Unfortunately, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and could only keep up.
The moment they entered the fork in the road, Gu Yuan frowned slightly.
The air seemed to become a little moist and a little fresher.
According to Gu Yuan's estimation, the two of them should have been at least a few hundred meters underground by now. No matter how good the ventilation was, the air quality wouldn't be too good. However, the air here was clearly different from before.
Unsure of what was going on, Gu Yuan took a few steps forward, wanting to ask the petite man if he felt the same way.
However, what shocked Gu Yuan was that no matter how much he increased his speed, he was still unable to catch up with the skinny man who was a few steps ahead!
"What's going on?!" Gu Yuan couldn't help but shout out, but the skinny man acted as if he didn't hear it and continued to walk forward step by step.
"There really is a problem." Gu Yuan's face sank and stopped on the spot. What surprised Gu Yuan was that the skinny man also stopped.
The opponent's movements seemed to be similar to his, as if he was a string puppet.
"What the hell is going on?"
At this moment, the fingers on Gu Yuan's left hand suddenly trembled. Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the illusion ring.
The Azure Stone Monkey that was kept in Gu Yuan's Fantasy ring all this time suddenly showed some movement, as if it wanted to express something to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan suddenly remembered the characteristics of the Azure Stone Monkey and quickly released him.
After the Azure Stone Monkey came out, it directly said to Gu Yuan with its mind: "It's poisonous! "Illusion!"
Gu Yuan was shocked and asked, "You mean I was poisoned? Everything in front of us is just an illusion. "
The Azure Stone Monkey nodded, and at the same time, pointed its jade-like finger straight at Gu Yuan's forehead.
A cool feeling entered his forehead and flowed into his limbs and bones along Gu Yuan's forehead.
When he opened his eyes again, Gu Yuan found himself standing at the fork in the road. Not far ahead, the petite man was lying on the left side of the road. Half of his body was inside, while the other half was outside.
At this moment, Gu Yuan finally believed the skinny man's words. They might not have the trap mark in the treasury, otherwise, how would he fall for it?
After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan still went up and told the Azure Stone Monkey to wake the other person up.
The moment he opened his eyes, the skinny man jumped up abruptly and looked around in fear.
"It's alright, continue to lead the way."
The thin man was stunned. He stared at Gu Yuan for a while and seemed to have finally realized what had happened before.
Cold sweat broke out all over his body as he hurriedly stood up. However, he hesitated the moment he took a step forward.
Everything that had happened before still echoed in his mind. Honestly speaking, even though he was a person of the Netherworld Sect, he was still fearful of this strange and unpredictable Evil God's treasury.
Gu Yuan gave the skinny man a push and said, "Let's go. Since we're already here, there's no turning back."
The skinny man revealed a wry smile and said: "You're right, I never thought that after mixing in with the Netherworld Sect for so many years, and even more so killing countless people, I'm actually not as good as you in times of real danger."
Perhaps it was because he had thought things through, but the petite man no longer hesitated and resolutely walked towards the fork in the road.
Before him was still boundless darkness. Not long after, something changed.
"There is a stone room!" Gu Yuan and the thin man saw it at the same time, and the thin man couldn't help but let out a scream.
It was because of the dark illusions that caused people to feel pressured. Coupled with the danger that could appear at any time, they suddenly felt at ease when they saw the thin and weak man in the room.
Gu Yuan and the thin man carefully approached the stone room and found that it was very ordinary. There was no change in their surroundings. Only then did they carefully walk in.
The stone room was very clean. There was only a stone bed and a stone table.
It was worth noting that there were two small black porcelain bottles on top of the stone table.
Maybe it was because he had experienced the abnormality in the treasury before, or because of Gu Yuan's strength, but even though there was a hint of fanaticism in the skinny man's eyes, he did not go forward to get the bottle.
Seeing that the thin man was tactful, Gu Yuan did not say anything more. He went up to the two bottles and opened them one by one.
The moment the bottle was opened, a prompt was given by the system.
"Discovered Mysterious Spirit Pill. Absorbs 38,700 energy points."
"Discovered Mysterious Yin Dan, energy value of 83,000 points can be absorbed."
From the value of the pills, they did not seem to be particularly valuable. Gu Yuan was slightly disappointed and threw the two bottles of pills to the thin man.
The thin man quickly caught it. He carefully sniffed it and said, "It's just an ordinary pill. It's useless." With that, he looked at Gu Yuan, seemingly asking him how to distribute the items.
Gu Yuan was no longer interested in this amount of energy. Naturally, he didn't bother about it and said: "You keep it, let's continue moving forward."
After Gu Yuan walked out, the thin man seemed to be unwilling to give up. He searched around the stone chamber again until he found nothing abnormal. Then, he walked out unwillingly.
Although they triggered a few more traps along the way, none of them dealt any damage to Gu Yuan and Xiao Yanyu. The two of them arrived at the second fork in the road.
"How should I go this time?" Gu Yuan asked.
The thin man hesitated for a moment: "The map is useless now. We can only bet."
Gu Yuan thought about it and said, "Will the mirror you used before have any effect?"
The thin man shook his head and said, "That mirror can only open the hidden array at the location of the treasure trove. It might be able to crack some of the traps in the treasure trove, but it's unable to point us in the right direction."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Gu Yuan would not believe him, the skinny man took out the mirror and started using his Dharmic powers in front of Gu Yuan.
The mirror changed and a black light shot out as before, hitting the wall but it was useless in guiding the way.
Gu Yuan was slightly disappointed and said, "Let's go to the left."
The thin man nodded and the two of them disappeared into the passage on the left again.
Weng ~
Almost the instant the two of them disappeared into the left passageway, the original two forks in the road disappeared at the same time.
When he looked again, there was no sign of the fork in the road.
In the sky above the two of them, there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching them closely. Those eyes were ice-cold and filled with endless darkness and evil.
In the ice-cold passage, two lonely figures advanced like zombies. It was unknown when, but countless tiny black granules appeared in the air, continuously entering their bodies as they breathed.
The black granules seemed to be conscious. The moment they entered their bodies, they went along the meridians and adhered to them, gradually eroding their bodies.
Gu Yuan's face had turned pale. What was even more horrifying was that there was no longer any whites in his eyes. Instead, all of them had turned pitch black!
The skinny man on the other side was the same, his expression even more ferocious. He looked like a hungry zombie ready to devour anyone.
After an unknown period of time, a majestic underground palace gradually appeared in front of the two of them.2
