One scream strangely turned into three screams. Outside the Dead Man's Cave, it was quiet.
"What's going on?"
"No, I don't know …"
"Is it an illusion?"
"But it can't be an illusion …"
…
Recalling the scene where she was tricked into the Evil Moon by Xie Tian, Ling Dang giggled and dispersed her doubts.
Even though she was a strong body cultivator, she still had a little bit of scheming.
Perhaps it was this little bit of scheming, coupled with the three Silver-level killers' underestimation of the enemy, that made what should have been one scream turn into three.
"But how are you going to survive in the future …"
Ling Dang shook her head and continued to walk toward the third entrance of the Dead Man Cave.
After passing the third entrance, she would be qualified to become a Silver-level disciple, and after a series of tests, she would have the privilege of choosing the deputy cave master.
For her, this was the only way to avoid the masters of the twelve small swords.
Soon, the killing slaves left. They were heading toward the forest that Xie Tian had passed through twice.
"What? That person is not dead, but the murderous coffin and the others are dead? "
"How is that possible!"
"Hmph, they must have underestimated the enemy …"
…
The group of Silver-level killers looked uncertain. They looked at the Dead Man Cave in the distance, but no one acted rashly.
The three had used their lives to tell them the price of underestimating the enemy. So, whether or not they had the intention to deal with Xie Tian, they all began to pay attention to Xie Tian.
"I didn't expect this body cultivator to have some skills …"
"The murderous coffin and the others were killed in a few breaths, and there was no movement …"
"Let's go back, there's still a long way to go. Let's wait until he comes out of the Dead Man Cave alive …"
"Should we tell the murderous coffin?"
"Heh, of course …"
…
Xie Tian did not know the reaction outside. At this moment, he was squatting in front of the first corpse, observing the changes of Frost Kill.
Strictly speaking, this was the first real trap he had set up, and the effect was very good. It easily killed the six Silver-level killers who underestimated the enemy.
Of course, the effect of the trap also surprised him.
Although he could have killed this person with one punch, the effort and accumulation behind the punch was far more than the energy he spent on Frost Kill.
"A mere method to set up a trap and sixteen materials could easily kill the Six Immortals, and they were the Underworld Cave's assassins who made people tremble in fear at the sound of their names …"
Xie Tian shook his head, dispelling the incredulity.
Following the activation of the Frost Slaughter Trap, the sixteen types of materials were all turned into scrap. There was only a five feet wide frost mark on the ground that was slowly dissipating.
After the trap was activated, he compared it with the explanation in the jade talisman and realized that there were many flaws.
"The combination of materials is not perfect, the technique is not, the technique is not used, and the technique is not used."
According to the jade talisman, there were two aspects to a trap's effectiveness. One was its concealment, and the other was its lethality.
"The Frost Slaughter I set up is indeed lethal, but it's far inferior to the Frost Slaughter I set up on the path. Moreover, if this person is slightly more vigilant, he might be able to discover the traces of the Frost Slaughter …"
"The Frost Kill I set is lethal, but it's not as good as the Frost Kill on the hundred-foot path. If this person is a little more vigilant, he might be able to find the traces of the Frost Kill …"
After looking at the three people's deaths and the traces of the trap, Xie Tian's understanding of traps improved.
"Concealment and lethality, these two are the true essence of traps …"
In his first battle in the Underworld Cave, not only did he easily defeat three opponents, but it also taught him a lesson.
Xie Qing was not omnipotent. At least, Xie Tian was very clear about one thing. He had only learned the Muye Cave's trap technique for half a day, so he dared not imagine how many tricks a mature killer from the Underworld Cave would have that Xie Qing could not detect.
"Such a terrifying killing technique, why doesn't the Muye Cave have any disciples …"
Xie Tian frowned slightly and thought of the person who sent him to the Underworld Cave.
"Not only did this person send me to the Underworld Cave, but he also appointed me to be the Muye Cave's disciple. What is his intention …"
Since he could not figure it out for the time being, Xie Tian suppressed his thoughts and began to look at the Dead Man's Cave.
When he saw the severed limbs and skulls on the walls and under his feet, an image appeared in his mind.
In the image, there was a large hand formed from the word "kill", crushing countless corpses into meat paste and forcefully building a hole in the ground …
Killing intent, murderous intent, death intent, evil intent … Apart from the dead, these were the only things that existed in the Dead Man's Cave.
Thinking of the cultivation method called "Killing Technique" in the beginning of the jade talisman, Xie Tian immediately understood the purpose of the Dead Man's Cave.
"Being in here, not only can one sharpen their killer intent, but they can also use the four energies to cultivate the Killing Technique …"
Xie Tian did not plan to cultivate the Killing Technique. Not to mention the restrictions of the Evil Emperor's cultivation method, he did not plan to turn himself into a killer for the sake of killing.
Even so, just by looking at the four energies in the Dead Man's Cave, he was well aware of how terrifying those who cultivated the Killing Technique were.
"If it were Martial Disciples who entered this cave, they might only be able to last for an hour …"
After an hour, even the six prodigies of the Kingdom of the Nine States would definitely have a mental breakdown. They would be corroded by the four energies and lose their rationality, becoming a killer of a different level.
This was the conclusion Xie Tian came to through his own experience of pain.
As he continued forward, he saw the occasional skeleton on the ground.
Looking at the badges beside the skeletons, he understood that these skeletons were all disciples of the Underworld Cave who had died because they could not withstand the corrosion of the four energies.
As if he had discovered something, Xie Tian's feet stopped and he squatted down.
Most of the skeletons in front of him had already merged with the Dead Man's Cave. It was as if all the people who died in the cave would become a part of the Dead Man's Cave.
However, in the next instant, his expression changed when he sensed the abnormality beneath his feet.
"They didn't merge with the Dead Man's Cave after they died. Rather, this merging had already begun with the corrosion of the four energies as soon as they entered the cave …"
After discovering this, he shortened the time that Martial Disciples and the others had to survive to fifteen minutes.
The Dead Man's Cave was built by the dead, but it was alive.
This was Xie Tian's most direct description of the Dead Man's Cave.
Xie Tian did not block out the pain brought by the corrosion of the four energies. This level of pain was completely bearable for him, and it would allow him to grow a little.
After encountering the twelve small swords, Xie Tian did not intend to let go of any chance of growth in the Underworld Cave.
Because for the first time, he knew that he would be killed without knowing why.
However, when he thought that he had to stay here for a month, he felt a little lonely.
So he moved his mind, and two people appeared beside him.
One was the original version of Half-Life, and the other was the Jin Dynasty Crown Prince Shen Feng.
Shen Feng also had a Fallen Horse Buddha Scorpion lying on his body, which was the Vile King who had not appeared for a long time.
"If you can't take it anymore, let me know."
After saying this to Half-Life, who was so scared that his hair was standing on end, Xie Tian looked at Shen Feng.
Thanks to the Vile King, Shen Feng had lived a miserable life in the past few years. After all, even Xie Tian could not stand being stung by a Fallen Horse Buddha Scorpion.
But this little pain was far from enough to appease Xie Tian's violent heart.
The Dead Man's Cave could be regarded as an extra meal for Shen Feng.
"Kill, kill me, I beg …"
After carefully looking at Shen Feng's expression, Xie Tian withdrew the Vile King with satisfaction. He passed a trace of pure golden Yuanyang to Shen Feng, and then continued to comprehend the hundreds of trap techniques in the jade talisman.
