Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Behind the stone gate is a natural underground cave.

The terrain is extremely deep.

The cliffs extend upward on all sides, and at the bottom there is a deep pool with a small island in the water.

Those sacred trees...are planted around the lake.

"Yes, that's right, it's here."

Una also recognized this place.

A calm face was now filled with excitement.

When she first came here, she was still young and didn't understand anything. She just followed Ata step by step through the darkness. Occasionally, she would catch a glimpse of those strange stone statues, which would bring her endless fear.

But after many years, I returned here again.

Although he is still alone, his character is no longer the same as before.

Facing the jagged pool of water in the firelight.

She actually had an indescribable feeling.

In her eyes, Ata used to be omnipotent, but when she saw him last time, he had white hair and looked much older than the patriarch Wutu.

With his body.

Maybe that time more than ten years ago was the last time I came here.

After a moment's silence, Una collected her thoughts and reminded in a low voice.

"Shopkeeper Chen, those sacred trees are right by the lake, but you must be careful, there is something in the darkness guarding them all the time."

"thing?"

"Is it that kind of black snake?"

Hear this.

Everyone was confused.

"No."

She denied it again.

Yang Fang couldn't help but frown. With his night vision, although the darkness ahead was a little too quiet, he didn't notice any hidden danger.

"In the lake, in the cracks of the cliffs, and underground."

“Wherever you can see or cannot see, they are there.”

Una pointed to the depths of the darkness, as if she had thought of something, and her amber eyes revealed a bit of complexity and...fear.

"what exactly is it?"

"Miss Una, can you explain it more clearly? For example, is it a ghost, a demon, or an evil spirit?"

Seeing that she didn't answer the question.

The old foreigner, who had already put the two armored beasts into the bamboo basket and carried it on his back, stood up and asked with a strange look on his face.

Unfortunately, facing his doubts.

Una was silent for a moment, but shook her head.

"do not know."

"what?"

This answer obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even Kunlun and Partridge Whistle couldn't help but glance at her.

"Ata said that it was the breath of the devil... They float in the darkness. If you accidentally touch them, your skin will fester and you will die in great pain."

Una organized her words secretly.

It was a while before he spoke again.

"Floating in the darkness?"

Yang Fang keenly caught this key word, and his heart moved, "Is it evil spirit?"

Why are the dusty ancient tombs and coffins called Wujiao?

This is because the corpses have not been exposed to air for hundreds or thousands of years, and a large amount of toxic gases are produced during the decomposition process. People in the past did not understand this and called it evil gas.

Or it could be the aura of death.

In short, it is a being that can kill tomb robbers silently.

There are even tomb owners who don't want to be disturbed after death.

After death, a medicinal stone would be specially placed in the coffin, which would continue to ferment over hundreds of years, and while keeping the corpse from decaying, it would also condense countless poisonous gases.

Once the coffin is opened.

The poison of Wujiao can dissolve a person instantly.

"Unlikely?"

"I think there is a subtle atmosphere here, which means it is at least connected to the outside world."

The old foreigner stretched his hand through the door, felt it carefully, and shook his head.

"I don't think it's possible either."

He lowered his head and glanced at the whip in his hand.

As a Taoist magic weapon.

The Divine Whip has been with him for many years and is most sensitive to evil things.

But right now, the runes around it did not move. If it was really as Una said, it shouldn't be like this.

"Whether it is a god or a ghost, you can tell at a glance."

A few people were arguing.

Chen Yulou has already stepped into the door.

Invisible spiritual energy spread all over the body, like a protective shield.

Seeing this, Kunlun followed without hesitation.

In his heart, his duty is to protect the safety of the shopkeeper.

only……

Haven't taken a step yet.

Chen Yulou suddenly turned around, put out his hand and put it on his shoulder.

Seems random.

But Kunlun suddenly felt as if he was frozen in place, unable to move at all, and he suddenly became anxious.

"The shopkeeper..."

But Chen Yulou just shook his head and said, "Wait here."

While talking.

The whole person leaped out like a wisp of smoke. The stone wall of the cliff was covered with water mist and faintly covered with unknown moss. It was extremely slippery, but it did not pose any obstacle to him.

Carrying a lantern, strolling in the garden.

After a few ups and downs, the man had crossed the underground lake and landed on the island in the middle of the lake.

The island is about three to five meters square. It is not the black rock commonly seen along the way, but a rock with a similar color to the yellow sand.

In the middle, a dead tree broke out of the rock.

It is completely different from the poplar trees along the ancient riverbed of Peacock River when we came here.

From a distance, there was no visible branch, just a straight piece, like a long spear stuck in the rock.

It reflects a dark golden luster in the wind lamp.

The most amazing thing is.

Although it has been dead for many years, before I even got close, a strong green wood spiritual energy was already surging in.

Almost no furnace refining is required.

Then you can use it for your own benefit.

Feeling every inch of his body trembling, Chen Yulou's chest suddenly began to beat wildly, a rare sound.

It is worthy of being one of the three sacred trees in the world.

It's just a piece of dead wood, but the spiritual energy contained in it is so rich that it gives me the feeling of facing Zhixian that day.

But the more this happened, the more he dared not to be too casual.

In the original book, there is not much danger by the lake.

This is in stark conflict with what Una said.

But there were several decades between the two.

When Hu Bayi and others entered this place, the ancient city of Jingjue had already been looted several times. It was unknown how many times it had been robbed by sand bandits and foreign treasure-stealing teams that accidentally entered this place.

It is this great uncertainty.

He would choose to go in alone.

Taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Chen Yulou walked carefully over the rugged rocks below him.

That sacred tree is at least three or four meters tall.

It looks like the whole plant was moved here by someone. There are obvious traces of drilling on the rock. Perhaps it was some kind of religious ritual that caused this.

The closer.

The spiritual energy spreads out like a waterfall or a mountain spring.

Even though there was an invisible air shield between them, he felt as if his whole body was unobstructed.

"nice one!"

That day, according to the agreement between him and Una.

She can take all the sacred trees.

Now at a glance, the number of Kunlun sacred trees planted by the lake is unimaginable.

Who could have imagined.

The sacred tree, which even Emperor Qin Shi Huang had difficulty finding a piece of, is so rare and common here.

Even if she took away all the rest, the one in front of him alone would be enough to bring his Aoki True Body to a higher level.

Maybe it will be possible to condense the Qingmu Yuantai.

Think of this.

Chen Yulou had no time to hesitate. He subconsciously reached out his hand and activated the Qingmu Changsheng Gong to try to absorb the spiritual energy.

only……

The palm has not yet touched the tree trunk.

Countless black and golden lights suddenly poured out from the sacred tree.

It falls like golden sand.

He looked intently, and those 'golden sands' were clearly tiny, strange insects that were madly moving towards him.

"Golden Mayfly?!"
