With the injection of gentle energy from Ye, the violent energy in Xiao Chen's heart slowly calmed down and his body stopped shaking.
But he was horrified in his heart, "What happened just now? How could I have so much murderous intent for no reason?"
Ye said calmly: "This is an evil spirit that is more terrifying than murderous intent. It can arouse the murderous intent in your heart and plunge people into chaos."
Xiao Chen looked at the people in Shen Dao Camp across the river with some horror, and murmured in his heart, how many lives must have been stained on his hands to create such a terrifying evil aura.
As the most elite force of the Tiandao Pavilion, the Divine Sword Camp is doing what it does here, and is there anything to protect? What's the purpose of Ye bringing himself here? Xiao Chen's mind was filled with doubts.
"Don't worry about them, nothing will happen to the river. I brought you here to let you breathe. Don't think too much and go!" Ye said to eliminate Xiao Chen's doubts.
He took Xiao Chen to a stone table by the river, stopped, and then took out a bottle of wine and two wine glasses out of thin air, and gently placed them on the stone table.
Gulu! Filling the two wine glasses, he picked up one and handed it to Xiao Chen. Ye took a sip of the wine and said, "Let's do it. I want to ask you something. When did you join Qingyun Peak? How is the current situation at Qingyun Peak?" ?”
Xiao Chen picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. The breeze blew over the river, making people feel extremely cool. Xiao Chen had already guessed that Ye was also from Qingyun Peak, so Xiao Chen was not surprised by his question.
"I've been here for almost three months. When I came, all the people in Qingyun Peak were gone, leaving only Liu Ruyue and her brother." Without hiding anything, Xiao Chen answered truthfully, "Don't you know this? "
Ye heard the words, with a wry smile on his face and said: "I haven't been out for ten years, and I have only heard a few things about them, so this time I see people from Qingyun Peak coming to take care of them, I will send you directly It’s coming to me.”
He hasn't gone out for ten years. Could it be that Ye Du has been staying underground for ten years
This is so unbelievable. Xiao Chen only stayed for a week and became a little bit unbearable. It is hard to imagine what it would be like to stay for ten years.
A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Chen's face, "Is it your idea for us to come to the mine tunnel on the eighth floor?"
Ye smiled faintly and said: "Yes, you should actually thank me. If it weren't for me, you would have been assigned to the 20th floor. The terrain there is even lower and the environment is much worse than mine."
No wonder this is the case. Xiao Chen has always felt that the tasks of the two of them are too easy. They usually just go through the motions and basically have nothing to do. It turns out that this is the reason.
"By the way, have you found those two mutated mummies?" Xiao Chen suddenly remembered this matter. It was such a good time to ask in front of Ye.
"I already have a clue, but you'd better not ask." Ye Bu returned to Xiao Chen's question directly and took over what he just said, "According to what you said, your master should be Liu Ruyue, right?"
Seeing Xiao Chen nod, Ye smiled softly and murmured: "Has she not given up yet?"
Boom!
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly occurred in the open space on the other side of the river. Xiao Chen looked over there and found that in the center of the open space on the other side, a huge stone was shaking non-stop.
The huge force shook the entire mountain wall, and countless rocks fell from the top of the head.
Xiao Chen had seen this boulder before, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking it was just an ordinary stone. After all, it was not surprising to see rocks underground.
But at this moment, a circle of thick iron chains suddenly appeared on the boulder, and a long knife was inserted into the ground in eight directions around the boulder.
Thick iron chains were wrapped around the boulder towards the long knives. The boulder kept vibrating and seemed to be blown away at any time, but the eight long knives did not move at all.
On the blade, brilliant light flashed from time to time, and the light spread along the iron chain to the boulder. The boulder was lifted off the ground, but was suppressed again in an instant.
Boom!
After the boulder was pressed down, it was immediately lifted up and the chains were shaking. It seemed that some demons and ghosts were suppressed under the boulder.
Violent roars came out from inside, whistling and wandering in the wide cave.
Xiao Chen's eyes were fixed on the eight long knives and the iron chain. He could confirm that he had not seen the existence of the eight long knives and the iron chain before, otherwise he would not have ignored the huge stone.
Xiao Chen spread his consciousness over, but when he took it out, he didn't feel the existence of the physical object. Except for the huge stone, he couldn't see any iron chains or long knives.
What's going on? Am I dazzled? Xiao Chen thought doubtfully, but he could clearly see it, so why couldn't his spiritual sense detect it.
No, these eight-handled knives are indeed not real objects. They are the soul chains and soul saint weapons that the great power turned into before his death, Xiao Chen said in surprise.
Xiao Chen finally understood what was going on. It was recorded in some ancient books that before a saint died, he could fuse his body with his soul and turn it into a soul saint weapon and a soul chain.
What kind of enemy was it that actually allowed eight saints to turn into soul soldiers and soul chains to suppress it at the same time? Who could be so terrifying
"What exactly is in here?" Xiao Chen asked Ye for advice.
Ye glanced at it and said: "A demon king from thousands of years ago wanted to come to my Heavenly Sword Pavilion to steal the source of spiritual veins, but was suppressed by eight supreme elders."
The one who suppressed it was actually the king of the demon clan. Xiao Chen thought in surprise that there really are demons in the world.
The demon clan is different from the underground demons. They have existed on the Tianwu Continent since ancient times.
According to rumors, in the ancient times before ancient times, there were thousands of races, and humans were just a relatively weak race. Due to inexplicable reasons, they won the final victory in the war of hundreds of races in the ancient times.
In the following ancient times, the human race completely occupied a dominant position. Other races were wiped out and fled, and the human race completely spread on the Tianwu Continent.
The following several demonic catastrophes caused these races, whose strength had been severely damaged, to completely disappear in the long river of history. But the demon clan is a relatively special existence. It has existed for tens of thousands of years and has survived several demonic catastrophes without being annihilated.
There have always been rumors that there are still a large number of monsters in the ancient lands of the mainland, and now the rumors should be true.
boom!
There was an explosion that far exceeded any previous sound, and in the empty cave, a huge furry hand suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the boulder.
The overwhelming momentum of the flood surged out from the ground and spread throughout the cave, making people shudder. In front of this boundless momentum, they felt as small as ants.
On the five fingers of the giant hand, the sharp fingertips shone with a cold light. He stretched out toward a long knife on the ground and instantly grasped it by the handle.
Xiao Chen's expression changed. The Qinglong in his body felt threatened and exuded a faint pressure, easily dispelling this overwhelming momentum.
Xiao Chen murmured: "What does it want to do? Thousands of years have passed. How come it still has such terrifying power?"
"These days of the month tend to be more manic. Don't worry. The Soul Saint Soldiers and Chains are not decorations. Plus, there are people from the Divine Sword Camp here, so there won't be any trouble."
Seeing that Xiao Chen's expression was not right, Ye quickly explained.
Phew!
Sure enough, as Ye said, the moment the giant claw touched the handle of the knife, crackling thunder and lightning burst out from the soul chain, and bright lightning also lit up above the eight-handled soul holy weapon.
ah! A scream came from the bottom of the boulder. The Soul Saint Soldier and Soul Chain were weapons that directly attacked the human soul. No matter how powerful the body was, it could not avoid it.
fall!
A warrior from the Divine Sword Camp next to him snorted coldly, flashed in the air, leaped onto the boulder, stepped hard, and immediately pushed back the demon king underground with a bang.
Whoops!
The eight soul holy weapons began to spin rapidly, the soul chains wrapped around the blades continued to shrink, and continuous screams began to be heard from the ground.
After a long time, the screams stopped, the eight soul holy weapons and soul chains disappeared, and the cave returned to calm.
Ye stood up, smiled at Xiao Chen and said: "Let's go, I've watched the show too, it's a breath of fresh air, it shouldn't be too boring!"
Xiao Chen nodded, but felt as if he had forgotten something. He suddenly woke up and said, "Wait a minute, you haven't told me yet, why can't you kill those spirit-devouring insects!"
Ye Yun smiled lightly and said, "It's not that you can't kill, it's just that you can't kill too hard. If it weren't for these spirit-devouring insects in Lingyun Mountain, it would have been hollowed out long ago."
"After the spirit-swallowing insects devour the raw ore of the spirit stone, the inner elixir produced is the best nourishment for the source of the spiritual veins. If they are all killed, the source of the spiritual veins will dry up."
The source of spiritual veins is the source of raw ore that produces spiritual stones. If the source of spiritual veins dries up, this spiritual mine will no longer produce spiritual stones.
Xiao Chen still understood the truth, but he didn't expect that the nourishment of the source of the spiritual veins would be the inner elixir of the spirit-swallowing worm. "That's not right. Then why did you say that the spirit-swallowing worm is the biggest enemy of the entire spirit mine."
Ye explained: "It's not good if there are too many of these things. If it eats up all the raw spiritual stones, what are we going to dig for? So we have to maintain a balance and kill a batch at intervals."
"I say this just to give you a reason to kill the spirit-devouring insects. After all, you can't kill many spirit-devouring insects by yourself."
The two began to walk all the way back. On the way, Ye asked a lot more about the current news about Qingyun Peak, and Xiao Chen told him everything he knew in detail.
When Ye heard about the now-declined Qingyun Peak, he sighed softly from time to time, looking extremely sad.
Back in the stone room, just like the previous nights, Mu Xinya's people still didn't know where they had gone. Xiao Chen had become accustomed to it and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Eh!" After Xiao Chen took a shower, when he passed Mu Xinya's stone bed, he accidentally saw from the corner of his eyes the corundum peak waist plaque and the mission wooden plaque of the Hall of Merit that Mu Xinya pressed under the pillow.
