Chapter 187: First Move
Mi Fan was suspicious: "No, right? It's just such a small rock, it can also be called a mountain peak? If it weren't for the white snow sculpture just now flying away, I guess it would be difficult to find it even in front of me!"
Li Fei observed for a while, and said uncertainly: "It should be this special stone, let's go and take a look." ”
A moment later, Li Fei, Yue'er, and Mi Fan landed on a black stone the size of a zhang.
On the surface, there is nothing special about the black stone, but if you touch it with your hands, you will soon notice the magic - the surrounding ice and snow, but this stone is relatively warm and warm.
Mi Fan looked around and exclaimed, "That's interesting! This stone is not a 'stone' at all, but a huge iron rod! It is very likely that it will go straight to the earth fire and conduct the heat......
Li Fei ignored Mi Fan's emotion, but cleared the snow around the stones, and soon revealed a cone-shaped outline.
Looking in the direction of the cone, Li Fei said in surprise: "No, it is said that the place opposite the cone should be a big valley!
Mi Fan responded to the prestige and speculated: "It is very likely that there is a large avalanche of the surrounding glaciers, which has filled the valley." This kind of thing is all too common. ”
Yue'er agreed: "It must be so, these ancient glaciers don't know how many thousands of years have existed, and avalanches are common. ”
Li Fei smiled bitterly: "It's troublesome now, it turns out that I only know that the entrance is in the valley opposite, but now that it's been filled, it's hard to find." ”
Yue'er said confidently: "It's okay, on the surface, the valley is only tens of miles in size at most, let's look for it separately along the mountain, it shouldn't take too long." ”
Li Fei shook his head and said, "It's hard to say...... The previous entrance was extremely secret, but now it is buried by a large amount of snow and ice, and it is estimated that there is no trace of it, unless you hit the entrance of the cave directly, how can you find it?"
Mi Fan also shook his head and said: "Random search can only be the last way to find out, visual inspection of the valley has been filled in at least a few miles of height, if you really want to find them one by one, it is definitely not easy." ”
Yue'er's confidence was greatly hit, and she said casually: "Then what should I do?" I thought that a magical ability I had learned to travel through the ice and snow could be used to show my skills, if it was really possible to travel dozens of miles from left to right, and more than a few miles up and down, it would be a really difficult task. ”
Mi Fan said a little helplessly: "I can only go over and have a look first, as long as the entrance is still there, you can still find it." ”
"Wait!" Li Fei stopped, and at the same time took out a tripod to measure the terrain, set it up along the cone, and began to observe it carefully.
After a stick of incense, Li Fei put away the tripod and determined a key area with a range of more than ten zhang, and then drew a sub-key area with a range of more than 100 zhang.
Next, the three of them rushed to the big slope and began to search. Yue'er and Mi Fan fled directly into the ice to search, Li Fei wandered around for a while, summoned the Antarctic Ice Dragon, and issued an order to find the entrance, and the Antarctic Ice Dragon went to find it.
Li Fei himself was idle, looked at the huge peaks that originally formed the valley, and decided to go up and look for it to see if there were any clues as to why such a large area of avalanche occurred.
An hour later, Li Fei surveyed around the valley twice, and although he didn't find any obvious clues, he stumbled upon a few damaged array flags in several locations halfway up the mountain.
Judging from the wounds where the array flags were damaged, Li Fei judged that these array flags should have been damaged recently, and the longest time would not exceed half a year.
The new discovery made Li Fei very uneasy. If the avalanche is man-made, although it cannot be directly caused by manpower, it is already super generous to use other means, including formations, to achieve such an amazing effect!
It also proves from the side that the strength of the person who caused all this is definitely not an ordinary strength, but an extremely terrifying master, of course, it is more likely to be a team.
Returning to the key search area, Li Fei was a little worried when he saw that Yue'er and Mi Fan were nowhere to be found, but he couldn't inform them, so he could only wait patiently while staying vigilant outside.
It wasn't until late at night that Mifan appeared. Li Fei asked with concern, "How is the situation?"
Mi Fan smiled bitterly: "The key area has been searched several times, and no useful clues have been found. Yue'er and the Antarctic Ice Dragon have been searched in the sub-priority area. ”
Li Fei was a little surprised, gave a general introduction to the situation found outside, and said a little worriedly: "If someone takes the lead, losing the opportunity is secondary, and I am most afraid of unnecessary conflicts." Senior Brother Nine, what do you think?"
Mi Fan pondered for a long time and said cautiously: "If the large-scale avalanche outside is deliberately caused by someone, it means that someone doesn't want others to find it, and it also means that the situation inside is more complicated, and it can't be done in a short time, otherwise there is no need for this to make such trouble." ”
Li Fei nodded and said, "I agree with your speculation. The black stone, I went back to see it again, and it was very difficult to destroy it, because the volume underneath was larger, the characteristics were the same, and it was even harder to find it in its original state. ”
Mi Fan continued to speculate: "It is more likely that the people who are one step ahead of us should be from the Buddhist sect, after all, this is their territory, but it cannot be ruled out that other monks like us have traveled thousands of miles to come. ”
Li Fei remembered that Mi Fan was from the Beiyuan Continent and asked, "Does Senior Brother Nine know about the Buddha Sect? I know very little, and I have hardly dealt with them. ”
Mi Fan nodded and said, "I definitely can't talk about it if I know it very well, but I still know the general situation." Because I used to be a lay disciple of the Buddhist Sect, and later joined the Lingyun Sect for various reasons, hey......"
Li Fei just nodded silently and continued to listen to Mi Fan's story.
Mi Fan continued: "There is no conclusive conclusion on the overall strength of the Buddha Sect, and according to the traditional saying, it is only a little inferior to the name of the Xianyuan Sect. However, since Buddhism has always concentrated on cultivation and does not like to fight, its true strength may be stronger. ”
Li Fei said: "Do you think this kind of avalanche technique is not like it was made by Buddhism?"
Mi Fan shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. It stands to reason that although it is located in a remote area, it should not be easy to completely conceal the Buddhist sect. After all, to become a super sect, in addition to strong strength, the collection of various information is also indispensable. ”
Li Fei said a little unwillingly: "Since we are here, it is impossible to give up halfway, we have to go in and have a look anyway, but we have to be more careful, if things can't be done, just leave immediately." ”
Mi Fan Hao said angrily: "In this kind of underground environment, our strength is not bad, not to mention anything else, the boss's strength can be fully utilized." If there is a benefit, as long as the opponent is not too perverted, we must be shared!"
Li Fei said with a smile: "That's it, you can't let others get all the things that have no owner!"
"There's no eyebrows yet, you're just here to discuss the treasures, isn't it too early?" Yue'er suddenly came out and teased.
Li Fei introduced the situation outside again and concluded: "We have to find the entrance as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late, and it is estimated that by then, there will be nothing inside." ”
Yue'er said angrily: "These people are too ruthless, they went in first, and they filled in the valley! We didn't know the specific location before, but now it's very troublesome to find." ”
Li Fei said a little helplessly: "No way, I've been busy all the time, I already knew about this place, but I didn't stop by until now." Of course, it's also because my strength is too poor......"
The three of them then discussed some of the circumstances of the search, as well as some of the changes and countermeasures that they might encounter after entering.
After resting until dawn, Yue'er and Mi Fan continued to hide into the ice to search.
Near evening, the Antarctic Ice Dragon came out of the edge of the sub-key area and fed back the information to Li Fei, which made Li Fei very happy, because the Antarctic Ice Dragon had already found the entrance and reserved the passage all the way.
Li Fei was overjoyed, and after recovering the Antarctic Ice Dragon, he left a mark in place and burrowed into the ice cave.
Because the Antarctic Ice Dragon had made a passage the size of a zhang, it didn't take long for Li Fei to reach the entrance.
In addition to the collapsed ice, the thickness of the ice that originally attached to the mountain was beyond Li Fei's imagination, and it was as thick as 100 zhang! The entrance was a natural rock crack, and a small part of the solid ice had been emptied by the Antarctic ice dragon when it was discovered.
At the end of the passage is a stone wall that is close to nature, and it is difficult to see that this stone wall can be moved if it were not for the obvious traces of movement on both sides.
Li Fei surveyed and did not find the existence of spiritual power fluctuations and prohibitions, but for the sake of prudence, he did not rush to open the stone wall, but waited for Yue'er and Mi Fan to arrive.
Half an hour later, after a small collapse sounded, Yue'er and Mi Fan rushed over.
Mi Fan just looked at it roughly, put his hands on the stone wall, let out a tiger roar, and pushed it upwards hard! After a low sound, the stone wall slowly rose upward.
Seeing that a few feet of distance were exposed below, Li Fei and Yue'er drilled over in a flash, and Mi Fan also immediately drilled in, and the stone wall quickly returned to its original state.
The moment he entered, Li Fei had already probed, and there was no danger nearby, so he casually took out a large strong flashlight to illuminate the passage.
Although Li Fei and the others are powerful and don't care about the darkness, they still feel a lot better to be able to illuminate the passage.
Li Fei also noticed that on the ground of the passage, there were no traces of people walking, and it remained in a primitive state, and reminded: "The people who entered before us should all have entered by flying above the Dan period, so they did not leave any traces in the passage." ”
The three of them walked more than 100 zhang in the rugged passage and came to a half-collapsed space. Judging by the scattered rocks and the small amount of ice, it is not a recent cause, but a long time ago.
After some searching, the three found three narrow passages of different sizes in the rubble. After exploring separately, the three of them found that these three passages were all misguided paths with traps, but they were not very powerful, so they did not waste much time.
In the end, it took the three of them another half an hour to discover that the real passage was located a few feet away from the passage before entering the half-collapsed space, which was extremely hidden.
