After a stick of incense passed, the bloody man regained consciousness and said intermittently: "Ahem, you, are you a disciple of Bai Zongshan, or a member of the three sects of Dingbei and Dingbei?"
Every time he opened his mouth, he would cough up blood, which was very scary.
"I am a disciple of Zhou Tianzong. Who are you?" Zhou Yang frowned.
"I, I am Qinglongmen, a disciple of Qinglongmen, Ke, Keshan." The bloody man said a few words and then began to breathe rapidly.
"Qinglongmen, Keshan?" The Qinglongmen disciples were the first to enter the secret realm. Except for Gangyi and a few people to meet them, the others should have entered the mountain early.
"Keshan, what happened?" Zhou Yang asked urgently.
"I, I was first attacked by disciples of Guyin Villa, and then skinned by demons..."
"Devil! What devil?" Zhou Yang asked.
"That's right, that's the one just now..."
"Which one, that wailing sound? What is that?" Zhou Yang was shocked.
"That's it!"
"What is it?"
"No, I don't know. I was already injured, but that thing suddenly appeared, blinded my eyes, and then sucked away all my essence, and... .." At the end, Keshan's voice began to tremble, and then it sounded like a mosquito, making it difficult to hear clearly.
"Is it a human or an animal?" Zhou Yang said loudly.
"It doesn't look like, it doesn't look like a human being." Keshan paused for a while before continuing weakly.
"Where is the monster? What does it look like?"
"It, it's a fucking perverted thing! It sucked away my essence, not counting my essence, and it also used its sharp claws to peel off my skin bit by bit! It, it's a devil, a devil !" Keshan suddenly became ferocious, his voice became louder, he was out of control and hysterical.
Zhou Yang was startled and looked at Keshan as if he wanted to eat people. At the same time, his heart tightened. This demon sucks real energy and likes to skin people. It is so perverted. What kind of monster is it?
"How strong is it?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Excellent, comparable to Tian Yuan, an early stage master." Keshan's voice suddenly became weak.
"Hiss..." Zhou Yang took a breath and looked around warily, fearing that the thing would come back again.
He felt very strange. If that thing was comparable to a Tianyuan master, and this was its territory, why didn't it attack him? Could it be that after sucking Keshan’s essence, he would be full?
"You, you have to be careful! This guy seems, doesn't seem to like the light." Keshan was so angry that he couldn't hold on much longer.
"I don't like the light! Do you only come out at night, or when it's cloudy?"
"It should, it should be."
"Did you find anyone else?" Zhou Yang continued to ask.
"No, no. I've only seen that disciple at Guyin Villa."
"How do you feel now?"
"I can't live anymore. Before I die, please tell me one thing. If you see me, my fortified senior brother, please tell me something." Keshan's voice was weak. Not audible.
"You said you would tell me if you saw me." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Netherworld Fire, Yufeng Cave."
"Netherworld Fire, Yufeng Cave! That's it?"
"Yes..." Keshan's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was very difficult to say every word.
"I took note of it. You..."
"Ahem! Bury me here!" Keshan coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"Oh, I promise you."
"M-Thank you very much. I, I have nothing to repay you, so I will tell you in one sentence. Be careful, be careful of Long Tengyun from Guyin Villa! He is very strong, and he has a grudge against Zhou Tianzong. Before entering the secret realm, Zeng, Zeng threatened to kill all Zhou, Zhou Tianzong disciples who entered the secret realm. Be careful, little..." Keshan had run out of gas and his consciousness began to blur.
"Long Tengyun, Guyin Villa!" Zhou Yang secretly wrote down this person.
After a few breaths, Keshan was exhausted and died.
Zhou Yang sighed, found a fairly good piece of grass, dug a grave, buried Keshan in it, and left a wooden tablet with five big characters written on it: Qinglongmen Keshan.
Even if Keshan didn't tell Long Tengyun, he would still bury him. Qingyun Sect has a very good relationship with Zhou Tianzong. His senior brother Gangyi even took the initiative to join the disciples of Dingbei Sansect after breaking up. He has to repay this relationship.
The rain stopped, and Zhou Yang looked at Keshan's tombstone in silence for a long time.
There are dangers everywhere in this secret place. Keshan was the first dead person he found. Maybe someone else died at this time.
The giant python he encountered before, the flying insects, and this unknown creature that loved to suck the essence of cultivators and like to peel off their skins, any of them would end in a narrow escape.
"I didn't get the so-called benefits, but suffered repeated disasters first. Is this the opportunity in Ye Chongshan Pass?" Zhou Yang felt a little depressed and slapped the big tree heavily.
"Where there is no danger, there will be no opportunity. The more dangerous it is, the more good things are waiting for me!" After a brief depression, Zhou Yang immediately woke up and regained his confidence.
Smooth cultivation does not exist for him. Even if it did, he would not choose that path and embark on the path of cultivation. There is only fighting for crossing, only fighting for victory, and only fighting for life. There is no other way.
Zhou Yang looked at the forest in front of him, and without any hesitation, he plunged in.
At the same time, in the Anping River, which was unknown many thousands of miles away, the giant magic circle at the bottom of the river trembled slightly. The disciples of various sects guarding the magic circle were also keenly aware of this abnormality, and hurriedly approached to investigate carefully.
After the fluctuation, the magic circle returned to its original state.
The disciples who stayed behind were very confused. This could not be an illusion, because many people rushed over. It would be okay if one or two people had an illusion, but if so many people noticed something, it must have changed.
They waited nervously at the edge of the magic circle for a few more days, and that kind of fluctuation occurred again.
This time, more people noticed it and crushed the transmission notes in their hands to send messages to their respective sects.
"It's really weird that the magic circle itself is making some noise! So many magicians of the magic circle have been trying to figure it out for months with no results, so how could it cause fluctuations on its own?" Inside the headquarters of Anping Tongzhou Commercial Bank, Ming Shikai, the chief security officer, frowned.
"According to the formation master in Suiling City, it is an ancient serial formation, also called a compound formation. It is composed of countless large and small formations. Even the formation master is extremely difficult to crack. And he also said , that formation is stronger than the Suiling City Protection Formation.
Some people even say that even the largest city in Hezhou, the city defense formation of Xingxu City, is far less complex than this formation. Everyone must know that the city defense formation of Xingxu City was set up by masters of the God Control Realm! Ma Xingkong, the general manager of the transmission of power, said solemnly.
"Manager Ma, you have quite a lot of experience in the formation of the formation, and you have just investigated it. From your perspective, there is something strange happening in the formation at the bottom of the Anping River. Why?" Qing Xuzi, who was sitting in the middle, said.
"The great shopkeeper is making things difficult for his subordinates! Even the formation masters sent by Sui Lingcheng can't see through it. How can my subordinates understand the formation with their meager attainments. But..."
"But what?" Qing Xuzi raised his eyebrows.
"Didn't the Formation Master of the Merchant Alliance say that Grandmaster Tongxuan of our Merchant Alliance headquarters had predicted this, saying that there will be great changes in the Anping River within ten years? Is this change a precursor to the great changes? !" Ma Xingkong replied.
"Oh, you're saying that the fluctuations of the magic circle will become more and more violent, and it will eventually be opened within ten years?" Qing Xuzi murmured as if he had some understanding.
"It is possible that the fluctuations in the formation are still very slight at present, but according to reports from the disciples who stayed behind, such fluctuations will occur every half a month. Therefore, according to my subordinates' guess, the intervals between such fluctuations will become shorter and shorter, and the movements will become shorter and shorter. It will get bigger and bigger. If Grandmaster Tongxuan's guess is correct, it is very likely that it will be opened within ten years." Ma Xingkong affirmed.
"We still have to wait ten years!" Qing Xuzi frowned.
"Maybe it won't take ten years." Ma Xingkong thought for a while and said.
"Why did Mr. Ma say this?" Qing Xuzi was startled.
"That kind of fluctuation will affect the solidity of the formation. When the fluctuations become more severe, the chain formation will definitely loosen. When the formation is intact, the masters of Suiling City have nothing to do, but if the formation becomes loose, …”
"Oh, that's it! Manager Shi, please report this to the Merchant Alliance as soon as possible." Upon hearing this, Qing Xuzi thought for a moment and then immediately ordered Shi Zhonghao, the manager of foreign affairs.
"I'll take care of it now." Shi Zhonghao took the order and left.
In the secret realm.
Zhou Yang walked carefully through the forest. At this time, his consciousness was fully opened and he did not dare to be careless at all.
Under the towering giant trees, there are strange flowers and plants that cannot be named, some are bright, some are restrained, and some flowers and plants seem to move in response to the sound.
A few small beasts appeared in the grass from time to time, but there was no danger along the way.
"Ouch..." Suddenly, the howling sound of monster beasts was heard in the distance, and it seemed that there were more than one beast.
Zhou Yang hurriedly stopped, holding the Red God in his hand to be on full alert, while at the same time releasing his consciousness forward to the maximum extent.
His consciousness passed through the big trees and weeds, and finally found something dozens of feet away. It was a large monster beast, being besieged by four slightly smaller beasts.
"This!" Zhou Yang was startled when his consciousness reached it. He was not surprised by the melee between monster beasts, but found that the large monster beast being besieged looked familiar.
His memory is super strong, and he suddenly remembered why he was familiar with it. Isn't it the giant monster in Cang Beast Mountain?
However, the aura exuded by this beast was only the fifth level, which was far from the monster beast that almost killed him.
The giant in Cangshou Mountain is at least a fifth-level high-level one, and maybe even a sixth-level one.
Although the one in front of me is not of high grade, it is not small in size, just slightly worse than the one in Cang Beast Mountain.
