Three-two-three, search in the dungeon
The spiritual power has changed, and Xiao Hua has already searched for the approximate location of the so-called nine-fold dungeon after escaping underground with the black-bearded old man. 【,
What surprised him a little was that this group of islands and reefs within a radius of about 100 miles was actually one, and they all belonged to a mountain submerged by the sea! However, there were no fluctuations in the origin of the soil in this mountain, and there was no trace of the origin of the water, so Xiao Hua quickly focused his attention on the ninefold dungeon inside the mountain.
When he was full of confidence, Xiao Hua ordered his spiritual power to continue to test the past. After the spiritual power probed the specific area that should be the Ninefold Earth Dungeon and confirmed that there was no danger, it was only then that he escaped at full speed for a distance of three or four hundred zhang.
The black-bearded old man didn't make any resistance, he was in the spiritual power shield stretched out by Xiao Hua, and looked at the rapidly receding earth and stones around him with great curiosity. Before he could say a word, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he came to a stone cave in the middle of the mountain that looked quite large.
"Mo Lao, I have already explored, there is only this connected underground stone cave in this island, and there are eight floors below. Xiao Hua withdrew his spiritual power shield and soil origin, concentrating his eyes to observe the surrounding situation.
I saw that this vast stone cave was twenty or thirty zhang long, and it was very dark and gloomy because it was supported by round stone pillars of different sizes. The wet stone wall is inlaid with spars that emit a miserable green fluorescence, and I don't know if it is the legendary luminous pearl raw material.
Among them, under each fist-sized stone and shaped similar to the stone picked up casually on the side of the road, there is an open stone door. Inside the stone gate, the square circle is not more than a zhang, there are basically no utensils, and it looks very simple.
"There's no sign of life on this level, so let's get down there. After glancing at all the stone chambers in this cave, the black-bearded old man said very calmly, obviously thinking that this was expected.
But Xiao Hua was unmoved, and after increasing his sensing power to the limit, he checked every stone room very carefully. With Xiao Hua's current sensing ability, as long as his parents have appeared here, then he has full confidence that he can find out which stone room his parents live in!
The black-bearded old man saw that Xiao Hua was not moving at all, but his mental power fluctuated violently, and he guessed what Xiao Hua was doing in a flash, so he waited patiently.
After a while, Xiao Hua said unusually calmly: "Mo Lao, let's go to the second floor to have a look." ”
Without asking anything, the black-bearded old man followed Xiao Hua to the center of the stone cave and walked down the stone steps that spiraled around the pillars.
When he arrived at the second layer of the stone cave, sensing that there was also no breath of the living here, the black-bearded old man frowned slightly. Seeing that Xiao Hua was still meticulously sensing the faint aura remaining in each stone room, when the black-bearded old man was bored, he also searched the stone cave by himself, hoping to find some useful clues.
"Mo Lao, what layers are ordinary people usually locked up in the Ninefold Soil Dungeon?" Xiao Hua, who had searched carefully and had nothing to gain, suddenly asked.
The black-bearded old man also suddenly realized at this time, and hurriedly replied: "This island is the largest island in the group of islands and reefs, and the people who want to come and detain must be Innate Realm martial cultivators and important people. Ordinary people must be locked up on other islands. It is only when they are dispersed that they will cause problems for our rescue operations. ”
Xiao Hua nodded, thinking that this must be the reason. He checked the stone chamber just now, and found that there was nothing in it except a simple stone bed, and he suddenly felt a little strange. Now after hearing the words of the black-bearded old man, Xiao Hua thought about it for a while, and then made up his mind: "Old Mo, we might as well speed up." If all the stone chambers on the lower floors have been opened, then let's go to the other islands. ”
"Don't be in a hurry!" the black-bearded old man unexpectedly stopped Xiao Hua, and then explained: "This nine-fold dungeon, the further down it goes, the stronger its protective ability becomes. Even if the stone chamber is all opened, there are still some traps in the secret, so you and I should be careful. Even if you and I can protect ourselves in a short period of time, if there is still our Terran martial cultivator in the stone room, it will be a big trouble!"
After speaking, the black-bearded old man walked to the spiral stone steps first, and his steps were decent, no different from ordinary people.
Xiao Hua didn't understand it very well, and he didn't have any sense of crisis, he only felt that with the sensing power comparable to that of a martial god powerhouse, he was completely able to perceive the danger hidden in the shadows. However, for the sake of safety, Xiao Hua still recalled what he saw on the crystal of Hongwu Tower.
When he discovered that whether it was the Demon Clan's Water Prison or the Sin Clan's Soil Dungeon, every cell could deliver a fatal blow to the imprisoned Wu Xiu, Xiao Hua secretly felt lucky. After following the black-bearded old man into the third-layer stone cave, Xiao Hua's actions also became very cautious.
"Look at that stone room, the walls seem to be crawling with moss, but in fact, it's not moss at all! It's the unique Chaos God Grass in the Realm Sky Ocean! After the innate powerhouse is locked in, it will be invaded by the smell of the Chaos God Grass, and the spiritual power will gradually lose control!" Coming to the third layer of the stone cave, the black-bearded old man raised his arm and pointed to the stone room directly opposite, and reminded Xiao Hua with a serious expression: "If anyone dares to destroy the Chaos God Grass, the battle array hidden at the root of the Chaos God Grass will immediately inspire a powerful suppressive power!"
"As for the strength of oppression, it is also determined by the strength of the prisoner's struggle. The more you struggle, the stronger the power of suppression!" said this, the black-bearded old man paused. When he turned around, he saw that Xiao Hua was listening carefully, and said with a straight face: "And the core battle formation that controls the Ninefold Soil Dungeon is actually all over every layer of the Ninefold Prison! Although it only belongs to the third-order battle formation, it is extremely powerful! Like this Ninefold Prison now, the old man estimates that Mo Shuai will be difficult to break with one move!"
Xiao Hua kept nodding on the side, knowing that the black-bearded old man was not exaggerating. Even Xiao Hua knew that if it was a dungeon that imprisoned the Martial God, once its core battle array was activated, even if it was an Extreme Dao Void Venerable powerhouse, it would take some time to break through!
"It seems that there is no stone chamber closed on this floor, so we continue to search down. When he said this, the black-bearded old man shook his head secretly, and there was no hope in his heart.
Looking around, Xiao Hua didn't find anything, so he followed the black-bearded old man and continued to walk towards the next floor.
I never thought about going all the way to the seventh layer of the stone cave, and found that all the stone chambers along the way were all open, which made Xiao Hua and the old man with black beard frown. It's not that I feel heavy because I can't find anyone, but I feel that there are too many Terran powerhouses who have been imprisoned here!
If we roughly estimate that there are 100 stone chambers on each floor, then this nine-story dungeon can hold 900 people! And now that all the stone chambers in the seven-story stone cave are open, it means that this place was once full of Terran martial cultivators!
"Mo Lao, could it be that during this period of time, the alien race happened to have captured a lot of strong people of our clan, so the alien martial gods would come to guard it in person?"
There seems to be a similar speculation, and the black-bearded old man's face is even paler. As he walked slowly, he said bitterly: "What a mistake! The situation reported by the 12th detachment a few days ago did not attract enough attention! If the city lord had led the team over at that time, maybe he would have been able to rescue them all!"
Looking left and right at the empty stone cave, Xiao Hua also felt that he should act early. I really can't understand why they know that this place is the place where the aliens are holding the human race, Mo Guangling and the others still don't take action, and they have to wait until tonight?
Seeing the black-bearded old man walking towards the eighth floor, Xiao Hua suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Mo Lao, did the alien race capture our human race martial cultivation use it to refine human puppets?
The black-bearded old man, who was about to step on the stone steps, stopped when he heard this, took a deep breath, and said in a desolate tone: "Brother Xiao, since you have come to the Western Guard Clan, you will inevitably have to fight with other races in the future. The old man hopes that when you encounter a human puppet, no matter what kind of abnormal behavior the human puppet has, you will not believe that the human puppet is still a human ......being! The easiest and most effective way to help them is to destroy them!"
Having said that, the black-bearded old man floated down, regardless of whether Xiao Hua still had a problem.
Xiao Hua, who also knew something about human puppets, was secretly frightened, guessing that the black-bearded old man must have had an unforgettable experience, otherwise he would not be so excited. The interested one didn't continue to ask, Xiao Hua followed closely and came to the eighth layer of the stone cave.
"Mo Lao, is there anyone else?!" his eyes swept over, Xiao Hua's spirits were greatly lifted, and he found that there were as many as fifteen stone rooms on this floor with the stone doors closed.
"Old man Mo Zhe, the deputy commander of the twentieth detachment of the Western Guard Clan, dare to ask you, are you all my human race martial cultivators?"
Xiao Hua sensed that the black-bearded old man, that is, Mo Zhe, was already in a state of imminent triggering when he spoke. Not daring to make any mistakes, Xiao Hua also focused his attention, paying attention to the movements of the fifteen stone rooms.
Soon a few breaths passed, and the stone cave was unusually quiet, and the fifteen stone chambers did not respond at all. But Xiao Hua and Mo Zhe could vaguely sense that there were innate powerhouses in those fifteen stone rooms!
"Mo Lao, why don't you let me break the battle formation of this nine-fold dungeon first. Presumably, this battle array is also maintained by using innate spars, as long as the juniors take away all those innate spars, they can break the battle formation first!" Xiao Hua saw that Mo Zhe had not taken action for a long time, so he made a suggestion in a changed mind.
"The Innate Hedron is inside the stone pillars on each layer, unless you can take out all the Innate Hedron in an instant. Otherwise, as long as you move that piece, the entire large array will activate on its own!" Mo Zhe shook his head slightly, and began to walk towards a stone room unhurriedly.
In fact, after Xiao Hua finished speaking, he realized that he was a little arrogant. If it was really that simple to break the core battle formation of the dungeon, how could Mo Zhe not know? Therefore, after hearing Mo Zhe's words, Xiao Hua was awkwardly silent, and began to move slowly according to Mo Zhe's pace.
Mo Zhe, who was highly concentrated, sensed that Xiao Hua was following him step by step, but he became even more nervous. The reason is that Xiao Hua's identity and status are too high, if there is any mistake, then even if he Mo Zhe has a hundred lives, he can't afford it!
