The monks who were kidnapped watched this scene with their eyes wide open, looking at everything in disbelief.
They wanted to say something to condemn this behavior, but the intense life-and-death crisis made them shut up and unable to utter a single word.
"If you waste time by talking nonsense, you don't have to walk the rest of the way."
The leading Jindan monk casually killed the monks and then ingested their corpses.
He didn't even look back, his tone was calm and unruffled, as if he had just crushed a few disobedient ants to death.
The captured monks finally stopped acting like monsters. They realized that this place was far away from the city of monks, and the laws in the city could not control it at all. They all speeded up as quietly as chickens.
After traveling like this for a day, everyone arrived at a plain that looked very deserted.
Just when the monks were confused, several Jindan monks took action together and opened the barrier in a corner of the plain, revealing a hidden entrance to the underground palace.
The leader, the Golden Core cultivator, was the first to step into it. Although the others didn't know what was waiting for them underground, they could only bite the bullet and follow.
After Xu Chunniang stepped into the underground palace, she found that it was much larger than she had imagined, and there were more golden elixir monks in black robes in the underground palace, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
After the two groups of monks met, they discussed for a while and divided all the foundation-building monks into nine waves according to the plan, leading each to embark on different paths.
"True and false, false and true, so even if the evil-eyed beast wakes up unexpectedly, it will only think that we are performing a sacrificial ceremony."
"But since we don't usually provide so many sacrifices, will it be suspicious?"
"Maybe, so we'd better get out of here completely before it wakes up."
Others were a little dissatisfied with the answer, but this was an opportunity they had been waiting for for many years, and they were determined not to give up easily.
If they miss this time, maybe they won't be able to wait for the evil-eyed beast to fall asleep again until their life span is exhausted.
Xu Chunniang and the other two followed the old man in black robe and entered the intricate underground palace.
Except for two golden elixir monks in black robes, the other twelve people in the group were all foundation-building monks.
The two black-robed monks were very familiar with the underground palace, as if they had been there many times.
As we continue to go deeper into the underground palace, a sense of depression that goes deep into the soul arises, as if we have stepped into the realm of some powerful existence, which is unsettling.
The faces of the several monks who were kidnapped had expressions of uncertainty, and there was suppressed fear in their voices.
"Where are you taking us? This place...couldn't it be where that thing is?"
"What on earth do you want to do? Are you going to use us as sacrifices?"
They have stayed in the city for a long time, and naturally they know that there are high-level monks who have been offering sacrifices to the evil-eyed beast.
But those sacrifices are often those who violate the rules.
People like them who abide by the rules will never be caught and used as sacrifices.
"Haha, since you don't want to be a sacrifice, then just be obedient."
The old man in black robe gave those people a meaningful look, "Whether you can survive or not depends on your luck."
Several people's faces turned pale, remembering that the leader of the Golden Core cultivator had deliberately put away the bodies of those people after killing people.
At that time, they felt that the other party was unnecessary, but now they realized that those were sacrifices.
The sacrifices offered to the evil-eyed beasts do not matter whether they are dead or alive.
In other words, if they die, they will 100% become sacrifices.
On the contrary, if you can stay alive, you can win a glimmer of hope.
After understanding this, they finally became more serious. Who wants to die if they can live?
Seeing that the few people were completely at peace, the old man in black robe withdrew his gaze and continued to lead the way.
The group of people continued to go deeper and deeper in the narrow underground passage, until they entered a wide stone room, and the view suddenly opened up.
After stepping into the stone chamber, the feeling of oppression became stronger. Everyone knew that this place was one step closer to the true form of the evil-eyed beast.
They unconsciously moved lightly, for fear of disturbing it. Even the two Jindan monks did not dare to be careless.
After walking a certain distance in the stone chamber, a thick stone door blocked the way forward.
The old man in black robe took out a sacrifice from the storage ring, cut his finger without changing his expression, and used blood to draw talismans on the sacrifice.
As the last stroke fell, the sacrifice painted with blood symbols suddenly burst into flames without any wind.
In just a few breaths, the sacrifice burned completely, not even a trace of ashes remained.
The stone door in front of him slowly opened as if inspired by something.
The old man in black robe looked slightly relaxed and stepped into it first.
Behind the stone gate is a wider space, with wisps of black mist floating around from time to time.
"These are the God-eating fogs. They love to devour spiritual consciousness and soul. Do not touch them with your spiritual consciousness."
After the old man in black robe finished explaining, he took out a gourd and skillfully collected all the black mist.
Xu Chunniang and the four of them exchanged glances. The black mist looked exactly the same as the black mist outside the Rift Valley.
It's just that the reason why the God-Eating Mist exists in the Rift Valley is because there are many space cracks deep in the Rift Valley.
The God-Eating Fog appears here, does it mean there are also space cracks inside?
After thinking about this, several people couldn't help but become more cautious.
Others also recognized that the God-Eating Mist was the black mist in the Rift Valley, but they didn't know that the God-Eating Mist was a product of Tianwai Tianzhong, so they didn't take it too seriously after the initial accident.
"After stepping here, monsters will gradually appear. This place is too close to the body of the evil-eyed beast. In order to avoid being too powerful to attract its prying eyes, the two of us will not take action. Everything can only be done by yourself.
"
As soon as the black-robed old man finished speaking, several monster beasts hidden in the black mist roared and rushed towards the crowd.
Because of the reminder from the old man in black robes, and because the cultivation level of several monster beasts was not high, they were quickly killed together with all the foundation-building monks.
"Second level of foundation building? These monsters are nothing more than that."
The monk who spoke was at the third level of Foundation Establishment and was at the bottom of the crowd. He faced a monster on the second level of Foundation Establishment and easily won, but he was a little disapproving.
Such a singing monster is not worth making a fuss about.
However, he soon paid the price for his underestimation of the enemy. A late-stage foundation-building monster appeared silently beside him and easily tore off half of his body.
This monk who was in the late stage of foundation building killed two monks in succession, and was finally beheaded by Kong Huan's black sword.
The old man in black robe turned his head and glanced at the two dead monks, shaking his head in disgust.
"Pity."
He flicked his fingers slightly, and a few sparks popped out from his fingertips, landing on the two broken bodies.
He was so dead that his body was not fully intact, and he was not even qualified to be used as a sacrifice.
