"What is hidden inside this tree?
Does it have anything to do with this man?
He just sat there and died. It looked like he wanted people to discover the existence of this tree door. He didn't want to hurt people, did he? "Han Sen looked at the tree door, and his mind was racing.
Because of the picture, Han Sen was very curious about the middle-aged man. After a moment of thought, he tried to push the door open.
It did not budge, and there was no reaction.
Han Sen frowned. He grabbed the handle of the tree and pulled it open. The door opened with ease.
"Why is there a door in the tree? Is there treasure inside?" Chu Ming asked excitedly.
Qu Lanxi was also surprised, and when she looked inside, she was even more shocked.
She had thought it was just a hole in the tree, and that it might have been a storage room. But when she looked inside, she was shocked.
Inside the tree door, there was a big hole in the tree, and it extended into a huge underground space. In the space under the tree, there was a majestic underground palace complex.
In comparison, Qing Ming Shelter was worse than a slum. It was like an underground kingdom from the legends.
"Shelter! There's a giant shelter beneath the tree!" Chu Ming couldn't help but scream. It was too shocking.
Han Sen was shocked, too. The size of the shelter under the tree hole was beyond his wildest imagination. Not even Moment Shelter could compare to it.
Looking down from the tree hole, Han Sen could see many broken parts of the shelter. He could even see the skeletons of many creatures.
There was dust everywhere, and it was hard to tell how long it had been there. There was no sign of life.
"There won't be any spirits or creatures inside, will there?"
Qu Lanxi spoke with concern. If there were spirits and creatures in such a large shelter, they would be incredibly powerful. She didn't think they'd be able to take on such a formidable foe.
"I don't think so."
Han Sen was excited. Even if some teleporters were destroyed, it was impossible for all of them to be destroyed. They could use the teleporters in the shelter to return to the Alliance, and they wouldn't have to worry about being trapped there.
"You guys wait here. I will go in and take a look. If there is no danger, I will call you."
He used his Dongxuan Aura to the max, and he wanted to see if there were any lifeforces in there.
They landed outside the gate of the shelter. Although it was a dilapidated shelter, it was still quite a sight to behold. The gate of the shelter was one hundred meters tall. Standing in front of it, humans felt as small as ants.
Looking up into the sky, Han Sen could see a spiderweb of tree roots. They covered the entire shelter, and they were intertwined with the rocks. They glowed brightly, and it was as bright as day.
Han Sen flew up and landed on top of the wall. He was shocked by what he saw. When he was on top of the wall, he could only see the outline of the shelter. Now, he could see the skeletons of creatures scattered all over the place.
The skeletons were one hundred meters long, and many of them had their heads separated from their bodies. It looked as if they had been decapitated.
Even though only the bones were left, they still exuded a frightening aura. It was a testament to how strong they had been when they were alive.
"Who killed so many powerful creatures?
Was it the man outside the tree hole? "Han Sen was shocked as he ventured deeper into the shelter.
The whole shelter was littered with corpses. Their bones were all that was left of them. Han Sen could also see giant sword marks on the ground and buildings. It looked as if they had been slashed by a giant sword.
If this was the work of the man outside the tree hole, Han Sen could not imagine how strong he must have been to achieve such a feat.
Han Sen carefully circled the shelter, but he could not detect the presence of any creatures. It was a dead zone, and aside from corpses, there was nothing else.
Han Sen walked into a giant spirit hall. There, he saw a statue that looked like a god. Its forehead was empty, though. The spirit stone was gone.
Han Sen checked the teleporter, and it was in perfect condition. He was overjoyed, and so he brought Qu Lanxi and Chu Ming inside.
When Little Wind entered, he saw the skeletons and began to tremble. It seemed as if he was afraid of the bones.
Qu Lanxi and Chu Ming were in the same state as Han Sen, and they were too shocked to speak.
"This is too scary. Who killed so many creatures and destroyed the shelter? It can't be the man outside the tree, can it?" Chu Ming asked, with a face full of shock.
No one could answer him. Qu Lanxi looked at Han Sen and asked, "Can the teleporter still be used?"
Chu Ming looked at Han Sen, as well. He did not want to hear Han Sen say it could not be used.
They had not returned to the Alliance for a long time, and their families and friends believed they had died in the shelter. They could not wait to see their families and friends again.
"It can be used," Han Sen said with certainty.
Qu Lanxi and Chu Ming were so excited that they could not speak. Their eyes were wet, and Chu Ming was jumping up and down in excitement.
Han Sen thought he might not be able to return to the Alliance after his escape. He did not expect to be able to return so soon.
Han Sen was very happy, too. The three of them quickly went to the Spirit Hall and used the teleporter to return to the Alliance.
Han Sen opened his eyes and saw that he was home. He was overjoyed. Han Sen had purchased a teleporter for his own use, so when he returned home, he was able to do so right away.
After seeing his mother, Han Sen called Ji Yanran. Ji Yanran was silent for a while, and when she spoke again, Han Sen could hear she was crying.
Ji Yanran knew Han Sen was strong, but ascending to the Third God's Sanctuary was too dangerous. Whether or not he could survive depended on luck.
After talking to Ji Yanran for a long time, Han Sen called his friends and told them he had become a surpasser.
After staying at home for a few days, he returned to the sanctuary.
Chu Ming and Qu Lanxi were not back yet. They had been separated from their families for a long time, so Han Sen did not think they would return so soon.
Inside the Spirit Hall, Han Sen tried to enter super spirit mode. He wanted to see how long he could stay in super spirit mode while he was at his peak.
But when he entered super spirit mode, he felt a strange power surge out of him. It went to where the spirit stone was supposed to be on the forehead of the statue.
