Chapter 157: Ancient Cultivation Room
These desert monster insects, with one eye, also flashed a strange blue light, maybe their eyesight is not too good, they can't see too far away, they are circling around, obviously relying on their sense of smell to sense, but there are a lot of smells here, so they can't confirm the smell of Ye Xing and others.
But soon, the throwing knife, which had not been recovered, was surrounded by strange insects in the sand, sniffing and screaming from time to time.
The four of Ye Xing thought that these strange insects might be like this, so they didn't worry too much, just stared at the group of evil and ugly insects in silence.
But obviously not, soon, these strange insects began to swim towards the location of the old city wall where Ye Xing and the others were standing, and they crawled in the direction of Ye Xing with great agility, it can be seen that the strange insects quickly recognized Ye Xing's scent from the flying knife and confirmed that Ye Xing was the murderer.
In the dark night, a few strange insects suddenly bounced into the air and flew towards Ye Xing.
Ye Xing waved his right hand, several silver needles flew out, and he heard a squeaky scream, and a few strange insects fell, but soon, more strange insects bounced.
Ye Xing only said, "Go!" The four jumped off the old city wall, ran towards the outside of the city, and soon stopped more than ten miles away, and the two eagles were already in mid-air, and soon came to the place where the four stopped.
Qin Xinyue was a little scared and said, "These things are really disgusting, why did you run just now, it's better to set them on fire and burn them to death!" ”
Qi Ming nodded and said, "Mom, these strange insects are really powerful, they can actually confirm the master's hand!" ”
Ye Xingdao, "I don't have a lot of silver needles, so I won't have them if I use them!" There is no need to set fire, after all, we are also passing by, but we have to find the 3 horses when the day dawns, otherwise, it won't be a few days, and the horses will die here! ”
Qin Jingxuan said, "It's almost dawn, look at these strange insects may be inactive during the day." The number may not be too much, and if there were a lot, we would have been surrounded long ago. ”
There was yellow sand as far as the eye could see, and the four of them didn't dare to lie down and rest anymore, and there was nowhere to go, so they had to stand.
Ye Xing let go of his divine sense, scanned the vicinity over and over again, and found nothing special, but when he was on the city wall just now, he vaguely felt a trace of divine consciousness staring at him, so he quickly left.
After leaving the ancient city for a few miles, Ye Xing felt that the trace of extremely weak divine sense was gone, and now more than ten miles away, there should be no danger.
Ye Xing suspected that those strange insects were commanded by that divine sense, otherwise the extremely small heads of the strange insects would not have such wisdom.
The four of them stood in the lee like this, chatting quietly, and paying full attention to the situation around them, the wind and sand were very strong.
Ye Xing unfolded his coat and exerted his internal force to form a small barrier, blocking the wind and sand, allowing the three of them to stand on his side.
After chatting, it was dawn, the wind was light, and there was no flying dust, Ye Xing took out some water and dry food, and the four of them gnawed like this.
The three of them were very happy all the way, it was a wonderful trip like a vacation, and now there was a bit of a bleak feeling.
Until the sky was completely bright, and the sun was already shining on the lonely ancient city, the four of them slowly walked back to the ancient city, wanting to take a closer look at the entire ancient city, and also to find the three horses.
Returning to the city wall where they stayed last night, the four of them did not dare to go down into the sand, so they stood on the wall and looked inside.
The four of them were shocked to find that the dead horse was gone, the bones were gone, and the blood in the sand was gone.
If the monster worm was a blood-sucker, then it should have left the horse's corpse, but now it's all gone, and there is only one possibility, that is, those monster worms ate all the horses, not even the bones left.
It's a terrible strange insect, the number may actually be huge, and if it doesn't come out during the day, it may be afraid of light.
Ye Xing unfolded his divine sense, enveloping the entire ancient city, without any powerful aura, and there was no aura of strange insects in the vicinity, the wind and sand overnight, all the scenes of the ground that had changed, and the three horses were gone.
Ye Xing's divine sense contacted the two eagles to check the three horses in the air, and as a result, the two eagles sent information that they did not find it, but the two eagles made a discovery in the air, it was the ancient city and there was a strange place, what it was, the two eagles couldn't understand.
Ye Xing stood on the old city wall and observed it for a while, and then took a closer look at the entire ancient city with a telescope, in the direction indicated by the two eagles, in the telescope, he saw a ruined palace, which was obviously once an extremely luxurious place, although all the buildings were gone, but the jade and white stones on the ground were sure to be extremely extravagant.
Ye Xing concentrated all his divine consciousness and extended it, and the location was probably the northwest corner of the ancient city, where the divine consciousness was hindered and could not be scanned anymore, and that was the place where he felt protected by the formation last night.
Ye Xing said to the three of them solemnly, "Let's go over there, the two birds have found something, but you have to hold the weapon and be completely careful." ”
For several years, Ye Xing basically didn't speak in such a tone, and the three of them were all stunned, but they immediately understood that Ye Xing's cautious appearance showed that the place he was going to was indeed unclear, and they all nodded yes.
The four of them carried out light exercises, and also let go of their divine senses, and swept in that direction.
The whole city was full of sand, all in ruins, there was not a single intact building at all, on each building, Ye Xing did a simple investigation, and found nothing.
Soon came to the location of the ancient imperial city identified by Ye Xing, and the two eagles were fixed above this ground.
The wall of the imperial city was also broken, jumped on the wall and looked inside, and the four of them found that there was a little green here, a small patch of grass, and sure enough, there was a bit of something special here, at least there was very little groundwater, otherwise it would be impossible to grow grass.
Ye Xing walked slowly along the wall, sensing while looking, and sure enough, he found that it was in the nearby underground, where there was a place to block the divine sense, generally Ye Xing's divine consciousness could faintly go three feet underground, but this obstacle was two feet underground.
Ye Xing jumped off the wall, walked to the place where there was a blocking divine sense, took out a shovel, and began to shovel sand, the three of them thought about helping, Ye Xing stopped, "Pay attention to the situation around, don't come down!" ”
Ye Xing's hands and feet were very fast, and after removing a foot of yellow sand, the roof of a building was revealed, and soon, Ye Xing accelerated the progress, and after half an hour, the roof of this small building was all revealed, and it turned out to be a lot of glazed tiles, which was extremely luxurious.
Ye Xing looked inside from the glazed tiles and found that there was no sand inside, this small building was not big and was a small room, but because it was intact, it was not damaged.
Ye Xing wanted to reach out to uncover it, but found that there was a small force blocking his hand, Ye Xingqiang stretched out his hand hard, but he still touched the tile, and the small force blocking was useless.
Ye Xing uncovered a few tiles, looked inside, and found that there was a futon inside, and there was nothing inside, but it was extremely clean, probably because of the protection of the formation, the sand and dust could not enter.
Ye Xing uncovered more tiles and jumped inside.
Because there is light, it is very bright, and it can be seen very clearly inside, it is a small cultivation room, and the design and use of this protective formation are painted on the walls around it.
Ye Xing has studied the formation for a month, and he also understands a little, the formation is to demarcate an interval with a kind of energy, so that it will not be invaded, and it generally requires great energy.
But this formation is different from the formation with the old man Zhang last time, the old man used the mechanism design and some poison to achieve the formation, it was just a real physical isolation, and this is a formation supported by spirit stones, and the purpose should be to isolate the divine consciousness.
It is certain that this is a place for cultivation, so it is to isolate the divine sense, Ye Xing quickly copied this formation with a pen and paper, maybe it will be useful in the future.
Ye Xing picked up the futon and found that there was a trap under the futon, opened the trap, and found that there was a very small hole underneath, only a few feet in size, with a small cloth bag.
Ye Xing picked up the small cloth bag and found that it contained something, but it couldn't be opened.
After thinking about it, Ye Xing tried it with his divine sense, and sure enough, his divine sense entered it and found that it was a space bag, which was very small, with a few books and a dozen small stones, full of aura.
Ye Xing immediately decided that this was a spirit stone, although he had never owned a spirit stone, he still understood.
After searching again, but finding nothing more, Ye Xing put the futon and the small cloth bag into the space ring and jumped out.
Ye Xing put all the tiles as they were, and soon the blocking power of divine consciousness was there again, not big, but it was still working.
This ancient cultivation room has not been destroyed, it is entirely because of the protection of the formation, but under the protection of the formation, the spirit stone will be consumed, and the extremely weak protection power now also means that the formation support spirit stone will be exhausted, and it will not be long before everything will be destroyed in the yellow sand.
Ye Xing used a shovel to pull back the yellow sand a little, still letting it lightly cover under the yellow sand, and there was no sand several feet thick to protect it.
