to keep it Do I even have to ask you"Yun Feng put the fragments away and prepared to leave the cave."Hold on, little brother."The Qin team reached out to stop Yunfeng's path."Little brother, we are..."What are these things"

At this moment, Yunfeng is also surrounded by a group of strange things.

"Could this really be a ghost"

After all, there was no information displayed on the goggles and they were just floating aimlessly in the air.

However, those strange things circled Yun Feng from afar, refusing to come closer, as if they were afraid of something.

Since those things didn't pose any threat to him, Yunfeng stopped paying attention and continued moving towards the center.

Soon, he heard the sound of five people talking in the distance. Later, it became panicked and finally turned into screams.

What's wrong with them Did something happen

Yunfeng looked around at the soul that was still following him, frowning.

In order to investigate further, Yunfeng began to approach the several people in front of him.

I hadn't gone far when I saw a man lying on the ground, completely naked.

Silver-white hairs were scattered around his body.

"This… seems to be one of them. There wasn't even a battle just now, how did he die here for no reason"

The person lying on the ground was clearly lifeless.

What on earth could have caused a powerful Awakened being of such high combat prowess to die here so inexplicably

Yun Feng instantly became alert.

Put away the other person's storage ring.

"Li Meng, a sophomore majoring in zoology."

From the opponent's storage ring, a student card was retrieved. It displayed basic information. However, the credits on it could not be transferred.

Yúnfēng walked forward again and discovered three bodies, each with a different manner of death.

There are still no signs of a fight at the scene, and the deaths of the three people were very strange.

But one person, clearly killed by his companions, was identifiable by the twisted neck.

"What on earth happened"

Yunfeng, with his doubts in mind, continued to move deeper.

"It's a shame that the storage rings of these three people were taken."

Looking back at the corpses of several people, I sighed a little.

...ding... (in a muffled voice)...

As it moved forward, a series of crisp sounds rang out.

Yun Feng was suddenly attracted.

Following the sound, he approached step by step.

The five-person team is down to the last one. There's no point in continuing to follow them, and they only followed them in the first place to get into the valley.

Walking and walking, Yun Feng discovered that his position was gradually drifting further away from the center of the mountain valley.

"Where are you trying to lead me"

Yunfeng also relied on his abundant talent, diverse skills, and wide range of equipment to satisfy his curiosity.

As he moved through the magical energy, Yun Feng felt he had arrived at the edge of the valley in no time.

Ding... done.

That crisp sound grew louder and more frequent.

Yun Feng knew he was getting closer to the source of the sound.

"What is this"

A giant black stone pillar appeared before him, the voice he just heard coming from this very pillar.

The moment Yun Feng neared the stone pillar, he felt a sudden dizziness in his mind, as if something had invaded it.

Everything before my eyes began to change.

He found himself sitting at the computer, lines of code displayed on the screen.

"I can't even figure out this simple program code, I got yelled at by the client because of it. I'm such a waste, I won't be coming to work tomorrow."

The angry roar of Zhou Baipi, the boss, still echoed from the phone beside the computer.

"Yunfeng, let's break up. I don't feel happy being with you."

This is a message from my girlfriend who I've been with for seven years.

"Could it be that I just took a nap"

Yún Fēng rubbed his blurry eyes. Everything before him felt so real, yet so familiar.

"It turns out that everything hasn't changed. I'm still the one who, no matter how hard I try, can't get my boss's recognition or a lover's affection, and remains at the bottom rung of society as an office worker."

Yúnfēng smiled wryly at the computer, as if he had already accepted his fate.

"What's the point of living, what's the point of living"

Immediately, this idea began to take root in Yunfeng's mind and grew stronger and stronger.

Just as Yun Feng was about to end his own life, a bolt of lightning crackled beside him.

Yun Feng suddenly came to his senses.

"What a close call!"

Yun Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He had underestimated the power of this eerie stone pillar, almost coming to ruin.

Just now, that thunderclap was another skill awakened by my own lightning element talent. It's called "Thundering Break," a passive skill specifically designed to counter attacks like illusions and sonic magic.

Yun Feng, who had regained consciousness, once again looked at the stone pillar, his eyes filled with a trace of anger.

The stone pillar was nearly ten meters in diameter, its height unknown. One end plunged straight into the heavens, lost in a swirling mass of demonic energy.

On the stone pillar, magic patterns are all over, magical carvings appear, chains entwine.

The previous clanging sound was made by the chains colliding with each other.

Looking up along the stone pillar, you discover that the spirits which were previously around you are now all bound to this pillar.

All those souls now wore expressions of pain.

“Save me... Help me...”

Those souls, upon seeing the peak of Yunfeng drawing near, all struggled. Their bodies were stretched thin and long, trying to break free from their chains.

A stream of magical sounds emanated from those souls.

What surprised Yunfeng the most was that the demonic energy in the valley actually emanated from these souls.

Those soul bodies on the stone pillars were all humanoid in shape and very young.

If I were to die like that, would I also become a soul imprinted on the stone pillar

Yun Feng thought to himself.

"Evil things, today I will destroy you."

Thinking of this, Yun Feng drew his battle sword and slashed at the stone pillar from afar.

When......

A crisp sound rang out, sparks flying everywhere.

There was not a trace left on the stone pillar.

Oh... dear.

A furious voice suddenly rang out from within the stone pillar.

Yunfeng immediately assumed a defensive stance, becoming alert. He concentrated his mental energy to the highest level, for fear of being pulled back into the illusion again.

Then, the imagined counterattack didn't appear. Instead, I felt a sudden flash of an illusion in my mind, which then vanished.

It seems you have me at your mercy.

Without hesitation, Yun Feng launched another attack.

But whether it was physical attacks or elemental attacks, they were all ineffective against the stone pillars.

The only thing that caused the stone pillar to tremble slightly was when Yun Feng unleashed a Five Thunderclap strike.

However, it only caused some of the magic on the surface to dissipate. It was essentially harmless to the entire stone pillar.

"The Electro element talent level is still too low."

After unleashing several Five Thunders and palm strikes, Yunfeng chose to concede.

“Looks like I’ll have to leave here first.”

Yúnfēng tried to use the communication function of his goggles, but he couldn't get in touch with Wenren at all.

"Was it because of this valley, or has the person already left"

Yúnfēng's heart was filled with doubt and confusion.er. They remained perfectly still, as if meditating, waiting for the vehicle to start its journey."Master, the tanks have been activated. In half a day..."The scout who was fighting alongside Yun Feng...
