Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 92: Navigation

Looking at the eight forks in the road that appeared again in front of him, Xiao Yichen stopped and observed them carefully.

"If I'm not mistaken, there will be 16 forks in the road next time. No, if we keep going this way, if we choose the wrong path at any one time, we might end up in a dead end. Damn it, who designed this?"

In anger, he punched the rhizome next to him. The next moment, Xiao Yichen suddenly felt dizzy. The roots around him seemed to come alive and began to twist non-stop, like thick giant snakes.

Then, these roots pushed him out like waves, wave after wave. Not long after, he was thrown out of the cave.

Seeing this from a distance, Liu Qingqing immediately ran towards him.

"Brother, are you okay?"

He stood up again, patted his clothes, and looked a little worried.

"It's okay, I was just thrown out, I'm not hurt."

Just then, a few people were walking slowly towards them from a distance. When they saw them, one of the girls walked up to them and greeted them.

"Are you also here to pick herbs?" the woman asked.

Xiao Yichen nodded. Seeing this, the woman continued, "You are lucky. This place was not as suitable for growing medicinal herbs as it is now a year ago."

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen's expression under the mask was a little confused. Liu Qingqing beside him asked, "Sister, are you saying that this place wasn't like this a year ago?"

The woman hummed lightly and said, "Originally, this place was quite fertile, able to grow most low-level medicinal herbs. But a year ago, something happened. The vegetation around here suddenly increased several times, and the spiritual energy is much richer than before. Some nearby pharmacists like to come here."

"Then do you know that hole?" Liu Qingqing asked anxiously. Just now, Xiao Yichen seemed to be spit out by a big mouth. She saw it clearly and was very curious about what was in the hole.

Hearing Liu Qingqing mention the cave nearby, the woman smiled slightly. "It seems this is your first time here. The cave is strange. It was originally just an ordinary cave, but after something happened here over a year ago, a large number of tree roots have grown inside."

Having said this, she paused and looked at Xiao Yichen beside her, who was covered in mud.

"This big brother must have gone in just now. Did he get vomited out too?"

Xiao Yichen nodded awkwardly as a way of admitting it.

The woman chuckled softly and said, "There's no need to explain if you've been in there before. It's like a maze. As for what's at the deepest end, no one knows. There are so many forked paths that no one has ever walked to the bottom. But don't worry, no one has been injured so far. You can go in and experience it for fun."

After the woman finished speaking, Xiao Yichen asked again, "Is there no sect nearby to check out this strange cave?"

Hearing this, the woman shook her head.

"After all, the changes here only happened a year ago. Currently, only those who live nearby know about it. Plus, it's such a precious place, the fewer people who know about it, the better. It'll be discovered by passersby like you sooner or later, but it's better to delay it for a day."

The woman did not hide her feelings and admitted it openly, which shows that she is a person with a free and easy personality.

After listening to this, Xiao Yichen also understood why there were not many people here until now. You know, the land here alone is as much as the medicinal fields of those sects, not to mention the mysterious cave.

Just as the woman was about to leave, Xiao Yichen stopped her again, bowed and asked:

"Girl, do you know the small temple not far from here?"

The woman turned around and thought for a moment. "I haven't been there, but I've heard some stories from my senior brother. That temple is a bit strange. No matter how much damage is done, it will eventually return to its original state. I don't know the details, but I do know that the temple, like the cave here, suddenly changed a year ago. But it's not dangerous."

After saying that, the woman stopped talking and walked towards her companions, leaving Xiao Yichen and the other two to stay where they were.

"A year ago? What exactly happened here? And that dilapidated temple, the changes happened at the same time as this place. It seems that there must be some connection between the two." Xiao Yichen rubbed Liu Qingqing's pigtails and looked at the cave not far away and thought.

He did know the reason for the changes here, most likely the Fairy Core Crystal, but he didn't know why the changes only started a year ago. According to Dashu, the fragments of the Fairy Core Crystal should have fallen here for a long time.

"Forget it, let's go in and take a look." As he said that, he walked towards the cave. Liu Qingqing beside him hurriedly pulled him back, looking at him pitifully with her big eyes.

"Brother, can I go in with you? The sister just said it's not dangerous."

Xiao Yichen smiled bitterly, but did not refuse. The two of them and Xiao Zi walked in.

An hour later, Xiao Yichen was sitting in the flowers covered in mud, with a helpless look on his face. This time he walked in for more than an hour, but still did not reach the deepest part. Finally, he had no choice but to punch those roots. The two of them were like riding a roller coaster, sliding for more than ten minutes and then being spit out.

At this moment, Liu Qingqing and Xiao Zi were still playing. They rushed in for dozens of meters and imitated him, punching the roots. They were pushed by the roots and spit out of the cave. They repeated this over and over again. They were having a lot of fun. It was just a pity for Xiao Zi, who was already dizzy to begin with, and now she was even more dizzy.

"It seems I have to go to that temple again. Who knows, I might find something there." He sighed and said hello to Liu Qingqing. She had almost finished playing by then, so she patted her butt and ran towards Xiao Yichen.

After returning to the temple, Liu Qingqing tried her best to persuade Xiao Yichen, and he finally told her how to trigger the place. When she saw the dilapidated temple in front of her turned into a galaxy, her eyes were filled with excitement. She turned around and finally bumped into the wall. She squatted aside holding her nose in discomfort.

Xiao Yichen picked her up, and rubbed her nose with a trace of wood element from his fingertips, finally eliminating the pain.

"Still playing?" Xiao Yichen pinched her nose jokingly.

"Hmph, you naughty brother, why didn't you remind me that I ended up banging my head against the wall." Liu Qingqing turned her head to the side, pouting her little mouth, as if she didn't want to pay any attention to him.

After coaxing for a few minutes, the two came to the ball of green light. Liu Qingqing wanted to reach out and touch it, but was pulled back by Xiao Yichen.

"This thing can eat people, don't let it eat you." Xiao Yichen threatened. Sure enough, when Liu Qingqing heard that it could eat people, she hurriedly hid behind him.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yichen looked at the ball of light in front of him again. The last time he touched it, the power of the heavenly tribulation in his body was faintly pulled, but after he sent out the power of the heavenly tribulation, the suction force quickly disappeared, and it looked like a person seeing a ferocious beast.

"Let's try without contact this time." After saying that, he mobilized a trace of the power of heavenly tribulation and slowly gathered towards the halo. However, when the two touched, the halo actually retreated directly. With a "bang", it was as if the wall of the dilapidated temple was knocked through, and the halo moved around, turning left and right, which made Liu Qingqing laugh at the side.

"Haha, brother, you are being disliked."

Ignoring Liu Qingqing's teasing, he looked at the constantly changing direction of the halo in front of him, and suddenly realized something. He hurriedly took her hand and followed the route of the halo. After a while, he caught up.

The halo stopped moving at this moment. Xiao Yichen dispersed a trace of the power of the heavenly tribulation again. As he expected, the ball of green light moved again, turning left and right and flying towards somewhere.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen felt a little excited.
