The sudden black clouds instantly obscured the moon in the sky, making the surrounding environment extremely gloomy.

The distance between the Ten Thousand Skull Cliff and the cut deer is only more than ten miles, and the two of them arrived in the blink of an eye.

"What is that black cloud?" Lin Jingzhen couldn't help but ask the sect master's wife.

"Yin tide." The Sect Master's Lady replied, "Every month, the Yin Qi in the Ten Thousand Skull Cliff becomes more and more intense. ”

Lin was taken aback, "Since the Yin Qi is so strong, why do we still have to go in, can't we wait for the Yin Qi to weaken before entering?" ”

"You have a lot of sense, but this yin will decline, so we are waiting for the opportunity, when the moon sets in the west and the sun rises in the east, we can take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in."

"Do you mean that the middle of each month is the time when yin energy is at its peak and when it is declining?" Lin was stunned and suddenly realized.

"You're not stupid, you can understand it at a moment's notice."

When Lin was about to say that he was not stupid, the sect master's wife had already fallen to the edge of the Ten Thousand Skull Cliff, and was staring at the mouth of the valley that entered the Ten Thousand Skull Cliff in front of her.

"That's the only way to enter the Ten Thousand Skulls Cliff and go straight to the bottom of the cliff." The Sect Master's Lady pointed to the valley where there were only a few people walking on foot.

"Why don't you just fly up, from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff?" Lin said suspiciously.

"No, because there is an extremely terrifying creature flying over the cliff, this creature is extremely sensitive to flesh and blood, and can shave people to bones in an instant, even if I want to get out of it, it will take a little effort."

The cliff is full of dangers, and the cliffs are inhabited by tens of thousands of ghost crows, which are extremely sensitive to flesh creatures, and often swarm to shave people to the bone.

"You can't even get out of it?" Lin Jingzhen felt scared for a while, he originally thought about whether he could sneak in, according to the current situation, if he sneaked in, on this day next year, the weeds in front of his tomb would definitely be very vigorous.

"I haven't tried, but it should be about the same, even if I can get out of it, I have to take off my skin." The Sect Master's Lady said.

"Hey, it seems that there are still people guarding the valley mouth." Lin Jingzhen suddenly found that not far from the valley mouth, there were several figures standing cross-legged on the spot.

"That's the degraded Outer Gate Elder." The sect master's wife replied, and she had already come to the edge of the valley.

Seeing this, Lin Jing followed closely.

"Who?" The few degraded outer door elders also seemed to have noticed the two people who suddenly appeared, and they opened their eyes one after another.

The sect master's wife directly showed the token of her identity and said: "I want to go in, you don't need it, it's a big gift." ”

It turned out that when the few degraded outer gate elders found out that the woman who showed their identity plates was the sect master's wife, they all got up and made a big salute, but they were all stopped by the sect master's wife.

"Madam Sect Master, do you think you can ask someone to send us something to keep us warm or hungry for the sake of our hard work at the mouth of the valley?"

The Sect Master's Lady frowned and did not speak.

He naturally knew that Yin Jiuhan had killed one of them, but who knew how long it had been, and they hadn't let people go out to find food.

"Lady of the Sect Master." One of the men tried to ask again.

"I'll arrange it when I get back." The sect master's wife still gave them a thought, and then led Lin Jingzhen to the valley mouth.

Lin Jingzhen naturally recognized these people, but he didn't set an example, just followed behind the sect master's wife and slowly walked into the valley.

Just less than two steps away from the valley mouth, suddenly a gloomy cold wind blew out from the valley mouth, and the yin wind exuded a biting cold, which made people can't help but tighten up and shiver.

"We have to wait for an hour, and the Yin Qi production capacity is weakened." After the sect master's wife finished speaking, she found a place at the entrance of the cave and sat down.

Lin Jingzhen had no choice but to stay aside, using the aura to drive away the bone-penetrating coldness brought by the yin qi.

The elders of the outer gate naturally also noticed their actions and did not say anything, after all, they had been guarding the entrance of the cave, and naturally they had already discovered the law here.

An hour, in the blink of an eye, has passed.

Above the sky, the black clouds had dispersed, and a slight golden light appeared on the edge of the sky, which was a sign of the rising sun.

The Sect Master's Lady opened her eyes at this time, slowly stood up, took a step, and leaned into the valley unhurriedly.

Lin was shocked to see her walk in, and without hesitation, leaned in and walked in.

Sure enough, as the suzerain's wife said, after the yin is prosperous, it is the time of yin decline.

The yin wind in the valley is reduced, and it is no longer unbearable, and there is no need to ward off the cold.

"There is a step in this valley mouth that is going down, don't step on the air, otherwise you will fall down and provoke the ghost crow, and I will not come to the rescue." After the sect master's wife finished speaking, her body leaned down, and the distance between her and Lin Jingzhen was only two or three steps.

Lin Jingzhen followed closely behind, not daring to be too far away from him.

The Ten Thousand Skull Cliff is a huge pit that opens down on the plain, and he doesn't know how deep this pit is, but looking at this staircase so steep, it should be more than ten thousand steps, and maybe even more.

Maybe it was when the yin was declining, and there was a lot less miasma in the sky above the cliff, allowing him to see things within twenty zhang of the opening, but he used his divine sense to probe it and found that inside the Ten Thousand Skull Cliff, his divine sense was actually isolated.

"Don't use your divine sense to investigate, otherwise you will provoke the ghost crow, and I will not come to my rescue." As soon as the sect master's wife finished reminding, a few "quack" sounds suddenly came from the cliff not far to the left, and then four or five black shadows flew towards this side.

"You used your senses?" The sect master's wife was stunned.

"Well, before you even reminded me, I searched with my senses." Lin was stunned and spread his hands innocently.

The sect master's wife gave him a blank look, and then said, "Fight quickly, don't let them call for help." ”

Before the words fell, the sect master's wife grabbed it with her empty hand, and before a ghost crow could react, it was pinched and exploded by him on the spot, turned into a blood mist, and fell to the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing this, Lin was stunned and pulled out his long sword.

At this time, when the Sect Master's Lady killed the second ghost crow in the air, she opened her mouth to remind: "Kill them in the air, don't let their blood stain your sword." ”

After Lin was stunned, he swung his sword and slashed, directly casting the winter solstice sword intent, and the winter solstice sword intent was like a flash of white light, instantly freezing two of the ghost crows.

The ghost crow was endowed with the sword intent of the winter solstice sword to strangle the vitality in the body, turned into two ice sculptures, lost its balance, and fell from the cliff.

At this time, the Sect Master's Lady had already killed the last Devil Crow in the air and said, "Let's go." ”

Then, she slowly took a step and went down the stairs.

Lin Jingzhen withdrew his long sword and followed.

The two of them walked for about half an hour, and they did not see the end of the steps, which seemed to have been artificially mined, and there were carved marks everywhere.

The steps are very steep, and walking on them is a kind of fear of heights.

As he walked down step by step, there were suddenly a few rattling sounds below.

"It's a rook." When Lin Jingzhen flashed this thought, he saw several ghost crows standing on the steps below, they were eating a ghost crow that was killed by the sect master's wife in the air.

Or maybe it was because when the sect master's wife killed these ghost crows in the air, the flesh and blood that broke apart and the smell of blood emitted attracted other ghost crows to prey.

"You can do it." The sect master's wife glanced back at Lin Jing.

Lin was stunned, and immediately used the winter solstice sword intent to freeze these ghost crows, and at the same time, he also strangled their vitality.

Due to the freezing effect, the ghost crow killed by Lin did not emit a bloody smell.

The two of them stepped over the corpse of the crow and continued down the stone steps.

After walking for another half an hour, he still didn't see the end of the stone steps, Lin Jingzhen couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Senior, how long is this stone step?" ”

The Sect Master's Lady said: "The Abyss has its own ladder. ”

"Ten thousand feet long." Lin Jingzhen smiled bitterly, it seemed that it would take two or three hours to reach the bottom.

"I forgot to tell you, if you see a swarthy hole the size of half a human by the stairs below, don't make a noise."

"Why?"

"If you listen to me, I can't hurt you."

"Okay."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw that a half-human-height black hole really appeared on the rock wall next to the stairs below.

"Is that the one?"

"Hmm."

After the two finished speaking, they calmed down and quietly slipped through the dark hole.

Not long after passing through the entrance of the cave, dozens of small and swarthy holes appeared densely on the stepped rock wall in front of them.

"What is this?" Lin took a deep breath.

"I didn't expect there to be so many ghost-faced spiders." The Sect Master's Lady said in a deep voice.

"In the past?"

"In the past, try not to make a movement." After the sect master's wife finished speaking, she took a step and slowly leaned down, followed by Lin Jingzhen.

The two of them had just gone deep into the Ghost-Faced Spider Cave not far away, when a creaking sound suddenly came from the stone steps below.

The two of them looked at each other, and saw that next to the steps below, there was a ghost-faced spider, eating a ghost-headed crow, which looked very much like one of the ones that was frozen into an ice sculpture by Lin Jing's sword intent.

Why is this ghost-faced spider so familiar?

Lin was taken aback, and his mind flashed to the ghost-faced spiders he had seen on the Shangguan's ship, and those ghost-faced spiders seemed to be exactly the same as the ghost-faced spiders he had seen here.

Lin Jingzhen couldn't help but ask the sect master's wife, "Are these ghost-faced spiders only here?" ”

"It seems like it's the only one here." The Sect Master's Lady said.

Lin frowned, "I've seen this creature before, it's almost identical. ”

"Where have you seen it?" The Sect Master's Lady asked.

"At sea."

"At sea?" The sect master's wife underestimated it, and then said, "Can you kill the enemy with one move?" ”

"Yes." After Lin finished speaking, he raised his sword and swung it towards the ghost-faced spider, the white light flashed, and with a snort, the ghost-faced spider was immediately frozen in ice and lost its life qi.

But at this moment, another ghost-faced spider just poked out of a dark hole next to the ghost-faced spider, and this ghost-faced spider could just see that its own people were being killed, and even let out a piercing "chirp" strange sound.

"Oops!" The faces of the two changed one after another.
