I will survive with proficiency

The moment Chen Ping landed, he took advantage of the opportunity to activate the golden tortoise armor formula for himself again, holding a sword in his hand to keep vigilance.

It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The monsters and human monks who fought just now disappeared completely.

The whole world is eerily quiet.

This is where?

Chen Ping quickly released his consciousness and scanned the current environment.

This is a dark tunnel.

There are not only smooth walls around, but also some broken walls of ancient buildings. The air smelled of disgusting stench and decay enriched by years of not circulating the air.

You can only look up at the top of the stone wall, but you can't see the sky.

‘This is inside the mysterious ruins? '

‘The underground palace? '

'Ancient tomb? '

Chen Ping released his consciousness again, trying to see the situation outside through the wall. But he found that there is actually a protective formation here, and his spiritual consciousness can't penetrate the sky to see the outside situation, can't penetrate deep enough into the ground, and can't even go through the wall to spy on what's beyond the wall. place.

What he is currently in is an underground palace tunnel with seven turns and eight turns, with forks on both sides.

It's like a maze.

"Chen Ao?" Chen Ping called out in a low voice.

All that awaited him was the empty echo of 'Chen Ao, Chen Ao, Chen Ao'.

...

"Chen... Convex."

On the other side, facing the dark underground palace, Xiyue called out, but she also only got an echo.

...

Such shouting scenes also happened in many places in the underground palace at the same time.

...

Chen Ping quickly analyzed the current situation based on the current environment and the battle scene before falling here.

It is guessed that this is probably the palace directly below the mysterious ruins. If this is the case, it just confirms Jiang Youwei's statement of "the passage has been opened".

I fell here in the middle of the battle.

But the formation still exists here, the entrance and exit are nowhere to be seen, and I can't even tell how I fell here.

Of course, this is just his guess.

The real situation is still unknown.

Chen Ping sensed that there was no spiritual power fluctuation within the limited range of spiritual consciousness, so he cast the 'fingertip white flame' to lighten up the dark environment a little.

At the same time, the long-lost Nine Serenity Colorful Cicada was released and let it fly to the front to explore the way.

Proceed cautiously along the wall.

The walls are mostly made of bluestone, dripping with damp, and moss even grew in some places, and occasionally water droplets dripped from the cave walls, making a soft 'ding dong' sound.

The ground is also wet, and there is even water in some low-lying places. When the shoes are stepped on, there will be a sound of treading water.

There are obvious sword marks on some walls, showing that someone has fought here before.

Chen Ping walked forward for a while, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

'No idea. '

'It's too complicated here. '

'I haven't seen anyone after walking for a long time. Am I the only one who fell in? '

He looked around, thought for a moment and then walked back.

Go back to a stone house in a secluded palace that you passed just now, take out the Nine Palaces Psychedelic Formation and the Liuxun and Six Yao Defense Formation, and arrange them in the stone house.

Removed the defensive layer on his body, ate a Qi Gathering Pill, and spread another layer of raw spirit ore.

Then start meditating in it to restore spiritual power.

During the battle just now, he was in the process of continuously killing the enemy, and he used the full-level Qingmang sword which consumed a lot of spiritual energy again.

Let his spiritual power consume too much.

More importantly, he opened multiple layers of defense throughout the whole process. Whether these defense layers are magic tools or spells, they all require spiritual power to maintain, and this process consumes spiritual power extremely.

That is to say, his current spiritual power is more than four times that of other monks in the same realm, so he can use multiple defense layers so luxuriously and recklessly.

Other monks would have exhausted their spiritual energy long ago.

Since we don't know what the underground palace is like now, it's better to replenish the spiritual power first for the sake of caution.

Half an hour later, he pressed his hands down and exhaled.

The spiritual power reserve has recovered to almost the eighth floor.

Instead of going out in a hurry, he took out the half body of the simple and honest monk from the storage bag.

"Wandering souls, why don't you keep them? The three souls will soon come, and the seven souls will come. Now I invite the five Taoists to collect the souls and leave the body."

"rise!"

Following Chen Ping's low growl, a faint soul floated away from the body, and the ghost body of the soul kept flickering.

Chen Ping summoned countless souls, and he was very clear about this situation, knowing that such souls would not last long, so he immediately began to ask souls.

"Why did you kill me?"

"."

"What is hidden in the mysterious ruins?"

"."

After more than ten questions, the soul dissipated.

Chen Ping also understood the doubts in his heart.

It turned out that this person was the hidden destroyer that Brother Jin said, that is, the follower of the withered old man on the back of the beast.

As for the withered old man's words to confuse these saboteurs, they are consistent with what the withered old man said in public, only more detailed.

That is: the mysterious ruins are the key to blocking the passage from the demon world to the human world.

As long as this place is destroyed, it means that the passage from the demon world to the human world has been opened, which will bring endless disasters to the entire human world.

This group of saboteurs behind the scenes were originally righteous people, who belonged to the kind of people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the overall situation.

Such people are rare, but there are.

During Chen Ping's questioning, this simple and honest monk claimed to be voluntary, and he claimed to be for righteousness.

As for whether they were controlled by drugs, Gu insects or other unknown means, lost their minds, and were willing to sacrifice themselves to serve the withered old man?

This is unknown.

After all, if they were really controlled by these methods, they would not be able to know it themselves.

Chen Ping also asked him which companions he had.

Yes, although rarely.

It is a pity that they are fighting alone, and occasionally cooperate in a temporary capacity, and they do not know who they are.

Among the monks in the village who never came back after going out, a few were killed by them.

Of course, their numbers are very small, they cannot massacre their companions, and they will not do so, especially for those monks who aim to find out the ancient teleportation array, they will even be eager to help, they will only focus on assassinating those who are necessary to attack the mysterious ruins A monk with a particularly strong will.

This is why Chen Ping was secretly attacked today.

The simple and honest monk had seen Chen Ping use the Heaven's Punishment Thunder, and he knew the power of the Heaven's Punishment Thunder. Although the attack power of the bat monster is not very strong, it is extremely flexible, and even has some magic magic, which is not easy to kill. It is precisely because of this that the bat monster often makes the human monks in the same realm suffer unspeakably.

But Chen Ping's Sky Punishment Thunder is suspected of cheating, and it specializes in bat monsters.

Once you cooperate with Jindan mid-to-late stage monks, one main control and one main attack may change the battle situation.

It's just that Chen Ping showed in the battle that he was only a monk at the first level of Jindan.

Therefore, Chen Ping became the target of the simple and honest monk.

As for who is the withered old man in this ruins?

The honest monk didn't know.

Besides the haggard old man, is there anyone else? And what's the situation inside the ruins? Is the underground palace where Chen Ping is currently an ancient tomb or a practice site?

The simple and honest monks didn't know any of this information.

The simple and honest monk had only heard that there was an underground palace in the ruins.

In the stone house.

Chen Ping pulled out the whip and pulled it down. Suddenly, a skull appeared on the whip. Then cast the dragon fire technique to burn the simple and honest monk to ashes, and at the same time dispel the almost non-existent remnant souls.

He remembered what Xiyue had said to him - when she first entered the Canglan Grassland, she felt that this place might be related to the demon race.

This is her intuition as a provider of channel imprisonment, and there is no evidence.

But now, judging from the words of the simple and honest monk, this should be a key place where the channel is imprisoned.

The haggard old man should not have lied about this.

only.

‘Why is Xihuang the place where the channel is locked up, and here too? How many confinement points are there? Or are there many passages from the demon world to the human world? '

'According to what the withered old man said, there is no passage out of the Canglan Grassland here, but why is Jiang Youwei so tireless about it? '

‘During the great battle a hundred years ago, what exactly did Jiang Youwei spy on? '

‘Who is hiding important information? '

'In any case, neither of these two people can believe it all. It doesn't matter what the real situation behind it is, there are only two things I have to do: first, survive this great war. Second, go out from Canglan Grassland. '

survive!

go out!

After Chen Ping cleaned up the remains of the simple and honest monk, his spiritual sense penetrated into the spirit animal bag and looked at the snow falcon.

Still dying.

He took out the Snow Falcon, gave it a rejuvenation spell, fed it a complex pill, and put it back into the spirit beast bag.

He got up to retrieve the array equipment and walked out of the stone house.

"Boom, boom!"

As Chen Ping went deeper into the dark and damp tunnel, he could hear knocking sounds coming from the front from time to time, but when he touched it carefully, he found that there was nothing there.

'This underground palace is full of weirdness. '

Chen Ping maintained a high degree of concentration, his whole body was covered with evil-killing talismans, and the soul-drawing whip was wrapped around his waist.

The Xie Xie Talisman has been slightly feverish since entering the underground palace. This is normal, as long as there are filthy things, even goblin wandering spirits, the evil spirit talisman will heat up slightly, but these wandering spirits will not attack humans.

In other words, it does not have the ability to attack humans.

Um?

stone house?

Chen Ping was slightly taken aback, and he went into the room to check it out. Judging from various details, this is the stone room where he just meditated and rested.

what's the situation?

After a long time, I came back.

Is the problem of tunnel intricacies making me walk back again? Or is there something wrong with the tunnel itself?

I lost my mind?

Sudden.

"Boom, boom."

Just when Chen Ping frowned and thought about breaking the situation, there was another knocking sound from the tunnel in front of him, but there was nothing under his spiritual perception.

Chen Ping dodges, approaching the wall to completely restrain his breath, and remain vigilant.

The knocking sound seemed to pause for a while, and then sounded again after a while, slowly approaching from far away.

One hundred feet, eighty feet, sixty feet...

Thirty feet...

Chen Ping didn't wait any longer, and the Seven Star Longyuan Sword slashed down, and a piercing sword light instantly lit up the entire tunnel.

When the sword light reached the wall, the stone wall was blown to pieces, and the knocking sound disappeared without a trace. At the same time, a shadow moved quickly on the stone wall.

Coming in the direction of Chen Ping.

The Xie Xie Talisman in Chen Ping's arms suddenly emitted scorching heat, and the lines were bright.

Evil?

Chen Ping was startled.

"break."

A few evil-killing talismans were instantly photographed by him on the stone wall. Driven by spiritual power, the evil-killing talismans flew along the wall quickly, and the sparkling spiritual power caused sparks to fly against the wall.

At the same time, dense halos of lightning filled the entire tunnel.

The originally dark tunnel suddenly became bright as day.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp scream came out along with the halo, and a figure jumped out from the wall and fled into the darkness.

Want to escape?

to die!

Chen Ping kept his palms, and countless thunder and lightning halos filled the entire tunnel again.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

That strange shadow couldn't move an inch.

In an instant it vanished into nothingness. Only the shrill screams echoed in the underground palace for a long time.

Chen Ping felt that the Xie Xie Talisman in his arms was no longer intensely hot, so he relaxed.

'Phew, this evil spirit should be a level stronger than the evil spirit in red that I met at the foot of the Lingxiaozong ruins back then. '

This was the first time Chen Ping used the full-level Heaven's Punishment Thunder against Xie Chong.

The effect is not bad.

When repelling the evil spirit in red at the foot of Lingxiaozong Mountain, he used a lot of evil-killing talismans and spells, only to repel the evil spirit. Now this one is much more powerful judging from its evil spirit, but it was wiped out in just a few blows.

Knowing the power of Heaven's Punishment Thunder, Chen Ping felt more secure.

He took out a few evil-killing talismans again, replaced the talismans that had consumed their spiritual power just now, and stuck them in his arms.

Waited for a while before moving on.

This time, he never returned to the stone house just now.

'It seems that evil spirits caused me to lose myself. And because the underground palace itself is full of filth, the evil-killing talisman has been faintly feverish, which made me ignore it. '

...

One place in the underground palace.

A young Foundation Establishment cultivator sneaked vigilantly in the dark tunnel, his desire to survive made him extremely cautious.

He has just experienced the battle between monsters in the valley, and he knows how dangerous it is. Now that there is no senior Jindan by his side, he will die if he is not careful.

But at this moment, he saw densely packed words engraved on the wall of a tunnel, and he couldn't understand the meaning of those words. He walked forward along the stone wall, and saw a square stone painting carved on the wall.

In the picture scroll are three lifelike pictures of bathing sisters.

Realistic, skin seems to glow.

Under vigilance, the young monk took two steps back and subconsciously touched the evil-breaking talisman in his arms, and was relieved when he found that the evil-breaking talisman had not burned.

Can't help but look at the picture of leaving the bath again.

Suddenly, he found that the sisters in the painting blinked at him. He was shocked, and quickly shook his head, sensing that the evil-breaking talisman in his arms was not lit, so he looked at the stone painting again.

He swallowed, and he who had been very vigilant reached out to touch the stone painting by accident.

At this moment, the evil-breaking talisman in his arms ignited instantly, before he could exclaim in surprise, he saw the beautiful woman in the painting holding him with one hand.

In the next second, he was dragged into the painting.

There was no sound at all.

The entire tunnel was eerily quiet, as if the young monk had never appeared before.

...

the other side.

"Boom."

Chen Ping managed to kill a third-order snake demon, added a Qi Gathering Pill, and dragged the snake demon into the storage bag before continuing to sneak.

The space in the tunnel is narrow, and the cave has to be avoided from collapsing. It is not a good place to fight.

Avoid things like this if you can.

After Chen Ping walked out of the barrier made by the evil spirits, he gradually saw the traces of some monks walking by, and he could also see the slime of some monsters left on the ground or on the walls.

When continuing to walk in, I finally reached the end of this section of the tunnel and entered a cave.

In the cave, a group of monks were resting there.

Not just rest.

Among the six monks in total, two of them were tapping on the wall, looking for something.

The other two were sitting together discussing something with their heads bowed. Chen Ping learned from their whispered conversation that they seemed to want to explore the treasures here.

After thinking about it, Chen Ping decided to enter the cave to see if he could get any valuable information.

When these people saw Chen Ping entering the large and empty cave, they immediately stopped discussing and searching everywhere.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. It's great to see a companion coming. Are you alone, Fellow Daoist?" One of the Golden Core cultivators hurriedly got up to say hello, and then looked behind Chen Ping.

Among these monks, two are in the early stage of Golden Core, and the rest are Foundation Establishment.

"Yes, fellow daoists, did you find anything?" Chen Ping asked tentatively.

With the experience of being plotted against by simple and honest monks, he now has even more distrust of these similar monks who did not fully trust them.

Be vigilant at all times.

"..."

After chatting, I found out that these people don't know where this place is, and they are still in the process of exploring.

And the cave here is not an end, it seems to be just a resting point in the middle.

When he stood up and moved on, the Golden Core cultivator grinned:

"Fellow Daoist, there are many secret paths to travel this time. In order to find the key to get out of the Canglan Grassland as much as possible, how about we split up?"

It could be seen that they were also a little wary of Chen Ping.

As for whether it is really for convenience to find a way out of the Canglan grassland, it is hard to say. Chen Ping saw in their eyes the greed for the treasures of the underground palace.

One more person is one more dirty person.

Chen Ping could understand that the Canglan Grassland was already lacking in materials, and after being trapped for decades, it had long been extremely thirsty for various resources. Now that I have finally arrived at a site where various treasures may exist, if I can get a good resource, it will naturally be extremely worthwhile.

This is obviously much more cost-effective than going out for adventure occasionally when in the village.

"It's so good, it's really more conducive to finding a way." Chen Ping said immediately.

He can't wait to act separately.

Who knows if there are potential saboteurs among these few people, it is better to be careful in everything.

"Fellow Daoist." Jin Dan grinned.

Chen Ping smiled and didn't expose it, and didn't say much.

Such an underground palace, under the garrison of the withered old man for hundreds of years, probably has already set up traps, just like the evil spirits and monsters that Chen Ping encountered.

Even if there are treasures, most of them also have a crisis at the same time, which is a crisis that prevents monks from exploring the underground palace.

If you have a life to find it, you have to have a life to take it.

These Chen Ping knew that it was impossible for the two Golden Core monks to not know that none of the monks who could survive here was a fool.

They just don't want to let go of this opportunity.

It's useless to talk too much.
