After walking for a while, Cao Jia'an suddenly saw an old man in a linen robe walking with a hunched back in front of him.
You know, this is a secret world.
There couldn't be any ordinary old man, so Cao Jia'an's first reaction was to turn around and walk in another direction. But after he turned around, he found that there was still an old man in front of him walking with a hunched back.
It didn't look like there was any danger, he was just walking slowly.
But in fact, Cao Jia'an felt a chill on his back.
Finally, Cao Jia'an decided to walk up and ask how the other person was. Whether he was dead or alive depended entirely on his mood.
Thinking of this, Cao Jia'an quickened his pace and walked forward.
He never expected that as he quickened his pace, the old man in front of him also quickened his pace, always keeping a distance of more than ten steps from him. The two men walked one after the other for a long time, and the old man never stopped. However, Cao Jia'an became more and more panicked.
"If I don't continue to follow him, will he go away on his own?" Cao Jia'an muttered softly.
Thinking of this, Cao Jia'an stopped on his own initiative.
The old man also stopped.
It was as if he had eyes behind his back.
Cao Jia'an was anxious and said loudly: "Junior Cao Jia'an, nice to meet you, Senior. I wonder if there is anything you need me to do? Please feel free to ask."
This statement is just right.
It not only expresses that you have no ill intentions, but also tells the other party that you are willing to serve them wholeheartedly.
But the old man seemed not to hear him and just stood there quietly.
Cao Jia'an turned around and looked to the other side. In front of him, the old man was still standing there.
East, south, west and north, there was the old man in the linen robe.
Even Cao Jia'an didn't know whether there were four people or just one.
But one thing is certain.
This old man is definitely very powerful.
Suddenly, Cao Jia'an thought of something.
Mo Qiandao had previously told him that this was an ancient secret realm. If this was really a secret realm, then there should be great opportunities here. This old man in the linen robe might very well be some powerful being from ancient times.
Now the old man obviously has no intention of taking action, which means that he is safe.
But the old man obviously had no intention of leaving. Could this be...
"Have I come across a great opportunity?" Cao Jia'an's eyes bulged and his heart trembled.
If I could really encounter a great opportunity in this ancient secret realm, then after I get out, within a hundred years, I would definitely become an extremely powerful person who would be feared by everyone.
When Cao Jia'an had this thought, the old man seemed to know what he was thinking and he slowly turned around.
Cao Jia'an was completely shocked.
The old man's face was like bitter tree bark, full of wrinkles, a mouth full of black teeth, and black saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth. His face seemed completely twisted together, his nose was crooked, his mouth was slanted, and even his eyeballs were one up and the other down.
Can this still be considered a human being?
No, I should say, could this really be a powerful ancient being?
If he is really a powerful ancient being, he should not have such appearance.
From the old man's face, Cao Jia'an only saw an expression of extreme misery, and could not sense any aura of a strong man at all.
Could it be that this is just an ordinary old man?
It is said that some ordinary people who accidentally enter some secret realms and die there will become a special existence. People outside call these ordinary people who die in the secret realms demonic skeletons.
Because those ordinary people who died but were not completely dead were already considered half-demons, and they were not cultivators, so they were called demonic skeletons.
Cao Jia'an felt that there was a very high chance that the old man in front of him was the Demon Skeleton.
Of course, this is just speculation right now.
We need to try it to see if it is true.
But Cao Jia'an didn't dare to try. He was afraid that if he acted rashly, if the other party was really a very powerful person, he would not be able to explain himself clearly.
"Senior, I am Cao Jianan, a junior. Nice to meet you!" Cao Jianan bowed to the old man from a distance.
The old man just stared at Cao Jia'an without saying a word. His eyes were completely empty. Although he was looking at Cao Jia'an, it seemed as if he was looking at something farther away.
Cao Jia'an felt his hair stand on end as he was stared at, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
With one step, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
The originally green grass turned black, the originally blue sky turned red, and the old man who originally looked very scary became even scarier.
Cao Jia'an finally couldn't bear it anymore, drew out the long sword beside him, and slashed at him.
With a loud bang.
The majestic aura spread out from where Cao Jia'an was standing, and the semi-arc-shaped sword energy was like a crescent moon, sweeping towards the old man in front.
Bang!
The old man was hit hard by the sword energy, but he didn't even move.
In that sword strike just now, Cao Jia'an had actually used almost all of his strength, but this was the result.
A feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged in Cao Jia'an's heart.
Cao Jia'an realized that in this ancient secret realm, people like himself were probably the weakest existence. Even if the old man was really a demon skeleton, he was a demon skeleton in the ancient secret realm. If he had become a demon skeleton in ancient times, it would have been countless tens of thousands of years now.
Even if this old man was an ordinary person at first, he probably has extraordinary abilities now.
