Even though this valley was at least a Daolord area, from the looks of it, there was no terrifying danger in this valley. Of course, it might also be related to Xiao Shi’s powerful luck.
After knowing the many taboos in this valley, he could avoid these taboos very well. As a result, he did not encounter any danger along the way. Of course, he could only watch the Daolord divine weapon in the distance. He did not dare to approach it, let alone obtain it.
When Xiao Shi arrived at the intermediate section of this area, an incomparably huge attraction came from the surrounding weapons and treasures. To be precise, this was a kind of desire that could arouse one’s heart.
Xiao Shi could not help but have the urge to pick up these treasures. Just like a greedy person who was in a pile of money, his entire desire was triggered!
Xiao Shi’s gaze focused on a black hat not far away. He realized that his desire was triggered by this black hat. This black hat was a Martial Demon-level item. Just by approaching it, it had the ability to detonate one’s desires.
Fortunately, Xiao Shi had seen many treasures. His resistance to treasures was much higher than ordinary people. He could suppress the desire in his heart. Therefore, he did not pick up the treasures on the ground.
He quickly left this area. He did not stay any longer. After walking out of this area, a fork appeared in front of him again.
When Xiao Shi chose the leftmost path, he was already approaching the second half of the valley. The night was bleak. The moon was half-hidden in the clouds, only revealing a blurry outline.
Xiao Shi entered a desolate place in the valley. This desolate place exuded an ancient and desolate aura. It was like an ancient battlefield. It was very similar to the venue filled with weapons and treasures.
The difference was that the previous venue was like a broken weapon and treasure that had been destroyed in a war. The entire ground of this venue was extremely broken, and almost no place was intact. There were many traces left behind by the battle.
Xiao Shi even saw the flames burning on the ground not far away. These flames seemed to have been burning for many years. It had an inextinguishable characteristic. There were still many dried bloodstains on the charred ground.
The most terrifying thing was that shrill roars could be heard from time to time. These roars seemed to be left behind by the souls that had died here.
Xiao Shi carefully walked here. He was on guard against any danger that might appear at any time. Not long after, a skeleton suddenly appeared in front of him. The skeleton was filled with an ancient aura. It seemed to have been dead for many years. It was scattered on the ground in front of him.
This reminded Xiao Shi of one of the taboos in this valley.
[If you see a corpse or wreckage in the valley, please bury it.]
“In other words, 1 need to bury this skeleton now.” Xiao Shi did not know if there would be a reward after burying the skeleton. But he was certain that if he ignored this, he would definitely violate the taboo of this place. “But if I extract these bones, will 1 violate another taboo?”
Xiao Shi fell into deep thought. After all, items could not be picked up in the valley. He could not be sure if the bones here were considered items. “If the bones here are also considered items, then these two taboos are undoubtedly contradictory. It shouldn’t be like this.”
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi still chose to pick up the bones on the ground. As expected, nothing bad happened after he picked up the skeletons. Next, he needed to bring the skeleton back to the previous cemetery and bury this skeleton there.
After all, there was no way to bury them here with the environment of this battlefield.
Xiao Shi returned to the previous cemetery. He dug a hole in a deserted place in the cemetery and buried the skeleton. After the skeleton was buried, a tombstone automatically formed on the ground. A remnant soul floated out of the tombstone.
The remnant soul bowed deeply to Xiao Shi and said gratefully, “Thank you for burying me. To thank you, I can open a path for you. May 1 ask if you need a path to leave or a path to the deepest part of the valley?”
Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. As expected, there would be a reward after burying the skeleton! He could choose between the two paths now.
One was the way out of here.
One was a path that led to the deepest part of the valley.
In other words, he could choose to continue forward or leave this place.
Xiao Shi thought for a moment. If he left directly, his gains here were very limited, although his own safety would be guaranteed. Most importantly, he did not achieve the goal of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
At that time, Xiang Zizhen would probably come in again.
“Since I’m already here, it’s really unreasonable to retreat like this.” Xiao Shi felt that he still had an advantage here. After all, his luck was very high now. He also knew many taboos in this place..
