Li Chuan was startled for a moment, then remembered something. He immediately found a relatively flat stone, took off the Sky Star Stone his father had given him from between his neck, placed it steadily on it, and observed it carefully.
The original Sky Star Stone was a solid piece like a silver ingot, but after being left there for a while, it quietly melted away like white tin.
It began to transform into a paste-like fluid like mercury slurry, with its edges extending outward like tentacles, taking on the form of branches or tree roots growing toward the sun and toward the water.
One end was pointing to Li Fan and Xue An who were standing not far away.
They also possess part of the flesh and blood of the Dark Gold Demonic Body, and the peculiar tissue transformed into the demonic limbs has the ability to interact with this Sky Star Stone.
And in the other direction where Li Fan and Xue An were not, it was obviously where Zhong Ke was.
Another individual with flesh and blood tissue of the dark gold demon body will not appear in this place for no reason.
"I finally reacted. If I hadn't brought something like this, the underground space here is so big, it would be really difficult to find the old clock."
Li Fan put away the Sky Star Stone, hung it around his neck again, then took out the map he carried with him, checked the direction with the cold light emitted by the derivative, and roughly confirmed that the other party should be in the lake area in Qianlong Abyss. deep.
The distance to go all the way from here is not short, and for ordinary people, it can be called a natural chasm.
After all, judging from the terrain that Li Fan and others saw, if the sole of their feet slipped off if they were not careful, they could fall to death.
In contrast to his initial performance in the Hujiazhuang Strange Territory, he couldn't even climb up a courtyard wall several feet high, making it even more difficult to pass through a place like this.
However, when Li Fan once again showed his extraordinary skills, the chasm immediately turned into a thoroughfare.
His body flexibility and agility are blessed by extraordinary abilities, and those smooth moss and nowhere-to-reach stones no longer pose a threat.
The silk thread control created by the pulling gloves can firmly support his body, allowing him to maintain balance in any adverse environment.
The all-round multi-perspectives brought about by the fusion of the True Eye allows it to maintain a third-party perspective, reflect the overall situation from a higher place, and always guide the direction of action with the broadest vision.
In some special areas that are difficult to navigate in rugged areas, Li Ao even used his treacherous domain ability to extend his sight.
The pair of Dharma Eyes still remained in his eye sockets, but they seemed to have a strange feeling of distorted perspective, causing his visible field of vision to increase hundreds or thousands of times, extending in a way that ordinary people could not understand.
In fact, this is just a simple application of space ability. Li Fan seems to be standing on the same spot, staring ahead. In fact, through the distortion of the mysterious realm, he is like a periscope, seeing heights and distances, and even beating around the bush. of.
This compensates to a certain extent for the narrowing of the field of vision caused by the eyeball being put back into the orbit, making it even more flexible and convenient.
The only thing Li Fan regrets at this moment is that his use of the mysterious realm has never reached the level of the masters in the department who specialize in developing this method.
If I could turn into a rainbow and escape as easily as You Huan and others, and walk through walls as a matter of routine, exploring such a place would be even easier.
At this moment, the two people suddenly stopped.
Because they discovered that not far ahead, on a flat land like a river beach, traces of smoke and fire suddenly appeared.
Someone once camped here.
"Could it be Zhong Ke?"
Li Kuan observed carefully and confirmed that there were no doubt traces of being burned by fire. Not far away, you could even see some dead wood that had been mostly used, which had been collected and used as firewood.
"It seems to have been a while."
Xue An looked at it for a while and said to Li Juan.
"When Zhong Ke was ordered to come here to explore, he was accompanied by several servants from the mansion. It would be possible if he stopped to boil water and rest on the way. They are not like us who can easily cross various terrains.
Maybe Zhong Ke can do it, but it’s not easy for other slaves..."
But at this moment, Li Ao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he looked to the other side.
The mountain walls there were stained with blood, showing signs of a battle.
In some places farther away, there are traces of drag and collision.
Not only one group of people had stayed here, but conflicts even broke out, breaking many stone pillars.
Li Chuan held the fluorite and looked at it for a while, followed the messy traces farther away, and found other clues as expected.
In the end, scattered cloth bags and rusty arrows stuck in the wall became the last remaining traces.
Li Ao was not very good at identifying traces and found nothing when looking at these. However, Xue An, who had experience in the military, recognized that these were most likely left behind by the servants in the mansion that Zhong Ke brought with him.
Because what was stuck on the stone wall was not an ordinary arrow, but a crossbow arrow. Moreover, it was a hand-held crossbow commonly used by Jin Yiwei Fanzi, which was not widely available in the market.
Unfortunately, it was too humid here, and it was difficult for Xue An to judge the specific time when those traces were left.
The two of them looked solemn and continued to move forward. Soon after, they crossed the river beach and unexpectedly found a person hanging on the stone wall in front of them.
That was a dead man who had been dead for a long time.
Because of the damp and dark underground, the flesh and blood on the other party's body had completely rotted and turned into bones. However, the clothes he wore and some of the items he carried with him were preserved.
Li Fan and Xue An took a closer look and realized that the other party was not hanging up. It was more like they had climbed up the high pillars on the stone wall that were eroded by the water. In the end, they stayed there forever due to lack of physical strength.
"He seemed to be avoiding something. It might be the river water pouring in, or it might be a crocodile or something else."
Xue An looked at it for a while and said to Li Juan.
At the same time, he also picked up the things scattered around and looked at them, but he made some discoveries.
"Little Marquis, he is a member of the Zhongzhou Branch of the Gu Heart Demon Sect!"
"The Demonic Gu Cult?"
Li Ao had some surprises.
"Why are they everywhere?"
But when he stepped forward and looked at the tokens scattered around the man, he had to believe that it was true.
"Actually, people from Gu Xin Demon Cult have been looking for Qianlong Yuan for many years. It is not surprising that the top leaders of Demon Cult are interested in a place like this where big demons have appeared and brought serious disasters to the court.
But even so, the people below are mostly just responding as a routine, and it is unlikely that they will fight to the death.
Unless, there is something special discovered here! "
