0"It seems that those who have turned into mummified corpses are the minority. Most of them probably have no bones left."

The Red Sparrow couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the devastated scene before her.    

    

The area of the ruins was very large, and the buildings inside were all built with solid rocks.    

    

At this moment, it was in ruins like a pile of crushed rocks. From this, it could be seen how many ferocious attacks this place had suffered over the past few thousand years.    

    

The people in the alley who had turned into dried corpses were definitely the luckiest of the unfortunate, because they had at least preserved their corpses.    

    

Yang Xuan looked at the ruins in front of him and said, "After reaching a certain level of cultivation, there will be slight changes to the bones, meridians, and muscles."    

    

"That's why some of them were killed by those tentacles and their corpses disappeared, while some of them with higher cultivation levels preserved their bodies."    

    

"We were lucky to be able to get here safely this time. If not, those people who turned into dried corpses in the alley might not be any weaker than us."    

    

"Especially those special guards with whips. For such an important mission, the royal family must have been the cream of the crop that had been selected through thousands and thousands of selections."    

    

Red Sparrow felt that this matter was rather proud and said proudly. "I didn't think that we would be the first people to come here after so many years. This shows that we are very capable. These experts from all the dynasties are not as good as us. This cow can brag for a lifetime. "    

    

Yang Xuan shook his head gently. "Firstly, I just said that a large part of the reason why the two of us were able to arrive here safely was due to luck."    

    

"If the Black Water Armor hadn't appeared in time, the two of us would have been dead by now. So, it can't be considered that our abilities are stronger than the experts of the previous dynasties. We are just a little luckier than them."    

    

"Second, the two of us are not the first people to come here."    

    

As Yang Xuan spoke, he pointed at the various weapons scattered on the ruins and said, "These weapons flew over from that direction. They should have been inserted into the stone wall."    

    

"At this time, these weapons are all scattered on the ground. This means that many people had come here before, and they picked the best part of these weapons and took it away."    

    

"Those who can come here are definitely not ordinary people, so the weapons they carry with them are definitely not ordinary."    

    

"If any one of these weapons is randomly picked out and brought outside, then it will likely cause the various powers to fight over them."    

    

After hearing this, Red Sparrow revealed a look of contempt and said, "These people are still experts, so why are they so petty? They even want to take other people's weapons. If they were to say it, wouldn't it be too shameful?"    

    

Yang Xuan said with a smile, "Tomb robbing is the same as stealing things. It's just that there's a difference between stealing a living person or a dead person. They were originally here to tomb robbing, so how could they care about anything else? Let's go. We have just passed the first stage. There are still four rounds left. I wonder if we can pass them."    

    

Yang Xuan was fully prepared for the dangers that he would face in the future.    

    

The first stage was already so difficult, let alone the remaining four stages.    

    

However, Yang Xuan did not feel afraid or pessimistic at all, because he knew that in a situation where he could not escape, fear and pessimism would not help him. These emotions would push away the last glimmer of hope.    

    

The only thing he could do was to forget about these things and face them with confidence and determination.    

    

The two of them continued on the path marked on the map.    

    

They didn't encounter anything strange on the way. When they were about to reach the designated location on the second map, Yang Xuan suddenly stopped.    

    

"Why did you stop? Don't tell me you want to retreat? We have no way out now. Didn't we agree to charge forward according to the map?"    

    

The red sparrow was completely different from the normal way of thinking. The first thing that came to mind was not to ask Yang Xuan if he had sensed danger, but to worry that Yang Xuan would suddenly change his mind.    

    

Compared to the possible price of the danger ahead, the red sparrow was more interested in what kind of exciting game the second round would be.    

    

She didn't know if she was brave or crazy.    

    

Yang Xuan frowned slightly and looked ahead. "Before we encountered the first stage, we encountered dried corpses one after another on the way."    

    

"But this place is less than a minute away from the second checkpoint marked on the map, and there's nothing around. This doesn't make sense."    

    

When Red Sparrow heard that Yang Xuan wasn't going to change his mind, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Who cares? We have to get through it anyway."    

    

"And you also said that there's still a minute to go before the second checkpoint. This means that this place is relatively safe for the time being. It's normal that there are no corpses."    

    

Yang Xuan let out a breath. He felt that what Red Sparrow said made sense. On the contrary, his nerves were too tight, and he was starting to be suspicious.    

    

The two of them continued forward. After passing through a winding cave corridor, what appeared in front of them was a pool of water that was about a thousand square meters.    

    

There was a stone bridge about half a meter long on top of the pool. It was cylindrical in shape, and it was covered with dark green moss. Coupled with the circular surface, it was obvious that it was very difficult to pass through.    

    

Rather than calling it a stone bridge, it was more like a thick stone pillar that was placed on the two ends of the pool.    

    

On the other side of the pond, the strange purple flower appeared again. However, this time, the purple flower did not make any sound.    

    

The water in the pond seemed to be pitch black, and one could not see the depth.    

    

The red sparrow stood by the side and looked at it. It asked in puzzlement, "Is the second stage that simple? This stone bridge might be very difficult for ordinary people to pass, but for cultivators, even the most basic of cultivators, it shouldn't be difficult to pass. "    

    

Yang Xuan gently shook his head and slowly said, "I'm afraid it is not as simple as I thought."    

    

The red sparrow said again, "Even if there is some mystery hidden on that stone bridge, for us, we don't need to pass through the bridge at this distance. We just need to use our movement techniques to fly over, right?"    

    

However, Yang Xuan shook his head again and sighed, "It's not that simple. Compared to the first stage, this stage will only be more difficult."    

    

After saying that, Yang Xuan looked at the pond and the stone bridge for a while, then walked a dozen steps to the side. He turned around and said to the red sparrow, "Now, open your body and jump in front of me from your side."    

    

"Ah? What are you trying to do now?"    

    

Red Sparrow was confused. She was only ten steps away from Yang Xuan, less than ten meters away.    

    

This distance did not require much effort for her, so she did not understand why Yang Xuan wanted her to do such a boring thing.    

    

However, seeing Yang Xuan's serious expression, Red Sparrow could only do as he said. The tip of her foot lightly tapped on the ground, and just as she was about to open her body and rush towards Yang Xuan, it suddenly realized that its body had only jumped less than half a foot from the ground before it fell down again.    

    

"Ah? What's going on? Why is my movement technique not working?"    

    

The red sparrow was surprised.
