Upper Metaverse.

East Narrow Grottoes.

As they got closer and closer to the boundary where the Dongzhai Grottoes were located, Cao Chuan and his party noticed that the surrounding environment was gradually becoming barren and lonely.

When I got closer to the location of the East Narrow Grottoes, I found that there was no longer a single figure on the road, and instead there were only some flowers and trees that had grown on the side of the road, but had almost withered and decayed.

At the same time, the closer you get to the Dongzhai Grottoes, where you can already see some outlines in front of you, the more you can feel that the spiritual power around you has become scarce.

Lack of spiritual power, and the surrounding environment is so desolate.

Even a fool can see that there must be something strange near the Dongzhai Grottoes, otherwise the spiritual power of the above Metaverse at the height of each dimensional space, even the most remote places, will not be exhausted to the point that it will disappear completely.

"It seems that there are indeed some strange things hidden in this Dongshan Grotto, so we have to be very careful in the future."

After turning his head to Yu Qinglan, Wen Jinghao and Chu Ningxiang to remind the three daughters, Cao Chuan continued to walk forward.

And so it didn't take long.

After walking on the deserted road in the direction of the East Narrow Grottoes for half an hour.

Finally.

The Dongshan Grottoes, which could only see a vague outline from a distance, finally showed their true colors in front of Cao Chuan and his party.

As far as the eye can see, you can see huge grottoes surrounded by huge trees growing around them.

But if you look closely, you can see that these huge trees that seem to be growing extremely well have actually been in the passage of time, because they can't absorb enough spiritual power to maintain their vitality, so they have already turned into dry and dilapidated dead trees, and all of them have fallen on the grotto.

In these surrounding grottoes, you can see that there are blurred murals, so that it is impossible to see what is depicted on these murals.

If you keep staring, you will inexplicably feel a cool air rising from your back, as if some ominous existence is coming from behind.

This is how Cao Chuan and his party felt when they walked straight into the nearest grotto.

It's just that they are not ordinary people, after running the spiritual power in their bodies, this discomfort immediately disappeared, and then looking at the environment around the grotto, there is no weirdness before, but I feel that this place is indeed very desolate and dilapidated.

And Cao Chuan, who has been looking around and observing the environment here since he came to the Dongshan Grottoes, has different feelings from Yu Qinglan, Wen Jinghao and Chu Ningxiang.

It's like the strange aura that the third girl can't feel anymore after running her spiritual power, but Cao Chuan can still sense it, and at the same time he is still thinking about a very important question.

It is that the spiritual power near the East Narrow Grottoes has almost been exhausted, and the spiritual power in the East Narrow Grottoes is so subtle that it almost does not exist.

If a monk wants to live in such a place where it can almost be said that there is no spiritual power, he is afraid that the monk will run away from here the next day.

Not to mention the large group of puppets and demons gathered here.

You must know that the operation of puppets and the survival of demons and ghosts depend on spiritual power, and they need more spiritual power than ordinary creatures, once they do not have enough spiritual power to maintain their vitality, both puppets and demons will be reduced to dead things in a very short period of time, let alone instruct them to do things.

It is precisely because of these thoughts that Cao Chuan suspects that the East Narrow Grottoes he sees now are not the real East Narrow Grottoes, that is to say, these are not the original face of the East Narrow Grottoes.

But even though Cao Chuan had observed very carefully, he still couldn't notice anything unusual.

In desperation, Cao Chuan had no choice but to turn his gaze to the formation.

He wanted to see if there was really a formation in this Dongzhai Grotto, and it was able to make his divine soul power unable to detect the truth and falsehood.

Fortunately, this time Cao Chuan did not encounter Waterloo, but really let him find some clues between the various grottoes.

And so it was! There is indeed some kind of formation here, and it is a formation whose grade has reached at least the heavenly level! ”

With such a harvest, Cao Chuan observed more carefully and attentively.

In this way, a full hour passed, and finally Cao Chuan came back to his senses with a smile on his face, and focused his eyes on the mural on the top of the grotto where the group had entered first, and it was no longer clear what it depicted.

At first glance, you will feel that this mural does look very blurry, and you may even suspect that this is not a mural at all, but a combination of stones of different colors.

But Cao Chuan combined this mural with other murals in the same location in the grotto.

Then, a mural depicting countless demons and puppets appeared in his mind, and at the same time, Cao Chuan's open eyes finally saw through the true appearance of the mural in front of him.

The next second.

Cao Chuan was a holy spirit sword qi towards this mural, and directly smashed this mural.

With a loud bang.

The mural was easily shattered by the Holy Spirit Sword Qi, but at the same time, a piece of spirit stone hidden deep in the mural, which was already pitch black and was constantly bubbling black gas, was exposed.

It was also at this time.

The black spirit stone immediately began to swell the moment it was exposed, and then it exploded directly in front of Cao Chuan and his party.

Meanwhile.

The burst of the black spirit stone caused the entire Dongzhai Grottoes to begin to shake violently.

After the tremor completely disappeared, the Dongshan Grottoes in front of Cao Chuan and his party really changed.

Looking around, you can see the scene in front of you, there is still the desolate and dilapidated appearance before, the growth of I don't know how green and crisp the tall trees and flowers of different colors bloom everywhere, as well as the birds and beasts that are constantly leaping and walking in the mountains and forests, all tell that the original appearance of the Dongsha Grottoes is so vibrant.

But at the same time, Cao Chuan finally sensed the evil aura from the demons and puppets emanating from the depths of this vibrant, peaceful scene.

As a young master recognized by the Demon Origin Sect, Cao Chuan was naturally very familiar with the aura of puppets and demons.

It's just that he didn't rush to find those puppets and demons, but instead camped with Yu Qinglan, Wen Jinghao and Chu Ningxiang on the periphery of the Dongshan Grottoes.

He was going to wait until he joined Su Sanyuan before going deep into it to investigate the traces of demons and puppets.

In this way, Su Sanyuan can also be allowed to take people to prepare outside the Dongshan Grottoes, so as not to escape from the puppets and demons that were missed.
