The information obtained from the head of the leader of the Gao tribe is actually not particularly accurate. Only the road from the Gao tribe's residence to the so-called residence of the gods is fairly accurate.
Reluctantly, Jiang Yunqing had no choice but to lead a group of people to the residence of the Gao tribe first, without disturbing the Gao tribe, and instead headed to the so-called residence of the gods deep in the Dead Creek Forest.
Including the time wasted here, it took almost an hour. Jiang Yunqing and his party finally reached the depths of the Dead Creek Forest and saw the so-called residence of the gods.
It is a tall stone palace, made of neatly repaired boulders, giving it a majestic feel.
But now it looks deserted. Dark green moss and dark green vines cover the walls of the stone hall. There are no other living creatures except snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc. The thick layer of dust is slightly visible. In the humid environment, the lake is on the wall, giving this stone temple a very "heavy" sense of history.
Coupled with the surrounding environment, with dead trees crisscrossing the area and not a single leaf in sight, a feeling of desolation came over us.
"Why are there no people living here?"
Chi Meng looked at this desolate stone palace for a while, pouting and complaining.
"There are no traces of human life around here. There is a thick layer of dust at the door. Because the air is moist, it is easy to retain traces. However, except for some traces of snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling, there are no traces such as footprints. Very Apparently no one has been in or out of this door for a long time!”
Zhong Xiaokui looked around with a pair of red eyes, pointing out the observed details one by one, highlighting the human traces, which confirmed Chi Meng's complaints from the side.
"What does King Gu mean?"
Jiang Yunqing turned back to look in the direction of You Chuan, and his eyes fell on the Gu King behind him.
Although King Gu is still as skinny as before, his eyes are blank and lively. Although his body has not recovered, his mental state has improved a lot. The bloody runes on his face are still bright red and have not lost their luster.
Although the art of absorbing qi only concerns the body and does not involve the spirit, a person's body and spirit are an integral whole. If the body is warmed and nourished, the spirit will naturally improve.
King Gu thought for a while and replied in a deep voice: "Go in and take a look. She is equivalent to being imprisoned in the Dead Creek Forest. Maybe her movements are restricted here!"
Although he saw her at the entrance of the Dead Creek Forest, he didn't actually know the specific punishments and restrictions she received. Maybe it was just a special case that time, and maybe she was always imprisoned here. .
"Okay, let's go in and take a look!"
Jiang Yunqing nodded. Just now, he had used his spiritual consciousness to explore this desolate stone palace. There were traces of people living inside, and there were indeed people inside.
But who exactly? Man or woman?
Jiang Yunqing didn't know. Divine consciousness cannot make such precise distinctions. In terms of detection function, spiritual consciousness is somewhat similar to a modern infrared detector. It can accurately detect traces of living things regardless of obstacles, and can detect traces of living things according to their magnitude. The size can be used to infer the approximate size of the creature.
To be honest, to name it divine consciousness, Jiang Yunqing had seen more about cultivating immortals in his previous life and thought of this. To be precise, this should be an extension of perception. It is modeled on the lake, but in a sense it is precise.
Back to the topic, after Jiang Yunqing made his decision, the group stepped through the stone gate and entered the stone hall.
The light in the Dead Creek Forest itself is extremely limited. There are no lighting facilities or facilities to generate light sources in the stone temple. After entering the door and taking a few steps, you can't see your fingers.
"It's so dark, look at my guiding firefly!"
Chi Meng raised his hand and waved it in front of himself, then took off the gourd from his waist, opened it and poured it into his hand. After hanging the gourd back to his waist, he picked up the contents poured out of the gourd with both hands and put it in his mouth. He chanted the incantation carefully.
After a while, Chi Meng's chanting ended, and the light gradually lit up in her hand. Then a firefly flew up from her hand and slowly flew towards the interior of the stone palace.

Guide Flowing Firefly: A Gu insect specially used to lead the way. Its whole body emits fluorescence and is quite toxic. It will be poisoned if touched.
The light emitted by the guiding fireflies is much larger than that of ordinary fireflies, and the people present have good eyesight, so it is basically enough for this passage.
Compared to the forest outside, the stone palace seemed to be more vibrant. Two rows of green grass squeezed out from the stone gaps on both sides of the wall, like decorations for this passage.
The big furry spider on the cobweb in the corner attracted me and waited for the opportunity. On the wall, several millipedes with black carapace were crawling on their densely packed little legs under the induction of the tentacles above their heads. Several red scorpions were also hanging their tails. Flying over the walls, but they come in groups.
Ignoring these episodes, after walking for a while, a bright light different from the "taillights" of the guiding fireflies appeared in front of me. It was gray and somewhat similar to that in the woods outside.
"Squeak~squeak~"
Then there was a sound like branches shaking.
After walking for more than ten steps, we arrived at the exit of the passage. Compared to the dark passage, it was a moment of enlightenment.
This is a large stone room. In the center of the stone room, a towering tree rises from the ground, as if it has pierced the top of the stone room. Gray light scatters from the top of the stone room, and the main area illuminated is the big tree. Around him, other areas of the stone chamber were exposed to a little light, reaching the point where ordinary people could barely see after getting used to it. This was already quite friendly to Jiang Yunqing and others.
When there is light, the brightness of the "taillight" of the guiding firefly will gradually decrease. After flying out of the channel, it will be almost the same as an ordinary firefly.
Different from the stone brick floor in the passage, the ground in the stone room is made of soil, which makes the stone room full of vitality, with weeds growing everywhere. It is really extremely abundant.
"Squeak~squeak~"
The sound came from the big tree. A swing grew out of a branch that was as thick as an adult's forearm. The swing swayed gently, and the sound was caused by the rope rubbing against the branches.
The swing couldn't move on its own, something or someone must have touched it.
Judging from some of the living utensils in the stone room, someone should have touched the swing, or this person might even have been on the swing just now.
"careful!"
Zhong Xiaokui reminded in a low voice, and she came to You Chuan's side in a flash. Her left hand was quietly hidden behind her back, and the dark water silk poked out from her fingertips. In the dark environment, the dark water silk was even more concealed. As long as Anyone who dares to attack You Chuan and Gu King will immediately face a sneak attack from Ming Shui Silk.
ps: There will be more tonight.
