Lin Yang nodded slightly. "I didn't expect them to follow us."
Chapter 81: The Kunlun Divine Tree and the Corpse-Scented Devil's Flower that Has Become a Spirit!!!
Shirley Yang asked curiously, "Boss, who are you talking about?"
Lin Yang said, "An old acquaintance of ours."
Shirley Yang was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes.
And just then.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang had already cleaned up those annoying rats.
Suddenly, three figures appeared in everyone's sight.
Upon seeing who it was, Shirley Yang was stunned and exclaimed:
"Professor Chen? Chu Jian? Ye Yixin? What are you all doing here?"
Fatty Wang stared wide-eyed at the three of them, his face filled with disbelief.
He clearly remembered that the inn had been destroyed, and the three people should have been buried underground.
"Comrade Xiaolin, we've finally found you."
Professor Chen and his two companions became excited upon seeing Lin Yang and the others.
Shirley Yang looked at Professor Chen, puzzled, and asked, "Professor Chen, aren't you...?"
Professor Chen explained:
"We were originally supposed to meet you outside the city."
"But who knew that some noises would suddenly occur inside the ancient city of Jingjue."
“We were worried something had happened to you, so we rushed in.”
"Then, without realizing it, we saw a passage leading here inside a temple."
"I guessed that you must have entered here."
Chu Jian chimed in, "Yes, it took us ages to find this place."
Ye Yixin asked with a puzzled look, "Speaking of which, have you noticed anything amiss?"
Her words made Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang's hearts tighten.
The three looked at each other, a hint of inexplicable doubt flashing in their eyes.
"What the hell?" Hu Bayi couldn't help but mutter.
"Didn't we enter the Jingjue Ancient City together? How could this be..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shirley Yang suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed drastically:
"Could it be that the three of them who came in with us earlier were not Professor Chen and his companions?"
Fatty Wang also realized what was happening and stared wide-eyed at Professor Chen and the other two:
"No wonder, otherwise how could they have..."
Shirley Yang and the others clearly saw Professor Chen and the other two with their own eyes.
They were buried under the ruins of the inn.
How could it possibly be here again?
"Boss, what do we do now?" Shirley Yang asked in a low voice.
Lin Yang smiled slightly, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "What can we do? Just deal with it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from his body.
Immediately afterwards, an arc of electricity shot out from his body.
They attacked Professor Chen and his two companions directly.
"Comrade Xiaolin, what... what are you doing..."
Professor Chen's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he was about to back away.
But he was struck by an electric arc, and his entire body instantly turned into a bubble.
"Brother Lin!"
Chu Jian and Ye Yixin both screamed in terror at the same time.
But before they could react.
They were also struck by the electric arc and turned into two bubbles.
All of this happened so fast that Shirley Yang and the other two had no time to react.
By the time they came to their senses, Professor Chen and the other two had vanished without a trace.
"Boss, what exactly is going on?" Hu Bayi stepped forward and asked with a look of surprise and doubt.
Lin Yang pointed ahead: "They are all illusions, probably created by something."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I know there is a Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower in the underground palace of the Jingjue Ancient City."
"This plant can cause hallucinations."
"I reckon this Corpse Fragrance Amorphophallus has become a spirit."
"That's why its influence can cover the entire Jingjue Ancient City."
After hearing Lin Yang's explanation, Shirley Yang and the other two finally understood.
It turns out that everything they had seen before was an illusion, all caused by that Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower.
Lin Yang smiled, a profound look in his eyes:
"Since this Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower has chosen to set up an illusion here..."
"The coffin of the Queen of Jingjue must be not far from us."
He waved his hand and led the way deeper into this mysterious ancient city:
"Let's go, let's see what kind of charm this Queen Jingjue has."
The group followed closely behind, continuing their journey.
The treasures along the way were piled up like mountains, glittering and dazzling.
Fatty Wang stared wide-eyed, almost drooling.
He couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, but Lin Yang stopped him.
"Fatty, don't worry, all these treasures are ours."
Lin Yang smiled and waved his hand casually, and the treasures seemed to be drawn by an invisible force.
They all flew into his pawnshop number eight.
Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang were dumbfounded.
They had never seen such a magical sight.
The No. 8 Pawnshop is like a bottomless pit, capable of swallowing up any amount of treasure.
"Boss, how much stuff can your pawnshop number eight hold?" Fatty Wang asked curiously.
"Well, I'll tell you about that another time."
Lin Yang smiled mysteriously, offering no further explanation.
The group continued deeper into the ancient city and soon arrived at a bottomless cave.
A spiral staircase leads downwards from the cave entrance, leading to an unknown abyss.
"This should be the sacred ground of the Kingdom of Jue."
Shirley Yang looked at the hole in the ground in front of her and said thoughtfully:
"The name 'Ghost Cave Clan' likely originated from this place."
Fatty Wang stood in front of the burrow, peering down cautiously.
"Ghost Cave... Ghost Cave... Where does it lead down to?" he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Hu Bayi frowned as well. "This cave is unfathomably deep; it's probably not a safe place."
He looked at Lin Yang, "Boss, what do you think?"
Lin Yang explained:
"This ghost cave is related to the serpent god from ancient times."
"Legend has it that his remains were buried in the Ghost Cave at the foot of Mount Zaglama."
"Don't underestimate this snake god; it's a remarkable being."
He paused, then continued, "The Serpent God possesses two important legacies that are truly astonishing."
"One is the skeleton of the serpent god, which contains the magical power of transformation."
"It's as if I can create the world at will."
"Secondly, there is the giant eye, the Muchen Pearl, on the top of the snake's head."
"It is said to possess mysterious and unpredictable power."
Hu Bayi listened intently and couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, what's the deal with this ghost cave? What's its connection to the snake god?"
Lin Yang smiled slightly and explained:
"The Ghost Cave is actually an imaginary space created by the power of the illusory realm in the Snake God's brain."
"You can think of it as an illusion created by the power of the serpent god."
"Or it could be a gateway to another world."
The three of them were dumbfounded.
