Chapter 831: Overlord 85
Three days is not a long time, but it is definitely not a short time.
If it were outside, three days would be just a snap of a finger for monks with a long lifespan, but in the endless abyss full of dangers and gloom, it would really be like three years.
"Damn, I've been looking for this for so long, but why haven't I found even a single hair of the treasure? Could it be that the captain's news is wrong, there is no treasure here at all, but just an ordinary terrain change?! ”
In the depths of the abyss, Ruan Tianqiong and his party had already searched for all the places they could find many times, but unfortunately, until this moment, they still had no gain, and they had accidentally damaged a team member.
At this point, the patience of the group has already been worn out, except for Ruan Tianqiong, who is still trying to find it, the other two groups of people have long been unable to raise their interest, and they have been grinding foreign work.
"Brother Li Yu, don't complain, no matter what, you didn't have much loss this time, but look at me, not only did I lose a favorite general, but even I myself was injured, hey, if I can't find the treasure this time, then I will really lose a lot."
Listening to Wang Ge's complaints, Li Yu, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his eyes were full of depression.
The members who lost before were the masters under him, but when a group of them were looking for the traces of the treasure, they accidentally ran into an extremely turbulent space, causing the space to shatter, and even he almost died.
"Two, if you have time to complain, it's better to concentrate on continuing to search, if you can't find the entrance to the treasure, I'm afraid the captain won't give up so easily, so I advise you two to cheer up as soon as possible!"
Just when Wang Ge and Li Yu were complaining, Ruan Tianqiong's voice suddenly came from the bottom of the abyss, and there was inevitably some dissatisfaction in his tone.
This time, the three of them were in separate groups, each responsible for different depths of the abyss, but later, in addition to Ruan Tianqiong still sticking to his post, Wang Ge and Li Yu had already merged into one, and they did not continue to implement the original plan at all.
In this regard, Ruan Tianqiong was of course displeased, but because of the face of the two, he repeatedly endured it.
"Yes, Brother Tianqiong is not happy, let's continue to work!"
Hearing Ruan Tianqiong's voice, Wang Ge and Li Yu both pouted, but they didn't dare to directly collide with Ruan Tianqiong, so they could only continue to search, but according to their way of searching, I am afraid that there is no hope in this life.
"Captain, we've been looking for so long, but we don't see anything like a treasure entrance, so there really isn't any treasure here?!"
"Yes, after looking for such a long time, almost every suspicious place has been searched by us, and if we continue like this, before we find the entrance to the treasure, I am worried that we will be overwhelmed first!!"
At the bottom of the abyss, Ruan Tianqiong led his three team members, and the momentum was still full, but at this point, the three people behind him were already a little suspicious.
"Huh, what? I've only been looking for three days, so I'm going to be out of breath? It's a shame that you are still an old man who has followed me for a long time, and you are not even as good as a newcomer!! ”
Hearing the words of the two behind him, Ruan Tianqiong's face was slightly cold, obviously a little displeased, and as he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look at the side of the two, where Ji Dong, who was deliberately brought by him, was constantly beating on a cliff at this time, not only did he not complain, but he also seemed to be very interested.
In the past three days, Ji Dong has not complained at all, and he has worked hardest to find it, frankly speaking, if it weren't for his early determination to kill Ji Dong, he would probably really treat Ji Dong as a cronie.
"Yes, yes, the captain has learned a lesson, we know that we are wrong!!"
Seeing Ruan Tianqiong angry, the two team leaders were so frightened that their bodies trembled, and while apologizing, the two hurriedly dispersed and continued to beat on the surrounding cliffs obediently.
"How can it be so hidden? Could it be that we are looking for the wrong direction? ”
When the two of them continued to be busy, Ruan Tianqiong's brows couldn't help frowning, but they were also a little muttering.
Speaking of which, these people are all experienced veterans, and if there is a treasure entrance here, so many of them should be able to find it, but until now, they don't have any clue.
If it weren't for the glimmer of light emitting from time to time in the canyon, he would have doubted the accuracy of the information he had obtained.
"Captain, there seems to be a situation here!!
At this moment, a slightly anxious voice suddenly came, but it was Ji Dong, who was banging on the cliff wall on the side, turned his head suddenly and shouted loudly to this side.
"Huh?!"
Ruan Tianqiong was thinking at this moment, and the sudden shout made him tremble, and he hurriedly looked towards Ji Dong's position, and his figure was even more rapidly bullied, and his eyes were full of expectation.
"What's going on? Did you find anything?! ”
Before coming to Ji Dong, Ruan Tianqiong didn't care about anything else, but asked Ji Dong directly, and at this time, the other two had already heard the sound and rushed together.
"Lord Captain, my subordinates knocked here and found that there seemed to be some empty salaries here, and asked the captain to personally inspect it."
Ji Dong was standing in front of a cliff that looked slightly whitish at this moment, and pointed to the cliff road casually.
"Captain, the color of this cliff seems to be different from other locations, maybe there is a real problem."
"It really doesn't seem to be the same, but why didn't we notice it before? There's no reason why you can't find such a place! ”
Hearing Ji Dong's report, the other two also had bright eyes, looking at the position pointed by Ji Dong, their faces couldn't help but show anticipation.
"Get out of the way!!"
Ruan Tianqiong didn't have the heart to listen to others talk about it at this time, he had already felt the difference in the cliff in front of him at this time, as for why he hadn't found it before, where did he have the heart to think about this?
"Give me !!"
scolded Ji Dong and the three of them, his right hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and without saying a word, he punched out at the cliff position pointed by Ji Dong.
"Boom !!"
This punch was extremely powerful, and as he punched out, the cliff wall suddenly let out a roar, and suddenly, the smoke and dust in the sky rolled up, blocking everyone's sight.
"Scattered !!"
Seeing that the smoke and dust covered his eyes, Ruan Tianqiong shook his hand to disperse the smoke and dust in the sky, and when the smoke and dust were dispersed, the next moment, a pitch-black hole was so clearly presented in front of the four people, and there was no trace of covering.
"Entrance!! It's really an entrance!! ”
Seeing the entrance of the cave appear, Ruan Tianqiong's fists subconsciously clenched tighter, and a look of excitement involuntarily appeared on his face.
On the cliff, the entrance of the cave is as black as ink, like a black hole leading to the unknown world, giving people endless mystery and reverie.
"Hahaha, the entrance to the treasure, we have finally found the entrance to the treasure!!"
After a short silence, Ruan Tianqiong involuntarily burst out laughing, full of excitement and cheerfulness.
Speaking of which, after searching for so long and not being able to find the place of the entrance, even he began to waver a little, but now that the entrance to the cave is in front of him, all the doubts before can be put away!
"Whoosh ............"
At this time, the sound of breaking wind came from above, but it was the other two teams who heard the movement here and rushed down from above, and they had already come to Ruan Tianqiong's side between breaths.
"Entrance?!! Brother Tianqiong actually found the entrance?!! ”
"Okay, good, the hard work pays off, we finally found it, hahahaha............"
Looking at the unknown black hole in front of them, Wang Ge and Li Yu were also very excited, and they couldn't wait to rush in directly now to see what treasures were in there.
Experience told them that a cave of this scale in front of them would definitely not be left by an ordinary master, maybe it was really like what Ruan Tianqiong said, this underground treasure was really left by a person who had ascended.
As we all know, if the ascended person goes to the divine realm, he can't bring any treasure, because the rules of the divine realm only allow those whose strength meets the standard to enter it, and every ascended person will appear in the divine realm naked, even the clothes on the body must be erased by the rules.
Therefore, those super strong people who know that they are about to soar will leave their accumulation to their own family sects, and if they don't leave it to their family sects, they will naturally hide it directly and leave it for those who are destined.
"Captain, the entrance to the treasure is right in front of you, should we ............ it now?"
Everyone's faces were full of excitement, and the gaze towards the entrance was like a strong man staring at a sexy young girl, while watching, a group leader behind Ruan Tianqiong couldn't help but lick his lips and suggested to Ruan Tianqiong.
"What are you talking about, now that you have found the entrance, of course you should notify the captain as soon as possible, Brother Wang Ge and Brother Li Yu, do you say yes or no?"
His eyes flashed and flashed, Ruan Tianqiong obviously thought secretly in his heart for a moment, and then reprimanded the person who spoke a few words, and then looked at Wang Ge and Li Yu, and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, the entrance was found by Brother Tianqiong, how does Brother Tianqiong arrange it, the two of us listen to you."
"Yes, the two of us have said a long time ago, everything is centered on Brother Tianqiong, whatever Brother Tianqiong says, we people will do it, there is absolutely no second word."
Wang Ge and Li Yu were still very obedient, and it could be seen that the two of them clearly didn't want to come out, so that no matter what Ruan Tianqiong decided, they could guarantee that they could advance or retreat, they could take advantage of it, and if they were responsible, they could easily push it away.
"Okay, in that case, Ruichang, you go and inform the captain to come over, just say that we have found the entrance to the treasure, please come and inspect it yourself."
Ruan Tianqiong did not hesitate this time, and with a wave of his hand, he sent out a team leader behind him to find the captain Luo Cheng and the others.
"Brother Tianqiong, what do you think of this cave entrance?!"
When someone went to look for the captain Luo Cheng, Wang Ge and Li Yu followed Ruan Tianqiong, and they all got closer to the entrance of the cave, and then studied it seriously.
"The cave wall is very smooth, and the strength of the person who dug this cave is at least legendary, presumably the harvest this time should not be too bad."
Ruan Tianqiong's face was indifferent, as if he was casually talking about a trivial matter, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was obviously very concerned about the hole in front of him at this time, but he observed it very carefully.
"Hahaha, yes, I also think this cave is the most unusual one we have seen over the years, it seems that we are really going to develop this time............"
Although according to the rules of the Azure Guard, any member of the Azure Guard must hand over things after receiving the spoils of war, but the rules are dead, but people are alive.
Although the rules of Tianqingwei have not changed over the years, who would really be stupid enough to hand over all the loot? Presumably, the city lord of the City Lord's Mansion was also very aware of this, but it was impossible to delve into it.
To put it bluntly, if the City Lord's Mansion wants to eat meat, how can he not leave a bowl of soup for him to drink?
"I really can't imagine that there are such treasures buried underground in this Apocalypse World, and they are so deeply hidden, fortunately I chose to join the Azure Guard this time, otherwise, how could I encounter such a good thing?"
While Ruan Tianqiong and the others were studying the entrance of the cave, Ji Dong on the side was also not idle.
He discovered this cave, but in fact, he finally discovered the existence of this cave today, and before that, although he did his best, he didn't notice the strangeness here.
"The breath here is very ancient, it must have been buried here for some years, but I don't know what kind of cave world this cave will lead to."
The spiritual power swept around the cave entrance over and over again, but in the end, he still dispelled the idea of probing the spiritual power directly into the depths of the cave entrance.
Ruan Tianqiong and the others' conversations, he had heard them all very clearly before, it was very likely that this was a relic left by a super strong man, although the divine master's methods were very magical, he could cultivate to the point of ascending to the divine realm, and that kind of existence could also be said to be omnipotent, even if the people were no longer here, he definitely didn't dare to act rashly.
"Anyway, since there are definitely benefits to be made here, I can't let it go this time anyway, and this Ruan Tianqiong, since he is bent on letting me die, then I can't let him go this time, it just so happens that his position as a squad leader may be inherited by me."
It's rare to encounter such a good opportunity, of course he can't let it go, although he doesn't know what treasures will be in the hole in front of him, but no matter what there is, he has to take it all.
Whether it is Ruan Tianqiong or Luo Cheng, it is not a threat in his eyes, and if he wants to kill someone, why should he do it himself?
"Hahaha, Captain of the Sky Dome, you really didn't disappoint this seat............"
Just as Ji Dong was thinking, a long laugh suddenly came from a distance, and the laughter did not stop, and the captain Luo Cheng took three squad leaders and ten group leader-level masters, and in an instant, he had come to the front of everyone
In the wide cave, more than 20 Azure Guards gathered in a circle, cautiously exploring forward, led by the three Azure Guard team leaders holding torches, making the pitch-black cave somewhat bright, but for some reason, the firelight that should have shone far away could only illuminate a very small area, just like fluorescence in the night.
"Good fellow, what the hell is this hole? We've all gone tens of thousands of meters, and we still haven't reached the end, and we really don't know how much effort it will take to dig this cave. ”
In the middle of the crowd, the captain Luo Cheng slowly advanced under the protection of a group of team leaders and six captains, but after walking for nearly half an hour, his original patience had been slightly exhausted.
Because the cave is relatively dim and full of unknowns, after the group entered the cave, they didn't dare to let go of their footsteps and rush in, so they could only explore while walking, for fear that they and others would accidentally touch a certain mechanism and bury themselves here.
Speaking of which, most of the fall of Tianqingwei was caused by the exploration of certain relics or treasures, and in view of this, everyone did not dare to be sloppy at all, so they could only come step by step.
"Don't worry, my lord, I think my lord also feels it, the cave we are in, the terrain is obviously downward, I believe that it won't be long before we can reach the end of the cave."
Listening to Luo Cheng's complaints, Ruan Tianqiong, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth, and then comforted with a smile.
After discovering the entrance to the cave before, he actually proposed to let his subordinates explore the cave first, but Luo Cheng didn't trust others, for fear that the people in the cave would take the benefits alone, so in the end he insisted that everyone enter the cave together.
"What the captain of the Sky Dome team said is right, I also feel that the terrain of this cave is getting steeper and steeper, if it goes on like this, I believe it will not take long to reach the Earth Fire Layer, and our destination, I think it should be above the Earth Fire Layer."
When Ruan Tianqiong's voice fell, another squad leader on the side hurriedly took over the conversation, slightly flattering.
Going deep into the cave until now, in fact, everyone's hearts are a little secretly drumming, because from the moment they enter the cave, they always have a sense of danger, as if danger is everywhere, right around them.
However, after walking so far, although the feeling of danger has not disappeared, the group of them is still safe and sound, and this situation is simply indescribably depressing.
Presumably, the reason why Luo Cheng complained was also to talk to everyone and relieve the tense atmosphere!
"You are all in good spirits, rest assured, no matter what benefits you get this time, everyone present will definitely have a share, as long as everyone understands the hard work of this seat."
With a slightly correct face, Luo Cheng's nervousness seemed to have been somewhat relieved at this moment, and then he promised to the people around him.
"Thank you, sir, we will definitely serve you wholeheartedly."
"Swear allegiance to your lordship.................."
After listening to Luo Cheng's promise, everyone was naturally grateful, as if they really wanted to shed their blood for Luo Cheng, but no one knew what they thought in their hearts.
"Is the temperature getting higher? It seems that we are really getting closer and closer to the Earthfire Layer, but I don't know what kind of relationship there is between our destination and the Earthfire Layer. ”
The group was still advancing slowly, but at this time, Ji Dong, who was at the end, suddenly frowned, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
After following the group into the cave, he still obediently disguised himself as a small person and acted under the arrangement of Luo Cheng and Ruan Tianqiong, but his spiritual power was always released around him, and he always perceived everything around him.
He also felt the faint sense of crisis that others felt, and because of this, he did not dare to act rashly.
However, although he didn't dare to act rashly, his strong mental power made him feel everything around him very clearly.
When he first entered the cave, the surroundings were still quite cold, but after going all the way in, he felt that the temperature around him was slowly becoming warmer, but the others had been worried about it, and it was impossible to feel this slight change.
But when he reached the current position, he could clearly feel that the temperature around him had risen significantly, and he thought that they were really close to the Earth Fire Layer at this time.
"It's really not simple, it seems that I have to be more careful, the world of the Apocalypse is full of crises, and my vision can't be limited to the few people in front of me."
All along, he followed Luo Cheng and his party with a detached attitude, thinking that he could control everything in his hands, but at this point, he knew that if he still felt that he could control everything, it would be really arrogant.
With a plan in his heart, his spiritual power couldn't help but secretly expand a little, and at the same time, while no one was paying attention, the space ring on his hand suddenly flashed, as if nothing had happened.
In this way, the group continued to go deeper, and as everyone went farther and farther, the temperature in the cave became hotter and hotter, and in the end, everyone could clearly feel the change in temperature, but the more so, the more cold everyone's hearts became.
Because everyone understands that if they can have such a hot temperature, it means that they are really not far from the earthfire layer.
Finally, after about two quarters of an hour or so, everyone was shocked to find that the cave where they were was had begun to brighten, but there was no longer any need for torches to guide the way.
Seeing this, everyone's faces became indescribably solemn, even Ji Dong was no exception.
"Knock knock, knock knock ............"
After walking for a distance, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the ears of the group, and when they heard this sound, Luo Cheng and several team leaders in the middle of the team were gloomy, and their steps couldn't help but slow down a lot.
However, no matter what, everyone has been gone for so long, but it is impossible to give up halfway.
Finally, turning a corner at a slightly narrow cave entrance, the group finally saw the scene at the end of the cave, but when the scene at the end appeared in front of them, everyone's eyes couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
