"Now that we know their plan, we naturally can't let them succeed."
"Oh? Then you plan to..."
"Senior Sword Emperor, I plan to intercept or sabotage their actions in Yuanye Ancient Pit, but I can't let them get what they want anyway." Shi Jiu said, "The only problem is the evil spirit in Yuanye Ancient Pit."
"This is easy to handle. I will solve the problem of evil spirits." The Great Red Sword Emperor said briskly.
"That's no problem. We'll set off early tomorrow morning. Now I'll prepare for tomorrow's ride." After saying that, Shi Jiu left the room.
Early the next morning, Shi Jiu quietly came to the branch hall of Fire Fist Sect.
Half an hour later, a luxurious Red Sky carriage took off from the Fire Fist Gate branch hall and flew toward the northeast.
"Okay, Senior Sword Emperor, they've left, now it's time for us to set off." With that said, Shi Jiu pulled out a horse from behind and prepared to ride to Yuanye Ancient Pit.
Because he was worried that the other party would be discovered while riding the Chitian carriage, Shi Jiu bought a fine horse yesterday, and then bought a map, planning to go by land.
After exiting the city gate, go straight to the Yuanye Ancient Pit in the northeast of Yuanye City.
After an hour of rushing, Shi Jiu finally arrived at the outer area of Yuanye Ancient Pit, which was about ten miles away from Yuanye Ancient Pit.
At this time, Shi Jiu discovered that the environment ahead was completely different.
I saw that the road and area ahead were all bare sand or stones, without any trace of vegetation or living things. It was so desolate that it seemed as if it had been forgotten.
At the same time, Shi Jiu also noticed a special smell in the air, which made him feel very bad.
At this time, the horse under Shi Jiu began to become violent, neighing and digging at the ground with its four hooves.
"It seems that this breath must be evil spirit, and the horse has been affected."
Shi Jiu got off the horse and led him back while comforting him.
After leaving two miles away, I finally got rid of the influence of the evil spirit.
Shi Jiu tied his horse in a dense forest and walked to Yuanye Ancient Pit.
The further you go, the more evil spirit is contained in the air, and the more severe the impact on living beings.
Shi Jiu's will was strong enough that these evil spirits could not affect him, but the feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Along the way, Shi Jiu also discovered the long-weathered white bones on both sides. These people probably went to Yuan Ye Ancient Pit to hunt for treasures during their lifetime, and they were those who failed to resist the invasion of evil spirits and died here. At the same time, Shi Jiu also believed that in Yuan Dynasty, There must be many more in Yegukeng.
Ten minutes later, Shi Jiu arrived at the Yuanye Ancient Pit.
It was such a big pit, about a hundred meters wide. This was the first time Shi Jiu had seen such a big pit.
The huge pit tilted slightly outward. Shi Jiu stood at the pit and looked inside. He could see about a hundred meters away, and beyond that it was pitch black.
Shi Jiu was not in a hurry to go inside. Although he knew that Huo Meng and others should have entered the cave, he was not worried. Then he asked: "Senior Sword Emperor, the evil spirit here is already very heavy. Do you want to..."
Before Shi Jiu could finish speaking, the Great Red Sword Emperor interrupted him.
"Don't worry, I think you can still hold on and resist the influence of the evil spirit for the time being. Then hold on for a little longer, just so that the evil spirit here can temper your will." The Great Red Sword Emperor said.
"Oh? Evil energy can also temper one's will?" This was also the first time Shi Jiu had heard of it.
"Of course, in fact, many seemingly dangerous things often have a good side. It depends on how you view and use it. For example, some time ago, you used the ferocity of the blue crystal lin beast's dark core to exercise your will. A truth." The Great Red Sword Emperor gave an explanation,
"Then I understand." Shi Jiu nodded, and then remembered what he had done to temper his will some time ago. It was indeed the case.
The next second, Shi Jiu took out a torch, lit it, and then slowly walked forward along the wall of the pit.
Due to the influence of the evil spirit, the extension range of Shi Jiu's spiritual consciousness was greatly shortened, probably only less than ten meters. As the depth continued, the evil spirit in the pit became stronger and stronger, and its impact on Shi Jiu became more and more serious.
After walking forward for half an hour, Shi Jiu's head was covered with sweat. This was not caused by walking, but by Shi Jiu's constant resistance to evil spirits.
At a certain moment, Shi Jiu saw in a trance a group of people wearing different armors rushing towards him. Although they could not see their faces clearly, their scarlet eyes were filled with the aura of killing. Shi Jiu was shocked and subconsciously wanted to rush forward and kill all the other people.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Shi Jiu's mind.
"Wake up!"
The next moment, a bright light flashed in Shi Jiu's mind, and then he couldn't see anything anymore.
When Shi Jiu woke up, he was sitting on a pile of bones.
"Damn! What's going on?" Shi Jiu jumped up immediately and looked around nervously.
Fortunately, the Great Red Sword Emperor appeared and was beside him.
"You were just invaded by the evil spirit. Fortunately, I removed it in time and woke you up." The Great Red Sword Emperor on the side said.
"Thank you, senior, for coming to the rescue."
"The evil spirit here is very strong. Even a strong person in the central realm will be invaded by it and become mentally disturbed. You can persist until now, which is already very good." The Great Red Sword Emperor praised.
Hearing the praise from the Da Chi Sword Emperor, Shi Jiu was a little embarrassed. After all, he was still hit in the end.
At this time, Shi Jiu noticed a faint light emitting from his whole body, and immediately realized that this should be the method that the Great Red Sword Emperor said to prevent evil spirits from entering the body.
"My body-protecting vitality shield uses your crystals to provide energy. It will probably last for an hour at most. You have to find them as soon as possible." Da Chi Sword Emperor reminded.
"Yeah!" Shi Jiu nodded, and then continued walking towards the depths of the pit.
Ten minutes later, Shi Jiu stopped and blew out the torch.
Although he didn't see anyone, his spiritual consciousness detected a wave coming not far away. Shi Jiu knew that the people from the Fire Fist Sect should be not far ahead.
Then, Shi Jiu carefully advanced several hundred meters in the darkness relying on his spiritual consciousness, and then saw a light not far away.
After moving a hundred meters closer, Shi Jiu finally saw the figures in front of him through the light. There were seven people in total. Although it was a little blurry, Shi Jiu was sure that the figures in front of him were people from the Fire Fist Sect.
I saw four of them stirring something on the ground, while the other three were standing aside, waving to the four people in the field.
Obviously, the three people standing should be Huo Meng and the two elders Huo Zheng and Huo Ren, and the other four working people should be their subordinates.
"Senior Sword Emperor, what should we do next?" Shi Jiu asked softly.
"Lean as far forward as possible first, observe the specific situation, and then make a plan."
"Yeah" Shi Jiu responded and quietly leaned forward.
Soon, Shi Jiu found a protruding stone wall and leaned against it gently. This position just makes it possible to overlook the situation in front, and the actions of everyone in the Fire Fist Sect can be seen clearly.
"Wow! So many bones!" At this time, Shi Jiu was also shocked by the sight in front of him.
The huge field in front was covered with all kinds of skeletons, as well as all kinds of tattered armors and weapons, etc., as far as the eye could see.
These should all be caused by the war ten thousand years ago. Although Shi Jiu did not see it with his own eyes, it did not prevent him from imagining the cruelty and bloodshed of that war.
"These bones are not only human races, underworld beasts, but also other races." The voice of the Great Red Sword Emperor sounded softly in Shi Jiu's ears, but it gave off a heavy feeling.
"Little guy, how do you plan to sabotage their actions?" asked the Great Red Sword Emperor.
"Let's wait and see. If they really find the Shura Crystal, then we will grab it. If not, we will make some noise and disturb their minds. They won't be able to stay here for too long."
The evil spirit here is much stronger than outside the pit, and its impact on the mind is much greater. Although Shi Jiu's appearance is protected by the Great Red Sword Emperor, it is not 100% able to be removed. There is still a small amount of evil energy that has invaded his body. However, Shi Jiu's will is strong enough, and this small amount of evil energy cannot be given to him. cause impact.
Although the members of the Fire Fist Sect have Qingling Pill to protect their bodies, they will definitely not be able to hold on for long, so what Shi Jiu needs to do now is to wait patiently.
