  "That's it... Okay, then leave the treatment to me." Nonoyu seemed to be relieved, lowered his head and smiled softly, no longer being stubborn with his teammates.

  "We're here." Gegen suddenly stopped, and the woods in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only a plain and an arched underground house. It looked like it was just an ordinary home.

  With a hemispherical entrance and an ordinary wooden door, there is no trace of chakra at all.

  "Captain, has this place been abandoned..." Shanfeng released his perception barrier. Not only on the outside of the stronghold, but also inside the door and deep underground, he could not feel the fluctuations of chakra.

  Not to mention defensive barriers and the like.

  "Let me take a look first." The insects flew out of the sleeves that were taken from the root, followed two routes, bypassed the door, and penetrated through the two gaps on the side. Once inside, follow the direction of the passage and move to both sides.

  But all I saw along the way were bare walls with no decoration at all.

  There was no trace of anger.

  "Huh? It really doesn't look like a human being."

  "Wind, come closer. Xiuhong, protect." Torigen opened his eyes, the perception attached to the bugs was retracted, his head tilted to one side, and gave the order.

  "Yes." The two agreed in unison, but Xiuhong didn't understand the purpose of taking the root. The perception of the wind in the mountain just now should be enough to cover an entire underground building. Such a small distance is of little use for perception.

  But as the person who knew Gegen best, Shanfeng understood it the moment Gegen turned around.

  He flew toward the wooden door, his senses had quietly unfolded, and the puppet was thrown aside.

  "What's going on?"

  A clear picture appeared in his mind, and this should be the lowest level of the building.

  It's not as planned, spooky, or scary as imagined.

  It can only be said that what is revealed here is only a hint of desolation...

  The ruins of the walls, people lying in disorder, and the blood stains that have not retreated are stained on the surrounding walls.

  "Captain...inside..." Shanfeng was speechless for a moment, his face full of shock. Even with his eyes closed, he could still feel it.

  "What's wrong?" What he saw through the insect was not very clear, so he didn't feel the same as the wind in the mountain now.

  "This place...should really be abandoned."

  "What?" Xiuhong became a little angry again, and punched the wooden door next to him, breaking a large part of the wall. All that comes out of it is smoke and dust.

  "Come in!" Gegen flew up from the spot, with the insects floating beside him, and took the lead in breaking into the hole that was blasted out.

  If there is someone inside, they will undoubtedly be alerted by now, so a quick dash is the best way.

  See one, kill one.

  But the prerequisite is that there is someone.

  The spiral staircase leads underground, and the walls are stained with blood mixed with dust. The wall tiles were in dilapidated condition, and there were not a few intact ones visible on the stairs.

  "Go down! Shuhong protect Nonoyu!" Shanfeng and Takegen's cooperation is perfect. The two are also suitable for small-scale combat, so Shuhong and Nonoyu don't need to get in.

  "Okay." Xiuhong sat down and called to Nonoyu: "Nonoyu! Come here, come here, I can't protect you if you stand far away!" "

  Okay."

  ...

  "This place is invaded. Have you passed it... There are scenes after the war everywhere, and there are no survivors? I haven't seen the body yet, so the winner won't destroy the body and eliminate traces..."

  Tiegen looked around, his feet He ran underground without stopping. The spiral staircase remained the same after a long time, and the blood-stained ruins remained unchanged.

  "Take Root, there is something down there." Shanfeng who was following him suddenly sent a message through the air through his mental power. Take Root's legs shook and he steadily stopped his momentum.

  "What is it?"

  "The appearance looks...like a corpse." Not long after, Shanfeng stood beside Torgen, closed his eyes tightly, opened the sensory barrier, and scanned the underground hall.

  Among the ruins that were originally seen, there were several more corpses with strange looks and murderous intent. Stuck between the lying pillars, some even had bloodshot eyes open.

  "A corpse... go down." If there is a corpse, it can at least prove that humans once existed here. Then, maybe those corpses can even help deduce what happened here.

  "Secret Technique·Insect Jade!" A large group of insects gathered together, and a solid black sphere hung in the air. Under the control of Gegen, he fell instantly and hit the stairs at his feet. The insects dispersed naturally after a collision, and a large hole was made in the ground.

  The two people jumped directly and fell vertically into the dark hall. Floating around them, in addition to the rooting insects, there was also sticky Yin-type chakra... along with dust, it fell on the two people.

  This is something I never felt in the mountains.

  "Ah..."

  Shanfeng's perception barrier was not withdrawn, and the mental stimulation he felt became more obvious.

  The biggest characteristic of Yin chakra is that it affects people's negative emotions. People's fear of the dark and curiosity of the unknown. At this moment, the balance is broken... The

  emotions of the two people can't help but be affected, becoming irritable and negative. If the "roots" hadn't had a way to shield their feelings, the two of them might have started fighting each other here.

  "Wind, stop sensing." He leaned against the insect and swallowed the Yin attribute chakra that fell on his body bit by bit, allowing himself to slowly return to normal. He waved his palm on Shan Feng's back and let his thoughts go away. Pulled back abruptly.

  Neither of them had experience facing this kind of polar chakra, so the only thing they could do was avoid it.

  The bugs that had devoured the gray chakra were no longer under the control of the roots, and were biting each other crazily. The venom splashed all over him, and there was a faint lavender poisonous gas coming out.

  "Yeah...yes." Yamafeng endured the swelling pain in his head and suddenly stepped back. The sensory barrier shrank instantly, and the influence of the Yin attribute chakra was also cut off at this second.

  The corpse lying on the ground was like a petri dish of Yin chakra, with streams of gray-black turbidity coming out of it.

  "Leave the Yin-type chakra around you to me. Hurry up and take a look at the deeper scene." Tiegen released a large amount of phosphorus worms stored in his body, took a step forward, and blocked Shanfeng's body. The insect flow took shape under exquisite manipulation, and slowly built a wall, tightly wrapping the two people inside.

  "That's it...yes, captain." Shanfeng once again unfolded the perception barrier. Although it was initially blocked by the rich root chakra around him, what he saw after that was endless darkness...plus dots of stars. Helpless, desperate eyes of the dead.

  "There's nothing left. There's no one here anymore." Shaking his head slightly, Shanfeng put away the barrier, supported Tie Gen's shoulders, shook his head, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

  "Okay, retreat." Tiegen did not remove the released bugs. He maintained the hemispherical wall to shield the increasingly intense Yin-type chakra. He followed Shanfeng and climbed up the broken stairs.

  "Captain, we can't contact the two people on the ground." Shanfeng's perception barrier was forcibly pulled into an oval shape, and he tried his best to transmit spiritual power to the ground, but no matter what, he couldn't feel the presence of Shuhiro and Nonou. Under such circumstances, the worm that took the root was tired of dealing with the Yin-type chakra, and the two of them alone could not open the way back to the ground. After all, several flights of stairs were smashed by them.

  "It's been blocked." Togen didn't think much and made a conclusion.

  "Shielding? Isn't this place abandoned? Why is there still something that blocks mental signals?"

  "Not here. It's Xiu Hong's barrier." Xiu Hong's barrier naturally refers to Xiu Hong's control and defense skill, Earth Escape. ·The prison hall is gone. Not only can it resist high-intensity physical attacks, but it can also block perception. The existence of this barrier cannot be detected from the outside by ordinary means.

  "That's it... Okay, then how do we go up?"

  "Cooperation." The gap between the disconnected stairs is indeed beyond the reach of one person's jumping ability, but two people might have a chance.

  "Cooperation...that's it." The tacit understanding between Shan Feng and Qi Gen was that they could guess each other's thoughts without speaking out, but in desperation, Feng's head seemed to be stuck and went blank. And this "cooperation" specifically refers to a climbing method taught by ANBU. With this technique, Kagen and Feng have always come out on top during team training. "It really depends on you, Gegen, I just can't think of it."

  Gegen turned around and smiled lightly, but said nothing. Stopping at the cliff ahead, he spread his hands in one place and folded them on his knees. Kneel down on one knee, stretch one leg back, and turn the other leg at a 90-degree angle, diagonally facing the upper edge of the stairs.

  "Haha, here we come!" The nervousness when facing the Yin-type chakra disappeared. The bond between the two overshadowed the fear, and the excitement and excitement of facing the task returned instantly. Shanfeng laughed loudly and followed the approach, slowly increasing the intensity of his bounce. "Are you ready?"

  "Come on!" Togen also raised the corners of his mouth like never before, and his excitement could even be reflected in the insects approaching him.

  One last jump! Feng's front foot stepped firmly on Fenggen's back foot, and his feet overlapped, perfectly transmitting kinetic energy.

  The moment he landed on Feng, he added a large amount of chakra to his hind legs. With an explosion from the soles of his feet, he followed Feng's own elasticity and launched his whole body upward one meter.

  Then, Feng’s back foot caught up! Smash the forefoot into the prepared palm. After taking the root, he raised his hands and his body followed the force and stood up. After Feng took off, he grabbed Feng's ankle and threw his body into the air with the inertia.

  The hands and feet of the two people joined together, and after completing a 720-degree rotation in mid-air, one of them was thrown out of the continuously rotating hemisphere.

  Orange hair, that is the mountain wind. He reached the upper level with his legs half squatting. His hands fell down, clinging to chakra, and he grabbed his wrist just as he was about to fall.

  "Tsk, it worked again."
