Zhou Shu held the last golden hairpin in his hand and stared closely at the fallen cultivator with eyes like a torch.

The cultivator was tightly wrapped in ivy, like a green cocoon, shaking back and forth, but he couldn't break free at all, and he couldn't even make a sound.

After five breaths, the ivy turned into a faint green light and gradually disappeared.

The mask cultivator suffered a series of heavy blows, coupled with the effect of the Eclipse Pills, he was very unconscious. He reluctantly put his hands on the ground and tried to get up.

Whoosh.

The golden hairpin turned into a stream of light, penetrated through his body, and directly pierced his throat.

The mask cultivator groaned, his body twitched a few times, and he fell dead.

Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately dragged the mask repairer in front of him.

He took off the mask, revealing a pale and ugly face, with his eyes wide open, quite horrifying. He died so inexplicably that I couldn't believe it.

Zhou Shu was also somewhat fortunate that the cultivator in front of him had at least the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm, but he still died by his own hands.

But in the final analysis, the essences of Qi Refining Realm cultivators are all the same.

When cultivators do not reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, they cannot release their spiritual consciousness, cannot contemplate internally, cannot eat wind or drink dew, cannot use flying magic weapons, and need to eat, drink, and sleep. They are not much different from ordinary people. Only when they reach the Foundation Establishment Realm

, can be truly extraordinary.

Zhou Shu inspected it carefully and found a lot.

First, there are storage bags. Then there are dozens of medium-grade spiritual stones, two bottles of elixirs, some talismans, a few jade slips, and a fusiform magic weapon.

Without having time to take a closer look, Zhou Shu took them all into his arms, then took off the mask cultivator's black clothes, quickly put them on himself, and then put on the weird mask again.

He used a cleaning technique to cover up the blood stains on his clothes. He looked up and down, and there didn't seem to be much difference between him and the mask repairman.

"Just go out and try."

Zhou Shu imitated the posture of the mask cultivator and walked out of the cave step by step.

In front of you is a long and narrow corridor, which seems to be formed naturally, with hanging stalagmites everywhere.

Fortunately there is no one else.

Zhou Shu walked along the corridor, winding for a while, and came to a slightly wide cave.

There were several lamps burning in the cave, and there were several futons. In front of the futons was a stone statue two people tall. The stone statue was also wearing a strange mask, and its eyes seemed to be shining, which was quite strange.

Beside the stone statue, two masked cultivators in black sat opposite each other. They glanced at Zhou Shu, then ignored them and continued chatting.

"Zhao Da, Li Si and others have gone out today. Should we also go out to look for people? If we gather eighty-one living sacrifices as soon as possible, the rewards given by the master will definitely be much larger."

"Forget it, it's not our turn today, and besides, we have to keep people here."

"What's there to save? Those casual cultivators who took the Eclipse Pill are now like sheep. They can be cut at will for fear of running away."

"That's not what you're saying. If you're not afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. Besides, if the master comes back later and sees no one, we won't be in trouble."

The two of them were chatting to themselves, not paying attention to Zhou Shu.

This is just fine, you can go out.

Zhou Shu pretended to be nonchalant and glanced left and right, suddenly murmuring in his heart. There were five passages beside the cave. Apart from the one leading out, there were four more passages. Which one was the way out?

Regardless, Zhou Shu walked straight to the opposite passage.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

A slightly confused, yet very cold voice came from behind.

Zhou Shu was shocked and stopped where he was.

Could it be that he was noticed?

"Bastard, what are you doing in the master's room? Do you want to steal something while the master is away?"

"Friday, you think too highly of him. How can he have the courage? I'm afraid he took too many Eclipse Pills and was contaminated by the medicine, and he became a little stupid, haha."

Zhou Shu felt relieved. Fortunately, he just went the wrong way and no one noticed him. But why does this name sound so strange?

The cultivator he pretended to be was originally called Bastard...

It seems that none of these mask cultivators use their real names, just random code names, but this "bastard" is really miserable, and I don't know how he can endure it. Most of them are at the bottom of the rankings, and they have no status here.

Zhou Shu turned around slowly and said hesitantly, "I feel... anxious... I can't hold it in any longer..."

Since others said he was stupid, he might as well just fool around. He had heard the mask cultivator's voice before, and after imitating it a little, he found that it was 70% or 80% similar.

"Get out of here, don't get me!"

The two cursed for a while and quickly turned their heads.

Zhou Shu looked at the passages on the left and right, his heart skipped a beat, and he walked directly to the left. The two cultivators didn't say anything.

"It seems to be right."

Zhou Shu felt relieved and walked quickly along the passage.

But after walking for a while, I realized something was wrong. There was no exit in sight until the end of this passage. Instead, there were several newly dug stone chambers connected to both sides, which seemed to be similar to warehouses.

Now that you're in, you can't turn around and go out, as that will more easily arouse suspicion.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Shu walked towards a stone room.

As soon as he reached the door, he was pushed out by an invisible force. If he hadn't dodged quickly, his body would have hit the stone wall.

It can be seen that there is some kind of formation in the cave to prevent others from entering, and the corresponding formation talisman must be there to open it.

I visited several stone chambers and found the same situation.

I walked to the last stone room with some disappointment, but unexpectedly stepped into it without any hindrance.

Entering the stone chamber, Zhou Shu was startled. This stone chamber was extremely spacious, but he could not feel the presence of aura. There was no decoration inside, except for a huge altar placed in the middle.

The altar is square, five feet in length and width, and nearly one foot in height. It is as black as ink. The sides of the altar are carved with countless complicated red runes, like dried blood, which is terrifying. There are many things similar to candlesticks.

, dotted on the stage, emitting a faint light from time to time, revealing an unspeakable and strange aura.

"This should be the place where the fire refining formation is arranged. It is indeed evil and is definitely not a good thing. It is no wonder that there is no defensive formation here. It is probably because these things cannot be contaminated with spiritual energy, but it seems that the arrangement is not complete, and there is nothing

Source of power.”

Zhou Shu thought in his mind, stepped forward quickly, reached out and grabbed a candlestick, and stuffed it into the storage bag without thinking.

Destroying it first will prevent the success of the big formation, which can help the casual cultivators delay for a while. The most important thing is that it can be taken back as evidence.

Zhou Shu quickly walked out of the stone room and went straight out of the passage.

The two people outside were still chatting, and glanced at Zhou Shu with disgust, "What are you shaking about, you damn bastard, you're really an eyesore."

Zhou Shu didn't say anything, and walked to the passage on the right with his head down.

This answer shouldn’t be wrong, right?

After walking a long way and going around many twists and turns, some light finally appeared before my eyes.

After peeling away many vines that covered the entrance of the cave, he finally saw the light again. His tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and Zhou Shu stepped out happily.

Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly became empty and he fell straight down.

The exit is on the cliff?
Chapter completed!
