Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang Palace, stood on the steps of the one hundred and twenty floors, looked slightly, felt the howling wind of Xianyang, and sighed.

Get the cold tears, and all this can be over.

The little fox Daji smelled Yingzheng's breath, rushed out of Xianyang Palace, lay at Yingzheng's feet, and called softly.

But this time, Ying Zheng ignored her. So she lay quietly and no longer noisy.

Bai Qi, the white god of death, has been following behind Yingzheng, standing silently and not disturbing.

The white of the god of death on the war demon armor dissipated in the air for no reason, turning back into that deep dark blue, and the two demon-like batwing wings also converged and turned back into cloaks-Bai Qi lifted his awakening, and then said silently: "Ah Zheng, I have been delayed in the palace for more than ten days, and our army should arrive in Lingcheng soon-I have to go." ”

"Hmm...... If you delay for too long, it will make Xiang Yu and Liu Bang suspicious......" Ying Zheng had already stared at him, and said softly, "You go-bring Arthur, Zhong Wuyan and 100,000 Praetorian Guards, as well as the corpse demon ......"

"The frontal battlefield is entirely up to you......"

"Don't worry! Zheng, I'll help you defeat all your enemies! Bai Qi looked at Yingzheng and said in a firm tone, "Then I'll leave ......."

Bai Qi glanced at Ying Zheng deeply, and then walked down the steps step by step.

Suddenly, a long howl came from afar, and I saw a string of black afterimages flashing on the palace ground, and the ghost leopard, which was as black as the night, appeared in front of Bai Qi, lying down, and roaring silently.

Bai Qi stretched out his hand and pressed the huge head of the ghost leopard, and then straddled it on its back.

"Ah Qi ......" Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Bai Qi who was covered with war demon armor, and said slowly, "Follow me...... Do you have any regrets? ”

"Nope!" Bai Qi raised his head, stared at Ying Zheng on the one hundred and twenty steps, and said without hesitation, "I have never regretted following you, and I will never regret it!" ”

Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, and then said, "This-may be the last time we meet......"

"You're going to make it! Amasa. Bai Qi said firmly to Ying Zheng, "I will also persevere, until you succeed!" ”

"You're going to reign over the whole world!"

Ying Zheng stared at the endless dark blue sky above, was silent for a moment, and then said to Bai Qi: "Go." ”

So Bai Qi lightly pressed the head of the ghost leopard with his hand, and the ghost leopard immediately turned around quickly and rushed in the direction of the palace gate.

Seeing the white fluttering dark blue cloak gradually disappear in the field of vision, Ying Zheng also turned around and walked towards the Xianyang Palace.

- Black ground, Afang Palace -

In the silence and cold darkness, only a glow of fire-colored light shone brightly.

Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan walked quietly along the unfinished corridor towards the depths of Afang Palace, and every palace pavilion they passed was a blank with only an outer outline and an empty interior, and all they walked under their feet was bare land.

The gray-haired wolf stared at two bright yellow eyes and sniffed sharply, patrolling around the two of them, and whenever it saw something suspicious, it would run over to look and sniff.

"We have sneaked into the Afang Palace very deep, and all we see are empty embryos, and we have not seen anything suspicious, nor have we found Bian Que......" Mulan said with a staring eyebrow, "It's really strange......

"Hmm...... It's really a little strange......" Zhang Liangliang lit up the fire-colored halo on his hand, carefully examining the wall along the road.

There is no whitewash on the wall, it is a simple rough stone wall, and there is nothing worth observing, and on the ground, there is black soil that has not even paved the floor, and there is no useful information to give Zhang Liang.

However, it was actually good that the walls and floors were so rough that there was no way to hide the defensive measures of the machine - which saved them a lot of heart. Not to mention anything else, at least this way is relatively safe, and there will be no invisible traps that kill people.

"......Huh" Between the words, Zhang Liang found that in the afterglow of his fire-colored halo, there was a black thing lying quietly on the ground, Zhang Liang was surprised, and immediately moved his hand to the black unknown object, and used the glow of fire-colored energy to illuminate it.

It was a fist-sized black orb, the hemispherical surface of the face was grayish-white, with a solidified red-black pupil in the middle, and several pitch-black tentacles underneath it—what looked like the eyes of some large creature. However, the eyeball was broken, and on the side of its pupil, there was a deep crack that stretched to the end, and black and blue blood overflowed from the crack, dripping most of the eyeball.

While looking carefully, Zhang Liang's brows gradually furrowed.

At this time, Mulan also looked over, and when she saw the unknown eyeball lying on the ground, she couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "Ghost Eye Guard!" ”

That's right, that eyeball-like dead thing is the secret artifact of the Qin Chu royal family-the Ghost Eye Guard. The last time Mulan encountered the siege of many enemies in the Mausoleum City, it was because she was tracked down by the Ghost Eye Guard, so she had a strong aversion to this evil thing that could hide in the shadows and silently monitor. So she recognized this thing at a glance.

"Hmm...... Qin Chu's secret artifact, the Ghost Eye Guard, is fortunately dead...... But we were still careless, and when we came in, we completely ignored the existence of this kind of thing, and in such an important place, they would definitely place the Ghost Eye Guards to monitor the Janissary Guards......" Zhang Liang said with a solemn face, he was now doubting whether their whereabouts were being monitored by other living Ghost Eye Guards, and reported to Ying Zheng and Bian Que, but after thinking about it, Zhang Liang found a contradiction again:

"No, although we ignored the existence of the Ghost Eye Guard, but before I came in, I had already diffused my perception to probe the situation of the entire Afang Palace, and if there was the existence of the Ghost Eye Guard, I would definitely be able to detect it—unless there were no Ghost Eye Guards, or or, all of the Ghost Eye Guards were dead!"

Zhang Liang stared at the dead ghost-eyed guard on the ground, and his face became solemn unconsciously: "The ghost-eyed guards are all dead...... Could it be that there are other invaders besides us? ”

Listening to Zhang Liang's inference, Mulan, who looked suspicious, just wanted to speak, but stopped dumbly.

Zhang Liang's hand suddenly pressed on Mulan's shoulder, signaling her not to make a sound. At that moment, he subconsciously spread his perception, only a small range, but he greatly improved the acuity of perception, and finally noticed a strange aura in the darkness of this corridor where he couldn't see his fingers—here, there was a third person!

So Zhang Liang was silent, and motioned for Mulan to be quiet too, but only for a moment, Zhang Liang immediately said: "By the way, Lan Lan, has the strange illness on your body been cured, will the magic blue in your body spontaneously dissipate?" This time, Zhang Liang did not lower the volume of his speech, and changed the topic.

"It's not good, but when I left the mausoleum, Liu Bang, the king of Han, gave me another piece of blue heart, and there is a new blue heart that continues to release the magic blue to provide consumption, and there will be no problems in a short period of time......" Of course, Mulan heard that Zhang Liang was deliberately changing the topic in order to divert the other party's attention, so she naturally cooperated with Zhang Liang, sang and harmonized with him, and pretended to have a conversation.

But the gray-haired Kui Wolf walking around on the side couldn't see people's minds or understand human words, and when Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan pretended to talk, it stared at the two dumb dark green eyes and crawled to the side of the dead ghost eye guard, sniffed vigorously, and then looked embarrassed (there is a psychological shadow of the gray-haired Kui wolf here: Ah, what the hell, it stinks like a dog...... ）

But the embarrassed gray wolf sniffed, but its eyes suddenly lit up, only to see its slowly undulating body, the tip of its nose keenly probed, and then suddenly for a moment, the gray-haired wolf stopped moving, and his two eyes stared at a fork in the road next to the road with a ghostly light.

Seeing the gray-haired wolf's reaction, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan, who were deliberately chatting, silently flashed their eyes, and then continued to talk.

As they spoke, their eyes quietly shifted to the direction of the gray wolf's gaze.

"Spirits? Barrier" and "Rush Blade" - without warning, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan made an instant move - Zhang Liang sealed with one hand, the magic blue surged, and the fire-colored energy barrier stood at the fork in the road, Hua Mulan pulled out the giant sword, and rushed straight to the fork with a sharp sword qi in cherry red, and a sword qi burst out instantly, and at the same time, the giant sword slashed out horizontally.

- But, nothing hit - Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan were both shocked, and under the glow of the fire-colored light of the energy barrier, the situation of the entire fork in the road was clearly seen by them. Except for Mulan herself and another dead ghost eyeguard on the ground, there was no other figure.

It's strange, Zhang Liang's perception obviously noticed someone, and the gray wolf also noticed something unusual......

Just as the two of them looked confused, the gray-haired wolf suddenly turned his head, stared at the front of the tunnel with two dark green eyes, and roared loudly.

Hearing the call of the gray wolf, the eyes of the two moved quickly, Zhang Liang did not hesitate to open the ancient book of words and spirits, surging with magic blue energy, and woke up the words and spirits on the ancient book, only to see that the two pages of words and words emitted a large amount of fire-colored light under Zhang Liang's awakening, and countless rays of light gathered together and condensed into a fire-colored strong light that shone directly into the depths of the road.

The speed of light is beyond everything, and under the direct illumination of the fire-colored light, everything in the depths of the corridor is instantly illuminated - a man wrapped in a white robe appeared in the sight of Zhang Liang and Mulan.

The man was exposed to the vision of the two, but he didn't panic at all, just stood quietly and calmly. Zhang Liang stared at it, trying to see the face of this unknown person, but found that he was wearing a hideous and vicious dragon face mask on his face.

Through the dragon's eyes, the man's pale blue eyes stared deeply at Zhang Liang—and the ancient book of words and spirits spread out in Zhang Liang's hand.

"Rushing Blade-" When Zhang Liang and the unknown person stared at each other, Hua Mulan made a move, holding the giant sword with one hand, and condensed a body of cherry red sword qi and instantly rushed to the position where the white running man was.

But at the moment when Mulan moved, the white-robed man didn't move at all. I saw him pause a little on the ground, and the whole person escaped under the ground.

When Mulan flashed in an instant, the figure of the white-robed man had disappeared from the ground, and the sword qi that burst out from her body once again flew into the air.

Hua Mulan frowned slightly, as fast as her, and had never been dodged twice in a row, it seems that this person is not simple...... But at this moment, she was more shocked in her heart - even if that person was extraordinary and could dodge her attack, how did he manage to dodge and then disappear on the ground? This is a closed tunnel on all sides, and the ground is only bare black earth, and there is no hidden passage for him to sneak around......

"What's wrong? Lan Lan, what about others? Zhang Liang saw that the white-robed man was nowhere to be seen, so he walked over in the void and asked Mulan.

"I don't know......," Mulan shook her head and said in confusion, "Suddenly she disappeared in place." ”

"Hide in place...... Zhang Liang looked at the unanomalous black earth suspiciously, then closed his eyes, spread his perception into the void, and explored carefully.

"That's not right! He's still near us! Zhang Liang suddenly opened his eyes and said.

"Still there?" Mulan asked with a look of surprise.

At this moment, the gray-haired wolf ran to him, sniffed carefully, and then hovered his head over the place where the white-robed man had just stood.

The gray-haired wolf sniffed repeatedly, and at the same time stretched out his paws and tentatively gouged, but instead of digging the black soil, the ground rippled like water. Immediately after, a black shadow with a radius of one meter gradually appeared on the ground where the man was standing.

Looking at the dark shadow floating on the ground, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan glanced at each other suspiciously. Then Zhang Liang closed his eyes, diffusion perception to explore under the ground, a moment later, Zhang Liang opened his eyes, and said to Mulan with a firm look: "There is still a lot of space under the ground, there is no suspicious danger...... That person, too, is down there. ”

"This is supposed to be a secret passage built using the same demonic path principles as the Ghost Eye Guard."

Without much hesitation, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan jumped into the dark shadows on the ground with the gray-haired wolf.

Through that layer of pitch-black and invisible shadows, they landed in an even darker stratum space below, and a deep earthy smell greeted them. Zhang Liang opened the ancient book of words and spirits, and once again awakened the words on the page, and used their glow to merge into a bright light source.

As soon as the light shone, Zhang Liang and the others saw clearly that the stratum space they were in was actually a wide tunnel extending underground, and there were holes on both sides of the tunnel every ten meters.

The silent and long tunnel stretches far away, and the silent and dark cave doors are lined up, and in the underground space of this unique Afang Palace, anyone will feel inexplicably weird and terrifying.

Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan also subconsciously frowned, the secrets hidden in this Afang Palace may be beyond their imagination, but how many crises are buried in front of them are also unpredictable, so they hesitate in their hearts, not knowing whether they should continue to move forward.

But the gray-haired wolf is very calm, maybe it is a beast in the end, and he is used to the breath of the earth, so now after entering the underground space, he is not afraid, but feels like he has been deeply embraced by Mother Earth.

So before Zhang Liang could spread his perception to explore the situation in this layer, the gray-haired Kui Wolf ran forward curiously without a head or a brain.

Seeing the gray wolf moving forward, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan naturally didn't want to stay, and immediately followed, wanting to stop it. But the gray-haired wolf rushed in as he looked at a hole door everywhere.

"Two Ashes!" Seeing the gray wolf rushing in recklessly, Mulan immediately exclaimed. But the gray wolf's body had already submerged into the cave door, and there was no way, so Hua Mulan and Zhang Liang had to cautiously follow the cave door.

Zhang Liang pointed the ancient book that released the glow of fireflies towards the cave door, and the light shot in, immediately illuminating the entire cave.

I saw that inside the door of the cave was a square room, but there was nothing in it, it was just an empty room, and it felt like the empty Afang Palace on the ground was a temperament.

"It's an empty room again...... Mulan glanced at the empty dirt room suspiciously, and saw the gray-haired wolf lying quietly in it, so she walked straight to it and wanted to call it out.

But as soon as she stepped into the cave door, Mulan subconsciously froze, and a strange feeling turned into surprise and surged into her pupils.

"What's wrong, Lan Lan." Zhang Liang, who was walking in the void, looked back at Hua Mulan, who was stuck, and asked.

"It's so soft." Mulan said.

"Huh?" Zhang Liang's eyes were confused.

"The floor in this room is so soft." Mulan explained, her eyes subconsciously looked at her feet, and Zhang Liang also looked over - only to see Mulan take a gentle step, but her feet half stepped into the black soil on the ground, which was indeed very soft.

Zhang Liang immediately understood, so he swept his gaze away, only to find that the floor in the entire room was all fluffy soil, and if you stepped on it, you would obviously feel the softness of the ground.

Deep surprise surged up between Zhang Liang's eyebrows - "How can this be? "- The soil is soft, which is not a problem in itself, but it is on the ground. However, now Zhang Liang and Mulan are in the stratum space under the ground, and the soil under the ground has all been accumulated and squeezed under natural gravity for countless years, and its density and hardness are very large.

When she was in the tunnel outside just now, Mulan felt like she was walking on a stone slab, and she didn't bury her head in looking, and she didn't believe that she was stepping on dirt.

However, how could the ground within this cave gate be so soft? Obviously, they are all high-density soil that has been squeezed under the ground for many years, so it should be very hard.

"This soil...... It's like someone has been turned over, that's why it's so soft......" Zhang Liang looked at the fluffy black earth under him, thinking and said.

"Yes, indeed." Mulan also said in agreement, and suddenly guessed, "Could it be that something is buried in the ground?" ”

Zhang Liang nodded silently, indicating that he thought so too. So, without thinking, Zhang Liang closed his eyes and released his perception with all his strength to explore under the soil.

Zhang Liang's consciousness perception stretched out of the body, because there was no existence that was convenient for communication under the ground, so Zhang Liang raised the soul consciousness to the extreme, directly communicating with the air molecules that filled the space, through the transmission of air molecules, Zhang Liang's consciousness perception began to extend rapidly, and then penetrated the soft and thick soil layer, carefully probing all the non-soil substances buried under the soil layer.

After a few minutes, Zhang Liang slowly opened his eyes, and a deep fear emerged from his eyes.

"What's wrong? Liangliang, what do you see? Seeing Zhang Liang's solemn expression, Mulan asked anxiously.

Zhang Liang didn't answer immediately, at this time, he only heard the sound of soil turning, Hua Mulan and Zhang Liang moved their eyes, and saw the gray-haired wolf lying on the ground and sniffing for a long time, suddenly stretched out his strong front paws, and quickly gouged up on the soft soil, as if he had found something.

At this time, Hua Mulan didn't ask Zhang Liang again, just quietly watched the gray-haired Kui wolf quickly turn over the soil, and in less than a minute, a big pit was dug out on the soil, and something gradually appeared in the pit, as if it was arms and calves.

Seeing this, Mulan couldn't help but have her pupils condensed.

The gray-haired wolf grabbed his two paws, grabbed one arm casually, and dragged him out of the pit. The soil is very loose, and the gray wolf has a lot of strength, and it pulls a person up in one fell swoop...... A dead man, to be exact.

It was a corpse, barely recognizable from the shape of a grown man in his twenties, dressed in rough cloth clothes, his limbs were beginning to rot, but the most terrifying thing was - he had no head!

Headless corpses!

"Whew!" Looking at this terrifying corpse without a head, the gray-haired wolf who had cut him out was frightened and instinctively called out twice.

And Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan both had solemn silences, you know, in that soil pit, there are dozens of hands and feet protruding, you must know that this soil layer is still dozens of meters deep......

Staring at the headless corpse lying on the ground, Zhang Liang condensed his pupils and said in a deep voice: "Under the soil layer of this room, thousands of dead lives are buried......
