Volume 19 Penglai Volume 19 Chapter 48 Treasure Hunt (1)
The surrounding scene was like water waves, and even if Wu Xie concentrated his concentration, he couldn't see what was happening. But this strange sight only existed the moment he stepped through the gate, and when he put his feet on the ground, he found that he had entered an ancient ruin.
It was a large square bucket room, and the whole room was roughly a trapezoidal shape. The "outside" near the doorway is slightly longer, and the inside is gradually shrinking. On the left and right, there are passages, and I don't know where the road leads.
At first glance, Wu Xie felt that this place looked like one of the long corridors, but whether it was the water waves on the wall, the patterns of fish and birds, or the structural style of the entire building itself, he couldn't see anything famous.
His eyesight was amazing, and with just a glance of his gaze, he judged the size of the room—about 100 zhang on the outside, about 80 zhang on the inside, and about 60 zhang wide and ...... high When he looked up, he saw that there was chaos overhead, and he couldn't see the roof at all, and he couldn't measure the height.
"I tried to cast a spell just now, and I can probably fly more than thirty zhang, and if I go higher, there will be invisible resistance." Feng Yin Zhenren, who was standing nearby, said, "At present, the Tiandu Daoist is studying the details of the situation here, and we will wait for the time being until he studies the Hall of Fame." ”
What he said was the words of the old man, and it was also the right thing to hunt for. It is important to know that the risks of adventure and treasure hunting come from both internal and external sources. Internally, there is the intrigue among the people in the expedition, especially after discovering the treasure, they may kill each other; Externally, it is forbidden by the authorities in the ruins, which may mercilessly strangle everyone.
Their expedition team has Wu Xie in charge, and the participants are also carefully selected, maybe in the face of danger, everyone will scatter, but the possibility of fire for the sake of treasure is very small. But the external risks are not something they can control.
Tiandu Zhenren is the top archaeologist in the entire Penglai Sea, and it is obvious that everyone can't see the origin of this ruin, so waiting patiently for his research results is naturally the best choice.
Wu Xie nodded, and his divine thoughts swept through the room, and he noticed that there seemed to be some traces on the ground.
"What's on the ground?" He asked, "Have you done any research?" ”
When Feng Yin Zhenren heard this, he couldn't help but laugh a little: "Have you forgotten if you know that you are not a Taoist?" Three hundred years ago, we brought in a large number of animals and a lot of food and water. ”
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.
It turned out that these traces were left by those animals in the first place - maybe chicken manure or something......
He couldn't help but laugh too, but then reacted: "Huh! Did you take away the food and water you left behind? ”
Feng Yin Zhenren shook his head slowly, his face slightly heavy.
Of course, he understood the implication of Wu Xie - those animals and that little demon would definitely not eat all the food and water at the beginning. Since there are still many traces of animal feces and the like, it is supposed that the food and water are also there.
But...... When they came in, they saw only the traces, not the food or water.
"There's something here!" Wu Jie's eyes shrank, and his divine thoughts were scattered towards the two sides of the Yongdao, but he found that there was a tenacious force in the Yongdao, like a cowhide, blocking his divine thoughts, and it was impossible to invade at all.
He frowned, his eyes widened slightly, and his thoughts gathered, turning into steel needles and rushing to one side fiercely.
But when I hit it, it was as if I had crashed into an extremely viscous glue, and I only advanced a very short distance before I ran out of strength, and then it was bounced out again.
Wu Xie sighed and told everyone the results of his detection.
Everyone was not surprised by this, the ancient ruins are not the same! How many monks have not discovered this ruin for countless years, and I don't know how powerful the people who built the ruins of the road are. Even if the means of knowing non-real people are extraordinary, they are still inferior to most of the people who left the relics. He was just trying again, and it was impossible to really do his best, and it was not surprising that there would be such a result.
The Nine-Fingered Qin Demon was quite dissatisfied with Wu Jie, and when he heard the words, he secretly condensed his thoughts, and randomly chose a Yongdao to try to invade. As a result, his divine thoughts did not encounter any "glue" at all, but it was like a child's fist being stopped by an adult, and he couldn't move forward half a bit.
He wasn't tempting, he really did his best!
After trying several times in succession, he finally gave up this kind of wasting his thoughts in vain, and finally had an intuitive impression of the ability of knowing non-real people.
Not to mention anything else, just the strength of the divine thoughts, the gap between each other is so big that it makes people sigh and despair!
The group stood in the corridor and waited patiently, even though the gate behind them had slowly closed, they did not have the slightest worry or uneasiness.
On Dique Island, Tiandu Zhenren had already prepared seven or eight leading circles. As long as any of them are functioning properly, they can be drawn out of the rut.
Even if something happened and all the leading circles were broken, Tiandu Zhenren also refined a few secret treasures that could reverse the opening of the door circle, which could help everyone exit the ruins.
But...... Tiandu Zhenren said first, it is the safest to use the Guiding Circle to go out, if you have to use those secret treasures, not only will it greatly damage your vitality, but more importantly, the location of the exit will be uncertain.
"The old man's ability is limited, these secret treasures can only take everyone to the island protection array of several nearby islands, as for where to go, it's uncertain - if you're unlucky, it's not impossible to hit your head on a mountain or plant yourself in the sea."
Everyone present was a master, and even those Jindan monks were all leaders in the Jindan realm. Whether it hits a mountain or falls into the sea, it's not a big problem. Since the back road is already so reliable, everyone naturally does not panic at all.
Strangely, there are no lights in the ruins, and there are no windows that let in any light. But inside the ruins is not dark. More than one person searched the chamber and couldn't find anything glowing—and, they were sure, it wasn't the walls or the floor that were glowing.
This kind of situation is really confusing!
After about a quarter of an hour, Tiandu Zhenren, who was squatting on the ground and studying, stood up, but there was an extra array plate with various Hua pattern symbols in his hand.
"I've checked and these traces are from the animals, no exceptions." As he spoke, he urged the array plate, only to see that all kinds of hua patterns on the array plate were lit up, and if you looked closely, it was the patterns of various animals.
"This thing was made by me from some of the fur and flesh of those animals back then, and even after three hundred years, I can sense their residual breath. Look, every HUA pattern on the array is lit up, but the HUA pattern that symbolizes 'I don't know what it is' is not. ”
This discovery made everyone feel a little relieved, and no matter what, at least this room should still be safe.
When it comes to treasure hunting, having a safe rear base is enough to give a lot of peace of mind.
After discussion, they left two Jindan monks to guard at the entrance, and told them that even if they wanted to use the Guiding Circle to leave, they should first inform everyone with a code that had been discussed.
Then, under the leadership of Tiandu Zhenren, the group randomly chose a corridor and walked in. (To be continued!)
