Chapter 2526

One day later, Yang Kai, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, “Here it comes！”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoxi quickly put away the void in her hand, then stood up and looked into the distance.

In the distance ahead, a figure was quickly galloping towards this side, constantly looking around as if searching for something.

Yang Kai released a little Divine will to give some guidance and the man immediately felt it and rushed towards this place.

In a short while, Old Foreman appeared in front of Yang Kai and said with a bow, “Sorry to have kept little brother waiting.”

“Foreman is too polite,” Yang Kai returned the greeting. “This trip will trouble Foreman.”

Old Foreman smiled slightly and said, “Don’t worry. With me leading the way, I guarantee that you can safely enter the ancient land.” When he said this, his face was filled with thick confidence, which was completely different from his submissive appearance when he was taught and beaten by the girl in red yesterday.

Yang Kai nodded secretly, feeling that Pi San’s introduction was correct. Although this Old Foreman’s cultivation was not so good, he definitely mastered a safe passage to enter and exit the ancient land, or knew some rules. Otherwise, with his cultivation, how could he have such a confident performance.

“Before entering the ancient land, both of you refine this thing first,” Old Foreman said, and handed something to Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi.

Yang Kai took it and found that what he gave him was something similar to a sound bead, but it was not quite the same as an ordinary sound bead, and the refining method was also extremely rough. It didn’t look like it was made by a professional weapon refiner, as if someone casually refined it with some materials.

“What is this？” Yang Kai looked at him suspiciously.

Old Ban explained, “The passage to the ancient land is filled with strange fog. That strange fog blocks the line of sight of divine thoughts. If there is no guiding object inside, it is very easy to get separated and then get lost in it and not be able to find the way out. This is a communication bead refined by this old man with the unique Gui Armor Stone in the passage. It can sense each other’s position and is not affected by the strange fog. After the two of you refine it, you can detect the movement of this old man in the strange fog. However, the sensing distance is only thirty zhang. At that time, you just need to follow closely behind me.”

Yang Kai understood and nodded, saying, “Alright！”

Immediately. He and Zhang Ruoxi began to refine the Gui Armor Bead.

This thing was not difficult to refine. It only took less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, and Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi both completed the refinement. With a slight induction in the palm of their hands, they could indeed sense the positions of the other two Gui Armor Beads. It was extremely convenient.

Yang Kai knew that what Old Ban said was right. With this thing, it would be very difficult for him and Zhang Ruoxi to get separated from Old Ban.

“Since the two of you are ready, then let’s set off. Before leaving, this old man must remind you again that you must not leave this old man’s side for even a moment. Otherwise, once you get lost, it will be very difficult to get out.” Old Ban solemnly warned, for fear that Yang Kai would not take it seriously because of his profound cultivation. He also specifically gave an example and said, “More than thirty years ago, a strong person in the Emperor Respect Jing got lost in this strange fog and was lost for a full ten years.”

“Ten years！” Yang Kai was shocked.

Elder Ban nodded seriously and said, “That’s right.”

Zhang Ruoxi asked curiously, “How does Elder Ban know such a detailed time？”

A Emperor Senior Realm expert got lost in the strange fog for ten years. How could others know？ Even if Elder Ban knew the passage of this ancient land like the back of his hand, with his low strength, it was not certain that he could observe a person for ten years under the interference of the strange fog, right？

Zhang Ruoxi asked this not because she doubted him, but just out of curiosity.

Elder Ban said solemnly, “Because within those ten years, I met this person many times in the passage. Every time, this person wandered aimlessly in the passage, like a wandering soul. Several times, this old man was almost injured by this person. Fortunately, I ran fast.”

“So what was the final outcome of this person？” Zhang Ruoxi asked nervously.

Elder Ban shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Maybe she died in some part of the passage. Maybe she got out by chance. Since twenty years ago, I haven’t met this person again. However, it seems that because she was trapped for too long, her mind was a little unclear. But I vaguely noticed that she was a woman.”

“How pitiful！” Zhang Ruoxi sighed.

A woman. No matter how strong her strength was, she was still a woman. Trapped in the strange fog for nearly ten years, how did she spend these ten years？ Was she finally alive or dead？

If she was trapped in the passage for ten years, what would be the outcome？ Thinking of this, Zhang Ruoxi couldn’t help but shiver.

But this was ultimately an old story. When Old Ban mentioned it, he just wanted Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi to act seriously and didn’t have any other intentions.

“Don’t worry, Old Ban. We will definitely not leave you behind.” Yang Kai said in a deep voice.

“Good, then let’s set off.” Old Ban nodded, waved his hand, and flew towards the passage of the ancient land.

Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi followed closely behind.

During the one-day waiting time for Old Ban, Yang Kai also took the time to investigate the passage of this ancient land. This seemed to be the existence of a large canyon, with an unknown length and a width of about ten miles.

In the past few days, many martial artists have also entered the passage. Each of them looked confident and high-spirited, looking like they were going in to search for treasures. Among them were the red-clothed girls and Old Fu and others.

In the first twenty or so miles of the passage, the field of vision was still relatively open. Even though there was some strange fog, it didn’t affect the line of sight. But the deeper one went in, the thicker the fog became. When it reached fifty miles, it was already pitch-black and one couldn’t see one’s hand in front of one’s face.

When Yang Kai probed into it with his spiritual thoughts, he found that what he probed into was like a ball of extremely elastic cotton, which actually bounced back all of his spiritual thoughts, making it impossible for him to check in-depth and only able to detect a little distance.

He had long known that this strange fog was extremely strange. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have made so many martial artists in Desolate City turn pale at the mention of it.

Old Ban walked like flying and didn’t stop for a moment. In a short while, he had already advanced fifty miles.

By the time they reached here, the three of them had already delved deep into the area shrouded by the strange fog.

As soon as Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi entered, it was as if they had fallen into a bottomless deep sea. Within their field of vision, it was pitch black. Even their Divine Senses could only extend three zhang away from their bodies and could not detect any further.

Yang Kai was secretly shocked. He felt that nature was truly ingenious. Such a powerful natural restriction was simply beyond what human power could arrange. If such a strange fog were placed near a sect, it would definitely be equivalent to a sect-protecting great formation. Any person who dared to invade would probably get lost in it.

Although he was a First-Order Emperor Senior, his Divine Sense was no weaker than that of a Second-Order Emperor Senior. Even he was powerless against the strange fog here. In this entire Star Boundary, how many people could spy on the dangers and secrets within the strange fog？

Perhaps, only the Third-Order Emperor Senior powerhouses would have a different performance here.

As soon as he stepped into the area shrouded by the strange fog, Old Ban’s speed suddenly slowed down. He said in a deep voice, “You two must always pay attention to the reaction of the Gui Jia Pearl and detect the position of this old man to avoid getting separated.”

“Yes.” Zhang Ruoxi, who was following behind him, nodded heavily.

Actually, there was no need for him to remind them. The moment they entered the area of the strange fog, Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi had already tightly grasped the Gui Jia Pearl in their hands and released a wisp of Divine Sense into it.

In this way, with the guidance of the Gui Jia Pearl, even if they couldn’t see anything and their spiritual thoughts couldn’t detect too far, under the guidance of the Gui Jia Pearl, the two of them could closely follow behind Elder Ban.

Click click click…

Strange sounds came from beneath their feet, making one’s hair stand on end, as if something was being crushed.

Out of curiosity, Yang Kai released his spiritual thoughts to investigate. After seeing the situation beneath his feet, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Because on this ground, there were actually white bones everywhere. I don’t know how many dead bones were covering this place. The pale white broken bones had endured the wind and frost for a long time and were extremely brittle. As soon as one stepped on them, they would directly be crushed into powder.

Yang Kai quietly looked at Zhang Ruoxi and found that she didn’t seem too frightened. Although she was a little nervous, it wasn’t fear. Only then did he feel relieved.

Zhang Ruoxi’s adaptability was still very strong.

Elder Ban’s voice came from the front： “The passage to the ancient land. Throughout the ages, I don’t know how many heroes have died. This entire passage can almost be said to be paved with white bones. Countless martial artists above the Dao Source Realm have died here. After these people died, their flesh and blood disappeared, and their bones remained here. If their souls obtain an opportunity, they may not be wiped out. Coupled with the strange characteristics of the strange fog in this place, it is very easy to give birth to ghosts and evil spirits！”

Ghosts and evil spirits！” Zhang Ruoxi’s delicate body trembled, and she got goosebumps all over her body.”

She wasn’t overly afraid of stepping on the bones all over the ground, but upon hearing about the existence of some evil spirits and fierce ghosts, she was extremely scared.

Old Ban continued, “These evil spirits and fierce ghosts hide within the strange fog and will rush out from time to time to harm people. This is one of the three fatal dangers in the Ancient Realm Passage. Ordinary little ghosts are fine, but if one encounters a powerful Ghost General or Ghost Marshal, it will be extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover… at the center of the passage, there is also a Ghost King with terrifying strength! It is said to be transformed from the soul of a strong Emperor Two-layer Realm expert after death. Therefore anyone who has a slight understanding of this passage will walk along the side and definitely not enter the center.”

Just as Old Ban was speaking, Zhang Ruoxi suddenly let out a low cry as if she was frightened by something.

Immediately afterwards, her Source Power surged and she fiercely slapped her palm in a certain direction.

Energy surged and the momentum was terrifying. From the direction she attacked, a shrill and miserable cry suddenly came, extremely sharp and ear-piercing, like a baby crying at night.

Yang Kai released his Spiritual Mind to investigate the moment she took action and discovered that at some point, half a chi to her right, there was actually a strange energy. That energy was hidden in the strange fog and converged into a distorted human face looking at her, looking very curious.

But under Zhang Ruoxi’s strike, this distorted human face immediately became ferocious.

Old Ban’s expression changed and he shouted in a low voice, “There are evil spirits？”

His cultivation was the weakest, so even if he released his spiritual sense, it was suppressed not far from his side and he simply couldn’t detect the situation on Zhang Ruoxi’s side. He could only ask in this way.
