Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Gu Chi felt that something was wrong. The premonition that a great evil would happen that those people had talked about before was probably going to come true. She didn't feel like stopping. She and the big black dog rushed out of the mine in a few seconds and ran for more than ten miles in one breath. They stopped only when they felt it was safe enough.

The big black dog was still frightened: "Sister Gu Chi, I think I saw it just now..."

Gu Chi asked, "A creature with wings on a human body and three eyes?"

Seeing the big black dog nod, Gu Chi said in a deep voice: "I saw it too!"

Just now in the mine, she saw some vague figures through the scarlet blood mist. They had human bodies, but wings on their backs, pale faces and bloodshot eyes. She didn't know what kind of creatures they were.

"boom"

At this moment, the mine was forcibly broken through, and a group of monks from the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace rushed out in a panic. One of the middle-aged men was almost crazy, shouting in horror, but in the blink of an eye, he was turned into a pool of pus and blood by the blood mist that spread from behind him.

There was chaos in the 16th mining area, with screams and cries everywhere, and many people were crawling and tumbling to escape for their lives.

It was not until half an hour later that all the commotion calmed down. Nearly four hundred people went down into the well to work, but after the accident, only forty or fifty people escaped alive.

All the cultivators in Xuanyuan Immortal Palace had gloomy faces. They had just tried to stop the spread of the blood mist, but ended up losing five of their companions on the spot.

When something like this happened, they didn't dare to hide it and reported it to their superiors immediately.

Soon, a Jindan-stage elder from Xuanyuan Immortal Palace and seven or eight famous figures arrived at the scene and inquired in detail about the situation in the mine.

"You all stand back!"

Cao Xiang, a Jindan-stage elder of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace, shouted, pinching his sword gestures with his hands and slashing forward from a distance.

A sword beam shot out from the fingertips, turning into a huge lightsaber, slashing down.

"boom"

The earth and rocks collapsed, dust flew, and the mine where the accident occurred was cut open and exposed to the sun, but it was still dark and gloomy, looking very strange.

Cao Xiang frowned and continued to vibrate his fingers. The huge lightsaber, which was more than ten feet long, fell again, completely splitting the mine.

Cao Xiang took out a large pile of white dry bones and piled them not far away.

Gu Chi and the big black dog observed carefully from a distance. Those skeletons did not belong to humans. Although they were in human form, the difference could be seen at a glance.

Cao Xiang kept attacking, grabbing large amounts of bones and rocks, and soon a mountain of bones was piled up, with at least tens of thousands of corpses!

Streams of blood mist rose up, and when Cao Xiang's lightsaber touched the blood mist, it was melted directly.

He used his magical powers again, and a huge hand condensed from magic power and shining with green light reached deep into the mine despite the erosion of the blood mist.

Not long after, the ground shook, and the big green hand grabbed out a large amount of soil, rocks and bones.

"What is that? A spirit stone? Is the red inside blood?!"

In the distance, Gu Chi widened his eyes and found that among the soil, rocks and bones grabbed by the big hand, there were several spirit stones the size of washbasins, and there was something sealed inside each spirit stone.

Two of the spirit stones contained bright red liquid, which was obviously blood. One of the spirit stones must have broken just now, causing the blood inside to flow out, leading to the tragedy.

"How powerful is this creature? Its blood turning into blood mist is so terrifying..." Several famous people in Xuanyuan Immortal Palace were awestruck.

Cao Xiang also frowned.

There is also a spiritual stone with a finger sealed inside, which is crystal clear and slender, as white and tender as water onion.

There was also a spiritual stone, which contained half a head. The face was covered with green scales, and there was a vertical eye on the forehead between the eyebrows. It was directly split into two halves by an unknown sharp weapon.

"Those slender and tender fingers and this half head obviously do not come from the same body." A famous person said.

"These spirit stones are of no trivial importance. I must escort them back to the sect as soon as possible." Cao Xiang said solemnly.

The quality of those spirit stones was only low grade and their own value was not great, but they contained unknown biological parts sealed inside, and their value was inestimable, so they must not be lost.

He took out a magic weapon and collected all the spirit stones into it. Then he and several other people carefully observed the soil, rocks and bones on the ground.

Most of the corpses were scattered and difficult to piece together accurately. Several elderly people relied on their experience and took great pains to piece together two complete corpses from a pile of bones.

One is slender, the other is mighty. Although they both look human-like, they are definitely not human.

The slender corpse should be a woman with six arms, and the mighty corpse should be a man with a pair of membranous wings similar to those of a bat.

Of course, the possibility of splicing errors cannot be ruled out. After all, no one has ever seen what these creatures looked like when they were alive. It is difficult to restore them 100% by splicing together various bone shapes.

"Rumble"

Suddenly, the ground collapsed and everyone was shocked. The bottom of the mine where the accident had just occurred sank, revealing a large dark hole.

The people in the 16th mining area can be sure that this deep pit was not dug by them, but has existed for a long time, right under the mine where they usually work, and has only seen the light of day today.

A cold and gloomy energy rushed up into the sky, making everyone present shiver.

Several old men in Xuanyuan Immortal Palace could no longer remain calm.

"It seems that this place is really extraordinary."

Cao Xiang asked everyone to step back, and then took action himself. After using his spiritual sense to observe, his five fingers burst into precious light, and he displayed a magical power similar to moving mountains and filling the sea, actually wanting to move the entire mine out!

"Rumble"

The sky shook and the earth trembled, the ground cracked in many places, and soil and rocks kept flying. The mine where the accident occurred was locked and wrapped by a powerful magical power, and was rising little by little.

"Oh my god—what is that?!"

The earth trembled, the eerie and oppressive atmosphere became stronger and stronger, and a cold metallic luster suddenly appeared.

As time went by, the deep pit under the mine rose little by little, and finally reached the same level as the ground, completely exposed to the sun.

This "deep pit" is several miles in radius, with huge stone pillars standing on the edge. They are dark green and almost black, and are densely engraved with many traces of lines or words.

In the center of the many stone pillars, there stands a tower over a hundred meters high. It is the same dark green and almost black as the stone pillars, and reflects the texture of metal under the sunlight.

Unlike the towers we usually see, this tower has no layers, but looks more like a pillar that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

Cao Xiang frowned and waved his sleeves, trying to put away the metal tower. However, he was surprised that no matter how hard he tried, he could not shake the tower at all.

"How strange!"

Cao Xiang walked closer and tried to inject his own magic power into the tower.

"buzz"

The patterns of the sun, moon, stars and other objects on the tower all lit up at this moment. It was not very bright, but Cao Xiang disappeared from the spot in an instant, as if he had entered the interior of the tower.
