Chapter 266: The Skull in the Iron Box

At this time, under the mouth of a certain magma-churning volcano, Xing Yu, a Qilin Demon cultivator who had lost his breath, was lying in a cave carved out of the inner wall of the volcano.

"Damn, I knew that I would return to the north of the Tianque Continent as soon as I recovered from my injuries, but I tried to stay in the south of the Tianque Continent, and sure enough, greed has a price, just now I seemed to perceive a familiar guy, if I am not mistaken, he must be this disaster."

Xing Yu discovered the evil cultivator who had just flown over the area above the volcano not long ago through his own means, if it wasn't for Xing Yu to use the secret technique that their Qilin clan could continue to fall into a state of suspended animation for a day, then Xing Yu would definitely have been discovered by the evil cultivator and caught again.

After experiencing the exciting dodge just now, Xing Yu planned that it would be better for him to hide in this volcano for a few months, Xing Yu thought that this life disaster had already sensed here, and he should not come back.

On the other side, Ye Kui, one of the three passages under the dark underground cavity, did not encounter any thrilling things for the time being.

"The smell of mold in the passage here is getting stronger and stronger, I can only roughly see the situation there through the eyes of the two spirit cranes, and I can't smell the smell, and the spirit cranes in the other two passages are not in any danger for the time being, I hope things continue to go well."

Ye Kui said that, and continued to use the wind to fly forward.

The fire dragon that was the vanguard in front also became a little faster after Ye Kui picked up his speed.

After flying for two hours, Ye Kui followed the fire dragon to the end of the tunnel, where there was a huge and heavy double-opening iron door, but the iron door was already rusty, and it seemed to be a little old.

Some of the passages in front of the iron door were covered with stone bricks on the floor, walls, and top, and those bricks were carved with individual runes.

"Circle?"

Ye Kui also saw the function of those stone bricks, and those stone bricks should be inlaid with spirit stones or other items that can provide spiritual power, so as to keep the magic circle running.

"It shouldn't be that hard to break through these circles, and by the way, open the door too."

So Ye Kui drew his sword and waved it at the rusty iron door in front of him.

The iron gate and the magic circle in front of the iron gate were easily broken by Ye Kui, and the iron, mud, and stones also flew towards the inside of the iron gate, and Ye Kui immediately followed the fire dragon towards the inside of the iron gate.

The fire dragon hovered above, and Ye Kui stood in front of a high platform.

"These should be altars."

After Ye Kui walked in, he saw that there was a very spacious area inside, and there was a high platform in the center of this area.

A huge censer, candlestick, flower goblet, and a series of strange ornaments on the high platform looked somewhat similar to the altar.

After Ye Kui hesitated for a while, he still walked up to the altar, and then Ye Kui found that most of the items such as candlesticks and flower goblets on the altar had been shattered, and even the surroundings of the huge incense burner were covered with dense cracks.

"The key items on this altar have been taken, and all that is left are inconsequential things, and it seems that it is time to go to the end of the other two passages, which, according to the crane's perspective, are dedicated to placing items and living places."

After Ye Kui briefly observed the things on the altar, he didn't find any useful clues or items, so Ye Kui prepared to leave here.

Just as Ye Kui was about to cast the Wind Breaking Intent, the fire dragon hovering above was suddenly pierced by some sharp object, and the fire dragon condensed by flames directly collapsed into a sea of fire.

The sea of fire that almost covered the area of the altar made it clear the appearance and shape of the attacker.

It was a pale and thin monk, his tattered coat revealing his thin and bulging bones, and if he hadn't been able to move, he would have been treated like a dried corpse.

"Enlightenment Realm Fourfold, no wonder you can defeat the fire dragon, then you should also get down, it just so happens that I don't know much about this place."

Ye Kui raised his hand and pointed at the thin cultivator who was standing high on the wall

Scholar.

Then the entire area where the altar was located began to become icy and bitter, and the ground, walls, and the area above were immediately covered in ice.

Then the surface of the ice began to explode, and a large number of sharp icicles flew towards the thin monk who had attacked the fire dragon just now.

The thin monk sensed the danger and immediately prepared to hide somewhere else.

But when the skinny monk in the torn boots dodged several sharp icicles and carelessly stepped on the raised ice on the wall, a chill hit the skinny monk.

At this time, the thin monk's feet were immediately frozen by the ice, and when the thin monk saw this, he immediately cast a spell to shatter the ice outside his boots, and then cast a spell to fly away from the dangerous ice, and finally the thin monk barely stood on the ground that Ye Kui deliberately did not freeze.

"It's hard to deal with."

The thin monk couldn't help frowning and whispered.

Even though the skinny monk had tried his best to react quickly, he still couldn't save his feet, and now the skinny monk found that the soles of his left foot had been frozen blue, and that the sound of the ice cracking was starting to make a "click, click" sound on his foot.

As for the monk's right foot, the ball of his right foot was better than the ball of his left, and only five toes of his right foot were completely frozen into ice cubes and then shattered.

This thin monk can only take out a mourning rod from the space ring that can only be used when he is in vain, and the mourning stick in the hand of the thin monk is about three feet three feet long, and there seems to be some dried blood stains on it.

"What is this place?"

Ye Kui saw that the thin monk on the other side was honest before he spoke.

"You didn't know what it was when you came here? It's actually where they use it for dirty deals and some kind of experiment."

Hearing Ye Kui ask this, the thin monk who was supported by the mourning uncle was a little puzzled, but he still answered Ye Kui directly.

"Who are they' in your mouth?"

"Of course, the ones who often call themselves righteous monks."

"And who are you? Why are you hiding here and attacking me?"

Ye Kui also heard who the thin monk on the other side was referring to, so Ye Kui continued to ask.

"I arrived here before you, and I know more than you, and I must want to know about things here by looking at your appearance, so you should also take the initiative to report yourself."

"Yes, but you don't need to be so nervous as to stab that stick into the ground, after all, you've come down from above, my name is Ye Kui."

The meaning expressed by the thin man on the other side was that he knew what Ye Kui didn't know, so Ye Kui also told the other side his name.

"Lin Zao."

After Ye Kui said his name, the thin monk on the other side also immediately said his name.

"Lin Zao, what are you hiding here? What do you mean by sneaking up on me?"

Ye Kui began to continue to ask Lin Zao, although he could easily catch Lin Zao, but Ye Kui felt that it was better not to push too hard, after all, he had already ruined Lin Zao's feet.

"I came here just to get some stuff along with it, and those guys got stuck here."

"Caught stealing?"

Ye Kui asked bluntly.

"They just think I'm hiding here and haven't just barged in to see what's going on here like you did, so there's nothing to be caught."

Lin Zao said stiffly.

"That's okay, it's clear that I broke through the iron gate and the Dharma circle outside, you could have sneaked out without me noticing, but why did you attack me?"

"Ye Kui, do you really think I can avoid your attention and leave from the iron gate?"

"That's impossible, but I'll follow you quietly and see where you're going and what you're doing."

Ye Kui replied to Lin Zao simply.

"That's right, plus I already knew that I wasn't your opponent when you and I fought just now, and at first I just wanted to see if I could successfully sneak up on you.

But that fire dragon is really an eyesore, and it will perfectly block between you and me, so I can only attack that fire dragon first, but I didn't expect that fire dragon to expose me after death, otherwise you would definitely not find me."

Lin Zao had a regretful expression on his face when he said this.

"Lin Zao, let's talk in another place."

Now Ye Kui ignored the conflict between Lin Zao and himself just now, and pointed to the outside of the destroyed iron gate, Ye Kui planned to take Lin Zao to the end of another passage together.

"Ye Kui, do you want to let me go?"

"Let's see if you can provide me with useful help, if you can, then the injury just now should be a small lesson, and the little conflict between you and me will be over, if not, then you may not be able to leave here.

When you attack the dragon and then start to show hostility towards me, I can just kill you with a sword, not just give you a little bit of suffering."

After Ye Kui finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the outside of the altar area.

Lin Zao hesitated for a while, then followed Ye Kui to the passage outside with a mourning stick.

"Ye Kui, then you ruined my feet, and that's the end of the matter?"

"Lin Zao, think about it carefully, have I already let you come down from the high place in advance? And after I cast the spell, I deliberately left a safe area on the ground for you to stand on, and if you didn't choose to continue to dodge when you exposed your body at first, but obediently went down to the ground, then you won't get hurt."

"How could I easily listen to someone I've never met? Ye Kui, if it were you, would you do it?"

Lin Zao asked Ye Kui with some dissatisfaction.

"That's natural, and I've met them more than once, and at that time, the other party's realm was much higher than mine, and I couldn't do anything but do it."

「......」

Lin Zao heard Ye Kui's answer so crisply, and he didn't know how to continue to scold Ye Kui for a while.

"I've only been to the end of the three passages in this place, which is the altar area, and the other two areas are supposed to be warehouses and living quarters, what else do you know?"

Ye Kui continued to ask Lin Zao about the situation here.

"Ye Kui, what you want to say is what I want to say."

"Lin Zao, didn't you say that you arrived here before me, and you know more than me? Now what are you trying to hide from me?"

"Ye Kui, as I said before, I was trapped in the area where the altar was located, and I didn't know much about the other two passages, and what I knew was stolen from those guys' inadvertent conversations."

Lin Zao said this without a pause, and it didn't look like he was lying.

However, Ye Kui couldn't just determine from Lin Zao's expression that what he said was true or false, so Ye Kui planned to go to the end of the other two passages first and ask Lin Zao about other things.

Then Ye Kui also urged Lin Zao to cast a spell and move forward as soon as possible, and Lin Zao on the side could only do so.

When Ye Kui and Lin Zao came to the area that was supposed to be a warehouse, Lin Zao almost attacked the Phantom Blue Spirit Crane that was already in front of the rusty gate of the warehouse, but Lin Kui was stopped by Ye Kui in time.

"I let that crane get here first, and you're just as anxious as you were when we first met."

Ye Kui said to Lin Zao after stopping Lin Zao from attacking the Ghost Blue Spirit Crane.

"Ye Kui, I've already stopped, you don't have to worry about this matter all the time."

"Lin Zao, then don't tremble so hard when you hold the crutch in your hand."

After Ye Kui heard Lin Zao's answer, he pointed to the mourning battle in Lin Zao's hand and said.

"It's a little unstable,"

Lin Zao whispered this.

"What?"

Ye Kui, who had just received the fairy sword in the scabbard, didn't hear what Lin Zao said for a while, so Ye Kui asked rhetorically.

"Now that you've broken through the iron door, go inside and see."

Lin Zao did not answer Ye Kui

That question, but pointed to the area inside the huge rusty iron door that Ye Kui casually cut open in front of him.

Now Lin Zao is more afraid of Ye Kui, Lin Zao feels that Ye Kui can cut out the sword just now so casually, so if Ye Kui seriously cuts out a sword qi on himself, then he will definitely not be able to dodge, and he will not be able to block it.

When Ye Kui heard Lin Zao say this, his heart immediately moved, and the Phantom Blue Spirit Crane standing aside began to disappear, while the small orange-red ring on the Spirit Crane's neck began to swell, and finally turned back into a fire dragon.

When the fire dragon appeared, it flew directly towards the area behind the iron gate, and then Ye Kui signaled Lin Zao to continue to follow.

"Ye Kui, who are you?"

Lin Zao followed Ye Kui into the warehouse area behind the iron gate before asking Ye Kui this question.

"Loose cultivation, I just accidentally found this hole underneath, and then I went down here step by step from the top of the hole."

Ye Kui only told Lin Zao beside him part of the situation, and did not mention important things such as the Buddha's intention and true Yanzhan.

"Looks like we both have pure intentions."

Although Lin Zao said it very casually on the surface, Lin Zao already regarded Ye Kui as his peer in his heart, even if Lin Zao knew that he was not Ye Kui's opponent, it did not prevent Lin Zao from thinking so.

At this time, the area that Ye Kui and Lin Zao came to was different from the previous altar area, this area was carefully divided into three layers, and there were many collapsed empty shelves in each layer.

In addition, Ye Kui also found that there were more than twenty corpses here, which had turned into dried corpses, and in addition, the space rings and Qiankun bags on these dried corpses had disappeared like those on the empty shelves.

"Lin Zao, do you know which immortal sect or sect's clothes are on those corpses?"

"Ye Kui, can't you see that those guys' clothes are all rudely sewn? They didn't even wear the monk's clothes that were everywhere in the monastic world, but wore these crudely sewn clothes, with obvious intentions."

Lin Zao said part of his opinion, and the rest was deliberately left to Ye Kui to add.

"Is that careful? Then these dead monks should also be the monks of the Righteous Path Immortal Sect that you mentioned earlier, I have seen some evil cultivators, and when those evil cultivators secretly do some evil things, they are wearing the clothes of the most common monks in the monk world that you mentioned."

What Ye Kui is talking about here is the process of ordering other Bloody Sect cultivators to do evil in other places when Mi Xuezi was still alive.

"Look separately, you look for the area inside, look for the area near the entrance."

Ye Kui immediately began to command Lin Zao.

Lin Zao was also a little speechless when he heard it, he didn't come to be a coolie, so Lin Zao simply pretended not to hear anything and stood motionless, and then turned his head to look away.

It wasn't until Lin Zao felt a danger that he immediately limped towards the area that Ye Kui pointed out just now.

"It seems that Lin Zao still doesn't know the pain, and he has to beat it properly after that to prevent Lin Zao from having any bad intentions."

Ye Kui was sure that Lin Zao had made a move before turning around and walking to the other side.

Although Ye Kui let Lin Zao act alone might give Lin Zao a chance to hide his belongings privately, Ye Kui had already determined that the Buddha Meaning True Yan Zhan in the space ring had no reaction as before, so Ye Kui would rest assured that he would summon Lin Zao's free coolie.

Otherwise, Ye Kui would definitely not let Lin Zao move anything in this warehouse area.

After Ye Kui and Lin Zao's search, this warehouse area has been thoroughly turned over several times, but nothing has been found.

"Maybe we should look at the top, I found a place to hide in the ceiling of the altar."

When Ye Kui and Lin Zao walked to the front of the destroyed iron gate to converge, Lin Zao said his suggestion.

"Let's go see what's going on."

After Ye Kui heard Lin Zao say this, he agreed to Lin Zao's suggestion without thinking about it, after all

When Ye Kui didn't find useful clues and items in this warehouse area, he planned to go to the end of the last passage.

Then Ye Kui followed Lin Zao to the third floor of the warehouse area, where the shelves that had originally fallen to the ground had been cleaned up halfway by Ye Kui, so it didn't look as chaotic as before.

"Chisel it open."

Lin Zao said and pointed to the mud layer above.

"You're not afraid that this place will collapse?"

This time, Ye Kui did not immediately start acting according to Lin Zao's intentions, Ye Kui planned to let Lin Zao do it himself, after Lin Zao sneaked up on Ye Kui on the altar, Ye Kui felt that Lin Zao might still find an opportunity to rectify himself.

So this will Ye Kui be vigilant.

"Ye Kui, don't forget that you and I are monks, even if this place really collapses as you said, then we will be fine."

Lin Zao answered Ye Kui directly.

"Then let's do it, Lin Zao, you come."

"Ye Kui, are you sure I want to do this?"

Lin Zao asked Ye Kui with some doubts.

"Lin Zao, just do it, I will help you pay attention to the situation around you."

"Ye Kui, do you think I deliberately asked you to do this? And then they attack you by surprise?"

Lin Zao also noticed that he deliberately kept some distance from himself when Ye Kui followed him up to the third layer, so Lin Zao would ask Ye Kui like this.

"The heart of defense is indispensable."

Ye Kui simply stopped pretending after hearing Lin Zao's question.

"Again, I'll dig through the top, and when I enter this warehouse area, it feels like there's something more here."

After Lin Zao finished saying this, he raised a finger and pointed at the top layer of mud, and then Lin Zao cast a spell, and the layer of mud suddenly squirmed.

As the mud layer above continued to fall, Ye Kui and Lin Zao both looked upward, Lin Kui had already found some clues in the morning, and Ye Kui had only found some abnormalities.

"Sure enough, there's something hidden there."

As soon as Lin Zao finished speaking, an iron box half the size of a carriage fell from the mud layer of the Buddha above, and then smashed on the ground in the warehouse area for the third time with a "bump".

"I didn't expect that Lin had guessed correctly, so he already knew that he really just came here and found out?"

After Ye Kui saw the iron box, he left and looked at Lin Zao.

"Ye Kui, do you think we should open this iron box here now or move to the passage outside the warehouse area and open it again?"

After Lin Zao finished saying this, he pointed to the iron box on the ground that was stained with mud and tightly wound with rusty iron chains.

"Move to the passage outside the warehouse area and open this iron box again, so that we can easily avoid it in case of any emergency."

Ye Kui replied to Lin Zao, and at the same time, he had already cast the wind twist to take away the iron box on the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Zao hurriedly followed, because Lin Zao was also very curious about what was in the iron box.

"Lin Zao, this time I'll open this iron box, you can just hide and watch from a distance."

"Ye Kui, to tell you the truth, even if I want to snatch the contents of the iron box with you, I can't snatch you." :

Lin Zao immediately understood Ye Kui's words again, so he answered Ye Kui bluntly.

"Then you stay where you are."

After Ye Kui heard Lin Zao's answer, he stretched out his hand to directly tear off the iron chains, and then slowly opened the iron box.

"It's a bit confusing, I didn't expect that the things I found with Zhi Jin before would appear here."

After Ye Kui opened the iron box, he saw that there were two demon cultivator skulls inside, and the two demon cultivator skulls were tightly tied together by an unknown flesh tendon facing outward, and the back of the head was facing each other.

"Interesting, how did the two demon cultivator skulls in this iron box come together? The first is the skull of Ti Demon Xiu, and the other is... Is it the skull of the Qilin Demon Cultivator?"

In Ye Kui open ground

After the iron box on the face, Lin Zao on the side immediately took a few steps closer, and then said with some surprise.
