Still in shock, Mingyue looked at the corpse on the ground vigilantly, then calmed down and looked around.

She no longer dared to be careless. This sudden attack reminded her that this was... a very dangerous place.

She secretly blamed herself in her heart. She had never been so careless before. Why did she lose her focus today?

Looking at the man who was accompanying her, Mingyue thought to herself that perhaps it was because of his company that her vigilance had decreased.

This kind of thing must never happen again, not even once.

Thinking silently in her heart, Mingyue took a breath and said coldly, "Thank you..."

The tone was still so cold. Seeing that his senior sister had returned to her former state, Ye Qiu's heart trembled and he felt a little worried.

The psychological defense line that I finally broke through will not be repaired again, right?

Before Ye Qiu could answer, Mingyue answered his doubts with her actions. She just silently took his hand, feeling the warmth from his palm and the indifferent tone of the cold woman.

"Let's go."

Ye Qiu finally smiled. Mingyue was still the same Mingyue, without any change. Even if she liked him very much, she still maintained the same attitude.

This is what Ye Qiu admires most about her.

"Walk……"

The two men once again set foot on the Yellow Springs Road. As they went deeper and deeper, the yellow sand in the sky became more and more violent.

Yellow smoke rose up, blocking all their vision. Walking in the dim sky and earth, they could only hold each other's hands and walk by feeling.

At this moment, Ye Qiu finally understood the true meaning of that sentence.

There is no turning back on the road to the underworld!

The real meaning is not that you really can't go back, but that the moment you enter here, you have lost contact with your past.

You can't find the way you came at all. Every trace you left behind will be slowly buried by the yellow sand.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was standing in the yellow sand, looking at the empty world, feeling confused.

They had lost their way, and even the desolate ancient road they had taken was gone.

"This time, I'm afraid there's really no turning back."

Muttering to himself, Mingyue was speechless. After a moment's pause, he replied, "I never look back! From the moment we embarked on this path, we were destined to go all the way to the end."

“Perhaps, by crossing this stretch of yellow sand, we can reach the pure land in our hearts, where… we can truly understand the mysteries of life.”

Hearing this, Ye Qiu remained silent, but fell into deep thought.

The mystery of life!

The Great Emperor Zhenwu once spoke about this issue, but even he could not explain it and was trapped by it all his life.

Is longevity really that important?

Why did so many ancient people, one after another, embark on this road of no return?

Ye Qiu didn’t know, at least he couldn’t understand this truth now.

The two supported each other and slowly walked along the long road. Neither of them could remember how long they had been walking.

"boom……"

Just as the two were about to reach the other side of the alien world, a sound suddenly came from the yellow smoke.

The two men's faces changed instantly, and they looked towards the source of the sound vigilantly.

"That is..."

When they saw the source of the sound, fear and anxiety flashed in their eyes.

It was a skull, without a body or soul, and emitting a bloody glow.

The most terrifying thing about him is not his appearance, but his aura.

"On the sacrificial path!"

"Damn it, what you fear will come true."

At this moment, Ye Qiu couldn't help but burst into cursing. He thought that everything would go smoothly along the way, without any trouble.

I didn’t expect that just when we were about to reach the finish line, such an ancient god would suddenly appear.

The moment the skull woke up, the yellow sand around it fell instantly, and an extremely heavy and terrifying oppressive force instantly came down. The two men only felt their shoulders sink, as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

"Such a strong sense of oppression. This aura, I'm afraid it has reached the level of the Great Elder, right?"

Mingyue frowned, her heart was in turmoil, her brain was working fast, thinking hard about a solution.

She is a very peculiar woman. Unlike most women who would panic when encountering problems, she is just the opposite. The more dangerous the situation is, the calmer she is. Her calmness is so frightening that it makes people feel scared.

After a long silence, she apologized first and said, "I am Mingyue, and my junior brother Ye Qiu, here to greet you, Senior!"

"We two had no choice but to break into the place where you are sleeping. We did not mean to disturb you intentionally. I hope you can forgive me."

I have to say, her reaction was really quick.

The bloody skull that had just awakened was about to take action, but when it heard her words, it stopped instantly.

As if it was very interested in the little girl in front of it, the skull grinned and actually started talking.

"Haha... you are such a polite girl. I have been sleeping here for many years and have seen countless daring desperadoes break in here and try to pick the fruits from the Yellow Springs Fruit Tree."

"Unfortunately, their bodies were buried under that fruit tree and became fertilizer."

"If they were as polite as you, maybe they wouldn't have to die."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two men's faces changed instantly, and Ye Qiu was even more shocked.

"Yellow Spring Fruit Tree! There really is a Yellow Spring Fruit Tree here."

Ye Qiu was shocked. The Yellow Spring Fruit was known as the supreme treasure among the three treasures of Yellow Spring. He had one in his hand, but he had never been willing to eat it.

He had never imagined that there was a natural Huangquan fruit tree here, which was something more precious than the Huangquan fruit.

With it, it means that he can achieve freedom of the Yellow Spring Fruit, which is no joke.

Ye Qiu was about to speak with excitement when he suddenly realized something and said quickly, "Senior, we two have no intention of offending the Yellow Spring Sacred Tree. We just had no choice but to break in here. If we disturbed you, please forgive us. We will leave immediately."

Compared to the Huangquan Fruit Tree, Ye Qiu felt that life was more important.

This timely brake also successfully saved his and Mingyue's lives, because the bloody skull had been observing the changes in their facial expressions.

This slight detail caught Ye Qiu's attention, and he immediately concluded that this senior was deliberately testing them.

He also deliberately mentioned the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree, because when ordinary people heard this name, they could not hide the greed in their eyes at all.

The moment he made this judgment, Ye Qiu instantly understood that this senior was testing the two of them to see if they were really coming for the Huangquan Fruit Tree.

And what they just said, is it true?

If they had broken in accidentally, they would have no way of knowing that the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree was here.

If you knew, you would be well prepared!

Obviously, the bloody skull had already seen the answer it wanted. Judging from the surprised looks of Ye Qiu and Mingyue just now, they obviously didn't know it.
