"This is indeed an ancient ruin, as for whether there is a treasure or not, it is unknown for the time being...... If I, the Hengtian King, can obtain valuable treasures here, and in the future, with the power of the treasures, I will kill the Puppet Sect's sect master, who has always suppressed this king, and make my Hengtian Sect the true king of the extreme west of this divine domain, what I promised you, this king will definitely do it for you. ”

After exploring and determining that the place in front of him was really an ancient ruin, Lai Jizong, the king of Hengtian, immediately replied to the mermaid clan creatures with great excitement.

"Thank you. The mermaid creature replied with a smile, "Originally, in the hands of my mermaid king, there was a treasure map, but I didn't know that the place where the treasure map was drawn was here. When the king was alive, I had the privilege of seeing the king's treasure map, and I helped him analyze the details of the treasure map, but I still did not know where the treasure map was drawn...... It is purely accidental to be able to find here, and this is also the business of you, King Hengtian. ”

"So, do you know how to enter the underground palace buried deep underneath?" Lai Jizong asked excitedly.

"Probably a little impressed. The merfolk creature nodded.

"In that case, then you can show us the way...... This saves us the trouble of figuring out on our own. Lai Jizong said with a smile.

"Okay, follow me. The merfolk creature responded, and then set off first, rushing to the entrance to the deep underground palace.

The entrance to the underground palace is located on the southern edge of the southeast part of the old ruins land, and this Luo Xiaoyan knows it.

Seeing that the mermaid creatures led a group of Hengtian Sect people directly to the entrance of the underground palace, Luo Xiaoyan, who was weak and weak, although he felt a little anxious, he did not intend to give up, and chose to sneak around and follow them quietly from a distance, planning to use them as a pathfinder to avoid himself from scurrying around after entering the underground palace, touching powerful mechanisms, and causing himself to be in danger.

These creatures of Hengtian Sect, as well as the creatures of the mermaid clan, are all masters who have reached the saint-level level, and it is naturally not a difficult thing to rush on the ruins where there is no danger and no obstacles.

Therefore, it didn't take them long to reach the location of the entrance to the underground palace.

After arriving, the mermaid creatures were about to cast a spell to sweep away the debris that covered the entrance to the dungeon, but Lai Jizong hurriedly stopped: "Wait, it seems that someone has moved here, and the layer of covering on this has traces of being touched recently, wait for this seat to explore and probe, and see if you can get some clues." Even if you enter the dungeon and don't gain anything, you can still use this clue to find the guy who entered the dungeon one step ahead of us. ”

As soon as they heard Lai Jizong's words, the mermaid creatures immediately felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly told Lai Jizong and the others about their previous intention to enter the underground palace alone to hunt for treasures.

When everyone heard this, they were full of doubts, and some even suspected that this so-called treasure of the underground palace was created by the mermaid creatures, hoping to tempt them to form an alliance with it and help it get what it wanted.

Seeing everyone looking at them with puzzled eyes, the mermaid clan panicked, and hurriedly explained again: "Don't get me wrong, I did have the intention of entering the dungeon to hunt for treasures, but due to my limited strength, I couldn't even open the first door of the dungeon. Therefore, in the last resort, I chose to dedicate this secret to your sect, hoping to exchange for your cooperation. I'm telling the truth, and trust me. ”

"Okay, I'll believe you for once. If after entering the dungeon, we find that there are traces of recent human movement inside, then don't blame us for turning our faces ruthlessly. Lai Jizong said with a gloomy face.

"Don't worry, after entering the dungeon, you will understand that I am not lying. The merfolk creature responded helplessly.

Then, the merfolk creatures couldn't wait to cast a spell, moving themselves above the entrance of the dungeon and rolling away the rubble, rotten bricks, mud and other objects that covered it.

As a result, a circular portal into the underground palace appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This is not so much a portal as it is a mysterious formation gate with the ability to teleport, which can be successfully opened with just the right amount of power, or the power released by an object.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of portal is extremely strong and closely connected to the self-destruction formation of the dungeon, and if you want to forcibly destroy it, it is no different from destroying the dungeon.

Once the power is strong enough to destroy the portal, the self-destruction formation will also work, as long as the portal is completely destroyed, the self-destruction formation will be activated instantly, releasing terrifying power, destroying the entire underground palace, making the enemy's efforts fall short, and even borrowing the power of the self-destruction formation to pull the enemy's back.

In this related information, Lai Jizong, who has entered countless treasure hunts in the ancient underground palace and obtained many valuable treasures, naturally knows better than anyone else in his heart.

Therefore, after seeing the portal of the underground palace in front of him, Lai Jizong's brows suddenly wrinkled, and an extremely helpless expression appeared on his face.

This is because what he hates to do the most is to open this type of dungeon portal.

He still clearly remembered the incident 1,300 years ago, which he would never forget, and when he thought of that treasure hunt in the underground palace, he felt extremely annoyed.

The reason for this was that it took him thirteen years of careful research to open the door of the underground palace, only to find that it was only a very small underground palace, and the items in it were basically of little use to him.

Later, after searching all over the underground palace, through the analysis of the information obtained and the objects left, Lai Jizong knew that this was a test product made by a craftsman who had a very strong interest in the construction of the underground palace.

After getting the final result, Lai Jizong was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

"Sect Master, what's wrong?Why is your face so ugly?" A subordinate of a demon clan creature hurriedly asked Lai Jizong when he saw that his face was abnormal.

Of course, this demon clan's subordinates naturally don't know what Lai Jizong has experienced, and Lai Jizong will not tell others about the embarrassment he has encountered, so as not to make others laugh at him.

After listening to the questions of his subordinates, Lai Jizong shook his head slightly and said: "It's nothing, as far as this seat knows, this kind of underground palace portal is the most difficult to open, and it can't be opened by brute force...... If you are not careful, you may also be attacked by the self-destruction formation of the underground palace, which will lead to accidents. ”

"Not to mention, we can't enter the dungeon?" the demon creature asked.

"There is a way, but it takes some time to slowly study this door of the underground palace, and then find a way to open the door. Lai Jizong shook his head and sighed, "It takes the longest time to study the gate of the underground palace, which can be as short as a few months, and as long as it may reach ten years, or even a hundred years...... And that's why I frowned just now and my face didn't look very good......"

"It's so troublesome...... So what are we going to do next?" said the demon creature.

"Let's study this portal together for three or five days to see the situation, if you can't even touch the doorway for three or five days, the time it will take will definitely not be short, and then decide how to do it." Lai Jizong said.
