Infernal Artist

Wow!

There was a sound of water.

Liu Ping stood up from the stream, panting heavily, and quickly looked around.

This is an underground river.

The water was turbid and cold, and the entire river meandered around the gray rock walls, leading to the depths of a downward-facing cave.

The surrounding rock walls are covered with caves, connected irregularly, and it is unknown where they lead.

dark.

silent.

Everything was dead silent and cold.

Waited for a few breaths.

Gloomy wind blew from many caves, making a chorus of whining sounds.

Liu Ping looked at it for a few seconds and was secretly amazed.

There is actually hidden time and space in the world of death.

But when he entered the hidden time and space again, he found that this environment was almost exactly the same as the real world of death just now.

...What is the difference between reality and illusion?

In the void, lines of small characters jumped out:

"Notice!"

"You have used the token: the Spirit-Sending Talisman."

"This token has been consumed."

"Please be careful to explore the current hidden time and space."

Liu Ping looked down and saw that the black talisman in his hand was indeed gone.

He hung his hand from the knife and walked step by step from the river to the shore, walking around the entire cave as if he was looking for something.

soon.

He stood in front of a slightly raised rock, squatted down, and reached out to brush away the dust on the ground.

A broken teleportation circle suddenly came into view.

Liu Ping squatted on the ground and carefully inspected the teleportation circle.

"Sure enough... this magic circle is part of those preparations back then. Could it be that our world has..."

He murmured under his breath.

Before the decisive battle between the human race and the demons, in order to prevent them from being exterminated by the demons after defeat, they mobilized many sects to set up secret refuges in many underground natural caves.

Based on the six arts of cultivation, this place gathers the most advanced defense methods of the human race. It is the last protective barrier of the human race.

I remember that the person responsible for designing these underground shelters was Gua Sheng.

But looking at the current situation, it has obviously been activated here and has been attacked.

Did the monster win?

Something doesn't seem right.

Demons are birds, animals, trees, flowers, grass and fruits that have become spirits.

Demons are born from the evolution of sentient beings who have gone astray.

Demons are alive and do not belong to the category of dead monsters. The two should not be confused.

besides.

The most important thing——

Why is everything here exactly the same as the world of cultivation?

Even the places of refuge are exactly the same!

——It’s impossible for the entire world of cultivation to become part of the world of death.

After all, in countless legends, the realm of death corresponding to the world of cultivation is Huangquan.

Everything in Huangquan is different from the world of cultivation. In various ancient records, there should be places like Naihe Bridge, Forgotten River, Datie Mountain, Hell, and the Hall of Reincarnation, which are places that lead people to reincarnation.

But here there are only coffins, endless coffins, and monsters that enslave souls.

What went wrong?

Thoughts flashed through Liu Ping's mind, but he still couldn't grasp any clues.

"No matter, since it is a place of refuge designed by Master, then these magic circles... I should be able to..."

He put his hand on the magic circle, activated his spiritual power, and tested it briefly.

A few moments.

A spiritual light suddenly flashed on the magic circle, and then disappeared quickly.

Failed to wake up the magic circle!

Liu Ping cheered up and said softly: "Okay!"

Admittedly, I was just a Qi Refining monk, and my spiritual power was simply not enough, so the magic circle was only activated for a moment.

——But in the future, as your cultivation level improves, you can control this magic circle!

In addition, relying on the induction at that moment, Liu Ping had already found the other magic circle closest to here.

He raised his head and looked to the left.

——A few dozen feet away in that direction, there was a silent dark cave.

Just now, vague spiritual power fluctuations came from this direction.

Do you want to go take a look?

Liu Ping was thinking about it, but he felt something in his heart and suddenly looked to the other side.

I saw seven or eight practitioners coming out of another cave.

Practitioner!

Live!

Liu Ping felt excited.

Those practitioners naturally discovered Liu Ping, but perhaps Liu Ping could not pose any threat. Perhaps they themselves were in a hurry. These people did not stop at all and quickly walked across from Liu Ping.

"Quick! Quick!"

"It's coming soon——"

These people supported a practitioner who was covered in blood and hurried towards the cave where various movements came from.

Soon.

They went deeper into the cave and were no longer seen.

Liu Ping was stunned.

The situation seems complicated and strange.

It seems that there must be a surprising secret behind all this.

But no matter what, I have entered this moment——

A place that can house the seriously injured is probably worth a visit.

correct.

He suddenly remembered the ability he had activated before.

It seems to be some kind of acting power.

called——

Following his thoughts, lines of small words appeared in the void:

"You have activated your extraordinary abilities:"

"A person who has no role to play."

"You won't attract undue attention from anyone anymore."

"Time remaining: half a quarter of an hour."

After the experience just now, Liu Ping has some trust in this ability.

He felt a little relieved and quickly walked into the cave.

After passing through a dark and damp passage, not long after, the front suddenly became clear.

Two practitioners guard the cave entrance.

They were all covered in armor, holding weapons in their hands, and looked serious and nervous.

The strange thing is that as soon as Liu Ping appeared, a look of disdain appeared on their faces.

"Qi Refining Realm... This place is full of great monks. You can't come in with your level of cultivation." One person said.

"Forget it, I'll only give you a spiritual stone. You can go to the magic circle next to you to avoid it." Another person said.

Liu Ping honestly took out a spiritual stone and handed it over.

One of the monks took the spirit stone, pointed to the other side impatiently, and made a secret at the same time.

Liu Ping looked in the direction he pointed.

I saw a twist on the rock wall, and a hole opened in the void, revealing the scene inside.

"The magic circle... this is indeed the underground secret place used to preserve the human race's fire."

He was thinking silently in his heart, then he held his hands towards the two of them and got into the opening.

As soon as I walked in, I saw several bonfires burning on the empty rock platform.

The monks sat around the campfire in twos and threes.

When Liu Ping appeared, many spiritual thoughts rushed toward him.

But the next moment.

All spiritual thoughts were withdrawn.

"The little guy in the Qi refining stage..."

Someone muttered softly.

People continued to be busy with their own affairs, and no one paid attention to Liu Ping anymore.

In the void, lines of small characters appeared quickly:

"You are protected by the twelve layers of war array."

"The locking spell on you is blocked."

"Explanation: If you stay here for two hours and twenty-nine minutes, the locking spell on you will disappear."

Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

saved.

He turned his eyes and quickly landed in the center of the field.

A scene was created there using magic -

A huge monster with a body connected to the sky, holding a giant bronze hammer, was walking back and forth anxiously.

Every time it takes a step, the whole ground trembles slightly.

The monks gathered around the scene and discussed:

"This monster is quite rare."

"Indeed, I really don't know what caused it."

"Fortunately, we just have to hide underground and don't have to face this guy."

Liu Ping listened to everyone's discussion and stared straight at the monster.

With his eyesight, he can naturally see that the monster's strength has far surpassed that of the monks in the Divine Illumination Realm...

Not a monster, not a demon.

Even the demon is no match for it...

What happened to this world?

Liu Ping's back felt slightly chilly.

He walked to the corner, found a small fire and sat down.

Around the fire, there were already two Qi Refining Realm practitioners sitting, one male and one female, both of similar strength to Liu Ping.

When Liu Ping arrived, the male cultivator was talking to the female cultivator, and neither of them even raised their eyes.

The male cultivator sighed: "I was searching for materials when it happened. I didn't expect that something like this suddenly happened. I had to interrupt my plan and come here to escape. Oh, what a bad luck."

Liu Ping said tentatively: "Fellow Taoist, how did you find out about that?"

The male cultivator glanced at him and didn't answer.

Liu Ping had no choice but to cup his hands towards the female cultivator and say: "This fairy is here to escape, I don't know——"

The female cultivator also ignored him, but followed the male cultivator's words: "I was practicing at that time. As soon as the incident happened, I immediately came here to hide. I just hope that this time it won't be too long."

Liu Ping had no choice but to turn to the male cultivator again, clasping his fists and smiling: "Fellow Taoist, the specific situation is-"

The male cultivator's eyes passed over him and landed on the female cultivator, and he said: "There was a bit of noise this time... Maybe one of the adults accidentally alerted those scary guys. I guess we need to stay a little longer."

Liu Ping took a breath and said loudly: "Fellow Taoist, what do you think happened?"

His voice was a little loud, and the two monks finally looked at him.

But the next moment, the female cultivator spoke again: "By the way, since we are both in the Qi-refining period, why don't we state our names and chat with each other about our cultivation experiences?"

The male cultivator immediately turned his head and looked at the female cultivator.

"I'm Hong Tao," the male cultivator said, cupping his fists.

"I'm Zhao Chanyi." The female cultivator also cupped her fists and said.

"Liu Ping, please take care of me." Liu Ping clasped his fists and introduced himself.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Hong." The female cultivator smiled at the male cultivator.

"Fairy Zhao, please discuss the foundation building method together, can you?" The male cultivator also smiled at the female cultivator.

"No problem, but I don't know where Fellow Daoist Hong is searching for materials." The female monk said.

"I know the place. You and I are both Qi Refining Realm monks. We will go together soon so that we can take care of each other." The male monk said.

"It's true," the female nun said.

The two were discussing animatedly.

Liu Ping clasped his hands in his fists and remained frozen there.

very good……

This is the first time since I entered Taoism that I have been ignored to this extent.

Liu Ping slowly adjusted his mood, slowly exhaled, and slowly put down his hands.

Is this what is called "a person without a role"?

Something... went wrong.
