Chapter 422: Magic Pink Quartz
Luo Xiyan was also forced to do so, there were too many monks at the foot of the mountain, and he couldn't squeeze in if he wasn't arrogant.
Fortunately, almost all of the people here are low-level disciples of various families, and seeing that this group of people are all strong people who have come out of the reincarnation realm, they dare not speak out in anger, and make way for them.
The seven people came up the mountain, only to know why those disciples were stranded below, it turned out that a breath diffused from the top of the mountain was not very powerful, but it revealed a taste that was not close to the living, which would make people with insufficient skill feel extremely uncomfortable.
There are still a lot of people along the way, and most of them are people from the Huandan and Wenyang Realm and above.
Jiguan Peak is the main peak of Jiming Mountain, the altitude is extremely high, the temperature drops rapidly after climbing the Jishou Ridge, the snowflakes begin to float on the mountainside, and the bigger and bigger it falls, after a while, the surrounding is covered with snow, covered in silver, and the cold is pressing.
Approaching the peak, they came to the shore of the Jixing Heavenly Pool.
Jixing Tianchi's original name is Jixin Pond, which is named because it resembles a chicken heart, and some people think that the name is not worthy of the beauty of the lake, so it is renamed Jixing Tianchi.
Jixing Tianchi is a high-mountain dammed lake formed in a low-lying place after the volcanic eruption caused by the collapse of the mountain.
The center of the lake is a deep turquoise, with dark green and light green colors outward, and the water surface is still and the bottom of the lake near the shore is clearly visible, and the whole lake surface is like a moist gem set under the top of the mountain, especially after the snow, which sets off the gorgeous hues that are rich in layers and dreams like stars.
When you are about to reach Tianchi, the temperature gradually rises, and there is fresh water vapor drifting away, and when you reach the lake, you can no longer feel the cold, and you reach in, the lake water is very warm.
This auspicious star pond is also a hot spring lake.
Around the shore of the lake, there are many treasure hunters gathered in groups.
Luo Xiyan didn't make a mistake here, and walked around to listen to the news in the name of the young master of Dawn Castle.
It wasn't a secret anyway, and he soon came back to inform everyone that the explorers who had come first these days had figured out the situation.
When they first discovered this place, monks of all levels tried to dive into the lake to find the entrance, but they all returned in vain, dozens of zhang below the surface of the water is a lava forest formed by volcanic lava flows, and the bottom of the lake is extremely hard, no matter how everyone finds and digs, there is no entrance.
The depth of the monk's dive and the time limit for holding his breath are much stronger than ordinary people, and even then, he cannot hold on underwater for a long time.
After a few days of exploring, it became clear that access only took place at a short time at noon each day.
Every day at noon, the bottom of the Jixing Heavenly Pond will crack, causing the water level of the lake to drop significantly, and at the same time, there is a treasure light from the bottom of the lake to the sky, and form a layer of red light curtain at the bottom, then is the only time to enter, the Xuanzhu will be blocked by the light curtain, and the monks below the Xuanzhu can go deep into the interior from the crack.
Since the people who entered before have not yet come out, there is no way to know how they will go after entering.
Knowing this, the seven waited patiently on the shore.
They can feel a lot of Xuanzhu and even the breath of the Yaochi Realm looming around the lake, these are the great powers that arrived in advance but are not allowed to enter, so they have to wait and see here and wait for the follow-up opportunities, and the others are basically the strong people who are qualified to go down to hunt for treasures in the Rebirth Realm and the Warm Cultivation Realm, and no matter how low the cultivation is, only the sporadic bold people have the courage to come up.
The unsettling Seven Tribulations were just the beginning of the beginning, and those who dared to try their luck were outlaws who put life and death on the line, and everyone was excited and nervous, and they also knew that there was no need to fight on the shore now, and they all meditated on the ground and waited for the arrival of noon, and all opportunities had to wait until they entered to fight.
In an oppressive atmosphere, the sun will finally move overhead.
There was a faint roar from the depths of the earth, and there was a faint vibration under the feet, and as the sound became more pronounced, the surface of the lake turned upside down, and the original blue-green and distinct shades of color were mixed together, and the water began to muddy and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everyone stood up and stared intently at the changes in the Jixing Heavenly Pool.
As the lake fell, red light continued to shine from the bottom of the lake, rising upwards and heading straight into the sky, slowly dissipating in the sky above, and it was estimated that this vision could be clearly seen within a radius of 100 miles.
The strength of the red light is uneven, the height of the rise is different, under the background of white snow, blue sky, green mountains, green trees, although there is only one color of red light in general, it shows a variety of colors such as red, purple red, crimson, scarlet, crimson, vermilion, red, orange red, apricot red, rose red, jujube red, etc., shrouded in the sky above the lake, shining, magnificent, fascinating.
Everyone just looked at it a few times and didn't have the heart to appreciate this strange scene, and they all focused on the bottom of the lake.
When the light faded, the lake stopped sinking, and the lake became clear again.
Falling into the water, most of the people released their true qi, forming a layer of shield around the body to isolate the lake water, forcing the lake to dive down, while others used different equipment and magic weapons to protect themselves, making it more convenient to move underwater.
The water was warm and the visibility was quite high, and after the monks who had descended into the water like dumplings had dived for more than ten feet, a whole layer of peach-colored light curtain that emitted ripples stretched across the bottom of the lake.
Although blocked by a pink light curtain, the scene below the light curtain is still clearly visible, which is a large stone forest formed by the solidification of volcanic lava. terminal
The lava stone forest has high and low, piles of clusters, different shapes, look at it like a labyrinth, what is more magical is that the colors are different, some are white and snowy, some are red like blood, some are pitch black like ink, and some are colorful, magnificent and wonderful, the magic of nature is really wonderful, it is breathtaking.
Everyone has no time to savor and attack the light curtain from everywhere.
There were no imaginary difficulties and obstacles, except for a few lucky Xuanzhu Realm powers that were bounced off, and the monks who came down fell straight into the light curtain one by one.
The feeling in the light curtain is smooth and soft, warm and moist, and there is some fishy taste, after the light curtain is touched, the pink color flickers and turns, making people dizzy, and it seems to be pulled and dragged in a trance, after a while, when the mind is clear, the place is no longer at the bottom of the lake, and the surrounding scene seems to be in the underground cave.
The cave was empty, but instead of extending backwards and forwards, it plunged downward, and from where everyone had settled, a stone staircase spiraled down the stone wall, which had steps but no guardrails, and was a rock wall on one side, and a dark abyss with no bottom visible on the other.
In the center of the cave, there is a thick irregular columnar dark red crystal, which is crystal clear, and the surrounding area is sometimes thick and faint light and mist, which makes people suddenly feel dizzy.
There were already people walking down the stone steps.
Luo Xiyan didn't want to be left behind, so he raised his leg to follow, but was pulled by Hua Lanting: "Brother Luo, don't worry, this place is treacherous, let's take a look first." ”
Hua Lanting's worries were not unreasonable, in their sight, the dozens of monks who set off first circled down the stone steps at intervals, it was normal at first, and after a while, many people stopped inexplicably, looking at the crystal pillar in the middle, and then they danced with their hands, and a few people walked out as if they had lost their minds, but not in the direction of the stone staircase, but out of the stairs.
There was no screaming, and several people fell into the abyss, silently, and disappeared.
Hua Lanting and the others couldn't help but exclaim, and someone around them shouted.
But it didn't work, their voices echoed and amplified in the cave, the problem was that those people didn't listen to the evil spirit, and then people continued to embark on the road of no return, and in the end only a few people were spared.
The people who came after them were frightened, and there was a commotion, and there was a lot of discussion.
It was a mess for a while, and the hundreds of people who could get in this time were at a loss, they were teleported here, and after trying, they couldn't find a way back to the bottom of the lake, and they didn't want to be trapped here, so they had to go down the road.
By this time, some people had already analyzed that the huge crystal had a mystery, and if you looked at it for a long time, it would make people lose their minds and fall involuntarily.
Since there was no other way, the so-called opportunity was in danger, and the brave monks began to set off again.
They either have great self-determination and are determined not to look at the pink crystal, or they can self-proclaim their eyesight and rely on their perception to descend, or they can shield themselves from sight with the treasures they carry and find ways to connect themselves to the rock wall.
The results of the second group were better, and more people were able to continue walking, but more than half of the monks could not resist the temptation from the crystal, and finally made the act of bungee jumping with moths to the fire, and died there.
After this time, the rest of the people were silent, some were timid and stayed where they were, and some people had no choice but to take courage and walked on the unknown ladder of life and death.
The seven people of Hualan Court discussed in a low voice.
Now in danger, Hua Lanting, Luo Xiyan and Xue Jiayi decided to take a risk, Shang Chenyang was terrified, and he refused to risk his life no matter what, preferring to stay and talk about it.
Before they could finish speaking, the stone platform beneath their feet suddenly trembled, and the cracks spread like spider silk.
This is the rhythm of forcing everyone to leave immediately, otherwise the stone platform will shatter and immediately die.
A person like Shang Chenyang had no choice but to climb the stone stairs with the crowd.
Shang Chenyang strictly ordered the three subordinates to protect themselves in front and back, and in a hurry, he did not forget to step forward and pat Hua Lanting's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Brother, if something happens, you must save me first." ”
Hua Lanting nodded in agreement.
Descending the stairs, Hua Lanting lowered his head and walked slowly, while letting go of Yuan Zhi to pay attention to the movements of his seven people, he collected his mind and reminded himself to only pay attention to the three inches in front of his feet, and never raise his head to look sideways.
As the position moved downward, the figures of the people in front and behind were gradually refracted by the crystal pillar in the middle, and the light and shadow flickered wherever Hua Lanting's eyes looked, and the image of the water crystal shook, giving people the illusion that they were just inside the pink crystal, and Hua Lanting had the urge to get out immediately.
As soon as he moved, he was immediately alarmed, and his body stopped, and his feet fell to the ground, firmly grasping the ground.
This pink quartz must have a kind of magic power that can disturb people's minds!
When he was fighting the interference, other people also had thoughts in their hearts, and everyone had different thoughts and reactions, but all of them were in crisis!
