"It seems that someone deliberately lured us here?"

Ji Xueting touched his chin and sighed helplessly.

"If it's not right, I can find another way out—"

Tianqu then whispered behind him.

Now Ji Xueting felt a little headache when he heard Tianqu's words, and quickly waved his hands and said: "No, I think we'd better check this place out—anyway, it's all here."

Anyway, now that we are here, Ji Xueting has to explore this place carefully, even if he only considers his position as the God Lord of Yingshan Mountain.

Thinking of this, Ji Xueting casually walked down a step towards the underground palace in the distance.The more he walks like this, the more marvelous Ji Xueting feels. The cave is so wide that one even wonders if the entire Mount Ying has been hollowed out, and the steps built along the stone wall are a huge project. The floor is quite rough, each step is almost half the height of a person, and it is quite hard to climb up.Especially since the cave here is inside Mount Ying, the further you go down, the colder the surrounding area will be.

Not long after, Ji Xueting found that the steps he was stepping on had already been covered with a thick layer of frost.

Ji Xueting took a peek at Tianqu without any trace, and found that the fairy with a snake tail did not appear dull, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, although it looks like a snake...he is still a fairy after all, so he won't really feel sleepy when he's cold like a snake.

But Ji Xueting thought about it again, and couldn't help wondering who built the ruins here.After all, he is now a spiritual being, so he is not afraid of cold and heat, and the person behind him, although his spiritual power is limited, is still an immortal above the Xuanqiong, and it is normal not to be overwhelmed by the cold.

But if ordinary people built underground palaces here, it would really be like being in a freezing hell.

Why did they pay such a price to build this place?

With this doubt, Ji Xueting worked hard to climb down for an unknown amount of time before reaching the bottom of the cave. Looking at the underground palace, it was still far away.

Ji Xueting stood still and watched for a while.

"Axue..."

Tianqu's gaze stayed on Ji Xueting from the beginning to the end, and seeing that he was silent for a long time, he opened his mouth in a low voice as if asking.

"nothing."

Ji Xueting was reminded by Tianqu, and then he came back to his senses, and then smiled slightly.Only he himself knew that he was just fascinated. It was purely the underground ruins and the strange but gorgeous underground palace in the distance, which made him faintly feel a little inexplicable familiarity.

After walking forward like this for a while, several forked roads appeared in front of the two of them, which should be mazes deliberately set up by the people who built the ruins of the underground palace.

Tianqu Xianjun was silent, countless thought snakes were squirming in the shadows, and they were about to rush out in unison. They stepped forward and scattered to explore the way for Tianqu Shangxian.

Ji Xueting was slightly dazed, and then persuaded with a dry smile: "Don't be so troublesome, just go this way."

After finishing speaking, Ji Xueting turned around and walked straight towards one of the secret passages... It was indeed a safe journey, except for the shadows on both sides, it seemed that someone was spying on them, and the two of them did not encounter any twists and turns along the way.

"There are countless organs on the road on the left, and the one on the right should be the same - I don't know what's going on, Yingshan has a spirit, maybe the spirit told me just now."

Sensing that Tianqu seemed to be looking at him again, Ji Xueting said calmly without looking back.

After his words fell, there was the rustling sound of the snake wriggling in the shadows.Tianqu followed behind Ji Xueting without saying a word, but the aura around him became increasingly dim.

While walking, the shadows on both sides of the secret passage gradually became clear.

Under the faint light of Huozhezi, it looked terrifying.

One, two, three...

God knows how many corpses are arranged in a neat phalanx, wearing armor, standing stiffly on both sides of the secret passage.There are layers upon layers, mountains and plains, countless.Probably because the temperature was too low, the corpses that should have been turned into bones in the long run have been frozen into stone-like ice skeletons standing in place. Even today, the old appearance is still visible.

Ji Xueting glanced at them casually, and instantly understood why someone could build such an astonishing ruin, and why the steps and passages he had climbed before were so wide and rough.It is true that the "people" standing in the underground palace today are quite different from the people in this world——

These people are unusually tall, Ji Xueting is considered tall among ordinary people, but in front of them he is only chest-length.The faces are square and flat, but the eyebrows are more prominent than ordinary people. After the long years of ice, the skin of these people has become extremely dull, but the complicated and twisted tattoos are as gorgeous as before. Those scarlet lines spread from the ankles to the neck. Make them look more and more weird.

These people should be human sacrifices who were buried and died for the master of the underground palace?

Or, do you think that you can enter another world with the old master and imprison yourself here?

……

Ji Xueting thought carefully as he walked.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Tianqu, who had been guarding not far behind him with restraint, suddenly accelerated his speed and moved forward. The cold snake tail squirmed, and slowly coiled around his side like a guard.

"Tianqu Shangxian?"

Ji Xueting frowned, and after seeing Tianqu's suddenly extremely alert expression, he slowly drew out the Lingcang sword himself.

"Be careful with these people."

Tianqu carefully controlled his tail not to get too close to Ji Xueting, and whispered with downcast eyes.

After being reminded by Tianqu, Ji Xueting suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He turned his head, then raised an eyebrow.

——When they came, they were still motionless, and the corpses standing upright with weapons in their hands had slowly changed their movements behind the two of them.

Although they suddenly looked like they were still motionless like stone statues, their movements had already changed.

The corpses closest to them only had their backs slightly bent, but the corpses farther away from them had already knelt down silently, prostrating themselves.

"They...should be harmless."

Ji Xueting frowned slightly, then said softly.

"They have no good intentions either."

Tianqu looked deeply at those ancient and tall corpses with an unfathomable expression.

At this moment, as if he knew that Ji Xueting and Tianqu had discovered his small movements, the slow and silent corpses suddenly moved together, and the corpses that had died a long time ago turned their heads in unison. Hollow and dry eye sockets were aimed directly at Ji Xueting and Tianqu.

The dry and sunken lips opened, and the brittle flesh fell off, revealing the gray-white skull and teeth behind the lips.

"These corpses..."

What are these corpses trying to say?

Ji Xueting was waiting to take a closer look, when suddenly there was another earth shaking, countless gravels fell all at once, Ji Xueting only felt his waist tighten, and the familiar sense of restraint swept over again.

It was Tianqu who grabbed him with his tail again, and then galloped forward, avoiding the falling stones and countless corpse arms stretched out to the two of them.The long secret path seemed extremely short under the rush of the half-human, half-snake fairy, but within a few breaths, Ji Xueting and Tianqu reached the end of the secret path together.

"Boom—"

Another boulder fell.

Tianqu suddenly turned around and hugged Ji Xueting, and rolled into the underground palace together with him, narrowly avoiding the stone, preventing the two of them from falling under the stone together tragic end.

Fortunately, after the stone fell, the earthquake that caused the vibration stopped temporarily.

Tianqu hugged Ji Xueting tightly, and in the calm underground palace, he still did not let go.

It was as if he was afraid that once he let go of his hand, the person in his arms would disappear completely.

Ji Xueting was so strangled by Tianqu that he was almost out of breath, so he had to look up at him, but the latter was also looking down at Ji Xueting at this time, not knowing what the immortal was thinking, seeing his eyes clearly It was much clearer before, but the firm look in his eyes became even more frightening than before. There seemed to be a cluster of fire burning in those silver eyes, which burned Ji Xueting's face to the point of pain.

"Shangxian...Shangxian?"

Ji Xueting reminded.

"..."

As if it was extremely difficult, Tianqu slowly relaxed his arms a little bit, and Ji Xueting got up out of Tianqu's arms panting. Concerned about his posture, he finally suppressed his sigh and thanked Tianqu: "Thank you, Shangxian. Please trouble Shangxian to save my life again."

Tianqu maintained the previous posture of holding Ji Xueting, and said softly, "You're welcome."

After staying for a while, I heard him add in a low voice: "... I should have protected you."

"Oh, there is actually a lighting mechanism in this underground palace, which saves me the effort of lighting a fire book hahahaha."

Ji Xueting avoided the side, pointed to a mechanism in the underground palace and laughed dryly to divert the topic.

Indeed, compared with the dim and dark scene outside, the interior of this underground palace really does not need to worry about lighting.

Countless shark beads are inlaid everywhere in the underground palace, although it is not very bright, it can make people see everything around them clearly.

What is particularly noticeable is the complex murals depicted around the tall underground palace.

After a long period of time, these carefully painted murals have become as dim and gray as the corpses on both sides of the road before.

Ji Xueting originally wanted to avoid the embarrassing emotional dispute with Tianqu Xianjun, and deliberately pretended that he was attracted by the mural, but after looking at the mural for a few times, he was really attracted by the things depicted on the mural Lost my mind.

The main content of the mural is about some people, and a god.

Judging from the human figures covered in tattoos, it was obvious that these people depicted in the mural were the corpses standing on the side of the road before, and these people worshiped a god that Ji Xueting had never heard of.

The gods in the murals look like humans but not humans, like deer and not deer, with huge horns on their heads and deerskin robes on their bodies.

Ji Xueting looked at the appearance of the god, and a thought slipped through his mind, but that thought was like a fish swimming, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't catch it, so he had to continue watching.

Regardless of the real situation, anyway, according to the description on the mural, the deer head god should be very, very good to these tall aliens.

Moreover, Ji Xueting reckoned that these people should have lived in Mount Ying back then.

He squinted his eyes, looked at the abstract mountain shape on the screen, and thought in his heart.

Then he stepped forward step by step, and continued to look at the happy life of the people in Yingshan on the mural.

The sun and the moon are long, there is no disease and no disaster, the deer head god protects everyone, and everyone also enshrines the gods, no disease and no disaster, leisurely and contented...

But then, the painting style in the mural suddenly became weird, representing the black lines that appeared on the parallel lines of the ground, as if to say that there were cracks in the ground.

Immediately followed by dense, countless messy and chaotic spiral lines...

Looking at those black threads, Ji Xueting's vision suddenly blurred.

Vaguely, I felt those lines were wriggling in the mural.

Black smoke spewed out from the cracks, and the originally peaceful and peaceful world suddenly turned into a weird and weird hell.

All people, plants, and animals that came into contact with the black smoke turned into disgusting deformed monsters. They became puppets of the black mist, constantly gnawing and infecting everything in sight, like a pus. Constantly infecting this normal world.

The black mist is spreading...continuously.

Monsters are also constantly appearing...

countless……

"Ash!"

Suddenly, someone pulled Ji Xueting hard.

Ji Xueting shuddered, and suddenly came back to his senses, only to realize that he was caught in the tail by Tianqu again.

The author has something to say: Tianqu: ... It's not that I'm being rude, the main reason is that the tail itself is disobedient.

Ji Xueting: ...
