Chapter 196: A Mountain Within a Mountain
Tian Xiaoding broke into the depths of the Soul Burial Mountain, and spent most of his time hiding and escaping.
Thankfully, his flying speed has increased dramatically after being refined. What's more, each monster beast will have its own territory, and they will not leave their territory easily.
In this way, as long as Xiao Ding desperately escapes and is not blocked by the demon beast, then he will definitely be able to run out of the territory of the demon beast.
Therefore, most of his journeys were thrilling and dangerous, such as the eighth-order leopard demon who had been chasing him. At first, Xiao Ding was scared, but after he escaped from the territory of the leopard demon, the leopard demon stopped chasing him. After all, the leopard demon still has to guard the spirit plants it guards.
After getting rid of the entanglement of the leopard demon, Xiao Ding looked around, there were reckless mountains and forests everywhere, where to find the mountain without grass and trees?
He calculated the date himself, and by now, it was exactly half a month.
In other words, the position he is in now is the middle position in the east-west direction of the Soul Burial Mountain.
It stands to reason that the tomb of the Zhaonu where the fairy was buried should be near here, but why hasn't he found it yet?
Xiao Ding let go of his divine sense and carefully searched the vicinity to see if there were any mountains without grass and trees.
Don't look at Xiao Ding's cultivation now, it is still very low, but his divine sense is very strong, and the range covered by his divine consciousness is extremely wide, and he can explore the radius of twenty or thirty miles with him as the center.
With his current divine consciousness coverage, it can even exceed the foundation building stage monks, and it can completely compare to the divine consciousness range of Jindan stage monks.
Such a powerful divine sense is naturally due to the medicinal effect of the Heavenly Spirit Pill. Xiao Ding refined a lot of Heavenly Spirit Pills last time, which made his divine sense increase significantly.
However, after Xiao Ding probed around, he unexpectedly found that from the direction he came, a flying magic weapon actually flew in.
It's a swallow-shaped artifact. The shape of the ritual weapon resembles a swallow with wings spreading, and it has a cabin on it, and its flight speed is very fast.
Xiao Ding noticed that in the cabin of this Feiyan magic weapon, there were more than a dozen monks in the foundation building period, although their cultivation was higher than Xiao Ding, the clothes on their bodies were tattered, and the complexion of their bodies was also bronze. At first glance, this is the result of the skin's long-term exposure to sunlight.
The man who was the first of these people looked to be about forty years old on the surface, but his cultivation had already reached the stage of Jindan. His appearance was somewhat ugly, mainly because he had a long scar on his face, from the tip of his left eyebrow to the corner of his right mouth, and it was clear that his face had been slashed with a sharp weapon. Fortunately, his life was big, and his whole head was not split in half by a sharp weapon.
Because of this scar, the man's face looked a little hideous. Although the scar has long since healed, the upturned flesh still makes people feel shocking when they look at it.
Xiao Ding saw that the direction in which this Feiyan magic weapon was advancing was exactly where he was now, and he was shocked in his heart, and secretly said in his heart, looking at the outfits of these people and the direction in which they flew, could it be that they were the group of pirates who wanted to go to the Zhaonu Mausoleum and rob the tomb as Chu Changtai said?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his mind. Just secretly follow behind these people, anyway, they are going to the Zhaonu Mausoleum, with them leading the way, it will save them the trouble of searching.
As for the treasures in the Zhaonu Mausoleum, Xiao Ding never thought that the pirates would rob them if they wanted to rob the tomb, and their purpose was to find the earth tortoise. In Xiao Ding's view, everyone takes what they need, and there is no conflict.
So, he immediately landed on the Flying Cloud Shuttle and put it away. Then he hid behind a large rock and performed invisibility to hide his body.
Although it is said that the stealth technique for that group of pirates cannot escape the detection of other people's divine senses at all. But if the pirates don't open their divine sense to investigate, then it will still be difficult for them to find Xiao Ding's hiding place.
It didn't take long for the Flying Swallow artifact to come close and fly over the location where Xiao Ding was hiding.
Xiao Ding hurriedly took out the mace and stepped on it, flew with the stick, and followed closely behind.
The reason why he chose to fly with a stick is because Xiao Ding is still using stealth skills. Only the weapon he is holding in his hand, or the items he is carrying, can be invisible at the same time as him, if he uses the Flying Cloud Shuttle, then he will not be able to steal the Flying Cloud Shuttle with him, and it will be easy to expose the target.
However, even so, Xiao Ding didn't dare to chase too close. Moreover, even if he flew with all his might, he would not be able to catch up with other people's Feiyan magic weapons.
As a result, Xiao Ding could only fall far behind and fly stealthily.
What puzzled Xiao Ding was that for some reason, there were no demon beasts in the area where they flew.
Could it be that there are no rare spirit plants in this position?
Anyway, Xiao Ding can't figure out what the reason is.
He just followed the pirates' swift artifacts all the way forward, then turned a few more times around and around until they came to a stop in front of a high mountain.
Xiao Ding looked at the mountain and saw that the vegetation on the mountain was dense, and it was not the mountain without vegetation that Chu Changtai said at all.
After the group of pirates jumped off the Flying Swallow Weapon one after another, the ugly Scarface led by him, put away the Flying Swallow Magic Weapon, and then led the dozen or so people towards the root of the mountain, and soon, they disappeared from Xiao Ding's sight.
Xiao Ding was curious, and said in his heart, is this the Zhaonu Mausoleum?
Whether it was or not, Xiao Ding also flew over with a stick, and when he reached the mountain, he saw clearly that there was a hidden cave at the root of this mountain, and the entrance of the cave was covered with dense grass and trees, and it was really difficult to find if he didn't look carefully.
Obviously, the pirates went into this cave.
Could it be that the Zhaonu Mausoleum is hidden in a cave? Xiao Ding drew a question mark in his heart.
He listened with his ears in, but heard nothing, so he took his mace, and bent down into the mouth of the cave.
The cave was a little damp, and after walking some distance, the cave was already completely dark.
Fortunately, cultivators have strong night vision, and even if it is dark in the cave, Xiao Ding can still see things clearly.
There was no fork in the cave, and it was only as high as one person, the size of one or two people walking at the same time.
After walking a long distance into the cave, Xiao Ding did not find any mausoleum in it. The pirates didn't stop in the cave, but kept heading forward.
Xiao Ding had no choice but to carry a mace and follow them all the way forward.
After walking forward for a long time, Xiao Ding felt that he was about to pass through the belly of the entire mountain. Suddenly, he heard a cheer from the group of pirates in front of him:
"His grandmother's, it's finally coming to an end! What kind of bird is this, and you have to cross the whole mountain? ”
"I said the third child, do you know a bird's egg? Let me tell you, the more you are in this kind of hidden place, the more rare it means that the treasure in the tomb of the Zhao Nu is rare. ”
"That's it, that's it, the second one is right. If this Zhaonu Mausoleum had not been so hidden, I estimate that her tomb would have been turned over 800 times. ”
"Huh? I'm surprised, since this Zhaonu Mausoleum is so hidden, how did the sixth find it? ”
"You don't know that, do you? In fact, the sixth child also found out here by mistake. He once came to this Soul Burial Mountain to look for medicinal materials, but he was chased by demon beasts and had no way to go to the sky, and there was no way to enter the ground. Then he plunged headlong into the cave. Then, he walked and walked, and when he came to the end, he also found the Zhaonu Mausoleum in the mountain. ”
"So, the Zhaonu Mausoleum is behind this mountain?"
"Of course, the hill in front of us that does not grow grass and trees, isn't the cemetery of the Zhaonu Mausoleum at the bottom of the mountain?"
"Since this Zhaonu Mausoleum is hidden behind the mountain, why don't we use a flying magic weapon to leap over from the top of the mountain?"
"I'll catch the fifth, are you stupid, you look up, there is a layer of enchantment condensed in the air shrouded in the purpose of the Zhaonu Mausoleum, and the air is still gray, look down from above, you can't see anything, how can you tell where is the Zhaonu Mausoleum?"
"I see! Then let's quickly find the entrance to the Mausoleum! ”
"Old Seven, what are you anxious about? Don't you see the enchantment hanging over the outside of the hill? We'll have to work together to break the barrier. ”
When Ding heard the pirates talking, he had already guessed that they had reached the end of the cave and had already gone out of the cave. It seems that this cave is really a cave that crosses the entire belly of the mountain.
It is also unknown whether this cave was formed naturally or dug artificially.
But Xiao Ding can't care so much now, he continues to walk towards the front incognito.
Soon, he noticed that there was a bright light not far ahead, and as he walked forward, the light inside the cave became brighter and brighter.
It wasn't long before he saw the exit at the other end of the cave. By this time, the pirates had already left the entrance to the cave.
Xiao Ding cautiously touched the entrance of the cave, and did not dare to come out directly, but probed his head and glanced outside.
Suddenly, I found that there was a small hill directly outside the entrance of the cave, and there was no grass on this small hill.
And in front of the small hill, there is a huge stone tablet with three huge characters written on it - "Zhaonu Mausoleum".
On the periphery of the hill, there is a barrier. At this time, more than a dozen pirates were attacking the barrier with all their might.
It turns out that the Zhaonu Mausoleum is a small hill without grass and trees, not the big mountain described in Chu Changtai's mouth! Xiao Ding thought to himself.
He looked around again, and saw that it was surrounded on all sides by high mountains. And the sky above here is also chaotic, it seems that someone has cast a spell, and what have you done to do something, and you can't see the sky above at all.
Seeing that the group of pirates was attacking the enchantment, Xiao Ding said in his heart, thanks to your help, otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to break that layer of enchantment, so how can I talk about catching the earth turtle?
