Chapter 896: Mysterious Tunnel
At the beginning, he didn't feel the existence of a dungeon when he first sensed the distance of two hundred meters on the ground, but when Ji Ruling's soul power continued to go deeper, he found that an extremely long secret passage appeared below them, one end of this tunnel was connected to the bottom of Xiancheng, and the other end led to a forest deep in the distance, because this depth was beyond Ji Ruling's perception range, he could not perceive it in great detail, he could only know the general direction, but this was already a good start for them.
At this time, Chu Yunfeng had also come out of the city, and he knew that he had gained something by looking at his face full of spring breeze, so he directly took out a drawing from his arms, "This is the map of this Xiancheng, and it is also marked with the excavation of the Tianwu Palace, but looking at their posture, it seems that they have not found anything very valuable, but the people of the Tianwu Hall are very powerful, and they have dug the entire city down at least a hundred or ten meters deep, I don't know if they can't find the treasure again, will they dig through the land."
"Don't care what those guys do, I seem to sense that there is a secret passage directly into the forest below, the depth is about three hundred meters, we have to hurry up and go in before them to see, if the people of the Tianwu Hall dig this secret passage, it will not be good" Ji Ruling immediately took the three of them into the jungle, and while rushing forward, he sensed the direction of the secret passage, and finally came to a steep cliff.
I don't know where this cliff comes from, it is dark from the top down, bottomless, and there are gusts of wind blowing upwards, and there is a very harsh sound of wind.
Chu Yunfeng picked up a branch from the ground and threw it down, and before the branch fell far, it was directly cut by the Gangfeng below, which made him gasp and start to worry, "Are you sure that the tunnel is below the passage, this terrain is too steep, and there is a strong turbulence below, even if it is flying in the sky, it is difficult to maintain balance here, not to mention that the Gangfeng is so strong, I think these two girls should not have learned any body refining methods, and they will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Gangfeng below." ”
"This place is a little dangerous, I guess it's because of this, that's why it's been so long before anyone finds out where the exit of this secret passage is, I'll go down and take a look, you wait for my news, and then you control the Xuanwu Organ Beast and bring the two of them down together" Ji Ruling took out the Xuanwu Organ Beast and put it in front of them, Chu Yunfeng is a disciple of the Mo family, of course, he will also control the Organ Beast, with the protection of the hard armor of the Xuanwu Organ Beast, they don't have to go down alone.
Ji Ruling had already cultivated the Chaos Golden Body to the eighth layer, so he naturally ignored it and climbed down the cliff directly.
When he stood on it, he didn't feel anything, and only a few meters down, Ji Ruling felt that the fierce Gangfeng was blowing from all directions, and the Gangfeng shuttling up and down kept pulling him down, and the rampant Gangfeng was like a sharp knife constantly chopping his body, although it couldn't cause him any damage, but the clothes he was wearing outside still suffered a lot.
Ji Ruling directly inserted his five fingers into the rocks, barely maintaining the balance of his body, leaving one after another five finger prints on those stones, slowly moving downward, the tunnel was inclined downward, and when it was perceived outside Xiancheng, the depth of the tunnel was about two hundred meters to three hundred meters underground, and by the time it reached the edge of the cliff, it had at least penetrated to a distance of five hundred meters.
The further down the cliff, the more violent the wind becomes, in the later stage Ji Ruling can only climb down while using a rope to fasten the safety knot in the cliff to prevent being accidentally blown out, after nearly an hour of slow down, finally in the dark, Ji Ruling found a dark cave, the entrance is not big, just let one person pass through, but the entrance is sealed with an iron railing, in such a strong wind for thousands of years, the railing is still smooth as a mirror, there is no sign of erosion.
Ji Ruling tried to open the iron lock on the railing, but he didn't succeed, and he also thought about breaking the railing with brute force, but the materials on both sides of the river are excellent, and they are almost catching up with the level of the ancient treasure, and after trying a few times, he still can't enter, Ji Ruling can only send a signal to let the three people above come down to help solve the problem of this railing.
The three of them controlled the Xuanwu Trap Beast, and went down to Ji Ruling's location, the huge body of the Trap Beast was stuck in the middle of this valley, forming a wall, helping the three of them temporarily block Gangfeng's attack, Chu Yunfeng is a master of lockpicking, and he has a set of lock-picking tools on his body, where is a person tinkering for a long time, and finally opened his iron lock, and the four of them got into the secret passage, which avoided the torture of those Gangfeng in the canyon.
I don't know if it triggered some mechanism when they came in, they only took a few steps forward, and the walls on both sides of the tunnel lit up with oil lamps, illuminating their way forward, and the sudden change and the terrifying sound of the wind outside made them vigilant.
"Be careful, there is a good chance that there is a mechanism here" Ji Ruling and Chu Yunfeng stopped in front of Chi Yu and Shi Tian'er, and walked in front, in case of triggering any attack-type trap, such a narrow passage, it was impossible to dodge.
However, Chu Yunfeng had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he had already expected such a thing to happen, so he made full preparations in advance, and took out a lot of trap rats from his space ring, these trap rats were originally used to crack the traps, so many of them were released together, and every corner of the tunnel was carefully searched.
Sure enough, as Ji Ruling expected, not long after those machine rats rushed out, there was a burst of restlessness in the tunnel, and the hidden arrows flying out of the walls, flames and falling rocks, etc., or the ground suddenly sank, revealing a crypt full of spikes.
Although this kind of mechanism is old-fashioned, but it is still very defensive when encountering ordinary small thieves, through those mechanisms that have set off, although those mechanisms of the dark crossbow look very rusted, but the arrows are still cold, these mechanisms have been set up here for a long time, after such a long time can still operate freely, the people who make these mechanisms are really skilled.
With the trap rat clearing the obstacle in front of them, Ji Ru made them naturally relax, walking slowly along the tunnel, and observing the surrounding stone walls to prevent any traps that had not yet been touched.
