Volume 1, Taoist Temple in the Mountains Chapter 72 Before the collapse of the underground palace
"Maybe it's time for us to go."
At the moment when Xue Zhongjing made up his mind and was about to make a move.
Ji Ning, who was in front of him, suddenly stopped his figure and said with some emotion.
Xue Zhongjing's movements froze, and he asked with some confusion:
"What?"
"After crossing this bridge, you will reach the exit, and there should be no treasure in this field."
Ji Ning shook his head in silence and said.
According to the clues left by Shen Yu Zhenren before, it can be known that the inheritance of thaumaturgy is in this underground palace, but the specific location has not been marked, but it is only said that it is buried under a raised boulder.
But when he came all the way to this field, he found that there was not a single stone in this great field, not even a broken stone the size of a thumb.
Perhaps, it is because of the changes in the leylines of the earth over the years that the original terrain has disappeared, and no one knows where the thaumaturgy is buried, unless they can hollow out this endless field.
But if you do that, you don't know how many years of energy it will take.
And now they don't have time.
"I know you know something, and if you want to stay here and find a chance, I won't stop you." Ji Ning turned around and looked at Xue Zhongjing with a calm expression, "It's just that I want to remind you that this underground palace is about to collapse, if you don't get out quickly, everyone will die here." ”
"Collapsed?!"
Everyone was stunned and suddenly a little nervous.
Qi Lan also wanted to know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked:
"Isn't this dungeon shrouded in a formation, how could it suddenly collapse?"
"It's very simple, because that large array of energy is flowing at an extremely fast speed."
Ji Ning said with a calm expression.
Since they passed the last level and killed the sword ghost puppet, the large array in this dungeon has automatically escaped, and all of this has been set by Shen Yu Zhenren.
Regarding the inheritance of thaumaturgy, Shen Yu Zhenren believes in fate more, leaving maps and clues, so that future generations can get the inheritance of Futian Sect, which does not mean that he can leave thaumaturgy to future generations.
The energy in this formation is now rapidly dissipating, as evidenced by the puppet beasts that caused trouble in the Desolate Spirit Vein region.
Those failed to be refined by Shen Yu Zhenren using thaumaturgy and were half-demonized, all of which were buried by him in the thick wilderness of the Desolate Spirit Vein, and when they passed the level of the puppet sword ghost and obtained the inheritance of the Futian Sect, the formation was dissolved, the energy escaped outward, and then the group of semi-demonized puppet failed products would wake up.
Those behemoths, although they are failures, are not weak in terms of destructive power.
"Those guys, they're going to level over there, then they're going to level down, and they're going to find a way to level down here and destroy everything they can see."
"And in the end, when they want to go out of the underground and return to the surface through this only way, the formation in this underground palace will self-destruct, causing all the spiritual energy here to explode, and burying everything in this unknown depth."
After Ji Ning finished speaking, he sighed a little heavily.
All of this was designed by Shen Yu Zhenren, and if they had nothing to do with thaumaturgy, then thaumaturgy would be completely buried underground.
The tremors here may not even be noticed by the people on the ground, and I don't know how many years later, with the migration of the leylines, the thaumaturgical inheritance will be rediscovered.
They don't stand a chance.
Ji Ning was a little unwilling, and silently glanced at the surrounding wilderness, but still didn't find any clues, so he looked at Qi Lan, Xue Zhongjing and the others:
"Why, do you want to stay? To be honest, I don't know if this dungeon will collapse according to the pre-set set, so for the sake of insurance, I recommend that you evacuate as soon as possible. ”
When Zhen Xixi heard this, he immediately panicked, grabbed Qi Lan's sleeve a little nervously, and said fearfully: "
"Then let's go quickly, I don't know what else you said there is here, but we have already obtained a lot of treasures on this trip, it should be enough!"
Qi Lan didn't hesitate, mumbled, and then set his eyes on Xue Zhongjing's body, his eyes narrowed.
Although Ji Ning didn't tell him about thaumaturgy, the old man told him all the stories of Shen Yu's real people.
So it is obvious that Ji Ning and Xue Zhongjing have known this for a long time, and the former obviously knows much more than the latter.
But Ji Ning is not the kind of greedy person, the purpose of his trip has never been the thaumaturgy that can make people ascend to the sky in one step and become the strongest in the puppet art line, but Xue Zhongjing is not necessarily.
Although he has gained a lot along the way, compared to the rest of them, what he has obtained is not worth mentioning.
But none of this mattered, the important thing was that if Xue Zhongjing decided to leave and no longer look for thaumaturgy, then their trouble might come, because with his understanding of the latter, Xue Zhongjing would not have given up so easily.
He's definitely thinking of taking some earth-shattering chance away from here.
If it wasn't thaumaturgy, Xue Zhongjing might have to do something to them.
"Okay."
At this time, Xue Zhongjing raised his head with a light smile, slowly walked a few steps forward, looked at the cold iron cable in front of him, subconsciously shivered, and said with a sigh:
"Since there is no chance, then leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause accidents."
As he spoke, he set his gaze on the Desolate Spirit Vein Wasteland opposite.
The cultivators there seemed to be still struggling, the sound of swords and sword shadows did not stop for a moment like dense raindrops, and all kinds of magical Dao methods emerged one after another, piercing the clouds and mist in wisps.
Those failed monster puppet beasts, without any intelligence, although powerful, it is difficult to kill everyone in a short period of time.
But that doesn't mean the people in there can rebel.
In a limited space, even if a cat can't catch a mouse for a while, a mouse can't be a match for a cat.
Just when Ji Ning nodded and wanted to take the lead to walk across the iron-locked suspension bridge in front of him.
"Hey! Help us! ”
On the edge of the cliff of the Desolate Spirit Vein Wasteland opposite, a familiar and terrible cry suddenly came.
Bang!
Suddenly, an extremely strong wind and waves blew through, and all the clouds and mist in the sky were violently blown away, and the vision in the space instantly became clear.
Everyone was stunned, only to see that on the opposite side of the cliff, on the edge of the desolate spirit vein wasteland, there was a group of people crawling.
Their clothes were in tatters, and there were blood stains all over their bodies, although their vision was clear, Ji Ning and the others couldn't see what everyone looked like at all, because they were all missing arms and legs.
In front of everyone, there was a fallen puppet beast, and the monstrous wind and waves were set up by the reason for his fall.
And the puppet beast was killed by another crazy puppet, the two of them were red-eyed, and at this moment both were defeated, and the other giant puppet had already discovered the crowd on the edge of the cliff, so he wanted to come over, but his limbs were all broken, and he could only let out an angry roar.
It may not be long before other puppet beasts will come here and kill him first, and then the people on the cliffside.
So, Jiang Hailiu, who was hiding on the side of the cliff, was frightened, and when everyone was just discussing that they wanted to go out and fight to the death, they found that there were people on the other side of the mountain!
If you take a closer look, it turns out to be Ji Ning and them!
"Commander, Qi Lan, I'm Jiang Hailiu, you guys quickly find a way to save me!"
"River and sea current?!"
When Ji Ning and the others heard this, they looked at each other, obviously stunned.
Although they couldn't see the appearance of the ragged man clearly, they were still very familiar with Jiang Hailiu's voice, when they were in the underground palace before, the latter had shouted at them like this more than once, and now when they heard it again, they actually had some cordiality.
"I didn't expect to meet here."
Qi Lan turned around, a cold smile on his face.
He had already said that he was going to find an opportunity to kill Jiang Hailiu, this kid had been harassing him during his retreat before, which made him uneasy, but he didn't expect that there would be so many changes in this underground palace in the future, many people died, and Jiang Hailiu, a waste, was still alive!
Qi Lan ...... Qi Lan! I was wrong, please forgive me and save me! ”
At this moment, Jiang Hailiu didn't have any temper at all, he stood on the edge of the cliff, crying and shouting at Ji Ning's side, and the other people around him were also desperately shouting as if they had seen a life-saving straw, crying out of breath.
Those puppets were so brutal that even if all their teams of monks in the Desolate Spirit Vein united to resist, they were broken through the line in an instant, and then they could only scatter and flee.
After some entanglement day and night, it is estimated that there are no more than 100 people who can survive in this wasteland.
Among them is the river and sea current.
The fourth leader of the Imperial Dragon Adventure Group was also seriously injured, and he looked at Ji Ning and the others on the other side with a moving face, he had already lost his previous demeanor, and shouted in a trembling voice:
"Brothers, find a way to save us, after I go out, I will definitely report to the head of the Huangfu Dragon, and ask him to give you an official rank, and I will definitely not treat you badly!"
"Brother Qi Lan, I'm your good brother Junior! Help us! ”
In the crowd, countless people spoke at the same time, and their voices became extremely noisy.
Qi Lan looked at the crowd on the other side, and could vaguely recognize a few familiar faces, those were his brothers who had died before, and he once wanted to follow him and choose the Desolate Spirit Vein, but in the end he changed his mind.
Do you want him to save these people?
When he was struggling, he didn't expect Ji Ning next to him to pat him on the shoulder.
"Let's go."
Ji Ning looked at Qi Lan and said calmly.
In fact, he had a way to save it, and in the map left by Shen Yu Zhenren, the rules and principles in this last space were described in detail.
Not only the cultivators in the Desolate Spirit Vein area, as long as they are willing, maybe everyone in the Ice and Fire Spirit Vein and the main Spirit Vein will have a chance to be saved.
However, if they do that, they will waste a lot of time and even risk their own lives.
Qi Lan looked at Ji Ning's eyes, was silent for a long time, and then sighed.
"Okay."
