"Do you have any idea?" Fang Chen asked hurriedly.
The architectural style here was completely different from the outside world, and he did not recognize the words on the golden plaque at all.
Qing Hou frowned slightly and his expression kept changing. Then he said, "These seem to be words from ancient times."
"What words from ancient times?"
Fang Chen was shocked when he heard this.
How could there be words from ancient times here? Was this a site left behind from ancient times?
"Brother Qing, do you recognize these words?" Fang Chen continued to ask, wanting to see the meaning of the words on the golden plaque.
But unfortunately, Qing Hou shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
"I also happened to see these words at my master's place. Master said that these are ancient words, but I can't understand what they are," Qing Hou said.
"Why are there words from ancient times here?"
The two of them were full of doubts.
Was this place really an ancient relic as the Demon Cloud State Lord said?
Then why did he trick them into entering the cave and then kill them?
The two of them were very puzzled.
"This place is very strange. Maybe it really is an ancient site. Let's look for it," Qing Hou suggested.
Immediately, Fang Chen and Qing Hou continued to move forward.
Along the way, the two of them found many ancient sites, which were all dilapidated buildings. At first glance, they knew that they had been here for a long time.
They did not see a single person, which made the two of them very puzzled.
If there was no one here, why would the Demon Cloud State Lord seal this place?
There must be something strange.
Sure enough, after walking for about three days, they finally met a person.
It was a young man dressed in animal skin. After seeing Fang Chen and Qing Hou, he turned around and left.
"Catch him," Fang Chen said.
Immediately, Qing Hou exerted the True Meaning of Time and Space. His figure kept flickering and he also used his fastest speed.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, directly surrounded the young man in animal skin.
Crash!
Fang Chen stretched out his big hand and directly grabbed the young man in animal skin.
"Let go of me."
The young man in animal skin struggled desperately and shouted loudly.
Hearing the young man in animal skin, Fang Chen and Qing Hou were dumbfounded.
This was because they actually couldn't understand what the young man was saying.
"What are you talking about?" Fang Chen grabbed the boy's collar and asked.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the young man's eyes widened. He looked at the two of them in disbelief.
Then, the young man in animal skin actually made another sound.
This time, both Fang Chen and Qing Hou could understand.
The young man in beast skin actually knew the common language of the outer realms.
"You're from the outside world," the young man said quickly.
"Who are you?" Fang Chen asked.
This young man clad in animal skin was full of doubts.
The young man stopped struggling and said in a deep voice, "You outsiders actually dare to enter this place."
After some questioning, Fang Chen finally understood where the two of them had entered.
This was an ancient site, where ancient martial art practitioners who had survived since ancient times lived.
Although countless years had passed, they were still the descendants of ancient almighties.
Before the Almighties died, they used extremely powerful methods to seal this place so that they would not be affected by the rules of the world and could live forever.
They had been living here peacefully.
Because it was isolated from the outside world, the Spiritual Qi here was very thin and the rules were somewhat missing.
Therefore, their highest cultivation was the Heaven-dipper Realm, and they could not cultivate to a higher realm at all.
However, one day, an outsider accidentally discovered this place.
He wanted to occupy this place and enslave them.
Hearing this, Fang Chen and Qing Hou looked at each other.
It seemed that the one who wanted to enslave them should be the Demon Cloud State Lord.
"How did you resist in the end?" Fang Chen asked.
Hearing this, the young man in animal skin showed a proud expression.
"Although our clan was weak at that time, we were famous in the world." The young man in animal skin said, "Our clan defeated the invader with the help of puppets."
"However, because of this, we reached an agreement with the invader and gave him the method of making puppets. He also swore that he would not invade our clan for 10,000 years."
Fang Chen and Qing Hou came to a realization upon hearing this.
So that was it.
The reason why the Demon Cloud State Lord deceived them to come here and said that they were perfect specimens should be to turn them into puppets.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen said directly, "Little brother, we have no evil intentions. The reason why we came here is because of the evil man who invaded your clan."
Hearing this, the young man in animal skin was skeptical.
"That evil man wanted to refine us into puppets. In the end, we successfully escaped and accidentally found this place, so we came here in a panic." Qing Hou said.
At this time, the young man in animal skin believed the two's words.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the Patriarch."
This space was extremely narrow.
At the very center, there was a rather decent building. This was the place where this clan lived.
When Fang Chen and Qing Hou arrived here, they found that there were only 50 people in this clan.
Moreover, most of the martial artists' cultivation was at the Mysterious King Realm, and only a small number of them were at the Heaven-dipper Realm.
"Patriarch, I found two outsiders today." The young man in animal skin said.
"Outsiders." Hearing this, the Patriarch's face was solemn as he stared at Fang Chen and Qing Hou.
"Patriarch, don't misunderstand, we are not that evil man's henchmen."
"On the contrary, we have a common enemy."
"Patriarch, these two people were forced by that evil man and came here in a panic. They caught me before and didn't hurt me." The young man in animal skin spoke to Qing Hou for Fang Chen.
"Take them to the mineral vein to mine." The Patriarch pondered for a moment and said.
Hearing this, several Heaven-dipper Realm clansmen directly escorted Fang Chen and Qing Hou to the mineral vein in the back mountain.
"Outsider, if you want to live, you'd better mine obediently."
In the end, this clan still didn't believe Fang Chen and Qing Hou.
It was just that they saw that they were weak, so they didn't attack them, but let them mine.
Fang Chen and Qing Hou didn't think too much. As long as they could survive, nothing was more important.
After the two entered the mineral vein, their eyes widened.
This was actually a Purple Crystal Mineral Vein.
"This mineral vein is so big, the number of Purple Crystals mined is uncountable." Qing Hou was shocked.
"They are isolated from the world, why do they need so many Purple Crystals?" Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
In the end, the two entered the depths of the mineral vein and started mining.
At this moment, the two saw many figures.
"Are they also outsiders?" Qing Hou asked curiously.
These figures came to Fang Chen and Qing Hou's side in no time. Then, they started mining quickly.
"Everyone."
Fang Chen tried to talk to these people, but they ignored Fang Chen.
"What's going on?" Qing Hou asked.
At this moment, Fang Chen noticed some details.
These people had been mining rhythmically and didn't speak at all.
After taking a closer look, Fang Chen finally felt that something was wrong.
He enveloped these people with his soul spirit and shockingly found that they didn't have any soul spirit.
Could it be that these people were puppets created by this clan?
"Brother Qing, they seem to be puppets." Fang Chen said.
"What puppets?"
Qing Hou was really frightened. Puppets were made to look like human warriors. This method was too brilliant.
Finally, after a day of mining, the two of them confirmed that it was a puppet that was mining with them.
The next day, Fang Chen and Qing Hou avoided these puppets and went to the depths of the mineral vein to mine in an inconspicuous place.
"Brother Xue, there are so many Purple Crystals. If we hide some of them, they probably won't know," Qing Hou said.
Fang Chen's eyes were burning as he nodded heavily.
Purple Crystals were hard currency in the outside world. It was very important to them.
As for the Little Mouse, when it first entered the mineral vein, it had already drilled into the Purple Crystal and absorbed the power of the Purple Crystal to recover.
Just like that, Fang Chen and Qing Hou began their mining life.
Meanwhile, in the base camp of this clan, everyone was discussing important matters.
"Patriarch, I think we should refine these two people into puppets," a burly man said.
"Patriarch, these two people are so weak and have no intention of harming our clan. Moreover, we have a common enemy," the young man in animal skin said.
The other clansmen also expressed their opinions.
Ever since the appearance of the Demon Cloud State Lord last time, their peaceful lives had been disrupted.
They could no longer continue to live carefree lives.
And this time, these two outsiders had entered.
This made the patriarch very uneasy.
Fortunately, these two outsiders were very weak. They were only in the Mystic King Realm.
"Patriarch, that evil man has already made a martial oath that he will not invade for 10,000 years.
Let's just kill these two people. "
"Patriarch, there are fewer and fewer people in our Sky Puppet Clan. We can try to absorb them into our Sky Puppet Clan."
Hearing this, the patriarch's eyes lit up.
"If they are talented enough, it's not impossible to absorb them into the Sky Puppet Clan."
The patriarch's wish had always been to lead the Sky Puppet Clan to rise again.
However, it was extremely difficult to achieve such a grand goal.
Once, the Sky Puppet Clan was a well-known clan in the world.
Now, they had fallen to such a state.
After making a decision, the patriarch summoned Fang Chen and Qing Hou back.
"Now, there are two choices for you to decide," the patriarch said in a deep voice as he looked at Fang Chen and Qing Hou.
"What choice?" Fang Chen and Qing Hou looked at each other and then looked at the patriarch warily.
"Join the Sky Puppet Clan or die," the patriarch said.
"What?"
Fang Chen and Qing Hou's eyes widened in disbelief.
The patriarch was actually asking them to join the Sky Puppet Clan.
"As time passes, our Sky Puppet Clan has fewer and fewer people and geniuses. If we want to strengthen the Sky Puppet Clan, we have to do it by hook or by crook."
The patriarch said, "Of course, it's not that easy to join the Sky Puppet Clan. You have to pass a test."
If they didn't join the Sky Puppet Clan, they would die. If they joined the Sky Puppet Clan, they could live.
