The sky was blue and cloudless.
On the ground, in the green grass, pools of black putrid mud and low shrubs can be seen; from time to time, bubbles pop out one by one, proving its danger. In the place of dry stains, there are patches of exposed rock here and there.
In the distance, there are rolling hills. Perhaps because of the rain, or because there is no plant root protection, the soil on the hills has been washed away, leaving only clear stone mountains.
His hair is stiff, more than ten feet high, and his whole body is full of strong muscles, as burly as an iron tower.
The hair stood frozen on a rock surrounded by muddy swamps. At this time, his eyes flickered with blue light, exploring the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, the hairy man squeezed the magic weapon in his hand, and one by one his palm prints were printed on a stone not far away.
call-
The huge palm is wrapped in gusts of wind, and its momentum is mighty.
squeak!
The stone twisted for a while, and a gray figure flashed, about to flee downward.
However, his speed was significantly slower than that of that huge palm.
Boom!
Amidst the chaotic rocks flying, accompanied by screams, a damaged and thin body was blasted into the air.
puff!
It fell directly into the muddy swamp next to it, and when it landed, there was no breath of life at all.
However, it was an ugly creature with short stature and overlapping folds; its fish-bubble eyes were wide open, and it looked terrified.
Gulp!
A few bubbles came out, and the ugly creature's body was completely immersed in the mud.
"These stone drills really linger!" Zhang Yang sighed.
After starting from Maiji Town, Zombie Zhang Yang headed west all the way, crossing the middle of Shiwanda Mountain. Relying on the powerful spiritual sense and super fast speed, the journey went extremely smoothly and reached Xu Yunze.
However, not long after entering Xuyun Ze, Zhang Yang was discovered by a stone drill. Of course, that stone mandrill may not know Zhang Yang's identity, but anyone who has killed a stone mandrill will be tainted with karma, and other stone mandrills can recognize their enemies at a glance.
Zhang Yang killed more than a hundred Shidrills, so naturally he couldn't escape the eyes of that Shidrill.
Zhang Yang made a timely move and killed the stone drill. However, it may be that he sent the message before the temporary, and since then, Zhang Yang has been constantly harassed by Shi Zhi.
Even after he fled all the way for a million miles in order to get rid of the enemy, not long after he landed, another stone drill quietly surrounded him.
The strength of stone mandrills is generally not strong, generally equivalent to the cultivation level of human monks at the foundation-building stage or golden-elixir stage. However, their number in Xuyun Ze is very large, which annoys Zhang Yang.
Later, thousands of stone drills surrounded him, intending to kill Zhang Yang, but in the end, they were killed by Zhang Yang in one fell swoop. After that, although Shidrill did not give up following, few people dared to approach him.
Zhang Yang couldn't get rid of them, so he could only let them go.
After checking the direction, Zhang Yang, a human being in the Jiezi hut, took out the Demon Town Tower and got the specific location of the ghost cave from Li Gang's Nascent Soul.
Li Gang's Nascent Soul was suppressed almost at the same time as Mu Yu and Jiao He. At the beginning, he exchanged his life for revealing the location of the ghost cave. Zhang Yang had long planted a restriction on his soul and accepted him as a slave. However, Li Gang's character really disgusted Zhang Yang, so until now, he has refused to refine his body under the pretext of insufficient materials.
Therefore, Li Gang has always existed in the small world of Zhenyao Pagoda in the form of Nascent Soul, enduring the torment of lack of spiritual energy.
Li Gang's biggest pursuit is to provide as much detailed information as possible for his master. In case the master gains a lot in the ghost cave, when he is happy, he thinks of his credit, and maybe he will refine his body for himself.
Zhang Yang naturally understood Li Gang's thoughts, and if he could really refine the Wanyao Banner Sacrifice into a fairy-level existence in the ghost cave, he would not mind fulfilling Li Gang.
After confirming the direction, with a flick of his consciousness, "Boom!" Zhang Yang's golden wings burst out from behind, and with a strong wave, he flew away into the distance.
The golden wings fluttered, and the energy of the wind attribute circulated violently around him. Small whirlwinds floated under his body, and Zhang Yang's speed was extremely fast.
On the ground, stretching stone mountains and low muddy swamps can be seen, all receding rapidly.
Roar-
From time to time, monsters lurking in the swamp were startled, and when Zhang Yang flew over, they suddenly jumped out of the mud.
However, Zhang Yang's speed was so fast that he completely left them behind with just a wave of his wings.
Occasionally, one or two monsters of level six or seven would appear, and Zhang Yang would stop, behead them, collect their living souls, and drain their blood before continuing on their way.
…
At a height of more than ten feet above the ground, Zhang Yang was suspended in the air, his golden wings waving gently on his back.
In front of him, two mountain peaks stood side by side, like a gateway, guarding a canyon.
The swamp outside is filled with air, and under the scorching sun, the moisture is transpiring; only a few tens of feet away, in the canyon in front, the canyon in front is filled with fog, which greatly affects vision and consciousness .
"Sure enough!" Zhang Yang muttered.
The blue light flickered in his eyes, and he looked around behind him.
Sure enough, he soon saw a faint fluctuation of a rock several miles away.
"Hmph!" Zhang Yang snorted coldly, his right hand joined together to form a palm, and he slashed down in the air.
bass!
There was a crisp cutting sound, like a knife cutting tofu, a white mark flashed in the middle of the stone, and it broke into two halves with a "click".
Tom!
A stone drill wobbled and fell to the ground.
With a large incision technique, a stone drill was killed with a single blow. As for Zhang Yang, as if nothing happened, his expression was calm.
With a flash of his figure, the golden wings behind him waved, and under the sudden whirlwind, the surrounding fog parted, and Zhang Yang plunged into it.
The mist is extremely cloudy, and if it is an ordinary monk, his cultivation may be suppressed. However, for Zombie Zhang Yang, this strong Yin Qi made him feel extremely comfortable.
"Um?"
Just when he was less than a thousand feet in, Zhang Yang stopped his figure, and saw a huge stone tablet next to him, which looked as tall as ten thousand feet. Looking up, it was majestic and majestic.
On the stone tablet, the word "ghost cave" is full of charm.
Zhang Yang reached out and tapped on the stone tablet, the sound was hollow and the texture was peculiar, it didn't look like ordinary stone at first glance, but it looked like some kind of metal in his hand.
Just when Zhang Yang wanted to investigate further, suddenly, there was a wave of breath in front of him. Without hesitation, Zhang Yang hid behind the stele with a flash of his figure, and at the same time, with a move, covered with flowing silver gauze, suppressed his breath, and disappeared.
The dense fog parted, and two figures flashed, but they were two Golden Core cultivators.
"Huh? There seemed to be a wave of breath here just now, why is it gone?"
"It's possible that some little beast ran past. You haven't seen a single person in this ghost cave for several years, so you're too surprised."
"The Palace Master entrusted us with the task of guarding Taniguchi. We should be more careful, otherwise, if something happens, the Palace Master will not spare us."
"Well, now that I've seen it, you should feel at ease now, right? Let's continue the transaction just now. Do you want to exchange that Kameda shield?"
"Hey! The Kameda Shield was obtained by beheading an evil cultivator in the middle stage of the golden core. It is the most important defensive magic weapon. Daoist friends want to exchange it with a low-level magic weapon. Isn't that true? Are you too greedy?"
"Although the wind and thunder cover is only a low-level magic weapon, its power is comparable to that of a middle-level magic weapon. It just consumes more mana when used, otherwise, it will definitely be rated as a middle-level magic weapon..."
The two obviously didn't pay attention to the abnormal fluctuation just now, and began to discuss the transaction.
Of course, Zhang Yang didn't care about the transaction between the Jindanqi monks at all. But these two people were obviously just guards, and Zhang Yang was not easy to startle the snake.
After a full two incense sticks, the two people left staggeringly.
With a flash of thick fog, Zhang Yang appeared with a thoughtful expression on his face.
…
In the Mustard Seed Hut, the human Zhang Yang held the Demon Town Tower in his hands, and with a flick of his consciousness, he had already entered the Demon Town Tower.
As the master of the Zhenyao Pagoda, Zhang Yang is a god in the Xiaoqian world inside the Zhenyao Tower. With a single movement of his consciousness, he can mobilize the laws of the five elements of heaven and earth around him, and he can kill the people in the Xiaoqian world at any time. all living things.
"Master! This subordinate has seen the master." Li Gang's attitude was extremely respectful.
"Hmph! How dare you lie to me?" Zhang Yang's voice was cold and his eyes were murderous.
Li Gang immediately trembled, his body prostrated on the ground, his face full of horror. He naturally knew how miserable the consequences would be if Zhang Yang decided that he was cheating.
"Master's lesson! The subordinates will never dare to lie to the master. Everything they said before is true." Li Gang was trembling all over. He wanted to defend himself, but he had to pay attention to his tone, lest he offend Zhang Yang.
"Okay! The deity came to ask you, do you recognize these two people?"
As Zhang Yang said, he touched the air with his palm, and the air twisted and floated, and a picture appeared in front of him, which was the two Golden Core monks who were discussing at the stele in the ghost cave.
With Zhang Yang's ability, it is naturally extremely easy to reenact a scene.
"This is Zhu Yun and Yuan Ren, the two deacons of the Soul Eater Hall." Li Gang took a look and replied immediately.
The deacons of the Soul Devouring Hall are generally served by Jindan monks, while the guardians are served by Nascent Soul monks. Li Gang himself is also the guardian of the Soul Eater Hall.
Zhang Yang knew this a long time ago.
"Now, the avatar of the deity just entered the stone tablet of the ghost cave, and met these two people. If the deity did not have some tricks, I am afraid it will be discovered. This is different from what you said before!" Zhang Yang's voice Bitter.
"Sub... The subordinates don't know either. However, the subordinates definitely did not deceive the master. Because the ghost cave has been opened many times, most of the treasures of the powerful men in the Soul Devouring Hall have been sacrificed. Anyone who went in for the sacrifice was either damaged by accident. Or those who are newly promoted, the number will definitely not be too many. Moreover, the strength will not be too strong. Let two deacons guard the entrance of the ghost cave... This... This has never happened before. "
Li Gang was trembling all over. When he said this, he seemed to be afraid that Zhang Yang would not believe him, so he continued to add: "According to thousands of years of uninterrupted investigations by the Soul Eater Palace, there are no other resources in the ghost cave except for living souls. ...Moreover, there are dangers all over the place. In the process of exploration, several elders have unfortunately died one after another. There is even a Supreme Elder of the Transformation God level. Manpower, but nothing. After a long time, the strength of the Soul Devouring Hall has not only not been strengthened, but has been weakened. Therefore, in the past thousand years, except for monks who need to sacrifice treasures, other people have rarely visited this ghost cave. bingo."
Zhang Yang frowned slightly. Originally, he didn't think that Li Gang would deceive him. After observation, Zhang Yang had a relatively thorough understanding of Li Gang's character. For his own benefit, he would never hesitate to ask him to betray his original sect. of.
Of course, now Zhang Yang has planted a restriction on his soul. Once Zhang Yang dies, the restriction on the soul will be activated and his soul will be annihilated. Therefore, Li Gang should not harm himself.
So what's going on
Usually there is no situation, but when Zhang Yang came, there was a change.
Thinking of something, Zhang Yang's brows instantly relaxed.
Could it be related to the beast tide
Now, the beast horde has occupied most of the territory of the human race, raging the entire territory of the human race, it will be a matter of time.
All sects should be looking for a way out. If this is the case, it is not impossible for Soul Eater Hall to spend a lot of effort to establish a base in the ghost cave.
The more I think about it, the more reasonable it becomes.
Zhang Yang couldn't help a wry smile. If this is the case, Soul Eater Hall will definitely not welcome others to enter. It seems that this trip to the ghost cave will not be as easy as imagined.
Now is the time when the fog near the ghost cave is the thinnest, but this thinness is relatively normal. In fact, it still looks very strong.
This kind of strange fog has a strong blocking effect on consciousness and strength.
Zombie Zhang Yang's blue eyes flickered, his clear eyes flickered, and he advanced rapidly by relying on his strength far surpassing that of monks of the same rank.
Going further in, there would be teams of monks patrolling from time to time, all of which were spotted by Zhang Yang in advance and easily avoided.
Fortunately, there is no protective formation here. Because according to Li Gang, the Soul Devouring Palace had tried to build a formation here, but the dense fog and the constantly touching souls had a very strong destructive power on the formation, so it couldn't be successful at all.
This actually helped Zhang Yang a lot invisibly, otherwise, if a large formation was built to seal off the valley, even with Zhang Yang's three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for him to escape quietly.
…
Swish!
Zhang Yang's figure flickered, and he prostrated himself on a recessed stone wall on the mountain wall, watching a group of underground monks pass by. He paused, and was about to move on, when suddenly, a floating shadow flashed in the thick fog ahead.
Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat, the shadow was only less than a hundred feet away, and he had just discovered that this was a very dangerous distance.
Woo—
Amidst the wailing sound, the dark wind swayed, and the shadow floated towards him.
Soul!
It is a living soul!
Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. This ghost cave is originally a place where living souls grow, and their aura and shape are very similar to dense fog, so it is not surprising that they were discovered only after approaching such a close distance.
Blue lights flickered in his eyes, looking at the safety of the surroundings, Zhang Yang stretched out the Wanyao Banner in his hand, and took the living soul into it, then shook his body, and continued to move forward.
The Soul Eater Hall obviously attaches great importance to ghost caves. Zhang Yang bumped into dozens of Foundation Establishment monks and a dozen Golden Core monks along the canyon, which was less than a few hundred miles away. to one.
With Zhang Yang's method, as long as he is not forced to take action, it is not difficult to avoid these people.
Except for the canyon, the front suddenly opened up. Going forward, the dense fog became thinner, showing signs of disappearing.
According to the information provided by Li Gang, this is an extremely vast and mysterious world. Its scope seems to be no less than a hundred thousand mountains or Xuyun Lake. The Soul Eater Hall has not explored the edge of this place for thousands of years—of course , This is also because of some dangerous places, no matter who it is, as long as they go deep, they will not be able to come out. Moreover, there is no harvest after exploration, and everyone has no enthusiasm.
After entering here, there is no need to worry about being besieged by the Soul Eater Palace.
The dense fog had receded, and the sky still couldn't see the sun. However, the surroundings were not so dark. On the contrary, it felt like a cloudy sky. The uninterrupted gusts of wind blew past, making Zhang Yang feel extremely comfortable.
He took out a jade slip in his hand and probed with his spiritual sense. It contained a map of ghost caves from Li Gang. Although this map is incomplete, all the places that the disciples have explored have been added.
In the vast area of the ghost cave, not all places are filled with living souls. The place where the living souls are most concentrated is called the "soul abyss".
There, the yin energy is particularly strong, and the number of living souls is huge, and some powerful and extremely vicious souls will be born. If the strength is not enough, it is possible to subdue the living soul and be bitten and devoured by Lihun instead.
Zhang Yang's goal is relatively big. If he wants to quickly refine the Wan Yao Banner, he must go to the Soul Abyss.
According to the jade slips, there are a total of more than a dozen soul abysses. In order to avoid colliding with the monks of the Soul Eater Hall, Zhang Yang did not choose the nearest place, but spread his golden wings and fled towards the depths of the ghost cave.
…
Woo—
In the ears, the sound of howling ghosts and wolves was faintly hidden.
Surrounding them, clusters of white mist-like existences floated around.
Although Zhang Yang was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he actually saw the living souls all over the mountains and plains around him.
These living souls are obviously very weak, and they don't have the consciousness to attack other creatures. They only know how to float back and forth, absorbing the strong yin energy around them, and growing slowly.
Zhang Yang unceremoniously took out the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, imbued it with mana, and stretched out his hand.
call-
The gray-black mist rolled out, like a whirling whirlwind, crazily rolling out.
Aww—
Woo—
Within the range, those living souls who had been wandering around immediately showed expressions of fear, let out bursts of screams, and wanted to scatter and run away.
