Su Yun said, "Everyone can see clearly, the muscles and bones of normal people are not like this. Can you achieve this by just practicing martial arts?

This guy is obviously already Mutation."

Having said this, Su Yun glanced at Cao Chun's body again and sneered, "There is such a thing standing next to me, and I still insist on checking Brother Deng. He is really a sorghum flower. No wonder he is like this."

As soon as these words came out, everyone responded.

"Exactly! Brother Deng is frank and honest, and he will be tested if asked. However, the man named Huang resists, and it is clear that there is something wrong in his mind!"

"Thanks to Brother Deng's high ability, otherwise I would not know how he would manipulate me if I fell into his hands."

"Cao Chun is also blind, leaving such people alone and believing in that thing that is neither human nor ghost!"

For a time, everyone shared the same hatred and began to think after the fact.

Deng Qing saw everyone's performance and guessed what these people were thinking, but did not reveal it.

Soon, his attention fell on the broken arm again.

He had always suspected Huang Bingyao Mutation, but now it was finally confirmed.

It's just that Mutation of Huang Bingyao is obviously more controlled than Zhang Yan.

Thinking of Zhang Yan, Deng Qing's heart sank a little more. He cupped his hands at Xiao Jinglin and said, "Brother Xiao, please take a step to speak."

Xiao Jinglin nodded, told several guards to stay where they were, and followed Deng Qing to a Stone Pillar.

Deng Qing got straight to the point. "Brother Xiao has also seen the dangers here. So many things have happened before we have reached the depths. If we go further, it will only be more troublesome.

If Brother Xiao wants to leave, now is an opportunity.

After all, the reason you came in this time was to show your face in front of others, and you didn't have to go and nail Wasteland Veins yourself. Now that everyone has seen you come in, something happened to Cao Chun again, and everyone scattered. Brother Xiao took advantage of the situation and retreated, and no one could say anything."

Xiao Jinglin cupped his hands and said, "Brother Deng can say this, Xiao appreciates it."

However, it is rare for me to enter a place like this, and I also want to see what is hidden in the depths of this Nameless Divine Temple.

After all, as soon as I came in, I saw a few old squares and the poor performance of Cao Chun. When I got home and thought about it, I was afraid I would not give up.

Of course, these are all secondary.

Mainly because of Brother Deng's ability, I have learned a lesson today. Right now, Furnace Realm strong people can't get in. From my perspective, I don't think there are Bone-Forging Realm strong people who can threaten Brother Deng.

With Brother Deng's ability, I have nothing to be afraid of standing next to you. I will definitely take advantage of this shamelessly."

Xiao Jinglin comes from a noble family and has a natural ability to treat others. His compliments were of a very high artistic level and Deng Qing was very happy to hear them.

Deng Qing nodded and said, "In that case, let's go together.

However, I still have some things of my own to take care of. When necessary, I'm afraid I'll have to act alone, and I may not be able to walk with Brother Xiao all the time."

Xiao Jinglin said with cupped hands, "Brother Deng is willing to take care of you along the way. It is already a favor. How can Xiao delay Brother Deng's affairs because of this? When the time comes, just go ahead and do it, I will make other arrangements."

Deng Qing nodded and returned with him.

Su Yun and others are still waiting where they were.

In addition to the few guards of the Xiao Family, seven or eight Martial Artist gathered together and were whispering something.

Seeing the two people coming back, everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at Deng Qing.

Su Yun stepped forward and said, "Brother Deng, we just discussed it. The situation here is unknown. Donghuang Cult's people are moving around again, walking around randomly. I'm afraid it's hard to keep everything safe."

What you all mean is that you want to go together with Brother Deng so that we can take care of each other when things happen."

Obviously, Xiao Jinglin is not the only smart person.

A short-bearded man immediately handed over his hand. "What Brother Su said is exactly what we mean. Brother Deng is very capable and courageous. We are willing to listen to Brother Deng's orders."

"Yes, since we are traveling together, there must be someone who can make decisions. If Brother Deng is willing to take the lead, I won't have a problem with it."

"That's what I mean too."

Everyone responded one after another.

Deng Qing said, "If you are willing to go with us, I will naturally welcome you. However, the Zhang Yan who was just taken away by Donghuang Cult is me, Senior Brother."

He was poisoned by Donghuang Cult and became like that. I can't ignore him.

Next, I plan to follow the direction Donghuang Cult retreated and try to rescue him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

You can go treasure hunting together, but taking the initiative to look for Donghuang Cult's bad luck requires taking risks, and naturally no one is willing to do so.

Deng Qing saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and continued, "This matter is dangerous and it is also my private matter. I won't bother you to take action."

Su Yun said, "Brother Deng spoke frankly, and Su didn't say anything else. Since we have decided to go together, we will follow Brother Deng's arrangements."

The short-bearded man also held up his hand and said, "Brother Deng is willing to talk about the matter in advance, so I have an idea in my mind. Let's go together now. If things really happen, it depends on personal choice. I don't want to just take advantage without doing anything."

Seeing this, the others also handed over their hands. "I am willing to listen to Brother Deng's instructions."

"As long as we are still together, we will listen to Brother Deng's orders."

Xiao Jinglin said, "You can make your own decisions about whether to stay or go. But there is one more thing that Xiao needs to remind you.

Everyone is aware of what happened today. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense and stir up trouble outside of the Divine Hall is an enemy of me, Xiao Jinglin, and also a grudge against Maoling Xiao Family."

Everyone responded quickly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, we will understand the severity."

"Director Cao was harmed by Huang Bingyao. We remember this clearly."

"This matter is also related to my family's life, who would be stupid enough to say nonsense."

The plan was settled, everyone packed up and headed towards the north corridor entrance.

Along the way, everyone was looking around, and the stone carvings along the way attracted the most attention.

Some of the stone carvings are engraved with large areas of vague text, occasionally with figures and reliefs of strange animals.

An epic feeling came over me.

After walking not long, the front suddenly opened up, and a huge square appeared in front of us.

The traces of the battle are obvious, with broken walls, collapsed Stone Pillar everywhere, and a lot of blood stains.

Su Yun knelt down and took a look, frowned and said, "It's human blood. Judging from the formation, it looks like a big battle was fought. What's strange is that there are no bodies on the ground."

Everyone held their weapons tightly and looked around cautiously.

Su Yun looked at Deng Qing, "Brother Deng, which way are we going?"

Deng Qing scanned around and had no clue.

He only knew that Donghuang Cult's people left through the north corridor. After exiting the north corridor, they lost their direction.

But at this moment, there are many corridors around the square, and the footprints on the ground are so messy that it is impossible to distinguish them.

Xiao Jinglin suddenly said, "Continue going north."

Su Yun asked, "How can you see it?"

Xiao Jinglin pointed at the ground and said, "Look, most of these bloodstains extend southward, and those bloody footprints also go southward.

His footsteps are so chaotic, he is probably running for his life. Judging from this, there may be something powerful to the north."

Su Yun said, "In this case, shouldn't it be even more important to avoid it?"

Xiao Jinglin smiled and said, "If you want peace and quiet, you should naturally go south. But we are here for work. Wherever there is movement, we will look for it.

At least go to the north and have a look, it's better than just picking a corridor here."

Deng Qing does not agree with Xiao Jinglin's analysis. It is a bit rough to conclude that there is something to the north based on just a few blood stains.

However, no better clues could be found for the time being.

"Let's continue exploring north."

At that moment, Deng Qing led the team to the north.

After leaving the square, we walked along a corridor for a while, and a large Stone Forest appeared in front of us.

I saw Stone Pillars scattered high and low and in different shapes.

Some are like giants standing in armor, and some are bent down on the ground, like evil beasts that choose people to devour...

Between Stone Pillar, there are criss-crossing roads. Not far along one road, the way ahead is blocked by a huge boulder.

Everyone was staring at Stone Forest, and Su Yun was preparing to climb to a high place to get a panoramic view. Suddenly, a voice came from the front.

"I remember this is it!"

"That's what you said just now. How many times have you reposted it?"

Before they finished speaking, the three people came out from behind a giant Stone Pillar. When they saw Deng Qing and others, they were all dumbfounded.

Deng Qing has an impression of these three faces. When Cao Chun called everyone together, they were also in the team.

At this moment, one of them's left arm was wrapped in torn clothing, and blood was still seeping out.

The other two were also in quite a mess, one had half of his clothes ripped off, and the other had even his hair loose.

Seeing Deng Qing and others clearly, the three people suddenly beamed with joy. Deng Qing and others were also very excited. At least they had a source of information.

After everyone said goodbye to each other, the tall and thin Martial Artist among the three said, "After we separated from the main force, we didn't go far when we bumped into a Wasteland Beast. That thing was very powerful. We didn't dare to fight head-on, so we had to hide here.

After hiding for a while, we heard no movement outside, so we wanted to go out. Who knew the terrain here would actually change!"

Everyone was startled when they heard this.

Xiao Jinglin said, "The terrain changes? This is really strange."

The tall and thin Martial Artist said anxiously, "We can't explain clearly either. You will understand later."

When he said this, everyone became even more confused.

Just as he was talking, one of them, Martial Artist, whose clothes were torn, asked, "Where is Director Cao? Where is the main force?"

This guy's name is Chen Jun, and he is obviously the leader among the three.

Su Yun said calmly, "This is the big army."

Chen Jun was stunned, and the other two people also looked confused.

Chen Jun said, "I know that a lot of people ran away, but you are not the only ones. Where is Cao Chun and Lao Huang? They also ran away?"

Su Yun said loudly, "Huang Bingyao colluded with Donghuang Cult and assassinated Director Cao! Later he also wanted to attack us. Fortunately, Brother Deng took action and beat him away, so we were able to survive."

That guy is running away now, so if you meet him in the future, you have to be careful."

Chen Jun The three people's eyes widened when they heard this.

How long had they left before Cao Chun died?

Or was he killed by Huang Bingyao?

Previously, these two people were so good that they were too fat to wear a pair of pants. In order to protect Huang Bingyao, Cao Chun did not even give Maoling Xiao Family face. How did it end up like this in a blink of an eye?

It doesn't make sense!

The three of you looked at me and I looked at you. They were filled with doubts and did not dare to answer the question.

Su Yun said, "What, don't believe it? Look what this is!"

As he spoke, he untied a cloth bag from behind, shook out the wrapping cloth, and pulled out a severed arm.

Deng Qing was shocked. When did this guy bring Huang Bingyao's arm?

Chen Jun and the other three were also startled by this bloody arm, but Su Yun had already used the tip of his sword to pick apart the muscles at the break and said separately, "This is Huang Bingyao's right arm. Brother Deng forced him to cut off one of his arms before he escaped. Look carefully, do you think the texture of this muscle looks like that of a normal person?"

Chen Jun The three of them came closer, and the more they looked at each other, the more horrified their faces became.

Su Yun continued to popularize science, Chen Jun and the other three could only nod.

In addition, the short-bearded man and others also followed up with additional testimonies, and the three Chen Jun also believed it.

Xiao Jinglin glanced at Su Yun and said to himself, this guy is really talented. He knows the power of public opinion and will spread it everywhere. He must make this matter solid.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this."

Xiao Jinglin looked at the three Chen Jun, "Are you three going to go with us, or find your own way?"

Chen Jun hurriedly said, "Of course I am with you all. We are all our own people. It is not easy for us to meet each other. There is no reason to separate."

The injured Martial Artist also said, "There are too many side roads in this damn place, and we just don't dare to wander in again."

The other person also nodded repeatedly.

"I can go with you, but there is something I need to talk about first."

With that said, Xiao Jinglin raised his hand towards Deng Qing, "Brother Deng makes the decision for our team. Since you plan to form a partnership, this rule cannot be changed."

Chen Jun The three of them looked at each other and agreed.

They had been wandering around Stone Forest for a long time, and finally met so many people. How could they still want to wander around alone? As for whose orders they listened to, even Mr. Xiao Family recognized them, so they had nothing to argue with.

The three people immediately bowed to Deng Qing and said, "I am willing to listen to my instructions." Deng Qing returned the salute.

The matter of partnership is settled here.

Su Yun wrapped the severed arm and carried it behind his back, saying, "The three of them just said that the terrain here will change. But do you still remember where the changes are most obvious?"

For example, the road that was originally open was suddenly cut off by Stone Pillar. Where is it?"

Chen Jun nodded, "Remember, we just got out from there."

Su Yun said, "Take us there and have a look."

Chen Jun agreed, turned around and led the way.

Everyone followed him through several rows of Stone Pillar and came to the center of the Stone Forest.

Here stands an extraordinarily thick Stone Pillar. The pillar is carved with an armored statue of a god, with one hand hanging by his side and the other holding the pagoda. It is very huge.

Chen Jun pointed at the tota god general and said, "That's it.

When we came here before, there was no Stone Pillar here, and the road next to it was still open.

Later, after going around for a while, it suddenly stood here, blocking the original road."

Everyone looked towards Su Yun.

Su Yun circled around Stone Pillar, squatted down, pushed aside the gravel accumulated at the bottom, and touched along several lines.

Immediately, he bit his index finger and smeared blood into one of the grooves.

As soon as the blood was applied, it seeped out cleanly.

The next moment, a glimmer of light traveled along the concave pattern, and within a few breaths, the entire tota statue lit up.

Everyone was amazed.

Deng Qing took advantage of the situation and said, "Brother Su's family background is steeped in education. His grandfather is a master of Wasteland Studies's family. We have to ask Brother Su for advice on the knowledge here."

"I see, that's disrespectful."

"No wonder Brother Su saw the key point at a glance."

Everyone said a few polite words, but Su Yun didn't bother to reply and had already put his arms around Stone Pillar.
