Tick ​​tock…

A drop of water dripped from the stalactite and sprinkled into the pool below, creating ripples in circles.

Next to the pool, a well-proportioned man stood there. He raised his head and looked at the dense series of stalactites above, looking at the rapid accumulation of stalactites, and then looked back at the pool.

"It's almost time."

"The shock just now was probably because the door opened again."

The man smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a gust of wind hung out of thin air in the space, blowing away the flowing air and causing another ripple to appear in the rippling pool.

He took a step and took another step closer to the pool.

His body is very well-proportioned. Even if you don't see his face, just standing here and just his back gives you a comfortable and natural feeling.

It was as if his whole body and every part of his body were in perfect harmony, as if every part of his body was in golden proportion and golden section.

It's as if he is the spokesperson of beauty.

"Hurry up..."

A crisp and pleasant voice came from his mouth: "Contemporary leader of the mountains and seas, please hurry up. I have been waiting for this day for many years."

"I have cleared the road ahead. I hope you won't disappoint me."

After saying this, he looked at the pool, smiled, and sat on the stone again.

Close your eyes and feel like an old monk in meditation.

And looking out from around him, a hundred meters away, bones and corpses were spreading outward one after another, and many of them were piled directly here to form mountain peaks.

Outside the mountain peak, there are many huge geckos and apes and cranes huddled in the corner, carefully looking at the direction of the pool from time to time.

Occasionally, his body would tremble, and he would immediately retreat tens of meters outside.

It seemed as if there was something extremely terrifying inside.

Around these monsters, tall frozen giants stood on the edge. Their expressions were extremely vivid, as if they could come back to life if they smashed the ice outside.

But even animals and insects that are quite sensitive to life have no fear of these ice sculptures.

Even some small beasts will get close to the ice sculptures after being frightened, as if they can get some comfort and vitality from it.

"How pitiful...the overlords of the previous era." The man next to the pool suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the ice sculptures.

"One careless move and everything will be lost."

"After Jedi Tiantong, no...after the Battle of Zhuolu performed by Xuanyuan and Chi You, the outcome of these overlords has been finalized."

"Jedi Tiantong drove the final nail."

There was a hint of sigh in his words, and then he changed the topic: "But I would like to thank you more."

"Without you, I wouldn't be where I am now."

"Let you witness my journey to immortality here."

………………………………

The steps forward did not stop, and the road was unexpectedly smooth. After experiencing the rampage of the gecko group, Jiang Xian and others only encountered a few sporadic monsters.

They are just some monsters that are not very powerful.

Faced with their firepower and strength, those monsters were just serving food and were killed in a few hits.

But whether it was Ling Xiaozi, Qin Yue or others, instead of letting go, their hearts became tighter and tighter, and they became more cautious.

"Mr. Jiang, there are also fresh blood stains here." A scout pointed to a location ten meters away and said, "Including here, we have found more than fifty fresh blood stains in this area."

"Not only that, but there are also more and more signs of fighting."

After saying this, he paused: "It shouldn't be counted as signs of a fight...it should be said to be traces of an escape while being hunted."

"It's all one-sided slaughter."

Jiang Xian nodded and looked around, with a hint of caution in his eyes.

Although they had guessed that the opponent was very strong, their current performance could be said to be too strong.

The traces of firearms around him were very faint, indicating that the other party did not use the gun much.

Just relying on your own strength and some treasures, you can expel and kill some of the monsters here...

Some reminders from Master Zhang appeared in Jiang Xian's mind, including those cautious words, and he couldn't help but raise his opponent's strength to a higher level.

"The other party has no cover." Ling Xiaozi touched his chin at the side and said: "He has arrived without any cover up. Even because of his actions, our progress has become a little easier."

Qin Yue on the side nodded: "He is very confident, even arrogant. According to what Mr. Jiang said before, I have reason to believe that the other party is making an invitation."

"Invite us to come quickly."

Jiang Xian nodded, with a smile on his face and said: "Since he invites you so kindly, we can't let him down."

"Let's go, I'm also looking forward to meeting the people behind the Immortality Society."

Seeing this smile, Shopkeeper Dong and Shopkeeper Bei felt relieved, and all the previous worries dissipated and turned into confidence again.

They looked at Qin Yue and others who were fully armed, and their confidence became stronger.

Most of the road ahead has been cleared, and the route on the map is firmly recorded in my mind.

The walking of Jiang Xian and his party became extremely easy. Although they saw a lot of bones on the road, and there were even occasional attacks by monsters such as insect swarms and giant geckos, they were all easily resolved.

They crossed rivers, passed through caves, and crossed meadows...

Keep walking down the passage.

The further down you go, the more messy and broken places there are. The walls and floors that were built are full of signs of being smashed and smashed.

In these messy scenes, a lot of crushed flesh and blood were scattered inside.

Jiang Xian's long black hair also opened here for the first time.

"With less than a thousand meters to go, we can reach the next node. It's much easier than I thought." Jiang Xian turned his head and looked at a few people and said: "You have all seen the traces along the way. The degree of danger

It should be evaluated."

Qin Yue and others nodded: "We are ready and can deal with even more dangerous environments."

As he spoke, the infrared night vision device on his face flashed.

Everyone in the rear was fully armed, with gas masks, night vision goggles, and firearms all arranged.

Jiang Xian did not feel relaxed, he just nodded and walked forward first.

The downward entrance was a huge hole thirty to forty meters wide. With a roaring sound, flames lit up in the darkness.

A long green dragon winds its way forward, leading directly under the Nine Lands.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became tense. From the moment they entered this place, apart from the place in front of the door, this was the only place where the fire lit up.

Jiang Xian was the first to walk on the winding ladder. As soon as he took five or six steps, his figure suddenly froze.

Lin Ruoxue next to him turned around at the same time as him, and immediately looked at the people behind him.

Qin Yue Yanxing, Kong Yan and other special force members, the only two remaining shopkeepers of the knife dealer, saw their expressions change and quickly looked around with vigilance.

"Didn't you hear that just now?"

Jiang Xian looked at their movements and said in a deep voice.

Qin Yue looked at the people next to him and shook his head. The two shopkeepers also shook their heads. Ling Xiaozi next to him said thoughtfully: "The sound... I did hear a very subtle sound."

"Like, footsteps."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's spirits instantly became tense.

Jiang Xian and the other three dispersed in a tacit understanding, arriving at the front, middle and back of the team, and then continued to move forward.

One step, two steps, three steps...

That slight sound did not appear again, and everyone had already reached the middle part of the spiral staircase that spread downwards.

Suddenly, everyone stopped.

Because they all heard the sound.

I heard what sounded like the sound of feet landing.

Their eyes all fell on the ground, and the few people in that position immediately dispersed around, staring at the ground.

Jiang Xian waved to several people and walked over first.

He had already put on gloves on his palms, and with his eyes fixed on the ground, he brushed off the dust above his palms, tapped it lightly, and patted it again.

clatter……

A sound similar to footsteps sounded from below again, Lin Ruoxue's eyes flashed, and she immediately came forward and looked at the stones on the ground.

"Axian, did you hear it just now? The sound below..."

Jiang Xian nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it too. This staircase is not made of pure stone."

"No...it can be said that it is not made of stone, but a composite material similar to concrete."
To be continued...
