Chapter 130: The Tunnel
After Xiao Yu entered the secret passage, he walked along the steps of the passage and went all the way to the ground.
At the same time, the power of the soul was released, and the surrounding environment was carefully examined.
Guan Tao followed behind him, holding the judge's pen tightly in his hand, his expression focused.
The two of them walked one after the other, heading deep underground.
In the beginning, the tunnels were narrow.
After walking dozens of feet, the two turned a corner, and the tunnel suddenly opened up.
From here, the traces of artificiality are very visible.
The underground passage is about one zhang high and very spacious.
Torches hung on the stone walls on both sides, and ever-bright lamps were lit, glowing with dim firelight.
At a glance, about a hundred zhang away, you can see a cave with a faint light.
"Something seems to be calling out to me there?"
Xiao Yu frowned, and he felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling and burning a little.
However, to get there, you have to go through a passage made up of black and white floors in front of you.
"The cave in front is the treasure of the King of Shu, right?" Shi Da's voice sounded behind Xiao Yu, his voice full of greed and excitement.
Xiao Yu turned his head and saw the Heavenly Saint Sect led by Shi Da and the Baihuamen led by Sun Zhining entering side by side, but they were wary of each other.
Before them, it was Lin Yu and Uncle Fan.
The two of them glanced at the people of the Heavenly Saint Sect and the Hundred Flowers Sect, and hesitated for a moment,
exchanged words softly, and finally, walked to Xiao Yu and Guan Tao's side.
"Why don't you leave?" asked Xiao Yu curiously.
Xiao Yu pointed to the passage ahead and replied, "There is a mechanism here, we have to be careful." ”
Guan Tao's face was solemn, and there were words in his mouth.
Under his control, the Judge's Pen floats in the air, directing potential dangers.
Shi Da and Sun Zhining didn't dare to be careless.
The two parties came to hunt for treasures, and they had already expected this situation, so they both brought a disciple who was proficient in the mechanism and formation and began to crack the mechanism.
"Be careful, these mechanisms are very delicate. ”
Guan Tao reminded Xiao Yu that there were also Lin Yu and Fan Shudao.
The people who broke the formation of the Hundred Flowers Sect and the Heavenly Saint Sect also instructed their fellow sects of their respective sects to be careful.
However, the mechanism formation here is very exquisite, and although there are three formation masters, it cannot be completely cracked in a short time.
Moreover, for some reason, there is an inexplicable power in this passage that can affect Wu Xiu's mind.
A disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect did not pay attention and stepped on a piece of black floor.
"Click!"
Without warning, the floor caved in, revealing a deep hole.
"What?"
That disciple was just about to use his true qi and exert his body technique.
In the dark trap below, a dark golden white bone arm stretched out like lightning, grabbed his ankle with precision, and pulled him closer to the hole.
"Ahh
A terrible scream came from the trap, and suddenly there was a creaking sound, and the screaming stopped abruptly.
Immediately, the black floor closed again, as if it had never been opened.
The creaking sound echoed through the empty caverns, making people feel creepy.
And the white bone arm stretched out just now made everyone suspect that there was a monster in the trap, ready to choose someone at any time.
As everyone advanced, the black and white floor continued to open and close and dent, and the white bone arms that suddenly came out could catch some unlucky disciples, pull them closer to the traps, and then there was a creaking chewing sound.
These white bone arms, like messengers from hell, seem to pull the misguided martial cultivators closer to the endless darkness.
"I can't stand it!"
A female disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect was on the verge of collapse at the terrifying sound of chewing, and reflexively ran out of the passage.
She was extremely fast, her feet did not touch the ground, and she ran quickly towards the road she had come from, trying to use her body advantage to break through this passage.
However, as soon as she ran three feet away, there was a click on both sides of the stone wall, and two rows of cold metal cylinders appeared.
There were countless fine holes on the surface of these metal cylinders, and with the route of the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect, they rotated rapidly, spewing out silver needles as thin as a cow's hair.
Woooo
The silver needles were overwhelming, and the speed was extremely fast, drowning this disciple in an instant, penetrating her body-protecting true qi.
After a terrible scream, the man fell from the air, leaving behind a corpse full of holes, gurgling purple and black blood.
Everyone was shocked and had no way back, so they could only grit their teeth and move forward.
Guan Tao, the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the three people who broke the formation of the Hundred Flowers Gate all had solemn faces, and they accelerated the pace of cracking.
If you drag it out any longer, even if you don't get swallowed by the trap, you will be driven crazy by this inexplicable force.
Uncle Fan's expression was solemn, and he protected Lin Yu and didn't let him look around.
And Xiao Yu was engrossed in watching Guan Tao crack the mechanism.
In the process of watching Guan Tao crack the mechanism, Xiao Yu had a hint of enlightenment.
The mechanism formation is a way, and the subtlety of the formation and layout is emphasized.
The key to cracking this is to find the hidden design in this channel mechanism.
In other words, it's about finding the anomaly.
Of course, this is easier said than done.
Many of the mechanisms are very cleverly hidden and unexpected.
Some of the mechanisms may be a stone slab, while others may be a 'rubble' on the stone slab, and these mechanisms may appear to be integrated into the entire passage, but in fact they are hidden murderous motives.
However, Xiao Yu was able to help a little because of this.
His powerful soul power is in full swing here.
Because those hidden mechanisms, no matter how elaborately designed, will be slightly different from normal stone slabs, but only a little different.
Therefore, with a strong soul power, you can feel these abnormalities.
Although Guan Tao is proficient in the mechanism formation, his qualifications are limited.
And cracking the formation mechanism, just like fire control in alchemy, requires extremely high attainments of soul power.
Although Xiao Yu didn't understand the formation, his soul was strong and he was more sensitive to the abnormality of the trap mechanism, so under the guidance of Guan Tao, Xiao Yu also tried to crack it.
At the beginning, Xiao Yu would still make some mistakes, and he was not very clear about the difference between the mechanism and the normal floor.
However, to Guan Tao's surprise, after ignoring a few mechanisms, Xiao Yu quickly found a hidden mechanism.
Moreover, he is making rapid progress.
Guan Tao couldn't help but admire Xiao Yu's comprehension and powerful soul power.
"If you learn the formation, you will definitely be able to surpass me in less than a year, but it's a pity. ”
Guan Tao sighed.
Of course, he was a pity because Xiao Yu chose alchemy.
Xiao Yu smiled, not knowing if it was okay or not.
Lin Yu, who was watching on the side, was curious: "You are still proficient in formations?"
Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "No." ”
"I'm just a little stronger in my soul. ”
"Bragging!" Lin Yu pursed his lips, not believing it at all.
Xiao Yu didn't argue with him, and continued to discuss with Guan Tao for advice and crack the mechanism.
In the process of learning, Xiao Yu also tried to use his soul to probe under the floor, but with the power of his soul, he could only see through the thin layer, and could not see through the operation of the mechanism.
When this channel is designed, it is necessary to anticipate people with strong spiritual sense, so this thick floor has the effect of isolating spiritual consciousness.
"Be careful!"
Xiao Yu and Uncle Fan almost spoke in unison and went to pull Lin Yu's little hand.
"Crash!"
Just as a few people were talking, the white floor in front of Lin Yu suddenly dented, and a white bone arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed Lin Yu.
After falling short, he suddenly turned to Guan Tao.
"Ahh
Xiao Yu's eyes were quick, and he suddenly grabbed Guan Tao's collar and pulled him away.
With the help of Xiao Yu, Guan Tao dodged the white bone arm by half an inch.
The white bone arm splashed a burst of metallic sparks on the ground, and Guan Tao was in a cold sweat when he saw it.
Xiao Yu raised his leg and stepped on the white bone arm on the ground with one kick.
However, the pull in the trap was extremely terrifying, and under Xiao Yu's power, he still broke free and returned to the depression, leaving only five scratches on the ground.
Lin Yu playfully stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "I'm scared to death!"
However, Xiao Yu didn't see any fear in his eyes.
And Uncle Fan protected Lin Yu even tighter, following Xiao Yu and Guan Tao closely, not leaving an inch.
At the same time, I couldn't help but look at this teenager a few more times.
"It's unbelievable that this kid's reaction is not much slower than mine. ”
Uncle Fan recalled Xiao Yu's reaction just now, and his heart was shocked.
"Thank you. ”
Guan Tao glanced at Xiao Yu with a complicated expression.
Not only because Xiao Yu discovered the danger just now before him, but also because Xiao Yu actually saved his life, I don't know whether to be grateful or resentful of him for poisoning himself.
Shi Da and Sun Zhining looked at Xiao Yu's gaze, and their faces were not good.
I thought that this kid would kill halfway, but I didn't expect that he seemed to be proficient in the mechanism formation, and the chill was getting stronger.
The hundred-foot-long passage was difficult to crack, and more than a dozen corpses were left behind.
On the contrary, Xiao Yu and the others were few, and with his powerful soul power, with Guan Tao's organ formation attainments, there was no danger along the way.
After an hour, the crowd finally passed the black and white floor and stepped on the solid ground.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they finally walked through the nightmare.
However, the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect and the Hundred Flowers Sect, who were below the Martial Artist Seventh Heaven, all lost their lives and died unexpectedly.
Only Xiao Yu's group was intact.
At this moment, in front of everyone was a wide hole, revealing a golden light.
And in the same way, the sensation is becoming more and more obvious.
Several people frowned, the King of Shu acted above board, how could there be such a strange place here?
Only Xiao Yu frowned slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
On both sides of the cave entrance, there were strange patterns carved, and Guan Tao frowned.
"Something doesn't seem right here. He shook his head, "This doesn't look like the style of the King of Shu." ”
"What did you find?" Xiao Yu asked.
Guan Tao frowned and said: "The style of this pattern is a little wrong. ”
Xiao Yu's brows furrowed, and he also found an abnormality.
Lin Yu was curious: "Is there anything special about these patterns?"
Guan Tao pointed to a stone wall and said: "The totem of the ancient Shu Kingdom is the Gale God Rhino, but the carving and decoration here is a phantom flower, which is obviously inconsistent with the style of the King of Shu. ”
Hearing his words, Shi Da scoffed: "What a coward, if you are afraid, go back!"
After that, seeing the formation master next to him nodding, he was surprised in his heart and took the lead in walking into the cave.
Sun Zhining hesitated for a moment, and followed closely with the people of Baihuamen.
After all the disciples of the two factions rushed in, Xiao Yu also patted Guan Tao's shoulder and said, "Let's go, we will act when we have the opportunity." ”
After speaking, Xiao Yu lifted his spirit and walked into the cave.
Guan Tao, Uncle Fan, and Lin Yu glanced at each other, all of them were on guard, and walked into the unknown cave.
