Chapter 200: Extreme Cold
Soon, the grotto was opened, and a group of people holding large and small luminous crystals surrounded Xu Chen and followed the elder in.
The cave had probably not been entered for countless years, so it was filled with a palpitating cold and rotten aura, and the sound of kicking and walking echoed through the silence of the cave, making everyone's scalp tingle.
Even Feng Zhao and a group of the strongest men of the tribe were cautious one by one, and they didn't dare to come out.
When there is danger, the old witch master is the tribe's anchor and hope.
But when there is no danger, the sleeping old witch master is the most dangerous existence.
Even if he continued to decay in his slumber, it was not something that ordinary warriors with low strength could easily provoke and contend with.
"Feng Zhao, Feng Xing, and Feiyi followed in, and everyone else stayed here for the time being!"
After about two hundred zhang of walking down, a heavy stone gate appeared in front of me, and a large number of lines and strange runes were carved on the stone door.
Stopping outside the stone gate, the elder issued an order, so most of the people who came with him stayed.
The elder stepped forward and pressed his hands on a few runes in the center of the stone gate, constantly impacting with the power of a powerful divine soul, and soon, an obscure aura on the stone gate began to fluctuate, and after lasting for more than ten breaths, suddenly a large number of runes on the stone gate flashed red light, and the heavy stone gate was slowly pushed away.
"After entering, everyone should take precautions, the old witch master has been sleeping for too long, and his body and soul have begun to decay, I am afraid that some dangerous borers and poisons will grow, and once they enter the body, it will be troublesome!" The elder reminded solemnly with his divine sense.
Xu Chen, Feng Feiyi and the others all nodded seriously.
Soon, only a group of five people remained into the stone gate, and in front of it was a long alleyway, but it turned into a continuous downward staircase.
There was a thick black gas inside, although it was not as rich as the outside, but it was even more gloomy, as if a living creature was about to penetrate through the thousands of pores of its body.
The elder always exuded a strong soul power that pushed away the black qi, and the tight leather clothes on Feng Feiyi and the others also flashed with a faint red light, isolating this layer of black mist.
Xu Chen also didn't dare to be careless, and released his body protection vitality, not to mention, his divine sense also shrouded the nearby ten zhang distance, vigilantly observing the surrounding situation.
But even so, this pervasive cold still made him very frightened.
An adult veteran whose strength is comparable to that of a fifth-order underworld beast or a True Spirit Realm powerhouse, even if he dies, it is not something that a scum monk of the True Yuan Realm Dan Yuan Realm can easily provoke.
Just like a monk in the True Spirit Realm, even if the physical body completely collapses, the Yuan Shen who has grown up can get out of the body, release almost all the power of the body, and the sky will collapse under one blow, and the radius of hundreds of miles will turn into powder.
As long as this old witch master is not completely dead for a day, then his undissipated divine soul may send out terrifying attack power at any time.
What's more, these desolate natives are all cultivating divine souls, and the power of divine souls is only stronger than that of the great cultivators of the True Spirit Realm.
The strength of the soul beast is not in the body, but in the strange divine soul attack, which is difficult for monks of the same level to resist.
Just like Yiyun Zhenren and Xuanhe Zhenren were defeated by that octopus soul beast in the Five Elements Great Array, if it was just an ordinary third-order mid-to-late stage demon beast, the monks in the early stage of the Danyuan Realm had powerful magic weapons and spells, and the chance of victory was still very high, even if they couldn't win, they could almost get out of the way.
But the two powerhouses of the Dan Yuan Realm were completely defeated in front of that soul beast with one move, and if they couldn't be treated, they were afraid that they would fall on the spot.
Moreover, the more high-level soul beasts are, the strength of the divine soul is equivalent to that of a monk of the same level, and the enhancement will be doubled.
The cultivators of the True Yuan Realm were almost unable to deal with second-order soul beasts.
And the monks of the Dan Yuan Realm were basically completely unable to deal with the third-order soul beasts.
This is the most uncomfortable place for soul beasts in the immortal interface.
This time, the five of them walked down for a full moment, and according to Xu Chen's estimate, they had probably gone deep into the bottom of the mountain for at least two miles.
Locking an almost dead old guy alone in such a deep cave shows that the Wind Clan has also spent a great price, and they have also maintained enough care and caution.
"It's coming soon, be careful, everyone!"
The elder reminded him again with his divine sense, and then pushed open a heavy stone door, and a stone hall appeared in front of him, artificially excavated, the top walls of the four walls were neatly and neatly, and there were some glowing crystals, although they were not particularly bright, but they could also make people see the situation inside clearly at a glance.
There are four stone chambers excavated on each side of the stone hall, and a pitch-black sarcophagus is placed in each stone chamber.
The entire stone hall was filled with an extremely cold and decaying aura, making the gods and souls feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave for hundreds of millions of years, and the cold people couldn't help but shiver.
There were wisps of black mist, suspended in the air like thick ink, condensed above each coffin, looking extremely strange.
Other than that, there was nothing left in the entire stone hall.
Everyone looked at these coffins very nervously, Feng Feiyi even squeezed tightly behind Xu Chen, and Xu Chen, whose heart was pounding, felt that his head was constantly vibrating.
However, Xu Chen didn't have the intention of paying attention to others at this time, but clenched his fists, his eyes were like torches, he endured the cold and fear all over his body, and carefully let go of his divine sense to carefully observe these coffins.
There are a total of eight coffins, and each coffin has criss-crossing lines and various runes, obviously the same as the stone gate and the divine blood pool, this is an ancient formation, and it must also have the ability to shield the divine soul and seal.
"What is stored in these sarcophagi is our most powerful warrior of the Wind Clan, each of which is comparable to the most powerful Underworld beast in the Underworld Wasteland, but unfortunately it has been dormant for too long, and none of them can wake up again."
The elder's sighing voice sounded in Xu Chen's mind.
Xu Chen's eyes fell on one of the coffins, and his fingers transmitted, "Is the old witch master sleeping there?" ”
Although all the coffins were condensed with a black gas as thick as ink, the black gas of that coffin was the thickest, and the breath was the most cold, even if he only touched the coffin with his divine sense, he felt as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast.
The elder nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's the old witch master's sleeping sarcophagus, let's go over and take a look!" ”
After speaking, the elder took the lead and walked towards the sarcophagus, and Xu Chen and the others also hurriedly followed silently.
Soon, the five of them arrived in the stone room, and looked at the huge pitch-black sarcophagus from a close distance, the extremely cold aura that made people palpitate was even stronger, as if there was a 10,000-year-old corpse in the sarcophagus, which could open the coffin at any time and jump out to choose someone to eat.
"I open the coffin now, you should be careful, don't release too strong divine soul aura to stimulate the old witch master, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen!"
The elder reminded solemnly again, and after seeing everyone nodding, he pressed his hands on the coffin lid and released a billowing divine soul aura.
The coffin began to release violent divine soul fluctuations, and soon the lines and runes on the coffin lid began to shine slightly, and finally as the elder pushed forward with both hands, the coffin lid slowly slid open.
In the coffin, there was a black gas as thick as ink.
When the divine sense penetrated into it, it was completely like falling into a pool of cold water that had been frozen for hundreds of millions of years, and in an instant, the dantian meridian and the sea of consciousness began to pile up black ice edges.
Such a strong erosion of the dark qi was the first time Xu Chen had encountered it.
However, his feelings were obviously much stronger than those of the Wind Clan, and although Feng Feiyi and the others were also full of panic and nervousness at this time, they seemed to be much more familiar with this cold aura, and their resistance was much stronger.
Xu Chen's consciousness continued to penetrate deeper into the bottom of the coffin, and finally he saw an old man who was naked and thin like a dried corpse, his hair had completely fallen out, there was almost no flesh and blood on his body, only a piece of dry skin remained, so the head looked like a skeleton and was very terrifying.
However, after observing the divine sense contact from beginning to end for a long time, Xu Chen still vaguely felt a faint breath of life.
The old witch master is indeed not dead.
But this state, I'm afraid, is no different from death.
The most important thing is that the skin of this old coffin is dark and cold, and the incomparably cold aura accumulated in the coffin is constantly released from him, except for a faint life fluctuation, he almost can't feel any human breath and characteristics at all.
As the elder said, this old witch master has been eroded by the spirit of the underworld, and the blood poison has completely decayed the body, and now there is only a dry shell left, which has no value.
"It's terrible, I didn't expect the old witch master to become like this!" Feng Feiyi retreated in horror, and at the same time, a surprised voice sounded in Xu Chen's mind.
After Feng Zhao and Feng Xing finished reading it, they also turned pale and whispered.
"What, do you think the old witch master can still be saved?" The Elder's voice asked.
Xu Chen slowly retracted his senses, and said with a serious face: "It's hard to say now, although the old witch lord has been sleeping for a long time, but the breath is still there, as long as there is still a trace of spiritual wisdom, there is still a possibility of awakening, we have a spirit pill in the mortal realm, which can boost the soul and flesh and blood, but I don't dare to experiment on the old witch master, if the elder agrees, I want to go back and test it with other sleeping clansmen, if it is successful, maybe there is a real chance to wake up the old witch master." ”
The elder was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is the best, first use those people who have awakened and have no hope of revival, it doesn't matter whether they live or die, if you can really help save the old witch master, you are the biggest benefactor of our wind clan and even the entire underworld human race, and then all the tribes will accept the call of the old witch lord to help you find a way out." ”
Xu Chen nodded and said, "It's too early to talk about success, let's not disturb the old witch master's sleep for the time being, let's go back first!" ”
"Good, good!" The elder hurriedly closed the lid of the coffin quickly.
With the click of the lid of the coffin closing, the cold aura that was so terrifying that the divine soul and the meridian dantian were frozen were suddenly isolated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
