Chapter 171

So, he quickly dispelled his previous doubts.

Don't worry about what's going on in this city

Cheng Hui had no intention of delving into the strange events that happened in this city.

So, he quickly dispelled his previous doubts.

No matter what happened in the city, it had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to find a way out.

"That swallowing sound you heard earlier..."

Lin Qingyang asked.

Cheng Hui shook his head: "Ever since I saw that jade pillar, the sound has disappeared."

Lin Qingyang frowned, but quickly cheered up. No matter what, the most suspicious things in the temple were undoubtedly the murals. He planned to go back and take another look.

The two returned to the hall of the temple. Before they had time to study the murals, they felt an earthquake and the entire temple seemed to be crumbling.

"Be careful! Get out first!" Lin Qingyang grabbed Cheng Hui's arm, and Cheng Hui reacted very quickly to cooperate. The two rushed out of the temple like lightning.

With a loud bang, the edge of the city suddenly exploded, and a ground dragon several feet wide emerged from underneath.

Immediately afterwards, several figures soared into the sky, but their momentum was interrupted and they fell down not long after they flew high.

On the contrary, the earth dragon was not affected at all because it did not fly up and even half of its body was underground.

Fortunately, these people reacted very quickly and changed their tactics immediately.

"There is a forbidden air formation here."

"Don't let this evil creature escape! Stop him now!"

Cheng Hui looked at them from afar and found those figures familiar. After recalling them, his expression changed slightly.

"Oh no! Aren't those the people who bought our underground palace information?"

Lin Qingyang also noticed it, and his face darkened. "Let's move quickly. It's best not to confront them."

After saying that, he turned back to the temple and planned to continue studying the mural.

Cheng Hui also didn't want to meet those people. Although they were doing fair business, if they met again now, if someone was jealous of their taking back the property, who knows what they would do.

They were not afraid of those ordinary ghost cultivators. The only ones they were afraid of were the leaders of those major forces. After all, those were Jindan ghost cultivators, and they were all old ghosts with many years of experience. With Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang's current strength, they were probably unable to fight against them.

Cheng Hui took another look from a distance. The earth dragon was huge and it was unknown how many years it had been cultivating underground. The aura it emitted was very chaotic. At the beginning, it was completely suppressed by those ghost cultivators.

But after entering the ruins of the ancient city, the ghost cultivators were unable to fly and were forced to land on the ground, which gave it a rare opportunity to catch its breath.

The strength of the earth dragon lies in its defense and vitality, and it will not die in a short time.

With Cheng Hui's eyesight, it was not difficult to see that even if those ghost cultivators could not kill him for the time being, as long as this level of siege continued, this earth dragon would definitely not be able to escape.

only……

He glanced anxiously at the large hole left by the earth dragon. If that hole connected to the underground palace, did that mean those elite skeleton soldiers would also emerge?

Cheng Hui turned around abruptly and entered the temple again. If he still had some hope of treasure hunting before, this hope had completely disappeared at this moment.

He just wanted to find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise...

Thinking back to the jade pillar, Cheng Hui felt a vague sense of unease in his heart. This feeling was like a shadow, tightly entangled in his heart.

"Let's move quickly. I have a bad feeling." After entering the temple again, he frowned and said to Lin Qingyang.

When I looked up, I found Lin Qingyang standing silently in front of a mural.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Hui walked over and followed his gaze to look at the mural, and then was shocked to find that at some point, the content of the mural had changed!

The original little figures and gods had all disappeared, and now there were some very ordinary murals painted on the wall. The content probably recorded the daily farming work of the Wujiang tribe, as well as some artistic creations.

If the previous records about the little men and gods were shocking, then these murals in front of us can only be described in four words: unremarkable.

"Interesting..."

The change in the content of the mural did not make Cheng Hui depressed, but instead made him a little excited.

After all, there won't be any waves in stagnant water, and only this kind of change means that they may have the opportunity to access something deeper.

And this thing might be the way to leave.

"What do you think?" Cheng Hui asked.

Lin Qingyang shook his head, having no clue. He recalled that he and Cheng Hui had escaped to avoid the collapse of the temple, and the content of the murals at that time seemed to be different.

"Compare them."

Cheng Hui then followed him and began to study the murals again.

From time to time, loud noises could be heard from outside. It was obvious that those ghost masters were still fighting with the earth dragon. However, some noisy sounds could be heard faintly, and it seemed that someone had entered from the crack in the ground.

The two looked at each other and felt helpless.

The two of them just wanted to leave as soon as possible, but were forced to be trapped here, while those outside were desperately trying to squeeze in for the treasure that they didn't even know whether it existed or not.

Cheng Hui could even imagine how many people were rushing to jump down from the crack in the ground. Even if someone said they couldn't get out after jumping down, the people behind them wouldn't believe it. They would just think that it was a lie made up by the people in front who wanted to monopolize the treasure.

"Come on, come on, it will be funny if everyone is trapped here." Cheng Hui muttered as he reached out to feel the mural.

Lin Qingyang smiled faintly: "No, don't forget, those guys are here too. Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up. We just need to stay away from it."

Cheng Hui grinned, thinking that Qingyang’s idea was very good. He was right. Anyway, the leaders of the major forces were trapped here. Why should they, two small characters, be in a hurry? Since it was like this, they might as well just go with the flow!

Of course, they still had to look for the necessary clues. What if? If they were lucky enough to get out directly, it would also save them some trouble!

The two of them carefully explored the mural, and surprisingly, Cheng Hui actually found something.

It has been mentioned before that Cheng Hui's spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful. Before he established his foundation, the strength of his spiritual consciousness was comparable to that of the Golden Core Stage. Now that he has entered the Golden Core Stage, it is even closer to the late Nascent Soul Stage.

This ancient city has a very strong suppression on spiritual consciousness, but it is only in terms of scope and there is no limit on the intensity.

Therefore, when Cheng Hui was examining the mural, he used his spiritual sense to delve deep under the mural, wanting to know whether the change in the content of the mural was some kind of mechanism.

Unexpectedly, he didn't find any mechanism, but he discovered a secret compartment hidden in the wall. The compartment was hollow, and he couldn't clearly feel what was inside, just a vague mass.

He called Lin Qingyang over, and together they took out the secret compartment while trying their best not to damage the mural.

The secret compartment was very large, and it took three bricks to remove it.

After taking it out, Cheng Hui discovered that the secret compartment was neither gold nor wood, but a material he had never seen before. Moreover, even though the secret compartment had been taken out, his spiritual sense was still unable to penetrate into it.

This immediately caught Cheng Hui's attention. In the world of cultivation, if you were to ask what kind of material is the rarest, it would undoubtedly be the material that isolates spiritual consciousness.

And he wasn't exaggerating. This material, which could block his divine sense, was definitely extremely rare, even in ancient times. So, the value of the items inside the secret compartment made of this material was unimaginable.

"I just wanted to leave here, but I didn't expect to find a treasure?" Cheng Hui was speechless looking at the secret compartment.

Lin Qingyang curled his lips: "You are lucky."

The corners of Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. He had a car accident, traveled through time, died again after traveling through time, and was resurrected again... After going through this several times, he didn't know if he was lucky.

The two of them took some simple precautions and opened the secret compartment.

Looking at the things in the secret compartment, the corners of their eyes twitched at the same time.

Calling it a thing is a bit insulting. A more accurate description would be... a bunch of wreckage where only the head and limbs can be barely distinguished.

There is nothing wrong with calling it a corpse, because the body is incomplete. It's not the kind that is missing arms or legs, but... all the flesh on the body has been peeled off, leaving only bloody bones.

I don't know how the person who left the corpse behind did it. Even though nearly ten thousand years have passed, the corpse is very "fresh", as if all the flesh and blood had just been torn off.

"Honestly, it's a bit disgusting." Cheng Hui looked at the corpse with a very ugly expression on his face.

As a man who has watched many American TV series, it was hard for him not to imagine what the flesh and blood were used for when he saw the corpse with its flesh torn off.

Especially since he had just been baptized by the murals, almost the first time he saw this sea of ​​consciousness, he thought of the "God" who was put on the dining table without any resistance.

"Tell me I'm wrong." Cheng Hui looked at Lin Qingyang with a wooden face.

Lin Qingyang raised his eyebrows: "You are wrong."

Cheng Hui: ...

He held his forehead with his hand in amusement: "I say... is it really okay for you to lie with your eyes open like this?"

Lin Qingyang curled his lips and said, "As long as you like it, don't say it's a lie. Even if you want to destroy the world, I'm happy to cooperate."

Cheng Hui: ...

Although this statement is a bit childish and has some incorrect values, why is it so exciting?

Cheng Hui didn't know why, but he felt a little warm in his ears. This statement of "Even if everyone betrays you, I will still stand by you" was really touching.

"Ahem..." Cheng Hui barely suppressed the inexplicable shyness in his heart and quickly pulled his wandering thoughts back.

This is not very difficult. After all, no matter how romantic a person is, it is unlikely that he would be romantic about a corpse that died in such a miserable state. What's more, Cheng Hui is not a romantic person.

Cheng Hui thought about it and didn't know how to deal with the body for a moment. Seeing that the noise in the distance was getting closer and closer, it was very likely that someone else would come in. He had no choice but to close the lid of the secret compartment first, and then put the secret compartment into the storage ring.

Afterwards, he quickly used his spiritual sense to check the surrounding murals and confirmed that there was only this one secret compartment. Then he quickly left the temple with Lin Qingyang.

Places like the temple are most likely to hide treasures. Although the two did not gain anything except the corpse, those who came later would not think so. They would only think that Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang had swept away all the good things here.

In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, the two of them quickly and tacitly left the Divine Condor and turned into the surrounding alleys.
