after one day.

The Lord's Mansion of Black City.

There is a secret room where a large number of jade slips and books are stored somewhere.

Su Xing knelt down, took out the last jade slip on the bookshelf, put it against his forehead and browsed the contents carefully.

After a while, Su Xing put the jade slips back on the bookshelf with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

In order to confirm whether what the city lord said is true or false, and at the same time, in order to solve the negative effects caused by the 'blood mushroom'.

After subduing the lord of the Black City by force, Su Xing spent a whole day reading all the documents and materials in the lord's palace.

But what disappointed him was that there were no relevant records about the unnameable creature 'spirit' in these documents.

The senior officials of the Black City Lord's Mansion really don't seem to know how to solve the pollution of the 'spirit'.

Through these documents, the only thing Su Xing can be sure of is that the city lord did not lie yesterday.

first.

The 'crystal mushrooms' outside the Black City and the 'flesh mushrooms' secretly cultivated by the heavenly beings do indeed come from deep underground.

Secondly, the reason why the heavenly beings come to the Black City is really to guard the secrets deep underground.

As for what secrets are hidden deep underground, there is no record in the documents, and no one in the entire Black City knows about it.

Forced into desperation, Su Xing decided to venture deeper into the underground to explore in order to solve the pollution of the 'spirit' as soon as possible.

According to rumors in the city.

Heading deeper underground from the Black City, the surrounding rocks will gradually turn scarlet.

Therefore, the deep underground is also called the "Scarlet Area" by the residents of Black City.

In the Black City, there are often some monks or celestial beings who venture to explore the depths of the earth out of curiosity about the secrets deep underground.

But without exception, these people never came back alive.

Over time, the 'Scarlet Zone' has become a restricted area recognized by everyone, and anyone who enters will die.

Although the 'Scarlet Zone' was extremely dangerous, Su Xing had no choice now.

As time went by, the whispers that kept echoing in his ears had an increasingly serious impact on Su Xing's mental state.

The whisper of the 'spirit' is triggered by the 'flesh mushroom' as a medium, and the 'flesh mushroom' spreads from deep underground.

Therefore, going deeper underground to find a solution is the only glimmer of hope that Su Xing can seize at the moment.

In the secret room.

Su Xing's entire body became translucent, and after sweeping away all the spiritual stones, talismans and other materials stored in the city lord's palace, he left the Black City.

When leaving, considering that he might return to the Black City at any time, Su Xing gave up the idea of ​​killing the city lord and the heavenly brothers.

He had to leave a way out for himself.

Su Xing wantonly plundered the property in the city lord's palace, which was not a big problem.

But if he takes action to kill other heavenly beings, the nature becomes completely different.

The former only caused the city lord's mansion to suffer some economic losses.

For the heavenly beings and foundation-building monks who are at the top of the Black City, these losses can be completely passed on to the lower-level monks and mortals.

They themselves will not be affected in any way.

But the problem of killing is bigger.

If Su Xing killed the city lord and the heavenly brothers, then the other heavenly beings in the black city would also have the same possibility of being killed.

This will make the heavenly beings lose their sense of security, and they will then work together to deal with Su Xing.

No matter how strong Su Xing is, he will never be able to fight against the heavenly beings in the entire Black City on his own...

Outside the gate of Black City.

After leaving the black city, Su Xing directly injected spiritual power into a 'spiritual light talisman' and stuck it on his chest to prevent the shadow monsters from attacking.

Using the light source emitted by the 'Spiritual Light Talisman', Su Xing explored deeper underground all the way.

As he went deeper and deeper, the light underground began to become darker and darker.

At the same time, the cave walls and rocks gradually glowed with a burst of scarlet light.

This means that Su Xing has gradually entered the 'scarlet zone'.

Different from the rumors in the black city, Su Xing walked deep underground for several hours and still did not see any ghosts or ghosts.

Not only that.

After walking near an underground river, Su Xing also discovered a huge mushroom community.

Those mushrooms can emit a faint light on their own. Each one is three to four meters high, and people come in and out from time to time. It is obvious that the mushrooms are used as houses.

Deep underground, not only are there not many weirdos, but there is also a village.

A village made of giant mushrooms.

In the village.

Seeing Su Xing standing outside and watching, a villager stepped forward and asked, "My friend, you must have escaped from the Black City too, right?"

Su Xing was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Is it possible that all the people in this village ran away from the Black City?"

"Yes."

The villager replied: "The people in our village couldn't survive in the black city, so they fled to live deep underground."

"Is it better to live in this village than in the Black City?"

"That's much better." The villager explained: "Our village is called 'Mushroom Village'. The people in the village live in glowing mushrooms, so the people in our village don't need to work hard every day.

Buy the 'Aura of Spirit'."

In Mora Heaven, high-level monks control mortals through housing and food, forcing them to work.

In the Black City, because there are a large number of edible 'crystal mushrooms' growing in the wild, mortals have no shortage of food at all.

Therefore, high-level monks and heavenly beings use "spiritual talismans" to control mortals and force them to work.

From a certain perspective, the Black City's 'spiritual light talisman' is equivalent to Moratian's daily necessities such as food and housing.

In this Mushroom Village, the villagers solved the light source problem with the help of the "Glowing Mushroom House", so they no longer need to work hard.

From this perspective, it makes sense that a village would develop deep underground.

In the Black City, monks and celestial beings are in the ruling class, so naturally they will not run into the "dangerous depths of the underground" without any trouble.

Mortals in the enslaved class, after risking their lives to escape to this mushroom village, will have sufficient food and light sources and will not return to the Black City.

As for those high-level officials in Black City who committed crimes or killed people, they also chose to stay here because they were afraid of punishment from above.

Therefore, the secret of Mushroom Village has never been known to the people of Black City.

Let’s take another 10,000 steps back.

Even if the secret of Mushroom Village really spreads in Black City, the Lord of Black City will use various means to completely block the news to prevent population loss.

As a result, there were rumors in the Black City that "no one can come back alive after entering the depths of the earth"...

This Mushroom Village is good, but there is one place that Su Xing can't quite understand.

In his understanding, light is also a form of energy, and the act of "glowing" actually consumes energy.

So Su Xing asked the villagers: "What are the growing conditions for these mushroom houses? They should also need fertilization or something like that?"

"Of course there are conditions for growth."

The villager replied: "Although these mushroom houses do not need to be watered or fertilized, the high priest who lives underground must come to charge the mushrooms every once in a while, otherwise the mushroom houses will no longer continue to shine."

"Who is the high priest?"

"The high priest is the high priest. He lives in a deeper place and basically comes to our village once a month."

There is no free lunch in this world.

After hearing what the villagers said, Su Xing took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then the high priest will help you charge the mushrooms. Is there any additional requirements?"

"It really does."

The villager hesitated for a moment and replied: "Every time the high priest comes, he will take away the people in our village who live less than a month."

"Then all the people in your village voluntarily followed the high priest?"

"That's natural." The villagers yearned: "Those who follow the high priest can fly to heaven after death and work in heaven."

Ascend to heaven...?

The villagers' words made Su Xing think of the spirit stone veins in Heicheng.

The high priest probably knows the secret about the 'blood mushroom'...

Thinking of this, Su Xing said to the villager: "Do you know where the high priest lives deep underground?"

In order to get more information from the villagers, while Su Xing was asking, he also took out precious materials such as flour cakes, dried meat, and 'spiritual light talismans' from the storage bag.
