Chapter 91: The Underground Passage
These three problems, as far as the only information available at the moment, cannot be solved at all, the first two problems need to wait for the confession of the evil alliance, as for the third ......
"Shen Xuan, let's go and see what's going on in the auction hall. ”
Guo Chen thinks it is necessary to take a look for himself, the scope of the collapse is so wide, and it is so standardized, it should not be man-made, it should be something happened to the underground space itself.
At this time, the interrogation of the royal family has already begun, although the soul ability of this evil alliance is very fragile, but the ability to keep it secret is really good, and Ling Yunhao has no way to check their memories through the illusion space.
Of course, it is also possible that the spiritual power level is not enough, and maybe when he reaches the ground level, he can check their memories, but now he does not have this ability.
"No, the people of this evil alliance are as if they are unconscious, no matter how much we ask, or even use spiritual power to stimulate their meridians, they still don't say anything. ”
Ning Zhi is now tired and sweating profusely, and he still can't ask anything from the mouths of the three evil alliances, yes, it's three.
The body of the evil alliance person who performed the illusion technique on Guo Chen in the square, and then the evil alliance person who was killed by the counter-killing has also been found, and Ling Yunhao injected the soul of an evil alliance person into it.
Counting the one brought out of the underground, and the one who was injured and recuperating in the old city, there are three evil alliance members in total.
"They may have cut off their senses with their psychic powers, so an attack must be done on their souls in order for them to feel it. ”
Jiang Ling, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said something, and when he said this, he was looking at Ling Yunhao, and it was already obvious what he meant.
Didn't you just want Ling Yunhao to use the illusion technique and try to attack the souls of the three of them to see if there was a way to get them to speak.
There was no way, since Jiang Ling had said so, it was not easy for him to excuse himself, he got up and came to the three evil alliance people, and took out the Red Void Soul Sword.
Now he also needs to maintain the illusion space to imprison the souls of the evil alliance, so there is not much spiritual power that can be used, although it is much more than Guo Chen, but he must also use it as sparingly as possible.
In this case, using the Red Void Soul Flame is a good choice, which can scorch the souls of the evil alliance without consuming much spiritual power.
Crimson flames burned on the Red Void Soul Sword, and his arm trembled slightly, and three small flames flew out and landed on the foreheads of the three evil alliance members.
It's not that Ling Yunhao is reluctant to use more, it's just that he doesn't want these three bodies to suffer any further damage, after all, if you want the evil alliance people to confess, having a body is the first condition.
As for the Red Void Soul Flame, the power of burning souls is far greater than that of burning the body, no matter how much Red Void Soul Flame is released, the damage to the soul will not be weak.
Ning Zhi and Jiang Ling were behind them at this time watching this scene happen, they were not too shocked by the fact that this kind of flame could burn their souls, after all, this was not the first time they had seen it.
In the original Lin Island Secret Realm, Ling Xu had also used similar abilities, they were shocked at the time, but now they are not so shocked, what is there to be shocked about something that has already been seen once?
At this time, Guo Chen and Shen Xuan had already arrived near the auction hall, explained to the people of the royal family, and entered it through a window.
The auction hall is still much taller than the underground space, so only the lower part is sunk into the ground, and the upper part is still on the ground.
Now the only way to enter the underground space is to go downstairs to the original entrance of the auction hall through some windows that were originally on the upper floor, but it is not known exactly what the situation is.
Compared with the sudden collapse of the auction house, the bigwigs are still more concerned about the affairs of the evil alliance, so they only let the royal soldiers come to guard and prevent outsiders from approaching.
As for investigating the situation and the like, no one has really come, Guo Chen and Shen Xuan were the first to come here, and no one knows what the situation is below.
The terrain of the auction hall is quite familiar to the two of them, and they walked down, and soon came to the first floor of the auction hall.
Guo Chen could see the situation in the darkness clearly through the pupil of nightmares, but Shen Xuan couldn't, so he took out the Blue Secret Sword and lit the Blue Secret Flame for lighting.
"In this way, we will go to the original underground entrance first, and then enter the entrance of the auction hall to check, whatever the reason, there will definitely be traces at the underground entrance. ”
Guo Chen said this to Shen Xuan, in his opinion, the collapse caused by man and the collapse of the ancient ruins themselves will definitely have different traces at the entrance.
Shen Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse, and followed him to the entrance of the underground, and then the two of them found that although the stairs were gone, the passage was still there!
The two looked at each other, nodded, and walked into the passage together, although he didn't know where it led, but he felt that there must be something wrong with this passage.
It stands to reason that if the underground space collapses, this entrance should be blocked by rubble, and since he doesn't, there must be a reason.
They were the first to arrive at the auction house, and it couldn't have been cleaned up artificially, which was a natural occurrence, and it was not surprising that this kind of thing happened on the ancient ruins of the Nightmare Clan.
At least in his eyes, the person from a thousand years ago was omnipotent, and it was even possible that he was still alive in the world.
The two of them walked along the passage, all the way, and after a few corners, they soon came to a place where he had been, which was the very center of the ancient ruins!
But the space here is really small and pitiful, the two of them have to squat half-way when they come in, and the two of them plus a stone tablet already occupy almost the entire space.
"It's ancient writing, can you read it?"
Shen Xuan also knew that he could read ancient characters, but he didn't know that he had already been here, nor did he know that he had read the content on it.
"I've been here before, and it should be the deeds of the person who built this ancient ruin, and the final prophecy can only see the first half, and the rest is no longer clear. ”
He then briefly repeated the contents of the stele, and then began to look around the passage to see if there was any other way.
I don't know why, this passage was originally for the two of them to pass, but it was already narrow and pitiful here.
Although I don't know what the reason is, it is enough to prove that this is not man-made, and if it is man-made, then the person should be leaving the underground space.
If this is the case, it should be the beginning of the passage, where they are now, which is narrower and narrower the further outwards it goes.
But now it's the opposite, and if someone enters from the outside after the collapse, there is not enough time at all.
Because the two of them came shortly after the collapse, even if someone avoided the soldier's sight and entered the auction house, there was no time to dig out the passage.
Then there is only one last possibility left, this passage is naturally formed, not artificially created, and as for the reason, he is no longer in the mood to think about it.
Because he knew that this was not something he could think about at his current level, all of this might have been designed thousands of years ago, and with his current strength, he couldn't see through it at all.
"Burn it, you can't keep this thing, if you meet someone who understands ancient characters, it's easy to guess me. ”
After repeatedly confirming that there were no other passages here, he said this to Shen Xuan, signaling him to burn this place with the Blue Secret Flame, and the content on this stone tablet spread out, which was very unfavorable to him.
Shen Xuan nodded, the Blue Secret Sword in his hand was thrown out, and the Blue Secret Flame instantly covered the end of the entire passage, watching the stone tablet being swallowed by the flames little by little, the two of them did not leave.
The spread of the Blue Secret Flame is very fast, and if it is not recovered through the Blue Secret Sword, the entire auction house will soon be burned, so they must take the Blue Secret Flame back here.
Everything went smoothly, the Blue Secret Flame successfully burned the end of the passage, and Shen Xuan also recovered the Blue Secret Flame in time, without letting the flames burn the passage.
"Let's go, go to the entrance of the auction house, since there is no clue to the sudden collapse of the underground space, I guess it is there. ”
As he spoke, he had already turned around and walked towards the auction hall, and Shen Xuan immediately followed, and now he had already decided that someone wanted them to see something a thousand years ago.
Since this thing is not at the entrance to the underground, it must be at the entrance of the auction house, and the person from a thousand years ago has accurately predicted what will happen now.
But this time, he was disappointed, and when he opened the door to the entrance of the auction hall full of hope, he saw dirt and gravel, and there was no passage at all.
Seeing the scene in front of him, and then at Guo Chen, who was stunned, Shen Xuan asked, "What should I do?"
"What else can I do, go back, there should be no clues in the auction hall, let's go and see what the people of the evil alliance say first." ”
As a result, as soon as he finished saying this, before he could react, he heard someone coming down from above, and the two looked up, just in time to see Jiang Ling and Ning Zhi.
"Why are you here, did the people of the evil alliance say anything?"
Seeing that it was these two people, his first reaction was that the matter on the side of the evil alliance had been resolved, so he asked.
"I haven't said anything yet, your people are still using illusion techniques to interrogate, so we thought let's see how the auction hall suddenly sank, and did we find anything?"
Jiang Ling briefly explained the situation on the side of the evil alliance, and then began to ask them if they had gained anything.
Faced with Jiang Ling's question, Guo Chen didn't know whether to tell the truth for a while, he didn't dare to tell lies in front of Jiang Ling, because he was afraid of being recognized.
But he couldn't say that they found out, and they didn't want to be discovered by others, so they just burned it.
Of course he can't say that, but now the guards outside are the royal soldiers, and when they came in, Gangneung should know.
If he lies, he won't be able to pass the timeline alone, so even if he lies, he can't lie about the route of their actions.
After thinking about it for a while, he spoke: "It can't be said that nothing has been found, but it is true that nothing useful has been found, and there is a passage over there." ”
He said about the passage, but he didn't mention anything about the stone monument at the end of the passage, so let's wait until Gangneung arrives there, and then improvise.
"Have you already been, where does it lead?"
Gangneung asked two questions in succession, and in this case, they were both difficult problems, but he still easily fooled them over.
"I went, and there was only a pile of ashes at the end of the passage, as if something had been burned, and it had just been burned. ”
He told the truth again, so there were no flaws, and Jiang Ling didn't suspect him.
