After walking out of the Thousand Cave Mountain through the countless black holes, just as Xie Tian had guessed, the scene that appeared was that of countless strange spaces.
There were countless spaces, different terrains, different sceneries, and different sizes...
What was similar was that there were two towering mountains standing on the left and right sides of each space, limiting the name of the space to the word "valley".
The Qi Practitioner named Zhou Xi, who came from the Penglai Sea, had seen this kind of scenery for thousands of years and was tired of it.
But this time, he was sitting cross-legged on an inconspicuous stone block that had countless small holes in it, looking at the distant mountains in a daze.
He had thought that this was just an ordinary patrol like the Demons had been doing for thousands of years.
In this kind of patrol, there would be three situations —
First, he would encounter the Demons and be killed by the Demons.
Second, he would encounter the Demons and be lucky enough to escape.
Third, he would go out happily and return home safely.
But just now, Zhou Xi encountered the fourth situation that he had never encountered before —
The Demon Lieutenant team that he should have sensed didn't appear...
Instead, he met his own kind from the outside.
At that moment, he almost broke down and burst into tears.
After living in the Demons' territory for nearly three thousand years, he didn't know if he was still a human.
He also didn't know if his own kind, who lived in countless spaces like him, were human.
Only when he saw his own kind from the outside did he feel that even though he had done too many inhuman things, he was still a human in essence.
Once his identity was confirmed, his position was confirmed.
After standing in the perspective of a human again, what emerged in his heart was the hope that finally appeared after thousands of years of despair.
Except for those who had truly abandoned their human identity and become the Demons' lackeys in the past three thousand years, everyone wanted to leave this damned place.
Now that the people from the outside had come, it was tantamount to opening the passage of hope to leave.
But...
"Will I die if I don't say that I'm a scavenger..."
Thinking of the words that little Daozu had said, which instantly made him fall from hope into the abyss of despair, Zhou Xi's heart was as bitter as his mouth.
What was a scavenger?
They were the people who lived at the bottom of the Human-Demon Battlefield.
Their only purpose was to sneak around like rats on the street and pick up some human soldiers who had not died yet. Then, they would ask for some rewards from the humans.
From a slightly more rational point of view, scavengers were not even considered humans. They were just parasites on the Human-Demon Battlefield, using benefits to forcibly bind themselves to the human side.
Putting all these aside …
"A first-stage Dao Breaking cultivator, and a half-step Heaven's Equal …"
Looking at the misty mountain boundary, Zhou Xi was in a daze for an unknown amount of time before he muttered softly.
"How did they get here …"
This was not a question.
Instead, he sighed with emotion.
This was a sigh that stemmed from his lack of confidence in his opponent's strength.
Because he did not care how two scavengers of such strength passed through the Thousand Cave Mountain and saw him.
The only thing he cared about was whether the other party could bring them, who were still considered humans, out of this damned place.
Obviously, that was impossible.
In that instant, his heart was filled with raging fury.
He felt that the Heavens had sent these two fellows to him for only one purpose, and that was to torture him.
In that instant, his heart was filled with surging killing intent.
He felt that if he did not kill this scavenger, he would be letting down his nearly 3,000 years of hard work.
In that instant, his heart was filled with the pity that humans had for their own kind.
Therefore, the word "scram" was completely out of his good intentions.
He only hoped that when his hopes were completely dashed, the other party would still be blessed by the Heavens and leave this place where scavengers were not allowed to survive at all — —
After all, even if they wanted to become the Demons' lackeys, they were not qualified.
Zhou Xi thought for a long time and looked at the mountain for a long time.
Until his state of mind calmed down …
Only when he was sure that there were no traces of anyone following him did he jump away from the inconspicuous rock and hop into the distance.
It seemed that his hopping was a bit mysterious.
It was as if every landing point was a result of thousands of attempts and countless flesh and blood tests.
As a result, his landing point was precise and had a trace of beauty to it.
When Zhou Xi's companions saw this extremely beautiful hopping, it had been more than a month since Zhou Xi squatted on the rock in a daze.
This made the few sergeants hiding in a secret place, who were even more inhuman, heave a long sigh of relief.
"The Demons are not here yet …"
"Thanks to Zhou Xi …"
"Yeah, he's the only one who can master this route. If it's anyone else …"
"He's been the scout six times in a row. This time, it's his turn to rest!"
…
As the sergeants talked, they could not help but look at the person standing in front of them.
This person's background was not small.
After the war three thousand years ago, their respective teams were completely scattered by the Demons. Fortunately, this person led the team, and more than two hundred of them escaped to this place.
But good times did not last long …
In the years that followed, more than two hundred people either died, went crazy, or gave up their perseverance and became the Demons' lackeys.
Now, including Zhou Xi, who was out as a scout, their team only had a few dozen people.
And now, among the dozens of them, there were only two people left who could still go to the mountain route to the Thousand Caves. One was Zhou Xi, and the other was the person in front of them.
However, this person was not small. In the beginning, he occasionally served as a scout, but recently, he was completely replaced by Zhou Xi.
Therefore, if they wanted Zhou Xi to rest, this person had to agree.
But this person did not nod. Even when Zhou Xi came in front of him and cupped his fists to report, he did not nod. His expressionless face gave birth to a thick coldness out of nowhere.
"What's the situation?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xi immediately began to report the information he had obtained.
The information was the same as before, but when he reached the end, he hesitated for a moment.
In this moment of hesitation, all the soldiers stood up at the same time with a whoosh in their hearts!
"Don't worry, it's not the Demons." Seeing this, Zhou Xi secretly sighed and immediately said, "On the way, I met two people who claimed to be scavengers …"
"What!"
"People!"
"From the outside?"
"Impossible, impossible, it's been three thousand years. If they came earlier, they would have come a long time ago …"
"Yes, the Burning Sun Valley has long become the Demons' territory. How could those high and mighty people come for us, heh …"
"If only Senior Lu Feng didn't leave back then …"
…
When Zhou Xi repeatedly confirmed that the people he met were really from the outside, everyone became extremely excited.
Of course, this excitement came from completely ignoring the word scavengers.
They, who wanted to leave this place, would only think of the people from the outside as people who came to rescue them.
Except for the expressionless person.
"Scavengers?" The expressionless person looked at Zhou Xi and said coldly.
Facing such a sharp gaze, Zhou Xi did not dodge. He immediately nodded and said, "It's definitely scavengers, so I didn't let them come, but told them to get lost …"
"Turn around and look, is it the two of them?"
