The group re-embarked on the road, and Shen Cong did not experiment with his own sword intent again, and he already had some numbers in his heart, so naturally there was no need to bother further. After all, it is now in an environment surrounded by demon beasts, and the slightest carelessness may cause huge trouble.

For ten days in a row, everyone was moving forward without danger, and the most dangerous one was when he encountered a sixth-level demon beast. Although there are not many demon beasts of this level in the Tianmin Mountain Range, it is absolutely normal to encounter them once. The only fortunate thing is that the attack of this demon beast is not strong, and it is a little jealous of Shen Cong and the others, so when Shen Cong and the others took the initiative to retreat, the demon beast did not chase after it again.

"At our current pace, it will take more than two months to get out of here. Gu Shun looked at the dense jungle in front of him and couldn't help but sigh softly. In fact, with the speed of a cultivator, no matter how big the Tianmin Mountain Range is, it doesn't take so much time. But because there are many monsters here, a few people don't dare to completely raise the speed, because it is extremely easy to ignore the surrounding situation, if there are monsters waiting for the opportunity, the situation will be very dangerous.

"Hey, what's that?"

Jin Liu stood on the branch and pointed to the front in a strange way. The dark sè stone bars are neatly arranged, layer upon layer, and in the middle is a small pool, there is nothing in it, but Yan sè looks a little strange relative to the surrounding stone bars, as if it has been infected by something.

"That's an altar, how can there be such a thing in the Tianmin Mountains. Gu Shun stepped forward, his brows furrowed, and there was a little disgust between his words, but at the same time, there was a trace of awe in them.

"Altar?" Lin Mo and the others didn't understand, this was the first time they had seen this kind of small building. And when I saw this altar, there was a strange emotion brewing in my heart, very strange, and inexplicable.

"Sacrificing to the gods, a peculiar cultivator who is different from us practitioners, we would normally call it a mage. Shen Cong said with a smile, Gu Shun looked at it with some surprise, obviously not expecting Shen Cong to even know this. Cultivators like mages don't usually cultivate true qi, and they belong to relatively out-of-the-way cultivation methods, so they are rarely seen in the cultivation world. Most people didn't know that there was such a cultivator, and Gu Shun only saw it in a classic book by chance.

Gu Shun found that he couldn't see through Shen Cong more and more, and the powerful sword intent that erupted before was enough to prove his talent, but in the Heavenly Mercy Kingdom, Gu Shun had never heard of any young genius who was like Shen Cong. Loose cultivation may be negligible, unless there is an adventure and a complete set of inheritances.

"Is there really a god in this world?" Jin Liu said in surprise, cultivators only respect themselves and have never had much faith.

"I don't know if there are any, but I heard that most of the divine power that these mages use are evil gods, and the space in which those evil gods live is not the same as ours. Therefore, if you want to use the power of those evil gods, the mage needs to prepare in advance, and even sacrifice some things to generate enough energy for those evil gods to come. ”

Shen Cong remembered what he had seen in the classics at the beginning, and when Shen Cong knew that there were such cultivators in this world, he was also surprised. Therefore, the mage does not cultivate true qi, and all the sources of power come from those so-called gods. The more times they come and the more power they invoke from the gods, the more benefits these mages receive.

Even that classic also recorded an unverified rumor, it is said that there was a person with very poor bones who worshiped a sect to cultivate, but as a result, he did not make any progress, and was even bullied from time to time, and later he was dragged into a whirlpool and disposed of as a black cauldron.

I don't know if it was luck or what, I finally escaped and ascended to heaven, and by chance I got a practice practiced by a mage. And this person is also a strong-willed person, except for the poor bones, the rest of the heart and wisdom are first-class. And that person relied on this cultivation method, and it was in a calculated sacrifice that he received the attention of a powerful evil god.

I don't know what kind of method was used, that person made that evil god extremely favored, and he did not hesitate to spend divine power to transform that person, and finally directly achieved the power equivalent to the eighth-order Returning Yuan Realm. How long would it take for an ordinary person to cultivate to the Eighth Order and return to the Yuan? Not to mention the Eighth Order, the Sixth Order alone had stopped countless people, but that person had achieved the Eighth Order overnight and had become one of the few supreme powerhouses in the world.

The next thing is that the man returned to the sect to take revenge. At that time, there were still many people in the faction who still remembered this person, and they still made fun of it at first, but when that person's sacrifice was successful, his combat power soared to the eighth order of the Yuan, almost scaring people stupidly, and there was naturally no need to say much about what happened after that.

This matter was talked about by the compiler of the classic, after all, compared to the long cycle of True Qi cultivation, the mage can be said to have ascended to the sky in one step, as long as he can find a powerful god and get favor, then the benefits he will get are more powerful than any adventure.

However, everything is proportional to what is given and received, and the mage is not a one-size-fits-all cultivation method, otherwise the mainstream cultivation method today should be like this, not the cultivation of true qi. The disadvantages are not described in detail in the classics, but Shen Congchai can guess that it is nothing more than that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, and in the end it is counterattacked.

After all, the mage is much worse than the true qi cultivator, whether it is the body or the heart, and in the face of the terrifying power of the evil god, there is no resistance power. That is, life and death are completely in the hands of the other party, maybe the god is in a slightly bad mood and kills you, and you have nowhere to reason.

"What if True Qi cultivation and sacrifice were combined with each other?" a strange thought suddenly popped into Shen's mind.

Gu Shun explained the simple situation of the mage's cultivation on the side, and Lin Mo and the two of them listened with their hearts shaking. The feeling of ascending to the sky was too tempting, even if it was a little hard for them to refuse.

"Don't think about things too beautifully, it's better to cultivate step by step!" Gu Shun saw the expressions of the two, and couldn't help but reprimand in a low voice.

"Yes, disciple understands. Lin Mo saw Gu Shun's displeasure, and quickly replied obediently. On the contrary, Huang Yang's heart didn't belong, and he didn't know what he thought, so Gu Shun shook his head for a while.

"Why don't we go up and have a look. Huang Yang said suddenly, looking at the altar, it seemed to leap and try.

"It's a bit strange to set up an altar in such a place, but it's better not to get involved in it now. Shen Congdao, there was an aura in the position of the altar that made Shen Cong uncomfortable, and his intuition was not suitable for approaching.

"Just a glance at what impact it can have. Huang Yang glanced at Shen Cong and sneered.

"Don't make extraneous branches now, and the less contact with the power of the evil god, the better, I don't know how many mages have gone crazy in the end, if you encounter this kind of cultivator in the future, you should also be cautious. Gu Shun shook his head and said that he walked around from another place, Shen Cong and the others followed, only Huang Yang was reluctant, but Gu Shun objected, and Huang Yang did not dare to disobey, so he could only follow.

The group drifted away, and after a few people walked away, the altar, which was almost in ruins, suddenly fluctuated slightly. A circle of energy spread, and the seemingly disorderly placed stone bars floated up, and a pair of eyes appeared in the upper part of the stone bar. It's very imaginary with human eyes, but it's just on the stone bar, but it looks very weird.

A black shadow rose up on the altar, flashing with a red light, as if looking at Shen Cong and the others in the distance, the scarlet red made people's hairs stand on end, and they were afraid.

Shen Cong and the others did not notice the situation in the rear, and their attention was all in the movement around them. I have been like this for so many days, and only in this way can I ensure my safety. Everyone walked and stopped, and avoided several waves of demon beasts, but what they couldn't avoid was the thunder kill, and then Shen Cong sealed it with the power of frost, and the blood and qi naturally covered up.

"It's almost night, we should find one" Lin Mo just spoke, and suddenly found Shen Cong staring into the distance. Now most of Lin Mo's attention is on Shen Cong, and she can react immediately to any movement of Shen Cong, only in this way can she hunt better.

The others also noticed Shen Cong's strangeness, and they all turned their heads to look, and found that there was a circle of dark shadows in the distance at some point, and the outline turned out to be a small town. There will be a small town in the Tianmin Mountain Range, and it is unimaginable how powerful it must be to preserve the town in an environment infested with monsters.

"Would you like to go over and take a look?" asked Jin Liu softly.

"It's almost night, and we have to find a place to rest, otherwise it's too dangerous to travel at night. And this town is so close to us now, if you don't check it, I'm afraid you will be uneasy. Shen Congdao, and the others all nodded. The side of the bed does not allow others to sleep peacefully, and they naturally cannot turn a blind eye to the appearance of such an unknown town, unless they are willing to travel away from here overnight, otherwise all sources of danger must be investigated.

"It's getting night, we're going to be quicker. Gu Shun said in a low voice, and rushed out first, Gu Shun's realm was the highest, and it was naturally the most suitable for him to open the way, while Shen Cong was the one who broke off to prevent other situations from happening.

How fast the cultivator could let go of himself, the distance of several kilometers was a blink of an eye, and when he got closer, everyone finally saw the shape of the town. It was bleak and deserted, and a stone gate stood outside, which should have been too long and no one had cleaned it, and now it had been corroded by wind and rain.

The houses in the town, which can be seen clearly from the outside, are many of them dilapidated, and only some are still intact. Gu Shun hesitated, scattered a cloud of powder, and drifted into the town with the wind. The aura fluctuated, and no other strange things happened, showing that this was just an ordinary small city, but it was located in the Tianmin Mountain Range, no matter how you looked at it, it was not ordinary.

"Go in and see, you're following me. Gu Shun walked forward cautiously, the true element in his body flowed endlessly, as long as he encountered an abnormal situation, Gu Shun could react immediately. Shen Cong looked around, the sword intent was not pre-emptive, thinking that it was safe, and they all came here, it was impossible to retreat and leave.

A few people crossed the stone gate, there was some rotten smell in the city, it was produced by the fermentation of wood after a period of time, and everyone was still a little jǐng at the beginning, but they just walked a distance, and even walked into some houses, they didn't notice the abnormal situation, and couldn't help relaxing, this is a small city that has been abandoned for a long time.

"Look, there's a stone monument there. Lin Mo saw the black sè stone pillar erected in front of her at a glance, and her figure flickered and came closer, but when she saw the content on the stone tablet, Lin Mo frowned, she couldn't understand these words.

Gu Shun and a few people walked over, and they also frowned when they saw the content on the stone tablet. These characters have some hieroglyphic looks, but they are more bizarre, they should be some kind of long-lost script, and no one understands them until now. Shen Cong looked at the stele seriously, this kind of text Shen Cong had some impressions, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Computer, look up the text of the stele. ”

Voice assistant: "The search data of the new task does not fully match the text, according to the composition of the text, 30% may be nicuya script, and 20% may be Oyca text." ”

Shen Cong frowned, there was only a probability of two or three percent, which could basically be ruled out. No one could read the stele, so everyone had to continue to explore the town. This city is really not big, but after a while, everyone checked it out, and they didn't find any abnormalities, it was just a pile of ruins, and even everyone found many traces of demon beasts, and I think there were also demon beasts here, but they all left later.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, and it's been dilapidated for a long time, and only the all-stone houses are still intact, and the others are rotten. Jin Liu said softly.

"It doesn't seem to be dangerous, so now we can rest easy. Lin Mo said with a smile, his expression relaxed.

"I found some traces of formations outside the town before, thinking that there should have been masters here at the beginning, but now this place has not become the world of demon beasts, and those formations are still playing some role, and the aura emitted makes those demon beasts dislike, so they have avoided it. "Gu Shundao.

"Then let's spend the night here tonight, there are few monsters, and we are safer. Huang Yang suggested that sleeping outside all the time was too uncomfortable for a person like him who had been cultivating in the sect, and that he had to leave most of the jīng gods outside at night, lest the demon beasts attack and not be noticed.

"I also have this idea" Lin Mo agreed, it has been a long time since she has washed seriously, which is a little unacceptable for a woman. And Lin Mo now wants to hunt Shen Cong, so he naturally plans to make his state look better.

Jin Liu was also moved on the side, unable to wash and unable to rest peacefully, which was indeed a torment. However, compared to Lin Mo and others, Jin Liu is undoubtedly much stronger, after all, in recent times, Jin Liu has experienced too many things with Shen Cong.

Gu Shun looked at the expressions of several people, knew their thoughts, and couldn't help shaking his head. However, this town does seem to be safe now, and as long as he activates a few of the formations outside, he can greatly increase the protective power here, at least it is absolutely impossible for the demon beasts to get close to them quietly.

It's much safer and more comfortable than camping in the wilderness. Gu Shun is naturally not afraid of any hardships, but spending the night here now is indeed an excellent choice, and Gu Shun has no reason to object.

As night fell, the people chose a relatively sturdy house to live in. Shen Cong was in charge of the food, while Jin Liu and the others were cleaning, after all, no one had cleaned up for too long, and the environment was inevitably too bad.

"Maybe we can rest here for a while and then go on our way. Huang Yang leaned comfortably against the wall, there was the protection of the formation outside, there was no need to worry about the demon beasts, Huang Yang was completely relaxed, and his mind was more comfortable than ever. After all, for more than ten days before, no matter day or night, we had to keep jǐngti at all times, but now this situation is really too little and too little.

Gu Shun did not agree or object, he had already discovered that the state of Huang Yang and the others was too nervous, and it was fine for a short time, but in the long run, it would definitely affect himself. And if you want to get out of the Tianmin Mountain Range and reach the Sunken Water Country, there is still a long time. It's a good idea to take a break and adjust.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a scream came, and it was Lin Mo who listened to the voice. Lin Moping has always maintained a dignified lady, and rarely makes such a sound.

"What's the matter, Senior Sister Lin!" Jin Liu walked out of the other room and asked strangely.

Gu Shun had already rushed up, Shen Cong followed behind, just in time to see Lin Mo looking at the room in horror, unconsciously retreating backwards, Gu Shun stepped forward and pulled the person out directly. Lin Mo's panicked expression was revealed on his face, and his face was even paler.

"What's wrong, what's going on. Huang Yang walked up.

"It's okay!" Jin Liu asked in a low voice, looking around, nothing strange happened. Several people converged together, especially Gu Shun beside him, Lin Mo's jīng god finally relaxed slightly, but it was only some, the whole person was still very nervous at the moment, and his whole body was tense.

"Inside!" Lin Mo stretched out his hand to the room she had entered before, "When I was cleaning up, I turned around and saw a woman lying on her clothes, the flesh and blood all over her body were bitten by something, her face was missing a little bit, and the blood was still dripping, and she was smiling at me. ”

Thinking back to the scene just now, Lin Mo's face couldn't help but turn pale again, and his words trembled slightly. Gu Shun frowned, turned around and walked into the room, there was indeed a bed in it, but there were no women, and the sheets were very clean, and the cleanliness was a bit excessive.

"There's nothing, Senior Sister Lin, have you been too tired lately to read the mistake. Huang Yang said strangely, and walked around as he spoke, and there was nothing abnormal.

"How could it be wrong, it was really there. Lin Mo said loudly.

"Okay, let's not talk about it yet, it could be a ghost. Gu Shun said in a deep voice, Shen Cong's brows frowned slightly, ghosts and the like are difficult to clean up, but fortunately, the Heavenly Master Sect is the best at thunder methods, if there is anything, it will be fine.

Lin Mo was unsettled, but Jin Liu didn't care, she was born with Lei Xiu, if there was really any ghost that didn't open her eyes, she could solve everything by going down directly with a thunder method.
