At this moment, a powerful force shattered the barrier set up by Yan Ci. The man in black discovered Leng Qingning hiding in the corner and stabbed her with a knife. Leng Qingning, who was busy looking for a mechanism, dodged in panic, and her left hand accidentally pressed on a stone.
With a loud rumbling sound, a stone door opened in front of her.
Shen Youshu looked at Leng Qingning with surprise and disbelief on her face. It was strange. She clearly didn't see Leng Qingning just now. When did this woman appear by her side?
As expected, she is the heroine in the book. She is so lucky that she found such a difficult-to-find mechanism.
No, she can't be so careless anymore, otherwise she will become cannon fodder on the heroine's road to success just like in the original novel.
Seeing that the men in black had noticed this place, she immediately rushed into the cave. Leng Qingning naturally did not want to be left behind, so she pulled Yan Ci over and followed closely behind them, entering the cave.
Before leaving, she did not forget to remind Luo Heng and the others, "Senior Brother Luo, Young Master Chu, come quickly!"
Luo Heng, who was fighting hard with the man in black, heard Leng Qingning's voice and immediately escorted the disciples of Zixia Sect to escape to the stone cave. Chu Xiangyu also escorted the junior brothers and sisters of Penglai Sect to escape in.
Those men in black wanted to catch up, but Luo Heng, Chu Xiangyu and Fu Qing joined forces to stop them at the entrance of the cave, throwing the talismans in their hands out without paying.
Only after everyone had safely entered did the three of them throw out a dozen talismans and get in.
The men in black were so angry that they could only watch them go in. The moment they entered the cave, the stone door at the entrance slammed shut.
"Damn it! They actually escaped! Hurry up and find the entrance to the mechanism, otherwise the master won't let us go easily."
Thinking of his ancestors' thundering methods, the leader of the men in black couldn't help but feel terrified.
"Yes, Commander."
A group of men in black groped around in the altar. One of them moved a stone, and suddenly the stone door opened.
He was immediately overjoyed and said, "Commander, we found the entrance!"
Leng Qingning had been walking for nearly half an hour, but still could not see the way forward. This passage seemed to have no end. After a long time, she couldn't help but feel upset.
From time to time, complaints from other disciples could be heard from behind.
However, Shen Youshu in front was walking particularly hard, as if something good was waiting for her ahead.
However, the original work she was familiar with only briefly mentioned that Leng Ning obtained a Chaos Stone here, without any other detailed descriptions.
Could it be that Shen Youshu also came here for this Chaos Stone?
She was not sure whether Shen Youshu was like her, knowing more about the contents of the book than others.
As for the conclusion, everything will be clear once they arrive.
Yan Ci seemed to be walking casually, but in fact, every time she thought Yan Ci was about to fall far behind her, this guy would catch up with her inadvertently.
This guy has made progress today and is so diligent. If it were usual, he would definitely not want to walk and would hide in her sleeve to take a nap.
At this moment, Yan Ci suddenly acted like a spoiled child and didn't want to leave.
"I don't want to leave, so I'll give you a chance to serve me."
"Can I refuse?" Leng Qingning covered her sleeves expressionlessly.
"Can't!"
It turned into a small black snake as thick as a thumb and coiled around her neck. The little black snake deliberately raised its pointed head, showing a pair of fangs to protest to her, and then lay contentedly on her neck. If you didn't know, you would think she was wearing a snake-shaped necklace.
Leng Qingning: "..."
Sure enough, what is meant to come will come.
Shen Youshu walked for a long time but still couldn't reach the end. She felt a little annoyed, so she quietly pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between the master and servant.
It was strange. She flipped through the storybook several times but couldn't find any information about when Leng Qingning had tamed this spirit pet. Could it be that the content recorded in the storybook was inaccurate?
But that's not right. She clearly got many opportunities.
Regardless of whether the records in the storybook are accurate or not, she must get this Chaos Stone. If Leng Qingning dares to snatch it from her, she will get it by any means necessary.
Feeling Shen Youshu secretly looking at her from time to time, Leng Qingning became more certain of her identity. If Shen Youshu had nothing to hide, she would not always stare at her secretly.
"What the hell is this place? We've been walking for half an hour and we're not there yet." A female disciple of the Goddess Sect complained behind him.
Another tired female disciple echoed, "Who knows? This damn place is pitch black, as if it has no end. Could we have run into a ghost wall?"
Mo Yunfei helplessly tapped the little sister's head with her fingertips and said, "You little girl, you're talking nonsense. There's no such thing as a ghost wall. Look, aren't we almost there?"
Sure enough, there was a sudden burst of light ahead, the road gradually became wider, and sunlight was faintly shining through the gaps in the cave entrance.
A breeze blew past the cave entrance, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of flowers. Many disciples who were feeling irritable while walking in the cave suddenly felt relaxed and happy after smelling this fragrance, and their depressed emotions were swept away.
The disciples behind him all said excitedly, "Great, we finally got out of that damn place!"
Shen Youshu glanced at her with a stern face and a cold look, then quickly rushed out of the cave. Seeing this, Leng Qingning also followed her towards the exit.
The moment we stepped out of the passage, we saw a completely different scene from the icy and snowy world outside the ruins. Now there were huge colorful clouds floating in the sky, and brilliant rays of light were shining on the ground, illuminating the tender green grass.
Not far away, green mountains are clustered together, echoing with colorful clouds. Colorful birds spread their wings and fly among the mountains, making sweet sounds like trickling mountain springs.
In front of the mountain, there is a green lake. In the center of the lake, there is a towering tree as thick as two adult arms. The ancient tree exudes the traces of time.
There were plump red fruits growing on it, and the fruits had an enticing sweetness. Before they got close, everyone felt an extremely rich spiritual power coming from the ancient tree.
Zhai Qianqian couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my god, it's so beautiful! Look, the clouds in the sky are actually colorful. Could this be a fairyland on earth?"
At the same time, many people's eyes were fixed eagerly on the ancient tree in the center of the lake. Their target, without a doubt, was the red fruits on the ancient tree.
Leng Qingning looked to her side and saw that Shen Youshu had already sneaked to the ancient tree.
Naturally, the others also discovered Shen Youshu. No one wanted to miss the opportunity that was right in front of them. The monks who had been united and friendly before to fight against the men in black outside were now extremely wary of each other.
