The 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 group of snakes crawling on the wall.

The Sophora japonica tree spirit did not expect that this outsider 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, then go to hell."

The floor of the grotto cracked open, the fragments bulged, and thick tree roots broke out of the ground, like twisted tentacles, rolling 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 avoided the entanglement of the tree roots with a sliding shovel, narrowed the distance between himself and the locust tree, and then jumped up, jumping several meters high. Once again dodged the sweep.

More and more tree roots broke through the surface and danced wildly in the grotto.

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

If the Red Dance Shoes are not subdued and only the Demonic Pestle is subdued, the death rate for novices facing this level will be extremely high.

Thumb thump thump... The red dancing shoes sprinted on the wall, avoiding the entanglement and beating of the tree roots. With a bounce of his knees, he pushed Zhang Yuanqing through the pursuit of the tree roots like an arrow, and crashed into the trunk of the tree.

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

boom!

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

Zhang Yuanqing struck hard with the Demon-Conquering Pestle.

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 trunk of the tree.

Duh!

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

The golden light distorted the tree trunk and the human face, causing it to scream miserably 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 withered, its bark 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. 】

[Items/props obtained: Demonic pestle. 】

[Reward experience value: 100%]

【You have become a night wandering god. 】

[Reward experience value: 20%]

[Character card reward activation, reward props: red dance shoes. 】

[Escape from 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 in an almost arrogant and unreasonable manner.

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, followed by the comfort of running in a hot spring.

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.

Am I out of body?

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:

[Name: Yuanshi Tianzun]

[Race: Human]

[Occupation: Night God]

【Grade 1】

[Skills: Night Tour, Soul Devouring, Lunar Spirit]

[Experience value: 20%]

[Moral value: 60 (initial value)]

[Spirit Devouring (Active): Devouring souls to enhance one's own spirituality. 】

[Taiyin Spirit (Passive): The Night Walker God has a strong body, strong vitality and powerful self-healing power. In the night, the Night Walker God's various abilities will be greatly increased. 】

He has officially become the Night God, and has 20% more experience points. Coupled with the prop rewards, the rewards of this spiritual trial are huge.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the inventory. The red dancing shoes were lying quietly in the first grid, and 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 mission is over, which means the exploration degree 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, intending 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 around 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.

"Zaza..."

He slowly pushed open the coffin lid and looked intently into 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, closed eyes, and thick and staggered eyelashes.

Stunning beauty.

This...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 like 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 inexplicable panic and doubted his own judgment, and wrong judgment was bound to be accompanied by a huge crisis.

"No, no, my mission has indeed been completed, which shows that 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 saw the dark luster clearly.

It is a dark and pure bead.

[Name: Spirit Crystal]

[Type: Consumables]

[Function: None]

[Introduction: The soul crystal purified by the power of the Sun God contains huge spiritual power and is the tonic most desired by the Night God. 】

[Remarks: Sandaoshan Empress has purified the distracting thoughts in the crystal, please feel free to consume it. 】

Zhang Yuanqing stretched out two fingers and took out the bead.

The beads quickly melted away, turning into a thick stream of energy that entered the center of the eyebrows.

[Ding, you gain 22% experience points. 】

Zhang Yuanqing's strength surged, and he once again had the illusion of blowing up the planet with one punch.

He felt that he was obviously stronger, and he could clearly detect the improvement in skills without looking at the attribute panel.

The delay time of night travel has been increased by three seconds, from six seconds to nine seconds.

You have become stronger unexpectedly, my dear, please rest in peace... Zhang Yuanqing silently closed the sarcophagus back, as if he had never opened it.

Next, while waiting for the countdown, Zhang Yuanqing was a little restless and extremely anxious, fearing that something bad would happen, such as touching a hidden task and interrupting the return.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Zhang Yuanqing looked at the timer on the fluorescent blue panel and started counting down:

5, 4, 3...

Suddenly, a long breathing sound sounded in the dark and silent cave.

Zhang Yuanqing: "..."

The coffin lid was pushed open from the inside, and a pale and delicate hand came out and grabbed the edge of the coffin. Immediately, the beauty in the sarcophagus sat up.

The female corpse's eyes as deep as a pool swept across the grotto and looked at Zhang Yuanqing with a stiff expression.

She stared at Zhang Yuanqing for a few seconds, then raised the corner of her mouth.

This smile almost scared Zhang Yuanqing to death on the spot.

At this time, the scenery was torn apart by the wind like a reflection on the water, and the countdown ended.

There was a blur between heaven and earth.

After a while, the picture gradually stabilized, with bright white incandescent lights shining down from above, white walls, desk, computer, TV, double bed...

The curtains swayed in the wind, and the crisp chirping of birds could be heard outside the window.

He is back in the world.

.....
