Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Once inside the formation, the light barrier behind them quickly returned to normal.

Mo Juren ignored the matter and walked straight toward the portal ahead.

It is called a gate of light, but it is actually more like a white light curtain. It is not large, only a few feet long and wide, but strangely, its surface is covered with countless mysterious characters that flicker.

Upon seeing these words, a strange glint flashed in Mo Juren's eyes.

These characters are quite strange, vaguely resembling the Silver Tadpole script, but only in form; they are not the same thing in essence. Moreover, he recognizes the Silver Tadpole script, so these are clearly not it.

The characters were quite vigorous, faintly revealing a wild and untamed feel. He didn't recognize any of them at first, but from the memories of the Wood Clan member, he learned that an orange-rank being named 'Uru' in his team seemed to know something about them.

Speaking of this 'Uru', he is no ordinary person. Not only is he powerful, possessing the cultivation level of the early stage of Void Refinement, but he is also a well-known 'wise man' in his tribe.

When the other party met the portal, they mentioned that it was a special script called "Tianjue script" and that it was related to the legendary "Tianjue Clan".

The Fengyuan Continent has four secret clans, whose mystery is no less than that of the seven ancient clans, and the Tianjue Clan is one of them.

Mo Juren had only heard of this tribe, but knew nothing about its specifics.

Not to mention him, even Uru, who is known as a wise man, could recognize the origin of these characters, but he didn't know their specific meaning. As for the Tianjue Clan, he probably didn't know much about them either.

However, the other party did one thing: they wrote down all of these words.

Mo Juren's heart stirred slightly. He immediately flipped his palm, took out a blank jade slip, and began to record as well.

The fact that Uru values ​​these words so much shows that they are definitely not simple. Moreover, their appearance here might be due to some kind of secret technique. When we return in the future, we can ask the Cave Rat King for advice.

The other party is a true sage, far superior to a nobody like Uru.

This 'Heavenly Absolute Script' is very special. Not only is it numerous, but it also seems to have extremely high requirements for divine sense. If one's divine sense is insufficient, let alone recording it, even taking a glance at it will result in a backlash.

This situation occurred when the Wood Clan team first arrived. The three orange-rank beings were unaffected, but the others, out of curiosity, suffered splitting headaches after just one glance.

This shows that the mystery surrounding these characters is indeed quite extraordinary.

Mo Juren's divine sense was strong, so he was naturally unaffected. However, the number of characters was considerable, and they flickered intermittently, so it still took him quite a while to process them.

It took him a full half hour to finish recording before he finally put away the jade slip. Without further delay, he continued on his way.

Upon reaching the portal, there was no obstruction, and it was easy to enter. What came into view was a slightly dilapidated passage.

According to the memories obtained through soul searching, they have now entered the interior of the ruins.

This ancient site is quite unique. According to the Wood Clan team's exploration, it seems to have been built within a continuous mountain range.

For example, the passage in front of us is the main passage built inside the mountain. It is very long, winding and seemingly endless.

Within this long and narrow passage, branching paths appear at intervals, each leading to different locations, such as secret chambers, alchemy rooms, and herb gardens. Although the Wood Clan team arrived first, they had not yet completed their exploration.

At first, they had a smooth run, sweeping through more than ten spaces and obtaining a considerable number of various rare treasures.

However, joy turned to sorrow. As they gradually entered the deepest part of the ruins and reached an extremely large space, an accident finally occurred.

That place is most likely a medicinal herb garden, but not many medicinal herbs remain there. However, there is a vein of 'Creation Spirit Mud' beneath the ground.

For the Wood Clan, this was something to be called a 'sacred object,' and everyone was overjoyed, immediately starting to dig it up.

However, at this very moment, a sudden change occurred. For some unknown reason, countless mysterious beasts suddenly appeared inside the entire space.

It was something like a flying snake, not only endless in number, but also seemingly impossible to kill.

In this situation, even if the Wood Clan team is not weak, they still cannot be a match for them, and may even be completely trapped and unable to escape.

"What could it be?" Mo Juren muttered to himself as he sped along the narrow passage.

According to memory, the mysterious beast was shaped like a small snake, only three inches long, and its body was grayish-brown, but it had a pair of wings on its back, which gave it extremely powerful flight capabilities.

This flying serpent's attack method is also extremely special; it can actually spew out a kind of strange black mist, which contains a dense death aura and has a strong defilement effect on spiritual power and the soul.

Even the three orange-tier Wood Clan members, comparable to human cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm, couldn't avoid this black mist.

That's not all; the key issue is that there are so many of these flying snakes, almost endless, and they can't be killed by any means, which is truly astonishing.

Furthermore, and more importantly, there seems to be some kind of mysterious restriction within the entire site, making it difficult to use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique) spells.

This is another reason why the Wood Clan team was completely trapped; otherwise, the team would have escaped long ago, given that they had plenty of earth-type treasures.

“A mysterious flying serpent! It spews deathly energy and is immortal!” Mo Juren frowned. He was quite knowledgeable and had read a lot of information about various strange beasts in the cultivation world, but he really didn’t have any impression of such a bizarre species.

There is a strange beast called the 'Undying Serpent of the Netherworld' that has similar attack methods, lives in groups, and is also nearly immortal, but this serpent has no wings and cannot fly.

Mo Juren pondered for a long time but still had no answer. However, he had already made a decision in his heart: instead of rushing to the herb garden, he would first go to explore other places.

The herb garden where the Wood Clan team is located is not the end of the passage; there must be other spaces beyond. If they are lucky, they will likely find a lot of good things.

We can decide whether or not to enter the herb garden after we've finished exploring.

There was a vein of 'Creation Spirit Mud' there, and the reserves were quite large. He was extremely interested in this, and he certainly didn't want to let it go if he could.

However, it is clear that this matter involves great risks. Not to mention the endless stream of mysterious beasts, the trapped Wood Clan team is also a problem.

Moreover, this 'Creation Spirit Mud' is hidden within the mine, requiring time to excavate. Under the current circumstances, attempting to obtain it is tantamount to snatching chestnuts from a fire. (End of Chapter)
