Chapter 116, Underground Courtyard
In the underground courtyard, Luo Tian and his party searched for a while, but they didn't find anything good, surrounded by some people who also chose this cave and entered the underground courtyard, guarding each other, and talking in a low voice in their own small team.
"I don't think there's anything good here, a place like this has been ruined, and there are very few treasures to be found. Yin Jiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered.
Luo Tian nodded, this place can be said to be a relatively peripheral place of the ancient ruins underground, judging from the situation at the scene, even if there were valuable treasures in this place, they have already been taken out, and all that can be seen are some broken jars and broken tiles.
"Who does this place belong to?" Yan Taichong asked strangely.
Blood Sakura threw away the fragments of tiles in her hand and said: "The ancient ruins of three thousand years ago, it's really hard to say, I heard that Tianhu Xuanlou was once a cave that belonged to an immortal official, and the treasures found here are all from this immortal official's family." ”
"Immortal official, what is that?" Yan Taichong asked stupidly.
Luo Tian shook his head slightly and said: "Big worm, you should really take a good look at the book if you have time, the Immortal Palace is said to have really appeared on this continent, and it is the dream of all monks to cultivate, it is said that the immortals are also divided into grades, and there is a difference between high and low positions, and the immortal official is the lowest position in the Immortal Palace, but even so, his cultivation should be above the fifth layer of the Human Dan Realm, judging from the things unearthed from this ancient ruin, this immortal official's family background is relatively solid, but his cultivation is not very high." ”
"Oh, then why is the Immortal Official's Cave Mansion underground?" Yan Taichong continued to ask.
"Three years ago, this cave should not be underground, but it may be due to some big changes, the cave sank into the ground, after the burial of time, it has become the current underground ruins, the general life of the immortal official will be longer than that of ordinary people, but three thousand years is still too long, it is estimated that it has died, so this cave has become a borderless land, and the treasure left by the immortal official has become wealth, but, after all, the cave is the home of the immortal official, and there must be a lot of internal organs, so every year the expedition will have a few people killed, like this expedition, all of which are risks and rewards, and the first person to make the first pot of gold, the people behind can only keep searching deeper into the ruins. ”
As soon as Luo Tian finished speaking, a few people in front of him suddenly shouted: "Found it, there is something here." ”
This shout attracted the attention of many people, Luo Tian and the others also looked over, and saw that a small team turned out something between the sand and stones, which was an ornament similar to Ruyi, of course, the quality was not very good, there were many cracks on it, and it was dim and should have lost its mana.
Even so, it can barely be regarded as a treasure, and the small team that dug it was overjoyed, this thing was put on the black market to sell, not to mention the origin of the most dozens of taels of silver, but if it was dug up from the underground ruins of Tianhu Xuanlou, the price might have to be doubled.
Many people have tried to study the affairs of the immortal clan from the things unearthed in the Tianhu Xuanlou, and even set up relevant departments in the great empire to excavate and develop the rumors of the immortal clan and the relics of the immortal clan on the mainland.
The main reason for doing this is that the former master of the Immortal Palace, the king of the immortal clan, has reached a jaw-dropping realm of dissolving void, who doesn't want to get this strength?
Luo Tian smiled coldly and said: "It's not a good thing, but it's always good to find something, I think we should continue to move forward, there is nothing worth exploring here." ”
After Luo Tian finished speaking, he was about to lead people to move on, and just after walking a few steps, the team that had discovered something behind suddenly let out a surprised shout.
"This thing seems to have a hidden mechanism, the upper part can be turned, you see, there is a spell on it. Luo Tian heard someone exclaim continuously.
Luo Tian felt that something was wrong, twenty years ago, Tianhu Xuanlou had been discovered, in the past twenty years, people have continued to enter here to explore, this courtyard has long been turned over, how can there be such a treasure hidden in the mechanism and no one will find it?
The more Luo Tian thought about it, the more wrong he became, and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Don't move it, it may be dangerous." ”
However, he still shouted too late, and a person in front of him had already turned the top of Ruyi, and Ruyi's mechanism was touched, and the whole body emitted a faint red light.
Seeing this scene, the people around him cheered excitedly: "Okay, what a treasure, we are going to get rich." ”
But Luo Tian felt that the light was full of danger, at this time, the man who was holding Ruyi suddenly felt a terrible heat coming from his hand, and then Ruyi became hotter and hotter, he couldn't help but shake his hand, and Ruyi fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?" The people next to him were afraid that the baby would break, so they scolded angrily.
The man was also innocent, muttering, "I don't want to, but this thing is too hot." ”
The Ruyi light that fell on the ground became stronger and stronger, and the light emitted swept through every corner of the courtyard, and then Luo Tian heard a strange sound in the corner.
"Click, click, click......"
Luo Tian turned around and shouted: "The situation is not right, we are all ready for battle, let's evacuate quickly." ”
After speaking, he and the three of them ran forward, the courtyard was larger, they ran for a long distance and were still within the courtyard, at this time, looking back, they couldn't see the people who found Ruyi before, but in just a moment, a scream exploded in the dark night, and sure enough, there was a problem, the Ruyi that these people found should not be a treasure, but a trigger switch for a certain mechanism or killing array.
"It's good to run out, ......" Yin Jiu took a breath, and just as he said a word, his back suddenly tightened, and he turned his head when he felt the danger, only to see a rickety figure walking slowly in the dark.
"Who is it?" Yin Jiu shouted.
The figure in the darkness suddenly let out a low scream: "Help...... Help ......"
In the next second, a guy who was covered in blood and half of his body was about to be torn apart stumbled in front of Luo Tian and the others.
"Isn't this person from the same team that found Ruyi before, why did he die?" Yin Jiuda said in surprise.
Blood Sakura quickly stepped forward to inspect the corpse, and then said: "He died after being torn apart by the terrifying power, this person's cultivation should be around the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, which means that the strength of the monster who started it is at least at the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and seeing that he was so desperate before he died, I am afraid that other people have also suffered from it, and the strength of this monster may be even higher." ”
As soon as Blood Sakura finished speaking, Yan Taichong pointed to the corpse and said, "Why does this person still hold the treasure when he is dying?"
The baby he said was naturally that Ruyi, and at the same time, there was a heavy footstep sound from the darkness in the distance, Luo Tian looked intently, and vaguely saw a huge figure walking towards here.
"What monster?" Luo Tian couldn't see it really, the light in front of him was really bad.
"It's a stone man with a red glow, bigger than me, estimated to be more than four meters tall, walking towards us. Surprisingly, Yan Taichong seemed to see it clearly.
"Big worm, can you see it?" Yin Jiu asked strangely.
Yan Taichong nodded and said, "Our barbarian night vision ability is very good, and seeing things at night is not much worse than during the day, hehe." ”
"Do you say it's a stone man, a desolate beast?" Luo Tian asked with a solemn face.
"It's not like an ordinary beast, it looks like it's made of stones, and it's coming towards us. Yan Taichong shook his head and said.
"It should be this Ruyi relationship, this person has been holding Ruyi before he died, Ruyi has been brought to us now, that monster must have run after Ruyi, what should I do?" After Blood Sakura finished speaking, everyone looked at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian lit a cigarette, thought about it and said: "The situation is unknown now, there are many enemies and agencies, we still have to save our strength, don't confront it head-on, let's go first." ”
It's not that he is afraid, the main thing is that Luo Tian considers the threat of Wei Cheng and Huanyunzi, if they fight here and get injured, they will suffer a big loss when they go to Huanyunzi, so Luo Tian chooses to avoid it and not fight.
However, I wanted to avoid trouble, but disaster came to my door.
As soon as they left, Ruyi released a strong red light again, and this time the red light turned into a huge red cover, enveloping Luo Tian and the others in it, and at the same time, the red light swept across the surrounding land, and the masonry began to rumble.
"Oh no, we're trapped by the enchantment that Ruyi unleashed. Luo Tian said with a frown.
