Osawa Kushui Ling, this is a place where there is a huge difference from the beginning of the design.

Except for one upper city that is proudly independent of the outside, the gap between the rich and the poor in the other nine lower cities is very large.

The Shacheng, Wucheng, and Jiuqing Cities surrounding Kushui Lake are the richest cities in the entire Kushui Territory, and they are not much better than Kushui City. In addition, the other six lower cities, in layman's terms, are struggling to make ends meet, and there is a huge gap between the two sides that does not have any possibility of surpassing.

Of course, this is before the confrontation quest quest is resolved.

As long as the dungeon under the Bitter Water Lake is successfully resolved, the entire Bitter Water Territory will undergo earth-shaking changes. At the very least, with the exception of the three lower cities that surround the bitter water lake, the other six lower cities will be less miserable and much better.

It is located about a few kilometers southeast of Kushui Lake, and there is a dirt slope.

This dirt slope is full of huge stones, these stones are as hard as iron, ordinary tools cannot be cut at all, so it is a worthless place for mortals in the world, so no one wants to come over on weekdays.

However, at this time, this place, known as the Stone Forest, welcomed two guests.

These are two young men.

The person on the left looks mediocre, but his eyes are very bright, and he is full of restraint, and in the eyes of mortals, he is just a sparse and ordinary rich boy, but if he falls in the eyes of a monk, he will be shocked that the momentum of this person is extraordinary.

And the person on the right, his facial features are very delicate, if it weren't for the fact that his skin showed an iron blue, his eyes were indifferent, and he felt extremely terrifying, this person could be called handsome.

These two people are naturally Ye Kong and Yi Ran.

It took nearly a month to finally arrive at Daze Fangcheng by floating boat from Nanchi Fangcheng, and then it took more than half a month to arrive at Kushui City from Daze Fangcheng, and then took the carriage of the post station from Kushui City to Shacheng, and it took almost three months before and after.

"Looks like no one has discovered this place yet." Ye Kong glanced around the surroundings before speaking.

Originally, he was quite worried that this copy of the ruins would be discovered, after all, the vision caused by the opening of the gray death realm should have appeared a long time ago, and he came all the way from Anfang, and it was already half a year when he arrived here, so even Ye Kong actually had no confidence.

But now, when he saw that the environment here in this stone forest had not been destroyed, he was finally relieved.

There are three entrances to this underground palace, one on the outskirts of Shacheng, Wucheng, and Jiuqing City, and it was originally after the city lord of these nine cities issued relevant tasks, and the people who received the tasks would finally find the location of these entrances through a series of clues.

Because Ye Kong knew this plot, he didn't need to go through the process again, but came to this place directly with Yi Ran.

The stones here in the Stone Forest are real boulders. The smallest of these boulders is about two meters in diameter, the largest is even four or five meters, the lightest weighs about two tons, and the largest ones even exceed ten tons.

It's just that these boulders can't be mined by ordinary means, and the cultivation world doesn't need such worthless stones as materials at all, so no one comes here at all, otherwise a place like the Stone Forest would have been mined up a long time ago, and the entrance to this underground palace can't be discovered until now.

Ye Kong obviously knew a lot about the stone forest, because he came directly to a boulder without the slightest hesitation and inspection.

This boulder is not too big in the stone forest, but it is not small either, the overall diameter is about three meters, and the weight is not very clear, but even if an ordinary Tongxuan Realm monk wants to split this boulder without taking advantage of the weapon, it is impossible.

However, for Ye Kong, whose cultivation has already reached the breakthrough realm, this is not a problem.

Instead of destroying the boulder, he reached out and pushed it aside.

With a loud bang, the boulder was quickly moved to the side, revealing a tunnel that had been blocked by the boulder.

There is no smell in the tunnel, on the contrary, the air is very clean, and it is clear that there is a very good ventilation system. And what is even more surprising is that this tunnel is not very dim, the stone walls on both sides are covered with fluorescent grass, and the whole tunnel exudes a soft light blue brilliance, which looks very hazy beauty.

Ye Kong glanced around, and after confirming that no one was following, he walked into this tunnel with Yi Ran.

Once inside, the temperature around you starts to get cooler.

This is the result of too much dead air gathering in this dungeon.

Although this tunnel will probably have to walk another one or two kilometers before officially entering this underground palace, the dead qi condensed in the underground palace is not a joke, after all, there are thousands of years of dead qi gathered here, although it is much weaker than the gray death realm, but this underground palace is a real corpse raising place after all. Therefore, the closer you get to this dungeon, the lower the temperature will naturally become, and in the end, even a Circle Realm monk may not be able to support it.

However, among the people present, Ye Kong himself is a ghost cultivator, and this body is just a shell of him, and even the strength of the shell has reached the height of breaking the realm, so he is naturally not afraid of this temperature.

And Zhen Ran is a genuine corpse cultivator, this kind of death qi is simply a perfect tonic for him, it can be said that if he fights with Yi Ran in this environment, he can even exert his combat power beyond the Tongxuan Realm, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Because this dungeon doesn't seem to have been discovered yet, Ye Kong and Yi Ran have gone very smoothly along the way, and there have been no accidents.

After a short time, Ye Kong and Yi Ran quickly reached the end of the tunnel.

Although the challenge of this dungeon is not too high, it is just a copy of the Mysterious Realm, but it also has an official name: Tomb of the Dead.

However, at this time, Ye Kong and Yi Ran had not really entered the Death Tomb Underground Palace, and they were only in the outermost area at present.

After entering through the three tunnels, the final meeting point is outside the gate of this dungeon.

Originally, according to the mission sequence, teams of players from three cities will meet for the first time here. However, when passing through the tunnel before, I had to go through a lot of traps, so basically the players who arrived here must have been damaged, and then linked to the previous mission, a few hints from the task publisher, if the player can't hold his breath here, there will inevitably be an infighting.

This is also the scene that Ye Kong hoped to appear when he first designed it.

He's done a lot of insidious foreshadowing here.

If there is indeed an infighting between players here, then the next time you enter the Dead Tomb Dungeon, it will lead to a sharp increase in the difficulty of danger.

Because in the underground palace, there are a lot of yin corpses. Although the scale is not as daunting as that of the Gray Dead Realm, the number is definitely not small. And guarding the deepest part of the dungeon is a corpse king equivalent to the cultivation of the Circle Realm - for players who only have the cultivation of the Xuan Realm when they entered this dungeon at that time, it is almost impossible to deal with this corpse in a tough way.

Therefore, Ye Kong can only outwit in this setting.

After all, the mission is only to investigate the reason why the water of Kushui Lake has become bitter, so as long as you bypass the entanglement and attack of the Corpse King, and destroy the tombstone of the Death Tomb Underground Palace, the mission will be completed.

However, this time, Ye Kong wanted to bring Yi Ran here to absorb all the dead qi of the entire dungeon, so naturally he didn't plan to destroy the tombstone.

Ye Kong relied on his enough understanding of this dungeon, so he walked all the way down from the beginning of entering the tunnel, and perfectly avoided all the traps, so neither he nor Yi Ran was injured. While walking out of the tunnel, Ye Kong had already thoroughly thought about this dungeon action in his mind, and came up with a very perfect plan: he was going to completely destroy the other two passages, leaving only the passage of the stone forest, and would also use the existing resources in his hand to rearrange it to ensure that he could quietly cultivate to the Circle Realm here, or even to break through the Realm Cultivation.

Although this process may take a long time, Ye Kong believes that it is all worth it.

It's just that when he walked out of the tunnel and saw the main hall door of the underground palace, his face changed slightly.

Outside the arch of the main hall of the Death Tomb Underground Palace, there are hundreds of corpses with iron complexions lying horizontally.

The strength of each of these Yin Corpses is not weaker than that of Ran, but they are just corpses without wisdom and thinking at all, so in fact, their combat effectiveness is definitely inferior to Ran. But even so, if these Yin Corpses gathered into hundreds of corpses, even if they were Ran, they could only retreat.

But now, the dense and powerful Yin corpse corpses are almost piled up in the entire palace square, and most of them are still fragmented, from this alone, it can be seen that the strength of the people who slaughtered these Yin corpses is definitely far above these Yin corpses, and it can even be said that they form a complete crush.

Why did such a powerful monk break into this dungeon?

Ye Kong's face was extremely puzzled.

This underground palace has almost no benefits to speak of except for being able to unravel the mystery of the bitterness of the bitter water of the bitter water lake, and the dead air here is so strong that ordinary monks avoid it, how can anyone be willing to come to this kind of place?

It's just that Ye Kong didn't expect that because he knew all the secrets of this dungeon, he knew that this dungeon had no benefit at all.

But for other monks, a dungeon that has never been discovered, this temptation alone is difficult to hold.

"I hope the other party hasn't destroyed the core stone monument yet." Ye Kong gritted his teeth, and then said in a deep voice, "Let's go." ”

After that, he rushed to the palace with Yiran quickly.
