Chapter 557: Entering the Ancient City
......
The three of them walked cautiously along the rock wall of the mountain road, and in less than two quarters of an hour, they began to encounter a large number of demon beasts entrenched in the valley, and Yi Ting could only stop for a while to discuss with Liu Xinyu and Qian'er Chuanyin.
"It seems that the army is completely blocked here, and there must be monsters around the entrance, and it will definitely take a lot of effort to sneak into it quietly. Yi Ting said with some nerve-wracking.
"Do you have any good methods?" Liu Xinyu is not familiar with the abilities of Yi Ting and Qian'er, actual combat ability and hidden hiding are completely different things, she herself has some means to avoid the eyes and ears of demon beasts, but she is not completely sure.
"I have refined a few pseudo-hidden talismans in the past few days, just in case, but the pseudo-hidden talismans are not hidden talismans refined according to the ancient recipe, they can only hide their body shapes, but they can't avoid the glance of the monk's spiritual sense, but if there is no innate demon beast, maybe there is still a chance to sneak into the ancient city without disturbing the demon beast, and the biggest problem left is how to cover up the breath on our body. ”
The ancient recipe of the Hidden Talisman collected by Yi Ting still lacks the last main raw material, so it can only refine the six-grade pseudo-Hidden Talisman, which has almost no effect on the Terran monks, but the acquired demon beasts are not used to using spiritual sense, so there is still a good chance to avoid their vigilance.
However, although the demon beast does not rely on spiritual sense, it is very sensitive to the breath and taste of the monk, so if this problem cannot be solved, the result will still be easy to be discovered by the demon beast group.
Yi Ting has a hidden qi trick that can cover up the breath and spiritual sense, and Qian'er's hidden dragon secret technique, which consumes true qi and is only suitable for actual combat, as for Liu Xinyu, Yi Ting knows that she also has a secret technique that is not weaker than the hidden qi technique, but whether it is equally effective for demon beasts, Yi Ting has no way of knowing.
However, when Liu Xinyu heard this, he immediately said happily: "That's great, I just have a few eight-rank 'breath amulets' that hide the breath on my body, and with your hidden talisman, the demon beasts below the acquired realm should not be able to discover our existence." ”
These two kinds of talismans have their own characteristics, and when used together, the effect is just complementary to each other, but although the pseudo-concealment talisman is not difficult to refine, it cannot shield the spiritual sense and breath, and for the Terran monks, it is equivalent to chicken ribs, so there will be no talisman master to spend effort to refine, but it is even rarer than the eight-grade breath talisman.
And unexpectedly, Yi Ting himself could refine the pseudo-hidden talisman, but it was only a recent thing that he started to make the eight-grade talisman, and he only wanted to refine the real hidden talisman, but he ignored such a thing as a breath talisman.
But now that the problem has been solved, even if they encounter the existence of demon beasts in the innate realm, as long as they use their own hidden secret methods and be a little more careful, there should be no more problems.
Then, each of them cast two talismans, a breath talisman and a pseudo-hidden talisman, and began to sneak over the heads of the demon beast army towards the entrance of the ancient tomb.
After about two hours, they finally found the entrance to the ancient tomb ruins, but the three of them suddenly felt a little speechless, the entire entrance was simply crowded by the group of demon beasts, even if the effect of the hidden talisman on the body was strong, and even with the secret techniques such as the hidden qi trick and the hidden dragon, it couldn't blatantly pass through a large group of demon beasts, right?
The air flow caused by the light is enough to make the demon beasts notice the abnormality, as long as a few of the demon beasts deliberately search, the whereabouts of the three will be immediately exposed, and at that time, nearly ten thousand demon beasts will wave their claws casually, even if they are strong, they will be torn into pieces in an instant.
And what's worse is that there are already so many demon beasts at the entrance, what about the inside?
The three of them could see that the entrance to this ancient city could not have been exposed unguardedly as it is now, and it must have been too long since the phantom array and protective array covering the entrance had failed, so it would be discovered and invaded by the demon beast army.
Moreover, there is no doubt that this place has become the main stronghold of the demon clan to control the beast tide to attack Hengyan Pass, and I am afraid that there will be an army of nearly one million demon beasts gathered in it, so do the three of them still want to sneak into it to find treasure and opportunity?
Yi Ting and the others are not afraid that after this place is occupied by demon beasts, resources or treasures will be swept away, because the entire Gu Xiu family's area is too large, and the important building facilities must be much more tightly protected than the entrance, so the demon beasts can't go too deep, at most, they have explored one-fifth of the entire clan land, and they are all semi-open areas, so there shouldn't be too precious things in them.
So the three of them didn't want to give up easily, and finally after being silent for half an hour, Liu Xinyu took the lead in coming up with an idea.
"Or, let's go find the exit of the escape tunnel, although it must be completely closed to the outside, but to break it open, at least it is more likely than breaking through this group of demon beasts?"
Hearing this, Yi Ting's eyes lit up, he had thought about trying other entrances on the map, but they were quite far away from here, and they were not clearly marked on the big map, so he could only guess the general direction and location according to the construction map of the clan's land.
However, although the exit of the escape tunnel is also extremely secret, the number of them is much more than the four main entrances and exits, and the nearest one is only more than ten miles away from this gate, and it should not be near the mountain road, so it can avoid the demon beasts to search carefully.
Escape exits are naturally highly secrecy and often blend in with their surroundings, but once you can determine the approximate location, it is not difficult to find.
Because the link points outside the passage must be arranged with small shifting formations, so that the monks inside can be teleported out quickly and quietly, but under the deliberate search of Yi Ting, a three-rank peak formation mage, it is not difficult to detect the fluctuations in the formation.
In this way, not only is there no high risk of passing through the demon beast army, but once you enter it through the escape tunnel, not only will you not encounter any traps and ambushes, but the passage extends in all directions, and you can also go directly into the core area of this ancient tomb.
Yi Ting couldn't help but show admiration, and said approvingly: "Good idea, let's go to the nearest escape exit immediately and search carefully!"
......
After the three of them left the main mountain path full of demon beasts, their speed increased unably, and in less than half an hour, they came to the possible location of the presumed escape exit.
However, since it is called the Ground Fissure Valley, it is naturally full of cliffs and bald rocks, almost no grass, and when viewed from above, the whole land is covered with spider web-like fissures, criss-crossed, once you enter it, it is easy to get lost, like a natural labyrinth.
Of course, for high-level monks who can float into the sky, they will not be trapped in this natural labyrinth, but the problem is that the images are similar everywhere, and it is a little difficult to find some peculiarities.
Yi Ting had no other better way to do it, but to infiltrate his spiritual sense into the cliff for a few zhang or so, and then sense whether there were faint fluctuations in the magic circle in small pieces of place.
The small moving circles outside these escape passages can run for a much longer time than the magic array of the gate, because the small moving circle only consumes a lot of energy when it is used, but the magic array and the defensive circle at the entrance of the gate must be operated from time to time, and in the case of no one to maintain and replenish the energy, of course, it will lose its effect relatively quickly.
However, how long this ancient tomb has existed, Yi Ting and Liu Xinyu really can't tell, even if the small shifting circle has not been used, the energy will slowly dissipate, so it is really unknown whether it will stop due to the exhaustion of energy.
Fortunately, after Yi Ting glanced at the mountain wall within a radius of nearly half a mile, he found the exit of the escape route. It easily shattered the rock wall of the mountain that was used for concealment on the outside, revealing a protective circle that was almost about to dissipate, and even the grade was no longer visible.
Yi Ting took out the eight-rank long knife and swung it with all his might, and with a stroke of 'Vientiane Yanyi', the protective array was directly broken, and then the three of them quickly rushed into it, while Yi Ting turned around and rearranged a simple protective array at the exit, after all, it is not known whether there will be danger in the passage, and if an enemy enters through this exit, the three of them will fall into the extreme danger of retreating without a way.
......
After about half a mile of progress, the passage began to fork in the road, but the three of them had a complete map of the tunnel, so they naturally chose the underground passage to the depths of the core without the slightest hesitation.
However, after walking about half a mile, the front of the passage was blocked by a solid energy array wall, and after trying to bombard it a few times, the three of them gave up brute force to break the formation.
This is a one-way passage blocking array, the simplest, but also the most effective protective formation, should be the entire core area of the ancient city is covered by a large formation, the formation nodes are not in the passage at all, except for brute force breakthrough, there is no other way to break the formation.
Yi Ting and the others had to go around to other forks in the road, but after walking for a while, they were also blocked by the magic circle wall.
"It seems that this is a protective measure to avoid entering the core area through the outer passages, and only after returning to the ground from the outer passages can you have a chance to find the flaws in the magic circle and enter the core area of the ancient city. Yi Ting sighed and said.
"Dive back to the surface and see how it goes. "Liu Xinyu and Qian'er have no better way, the only choice is to go back to the ground first.
The three of them turned around and walked through the outer passage of the ancient city, while Yi Ting fell into a state of contemplation as he walked, and Liu Xinyu and Qian'er did not care, because there was indeed no other danger in the passage except for the magic circle barrier that blocked the way.
But in fact, Yi Ting and the Ice Emperor in the Sea of Knowledge were communicating with each other, and they were in extreme shock: "You mean...... This entire ancient city is actually a complete space spirit weapon!!".
