The road continued under their feet, becoming muddy as they went forward, and stinking swamps could be seen everywhere. In such an environment, there were lush trees and overgrown vines, and the route on the map had no reference value, so they had to open the way forward.

The speed of travel has slowed down a lot, and we must prevent anyone from falling into the swamp again.

Xie Zhongjun obviously lost confidence in Wang Xiangyang and asked Wang Xiangyang who was standing there comparing the map: "Do you know the road?"

Wang Xiangyang nodded and said with a grimace: "It is said to be correct, but after the last deep well explosion, the landscape in the sinkhole has undergone some changes. There were not so many swamps here in the past."

Zhang Chi looked around. Although the vegetation here was rich, it had a distinctive feature. There was not a trace of green in front of him, which made people feel lifeless. He quietly asked Cao Chengguang: "Old Cao, what the hell is this place?" If this time If Wang Xiangyang hadn't led the way, he would definitely have thought that Cao Chengguang was deliberately leading them into a trap.

Cao Chengguang said: "On the way to Blood Spirit Lake."

"Don't be careless with me, I'm talking about here."

Cao Chengguang said: "When the spiritual energy exploded for the first time, the explosion caused a subsidence here. Later, due to rain and accumulation of water, multiple barrier lakes were formed in this area. In an environment full of spiritual energy, the landform changes are different from the outside world. , geographical changes that take thousands of years in the outside world can be realized here in just a few years."

Zhang Chi thought of Netherworld Ruins because of Cao Chengguang's words. Time evolved so fast in Netherworld Ruins, probably because of the abundance of spiritual energy. The concentration of spiritual energy in the tiankeng was not as high as that of Netherworld Ruins, and it was not enough to create a time difference with the outside world.

Wang Xiangyang said: "We should go here." He pointed to the right front as he said.

Cao Chengguang couldn't help laughing, and everyone could hear the sarcasm in his laughter.

Xie Zhongjun said: "Old Cao, is there something wrong?"

Cao Chengguang said: "Wang Xiangyang, what hatred do you have against this group of people? Where do you want to lead them?"

Xie Zhongjun suddenly became suspicious. He looked at Wang Xiangyang coldly and said, "Are you sure you want to go here?"

Wang Xiangyang hesitated again: "That's indeed the guide on the map. In front is the Blood Spirit Lake."

Cao Chengguang said: "It's true that the front is Xueling Lake, but there is a difference between the north bank and the south bank. Everyone knows that the north of water is yang and the south of water is yin. Don't you understand? The dark side of Xueling Lake hides so much ferocity. Alien beasts, after the explosion in the deep well, those alien beasts were affected, and the threat increased several times. Do you want to lead everyone to death?"

Wang Xiangyang said: "No..." He took the map and came to Cao Chengguang to ask him for advice.

Cao Chengguang said: "It's not difficult to ask me to help, just take off this iron hat for me first."

Xie Zhongjun nodded. This is a forbidden psychic area. Cao Chengguang cannot use the Earth Escape Technique, and there is a collar around his neck. It doesn't hurt to take off his helmet.

Chu Jianghe went over to help Cao Chengguang take off his helmet. Cao Chengguang's head was finally freed after being imprisoned for many days. His face was covered with bruises and his hair was wet. He opened his hands, closed his eyes and took two strong breaths: " Now I finally understand that money and beauty are not important, but freedom is important." He pointed to his neck and said, "Take this off too."

Chu Jianghe looked at Xie Zhongjun, and Xie Zhongjun said, "I'm going to try harder. Do you want me to put the iron hat on you again?"

Cao Chengguang smiled and said: "That's not necessary." He reached out to ask for the map from Wang Xiangyang, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of searching for a sword based on the map. The topography here has undergone earth-shaking changes. Take this map.

Are you looking for something to use?"

He pointed behind him and said, "We have to go back."

Xie Zhongjun said with suspicion on his face: "Old Cao, if you dare to talk around in circles with me, I will never miss our old friendship again."

"You have an old relationship with me. You talk about benevolence and morality, but secretly you do things like male thieves and female prostitutes."

Xie Zhongjun's face dimmed after being scolded by Cao Chengguang, and just when he was about to explode, he heard Cao Chengguang say again: "Don't worry, you just want to use me to find Blood Spirit Lake, I will lead you honestly, I am not in the mood either

Just keep getting along with people like you."

Cao Chengguang walked in front to lead the way for everyone. Xie Zhongjun asked Zhang Chi and Chu Jianghe to follow closely and pay attention to Cao Chengguang to prevent him from doing tricks.

Zhang Chi felt that the atmosphere in the team was getting more and more weird. Xie Zhongjun came here with a purpose. Needless to say, Bai Xiaomi was able to use mimicry to transform into a motor and sneak into the team. As for Wang Xiangyang, he was also weird, even he could see it clearly.

How could the two old foxes Xie Zhongjun and Cao Chengguang not notice this?

It was not without reason that Cao Chengguang suddenly showed such cooperation. He was so eager to go to Blood Spirit Lake, unless in his heart, getting along with Xie Zhongjun was more uncomfortable than being locked up in Blood Spirit Lake.

Under the guidance of Cao Chengguang, everyone was not in danger. Cao Chengguang was very familiar with the landforms and could easily identify where the ground was and where the swamp was. This also proved that he deliberately did not remind Xiong Zhongyang and watched Xiong Zhongyang fall into the swamp. It can be seen from this that

Cao Chengguang has a strong desire for revenge. Those who have offended him will definitely take revenge when they find an opportunity. This is very similar to Xie Zhongjun. No wonder the two became friends when they were young.

Xie Zhongjun has always been suspicious of Cao Chengguang, but there is currently no better choice. He has followed Cao Chengguang around the lifeless forest for almost five hours, and there is still no sign of leaving the forest. Xie Zhongjun's patience is almost exhausted.

, when he was about to ask a question, the sound of waves suddenly came to his ears.

The sound of the waves was definitely not the sound of the wind blowing on the vegetation, but the sound of waves fighting against each other. The wind also became moist. After walking a few steps, I felt the cool rain and mist blowing in my face.

Because Zhang Chi was walking in front of the team, he first saw the lake between the trees. The red lake surface and black lake shore suddenly appeared before his eyes.

When we walked out of the forest, we saw this blood-colored lake. The wind and waves were very strong, and there was no bright color of life visible. This area was like a scar deep in the sinkhole, a scar that was still bleeding.

Xie Zhongjun's eyes were also covered with blood. He pursed his lips and clenched his fists.

Wang Xiangyang said: "This is the Blood Spirit Lake."

Cao Chengguang sneezed twice in succession and said, "We've arrived. Let's all wish ourselves well."

Xie Zhongjun walked alone to the black beach, took out a purple crystal rod from his backpack, waved his hand and inserted it into the beach. The purple crystal rod began to glow, and purple apertures expanded outward, looking like ripples in the lake.

Cao Chengguang said: "This is to summon the guards to lead us." After speaking, he shook his head and said: "Old Xie, it's useless. You want to use me to sneak into the Blood Spirit Lake. It's just a wishful thinking. I'm not qualified." What he said.

Before he finished speaking, he saw black sand surging around the purple crystal rod, as if a pot was boiling.

Xie Zhongjun retreated back into the team. At this moment, black sand was rising upwards. The black sand gathered into an arc and formed a circle in the air.

Zhang Chi said: "Is that a teleportation array?"

Cao Chengguang said: "I do have some discernment."

Although Zhang Chi seemed surprised on the surface, he had also learned a lot about the mysteries of teleportation arrays under Qin Junqing's guidance during this period. As Mr. Qin's adopted son, it was not surprising that Xie Zhongjun, as Mr. Qin's adopted son, knew about teleportation arrays.

More and more black sand gathered in the air, forming a complete black circle. This circle rotated counterclockwise, and the purple light became more and more intense. Black mist filled the circle, and it was unknown where it was leading.

Xie Zhongjun said: "Who will go in first?"

Wang Xiangyang said: "Me!"

Xie Zhongjun smiled and said: "You are responsible for leading the way, so naturally you invite me first."

Wang Xiangyang walked into the portal without hesitation. His figure was shrouded in black mist and disappeared instantly.

Xie Zhongjun turned his attention to Cao Chengguang. Cao Chengguang shook his head and said, "I'll forget it. I brought you here and it's of no use to you. So what if you let me go?"

Xie Zhongjun winked, and Chu Jianghe picked up Cao Chengguang, threw him in with a strong swing, and then rushed into the portal.

Zhang Chi smiled and said to Xie Zhongjun: "Master, how about I serve as the queen?"

Xie Zhongjun patted his chest, his meaning was obvious.

Zhang Chi made a move to invite Bai Xiaomi first. Although Bai Xiaomi now looks like a blond man, Zhang Chi believes that she is still a woman after all, and the etiquette of ladies inviting first must be paid attention to. Bai Xiaomi was worried about exposing his flaws, so he entered first.

Portal.

Zhang Chi followed later.

This is not the first time Zhang Daxian has experienced the teleportation array, but this time it is different from the past. After entering, his body quickly started to spin. It is no exaggeration to say that it was spinning like a top. It took an unknown number of turns before it was centrifuged.

Throw it out.

Zhang Chi looked intently, only to see a mountain of knives shining with cold light below. Even though Immortal Zhang was refining his body with real fire, he felt frightened from the bottom of his heart when he pounced directly on the mountain of knives from a high place. He let out a scream and closed his eyes.

, adjust your posture in the air, and strive to land with the face with the strongest defense. You really don’t have that much confidence in other parts of your body.

The face hit it, but it felt soft. The mountain of swords I saw just now was an illusion. In reality, the face hit Bai Xiaomi's butt, which made Bai Xiaomi shrink in pain, almost exposing his true body.

Zhang Chi climbed up from Bai Xiaomi's body and saw that Bai Xiaomi's facial muscles were twisted in pain. He bit his lip and tried not to make a sound. The bump he just made was really not light.

They saw a black vortex spinning above their heads, which should be the exit of the portal. Xie Zhongjun fell lightly from the portal, like a withered leaf, which was completely different from the relaxed and embarrassed figure.

Zhang Chi looked around at the darkness, but there were many team members.

Xie Zhongjun said loudly: "My Excellency, Xie Zhongjun, is here to perform escort missions this time." His voice echoed in the space, and it can be inferred that they should be in a fairly empty place.

Zhang Chi saw that Bai Xiaomi still couldn't get up from the ground, so he stretched out his hand to help her up. Bai Xiaomi frowned and clamped her legs. Seeing her legs clamped so tightly, Zhang Daxian was a little worried, whether the collision he just had would have

Give her a laceration.

Cao Chengguang Jiejie said with a smile: "No one, haha, thank you, Fatty, no one is paying attention to you."

A ray of light came in from the front, and someone pushed open a door. As the door opened, the place where they were became brighter. The white walls, white floors, and the same color scheme made it difficult to tell the difference.

The walls and floor seem to have entered a chaotic space.

An old man slowly walked into this space. Zhang Chi was shocked that this old man turned out to be Uncle Qin.

Qin Chunqiu, Qin Lao's brother, Qin Junyao's father, Bai Xiaomi's grandfather, Bai Wuya's father-in-law, Zhang Daxian sorted out all his social relationships in his mind. Could this be an unfathomable situation? Bai

Does Xiaomi know that her grandfather is here?

Bai Xiaomi was extremely excited when she saw her grandpa. She almost didn't say anything to acknowledge her grandpa, but remembering the situation she was in now, it was best to remain silent.

Xie Zhongjun bowed respectfully to Qin Chunqiu and said, "Hello, Mr. Qin, I have been ordered to escort the important prisoner."

Qin Chunqiu's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one. When his eyes met Bai Xiaomi's, Bai Xiaomi's heart was beating fast. Even Zhang Chi could feel the change in her mood. He sighed to himself, this girl is very good.

Eighty-nine were exposed.

However, Qin Chunqiu did not show anything unusual, as if he didn't know anyone. Finally, his eyes fell on Cao Chengguang's face and whispered: "He?"

Xie Zhongjun nodded.

Qin Chunqiu said: "What qualifications does a rat have to enter the Blood Spirit Lake? You are making too much of a fuss."

Xie Zhongjun said: "Mr. Yue's order."

Qin Chunqiu said: "Don't use her to pressure me. This is Blood Spirit Lake. It's my decision. Take this guy and leave quickly!" He turned around and prepared to leave.

Cao Chengguang smiled and said: "Did you hear that? I am not qualified to enter here at all. Take me away, take me away."
