……

Whoa!

The sound of a mirror shattering resounded through the banks of the canyon.

A black hole with a diameter of three meters, an irregular edge, and a bottomless depth, appeared over the river bank without warning.

As soon as the black hole was formed, a terrifying suction force emanated from it.

Within 100 meters below the black hole, a large amount of air, vegetation, soil, rocks, river water, and unlucky little life forms rose from the ground and were sucked into the black hole.

Seeing that the suction range of the black hole was about to expand and devour more matter, two young men in turquoise robes suddenly walked out of the black hole.

After the two walked out, the black hole lost the power to maintain its own existence, and collapsed in an instant, as if a broken mirror was reunited, and the position of the black hole was refilled by the power of space.

If it weren't for the fluctuations left by the power of space, and the mess formed by the many things below losing their traction and falling to the ground and piling up, there would not even be any traces of the existence of the three-meter-diameter black hole.

The two people who walked out of the black hole seemed to be surprised by the scene in front of them, they ignored them, looked grim, and walked into the air.

Both of them were wearing long swords and turquoise robes.

The difference is that one of them is empty-handed, and the other is holding a compass-like object, but both of them seem to walk with ease in the air.

The person holding the compass in his hand pinched the trick from time to time, injected mana into the compass in his hand, and then went in a certain direction as if he had been guided by some existence.

The other was slightly behind, his eyes closed as if sensing something, and he followed half a beat slower.

The two young men walked and stopped, and it took less than two minutes to come to the simple thatched hut that the brothers Wang and Wushi had built on the protruding cliff wall, where they had stayed for more than 20 years.

The two of them are one in front of the other,

Descend from mid-air and step into the grass hut.

If a third person is present, a closer look at the feet of the two can show that they seem to be down-to-earth, but in fact the soles of their shoes are always about an inch away from the ground.

Nothing increases, nothing decreases,

A very fixed distance is maintained.

This detail is difficult to spot without careful observation.

At first glance, they look like they're really down-to-earth, but the soles of their shoes don't touch the ground at all, as if the ground will contaminate their clean soles.

This kind of operation, which looks inconspicuous, is actually undoubtedly a very clever embodiment of the subtle manipulation of power.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, these two men with cold expressions and a cold temperament are not weak hands at all.

About five minutes later, the two of them returned to the outside of the hut.

"There is no reaction to the ban on the compass, how is the situation on your side." The young man with the compass in his hand, that is, Luo Tianzuo, spoke to his companion in a voice that did not fluctuate emotionally.

The other man finally opened his eyes and said:

"I thoroughly perceived and explored the ground and mid-air for hundreds of miles near Node No. 9, as well as the land more than ten miles deep. However, there are only a few places that are somewhat anomalous, and the rest are non-anomalous. There is a good chance that you will find useful clues in those places, come with me. ”

The two of them quickly left the simple thatched hut one after the other, and this time the empty-handed man led the way, and soon came to the deep pit that Chen Li had smashed out of the flight and landing failure with the two old men.

Lin Sen, who closed his eyes empty-handed, closed his eyes again, and said while sensing it: "This is one of the places with the strongest breath, roughly more than four hours ago, close to five hours ago, there were three breaths of living people who stayed near here for a long time. ”

"Two of them should be the guards, but their qi is very disordered and impetuous, they should be seriously injured, I can't be sure if it was the person who left the breath that injured them, but it is certain that the person must know something, perhaps, the other party also knows the traces of the ban."

As he spoke, he pointed to the puddle of ash not far away, "If I am not mistaken, this should be the last trace of the death of one of the caretakers, and he stayed here until the last moment of his life." ”

"Senior Brother Lin, if I'm not mistaken, those two caretakers have a third-order cultivation, right?" The young man with the compass in his hand asked.

Lin Sen didn't open his eyes, nodded and affirmed: "Yes, although there is only a third-order, but in this environment, a third-order cultivator can already be regarded as a famous little master." ”

He added: "What's more, with the ban in hand, to obtain the prohibition bonus, ordinary fourth-order late-stage cultivators may not be able to cause them a life crisis. ”

"Ha, hearing you say this, I'm more and more curious about the death of those two, who would run to the forbidden node where birds don't, and then kill two third-order guards?" Luo Xianzuo's cold character collapsed instantly, and his eyes were full of eagerness.

"Senior Brother Luo, be cautious!" Lin Sen suddenly opened his eyes, looked at him solemnly, and said with an expressionless and cold face:

"Our mission this time is to retrieve the ban, and by the way, investigate the death of those two people, the lives of just two third-order minor cultivators, but so, remember not to reverse the priority of the mission."

Luo Xianzuo, who had collapsed his personality, touched his nose and looked away with some embarrassment, "Look at what I said, I will definitely not be confused with this kind of basic question, Lin Sen, you are too serious." ”

Lin Sen looked at him expressionlessly, with a grim expression: "Don't talk nonsense, activate the compass, and after solving this task, I will go back to retreat." ”

“…… Good. Touching his nose, Luo Xianzuo restrained his expression, and his expression also became cold: "I know." ”

He raised his hand and played a few tricks, and the compass flowed brightly, and then he took out a green stone and crushed it.

A pale green fluorescence visible to the naked eye emanates from the shattered stone slag and is absorbed by the compass.

As soon as he threw the compass, the compass, which was only the size of a palm, suddenly rose in the wind, and the yin and yang fish of the Taiji diagram in the middle kept spinning.

At this time, the compass floating in mid-air was already half a zhang in diameter, and there was a projection-like image on the Yin-Yang Fish Taiji Diagram in the middle, which was slowly generated from scratch.

This projection is exactly the scene of a radius of ten miles after being reduced dozens of times, or more precisely, a microcosm of a few hours ago.

In the projection, it can be seen relatively clearly that a few hours ago, the big pit where they are now is still a flat land.

The two waited patiently, quietly watching the projection, and time passed quietly.

About half an hour has passed, and the picture is still silent.

Waiting for the air is undoubtedly very patient, and staring at the empty picture is even more so, Lin Sen couldn't help but urge: "Don't waste time, can you speed up the projection?" ”

Luo Xianzuo didn't answer, but he took out a green stone and crushed it, and played a series of tricks, and the image of the compass suddenly jumped forward as if it had turned on an accelerator.

"Stop! Retrogression! Slowly go backwards! The slowest kind! Half a minute passed, and Lin Sen suddenly opened his mouth and pointed to a certain place.

Luo Xianzuo silently adjusted the image, and the picture was regressed by him frame by frame, and ten minutes passed, but nothing was found.

Seeing Lin Sen holding his breath and observing carefully, Luo Xianzuo didn't say anything, but continued to slowly regress patiently.

"This is it!" Suddenly, Luo Xianzuo's expression froze, and he noticed something.

Without being commanded, he directly zoomed in and zoomed in to readjust the speed.

In the picture, I saw that on the land that was originally flat, there was a sudden splash of smoke and dust, among which there were gravel and sand flying.

The two stared at the smoke and dust in the picture, not daring to be distracted at all. Because they all know that the point is coming soon.

Because it was a multiple of the slowdown, it took nearly a minute for the smoke and dust in the picture to gradually dissipate, but at this time neither of them cared about this.

After the smoke and dust faded away, I saw a big pit appear in the same place, and a tall figure slowly walked out of it with two contrasting thin figures in both hands.

It was that mysterious person and two caretakers who had cultivated to the third order.

Without waiting for Lin Sen's urging, Luo Xianzuo wanted to control the enlargement of the picture, but he was stunned to find that he couldn't see the appearance of the three people in the picture clearly.

"What's going on?" Luo Xianzuo was stunned.

He had used the compass so many times, and he had never encountered such a situation where no one's face could be seen clearly.

At this time, Lin Sen also turned his gaze, and it was obvious that he had also discovered this problem.

The two looked at each other.

"Keep watching." Luo Xianzuo shook his head helplessly.

Lin Sen nodded, and continued to pay attention to the image with an expressionless face.

I saw the tall figure come out of the pit, and casually threw the two people in his hand on the edge of the pit.

And he himself cleaned up and patted his robe......

…………

Nearly an hour passed.

After watching all the images that could be viewed, the two were silent.

"Senior Brother Luo, can the compass continue to track that person?"

"No, there are only two shadow chasing stones left that I received this time, at most I can only see it like before. I really don't know what the origin of that mysterious man is, and the consumption of shadow chasing stones is so large. ”

"So we're going to go back and report it?" Lin Sen asked.

"What else could I do? Now that we have lost the aura of the death escape of those two caretakers, and the compass does not know what is wrong with the injunction, there is no better way. ”

"That's it, but you and I may be deducted from my contributions, and I'm going to bleed once..."

Speaking of this, Lin Sen's already cold expression became even more grim at this moment, "Damn mysterious man!" Damn the caretaker! ”

"What is there to deal with the dead?" Luo Xianzuo smiled, "The sect will not give up the ban." ”

"Let's go, let's go back and make a difference."

The compass shot out a blue light, and the space above the two of them suddenly shattered, and a swarthy and bottomless black hole appeared.

However, unlike the previous black hole, this black hole does not have the slightest suction.

The two figures floated into the air, stepping into the black hole step by step.

The next moment.

The black hole disappears.
