The cavern beneath the lava was dark and there was not a single glimmer of light in sight. I don't know what the stone slab under my feet is made of, and when I step on it, it makes a low sound, not like footsteps, but like the sound of a small hammer hitting a stone.

Wu Xie walked a few steps, only to hear the echo stirring in the cave, spreading farther and farther. I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart, and my whole body was full of energy, wanting to hold myself up.

Who knew that he had just activated the Gang Qi, and he felt a strange force around him surging with the Gang Qi, and it turned into a thunderous loud noise in an instant, roaring in his ears, shaking him dizzy, and almost falling to his head. What's going on?! Wu Xie hurriedly withdrew his qi, and sure enough, the loud noise gradually subsided. He calmed down a little, carefully observed the surrounding rock walls, and sure enough, he saw small lines that he hadn't noticed before.

The lines looked inconspicuous at first glance, but when he tried to condense his qi again, they suddenly emitted a faint dark red light, followed by a deafening roar.

This time he was prepared, so naturally he didn't get hit. But his interest suddenly rose and he took a closer look.

After observing for a while, he was sure that this was indeed a formation design that he had never seen before. It confirmed the conjecture in my heart - this place is the relic left by the ancient monk, and the ancient monk's lineage has been annihilated in the long years and has not been passed down.

Otherwise, this kind of means, which is usually extremely inconspicuous, but can sense the Gang Qi to make a loud noise, can be used to make a Yin person at a critical moment, and it is impossible not to remind it in the record of the formation in this door!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask Du Xin, who was in a daze next to the Sacred Spring, but Du Xin had never heard of this method.

"What an unexpected surprise! I didn't expect it to be a relic from before the Holy Emperor Era!" Wu Xie couldn't help but mutter, "It's like I was going to hunt a pheasant for dinner tomorrow, but I ran into a tiger ......."

Of course, with Wu Jie's ability, even if he encounters a tiger, it will only be him who eats the tiger, not the tiger who eats him.

But...... The relics of this ancient monk are apparently well preserved, and they have not been completely destroyed in the long years, which is indeed a surprise.

Among the monks, there are many people who are keen to study history, especially the study of ancient monks, and it is an absolutely high-end and high-grade hobby. If Wu Xie can find something valuable from this ruin and bring it out, the benefit may be higher than catching one or two demon beasts!

Thinking like this, he took out the jade slip used to preserve the information, and carefully photographed the surrounding formations.

When holding the jade slip, I couldn't help but think of Bai Youcai who was guarding the crater. That guy is indeed very talented, and the jade slip he took out at the beginning was actually very sketchy, which is equivalent to just a catalog!

If anyone sees the jade slip and grabs it, it will only be an extremely sloppy piece of information, and there are errors in key places.

When Wu Xie gave them some elixirs that could help the Pure True Qi, Bai Youcai made a temporary jade slip for him, and there was a lot of detailed information in that jade slip, especially about this cave.

However, Bai Youcai and the others were not Gang Refining Cultivators, so they didn't find this trap specifically targeting Gang Refining Gang or higher realm cultivators, which was also reasonable.

The formation on the rock wall seems complicated, but in fact, there are traces to follow. After walking about a hundred feet, I saw that the formation began to repeat. In order to ensure that nothing was missed, Wu Xie specially photographed more than four formations for study.

This formation alone should be of great value......

He thought to himself as he cautiously walked through the cavern.

According to Bai Youcai, there is no danger in the cave. But he also emphasized that when he passed by this cave, he always felt a feeling of horror, as if there was some great danger hidden. So he reminded Wu Xie to be careful and be on guard at any time.

Wu Jie's skills far exceeded Bai Youcai's imagination, and it is said that since even Bai Youcai and others can survive, he will definitely not be in danger. But in line with the principle of being careful to walk the ship of ten thousand years, he still cast several talisman spells one after another, and then slowed down and moved forward carefully.

Inside the dark cavern, a low echo kept ringing, and it was heard all the way into the distance.

At a fork in the cavern, there was an inconspicuous crack, and the inside of the crack was twisted and twisted, and there were countless forks, which was like a labyrinth.

Deep in the crack, there was a cave about the size of an ordinary firewood house, and on the ground in the center of the cave, there was a red spar like blood, constantly emitting a warm light.

Next to the spar, two hideous-looking figures were facing each other.

These two guys looked like monsters, and the one on the left was a roe deer, short and obscene, with a few whiskers on his mouth. Its front teeth are so large that they even protrude from its lips, while the pair of paws, which are habitually placed on its chest, glow with a cold chill. Not to mention that behind it, there is a slender and slender tail.

Compared to this one, the one on the right is even more inhuman. Its body is slender and long, with more than a dozen pairs of claws on both sides, and it is clearly a large centipede! But upwards from his chest, he took on a slightly humanoid shape, and in the armor made of carapace, a pair of thick and powerful arms each held a sharp short knife. And its head looks more like a human, except that its eyes bulge a little and it turns in circles from time to time, it is almost the appearance of a bald man.

A low echo followed the crack, and the two youkai turned their heads in unison, looking in the direction the sound came from.

"Again...... Someone is coming again......" The monster, who was probably a rat spirit, had a fierce look on his face, "I'...... I'm going to kill him!"

"Don't act rashly!" The centipede spirit persuaded, "Let's concentrate on cultivation here, no matter who passes by, what does it have to do with us!"

"I'm hungry...... Hungry!"

"At our level, the appetite has nothing to do with life and death, so why risk it for a little blood and food!"

"I ...... I...... I'm hungry!" The rat spirit's face showed a look of struggle, but it was soon replaced by a greedy and ferocious color, and it turned into a large gray rat and ran out of the gap.

The centipede spirit tried to stop it, but it was a step too late and watched its companion leave. He sighed deeply.

"Ah Xing! If we monsters want to cultivate successfully, the biggest enemy is not an external calamity, but the instinctive desire in our hearts!"

His humanized face showed a melancholy color, looking at the red spar, his eyes were full of helplessness.

"Although this treasure has greatly accelerated our cultivation, it has also strengthened the evil thoughts in our hearts a lot...... I really don't know if it's good or bad!"

Although this monster is described as terrifying, his speech and demeanor seem to be very graceful, and his voice is not even the slightest evil. If you don't see it in person, you may even be regarded as a high-ranking person.

"I really don't know what kind of sin I did in my previous life, I was reincarnated as a centipede, and I am still a centipede living in an underground cave......" The centipede spirit leaned against the rock wall and sighed in a low voice, "I hate that I don't cultivate enough, I can only remember that I have to work hard to cultivate, but I can't remember the slightest thing about my previous life!" If only I could think of some, even a little bit, it would be better than fumbling around like this!"

As he spoke, Siddhartha walked over to the hedron and gently stroked it.

"Stone, stone, as soon as I see you, I feel a sense of intimacy, could it be that you are left over from my previous life? Why didn't I leave any information about my cultivation in the first place?"

He sighed, then looked at the crack that led to the outside, his eyes full of hesitation.

"This crack leads to a ruin, and that ruin makes me feel uneasy, so over the years, I have rarely stepped into it, and even restrained Ah Xing from going over. But...... Lately, it seems that people have been coming over a lot......"

He remembered that in the past, he didn't know if the Dao was hundreds or thousands of years, in short, in this lonely underground, he had only cultivated silently. Later, a few other monsters came here, and he fought a big battle with these monsters, killing them until there was only a lowly rat spirit, keeping it to talk to him, of course, as a reward, he also gave the other party some cultivation methods.

It's a pity that the rat spirit he named "Ah Xing" is really stubborn, not only is the progress of cultivation very slow, but also has an innate vicious disposition, which makes him feel disliked from the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't killed this guy, there would have been no one to say a word to him, and he would have thrown this stupid and treacherous thing into the magma!

Originally, he thought that life might go on like this until he achieved the right result, or he could not survive the catastrophe and die. But recently, I don't know what happened to the ruins on the other side of the road, and people passed by one after another.

At the beginning, he also restrained Ah Xing not to go over to join in the fun. But two days ago, Ah Xing slipped out of the hall while he was cultivating into concentration, killed a monk, and dragged the corpse back to eat it slowly!

When he woke up, he was so furious that he almost couldn't help but kill this fool who didn't know whether to live or die - those monks who came down to explore the treasure, who didn't have any special skills! And they are likely to have classmates and friends...... If you get into any trouble, won't you even suffer yourself!

Fortunately, after many years of cultivation, he finally suppressed the killing intent, and just asked Ah Xing to throw back the half-gnawed corpse, without even touching anything on the corpse.

Perhaps the monk had something of value with him, but he would rather have nothing than the trouble he might cause!

The key to the path of cultivation lies in oneself after all. What is external, it is good to have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it.

What's more, he has already got a great opportunity, so why should he be greedy and insufficient?

Lack of greed is always a cultivator's worst enemy!

He was sighing when he suddenly heard a distant voice from inside the crack, but it was a conversation between Ah Xing and another monk.

"You're a local youkai? Why haven't the first people ever seen you?" That voice sounded quite kind, it shouldn't be a ferocious person, but there was a strong self-confidence in the voice, and the calmness that came from self-confidence.

"Eat...... Eat you!" Hearing Ah Xing's words, the centipede spirit couldn't help but hide his face with his hands. This idiot! No salvation! Sure enough, the next thing I heard was the sound of Ah Xing's claws charging on the ground, which was its usual method, quickly rushing in front of the enemy and biting him to death.

But it was clear that this method was not enough for the monk. Only a soft sigh was heard, and then the sound of flames burning.

The sound of the flames subsided in a moment, and the centipede spirit was stunned for a while, and then sighed deeply, knowing that Ah Xing had been killed by the monk.

The subordinate who had been with him for many years died like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he knew that since Ah Xing was vicious and did not change, this was an inevitable outcome.

"Alas! I have long said that you should cleanse your mind and get rid of evil thoughts...... You just don't listen! Now that he has finally died under his own evil thoughts, it is really pitiful and lamentable!"

"You're reasonable." The voice that had been talking to Ah Xing suddenly sounded beside him, and the centipede spirit was startled, and turned to look, only to see a young monk standing at the door of the cave with a smile on his face.
