Su Xi looked at the small valley before her, and suddenly disbelief washed over her, feeling that she shouldn't be seeing this thing at all.
Although everything appeared ordinary, Su Xi could actually sense the hidden risks within it.
That sense of danger made her feel as if she had walked into a place she shouldn't have, a place that reminded her of the unforgettable past in space.
The fluctuating aura emanating from this place at this moment made the entire area instantly possess a different flavor. Amidst this danger, her heart couldn't help but become tense.
Heishan Laoya felt nothing out of the ordinary upon seeing all this, and instead, a different feeling stirred within him.
This feeling was remarkably familiar.
It was as if hundreds of years ago, he had experienced something similar.
Seeing the scene before her, Su Xi didn't offer much explanation. Instead, she picked up a stone from the ground and threw it.
Since something was already strange, it was naturally necessary to test it first. It wouldn't be worth it to go in herself.
As the stone landed ahead, a series of ripples instantly appeared.
With the ripples emerging, even more intense fluctuations followed.
Upon feeling this powerful fluctuation, Heishan Laoya's expression changed instantly.
The aura emanating from the ripples was quite unusual.
It made him feel as if his entire body was melting, clearly unable to withstand it.
Opening his mouth, he looked left and right, asking incredulously, "What happened?"
He could feel that the current situation was abnormal but didn't know what was happening.
Since becoming a soul, he had lost quite a bit of his memory. The feeling was only familiar; he didn't know the specific reason.
Seeing this, Su Xi suddenly explained, "There's a treasure here."
"Treasure?"
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, everyone turned their gaze towards her, wanting to know what treasure she was referring to.
After all, the aura emanating from that barrier suggested it was fraught with danger, not the slightest hint of treasure.
What kind of treasure could result in such a situation?
Therefore, for safety's sake, the most important thing was to ascertain if there truly was a treasure here.
Otherwise, if they went in without any treasure.
They would not only fail to obtain what they desired but also lose their lives. That would be a substantial loss.
As a person, one shouldn't engage in such unprofitable ventures.
Hearing Heishan Laoya's doubt, Su Xi confidently stated, "There's definitely a treasure here. And I also know that many people are already here. If we are late, we will suffer."
Su Xi didn't want to have come all this way for nothing, so she took the lead and entered.
Such a valuable treasure absolutely must not fall into the hands of others.
Seeing Su Xi enter, the others followed suit.
Their sole purpose was to find out what this treasure Su Xi spoke of was. Other matters were not within their consideration.
As they entered the small valley, they had expected to encounter danger.
However, they found the valley to be quite ordinary, no different from other places. If not for the restriction at the entrance, no one would have thought there was anything unusual here.
As for treasure, it was clearly absent.
Seeing this, Su Xi didn't relax. Instead, her gaze locked onto a certain spot, and she said, "Come out, what kind of heroes hide and cower?"
Ouyang Chu Ge and Heishan Laoya followed Su Xi's gaze to that spot.
There were people here?
Why hadn't they sensed them?
Their cultivation was not weak. If there were indeed people, they wouldn't have failed to detect them. If they truly couldn't detect them, it could only mean the other party's cultivation was exceedingly powerful.
Where could anyone possibly be hiding in this place now?
After Su Xi spoke, there was no reaction.
Just as Ouyang Chu Ge and Heishan Laoya thought Su Xi might have misjudged, they saw her unleash her fire-stoking stick.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the sound of ice cracking, two people stumbled out from seemingly empty space.
Looking at the two, Su Xi's face broke into a smile.
These methods, even if they could evade her detection, were completely useless against the scrutiny of the supercomputer.
The two looked at Su Xi, their faces filled with shock.
What had happened?
Their formation was clearly integrated with its surroundings. How had Su Xi discovered them?
Even someone several levels higher in cultivation couldn't have found them. Su Xi's cultivation was similar to theirs; how had she managed it?
Was it sheer luck, or had Su Xi truly discovered them the moment she appeared?
However, before they could even utter polite words, Su Xi had already chosen to strike. Faced with this, they could only defend themselves.
Otherwise, if they missed certain opportunities, all that awaited them would be eternal damnation.
They had initially intended to engage Su Xi in conversation, but they hadn't anticipated Su Xi's attack would be so potent.
They had no way to cope and were directly incapacitated.
???
"Who do you belong to?" They had never heard of any prince having such powerful subordinates.
"You are already dead, why bother asking so many questions? Asking so much is just talking nonsense to yourself." Su Xi grinned at them and then moved her hands, preparing to take their heads.
At this sight, their faces showed disbelief.
Who were these people?
Why did they possess such formidable skills?
They had initially assumed Su Xi would interrogate them thoroughly after capturing them. They had even prepared their excuses, but who knew Su Xi wouldn't ask anything, completely unconcerned about them.
This was unexpected; even a protagonist shouldn't be this arrogant.
Had the author perhaps revealed something, causing Su Xi to be indifferent to their words?
Alas, they didn't have time to comprehend any further reasoning before collapsing to the ground.
After dealing with them, Su Xi instructed Ouyang Chu Ge, "To avoid alarming others, we must act quickly. Otherwise, by the time those people react, we will be in great trouble."
Ouyang Chu Ge nodded upon hearing Su Xi's words, indicating he understood.
Heishan Laoya sensed the surroundings carefully and then pointed towards a small grove, "Let's go there. I sense something good in that direction."
Seeing Heishan Laoya intending to lead them into a small grove, Su Xi touched her nose with a hint of helplessness, asking curiously, "Is it really okay for you to lead us into a small grove like this?"
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Heishan Laoya stopped in his tracks, remaining unresponsive for a long time.
????
What was she talking about?
Seeing the confusion on Heishan Laoya's face, Su Xi chuckled, "I was just joking. Let's hurry."
She sensed that the treasure was also in that direction, so she naturally couldn't miss it.
It seemed that Heishan Laoya's enemies had already found the treasure.
Since someone had already scouted ahead, they could conveniently reap the benefits.
As Su Xi and the others stepped into the small grove, the seemingly ordinary grove instantly transformed into a dark, shadowy cave.
The cave had winding paths, and colored smoke continuously billowed out. Along many of the paths, there were various wails and roars.
Seeing the eerie scene, Su Xi quickly chose a direction, "We'll go this way."
According to the supercomputer's map, the treasure's location was precisely in that direction.
Hearing Su Xi, Heishan Laoya's eyes showed confusion.
Because he sensed the enemies were in another direction.
Su Xi heard Heishan Laoya's words and showed a pensive expression, saying, "It seems those people took the wrong path. Let's quickly take the good stuff and then deal with them."
The others, hearing Su Xi, naturally had no objections.
They proceeded along the leftmost path.
As they moved forward, the smoke grew increasingly dense, soon reaching a point where sight was obscured. Even though Ouyang Chu Ge was right beside her, she seemed unable to sense him.
"What kind of cursed place is this?" Ouyang Chu Ge's face was grave upon discovering this situation.
At this moment, it shouldn't have been like this at all.
His perception far surpassed that of many others. Yet now, he couldn't see anyone or sense anything else. Such an eerie situation made him incredulous.
To him, this situation was utterly abnormal.
Nothing could escape his perception.
Su Xi also noticed this but showed no surprise, instead displaying delight.
The stronger the illusionary ability, the more potent the effect of what lay before them.
After walking for not much longer, Ouyang Chu Ge suddenly felt a dizziness, as if he were drunk, making it difficult to walk.
Despite his best efforts to control himself, he was completely helpless.
"Thump!"
With one misstep, he even fell directly to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Xi asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Why do you seem so unwell all of a sudden?"
What was going on? Was Ouyang Chu Ge trying to stage an accident now?
