Xu Qing quickly looked around, felt behind him again, and then his eyes narrowed.

At the entrance behind him was a huge wall with thousands of masks and a similar number of mirrors placed on it.

These masks were all refined using special techniques after the death of the Tianmian tribe members, and the same was true for the mirrors.

The mask of the Tianmian clan that wanted to attack Xu Qing at the beginning was also among them.

"These two groups, in order to adapt to this place, have evolved many abilities from generation to generation. Using them to block the sea of ​​fire, combined with some special methods and the layout here, they can avoid the sky fire to a certain extent."

The old man spoke calmly, with some pride in his voice.

"The fire from the sky usually lasts for a hundred days. One thousand a day, and one hundred days equals two hundred thousand spiritual stones. Bring it."

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, glanced at the old man, and spoke seriously.

"One hundred days is one hundred thousand."

"A person has 100,000 yuan, and you have a snake, so isn't that 200,000 yuan?" The old man glared.

"I don't have that many spirit stones."

Xu Qing said truthfully, he had many spiritual tickets, but he didn't have many spiritual stones on his body, so he took out a magic weapon and put it aside.

"Cancel it with this."

The old man glanced at it, raised his hand to grab it, and nodded.

"That's fine."

After saying that, his eyes showed a cold light, his tone was also solemn, and he spoke slowly.

"Because you are a human being, I am helping you this time, but listen carefully, there are restricted areas outside this grotto. If you break in without permission... don't blame me for not caring about the human race!"

Xu Qing nodded when he heard this.

The old man gave Xu Qing a meaningful look, turned around and disappeared into the grotto.

Xu Qing's expression was as usual. After checking around, he determined that there was no obstruction here. He also saw that the statues were very old. There were no human beings inside, but dragons and snakes surrounding their bodies, revealing the killing intent.

Although they are all incomplete, looking at them as a whole, it seems that when the statues are complete, they are in a state of worship, and this place is cold and cold, more like a tomb.

"Is this originally a cemetery?"

Xu Qing was thoughtful and found a statue. When he sat down cross-legged, Ling'er emerged from his collar, looked around and spoke quietly.

"Brother Xu Qing, this place seems to be related to our ancient spirit tribe."

Xu Qing's heart moved and she looked at Ling'er.

Linger looked around carefully and whispered.

"Brother Xu Qing, those statues are indeed the gods of the Ancient Spirit Clan. We are snakes when we are young, and we transform into humans when we are adults. If we have strong blood, after we break through the shackles of our cultivation, we will be accompanied by celestial dragons. From then on, dragons and snakes will protect our bodies.

Invulnerable to all laws."

"Looking at the specifications here, it is the tomb of a certain ancestor of our clan."

"Generally speaking, our clan's tombs contain multiple layers. Brother Xu Qing, there should be a larger tomb below this. This is just the first layer."

"I can feel that the restrictions on the cemetery are still there. Brother Xu Qing, I should be able to open the entrance to the next level." Ling'er said happily, she felt that she could finally help brother Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked around carefully when he heard this, then touched Ling'er's head and said softly.

"There's no need to open it. Since the current owner doesn't want us to disturb him, we'll just wait here for the sky fire to end and then leave."

Xu Qing is a person who knows what's appropriate. Since the two parties are making a deal, he is willing to abide by the rules of the deal unless absolutely necessary.

Ling'er was thoughtful. She felt that Xu Qing's approach was different from her father's, so she remembered this matter and prepared to learn from it.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

The fire from the sky outside becomes more and more terrifying, burning the heaven and earth, destroying all things, and trembling all living beings.

Viewed from a distance, it looks like the wrath of gods, which is shocking.

The roaring sound was even louder than the sky thunder. The entire sea of ​​​​fire sank too much. Most of the magma inside was sucked into the sky, and the severed hand also disappeared.

In the mine, in the ancient tomb of the Ancient Spirit Clan, Xu Qing kept his promise and did not leave the grotto for even half a step. He was always practicing, and Duanmu Zang never appeared again. Everything was fine.

Ling'er was also very obedient and did not explore deeper. For her, as long as she was by Xu Qing's side, everything was extremely satisfying.

Only occasionally, she would feel a little useless.

"I also need to quickly digest the ancient spirit royal family's destiny power in my body and speed up my bloodline promotion." Ling'er thought so in his heart and was doing the same.

Xu Qing's practice here was interrupted by a visitor on the seventeenth day.

As the light of the formation shone on the ground of the grotto, a cautious figure quickly walked out from inside.

It's not Duanmu Zang, but a young human race wearing a blue shirt.

Xu Qing opened his eyes and recognized this person as the comatose person he rescued half a month ago. The person was still very weak at the moment, but he was no longer seriously injured.

Obviously, the armor was very useful, and Duanmu Zang was bound to treat this person.

It's just that the fire poison on his body is difficult to dispel, and many areas have been burned and withered, blood red, and the skin cannot regenerate, making it a bit ferocious.

When Xu Qing looked over, the human youth was full of anxiety. He quickly walked a few steps and knelt down to Xu Qing.

"Junior Shi Pan is back, thank you senior for saving your life!"

Xu Qing looked at the human youth and saw that his name was a bit strange, but he didn't ask any more questions and spoke calmly.

"It's nothing. Even if I don't take action, Senior Duanmu will save you."

The human youth was still worshiping. After kowtowing to Xu Qing three times, he stood up and looked at Xu Qing, speaking nervously.

"No matter what, it was the senior who came to the rescue, and the junior will remember this kindness in his heart."

As he spoke, he took out a food box from his arms and put it aside.

"The junior knows that the senior has a high level of cultivation, and the junior doesn't have anything valuable. These are some food made by my wife. Thank you senior!"

After the human youth finished speaking, he stood up, bowed to Xu Qing again, stepped back respectfully, returned to the formation, and disappeared.

Xu Qing looked at the food box. It contained some cooked pastries, which were fragrant and very delicate. It looked like they were carefully prepared.

With Xu Qing's poison knowledge, he could tell if it was poisonous after just one sniff. At this moment, he could detect it without any problem. He raised his hand to pick it up and saw that Ling'er was swallowing saliva, so he took a bite and verified it again before handing it to Ling'er.

piece.

Ling'er ate it in one bite and narrowed her eyes.

"Gulu gulu."

It obviously tasted good, so Ling'er couldn't help but make her voice sound like she was a child.

Seeing that Ling'er liked it, Xu Qing smiled and gave it to Ling'er.

Then close your eyes and continue meditating.

Time passed day by day, and in the following days, Shi Pangui came many times, each time bringing food with him, respectfully,

He hesitated to speak several times, but finally couldn't hold it back. With longing in his eyes, he asked Xu Qing about the human race in the outside world.

"Senior, I heard the old king said that you are from the outside world? What is our human race like outside?"

Shi Pangui looked nervous and full of expectations.

In his life, he could not leave the Moon Festival Territory, and his fate was destined from the moment he was born. However, when he was very young, the people around him told him about the glory of the human race and the power of the human race.

But what he saw in his eyes was that the human race was humble and the food of foreign races.

All kinds of misery, all kinds of sadness, all kinds of things made his heart shaken and confused.

In fact, whether he answers or not cannot change his current situation, but he wants an answer.

He wanted to know whether the human race outside was really as full of glory and beauty as the old people told him.

This will become his inner support and pride.

Xu Qing looked at the human youth in front of him and was silent for a few breaths.

His silence made the light in Shi Pangui's eyes slowly dim.

"The human race outside lives and works in peace and contentment, has a good life, and there are not many disputes. Everything is beautiful, and the Human Emperor of this generation is even more talented and strategic. He fought against the Black Sky Clan some time ago and won a great victory."

"As for the foreign races, they must bow their heads before our human race. They will either choose to become subordinates or become annihilated."

"And here in the Moon Sacrifice Territory, the Human Emperor is also concerned that everything is getting better."

A smile appeared on Xu Qing's face and she spoke relaxedly.

His words and his smile made Shi Pangui's eyes light up, his breathing quickened, and his heart was extremely excited.

"I knew it was so!"

"Zhou Wangbei was arguing with me yesterday, saying that the human race is extremely humble outside. I said that this is impossible. My human race has noble blood, and the Moon Sacrifice Territory is like this out of helplessness. And my race once unified the ancient world.

It will be brilliant outside!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Shi Pangui was excited. After bowing to Xu Qing, he left with excitement. He wanted to go back and tell his Taoist companions, family and friends about these things.
