In the silence, a flash of black light flashed across Shen Qingzhu's chest.

A faint dizziness emanated from his body, and a mysterious and supreme aura emerged in the cave. Lin Qiye and An Qingyu were both stunned and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Plop——!

Plop——!!

In the silent cave, the heavy heartbeat sounded again, and a dizziness spread from Shen Qingzhu's chest to his whole body. The almost dried blood began to flow again, and the half-broken palm that had been cold also began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His vitality is reviving.

“What’s going on?” Lin Qiye asked in confusion, the redness in his eyes still not fading away.

"That jade pendant is rebuilding Brother Zhuai's body." An Qingyu's eyes gradually lit up, "He is about to be resurrected!"

As the dizziness subsided, Shen Qingzhu's body finally recovered. The pale skin turned red again, and the tightly closed eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Qingzhu, who had come back to life, stared blankly at the two people in front of him for a moment before coming back to his senses.

"Is it you?"

"Brother!" Lin Qiye quickly ran forward, hugged Shen Qingzhu's shoulders with both hands, and quickly scanned his body with his mental power. After confirming that there were no more wounds, his face was filled with excitement and joy, "Are you okay?"

Shen Qingzhu looked down blankly at his healed palm.

“I just…”

"You just died." An Qingyu added, "I have confirmed that there should be no life left in your body."

Shen Qingzhu seemed to remember something. He reached out from his arms and took out a black jade pendant and placed it in his palm with an extremely complicated expression.

"Before I left Heaven, Pang Pang gave me a jade pendant, saying it could bring the dead back to life... Thanks to this thing, I am able to come back to life."

"A treasure that can bring a person back to life?" Lin Qiye asked doubtfully, "When did he get this thing?"

"I don't know." Shen Qingzhu looked at the jade pendant and smiled bitterly, "It seems that I owe this little fat guy another life."

Shen Qingzhu stood up from the ground and moved his body briefly. All the injuries on his body had disappeared. He was no different from before he was injured, and his movements were very light.

"Brother, what happened after we left?"

Lin Qiye asked.

Shen Qingzhu was silent for a moment and sighed, "After you left, the exploration ship drifted on the sea. Later, I heard two loud noises in the sky, and then the trajectory of the surrounding ocean currents changed. By the time I reacted, the ship had already entered a narrow river channel.

I was planning to find a place to turn the boat around and get out, but unexpectedly a giant python suddenly swam out from the bloody water, smashed the keel of the boat, bit through my body, and swam around the mountains with me in its mouth.

After a desperate fight, I killed the giant python, but my body was too badly injured, and there were black-winged monsters hovering in the sky, so I could only find a cave to hide temporarily. After I leaned against it, I slowly lost consciousness... When I woke up, I saw you. "

Sure enough, he came here through the gap in hell... Lin Qiye nodded.

"Brother Zha, where is the shipwreck?" An Qingyu asked solemnly.

Shen Qingzhu thought for a moment and pointed in a direction. "I was carried by the giant python through many mountains, so I can't remember the exact location, but it's roughly in this direction, about ten kilometers away."

"What about the gap?"

“Also around there.”

Lin Qiye nodded, "Okay, then let's go and rescue Jiang Er, and then leave here directly through the gap."

Lin Qiye stood at the edge of the cave and looked out.

"There are a lot of demons outside. I'll go ahead, brother..."

Lin Qiye paused, "Brother Zha will go in the middle, and Qingyu will sit at the back. If you find anything, notify me in time."

For this formation of three people moving forward in a line, the person in front takes the greatest risk, followed by the person at the end. The closer you are to the middle, the safer you are.

In the past, Shen Qingzhu has always been at the end of the team, but the situation is special now. An Qingyu is here as just a clone. Even if something unexpected happens, his life will not be in danger if he is in charge at the end. He is the most suitable person to finish the job.

Relatively speaking, Shen Qingzhu is more vulnerable to injury, so it is reasonable for him to walk in the middle. Lin Qiye knows that doing so may increase Shen Qingzhu's sense of powerlessness, but now is not the time to worry about these things.

He had just witnessed Shen Qingzhu's death with his own eyes. As the captain, he must not let Shen Qingzhu take risks again.

He didn't want to experience the feeling of losing his teammates a second time.

After hearing Lin Qiye's arrangement, Shen Qingzhu paused slightly. After nodding silently, he quietly obeyed the order and walked in the middle, following Lin Qiye out.

"Do you feel that the ashes seem to be falling less?" An Qingyu looked at the sky through the air barrier held up by Shen Qingzhu and spoke thoughtfully.

"Maybe it's the end. After all, these ashes are definitely not endless. Otherwise, if it rains like this every day in another place, I'm afraid the whole earth will fall."

"Too……"

Since the three of them posed a bigger target, Lin Qiye walked more carefully this time. It took him nearly half an hour to finish half of the route.

However, as they went deeper, the mysterious area emitting red light deep in hell gradually came into the sight of the three people.

The three of them looked through the gaps between the mountains towards the core area, and saw a blood pool the size of a lake lying quietly between the surrounding mountains. The ashes fell into the blood pool and were quickly swallowed up, as if they had never appeared.

And in the center of the blood pool, a black crystal-like fragment was floating.

Countless blood threads extended from the blood pool, clinging to the surface of the black crystal, wriggling like blood vessels. Hundreds of demons hovered above the blood pool like a dark cloud.

The moment Shen Qingzhu and An Qingyu saw the black crystal, their eyes seemed to be sucked away and they couldn't move their eyes away.

An unprecedented desire surged in their hearts.

A pair of hands patted the back of their necks at the same time, and they came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream. Unknowingly, their backs were already soaked with cold sweat.

"What is that?" An Qingyu deliberately fixed his gaze on the edge of the black crystal, observing it with his peripheral vision, and asked in confusion.

"That is the origin." Lin Qiye stared at the black crystal and spoke slowly.

"The... origin of hell."
