In the western part of China, this is the world's largest mobile desert, also known as the sand sea of China.

A straight highway passes through the desert, and there are not many vehicles, because the desert is already sparsely populated, and even if there are some vehicles, most of them come from other places.

In the middle of the desert there is an oasis with a small Hubo, around which are flowers and plants that can only be found here, and at the outermost periphery of this oasis are covered with some drought-tolerant trees.

To the north of Hubo, there are several houses, and in front of the houses is the land they have cultivated, and there are all kinds of vegetables and fruits in the land, but the most common is corn, which is probably easier to manage than wheat, and the yield is higher.

At this time, several middle-aged men and women were working in the fields, and a middle-aged man with a cold appearance looked at the eastern sky, where there were several black dots, and were moving in this direction.

The man's face changed slightly, and then he said to the others, "Here!" and put down his farming tools and walked to the largest room in the area.

When they all reached the door of the room, seven young men appeared.

And the one who took the lead was the young people from Yanzhou who appeared in the Qin family before.

The leader was the young man who Zhao Yan thought was a visitor from outside the territory.

Arriving here, the young man and the grim man exchanged a glance, and then the two entered the house, while the others stood guard outside the door.

From the outside, this house is an ordinary house, and it is also an ordinary house inside.

The difference is that the floor of this house can be folded automatically.

When the floor is lifted, there is a staircase below, which is brightly lit and brilliantly decorated, a place that resembles a bar, and is incompatible with the harsh environment outside the house.

However, the middle-aged man of the young man who walked down the stairs did not stop here, but walked to the innermost position.

The space below isn't huge, but it's not small, and it's quite big compared to some of the bars in the city.

The young man was led by a middle-aged man to the innermost room, which was different from the other rooms in the underground space.

Compared to the other rooms, this room is more traditional, and the whole room is full of runes.

In the middle of the floor of this room, there is a circle about two meters in diameter, and around this circle, more runes are engraved.

If Zhao Yan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was a small teleportation array.

After the young man entered the house, he stepped directly on the circular teleportation array, looked at the red pendant on his wrist, then raised his head and said the first and only sentence to the middle-aged man: "Don't act rashly until I come back!"

After saying this, the middle-aged man did not answer, and the young individual was taken away by a red light.

......

When all the people who got the stone talisman jumped into the cave, Zhao Yan and Si Chen Chu Qingyao also jumped in one after another.

As for those who didn't get the stone talisman, they were naturally driven out of the Qin family's compound.

They didn't know that Zhao Yan was also going to enter the cave, or they didn't know that Si Chen, who had just arrived, was also going to enter the cave.

Therefore, these people who were kicked out were also very honest and did not make any mistakes.

And Qin Yuan, the head of the Qin family, also began to arrange the formation after Zhao Yan jumped into the cave.

On the high mountains around the Qin family's compound, there were many new figures, but they didn't do anything to the Qin family, they just stood there, paying attention to the Qin family's every move.

Among them, there was an old man with a cigarette pouch in his hand, smoking a dry tobacco pouch, and smiling at the people around him, as if he still had a smug look on his face.

When the others saw the old man, most of them looked displeased.

After about five minutes, Zhao Yan's spiritual sense felt the ground below, due to the acceleration of gravity, their descent speed was already very fast, if it weren't for Si Chen's power protection, I'm afraid Chu Qingyao would not be able to stand it.

However, when Zhao Yan just felt the ground below, their descent slowed down, and the moment they touched the ground, they were still able to land steadily.

This made Zhao Yan and Si Chen feel very curious.

Zhao Yan could think that this must have something to do with what kind of formation, but he still admired the person who arranged this formation very much.

"What about people?" After Zhao Yan landed, the first thing he did was to look for the person who had fallen before.

Because, according to his spiritual sense, although there was the breath of those people around, no one noticed it.

"It's weird!" Si Chen also said: "Just now, when the descent speed suddenly slowed down, I seemed to feel a tearing force, don't you feel it?"

After Zhao Yan listened, he nodded and responded: "There is indeed a tearing power, but he can't affect us?"

"No, whether it affects us, that's our own feeling, perhaps, where we are at this time is no longer the position where we should land vertically. Si Chen explained solemnly.

Listening to Si Chen's words, Zhao Yan frowned slightly.

Because what Si Chen said was very reasonable, in this dark space, even though they had lighting tools, they couldn't completely distinguish the direction.

If they do change direction during landing, they may not be able to feel it.

"That's right, it seems like I only feel the breath of three people here!"

"Anyway, it's already down, let's see how we should go!"

After Zhao Yan said this, he looked at Chu Qingyao who was standing beside Si Chen, and found that Chu Qingyao didn't show fear in this environment, which made Zhao Yan curious.

Girls are afraid of the dark, this is almost a natural "quality", however, this Chu Qingyao doesn't seem to have this "excellent quality".

However, Zhao Yan didn't care, of course it was better, he smiled at Chu Qingyao, and then began to observe the surrounding environment.

There is nothing special around, and the whole thing looks like an underground passage, but the walls of this passage are very characteristic of traditional Chinese building technology.

In the end, Zhao Yan and the others chose a direction and walked over, regardless of whether the direction was correct or not.

After walking for about a few miles, there were lights flickering in front of me, and a few figures swaying, presumably from the people who had come in earlier.

So they moved on in that direction.

However, what made Zhao Yan strange was that after walking for a few miles, he still hadn't reached that location.

At this time, Chu Qingyao showed a tired state.

Actually, as an ordinary person, Chu Qingyao is already good, a little girl has followed two powerful monks so far, even a man may not be able to withstand it, but she did it.

"Let's rest for a while?" Zhao Yan said as he looked at Chu Qingyao's dissatisfied, sweaty face.

"En!" Chu Qingyao replied.

"Rest, I'll take a look at the front. Si Chen looked at Zhao Yan and said expressionlessly.

"Good!" Zhao Yan answered, took out two bottles of water from the ring, handed them to Chu Qingyao and said, "How do you feel?"

Chu Qingyao took the mineral water from Zhao Yan's hand, and then smiled and said, "It feels very novel, I have never felt so comfortable physically and mentally!"

Zhao Yan looked at Chu Qingyao and said with a strange expression: "In this almost confined space, do you still feel comfortable?"

"What's the matter, this kind of new experience, but never before, you can't understand what it's like to be a girl who is locked in a house all day!" Chu Qingyao said thoughtfully.

After listening to Chu Qingyao's words, Zhao Yan thought about Chu Qingyao's previous experience.

I heard that Chu Qingyao was separated from her parents as soon as she was born, and was taken to Qucheng alone to be raised secretly.

During this time, he did not really see his parents a few times in more than ten years.

Moreover, before the age of six, she had barely seen anything outside of any house.

It wasn't until she was six years old and started going to school that her superiors allowed Chu Qingyao to walk out of the room and come to the campus at the request of Dr. and Mrs. Chu.

But even so, as soon as school is over, Chu Qingyao will be taken away by the protection personnel.

This may be the reason for Chu Qingyao's indifferent character, right?

This kind of life didn't get better until that assassination of Ye Shuangxing was resolved.

After taking a sip of water, Chu Qingyao looked at Zhao Yan and asked very seriously, "Zhao Yan, do you believe that people have an afterlife?"

Hearing this question, Zhao Yan was stunned, his eyes looked at Chu Qingyao's crystal eyes, and he was stunned for a moment again.

"If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not!" Zhao Yan replied ambiguously.

After hearing Zhao Yan's answer, Chu Qingyao did not continue to ask questions, but looked at the ground under her feet, holding mineral water in her hand, and tapping on the ground casually.

At this moment, the two didn't seem to be exploring in the underground passage, but more like two young people chatting in a café.

Only now there was a brief silence.

Zhao Yan looked at the girl in front of him, who had just passed the age of sixteen, with some confusion in his eyes.

Zhao Yan really hadn't seen Chu Qingyao as seriously as she did now, even though she was the first school flower of Qucheng Middle School.

"It's good-looking, it's really good-looking!" Zhao Yan actually said in his heart.

Of course, it looks good, but if it's not good-looking, can it become the first school flower of Qucheng Middle School?

Suddenly, Chu Qingyao raised her head and looked at Zhao Yan, who was watching her, and Zhao Yan quickly turned her head in fright.

"Haha!" Chu Qingyao smiled and said, "Are you peeking at me?"

Chu Qingyao's smile made Zhao Yan's little heart flutter.

"Demon, why do the deities look at her?"

"But why is my heart beating?"

"Impossible!"

Zhao Yan seemed to be trying his best to deny something in his heart, and then pretended to be calm and said: "What do you mean by peeking?

"Hehe!" Chu Qingyao chuckled twice, and then said very sincerely: "Thank you Zhao Yan!"

"Uh......" Zhao Yan felt inexplicable: "Why are you grateful?"
