At the entrance of Xuanyuan Valley, there is a stone tablet covered with moss and engraved with the three ancient characters "Xuanyuan Valley".

I don't know the date of this stone tablet or who carved it. There is a deep crack between the characters "Xuan" and "Yuan".

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ting took the lead and entered the valley.

As soon as they entered Xuanyuan Valley, the concentration of miasma increased almost exponentially, and there was an indescribable fishy smell.

Just after taking a sip, Xiao Ting felt dizzy.

Xiao Ting hurriedly mobilized the soul energy all over his body to form a protective shield on the outside of his body to block the erosion of the miasma.

Others did the same thing, and suddenly, various colors of true energy formed on the outside of everyone's body, protecting everyone from being eroded by the miasma.

Xiao Ting thought for a while, and quietly transformed the colorful soul energy into glazed fire. The milky white glazed fire rose up from Xiao Ting's body, and immediately burned the miasma near him into nothingness. Xiao Ting discovered

, using glazed fire yourself is much more effective and consumes less than directly using soul energy to form a protective shield on the body surface.

This discovery made Xiao Ting's lips curl up slightly.

Xiao Ting and others were walking slowly in Xuanyuan Valley, looking for traces of the God-breaking Grass and the Seven-Orificed Exquisite Lotus. From time to time, he took out a map to look through it and marked it along the way to avoid getting lost.

The Xuanyuan Valley marked on the map is not big, but after Xiao Ting and the others entered, they found that there was a cave in Xuanyuan Valley. There were all kinds of strange flowers, plants and trees. Xiao Ting almost didn't recognize any of them. But strangely, there was still a kind of cave here.

Neither do animals.

Maybe it's because the miasma here is so dense that no animal can survive here for a long time?

Looking at the miasma all around, Xiao Ting felt a little worried.

They have been in the valley for more than an hour, but they have not found the God-breaking Grass and the Seven-Orificed Exquisite Lotus recorded in the bamboo slips at all. The terrain here is quite strange. They seem to have been going downhill and there seems to be no end to the valley.

The good news is that although the miasma here is very serious, it does not make people unable to defend themselves, and everyone can also absorb the essence of heaven and earth to replenish their own consumption.

, leading to a shortage of true energy in the body.

Everyone continued to move forward slowly, and at the same time they kept laying marks.

Gradually, Xiao Ting discovered that the shape of Xuanyuan Valley was like a gourd. And the entrance to Xuanyuan Valley was like a gourd mouth. They followed the gourd mouth and explored all the way inward. But this "gourd" was

Some of them extend diagonally downward, and I don’t know when I can reach the bottom of the gourd and its belly.

An hour and a half later, everyone found that the surrounding area was getting dark. The surrounding trees and plants also turned into something Xiao Ting recognized: bamboo.

Calculating the time, it should be ten o'clock in the evening.

Although the miasma that covered the sky almost completely blocked the sunlight, Xiao Ting and the others were still keenly aware of this.

Now there is a difficult problem before everyone: should we exit Xuanyuan Valley this night, or should we stay here for the night?

After Xiao Ting and Luo Fang discussed it, they prepared to rest where they were. Because it would be a waste of time to exit and then come in again.

So after discussion, everyone decided to divide into two shifts and take turns to rest.

At night, the cold wind in the valley is biting. It is hard to imagine that it is so warm during the day, but it is so cold at night. Even someone with a cultivation level in the late stage of Xiao Ting King Realm can feel the slightest chill.

And because the miasma in Xuanyuan Valley can already corrode soul power, after Xiao Ting entered Xuanyuan Valley, he took Bai Qi into the Soul Locking Hall, but naturally he did not lock him up, but let him freely in the lock.

Walking in the Soul Palace.

Of course, the area where Bai Qi can move is only that large.

Xiao Ting originally thought that the night would be spent peacefully, but something unexpected happened as expected.

After midnight, it was Xiao Ting and the other five people's turn to be on guard. At this time, the miasma in the valley suddenly changed!

The originally gray-white miasma suddenly became violent and rushed toward the alert people. Moreover, this time the miasma was obviously different from the previous one, and it eroded the body defense shield much faster. This change

, causing the expressions of everyone including Xiao Ting to change drastically.

If this continues, they will definitely be eroded by the miasma and poisoned to death because they have exhausted their true energy!

After such an incident, Luo Fang and others, who had just been replaced to rest, could not sit still and had no way to have a good rest.

In just a short time, the defense of the soldier with the lowest strength among the people was completely eroded by the miasma. He accidentally inhaled a breath of miasma, rolled his eyes and fainted.

Xiao Ting and others hurriedly protected him. After Luo Fang's investigation, they found that the sergeant seemed to have fallen into some kind of nightmare, causing his spirit to enter some kind of illusion and unable to wake up.

Xiao Ting said with a gloomy face: "Commander Luo, this place is too dangerous, we'd better get out first!"

Luo Fang also nodded solemnly, beckoning others to carry the unconscious sergeant on their backs, and prepared to walk out of the valley.

But after walking for a long time, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong. All the markers they had buried underground had disappeared. Without markers to guide them, they could hardly move in the Xuanyuan Valley where the visibility was less than three meters!

After walking for a long time, everyone found that they were always spinning in place. Not only that, the miasma around them was even stronger, almost completely eroding everyone. The body defense that everyone had worked so hard to support had gradually begun to show gaps, one after another.

After the sergeant exhausted the true energy in his body, he began to be eroded by the miasma and fell to the ground.

Although Xiao Ting is only at the peak of the King Realm, his body has been reshaped by Luo Xing, and his strength is much stronger than that of the ordinary King Realm. In addition, his Glazed Fire is inherently resistant to miasma and the like.

The poisonous gas has a certain restraining effect, so now only he and Luo Fang are left struggling to support it.

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Fang also exhausted his true energy and fell to the ground unconscious. Only Xiao Ting was left gritting his teeth and persisting.

While maintaining the glazed fire, he tried to communicate with Suosuo and Bai Qi in his heart, but what made his heart feel cold was that no matter how he called, the two of them seemed to be unable to hear and there was no response at all! The worst thing was that

, he was unable to control the Soul Locking Palace and took himself in, as if the connection between him and the Soul Locking Palace was completely severed here.

Just when Xiao Ting was feeling a little desperate, suddenly, an old voice appeared in his ears.

"It's been two thousand years, and you're finally here!"

Xiao Ting's face looked a little pale due to the consumption of soul energy. He turned around and looked behind him.
