Chapter 242: Sinking
Wang Fenghuang and Tian Liang shuttled on the cliff opposite the waterfall, and the cliff wall was full of caves.
The two entered a cave and a foul smell came over them, apparently the monkey's dwelling.
The cave is not big, only five or six meters in diameter, but there is a deep tunnel behind the cave, and I don't know where it leads.
Tian Liang said something in his heart, there would not be a grandmaster-level monkey hidden in it.
Seeing Wang Fenghuang walk in without hesitation, he stubbornly followed, the road was more than one person high, it was not dark inside, those white rocks emitted a faint glow, and the road was faintly visible.
"It's a ladder!" Tian Liang couldn't help but exclaim.
Wang Fenghuang looked at his feet with a solemn face, this was obviously a ladder carved out by man, although the group of monkeys had some wisdom, but such a project was by no means something they could do.
"Let's go!" Wang Phoenix, who was full of curiosity, walked down the stairs.
Tian Liang wanted to dissuade him, but he was afraid that it would damage the man's image, so he had to give up and follow closely.
The road is not long, but about a mile down, the two enter a huge cave, there is a large pool in the center of the cave, the rich aroma of wine fills this space, and on the side where the two enter, there are countless holes, densely packed with large and small, obviously every monkey nest on the mountain wall leads to here.
"Monkey wine, so much monkey wine!" Tian Liang was overjoyed, the whole pool was full of monkey wine, and the bottom of the pool was piled up with thick "silt", which was precipitated by the residue of various flowers, fruits and herbs.
Wang Fenghuang walked to the edge of the pool, held the wine in both hands and put it to his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.
A soft, delicate line of wine flows down the throat. After turning around in the abdomen, it turned into a pure aura.
"Good wine!" Wang Fenghuang praised.
I don't know how many elixirs, spirit fruits, and spirit flowers have been added to this monkey wine. And how many years have it been fermented in this pool. The resulting wine is not spicy, but silky. It is full of aura, and a sip of sweet and elegant makes Wang Phoenix want to stop.
Tian Liang didn't like to drink, but seeing Wang Fenghuang drinking happily, he couldn't help but move his index finger. Coupled with the thirst in his mouth, he also came up, learned from Wang Fenghuang to pick up a handful of wine, and drank it in one gulp.
The smooth, silky liquor flowed down the throat. Suddenly there was a burst of refreshment, and the rich aura made him feel like he was soaking in a hot spring, which was extremely comfortable.
The two drank a few sips before they stood up, and Wang Fenghuang took out a water bladder from his body, emptied the water, and put it in the wine pool.
Tian Liang did the same, and also took out a water bladder.
After a while, the wine was filled with water bladders, and Wang Fenghuang looked at the wine in the pool with some pity. I thought about asking Lin Sen to send someone over to get more after I went back, but I couldn't take it all, at least half of it should be left as the head of the wine, so that the monkeys could continue to make wine.
The bladder is filled with liquor. Only then did the two of them have the leisure to look around, this cave is three or four thousand meters in circumference, and the height is about five thousand meters. Obviously, half of the cliff was hollowed out.
"What is this?" Tian Liang walked towards a mountain wall in confusion. The dimming light of the white stone on the mountain wall was uncertain, and he took out a night pearl from his bosom.
"Ancient Runes!" exclaimed Wang Fenghuang, who was standing behind him.
Antiquity (before the disappearance of the saints). Formations are actually not taken seriously, because there is a better and more convenient way to achieve the same effect, and that is runes.
The use of runes does not require so many materials, and the consumption of energy is also less, but it can also attract the great power between heaven and earth, and achieve the same or even better effect than the formation, such as the Taijing Shangqing Talisman that Lin Sen obtained in the Golden Ao Blessed Land.
Therefore, in ancient times, rune masters were a more popular profession than array mages, but with the disappearance of saints, a large number of rune masters disappeared along with saints.
Later, in the thousand-year war between humans and the three major alien races, because of the importance of rune masters, they also became the target of assassination attacks by opponents, and countless rune masters died.
By now, most of those profound runes have been lost, and only a few have survived, but they no longer have the world-destroying power that they had in their heyday.
It is also because of this that the formation doctrine gradually rose, and absorbed the essence of the remnant runes, combined the two, and developed and expanded, so that it has today's prosperity.
At this time, a few runes on the mountain wall were not complicated, Wang Fenghuang was proficient in formations, and of course he would have a certain understanding of runes.
"It's... Settlement Talisman!" Wang Fenghuang stepped forward, pushed aside the white vines on the mountain wall, and looked at it carefully.
"What is the effect of the settling charm?" Tian Liang asked with a puzzled face.
Wang Fenghuang's hands groped around the mountain wall engraved with runes, and he didn't care about answering.
"Found it!"
Suddenly, she screamed excitedly with a slap in her right hand.
She quickly tore off the vines with both hands, revealing a groove the size of an egg.
"What is it?" Tian Liang was even more puzzled.
But before he could ask, he saw Wang Fenghuang take out a silk sac from his arms, which was shining with golden light, obviously woven with golden silk.
She opened the mouth of the silk sac and poured out a diamond-shaped star diamond, no more than half the size of a thumb, and the dots of stars in between, radiating with a sparkling light.
Wang Fenghuang put away the silk sac and put the star drill into the groove, the hole of the groove was diagonally downward, and the star diamond fell down the ramp.
Then, several runes on the mountain wall lit up instantly, and white light emitted a soft light through the gaps in the runes' strokes.
Boom, the whole cavern began to shake, and the vines hanging on the stone walls on all sides trembled like snakes.
"Phoenix, what's going on? What's going on?" Tian Liang was unsteady on his footing and almost fell, and finally couldn't help but scream.
Wang Fenghuang grabbed Tian Liang's arm, patted him on the shoulder again, and said with a cautious expression: "It's okay, it's just that the stone cave is about to sink!"
As soon as the words fell, I felt a shock in the whole stone cave, and it began to sink slowly.
Tian Liang was in a cold sweat, sinking... It's sinking? Is this still called okay?
However, seeing Wang Phoenix's calm face, Tian Liang sighed secretly, the phoenix is not afraid of what I am afraid of, since it can sink, it must be able to rise up, and the phoenix must have a way.
Moreover, a faint thought suddenly popped up in his heart, even if this stone cave can't rise, I can die with the woman I love, I am willing.
Thinking of this, he calmed down suddenly, slowly stood up straight, and peeked at the woman beside him with a smile.
Wang Fenghuang didn't pay attention to the changes in the people around her, she was carefully calculating the distance of her fall.
The cave descended at a faster pace, and finally, after a quarter of an hour, it stopped.
The position where Wang Fenghuang and Tian Liang were located was facing the direction they came in, and at this time, the originally dense hole was long gone, and a huge stone gate appeared in front of the two of them.
The stone gate is densely covered with runes, which are extremely mysterious, and most of them don't even know Wang Phoenix.
"It's definitely an ancient relic of antiquity. (To be continued......)
