When Ye Chengyun was confused, he heard an old voice ringing in his ears.

"Boy, don't come unharmed. ”

When I looked closely, there was a towering tree in front of me, and under the tree sat a little old man, who was smiling and looking at him, and his small eyes were about to squeeze into a slit.

Ye Chengyun felt inexplicable, could it be that he was already dead and was now in a soul state?

Or maybe something happened to him?

"Where am I?" he asked the little old man.

"Where are you, where are you, do you need to ask me?" the little old man looked strange.

"I wasn't here before. ”

"And how did you get here?"

"How do I know, I know and I need to ask you?"

"That's right. The little old man said secretly, "You don't know where you are, and I don't know." ”

Ye Chengyun hissed in surprise and looked at the little old man: "You don't know either?"

"Of course. The little old man said seriously.

"That's not right. The thought in Ye Chengyun's mind turned sharply, "You don't know what kind of place this is, so why are you staying here?"

"Then you're staying here now, do you know what this place is?"

Ye Chengyun thought about it and said, "Could it be that you were inexplicably teleported here like me?"

The little old man shrugged his shoulders, ignored Ye Chengyun anymore, and looked down at the chessboard in front of him.

Ye Chengyun only noticed at this time that the little old man was playing chess, playing chess alone.

Such a familiar scene!

When have you ever seen it? It seems like a long, long time ago, and it seems like it was just yesterday.

I can't remember, in short, the time is not right, the place is wrong, and the cause and effect are impossible to talk about.

"Do you still have the leisure to play chess?" Ye Chengyun said angrily, "Don't you want to find a way to get out of this ghost place?"

"Why are you leaving?" the little old man asked suddenly.

"Do you want to stay here and die?

The little old man shrugged his shoulders: "I can't get out anyway, even if I can get out, the outside world may not be better than here." ”

Ye Chengyun stared at the little old man silently, meditated for a while, and couldn't think of any beautiful eyes, he could only continue to ask the little old man: "Who are you?"

"I'm not human. The little old man replied.

"What are you not human, are you a ghost?"

"I'm a remnant, and it's not wrong to say it's a ghost. ”

Could it be that he is really dead? Ye Chengyun was shocked, and then suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly groped around for himself.

"Uncle Water Snake, are you still there?" After groping for a while, he couldn't help but call softly.

After waiting for a while, without any response, Ye Chengyun's heart immediately sank, and his face was very ugly.

"Alas, this game of chess was lost again. The little old man shook his head suddenly.

Ye Chengyun was in no mood to pay attention to the little old man playing chess, and realizing that he was very likely to be dead, he was inevitably panicked at the moment.

In a trance, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm, and when he looked down, he saw that blood was oozing from his arm.

Just as he was about to stop the bleeding, he felt a flash in front of his eyes, the chaotic sky and the dilapidated earth disappeared, the light and the towering trees disappeared in an instant, and the little old man and the chessboard were gone.

What greeted me was a dimly lit cavern with sand everywhere.

"Why are you still stunned, this cave is about to collapse, hurry up and run for your life!" came the anxious voice of the water snake uncle on his arm.

Ye Chengyun hurriedly came back to his senses, and immediately realized that it was Uncle Water Snake who bit his arm and pulled him back to reality from his strange hallucination.

Is everything he saw and heard just now just an illusion? Ye Chengyun couldn't know, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only escape from this cave first and climb to the top for now, otherwise he would be buried in the sand.

So he used his spiritual power and flew out towards the hole where he had sunk before. As soon as he got out, the sand hole below collapsed and formed a large crater.

Looking not far away, the figures of Gong Tou and others were already missing from the sky, and there were no two sand giants, a large number of black clouds were slowly receding, and the terrifying celestial phenomena were gradually returning to normal.

The wind and sand are not as arrogant and fierce as before, but gentle and pleasant, and the blowing is refreshing.

Ye Chengyun was confused, he didn't know what was going on at all, he subconsciously glanced at the ground. There were two piles of sandbags rising high on the ground, and there were a few people lying scattered around the sandbags, obviously Gongtou and Zhao Guangyi's group.

Could it be that they defeated the two sand giants?

Ye Chengyun didn't think too much about it, and immediately flew over.

finally found Zhao Guangyi, pulled him out of the sand like a turnip, and took a lot of effort to wake him up.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Guangyi woke up and asked while spitting out the sand in his mouth, "You killed those two big guys?"

"Didn't you kill him?" Ye Chengyun wondered.

Zhao Guangyi shook his head: "We just desperately trapped them, and then a violent strange wind blew, and we were all overturned to the ground, and we didn't know anything." ”

Ye Chengyun hissed and asked, "What should I do now?"

Zhao Guangyi turned his head to look at the two piles of sandbags over there, and the palace head and others on the side were waking up one by one. Without the change of color of the wind and clouds, the desert is calm again, and it seems that there will be no more danger.

"I have a bold speculation and don't know if it's reasonable. He said in a low voice.

"What bold speculation?"

"The two demons just now are obviously made by something with spiritual power. The formation of the transformation is very likely to be the work of the Shaping Spirit Divine Fruit, and in addition to the cultivators who have cultivated to an extremely high level, only the Shaping Spirit Divine Fruit has such magical powers. ”

Ye Chengyun said excitedly: "You mean, the Spirit Shaping Divine Fruit is nearby?"

Zhao Guangyi nodded: "I think so, the Spirit Shaping Divine Fruit is extremely spiritual, self-conscious, and more powerful than ordinary monsters." Maybe it sensed our approach and felt the danger, so it defended itself, but I don't know why it suddenly stopped. ”

Ye Chengyun didn't think about it so much, and said, "Whatever, since it's nearby, let's find it quickly." Get it, and leave the hell right away. ”

"Don't be reckless, it's not just us, it's someone else. Zhao Guangyi secretly glanced in the direction of the palace head.

Ye Chengyun understood Zhao Guangyi's scruples, and said: "Didn't those people come to find some Heavenly Pillar, we are looking for the Shaping Spirit Divine Fruit, and there is no conflict of interest with them." ”

"You kid, you're thinking too simply. They said that they came to find the fragments of the Heavenly Pillar, and you believed it? What kind of Heavenly Pillar is just an ancient legend, whether it exists or not is still up for debate, maybe they lied to us and deliberately used a pretense. ”

"You mean to say that they came to find the Heavenly Pillar Fragment is fake, but in fact, like us, they are looking for the Spirit Shaping Divine Fruit?"

"Whether it's true or not, even if they don't come for the Shaping Spirit Fruit, once they find a trace of the Shaping Spirit Fruit, they will definitely not give it to us. ”

Ye Chengyun calmed down and knew that Zhao Guangyi's words made sense.

He thought for a moment and said to Zhao Guangyi: "Isn't the person called Gongtou your friend?

"What a friend, it's just a one-time dealing. Zhao Guangyi said bluntly, "My relationship with him is not as good as that with you." For the sake of a natural treasure, brothers may turn against each other, let alone such a general friendship. ”

Ye Chengyun's eyes rolled: "Shemale Daoist, if you find the Spirit Shaping Divine Fruit, you won't turn your face against me, right?"

"What kind of is this, who are the two of us!"

"So what are we going to do now?"

"This place is very strange, I heard the palace head say that this is an extremely hidden secret place, no matter what happens, no one outside will know. Zhao Guangyi said with scruples, "People's hearts are unpredictable, and it is better to be careful in everything." ”

"Opportunistic?"

"Act on the opportunia. ”

The group of people in the palace finally came to their senses and got together again, Ye Chengyun and Zhao Guangyi remained silent and walked over.

"How is it, are you all right?" Miyatou kindly asked.

"It's okay, it's not dangerous. Zhao Guangyi replied, "Brother Gongtou, what are your plans next?"

Gong Shou looked around and said, "We will continue to search for the fragments of the Heavenly Pillar, and if we really can't find it, we will find a way to get out." ”

"You still have no way to leave this place?" Ye Chengyun couldn't help but ask.

Gong Shou replied seriously: "There is a way, I haven't tried it yet, I don't know if it's feasible." ”

"Can you tell us?" Ye Chengyun pleaded, "We haven't found a way to leave yet." ”

Gong Tou instantly understood what Ye Chengyun meant, Ye Chengyun wanted to know the way to leave this flame desert, so naturally he didn't plan to go with Gong Tou and them. Gong Tou didn't seem to be willing to let Ye Chengyun and Zhao Guangyi follow, so he generously said the way.

"It's very simple, break the secret barrier, and you can get out. He said.

Zhao Guangyi frowned slightly: "This is a local method, and the overlord is hard to bow." To do this, you need a lot of spiritual power, otherwise you won't be able to succeed at all. ”

Gong Tou nodded: "Exactly, if we want to go out, we have to work together to condense spiritual power together, so that it is possible to break the barrier of this secret book." If you two of you, you don't know if your spiritual power is enough. ”

"Enough, enough, don't worry. Ye Chengyun hurriedly said, "If it's not enough, then we are unlucky, and we can't blame anyone if we are trapped here." ”

Gong Tou smiled: "Brother Zhu's heart is really open-minded, and he is so pessimistic about life and death. It doesn't matter, if you can't get out at that time, come to us, before we leave this secret realm, otherwise, we won't be able to help. ”

As he spoke, he handed a messenger to Zhao Guangyi.

"Say goodbye, I hope you'll find what you're looking for soon. He concluded.

Zhao Guangyi accepted the messenger, glanced at Ye Chengyun, and then said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Gongtou, and I hope you can find the fragment of the Heavenly Pillar as soon as possible." ”
