There was no light in front of him, and he couldn’t see anything. Yan Tianhen leaned over his head and looked curiously. He was surprised and said, “Senior, it’s really good that you have brought this kind of thing.”
Yin Chongyue said, “Otherwise, do you really think that your Dage and I came here unprepared to court death?”
Lin Xuanzhi also looked at the map again. This map was a sketch of the Puluo Mountain period. Now the terrains had greatly changed, and many landmarks had almost completely disappeared. Although it had reference value, it couldn’t be relied on completely.
“We have to go down in the end. Let’s explore the way first.” Then Lin Xuanzhi turned to Hu Po and said, “Throw that rabbit down.”
In Hu Po’s mouth, there was a demonic rabbit that suddenly attacked them on the way. The rabbit was half dead, with a pair of scarlet eyes glaring at Hu Po. Hu Po came forward and spat the rabbit on the ground. But before it could get up and run away, he slapped the rabbit with one paw and threw it down.
The rabbit uttered a cry of horror, and they saw a thick vine soaring from below, leaving only a bloody mist in front of everyone where the rabbit used to be.
Everyone, “…”
Yin Nian swallowed hard, and said, “This damn… is a really good hunter.”
Taotian shivered and turned into a peach blossom branch, swiftly inserting itself in Lin Xuanzhi’s black hair. Along the way, he had already seen who the real boss was. Yan Tianhen glanced at the peach blossom, but he didn’t bother to pay attention to it at this time.
Yin Chongyue asked, “Can you see the cultivation level?”
Lin Xuanzhi replied, “It has a very strong force and fast reflexes. It’s at least Profound Realm. However, we can only see the power that these things display in the face of very weak enemies, so we can’t gauge its full power.”
Bai Yanqiu said, “These demonic vines are not one or two, but an uncountable number.”
Yan Tianhen asked, “How about using the swords to fly?”
Lin Xuanzhi refuted, “Who can guarantee that there will be nothing in the air?”
Yin Chongyue touched his chin and said, “Why don’t we test it out?”

All the vines were torn off, and a thick blood colored plant liquid gushed out. When it sprayed on the skin and flesh of the giant snake, it turned into the most corrosive liquid, and burned the body of the giant snake full of black pus holes. Then these vines seemed to be drained of life and softened. But immediately the second batch of vines rushed up to stab into the giant snake’s corroded wound. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of vines finally wrapped the giant snake into a huge cocoon. It couldn’t move at all. After a few shaking wails, the cocoon soon collapsed, as if it had been sucked dry, and in fact, the giant snake had indeed been sucked dry.
The vines ate all the essence of the giant snake, then retreated towards the mountain wall. Lin Xuanzhi and the others watched the giant snake, left with only a bloody skin, crashed down.
All this happened in an instant.
Everyone, “…”
Everyone fell silent again.
This was truly a world where the weak ate the strong, and there was still a big difference from the outside world. Yin Nian was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, swallowed with difficulty, and asked, “Do we really have to go down from here?”
Yin Umbrella answered, “Gege and I have already checked the surroundings. In any case, here should be the most suitable place to go down.”
Yin Nian asked, “Why?
Yin Umbrella replied, “Because the terrain is the lowest here, look over there–”
He pointed to the other side and said, “Don’t you see that over there is more than a hundred meters higher than this side?”
Yin Nian still had hope, “Even if it is a hundred meters higher, there won’t necessarily be as many demonic plants climbing on this cliff.”
The Yin Umbrella let Yin Nian try it by himself. In order to make Yin Nian give up, everyone followed Yin Nian and climbed to the peak with a little difficulty. They tried the same way and the results were the same, and everyone returned in defeat.
Just the man-eating plants that hung on the cliffs all year round were enough to stop the vast majority of people from their first adventure. However, it was also not a safe choice to stay here for a long time, because according to the observations of the umbrellas previously, although this Tomb of Youshan was perpetually shrouded in darkness, it was still affected by the passage of time. If a certain period of time passed, the demonic beasts and demons that had been petrified or buried in the ground would come back to life and indiscriminately attack any living creature. At that time, the Yin and Yang Umbrellas only survived by hiding inside the umbrella so that the monsters could not find any living creatures, and finally escaped.
Lin Xuanzhi’s soul plate space was the last layer of protection. Moreover, Lin Xuanzhi did not intend to use the soul plate, because the soul plate was a space that had been nourished by spiritual Qi for countless years and had been refined through an astronomical amount of primal essence. What it was most afraid of was a place full of evil spirits like this. If he used it here, the spiritual Qi inside would wither quickly, and all the mountains, rivers, and plants would be destroyed. Thus, it was a last resort.
Now that the matter had reached this point, they could either continue forward or turn back.
Lin Xuanzhi said, “If we want to go down, we must use some magical treasures.” Then he continued, “If anyone wants to leave, it is still not too late. If we actually descend, I am afraid there will be no turning back then.”
Bai Yanqiu shook his head. “Come on. We are already here. How can we go back empty-handed? I still want to see if there are any rare treasures in it that make my mother unable to put down the idea of coming to the Tomb of Youshan for her whole life.”
The Yin and Yang Umbrellas had a lifetime contract with Lin Xuanzhi, and the two tiger cubs belong to Yan Tianhen. Naturally they couldn’t run. Of course, Yin Chongyue would protect Yin Nian.
Everyone glanced at Taotian, who had joined the party inexplicably.
Taotian liked to make peaches when he was nervous. As soon as the peach appeared on his hand, he couldn’t help but take a few bites. This action looked very cute.
Bai Yanqiu looked at Taotian and said, “Taotian, the soil and air here are not suitable for you. If you want to go back, I will send you out.”
After a few more bites, Taotian shook his head vigorously and said, “I don’t want to go back. After I go back, I won’t have anyone to talk to. They just want to kidnap me or sell me. I won’t go back.”
Yin Nian threatened him and said, “Maybe you’ll lose your life if you go down with us. Did you see that giant snake just now? Maybe you’ll be just like that thing, and you’ll become a peach pit all of a sudden.”
Taotian’s eyes grew wide and as expected, gave a pair of frightened expressions. He immediately went to hide behind Bai Yanqiu.
Yin Chongyue gave a ‘Tut’, grabbed Yin Nian’s ear, and said, “Little rabbit, did I allow you to scare people? You’ve got guts now.”
Everyone agreed that since they had already nocked the arrow, they could not turn back. Whoever regretted would be a silly fool. So Lin Xuanzhi took out an array plate from his storage ring. The so-called array plate meant that countless layers of arrays had been engraved onto the plate, and they could choose whichever array they wanted to use.
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Let’s use the teleportation array and try to avoid these things.”
Yin Chongyue’s eyes brightened. “That’s a good idea. But how can you guarantee that there will be no monsters in the place where the teleportation array will land?”
Lin Xuanzhi glanced at him and said calmly, “That depends on luck. Besides, with our strength, some mobs can still be cleared.”
Yin Chongyue thought this method was good.
Yin Chongyue asked again, “Is this teleportation array reliable? Who made it?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Shuo Xue made it.”
Yin Chongyue nodded. “Then it is reliable.”
Shuo Xue was Reincarnation Palace’s Snow Envoy, and his skill for escaping was first-rate. The teleportation arrays he made were especially detailed and easy to use. Lin Xuanzhi drew out several teleportation arrays from the plate and placed them forward one by one. The arrays flashed a complex golden pattern in the air, and it disappeared before the man-eating plants could move. There was a nightmare plant that wanted to swallow it, but when it got there, it found that there was nothing, so it could only come back in defeat. The shorter the distance of the teleportation array, the faster the teleportation speed. Lin Xuanzhi did not hesitate to lay down dozens of teleportation arrays, which made others feel heartbroken at the expenditure.
The golden arrays flickered in the dark night, and when they reached below, Lin Xuanzhi could no longer see where the arrays were being placed anymore, but from time to time he could hear the roar and bite of wild beasts.
In dark places, where there was some light, it would be the most dazzling existence. When the last teleportation array was placed, Lin Xuanzhi slightly narrowed his eyes and said, “This cliff is at least ten thousand feet high. After we go down, coming up again will also be a problem.”
Yan Tianhen said, “Let’s go down first and talk about that problem later. I heard that the blood cypress tree can almost reach the sky. If we find the blood cypress tree, we may be able to come up by climbing the blood cypress.”
Yin Nian couldn’t help laughing. “You are too naive. The blood cypress tree is an ancient holy thing. After being buried here, you don’t know how many monsters have been nourished by it. Maybe those monsters are more terrifying than the ones here.”
“Don’t scare yourself,” Lin Xuanzhi said lightly.
Yan Tianhen pondered and said, “What Yin Nian said is reasonable. Dage, do you have any of these arrays left?”
Lin Xuanzhi took him by the hand and said, “Naturally. If I don’t do my best to prepare, how can I dare to bring you to this man-eating place?”
Bai Yanqiu saw Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen holding hands and raised his eyebrows slightly but did not say much. Some things were no longer important at this time.
The teleportation array had already been set. Lin Xuanzhi said, “In the teleportation array, no magical weapons or spiritual Qi can be used. I have placed a total of 32 teleportation arrays here. Everyone, count the number in your heart. When we arrive at the last teleportation array, remember to prepare the sharpest weapons in advance. I’m afraid we will have several tough battles to fight.”
Ah Bai and Hu Po had the strongest offensive power in their tiger cub forms, so they did not transform into human forms again. The Yin and Yang Umbrellas followed Lin Xuanzhi and made a protective appearance.
After completing the preparations, everyone stepped into the teleportation array under their feet.
