Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Noticing Taotie's eyes, Qiu Puryue smiled at him and said nothing.

"So, how are you going to take these two out? Doesn't he need to be checked?" 27 changed the subject and asked Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao was about to speak when Mo Hanyu said coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Didn't I ask you that too?" 27 was still smiling, without any sign of embarrassment or anger.

Mo Hanyu's lips moved slightly, as if he was angry, and he secretly bit his teeth.

Qin Xiao didn't look at him and said to 27, "Why are you asking these questions?"

"I'm just curious." 27 said with a grin.

Qiongqi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him: "He has his own way, you don't need to worry about it."

27 paused, then turned to look at Qiongqi.

Qiongqi met his sharp eyes, yawned, said nothing more, and closed his eyes to take a nap.

27 looked at Qiongqi deeply and did not talk about this topic anymore.

When the sun set, someone finally arrived.

During this time, a few more people came in, all with incredible looks on their faces and in a mess. Qin Xiao and his companions also dispersed and went about their own business.

Tian Miao sat on the ground counting ants, and occasionally chatted with Qin Yunan.

Qin Xiao, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and turned to look at the three men who suddenly appeared, glancing at them indifferently.

do not know.

Qin Xiao withdrew his gaze.

No. 27 had already run to No. 9's side and was hanging upside down on the tree again, swinging back and forth.

Seeing these three people, 27 sat up on the tree trunk and looked at them with interest.

"Okay, it's time for us to go." Feng Yaoshan greeted them.

Qin Xiao stood up. Qiongqi suddenly jumped onto his shoulders and slipped into his arms through his loose clothes.

Taotie shrank again, only the size of a thumb. Yin Xihui easily put it into his sleeve and hid it.

"So, where are we going?"

On the way, 27 kept talking to Dong Muqi.

"When can I leave? Professor, I'm really hungry. Will I be provided with food after the examination? Will I have to stay overnight? But I haven't eaten much in the past few days. If I stay overnight and don't get any food, that would be..."

It's really noisy.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes.

The other people who had just come out also looked at him with indescribable expressions, as if they couldn't understand where his energy came from.

No. 9 seemed to have long been accustomed to No. 27's behavior and remained calm.

Dong Muqi seemed to be annoyed by his nagging, and frowned: "You will know when you get there."

"Ah? Then will you provide meals?" 27 seemed to be unable to see Dong Muqi's ugly expression. "I haven't had a complete meal in several years. Now that I'm finally out, the first thing I'm going to do is -"

"Speak less." Dong Muqi was really annoyed by what he said, and couldn't help asking, "Have you been idle in there these years? Look at everyone else, they all look so sad, can't you learn to calm down?"

"Sediment? Sediment what?" 27 was puzzled and looked around. As if to verify what Dong Muqi said, except for Qin Xiao and a few others, everyone else looked distraught.

"...I'm not idle in there either. I'm very careful every day, afraid that I'll be eaten - or killed? Fall into a trap? I'm really not idle at all. Teacher, you don't know how much trouble there is..."

Dong Muqi's eyes gradually became numb. She watched him open his mouth, but couldn't get a word in, so she finally closed it.

Qin Xiao glanced at Mo Hanyu and asked, "Has he always been so noisy?"

Mo Hanyu was obviously annoyed by the nagging: "...No."

Feng Yaoshan glanced at 27 with amusement, seeming to have some interest in him.

Finally, everyone was brought to a cave. Looking at the dark cave, Mo Hanyu frowned for some reason. After entering the cave, they were trapped in a dark environment, but these were nothing to the people who could come out, and they could still follow Dong Muqi and the others in an orderly manner.

Mo Hanyu touched his neck unconsciously. He suddenly entered a dark area, but he did not feel any discomfort. He could even see the situation in the cave clearly.

The temperature in the cave was very low, as if it was covered by cold air. When Mo Hanyu walked to a certain place, he suddenly stopped and looked down at the ground, where he saw mottled and hideous bloodstains. Perhaps because of the long time, after years of various frictions, it has turned into a pitch-black color and merged with the rock.

But Mo Hanyu could feel whose blood was spilled here.

Qin Xiao sensed Mo Hanyu's pause, tilted his head slightly, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

In the cave, any sound would hit the wall and echo, and eventually be amplified. Although Qin Xiao's voice was very light, it was still very clear in such an environment.

But fortunately, that person 27 was still chattering on and on, and Qin Xiao's voice was too soft in comparison.

"...Nothing." Mo Hanyu shook his head and stepped over the bloodstain.

After walking for a while, when I took a step, everything in front of me changed.

The bright light almost blinded everyone. Feng Yaoshan and his men had experience, so they only paused for a moment. The people behind him were caught off guard by the bright light, and some were even stimulated to the point of shedding tears.

Mo Hanyu still didn't feel any discomfort. Unlike the others, he didn't have any transition period and could see the scene in front of him clearly.

The pale walls surround the area in a square shape. Once you enter this area, you will feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The surrounding is too clean.

The walls were spotless, the floor was covered with large tiles, and there was a bright white expanse of glazed ceiling above, with pale light shining through it, illuminating everyone.

It seemed that because the surroundings were too white, everyone felt a little uneasy. Having just come out of the mountains, everyone was more or less stained, and suddenly coming to this incredibly clean place, they felt nervous unconsciously.

Even 27 paused for a moment, looked around, and said nothing more.

The space was not very spacious, about the size of the place where we were staying at that time. There was a square table in the front, and several people in fancy clothes were sitting around the table. I don't know if it was intentional, but they left a seat on the narrow side. When they heard the footsteps of the crowd, they turned their heads and looked over here.

"A group just left, and now another group is coming?"

A man was sitting sideways on a chair with one hand on the back. He was wearing a black robe, but he didn't wear it properly. His hat was tilted and drooped on his head. His red hair fell to his waist. He didn't have many clothes on, revealing his wheat-colored skin. His strong chest muscles trembled with his breathing. A purple gauze robe hung loosely on him, with some dark gold decorations scattered on it. It looked very gorgeous.

"Fortunately, this is the last batch today." The purple-haired woman sitting opposite him said slowly and looked over.

The decorations on women are not much different from those on men, but they are more conservative. The gauze skirt wraps themselves tightly, only the seductive collarbone is vaguely revealed. Just by sitting there, they can unconsciously attract everyone's attention and bring a sense of temptation.

The woman was wearing a purple veil, and the pearl curtain on her head was slightly drooping, flashing a golden light. Her eyes moved and her gaze stayed on Mo Hanyu's face.

Mo Hanyu met the woman's gaze and frowned uncomfortably.

Facing the crowd was an old man with gray hair. His temples were white and frosty, and his long beard hung down to the bottom of the table. He had thick eyebrows, and his whole face was wrinkled like the peel of an orange that had been squeezed dry.

The old man held out his hand, his pale skin showing: “Stop complaining, now that you’re here, let’s get started.”

"I, I have a question."

Before Dong Muling and others nodded, 27 suddenly raised his hand and looked at the old man.

"What's the problem?" The old man raised his eyes, and his turbid and sharp eyes locked onto him accurately. 27 suddenly felt as if he was pierced by an invisible sword.

27 said seriously: "How do we test it? Does it take a long time? If we test positive, what do we need to do?"

"Why do you have so many questions? Are you the only one who talks too much among so many people?" The man looked at him coldly, very unhappy, "You can only ask one question."

"Don't be so fierce." 27 smiled, not showing any fear. "I just came out of that damn place, so it's understandable that I'm a little scared, right?"

"You're afraid, but you're still talking so much?" The man stared at him with a fake smile, "You're the only one who wants to be the first one to speak out among so many people?"

27 wanted to say something but was stopped by No. 9.

"Stop talking." No. 9 spoke, a slightly hoarse voice coming out of his throat.

27 His eyes changed slightly, his smile faded, and he stopped talking.

"So how do we test it?" Qin Xiao suddenly spoke, looking at the old man.

"Hey, what's going on? Just when you suppressed one, another one comes?" The man seemed to be so angry that he laughed. He stood up and walked to Qin Xiao step by step, looking down at him.

"I only asked one question." Qin Xiao remained expressionless.

"You will know in a moment. Is there any need for you to know it now?" The man looked gloomy and coldly at him.

"Since we will know in a moment, why can't we tell you in advance?"

"At the beginning, they were talking about looking for treasure. Now that someone has found it and they are finally able to get out, why are they doing all this inspection and searching... If they have the time to do these searches, why don't they take those people trapped in the forest out before the treasure is found?"

Qin Xiao's eyes gradually froze, and in the end, they were like condensed ice blades, stabbing towards the man in front of him.

"Is it because I don't have the ability?"

The man was extremely angry and was about to say something when he heard Qin Xiao say it again.

"Because you can't break the seal left by Mo Ze, but you want to get the so-called treasure, you have united so many families to search for it generation after generation. Now someone has got it. You want to find that person in order to analyze his strength and observe whether he has the ability to compete with you, right?"

"If that person doesn't have this ability, then you will deprive him of it. If he does, you can just pretend nothing happened and congratulate him."

"Is that so?"

After Qin Xiao asked, there was dead silence all around.

All kinds of eyes gathered from all around, some were surprised, some were watching the fun, and some were even terrified.

"Where did you hear this name?!" The old man suddenly stood up, looking a little horrified, "Why do you know this name?!"

Qin Xiao had a cold face and did not answer.

“So… you found it, right?” The old man’s eyes suddenly glowed with a scorching light. “You saw his memory, right? That’s why you lost control here, because this is where he died, and you were affected. So even though you hid for so long, you still lost control here, you—”

As the old man spoke, he strode towards this side and reached out to grab Qin Xiao's shoulder.

Qin Xiao dodged, but the old man refused to give in and grabbed him three times before finally grabbing his shoulder.

"You can't believe it. People like him just want to sow discord between us. He just doesn't want others to get his power. He—"

The old man seemed to be a little possessed. There was a strange light in his eyes and he spoke without thinking, saying things that should not be known to others.

"He just doesn't want to be killed by humans—"

"Killed by you? That would be a huge joke."

Qiongqi suddenly emerged from Qin Xiao's collar, stretched out its claws, and cut off the old man's hand with one slap.

"Are you worthy?"

The old man suddenly woke up, quickly let go of his other hand, covered his bleeding wrist and stepped back, looking at the Qiongqi on Qin Xiao's shoulder in doubt.

"you--"

Qiongqi threw the old man's hand away like throwing away garbage, and in full view of everyone, he transformed into a strong man, grabbed the old man's neck and lifted him up.

"You were also a participant back then, right? You also participated in that encirclement and suppression, right?" Qiongqi's dark gold pupils flashed with a terrifying light, "How ridiculous! If the human bound to him hadn't died, he wouldn't have died at all."

Qin Xiao was stunned and his pupils shrank slightly.

This sudden change shocked everyone, and the woman who was sitting also stood up. The man closest to the old man immediately attacked Qiongqi.

Qiongqi didn't even look at him, but slapped him away, and continued to stare at the old man, saying with a fake smile: "Now you are using the place where he died for testing? You are so shameless..."

The man fell heavily to the ground, his chest sunken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Dong Muling was about to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by Dong Muqi.

"You are no match for him." Dong Muqi held Dong Muling's hand tightly and whispered.

Qiongqi was obviously angry. A tyrannical pressure emanated from him, like a violent wind sweeping up the yellow sand in the wilderness, or like lightning that streaked across the sky when a storm was about to come. The shocking sense of oppression attacked everyone present without distinction.

My heart was beating uncontrollably, like a scream of extreme fear. All the blood in my body seemed to freeze. My knees were shaking and I wished I could kneel down on the ground immediately.

Some of the weaker ones fell backwards, spitting out blood, and fainted on the ground.

Qin Xiao frowned, having a bad feeling.

"Run!" Qin Xiao's face changed drastically. He pulled Mo Hanyu, who was closest to him, and turned around and ran.

Mo Hanyu also seemed to sense something. He did not struggle. He turned around and waved at Yin Xihui and the others, signaling them to follow.

"Qiongqi is angry, you'd better run away." Taotie suddenly emerged from Yin Xihui's clothes and said calmly, "If you don't want to become a meat paste."

Before Taotie said anything, No. 9 had already pulled No. 27, signaling him to follow Qin Xiao.

"…Oh my god." 27 narrowed his eyes, as if he was quite interested in this outrageous and surprising scene. "This is so scary."

Although he said that, there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, he was gleaming with excitement.

No matter how excited you are, you still have to run.

But the strange thing was that when I ran in the direction I came from, I didn't go straight through it like I came here. Instead, it seemed like I hit a real wall.

No, if it hits a real wall, the wall will be cracked directly.

"What is this?" Qin Yun'an was shocked.

"It's just a domain." Qin Xiao stretched out his hand, and this time he successfully passed through the wall. "It's to build a domain-like space in this cave. In the domain, the space can change according to the owner's thoughts."

Qin Xiao said this and directly tore a hole in the space.

"Let's go."
