Chapter 200: Hidden Treasure
In an environment like purgatory, he ran wildly all the way to ride the wind and waves, and after ten minutes, Zhang Longchu, who had already felt a little tired, suddenly felt that his body was slipping as if he had penetrated a layer of foam.
After that, the surrounding fire, rain, storm, and whirlpool torrent disappeared in an instant, except for the clear sound of microwaves lapping on the sand shore in the distance, and the sea and sky were calm.
Knowing that he had crossed the dimensional passage, he breathed a long sigh of relief and summoned a hurricane out of thin air, sweeping his massive body into a demon wolf into the air and flying towards the distant coast.
And at the same time that Zhang Longchu left the earth and entered the Taiji plane, in the air of the Incheon Sea of the earth, the rain of fire falling from the swirling layers of spiraling red clouds slowly stopped.
At the same time, a pitch-black round hole was born in the center of the swirl, slowly expanding, one meter, two meters, three meters... Ten meters, twenty meters... A few minutes later, when the black hole had expanded to more than a kilometer in diameter, it suddenly came to a standstill.
After that, hundreds of demonic beasts of different shapes surrounded a long and limb-like centipede, writhing in the air, circling and flying warships, as if they wanted to get out of the black hole and fly into the earth, constantly stealing their bodies at the entrance of the cave.
Fortunately, the black hole is like an invisible cover, preventing these terrible creatures and spaceships from invading the earth, but under their perseverance and desperate impact, there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, scarred and forced out of the round hole.
But before those intruders could stretch their bodies, dozens of sea-to-air missiles rushed out of the bottom of the sea, and immediately after, queues of Earth fighters and aviation spaceships continued to converge from all directions to the place shrouded in red clouds, and a great war began.
At this time, Zhang Longchu had already landed on the coast of the Taiji plane and began to look for land that matched the terrain depicted in the treasure map left by the 'group army' Paul.
The reason why he came to the Taiji plane quietly on the impromptu basis was because the danger of the sea covered by red clouds far exceeded Zhang Longchu's previous estimate, which made him retreat in his heart;
The second is that suddenly, because of an unexpected gain, he has almost completed the most difficult condition for the growth of strange things, soul collection, and now as long as he finds the spiritual object that Paul hides in the Tai Chi plane, he can easily expand the 'world' again, and at the same time increase his transcendent level, he can't help but be moved.
Cruising in the air and observing carefully for several hours, Zhang Longchu finally found that a canyon in the southwest seemed to be very similar to the terrain drawn on the treasure map, and he was dissatisfied, "Since it has been said that it is a gift, the difficulty of obtaining it should be minimized, and it is better to open the gift box directly under the Christmas tree as it did on the second day of Christmas Eve."
How can there be a reason to hide the gift in such a secret place and deliberately let the recipient find it.
In vain, I used to think of Paul as an idol, but I really didn't expect him to be not only insidious and cunning, but also liked to coerce others, and even did it so reluctantly, since they had already decided to ask for material temptation, but they didn't do it beautifully, it was really hateful...", the wind glided and descended, and after a while landed in the valley.
After looking around carefully, looking at the light yellow rocks in the middle of the cliff, and recalling that there were two faint yellow lines drawn in the valley depicted on the treasure map, he knew that he should have found the right place, and his impatient mood instantly improved, and even the pace of progress could not help but be a little easier.
After walking in the canyon for a while, he found that the rock walls on the left and right sides were getting narrower and narrower, and he was slowly unable to accommodate his huge body after transforming into a demon wolf.
The topography of the valley suddenly opened up here, revealing a miniature flat plain covered with rock at the top, leaving only a thin line of moonlight and hollow at the bottom.
The area of this plain is about 10 square kilometers, and there is a hot spring lake close to the rock wall on the west side, because of the geothermal relationship, the steam rises, and the water mist emitted is scattered and elegant, so that Zhang Longchu, who is standing hundreds of meters away, feels a heavy humidity and comes to his nose.
"This must be the pool on Paul's map..."Breathing in the air with a slight smell of sulfur, recalling the treasure map in his mind, he silently thought in his heart, with the help of that faint ray of moonlight, he walked to the lake, touched the temperature of the water, felt that he could endure it without transformation, and jumped into the water.
After that, I saw Zhang Longchu holding a strange backpack floating on the water, fluttering his feet across the lake, swimming to the mountain wall, looking for a while against the rock wall, and soon found a pitch-black cave that was only two fingers higher than the lake surface and less than 1 meter in diameter.
After searching for a while, he found that there was only this cave on the rock wall in front of him, and he bent down to get into it, and moved his body a little bit.
A few hours passed quickly, and if it weren't for the physique of an F-level physical quality that was comprehensively strengthened by transcendentals, I am afraid that Zhang Longchu, who had already fainted, had finally come to the end of the tunnel.
In the completely dull hole, rubbing a round stone ball at the end that obviously had traces of artificial polishing, he took a deep breath of dirty air, and hit his shoulder with all his strength, and instantly felt that half of his body was numb, but the stone ball did not even tremble slightly.
"Such a strong obstacle, if I don't change my body, I'm afraid I won't be able to remove the fracture if I hit it..."Rubbing his aching arm, Zhang Longchu frowned, thinking silently in his heart.
After that, he hung the strange object backpack around his neck, took a few steps back, and his mind swirled as his body expanded, red and yellow hairs grew from the pores around his body, and his mouth and nose elongated into the appearance of a giant bear.
And as his body swelled and filled the entire cave, the rock walls on all sides melted rapidly like candles that met flames and turned into magma, overflowing in all directions, and in a short time the temperature at the end of the tunnel rose to the point where normal creatures could not survive at all.
At this point, the boulder that could not be shaken not long ago has become unbearable in front of Zhang Longchu, only to see it 'roar' roar, two fat beast claws slapped in the magma, and a stream of molten lava sprayed from the bottom up instantly wrapped the cobblestone a few meters away, and after a while, it melted and disappeared.
After the boulder disappears, the end of the cavern is filled with the smell of mildew and decay, revealing a huge underground city that has long been deserted and abandoned by history.
Judging from the architectural style, this ruin should be the handiwork of the ancestors of the White Demon Man, and the scale is at least 10 times larger than the dungeon that Zhang Longchu inadvertently destroyed when he came to the Taiji plane last time he explored.
From the farmland between the cities, most of the crops that gradually withered have been weathered to ashes after the magic stones are exhausted and can no longer get light, but a very small number of them have turned into charcoal-like substances, so it is estimated that their survival time should be at least 1,000 years.
"Isn't it quite decent, in order to hide the rationality of the hidden treasure, I even found such a city ruins of a white devil as a package..."Rushing from the underground cave into the underground city, Zhang Longchu turned back into a human form, looked around, and thought with a shock in his heart, even if he was still full of dissatisfaction as a subconscious Paul, he had to admit his carefulness.
And Paul's hand-drawn and old treasure map has come to an end here, and the last step must be found by Zhang Longchu himself.
So, after a few seconds of emotion, he came back to his senses, took a small portable searchlight from his curiosity backpack, turned it on, and began to spin along the streets of the dungeon.
Passing by houses on the ground with the corpses of fallen white devils;
The grand and tall city hall with the image of officials mediating disputes painted on the stone gate, and the luxury merchant shops with golden decorations when you look through the window... Zhang Longchu didn't even roll his eyelids, and walked over directly, until he came to a temple with carved beams and paintings on the edge of the city, and finally stopped.
"Since Paul was so careful and cautious, he naturally placed the spirit in the place where it should be—" muttered to himself, and he strode into the temple, through a courtyard of withered flowers and plants, to the only temple hall.
Later, because the flowers in the courtyard of the temple that had not been reduced to ashes, although withered but still maintained their basic shape, Zhang Longchu, who had already concluded that the spiritual objects that could cause all kinds of unknown effects should be close at hand, carefully shook the searchlight and searched for it in the temple.
The temple was small but exquisitely built, and the walls, floors, and ceilings were carved with lifelike reliefs of human figures and all kinds of beautiful scenery of the kingdom of God, so he first focused on the statues, but unfortunately it took hours to rub all the sculptures little by little, and the final result was nothing.
In desperation, Zhang Longchu came to the altar again, and inspected the metal artifacts on the stone platform that were exquisitely shaped, some knew the purpose, and the unknown use was checked one by one, but unfortunately there was no sign of divine power fluctuations.
At this time, Zhang Longchu, who only had the statue left without inspection, had changed from full of confidence to a nervous mood, he walked to the statue that was 3 times larger than his own body, stretched out his hand and touched it, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he thought depressedly: "Didn't Paul put the spirit object in the temple, it would be difficult to find...", his eyes followed the light provided by the spotlight across the huge statue in front of him, and suddenly found that the cloth towel tied to the neck of the statue was not a carved thing, but a real thing.
Everything in the whole dungeon had an antique feel to it, but the cloth towel was so shiny that it looked like it had just been cut. (To be continued.) )
