Qingshan hurriedly shouted: "Qingqing, Brother Ye, the darkness is coming, you guys sit down quickly......"

The rest of the people got up one after another, gathered around the fire, close together, almost side by side, and suddenly made a lot of room for the narrow ruined temple.

Even Qingqing, this girl, is no exception.

Seeing that Ye Chen's face was full of puzzlement, the little girl suddenly became anxious: "Brother Ye, sit down quickly......"

The next moment!

The cries and roars outside the ruined temple became more and more intense, and then countless running beasts swarmed closer.

Among them are giant, snail-like tentacle monsters, one-legged frog-like monsters, and sturdy white apes......

These beings seemed to be hiding from something, and frantically poured into the broken temple, as if they didn't see Ye Chen and the others, huddled together tightly, and then looked out with fear on their faces.

Ye Chen followed their gaze and saw endless darkness coming from outside the ruined temple, and countless brute beasts were running wildly, as if trying to avoid it.

However, the speed of darkness is very fast, and after a lone brute beast falls into the darkness, the sound of chewing meat and bones can be heard in the darkness, which is terrifying.

"Quicksand of souls?"

Ye Chen's eyes suddenly froze.

He was all too familiar with this scene, he had experienced it on the ghost ship, and there was a terrifying existence hidden in the black fog, specializing in devouring flesh and blood.

I didn't think that now that I saw it here again, it was no wonder that so many brute beasts would run en masse in a panic.

Just when Ye Chen thought that the darkness would pour into the broken temple.

But they saw that the darkness suddenly stopped at the gate of the ruined temple, and there was no further advance, as if there was an invisible gate blocking them outside.

"Buzz ......"

Fluorescent dots appeared on the stone walls around the ruined temple, and those strange patterns began to squirm, as if the fonts had been resurrected.

The stone statue behind everyone is also shining with light.

The stone statue resembles a man, with a long beard, a halberd in hand, angry eyebrows, and a body covered with dust, containing the breath of time and decay.

Immediately afterwards, whether it was Qingshan and the others, or all the brute beasts held in the ruined temple, they all knelt down against the stone statue, as if they were worshipping and praying.

"Diwei, this is Diwei......"

Ye Chen quietly looked at the stone statue in front of him, and after feeling the momentum on his body, he couldn't help but be moved.

The stone statue can emit the majesty of the Emperor Throne Realm!

It is also in this way that the emperor kept the darkness of the outside world out of the broken temple, and thus saved all living beings.

He secretly gasped: "This is an Emperor Throne Realm powerhouse who has turned into a stone statue?"

With this in mind, he slowly got up and walked towards the stone statue, trying to reach out and touch the stone statue lightly.

"Roar!!

At this time, all the brute beasts who were originally kneeling and worshipping were roaring at Ye Chen, as if they were warnings.

"Brother Ye, don't do this!"

Qingshan and the others also changed their faces for it: "This is our patron saint, don't blaspheme !!"

Ye Chen had no choice but to give up, returned to the place and sat down, but his mind was active.

The stone statue in front of him must have been a powerhouse of the Emperor Throne Realm during his lifetime, but why did he turn into a stone statue!

How could they appear in this forbidden sea? Could it be that the other party is just like himself, and he is all suppressed here?

A little bit of the world passed, and the ruined temple was extremely quiet, whether it was Qingshan and the others, or the many beasts gathered on the other side, they all maintained a delicate situation, and no one made a move.

When the dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight reached the ruined temple, the darkness that blocked the outside of the ruined temple dissipated.

The herd retreated.

Qingshan and the others cheered and walked out of the broken temple to get water, but they seemed to be accustomed to all this.

Ye Chen followed behind them, and as soon as he came out of the ruined temple, he saw that the grass outside was full of all kinds of bones.

It seems to have been left over from last night, and from time to time a vulture falls and takes a piece in its mouth and flapps its wings away.

Ye Chen walked side by side with Qingshan, and said tentatively, "Did last night's situation happen often?"

"Yes, Brother Ye!"

Qingshan nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "As long as it is night, no one can go out, and they must stay at home, this is the ancestral training of our village since ancient times......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but admonish: "Last night's danger, Brother Ye, you also saw it, the clan elders said that there is terror in the dark, and it can eat people......"

"Then how does your village protect itself in the dark?" Ye Chen asked again.

Qingshan said with a smile: "Because it looks like the stone statues in the broken temple, we also have them in our village, and there are quite a few, and every time after dark, it is these stone statues that protect us......"

Ye Chen nodded secretly, the doubts in his heart were suddenly solved, and he said, "Then do you know the origin of these stone statues?"

"Then I don't know. ”

Qingshan scratched his head and said in confusion: "These stone statues have existed for a long time, dating back to when our village was not yet established......

Ye Chen must not be disappointed.

"That's right!"

Qingshan seemed to remember something, and added, "I seem to have heard the clan elder say that these stone statues are our ancestors. ”

"Ancestor?"

When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him, and secretly said, "So, this kid is still a descendant of a powerhouse in the Emperor Throne Realm?"

In this world, it is able to devour the true essence and true qi of cultivators, so martial artists and cultivators cannot live at all, they can only survive by brute force, and it stands to reason that a martial artist of the Emperor Throne Realm should not be born.

Then the only explanation is that these Emperor Realm powerhouses are also from outside.

After contacting his own experience, he couldn't help but make a bold guess: "It seems that these Emperor Realm powerhouses were also suppressed here by the Immortal Palace......"

As for how long, he didn't know.

The only thing that is clear is that even if the Emperor Throne Realm powerhouse falls here, he will be reduced to a waste, and he can only survive by brute force.

"It seems that this immortal hall is not simple......"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes: "Judging from that person's means of knocking me down to the forbidden sea, the other party will inevitably become a god in the late stage of cultivation, or even higher......"

Higher?

That's the refining period!

Thinking of this, Rao Yi Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but be nervous, in a desolate ancient realm parallel to the earth, there were cultivators in the refining period.

Anyone would be surprised.

Of course, this is just his speculation, as for whether it is true, he does not know at the moment.

"The plan now is to understand the Forbidden Sea first, and then find a way to find out the whereabouts of Wushuang, and then leave here with him when the time comes. ”

Thinking of this, his gaze couldn't help but pause on Qingshan: "Maybe the clan elder in his mouth should know something......"

At this time, several figures swept in the distance, and the leader was a middle-aged man wearing animal skins and powerful arms: "Qingshan, are you okay?"

"Daddy!"

Seeing the people, Qingshan was immediately overjoyed, and then led a few people to greet him, and said very excitedly: "Dad, we are all fine, why are you here?"
