Chapter 82 Sanqing Palace

Feng Ling asked: "Should we go up first or down first?"

Huangfu Miaomiao's face wrinkled as if she had eaten sour plums. "Hmm... According to the name of the place, Sanqing Palace feels more like a safe zone, but judging from the location, there must be a lot of monsters on the mountain. It must be safer at the foot of the mountain..."

She was in a dilemma again, as if she had difficulty making a decision.

Feng Ling said to Li Qing: "Use your beads to calculate. Isn't the second time also 48% accurate?"

Li Qing took out her cell phone as she was told and removed three beads from the cell phone chain.

As he was opening it, he glanced at Feng Ling with a helpless look in his eyes, then threw the bead upwards, identified the angle of its fall, and said, "Go up."

"Okay, let's go." Feng Ling was very satisfied.

She felt that taking Li Qing with her was an absolutely correct decision.

Huangfu Miaomiao followed behind her, pouting unhappily, feeling as if she was of no use.

The group continued along the mountain road.

It got dark quickly.

The sun was about to set when they entered the maze. Now, dozens of minutes have passed, night has fallen, and it is about to be completely dark.

The fog got heavier.

The roars of beasts and the chirping of birds echoed in the mountains and forests. Each sound was strange, some like the screams of wild cats, and some like the strange laughter of babies.

The rustling sound in the grass was hidden behind everyone's heels.

In the distance, blue-green ghost lights were floating, like lanterns lit by wandering souls, sometimes far away, sometimes near, flickering faintly.

At first, Cat Spider and Cat Owl ate at the buffet along the way, but later, perhaps because they were full or they sensed the danger after nightfall, they gradually became restrained and followed Feng Ling closely, no longer staying away.

They walked for half an hour.

Later on, it was so dark that one could hardly see one's hand in front of one's face, so Feng Ling and Huangfu Miaomiao, who had better night vision, replaced Li Qing and walked at the front of the team.

When they were approaching Sanqing Palace, Feng Ling heard Huangfu Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief.

"Are we there yet?" Feng Ling asked.

Huangfu Miaomiao nodded happily: "Yes! I saw a light ahead, it should be a safe zone!"

Huangfu Miaomiao had been worried about going in the wrong direction and wasting half an hour walking in vain. After all, this primitive mountain road was not as easy to walk on as a flat concrete road and was very tiring.

Feng Ling looked ahead, "Is it only players who can see it? I don't see any light anywhere."

"Well, I didn't see it either." Pei Xianjue also said.

"The safe zone is part of the maze mission, so only players who have accepted the mission can see it." Li Qing said.

Seeing the light, Huangfu Miaomiao's steps became much lighter. As they approached their destination, the eaves and corners of the ancient buildings appeared from the dense pine forest.

A prompt message popped up in front of Huangfu Miaomiao:

[You have found a piece of Feng Shui treasure land in the dangerous mountains and forests. The three gods will protect you from the threat of demons. ]

[Maze exploration degree +13%]

"Found it!" Huangfu Miaomiao was excited and waved to the people behind him, "Come this way!"

From here on, the mountain path began to show signs of artificial carving.

The road under their feet turned into wide and thick stone steps.

Continue up the stone steps and enter a slightly narrow corridor.

There are very small stone pavilions on both sides of the corridor. Due to the dim light, it is difficult to see what is carved in the pavilions.

Right in front of the corridor, there stood a memorial archway built of huge stones. On the memorial archway were three large characters, which were also unclear, but Feng Ling guessed that they should be the three characters "Sanqing Palace".

They passed through the memorial archway and came to an open platform, and the main hall of Sanqing Palace came into view. Although it was still dark and cool here, it exuded a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere that made people relax involuntarily.

Huangfu Miaomiao felt at ease as if she were at home. She stepped over the threshold of the main hall door and walked in in the dark. After a moment, a voice came out: "Here is the lamp oil. It's full. I'll light the lamp."

Feng Ling looked around and slowly walked into the main hall.

Huangfu Miaomiao found a lighter from her bag and with a click, she carefully lit the oil lamp on the altar.

There are six lamps on the altar. When all are lit, the hall becomes very bright and all the furnishings are clearly visible.

There are three clay statues sitting on the altar next to the altar. Although the paint has peeled off due to age, they still have an ancient and mysterious artistic conception.

Apart from this, there was nothing else in the hall, and it was extremely clean.

Feng Ling walked around the altar and found that the building was divided into two parts: the front hall and the back pavilion. The back of the altar led to the back pavilion, which was also a very open space. On the granite slab in the middle, there was a wooden box.

"Hey, there's a box here." Feng Ling greeted everyone.

"Box?" Huangfu Miaomiao ran over and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! It's a treasure box!"

She rushed over with joy.

Pei Xianjue, Liang Zhou, Baozi and others behind also came over after hearing the noise. When they saw Huangfu Miaomiao opening the treasure chest, they felt mixed emotions.

"It really feels like playing a game..." Pei Xianjue sighed softly.

Li Qing remained silent.

Huangfu Miaomiao took out a knife, a dagger, and an axe from the wooden box.

She knew Feng Ling loved to use an axe, so she immediately handed it over and kept a short sword for herself. The remaining knife was too big and wide, and required strength to swing, so she couldn't use it. She looked at Pei Xianjue and the others and asked, "Do you want it?"

Pei Xianjue already had two scimitars on his waist, and he might not be used to using new weapons, so he shook his head slightly.

"Baozi, why don't you take it?" Pei Xianjue said.

Baozi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took the machete from Huangfu Miaomiao, "Thank you."

"You're welcome~" Huangfu Miaomiao closed the empty box and happily put her new weapon into the storage compartment.

In the team, the gap that had always lingered between humans and aliens seemed to dissipate a little at this moment.

Feng Ling noticed the changes in their expressions, then looked away.

She felt it was just a false friendliness, a fragile peace.

But...it doesn't matter.

She took off her backpack, sat down, took out the drone equipment from the bag, and assembled it slowly according to the steps in the instruction manual.

Li Qing kindly reminded: "It's too dark now, why don't we wait until tomorrow morning to act?"

"It's still early to wait until daybreak. I won't sleep now anyway, so I'll let the drone fly around and try." Feng Ling held the drone's remote control and muttered, "Why can't it fly?"

"Let me help you. I'm familiar with this." Pei Xianjue sat closer, picked up the remote control and operated it a few times.

The drone responded and slowly took off.

Feng Ling's phone began to synchronize the images captured by the drone.

Pei Xianjue asked her, "How do you want to go around? Up first and then down, or down first and then up?"

Feng Ling thought for a moment and said, "Let's go first."

Pei Xianjue controlled the drone to leave the main hall and fly into the endless darkness——

pat.

The lights were turned on, and the cone-shaped beams of light shone through the woods and mountains, penetrating the mist and startling a flock of birds.

A huge shadow flashed across the phone screen.
