Peng Li nodded in agreement and continued to follow Li Zhiming.

Another half hour passed.

Peng Li's eyes changed slightly, "Brother Li, Qi Yang is already within 20 miles of us, but he didn't continue to rush towards us. Instead, he kept a certain distance from us and went in the direction of the stronghold."

"Qi Yang has just entered the Trial Road and has not yet figured out the situation here, so he will not act rashly. By the way, did he pass on any news to you?"

Li Zhiming turned to look at Peng Li, and the speed of the two slowly slowed down.

“Here it comes!”

Peng Li's face suddenly changed, his mind moved, and the voice transmission token lit up.

A piece of news appeared in front of the two people.

"We will go to the first base and carve our names on the stone tablet. You go find Qin Chuan and notify me in time when he is alone."

Li Zhiming stopped and landed on a bare tree trunk.

He stroked his chin, looking serious.

What he expected was correct. Qi Yang was indeed going to attack the people around him.

The first one is Qin Chuan, and the second one must be Senior Sister Mingzhu.

His best friend is his Achilles' heel, and no one can touch him.

"Brother Li, what should I do?"

"Reply him normally and tell him that you are looking for Qin Chuan and ask him to wait for news." Li Zhiming replied after thinking for a moment.

"good."

Peng Li nodded and replied to Qi Yang according to what Li Zhiming said.

"It is not appropriate for us to meet Qi Yang now. Let him go to the first stronghold first. We will rest here and collect the Cloud Horn Stone and Heavenly Spirit Crystal."

Li Zhiming opened the holographic eye and looked around.

There are quite a few cloud-horn stones and heavenly spirit crystals here.

There are several obvious places where energy converges.

With the holographic eye, Li Zhiming felt that everything he did was much easier.

"Cloud Horn Stone and Sky Spirit Crystal?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Li looked around with a puzzled look on his face.

Along the way, Li Zhiming collected a lot of Tianling Crystals and Yunjiao Stones.

But he had no idea how Li Zhiming discovered these two minerals, and Li Zhiming had never failed. As long as he explored a place, there would definitely be Tianling Crystal or Yunjiao Stone.

Along the way, just by following Li Zhiming to pick up "junk", he already had five Tianling crystals and more than twenty Yunjiao stones.

If he continued like this, it wouldn't be long before he could collect ten Heavenly Spirit Crystals and meet the basic requirements for completing the Trial Path.

"Why can't I sense the existence of the Sky Spirit Crystal and Cloud Horn Stone?"

Peng Li was full of doubts, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Cloud Horn Stone and Sky Spirit Crystal contain unique energy. As long as you remember the characteristics of the energy, you can easily detect Cloud Horn Stone and Sky Spirit Crystal."

"But all this requires a prerequisite, that is, your mental strength and perception are strong enough, otherwise everything will be in vain."

Li Zhiming explained with a smile. He had already jumped down from the tree and came to a protruding red sandstone two meters away.

Li Zhiming raised his hand and his true energy surged out instantly.

Immediately followed by a muffled sound, the red sand and gravel shattered into slag.

Among the rubble on the ground, there were three gray-blue stones shaped like pebbles that were emitting light.

This is the unique mineral in the Trial Road, Cloudhorn Stone.

Peng Li has long been accustomed to this situation.

"Brother Li, I'll adjust my breath first."

He sat cross-legged on a smooth stone, closed his eyes, and breathed in and out.

The sky gradually darkened, night fell, the stars were shining brightly, and from time to time a meteor streaked across the sky.

At night, Li Zhiming felt the temperature had dropped significantly.

He looked up at the sky and keenly captured the flow of fire energy.

The flame energy floating in the surrounding space seemed to be guided by something and all gathered towards the east.

Peng Li stood up, opened his arms and stretched his muscles.

The gentle breeze made him very happy.

"Brother Li, the temperature seems to have dropped, but the pressure still exists."

"The blazing fire energy consumes a lot of true energy. Now that the temperature has dropped, I can move freely without releasing true energy."

"It seems that night should be the best time to act," Peng Li analyzed.

"That's right. In that case, let's take action and go to the first base to check out the situation."

Li Zhiming jumped up and flew towards the south.

That is the direction of the first stronghold.

As for the direction of the flow of the flame energy that he had just noticed, Li Zhiming was not in a hurry. He went to the stronghold to find out the situation first.

The two of them galloped for an hour and finally saw an ancient building.

However, most of them are in ruins, and only a small part of the central area is intact.

That part is the first stronghold, the center of the first area of ​​the Trial Road.

Li Zhiming took out a mask and threw it to Peng Li.

"For the sake of caution, it's best for the two of us not to show our true faces."

"Lest someone spread the news that you and I are together to Qi Yang's ears."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhiming took out two sets of clothes belonging to disciples of the Punishment Hall.

"From now on, we are disciples of the Punishment Hall."

Li Zhiming changed his clothes, put on a mask, and transformed himself into a disciple of the Punishment Hall who never showed his face.

"clear."

Peng Li took the mask and clothes, put them on, and followed Li Zhiming.

The two walked through a large area of ​​dilapidated buildings and came to the center of the place.

There is a huge stone platform here, and there is a small round platform in the center of the platform.

The two disciples stood on the circular platform, and suddenly there was a bright spiritual light, and then they disappeared on the spot.

That is the teleportation formation that the great elder mentioned.

In less than a day, some disciples could not bear it anymore and chose to quit.

Li Zhiming and Peng Li entered the central area and stepped onto the huge stone platform.

There are nearly a hundred disciples sitting cross-legged here, resting and recuperating.

On the south side of the stone platform, there is a huge stone tablet about three meters high, with densely packed names engraved on it.

"Brother, that is the stone tablet. Let's go over there and leave our names there first."

Peng Li said softly.

Li Zhiming nodded and came to the stone tablet.

A long sword appeared in Peng Li's hand. Just as he was about to carve his name on it, Li Zhiming stopped him.

This action attracted the attention of many disciples.

They naturally noticed the arrival of Li Zhiming and the other man. They looked like disciples of the Punishment Hall, but they didn't know why they were wearing masks.

But this does not affect their enjoyment of the show.

Because this stone tablet is not an ordinary object, it is not easy to leave your name on it.

Many people have suffered setbacks on the stone tablet.

Hundreds of people have arrived at the base today, but so far, less than a hundred have left their complete names on the stone tablet.

Some of the people who stayed here were resting and recuperating, while others were disciples who did not leave their names behind but were ready to continue trying.

When Li Zhiming and Peng Li walked towards the stone tablet, all the disciples looked over, wanting to watch the show.

But Li Zhiming's sudden stop made them all look surprised.

"Who is this person? Has he noticed the problem with the stone tablet?"

"That should be the case, otherwise how could it stop?"

"He looks like an expert, but I don't know who he is from the Punishment Hall. He's wearing a mask, isn't he?"

Some disciples whispered.

"Brother, what's going on?" Peng Li asked.

"We just came to check out the base. We can't leave our names on it for now, or our identities will be exposed."

"Besides, there seems to be something wrong with this stone tablet."

A stone appeared in Li Zhiming's hand. He swung his hand violently and the stone shot out.

But when it was only an inch away from the stone tablet, it suddenly stopped, trembled wildly, and then exploded into pieces.

“Ah, this…?”

Peng Li was surprised. This stone tablet also has the function of self-defense!
