repression did not go so far as to hinder my progress, it was just a protective mechanism against excesses.

A quarter of an hour later, I found the same place where we had camped together.

But strangely, this time, I didn't see the light that shot out of the sinkhole in the distance and went straight to the sky.

This made me feel uneasy.

Why isn't that pillar in the sinkhole glowing today?

Curiosity prompted me not to linger long, and immediately leapt forward from the treetops, flying in the direction of the sinkhole.

The night birds flew at my feet, and as I kept moving forward, my heart fell deeper and deeper to the bottom.

If you calculate according to time, even if Chihiro and the others entered the mountain half a day earlier than me, at their current speed, they should have been able to find their traces a long time ago.

But I didn't find any trace of a human being.

This discovery made me more and more anxious, and I couldn't help but exert my strength under my feet.

At that moment, my body jerked backwards, almost causing me to fall from the treetops into the forest below.

Staggering to a halt, I just felt like I had just penetrated a layer of something.

It's like in the air behind me, there's a completely transparent membrane, and the feeling of the body penetrating it is like walking through a blister that won't break.

Surprised, I turned around and touched the place.

An almost transparent ripple in the air, so weird, so magical.

I was terrified and excited.

This is an enchantment, is this what the Taoists call an enchantment?

I was shocked, even though I was able to use my True Qi to spur the creation of the enchantment.

But the enchantment that shrouded a domain really shocked me.

I don't know how much magical power it takes to lay such a huge barrier in such a vast area.

Time doesn't allow me to think about it either.

I turned around and looked in the same direction.

I thought it was the barrier that blocked my view from the pillar of light that was coming out of the sinkhole.

But when I turned around, I realized that I was wrong.

In front of my eyes, those mountains are all gone.

I just felt like I was in a completely unfamiliar environment.

I'm sure I've never been here, but the direction has always been correct.

Out of confidence in my own duel, I urged my true qi and swept forward at a rapid pace.

But when I came to the place where it used to be a sinkhole, there was a huge mountain range that was unattainable.

The mountain is so steep that it looks like it has been cut by an axe.

The most amazing thing is that on that steep mountain wall, there are countless scaffolding, which stretches all the way to the top of the mountain.

The scaffolding, like the scaffolding on the surface of the building, is only more complex and more numerous, as if the whole mountain in front of you was an amazing building, and this grand project has just been completed, and the scaffolding has not yet had time to be removed.

I was shocked and full of doubts.

I don't know what happened to me or how I got here.

Where the hell is this?

Who built these strange shelves?

What is the purpose of these shelves?

Curiosity got the better of me, and for a moment I almost forgot the purpose of my trip.

I ran forward as fast as I could, looking at the dead horses of the mountains, and by the time I had flown from the treetops to the foot of the great mountains.

The entire mountain range has long since disappeared from my sight.

All I could see was a towering cliff.

The walls of the mountain were covered with vines, and there were many dwarf shrubs growing in them.

The huge scaffolding was clearly presented to me.

From here, it's more visually striking than from a distance.

The scaffolding, centered on where I was standing, stretched infinitely on both sides, with no edge in sight.

Looking up, it is as magnificent as reaching the sky.

They were all made of solid wood, and the bottom wood was all huge logs that two people hugged together.

Those logs are already covered with thick moss, and it shows people how old it is.

I don't know when it was erected.

Looking up at the sky, I couldn't help but think of a term: savage.

I remember Lao Zhou once told me that in the Shennong Mountains, there have been rumors of wild people for thousands of years.

But no one has ever actually caught it alive.

The mountain people who have lived here for generations believe in the rumors of savages.

Today, when I see such magnificent buildings, I almost become a believer in them.

Except for the wild people, I can't imagine who would come to this ancient jungle and build such a huge project.

Looking up, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind.

A bold idea sparked my curiosity again.

Did they build such a grand project to reach the top of this majestic mountain range?

What is it about this? What fascinates the ancient savages so much that they have to go up to see what is going on at the expense of huge manpower and material resources?

This thought kept tormenting me and gave me an irrepressible urge.
