Chapter 722: Ziyi in Distress (Chapter 1)
Chapter 722: Ziyi in Distress (Chapter 1)
Now that the plan has been decided, all that remains is to strictly enforce it. Although everyone wanted to free up as many people as possible to enter the ruins to compete for the treasure, the forces of all parties did not dare to slack off in the slightest on this matter of life and death. After all, those sea creatures have no reason to talk about, and if they don't handle it well, even if they are strong enough precious treasures, they may not be able to leave this site.
After more than ten minutes of dispatch and deployment, more than a thousand Terran masters were divided into two parts, one part stayed at the city gate and city wall to resist the attack of those sea creatures, and this part of the people was about four hundred people. The other part of the people entered the ruins to search, and there were more than 600 people in this part.
In order to avoid conflict, the forces of several parties have made a simple division of the search area, so as not to get into a big fight between the two forces because of some treasure. If there was no pressure from outside, the forces of all parties might not be willing to do this, especially the powerful Huaxia monks, the Holy See, and the Dark Council. But now it's different, under the siege of dense sea creatures outside, everyone doesn't want to see infighting happen.
Huang Sicheng and the others, who followed the Void Old Dao and others into the ruins, were also divided into two parts, Huang Sicheng, who had rich combat experience, led more than ten members of the adjudication team and five or six Heavenly Demon Sect members to guard the city wall, and the rest followed Ziyi, who had cultivated to the highest level, into the secret realm to search for treasures.
There is no need to say anything about these people who remained on the city walls, they have just been set up for less than twenty minutes. A large number of sea creatures have returned. Compared to the previous creatures, the attacking sea creatures were significantly larger by more than a circle. In the past, you could see two or three meters long, but now the smallest is five or six meters. The larger ones are more than ten meters long, and from a distance, each one looks like a demon that came out of ancient mythology. On top of that, these giant sea creatures don't seem to be afraid of the poisonous mist, which puts a lot of pressure on the human masters defending the city.
Despite the pressure, everyone knew that there was no way back, and now was definitely not the best time to leave here, and there was a sea of sea beyond the ruins. To get out of here, you have to pass through the territory of these giant sea creatures. Besides, the purpose of their entry here was to seize the treasure, and now that the opportunity is in front of them, no one will give up lightly. Therefore, everyone is ready for a bloody battle.
Without any surprises, the battle began in a very short time, and it quickly entered the white-hot phase. Giant sea creatures are surging like a tidal wave, fearless of death. The Terran masters, on the other hand, used the help of strong walls and gates to block the attack. For a time, the battlefield was full of shouts and screams.
Relatively. The part of the people who entered the ruins was relatively relaxed, and everyone was still a little worried at the beginning, after all, this is an ancient ruins, and it is still so well preserved, they are worried that something terrible will suddenly come out of it, so they are careful when searching. But after walking for a while, everyone found that the whole ruins seemed to be an empty city, and not only did they not see half a figure in it, but they didn't even see a single insect or bird.
That's right. Even the most toxic birds and insects cannot survive in such a strong poisonous gas, and it is normal to not see it. In this way, everyone has no scruples, and the search is larger. And this site does not disappoint everyone, there are indeed many treasures inside.
It can be seen that this site was deliberately abandoned by its original owner, and there is not the slightest trace of a fight in it. According to the situation at the scene, one can even infer that they should have walked very calmly, every palace and courtyard, every room and attic was swept clean, and the really valuable things were taken away, leaving only some things of little value.
Although in the era when the ruins were preserved, these things were ordinary daily necessities, and they were not treasures at all. Just like those huge pearls inlaid on the stone pillars of the palace, in ancient times, this may have been the most common decoration of ancient immortals, but in modern times, it is a rare treasure. Such a fist-sized night pearl is worth tens of millions at the auction outside, and it is not impossible to sell it for hundreds of millions of dollars if you meet someone you like.
However, these people who entered the ruins did not value these, everyone was a person with a head and a face, and money was just a bunch of meaningless numbers to them. Everyone is interested in those high-aged spirit herbs, precious ores and metals, and of course, the most exciting ones are those sword magic weapons that are still sharp after countless years, and these can often be encountered in the ruins.
As Xu Yinglong's eldest disciple and the only personal disciple Xu Yinglong has admitted so far, Zi Yi is undoubtedly the most discerning among these people. As soon as she entered here, Ziyi found that this place was a bit similar to Yinglong Palace, although the architectural styles were different, every courtyard and even every house here was larger than that of Yinglong Palace. But the layout is almost always made up of an outer city and an inner city.
Zi Yi knew very well that the outer city was inhabited by some poor people with low cultivation, and the real powerful monks lived in the inner city, and the treasures found there were relatively more valuable. So she didn't stop in front of the ruins after entering the ruins, but led the rest of the Judgment Team to quickly rush through the buildings in front of her towards the inner city.
Walking along the straight avenue, it took about an hour of rapid flight before Ziyi and the others saw the inner city with the gate locked, and Ziyi hurriedly took Cai Yong and the others to quickly approach the city gate, she believed that as long as the city gate of the inner city was opened, then the treasures they got would be more valuable than those people outside combined.
The inner city is protected by a protective shield, and the city gate is also locked with complex formation spirit locks. The formation spirit lock is not a real lock, but the effect of locking the door is better than any iron lock or steel lock, unless you have the absolute strength to directly destroy the city gate, you can't open it at all.
However, this can't help Ziyi, as Xu Yinglong's personal disciple, Ziyi's things learned are very miscellaneous, as long as Xu Yinglong has a certain level of attainment, he will teach her without reservation, and the formation is also one of the most important ones.
Ziyi is more interested in the formation, and her qualifications are also top-notch, so Xu Yinglong intends to let her inherit her mantle in the formation. Ziyi had seen and studied the unraveling method in the jade slip given by Xu Yinglong, but she had never used it. However, when Zi Yi carefully studied the formation lock on the city gate, she smiled, although the formation lock on the city gate was indeed very complicated, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to unlock it with her current cultivation.
But I don't know if it's been too long or what's wrong, anyway, many functions of this formation lock have failed, so this bull fork's formation has become a remnant formation. Moreover, most of the hundreds of high-grade spirit stones used in the formation had lost their luster, and they looked like stones, and Zi Yi knew that it was the expression of the depletion of the spiritual energy in the spirit stones. Then this is much easier, the intact formation Ziyi can't be broken, but she is confident that a remnant formation that has lost the support of her aura can still be unraveled.
In the midst of everyone's amazed expressions, Zi Yi tinkered with the city gate for a while, and then lifted the lock pattern that made the city gate loom on it, but just as they were about to enter the inner city, an accident happened.
I only heard a terrifying roar, and a monster with eight or nine snake heads fell from the sky, and landed in front of Ziyi and the others with a "boom". After seeing the appearance of this monster clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasp. This is this guy, if you count the slender neck, the body is hundreds of meters high, the most terrifying thing is the heads on the body, each snake head is the size of a pickup truck, disgusting saliva continues to flow down the corners of the mouth, sharp teeth flashing cold light, Zi Yi and the others stand in front of this giant beast like a small sampan in front of the aircraft carrier.
