Chapter 163: Ancient Ruins
Qin Hua's sword was very sharp, and several fire rats that rushed to his side were easily killed by him, but after all, the fire rats were still four-grade demon beasts, and their fur was very tough.
After hearing the screams, the surrounding fire rats spotted Qin Hua and Guqinqin, two human monks, at a glance, and they quickly surrounded Qin Hua and the two with excited squeaks.
Qin Hua was shocked in his heart, he listened to the sound of fire rats and looked around, and found that there were no less than hundreds of fire rats around, and the leaves and grass in the distance were still shaking, obviously there were more fire rats rushing towards this side.
Qin Hua knew that their whereabouts had been completely exposed, and for the sake of now, the only way to do this was to quickly rush out of the canyon before the seven-rank demon beast groups on the peaks on both sides reacted, and only in this way could it be possible to get out of the crisis.
Qin Hua hurriedly used the Immortal Sword to cut several fire rats that flew towards them into two pieces, and then grabbed the guqin and flew into the air, and then quickly fled towards the outside of the valley.
"Roar"
"Roar"
...
Qin Hua and Gu Qinqin hadn't flown far yet, and there was a roar of high-level demon beasts from the peaks on both sides almost at the same time, and the two of them were so frightened that their scalps tingled for a while, and they accelerated their speed and flew forward again.
After the roar, Qin Hua glanced back from a distance, only to see two huge black shadows jumping down from the top of the towering mountain peak, and smashing heavily into the group of fire rats besieging them, and immediately smashed the ground out of two huge pits, and those fire rat groups were also smashed A large number of dead and injured, and the remaining fire rat groups that were still alive immediately fled in panic.
What made Qin Hua breathe a sigh of relief was that after these two huge black shadows fell into the valley, they didn't care about everything else, and actually fought each other together.
Seeing this, Qin Hua grabbed the guqin and fell to the ground, and then restrained his breath and fled forward cautiously and quickly.
The two of them ran for a long time, and the line of sight in front of them suddenly widened, and Qin Hua looked at the double hump behind him that was getting farther and farther away, and let out a long breath.
"Qin Hua, what do you think it is?" At this moment, Gu Qinqin suddenly pointed to a building on the right that looked like a palace, and said to Qin Hua's divine sense in surprise.
Qin Hua followed Guqinqin's fingers and looked over, and saw a very large palace complex, in the center of the palace group, there was a half-broken tower, which immediately aroused Qin Hua's curiosity, and he said to Guqinqin's divine sense: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
"Hmm," Guqin replied in a low voice.
The walls of the palace complex have all collapsed, and even some of the buildings on the periphery have collapsed in half, and only a few halls in the center of the palace are relatively intact.
I don't know what kind of material was used to build these palaces, Qin Hua picked up a broken brick and tile on the ground, weighed it, and then pinched it hard, and the brick was unharmed.
Guqinqin saw Qin Hua's movements, took out the Aoki sword and slashed hard at another remnant brick, only to see a burst of sparks, and the remnant brick turned into two halves and flew out.
Gu Qinqin was surprised and said to Qin Hua's divine sense: "Looking at this palace, I don't know how many years it has existed, and the remnant brick that makes up these palaces is still so hard, presumably this palace must have been a very great force at that time." ”
After Guqinqin finished speaking, he was about to step into the palace group inside the wall, Qin Hua saw that the ground inside the wall was full of the bones of demon beasts, and there were even many corpses of demon beasts that had just died and had not yet decomposed, he was shocked, and hurriedly dragged back the Guqin Qin, which had already taken half a step.
"Senior sister, be careful, you see that the skeletons of those demon beasts on the ground are different from old to new, and there are even many bones of seventh-grade demon beasts among them, there must be a huge danger in this palace that we can't resist. ”
After listening to Qin Hua's words, Gu Qinqin found the corpses and bones on the ground, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on her frightened body.
Qin Hua carefully observed the corpses on the ground, and found that the cause of death of those demon beasts was directly cut into several pieces by a sharp blade, he picked up a broken brick on the ground and threw it into the wall, and after the residual brick rolled on the ground, nothing unusual happened.
Qin Hua lowered his head and pondered for a while, then he picked up a small tree and threw it into the wall, but nothing happened.
Qin Hua was a little puzzled, he turned his head and looked behind, but he didn't find what he was looking for, so he said to Guqinqin: "Senior sister, you wait for me here, I'll come when I go, you must not break in recklessly alone." ”
Gu Qinqin glanced at Qin Hua with disdain, and said slightly angrily: "Am I so stupid in your eyes?
Qin Hua knew that he had said the wrong thing, he smiled at Guqin in embarrassment, and then turned around and flew behind him.
It didn't take long for Qin Hua to catch a live fire rat and return to Guqinqin's side.
Gu Qinqin was puzzled and asked, "Why are you catching fire rats?"
Qin Hua smiled mysteriously and said, "Senior sister, just look carefully." ”
After Qin Hua finished speaking, he threw the fire rat in his hand directly into the wall of the palace complex, Qin Hua and Guqin Qin only faintly saw that after a bright light flashed, the fire rat that Qin Hua threw into it was directly cut in half by something.
Qin Hua and Gu Qinqin were both stunned by this scene, and after a long time, Qin Hua said with some regret: "Senior sister, we can't enter this place at all, let's go!"
After Qin Hua finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, when Guqinqin suddenly grabbed him, pointed to a place that looked like a palace gate and said, "Qin Hua, you see there are footprints on the ground there!"
Qin Hua looked at the place where Guqin Qin's finger was, and sure enough, he saw a passage about three meters wide inside the wall, which looked like a corridor, with many footprints of old and new demon beasts, and there were no corpses of any demon beasts on it.
Qin Hua was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly came to the collapsed palace gate with Guqinqin, which was completely invisible.
Qin Hua looked at the footprints of those demon beasts, cautiously took a small tentative step towards the interior of the palace complex, and seeing that nothing had happened, Qin Hua was overjoyed and continued to take a step forward.
The guqin on the side was about to enter the palace complex like Qin Hua, Qin Hua pulled the guqin behind him and said, "You will follow my footprints behind me." ”
"Hmm" Guqinqin was moved for a while and whispered.
After entering the palace complex, Qin Hua inexplicably felt a feeling of panic, as if something important was about to be lost, he wanted to give up exploring this palace complex several times, but he was a little unwilling, and the guqinqin behind him was not willing to quit without any gain.
The further he went, the rarer the footprints of the demon beasts on the ground became, and the more intense Qin Hua's heart-pounding feeling became, until he walked in front of those relatively well-preserved halls in the depths of the palace complex, Qin Hua's feeling was slightly better.
Qin Hua tightly protected the guqin behind him and slowly entered a large hall, but except for some rotten tables and chairs, all that remained in the hall was thick dust.
Qin Hua didn't feel disappointed by this, he took the guqin and continued to walk towards the next hall, but it was still the same as the first hall, nothing.
Immediately after the third, the fourth... It wasn't until Qin Hua and the others explored all the buildings that were still intact that they still found nothing, which made Qin Hua and Guqinqin inevitably feel a sense of loss.
After walking out of the last building, Qin Hua stood in a corridor and looked at the broken tower that stood quietly in the middle, and he didn't have any hope in his heart, but he had already come here, and if he didn't take a look, he felt very unwilling.
At the very center of the complex is a square with a radius of several hundred meters, and the half-tall tower is in the very center of the square.
Qin Hua stood at the edge of the square and looked at the floor inside the square, and felt a burst of surprise when he saw the dense and complex formations carved on the floor.
Because I don't know how many tens of thousands of years no one has been here, but the formation pattern on this square is still flashing with a hazy white light, which shows that the big array in this square has been running since ancient times, no wonder there are so many corpses in those places on the periphery, and nine out of ten are caused by this big array that is still running.
Qin Hua didn't dare to rashly step into the teleportation array, picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it on the square, only to see that the small stone had just touched the square, and it was swept by a faint light, and after a puff of green smoke, the small stone didn't even have a slag left.
When Qin Hua and Gu Qinqin saw this scene, their faces turned pale at the same time.
The two of them glanced at the remnant tower in the center of the entire square, and then carefully circled around the edge of the entire square, and finally found a winding path in the direction of due east that could only be passed by one person.
Qin Hua still protected the guqin behind him, and tentatively walked towards the winding path.
After walking for a distance, Qin Hua probably understood that as long as they didn't have a hole in their heads and walked out of the trail on their own, there was basically no danger.
After a short time, Qin Hua took the guqin qin to the outer corridor under the tower, the corridor was very clean and tidy, there was not even a trace of dust, a weed, or even a small piece of moss.
Qin Hua was a little surprised, so he walked around the corridor, but what made him feel even more strange was that they didn't see the upper half of the tower that had been broken.
"Senior sister, where did you say the upper half of the tower went? When we were just exploring the surrounding buildings, we didn't see the upper half of the tower. ”
Gu Qinqin thought for a while and said, "Maybe the upper half of the tower fell to the square, and it was turned into ashes by the powerful formation on the square. ”
Qin Hua thought about it and felt that what Guqin Qin said was also very reasonable, but he didn't know why, he always felt that there were some impossibilities, and it felt very weird.
