The tree root, as thin as a thumb, quickly burst into golden flames and then turned into charcoal.

The tree roots climbing all over the wall of the cave were suddenly stimulated and all "came alive", like a dense swarm of snakes crawling on the wall.

The Sophora japonica tree spirit did not expect that this foreign mortal would have such extraordinary wisdom. Seeing that his lie was exposed, it simply stopped pretending and said sternly:

"Since you don't want to come over, then go and die."

The floor of the grotto cracked open, the fragments bulged, and thick tree roots broke out of the ground, like twisted tentacles, curling towards Zhang Yuanqing.

At this distance, Zhang Yuanqing could escape even without the red dancing shoes.

Sure enough, he wanted to trick me into getting closer. Zhang Yuanqing advanced instead of retreating. He used a sliding shovel to avoid the entanglement of the tree roots and shortened the distance between himself and the locust tree. Then he jumped up and jumped several meters high, evading the sweep again.

More and more tree roots break through the surface and dance wildly in the grotto.

Zhang Yuanqing jumped among the tentacles with graceful posture. No matter how hard the tree roots tried, they just couldn't catch him.

If you don't conquer the red dancing shoes and just rely on the magic pestle, the death rate for novices facing this level will be extremely high.

The thumping red dance shoes were sprinting on the wall, avoiding the entanglement of the tree roots, slapping, and flicking his knees, pushing Zhang Yuanqing through the pursuit of the tree roots like an arrow, and crashed into the trunk of the tree.

Seeing the incoming humans, Tree Trunk's face showed clear fear.

boom!

The stones at the base of the tree roots cracked, and more roots blew out, forming a wooden wall.

Zhang Yuanqing gave the Demon-Conquering Pestle a powerful blow.

Golden flames spread on the surface of the wooden wall, and the burning locust tree spirit screamed angrily.

Zhang Yuanqing smashed through the carbonized wooden wall and sent the three sharp edges of the magic pestle into the tree trunk.

Duh!

The three-sided spikes penetrated deeply into the tree trunk, and a brilliant scorching sun erupted from the dark cave.

The golden light twisted the tree trunk and distorted the human face, causing it to scream in agony and emit green smoke.

In an instant, the souls hidden in the tree trunks also turned into smoke amidst the screams.

All ghosts and monsters disappeared, disappearing in the golden light.

The golden light dissipated and the cave returned to darkness, but it suddenly became clean and clear.

The first thing Zhang Yuanqing did was not to check whether the Sophora Tree Spirit was completely dead, but to quickly unwear the red dancing shoes and put them in his inventory.

It has been almost five minutes since entering the cave.

After putting away the red dancing shoes, Zhang Yuanqing turned his attention to the big banyan tree. It was withered, its bark was cracked, it lost moisture, and its roots were scattered throughout the cave.

A cold voice sounded in Zhang Yuanqing's mind:

Ding, congratulations on completing the S-level trial mission, the character card is opened, and the rewards are being settled.

Obtained items/props: Demonic pestle.

Reward experience points: 100%

You have become a nocturnal god.

Reward experience points: 20%

The character card reward is activated, and the reward props are: red dancing shoes.

Leave the spiritual realm in five minutes

It was finally over. Zhang Yuanqing felt physically and mentally exhausted, and his whole body seemed to be exhausted.

He cleared the Sheling Tunnel and accomplished something that no one had been able to accomplish in decades.

As the prompt sounded, the black moon mark on Zhang Yuanqing's forehead stood out, and a strange and mysterious power was released from the hot mark, rushing into his body with an almost arrogant and unreasonable attitude.

His skin was red, like a cooked shrimp. The weird and mysterious power washed over his body, blending into each cell and each bone. The injuries on his arms healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He twitched involuntarily, and two illusory black moons appeared in his eyes, and then disappeared.

The pain quickly disappeared, and then came the comfort like running in a hot spring.

It was so comfortable. Zhang Yuanqing felt lazy all over and wanted to stretch out. He instinctively looked down and was surprised to see his body standing on the same spot.

Did I experience an out-of-body experience?

Panic filled his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to return to his physical body. As soon as he thought about it, his soul immediately sank and merged into his body.

After regaining control of his body, Zhang Yuanqing discovered that this body had something extra, something called talent.

He accepted this talent naturally, as if he was born with it.

At the same time, I just feel that my body is full of endless energy and power, and I even have the illusion of blowing up a planet with one punch.

Zhang Yuanqing opens the character attributes panel:

Zhang Yuanqing opened the inventory, and the red dancing shoes were lying quietly in the first grid. The half-hour countdown had disappeared.

He officially became the owner of red dancing shoes.

Two minutes later, he initially adapted to his physical condition, and the wounds on both arms had healed.

Then, Zhang Yuanqing turned his attention to the sarcophagus.

The end of the mission means that the exploration level reaches 100%, so the sarcophagus is empty?

"It seems that the Sophora japonica tree spirit is the temple blessing. In this way, all the "characters" have appeared. How did he become the tree spirit? Is his body in the sarcophagus?"

With this thought in mind, Zhang Yuanqing strolled to the sarcophagus and planned to lick the bag. There might be a treasure buried in the coffin.

There are still more than two minutes left before exiting the spiritual realm, which is enough time.

To be on the safe side, he summoned the red dancing shoes again and chose wearing mode.

The sarcophagus was wrapped with dry tree roots. Zhang Yuanqing wielded the magic pestle to cut off the roots that had lost their moisture one by one, and only then could he see the full picture of the sarcophagus.

About two meters long, the coffin body is carved with exquisite patterns, and the lid is covered with a light layer of ash.

"Zhaza..."

He slowly pushed open the coffin lid and looked intently inside the coffin. As a night wandering god, he could easily see through the darkness even without the help of the magic pestle.

Lying in the sarcophagus was a female corpse, wearing an ancient skirt that had long since decayed. Her arms were crossed on her flat belly, her waist was as thin as a willow, and her figure was graceful and showed no signs of decay.

The female corpse has a beautiful appearance, with cheek lines outlining a perfect face, a straight and delicate nose, sexy but pale lips, tightly closed eyes, and thick and staggered eyelashes.

Stunning beauty.

Zhang Yuanqing stepped back in shock, with only one thought in his mind:

Is she really the Empress of Sandao Mountain?!

Compared with the sculptures in the main hall, this female corpse is less charitable, more cool, less round, and more thin than a young woman.

But their facial features are definitely similar.

"Is the Sophora Tree Spirit telling the truth? The source of the disappearance of the disciples in the temple is the Empress of Sandao Mountain?"

For a moment, he was inexplicably frightened and had doubts about his own judgment, and wrong judgment would inevitably be accompanied by a huge crisis.

"No, no, my mission has indeed been completed, which means my guess is correct. So, the empress in the sarcophagus is a hidden mission?"

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly regretted opening the coffin.

Since the Sandao Mountain Empress lies in the sarcophagus, there must be a deeper plot hidden in the mountain temple.

This is very likely to trigger a series of bad chain reactions, such as triggering hidden tasks.

He was just about to put the sarcophagus back when he suddenly saw a dark luster from the lips of the female corpse.

Got something?

After a slight hesitation, he pinched his pointed chin, opened his plump and sexy lips, and took a clear look at the dark luster.

It is a dark and pure bead.
