If the source, Ning Caichen, is killed, these puppets will die. There is no doubt about it. This was destined to happen from the moment they stepped into Dead Corner Village.
After taking the gold and silver jewelry from the mummified villagers, Qiao Yuan started towards the village entrance.
Soon, Zhou Jin was seen pacing in the pavilion.
"What happened?" Qiao Yuan asked.
Zhou Jin reacted and frowned, saying, "According to the information from the Security Bureau, in secret places like mountain villages, springs are usually found at places like wells and stream sources."
"But I looked around and didn't find any wells or water sources. The only strange thing is this place!"
"There's something wrong with these two date trees!"
"I just tried it. When I got close to these two jujube trees, the spiritual energy in my body became a little more active than before!"
Qiao Yuan looked at the jujube tree next to the stone pavilion. He was not an awakened person, so he had not noticed it.
Then he used his mental power to carefully investigate and found that the vitality of the fruit tree was indeed a little stronger than that of other fruit trees.
The only pity is that his mental power cannot penetrate the soil in the secret realm.
Zhou Jin put away his equipment and came to a jujube tree. He cut the bark with a knife and put some into his mouth.
My eyes light up instantly!
“The concentration is too high!”
"There is a very high possibility that there is a spiritual spring under this ground!"
…
"Qiao Yuan, you...what are you doing!"
When Zhou Jin was analyzing seriously, he suddenly found Qiao Yuan walking towards the jujube tree and spitting on his hands twice.
This... is he thinking...
"I've disliked this jujube tree for a long time. Since there's something underneath, I'll pull it out!" said Qiao Yuan.
His eyes were fixed on the unusually tall date tree.
The trunk of the tree is about as thick as a woman's waist and about seven or eight meters tall.
If this kind of date tree were to be planted in the real world, it would at least be from our ancestors!
Qiao Yuan bumped into him with his body, but there was no response.
Then he stepped on the ground with both feet, turned sideways and hugged the tree trunk tightly!
"Get up for me!"
Both arms exerted force at the same time, veins bulged, the ground trembled, and leaves fell... The jujube tree finally responded.
The roots gradually emerged and the soil splashed.
A date tree was pulled out.
…
"Is this... is this still a human being?" Zhou Jin was shocked.
Throw the date tree aside.
A deep pit appeared at the bottom. Qiao Yuan explored it but found nothing. Then he looked at another jujube tree.
"Good things come in pairs, this one is pulled out too!"
Qiao Yuan used the same trick again and started to pull out another tree.
Same posture, same angle, same strength...
But a strange thing happened, the date tree did not move at all.
Away from the jujube tree, Qiao Yuan seemed lost in thought.
He drew his sword and swung it, but the scarlet blade light couldn't leave any mark on it.
There is definitely something wrong!
Qiao Yuan began to observe the jujube tree.
"Qiao Yuan, what's wrong..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Jin was shocked.
Because Qiao Yuan is missing!
What...is going on!
…
When Qiao Yuan reacted, he found that he was surrounded by thick fog and could not tell any direction at all.
"Zhou Jin?" Qiao Yuan called out.
There was no response from anyone around.
Qiao Yuan stood quietly without making any blind moves.
Soon, the fog dissipated and the view in front of me suddenly became wider.
I am currently in a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the top of which is invisible, and shrouded in clouds and mist.
It's like a paradise on earth.
The surroundings were extremely silent, with no signs of any living creatures.
And behind him, there was an identical date tree.
"Is this the place?"
Qiao Yuan thought for a moment, seemed to understand something, and then began to circle around the jujube tree.
Soon his figure disappeared.
"Qiao Yuan, where did you go just now?" Zhou Jin's voice came.
Finally... back to a familiar place.
"I think I know where the spiritual spring is!" said Qiao Yuan.
This jujube tree is indeed the key!
Just turn around it three times clockwise to get there, and to come back, just turn around it three times counterclockwise.
…
"This... is there such a thing? Who in their right mind would think of this?" Zhou Jin's admiration for Qiao Yuan deepened.
After three clockwise turns.
Soon, the two successfully entered the valley.
Zhou Jin was once again amazed by the spectacular sight.
This kind of place is definitely not the real world, and it is no less beautiful than the fairyland in mythology.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is inaccessible, so there is only one road ahead.
The two men began to move forward while remaining vigilant.
"It looks like that thing is just across the way!"
A long river blocked the two people's way. The river was deep and bottomless, with a thin layer of white mist floating above it, exuding a hint of coldness.
There is no wooden bridge in the middle and there are cliffs on both sides.
The river was shrouded in thick fog both above and below, and Qiao Yuan's mental power could not detect its source or end.
On the opposite side of the shore, a well made of rubble is clearly visible.
…
Similarly, Qiao Yuan also met an old acquaintance.
A scholar with extraordinary spirit known as Ning Caichen.
"Qiao Yuan, how did you find this place!" Ning Caichen exclaimed from across the river.
No one knows about this place, including the deceased Nie Xiaoqian. It is certain that even if Qiao Yuan enters the secret realm, he will never find this place.
But Qiao Yuan... refreshed its cognition again and again.
What’s even more terrifying is that this time it was unable to peek into Qiao Yuan’s thoughts.
