However, the two did not go in immediately, but looked around.

"Do you want to check out the other two doors?" Zhou Qing asked Ning Wan.

"Three doors, three roads, will there be any difference?"

Ning Wan hesitated, she was a little undecided, this tomb was completely unfamiliar to her.

"Open another door and see."

Zhou Qing nodded, went to the left, and pressed the handprint mechanism.

"boom!"

The stone door opened, revealing four more puppets inside. Their strength was similar to that of the middle door, and they were soon dealt with by the two of them.

"It seems that there should be such puppets guarding behind the three doors." Zhou Qing looked at the third stone door.

"Should we explore separately?"

They didn't know whether the places behind each stone door were different, whether the three roads represented by the three doors were correct or wrong, etc.

Exploring separately seems to be a better option on the surface.

Ning Wan thought for a while, and finally shook her head, rejecting the proposal to explore separately.

"There are three doors here. Even if we explore separately, one door will be missed. It is better to concentrate our efforts on one road."

"This place won't be easy. The corpse puppets in the Bone Refining Realm are just the beginning. The mission that my parents can run as an assessment at the headquarters must at least have the danger of the Sage Cleansing Marrow Realm."

"It is not right for us to separate."

The dangers of the Holy Marrow Cleansing Realm, your parents really dote on you...

"Then I'll do as you say."

Zhou Qing had no objection. The person who made the decision for this action was Ning Wan. He could make suggestions, but he would definitely not go against her.

It is Ning Wan’s exclusive assessment task, not his.

Ning Wan added: "Don't worry, we will choose a door first. If we don't find the ghost corpse fire behind this door in the end, then we will turn back and enter other doors to look for it again."

Ning Wan gave Zhou Qing a guarantee to show that she would not breach the contract.

"Let's wait until we go in and see. What if we get lucky and achieve our wish after just a few steps?"

After making up their minds, the two opened the third door.

Although they guessed that the gatekeepers of the three gates might be the same, they had never seen it with their own eyes, so it would be better to try it themselves to avoid missing anything.

However, there were still no accidents. Behind the third door, there were four corpse puppets delivering food.

This thing is really easy to deal with. It has no intelligence and is made from secondary processing of a corpse, so it can be easily controlled without any accidents.

As a result, twelve corpse puppets were harvested directly.

"Is this thing valuable?" Zhou Qing was a little curious.

"We won't know until we conduct a detailed inspection and evaluation." Ning Wan replied:

"It depends on whether it can be repaired and whether it can be manipulated by others. If not, then it has no value."

"This kind of corpse that has been refined by the puppet technique cannot be used to practice the corpse refining technique. If it cannot be controlled by other puppeteers, then I have to find a place to burn them."

"There was a Tianming Sect's Earth Beast Field in Tianyue County. There should be puppets in it, right?"

Obviously, the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is well-informed.

Zhou Qing nodded, "There are puppets, and they can even talk to people, as if they have intelligence."

"When we first went deep into the beast field, we had to find the token and get the puppet's permission to enter."

"That kind of puppet is very valuable, far more valuable than this kind of corpse puppet." Ning Wan said:

"Unfortunately, it is very difficult to preserve such puppets. They will be eroded by time. They are not like corpse puppets and other ordinary puppets that can be stored for a long time."

"A spirit puppet from the Tianming Sect can be sold at a high price in Wanxing City."

"Has anyone developed a puppet similar to the spirit puppet?"

"Yes, but it is not as popular as the Tianming Sect. The cost of cultivating a spirit puppet is very high."

Ning Wan said: "But judging from the various ruins of the Tianming Sect, the art of spirit puppets is very mature there, and they can easily refine a large number of spirit puppets. It is really magical and unpredictable."

"This method is what all the major forces want to crack."

Zhou Qing thought to himself, what's a spirit puppet? Judging from what the spirit puppets in the Earth Beast Farm said, the Tianming Sect even developed puppet life.

Puppets that can practice and improve themselves independently like humans can be said to be a puppet clan.

It's really against the will of heaven.

During the conversation, the two had already walked into the middle door.

Since there was really no difference between the three doors, they had no choice but to choose their original path.

After entering the door, the same corpse oil lamps as those in the square were lit up, and the unpleasant smell filled the air again.

Zhou Qing and his companion were very cautious and tried not to breathe the air here, fearing that the smell might be strange.

Fortunately, the two of them had high cultivation levels, otherwise they would not have dared to enter such a large tomb that had not seen the light of day for a long time at such a high time.

With their cultivation level, there is no problem in holding their breath for a while.

But it is impossible to stop breathing forever, so you can only be cautious, cautious and cautious again.

The passage behind the door was very long. Zhou Qing and his friends walked for a long time but didn't see anything else, which made them feel a little confused.

"Ning Wan, isn't this tomb too big?"

As Zhou Qing spoke, he looked towards Ning Wan, but this one look was incredible.

He actually saw Ning Wan disappear with his own eyes.

Just like that, it disappeared right before his eyes for no apparent reason.

"call!"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew and shrill whistling sounds were heard.

One after another evil ghosts flew out from the depths of the passage, roaring towards Zhou Qing, the air was filled with yin energy and boiling ghost spirit.

Every evil ghost exudes a terrifying aura. Zhou Qing has felt this kind of aura before. It is similar to that of a saintly monk!

A large group of holy ghosts rushed towards him. Even with the noble spirit, he couldn't resist it! Zhou Qing concentrated, but soon sneered.

The ability of the Yin-Yang Eyes was automatically activated just now. There was nothing in front of him, so how could there be a group of evil spirits?

Zhou Qing immediately understood that it was all an illusion! He was certain in his heart that after seeing through the illusion, he turned around and saw that Ning Wan had not disappeared at all. She was always beside him, but she also stopped moving forward. It seemed that she was also trapped in the illusion.

However, before Zhou Qing tried to wake Ning Wan from the outside, her body moved and then looked at Zhou Qing. It was obvious that she was awake too.

"Illusion?"

"It should be."

The two of them turned their heads in tacit understanding and found that the stone door was still faintly visible, and the distance they had walked was not very far.

"How was this illusion triggered?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that there is an illusion in the passage behind the door. The other is that it is the smell we have been smelling since we came down."

Zhou Qing nodded. What Ning Wan said made sense.

The two of them carefully checked the passage again and did not find any magical patterns engraved on it. Although the stone walls that made up the passage were not made of ordinary stones, they were not high-end materials either and did not have any hallucinogenic effects.

Zhou Qing pondered for a while and said, "I don't think the illusion just now was very strong."

"Yes, it's not strong, and it's not perfect either." Ning Wan nodded. "If it's related to the smell, then that makes sense. After all, we've been very careful and didn't inhale much."

They were already trying to reduce the amount of odor they inhaled here, but it wasn't much.

If this was the source of the illusion, then their caution did help them.

After studying for a while, the two continued to move forward. When Zhou Qing stepped on a piece of floor, his feet suddenly felt empty.

Zhou Qing's body tilted, and then he quickly balanced himself. His mental strength poured out to support himself. Ning Wan also pulled him in time to prevent him from falling into the space below.

"What the hell?" Zhou Qing was annoyed.

He was always very careful, and never stopped observing with his naked eyes or using his suppressed spiritual perception.

But until I stepped there myself, there was nothing unusual about the collapsed road ahead.

Not only did he not notice anything unusual, Ning Wan didn't notice it either. Zhou Qing is a man, so he needs to take bigger steps. If Ning Wan was in front of her just now, it would have been Ning Wan who triggered the mechanism.

She looked at the deep hole in front of her and said:

"There is actually such a primitive mechanism."

Yes, this form of mechanism and trap is indeed very primitive.

Zhou Qing squatted down and carefully observed the deep hole. It was too dark down there, without any light, and it swallowed up all vision and perception.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

The warrior's vision and the monk's spiritual perception are useless when facing the ground below, and they have no idea what is below.

Obviously, this is not normal. Some kind of supernatural power must have been used in the construction of this tomb, and its level must be higher than that of Zhou Qing and Ning Wan at this time, so it is impossible to peek into it.

"If you fall, the result will not be pretty."

Because it was too dark below and nothing could be seen, Ning Wan made a guess.

"Could it be that the entire passage below is empty?"

"That's not good news."

Zhou Qing discovered something, lowered his head a little, and spoke in surprise.

“There seem to be some patterns carved on the back of the floor?”

Ning Wan also made the same move and vaguely saw the pattern that Zhou Qing mentioned.

"Perhaps these lines are the culprit that prevents us from sensing this mechanism."

"It's not clear, and we can't decipher the patterns."

None of them is a master in this field. The master of this tomb has unfathomable abilities and his methods and arrangements are not something they can easily resolve.

Zhou Qing stood up and looked across the deep cave.

This distance wouldn't be a problem for them, but what if the stone slab on the other side was also a trap...

"Try it with the corpse puppet."

Ning Wan took out a corpse puppet and threw it over, but it fell heavily to the ground and there was no reaction.

"I'll go first." Zhou Qing said.

Ning Wan took out another rope and tied it around Zhou Qing as a safety measure.

Then Zhou Qing jumped up and landed on the other side without any accident.

"Come here."

Ning Wan nodded and jumped over.

But then the two of them became more cautious. Ning Wan directly tied up a corpse puppet and threw the corpse puppet forward with every step to explore the way in case any new mechanisms appeared.

After walking for a while, Zhou Qing found that Ning Wan was gone again.

Another illusion?

Then the passage in front began to collapse from the end and quickly spread towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing concentrated his mind and activated his Yin-Yang Eyes more and more deeply. Sure enough, it was still an illusion. The passage in front of him did not collapse at all, and Ning Wan was still by his side.

Zhou Qing's eyes were not simple Yin-Yang eyes. He had taken various treasures to improve his eyesight.

For example, the Six-Path Stone has the effect of seeing through illusions, and there are also various other eye-related wonders dropped by Tree Brother.

Moreover, the Yin-Yang Eyes is a talent. As his cultivation level increases, the effect of this talent will naturally increase. At least with his current cultivation level, he has definitely not reached his limit.

Therefore, Zhou Qing's eyes are quite special and convenient, and he likes them very much.

I don’t know how Ning Wan broke the illusion, but this thing couldn’t trap her.

Ning Wan said, "Here we go again. There must be something strange about this passage. It is very likely an illusion caused by the smell and the passage."

At the same time, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhou Qing's ability in illusions was so outstanding. It seemed that he could see through them easily.

But even though he had the ability to see through illusions, Zhou Qing's expression became solemn.

"What's wrong? What did you find?" Ning Wan asked.

"I'm afraid this illusion will change further." Zhou Qing said, "If the illusion appears a few more times, we will habitually regard everything we encounter in this passage as an illusion. But what if one of the encounters is real?"

"What if the illusion gradually intensifies to the point where we can't see through it?"

“It may be impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion anymore.”

It would be too dangerous if reality suddenly came to you in the endless illusion.

Even if Zhou Qing and the others didn't find any flaws, they would still doubt whether it was true or not.

The combination of reality and illusion is the most deadly.

The most important thing is that because of the existence of ground mechanisms, they have no way to move fast and can only grope their way forward slowly.

Ning Wan was silent, then nodded.

"You have a point."

Zhou Qing glanced at Ning Wan, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What I am most worried about is that after we come out of the illusion, I may not be myself, and you may not be you."

Ning Wan was slightly startled and her expression changed slightly. She could understand what Zhou Qing meant.

When they enter the illusion, they will each lose each other's trace until they break the illusion and can see each other again.

What if during this process, some other danger appeared here and replaced one of them...

So, what they are going to do next is...travel with ghosts.

Ning Wan took out a red ribbon from the space bracelet, which was a magic weapon.

She tied one end of the ribbon to her own hand and the other end to Zhou Qing's hand to confirm the other party's presence.

"Take your time, don't rush." ​​Ning Wan said:

"We still have a little over a month left."

Ning Wan meant that there was still more than a month left before the deadline for completing her task.

"Um."

The two continued to walk forward, and after walking for a while, they suddenly heard a clicking sound above their heads, and then there was a suction force.

"call!"

Zhou Qing and the other person moved in sync, raising their heads and backing away, but they did not encounter any danger, only a hole appeared above them.

However, Zhou Qing had a strange feeling in his body. He reached his hand under the cave entrance and finally determined where this strange feeling came from.

Zhou Qing looked strange and said, "This seems to be targeting the soul."

"Yes, my soul is in my body and I also feel like it's being sucked away." Ning Wan nodded.

"If we are walking here as spirits, then our spirits may have been swallowed by this place just now."

The physical body is the best protection for the soul.

Zhou Qing let out a breath.

"This place is really...full of dangers."
