In the abandoned city lord's mansion in Fanyang City, nearly twenty people including Tianming and Yang Tao were resting in a garden in the city lord's mansion.

Since entering the city lord's mansion yesterday, Yang Tao and others have been searching for the mansion for a night but have been lost. Not to mention finding the secret passage to leave the city, they have not even seen a ghost.

At this time, Yang Tao and others were lying in the abandoned pavilion in the garden, thinking about countermeasures.

"The city lord's mansion is not much big, why can't I find the secret passage? Is there no secret passage in Fanyang City?" After searching for a night, Yang Tao had to doubt whether his judgment was wrong. Perhaps there was no secret passage in Fanyang City at all.

If the City Lord's Mansion was in ruins, the secret passage might have been buried, but the city lord's mansion is now very complete compared to other buildings in the city, and it has almost never suffered any damage. If there is a secret passage, it shouldn't be difficult to find it?

What made Yang Tao strange was that the whole night last night seemed to be in the city lord's mansion, as if he had been visiting the city lord's mansion. In fact, he felt that he had only searched for a small part of it, and this feeling was indescribable.

Everyone who had been busy for a day and a night was already very tired. In addition, yesterday's injuries had not yet fully recovered, so they could only take a break for a while while waiting for the day to arrive, and perhaps they would find something during the day.

As the rising sun rose, a scorching sun appeared in front of Yang Tao and others. Even Yang Tao and others who had already known about the general situation in the city lord's mansion yesterday, now seeing a red sun in this dead place buried in the fog again, still shocked Yang Tao and others inexplicably.

Although Hong Ri usually brings a huge spiritual impact to people in the depths of this dead place that is covered by heavy fog yesterday afternoon and sees the sky, Yang Tao and others who have been in the depths of the dead for a long time were instantly stunned, as if they had come to heaven from hell. They thought it was an illusion, which made Yang Tao and others dull for a long time before they realized that all this was real. Now that they saw the scene of the city lord's mansion again, everyone was still shocked by the scene in front of them.

As the red sun rose, the entire city lord's mansion was reflected in the light. For Yang Tao and others who had been in a strange and dark situation, they were naturally in a good mood to suddenly see such a scene.

The entire city lord's mansion seemed different from other places in the dead, and was peaceful and peaceful. A sea of ​​red clouds thousands of feet above the city lord's mansion was rolling, and a large amount of sunlight shone out from the red clouds, dyeing the entire city lord's mansion with pink rays, and embellishing the entire city lord's mansion like a dream. If it weren't for the gray-black fog outside, if it weren't for the dangerous place deep in the dead, Yang Tao would have thought he had come to a paradise. Unfortunately, this place was dangerous, even if it seemed very safe, it would have made people feel worried and worried.

"I don't know how this place was formed. Such a place can appear deep in the dead, but you can't see such a wonder outside."

"Ahem... In general, this kind of strange scene is nothing. What I am even more curious is that there is no monster in the city lord's mansion. If there is no danger here, no one will believe it. It's just that we visited the city lord's mansion for a night yesterday but nothing happened, which made me feel a little confused whether this place is really dangerous."

"You can't say that. In my opinion, this city lord's mansion is much weirder than other places in the dead. Not to mention there are no monsters, even this well-preserved city lord's mansion is extremely puzzled. After all, this city has been abandoned for more than a year, and the environment in the dead is harsh, so it is really unreasonable to preserve it so well."

...

Fang Cun and Sima Ying looked around the entire City Lord's Mansion and talked about the various strange things in the City Lord's Mansion, but they had no idea.

The rest of the people were unable to answer the questions they were talking about. Fortunately, they are safe now. Although they don’t know how the situation in the city lord’s mansion is now formed, and they have not found a way to leave the city, there should not be too many changes in the short term.

After discussing with Sima Ying, Yang Tao and Sima Ying decided to stay in the pavilion with several people with severe injuries and low strength in the pavilion. Yang Tao and Sima Ying each took their subordinates to find the secret passage to leave the city as soon as possible in the city lord's mansion. Once found, they would go back to the pavilion to meet. If they had not been found at night, they would return to the pavilion to avoid accidents. After all, the city lord's mansion was really weird. If they were dispersed, they would likely encounter unexpected situations.

Yang Tao and others did this and hoped to escape from this strange and unexplained city lord's mansion as soon as possible to avoid unexpected situations.

After allocating everyone, Yang Tao and Sima Ying searched in the direction they selected with their men.

Just as I saw yesterday, today I can see that the city lord's mansion is quite complete, with pavilions, towers, gardens and water pavilions not in any dilapidated situation. This is really abnormal and puzzling in the depths of this chaotic death.

It is precisely because the city lord's mansion is preserved and not messy. The situation of the city lord's mansion can be said to be clear at a glance. It is extremely simple to find. Although there are many courtyards in the city lord's mansion, it does not take much time to search for a place. Therefore, it does not take much time to search for it. After searching for it for a morning, Yang Tao still found nothing. He could only call the few people around him to come down to a water pavilion and eat something to replenish his energy.

Not long after sitting in the water pavilion, Yang Tao, who was eating dry food, found that the chairs on the water pavilion were spotless and seemed to be cleaned often. This was almost impossible for a water pavilion that had been abandoned for more than a year. However, there were too many strange things in the city lord's mansion. Yang Tao was only surprised by this for a while and then continued to eat without caring.

It was difficult to swallow dry food. After just recovering its strength, Yang Tao packed up and took his men to search in the mansion. Soon a few more hours passed, and the sun had already deviated and there was not much time left before evening. I searched in the city lord's mansion for a day but had no gains. It seemed that I had to stay in the city lord's mansion for at least one day.

"Sharp" "Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding"

Just as Yang Tao was about to continue searching, a sound of fighting suddenly came from a distance. Yang Tao suddenly shuddered, and the sound of fighting suddenly sounded in the quiet city lord's mansion. However, it was unusual. Yang Tao hurriedly led his subordinates to quietly run towards the east where the sound came.

After a rapid run, when Yang Tao arrived at the place, there was only a smell of blood coming. I saw several corpses lying across a flowerbed dozens of meters away in front of Yang Tao.

Yang Tao walked into the edge of the flowerbed and the smell of blood became more and more intense. Looking at the several corpses in the flowerbed, Yang Tao couldn't bear to look at them. He saw that all the corpses who died in the flowerbed were missing arms and legs, covered with holes, and even dismembered. The death was extremely tragic. Fortunately, none of these people were Sima Ying and others, which made Yang Tao feel much more at ease.

"But where did these people come from?" Yang Tao was a little curious about the people lying on the ground, but then he realized who these people were. He saw an ant colony chasing a group of strange people in the city, and it seemed that they were from that group.

Unfortunately, these people were beyond recognition, otherwise Yang Tao would have recognized that the two of them were the two players' guild leaders, Qisha and Daozhezi, who had some interaction with him.

However, it doesn't matter who died here for Yang Tao at this time. What matters is how they died. Judging from these wounds, it seems to be forcibly torn apart by something, not like it was caused by weapons or wild animals.

Yang Tao walked carefully around the periphery of the flowerbed with a long sword in his hand, checking the situation of the flowerbed.

This flowerbed is a radius of hundreds of meters in a radius, with flowers blooming in various colors, and several willows that have been around for more than ten years.

The place where the body was located was covered by willows, and the entire flowerbed was not clearly visible. Now, after walking out of the willow trees, the entire flowerbed is full of views.

Yang Tao carefully inspected the situation of the eye flower bed, but there was nothing special. The only special place was the very strange flower and plant in the center of the flower bed, which radiated a rich fragrance.

Yang Tao didn't know the strange flower and plant in front of him, but from the flower and plant that was several feet tall, the rich fragrance, the huge potted flowers, and the blue streaming light floating on the flowers, you can see the extraordinaryness of this flower and plant.

With the previous corpse on his side, Yang Tao did not dare to come forward rashly. Even though the flowers and this flowerbed looked like there was no danger, Yang Tao did not think that he would be buried here like those corpses.

"Centenary Bones Grass: a second-grade medicinal herb, a rare herb that is born with a large number of corpses. The more corpses, the heavier the corpse qi, the faster it grows. If the year reaches a thousand years, it is a first-grade rare medicinal herb. Effect: It has the magical effect of flesh and white bones, and the life-sustaining effect. Special reminder: The rhizomes of corpses are extremely developed and will automatically emit a rich aroma to attract prey. Use strong rhizomes to strangle them and absorb the essence of the corpse. If the hundred-year-old corpse grass does not have the strength of a third-rate general or above, do not get close to it."

The information found by the identification skills made Yang Tao frown. The city lord's mansion is indeed not a good place. There is such a powerful trap. If there weren't a few corpses, he would have come to the vicinity of the herb and would not even know how to die. After all, who would have thought that this seemingly beautiful flower was a fatal trap.

Although Yang Tao has barely reached the level of a third-rate famous general in some aspects, he has not reached the level of the overall situation. It is better to go as far as the corpse grass when he sees this corpse grass. Although there is Gao Shun, a second-rate famous general, who should be able to take the corpse grass, it should be fine, but this is just Yang Tao's guess. After all, the information only mentions that people with the strength of a third-rate famous general or above may get close to the corpse grass, but there is no way to get the herbs. If Gao Shun dies during the process of picking the grass, and the corpse grass is highly poisonous, Gao Shun has an accident, then Yang Tao has no place to cry. What's more, the effect of the corpse grass is optional for Yang Tao. He did not know that Zhang Ning needs this herb, so he did not feel that he had to harvest this herb.

After looking at the Centennial Corpse Grass in the center of the flower garden, Yang Tao returned with his men and saw that the original corpses had already shriveled into mummies. It was obvious that the flesh and blood essence was absorbed by the Centennial Corpse Grass, and it turned into corpses with skin wrapped in bones.

Seeing the scene in front of him, even though Yang Tao had experienced many battles before, his eyelids jumped quickly and quickly took his people away from this place of failure.

Later, when they continued to search for the secret passage eastward, Yang Tao and others were even more careful, for fear that they would fall into the trap and not even have time to resist and be in a different place.

As they continued to move forward, Yang Tao and others did not encounter any danger. There seemed to be not many traps in the city lord's mansion. Otherwise, even if they were cautious, they would not miss the trap. However, when Yang Tao came to a garden, he was a little stunned.

Because this garden is not another place, it is the garden that was originally located in the south of the city lord's mansion, and the few people in the garden pavilion were the people who were left by Fang Cun and others. It is not that there is something unusual in this garden, but that Yang Tao and the others have been walking east from the garden since the morning. It should have been to the east of the city lord's mansion, so why did they come to the south of the city lord's mansion?

"This is like going around, or it's called a ghost hitting a wall? But now it's broad daylight and the sun in the sky is used as a reference for directions. Why can you still circle around when you go in one direction?" Yang Tao was very puzzled by what happened in front of him. How could people who kept going east go around? Besides, the city lord's mansion is not big, and it is not an endless desert. If it is a desert, the sun's direction may not have much effect, but in this small city lord's mansion, even if the city lord's mansion is very huge, it shouldn't be circled.

Yang Tao couldn't understand this, but now it was getting late, and even if he was looking for it, he might not be able to find the secret passage. Since he had returned to the pavilion, Yang Tao did not go out to search. Instead, he returned to the pavilion and told Fang Cun what he had encountered today, while waiting for Sima Ying to come back to see if they would have any other gains.
