Chapter 21 Ghost Valley Plank Road

More than ten days later, Feng Zi came to a chaotic stone hill fifty miles outside the outskirts of Black Rock City.

What he has seen and heard in these days has made him more deeply aware of the severity of the current shape.

The demon clan is raging, the sparks of war have been ignited, the villages and towns of a slightly larger scale can still resist by force, and some small and medium-sized villages and towns are almost empty.

Either they were destroyed by the demon clan, or they moved to a city with stronger defenses.

Even Feng Zi saw a medium-sized village slaughtered by the demon clan, but he only had the ability to kill as a demon general, slightly calming the grief of the people's souls, and did not have the ability to kill the demons.

In terms of reproduction ability, the demon clan is the second largest clan in the world this time compared to the human race, and when it comes to individual combat ability, the strange demon clan is even more talented, and in the face of the demon soldiers who are surging up like a tide, Feng Zi can only choose to retreat.

Although personal strength is important, before reaching the level of Cheng Dù, the power of his subordinates is the key to determining the victory or defeat of a battle.

The cultivation of martial arts, in addition to talent and exercises, persistent penance and sufficient resources are also extremely important, Feng Zi does not have a very good way to improve the strength of the Feng family, so he came here.

Feng Zi stood by the chaotic stone hill, raised his eyes and confirmed his location.

"Black Rock City, Soul Burial Hills, this is the area!"

He clearly remembered that after the large-scale attack of the demon clan in his previous life, the Qi Kingdom quickly declined, the royal family declined, and there was a martial artist who used the cultivation of the early stage of the True Qi Realm to defend a remote city called "Guansi" for three months.

After that person did this with the help of the puppet secret technique, although he had never entered the innate martial arts before his death, later generations recognized his nickname - "Qiao Zun".

According to the normal process, a few years later, Qiaozun would accidentally break into the "Ghost Valley Plank Road" here, and obtained the inheritance of the sage, and only began to rise gradually after the secret art of the mechanism was mastered.

Feng Zi understood that the war between the two clans had now been ignited, and the conflict and friction between the two sides would continue, and it would eventually form a flame that would burn the prairie fire.

The general trend is the same, and no human or demon will can stop the wheels of history from rolling forward.

So he came here in advance now, wanting to get the inheritance of the ghost valley and learn the method of puppet making, so as to strengthen the family's strength and survive the initial difficulties.

According to the statistics of later generations, the first wave of the demon race's invasion of human beings caused the number of human beings on the Big 6 to plummet to eighty!

Nearly two billion people died under the minions of the demon clan, how miserable!

Before that explosion, he had to be fully prepared.

"However, I only know the general direction of the 'Guigu Plank Road', but I don't know how to enter, and I need to search carefully. ”

Thinking like this, Feng Zi began to search within the scope of the Soul Burial Cave.

He searched very carefully, did not let go of any clues, and put an end to the possibility of any misses.

Time passed minute by minute, Feng Zi drank a sip of the water he carried with him when he was thirsty, and when he was hungry, he would kill demons and take meat, roast them and eat them. Feeling sleepy, he sat on the ground and meditated on his cultivation.

The Burial Soul Gang is extremely remote and desolate, and for seven days, Feng Zi has encountered many demon soldiers and demon clans, but he has never even met a shadow of a human being.

Recently, the world has not been peaceful, this kind of place is already dangerous, the environment is still very cold and infiltrating, ordinary people have to take a detour even if they pass by, if it weren't for Feng Zi with a clear purpose, he wouldn't have come to this kind of ghost place.

On this day, just when Feng Zi spent a lot of energy searching to no avail, ** was unbearable, his afterglow suddenly caught a trace of unusualness.

It was a fist-sized pile of rubble, almost identical to the stones that could be found everywhere in the rest of the Soul Burial Hills, but Feng Zi could see the difference.

Hesitating about the terrain and stony reasons, the perennial wind on the hill is howling, but all stones, no matter how big or small, are polished by the yin wind to lose their edges and corners, and some of the weathered ones will even shatter if they are lightly touched, and they will not be as angular as these stones in front of them.

Feng Zi stretched out his hand and wanted to pick up a piece to study it, but the stone seemed to grow on the ground as if it had taken root.

He was angry, and he inhaled sharply, but the inconspicuous stone did not move.

Seeing this, Feng Zi was not worried but happy: "With my current strength, I can't move it with all my strength, and there is really something abnormal here." ”

He crouched down and looked closely, only then did he recognize the essence of these "stones".

"Absorb external force for your own use, constantly compress your own body shape, enhance the texture, like the birth of a star......"

"This is Star Rock!"

A hint of surprise appeared in Feng Zi's eyes.

Xingchen Rock is not eye-catching in appearance, but in fact it is a first-class earth-based treasure, which is very suitable for refining spiritual martial arts, and if an earth-attribute innate martial artist sees these things, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will have to find their roots and pull them out one by one.

However, Feng Zi's cultivation of pure yang internal strength is a fire genus, and these Xingchen Rocks are just tasteless chicken ribs for him, and they are not very needed.

Now he just wants to enter the secret passage and find the inheritance, if he loses the opportunity for a few Star Rocks, it will be more than worth the loss.

Feng Zi stood up, and after some temptation, he found that there were nine rooted star rocks under his feet, and they could not be pulled up with violence, but they could move in parallel. In addition, there are sixteen shallow grooves in the ground into which the star rocks can be moved.

"Is it to achieve a certain pattern, or to form a specific pattern, to touch the mechanism?"

After trying more than ten possible laws to no avail, Feng Zi had a flash of inspiration in his mind and acted quickly.

The nine astral rocks form two triangles that are superimposed on each other, and if they are connected, they will appear to be a ......

"Hexagram!"

"All the puppets of Qiaozun Wu You are marked with the mark of the six-pointed star, I have seen one with my own eyes in my previous life, and there will be no mistake!"

After returning the last Star Rock to its place, Feng Zi took two steps back.

Buzz Buzz......

The Star Rock and the grooved stone disk sink into the ground, revealing a bottomless dark tunnel.

Feng Zi threw a piece of gravel into it, and judged the depth according to the strength of the echo.

"Sanzhang!"

With a height of three zhang, ordinary people may break their legs if they fall, but it is difficult to seal the purple.

He leaped into the secret passage.

It was pitch black all around, and a faint starlight from the entrance of the cave was useless, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and Feng Zi couldn't see anything clearly, let alone explore the ruins.

So he took out the fire fold and lit the torch made of the demon beast grease collected these days.

Scold.

A soft orange glow illuminates the road ahead, revealing a quiet path.

The dark passage extends deeper into the ground, connecting to the unknown shore, and from a distance, people can't help but think of the man-devouring monster.

Feng Zi was fearless and strolled forward.

"It's hard to come to the Guigu Plank Road once, I must find out!"

Half an hour later, he came to a majestic and bright underworld.

Judging from the furnishings, this place should have belonged to a senior master.

The rock wall of the cave is decorated with various colored light crystals, so that the cave is not as dark as the previous path, and the ground is very luxuriously paved with Lantian warm jade.

What caught his attention the most was a purple-gold miniature treasure chest.

Feng Zi had a hunch that the contents of that small box were the purpose of his trip.

He didn't take it lightly.

In this empty cave, there is a strong ** smell, and there are three human bones piled up in the corner not far away.

The clothes on these bones have decayed, but the bones are as clear as jade, like works of art that have been carved and polished with the utmost care.

Feng Zi squinted his eyes for a while, determining the time of these people's deaths.

"They died here 300 years ago. ”

Just as Feng Zi was about to step forward to investigate carefully, the humanoid puppet on the side suddenly moved.

Swish!

Leaving an afterimage on the spot, the giant puppet instantly appeared in front of Feng Zi's eyes, and a cold giant iron fist was aimed at his head.

"So fast!"

A shadow shrouded him, Feng Zi felt the crisis in advance, but his body couldn't keep up with the reflexes of his consciousness.

The iron fist hovered above his head, and a trace of cold sweat flowed from Feng Zi's forehead, but he didn't make any countermeasures.

He knows a thing or two about agency puppets.

Generally speaking, as long as Feng Zi does not show his offensive intentions, he will not touch the guardian mechanism of this cave puppet.

Moreover, judging from the corpses that were swept away before, each of the three unlucky intruders had the fifth-level cultivation of the martial arts, which was not much different from the current Feng Zi, but these people were all killed with one blow.

The one who killed the three unlucky seniors was obviously the giant puppet in front of him.

"In his previous life, Qiao Zun had not reached the innate realm at his peak, how did he pass this test?"

Just as Feng Zi calmed down his breath and racked his brains to think about countermeasures, the giant puppet suddenly moved his jaw, and a cold mechanical voice came out: "Puppet, puppet, the, Dao, of, my, righteousness, yes, what, what." ”

"The mystery of the way of the puppet?"

Feng Zi finally understood why Qiaozun was able to pass through this place in the first place.

Qiaozun's cultivation is low, but with his mastery of the art of puppetry, he solved the obsession of the predecessors of the Guigu Valley with words and cleared the customs with the royal road.

But Feng Zi spent most of his energy on martial arts, and he could only be regarded as rough about the way of puppets, and he didn't have too much in-depth understanding, but he couldn't use the methods that Qiaozun could use.

"Since the royal road is not passable, then I will defeat it by force and break through with 'domineering'!"

Feng Zi wiped his eyebrows, and a three-foot-long crimson sword appeared in his hand.

"Answer, answer, wrong, wrong. ”

The sapphire in the giant golem's eyes turned pitch black: "Wipe it out!"

It raised its hand and aimed it at Feng Zi and struck an iron fist.
