Spiritual Walker

The thumb-thin tree root quickly burst into golden flames and then turned into charcoal.

The tree roots that covered the wall were stimulated and all "came alive" at once, like a dense group of snakes crawling on the wall.

The locust tree spirit didn't expect that this mortal from outside had such extraordinary wisdom. Seeing that his lie was exposed, he simply stopped pretending and said sternly:

"Since you don't want to come, then die."

The ground of the cave cracked, and the fragments bulged. Thick tree roots broke out of the ground, like twisted tentacles, rolling towards Zhang Yuanqing.

At this distance, even without the red dancing shoes, Zhang Yuanqing could escape.

Sure enough, he wanted to trick me to get close... Zhang Yuanqing did not retreat but advanced, and slid to avoid the entanglement of the tree roots, shortening the distance between himself and the locust tree, then bounced up, jumped several meters high, and once again avoided the sweep.

More and more tree roots broke through the surface and danced wildly in the cave.

Zhang Yuanqing jumped and moved between the tentacles with an elegant posture. No matter how hard the tree roots tried, they could not catch him.

If the Red Dance Shoes were not subdued, the death rate of a novice facing this level would be extremely high.

Thump, thump, thump... Red Dance Shoes sprinted on the wall, avoiding the entanglement and slapping of the tree roots. With a bounce of his knees, he pushed Zhang Yuanqing through the pursuit and interception of the tree roots like a sharp arrow and crashed into the tree trunk.

Seeing the human rushing towards him, the tree trunk showed obvious fear on its face.

Boom!

The stones at the bottom of the tree roots cracked, and more tree roots gushed out like a blowout, forming a wooden wall.

Zhang Yuanqing chiseled the Demon Subduing Pestle hard.

The golden flames spread on the surface of the wooden wall, burning the locust tree spirit and screaming angrily.

Zhang Yuanqing broke through the carbonized wooden wall and sent the sharp three-edged Demon Subduing Pestle into the tree trunk.

Duh!

The three-edged spikes penetrated deeply into the tree trunk, and a brilliant sun burst out from the dark cave.

The golden light twisted the tree trunk and the human face, causing it to scream miserably and emit green smoke.

In an instant, the souls hiding in the tree trunk also turned into green smoke in the screams.

All the ghosts disappeared, disappearing in the golden light.

The golden light dissipated, and the cave returned to darkness, but it suddenly became clean and clear.

The first thing Zhang Yuanqing did was not to check whether the locust tree spirit was dead, but to quickly remove the red dance shoes from the wearing state and put them in the inventory.

It has been almost five minutes since entering the cave.

After putting away the red dance shoes, Zhang Yuanqing turned his attention to the big banyan tree. It was withered, the bark was cracked, it lost moisture, and the roots were scattered all over the cave.

A cold voice sounded in Zhang Yuanqing's mind:

[Ding, congratulations on completing the S-level trial mission, the character card is activated, and the reward is being calculated. ]

[Obtained items/props: Demon-Subduing Pestle. ]

[Bonus experience value: 100%]

[You have become a night-wandering god. ]

[Bonus experience value: 20%]

[Character card reward activated, reward prop: red dancing shoes. ]

[Leave the spiritual realm in five minutes...]

It's finally over... Zhang Yuanqing felt exhausted physically and mentally, as if he was exhausted.

He passed the Sheling Tunnel and completed something that no one had been able to do in decades.

As the prompt sounded, the black moon mark on Zhang Yuanqing's forehead became prominent, and a strange and mysterious power was released from the hot mark, rushing into his body with an almost unreasonable attitude.

His skin was red, like a cooked shrimp, and the strange and mysterious power washed over his body, blending into cells and bones, and his arm injury recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He twitched involuntarily, and two illusory black moons appeared in his eyes, and then disappeared.

The pain quickly disappeared, and then the comfort of running in a hot spring came.

So comfortable... Zhang Yuanqing just felt lazy all over, and wanted to stretch his body comfortably. He looked down instinctively and was surprised to see his body standing in the same place.

My soul has left my body?

He was panicked and subconsciously wanted to return to his body. As soon as he thought about it, his soul immediately sank and merged into his body.

After taking control of the body again, Zhang Yuanqing found that this body had something more, something called talent.

He naturally accepted this talent, as if it was born with him.

At the same time, he felt that his body was full of endless energy and strength, and even had the illusion of blowing up a planet with one punch.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the character attribute panel:

[Name: Yuanshi Tianzun]

[Race: Human]

[Occupation: Night Wandering God]

[Level: 1]

[Skills: Night Wandering, Soul Devouring, Taiyin Spirit]

[Experience Value: 20%]

[Moral Value: 60 (initial value)]

[Night Wandering (Active): Concentrate the power of Taiyin to cover yourself and enter the Night Wandering state. During the skill release, you will be temporarily invisible and collect your own smell and breathing to cover the sound and heat emitted by your body. The time limit is six seconds. ]

[Soul Devouring (Active): Devour the soul to enhance your spirituality. ]

[Taiyin Spirit (Passive): The Night Wandering God has a strong physique, strong vitality and strong self-healing ability. In the night, the Night Wandering God's various abilities will be greatly enhanced. ]

He officially became the Night Wandering God, and he also gained 20% more experience points. With the props reward, the harvest of this trial spiritual realm can be said to be rich.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the inventory, and the red shoes lay quietly in the first grid. The half-hour countdown had disappeared.

He officially became the owner of the red shoes.

Two minutes later, he initially adapted to his physical condition, and the wounds on his arms had healed.

Then, Zhang Yuanqing turned his attention to the sarcophagus.

The mission was over, which meant that the exploration degree reached 100%, so the sarcophagus was empty?

"It seems that the locust tree spirit is the temple priest. In this way, all the "characters" have appeared. How did he become a tree spirit? What is in the sarcophagus is his flesh?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing walked to the sarcophagus and planned to lick the bag. Maybe there are treasures buried in the coffin.

There are more than two minutes before exiting the spiritual realm, and the time is enough.

To be on the safe side, he summoned the red shoes again and chose the wear mode.

The sarcophagus was wrapped by dry tree roots. Zhang Yuanqing waved the demon pestle and cut off these dehydrated tree roots one by one, so that he could see the whole picture of the sarcophagus.

It was about two meters long, with delicate patterns carved on the coffin and a light layer of dust on the lid.

"Zaza..."

He slowly pushed open the lid and looked inside. As a night-wandering god, he could easily see through the darkness even without the power of the demon-suppressing pestle.

In the stone coffin lay a female corpse, wearing a long-rotten ancient Luo skirt, with her arms crossed on her flat belly, her waist as thin as a willow, and her figure graceful, without any sign of decay.

The female corpse had a beautiful face, with lines on her cheeks outlining a perfect face shape, a straight and delicate nose, sexy and pale lips, closed eyes, and thick and intertwined eyelashes.

A stunning beauty.

This... Zhang Yuanqing was so shocked that he stepped back again and again, with only one thought in his mind:

Is this really the Goddess of Sandaoshan? !

Compared with the sculptures in the main hall, this female corpse is less charitable and more cold, less round and more thin like a young woman.

But the eyebrows and eyes are definitely 70% similar.

"Is the locust tree spirit telling the truth? The source of the disappearance of the disciples in the temple is the goddess of Sandao Mountain?"

For a moment, he was panic-stricken and doubted his judgment, and wrong judgments must be accompanied by huge crises.

"No, no, my task has indeed been completed, which shows that my speculation is correct. Then, the goddess in the sarcophagus belongs to the hidden task?"

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly regretted opening the coffin.

Since the goddess of Sandao Mountain lies in the sarcophagus, the mountain temple must be hiding a deeper plot.

This is very likely to trigger a series of bad chain reactions, such as triggering hidden tasks.

He was about to cover the sarcophagus back, and suddenly saw a dark luster between the lips of the female corpse.

Is there something?

After a slight hesitation, he pinched the pointed jaw, knocked open the plump and sexy lips, and saw the dark luster clearly.

It was a pure black bead.

[Name: Spirit Crystal]

[Type: Consumable]

[Function: None]

[Introduction: The soul crystal purified by the power of the sun god contains huge spiritual power and is the most desired supplement for the night wandering god. ]

[Note: The Three Mountains Goddess has purified the distracting thoughts in the crystal, please feel free to eat it. ]

Zhang Yuanqing stretched out two fingers and pinched out the bead.

The bead quickly melted into a sticky energy and rushed into the center of the eyebrows.

[Ding, you get 22% experience points. ]

Zhang Yuanqing's whole body was full of strength, and he once again had the illusion of punching a planet.

He felt that he was obviously stronger, and he could clearly perceive the improvement in skills without checking the attribute panel.

The delay time of the night wandering increased by three seconds, from six seconds to nine seconds.

Unexpectedly stronger, rest in peace, madam... Zhang Yuanqing silently closed the stone coffin, as if he had never opened it.

Next, while waiting for the countdown, Zhang Yuanqing felt a little restless and extremely anxious, fearing that something bad would happen, such as touching the hidden task and interrupting the return.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Zhang Yuanqing looked at the timer on the fluorescent blue panel and began to count down:

5, 4, 3...

Suddenly, a long breath sounded in the dark and silent cave.

Zhang Yuanqing: "..."

The coffin lid was pushed open from the inside, and a pale and delicate hand reached out and grabbed the edge of the coffin. Immediately, the beauty in the stone coffin sat up.

The female corpse's deep eyes swept across the cave and looked at Zhang Yuanqing, whose expression was stiff.

She stared at Zhang Yuanqing for a few seconds, and raised the corner of her mouth.

This smile almost scared Zhang Yuanqing to death on the spot.

At this moment, the scenery was like a reflection on the water surface torn apart by the wind, and the countdown ended.

The sky and the earth were blurred.

After a while, the picture gradually became stable, and the bright white incandescent light shone down from the top of the head, white walls, desks, computers, TVs, double beds...

The curtains swayed in the wind, and there was crisp bird calls outside the window.

He returned to the human world.
