Chapter 174
Yuan You looked in the direction of Shen Qian's finger, and was also taken aback.

I saw many black shadows appearing on the grassland, but I couldn't see what they were because of the distance.

"Strange, why didn't you see it just now?" Yuan You asked puzzled.

"These dark nights don't seem to move, go and have a look."

Shen Qian sensed it, and saw that the black shadows were just still, so he pulled Yuan You forward.

After walking about two kilometers, those black shadows gradually became clear, and they were stone statues standing on the grassland.

The stone statue looks a bit like an ancient soldier, with arms folded, about three meters high, with a giant erect pupil on each face.

Seeing Yuan You thoughtful, Shen Qian couldn't help asking, "Have you seen this kind of stone statue?"

"I have a little impression, but I'm not sure which book it is in. I need a little time to find the memory."

Yuan You nodded.

Shen Qian also understood what Yuan You meant. After memory or mental power reached a certain level, especially when a person could remember everything that happened, the operation of thinking would enter another mode.

It's kind of like the memory palace shown in some detective movies.

All the pictures you have experienced will be stored, but it will not take up the memory of your head on weekdays, and you can look it up when you need it.

Seeing that Yuan You closed her eyes and began to recall, Shen Qian didn't bother her, and slowly let go of her hand and saw that nothing happened, so she looked around in peace.

Looking up, the sky was dim but clear, not at all like the usual chaos in the restricted area.

Surrounded by rolling grasslands, there are faint mountain peaks at the end, but the distance is at least hundreds of kilometers away.

In addition, the entire grassland is empty, except for the statues of soldiers standing quietly, there is nothing else.

"Whether this is an illusion or something, I am sure I am not far away from Jingcheng, but the surrounding scene has become completely different."

The feeling of dislocation of time and space aroused Shen Qian's desire to explore.

Is this the projected world of "The Door"?
What will it look like inside the real "door"?
Shen Qian thought of the "door" he saw in Buya Valley, when it was snowing heavily around him, he believed a little bit of Yuan You's statement.

Perhaps, the environment around the "door" will really be affected by the world inside the "door".

While thinking about it, Shen Qian walked up to a stone sculpture and tried to touch it with his hand.

Sen's cold and real touch came, and he intuited that everything here should be real.

"Ok?"

Shen Qian's ears moved suddenly, as if he heard something, he lay down on the grass.

Buzz!

A strange faint roar seemed to sound from the depths of the ground.

While Shen Qian was frowned, the giant pupil statue in front of him suddenly trembled.

boom!
The stone statue collapsed and fell heavily on the grass, revealing a bottomless pit.

The "buzzing" sound became clearer.

Before Shen Qian could react, the surrounding stone statues with giant pupils began to collapse one after another, exposing more potholes.

Yuan You also woke up from his memory, no matter what the situation was, he immediately ran to Shen Qian's side.

Buzz!
Accompanied by the extremely dense sound of flapping wings that made the scalp tingle, a large black shadow suddenly appeared in a pothole not far from the two of them.

With Shen Qian's eyesight, he could see at a glance that it was a mosquito as big as a thumb.

In the darkness, their long and thin mouths still shone with a dark blue light.

"Killer Grasshopper!"

Yuan You also exclaimed.

This should be an unpopular monster, at least Shen Qian had never seen it in the "Basic Monster Beast Guide", so he looked at Yuan You suspiciously.

Yuan You pulled Shen forward to signal him to run away, and at the same time introduced him very quickly.

"A kind of rare demon insect that cannot be determined to be a mutation of ordinary mosquitoes or from another world. Its grade is Z-level. It is common in the southwest region, but... generally dozens of them gather together at most. They usually eat other Z-level monsters. live on the blood of beasts.”

Dozens?
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, then glanced back, there were at least a thousand of them rushing towards the crowd at this moment!

What was even more frightening was that just as the two of them were escaping, a second group of killer hoppers also came out of another hole.

Buzz!
There was a sound from the front right, and soon a third group of killer grasshoppers also emerged from the ground.

Both Shen Qian and Yuan You realized the seriousness of the problem, and at a glance, there are more than a hundred statues of giant pupils that have fallen on the grassland at this moment.

This also means that at least there will be hundreds of swarms of killer grasshoppers.

Z-level monsters are only comparable to the early stage of beginners, not worth mentioning, but if the number reaches hundreds of millions...

I'm afraid that mountains and seas don't dare to underestimate them.

Fortunately, Shen Qian was fast enough to pick up Yuan You, dodged a few lightly, and quickly escaped from the siege of three groups of killer grasshoppers.

But no matter how fast Shen Qian is, unless he can escape from this area in an instant, the range of escape will only become smaller and smaller as new swarms of killer grasshoppers continue to join.

When the swarm of killer grasshoppers on the grassland exceeded twenty, it became a bit difficult for the two to escape.

"What to do, what to do, it must be ugly to be bitten to death like this..."

Although Yuan You turned pale in fear, she was still thinking of ways.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring a flamethrower, but the flamethrower won't work either. There are so many killer grasshoppers, how much energy is needed to kill them all."

Seeing that Yuan You was worried that his death would look ugly, Shen Qian was somewhat dumbfounded, but when he heard the other party's last words, his heart moved.

"Are they afraid of fire?"

"Well, but ordinary fire won't work..."

After Yuan You finished speaking, Shen Qian's eyes flickered, as if he was caught in some kind of entanglement.

After a few seconds, Shen Qian suddenly stopped walking.

Seeing the killer grasshoppers approaching all around, Yuan You was almost driven crazy by the buzzing, and couldn't help urging, "Shen Qian, why are you in a daze, why don't you run away?"

Shen Qian took a deep look at Yuan You, and just when Yuan You didn't understand why, Shen Qian suddenly spoke softly.

"In the future...if you can't think of a way to make me trust you, I will kill you."

"what?"

Just when Yuan You was in a daze, Shen Qian put her down, then opened his hands and pointed at the sky.

hum!
The first swarm of killer hoppers poured down from the top of Shen Qian's head, and when he was about to drown him, a gleam appeared in Yuan You's eyes.

The light came from Shen Qian's palm, and after a brief blaze, it turned into a red and white flame, which spewed out.

Chi Chi!

There was a tooth-piercing zla sound, a burnt smell rang out in the air, and pieces of mosquito corpses fell from midair.

Yuan Youxiao watched this scene with her mouth slightly open. It should be a disgusting scene, but at this moment, she felt a sense of relief for no reason.

When she came back to her senses, looking at the man bathed in the flames, Yuan You lost her mind again.

...He was actually an original martial artist.

Yes, she knows that there is original vitality in this world, which should belong to the category of mountains and seas, but there are always some geniuses who can break through this restriction.

But on Shen Qian's body, Yuan You felt that it was no surprise.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Shen Qian said that first.

Obtain the trust……

Yuan You pursed her lips.

From Shen Qian's point of view, there is nothing wrong with her, she knows too many of his secrets, even ordinary close relatives and friends, I am afraid that they will not share these easily.

Yuan You, who had some headaches, sighed, feeling that she had sold herself this time.

She stopped worrying about it for the time being, but quickly took out a shorthand notebook and a silver pen with a strange pattern.

This pen is very famous, and it is also the most famous "weapon" of scholars. It is called "Qinxin Pen", which can only be obtained by scholars who have passed a specific test.

It is said that the lines on the pen are the blessings of princes and lords, which contain a certain principle of Dao, and can be used in many places.

For example, at this moment, as Yuan You's thoughts turned, the pen actually began to write in the shorthand notebook by itself.

"On July 2297, 7, at the border of Xiaowang Village in the outer eastern district of Jingcheng, the coordinates were 13 degrees north latitude and 26 degrees east longitude. Suddenly, a heavy fog filled the air. Follow Shen Qian to explore inside. See..."

Some details were omitted, but only for a moment, the incident was recorded.

"Stop writing, and think of a way."

At this time, Shen Qian suddenly opened his mouth and said with his hands raised to the sky like a Vulcan.

"what happened?"

Yuan You stood up and looked at the corpses of the killer hoppers piled up on the ground all around, feeling lingering fear in his heart, but in the mid-air, there were still countless killer hoppers attacking like moths to the flame.

"Continuing like this is not an option. The number of these killer grasshoppers can be said to be endless, but my vitality...is limited."

Shen Qian said in a deep voice.

In fact, he also brought a lot of elixir to replenish vitality, but Shen Qian didn't want to waste it here.

Yuan You frowned upon hearing this, and fell into deep thought again.

Perhaps because she was far away from the danger, Yuan You's thinking became bright again. With the light of the fire propped up by Shen Qian, she looked around carefully, especially focusing on the things she had ignored just now.

"You said... Could this be a formation?"

Yuan You said slowly.

Shen Qian looked around carefully after being startled, and finally smiled self-deprecatingly, "On the importance of experience, I didn't think about it just now."

"But it's useless to know that formations are useless. I know a little Feng Shui at most. If you are a formation..."

Yuan You shut up suddenly in the middle of speaking, because she remembered all kinds of miracles before Shen Qian, so she looked over strangely.

That's obvious... you don't really mean it, do you?

"Qiannan, Kunbei, Lidong..."

Shen Qian answered her with practical actions, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, and constantly calculating, the positions of all the statues with giant pupils gradually became three-dimensional in his heart.

"Over there, over there is the gate of life!"

Shen Qian quickly locked his eyes on a direction, retracted the flame in his hand, and picked up Yuan You in his arms and ran away.

Yuan You laid down on Shen Qian's shoulder as if resigned to his fate, and had already become numb.

Shen Qian quickly traveled a distance of a thousand meters, and came to a solitary statue with giant pupils. Surrounded by a group of fallen statues, this statue was particularly conspicuous, but Shen Qian didn't notice it at all before.

boom!
Kicking the statue down, Shen Qian jumped down with Yuan You.

The pothole was very deep, with a full drop of more than 20 meters, before Shen Qian stepped on the solid ground.

After landing, Shen Qian looked up at the entrance of the cave emitting light.

Buzz!
All the killer grasshoppers that followed just hovered around the entrance of the cave, but seemed to be restricted by some kind, and did not fly down with them.

"Finally out of trouble."

Seeing this, Yuan You also breathed a sigh of relief, but then she blushed and said in a small voice, "How long will you hold me?"

Shen Qian was surprised at first, but then he realized that the position of his hand was not right, he quickly coughed and put Yuan You down.

Yuan You straightened out his crumpled tactical uniform, but his expression soon turned serious, "I probably know where this place is."

"Oh?" Seeing that Yuan You finally remembered, Shen Qian also showed curiosity.

"Although the materials of the three 'gates' in the east of Jingcheng are all closed, each 'gate' will have different signs when it appears. If you look up some records in the past, you can still have a superficial understanding. "

Yuan You explained, "In my impression, a 'gate' that was closed 23 years ago once turned the day into night in a certain area, and there were many ghosts and ghosts at that time."

"Ghosts?"

Shen Qian frowned, he still hated these supernatural things.

"There is a legend that the 'gate' leads to the underworld."

"Underworld?" Shen Qian frowned, "Is there really a place in this world where people can reincarnate?"

"I don't know about that, but I'm more inclined to think that this is some idle speculation of some middle-level fighters. If it is really an underworld related to life and death, it will definitely cause a big commotion, but it seems that only one prince took action at that time."

Shen Qian nodded, Yuan You continued.

"There are different theories about the origin of 'gate', but I've always been intrigued by one of them."

"What kind?"

Shen Qian also read some records of the Tongtian Tower, and he is not as unfamiliar with the "door" as before.

"Have you ever heard of 'The Will of All Beings'?"

"Well, there are thousands of roads, and some of them are related to the will of all living beings, such as the city master's road of public opinion."

"It can be regarded as an explanation, but the term 'will of all beings' actually has a more vague concept. I interpret it as a mysterious force formed by the fusion of many people's spiritual will."

Yuan You organized his thoughts and said, "This kind of mysterious power could be called faith in ancient times, but after the spiritual energy is revived, it has been twisted and strengthened, and maybe... maybe it can be realized."

"Realization?" Shen Qian's eyes narrowed, "You mean, imagination becomes reality?"

"The most easy-to-understand statement is this. The grasslands, stone statues, and killer hoppers we experienced just now. If you have read the novel before the catastrophe, you will find that these elements are in that novel."

Yuan You smiled wryly, "I used to read it when I was bored, so I couldn't remember it just now. I thought I was reading some serious classics."

"Then this novel should be very famous, right?" Shen Qian pondered, "If your theory of 'will of all beings' is true..."

"Well, it is very famous and has a huge influence." Yuan You let out a long breath, "Of course, to verify whether this matter is true, we will know where we are now."

"Where should we be?"

There was a fire in Shen Qian's hand.

"A place called...the Tomb of the Goddess."

As Yuan You finished speaking, the flame in Shen Qian's hand also flew forward, becoming bigger and bigger, illuminating the darkness around him.

This is a long and narrow underground passage, and at the end more than ten meters away, as the flames fell, a huge bronze gate with a height of ten meters appeared in front of the two of them, with stone beasts standing on both sides, impressively...

It was the entrance to a tomb.
