154. The secret in the thorn bush

After a bloodbath, most of the explorers in the Xuanhuang Tomb have been sacrificed, and they have been transformed into nutrients to nourish this mountain range.

After a short period of recuperation, the surviving team continued its march up the mountain.

The purpose of their trip was to climb to the highest peak and find the treasure left by Venerable Xuanhuang, so they had to be mentally prepared before coming in.

But Rao is like this, just one night later, the cruelty of Xuanhuang Tomb still made many people's psychological defense begin to collapse.

All night,

That's the screams of the whole night.

Last night, the moonlight was like a wash, although it was not as good as the daytime vision, but it could barely see the distant affairs clearly.

The bodies that were grabbed by the thorn bushes, and finally burst into a bloody dance, were like a heavy hammer, knocking on the psychological defense line of everyone present.

Some of the people who were less able to bear it were already sore and weak, and they couldn't wait to leave this terrible place in a hurry.

Xuanhuang Venerable, Xuanhuang Tomb, when the tomb is opened, the rabbit welcomes the door.

This is a song that has come out of nowhere, and has attracted generations of strong people to die first.

Fight, and the spirit will become a god emperor.

With such a mentality, almost every time the Xuanhuang Tomb is opened, it can attract countless spiritual generals and above powerhouses to come to explore.

But in the end.....

Nine times out of ten, these people who came to explore were left in this place, and even if they were lucky enough to get out, they didn't actually get much out of it.

And

Never heard of that person coming to this grave a second time.

By the time they left the place, most of them were in a state of madness.

But even so, it still didn't discourage everyone from coming to explore.

There is no shortcut to cultivation,

It can only rely on slow penance, or the assistance of natural treasures, spell formations, and elixirs.

If you have neither an ascetic heart nor a strong financial support behind you, then you are destined to become powerless.

If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, even if you are a commoner who does not have much strength, you can enjoy a peaceful life.

But it's clear that

The current way of the world is not the kind of prosperous world where you can enjoy peace and tranquility.

If you want to survive in this troubled world, you must rely on real strength and fists.

If you don't have the strength, it's really not as good as a peace dog.

Under such high pressure, everyone's goal of survival has become better, bigger, and stronger.

But.....

As in any era, the gap between rich and poor is a gulf that is difficult to cross.

People with money and resources will naturally get twice the result with half the effort when they cultivate, not to mention that they are not at the starting line, and even some people are at the end of the line as soon as they are born.

That's the end, but even the referee is his father, so it's really cruel.

Rich people are able to play with resources in a way that the poor can't.

But fortunately, God has left a way for those who do not have resources.

That's they can play with their lives.

The poor are not afraid of death, they are afraid of living like this.

Therefore, in Liaozhai Continent, a place where strength is respected, once the tomb of this kind of Spirit Emperor and Spirit Venerable powerhouse appears, it will definitely be a holy place where countless people flock to it.

"Capone, shall we stop and wait for them?" Xie Bao glanced behind him from time to time, very worried about his sister's safety.

"It's okay, they can catch up." Capone didn't know how many people were still climbing the mountain around, so he couldn't rest.

Once you rest, it's easy to be overtaken by other teams.

If you are late in the end, all the efforts you have made before will be in vain.

"Xie Bao, I don't understand your sister, why don't you want to let someone know her identity?" Capone asked curiously.

Xie Bao, Xie Zhen, and the Alang Mountain Range that he came to with Capone.

When she was on the road, Xie Zhen specially reminded Capone not to let anyone know her true identity, so Disan never knew about the existence of these two people.

In her opinion, it was nothing more than two accompanying sergeants in the ranks.

"My sister is a very low-key person, and she is kind by nature, and she doesn't like to make trouble for others." When Xie Bao mentioned his sister, his resolute face had a hint of tenderness.

Even if he is an iron-blooded man, he also has a warm side that belongs to him.

"You say, will they fight?" Capone Road.

"Probably not, my sister doesn't like to fight with people!"

"Dessan is a spicy girl." Capone smiled playfully: "I always thought something would happen to these two people, believe it or not?" ”

Xie Bao shook his head and didn't speak again.

In fact, he didn't know much about Disan, and although he was confident in his sister's strength, he didn't want his sister to fall into any danger.

"Alright, let's hurry up, when we're done with this trip, you two brothers and sisters will be able to return to your Treasure Pavilion."

The two glanced at each other and led the team to continue to the mountain.

.............

"It's so ruthless!!"

Lu Wu carried the mountain axe in his left hand and the dagger in his right hand, and walked extremely carefully with every step.

The place where he was completely dark, surrounded by sharp thorn bushes.

Although the screams were much less, the blood on the ground still reminded him of what had happened here before.

Lu Wu walked forward cautiously, swinging the mountain axe constantly, slowly opening a road that could be passed.

The speed of this movement was so slow that he couldn't even tell the direction.

It was no longer important to go up or down, and the most important thing for him now was to find a safe place to fix it first.

Continuing to walk forward for a distance, Lu Wu gradually realized that something was wrong.

He inadvertently cut off a thorn bush, put it in his hand and touched it, only to find that the thorn bush was full of young shoots, obviously just grown.

"These thorns grow on their own, and they are extremely fast."

Lu Wu was a little shocked, he recalled the situation he had seen at the fork in the road.

The five roads, except the one he chose, were covered with these thorns.

He had always thought that it should be some kind of animal that killed those people, or some unknown creature guarding the Xuanhuang Tomb.

But now it seems,

It is these thorn bushes that grow on their own that kill people's lives.

"It seems that as long as you choose those four paths, there will be a possibility of being stabbed by thorn bushes."

There were also several identical caves before, and now that I think about it, except for the cave he chose, the others are definitely hidden murderous intentions.

What was Venerable Xuanhuang's purpose in doing this?

Could it be to screen out tomb robbers?

Probably not.

Lu Wu thinks,

If he is a peerless powerhouse in the Spirit Venerable realm, then when choosing a grave, he must not want anyone to disturb him.

Then the trap laid is absolutely as vicious as it can be, and it is absolutely impossible to leave any way for these grave stealing and digging guys.

But this is not the case with the Xuanhuang Tomb,

Over here....

It seems that he deliberately left a way out.

"What is Venerable Xuanhuang's purpose in doing this?"
