Chapter 249: Underground Passage
Chapter 249: Underground Passage
Boom Boom!
The deafening loud sound lasted for a long time, and the ground in a radius of hundreds of zhang cracked inch by inch, along with the huge body of the steel-toothed ground crocodile king.
Ye Feng and the others were stunned, and some of them couldn't understand the crazy actions of the Steeltooth Earth Crocodile King.
The roar didn't last long, and under the continuous bombardment, a huge hole suddenly broke through the ground, and the steel-toothed crocodile king, who was the initiator, obviously didn't expect this, and after screaming miserably, it fell into the hole along with a large area of dirt around it.
"Is the underground actually empty?" Huang Yao suddenly woke up, looked at the entrance of the Sen Ran Cave that suddenly appeared below, and exclaimed.
The cave was pitch black and silent, and the steel-toothed crocodile king who fell into it did not hear the sound of hitting the bottom of the cave for a long time.
Ye Feng's pupils shrank, and his figure slowly fell on the edge of the cave, and his eyes were blessed by spiritual power, and he looked carefully into the cave.
With the help of spiritual power, Ye Feng's visual field of vision has been greatly improved, and he can see things secretly, but no matter how hard he tries, he can never see the end of the cave.
However, he soon noticed that below the huge cave was a straight cylindrical passage, and the walls of the passage were not made of mud, but some kind of solid stone.
The cave wall seems to have been artificially polished, smooth as a mirror, and on one side of the cave wall, there are several more conspicuous marks, leading straight to the depths of the passage.
The imprint looked relatively new, and Ye Feng guessed that it should have been formed by the steel-toothed ground crocodile beast when it fell down this tunnel and tried to cling to it.
Huang Yao, Cheng Ze and others also gathered around the entrance of the cave, carefully examining the scene in the cave.
Although they couldn't bless their spiritual power, they could also slightly increase their field of vision with the help of Yuan Force, even if it wasn't as far-reaching as Ye Feng saw, they could still see the general appearance of this underground passage.
"No matter how strong the Steeltooth Earth Crocodile King is, it is impossible to dig such a passage!" Huang Yao said in a deep voice.
Zong Nan muttered: "And this passage is obviously not a natural formation, I'm afraid it's the entrance to a certain underground palace!"
"The Underground Palace?" Ye Feng frowned and asked, "Have you ever heard of similar legends?"
"No, the Prancing Horse Plain has existed thousands of years ago. Although Huang Yao has a wide range of knowledge, he has never heard of some ancient ruins on the Prancing Horse Plain.
Before that, he would never have imagined that under the inaccessible Prancing Horse Plain, there was such a cylindrical underground passage with a diameter of nearly 100 zhang.
"Could it be?" Ye Feng raised his head abruptly and looked at the people around him, his pupils flashing strangely. "This is the secret that the world's bandits gather here, and Blue Creek Villa desperately wants to protect?"
"Although this is possible, if Blue Creek Villa wants to keep this secret, why did it transfer us here on purpose?" Zong Nan wondered.
"They claimed that there were fewer bandits in the northeast and that they could exterminate them themselves, but they transferred us here, apparently not knowing the existence of this passage, and if it weren't for the Steeltooth Crocodile King, who was provoked by us and bombarded the ground frantically, we would never have discovered it. Huang Yao said.
In this case, there are only two possibilities. Ye Feng said with a complicated expression, "The secret discovered by Lanxi Villa is not this underground passage, maybe it is another ancient ruin, or maybe what they found is a similar underground passage, but the two underground passages are connected to the same place?"
Ye Feng's idea was extremely bold, because the area of the entire Prancing Horse Plain was too vast, and there were two underground passages, one in the northwest direction and the other in the southeast direction.
Everyone looked at the depths of the passage in unison, their hearts fluctuating, looking both nervous and excited.
Blue Creek Villa is facing a huge risk, but also to keep this secret, and the bandits of the entire Shenwu Continent are gathered here, but I am afraid that it is also because this secret has fallen into the hands of bandits for some reason.
"Senior Brother Ye, what are you going to do next, with our current cultivation, it won't be long to be able to levitate in the air, if you jump down rashly, I'm afraid that you will fall to your death. Huang Yao licked his dry lips and said.
The Shenwu Continent is vast and boundless, and the history of existence is extremely long, since the birth of mankind, I don't know how many times it has experienced, until today, the ancient ruins excavated by warriors from all over the world, there are as many as tens of thousands, including some unprecedented ancient treasures, because of the discovery of a ruin, many of the originally unknown ordinary warriors soared in strength overnight, and their cultivation soared to the sky, becoming famous all over the world, this kind of strange things are not uncommon.
Seeing such a good thing happening in front of him, how could Huang Yao not be moved.
Ye Feng frowned and was silent, Huang Ge was the same as Cheng Ze, his face was full of red light, and his expression was excited.
Zong Nan, like Ye Feng, seemed calmer, and said in a deep voice: "Blue Creek Villa would rather spend a huge amount of Yuan Crystal, take a great risk, but also protect this secret, it can be seen that they have already found out some of this information, maybe, Blue Creek Villa transferred us away just to attract the attention of the bandits, so that they can take this opportunity to go deep into it, if this underground passage really leads to that secret place, we may run into the people of Blue Creek Villa!"
"If we meet, we will run into them, are we still afraid of them?" Huang Yao said coldly, he didn't have the slightest good impression of Lanxi Villa.
"In normal times, the people of Lanxi Villa may be jealous of the identity behind us, but now this is their territory after all, and they are in the underground, after all, Lanxi Villa is a human-level sect, and the masters in the village are like clouds, just rely on a few of our disciples from the outer sect of the Tianji Sect, what can we do to compete with them, and once we are found underground, they will inevitably take action immediately and wipe out all of us, and even if the elders in the sect ask, they can also shirk it to the bandits. ”
Hearing this, Huang Yao's face changed slightly, before leaving, they had also seen many masters of Lanxi Villa, at least they also had the cultivation of the Gangwu Realm, and Lan Yunfeng, the owner of Lanxi Villa, had the strength of the martial saint of the Xuanwu Realm, and he could kill them lightly with a raise of his hand.
"According to what you say, are we going to give up here?" Huang Yao said with some displeasure.
"It seems that we can only choose this way, it is better to return to the Heavenly Machine Sect first and report this matter to the high-level members of the sect. Zong Nan said helplessly.
"No!" Ye Feng, who had not spoken for a long time, flatly refused, "How far is the Prancing Horse Plain from the Heavenly Machine Sect, I think you and I both know it, if we change our minds temporarily and suddenly make a request to return to the sect, do you think the Blue Creek Villa will still lend us the Hanging Boat? Without the Hanging Boat, it will take at least more than a month to return to the Heavenly Machine Sect, and by that time, the underground ruins will have already been looted by the Blue Creek Villa, even if the masters in the sect come, I am afraid that they will be busy in vain!"
Zong Nan was stunned when he heard this, among all the people, he was the most cautious, although the temptation of the treasure from the underground ruins was difficult to resist, but he cherished his life more, for him, he couldn't even save his life, no matter how good the treasure was, what was the use.
Huang Yao said: "Senior Brother Zhou is reasonable, if we return to the sect now, we may not be able to get anything, it is better to lead the other disciples to return to the sect, and we are willing to take the risk to stay!"
"This ......" Zong Nan was a little hesitant for a while, if he returned to the sect, his life would naturally be safe, but this opportunity that he finally encountered would pass by.
"Brother Zong, along the way of martial arts, it is most taboo to retreat from the battle, not to mention that the people of Lanxi Villa are in the northwest direction of the entire Prancing Horse Plain, even if the two passages lead to the same underground ruins, they may not be able to meet, we can be more careful at that time, besides, Brother Zhou also has the Soul Refining Ding to strengthen the soul thought, and you can explore the surrounding situation, in case there is really any abnormal movement, we will hide. After the battle of the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss, the relationship between Cheng Ze and Zong Nan has become much more harmonious, and he doesn't want his friend to miss this extremely rare opportunity.
"Okay, I'll go down with you!" Zong Nan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Everyone agrees, and the next step is to find a way to access this underground passage.
With everyone's current cultivation, it is not difficult to use Yuan Force to alleviate the trend of falling, but if the passage is too deep, even if the Yuan Force is exhausted, they will not be able to reach the bottom of the passage, and they will fall to death in it.
"The Steeltooth Ground Crocodile King is still down there, its defense is extremely strong, it shouldn't be so easy to fall to death, if even it is killed by falling, we don't have to go down. Huang Yao smiled bitterly.
"I have a way!" Ye Feng thought for a moment, and casually threw out a round small tripod!
It is the four-element Qiankun Ding.
"Isn't this the Soul Refining Ding? Could it be that Brother Zhou wants to use this object to explore this passage?" Huang Yao was shocked.
"This is just one of its abilities!" Ye Feng didn't say much, his fingers pinched the trick, and he made several tricks one after another.
Wisps of silver light flew out from Ye Feng's fingertips, and these beams of light were the spiritual power stored in his Mud Pill Palace.
The Four-Element Qiankun Ding, which was suspended in the air, greedily absorbed the spiritual power that Ye Feng had hit, and immediately buzzed and continued to spin in the air.
A moment later, the surface of the round dome was full of light, rising against the storm, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was shrouded in shadows.
Looking at the huge round dome above their heads, Huang Yao and the others breathed sluggishly, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Ye Feng exhaled lightly, and said secretly in his heart, it seems that my guess is correct, the hidden function in the second formation of this tripod, the floating treasure weapon used by the disciples of the Heavenly Machine Sect is quite similar.
Ever since he lied about the Four-Yuan Qiankun Ding as the Soul Refining Ding and took it out and used it openly, Ye Feng had been studying the second magic circle of this Ding.
When he first broke through the first storage array, his immortal path cultivation was only twofold qi refining, and now his immortal path cultivation has reached the fourfold qi refining level, whether it is spiritual power or spiritual thoughts, it is far beyond the previous level.
For three consecutive days, Ye Feng led everyone around the Prancing Horse Plain to find the traces of other sect disciples, while constantly studying the method of cracking the second formation.
It wasn't until today that Ye Feng completely broke the second sealing circle of this tripod and successfully stimulated the second power of the Four-Yuan Qiankun Ding.
After the formation was broken, Ye Feng had no chance to try to use it, and at this moment, in the face of the ancient treasures that might exist in the ground, Ye Feng no longer hid it, and simply sacrificed the Four Yuan Qiankun Ding in front of everyone, and in front of everyone, he exerted the second power.
"With the help of this tripod, we should be able to easily access the underground passage of Guò!"
With a slight jump, Ye Feng landed on the top of the dinglid, and said to everyone below with a smile.
"Floating Treasure, this is actually still a Floating Treasure!" Cheng Ze muttered to himself, his mind was completely in a trance!
