Starting from the ultimate, the keeper behind the Nine Gates

Although the signal smoke looks close, it is actually still a long way away.

In order to arrive as soon as possible, they had no choice but to go deep into the dense forest.

There are many towering ancient trees that have been growing for hundreds of years. Their crowns are so high that they block out the sky and the sun. Their thick roots are exposed on the ground and intertwined with vines to form natural barriers.

But it also hinders the circulation of air, making the rotten smell more obvious.

The rotten leaves on the surface are full of water, which feels strange when you step on them. There are even leeches lurking in them.

But now everyone has no choice but to bravely travel through it.

After all, the duration of the signal smoke is limited, and they must race against time to reach the vicinity before the smoke dissipates.

"Hu-hu-"

Fatty Wang followed the team panting, sweat dripping down his temples.

He staggered and held on to the roots of the tree beside him, bending over and gasping for air.

"Hey...hey, I'll go..."

Upon seeing this, Wu Tianzhen quickly turned around and came back to pull him, "Fat man, hurry up! Follow him quickly!"

Fatty Wang waved his hands quickly and said breathlessly: "I can't do it anymore, you... you go first and don't worry about me!"

He is heavy and consumes a lot of oxygen, but the air is very thin in the forest.

Moreover, the soles of his feet were soft, and it was extremely laborious to run. If he continued like this, he felt like he was going to convulse.

It's just that the forest is dangerous, how could Wu Tianzhen leave him here alone.

So he dragged me around and urged, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"I've told you to lose weight a long time ago, but if you just listen, you won't be so tired!"

At first, Fatty Wang was a little uncooperative and refused as if he couldn't do anything anymore: "I really can't run anymore..."

But Wu Tianzhen didn't know his virtue, so he unleashed his trump card:

"I advise you to think carefully. Once we leave, without the protection of the Corpse Turtle King on Jiang Xing, the mosquitoes in the forest will suck your blood dry in minutes!"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Fatty Wang immediately became energetic and opened his eyes extremely wide.

"I suddenly feel like I can still hold on, let's go!"

He said and gritted his teeth and followed.

Fortunately, they rushed out of the dense forest before Fatty Wang died.

At this time, the red smoke in the sky had become much lighter.

Seeing Wu Tianzhen's heart tightening, she chased after him without stopping.

Fatty Wang, who had just taken a breath, couldn't help but stretched out his hand when he saw this, "Have a rest... rest a moment..."

But before he could finish speaking, the little brother had already grabbed the strap of his bag and continued on his way.

In fact, there is also Ah Ning who is not in very good condition either.

After all, she was still a little weak after walking around the Yama Hall.

But as Fatty Wang said before, she is indeed a cruel person.

Be cruel to others, but even more cruel to yourself.

Even though the color of her lips has turned a little white, she still hasn't fallen behind.

However, not long after walking, Jiang Xing suddenly realized that something was not right.

So he said: "Wait a minute!"

Hearing this, everyone stopped and looked at him in confusion.

Wu Tianzhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a heavy breath: "What's wrong, fourth child?"

Jiang Xing looked around, frowned slightly and said, "There's something wrong with these stones."

There were continuous stone mountains on both sides of where they were. Looking ahead, there was a fork in the road not far away, and there were the same passages on both sides.

Jiang Xing did not answer Wu Tianzhen's question immediately. He had some suspicions in his mind.

Then he took a quick run, jumped up from the stone wall in the middle of the fork in the road, grabbed a raised corner in the middle, and turned over neatly to stand on the top of the stone mountain in an instant.

The movements are done in one go, clean and neat!

He stood on it and had a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery, but at the same time his expression became a little ugly.

After his thoughts were confirmed, he didn't stay up there for too long before jumping down.

He said to Wu Tianzhen in a deep voice: "I saw that the passage ahead is separated by a rocky mountain just like here."

"These passages are as intricate as an ant's nest."

Hearing this, Piedan was immediately shocked, "Isn't that just like the Devil's City?!"

The shadow that the Devil City brought to him has not dissipated, and now it is happening again!

Pidan felt uncontrollably afraid.

Black Glasses also used the same method to go up and take a look, pinched his waist and shouted a little irritably: "There is no way around it!"

There is no end to the three-sided stone mountain at a glance. Unless they go back the same way before they go too far, they can still get out of this maze.

Otherwise, it might not be that easy to find other intersections to go out.

Wu Tianzhen looked at Jiang Xing subconsciously, "Can we still use the same method?"

Although he didn't say it clearly, Jiang Xing knew what he meant.

Shaking his head slightly, "You don't have the corresponding medium."

Ancient coins gather spirits, and A Ning's ten copper coins have been with her for many years. There is a bond between the object and its owner, so when the owner's thoughts are too strong, they will be reflected in the hexagrams.

It's just that Pi Dan and Wu Sanxing have different meanings to A Ning. This kind of inner reaction is very obvious.

Although Wu Tianzhen had strong ideas, he didn't have anything like ancient coins that could serve as a medium.

Seeing that the smoke was about to dissipate, Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but feel anxious.

These rocky mountains are at least five meters high, and it would take a long time to climb over them one by one.

Exploding them is even more unrealistic. They don't have that many explosives on them.

Jiang Xing observed these stone mountains, and it was obvious that there were traces of excavation.

Unlike Devil City, this place is more like a man-made barrier!

The construction of such a large project does not happen overnight.

There must be a pattern to follow!

At this moment, Jiang Xing suddenly remembered the prefix used when the Queen Mother of the West was mentioned in the system's mission - Descendants of Fuxi!

The fog suddenly opened!
