"It's you......" As soon as he saw Jiang Yao, Mu Jianyun's originally chaotic consciousness immediately sobered up a little, and he realized that the two of them at this time were lying wet on the shallows by an underground lake, and the only light source came from the phantom beside Jiang Yao.

"Lord Nine, Lord Nine Teeth!?" Mu Jianyun looked at the phantom that was looking at him gently, but he quickly reacted and cast his gaze on Jiang Yao on the side.

"Lord Lian Jiuya...... ...... have lent you all the power?"

Mu Jianyun looked at Jiang Yao, his mood was a little complicated, but Jiang Yao didn't seem to pay attention to the other party's gaze, and when he saw that Mu Jianyun was awake, he put away the phantom of the nine teeth, and at the same time re-unscrewed the bracelet light on his wrist that was flickering due to poor contact, and turned his head to look around.

"Nine Teeth has only lent me a small portion of my strength, which is a drop in the bucket for your injuries, and the miasma is thick here...... You'd better not get too far away from me. ”

"What about the others...... What about Qing Yu and them?" Mu Jianyun remembered something, and hurriedly looked around, but found that in addition to the huge lake, there were only some fragments of ruins and broken walls as far as the eye could see, and it seemed that the two of them fell from the top of the underground lake, and it was precisely because of the buffer of the lake that the two of them were able to pick up their lives.

"We are separated from them...... I didn't see them after I fished you out of the lake, and even the monster that was chasing us was gone, so it probably didn't fall in the same place......"

Jiang Yao recalled the thrilling scene before, and still had palpitations. To be honest, if it weren't for the sudden explosion of energy in his body at that time, it's really hard to say what kind of situation the two of them are in now.

"Then again, you've been unconscious and talking nonsense...... It seems that the previous battle has taken a toll on you. Jiang Yao said, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Mu Jianyun, who was pale. "I almost thought you couldn't do it......"

"......Nonsense? What did I say?" Mu Jianyun remembered his previous dream and hurriedly asked nervously.

"Hmm...... It seemed to be muttering something, but I couldn't hear it clearly......" Jiang Yao responded casually, then stood up and looked around again. "Since you're fine, let's hurry up, I'm worried about my little hair, if I'm not by his side, he won't last long here. ”

"......" Mu Jianyun saw that Jiang Yao was perfunctory, but he didn't say much, in fact, he himself was also very worried about Qing Yu's situation, so he stopped talking nonsense, and once again summoned the blue long sword from his palm and put it behind him, and the light blue light shone out from the sword body, slowly illuminating the two of them.

"Let's go. Mu Jianyun sorted out his emotions, and then used the long sword as a light to grope along the shallows of the underground lake with Jiang Yao towards the unknown darkness ahead.

This seems to be a huge underground karst cave, from the direction, it should be under the previous burial chamber, the half-moon-shaped underground lake spreads for thousands of square meters, and the front and back of the lake are bottomless darkness, I don't know where it leads. But fortunately, the special anti-interference compass found in Jiang Yao's arms from Old Man Huang's room was still usable, and as soon as the two of them combined, they followed the direction of the compass and probed towards the north side of the underground lake.

"We should be inside the mountain now, but the exact location is not clear, if we just look for people like headless flies, it will only be a waste of time, we must go out to find rescue first, I think Qingyu should have the same idea. Mu Jianyun analyzed.

"When the rescuers receive our request to come here, it will take a few hours at the earliest, and no one knows what will happen to the two of them during this time......" Jiang Yao thought about it, his eyes worried. "The best thing to do is to go out as soon as possible to find the glutton, he should be in this mountain forest, if he is there, the certainty of saving people is even greater." ”

“……”

Mu Jianyun glanced at Jiang Yao, and there seemed to be a trace of entanglement between his eyebrows, but in the end, he didn't look over his head and didn't say anything, but Jiang Yao caught Mu Jianyun's subtle emotional changes at a glance, and opened his mouth a little funny:

"Why, you seem to have an opinion on gluttony? Although this guy is indeed angry sometimes, he is indeed quite strong in terms of strength, and has saved me several times...... I don't understand what you're worried about. ”

"I'll admit he's strong, but for him...... You'd better keep a snack. Mu Jianyun stared at the darkness in front of him and said slowly.

"I don't understand...... Speaking of which, it seems that the people of your Spirit Imperial Platform don't like him very well, but isn't he all helping you with things now?" Jiang Yao remembered the reactions of the various Spirit Imperial Envoys when he mentioned gluttony in Penglai before, and everyone, including Yun Lan, seemed to be full of hostility towards him, and felt a little unfair for gluttony in his heart. "On the one hand, you sealed his mana and used him to do things for you, and on the other hand, you were wary of him everywhere, hehe...... Your Lingyutai is really not authentic enough. ”

"That's because you don't know his past. Facing Jiang Yao's questioning, Mu Jianyun was not angry, but continued to say lightly. "For thousands of years, every rebirth of a ferocious beast has brought about the destruction of life, and every recapture and slaughter of gluttony has been accompanied by the sacrifices of many spirit gods. Although the gluttony seems to be tamed now, and has been working for the Lingyutai for a hundred years, how can his thousand-year-old grievances with the Lingyutai be erased in just one century? We can't let down our guard against him, and how can he not be like this?"

"So this hatred is going to continue, and why can't we give him a chance at redemption?"

"Sometimes something 'essential' is hard to change, especially for the Ancient Beasts. Mu Jianyun turned his head, his gaze a little cold. "Do you know how we discovered the gluttony of this life a century ago?"

"......" Jiang Yao looked at Mu Jianyun's cold face, and felt a little uneasy in his heart for no reason.

"He killed people, to be exact, he ate an entire village. Mu Jianyun said coldly. "The sins on his body cannot be washed away by doing things for the Spirit Throne alone. ”

"......!!" Jiang Yao was stunned and speechless for a while.

"Shemales have different paths, it's good that you know it in your heart. Mu Jianyun retracted his gaze and looked ahead again, but soon, he seemed to have noticed something, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Huh? this place...... Look, there seems to be a pattern carved on the stone wall in front of you......" Mu Jianyun stretched out his hand and pointed forward, Jiang Yao recovered from the previous shock, followed the instructions and looked intently, and sure enough, he saw many strange murals on the stone wall in front of him, densely carved in a circle, and there were on the stone walls on both sides.

"The style of these murals is very similar to what we saw in that tomb just now, could it be that there is a connection between the two......" Jiang Yao stepped forward and carefully observed the murals on the stone wall. The style of the mural is very simple, as if left over from antiquity, and the black lines outline a slender figure, like a human and inhuman, as if to record some event.

The images in these paintings...... How does it feel...... A bit like those monsters you encountered before?

Jiang Yao stared at the seemingly inhuman creatures in the mural, and his heart was faintly suspicious, but what puzzled him the most was that the creatures in the painting not only walked upright, but also seemed to be quite intelligent, judging from the expression in the painting, they not only lived in groups, but also owned villages like ordinary humans, one of the creatures was larger than the other creatures in the painting, and was surrounded by them, like the leader of these creatures.

"Huh, what is this?"

Mu Jianyun said, walking to the other end of the mural, Jiang Yao turned his head and found that there seemed to be a conspicuous monster engraved on the mural at the other end, only to see that the size of this monster was several times larger than those seemingly inhuman creatures, the head was completely a skeleton, and the body was draped in a tattered battle robe, and its two legs were in the shape of tiger claws, and the monster in the painting was brandishing a weapon and roaring, and the whole image was hideous and terrifying.

"This mural seems to be about the creatures fighting this monster, and you see, there are a lot of corpses painted at the feet of the monster, and it seems that it was a fierce battle. Jiang Yao looked at the mural and said.

"Hmm...... I always feel that this giant monster seems to be a little familiar, as if it is a legendary monster ......" Mu Jianyun thought about it, but he couldn't find the answer for a while, so he could only continue to watch, and the next picture made the two of them suddenly tingle.

It was indeed a vicious battle, but the end of the war was so strange in the last mural, only to see the troll in the center of the picture already prostrate on the ground, black gas gushing out from its body, and under it seemed to appear a huge magic circle, under the arrangement of their leader, the human and non-human creatures surrounded the central troll in a strange spoon-shaped formation, alive, dead, piled up...... It was as if they were preying on the trolls.

"Could this be ...... 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array'!?" Mu Jianyun's face changed and he blurted out.

"'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array'?, what is that......" Jiang Yao asked.

"An extremely domineering evil array, which is said to be able to connect to the netherworld, borrow the power of the Yellow Spring of the Earth to restrain the soul, and is generally used for sealing, but it has been lost for thousands of years, and I have only seen it in ancient books. Mu Jianyun said, pointing to the formation of those creatures in the mural.

"The 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' is divided into two layers, the main array in the center seals the target, and the auxiliary array on the periphery is arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, providing the main array with suppressive power, and the two complement each other. But the most evil thing about this array is that its auxiliary array needs to be activated by the power of the soul, in other words, to operate this magic circle, it needs to sacrifice a lot of lives as a price, which can be described as a double-edged sword. ”

"If the one on this mural is as you said, the 'Seven Stars Soul Binding Array', then judging from the content of the mural, those creatures should have used themselves as victims of the magic circle and collectively sealed the troll...... Jiang Yao looked at the mural and sighed. "Then after this 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' is running, will it continue forever?"

"Theoretically, yes, once operational, this circle is basically unsolvable...... Even if the auxiliary array is destroyed, the seal can only be loosened, and the seal cannot be completely broken, unless ...... Completely destroy the "Eye of the Circle". Mu Jianyun said. "It's just that the location of the eye of the 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' is very mysterious, there is no exact record, and the power of the circle itself is very domineering, once ordinary people enter the range of the array, it is likely that even their own soul will be pulled into the array, let alone destroy the array eye inside. ”

"Then what is the eye of this magic circle?"

"I don't know...... It is not as detailed in ancient books. Mu Jianyun shook his head and said. "But as an important 'array eye' for the pressure of the array, it must not be an ordinary item......

"Rumble——!!

Before the words fell, the ground under the feet of the two suddenly began to shake slightly, and at the same time, a seemingly nonexistent roar came from behind, Jiang Yao and the two looked back, but found that in the darkness behind them, a huge figure gradually disappeared, approaching the two step by step.
