"Something's wrong."
Hong Qiming summoned a clear oil lamp and said calmly: "Within a thousand miles, there are no living creatures except us."
"The aliens who approached this place have already been killed by Zhou Yi."
He looked at the place where Zhou Yi disappeared with deep eyes, and said maliciously: "Brother Zhou from Jiuli Sect didn't let us report to the higher-ups. Is he trying to take this opportunity to eliminate everyone?"
Cai Shaoheng of Heigu echoed: "As long as we fall into the fourth realm, due to the thick filthy power and the existence of the thick lead cloud, we will be disconnected from the upper level. Zhou Yi, if you want to harm us, we..."
He was the first to think of giving up, saying, "I have decided to give up exploring this unknown continent!"
Shen Yanxi was surprised and said, "We have no grudges against Zhou Yi, and he is ranked second on the list of honors, second only to the girl from the Li family. With his status and power, he should consider us as his competitors, right?"
"Impossible!" Lv Yanshu of the Pure Land shook his head and shouted, "At this critical moment for the human race, Zhou Yi has no reason to deliberately harm us!"
Several people expressed their opinions.
Zhou Yi, the convener and the first person to discover this continent, has not returned yet, which makes everyone feel gloomy.
"The girl from the Ghost Sacrifice Sect, is she trying to monopolize the magic of the God and Demon Creation Institute?" Hong Qiming spoke again. He had ill will towards everyone and said, "I've heard that the girl can appear in the strange fog. She is not afraid of it. With her ability, she won't come out to inform us if she really discovers something."
Hu Yuanfei sneered: "Hong Qiming, why don't you change your mind?"
"What do you think?"
"Perhaps Zhou Yi encountered an ambush by several level eight ferocious beasts and alien races, and he didn't want to expose this continent and us, so he led the enemy far away." Hu Yuanfei said.
Hong Qiming snorted, "He wouldn't be so kind. If we really encounter a beast or alien of this level, he will just rush over and force us to join forces with him to fight the enemy."
"This is your idea, not Zhou Yi's." Shen Yanxi in the desolate land sneered.
She and Hu Yuanfei disliked each other, but they rarely spoke in unison in front of Hong Qiming.
"Perhaps Ling Yimo was also in danger in the strange fog and couldn't find his way back." Zhou Qingchen interrupted and said weakly: "The strange fog is vast and the perception and vision are completely restricted. It is easy to get lost."
"She won't."
Hong Qiming sneered, looking at Zhou Qingchen, who was born in the fourth realm, as if she were a fool, and said, "Legend has it that she was abandoned in the depths of the strange fog. When the ghost mother found her, she was still a crying baby. The ignorant baby did not die in the strange fog, and her crying could even alarm the ghost mother."
"How could such an alien creature get lost in the strange fog?"
"Also! Because of her appearance, our understanding of the strange fog has taken a big step forward! All of us may get lost in the strange fog, except her!"
After these words were spoken, Zhou Qingchen, who knew nothing about Ling Yimo, was suddenly speechless.
He secretly vowed to speak less about people and things he didn't understand, so as not to be laughed at.
"When I was a baby, I was abandoned in the strange fog..." Pang Jian was shocked, and quietly looked at Hu Yuanfei and asked, "Is it true?"
"That's the rumor." Hu Yuanfei nodded.
Pang Jian was greatly surprised.
Zhou Yi, Fan Chen, Ling Yimo, Hong Qiming, Liu Youyu and others, each of them has a mysterious background and their backgrounds are more powerful than each other.
I'm afraid that all the geniuses of the young and middle-aged generation in Purgatory, except for the one from the Tianbao Li family, are concentrated here.
Ling Yimo's mysterious background made him feel that he, who held the bronze medal of Purgatory Gate, was not necessarily the person with the most secrets present.
Fan Chen, who was dressed in white and had an extraordinary temperament, suddenly asked, "Pang Jian, you were also in the dragon's heart before. Did you see those magical words?"
Pang Jian said frankly: "I saw it, but I don't recognize it."
"Can you carve it on the ground so I can see it?"
"Can."
Summoning the Jingzhi Spear, Pang Jian copied the strange characters in his memory that were shaped like birds and ferocious beasts one by one on the cold and hard silver ground.
"These words..."
Fan Chen only took a glance and showed suspicion in his eyes.
When Pang Jian presented all the words, the suspicion on Fan Chen's face was replaced by solemnity and weirdness.
"What's wrong?" Hu Yuanfei asked.
“The content is wrong.”
Fan Chen looked at the strange fog where Ling Yimo disappeared, and said in a deep voice: "This is the text used by the ancient demons. It is said that the ancient demons are the source of the outer demons, the ghost demons, the demon scales, and all the tribes with the word demon in them. The content of the text does not mention the God and Demon Creation Institute, nor is it the third generation product of the dragon, nor is it a level 10 frost dragon."
Everyone was stunned.
“All the words only express one meaning!”
Fan Chen's face was strange, his voice trembled slightly, and he spoke word by word: "The real way out for all living beings in this world exists below the fifth layer, in the darkness below the darkness!"
Pang Jian's face suddenly changed.
Below the fifth level of Purgatory is the most despairing darkness, with only nothingness and dead silence.
The source demon entered through the Qiankun Heaven and Earth Box. Dozens of demonic thoughts were communicating with each other, and they were all on the verge of going crazy and collapsing.
How can the way out for all living beings be in darkness
That place is a forbidden area for all living beings in this world, more mysterious than the strange fog.
There has never been a precedent of the strongest person in this world being able to penetrate into the darkness below the fifth realm and return successfully.
How could a giant dragon that had fallen for who knows how many years have such a statement left in its sternum
Who left it
Many doubts and thoughts kept flashing through Pang Jian's mind, but he could not find the answers.
"This giant dragon should really be level ten, with combat power equal to that of a true god. After it was killed, its dragon heart was dug out. It was the existence of its dragon heart that left behind this row of ancient demonic characters."
Fan Chen looked at the group of dazed people and said, "I think the one who killed it was an ancient demon!"
Hong Qiming was horrified: "Ancient Demon, the source of all demons?"
"Devil!"
Pang Jian's mind moved, and he casually grasped the hilt of the Source Demon Sword, and a trace of spiritual consciousness and thoughts escaped into it.
He flashed the words imprinted in his memory and asked, "You are also from the Outer Realm Galaxy and belong to the Heavenly Demon Clan. Do you recognize these so-called ancient demon characters?"
"How could ancient demonic writing appear in Purgatory?"
The source demon was surprised. It used its demonic thoughts to identify the situation and said, "The true way out for all living beings in this world lies below the fifth layer, in the darkness below the darkness."
"That's what the words mean!"
"but… "
The countless thoughts and consciousness of the source demon screamed in the sword: "Impossible! I passed through the ghost box and entered the boundless dark land. There is nothing in it. It only makes me feel fear and despair!"
Pang Jian let go of the hilt with a sullen face and said to Hu Yuanfei: "Fan Chen is right. As he said, those ancient demon characters express the darkness below the fifth layer."
"Is Yuanmo sure?" Hu Yuanfei asked.
"Um."
After they had a brief conversation.
"I knew there was something fishy about the girl from the Ghost Sacrifice Sect!"
Hong Qiming snorted coldly, holding the oil lamp, he headed towards the depths of the land covered by the strange fog, and said, "Wu Yuan, you stay here and be my target. I'll go check out the situation."
A little light flew out from the kerosene lamp and landed in Wu Yuan's palm.
Wu Yuan held it and nodded slightly.
After Ling Yimo, Hong Qiming carried an oil lamp and went deep into the strange fog, and then there was no news from him either.
A few hours passed, and facing everyone's confused and questioning gazes, Wu Yuan said, "He is still alive, because the lights are still on."
After a pause, Wu Yuan looked at Pang Jian calmly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Perhaps, we still need you to lead the way and find out what's going on. Senior Brother Hong and Ling Yimo may not be able to match you in the strange fog."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
A couple from the Ancient Law Sect, Fan Chen from the Taiyi Divine Kingdom, Lü Yanshu from the Pure Land, and Liu Youyu from the Flying Fish Boat all popped their heads out and looked on in surprise.
"If they can't do it, why can Pang Jian?" Hu Yuanfei's face turned cold, she glared at Pang Jian and said, "Don't listen to him, no one from the Demon Sect is a good person!"
Liu Youyu nodded heavily in agreement.
"Let's go!"
Hu Yuanfei herself did not want to take risks, nor did she want to see Pang Jian get involved, so she said, "Return to the third realm, kill alien races and ferocious beasts step by step, and accumulate normal contribution points!"
"Hong Qiming's life is worthless. If he dies, he dies. But you are different!"
"In my opinion, it was Ling Yimo from the Ghost Sacrifice Sect who was deliberately trying to harm people! They were clearly written in different languages, but she insisted on talking about the God and Demon Creation Institute, and she went deep into it, making it seem like there really was a God and Demon Creation Institute inside!"
She has already defined Ling Yimo as someone harboring evil intentions.
Pang Jian was hesitant and did not immediately agree to go back.
“Wow!”
The light in Wu Yuan's palm suddenly flickered.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Pang Jian again and said, "Senior Brother Hong sent a message, saying... there really is a God and Demon Creation Institute inside."
The lights went out.
Wu Yuan frowned and explained, "When the message came, the remaining power of the candlelight dissipated, and it became like this."
"Now..." He himself was also hesitant, and said, "You guys decide."
"Really?" Zhou Qingchen couldn't help but interrupt again, saying, "Who should we listen to? If Ling Yimo was deliberately lying to harm others, why did Hong Qiming send a message in the last sentence saying that there was a God and Demon Creation Institute?"
Hu Yuanfei thought of a possibility and said with a change of expression, "Could it be that Hong Qiming is dead and Ling Yimo sent a message through the oil lamp?"
Everyone was immediately horrified.
"I don't care about you guys, I'm leaving first!"
Cai Shaoheng from Heigu was frightened by the series of strange things and was the first to choose to quit.
He flew straight up and said, "When I reach the third realm, I will report this strange continent and all the strange things that happened. You can continue to go deeper. The realm of annihilation, the realm of immortality, and even the true gods should descend soon!"
"Pang Jian, if you go in, I will go in." Zhou Qingchen said.
Wu Yuan nodded: "Me too."
"You two are just useless pieces of trash in the Concentration State. Stop ruining the future of my Sword Tower!" Hu Yuanfei cursed.
Suddenly, Liu Youyu's timid voice came from inside the Feiyu boat: "Pang Jian, if you go in, I will go in too."
"Liu Xiaoyu! Shut up!" Hu Yuanfei scolded again.
Fan Chen, Lu Yanshu, Shen Yanxi and the couple from Gufa Sect all looked at them with strange expressions, not understanding why those people had to drag Pang Jian along.
"Come in if you want." Pang Jian said.
