After going through a lot of hardships, they worked together to kill many strange beasts, monsters, etc.
Si Yuan, Yan Lingji, and Li Yunmeng finally left the Spirit Snake Tribe. They spent a short period of time crossing a long distance of thousands of miles.
Relying on the inexplicable induction pull of Jiuli Contract.
Si Yuan controlled the Hell-Eating Sword and walked through the lush woods, finally arriving at a completely unknown mountain gorge area.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down.
However, the canyon cliffs are steep and steep, the clouds are misty, and there are only a few places on the hard rock walls where there are unknown weeds, trees and vines with extremely strong vitality.
And on some steep locations on the cliffs, there are many thick old vines hanging down.
Submerged into the depths of the pure white mist, it disappeared.
Birds chirped, soared and circled, and the sound echoed repeatedly through the valley, with a slightly desolate charm.
Moreover, Si Yuan also discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy here was not very good.
It can be considered barren and thin.
But compared with the outside world in the Age of Ending Dharma, it is at the level of the Cave Heaven Paradise. The environment is beautiful and outstanding, enough for many Qi practitioners to fight for their scalps.
"We still can't stay here for long, we have to find a way to leave the Demon-Sealing Tower."
"Otherwise they will have to worry..."
Si Yuan was in a heavy heart and remained calm on the surface.
He controlled the Hell-Eating Sword and escaped into the canyon, passing through layers of white clouds and mist. The further down he went, the dimmer the light became, giving him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu as he dived into a bottomless abyss.
…
…
I don't know how much time has passed.
The group of three finally arrived at the bottom of the deep and dark canyon.
"boom……!"
Suddenly, a mysterious light and shadow appeared from inside the cliff.
Then, there were cold glimmers of light appearing in many places such as the front and the back. In less than a breath, those glimmers of light turned into various eye shapes.
Observe through Si Yuan's own dark vision.
At this moment, the three of them were surrounded by a large number of strange creatures.
Some creatures look like snake-men, with scales on their bodies and pale green eyes, and some creatures have tiny thunder and lightning all over their bodies, just like the ancient thunder god coming to the world.
There are even some creatures that don't even have heads.
However, the body is round and round, with six legs under the abdomen and four wings on the back. It looks very strange.
"The familiar smell..."
In the darkness, a slightly older voice sounded.
These strange creatures did not rush towards them immediately, but instead took the initiative to make way for a passage. Immediately afterwards, a strong old man on crutches slowly walked over.
The long red hair on his head floated like a flame leaping and burning.
With a strange and extraordinary beauty.
The old man stared at Si Yuan, Li Yunmeng and Yan Lingji. Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be flames rising and dying, with an inexplicable burning feeling.
After scanning around, the old man finally focused on Si Yuan.
"Young people, where do you come from?"
Hear the strange words that are almost like spiritual transmission.
Si Yuan murmured in his heart, and then responded in Kyushu dialect, which he was not very proficient in: "The three of us came from thousands of miles away and came here unexpectedly."
"Half true and half false." The old man commented lightly, looking at Si Yuan, his eyes became softer and softer, and said: "I feel the Jiuli Contract in your body, and I am here to wait for your arrival."
"Huh?!" Si Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Why is this encounter so different from what he expected?
The old man seemed to turn a blind eye to this and was talking to himself.
"Every living creature here is a good son of the Jiuli tribe."
"They once belonged to different Jiuli tribes, some from the Manniu tribe, some from the Zhurong tribe, and some from the Xiangliu tribe."
"Most of the tribes that once existed are now dispersed. Some have even been completely destroyed."
"Those brave and fearless Jiuli warriors lived and died. The Jiuli warriors gathered around me now are only a very small number."
"And I was elected by them to become the leader here."
Hearing these words, Si Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Suddenly he asked aloud.
"What is the Jiuli contract in my body?"
"A special key." The old man who called himself "Ji" glanced at Si Yuan, then turned around and said slowly and unhurriedly: "Come with me, don't stay here anymore."
"Key?" This answer was somewhat beyond Si Yuan's expectations. After quickly looking around, he chased after him and continued to ask: "What kind of key is this?"
"If you can go to that place, you will understand it yourself." The old man seemed to have thought of something, shook his head slightly, and sighed helplessly: "But that place is even the most heavily defended place."
"For so many years, members of the Jiuli tribe have never come close."
"What exactly is that place? Can you explain it more clearly?" Si Yuan was puzzled and asked again.
Behind him, Yan Lingji and Li Yunmeng followed quietly.
Remain silent for the time being and pretend to be mute.
"You are too weak now. It is impossible to get there. It is better not to know." The old man stretched out his hand and gently beat his waist, panting slightly: "When you are strong enough, we will naturally tell you."
"In fact, every Jiuli warrior here can fight desperately for you."
"Help you open a passage to get there."
"But now, it's better that you don't know. You should think about how to improve yourself, the sooner the better."
While talking and communicating, they came near a deep cave.
The old man who led the way walked in first without any hesitation. Behind him, Si Yuan hesitated for a moment, then decisively followed with strode, and also entered.
Yan Lingji, Li Yunmeng and others followed closely behind.
The road was winding and twisting, always going downwards, and it took several hours to reach an unknown point deep underground before stopping.
They came to an underground cave.
Looking around, various large and small caves are interconnected and intricate, like an underground maze.
But it's not dark here, instead it looks very beautiful.
Many small luminous bugs are flying and clustering on the top of the cave, bringing little bits of blue fluorescence. In addition, there are some red, green, white and other crystal clusters in the corners of the ground, emitting different colors of fluorescence.
.
The entire underground cave is rendered beautifully.
Even in one of the passages, Si Yuan was keenly aware of the existence of the magma fire. The burning heat could still be clearly felt regardless of the distance.
"You can call me Jin, or you can call me Zhurong Qingyun."
The old man spoke calmly, stopped and sat near a bonfire.
Looking at the three young disciples who followed them in, he asked proactively: "So, what are your names? Which state from the outside world are you from?"
