"There is no record of the origin of the Lone Star Cave, and the oldest object we found in the cave seems to be only a hundred years old. Objectively speaking, the Lone Star Cave is just a natural cave under the yellow sand in the desert, but because it is engraved with the word Lone Star, we call it the Lone Star Cave. ”

"According to my elders, the Lone Star Cave was originally just a big family, but then it slowly began to accept some people who were lost in the desert, and then gradually developed. Now, there are nearly two hundred people in the Lone Star Cave. ”

After the Lone Star Cave Master finished speaking, he looked at Ding Qin, as if waiting for Ding Qin's reaction. Ding Qin simply nodded, "It seems that it is a place where the so-called masters really gather." ”

Feng Lei also responded, "That's right. I really didn't expect that there would be such a hidden paradise. ”

The Lone Star Cave Lord said, "You think it's a paradise, just because you don't know the troubles in it. Forget it, let's find the exit first. ”

Neither Ding Qin nor Feng Lei objected. The group slowly marched forward according to the formation arranged by the Lone Star Cave Master before.

However, as time went on, the light of the torch in their hands also diminished. Feng Lei gave the order in time, and the torches carried by the soldiers also came in handy.

After nearly two miles, the road ahead began to widen, but the top floor was still closed. After walking another four or five hundred steps, a hall appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The whole hall is thirty meters square, connected by a staircase to the passage where the people just now, and the bottom is more than a person high from the foot. On the floor of the hall, hundreds of stone statues are neatly placed, each with different movements, but it looks solemn and abnormal.

In the middle of the hall, there is a stone platform. Everyone walked down cautiously, but they were surprised to find that it was actually a sarcophagus.

"So this is a grave?" Ding Qin muttered to himself, "Well, it's right to think about it." Looking at the scale of this tomb, the owner of the tomb should not be an ordinary person, and only this kind of person can have a large amount of Nine Heavens Xuaniron to use for the tomb. It's just that those surface layers of Nine Heavens Dark Iron have been eroded by wind and sand for a long time, and then they have broken into pieces and fallen on the surface. ”

Regarding Ding Qin's inference, Bone Soul also agreed. Feng Lei began to walk slowly along the route around the sarcophagus to rule out possible risks.

The Lone Star Cave Master walked up to the sarcophagus and touched the lid with his hand. There is not the slightest trace of dust on the sarcophagus, which also has to be amazing.

The bone soul said in Ding Qin's sea of knowledge, "This tomb is exquisitely designed. It not only has a self-purifying function, but also can absorb the intruder's spiritual power through the formation to prevent theft. Such a tomb can only be built by a person of a very high status. ”

Before Ding Qin could respond, he listened to the master of the Lone Star Cave, "Do you know who will build a tomb under this oasis?"

Feng Lei shook his head. Ding Qin replied according to the hint of the bone soul, "Perhaps, it is not that the tomb was built under the oasis, but that this was originally a tomb, and the spring water in it was originally used to supply water to this tomb. Later, after several geological changes, part of the structure of the tomb was destroyed, and the spring water flowed out, raising an oasis. And those mechanisms in the oasis may have been the same as those in this tomb. ”

After hearing this, the Lone Star Cave Lord nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense. However, since it is a tomb, it cannot escape the general law. In any tomb, there will be a living door. We have just followed the air flow to get here, which means that the birth gate should be near. ”

Ding Qin didn't know anything about the structure of the tomb, so he didn't say anything. Feng Lei replied, "That's right, there must be a living door in the tomb." But now, our wounded have caused too much attrition, and the soldiers need to rest. If the cave master doesn't mind, can you explore it so that my people can have a respite. ”

The Lone Star Cave said, "It's okay. The birth gate should be very close, and you can rest on the spot here. After saying that, she waved her hand, and the people who came with her immediately began to move separately.

However, the process of operation was not smooth. Not long after, a man accidentally touched the mechanism, and his foot was pierced by an iron nail, and the blood flowed profusely.

The Lone Star Cave Master's handling of the wounded was as quick as ever. Moments later, the wounded were brought to Feng Lei's side and rested with the soldiers.

Ding Qin didn't step forward, he stood in place and observed a series of movements of the Lone Star Cave Master. Every step she takes seems to have a rhythm, and the route she takes is different from that of ordinary people, as if she is avoiding something.

She could roughly discern the hidden formation in the tomb. Bone Soul Dao, "Avoiding the sharp edge of the formation operation, she can feel more of what is inside." In this way, it is more beneficial to find a place to live. ”

That being said, the progress of the Lone Star Cave Master is not so ideal. After an hour or so, she walked back to Ding Qin with a lot of worry in her eyes.

Ding Qin took the initiative to ask her, "How is it?"

The Lone Star Cave Lord shook his head with a little disappointment, "The Shengmen has been found, but we can't get through. ”

Ding Qin was puzzled, "Why?"

The Lone Star Cave said, "The Shengmen is under the sarcophagus. The sarcophagus itself is one with the boulder at the bottom of the entire cave. It is a sarcophagus carved out of it. In other words, when the tomb was designed, it was not intended for people to use the living gate as an exit. Whoever comes in will not be able to get out alive. ”

When Ding Qin heard this, he was also a little involuntarily disappointed. However, he then asked, "So, where does the air flow come from? If there is an air flow, it means that there should be an entrance and exit." ”

The Lone Star Cave said, "This is not actually a natural air flow, but a self-purifying air flow from the tomb. Under the effect of the tomb formation, the air forms a natural flow, but in reality, it is a flow in an enclosed space. ”

"There is no exit, and we have no spiritual power, so it is really difficult to get out of here. Who made such a tomb?" Ding Qin said as he walked to the sarcophagus and found that the sarcophagus lid was tightly fitted with the wall, and there was no gap.

"We can't get out. The Lone Star Cave Master's tone was filled with loss, "Probably, we can only die here." ”

"Not necessarily. Ding Qin didn't look back, but touched the sarcophagus with one hand. There was a very warm feeling coming from the sarcophagus, which was the opposite of the coldness of the stone wall.

He said not necessarily, not that he thought it was not. In Ding Qin's heart, as the Lone Star Cave Master thought, he might be going to die here. But the bone soul gives another possibility. Ding Qin felt that what he said made sense, so he said so.

Sure enough, his words lifted everyone's spirits. Tonight, Ding Qin has said too many incredible things, and now he is saying this, which undoubtedly makes people's hearts rise again.

Feng Lei was the most urgent, "Let's hear it." ”

Ding Qin said, "The operation of the formation is not infinite. It has three conditions, one is the complete formation pattern system, the other is the environment that supports the operation of the formation, and the third is the energy source of the formation. Here, the formation pattern system may be hidden behind the rocks and we can't see it. And the environment is this closed environment. Well, that's the third. ”

He paused here and looked at the crowd, "We all know that after we came in, the spiritual power was sucked away. -* The spiritual power that is sucked away may be used as an energy source for the formation to run, but it will definitely not be all. Because, for so many years, we have rarely heard of someone missing in Longkou Oasis. ”

He took a deep breath, "Then, the source of energy for this formation should be something else. ”

Hearing this, the Lone Star Cave Master said, "What you said makes sense. However, there are many kinds of things that can provide a lasting source of energy for the formation. I deliberately went looking for it just now, but I didn't find anything special. ”

Ding Qin smiled, "It may be that the cave master thinks that the things that can provide energy should be small and delicate." However, it is estimated that the cave master would not have thought of it,"

He patted the sarcophagus, "This sarcophagus, and even the whole boulder below that is connected to it, is the source of this energy. ”

Ding Qin seemed to be afraid that people would not understand, and continued, "The whole cave is mainly cool. The stone of this sarcophagus is not only warm to the touch, but also warm. To be able to assimilate the coolness of the whole cave requires that this stone contain a lot of energy. ”

After he said this, the Lone Star Cave Master also quickly stepped forward and touched the sarcophagus with his hand. After that, her eyes flashed with surprise, and her tone was a little excited, "Sure enough, sure enough, sure enough, ......"

But soon, her tone flattened again. "But even if we find a source of energy, what's the use? We don't know exactly how this formation system works. ”

Ding Qin smiled slightly, "Among us, one person who knows is enough." ”

He said that a person naturally refers to the bone soul.

In the process of Ding Qin's observation of the sarcophagus, the bone soul not only judged that the sarcophagus was a source of energy, but also analyzed the texture on the surface of the sarcophagus. Judging by the bone soul, the lines on the surface of the sarcophagus are not ordinary lines, but a special formation that stabilizes the energy in the entire boulder and slowly releases it steadily.

If you can find the eye of this formation and paralyze the formation, the formation in the tomb will lose the energy continuously provided by the boulder. After a little longer, the energy stored in the formation will be exhausted, and the formation will naturally stop.

At that time, the absorption of spiritual power by the formation will stop. After the spiritual power in the natural environment seeps into the ancient tomb, the spiritual power of everyone can slowly recover.

And this is precisely the premise for everyone to get out of trouble and leave!

The Lone Star Cave Master's eyes began to flicker with excitement again, "You mean, you know?"

Ding Qin nodded, "Yes, I know." I'm not entirely sure, but at least I think there's hope. ”

"What are you going to do? I'll help you. The Lone Star Cave Master actually put down the shelf uncharacteristically, and there was actually a little more tenderness in his tone.
