Every finger twitched and scratched like a living creature, emitting a teeth-grating "crackling" sound.
And in the central area, there was a towering bronze tower, the tower's body covered with bulging vein-like patterns, pulsating rhythmically as if it were alive.
A giant eyeball was embedded at the top of the tower, with scarlet pupils that constantly rotated, seemingly searching for sothing.
Even Zhou Qing, who had seen much, couldn't help but feel chills.
This was probably the most nauseating place he had seen since experiencing Shen Huangmao's Realm.
Sikong Yan, however, spread out his arms and took a deep breath: "Every ti I co to this place, it's like coming ho, it gives an inexplicable sense of safety!"
Zhou Qing frowned—could this guy's madness be a result of the dark influence of this eerie place?
"I nad it 'Rotting Flesh Sky,' what do you think?" Sikong Yan turned his head and asked.
"Not much," Zhou Qing replied coldly.
"I don't think much of it either," Sikong Yan shrugged, "but when you need words, you find you lack them. Since we're here, why don't you na it for ?"
Zhou Qing gave him a glance: "Do you always like to dilly-dally before getting things done?"
Sikong Yan laughed: "I know I like to say pointless things, but it's beco a habit; it helps relieve stress and increases my sense of security."
"Where did you lose your sense of security?" Zhou Qing sneered.
A master of a sect, a figure who kills without blinking, claiming he lacks a sense of security?
Sikong Yan's smile faded slightly: "I lost it while I was alive."
Zhou Qing: "..."
But soon, Sikong Yan resud his cynical deanor and pointed to the central bronze tower.
"I feel there's definitely sothing good inside, but after simulating it many tis, I can't even get close."
Zhou Qing followed his gaze, and the tower gave him a strange feeling, reminding him of the black heart on the withered tree in his forbidden zone.
"It's right here!" Sikong Yan suddenly ran excitedly to a wall of flesh, pointing at a scar-like crack on it.
"This is where I dug out a Jade Scroll that recorded a forbidden technique—Life Supplent Technique."
Zhou Qing's brow furrowed slightly: "Life Supplent Technique?"
"That's right," Sikong Yan's eyes glittered fanatically, "it supplents not just the current life, but also future lives!"
"What do you an?" Zhou Qing didn't quite understand.
"This technique not only allows resurrection but can also reconstruct one's foundation, even if it's a body that can't naturally cultivate, it can be transford into a cultivation prodigy!"
Sikong Yan excitedly said, then added cursing, "Too bad it's a swindle..."
Zhou Qing was speechless.
He looked around and found this forbidden zone, despite being disgusting, surprisingly calm.
Unlike his own forbidden zone or Number Six's, where dangers lurked everywhere.
Sikong Yan then ran cheerfully to another fissure, saying: "This is where I dug out the Demon-Sealing and Killing Array, it made so happy back then."
Zhou Qing looked at the nearly closed gap, feeling secretly alard.
In the Battle of Canglan Mountain, Sikong Yan used the Demon-Sealing and Killing Array to trap so many Demon Beasts.
They agreed this Array wouldn't harm the Human Race, yet he hid a Four-Color Killing Array inside.
Wait—
Quickly, Zhou Qing realized, could it be that he obtained the Nine Nether Demon Lotus from here?
"Number One, have you ever seen a fisherman open a pearl from a clam?" Sikong Yan, after reminiscing, suddenly asked.
Zhou Qing looked at the writhing walls of flesh around him, deep in thought.
"See those bulges?" Sikong Yan pointed to the raised lumps on the flesh walls, "These are the 'clam shells' of the forbidden zone's outskirts, it's all about luck to open treasures."
He patted a dried-up bulge: "With good luck, you can get rare treasures, with bad luck..."
He made a horrified motion, "Compared to you three, I got the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace Token the latest. There were more than ten tis when I almost lost my life here."
Zhou Qing carefully observed the area and noticed the flesh walls were full of healing scars and new bulges, so of which were still slightly wriggling.
Sikong Yan indeed seed to have gained a lot of good things from here—no wonder he wasn't heartbroken exploding those Four-Color Arrays.
"It's a pity new bulges haven't grown yet, and the old aren't replaced, so there's nothing good here for now."
Sikong Yan said with so regret.
"Where did you get your Token?" Zhou Qing suddenly asked, thinking of sothing.
Sikong Yan cracked a grin: "From a little girl."
Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed: "The one you ntioned before we ca in?"
Sikong Yan nodded and said: "That's right, it took years to research activation thods, how about yours?"
ntioning this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but recall the Nascent Soul Realm level Blood Tai Sui, and the mysterious space and dead skeletons under the Ghost City.
"Picked up at a street stall!" Zhou Qing said with a straight face.
Sikong Yan laughed heartily, clearly not believing, but didn't press further.
He pointed toward the depths of the forbidden zone: "The Rebirth Lotus is further in, but there's a..."
Before he finished his sentence, Sikong Yan's expression suddenly changed, then showed joy: "It actually awakened at this ti..."
He turned to Zhou Qing with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, sothing urgent ca up. How about we reschedule?"
"Or you give an address, and to show my apology, how about I treat you to a al then."
Zhou Qing gave a dry chuckle.
Not getting any useful information, and now eager to send him away?
He imdiately exited the forbidden zone without a word, turning back into a red light sphere.
I don't fall for the hard-to-get tactic!
"Number One, I really have an urgent matter, you know I never lie!"
Sikong Yan's purple sphere flickered a few tis before quickly exiting.
