Bai Xiu slid down a water pipe, and waved at him after making sure there was no danger below.

By the time Gangneung came down, he had already cleared the mud from the entrance of the cave.

It was a little bigger than he had imagined, about a meter in diameter, but it was already dark by this time, and he couldn't see what was going on down there when he stood at the mouth of the cave.

Fortunately, they were prepared.

Bai Xiu turned on the flashlight he was carrying and shone it down, and found that it was only five or six meters deep, which was not high, and it was not difficult for them to go down.

However, with the idea of thinking about the employer, he still advised: "I'll go ahead, you be careful." ”

Bai Xiu pulled out the Demon Breaker Blade and dug a few grooves in the stone wall as he climbed down.

Gangneung climbed down these grooves and soon reached the bottom.

In front of them was a passage large enough for an adult to pass through, stretching straight to the west, so long that there was no end in sight.

"It seems that we only have one direction to choose from. Jiang Ling walked over with his flashlight.

Bai Xiu intently investigated, and saw that there was indeed no movement nearby, so he was relieved.

They walked for about ten minutes, and the passage came to an end, and to their surprise, it ended not in a hidden place, but in a natural rock crevice.

The crevice was three meters wide, and gradually narrowed to about ten meters above it, disappearing into the rock mass.

Bai Xiu estimated the location, they should have been far away from the construction area, deep in the body of Bodhi Mountain on Mingyue Island.

He and Gangneung walked along the crevice of the rock for another quarter of an hour, and a deep stream of indescribable width, barely bottomless, appeared at their feet—there was no road ahead.

Bai Xiu weighed for a moment and said to Jiang Ling: "Trouble, we didn't bring tools, I'm afraid this distance can't be crossed." ”

Jiang Ling also frowned: "It's strange, I deliberately explained Cheng Lu before and asked him to leave some marks along the way, but we have been walking for so long, and I haven't seen any of them." ”

Bai Xiu put forward his own speculation: "Maybe he came and fell in love with other people's ways?"

Gangneung was still suspicious: "He carried some special substances on his body, and wherever he passed, whether he was under the control of others or not, it would leave traces. ”

Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he thought: "Maybe we were calculated by them at the beginning, Ling Cang and the others didn't want to harm Cheng Lu, but knew that we would come down to check, and deliberately led us here." ”

Jiang Ling's eyes were sharp, and he took his words: "There should be more than one hole under the cistern, Ling Cang took people to one of them, and left the hole we found, so ......"

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the seemingly endless road behind him: "I'm afraid we won't be able to get out." ”

In fact, just as Gangneung guessed, something went wrong when they returned the same way.

It only took them half an hour to walk through the tunnels and crevices before, but now they walked for a full hour, and there was still no trace of the entrance in front of them.

In the end, Gangneung had to accept the fact that "we are afraid that we have fallen into a fantasy and cannot continue to move forward, so let's retreat to the cliff first and see if there is a way out below or on the opposite side." ”

Bai Xiu naturally would not object, but he knew in his heart that things would never be as simple as Jiang Ling said.

The course of events proved that he was not wrong, and when they turned around again, the cliff was gone, and the crevice in the rock they were in seemed to stretch infinitely, and there was no end to how they went.

It took another two hours, and they had to stop and rest.

"We don't have water or food, are we going to die here?" said Gangneung, gasping against the rock wall.

The fatigue of the body is secondary, mainly because the road ahead is boundless, he really has no bottom in his heart, and he also realizes that their trip is somewhat rash.

Bai Xiu didn't answer him, but thought about a question.

It is very likely that they have encountered the Phantom Array, but it stands to reason that as long as it is a Phantom Array, there will be an Array Eye, and as long as he finds the Array Eye, he can figure out the way to break the Formation.

However, they walked for nearly three hours, but he didn't find anything abnormal, if it wasn't for his lack of ability, then this phantom array would be too strange.

You must know that the phantom array has a certain effective range, and even the illusion set by the most powerful phantom shadow technique cannot exceed this distance.

Could it be that the person who laid down this phantom array was even more powerful than the top masters of the Fang family?

And what illusion can be so powerful?

However, this realization made Bai Xiu even more convinced that the fragment of the Tribulation Ding must be hidden on this island.

Wait a minute –

Fragments of the Robbery Ding?!

For a while, Bai Xiu secretly laughed at himself for thinking about the problem too complicated.

In fact, whether this phantom array was originally on the island or a ghost made by Ling Cang, since there was a powerful target such as the Fragment of the Tribulation Ding as a reference nearby, he could use the Imperial Spirit Soul to trace its whereabouts.

He had an intuition that the arrangement here must be in the service of concealing its existence, as long as he found the location of the fragment of the Tribulation Ding, this phantom array would not be self-defeating, so why would he insist on breaking the formation at the expense of the near and far?

Thinking like this, Bai Xiu decided to give it a try.

He wasn't worried that Jiang Ling would be suspicious of his identity because of this, not to mention that the four psychic styles were the secret of the Ming family, even if the other party knew the relevant information about the trace of the Imperial Spirit, he might not be able to recognize it.

After all, he is the only one in this world who can still use this method, and when the time comes, he will cover it up with a casual excuse.

After pondering for a moment, he pretended to be contemplative: "I thought of a way, but I don't know if it will work. ”

Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows: "It's all at this time, don't care if it works, let's use a dead horse as a live horse doctor." ”

Seeing that he had no opinion, Bai Xiu no longer hesitated, and took out the Demon Breaking Blade to cut through the palm of his hand, casting the Imperial Spirit Soul to guide the trace.

The bloodline glistened faintly and galloped away along the crevices of the rock, and then faded away.

Bai Xiu opened his eyes and stood up, his expression a little strange.

Jiang Ling didn't ask him about the result, but looked at the Demon Breaking Blade in his hand, and his face showed an inquiring look: "The shape of your knife is different, it's the first time I've seen such a narrow and thin blade." ”

Bai Xiu didn't want him to know the origin of the Demon Breaking Blade, so he said casually: "Someone else gave it to me, I also think it's very special." ”

Seeing that Jiang Ling was still staring at it, he deliberately changed the topic: "I seem to know how to get out." ”

The other party's attention was really attracted by his words: "What way?"

Bai Xiu couldn't explain for a while, so he simply explained while walking in the direction he came from.

"Maybe we guessed wrong, there is not another entrance to the bottom of the pool, but the road itself is made up of multiple passages freely, and where it leads in the end is constantly changing. ”

Jiang Ling couldn't help but suddenly: "In other words, this is not a phantom array ......"

It wasn't long before they were back in the artificially constructed passage.

Bai Xiu's speed slowed down, carefully observing the details of the walls on both sides, and when he came to a corner, he finally stopped.

"This is it. Bai Xiu raised his foot and kicked hard against a wall, and there was a hollow echo from the back of the wall.

"The back is empty. Seeing this, Gangneung was somewhat clear, "The people who designed this place can change the direction of the passages at will as long as they use the mechanism at the turn, and these passages are very long, and it is difficult for us to notice this. ”

He thought again: "There must be a clue behind this wall, and now that the problem has been found, how are we going to get out?"

Bai Xiu was also thinking about this problem, the mechanism here was extremely exquisite, and they were afraid that they would only have one chance to try.

However, he has a psychic four-style body, and it is not impossible to do anything, and another secret method under the soul searching spell may be able to solve this problem.

He sliced through his palm with the Demon Breaker Blade again, then gently pressed the wound against the wall, blood gushing out, spreading like a mist and finally enveloping the entire wall.

Gangneung looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, a little incredulous, he blinked, and the walls had returned to normal.

As if guessing his thoughts, Bai Xiu shook his head and motioned for him not to ask for the time being, while he was short and groped, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the wall jerked over, revealing a new passageway.

"Let's go. Bai Xiu gestured towards Gangneung.

The latter didn't react, stared at him for a long time, and then said, "Who the hell are you? I've seen many cultivators, but none of them are as powerful as you. ”

Bai Xiu didn't know if she should tell the truth.

Speaking of which, he wants to find the fragment of the Robbery Tripod, and Jiangling is actually a good partner to work with, but if he makes it clear to him, once Jiangling has no intention of cooperating, he will have one more enemy......

He had missed the first Raider Fragment and could not take any more risks.

Bai Xiu's mind changed and he said sincerely: "A person who will never harm you." ”

Jiang Ling didn't dig deeper, looked at him and smiled: "I already regard you as my friend, I hope you won't lie to me." ”

If it weren't for the current situation, he and Jiang Ling might be able to become friends, Bai Xiu sighed in his heart, but unfortunately this friendship and the fragment of the Tribulation Ding could not be both, he could only choose the latter.

Of course, if there is really anything going on in the future, he must also protect them.

Along the way, Bai Xiu broke five more mechanisms, and the dark passage finally came to an end, connecting a rock crevice.

Jiang Ling's expression sank: "We're back again?"

Bai Xiu said with great certainty: "In order to better cooperate with the mechanisms in the passage, the roads here are all about the same, and we are now in another place." ”

They walked forward for another ten minutes or so, and the situation was really different.

There is also a ravine in front of me, but it is not as deep as before, and a plank road with a width of an arm has been built on the edge of the cliff.

It zigzagged downwards to a bluestone path that meandered away and disappeared into another rock crevice.

After waiting off the cliff, Bai Xiu said a possibility: "We misunderstood Ling Cang, he didn't want to harm us, he just knew the mechanism here, and led the others to the right path." ”

Jiang Ling looked away noncommittally, and asked, "Where will that fake route lead under the cliff?"

Bai Xiu remembered the feeling that the blood line had extended there at that time, and his heart was still palpitating, and his body shivered coldly.

Jiang Ling couldn't help frowning, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think about it, I just asked casually." ”

Bai Xiu came back to his senses and said as he walked, "I don't know what the hell is down there...... Let's take a look a little further ahead. ”

The two walked down the bluestone road, and a large space appeared in front of them.

The strange thing is that there is a round platform about three meters wide in this cave, which is engraved with various patterns, and there is a copper tripod almost one person high in the center.

Bai Xiu stepped on it carefully, and when he saw the paper ashes, he instantly understood: "This road should lead to a certain secret place of the Ming family, and there are still traces of their sacrifice here." ”

"Looks like we've come to the right place. Gangneung urged, "Let's go." ”

Bai Xiu followed behind him, but he could also understand his eagerness.

Ling Cang and the others probably have already made a discovery, although this person seems to have no problem now, but Jiang Ling can't trust him after all, so he naturally wants to take the situation into his own hands.

They had not gone long and came across a cave with an altar identical to the previous one.

It wasn't until the two of them numbered eight that a light suddenly came from the front.

Bai Xiu took a closer look, only to find that the rock crack had reached the end, and was replaced by a bluestone brick passage that was one foot square.

The lights were lit in the passage, to his surprise and reasonable, they were all listening to the soul lamp.

Gangneung apparently misunderstood: "They have indeed arrived." ”

Bai Xiu didn't need to look carefully to know what the situation was: "These are everlasting lights, and they haven't been extinguished for twenty years." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lingqi said, "Could it be that Ling Cang and a few people haven't arrived yet?"

Bai Xiu actually had an answer in his heart: "I'm afraid there are many entrances to this secret place. ”
