Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue disappeared without a trace, and all the living maggots above the altar also disappeared, leaving only the fragments of maggots that splashed everywhere, filling the lake with the altar.

Afterwards, the white jade altar creaked, cracks appeared, and collapsed layer by layer.

As the fragments of the altar, large and small, collapsed, they continued to crack and disintegrate into smaller fragments.

It just kept disintegrating and collapsing. When the white jade altar finally collapsed completely, in the center of the stone hall, above the ground, there was only a pile of white jade powder mixed with countless maggot slurries, and there was no trace of the altar anymore.

At the same time, in the stone hall, a figure flashed, and Fa Liuli, who looked like a pretty girl, appeared out of thin air.

She frowned slightly, and with a sweep of her mind, she captured the remaining fluctuations after the space shift.

"Void Moving Array? This formation technique..."

Fa Liuli was thoughtful.

"Little Fahai and Xiao Mu were teleported away! Fortunately, little Fahai has the exorcism seal that I refined personally. Otherwise, the magic circle would self-destruct and mess up the cause and effect, and it would be really difficult to find them."

Fa Liuli looked at the pile of white jade powder. There seemed to be countless lights and shadows flickering in the hole.

In the blink of an eye, she "saw" where the exorcism seal was at this moment, and immediately took a step forward.

As she took this step, ripples suddenly appeared in the space in front of her, and then her entire figure seemed to melt into the void, suddenly dissolving and disappearing without a trace.

…

After a while, the world was spinning.

After coming back to his senses, Shen Lang found that he and Mu Qingxue had arrived in an empty grotto.

This grotto is not dark.

A river of lava flows slowly from a corner of the grotto, making the grotto extremely hot and bringing a little light to the grotto.

On the dome that is tens of feet high, there are also patches of luminous moss, blooming with a dull red light, reflecting the grotto like dusk under the bloody sunset.

The floor of the grotto is uneven, with huge stalagmites more than ten feet high, and a dark cave that seems bottomless at first glance and leads to nowhere.

There seem to be many dark caves above the dome of the grotto.

In some caves, there are also strange scarlet light spots flashing, like the eyes of some kind of creature.

While observing the environment, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue held each other's hands at the same time, and then said in unison:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"..."

After a strange silence.

Shen Lang said seriously:

"Master Mu, please take care of me as a man and your husband's mood."

Mu Qingxue is also very serious:

"Of course I know your courage and strength, but sometimes, we have to respect the facts. The fact now is that I am still stronger than you."

As she spoke, her two black gold wristbands flashed with purple light, flowing out of molten gold, quickly covering her whole body, turning into pieces of gold foil, connecting to each other, expanding, and in the blink of an eye she was donned with that gorgeous and mighty golden battle armor.

Shen Lang was speechless, took out the "White Dragon Armor" and put it on, and held the "Golden Dragon-Slaying Knife" in his hand - this knife had been charged by Mu Qingxue and could emit a forty-meter sword energy.

The power is equivalent to a full blow from Mu Qingxue when he was in the third level.

Seeing a lava river nearby, Shen Lang prepared the "Xuanyin Orb" and could activate it at any time.

Although his third-level flame enhancement allows him to persist in the lava for a moment, the fire-proof ability of the Xuanyin Orb is even more powerful than the third-level flame enhancement. With the orb on his head, he can wave freely in the lava, at least for one wave.

hour.

"Where are the little monsters? Why don't you ask them to come out and help?"

"The situation is unclear, so we have to keep a few tricks up our sleeves."

"Well, be careful, I feel like the smell here is not quite right."

As he was speaking, a vicious and hoarse voice suddenly came from a stalagmite in front of him:

"Mu Qingxue, Shen Lang... you have made us become like this. If I don't cut you into pieces today, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue followed the sound and saw two monsters that looked like skinned monkeys squatting on the stalagmite that was more than ten feet high.

They were only about three feet tall, with not an inch of skin on their entire bodies, exposing bloody muscles and tendons, with thick blood dripping down from them.

The blood seemed to be highly poisonous, and when it fell on the stalagmites, it made a sizzling and corrosive sound, and black smoke rose up.

Seeing the two skinned monkeys, Shen Lang's expression suddenly condensed:

"Blooded mandrill? How can there be a star abyss monster here?"

Shen Lang scanned a common sense book introducing monsters in the Xingyuan in the Sutra Collection Hall of the Taoist Monastery, so he recognized monsters like blood mandrills, which look like skinned monkeys.

There are strong and weak blood mandrills.

But even the weakest blood mandrill has the melee combat ability of a fourth-grade accomplished warrior, as well as weird innate magic.

However, even in the Star Abyss, blood mandrills are uncommon monsters. How come there are two of them here?

"We didn't fall into the star abyss, did we?"

Shen Lang asked Mu Qingxue in surprise.

"This is still the human world."

Mu Qingxue said firmly: "If it were Xingyuan, the omnipresent demonic energy would have begun to corrode us long ago."

Shen Lang nodded, looked at the two blood mandrills again, and asked:

"You are...Senior Brother and Sister Guo Xiaojing? How did you become like this?"

The slightly larger blood mandrill on the left roared violently, and stared at Shen Lang and Shen Lang with its dark eyes without a trace of white:

"You actually have the nerve to ask? If it weren't for your relentless pursuit, how could my brother and sister be forced to inhabit the corpse soul Gu? Do you know that once the soul is in the corpse soul Gu, we Will we live in the form of maggots for the rest of our lives? You have turned us into maggots!"

This blood mandrill was none other than Guo Xiaojing. When he was speaking, the slightly smaller blood mandrill next to him was whimpering and weeping tears of blood, eating away at the stalagmites and leaving streaks of green smoke.

Shen Lang suddenly said:

"That's it! You haven't turned into blood mandrills, you are still maggots, you just took over the bodies of these two blood mandrills!"

Guo Xiaojing said bitterly:

"Any flesh body, even the flesh body of the Star Abyss Demon, will immediately turn into a dead thing once it is occupied by the Corpse Soul Gu! We are just 'wearing' two corpses now, and they will soon rot...

"We have to keep changing our bodies, and no matter what body we change, we will not be able to smell, taste, or even touch... Do you know how painful this feeling is?"

Shen Lang spread his hands regretfully:

"It's really miserable to lose your sense of smell, taste, and touch. You lose most of the joy of life! I deeply regret this. But is it really appropriate for you to blame us? If you hadn't helped the tiger, how could you have fallen into this situation? Is this such a situation? Even when we went to arrest you and you were arrested, you wouldn't be in this situation, right?"

Guo Xiaojing smiled sadly:

"If you are captured without restraint, you will inevitably die! It is better to live than to die!"

"Then you are bringing it upon yourself and you cannot blame us." Shen Lang's face turned cold and he said calmly: "Where is this place? What is your purpose in bringing us here?"

Guo Xiaojing laughed strangely:

"This is where my master discovered the Four-Winged Demon Owl! Aren't you curious why there are blood mandrills here? Because this is the outpost of Xingyuan's penetration into the human world! Not only are there blood mandrills here, but also There are more and stronger Star Abyss monsters! Now that you are here, don’t even think about leaving again!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood mandrill next to him suddenly let out a sharp howl.

When the blood mandrills screamed, Mu Qingxue pointed out, and a golden light shot out, split into two, and shot into the foreheads of the two blood mandrills in an instant. However, the two blood mandrills crashed and turned into two masses of blood mist, hissing.

The howling did not stop, but came from another stalagmite.

It is the blood mandrill's innate magic, Blood Shadow Escape.

The "Blood Shadow Clone Technique" that the Spider Mother gave to Lin Meng, the boss of the Seven Spider Sisters, was developed based on the Blood Mandrill's "Blood Shadow Escape".

Mu Qingxue was about to chase two blood mandrills when bursts of ear-piercing howls suddenly came from the dome of the grotto.

Then groups of black shadows flew out of the cave on the dome and rushed down towards Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue.

Astonishingly, it was a huge bat with a wingspan of nearly ten feet, two thick hind legs, claws like eagle claws, and a ferocious human face.

"Human-Faced Bat!"

This is another kind of Star Abyss monster that likes to eat human blood and human souls. When it preys, it often sucks up all the blood and souls of living people in one breath.

This kind of monster is not as strong as the blood mandrill, and its hand-to-hand combat ability is basically equivalent to that of a fourth-grade entry-level warrior. However, when it appears, it will appear in groups, and it also has powerful sorcery. When surrounded by a group, warriors in the early and middle stages of the third-grade must be cautious.

If you are not careful, the boat may capsize.

At this moment, hundreds of human-faced bats swooped down, and while they were still in the air, they were already rushing towards the sinking waves, and Mu Qingxue let out a sharp scream.

When the whistling sound reached his ears, Shen Lang felt a turmoil in his soul, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Fortunately, his soul was strong and his magic resistance was also very strong. He woke up in just a moment, opened his mouth and roared without saying a word, and responded with a "lion's roar".

The golden ripples of the lion's roar blasted into the group of bats. The first few human-faced bats felt like they had been hit on the head with a sap, and they fell down whirling and bleeding from their seven orifices.

At the same time, Mu Qingxue also spread out her fingers and blasted a palm towards the sky. The invisible palm power shot out into the sky, and with a bang, more than a dozen human-faced bats were blown to pieces.

Groups of human-faced bats can threaten early to mid-level third-grade warriors.

But the problem is, here is a second-grade Gang Qi realm warrior...

Hundreds of human-faced bats can't help Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue, but there are not only two kinds of monsters in this devil's cave: blood mandrills and human-faced bats.

Just when Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue were facing the siege of human-faced bats.

From the bottomless caves on the ground, which lead to nowhere, suddenly jumped out of a black head, with a body like a leopard and a face like a jackal. The eyes were just two holes with black smoke constantly coming out, and the end of the tail was even longer.

A monster with a snake head.

"Shadow jackals! Be careful, they can sneak into the shadows!"

Before he finished speaking, a shadow jackal jumped out from the shadow at Mu Qingxue's feet and bit into Mu Qingxue's calf.
