A beam of light, like a sharp black arrow, penetrated through the dark green smoke and landed on a pavilion on the edge of a lake in the house.
Crow stood on the ridge of the pavilion, looking down at the small lake in front of him, the dim light in his eyes became more intense.
In the crow's eyes, he seemed to be able to see through the lake and see the fish swimming in the water.
"Is there still a magic circle in this lake?"
"So many fancy things?"
"Still poisonous?"
"It's so annoying."
The crow complained a few words.
He saw that in this lake, every drop of water contained an extremely ingenious magic circle.
If outsiders enter the lake, they will be noticed immediately by the magic circle.
Moreover, the lake water contains highly poisonous substances. According to the crow’s judgment, at least a Taiyi Daoguo realm warrior will not be able to escape unscathed if he enters it!
His eyes continued to look downward, through the green lake water, towards the bottom!
Beneath the bottom of the lake, it's dark, cold, and covered in silt.
There is also a toad as big as a mountain lying here.
Every time the toad exhales, milky white smoke is emitted from its mouth and nose.
The smoke was spit out and quickly blended into the water, turning into a deadly poison.
"Poison refined from the Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang?" Crow tilted his head and looked at the toad.
But his eyes were like a sharp sword piercing the mud, and he saw a layer of light curtain under the mud.
Under the mud, about ten feet away, there is a layer of light curtain, forming a mud and pool.
Within the light curtain, dim candlelight illuminated the darkness, revealing a staircase leading deep into the ground.
"It looks like it's down here!"
Without any hesitation, the crow turned into a stream of light and headed straight into the lake.
Even if there is a magic circle and poison in the lake, it still can't stop the crow.
The moment the crow approached the lake, he opened his mouth and spat out, and a black sword light flew out and enveloped him.
Under the protection of the black sword light, he cut through the water without touching the magic circle!
This black sword light was clearly the "Breaking Sword Qi" that Lin Bai gave to Crow.
"Hehe, that guy Lin Bai's forbidden sword energy is really useful."
"I have already said that as long as that boy Lin Bai is willing to join forces with me, there is no place in the world that cannot be reached."
The crow smiled and swooped towards the bottom of the lake. After a while, it came to the huge toad.
But the crow didn't even glance at the toad, and pierced the mud and headed towards the light curtain.
The crow turned into a black shadow and passed by. The toad seemed to be moving and slowly opened its eyes.
Under the dark and cold pool, the toad's open eyes were like two lanterns lit in the darkness, which was particularly eerie.
After the toad opened his eyes, he looked around, but found nothing strange, so he closed his eyes again.
At this moment, the crow has pierced the mud and arrived in front of the light curtain.
Borrowing the power of the forbidden sword energy, he broke through the light curtain and landed on the stairs.
The crow looked forward intently again. The stairs leading to the ground were very deep and long, and lights were hung on the stone walls on both sides to illuminate the way forward.
There are also many venomous snakes crawling on the ground, and the squirming poisonous insects make people shudder.
Whoa... After the crow stopped for a while, it disappeared from the place again.
And the skills he displayed this time were obviously something that even Lin Bai had never seen before.
He seemed to have slipped into the void and disappeared completely, as if he had never appeared at all.
But after a while, the crow's figure reappeared on the spot, "No, the void can't pass. This group of monsters in the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley have also arranged a 'void ban' here?"
"Something's wrong. This place is the guest house of the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley. The Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley has never been able to visit this place for thousands of years. Why are you willing to spend so much money to set up a void seal here?"
Crow tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "It seems that boy Lin Bai was right again. There is indeed something fishy here."
"I wonder if there are any treasures hidden here?"
Thinking of the treasure, Crow's eyes lit up with excitement.
Since there is no way to pass through the void, the crow can only use other means.
Fortunately, Crow has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and this mere underground palace cannot stop him.
The next moment.
The crow seemed to turn into a wisp of smoke, floating towards the depths of the underground palace.
When the crow appeared again, it had reached the depths of the earth.
In a huge underground space.
The crow stood on a stone and looked curiously at the space in front of it.
The space in front of the crow is a hundred feet high and a thousand feet wide. It is considered a huge space.
And within the space, everything is surrounded by darkness, coldness, dampness, and a rotten atmosphere.
The entire space is densely covered with spider webs, layer upon layer, airtight.
Within the huge spider web, there are countless black spiders crawling back and forth.
The crow noticed that in the very center of the spider web, there was a black spider as big as a mountain, lying on the spider web, gasping for breath.
This black spider is as big as a mountain, with a human face rune on the poison sac on its tail.
"Ghost-faced spider?" Crow tilted his head and murmured, "What are these things doing in the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley underground here?"
Just as the crow was puzzled, the wall next to it slowly shook, a stone door opened, and a pale man walked out and came under the ghost-faced spider.
When Crow saw this man, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I'll go, this guy is really here!"
"That boy Lin Bai really guessed it right!"
"Xia Jingzhi is hiding in the guest house in the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang, and looking at the surroundings... he seems to have been living here for some time."
The stone door opened, and the pale young man who walked out was none other than Xia Jingzhi.
Xia Jingzhi walked under the ghost-faced spider, pierced the poison sac of the ghost-faced spider with a sharp knife, took out some dark green venom and put it into a jade bottle.
"It's almost successful, it's almost successful..." Xia Jingzhi murmured while taking the poison sac.
After Xia Jingzhi took the venom, he returned to the cave.
Crow was curious about what Xia Jingzhi was doing, so he slowly approached him.
I saw that the cave was filled with all kinds of strange poisons that Xia Jingzhi had collected in the Chu Kingdom.
In the cave, there was an alchemy furnace. At this moment, he was taking out the poison from the ghost-faced spider's venom sac and carefully pouring it into the alchemy furnace.
Then start refining it.
In the alchemy furnace, the poison was boiling, and traces of poison spread out, causing the surrounding walls to begin to decay.
Crow stood in the dark and took a look, and said in shock: "Let me go, is this guy refining the 'Cry of Ghosts and Gods'?"
"What does he want to do?"
"Do you want to poison all the warriors in the Imperial Capital to death?"
After taking another look, the crow silently disappeared into the cave.
From the beginning to the end, Xia Jingzhi never noticed...that there was a bird watching him secretly refining the poison.
