After all, the dead white-haired old man had said that there were dozens of books left behind by him and the truth of his guess, so Xu Bai wanted to go and investigate.
It was not just for the dozens of progress bars, but more importantly, for the truth.
Although it was only the white-haired old man’s guess about the truth of the depletion of resources in that era, it could be considered a clue.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai controlled his body and flew down the mountain.
When he made this move, Liu Qingfeng maintained the same movement as him, like a bodyguard who did not leave his side.
This fellow did not do anything. He just followed him, but he was still absorbing his divine soul.
The most important thing was that Xu Bai did not feel any pain. It was as if an inexplicable channel had been opened and was constantly pouring in, but his soul was not torn apart.
“It’s ruined.”
Xu Bai didn’t bother with this guy anymore and went to the foot of the mountain.
Sansheng Mountain had already been razed to the ground by Liu Qingfeng. There were ruins everywhere, and there was an empty flat ground at the bottom of the mountain.
When Xu Bai landed on the ground, he carefully looked around.
The surroundings were still dark, and the moon was still hanging high above their heads.
Xu Bai stomped on the ground with his feet. It was solid and heavy, and it did not look like there was anything underground at all.
However, since it was buried here, it was definitely not on the surface, so Xu Bai was not fooled by the surface.
Anyway, they were in the ruins now. Since they couldn’t see anything from the surface, they would blast the surface.
At the thought of this, Xu Bai raised his hand. Gold and grayish-white chaos circled around him, and a dazzling saber light bloomed from his hand.
When he did this, Liu Qingfeng was still standing at the side with empty eyes, constantly absorbing the divine soul.
Xu Bai didn’t care about his body and slashed the ground with his saber.
The terrifying power gradually spread. The ground began to tremble with this saber, and a huge pit gradually appeared.
The ground was sinking, and the saber light continued to advance. When it reached a limit, the deep pit suddenly collapsed.
It was as if there was a space underground that had been completely broken.
There was a huge black cave below, and no light could be seen.
The moonlight shone down, but it did not illuminate too much of the area.
However, Xu Bai could see clearly that there was a huge box under it.
The box was not locked, and the lid was open. Xu Bai saw dozens of books.
A golden progress bar appeared. Looking at the dozens of books, Xu Bai’s eyes suddenly widened. He was like a money-grubber who saw a huge amount of treasure and couldn’t help but get excited.
Dozens of books, a total of dozens of books, equivalent to dozens of progress bars!
Even if it was him, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart at the moment.
Xu Bai rubbed his hands together. Without thinking about anything else, he prepared to jump into the karst cave.
All he could see was the progress bar. He didn’t care about anything else.
However, sometimes, there were times in life when one had to have it, and there was no time in life to force it.
Just as Xu Bai was about to jump in, the space around him suddenly distorted, and a mysterious will echoed in his mind.
Although he didn’t say anything, he told Xu Bai that he was leaving.
Why did he have to leave? It was time for the ruins.
“D * mn, you can’t do this!”
Xu Bai came to his senses and jumped down quickly.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the treasure chest, Xu Bai became more and more anxious.
The space around him was blurry. When he was about to touch the treasure chest, he realized that he was no longer in the ruins.
Of course, he was not at the place where he entered the ruins. Instead, he was in one of the spaces, just like before he came.
The surrounding scenery was gradually shattering and blending. When the shattering and blending reached an extreme, it would return to its original place.
“Blood loss!” Xu Bai almost couldn’t help but roar.
He was so close to touching the treasure chest!
However, he was really just a little bit away. This little bit was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Looking at Liu Qingfeng, who was standing next to him like a block of wood, Xu Bai wanted to kick him, but he held back.
The surrounding scenery was still merging. He knew that he was about to return to the outside world, so he temporarily put away his regretful feelings.
His body surged and transformed into Chu Yu’s figure. He then put on the human skin mask on his face.
This time, he had sneaked in quietly. He could not let others discover his situation. Otherwise, it would be hard to say when the time came.
Although he didn’t get the item, Xu Bai had a new idea.
This thing was a relic. In other words, it had happened at some time in the past.
In that case, could there be a similar mountain in the outside world, and even something at the bottom of the mountain?
He was a very serious person, especially when it came to the progress bar. He really didn’t want to make a loss with dozens of progress bars.
Moreover, there was also the white-haired old man’s guess about that era.
Therefore, Xu Bai had already made up his mind to find that mountain as soon as possible after he left. Only then would he be able to gain something.
The signs of fusion gradually spread. When everything was completely fused, Xu Bai felt his vision blur, and then he appeared beside the river at midnight.
There was a three-way standoff around him, and behind Xu Bai, there was the sound of footsteps.
He turned his head and saw that the soldiers of the Underworld Army who had gone in with him had also come out. However, only half of them were left. It was obvious that the other half had stayed in the ruins forever.
