28 Secret Passages

"Brother Ye, get up so early. โ€

"Get up and take a walk, I'll look around. โ€

"Brother, there's nothing unusual in the second half of the night, right?"

"Brother Ye, there is nothing abnormal around, but yesterday we left the place, it was more than ten kilometers apart, and I still heard the roar of demon beasts there all night. โ€

"Thankfully, we left early, and if we had gone a little late, who knows what would have happened. โ€

Before dawn, Ye Xiu got up.

When I walked to the entrance of the cave, I met a soldier who was on vigil in the middle of the night, and the two of them chatted a few words. Ye Xiu asked the soldier's eldest brother for some information, and then went out.

"Brother Ye, be careful, I only heard about the horror of the dark forest before, but this time I really saw the horror of this place, no wonder some people say that the innate masters have entered, and they are not 100% sure that they will get out alive. I used to think it was just a random scare, but now I believe a little bit. โ€

"Got it, thank you. โ€

Before Ye Xiu left, the soldier's eldest brother kept warning Ye Xiu.

After leaving, Ye Xiu first found a secluded place, and after carefully checking that there was no trace of the surroundings, he summoned the wordless heavenly book.

A book made of jade that glowed white appeared in front of him.

Ye Xiu put the black crystal he got yesterday on the wordless heavenly book, and then put the improved sword drawing and slashing cheats on it. And the reason he guessed, that black crystal was the demon beast demon core, and the wordless heavenly book could be absorbed as energy.

After absorbing it, Ye Xiu started the second layer of training for drawing a knife and slashing.

He originally thought that with his current strength, he could protect himself in the forest without a problem, but what happened yesterday told him that the dark forest was more terrifying than he thought.

He has to improve.

After a while, he came to the space where he practiced drawing his sword for the first time.

He spent an unknown amount of time in the illusory space, but when he opened his eyes, he found that it was only a moment.

By this time it was getting a little brighter.

The east is white.

Ye Xiu's body made a crackling sound, and there was a lot of information in his mind, letting him know that he had practiced the second layer of drawing a knife and slashing.

Drawing a knife to cut the second layer, it is much higher and deeper than the first layer, and when using it, it needs to cooperate with internal force, and it can cut out more than five times its own strength in an instant.

The only drawback is that he has too little internal strength now, and he will be exhausted after three slashes at most.

His strength increased by five hundred catties again, reaching two thousand five hundred catties. Even if you don't use the drawing knife to cut the second layer, just the first layer of drawing the knife is enough to cut out 7,500 catties of strength.

If you don't talk about internal strength, his strength is now not inferior to that of first-class masters.

After the ascension and slashing, the sky gradually brightened, Ye Xiu followed the path they took yesterday, carefully walked again, he wanted to find out the clues of the traitor, or leave a mark, but he didn't find it.

When he returned, he had just reached the entrance of the cave when a soldier ran up.

"Brother Ye, the eldest lady is looking for you. โ€

Ye Xiu walked over, and Xie Yun handed over a piece of jerky and a water bag to Ye Xiu.

"Brother Ye, I heard that you went out early in the morning to explore the road, and you worked hard. Drink some water, eat some jerky, and we'll be ready to go. โ€

Ye Xiu took the thing.

"Thank you. โ€

After he took a sip of water, he didn't touch the jerky, this thing was a ration in the army, although the taste was not unpleasant, but it was not delicious.

Ye Xiu had eaten it once a few days ago, and it was so hard that he almost knocked his teeth out.

After Ye Xiu finished drinking the water, his eyes raised, it was dark when he came in yesterday, although the cave had been searched carefully, but it was too dark, and the search was not careful enough, just now he found that the stone wall was obviously abnormal.

Ye Xiu's eyes looked straight ahead, and in Xie Yun's opinion, Ye Xiu's eyes were just looking at her. After all, she was a sixteen-year-old girl, and she was stared at by Ye Xiu, and she didn't know why, she was suddenly a little shy.

A few glances are enough, and staring like this is rude.

Xie Yun thought of it, her face was slightly red.

Ye Xiu stared at it for a while, but she didn't shift her gaze, she felt that something was wrong, and her eyes secretly glanced at Ye Xiu a few times, only to find that Ye Xiu was not looking at her.

It's the stone wall behind her.

Determining Ye Xiu's gaze, the shyness in her heart disappeared, but she was a little disappointed, such a beautiful beauty didn't look at it in front of her, what kind of stone wall.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong with this stone wall?"

Xie Yun also turned to look at the stone wall and asked.

"I guess there's a secret door in this place?"

He walked a few steps, groping for the bulge, and when his hand was inadvertently pressed down, suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from the stone wall, and a gap appeared in the stone wall.

The sound of Shimen pushing was not small, and it quickly attracted Xie Changlin and the others.

Ye Xiu lit a torch and looked at the stone road. It is surrounded by hard stone walls, and traces of rough artificial excavation can be seen, and the passage is two and a half meters high and one and a half meters wide.

"Miss, how can there be a secret passage here?"

Xie Changlin walked over and asked.

Xie Yun says:

"Uncle Cousin, I'm also wondering, maybe someone left the relics. โ€

In this world, there will be some people who choose to cultivate away from human beings and dig caves, or in the past, some mysterious forces dug a warehouse here to store treasures.

Anyway, in the depths of the secret passage, anything is possible.

The more valuable things are stored, the more cautious the mechanism becomes, and some people have found that there are caves left above the innate ones, and the innate masters have been hit and died when they go to find treasures.

When dealing with these uncertainties, we should not be careless at any time.

After Ye Xiu carefully observed, he didn't find anything abnormal, the stone wall was not smooth, and he couldn't see any mechanism. However, this was only his initial judgment, and he was not sure yet.

He picked up two stones and threw them into the passage, only to hear the echo of two small stones tumbling, and after a while there was nothing unusual before he slowly walked in with a torch.

Xie Changlin and several soldiers also followed in with torches, and Xie Yun was left outside.

They walked very slowly, about a dozen meters, until they reached a hall.

The hall is more than the passage, there are more than 200 square meters in size, there is a stone table and two stone benches in the middle of the hall, there are stone beds and a wooden cabinet in the corner, but they are all covered with dust, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, a musty smell, and there are some rotten clothes.

Judging by the extent of the decay of the clothes, only fragments remain, and the place has been abandoned for at least a hundred years.

They scattered and searched around, and the only valuable thing was that they found a book made of demon beast skin, which was written with the secret book of beast control, which was obviously a secret book on beast control.

In addition to these, there are also some bottles and jars, and some pill bottles, but most of the pills have decayed and differentiated, and only one small jade bottle still has two pills that are relatively intact.

After looking at it for a while and not finding anything of value again, they went out.

"That's all there is to it. โ€

Looking at the things in front of her, Xie Yun was a little crying and laughing, she thought that they had found something amazing, but she didn't expect that there were only these two things.

Xie Yun pointed to the Imperial Beast Technique and said to Ye Xiu.

"Brother Ye, since they were discovered together, the beast trick belongs to you, and we can copy a copy. โ€

"As for this elixir, Uncle Tang has checked it, this is an elixir that improves internal strength, and it can improve the internal strength of a first-class martial artist, one level per person. โ€

Ye Xiu nodded, Xie Yun is very fair in this distribution, his current shortcoming is in terms of internal force, if the internal force is increased by one level, he will be a second-rate martial artist, and it will be safer in the dark forest at that time.

"It's just as Miss Xie said. โ€

"Miss Xieยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Ye Xiu's words came to his lips, but he stopped talking.

Xie Yun looked at Ye Xiu as if she had something to say, but she didn't know how to say it, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Brother Ye, is there anything else?"

Ye Xiu was silent for a while, looked around, and whispered to Xie Yun.

"There are moles in the ranks. โ€
