Yang Zhen asked Hou Xian and Niu Youde respectively about the origin of the token and the map.
Hou Xian came from a killer organization, and these two things were secretly given to him by a foundation-building leader in the organization. The two of them had agreed that after entering the secret realm, what they obtained would be divided equally between them.
As for where this leader's token and map came from, it is unknown.
Niu Youde's experience is relatively simple. His ancestor was a casual cultivator who discovered the secret realm, so the token was passed down.
As for the map, one day more than three years ago, a strange monk suddenly came to him and told him that there was an opportunity to build a foundation in the secret realm, and described the approximate location.
He had a family map of his own. After finding the location of the canyon, he destroyed the original map.
I just didn't expect that Yang Zhen would recognize a small mark I casually made on my map.
Could it be that this fellow Daoist Chu was the middleman who had been contacting the casual cultivators all these years?
Yang Zhen was thoughtful.
…
Time passed little by little, and it was these four people who were always present, and it seemed that no one would come again.
Fellow Daoist Chu's face gradually showed some anxiety, and the smile that had been on his face had long since disappeared.
Finally, the time has come.
"Zhu..." Fellow Daoist Chu showed a remorseful expression.
The convener surnamed Zhu waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to say any more. This person looked up at the sky and decisively ordered:
"No wait, let's go!"
After saying that, he started to walk in the direction of Yang Zhen.
At this moment, two people were heard shouting: "Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
But they saw a man and a woman emerging from a patch of grass a hundred feet away.
The two men, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in gray and white cloth, looked like simple villagers. The woman is wearing a white shirt, has a round face, and looks a bit pretty.
Neither of these two people were wearing masks, but the decorations on their bodies were the same as when they met last time. It was obvious that after hearing Taoist friend Chu chatting, he realized that there was no point in covering up his face, so he took it off.
"Everyone is polite." The male monk smiled and apologized: "We came a little early and went to find a place to rest. I'm sorry."
"And I -" Before anyone could respond, another naked figure emerged from the deep pool under the waterfall.
This man was very tall and muscular. He was a rough man in his thirties. He said nonchalantly: "I, Mr. Liu, was the first to arrive and slept in the pool. Haha, it's comfortable!"
As he spoke, he took out the clothes from his storage bag and put them on without paying any attention to the two female cultivators beside him.
The four first comers all frowned slightly. It was obvious that these three people were playing tricks and had the same idea. First observe secretly, until the action is about to begin, then you have to show up.
"There should be eight of us. Who else is not here?" asked the last man to come.
"Cows are virtuous," replied Taoist friend Chu.
It seems that this person really has everyone's information.
"This man is very patient!" The man glanced around and said in a rather unkind tone.
"Let's go!" The convener had long been tired of these people's nagging. He waved his hand and walked towards the dense forest.
During this time, Yang Zhen had secretly moved about twenty feet to avoid a direct collision with these people. …
A group of seven people passed by him and walked deep into the dense forest.
Yang Zhen followed behind very carefully.
The distance he was following was almost seventy feet, and he was diagonally to the right of these people. In addition, he also used stealth techniques, so it was difficult for them to detect him.
A few people walked in a hurry, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, they had passed through the woods and arrived at the foot of a cliff.
The convener looked around and found a boulder. He gestured back and forth and finally stood somewhere on the cliff.
Immediately, the man took out a formation disk from his storage bag and began to activate the mana.
In order to see clearly, Yang Zhen quietly moved forward twenty feet, almost at the edge of the woods.
A ray of spiritual consciousness suddenly swept over his body. Fortunately, he had already cast [Deadwood Technique] at this moment, and the spiritual consciousness washed over him like a surge without stopping at all.
He was secretly relieved that he was not discovered.
At this time, a beam of light emitted from the formation disk and hit the bottom of the cliff, and a huge stone gate more than three feet high suddenly appeared.
It's almost the same as Zhao Lian's operation a few days ago.
The convener quickly pinched his fingers and fired out several spells. The stone door made a muffled sound and slid open to one side.
A deep cave was revealed.
The convener waved his hand, and the remaining six people filed in and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The stone door began to close slowly.
"Can you open the stone door?" Yang Zhen asked urgently.
"Okay!" It was Yiyi who answered him: "I have figured out how that person opened the door. I will teach you later."
"That's good." Yang Zhen felt relieved.
Otherwise, for the sake of the possible treasure in the cave, he had just been considering whether to risk being discovered by them and break in forcefully.
There's no rush now, at least I have to arrange it first.
What to arrange?
Of course it's a fantasy formation.
One person and one grass started to get busy under the cliff. Half a quarter of an hour later, a natural magic array was already deployed at the location of the stone gate.
"Would you like to add another layer?" Yang Zhen smiled.
"Okay!" the little thing replied simply and neatly.
She has not been idle in the research on formations in the past two years, and the superposition formation is the latest realization.
The so-called superimposed formation means adding one or more formations on the basis of the original formation.
This kind of increase is not simply one plus one, but to achieve a perfect fit. It not only needs to not interfere with the original formation, but also needs to echo each other during operation, making it several times more difficult to break the formation.
Another half-quarter of an hour later, the double-layer formation was completed.
A divine thought penetrated Yang Zhen's eyebrows.
Since the development of his spiritual consciousness, some complex information can be transmitted in this way, which is both fast and detailed.
Yang Zhen silently digested the contents of her spiritual thoughts.
After dozens of breaths, he started to pinch his fingers, the method was almost exactly the same as that of the convener just now.
The stone door opened again.
Yang Zhen listened for a moment, but there were no shouts or questions. It seemed that those people had gone far away.
Do you want to go in?
Now, his physical body is close to the middle stage of foundation building, the [Wind Shadow Stick] has been completed, and he still has a second-level defensive weapon on his body.
More importantly, there is Yiyi's hidden trump card.
Even if his identity is exposed and he is eventually besieged by those seven people, he will still have the confidence to protect himself.
What's more, he just planted an illusion array. As long as he can persist up to this point, he can block those people and keep himself safe.
Nothing to be afraid of!
He took a deep breath and stepped into the cave.
The cave winds forward and is so spacious that even a giant can walk freely in it.
giant?
Yang Zhen suddenly thought of the one-foot-tall purple-faced monkey king.
It dawned on him.
Third level demon monkey, this is the cave of the third level demon monkey! .
