Five hundred meters outside the Earth Corpse Demon Cave, there is a security tower.

At this moment, there was only Chu Shangze alone in the security tower.

As for Wanxing and the others, they had already left the security tower and went to the next location at this time.

Although Chu Shangze won the favor of Wan Xinghe, Wang Zheng and others before, after all, the danger behind was enough to threaten the lives of each of them.

They didn't have time to protect themselves, and they really didn't have the energy to take care of Chu Shangze.

So he could only persuade Chu Shangze to stay.

Chu Shangze was also happy to agree.

He had planned to find a chance to get out, but he never thought that this group of people happened to provide this condition.

After Wanxing and the others left, Chu Shangze also got up and left the security tower.

And he didn't chase after Wanxing and them, but went back to the Earth Corpse Demon Cave.

As early as before, when Wan Xinghe and them were surprised that they had saved Wang Zheng, he found a detail from the corpse that was easily missed!

- On the back of the corpse there was a pattern that was only one-third long.

Chu Shangze faintly felt familiar, and naturally he didn't think that the pattern appeared randomly, so he decided to go back to the Earth Corpse Demon Cave to investigate.

......

"Ho-"

"Ho-"

Inside the Cavern of the Earth Corpse.

The remaining few ground corpse cubs gathered together tremblingly, and let out a piercing scream at Chu Shangze.

Chu Shangze frowned, as if he felt upset, and with a wave of his hand, a huge wind blade flew out suddenly.

"Sneer—"

In an instant, the entire Earth Corpse Demon Cave was quiet again.

Chu Shangze ignored the corpses and continued to go deeper.

The vision became darker and darker, and the stench grew stronger.

But all this is not a problem for Chu Shangze, and he only has doubts about the pattern in his mind now.

"Why does it feel familiar...... No, I'm just entering the secret land for the first time, how can I feel familiar?"

Click......

The sound of crisp footsteps echoed through the valley, but then it came to an abrupt end.

Chu Shangze looked at the huge bronze door blocking him expressionlessly.

And there is a pattern painted on the bronze door, which happens to be the pattern on the corpse.

Chu Shangze saw the complete pattern, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "This is—"

......

More than 10 kilometers away from the security tower.

Wanxing and others came to a dense forest.

Unlike other woodlands, this dense forest does not have a wide variety of plants and no shrubs.

Yes, it is just a tall but dry ancient tree, sparsely erected on the withered yellow ground.

Smashing the entire slope, if you roughly sweep away, there are hundreds of this ancient tree, but because of the sparse distribution, it clearly sets off a sense of desolate soil slope.

"This is the Black Cloud Forest?" Li Jun's voice sounded.

Wan Xinghe held the map in his hand, nodded and said, "According to the introduction of the map of the sect, the real ruins we are looking for are hidden in this black cloud forest. ”

"Senior Brother Wan, are the ruins really here? how do I feel here...... Panicked. A disciple said with an ugly face.

Everyone followed his line of sight, and saw that beside the ancient trees not far away, countless protruding roots glowed with a strange blood red.

The canopy of the ancient tree is covered with tiny black flower bones.

From a distance, it seems to be a thick black cloud, rendering the whole world extremely gloomy and confused.

"Isn't there any danger?" said a disciple.

Seeing the fear of these people, Li Jun sneered angrily: "If you are afraid, go back by yourself, don't hold us back." ”

As soon as these words came out, those hesitant voices immediately stopped abruptly.

"Senior Brother Li, we're just talking. Several people defended with ugly faces.

Li Jun snorted coldly, and didn't pay attention to them, but looked at Wan Xinghe, "Senior Brother Wan, without further ado, let's start." ”

Wan Xinghe nodded and looked at everyone, "I don't need to say much about the weird danger of the secret land, but we have all broken into the Earth Corpse Demon Cave, and we are only one step away from the ruins now, if you say give up, I'm afraid you will not be reconciled, so you should grit your teeth and fight." ”

"Senior Brother Wan, rest assured!"

"With great risk comes great opportunity!"

"Fight!"

The crowd regained their momentum.

Wan Xinghe nodded, and said with a smile on his face: "Then act according to the previous plan!" Everyone takes care of each other in case something changes!"

"Understood!"

It didn't take long for the group to start searching for this black cloud forest.

According to their sect's research and estimation over the years, the real treasure in this secret place is hidden in the Black Cloud Forest.

No one knows what the real gem is.

The inheritance of the ancient sects?

Ritual artifacts of antiquity?

Or is it a secret?

All kinds of speculation are possible, because this kind of thing has been happening all the time since the secret place was discovered.

The Hengshui Sect also paid the lives of countless elite disciples to get such a result.

Otherwise, they would not have entered the secret land in advance, fearing that this secret land would be taken by other sects first.

"Senior Brother Wan, Senior Brother Li, look over there!"

Wang Zheng seemed to have discovered something, and while shouting, his arm pointed somewhere.

Wan Xinghe and Li Jun looked in the direction Wang Zheng pointed to, and saw a huge tree like the sky standing there in the gloomy smoke.

Because of the angle, the other disciples didn't see the reason from this giant tree.

And Wan Xinghe and Li Jun just saw it-

"Tree Hole!"

In an instant, as Wan Xinghe and Li Jun's figures plundered, other disciples also rushed over.

The group's eyes were fixed on this giant tree with a wide open hole.

With the faint light, it was obvious to everyone that inside the large cave, a steep staircase meandered into the endless darkness.

No one knew where the steps led, but there was no doubt that it must be the entrance to somewhere.

Deep! Weird!

It's like a bloody mouth that has opened its mouth and is waiting for its prey to come to the door!

Staring at the big cave for a moment, a disciple's voice trembled: "Senior Brother Wan, we ...... What to do?"

"Go down!"

"Go down?" The questioning disciple was stunned for a moment, looked at the deep and strange tree hole, and said with a somewhat pale face: "Don't you need to look at other places? Maybe this is not the entrance to the ruins?"

But at this time, Li Jun stood up, looked around, and his voice was a little firm, "The five elements are good, this is the best feng shui treasure! I dare to conclude that there must be some secret hidden behind this tree hole......

Li Jun's words are self-evident.

Even if it's not a relic in it, there must be some treasure hidden in it.

To go or not to go?

The other disciples gritted their teeth, "But according to the orders of the senior brother." ”

He was the first to step down the steep steps in the hollow of the tree, followed by the rest of the group.

The cold wind was slowing, and the black cloud-like dirt slope was calm again.

But it didn't take long.

Out of nowhere, there was a sudden explosion of collapse.

Is it Chu Shangze?!

(It's a bit astringent, and I'm concentrating on the layout for the appearance in the back, how can Master Chu's appearance be vigorous, isn't it?)
