Chapter 19: The Crypt
What's going on?
Wang Lung quickly looked around, and didn't find any figures at all, could it be that he was dazzled, this thought was only strangled at the moment it appeared, because he saw that the stubble that had been collected by the worry-free fruit was still there.
Wrong!
With a strong foot, Wang Lung soared into the air, his body soared into the sky, and the height of the rise was more than 100 meters, and he could look down from the sky, but still nothing was found, and Wang Lung's mood began to tense.
Without making any stops, Wang Lung quickly ran in the direction of the aircraft, and a flying body flew directly into the interior of the aircraft.
"Search for signs of life in the immediate area. A command came from Wang Lung's mouth.
After receiving the command, the main control system of the aircraft immediately took itself as the center and began to scan around, and in just a moment, Wang Lung gave the command again.
"Stop!"
How can this be that there is no one in that place, what the hell is going on?
As soon as the detection of signs of life on the aircraft began, the area covered was one kilometer, but within this kilometer, Wang Lung soon found that the black demon snake demon was still staying in place, this discovery made Wang Lung very puzzled, he was standing in that place just now, there was no figure, but now it was ......
Before Wang Lung's doubts could be fully understood, he saw the red dot on the display gradually become blurred.
I see, Wang Lung already knows what is going on, and the other party is still in place, but this place refers to below the surface, because the detection system of the aircraft can only go 100 meters deep underground, beyond this range, it cannot be displayed, and the red dot just now became blurred, which made him suddenly realize.
Underground, how did the other party go down, there is no entrance to that place at all. Even if it's too late to dig a hole, there must be something strange about it.
After knowing where the black snake demon was hiding, Wang Lung was no longer so anxious, although he didn't know how the other party went deep underground, but now that he knew the Dao, it would be easy to do. Just find out where the hole is and you can catch up.
Estimating the time of the outbreak of the bat tide, Wang Lung did not leave the aircraft, but lifted the aircraft into the air, and in five minutes, the next wave of bat tide will pass through here, and he will hide for a while.
Wang Long, who was hiding in the flying machine, was not idle, but was thinking about how to get what he needed from the hands of the black demon snake demon.
What kind of miraculous effect does the thousand-year-old worry-free fruit contain, Wang Lung is not clear, and there is no description of this in the "Pharmacopoeia" provided by the old ghost. However, Wang Lung believed that the Sanssouci Fruit was not exactly what was described in the Pharmacopoeia, and that there must be something special about it, which could be understood from the expectant eyes of the Black Evil Snake Demon.
A cultivator from an alien planet stayed in the Green Plains Star when the bat tide broke out, and the goal was still a thousand years of worry-free fruit, what was this for, Wang Lung still didn't understand. But he believes the answer will soon be available.
Worry-free fruit is easy to find. But when the year reached a thousand years, Wang Lung only found this one, but unfortunately, it has now fallen into her hands, and if you want to get it, you have to pay a little price.
Wang Lung didn't want to do it, it wasn't that he was afraid of the other party. But there are some concerns, he doesn't know how the other party cultivates, and he doesn't understand why he is stationed in a place to collect a thousand years of worry-free fruit, if it can be resolved peacefully, it is the best, and it is really not too late to snatch it again.
According to Wang Lung's plan. He had to explore at least three grasslands a day, and if he fought with the Black Demon Snake Demon, it would be difficult to control the time, and if he delayed it for too long, it would definitely have an impact on his plans.
Let's not talk about the fight, how to enter the hidden underground cave, Wang Lung has no clue now, he can be sure of one thing, that is, the black demon snake demon will definitely set up a formation to cover the entrance of the cave, if the defense of the formation is very strong, it is estimated that he will not even have a chance to get started.
Even if he can enter the underground cave, how to take the worry-free fruit from the other party's hands, Wang Lung has no way at all, and now it seems that everything is unknown, and he can only take one step at a time.
After the tide of bats passed, Wang Lung returned to his original place again, retracted the flying machine into the storage artifact, and Wang Lung began to circle around the vine.
As for the formation, it can be said that Wang Lung has very little involvement, he is not even a beginner, but he has recently read a few introductions to the foundation of the formation, and he has not studied it systematically at all, and he has not arranged the formation by himself, he is a layman, and he has no experience at all.
Stupid people have stupid methods, Wang Lung was preconceived when looking for the entrance of the underground cave, assuming that the other party did not arrange a defensive magic circle in order to hide the entrance of the cave, then he would definitely arrange a phantom array, if it was a phantom array, Wang Lung believed that with his own subtle observation, he would definitely be able to find loopholes.
Wang Lung's search range is very small, the black demon snake demon disappears very quickly, it is impossible to go far, in this limited area, Wang Lung's eyes are constantly making comparisons, hoping to find a trace of difference.
The hard work paid off, before the next wave of bat tides came, Wang Lung finally found the entrance to the underground cave, as he guessed, the formation at the entrance of the cave was just an ordinary phantom array, Wang Lung happened to know this phantom array, and it was very easy to crack.
This is an extremely ordinary phantom array, which can be arranged by any cultivator, and its function is to cover some objects, such as the current cave entrance.
Wang Lung found the edge of the phantom array after many comparisons, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the phantom array, and the stone that should have landed normally disappeared in an instant after touching the phantom array.
Taking the edge of the phantom array as a starting point, Wang Lung threw more than thirty stones before he found that this was the most ordinary phantom array, and ordinary people could enter, but after entering, if he didn't know how to walk in the phantom array, it would spin in place, and in layman's words on the earth, it would be a ghost hitting the wall.
Fortunately, Wang Lung knew the phantom array of the Dao, and also knew how to pass through the Dao, according to the pace in his memory, Wang Lung quickly passed through the phantom array, and the area of this phantom array was very small, only a dozen meters.
Through the phantom array, a dark underground cave entrance was presented in front of Wang Lung, looking around, Wang Lung found that the entrance was not far behind the vines where the Millennium Sanssouci Fruit was located, the entrance was not big, but it was bottomless, Wang Lung didn't know if there was any prohibition in this underground cave, and before raising his legs to step into it, he bent down and picked up some stones from the ground in case of emergency.
Diagonally at an angle of thirty degrees, Wang Lung found that the cave passage was not very wide after entering the underground cave. Only one person is allowed to pass through, and the cave walls are uneven, obviously with traces of knives and axes, and a hint of freshly turned earth, it seems that this underground cave has not been excavated for a long time, and it should be opened up at will. The owner here is probably the black snake demon.
Along the way, Wang Lung didn't find that there were other prohibitions in the cave, and he didn't see any difference when he used small stones to explore the way, isn't the other party afraid that others will find out and block it in the cave, or that snake demon's cultivation has reached the late stage of the Yuan Infant, ignoring those who come to the door.
With nervousness, Wang Lung went deeper and deeper into the ground step by step, and soon walked more than a hundred meters, and then went down. The aircraft's detection system had no effect, and it was here that the original red dot began to blur and fade away.
How far down was Wang Lung that he couldn't see with the naked eye, but for the sake of worry-free fruit, he had to bite the bullet and continue to go deeper.
When Wang Lung went two hundred meters underground, a bright light suddenly came from ahead.
With his own vision, Wang Lung could see the black snake demon, and the other party was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was dragging the thousand-year-old Worry-Free Fruit in his hand, and his smart eyes were just looking at Wang Long. Judging from the other party's reaction, it seems that he has long known that Wang Long is coming.
The two looked at each other, Wang Lung didn't know how to speak, he was now face to face with the other party, less than five meters away, and there was a hint of vigilance that could be seen from the other party's expression.
The place where the black demon basilisk crossed her knees was a cave that was not too big. It is about five meters high, ten meters long and ten meters wide, a very small cave, without any decoration, and it seems that his guess is right. This is a temporary evacuation site opened by the other party.
The reason why it is said to be a place of refuge is because there is a bat tide on the Green Plains Star now, and as a cultivator on an alien planet, there are only two ways to avoid the bat tide, one is to drive a flying machine to hide in the sky, and the other is to hide in a cave.
"You're here for it?" the black demon snake demon asked first, pointing to the carefree fruit in her hand.
Wang Lung did not answer, but nodded, he still didn't know what the other party meant, since the deadlock had been broken, he wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
"This thing is important to you?"
Still nodding, Wang Lung kept silent, just used body language to express his meaning.
Seeing that Wang Lung was so careful, the black snake demon smiled charmingly and continued lightly: "But it is also very important to me. ”
Wang Lung had already guessed that the other party would definitely say this, for the sake of a thousand-year-old worry-free fruit, temporarily open a place of refuge, and risk the outbreak of the bat tide, the other party was definitely not for fun, but Wang Lung didn't understand why this woman valued the thousand-year-old worry-free fruit so much, this was what he was curious about, and he wanted to know the hidden effect of the Dao Sanssouci fruit.
"Senior, I don't know if Lu Dao can ......"
Before Wang Lung finished speaking, the black snake demon raised her hand and interrupted: "You don't need to call me senior, in fact, compared to you, there is not much difference in strength, you can call me Liefei." ”
"That'...... Okay, Lie, I don't know if you can cut your love and give me this worry-free fruit, what conditions are there, you can put it forward, and I will try my best to meet it. ”
Lieyan sneered, and said in a flash: "Yes, but before that, I hope you can talk to me openly and honestly, I am very curious about you, an ordinary person who is not even a cultivator, the strength of his body and soul has reached such a level, how do you practice, I haven't heard that there is still your department among cultivators." ”
How is it possible, the two have only met for a few minutes, and if they want to know the details of Wang Lung, he will definitely not agree, but since this woman agrees to cede Sanssoucin, Wang Lung can't be perfunctory, what if the concubine repents.
Seeing that Wang Lung didn't speak for a long time, Lieyu knew that what she just said made the other party misunderstand, everyone has their own secrets, if she was Wang Lung, she wouldn't say it, not to mention that the two just met in Pingshui, and the purpose was for this worry-free fruit.
"Since you don't want to say it, then ......" Speaking of this, Liefei deliberately paused, raised his eyes to look at Wang Lung's reaction, since he had made Wang Lung misunderstand, Lieyan decided to make a mistake, if he could know some secrets, it would be better, Wang Lung didn't say it, it didn't matter.
"Liefei, it's not that I don't want to say it, but the master has a life, and our department can't leak it, please forgive me. Wang Lung casually made up a reason to prevaricate the past.
Seeing that Wang Lung was indeed very embarrassed, Liefei no longer had any illusions, smiled slightly, raised her hand and handed the worry-free fruit to Wang Lung.
"Here, take it. ”
Wang Lung was stunned, he didn't understand what Liefei meant, the other party didn't even put forward the conditions, so he gave him the worry-free fruit, this is too hasty, Liefei is not afraid that he will regret it after taking the worry-free fruit.
What did the other party mean, could it be a trap, Wang Lung was not sure, and he didn't plan to reach out to pick it up.
"Hehe......" Seeing that Wang Lung was so cautious, Liefei took back the hand that was stretched out: "Alas, you are really boring, okay, I won't tease you, as long as you can provide me with ten top-grade Heart Condensing Pills, then I will give you the worry-free fruit in my hand, how about it?"
Ten high-grade Heart Condensing Pills, Wang Lung has a big head for a while, let alone ten, he doesn't even have one, what to exchange with the other party, Wang Long, who is not even a cultivator, doesn't need the Heart Condensing Pill at all, where can he go to find the other party's Heart Condensing Pill.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Lung really couldn't think of a good way, ten high-grade Condensing Heart Pills could be exchanged for a thousand years of worry-free fruit, to be honest, this condition was not high at all, if it fell on other cultivators, maybe he could carry it with him, but Wang Lung couldn't.
Wang Lung sighed and said, "I'm sorry...... I don't have a single Heart Condensing Pill on my body, can the girl change the conditions. ”
looked at Liefei with expectant eyes, but the other party just shook his head at Wang Lung, Wang Lung thought to himself that it would not work, so he could only think of other ways to take away the worry-free fruit. (To be continued......)
