"What should we do now?"
Jihuo asked.
Su Zimo said in a deep voice: "We can't go on like this. We have to find a safe and secluded place to calm down and practice for some time."
They wandered around the Kunlun Ruins, always fighting. Although they accumulated a lot of insights, there was no end in sight.
There is no opportunity or time to settle these insights.
What's more, Nian Qi is seriously injured now and should not move too much.
Nian Qi's body, even if he has the blood of the gods and has strong self-healing power, he still has to rest for ten days and a half.
"I do know a place where no evil spirits or ghosts will break in."
Jihuo said in a deep voice: "It's the secret realm I entered five thousand years ago! The Night Spirit and the Zhuzhao Sword Formation were all obtained by me in that secret realm."
"Okay, let's go there to rest and practice for a while."
Su Zimo made a decision.
First, Nian Qi can calm down and recuperate.
Secondly, after these days of fierce fighting, they have gained a lot of insights. If they practice hard and settle down, their cultivation and combat power will be greatly improved.
For Su Zimo, he can also take this opportunity to refine the large piece of worry-free wood in the storage bag!
By then, the three of them will have achieved a breakthrough in their combat prowess, and it will be safer to go out to explore the Kunlun Ruins again.
Ji Huo took out a map from his storage bag, compared it, and said, "It's not far from here. Come with me."
Ji Huo said, go ahead.
Su Zimo carried Nian Qi on his back and followed closely.
In Kunlun Ruins, every step is dangerous.
The three of them didn't walk very fast, and it took nearly half a day before they reached their destination.
In front of you is a towering mountain peak.
On this mountain peak, there are jagged rocks, no grass, no life at all.
Ji Huo led the two of them into a cave at the foot of the mountain.
Inside this cave, there are countless twists and turns. At a glance, it is impossible to tell the direction.
"Follow up, don't get lost."
Jihuo warned, followed the map in his hand closely, and walked along a cave.
There are many forked roads in this cave.
Ji Huo often changes direction while walking and heads towards one of the forks in the road.
Sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, there is no pattern at all.
After a long time, Ji Huo stopped.
Su Zimo looked around.
There is another extremely long corridor ahead, with no end in sight. The corridor is covered with many corpses, lying in various directions, and weapons are scattered on the ground.
Su Zimo glanced at him.
From these magical weapons on the ground, it can be inferred that most of the owners of these corpses are in the Dharma Realm, and some are powerful fusions, even half-ancestral masters!
These strong men have been dead for who knows how long, and their bodies are covered with dust.
Even the powerful half-ancestor who had an incorruptible flesh body was left with only a broken skeleton, still wearing clothes on his body, which was empty.
Some of these corpses were humanoid, some were ferocious beasts and monsters, and all kinds of things.
But each corpse was tied with a purple and gold ribbon.
"Kunlun clan?"
Su Zimo murmured softly, having a vague guess, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion.
This tunnel, including the extremely complicated cave outside, was obviously dug out by humans. If you don't do it right, you won't be able to get in or get out!
I don’t know, who is the master who opened up this secret place
What's the purpose
I don’t know what happened that year that so many people died here.
"Master, was this where you contracted the poison?"
Su Zimo asked.
After he entered this place, he dispersed his consciousness and explored around, but found no other living beings or danger.
Ji Huo nodded, looked at the storage bag next to one of the corpses, and sighed: "When I came here, I was naturally very moved when I saw so many treasures on the ground."
It can be imagined that Ji Huo, who was still the Taoist Master at that time, was naturally agitated when he saw so many magical weapons and the storage bags left by the great power.
Ji Huo pointed at the corpse and said, "I saw that there was no danger around, so I stepped forward to open this storage bag and take a look."
"Unexpectedly, the moment I opened this storage bag, a bug came out and bit me!"
"Just this moment, I almost died here!"
Su Zimo turned his eyes and found the body of a Gu insect not far away.
There is no need for Ji Huo to come back for revenge. Without the support of his master, this Gu insect would have died long ago.
Ji Huo showed a look of reminiscence, still feeling frightened, and said: "At that time, I felt dizzy. I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly crushed the teleportation talisman in my hand."
"At the same time, I shook my sleeves, rolled up the things that fell out of the storage bag, and then fell into the space tunnel and was transferred to the Canglang Mountains in the Northern Territory."
Afterwards, Ji Huo used his remaining consciousness to open up a cave there, and fought against the poison for five thousand years before meeting Su Zimo and finally surviving!
All of this, in retrospect, can only be described as a mistake.
Ji Huo still feels a little emotional when he thinks about the past.
"So, Ye Ling, Zhuzhao Stone, and Zhuzhao Sword Formation all fell out of that storage bag?" Su Zimo asked.
"no."
Jihuo shook his head and said: "I opened the storage bag, and a lot of things did fall out, including the Zhuzhao Stone and the Zhuzhao Sword Formation, but there was no Ye Ling egg."
Mentioning this matter, Ji Huo seemed to be lost in memories and frowned.
"At that time, my vision was a little blurry. It felt like the egg of Eidolon rolled over from the other side of the corridor, jumped into the space crack formed by the teleportation talisman, and followed me to teleport out."
"Huh?"
Su Zimo's heart moved.
If Ji Huo felt right, it was not him who took Ye Ling out, but Ye Ling, who had spiritual intelligence, chose Ji Huo and left Kunlun Ruins with the help of Ji Huo!
This is not impossible.
The Kunpeng egg that was conceived in the ancient sacred spring deep underground in Beiming Town had a spiritual intelligence that was not weaker than that of an adult, and had many complex emotions.
That Kunpeng egg can even feel the terrifying power of the martial arts master!
The original Ye Ling was just an egg. How could it be in this secret realm
Why did Ye Ling choose Ji Huo and leave Kunlun Ruins on his own initiative
Su Zimo had a hunch that if he explored this secret realm, he would most likely get the answer he wanted!
At this moment, Nian Qi murmured in sleep on Su Zimo's back.
"There is no need to rush to explore this secret place."
Su Zimo said in a deep voice: "Let's practice here first, and when we have a breakthrough, it won't be too late to explore this secret realm."
"good!"
Ji Huo also nodded in agreement.
There are many secret rooms on both sides of this corridor.
Su Zimo and the others came to the nearest secret room, walked in, and began to practice in seclusion!
