Of course, some rare cases are not ruled out, and some disciples have died accidentally in the past.

For example, some disciples encountered powerful monsters whose strength far exceeded their own, and they were swallowed up before they could even crush the jade token.

Let's talk about the Trial Valley itself. It was originally an artificial secret realm created by a predecessor with superb Taoism during the early days of the Holy Land. Somewhere outside the valley there is a sand table that was a replica of the valley.

The higher-ups of the Holy Land can use the sand table to make subtle adjustments here, but the essence remains the same.

Just like some sandbox games he had experienced in his previous life, the map might change, but those iconic locations would definitely exist.

However, the caves and underground rivers here are not in the sandbox. Not only that, the Absolute Spirit Area does not exist either.

He had reason to suspect that someone had tampered with the Trial Valley.

The appearance of these human bones here seemed to confirm some of his guesses.

With this discovery, Zhao Kangping was suddenly horrified, and he even smelled the scent of conspiracy.

However, before he could tell Dongfang Jingrou about this discovery, a wave hit him and knocked him into the water.

The mud at the bottom of the riverbed was turned up, and the predators hiding in the mud were alarmed.

They are strange eyeless fish with translucent bodies and their internal organs can almost be seen.

These eyeless strange fish opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and surrounded them like sharks that smelled blood.

"what!"

Both of them screamed in pain.

The strange fish specifically bit the parts of their bodies that were not covered by clothes.

Such as the neck, face and hands.

They might not be able to bite through the skin of the two people, but their amazing bite force really hurts.

Zhao Kangping was fed up with it and released a high voltage current.

"Stop it, you...ah!"

Dongfang Jingrou, who was nearby, suffered an unexpected disaster.

But the electric current was too strong. The woman twitched a few times, became numb, and then fainted.

He was too weak to withstand the shock and fainted immediately. At least the senior sister could scold him while twitching. After the twitching, she stuck out her tongue and said she wanted more.

The eyeless strange fish turned up their white bellies and floated on the water.

Zhao Kangping also discovered a river bank with the help of the electric light generated by the discharge.

He swam to the shore with the unconscious Dongfang Jingrou.

Dongfang Jingrou still held the night pearl tightly in her hand, which was now the only source of light here.

But the bad thing was that her clothes were soaked with water and stuck to her body.

Her perfect figure was perfectly outlined by the tight clothes.

She is actually not inferior to her senior sister.

The full peaks and curves are actually of the same weight as the senior sister.

There is also a conspicuous vest line on her lower abdomen, which is proof of her being a physical trainee.

Zhao Kangping didn't dare to look down and deliberately turned his eyes away. He was afraid that he would turn into a beast.

As for helping her dry clothes or something, forget it.

He had no tools to make a fire, and there was no way to use his spiritual power here, so he could only wait for nature to dry it out. The monks' physical fitness ensured that they would not catch a cold.

Zhao Kangping looked around and found that the river bank was quite long.

No one knows where this underground river leads to, but as far as the eye can see, the river bank extends to the end.

He dragged the unconscious woman away from the water.

He always felt that there was something dirty in the water, which was unsafe, so it was better to stay away from it.

"Wake up!"

After laying her flat on the ground, he patted her face.

"Hey!"

Just as he was about to drop his hand, it was suddenly grabbed by the woman who had woken up.

From her perspective, he suddenly reached out his hand towards her, as if he was going to do something bad.

"Beast." She cursed loudly and instinctively wanted to pick up the knife to chop someone.

But she suddenly found that her right hand was empty and the knife was nowhere to be found.

"Snapped!"

It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t have a knife, she still has a weapon that women are very good at - the slap.

She soon found herself soaked to the skin.

"Stay away from me and don't look."

She said a little embarrassedly.

"I..." He suddenly wanted to curse. After all, he saved her, but she repaid his kindness with hatred by slapping him in the face and treating him as a pervert.

It's not like he hasn't seen it before, so he acts like it's something very rare for Mr. Zhao.

He turned his head away and took a few steps forward.

Dongfang Jingrou thought about it again. He had indeed saved her and hadn't really done anything bad to her. There seemed no need to make the relationship between them too awkward.

So she wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know whether she should speak.

In the end, it was Zhao Kangping who broke the awkward silence. He said, "The yin energy in this water is quite strong. It's possible that some kind of ghost has been born."

Dongfang Jingrou didn't respond. She looked around and didn't see her knife.

Maybe he fell into the water, or maybe he didn't hold the knife firmly when he was electrocuted.

Fortunately, the night pearl was not lost.

Her slender jade-like fingers stroked the night pearl in her hand, and suddenly she shivered involuntarily.

Without spiritual power to keep warm, the icy river water pressed against her skin, making her feel the chill.

In this spiritual area, she couldn't even dry the moisture off her body, and she felt a sense of frustration that she hadn't felt in years.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If this man hadn't acted on his own, she wouldn't have fallen into the water.

She felt that she couldn't let him go easily and had to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

"I'm talking to you, can you hear me?" Zhao Kangping suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"My knife fell into the water. Can you help me get it out?" She suddenly made a willful request.

"It's just a knife. Go out and change it." Zhao Kangping thought of the large number of bones in the water. It was a bit creepy to look at, so he didn't want to go down.

"No, this sword has been with me for many years. It will be difficult to find other suitable weapons in the future. If you don't go, I will go." As she said that, she walked towards the water.

Zhao Kangping did not indulge her and let her go into the water.

The water was flowing rapidly, and after Dongfang Jingrou stepped into the water, she almost lost her balance and was washed away by the river.

But she quickly stabilized her body, took a deep breath, and dived into the water.

Maybe it was because in the past, when she wanted to go into the water, she could cast a spell to avoid the water, but she couldn't do that here.

She had learned to swim when her level was not high, so she quickly adapted to moving in the water.

But after diving a short distance, she saw the bottom of the riverbed filled with bones.

I choked on the water at that time, and bubbles rose up.

It's just bones, nothing to be afraid of.

She deployed her spiritual sense to detect, but it was inefficient. The suppression of spiritual energy here was too severe, and even her spiritual sense had become difficult.

The range she could detect was greatly reduced, and the mental energy she consumed also increased significantly.

This is probably what the saying "getting twice the result with half the effort" means.

They were washed down from upstream, so she struggled to move forward underwater against the current.

Something lurking in the underwater mud and sand, unnoticed by her, had sensed the presence of the living.

The thing poked its head, covered in silt and algae, out of the mud and sand, and a faint green light flashed in its empty eye sockets.

If Dongfang Jingrou turned around, she would have discovered this hostile monster.

It was a huge bone snake. The back half of its tail seemed to be missing for some reason, and its body was incomplete.

But if you underestimate it because of this, you may suffer.

Now, its broken body alone is more than six feet long.

The water is its home ground. It twists its streamlined body and quickly chases after Dongfang Jingrou.

How could the latter, as a monk who had experienced countless life-and-death battles, have no ability to foresee danger?

She had noticed the bone snake long before it emerged from the bottom of the riverbed.

It was because the dead snake had such a strong negative energy that she felt a chill down her spine even from a long distance away because of the sudden negative energy.

Dongfang Jingrou could feel that this snake was at least at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Under normal circumstances, she could kill a group of them in one blow.

But her strength is limited now, and if she is not careful in fighting with him, she may get injured.

Besides, she was in the water now, and she was not as agile as the bone snake. She might really fall.

The bone snake swam closer and closer, eager to suck the soul of every person who fell into the water, so that it could repair its broken body and become stronger.

Three feet.

Two feet.

One foot.

It was so close to the woman that it suddenly jumped out of the water, trying to pounce on her, bite her shoulder, and then quickly wrap her up.

It used its huge snake body to squeeze the air out of her lungs bit by bit, crushing her ribs fiercely, making her feel despair in suffocation.

It then crushed her body, and when she was dying, it sucked her soul.

No matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free from its entanglement.

This is a trick it usually uses to deal with other prey.

Unfortunately, there was no brain within its hollow skull, only the nascent intelligence within its soul fire. However, it was still too ignorant to contemplate complex matters, relying almost entirely on instinct.

Since it became the dead after death, it has never seen anyone who can cast powerful spells in this soulless area.

It saw it today, but this also meant its death.

A blue-purple lightning flashed, and with a crackling sound, the lightning exploded, tearing the darkness apart.

Bone snakes belong to the undead, belonging to the category of ghosts. This kind of creature is most afraid of thunder. Even low-level thunder magic can cause tons of damage to them.

What's more, Zhao Kangping's lightning was also attached with the power of heavenly thunder.

So his thunder and lightning were like a catastrophe for the bone snake.

The moment the lightning touched the bone snake, its skull was blown into countless pieces, the ghostly green fire in its cranial cavity was instantly extinguished, and its bony body turned to dust in the blink of an eye.

The explosion caused waves to surge in the underground river, and Dongfang Jingrou was carried to the bottom of the river by the suddenly more turbulent water flow.

She tried to come out of the water several times, but the surging undercurrent pushed her body underwater again and again.

thump!

As she struggled to the surface, she heard the sound of something falling into the water.

Then someone swam towards her, making a splashing sound.

Not long after, she was rescued to shore by Zhao Kangping.

Zhao Kangping helped her walk ashore.

But Dongfang Jingrou suddenly pushed the man next to her away and swung her fist at him in the face.
