It turned out that after Cao Leijun entered the mysterious cave that day, he was silent. He Xiaohu and several scientists waited for several days but did not see them come out. I knew something was wrong. He Xiaohu originally wanted to go to the cave to find the traces of Cao Leijun and others, but thinking of the task given to him by Cao Leijun, He Xiaohu had to suppress his impulse. The scientists of the expedition were sent to the rear and reported to their superiors for help.

The Cao family and the Li family behind Cao Leijun are all veteran and powerful people in domestic politics, and the descendants of the Cao family, the son-in-law of the Li family has disappeared so much, which naturally caused a great shock.

After Li Moran got the news, he immediately thought of Zhang Shanhai, and if anyone could save Cao Leijun at this time, it would be only Zhang Shanhai.

"It's all brothers, don't be so polite, as long as I can help, I will definitely try my best to do it." Zhang Shanhai said.

Zhang Shanhai and Li Moran rushed to Western Xinjiang on the same day, Zhang Shanhai had never been to Western Xinjiang at all, but he was so anxious that there was no way to get there as soon as possible. I can only take the car all the way through without stopping.

It took two or three days to get to the place. Originally, Li Moran also hoped that Cao Leijun would be able to come out on his own, but where did he learn that Cao Leijun and others were still missing and had not been found.

Under the leadership of He Xiaohu, Zhang Shanhai and Li Moran came to the location where Cao Leijun disappeared that day. The mysterious cave was still there, and Zhang Shanhai used his divine sense to test it, but found that this cave was just an extremely ordinary cave, without any mysteries. But there is something strange in this cave. The cave is not like the usual stone cave, there is a lot of space inside, but it is not a stone cave, but it seems to be covered with mud. The most bizarre thing is that Zhang Shanhai unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a dungeon hidden in this cave. Zhang Shanhai can see the outline of this city, and the scale is extremely grand. Of course, it was buried in the ground by the soil at this time. But it is conceivable that this must have been an extremely prosperous city in ancient times.

How did this underground city get buried underground? Who are the people who live in the city? How did they disappear into the city? One question after another. Filled with Zhang Shanhai's brain. Why hasn't such a large city left any traces in history?

Zhang Shanhai is not an archaeologist and doesn't particularly care about these issues, but he smells a smell in this buried city. Li Moran, who was walking forward with Zhang Shanhai, suddenly had a problem. He seemed to be attracted to something, and his body stiffened and kept moving forward.

"Huh? Brother Li, where are you going? Zhang Shanhai shouted.

But Li Moran didn't seem to hear it. Continuing to walk forward, Zhang Shanhai realized that something was wrong, Li Moran was actually bewitched.

Zhang Shanhai hurriedly chased after him, patted Li Moran on him, and a spiritual clearing technique woke Li Moran over.

"What happened to me?" Li Moran couldn't even remember what he had just done.

"Nothing. You follow me, there's weirdness in this dead city. Zhang Shanhai said.

"Dead city? Have you heard of this city? Li Moran was surprised.

Zhang Shanhai shook his head and said, "There is no living city, what is it that is not a dead city?" ”

"I see, I thought you knew the city." Li Moran said.

The reason why Zhang Shanhai called this city a dead city is that in fact, although this city has been underground, I don't know how many years it has existed. The inhabitants of this place also do not know how many years it has disappeared. But Zhang Shanhai smelled a strong dead air in this city. In order not to disturb Li Moran, Zhang Shanhai did not tell Li Moran about it.

"This city is so big, how can it be buried in the ground?" Li Moran shone everywhere with a flashlight, and he couldn't see the edge of this underground city at all.

"Who knows? Not a single bone was seen, and it was clearly not caused by war or plague. It seems more like a migration. Zhang Shanhai said.

"Is it because of the lack of water here?" Li Moran asked.

Zhang Shanhai shook his head, "It shouldn't be because of the lack of water, because I have heard the sound of water, which means that the city has not been cut off from water even now." So, it shouldn't have disappeared because of lack of water. ”

So why did they leave such a bustling city? At the scale we see now, the city should have been a big city in their time. Li Moran said.

"Forget it, don't talk about it so much. It's important for us to find someone. There should be some traces of where they walked. Zhang Shanhai said.

Zhang Shanhai naturally would not stupidly rely on himself and Li Moran to find Cao Leijun's whereabouts. He used a three-pronged approach, on the one hand, he sent the Yin Spirits to search around. In addition, Cao Leijun's divination was given a hexagram, but the hexagram was very complicated, and Zhang Shanhaizhi was able to roughly determine that Cao Leijun's life was worry-free at this time. But the specific location is not calculated at all. Zhang Shanhai knew that he couldn't calculate the specific location of Cao Leijun, which had a lot to do with the situation in this dead city. This dead city is buried underground, and at the same time, there is a strange formation in this city, which will seriously affect the hexagram.

Zhang Shanhai and Li Moran followed the traces left by Cao Leijun and others all the way. Cao Leijun is also a very experienced person, and in the process of walking, every step will leave a mark. He Xiaohu understands the meaning of marking.

"Who!" He Xiaohu shouted violently. Just now he saw a figure flickering at the end of the light.

He Xiaohu kept shining a flashlight in front of him and chased after him quickly.

"Not good." Zhang Shanhai hurriedly chased after him, "Brother Li, hurry up, Comrade He is not quite right." ”

"Hey. Don't worry, I'll be able to keep up. Li Moran hurriedly quickened his pace and caught up.

He Xiaohu ran fast, he often exercised in the army, and his physical strength and speed were very good. There was no problem for Zhang Shanhai to catch up, but Li Moran had some difficulties. Zhang Shanhai had to give Li Moran a light body technique.

Li Moran's body suddenly lightened, and he couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden. One of them rolled out.

"Ouch! Hey. It's weird, I feel like I'm able to fly. ”

"Keep up, Xiaohu is also bewitched." Zhang Shanhai said.

There was nothing in front of him just now, but He Xiaohu was affected by the mysterious formation of this dead city, and he hallucinated, and he couldn't tell what was real and what was illusory at this time.

Zhang Shanhai took three steps and made two steps to chase up. grabbed He Xiaohu with a hand.

"Let go of me, I see the captain. I'm going to chase him. He Xiaohu said impatiently.

Zhang Shanhai roared, and directly suppressed He Xiaohu's frivolous yin soul with a suppression technique.

He Xiaohu came to his senses. He still remembered the situation just now, "I saw the captain just now, and he ran away at once. ”

"That's not your captain. It's a phantom of your own imagination. Zhang Shanhai said.

"How is that possible? I heard him say just now, Huzi, hurry up and keep up. He Xiaohu said.

"We didn't see anything just now. The front is empty, and I see you, and I run forward vigorously. Li Moran said.

"Really?" He Xiaohu asked.

Li Moran said, "Of course. You see, there is a straight road ahead, how could he disappear? ”

He Xiaohu calmed down at this time, "The captain is going for me this time." If I go, the captain will be fine. ”

"Aren't you missing like your captain is missing?" Li Moran said.

"Wait. Something seems to be wrong. Zhang Shanhai said.

"What's going on?" Li Moran asked.

When He Xiaohu saw it, he changed color, "There are no footprints, and there are no marks." ”

When you reach this place, you seem to have disappeared suddenly, and there is no sign of going there. The situation is very strange.

"There's no way they're going to fly away from here, are they?" Li Moran said with wide eyes.

"Don't make noise. Let me take a closer look. Zhang Shanhai said.

This place is a little weird, Zhang Shanhai can feel the traces of the formation from here, but he can't see it clearly. In other words, if the formation is arranged here, it is definitely older than the age of Liu Daonan and Huang Shiyin.

"Could it be the Ancient Formation?" Liu Daonan was very surprised.

"How so? How could such a place leave the Ancient Formation? Besides, we have never seen such a formation in our time. How can we find the Ancient Formation now? Huang Shiyin was a little incredulous.

"If not, then what can it be?" Liu Daonan said.

"Maybe it's some kind of weird cultivation method, the natural formation is different from ours." Huang Shiyin said.

"I seem to be sensing some spatial anomalies here, is this it?" Zhang Shanhai communicated with Liu Daonan in the sea of knowledge.

"Teleportation Array! Yes, there is only this kind of spatial attribute of the Dao method, and I Liu Daonan know very little. No wonder this pattern is so weird. Now it doesn't seem strange at all. Liu Daonan said.

Zhang Shanhai took a closer look, "It should be like this, they just walked to this teleportation point, and the teleportation point suddenly activated, teleporting them to where they didn't know where to go." ”

Li Moran was very anxious, seeing that Zhang Shanhai didn't speak for a long time, he asked anxiously, "Shanhai, have you found anything?" ”

Zhang Shanhai said, "Brother Li, don't worry. This place is a little weird, I'll have to check it out. ”

Zhang Shanhai tried back and forth a few times in the place where Cao Leijun's footprints disappeared, but he couldn't find where the teleportation array was. This formation may have been launched by accident, or it may have to accumulate energy to be able to start again, anyway, Zhang Shanhai guessed a variety of possibilities, but none of them will be of any help to find people.

The ghosts that were released still didn't have any feedback, and I don't know if the news they gave back couldn't be transmitted in this ghost town.

However, a careful search was not without any findings, and Zhang Shanhai found several inconspicuous grooves on the ground.

"Huh. Looks like an aura supply hub. Zhang Shanhai said in his heart.

Zhang Shanhai took out a few spirit stones taken out of the cave from the mustard seeds in Sumeru and put the spirit stones into the groove.

The spirit stone seemed to turn into a liquid, slowly merging into the groove.

Those runes that were not very obvious suddenly became brighter, and a shocking pattern was deeply imprinted on Zhang Shanhai's ghost.

However, even if he got the teleportation array, it was unlikely that Zhang Shanhai would be able to copy this teleportation array. The pattern of the teleportation array is too complicated. And many places are criss-crossed, and it is impossible to see how this formation is drawn.

"Come here." Zhang Shanhai said.

He Xiaohu and Li Moran hurriedly walked to Zhang Shanhai's side.

At this time, Zhang Shanhai's surroundings suddenly lit up, forming a pillar of light, completely enveloping Zhang Shanhai and the three of them. The dazzling white light will flash suddenly.

Zhang Shanhai only felt that it was dark in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, another place appeared. The surroundings were blinded by the white light of the teleportation array. Soon, however, the white light suddenly disappeared. The eyes of the three people suddenly went dark, and the eyes of the three people could adapt to such a big change? The flashlight in his hand seemed to have completely lost its effectiveness and did not shine at all. Good for a while. His eyes finally returned to normal, and the flashlight in his hand finally lit up.

On the ground, three people rediscovered the footprints.

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's the captain they've been here. He Xiaohu said.

Zhang Shanhai said, "In this case, let's continue to follow the footprints. Zhang Shanhai said.

The environment here is much better than before the teleportation, and the surrounding houses seem to have once been palaces. It was built extremely majestic.

But the appearance of the palace gave the three people even greater doubts. "Was this once a royal palace? And what about the kings of that kingdom who once lived here? ”

"Brother-in-law! Where are you? Li Moran suddenly shouted.

"Don't scream!" He Xiaohu said.

"Why?" Li Moran asked.

He Xiaohu said, "Don't you see that this cave is not a stone cave, and once there is a vibration, it is easy to collapse? ”

Zhang Shanhai also said, "Yes. Besides, it's useless for you to shout like that. How could they stay around here after being here for so long? Maybe they're looking for a way. Rest assured. They don't have anything to do now. As long as we can find them in time, there will be no problem. ”

Li Moran nodded, although he was a little reckless, but he was not stupid.

"So what do we do now?" Li Moran said.

"Keep going, there are their footprints. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find them? Zhang Shanhai said.

The footprints led directly to the gate of the palace complex.

The majestic palace has a vague view of the prosperity of the day, with high walls and heavy gates separating the inside and outside of the palace.

"They should also be very interested in this palace. So I went inside. Li Moran said.

Zhang Shanhai said, "There should be other reasons, you see that after he entered the palace, there was no trace of coming out at all." Other words. They should still be in the palace. Of course, there is also a possibility that there may be a teleportation array inside. ”

"It was the teleportation array that brought us over just now?" Li Moran asked.

Zhang Shanhai nodded, "Yes, but this teleportation array is too complicated, and the carving process is extremely difficult, and even if I can make the teleportation array, I'm afraid I won't be able to activate the teleportation array." ”

"I'd better go ahead!" Zhang Shanhai said.

"Mountains and seas, be careful." Li Moran and He Xiaohu hurriedly said.

Zhang Shanhai walked over and pushed the door of the temple open, making a crisp sound, and thick dust fell down. A large cloud of dust almost fell on Zhang Shanhai's head, but fortunately, Zhang Shanhai was clever and hurriedly flashed to the side to avoid the dust falling from the sky. Fortunately, there is no mechanism, otherwise even Zhang Shanhai would be in a hurry.

"I'm just a little strange, did Brother Cao go inside? If so, why is the dust still falling from this door? Zhang Shanhai said.

"Don't worry about it for now, go in and see what the situation is." He Xiaohu said.

"Yes, it's important to find someone." Zhang Shanhai said.

After entering the palace, it was difficult to find a trace. Because in the palace, the ground is all strip-shaped stones, and it is difficult to step on any traces at all. Fortunately, Cao Leijun still paid attention to leaving marks on the ground when he arrived here. Allow several people to know exactly the route they have taken.

"Where have they gone?" Li Moran couldn't wait to shout loudly.

"There's no hurry, I feel like they're getting closer. Let's speed up a bit. Zhang Shanhai said.

Although this place is a palace, Zhang Shanhai found that the yin qi in this place seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and even Zhang Shanhai felt a strong threat here.

Even when he fought with the two major forces of Jiangnan He Family and Changtian Dao a few days ago, Zhang Shanhai did not feel any threat, but today, Zhang Shanhai really felt a huge threat.

"Be careful, there's something wrong with this place." Zhang Shanhai said.

The mark left by Cao Leijun leads to the most majestic treasure hall of the palace complex. The three of them walked over quickly.

Although this palace was shrouded in thick dust, Zhang Shanhai saw that this palace was the place where the black qi was the strongest in the entire palace.

"I think I've found a place. I don't know if it's too late. Zhang Shanhai said in his heart.

"Crunch!" Zhang Shanhai pushed the gate of the palace open, and the slightly decayed door made a loud noise.

"Boom! Someone has thrown themselves into the net again! Ha ha. ”

An eerie voice rang out in the palace, and clouds of dust kept falling.

At this moment, the three of them changed color at the same time.

This is definitely not illusory, but real. Because at that moment, the three of them discovered each other's traces at the same time.

"Scientist, he's the one who disappeared!" He Xiaohu had met Ke Shanfeng.

Zhang Shanhai and Li Moran looked over at the same time, and saw one wearing a Mao suit, glasses, and a pen in his jacket pocket, looking like a scholar.

"He's the missing scientist?" Zhang Shanhai asked.

"Yes, that's him. We've met him before. He Xiaohu said......)
