Tang Rou and Ruan Qingmo finally managed to see the light source before the torch in their hands was completely extinguished.

"It's an exit!"

Tang Rou was so excited that she almost slipped down the stone stairs, but fortunately, Ruan Qingmo's hand never left Tang Rou.

"Be careful," Ruan Qingmo looked back, it was completely pitch black underneath, no matter where the exit in front of them led, they had no choice now, "Let's go up." ”

"Good. ”

Tang Rou agreed, threw away the torch that had already been extinguished in his hand, and stuck his hands and feet on the stone ladder, the steeper the stone ladder became, and it would be safer to climb it.

Ruan Qingmo was a little slower, deliberately moving some distance away from Tang Rou, thinking that if Tang Rou accidentally slipped down, he would also have a chance to catch her.

Tang Rou has always been cautious, and she also knows that there must not be any mistakes, if she is not careful, it will be even more difficult to come up again.

With the efforts of the two of them, Tang Rou and Ruan Qingmo finally succeeded in reaching the ground, but the scene in front of them surprised them.

What appeared in front of them was a small village that looked very depressed, and the place where they came out looked more like a well from above.

Tang Rou looked around, this small village was surrounded by mountains, and there was no exit in sight.

"We ...... Where is this?"

"Let's go in and see, maybe there's some clue in the village. ”

There was no other way, Tang Rou had no choice but to nod and walk towards the small village with Ruan Qingmo.

The two of them walked around the village, but they didn't see anyone, but they were not surprised by this result, and at the first glance they saw this existence, they didn't expect anyone in the village.

"Sure enough. ”

Tang Rou found a stone pier and sat down, rubbing her already sore legs, and said to Ruan Qingmo: "Let's rest for a while, I'm almost tired and paralyzed." ”

Ruan Qingmo looked up at the sky, and from the gradually dimming light, he could know that they had entered the forbidden land of the Absolute Heart Valley for a long time, not only separated from them in the waves, but also arrived at a place that was even more unknown.

"I don't know, we're not in the Valley of Absolute Heart. Ruan Qingmo whispered to himself, and then said to Tang Ju, "It's going to be dark soon, you stay here and don't move, I'll go find some firewood." ”

"Don't!"

Tang Rou immediately stood up, "It's better for us to go together, what if we also get separated?"

"You ......"

"Alright, I can hold on. ”

Tang Rou said and pulled Ruan Qingmo out.

The two of them picked up some dry firewood outside, and were very lucky to find a water source.

Returning to the small village with dry firewood and water, although she was really tired, Tang Rou's mood finally improved.

After staying up all night in the village, just after dawn the next day, the two of them began to discuss what to do next.

"We can't wait here forever, can we?" Tang Ju said, "We have to find a way to find them in the waves." ”

That's right, but Tang Rou herself doesn't know how to find them.

Now, the two of them are still in the Absolute Heart Valley, and they don't know exactly where they are in the Absolute Heart Valley.

"Let's do it," Ruan Qingmo suggested, "Let's look around this village again to see if there are any clues, and if we really can't find anything, we are choosing a direction to leave." ”

Tang Rou thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, let's look for it again." ”

This time, the two decided to go door-to-door to look carefully, and there were not many houses in this small village anyway.

After looking for a few houses, they found that although this village is small, every family has a very complete set of things at home, but judging from the thick floating soil, the people in this village have left here for a long time.

"Did you leave on your own initiative?"

Tang Rou asked curiously.

Ruan Qingmo nodded, and his tone was very affirmative, "That's right, you see that in these houses, the furniture is not only very complete, but also very neat. ”

"yes. ”

However, this also made Tang Rou even more puzzled, "Why did they leave here?"

"I don't know. ”

When the two said this, just as they were about to leave this house and go to the next one, Tang Rou suddenly saw a small sculpture in the corner of this courtyard that looked like a Buddha statue.

"Wait, look there!"

Ruan Qingmo looked in the direction Tang Rou was pointing, and it was a sculpture about a foot high.

"Go over and see. ”

The two walked in, and sure enough, it was a Buddha statue, covered in thick dust.

Tang Rou looked at it and reached out to touch it, but was stopped by Ruan Qingmo's wrist.

"Be careful, I'd better do it. ”

Ruan Qingmo grabbed Tang Rou's wrist with one hand, and gently pushed the small Buddha statue with the other.

"It seems to be moving. ”

"Then get him out of the way. ”

Ruan Qingmo let go of Tang Rou's hand and said, "Let's go farther." ”

Although Tang Rou was puzzled, she still obediently followed Ruan Qingmo farther away.

After feeling that the distance was almost close, Ruan Qingmo pulled out the dagger on his waist, aimed it at the small Buddha statue and threw it over.

The power of the dagger pushed the Buddha statue to move, and just as the Buddha statue moved away from its original position, countless small short arrows shot out from under the original Buddha statue in an instant.

"Oh my God!" Tang Rou looked at Ruan Qingmo, "It's good that you stopped me, otherwise I would have been shot into a hornet's nest! ”

"There's nothing to thank, it should be over now. ”

Ruan Qingmo took out an iron box from under the Buddha statue, and there was only a key in the iron box.

"Only this?" Tang Rou took the iron box from Ruan Qingmo's hand, and rummaged through it carefully, there were no other mechanisms on the box, and he looked a little lost, "There is only one key, what can it do? Could it be that there is some secret room or something like this?"

"Maybe," Ruan Qingmo looked at the key in his hand, "It is definitely not a simple key to be hidden in such a place. ”

Tang Rou immediately said excitedly, "Maybe it's the key to the exit! Now, as long as we find the exit, we can leave here!"

Ruan Qingmo's thoughts were different from Tang Rou's, but he didn't feel like hitting Tang Rou, so he chose not to say it.

"Let's keep looking, maybe we'll find other clues. ”

"Uh-huh!"

Tang Rou's confidence suddenly improved a lot, and she seemed to be much more energetic.

However, the two men rummaged through the village, and found nothing that seemed useful except for the key.

"What should I do next?" Tang Rou rubbed her already rumbling belly, "There is no place like a secret room in the village, and I don't know what that key is for." ”

"You're hungry, shall we go find something to eat first?"

Tang Rou agreed with this proposal very much, no matter what she wanted to do next, she had to have strength.

Before I could get out of the village, I heard the footsteps of someone coming in.

Hearing the footsteps, Ruan Qingmo immediately stopped, but Tang Rou was happy, "Could it be the waves of them?"

With that, he prepared to follow the footsteps to find it.

Ruan Qingmo hurriedly grabbed Tang Rou, "Wait a minute, let's go in first." ”

Ruan Qingmo pulled Tang Rou into the house next to him and gently closed the door, leaving only a small crack in the door.

"What are you doing?"

"It doesn't seem like it's a wave of them. ”

"Who's going to be?"

"Shhh ”

The two of them leaned into the crack in the door and looked out.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Tang Rou's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, she hoped that it was the waves that were rippling them, but as the footsteps got closer, she also noticed that something was wrong.

Because the footsteps are slow and fast, and there is still a bit of chaos, according to the footsteps, it can be judged that there is only one person on the other side.

The footsteps finally approached, and they also saw the true face of the man, who was covered by messy hair and a full beard, and could not see his face clearly, but they could tell from the eyes that this man was definitely a very fierce person.

Ruan Qingmo stretched out his hand to hold Tang Rou, and then gently closed the door, his eyes signaling Tang Rou to be quiet and breathing smoothly.

Da-da, da-da-da.

The footsteps are getting closer and slower.

Tang Rou held Ruan Qingmo's hand tightly, trying her best to keep herself calm.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and the surroundings became unusually quiet.

A cold light flashed in Ruan Qingmo's eyes, and at the moment before the other party attacked, he grabbed Tang Rou and turned around to avoid it, and flew to the roof.

"Roar!"

A non-human voice came from the man's mouth.

I saw that the man raised his head, his eyes locked on Tang Rou and Ruan Qingmo.

"Who is he?"

Tang Rou asked in a low voice.

"We are indeed still in the forbidden land of the Desperate Heart Valley," Ruan Qingmo frowned slightly, "If my guess is correct, this person is probably the one who broke the forbidden cell that Li Yu said." ”

"Huh, isn't it?"

Tang Rou complained in her heart: Why did you just meet the two of them! There are so many people who escaped from the cell, why did they meet the most powerful one?

"Are you scared?"

Ruan Qingmo asked Tang Rou coldly.

"What?" Tang Rou looked at the person who was ready to attack them at any moment, "Who is afraid!

Tang Rou said, ready to pull out the green leaf knife, but saw that the green leaf knife was already in Ruan Qingmo's hand.

"Ruan Qingmo, what are you going to do!"

"You're no match for him. ”

"That's not allowed to ...... either"

Before Tang Rou finished speaking, he was stopped by Ruan Qingmo's eyes, "I can't let you die here, promise me that you must escape!"

"No ......"

Ruan Qingmo flew down with a green leaf knife in his hand before Tang Rou grabbed him.

At the same time as he moved, his opponent also moved.

"Don't!"

Tang Rou shouted, but couldn't stop Ruan Qingmo.

I saw Ruan Qingmo forcing out the waves and inserting them into him to help him control the silver needle that devoured the heart, and a powerful true qi instantly swam around him, and Ruan Qingmo, whose eyes were red, was only full of killing intent in his eyes.
