Chapter 148: The Underworld (I)
The ape spirit turned into the fat man, and after absorbing the fat man's immortal baby, he understood that the fat man's name was Zhao Fu, and he was just a nobody in the Red Flame Palace.
Long Potian turned into a thin and tall man, with a withered face, as if he had been ill for a long time, but among these four people, his cultivation was second only to Zhongyun Mountain.
When everything was ready, the ape spirit began to patrol according to the patrol route he remembered, keeping an eye on every plant and tree along the way.
On the way, he finally met the immortals on the other patrols, unlike Zhongyun Mountain, the other patrol teams were in high spirits, their eyes were round, and they didn't let go of any movement around them. Even when they met the ape spirit, they didn't say hello.
Zhongyun Mountain, who had become an ape spirit clone, walked over to talk, and the group of people directly ignored it.
After a few times, he no longer tried to communicate with these people, but began to concentrate on checking the surrounding terrain, although he had Zhao Fu's memory, but this guy was also a lazy worm, and he didn't know anything other than the place designated above.
The ape spirit questioned Ao Fan and Long Potian, and found that there was not much useful information in their memories, and they didn't know where to go for a while. The City Lord's Mansion is huge, and there are not hundreds of buildings in it, but dozens of them, and each building does not have a specific name, which makes it a little difficult for them to start.
As they walked, they came across a building that was no different from the others, only slightly larger than the one next to them.
The ape spirit felt that it was not a way to go on like this, and planned to sit down and discuss it first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, a patrol team came over, and the leader among them was an immortal from the peak realm of immortal generals. He is the highest cultivation among the patrol immortals that the ape spirit has ever seen.
The immortal came up to the ape spirit and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The ape spirit checked his memory a little, only to find that this immortal was quite famous in the city lord's mansion, named Li Sangui, and he was the head of the patrolling immortals. The friendship with Zhongyun Mountain is not bad, so the ape spirit immediately asked his doppelganger to come forward to talk.
The doppelganger of the ape spirit smiled, stepped forward and said, "Brother Li, I didn't do anything." It's just that when I'm tired from patrolling, I'm going to rest. ”
Li Sangui saw that it was Zhongyun Mountain, frowned, and asked, "I remember that the place where you patrol is not here." You don't take it with you at your post, what are you doing here?"
"Zhongyun Mountain" looked around, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Did I go wrong?"
Li Sangui sighed and said, "You kid has always been so careless, you don't care about anything, and you haven't even figured out where you patrol." Forget it this time, hurry back to your post, and remember, don't come near here again. Otherwise, if something happens, please, don't say I didn't warn you then. ”
Zhongyunshan immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, for reminding me, thank you, I'll go back." ”
Li Sangui watched Zhongyun Mountain leave, shook his head and sighed, and then continued to patrol with his patrol.
The ape spirit didn't go far, and when he saw Li Sangui leaving, he immediately found a secret place and said, "It seems that this place is not simple. Otherwise, that guy wouldn't be so nervous. ”
Long Potian looked around, there was no powerful enchantment, and there was no powerful aura, everything here seemed very ordinary, and there was nothing special at all, but Li Sangui's reaction just now was really strange, and it seemed that there was something to cover up.
Ao Fan frowned and said, "It's certain that there are weirdness in this place, but what we don't know, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for us." Everything has seemed very abnormal since we entered here, and if it was just a trap to prevent people from getting in, we would have fallen into a trap for ourselves. ”
The ape spirit is also worried about this, but now there is not much time, Weaver's army should already be on the way, if they don't find some useful information before, once the war breaks out, the Red Flame Palace will use the string fairy to resist the foreign enemy, it is good to say, they can take advantage of the chaos to rescue her. But if this is not the case, this war may be a surprise, and the guards of the Red Flame Palace will definitely be tighter at that time, and it will be difficult for us to rescue the string fairy.
For a while, he was in a dilemma, once he took the risk, he would be in danger if he failed, and he would probably fall into a catastrophe from which he could not recover.
Ao Fan watched the ape spirit's face change continuously, and finally said, "What is there to hesitate about. Now that you know that there is a problem here, you won't feel at ease if you don't go in and take a look. Besides, if we really reach a dead end, we will kill it. Unless there is an Immortal Venerable here, I see who can stop us. ”
Long Potian also said boldly: "That's right. My lord, if we want to keep us with our strength, they will have to pay a heavy price. ”
Looking at Ao Fan and Long Potian's determined eyes, the ape spirit also nodded and said, "Okay." But we're careful. As soon as you notice something is wrong, leave immediately. ”
After making a simple plan on the spot, they returned to the place where they met Li Sangui. After looking up at the larger building, he quietly pushed the door in.
So far, everything has gone smoothly, the door is not restricted by any mechanism, and no mechanism has been found in the room using the demon sense scanning, which also makes the ape spirit feel a little relieved.
Next, the ape spirit directly activated his natural supernatural powers, using dozens of doppelgangers to start searching the room, and found an anomaly on a bookcase a moment later.
The ape spirit came to the bookcase and pulled out the third row and the sixth book according to the instructions given by the clone. Instead of pulling the book out, there was a snapping sound of instruments, and the ground moved slowly, and in a moment a step that extended down appeared in front of you.
Long Potian glanced at the ape spirit and asked, "My lord, should we go down?"
The ape spirit looked at the dark end, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go in." I'd like to see what the hell these guys are up to. After speaking, he rushed in first, and Ao Fan and Long Potian followed.
When they entered, the ground returned to its original state, and it appeared as if it had not moved.
At the entrance of the dark cave, the ape spirits did not even dare to use the power of fire to illuminate, but fortunately, this level of darkness was not a big problem for them, and everything around them was as clear as day.
Despite this, the ape spirit was still cautious along the way, since there was a mechanism here, it was natural that there was a defensive formation. However, none of the formations were triggered until the end of the tunnel, or there were no defensive formations set up on the passage at all.
At the end of the passage was a large door, ten feet high and three feet wide, with a rapid protrusion on it, and the whole door was completely integrated, and there was no keyhole or anything like that. He searched carefully on the surface of the gate, and then searched the surrounding cave walls for a while, but found nothing that looked like a mechanism.
Finally, the ape spirit stood in front of the gate, and Ao Fan said, "No wonder it was so calm along the way. It turned out that there was such a gate, and it seemed that a special method had to be used to open this door. ”
Long Potian stepped forward and pushed hard, with his current strength, even a mountain would shake, but this door did not move at all.
The ape spirit tried many methods, and even used the method of infiltrating the city lord's mansion, intending to see if the gate was also controlled by the formation. But after trying it, he gave up, because there was no formation in it at all.
In the end, the ape spirit decided to use the stupidest method, which was to cut the door open with Variety, and so far, he had not seen anything that could not be cut by Variety.
Variant turned into a drill and began to spin against the corner of the gate, and with a piercing sound, countless sparks flew in all directions, and a crack appeared on the surface of the gate.
The ape spirit thought that Variant would soon be able to make a hole enough for them to get into, but who knew that the hardness of this door was far beyond his imagination, and with the sharpness of Variety, he only managed to make a small crack.
Variant also understands that the material of this door is a good thing, so he burrows the hole while devouring the shards that have peeled off.
Time passed bit by bit, and Bai Chang had penetrated about a meter deep, but he still hadn't drilled through, and after devouring so many fragments, Bai Chang's body exuded a faint black light. With the current strength of Baichang, if he wants to improve his strength, the materials needed are not only the highest grade, but also a lot of them.
And now Baichang's body exudes luster, which fully shows that after devouring the materials of the gate, Baichang's strength is improving. It also shows that the material of this door is by no means generic. And the materials required for such a huge gate are even more staggering, and the ape spirit is curious about what kind of material it is.
I walked over and touched the surface of the door, there was no unique aura of rare treasures, just look and touch it, you won't find the difference in this door. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Varie not to notice the difference in this door in the first place.
At this time, a variety of voices came: "It's passed." ”
The ape spirit couldn't wait to get into the hole, and to his surprise, the thickness of this door was more than ten meters, no wonder the dragon couldn't shake it just now.
After devouring a part of the gate, the light on Change's body flickered, and the ape spirit understood that this was a precursor to the improvement of Change's ability. Immediately put it back, and in a short time he didn't plan to use it anymore.
And Bai Chang also split his clone before leaving, and continued to hide his breath for the ape spirits.
Walking out of the gate, what appeared in front of the ape spirit was a huge underground world, like an ant nest, in front of the ape spirit was covered with dense holes, the inside was pitch black, and I didn't know where it led.
Ao Fan and Long Potian entered one after another, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but grow their mouths.
In the end, Long Potian half-jokingly said, "What are these guys doing? Are they going to change jobs to become ants?"
The ape spirit smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if they plan to change careers and become ants. But we seem to have found something amazing. I don't know what secret is hidden here. It is likely that this is the reason why the Red Flame Palace intends to defend Phoenix City to the death. ”
Ao Fan also nodded and said, "That's right." Such a large underground world cannot be built in a day or two. It seems that we need to find out what this underground world is really like. Look at what these guys from the Red Flame Palace are doing here. But I have a hunch that nine times out of ten there will be no light. ”
Long Po pouted and said, "If you can see the light, you still need to do it underground? ”
Ao Fan glared at him and asked, "What did you say?"
Long Potian hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”
The ape spirit glanced at the hole he had drilled into, and let Varie split out a part to block the hole, so that it would not be discovered, and it could be used to escape later.
When he was done, he said, "Okay." We're running out of time. Let's hurry up and see what the hell is going on here. ”
Ao Fan and Long Potian no longer quarreled, and followed the ape spirit to find a passage to enter.
