Ling Xuan's eyes flickered for a moment as he looked at the giant silver eagle in front of him.
It wasn't the first time. Every time she looked into the eyes of this giant silver eagle, she felt like she wasn't interacting with an eagle, but with a living youth.
Because the expression in those eyes was too similar to a human's. It wasn't a gaze that a spirit beast should have.
After all, no matter how intelligent a spirit beast was, even if it was a divine beast, their temperament was different from humans. It was an indescribable difference.
That kind of gaze, that kind of gaze that contained gentleness, love, heartache, and protection, was definitely not something a divine beast should have.
You … Who are you?
Amidst the cool breeze, the witch's cold face suddenly had a faint, almost invisible red halo.
"Are you alright?"
As if it sensed the fluctuation in Ling Xuan's eyes, the giant silver eagle transmitted a message.
Ling Xuan froze for a moment, then his expression returned to its original cold state. However, when he looked at the giant eagle again, there was a touch of gentleness in his eyes. "It's fine, don't worry."
When he turned around, he realized that everyone had already walked out of the mental demon illusion.
Lan Xuan, Xiong Tian Gang, and the Nefarious Bone Old Man silently sat cross-legged on a tall rock, circulating their energy to recover. All of them had a trace of exhaustion on their faces. It was obvious that they had suffered quite a blow from the mental demon illusion.
After looking around a few times, Ling Xuan didn't see the graceful figure of the black-clothed beauty, Xie Xueyun. His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a rare trace of surprise in his voice. "Xie Xueyun didn't come out?"
"No." Xiong Tian Gang shook his head slightly, and a trace of depression appeared on his honest face. "The rule of this Ghost Prairie is that if you don't come out after staying in the mental demon space for 24 hours, then you'll never be able to come out again. We originally thought that you wouldn't be able to come out, but we didn't expect you to break through at the last moment. Now that 24 hours have passed, I'm afraid that Senior Sister Xie … "
Ling Xuan's gaze froze. Lan Xuan and the Nefarious Bone Old Man also sighed and shook their heads helplessly.
In this world, there would always be some people who would not always be able to live a smooth life. Truth be told, when they decided to explore the Yin Mountain Secret World, they had more or less come to a realization. After all, no one could tell what this Secret World that had been sealed for countless years contained. Any place could become a place of despair that could devour lives.
And this time, Xie Xueyun might really be trapped in the Heart Demon Space, unable to walk out.
Everyone rested for a while before continuing into the Yinshan Secret Plane. In truth, it was normal for people to die while exploring ancient ruins. Thus, everyone quickly composed themselves.
The Yin Grass Prairie was extremely vast, boundless and boundless.
However, ever since everyone walked out of the mental demons' illusions, they seemed to have gained a hint of understanding in their hearts. They very consciously walked in a certain direction.
After traveling for about half a day, a huge black copper plate suddenly appeared in the center of the vast grassland. Everyone's gaze paused, and they instantly became excited.
Looking down from the sky, one could see that a piece of land with a radius of more than a few thousand feet was completely occupied by a circular black board.
The black plate seemed to be forged from ancient bronze. The dark green copper was extremely dense and hard. This copper plate was extremely large, about one meter tall, and its surface was covered with fine ancient runes and talismans.
At first glance, this copper plate seemed to be the base of a building.
The copper plate was divided into nine evenly proportioned areas from the center. Each area had a ferocious bone carving that emitted a cold white light under the sunlight.
At this moment, there were already three people waiting on the copper plate. They were the silver-haired man, Zi Xi, and the Evil Monk that they had met at the end of the Yin Wind Path.
The three powerhouses sat cross-legged, each occupying an area on the copper plate. They seemed to be waiting for something.
Seeing this scene from afar, Xiong Tian Gang let out a long sigh. "We've finally arrived. The Yin Mountain Secret World's final and most mysterious checkpoint, the legendary Yin Emperor's ruins … Hell Book Pagoda!"
"What, pagoda?" Hearing Xiong Tian Gang's words, Lan Xuan's eyes widened. He looked around dumbly. "This is an endless grassland. There's only this huge copper plate in front of us. Where did this pagoda come from? I think this copper plate looks like the base of a pagoda. "
"Heh … Who said a pagoda has to go up floor by floor?" Hearing Lan Xuan's words, Xiong Tian Gang smiled and shook his head. "The Hell Book Pagoda I'm talking about is different from an ordinary pagoda. It goes down floor by floor."
Saying this, Xiong Tian Gang's eyes suddenly flashed with a blazing brilliance. "Legend has it that the Hell Book Pagoda has a total of eighteen floors. It matches the eighteen levels of hell in the Underworld. This pagoda was personally refined by the ancient Yin Emperor. It contains all of the ancient Yin Emperor's treasures. Even the legendary supreme divine item … the Yin Emperor's relic is sealed in the lowest level of the Hell Book Pagoda! "
"Yin Emperor's relic? Could there really be such a divine item? "
Lan Xuan's gaze paused for a moment and immediately revealed a hint of excitement.
However, when he turned to look at Evil Monk, the silver-haired man, and Zi Xi sitting on the copper plate with their eyes closed, he instantly became dejected. "The grassland above the pagoda is already so difficult. The eighteen levels of hell … It definitely won't be that easy to go down! Otherwise, those three would've already gone down to fight for the Yin Emperor's secret treasure. Why would they stay here so obediently? "
"Did you notice the carvings of the nine white skeletons on this black copper plate?"
Xiong Tian Gang softly pointed at the huge copper plate. "According to my deduction, there are a total of nine white skeletons on this copper plate. The three great experts are each sitting on a statue. Therefore, we need nine people to fully activate the Hell Book Pagoda! Right now, the three of them and the four of us are only seven people. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the people behind us. "
As they spoke, everyone arrived in front of the huge copper plate. The closer they got to it, the more they could feel the boundless aura it emitted.
The copper plate occupied an area of several thousand feet. Although it looked like a 'foundation', the aura it emitted was incomparably vigorous and vast. Hell Book Pagoda! Right now, the three of them and the four of us are only seven people. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the people behind us. "
As they spoke, everyone arrived in front of the huge copper plate. The closer they got to it, the more they could feel the boundless aura it emitted.
