The place where everyone in the Zhou family gathered was less than half a day's journey from the secret realm. Under the leadership of Zhou Yuan, the group arrived at the place where they had almost entered the inner area of the Xingluo Mountain Range.
This is a valley with extremely desolate surroundings. The vitality of heaven and earth is very thin. It seems that there is no place with natural materials or earthly treasures. Even monsters may not be willing to settle here.
Zhou Yuan led everyone outside a very tall cave. Looking in from the outside, there was nothing strange about the cave.
Dark, quiet, and unremarkable.
"right here."
After that, Zhou Yuan picked up a small stone from the ground and used his energy to hit it directly towards the entrance of the cave.
Buzz!
A golden barrier suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. The stone hit the barrier and bounced back to Zhou Yuan with the same force without any pause.
Catching the stone, Zhou Yuan said solemnly: "As you can see, this formation not only has the effect of protecting and blocking the enemy, but also has the effect of reflecting the attack back to the attacker."
None of the Zhou family disciples who were following Zhou Yuan seemed to have heard these words. Everyone was looking at the cave intently, as if they wanted to see clearly what was inside the cave through the darkness through the golden barrier that had gradually dissipated.
What treasure is hidden?
The sound of swallowing saliva sounded in the venue, and countless people were moved by greed.
"Everyone should also know where they are standing and what they need to do along the way, right? As the center of the formation, I need to contribute the most blood and energy. Others can give up if they really can't hold on.
, but think about the treasures in the secret realm and the Zhou family."
Zhou Yuan did not hesitate, and directly took out various formation materials from the storage bag and secured them one by one in the open space outside the secret realm.
As for the remaining fourteen disciples of the Zhou family who are in the late stage of opening the pulse, one by one, you look at me and I look at you.
Although the scroll says it's safe, it still consumes one's own blood.
A total of twelve people are needed to set up the formation. Excluding Zhou Yuan, who is in charge of the formation, eleven more people are needed.
"I think we should conduct bloodletting according to our strength, with the stronger ones going first." A Zhou family disciple took the lead in saying.
"How to distinguish the strong from the weak? Let's fight first? In that case, I will just lie down on the ground and admit defeat." Another Zhou family member responded with a disdainful tone.
"Why don't the weak go first! After all, this is not a safe place and someone needs to protect the law."
For a while, a lively and cordial discussion began, including many greetings to each other's parents and ancestors. However, as the questions continued, I realized that they were actually asking about the same ancestors, which was a bit embarrassing.
"Let's draw lots, don't waste time." While setting up the formation, Zhou Yuan said the solution.
The matter in the secret realm was a big deal, so the Zhou family had already thought through the entire process and solution before taking action.
With no other option, the Zhou family members in the field had no choice but to draw lots, and finally selected the lucky three and the unlucky eleven.
Under the leadership of Zhou Yuan, the Twelve Blood Remnants Formation was set up. Twelve monks in the late stage of opening the pulse realm showed their wrists and stabbed at the blood vessels.
"Hey, a large-scale mass suicide scene?"
Ye Xiao, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but complain.
He is now full of curiosity about this secret place hidden in the mountains. After all, even his spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate the golden light curtain.
This means there are quite a few secrets hidden inside.
After watching Zhou Yuan and the others cut their wrists, they forced their own essence and blood to drop to the formation on the ground. As the essence and blood arrived, the area outlined on the ground by the twelve blood residual formations emitted a faint red light.
, combined with the essence and blood on the ground, it is very evil.
"Zhou Yuan! Isn't it just bleeding blood? How come the Yuan Power in my body is also involved!" A Zhou family disciple shouted angrily at Zhou Yuan. He felt that not only was he being bled, but the Yuan Power in his body was also being drained.
It was quickly flowing out of the body.
"continue."
Faced with doubts, Zhou Yuan just said coldly.
"hateful!"
Although they sensed something was wrong, the Zhou family disciples present were all greedy for the secret realm in the cave, so they did not withdraw directly when their own safety could be guaranteed. Each of them could only release blood and vitality.
One minute, two minutes.
As time went by, the faces of the people in the Twelve Blood Remnant Formation gradually turned pale.
"Zhou Yuan! It's not okay yet!!! You're not good, I quit!"
Just when one of the Zhou family disciples couldn't bear it anymore and was about to leave the formation, the spell in Zhou Yuan's hand changed, and he pointed towards the entrance of the cave.
"The Twelve Blood Remnant Formation, start!"
A dazzling red light lit up under everyone's feet, and twelve monks in the late stages of opening the pulse realm gathered together to use their essence, blood and Yuan Power to strike the red light directly towards the entrance of the secret realm.
Buzz!
As if aware of the danger, the formation of the secret realm had already risen before the red light touched the entrance.
The yellow mask and the red beam collided instantly.
With a loud noise like an earthquake and a mountain shaking, the entire entrance to the secret realm was overturned by the air wave formed by the two. Fifteen Zhou family disciples, including Zhou Yuan, collapsed to the ground in embarrassment.
The three people who did not participate in the formation were fine, but the remaining twelve people all looked weak and exhausted. They took out their elixirs and started taking medicine.
At this moment, strong vitality of heaven and earth suddenly appeared in the cave. Its concentration almost made the fifteen people present widen their eyes. They all couldn't believe that they could be under such vitality of heaven and earth.
For a time, everyone's doubts, including Zhou Yuan's, were dispelled.
There must be a secret realm inside the cave, and even if there isn't, there is definitely a treasure!
The three Zhou family disciples who were not participating in the formation glanced at each other, and then the three of them rushed towards the cave without saying hello, completely ignoring the twelve people who were still meditating and adjusting their breaths outside.
"asshole!"
Zhou Zhou, who had been very calm along the way, saw someone running away from him. He immediately changed his usual attitude and chased after him with an angry look on his face.
Fifteen people entered the cave one after another.
The moment the dim scene inside the cave replaced the bright outdoor scene, Zhou Yuan's vision dimmed. However, it took him almost only a breath to adapt to the change in light and darkness, and he could clearly see what was in front of him.
everything.
"!"
The moment Zhou Yuan saw the situation in the cave clearly, the pupils of Zhou Yuan's eyes shrank slightly due to shock.
I saw that there were no very winding passages in the cave, and there were no other entrances to the secret realm. There was a very huge space inside the cave, which seemed to have hollowed out the entire mountain.
In such a cave, there are corpses everywhere, corpses without flesh and blood, only bones left!
In addition to the bones, there were some incomplete weapons and damaged storage bags placed beside the bones.
At this time, not only Zhou Yuan, but the other fourteen Zhou family disciples were also looking at everything in the cave with shocked faces.
They thought that even if it wasn't a treasure trove with mountains of treasures, it definitely contained an ancient monk's cave.
But no one expected that it was just an ordinary cave inside. Although the vitality of heaven and earth was very abundant inside, there were a large number of white bones as far as the eye could see.
Everyone was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of them.
Until Zhou Yuan saw the clothes wrapped in the bones.
Although they were broken, they still retained their color and style.
And Zhou Yuan and the other fourteen Zhou family disciples in the field recognized this dress!
But! This dress shouldn’t appear here!
Zhou Yuan murmured to himself subconsciously: "The clothes of the Ye family, what is going on here!"
Looking around, almost all the bones in this cave are wearing the clothes of the Ye family. This chapter has been completed!
