After reading the note, Qianyu gently touched the Xiaodeng with his fingertips. In an instant, a faint stream of light flashed, and the Xiaodeng disappeared without a trace.

"Brother Qianyu, what's going on outside?" Seeing Qianyu close the wooden door again, Hu Tao asked anxiously.

"It's okay, maybe it's just a naughty kid playing a prank." Qianyu replied with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.

And at a moment when no one noticed, a bag of Mora appeared silently on the counter behind everyone.

After hearing this, Kurumi looked thoughtful, but she didn't dwell on the issue too much because she had encountered similar things before.

"Well, everyone, time is running out, let's quickly send Brother Wolf back to Wuwangpo. This way, all problems can be solved." Walnut suggested.

Hearing this, Lao Meng nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

"Boyang, come along, maybe you can find the person you have been looking for at our destination." Hu Tao said to Boyang.

"Really?" Boyang was overjoyed and excited.

"Of course. I always keep my word." Walnut answered confidently.

After saying that, the group embarked on their journey to Wuwangpo.

On the other side, in a dark space surrounded by stone walls, dark purple flames burned in the torches.

On the highest throne, a young man sat quietly, like a statue, emitting a mysterious and majestic aura. This young man was Kong.

"Your Highness..." Suddenly, the Abyss Test Apostle who was sitting next to the young man spoke respectfully.

Kong raised his head slightly and looked at the apostle with a cold gaze: "So, you are saying that the abyssal power of the Layered Rock Abyss has been completely sealed, right?"

The apostle bowed his head and replied affirmatively, “Yes, it is absolutely true.”

Hearing this news, Kong frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and surprise in his eyes. He knew very well how powerful the power of the abyss was, and being able to seal it again was something that no ordinary person could do.

"Unless that Rock God takes action personally..." Kong murmured.

It turned out that the Abyss Cult had long before noticed the barrier set up by the immortals in the Layered Abyss during the Kanreya War.

Although this knot is extremely solid and difficult to break through, after a hundred years, a steady stream of abyssal power still seeps out from it...

"It seems that this opportunity to gather strength will be missed again..."

"Yuan Shang, go take Durin's cursed blood and inject it into the purification device. It may be able to replace the operation of the power of the abyss."

Upon hearing this order, an illusory gate to the abyss suddenly appeared under the throne, and a fiery figure walked out of it.

"I understand, but Your Highness, regarding the plan to overthrow the Seven Gods..."

"Let's put it aside for now. The most important thing is to let them recover their physical bodies." After saying that, Kong clenched his fists tightly. Although he was not sure whether he could succeed, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he was willing to give it a try.

Hearing this, the Apostle of the Abyss suddenly knelt down.

"Thank you for your decision, Your Highness. We are willing to follow Your Highness until death..."

And in the shadows behind the throne, a twisted figure was looming against the stone wall.

This figure exudes a sinister aura that makes people shudder.

His figure seemed to be distorted by the darkness, making it difficult to grasp. And the black and white light in his abdomen was dim, like a star that was about to go out.

In the darkness, he revealed a pair of hands covered with scales, his fingers were long and sharp, flashing with cold light.

"Oh, it is ridiculous to try to rebuild your body and offset the influence of the undead curse by relying solely on Durin's blood, Your Highness..."

His voice was low and hoarse, like a demon from the abyss.

"But the God of Rock can seal the abyss alone..."

"Hahaha, such an interesting thing actually happened during the hundred years when I was away..."

After saying that, he slowly stretched out his left hand and raised his sword. The sword flashed with a cold light, revealing a powerful force.

There was a flash of scarlet in his eyes, like a burning flame.

In an instant, a strange mist surged out from his body and quickly enveloped him.

The fog rolled and surged, surrounding him as if it had life, and his figure gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared completely in the darkness.

…………

At this moment, as Walnut led everyone into the secret realm, a sense of oppression swept over them instantly. Walnut held a lantern in his hand with a mysterious smile on his face:

"Everyone, this is the border between life and death. It is also the place that the Wangsheng Hall has guarded for generations." Her voice echoed in the silent space.

"Huh... here..."

"Be careful, I can feel an extremely special evil spirit." Boyang warned, looking around vigilantly.

This environment reminded him of the scene under the rock layer...

As the words fell, everyone discovered that not far away from them, a group of monsters were surrounding the gate they had to pass through. Their eyes were flashing strange light and emitting a disturbing aura.

"Don't worry, Boyang, this is normal." Hu Tao said with a calm tone, as if she was not surprised by the scene before her.

"Normal? Are you sure, with so many monsters..." Paimon frowned and looked at Kurumi worriedly.

"That's because the earth veins are disturbed, which is why monsters gather here." Walnut explained, "But don't worry, we have the ability to deal with it."

Hearing this, Qianyu nodded with a smile on her face, and Ying saw this action clearly.

"Besides, since this is the border between life and death, we can't let you pass so easily, right?" Walnut blinked and smiled mischievously.

"Okay, that makes sense..." Paimon said.

"Well, everyone, follow me." Walnut said, turning around and walking towards the monster.

After that, everyone followed Kurumi carefully. However, even though they were careful enough, they still inevitably attracted the attention of the monster.

The monsters roared and gradually approached the crowd. The atmosphere became tense and a battle was about to break out.

"Everyone be careful, they are coming." Lao Meng was the first to warn. His voice was steady and serious, making everyone alert.

"It's okay, Lao Meng, just hide well and leave this small matter to me." Hu Tao said confidently.

As the aura around Kurumi exploded, the Staff of Homa emerged from the void, and the fire element instantly covered the tip of the spear.

However, just as Kurumi was about to attack, everyone suddenly felt a breeze coming.

The breeze was soft and gentle, but it carried an inexplicable power. Then, all the monsters fell to the ground, as if they were knocked down by an invisible force.

"Hey, weird, I haven't done anything yet, could it be that they have learned to scam people these days?" Walnut said in confusion. She looked at the monster on the ground, feeling very confused.

Hearing this, Lao Meng also felt strange. This is a secret place, how could there be wind? Moreover, these monsters did not seem to have suffered any obvious injuries, but fell down inexplicably.

Seeing the strange sight before them, Ying and Paimon glanced at Qianyu at the same time.

"Hey, why are you looking at me? It wasn't me who did it..." Qianyu felt guilty and said in a low voice.

However, without too much hesitation, everyone continued to go deeper into the ruins, and finally they stopped on a cliff.

"Uh... Is there no way ahead..." Paimon said with some fear as he looked at the bottomless cliff in front of him.

"Isn't the road always there?" Walnut said, and then she showed a sly smile.

"Huh? Really? Where is it?" Hearing this, Ying also came over curiously.

"Hehe...right here!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Before Ying and Paimeng could react, Hu Tao moved sideways and instantly pushed the two of them down, leaving only a scream echoing in the air...

With two "plops", Ying and Paimeng fell into the pool below the cliff. Their figures disappeared under the water, and the splashes of water scattered around.

After a while, two heads emerged from the water. They were Ying and Paimeng. They were gasping for breath and looked pale.

Seeing this scene, the four people on the cliff jumped down one after another.

"How are you? Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Hu Tao asked as he wiped the pool water off his face.

"Wow! Walnut, you actually kicked us down! This is too much!" Paimon complained, with a hint of anger in his tone.

Ying also agreed: "Yes, Hu Tao, it is too dangerous for you to do this." Her voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that she had not recovered from the shock just now.

Walnut smiled awkwardly, scratched her head and said, "Hey, sorry. I was just curious and wanted to see the adventurers' emergency response... Who knew you were so timid." A mischievous smile spread across her face.

Paimon pouted and said, "Humph, this is not a joke. What if something goes wrong?" Her little face was puffed up with anger.

Hu Tao quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I just played a joke too much, please forgive me. I won't do this again." There was a sincere light shining in her eyes.
