After standing for a moment, Li Ding suddenly pushed with his left hand, and a thunderball came out of his hand. Seeing that the thunderball was approaching the surface of the water, it suddenly froze two feet away from the surface of the water, and disappeared in an instant, without even a slight popping sound.

Li Ding's eyes froze, his right hand pushed again, and another Yuan Balloon shot, this time faster, but the thunder fire he expected did not appear, and the mixed Yuan Balloon did not have time to explode, and it also turned into black gas and disappeared in an instant.

"What kind of power is that, is it more powerful than thunder fire? ”

Li Ding's self-created martial arts didn't even touch the edge, and the two attacks were ineffective, which seemed to stimulate him, only to see a sudden flash of lightning in his eyes, and his body was quickly wrapped in thunder fire, and then all the thunder and fire gathered into his palms, and his palms turned into claws, and he worked hard to press it into thunder.

The dazzling flame thunder arced and jumped, and from time to time a beam of blue-purple flames flashed.

Li Ding was engrossed and didn't dare to be distracted at all, but even so, he still couldn't control the changes inside Yan Lei, and before he could compress it to the extreme, he had to throw it out immediately.

"Boom ......"

There was a muffled sound, the thunder burst, and a strong wind blew towards Li Ding, but Li Ding's face was gloomy and there was no trace of excitement.

Because Yan Lei was only close to the surface of the black water, it only burst before it completely disappeared, and the power of the explosion was pitiful, less than what Li Ding expected.

Li Ding gritted his teeth, looked at the thick black water as thick as ink, and was helpless for a while, and sat on the ground.

Closing his eyes, Li Ding's mood slowly calmed down as time passed.

In the meantime, he thought a lot.

He believes. The blue shark shouldn't lie in that situation, since Dugu Weiyang can get out from here. There must be a way to get through this black water, but what is this way? He had to find out.

For a while, Li Ding began to investigate up and down, hoping to find some clues from the stairs and cliffs. But a cliff is a cliff, and there is nothing unusual except coldness.

However, Li Ding was able to figure out the patterns carved on the stone bricks. The patterns are actually some graphics, depicting different flowers and beasts, and the lines are seemingly simple but very vivid, giving people a vivid feeling.

There are a total of 12 types of graphics and 6 types of beasts. Six kinds of flowers, Li Ding could easily identify one of the beasts, which looked like bats.

However, this kind of decorative stone bricks have been seen a lot in the various halls of Jinguangmen, and after checking that there is nothing unusual, Li Ding no longer pays too much attention.

After being busy for a while, nothing was found, but Li Ding did not give up, and sat down again to look at the black water and fell into deep thought.

After a while, two puffs of black smoke suddenly appeared on the surface of the calm black water, and then it was like boiling water. Instantly boiled.

Li Ding hurriedly got up and retreated sharply, but saw that the surging black water was constantly swirling, forming a whirlpool. The vortices collided and merged rapidly, and a red halo overflowed at the edges.

Li Ding's eyes widened, and he felt as if a powerful aura was about to rush out of those whirlpools. But the next moment all the vortices suddenly stopped, as if time had stopped. There was a mysterious power that instantly suppressed that aura at this moment.

But immediately after that, the halo at the edge of the vortex suddenly became stronger, and then a brilliant red light burst out from the vortex. Shoot straight to the top.

The red light was dazzling, Li Ding's face suddenly tightened, and he became stunned, the black water surface actually showed a transparent state when the red light penetrated, and he could see the scene below clearly at a glance.

It was a city, an abandoned city, littered with collapsed buildings, and all the buildings collapsed in almost one direction, as if some force had destroyed them in an instant.

But before Li Ding could see the details, the red light disappeared, and the black water instantly returned to its original state, immediately blocking his vision.

Strangely, the whirlpools were just there, and after a while they spun again, slowly returning to their original shape.

Li Ding exhaled a long breath, and his eyes became firm.

At the moment when the black water returned to its original state just now, the soul power he inadvertently cast happened to touch the surface of the water, but the black water did not have any effect on his soul power.

This unexpected discovery made Li Ding excited. How could there be a city underwater, he felt that the clue he was looking for was probably down there.

Calm down, Li Ding knows that what he needs most now is calm, it seems that this black water is not unbreakable.

It's just that the method seems to be very mysterious.

Li Dingpan sat down, staring at the surface of the water, his soul power extended little by little, and just as he was about to approach the water, the edge of his soul power rippled with those floating black gases.

This feeling is very wonderful, like sitting on a small boat on the sea, very pleasant, which also makes Li Ding bold.

He tentatively let his soul power go deeper, and when his soul power really touched the black water, he suddenly found that the extended horizon had changed somewhat.

Take a step back, the black water is in front of you, you can't see anything, but further, the black water is gone.

The city was not underwater, and in the dim light, the ruined city suddenly came into his field of vision.

Li Ding remembered that before arriving here, he also used his soul power to scan it, but he didn't find anything abnormal at that time, so he didn't test it with his soul power for the first time.

In one step, the soul power unexpectedly penetrated the black water and reached below. It was a forbidden power like an enchantment, a mysterious power that he couldn't understand at the moment.

Now that he had come, Li Ding's soul power immediately wandered, and his consciousness wandered with it, and his eyes slowly approached the ruins of the city below.

Looking down from a high vantage point, Li Ding saw that it was an oval-shaped canyon abyss, and the city stretched from this end along the edge of the abyss, and the rock wall was like a natural city wall, enclosing it.

A huge city hidden in the abyss occupies almost the entire abyss, but because the area is too large, what Li Ding sees is actually only a corner of the city, and he can't get a full picture. But in this corner, you can already imagine how prosperous the city was back then.

But now the city is shrouded in darkness, dilapidated and withered. It was lifeless, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

Incredible boundaries. Such a city, when did it appear. And how did it appear, and for what reason, and by what force destroyed it.

Li Ding was surprised and shocked, but he couldn't see any clues.

Li Ding's soul power continued to extend, and his gaze approached the front of a three-story pavilion that had not completely collapsed.

Although the surrounding buildings are badly damaged except for this pavilion, it is still evident that it was once a huge manor. The pavilions and pavilions in the park, the bridges, pools, corridors, and pavilions are all insufficient.

Coupled with the luxurious style of the pavilion and the eaves and walls, the carved beams and painted buildings, there must have been a prosperous person here, and the owner who lived here was not a prominent person, but also a rich party.

It's just that all this has gone in the past, and now there are no people here, only broken bricks and tiles. Dead wood and dead grass, lifeless.

Seeing this, Li Ding suddenly thought of a question, such a huge city. The population must be a staggering number. The city was destroyed, but where did the people in the city go? At least until now, he hadn't seen a single skeleton.

A thought of the bones, for a moment. Li Ding naturally thought of the strange phenomenon in the mist above his head, and his heart couldn't help but feel a chill.

Sudden mood changes. Li Ding's gaze flickered for a while, and he realized that he was now using his soul power to extend his horizon infinitely. His body was still on the black gas.

The priority now is not to look at these ruins, but to quickly look for any clues.

Thinking of this, Li Ding's gaze moved forward, and he quickly discovered something unusual.

It was a huge stone pillar that required five or six people to hug, about three feet high, towering in the middle of a ruin, the stone pillar was dark throughout, and the material was somewhat similar to the rock in the beast god's fantasy realm.

What is special is that the stone pillar is rough all around, but the top is extremely bright, like a black mirror, reflecting a strange cold light.

During his gaze, Li Ding found that there seemed to be something under the light, and when he looked closely, it looked like a chaotic and vague figure, like the kind he had seen on the stone bricks that built the stairs.

Puzzled for a moment, Li Ding was about to withdraw his gaze, but suddenly found that his gaze seemed to be drawn by the figure and could not move.

It's like the figure has some kind of mysterious power that binds his soul power at once, which has never happened before.

Li Ding panicked for a while, and his eyes rippled like water waves, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free, but instead caused bursts of pain from the depths of his consciousness, which was the result of overuse of soul power.

However, the pain made Li Ding calm down instantly, and when he looked at the figure again, he saw that the ripples on the black mirror had faded, and the originally vague figure had become clearer.

The graphic is a kind of flower, the lines are simple, but the shape is smooth and beautiful. Although Li Ding didn't know how to draw, he could see that the figure was not finished, and some lines were still blurred.

"It's ......"

Li Ding was puzzled, and the edge of his soul power was ashamed to approach the mirror and swiped lightly, and the mirror immediately opened a series of small ripples, and the line below immediately became much clearer.

This shocked Li Ding's heart, and he tried to condense his soul power in one place, slowly scribbling along a line, and circles of tiny ripples overlapped, and then immediately dispersed and disappeared, and the graphics below became clearer and clearer, three-dimensional and vivid.

And Li Ding even found that the power that bound his soul power seemed to be loosening.

It seems that the key is here, and only by drawing the figure with soul power can it be solved.

However, Li Ding soon realized that this was not easy, and as the lines became more and more, his consciousness began to blur and his vision began to waver.

Just when he was about to finish the last two lines, he was so dazed that he could barely find his target. But the power of that restraint is still there, and it is obvious that you can't leave it if you can't complete it.

has reached this point, Li Ding simply turned his heart sideways, endured the pain in his consciousness, and didn't care about the danger of going out of his body, stabilized his mind, and in an instant, his soul power turned into the hand of consciousness and crossed the two lines.

There was no sound, only an undetectable fluctuation emanating from the stone pillar. Li Ding suddenly felt relieved, and his eyes quickly moved away from the stone pillar.

At this moment, the black mirror suddenly flashed with cold light, and the carved flowers that were originally hidden below floated on the mirror, and the petals swayed in an instant, and the stamens unfolded, as if they came to life.

Li Ding saw this scene in disbelief, and the next moment he found that a thick black smoke suddenly rose in front of him, and the red light in the black smoke flickered, and two extremely powerful forces rushed towards him.
