After the tall, thin man went into the cave, the cave entrance returned to silence.

The beautiful woman with black lotus sat upright on the lotus, her eyes slightly closed, and the black lotus mark on the back of her neck flickered slightly, simultaneously transmitting the scene seen by the tall, thin man into her sea of ​​consciousness.

Her expression shifted from calm to serious, then to unpredictable mood swings, and her lips tightened more and more.

As the other party moved deeper, the picture became intermittent, the signal strength fluctuated, and eventually even the picture disappeared, leaving only the other party's voice.

"There are even shielding restrictions inside!"

She said something in a low voice, then raised an eyebrow.

"It's stopped."

The tall, thin man's voice suddenly returned, broken and intermittent, as if he were speaking through a thick rock wall:

"There's light ahead. A platform. There's something on the platform."

He paused, then his voice suddenly became shrill.

"Holy crap! Something's not right!"

That's not a thing! What is that?!

Explain yourself.

"A...a red thing."

It's like a human, yet not quite a human.

It's spinning.

The tall, thin man spoke faster and faster.

"It's watching me. It knows I'm watching it."

"Get closer and see clearly!"

The beautiful woman urged him on!

"But I'm scared!"

"Don't die!"

The tall, thin man remained silent, and the footsteps resumed, growing faster and faster.

"My God, the Emperor's Ginseng?"

The tall, thin man's voice was filled with shock.

But then came a whooshing sound, followed by the cracking sound of bones breaking, several times in a row, dense and muffled.

"He's dead."

The beautiful woman frowned slightly.

But his eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Before he died, he uttered the words "Emperor Venerable!"

That stuff is amazing. After consuming it, it can modify one's divine foundation and increase cultivation speed. As long as one focuses on cultivation, one will definitely be able to break through to at least the God Emperor realm, and it's not impossible to even reach the God Venerable realm!

The beautiful woman stared at the cave entrance for a moment, then turned to look at her followers behind her.

Her gaze was like a broom, sweeping across everyone's face.

"you."

She pointed to a thin, middle-aged man.

you.

And you.

Go inside.

With that, she waved her hand and placed a restriction on the three of them.

The three people turned pale.

The first person called opened his mouth as if to say something, but the beautiful woman with the black lotus had already turned around and was facing away from him.

The move was clear: either go in or die.

He gritted his teeth and was the first to crawl in.

The second and third followed behind him, their footsteps echoing in the passage for a while before disappearing one by one.

"Why can't I sense it anymore!"

The Black Lotus Beauty's face instantly turned ugly.

She ordered a few more people and sent them in batches, but the result was the same.

The people who went in seemed to vanish into thin air!

Seeing this, the burly man with horns asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's alright! It must be very dangerous inside. Let's think of another way to leave!"

The beautiful woman with the dark complexion didn't want to have another competitor.

Upon hearing this, the burly man with horns rolled his eyes: "Really? You, you, you, go in and take a look!"

He didn't quite believe Black Lotus Beauty's words. The other party had been so anxious to send so many people in, so they must have found something good inside!

The same thing happened to the burly men who went in; one by one, they went missing and died.

"I told you, it's dangerous inside!"

The beautiful woman frowned.

"Stop adding more lives!"

"Oh, I'd love to!"

The horned giant is now certain that there are good things inside, otherwise the other party wouldn't have reacted this way. What does it matter to her whether she sends people in or not?

The beautiful woman's expression shifted between light and shadow; after a moment, she chuckled softly.

"Alright, since you're worried about not being able to hook up with girls, how about we team up?"

"How will we cooperate?"

The burly man with horns stared at her expressionlessly.

"Let's go in together, and if we encounter any danger, we'll fight together! We'll split the treasure inside equally!"

"Hmph! You won't even tell me what treasure is inside, how can I trust you?"

The burly man with horns sneered.

"It looks like there's Emperor's Ginseng inside!"

"What?! Emperor's Ginseng!"

The horned, muscular man's eyes widened. If he could get his hands on this thing, would he still have to worry about not being able to reach the pinnacle?

"Maybe, I'm not sure. The first person to go in said this before he died!"

Upon hearing this, the horned giant stared at the Black Lotus Beauty for a long time.

The beautiful woman's expression was calm, revealing no scheming, but the horned giant knew that this ancient monster, who had lived for countless years, had three layers of meaning in every word she spoke.

However, this Emperor's Ginseng is just too tempting. Whether it's real or fake, I have to give it a try. Besides, we can't get out of here anyway, so why not go inside and try my luck!

"Okay. Let's go together!"

But before we go in, we must swear an oath with our hearts that we will not ambush them!

"no problem."

After making their vows, the two men, along with the remaining followers, headed towards the cave.

At this moment, these people were all excited. If they could eventually get their hands on this treasure, they would probably be able to establish their own sect!

As soon as we stepped into the dark cave, the surrounding air suddenly turned cold.

That coldness penetrates from the surface of the skin, seeps into the meridians along the pores, and then into the bone marrow.

The horned giant's dark red scales frostled in the cold air, while fine ice crystals condensed on the beautiful woman's black lotus petals.

Even with their protective divine power pushed to its limit, the two still couldn't block the penetrating chill.

The totems on the walls of the passage grew brighter in the darkness, changing from dark red to a dazzling blood red.

The totems were no longer static; they were slowly wriggling, as if the wall itself were breathing.

The beautiful woman suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" the horned giant asked.

"Those carvings," the beautiful woman pointed to the cave wall.

"Look."

The horned giant leaned closer to take a look.

The totems were clearly visible in the blood-red light, and the direction and arrangement of the lines suddenly changed.

It used to be messy, like random graffiti.

But at this moment, those lines are reorganizing and rearranging themselves. They are piecing together a shape.

A clear, recognizable shape.

That was a face.

The horned giant's pupils contracted sharply. The face filled the entire cave wall, its features clearly defined, its eyes tightly closed, and its lips pressed together.

But in the instant the two were looking at it, the lips of that face suddenly parted slightly, as if it were about to spit something out.

What emerged from the crevice was not a sound, but an extremely strong stench of blood, mixed with an indescribable foul smell.

Suddenly, one of the beautiful woman's followers let out a short scream, as if his whole body had been burst open from the inside, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

The blood mist sprayed onto the cave walls and was slowly absorbed by the totems.

The remaining people froze, even their breathing became lighter.

"Get out of here immediately!"

The beautiful woman quickened her pace as she looked at the open space ahead.

After passing through that section of the cave wall, the space suddenly opened up.

The dome is extremely high, the ground is as flat as a mirror, and a stone platform stands in the center.

A fist-sized, blood-red ginseng floated on the stone platform. Runes on the ginseng's body were slowly rotating, and each of these runes was releasing a divine power fluctuation so dense that it was almost tangible.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground around the stone platform.

Some were frozen into ice sculptures, some were burned into charcoal, some were pressed into meat patties, and some were cut into pieces.

They died in various ways, but none of them were intact.

The faces of the corpses were frozen in the terror of their last moments before death, as if they had been suddenly attacked by some force and didn't even have time to scream.

The horned giant's gaze fell on a figure behind the stone platform.

The figure sat cross-legged on the edge of the stone platform with its back to them, motionless.

That's a woman.

She was extremely thin, like a dried corpse that had been dried for a thousand years.

She wore a long robe of indeterminate color, and her long, gray and dry hair hung down from the top of her head.

Her hands were forming some kind of extremely complex mudra, and her fingertips glowed with a dark red light.

The rune on the crimson ginseng echoed her fingertips, as if it were being drawn by her hand seals.
