Although this fog is strange, it can only affect some ordinary people. The truly powerful thing is the formation that covers the entire ruins.
Even a warrior at the Hua Jin level would lose his way if he entered it.
"Senior, we haven't finished exploring how deep this valley is. We have prepared a rope." Mu Ying took out the prepared rope and said.
"No need, I can just go down directly." Yang Qi shook his head. With his strength, he didn't need a rope at all and could go directly into the valley.
Before he finished speaking, Yang Qi leaped up and jumped directly down from the valley.
"senior!"
Mu Ying was also shocked when he saw this scene. Although the warrior was very powerful and had already surpassed the level of ordinary people, he was still a human being after all, not a god. Jumping from such a high place was seeking death, wasn't that
But when Mu Ying looked down at the valley, all he saw was thick fog, and Yang Qi was no longer there.
The soldiers standing by were all stunned when they saw this scene.
What did they see
Someone jumped off a cliff.
Phew~
The mountain wind whistled in his ears, and Yang Qi's body fell straight down like rain, getting faster and faster.
In just a few breaths, he had fallen hundreds of meters.
“Puff~”
Yang Qi shook his hand, and the long sword pierced straight into the stone wall.
The speed of the body's falling suddenly slowed down, but under the terrifying downward force, it slid down several meters.
“Huh~”
Yang Qi let out a long breath and began to look around. After going several hundred meters deep, he could already feel a strange fluctuation in the fog.
"There is indeed a formation." A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. At this moment, he was sure that there was indeed a formation in the dense air before him.
However, this formation does not have much killing power. Its main purpose is to confuse warriors and prevent them from going deep into the fog.
With Yang Qi's strength, he quickly found the flaws in the formation and came to the bottom of the valley.
"There is no fog here?" Looking at the empty surroundings, Yang Qi was stunned. There was still thick fog covering the sky, but there was not even a trace of fog at the bottom of the ancient place.
Obviously, the fog is just to prevent outsiders from entering, but there is no fog inside the ruins.
"What a strange place. The vitality of heaven and earth is surprisingly thin." Feeling the vitality of heaven and earth around him, Yang Qi couldn't help but frowned. The vitality of heaven and earth here was very thin, just like in today's cities.
You know, this valley is deep in the mountains. According to Yang Qi's usual understanding, the vitality of heaven and earth in the deep mountains is generally much richer than that in the city.
However, the vitality of heaven and earth below the valley is not much different from that in the city.
“With the vitality of heaven and earth so thin, how could anyone not set up a large formation here?” Yang Qi’s face darkened.
Generally, the place where such a battle formation is set up is either the retreat of a powerful warrior or the mountain gate of a powerful sect. No matter which case, there must have been warriors here before. Logically speaking, the vitality of heaven and earth should not be so thin.
Shaking his head, Yang Qi walked forward along the empty canyon.
"This is..." Suddenly, Yang Qi's eyes fell on the stone wall beside him.
There were actually traces of battles on these stone walls. Some of the traces looked like they were there for a long time, but there were a few very recent traces of battles.
"It looks like they are in real trouble."
Looking at the marks on the stone wall, Yang Qi immediately understood that these new marks might have been left by Mu Yan and others. They encountered danger here and a battle took place.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi couldn't help but quicken his pace.
According to Mu Ying, Mu Yan and her group had been missing for almost two days. They didn't have much supplies with them, and the timing was unusual. Even if there was no danger, they would starve to death.
Going forward along the canyon, there are broken stone tablets, scattered rubble, and some scattered bones along the way. These bones are obviously not formed recently, but must have been from a long, long time ago.
"Where exactly is this place? Looking at these bones, they should be the remains of warriors." Yang Qi's eyes fell on the bones and his brows furrowed slightly.
There are some traces of battle on these bones, and the sternum has even disappeared. In ancient times, only powerful warriors could do this. And they must not be too weak, at least they must be warriors at the Huajin level.
"Hmm... the smell of blood..."
Suddenly, a faint smell of blood wafted in the air. Yang Qi's face suddenly changed. He stepped forward, and his figure flashed, rushing in the direction where the smell of blood came from.
This relic has existed for who knows how many years, so it is impossible for there to be any bloody smell. The bloody smell in the air now was definitely left by Mu Yan and his group.
Sure enough, after walking dozens of meters deep into the canyon, Yang Qi saw two male corpses lying on a pile of rocks nearby. Judging from their appearance, they should be the military elites escorting the archaeological experts.
The two men were pale and their bodies had already stiffened. The strangest thing was that there was a huge bloody hole on their chest, and the flesh and blood tissue had mysteriously disappeared.
"A poisonous insect?" Looking at the two corpses, Yang Qi's expression became more and more solemn. It was impossible for there to be any living people in this ruins. He didn't know what kind of creatures could survive, but it was most likely a poisonous insect.
"It seems like they have been away for quite some time. I have to speed up." Yang Qi said secretly, and he stepped on the ground, increasing his speed instantly.
As they went deeper, they found more and more remains and corpses on the road. In addition to military elites, there were also members of the archaeological team. Yang Qi had seen as many as seven corpses along the way.
You have to know that Mu Yan's group consists of only twenty people in total, including six archaeological experts, three members of the Ninth Bureau of the National Security Bureau, and eleven military elites. Excluding the seven dead, only thirteen are still alive.
Moreover, the corpses he saw had long lost their body temperature. They had been dead for some time. In other words, he didn't know whether Mu Yan and others were safe now.
After walking for more than a hundred meters along the canyon, the view in front of us suddenly became open. This canyon was actually a different world, like a paradise. However, the entire valley was lifeless. Looking around, we could vaguely see some destroyed buildings and white bones everywhere on the ground.
"This should be the mountain gate of a sect, but this sect must have been destroyed by someone." Looking at everything in front of him, Yang Qi suddenly understood that there must have been a powerful martial arts sect in this valley a long time ago, but for some unknown reason, it was destroyed by someone.
The entire sect was destroyed.
Yang Qi walked along the path and soon found traces of someone walking on the path. At the same time, he saw an unrecognizable empty space with a bloody corpse next to it.
"Detonate the grenade and die together with the poisonous insect?" Looking at the appearance of the corpse, Yang Qi immediately thought of the bandits who were affected by the grenade explosion in Myanmar. The situation was very similar to that of the corpse in front of him. Obviously, this corpse also detonated a grenade, but there were some non-human body tissues scattered around, which should be the creature that attacked them. (To be continued)
