The emerald green crystal is only the size of an egg. If the two of them were just running away without paying attention, they would probably overlook the details.
But Zhan Chen has had a lot of experience in secret adventures, so he will not miss every detail, even if he is in danger.
But at first glance, there seems to be nothing unusual about the crystal.
"Let me try to send some star power to it." Zhan Chen said.
Although the secret realm suppressed their star power and abilities, it was still possible to mobilize a trace of star power in their bodies, otherwise Zhan Chen would not be able to summon the star weapon.
He poured a very limited amount of star power into the spar, and as expected, the spar began to glow faintly, and then turned into a one-horned animal skin map.
"This is the map. Could it be that the clues on the stone tablet are on it?" Hu Jimei looked excited.
"Yes, we finally have a clue!" Zhan Chen was also very excited.
"Look quickly, where is the central stone monument?"
Zhan Chen quickly started to search, but his face immediately turned ugly and he said: "There is no indication of the location of the stone tablet at all. I suspect that this map is just a part of the secret realm. Look at the swamp in it. There is a mark on it. I'm afraid it's
It refers to where we are now, in other words it only has a positioning function."
"Then what should we do?"
"If I guess correctly, Senior Demon God wants us to collect other parts of the map."
"But where are they?"
"We don't know about this. I only know that we have to move quickly. Maybe Li Sui and the others are also collecting maps."
"Then the map is still useless, isn't it?" Hu Jimei was slightly disappointed.
"No, with this corner of the map, at least we won't lose our way. You see there is an arrow on the map. I suspect that is the clue to the next map." Zhan Chen said.
Hu Jimei took the map and took a look. It was indeed the case. She smiled and said, "It's good to have a goal. It's better than wandering around in this vast secret realm."
"Time is running out. We must collect more maps immediately, because I don't rule out that Li Di and the others have also discovered the secrets about the maps."
Zhan Chen identified the direction and rushed towards the direction indicated by the arrow as fast as possible, while Hu Jimei behind him had no choice but to keep up with him. Although she didn't understand what happened yet, she naturally felt that,
Zhan Chen is always right no matter what decision he makes...
At the same time, in another area of the secret realm, Li Sui was playing with the two maps in his hand, and said: "Li Ya, the demon god is really boring. If we are asked to complete such a simple game, we will definitely win this game. I think
Just because Hu Yimei, a woman with big breasts and no brains, plus the low-level follower beside her, will not be our opponent."
Li Ya said with a stern face: "Li Sui, you are still too young. Don't underestimate any opponent. This kind of secret realm exploration depends not only on strength, but also on a bit of luck. As long as we are still in the secret realm, we must seize the time."
Collect maps and consider all possibilities."
Li Sui showed a smile and said: "Yes, Brother Li Ya is just careful, but our combination is much better than Hu Jimei and the others. Hu Jimei also has a dragster, so he will not be our opponent at all."
.”
"Having said that, we still have to act as soon as possible!"
"Okay, just listen to Brother Li Ya and let's set off towards the target indicated by the arrow."
The two of them checked and headed in the direction of Zhan Chen and the others.
But Zhan Chen and Hu Jimei didn't know this yet, and they couldn't care less about it, because as soon as they came out of the swamp, they were attacked by hordes of zombies, and the strength of these zombies was much stronger than before.
The encounter was of a higher level, and even Zhan Chen had to try his best.
Fortunately, Hu Yimei's combat power was still manageable, so Zhan Chen had no choice but to let her lead the way. It felt really uncomfortable to be weak.
"Zhan Chen, I saw that the strength of these corpses has improved a lot. Many of them have the strength of the black hole realm. Are there any stronger corpses? I almost can't support it anymore."
Hu Jimei has already begun to complain. Although she has the cultivation level of Xingxuan Realm, she can only rely on hand-to-hand combat. In the long run, she will definitely not be able to make ends meet physically, and the endless zombies can easily make people feel sad.
Breeding a feeling of despair.
Zhan Chen encouraged: "Keep going, otherwise we will be eliminated or even die in this secret realm."
At this time, he seemed to realize the demon god's intention. Perhaps this trial of the demon god was to test their willpower. Facing the endless sea of corpses, the winner would be the one who could persevere until the end.
Suddenly Hu Jimei called out: "Zhan Chen, I seem to see a building in front of me."
Zhan Chen was overjoyed and shouted: "Great, maybe the next map is there, let's go there quickly."
After getting the clue, they moved forward hard, fought their way through, and finally approached the building.
This is a palace that looks very gloomy on the outside. Its appearance is made entirely of bones. On the lintel hangs three large blood-red characters "Palace of Bones".
"Shall we go in?" Hu Jimei said hesitantly.
"Do we still have a choice? Because it shows that the next map is here." Zhan Chen asked.
So the two of them stepped into the Palace of Bones. The palace was pitch dark, with only a road paved with bones leading deep into the palace.
There was an aura of decay and a hint of crisis in the air, which made both of them energetic and move forward cautiously.
Suddenly, Zhan Chen turned around and was startled, shouting: "What's going on? Why is the entrance missing?"
Hu Jimei then looked back and shuddered, because what she saw was darkness at the end of the road, with no entrance.
"Could we be hallucinating something? This must be a deception." Hu Jimei shouted.
"But I didn't feel that I was disturbed by the illusion. Maybe this is the prohibitive influence of the Bone Palace itself."
"So how are we going to get out?"
"The only way is to move forward. I think if we complete the so-called trial, the way out will appear."
The two continued to move forward, and finally came to the end of the passage. A strong smell of blood assaulted their nostrils. What was revealed in front of them was a pool of blood, hundreds of meters in length and width. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine what was inside the Palace of Bones.
There is such a thing hidden.
There seemed to be an exit on the other side of the blood pool, but both Zhan Chen and Hu Yimei realized that it was not easy to get through here.
Because white bones gradually appeared in the blood-colored lake. These white bones were all crystal clear, as if they were puppets created by the master of weapon refinement. They also held weapons in their hands and swam towards Zhan Chen and Hu Jimei.
"It's really annoying. Dealing with corpses outside is still the same in this Bone Palace. Don't the demon god's clones have some new ideas?"
Hu Jimei complained as she stepped into the pool of blood. She who always paid attention to beauty no longer cared about much at this time.
She turned into a huge demon fox again and smashed all the bones into pieces. However, something strange happened immediately. The smashed bones gathered strangely in the blood pool and turned into hundreds of skeletons again.
These skeletons were much larger than the shrimp soldiers and crab generals just now, and were obviously more powerful. They continued to attack Hu Yimei.
After a fierce battle, Hu Jimei destroyed them again, but the bones gathered again and turned into dozens of more powerful bone giants.
Zhan Chen saw the clues on the side and shouted: "Ji Mei, simply knocking down these skeletons will have no effect, they will only become stronger and stronger."
"I already know, but these dozens of skeletons are really difficult to deal with!" Hu Jimei shouted with difficulty.
The strength of those dozens of white-bone giants has reached the level of a strong person in the One-Star Whirlpool Realm. In this special environment, even Hu Yimei was trapped in a hard struggle.
Zhan Chen shouted: "We can't defeat them anymore, otherwise they may form an existence that even you can't deal with."
"What should we do?"
"Let's retreat first and then find other ways out."
Zhan Chen turned his head as he spoke, but was surprised to find that the entrance had disappeared, which meant that they were trapped here unless they broke through the predicament in front of them.
"The entrance is sealed, which means we have to cross this blood pool." Zhan Chen immediately said again.
"But if we don't knock them down, we won't be able to get through."
Zhan Chen looked at the entrance to the other side and suddenly thought of a way, saying: "It's impossible for the two of us to go there at the same time. The way now is for us to cooperate with each other."
"Tell me, what should I do?"
"It's your responsibility to contain those bone giants. I'll take the opportunity to cross the blood pool and see what's behind the opposite exit."
"That's all."
Hu Yimei had no choice but to answer this. She knew very well that it was unrealistic for Zhan Chen to contain these guys. Moreover, the two of them had stayed together for a long time and had formed a certain tacit understanding without knowing it.
After formulating a strategy, Hu Jimei increased the intensity of her attack, trying her best to hold back the bone giants, and took the opportunity to pass through the blood pool and enter the opposite entrance.
However, what appeared in front of him was not an exit, but a sealed room with a valve in the center.
Zhan Chen looked at the valve and thought, "Is the exit related to the valve in front of me?"
He stepped forward and tried to turn the valve, and heard a loud sound of running water coming from outside.
Zhan Chen hurriedly walked out to take a look and saw that the blood in the blood pool was falling rapidly.
Seeing Zhan Chen coming out, Hu Jimei couldn't help but ask: "Zhan Chen, what's opposite the exit? Why did the blood in the blood pool start to drop?"
Zhan Chen replied: "There is a valve in the room, and this phenomenon occurred after I opened the valve."
At this time, Hu Jimei was still fighting fiercely with the huge skeleton. However, as the blood in the blood pool ebbed, the mystery below the blood pool also emerged. A door that only one person could pass through appeared at the bottom of the blood pool.
Hu Jimei's eyes lit up and she shouted: "Could that be the exit!" (To be continued)
