The moment Chen Ping landed, he once again activated the Golden Tortoise Shell Technique for himself, holding a sword in his hand to remain vigilant.

It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The demon beasts and Terran monks who had just fought were completely gone.

The whole world is quiet and terrible.

Where is this?

Chen Ping quickly released his divine sense and scanned the current environment.

It's a pitch-black tunnel.

There are not only smooth walls around, but also some ruins of ancient buildings. The air smells disgustingly foul and the rotten smell that the air is enriched by perennial non-circulation.

Looking up, there is only the top of the stone wall, and you can't see the sky.

'This is inside the mysterious ruins?' ’

'Underground palace? ’

'Tombs? ’

Chen Ping once again released his senses, trying to see the situation outside through the wall. But he found that there was actually a formation to protect him, and his divine sense could not penetrate the sky to see the situation outside, nor could he penetrate deep enough underground, or even through the wall to spy beyond the wall.

He was currently in a zigzag underground palace tunnel, with forks in the road on both sides.

It's like a maze.

"Chen Wa?" Chen Ping let out a low snort.

All that awaits him is the empty echo of 'Chen Ao, Chen Ao, Chen Ao'.

……

Chen ...... Convex. ”

On the other side, Xiyue faced the dark underground palace and shouted, but she only had an echo.

……

Such a shouting scene also occurred at the same time in many places in the underground palace.

……

Chen Ping combined the current environment and the battle scene before falling here, and quickly analyzed the current situation.

guessed that this is probably the palace directly below the mysterious ruins, in this case, it just confirms Jiang Youwei's shout that 'the passage has been opened'.

I fell here in the middle of the battle.

But the formation here still exists, and the entrance and exit are nowhere to be seen, and I can't even tell how I fell here.

Of course, this is just his guess.

The true situation is unknown.

Chen Ping sensed that there were no spiritual power fluctuations within the limited range of his divine sense, so he cast the 'fingertip white flame' to make the pitch-black environment light up a little.

At the same time, the long-lost nine-shaded colorful cicada was released, and let it fly ahead to explore the way first.

Proceed cautiously along the wall.

The walls are mostly made of green rock, damp and drenched, and moss even grows in some places, and occasionally water droplets drip down from the cave wall, making a soft sound of 'ding dong'.

The ground is also wet, and there is even standing water in some low-lying places. When the shoe is stepped on, it will make the sound of treading water.

Some of the walls have obvious sword marks, indicating that there have been fights in the past.

Chen Ping walked forward for a while, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

'I don't have a clue. ’

It's too complicated here. ’

'I haven't seen anyone after walking for a long time, am I the only one who has fallen in?' ’

He looked around, thought for a moment, and then walked back.

Go back to a stone house in a secluded palace that you just passed, take out the Nine Palaces Psychedelic Array and the Six Xun Six Yao Defense Formation, and arrange them in the stone house.

The defensive layer on his body was removed, he ate a pill of Qi Gathering Pill, and laid a layer of spirit ore raw ore.

Then begin to meditate within it to restore spiritual power.

When he was fighting just now, he was in the process of killing the enemy, and he used a full-level Qingmang sword that consumed a lot of spiritual power.

Let his spiritual power be consumed too much.

More importantly, he opened multiple layers of defense throughout the process, and these defense layers, whether they are magic weapons or spells, require spiritual power to maintain, and this process is extremely spiritual power-consuming.

It was only now that his spiritual power was more than 4 times that of other cultivators of the same realm, so he could use multiple layers of defense so luxuriously and unscrupulously.

If it were for other monks, their spiritual power would have dried up long ago.

Now that we don't know what the underground palace is like, for the sake of prudence, it's better to replenish the spiritual power first.

Half an hour later, he pressed his hands down and exhaled.

The spiritual power reserve was restored to almost eight layers.

Instead of rushing out, he took out the half-body of the honest monk from the storage bag.

"Wandering souls, how to live, the three souls will be early, the seven spirits are coming, please five ways today, collect the soul and leave the body."

"Up!"

With Chen Ping's low roar, a faint soul floated out of his body, and his soul void body kept flickering.

Chen Ping summoned countless souls, and he was very clear about this situation, knowing that such souls would not last long, so he immediately began to ask the soul.

"Why did you kill me?"

“.”

"What is hidden in the mysterious ruins?"

“.”

After more than a dozen questions, the soul dissipated.

The doubts in Chen Ping's heart were almost understood.

It turned out that this person was the secret destroyer in the mouth of Brother Jin, that is, the follower of the withered old man on the back of the beast.

As for the words of the old man to bewitch these destroyers, it is the same as what the old man said in public, but in more detail.

That is, the mysterious ruins are the key to blocking the passage from the demon world to the human world.

As long as this place is destroyed, it means that the passage from the demon world to the human world has been opened, and it will bring endless disasters to the entire human world.

This group of saboteurs in the shadows were originally righteous people, and they belonged to the kind of people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the overall situation.

There are few such people, but there are.

In Chen Ping's questioning, this honest monk claimed to be voluntary and claimed to be for the sake of righteousness.

As for whether they are controlled by drugs, Gu worms, or other unknown means, they have lost their minds, and are willing to sacrifice themselves to serve the withered old man?

This is not known.

After all, if they were really controlled by these means, they would not have known about it themselves.

Chen Ping also asked him who his companions were.

Yes, though very little.

Unfortunately, they fight alone, and occasionally cooperate in a temporary capacity, each without knowing who they are.

A small number of the monks in the village who went out and never returned, were killed by them.

Of course, they are too few to massacre their fellow soldiers, and they won't do so, especially for monks who aim to find the Ancient Teleportation Circle, and they will even be eager to help, and they will only focus on assassinating monks who are particularly interested in attacking mysterious sites.

Today's secret attack on Chen Ping is because of this.

The honest monk had seen Chen Ping cast the Heavenly Punishment Thunder and knew the power of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder. Although the attack power of the bat demon beast is not very strong, it is extremely flexible, and even has some magic spells, which are not easy to kill, and because of this, the bat demon beast can often make the human monks of the same realm miserable.

But Chen Ping's Heavenly Punishment Thunder is suspected of cheating, specializing in bat monsters.

Once you cooperate with the mid-to-late stage monks of Jindan, one main control and one main attack may change the battle situation.

It was precisely Chen Ping who showed only the monk of the first layer of Jindan in the battle.

Therefore, Chen Ping became the target of the honest monk.

As for who is the withered old man in this ruin?

The honest monk didn't know.

Is there anyone else besides the withered old man? And what's going on inside the site? Is the current underground palace where Chen Ping is located an ancient tomb or some kind of cultivation site?

None of this information was known to the honest monks.

The honest monk had only heard that there was an underground palace in the ruins.

In the stone house.

Chen Ping took out the soul whip and whipped it down, and a skull suddenly appeared on the soul whip. Then cast the Dragon Fire Technique, burning the honest monk to ashes while dispelling the remnants of the almost non-existent soul.

He remembered what Xiyue had said to him - when she first entered the Canglan Grassland, she felt that this place might be related to the Demon Race.

This was her instinct as a channel confinement provider, and there was no evidence.

But now, judging from the words of the honest monk, this should be a key place where the passage is imprisoned.

The old man should not be lying.

It's just that.

'Why is the Western Wilderness the confinement point of the passage, and this is also the case?' How many confinement points are there? Or are there many passages from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm? ’

According to what the old man said, there is no passage out of the Canglan Grassland here, but why is Jiang Youwei still tireless about it? ’

'In the war a hundred years ago, what did Jiang Youwei spy on? ’

'Who is withholding important information?' ’

Either way, neither of them could be trusted. It doesn't matter what the real situation is, there are only two things I have to do: first, survive this big fight. Second, go out from the Canglan grassland. ’

Survive!

Get out there!

After Chen Ping cleaned up the remains of the honest monk, his divine sense reached into the spirit beast bag and looked at the snow falcon.

Still dying.

Take out the Snow Falcon, give it a rejuvenation technique, feed it another Compound Body Pill, and then put it back in the Spirit Beast Bag.

Get up and retrieve the formation equipment and walk out of the stone house.

"Knock, knock!"

As Chen Ping went deeper into the dark and damp tunnel, he could hear the sound of tapping in front of him from time to time, but when he carefully touched it, he found that it was empty.

'This dungeon is full of weirdness. ’

Chen Ping maintained a high degree of concentration, covered with evil charms, and wrapped the soul whip around his waist.

The evil talisman has been slightly hot since entering this dungeon. This is normal, as long as there is filth, even if it is a goblin spirit, the evil charm will heat up slightly, but these spirits will not attack humans.

Or that it does not have the ability to attack humans.

Well?

Stone House?

Chen Ping was slightly stunned, he went into the house to check, judging from various details, this is the stone house where he meditated and rested just now.

What's the situation?

I came back after a long time.

Was it the intricate problems of the tunnel that made me walk back again? Or is there something wrong with the tunnel itself?

Am I lost in my mind?

Suddenly.

"Knock, knock."

Just as Chen Ping frowned and thought about breaking the game, there was another knocking sound in the tunnel in front of him, but there was nothing under the perception of his divine sense.

Chen Ping dodged, approaching the wall to completely restrain his breath and remain vigilant.

The thud seemed to pause, then after a long moment and then again, slowly moving from distance to nearer.

100 zhang, 80 zhang, 60 zhang......

Thirty zhang ......

Chen Ping didn't wait any longer, the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword slashed down, and a chilling sword light instantly lit up the entire tunnel.

The sword light reached the wall, and the stone wall was blown apart, and the knocking sound suddenly disappeared without a trace. At the same time, a shadow moved rapidly across the stone wall.

Coming in the direction of Chen Ping.

The evil talisman in Chen Ping's arms suddenly emitted a scorching heat, and the lines were bright.

Evil?

Chen Ping was taken aback.

"Broken."

Several evil talismans were slapped on the stone wall by him in an instant, and the evil talisman flew quickly along the wall under the drive of spiritual power, and the shining spiritual power rubbed the wall and sparks flew everywhere.

At the same time, a dense aura of thunder and lightning filled the entire tunnel.

The tunnel, which had been pitch black, suddenly became as bright as day.

Immediately after, a shrill scream accompanied the aura, and a figure sprang out of the wall and fled into the darkness.

Want to escape?

Die!

Chen Ping's palms didn't stop, and countless aura of thunder and lightning filled the entire tunnel again.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

The shadow was inaccessible.

Suddenly it came to naught. Only the shrill and piercing screams were left to echo in the dungeon for a long time.

Chen Ping felt that the evil talisman in his arms was no longer violently hot, so he relaxed.

'Huh, this evil cult should be a grade more powerful than the red-clothed evil cult that I encountered at the foot of the Lingxiao Sect Ruins. ’

This was the first time that Chen Ping had used a full-level Heavenly Punishment Thunder to fight against the evil spirit.

The effect is not bad.

When he repelled the red-clothed evil at the foot of Lingxiao Sect Mountain, he used a lot of evil charms and spells to only repel the evil spirit. Now this one is much more powerful from the point of view of evil energy, but it is directly destroyed in a few blows.

Chen Ping, who understood the power of the heavenly punishment thunder, had a sense of security.

He took out a few evil talismans again, replaced the talisman that had been consumed just now, and stuck it in his arms.

Wait a while before moving on.

This time, he never returned to the stone house just now.

It seems that it is the evil that causes the self to be lost. And because the dungeon itself is full of filth, the evil talisman has been faintly hot, so I ignore this. ’

……

A dungeon.

A young monk smuggled vigilantly through the dark tunnels, his desire to survive made him unusually careful.

He had just experienced the demon battle in the valley, and he knew the danger here, and now that he didn't have Jindan seniors by his side, he would die if he wasn't careful.

But at that moment, he saw that the walls of a tunnel were carved with dense words, which he could not even discern meant. As he walked along the stone wall, he saw a boxy stone painting carved into the wall.

In the picture scroll are three lifelike pictures of sisters out of the bath.

Realistic, the skin seems to be glowing.

The young monk was vigilant, took two steps back, and subconsciously touched the evil breaking talisman in his arms, and was relieved to find that the evil breaking talisman was not burning.

I couldn't help but take another look at the bath map.

Suddenly, he noticed that the sister in the painting was actually winking at him. He was shocked, and quickly shook his head, sensing that the evil talisman in his arms was not bright, and then looked at the stone painting again.

He swallowed, and he had been very vigilant and reached out to touch the stone painting.

At this moment, the evil talisman in his arms burned in an instant, and before he could exclaim, he only saw the girl in the painting holding him with one hand.

The next second, he was dragged into the painting.

There was not a single sound during the whole process.

The whole tunnel was quiet and terrifying, as if the young monk had never reappeared.

……

The other side.

"Bang."

Chen Ping finally killed a third-order snake demon, replenished a Qi Gathering Pill, and dragged the snake demon into the storage bag before continuing to sneak.

The space in the tunnel is narrow, and it is necessary to avoid the cave collapsing, so it is not a good place to fight.

If you can avoid it, you can avoid it.

Ever since Chen Ping walked out of the barrier created by the evil spirit, he began to gradually see the traces of some monks walking, and he could also see the slime of some demon beasts left on the ground or on the walls.

As I continued to walk inside, I finally came to the end of this section of the tunnel and entered a cave.

In the cave, there is also a group of monks resting there.

It's not just a rest, either.

Two of the six monks were banging on the walls, looking for something.

The other two sat together and bowed their heads to discuss something, and in their whispered conversation, Chen Ping learned that they seemed to want to explore the treasures here.

Chen Ping thought about it, but decided to enter the cave mansion to see if he could find out any valuable information.

When these people saw Chen Ping enter the wide and empty cave mansion, they immediately stopped discussing and stopped looking everywhere.

"It's great to see a companion here. Is Daoyou alone? One of the Jindan monks hurriedly got up to say hello and looked behind Chen Ping again.

Among these monks, two were in the early stage of Jindan, and the rest were foundation builders.

"Yes, have you found anything?" Chen Ping said tentatively.

Having been plotted against by honest monks, he now became even more distrustful of these fellow monks, who were not entirely trusted.

Always be vigilant.

“……”

After chatting, I realized that these people didn't know where this place was, and they were still in the process of exploring.

And the cave here is not the end, it seems to be just a resting point on the way.

When he got up and walked on, the Jindan monk grinned:

"Fellow Daoist, there are many secret paths to move forward this time, in order to find the key to get out of the Canglan Grassland as much as possible, how about I go separately?"

It can be seen that they are also a little wary of Chen Ping.

As for whether it is really for convenience to find a way out of the Canglan grassland, it is difficult to say. Chen Ping saw in their eyes the greed for the treasures of the underground palace.

One more person is one more person who is dirty.

Chen Ping can understand that the Canglan grassland is already materially scarce, and it has long been desperate for all kinds of resources after being trapped for decades. Now that I have finally arrived at a site where there may be various treasures, it is naturally extremely worthwhile to get a good resource.

It's obviously much more cost-effective than going out and venturing out while in the village.

"That's great, it's really easier to find a way." Chen Ping said immediately.

He wished he had split up.

Who knows if there are potential saboteurs among these people, so be careful.

"Daoyou is righteous." Najin Dan grinned.

Chen Ping smiled and didn't break it, and he didn't say anything.

Such a dungeon, under the garrison of the withered old man for hundreds of years, I am afraid that traps have already been arranged, just like the evil beasts and demon beasts that Chen Ping encountered.

Even if there are treasures, most of them are also in danger, a crisis that prevents the monk from exploring the dungeon.

If you have a life to find it, you have to have a life to take it.

These Chen Ping knew that it was impossible for these two Jindan monks not to know that the monks who could survive here were no one who was stupid.

They just don't want to pass up this opportunity.

It is useless to say more.
