Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

Qin Zhen didn't know what would greet her.

But Qin Zhen knew that she had to do something.

Since I can't find a breakthrough, I might as well try another route. If that doesn't work... then I'll just knock out a way out myself.

Qin Zhen knew that this was very risky, but as she had said before, adventures are often accompanied by opportunities.

Not sure if it was because they were caught by this thing or because they were walking deeper and deeper into the fog, but Qin Zhen and Jing Xing were not transported back to the entrance of the secret realm by the fog.

It's so quiet in the fog.

It was so quiet that it felt like being in another world.

Even though Qin Zhen subconsciously held her breath, she could still clearly hear her own and Jing Xing's breathing.

The thing wasn't breathing.

Realizing this, Qin Zhen held Jingxing's hand a little tighter.

The fog dissipated.

But Qin Zhen found that the thing that had been pulling her hard just now suddenly disappeared.

If it weren't for the more obvious handprints left on her hands and the cold and gloomy air spreading in her body, Qin Zhen would have really regarded everything that had just happened as an illusion.

"Junior Sister, maybe we have come to the right place." Jing Xing suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen subconsciously followed Jing Xing's line of sight. When she saw this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Because what they saw before their eyes were no longer similar wastelands, but buildings.

only--

“It doesn’t seem to be a village?”

After all, there is only one building, and it looks very dilapidated.

"Go and have a look first."

Qin Zhen nodded, and then shook her hand that was tightly held by Jing Xing: "Brother, let me go first."

Upon hearing this, Jing Xing realized that he was still holding Qin Zhen's hand and quickly let go.

"Feel sorry."

"What's there to apologize for?" Qin Zhen didn't care. After responding, she took the initiative to walk towards the building.

As she got closer, Qin Zhen realized that this building was actually a——

"temple?"

Even though it is dilapidated and covered with cobwebs and dust, all the signs, from the tattered plaques to the cracked stone statues in the temple, indicate that this building is a temple.

Unfortunately, apart from the word "temple" on the plaque, which can still be vaguely discerned, the plaque in front has been damaged, and it is impossible to tell what temple it is.

Most of the temple has collapsed, with only the last two broken walls standing alone.

The furnishings in the temple were also hidden by the collapsed beams and walls, and only candlesticks similar to those near the altar could be seen.

Qin Zhen and Jing Xing walked into the temple, leaving several clear footprints on the thick dust.

Qin Zhen sighed helplessly, first bent down to straighten the incense burner that had fallen to the side, and then looked at the stone statue in the temple that had been eroded beyond recognition.

"Can you recognize what the statue is?" Qin Zhen asked Jing Xing who was approaching the stone statue.

Jingxing did not answer immediately, but first brushed away the dust off the stone statue with his hand.

Even though he didn't know what the statue was, Jingxing could still feel a hint of ethereal and clear air from this dilapidated temple.

Therefore, he maintained the necessary reverence and did not use any cleaning techniques, but instead wiped away the dust carefully and meticulously, bit by bit.

It’s a pity that it is very old and has been abandoned for too long.

The face of the stone statue is no longer recognizable.

Apart from--

"Little Junior Sister, look at His hands and feet."

"One arm and one leg, leaning backwards on its heel." Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment when she saw this. She seemed to know what this stone statue was.

No wonder the handprints on the back of her hands are different from those of humans.

Because the one who caught her was not a human, but a mandrill.

A kind of monster with a human face, long arms, black body and long hair, which looks like a child.

Why does the mandrill have a temple here? And why did it bring itself here?

There was also a lingering aura in the temple, which was clearly not some chaotic aura of spirits, but a very pure and ethereal aura close to that of gods.

More questions came to my mind.

but--

"Since there is still breath left, maybe we can ask God." Qin Zhen looked up at Jingxing and said.

Jing Xing looked at Qin Zhen in shock, then solemnly refused, "No, it's too dangerous."

"But we have no other choice now."

"Then don't take the things from the secret realm of the East China Sea." Jing Xing was firm.

"Second Brother, now it is no longer as simple as whether we want the things in this secret realm or not." Qin Zhen said softly.

"What do you mean?"

"Brother, you've probably noticed that the speed of time here is actually different from that outside. We keep repeating the same day here, and time won't move forward. We will never be able to wait until the secret realm closes."

Jing Xing had actually noticed this a long time ago, but because he didn't want Qin Zhen to panic, he didn't explain it.

He didn't expect Qin Zhen to be so perceptive.

"It's been three days, but we don't feel thirsty or hungry at all. Brother, you know that if this continues, something bad will happen, right?"

Jingxing didn't say anything.

But Qin Zhen knew that he had listened.

Then he added seriously, "This secret realm restricts your cultivation. Except for a few of you Jindan cultivators who have already practiced fasting, most people actually need to eat, and many people haven't realized it yet."

Just like a cultivator’s injuries will not be reset, hunger naturally won’t be reset either, but they cannot feel hunger or thirst.

This is a very dangerous signal.

I am afraid that many people will die of thirst or starvation without even realizing it."

Qin Zhen didn't know whether her expression was clear enough, but she knew Jing Xing was a smart man, and he would naturally think things through thoroughly as long as she pointed them out.

"And tired." Jing Xing was silent for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice.

This sentence was indeed a bit abrupt, and Qin Zhen was unable to react for a moment.

But the blankness was only a moment, and it was followed by the trembling of understanding.

They have never rested in these three days!

So much so that Qin Zhen even ignored this point.

They don't feel tired, but their bodies are constantly being consumed. If this continues...

It turns out that the secret place that looks so peaceful and seems to have no danger at all is actually full of dangers.

"Since you also know the danger, you should understand that it is better to take the initiative rather than wait passively."

"Okay, let's ask God." Jing Xing was not a shy person and made a decision quickly.

Qin Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

But Jing Xing suddenly said, "I'll ask God."

"Second Brother, no!" Qin Zhen never thought that things would turn out like this.

"why not?"

Qin Zhen knew that if she said it was too dangerous, Jing Xing would definitely say, "It is precisely because it is dangerous that we should let our senior brother go."

But Jingxing's true identity meant that he was more dangerous than ordinary people if he asked God.

and so--
