Affected by miasma.

The group could only use their respective mounts to reach the Kunlun Mountains.

Fortunately, Yue Qianren joined this time.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, the ghost car that the Mozhu Society had used in the sea came in handy again.

Two blue ghost lights are in front.

The ghost servant in a long black horse coat stepped in mid-air about three meters above the ground, completely ignoring the black-purple poisonous miasma surging around him.

The person in charge of driving is Yue Qianren.

The body behind him has also changed from a clam shell to a two-wheeled vehicle that is easy to drive on land.

Yan Jing rode the tiger firefly and ran alone to prepare for a possible surprise attack.

A closer look.

At this time, the interior of the Kunlun Mountains has become a forbidden area for life.

In the past ten hours or so, the mountains and forests have been eroded on a large scale, and the ground is full of swamps and deep pools.

Yes, on this high mountain.

It turned out to be a large swamp because of the gloomy energy of the willows.

The rocks were melted, the land collapsed, and the leylines were eroded.

The foul smell of decaying creatures permeates everywhere, and people can't help but cover their noses and hold their breath.

It corresponds to the description of Xiangliu in murals and folklore texts.

Born with a catastrophe!

In this case, the only thing to be thankful for is that there will no more fierce beasts in the mountains and forests to cause them trouble, and the three heads that have finally escaped from the seal of the Heavenly Burial Altar seem to have no intention of wasting time on other things.

Until they ascended the Prayer Scale Mountain, the group was not ambushed by any kind.

This is not good news.

It means that it is likely that Sangyu has already started to work on the Hanging Garden, or even has already invaded it.

It turned out that Yan Jing's speculation was correct.

As soon as they set foot on the top of the mountain, everyone noticed that something was wrong.

Unlike the devastation of the surrounding area, there is still a considerable amount of vegetation in the mountains.

From the marginal areas, the swampy landscape disappears and is replaced by yellowing withered meadows, which gradually turn green and grow deeper and more luxuriant.

The meadow at the top of the Prayer Scale Mountain is actually holding up in this environment full of black and purple poisonous miasma.

The aura of heaven and earth in all parts of the Kunlun Mountains seems to be gathered here under the guidance of some mysterious power.

The ghost car dissipated.

The group mounted their mounts and galloped through the vast meadows.

The miasma was hidden by an invisible force at a height of more than ten meters.

The area is dark but tranquil.

"It's here, it's ahead!"

It didn't take long for Yan Jing to notice that a large number of flowers and strange-looking plants began to appear in the meadow ahead, and the strong natural aura confirmed that this place was being sheltered.

The hint on the mural is correct, the top of the Prayer Scale Mountain is the entrance and exit of the hanging garden!

Further ahead is the lake, and since there is no star or moon, all you can see is the surface of the lake that ripples in the night wind.

"Looks like Sang-ryu hasn't been able to invade here yet?"

Yue Qianli stood on the shore of the lake, feeling the aura around him, and asked with some doubts.

"Strange, you see, all the poisonous miasma has been blocked, although they have not invaded here, it is inevitable that this place will be detected by Xiangliu, and it must know that this is the key to the hanging garden."

Yu Zhen pointed to the poisonous miasma churning in the air, paused, and continued,

"It stands to reason that Xiang Liu should be desperate to attack this place now, but the reality is that it surrounds the entire top of the Prayer Scale Mountain, forming a barrier on the outside, and the three heads are also missing."

Nearly eleven hours had passed since a part of Xiangliu's strength or remnant soul had been freed, and with the ability it had shown so far, it was obvious that it should not be blocked by a barrier formed by a layer of natural spiritual power.

There is only one possibility.

Its will has left this world, and the miasma will be intercepted so easily if it loses its control!

In other words.

It is likely that Sangliu has entered the hanging garden!

Realizing this, several people looked at each other, their faces calm.

"Maybe we're taking it for granted, this hanging garden is protected by a mysterious power, maybe Xiangliu has been repulsed"

Duo Ji Ge proposed another possibility, but before he could finish speaking, he saw that Yan Jing had already set foot on the lake.

The whole person flew towards a place in the middle of the lake at a great speed.

With the ability of the Tiger Jiao's relics, Yan Jing was born with an extraordinary ability to sense rivers, lakes and seas.

He noticed something strange in the depths of the lake.

Coming to the center of the lake, Yan Jing half-squatted down, his right hand covering the surface of the lake, and the bottom of his eyes shimmered.

Nothing was found

No, the wrong way!

Suddenly getting up and jumping into the air, Yan Jing half-squinted his eyes and activated the [Tide Resistance] special effect.

In an instant, the surface of the lake, which was blown by the night wind, calmed down, and the dark water seemed to become clear at this moment.

At the same time, Yan Jing opened the [Cave Void] of Lu Wu's golden eyes.

The glittering pupils locked onto the surface of the lake, and their pupils contracted slightly.

In the depths of the lake, a distorted black-purple miasma appeared, transforming into three vicious snakes, invading deeper into the lake.

In the shadows, it seems that they can still be seen climbing into something by clinging to it.

The location of the hanging garden should be in the sky, why is Xiangliu walking into the depths of the lake?

"Sang-ryu is entering the hanging garden!"

Surprised, Yan Jing immediately relayed his discovery to a few people on the shore.

The atmosphere was solemn for a while.

You must know that the original plan was for them to ambush here, and it would be best if they could directly strangle the remnant soul of Xiangliu, and if they couldn't, they would also chase it into the hanging garden to prevent it from being completely resurrected.

But now it's clearly a step too late.

It is unrealistic to expect to follow Xiang Liu into the hanging garden, Yan Jing and the others can only figure out their own way.

"Does the phantom of the remnant soul of Xiangliu appear in the depths of the lake, does it mean that the passage is underneath and we need to dive deep?"

After listening to Yan Jing's description of returning to the shore, Yu Zhen couldn't help but ask.

"No, the content recorded on the mural will not be wrong, and the content recorded in the dossier of the Mozhu Society also proves that the Hanging Garden is indeed in the sky, and it can only be said that the opening of the passage to the Hanging Garden is related to this lake."

Remembering the scene he had just seen on the surface of the lake, Yan Jing turned to look at Miao Yingshi and motioned for him to come with him.

The latter immediately mounted the Giant Horned Elk and followed Yan Jing back to the center of the lake.

Soon he noticed a vision from the depths.

"You are the inheritor of Yingzhao's legacy, according to the records of the Mozhu Society, the hanging garden was originally guarded by Yingzhao, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary, if you want to open the passage, I'm afraid you have to take action."

This was also a way out of the question, Yan Jing knew very well what the Mountains and Seas Relic meant to the Ember Apostle.

Under normal circumstances, exposure is just enough, but in this case, as soon as Miao Yingshi makes a move, it is equivalent to telling everyone that the legacy he inherited is Yingzhao, which undoubtedly puts the hole cards on the bright side.

Yan Jing had never mentioned this matter in front of anyone else before, and this time he specially brought Miao Yingshi to the center of the lake before he said.

In order to help him keep it a secret.

This is the respect you should have as a friend.

"Compared with the exposure of the relics, I care more about the Kunlun Mountains and the hanging garden. Whether it was Yingzhao or some other being who summoned me, the significance of what they did did not allow me to stand idly by. ”

Miao Yingshi didn't have too many worries, with Yan Jing as his friend, he didn't care about exposure.

Moreover, as Miao Yingshi said, he is more concerned about the natural environment of this vast jungle and even the entire Tibetan plain region than his own safety, and this is also the reason why Yingzhao Yuze chose him.

Tapping the Giant Horned Elk on the forehead, it immediately understood, and fell to its knees while Miao Yingshi sat cross-legged on its broad back.

Yan Jing withdrew some distance with the tiger firefly.

The few people standing on the shore only saw Yan Jing and Miao Yingshi discussing a few words, and while they were confused, they suddenly noticed that the natural energy around them was converging towards the center of the lake at a rapid speed!

"What is that?"

Duo Jige looked ahead, his expression was frozen, and he asked with a surprised face.

Yu Zhen and Yue Qianren's faces were not too surprised, the former knew something about Miao Yingshi because of Yan Jing's relationship, while the latter was purely because of the induction of the inheritors of the mountain and sea relics, and realized a certain possibility early.

On the surface of the lake shrouded in a poisonous miasma.

The verdant vitality gathers in one place, and the starlight falls in the sky, turning into a bright star map around Miao Yingshi.

Horse body, human face, tiger stripes, bird wings.

Strange beasts with various characteristics appear in the light.

There was no need for any extra movements, and the moment the Ying Zhao Phantom appeared, Yan Jing knew that the direction they had chosen was the right one.

Ying Zhao is the guardian of the hanging garden.

It itself is the most direct key to open the passage to the hanging garden, and with the advent of Yingzhao, the appearance of the lake has also begun to change on a large scale.

The surface of the lake, which had been restored to darkness by Yan Jing's departure, became clear and calm again.

It's clearly in the dark night, but it's as translucent as a mirror.

Without the poisonous miasma controlled by Xiang Liu, it was impossible to stop the play of the Ying Zhao Phantom.

The starlight flowed across the lake, reflecting the stars in the mirror-clear water.

Among the stars.

A staircase to the sky is slowly emerging.

It was only at this moment that Yan Jing finally understood why he saw the vision left by Xiangliu's remnant soul at the bottom of the lake.

The Hanging Garden does rise high in the sky.

The lake reflects the sky!

If you want to go to the other space where the hanging garden is located, you don't need to ascend to the sky in this world at all.

What appears in this lake is the true passage to the other world where the Hanging Garden is located!

There will be a little later
