If I live forever, everyone thinks I am invincible

Chen Chang'an had always felt there was something wrong, and after arriving here, he became even more certain of this idea.

Someone deliberately leaked the information to attract more people to the Dongming Underground Palace, but what was their purpose in doing so?

With these questions in mind, Chen Chang'an and his group finally arrived at the end of the passage.

The moment I stepped out of the passage, it felt as if I had entered another space.

Where is the underground palace now? It's a completely new world.

The sky, the blazing sun, the dense jungle, and even the chirping of various insects in the jungle.

Seeing this, the people of the five clans also had puzzled expressions. How could the situation have changed so much?

Are mazes and underground palaces just meant to conceal this last true little world?

"I have a feeling we were tricked into coming here?"

"They even went so far as to eliminate the oppressive atmosphere of the underground palace just to lure us here?"

"Do we... have that much influence?"

"What's there to fool?"

It must be said that these people from the five tribes were quite self-aware, and their guess was correct; it was probably a scheme to lure them here.

But why they were tricked into coming here, no one knows yet.

"They come, the security."

"Since we've already come all this way, wouldn't it be a wasted trip if we just went back now?"

"And aren't you really curious about what secrets this place holds?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, the members of the five clans exchanged glances, then shook their heads without hesitation.

"Secrets are very appealing, but we're more afraid of dying."

"Elder Chen, are you really not planning to go back?"

"Uh...you guys don't even have this much courage?"

"Courage is good, but it depends on the situation. The road ahead is unknown, and there's a conspiracy involved. Wouldn't the best course of action be to turn around and leave as soon as possible?"

"That's the only way to protect yourself."

Very good, that makes perfect sense. No wonder they left after just a quick look around the underground palace before. The sense of oppression is one thing, but the fear of death is the real reason.

"No... do you really... lack even the slightest bit of courage?"

"Elder Chen, you are mistaken. This family is cautious and meticulous, isn't that what you said?"

What the hell!

Learning something new and applying it immediately?

"Alright, since none of you want to go in, then go back the way you came and wait for me outside."

"I'm a very curious person, and I have to go and see what's going on."

"It's convenient to do things when there are too many people."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, the other members of the five clans shook their heads in refusal once again.

"No, if we're going to leave, we have to leave together."

"If something happens to you here, we'll be in trouble."

"When we arrived, the patriarch instructed us that no matter what happened, your life should be protected first."

"So, you have to come with us."

"Don't worry, I'm lucky, I'll be fine. Don't delay my business."

"No, Elder Chen, please don't make things difficult for us, okay?"

"Aren't you the ones making things difficult for me?"

"I won't force you to come with me, and you can't take me away either."

Both sides were at a stalemate, and Chen Chang'an's status and position were above theirs. Helpless, the five clans had no choice but to compromise.

"That's it!"

"We'll go with you."

"If something really goes wrong, then we'll accept it."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"I'm scared, but I can't lose face, and I can't back down."

Now you know you can't lose face or back down? Where were you before?

Chen Chang'an and his group continued forward. They still couldn't use their senses in this place, so they could only rely on their eyes to observe their surroundings.

"Is someone up ahead...?"

"No, it should be said that there was a corpse!"

Corpse?

Chen Chang'an and his group quickly flew over and discovered that there were not just one corpse, but three.

"This... seems to be someone from the Wei family."

"Yes, they are from the Wei family. I've seen these three people before."

"How...how did they die here, and in such a terrible way..."

The manner in which these three members of the Wei family died truly sent chills down the spines of the people from the five clans.

Because they were all completely hollowed out; they weren't exactly reduced to ashes, but they were definitely not left with a complete corpse.

Moreover, this kind of death is even more terrifying than being reduced to ashes.

"Tell me, what killed them?" Chen Chang'an asked after staring at the corpses for a while.

"This... well, it's not a good thing anyway."

"Nonsense, you don't need to tell me that, Elder Chen. I think there must be some kind of danger lurking here."

"Isn't that obvious? Elder Chen, it must be a monster that likes to eat people, and doesn't even like to eat the skin."

Chen Chang'an frowned slightly, raised his hand to stop the discussion, and earnestly reminded them, "It seems that there is danger in this place."

"From now on, everyone must be careful, since perception is useless here."

"you……"

"careful!"

Just as Chen Chang'an was giving them a warning, they suddenly sensed a shadow rushing towards them.

Chen Chang'an reacted swiftly, slashing with his sword and forcing the shadow to retreat.

But the other party was too fast, so fast that Chen Chang'an couldn't even see clearly before they disappeared.

"What...what was that just now?"

"I don't know, I have no idea what happened."

"I...I just saw a shadow, a shadow that was moving very fast."

"It looks like something black, like a shadow."

"Elder Chen, did you see what it was clearly?"

Everyone looked at Chen Chang'an, but Chen Chang'an couldn't quite see what it was either.

"It's not human, and it's not very big. It's extremely fast, and it's completely black, looking like a shadow."

"Moreover... I didn't see any facial features, or rather, I didn't see any part like a head."

Headless? Pitch black, extremely fast, and not very big?

"I've never heard of such a creature."

"Could it be that we are ignorant, or is it a new species that has never appeared before?"

"A new species that only exists in this place?"

Faced with a completely unknown entity, everyone's vigilance reached its peak.

"Ten people form a group, creating a battle formation."

"We must be constantly on guard against this damn thing's sneak attacks."

"This thing is quite powerful; my sword strike just now wasn't enough to kill it."

Chen Chang'an was not capable of killing him with a single sword strike. Although he was unprepared, even a hasty strike was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

But this thing ran so fast, it was really...

"You missed with that sword."

Suddenly, Hongchen spoke up to remind him.

"What? You missed?"

"But I clearly saw that sword..."

"Am I the sword, and are you the sword? Do you think you can sense things as accurately as I can?"

"If that's what you say, then I won't argue with you. You're the worst!"
