I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

Spatial stability: 70%.

After the numbers popped up.

The spatial rift that had been hanging in front of the mountain gate has now completely stabilized.

More than three meters tall.

It is more than two meters wide.

Through the crack, you can clearly see the stone steps, ancient trees, and the row of lights that have just been turned on on the mountainside.

The first exploration team did not go in immediately.

Headquarters held them back for ten minutes.

Do only one thing.

Set rules.

It's not a large meeting.

Cheng Fang directly sent the temporary rules to all terminals in the preparation area.

Lin Ye glanced at it.

The content is not long.

In summary, there are four points.

First, don't eat, touch, or use things you don't understand.

Second, any discovery of spiritual herbs, spiritual stones, cultivation techniques, or spiritual artifacts should be registered. Whoever discovers them, deciphers them, or performs the corresponding meritorious service will have their contribution recorded.

Third, if you encounter a living person, communicate with them first.

Fourth, if the opposite side is indeed a sect or settlement, don't go up and take their things.

Finally, there's a note in bold.

[Unauthorized promises regarding land, resources, identity, or legal exemptions are prohibited.]

Lin Ye paused for two seconds on this sentence.

Cheng Fang happened to walk over.

"Did you understand?"

"Understand."

Lin Ye turned off the terminal.

"I'm afraid that once we go in, we'll run into an old man from two thousand years ago who will immediately claim that the entire capital used to belong to his family."

Cheng Fang glanced at him.

"If you really encounter someone like that, don't argue with them."

"I'm not that free."

"You'd better be."

At that moment, the information team next to them suddenly shouted.

"Three more were caught on the outskirts."

Several people looked up.

In the surveillance footage.

Three men were being held down by security personnel next to the construction access road.

One of them was carrying a hiking backpack.

Besides ropes and a drone, the bag also contained several metal sampling boxes.

Tang Zhi was speechless after reading it.

"Still dare to go in at a time like this?"

The staff quickly sent over the interrogation information.

It was not the Candlelight Gathering.

It's not a superpowered organization.

He's just an ordinary person.

Someone offered 200,000 yuan online.

Buy one kilogram of native soil from Xuanshan.

Tang Zhi remained silent for two seconds.

"...Two hundred thousand?"

"It just went up."

The staff then cut out another screenshot of the black market.

[Original soil from the mountainside: 200,000 yuan/kg.]

[Unknown spiritual plant: Starting price 2 million.]

[Complete antique artifacts inside: Price negotiable.]

[Stable entry path: 5 million.]

At the very bottom.

Some people even collected the internal lists of the first exploration team.

Lin Ye finished reading.

"Fast enough."

Cheng Fang's expression remained unchanged.

"So the rules are not set now, and it will be even more chaotic once we go inside."

This needs no explanation.

Even a single blade of grass can cause outsiders to breach the blockade.

Once inside, you'll see medicinal fields, spiritual springs, and mineral veins.

There are no more rules.

The one who goes mad first isn't necessarily the monster.

It could be a person.

Lin Ye looked down at the "Personal Contribution" column again.

Discover high-value resources.

Break the formation.

Eliminate high-risk targets.

Rescue.

Key intelligence.

All included.

He likes this one.

Previously, when I was on a mission.

Merit translates into bonuses and authority.

Things are different now.

In the future, these things may very well be able to be directly exchanged for cultivation resources.

Elixir.

Spirit stone.

Gongfa.

Even the qualification to enter a higher-level boundary zone.

This era has begun to revalue "becoming stronger".

"The first batch of targets has been changed."

Cheng Fang spoke.

"It was originally a reconnaissance mission."

"Now add one more."

"Confirm the identity of the living person inside."

Lin Ye looked up.

"What if there's more than one?"

"Then let's look at the quantity first."

"There are few people, let's talk."

"Too many people, retreat."

"What if we take action?"

Cheng Fang spoke in a very flat tone.

"If we can win, we'll fight while retreating."

There were no fancy words.

This was my first time entering a completely unknown ancient cave.

Bringing out the intelligence alive is more important than anything else.

soon.

The first batch of names has been finalized.

Cheng Fang.

Forest.

Qin Zhao.

Xu Mian.

The other two field staff.

Two technicians.

A medical worker.

Tang Zhi stayed outside as part of the second team.

She didn't waste any words.

He simply handed Cheng Fang a new roll of twine.

"If something really happens, run back."

Cheng Fang took it.

"Um."

Xu Mian had already slung the gun holster over her shoulder.

Qin Zhao finished checking the ammunition one last time.

Lin Ye then carefully put the Wanling Scripture back into his body.

"Ready?"

He asked in a low voice.

Wanling replied after a few seconds.

"Um."

The old man has been unusually quiet since just now.

Lin Ye knew what it was waiting for.

That mountain is a secret place for others.

It's different for it.

A sect from two thousand years ago.

living people.

The formation is still in operation.

These things are likely the last fragments left from that era.

6:07.

The first reconnaissance drone passed through a space rift.

The signal is normal.

The second one went in.

normal.

The location beacon has landed.

The coordinates are stable.

No attack.

The technical team has given final confirmation.

"You can enter through the passage."

Cheng Fang raised his hand.

"Walk."

The first field worker stepped in.

The figure appears to pass through a layer of water.

disappear.

the second.

The third.

It was Lin Ye's turn.

He stepped across the spatial rift.

The world fell silent instantly.

The helicopter behind us.

vehicle.

broadcast.

Human voices.

It's all gone.

All I could hear was the wind.

water.

Leaves rubbing together.

There is also a low, pervasive flow of spiritual energy.

Lin Ye's internal microcosmic orbit didn't even have time for him to actively circulate it.

I sped up on my own.

a circle.

Two laps.

It felt like my meridians were suddenly soaking in warm water.

The feeling was so obvious.

This is just standing here.

The cultivation efficiency is much higher than outside.

Lin Ye's eyes lit up immediately.

Wanling remained silent.

Until a few seconds later.

It uttered a single sentence in a low voice.

"Oh shit."

"That's what you call spiritual energy."

Cheng Fang turned around.

"What's wrong?"

"fine."

Lin Ye continued forward.

The stone steps lead all the way down into the woods.

Both lamps on either side were lit.

There was no putrid smell in the air.

There was no musty smell from being in a closed environment for a long time.

Instead, it has a very faint herbal scent.

This place is not a site of the dead.

It is still alive.

Walk to about fifty meters.

Lin Ye suddenly stopped.

In the woods ahead.

someone.

The figure that appeared in the surveillance footage just now.

This time there was no spatial separation.

The distance is less than 100 meters.

Young man.

He looked to be in his late twenties.

Her long hair was tied up.

A long, greyish-white robe.

A sword was hanging at his waist.

He stood at the end of the stone steps.

He did not draw his sword.

I'm just watching.

First, look at the protective gear Cheng Fang and his team are wearing.

Now look at the gun.

At last.

His gaze fell on Lin Ye's waist.

To be precise.

This is the location of the All Souls' Scripture.

All spirits fell silent instantly.

The man stared at it for a long time.

Finally, he spoke.

"Outside the mountain gate..."

"Which sect currently rules the world?"

No one answered immediately.

Cheng took a half step forward.

Prepare to communicate according to the plan.

But just then...

Lin Yeling suddenly caught another sound in his ears.

Not the man in front of me.

It's even further.

Behind the woods.

a bit.

Another one.

It's very light.

But there is more than one.

His eyes slowly changed.

There are still people inside.
