He had the rare treasure map, but he could not see the contents! Lei Nian was helpless to do anything about this. The owner had used a special sealing technique to seal him in advance, so he had no other choice.

In order to unlock the treasure map, he would have to obtain the blood essence of the person who had entrusted the task to him. Otherwise, if he tried to spy on it by force, he would have activated the sealing seal and burned it to nothingness.

The place where the mission was assigned was in a very remote cave. From the Sect Master Shang Nameless's words, he found out that there were three special points in this relatively small Origin Cave Village.

Firstly, how bad was the environment? These two words were vicious! There was a formation that restricted the air above the mountain that could only be climbed on foot. If a top-level expert were to come, they wouldn't be bound by the formation.

Second, there were many people staying over during the day, so many that there would be people resting in the woodshed. However, in the evening, there would be no one around. Why did Lei Nian ask? Sect Master Shang Nameless only said that the night was very chaotic.

Thirdly, the natives had a bad temper. If they disagreed, they would kick them out of the village. Those who tried to resist would be relentlessly hunted down by the entire village.

Before they parted ways, they even reminded Lei Nian that there were many protective formations around the village that could be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago. Once the village protection array was activated, even ten of him would turn to dust.

Lei Nian noted it down silently, at the same time, he also reminded himself to be calm, and not argue endlessly with the villagers!

Under normal circumstances, a barren mountain would usually cause trouble for its citizens. Moreover, this place was extremely far from the cave village. If one were to ride a Aeolus Flying Shuttle, it would have to be at least midnight.

It was hard to predict the path of evil. If they were to run into a few more troublesome people, they might end up in conflict. They might just have to open up the village protection array and end up with their own lives.

Lei Nian suddenly shook his head, he immediately threw this terrifying thought up to the sky. After thinking about it, he could only use the Middle Grade Spirit Stone s to travel through the teleportation gate and reach the vicinity of the cave village.

But after half an hour, he finally found a suitable portal. After spending three thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stone, they could only reach the relay stations a hundred miles away from the Wu Yuan Village.

Once Lei Nian walked out of the teleportation gate, he bought some consumables from the shop beside the relay station and quickly rode his Aeolus Flying Shuttle towards the cave village.

Even so, when they arrived at the outskirts of the cave village, it was almost dark! Due to the restrictions of the formation, he had to climb up on foot. Raising his head to look at the steep and uneven mountain road, he saw that there were still a few places where rocks were rolling and falling. Listening to the huge rocks crashing on the ground, Lei Nian felt a little scared.

If he were to climb using his bare hands, not only would it slow down, it would also consume a lot of energy. Fortunately, he had raised a mountain climbing beast within his Sword Kingdom. Even the climbing beasts were able to traverse the seventy degrees slope of the skyline like they were walking on flat ground. It was obvious that this place was a bit smoother than the skyline.

Although he was riding a mountain climbing beast, he wasn't relaxed at all. From time to time, he would experience landslides. In that situation, Lei Nu had to carry a thousand jin mountain climbing beast to avoid it.

Watching the sun approach the western mountains, Lei Nian wished he could grow wings and fly over there. He went directly into the belly of the mountain and found that the mountain looked quite similar to the eight-word gourd.

The entrance was extremely dangerous, but the space inside grew larger and larger! From the looks of it, Sect Master Shang Nameless was not lying. There was indeed an ancient village protection array here. Moreover, the movement of his spiritual sense was greatly restricted, so he had no choice but to focus all of his attention.

Finally, just two hours before nightfall, he saw a stone tablet with the words "Wu Yuan Village" written on it. It was forbidden to bring pets in the village, so he could only summon the Mountain Climbing Beast back to Sword Kingdom.

Lei Nian had to arrive at a household at the deepest part of the village within the hour. The delegate is dead, and his task is to pass on his will.

The moment he stepped into the village, he saw a huge black mass. All of them were people who were running out of the village, and one of them was running faster than the other. They seemed to be avoiding some terrifying existence.

Lei Nian quickly blocked one of them and without saying a word, he gave him a bag of Middle Grade Spirit Stone. However, there wasn't a hint of joy on his face. Instead, he was frowning.

He told Lei Nian that this place was very chaotic at night. Hearing this again, Lei Nian's heart became heavy, his expression also becoming more solemn.

There were still many things for him to do, so he didn't dare to stay any longer. Shock appeared on the faces of the black mass of heads as they wished they could turn into Windseeker Rats and flee from the village. Yet the person in front of him was dashing towards the depths of the village as if his life depended on it?

[What the heck is going on? There must be something wrong with his mind, or he must have been possessed … In short, no one said he was a normal person. Even though they were pointing at Lei Nian, they did not slow down their escape.

Lei Nian did not have time to care about their opinions, he just kept charging forward. The sunlight shined past the top of Lei Nian's head, shining further and further away. This was the signal for the sun to set. Within an hour, the village would be shrouded in darkness.

Even if he ran at top speed, it would take him at least fifteen minutes to reach the deepest part of the village. In addition to the time required to complete the task, it was already dark. He was also very speechless about this. He could only hope that he wouldn't run into any trouble during the night. That would be great news!

Indeed, after a quarter of an hour, he had arrived at the deepest part of the cave village. It was empty and deserted. "If that's the case, there is no need to worry about going through the wrong door and going straight to the outside of that courtyard.

The three meter tall green stone door was erected in the middle of the green brick wall, stepping onto the green oil road, it illuminated Lei Nian's entire body with a green light.

Lei Nian's eyes were sharp, the green oil bricks under his feet were not ordinary, they were soaked in the green wood pond and had been sucking in the oil from the pond for many years, forming together.

The green oil bricks were not afraid of wind, thunder, water and fire, and were even very resistant to mystical Qi. A single cyan oil brick in the outside world would be worth at least two thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stone. And everything in Lei Nian's line of sight were all treasures of the Green Oil Brick series.

Presumably, the people in the courtyard were either rich or noble! Talking to someone with status was extremely awkward, but this Lei Nian had experienced it firsthand.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, the stone door opened by itself.

Since the outside was so luxurious, he would not be surprised if something of high grade were to appear inside. The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he was struck by lightning!

The difference was like heaven and earth! The absolute difference between the heaven and the earth...

The bumpy road, with every step he took, required him to clean up the barricade. The stinky musty smell also made Lei Nian sick to his stomach.

Just then, a woman walked over slowly. Seeing her face, Lei Nian almost suffocated himself to death. Was she even a woman? It was too terrifying!
