Chapter 15: Ancient Ruins
Three days later, in the early morning, the two thousand ancient monks left the Ice King City and galloped away in a northeast direction.
Lu Xiao watched the group rush over with excitement.
Yesterday, he found a large number of aura fluctuations in the northeast direction, and found a large amount of metal emitting aura in the ground!
Those metals were about two or three thousand catties, enough to arm all the people under his command now.
It took a day, and the two thousand ancient monks came to the location that Lu Xiao perceived, and without a moment's pause, they directly used their mana to melt the ice on the ground with flames.
Suddenly, the place where the ancient monk was located was illuminated by the firelight, like daylight, attracting several nearby beasts to watch, but the ancient monk who saw this place did not dare to step forward, wandering around and far away.
The two thousand monks spent one night, and the spiritual power of the whole body was exhausted, melting into a large pit that was a hundred feet square, and at the bottom of the pit, a layer of black metal material emitted a faint cold light.
Lu Xiao was not in a hurry to control the ancient monks to enter and collect these metals, but let them rest in place and resume their cultivation.
Just as the ice above melted, Lu Xiao felt an inexplicable fluctuation emanating from the bottom of the metal, giving him a hint of danger.
I don't know where the source of this feeling is, but to be on the safe side, Lu Xiao plans to restore these ancient monks to their peak state, and then collect these metals, so that if something happens, it will be easy to deal with.
At noon, the two thousand ancient monks recovered, the spiritual energy in their bodies was full, and under Lu Xiao's order, they went down to the bottom of the deep pit.
The two thousand ancient monks scattered, quickly collecting the black metal at the bottom, only to see their hands touch a piece of metal, and the metal disappeared directly.
This is also a point that Lu Xiao only discovered in the past two days, these ancient monks have their own space in their bodies, and they can directly store inanimate items in them.
The efficiency of the ancient monk was very fast, and in a matter of moments, the top layer of metal was charged.
At this time, the feeling of danger was even stronger, Lu Xiao's heart suddenly burst, hesitated for a moment, and ordered the ancient monk to continue to collect.
I don't know when I can encounter such an opportunity again, it is not easy to encounter such a large amount of materials on this barren ice field, and he doesn't want to waste it like this.
After receiving Lu Xiao's order, the ancient monk began to collect again, and in a short period of time, the second layer of metal was also collected.
When the third layer of metal was fully revealed, a trace of blue light permeated the metal, and the feeling of danger in Lu Xiao's heart was even stronger.
This time, Lu Xiao ignored the feeling in his heart, and arranged for half of the ancient monks to return to the ground, transferring all the black metal on the thousand ancient monks in the pit to the thousand people on the ground.
"Since you have done it, just don't do it and keep going, it's a big deal to run!" Lu Xiao was ruthless in his heart, there was really an accident, it was a big deal to lose a thousand ancient monks, with his own presence, it was not a big problem for the other thousand people to return to him safely.
The thousand people in the pit, after receiving Lu Xiao's order, continued to collect the black metal at the bottom of the pit, and this time they did not put the metal into the internal space, but handed it all over to the thousand people on the ground.
With the continuous collection, the blue light on the metal became more and more obvious, and the feeling that lingered in Lu Xiao's heart never dissipated, but it was not more obvious, it has always been a state of nothingness.
As the black metal continued to decrease, the thousand ancient monks below had penetrated nearly ten zhang deep, and the blue light from the cracks in the metal was already very strong, reflecting the ancient monks' bodies in blue, obviously approaching the source of the blue light.
Lu Xiao urged everyone to speed up, and left quickly after collecting the metal.
The thousand people at the bottom of the pit used their whole body cultivation to control pieces of black metal to be transmitted to the ancient monks on the ground with spells, and the people on the ground quickly collected it into the space in their bodies.
I dug down two more layers, and when I touched the last layer, I clearly felt that the black metal in this layer was a little loose, and the bottom seemed to be hollow.
Lu Xiao sensed it, but found that there was nothing under the metal, which could block the prying eyes of his divine sense, and he could only perceive chaos.
The suppressed feeling in his heart became more and more obvious, and Lu Xiao urged the thousand ancient monks at the bottom of the pit to collect the lowest layer of metal as quickly as possible, and once they finished collecting, they would leave immediately.
As the metal continued to decrease, the ancient monks among them also jumped to the ground, and only three ancient monks were left inside.
Lu Xiao clearly saw that under the metal, it was shrouded in a thick mist, and I don't know what it was under the mist, emitting a strong Lang Se light, and the mist turned blue, which looked extremely strange.
The remaining three ancient monks grabbed the six remaining pieces of black metal and were about to jump back to the ground.
However, at this moment, a huge blue sword light flashed out of the mist, and a sword slashed an ancient monk in the middle in half.
The corpse of the monk fell swiftly and disappeared into the mist.
After killing an ancient monk, the sword did not stop for the slightest, and turned to slash towards another ancient monk.
While Lu Xiao controlled the ancient monk to resist, he probed the sword and found that it was completely condensed with spiritual energy, and there was no entity in it.
"How could there be such a powerful treasure as aura here?" Lu Xiao wondered in his heart.
However, at this moment, he was not allowed to think too much, the strange sword was already approaching the second ancient monk, and it was about to be slashed at his chest.
An ancient monk next to him was under Lu Xiao's control, and the gray light on his hand surged, and he slapped his palm to the side of the sword.
The ancient monk's palm effortlessly struck into the sword ray, and through him, Lu Xiao felt that the spiritual power of the ancient monk's whole body was frantically consumed, and at the same time, the sword light became weaker and weaker.
Another ancient monk who was originally chased by Jianmang also turned around and attacked Jianmang under Lu Xiao's control, and with the joint efforts of the two, the sword mang was finally annihilated, and the spiritual power in the bodies of the two ancient monks was also close to exhaustion.
Lu Xiao let out a long breath and ordered the two to return to the ground.
The two ancient monks returned to the surface, and Lu Xiao once again probed towards the bottom of the pit.
After the strange sword light disappeared, Lu Xiao felt that the fog inside seemed to be thinner, and condensed his divine sense into a line, trying to penetrate the fog to see what was inside.
This mist is extremely strange, not only can it stop the spiritual power, but the divine consciousness can feel a huge resistance when it passes through it.
Lu Xiao gritted her teeth and insisted, wanting to see what was inside.
After a stick of incense, Lu Xiao's wisp of divine consciousness finally passed through the mist with difficulty and saw the scene.
"Oh my God!" Lu Xiao couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the scene inside.
In front of him is an incomparably huge space, with Lu Xiao's divine sense, there is no end, the space is not high, only three or four zhang, at the bottom, Lu Xiao saw a compass-shaped item at a glance, emitting a rich blue light, very dazzling, and around the compass-shaped thing, there are piles of Dao stones!
