"Don't worry, Brother Xiu, even if I die, these two antiques won't be damaged. These two things are priceless!" Yang Ming couldn't help but tighten his grip on the backpack in his arms.
For this trip, Fang Xiu only allowed him to bring two extremely valuable antiques. Firstly, it would be inconvenient to bring too many, since there might be battles, and antiques are very fragile before they transform into spiritual weapons.
Secondly, the transformation of antiques requires the absorption of strange power. If too many antiques are gathered together, the last one may not be able to transform.
So he only chose these two items, but these two items were enough. If even one of them could successfully nurture a spirit, he would have made a huge profit.
The Imperial Seal of the State is a symbol of imperial power, and the amount of spiritual power it embodies is unimaginable. Once it becomes a spiritual artifact, it will definitely be among the most elite.
The same goes for the Tiger Tally. Although it is not as prestigious as the Imperial Seal of the State, it symbolizes military power, and its importance needs no further explanation.
"Brother Xiu, what about you?" Xiong Tianguang asked.
Fang Xiu shook his head: "I don't need protection."
The reason he didn't have anyone protect him was simply because he wanted to test his current strength.
He had killed fourth-tier spirit masters before. Putting aside the domain, in terms of strength alone, he was already no weaker than a fourth-tier early-stage spirit master.
The soil on the grave began to writhe as if it were alive, rising wildly towards the feet of the people, continuing to rise, determined to bury them.
Li Xiaoru and the others used their domain power to suppress the grave soil, and the wildly escalating grave soil immediately slowed down, and even began to gradually stop.
Fang Xiu, on the other hand, had transformed into a form with blood-red eyes and silver hair, wearing the Primal Mask on his face, and his entire body was enveloped in black flames.
Last time he was able to slow down the burial of the grave soil. This time, after breaking through to the third level, he can mobilize more power from the Primordial Mask. There's no reason why he can't withstand the grave soil.
As it turned out, Fang Xiu, after his strength surged, was able to suppress the grave mound even without his domain.
This ease reminded him of the previous team wipe. Indeed, strength is the key. Once you have the strength, those past hardships and obstacles seem insignificant now.
After about five minutes of suppressing the soil on the grave, the churning soil returned to the earth, and everything returned to calm. Even the old man who fished for corpses had disappeared without a trace.
Where it was before, a white hole leading to the outside world appeared.
Fang Xiu naturally wouldn't leave through the white hole; this time, he was determined to visit the spatial node.
Not only do they need to explore the secrets of the previous era and Zhou Qingfeng, but they also need to improve their strength more quickly.
"Let's go, next stop."
Everyone returned to the car, and the eerie train slowly started moving, heading towards... its final stop, the burial ground!
Outside the carriage, it was pitch black, with a hazy mist rising from the other side.
However, the group on the ghost train was not affected by the fog.
The distance to the final stop seemed exceptionally far. A full hour later, the eerie train slowly came to a stop, and outside the train was a dark forest shrouded in gray fog.
As soon as everyone got out of the car, their expressions changed drastically.
The gray mist seemed to carry a deadly poison, constantly invading everyone's bodies.
Li Xiaoru and the others quickly used their domain power to isolate the gray fog before daring to breathe.
Xiao Chuxia and Yang Ming, who were already experienced, were both unharmed, one using her own abilities and the other using the Corpse-Suppressing Pearl.
As for Fang Xiu?
Not only was he unharmed, but he also felt physically and mentally refreshed. The gluttonous mouth on his left hand opened involuntarily, greedily devouring the thick gray mist, as if he had returned home.
He even had a feeling that if he stayed in this place, even without experiencing any strange events, he could probably improve his strength just by sitting there.
"Brother Hugh, are we really going to explore this hellish place? Although we can temporarily withstand this gray fog, it's constantly draining our spiritual energy."
"It's alright, I've already seen the future."
Everyone immediately felt reassured.
"Hey! The ghost train has left! It's not waiting for us this time!?" Xiao Chuxia suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone turned around and realized that the strange train that had stopped at every station had actually left, just as it had appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
"Hey, so what if he leaves? Brother Xiu has already seen the future, what's there to be afraid of?" Yang Ming said nonchalantly.
Then, led by Fang Xiu, the group entered the eerie forest.
The gray fog in the forest seemed to have thickened, and all the trees were dead, as if each one had been drained of its life force, with withered and yellow leaves.
Suddenly, a gust of wind, sounding like both crying and laughing, swept by, bringing with it a chilling atmosphere mixed with the stench of rotting corpses. The temperature plummeted, sending shivers down one's spine.
Even though everyone had their own means of self-defense, they couldn't help but shudder.
Is this really a spatial node? Even the sound of the wind is not much different from that on the other side; perhaps this is the wind blowing from the other side.
As Fang Xiu's strength increased, he completely integrated the strange entities within his body, and with the increasing number of strange entities he devoured, his body became increasingly inhuman. Even when facing the playful winds from the other side without any protection, he was unharmed and even felt a cool sensation.
The group continued onward, and the wind grew stronger, as if foreshadowing the appearance of something terrifying.
Li Xiaoru and the others couldn't help but look solemn. Although Fang Xiu was leading the team, this was the first time they had ever seen such an eerie place. They hadn't encountered anything strange yet, but they were forced to use their domain power to protect themselves.
As they went deeper, they gradually sensed something was wrong; a feeling of being spied on emanated from all around them.
