Chapter 597: Mysterious Underground Prohibition
&;&;&;&;&;This tunnel dug out by the dragon jade ruler leads straight to the bottom of 500 meters underground, without the slightest meandering.
So after Zhang Wenzhong jumped into it, he fell directly into the depths of the pitch black. In this regard, Zhang Wenzhong was not nervous at all, pinched a magic seal in his right hand, quickly recited a spell in his mouth, and performed a feather falling technique.
Wisps of colorful spiritual power immediately appeared, wrapping around his body, not only slowing down the speed of his fall, but also illuminating the pitch-black tunnel.
The elders of the various sects who jumped into the tunnel with Zhang Wenzhong also followed him and performed the feather falling technique.
All of a sudden, the originally dark tunnel was illuminated. Even outside the tunnel, rays of light could be seen emanating from the entrance of the tunnel.
In a short time, Zhang Wenzhong and more than 100 elders fell to the bottom of this tunnel. Although the entire tunnel is only about one meter wide, at the bottom of this tunnel is an underground new world with a diameter of about a kilometer and a height of about three meters.
This new underground world was obviously not carved out by the Panlong Jade Ruler. On its ground, a bluestone brick is laid.
Although they are hidden deep underground, these bluestone bricks are as bright as ever. On its four walls and top, there are five night pearls inlaid respectively.
It makes the originally dark underground world have a bit more luxurious light. A stone statue, according to the direction of the nine palace gossip, stands on this bluestone brick.
These statues, some of them are beasts, some are kind, and some are hideous, adding a bit of mystery and weirdness to this underground world.
The elders who followed Zhang Wenzhong here, after seeing such a scene, couldn't help but exclaim softly and guessed: "Oh my God...... Five hundred meters underground, there is still such a new world hidden. What kind of place is this?"
"Looking at the appearance of this underground world, I'm afraid it's already tens of millions of years old? Could it be that this place is actually the cultivation of a certain senior?"
"These statues are not only arranged according to the direction of the nine palace gossip, but also have wisps of aura rippling in them. In my opinion, they are definitely not as simple as ordinary statues. Unable to suppress his curiosity, the Elder of the Sword Sect walked towards one of the humanoid statues holding a giant axe, wanting to see what was so strange about these statues up close.
However, just as he walked up to the statue, Zhang Wenzhong was keenly aware that the aura released from this group of statues turned out to be full of hostility and aggression in an instant.
"Be careful! Come back quickly!" Zhang Wenzhong raised his right hand and threw a spell towards the elder of the Sword Sect as he reminded him.
At the same time, the rest of the sect elders also took out their own blades and magic weapons, and instantly entered the battle state.
Just when Zhang Wenzhong reminded him, the lifeless statue actually moved suddenly, wielding the giant axe in his hand, and slashed towards the elder of the Sword Sect with a groundbreaking momentum.
The axe was extremely fast and powerful, and after rubbing against the surrounding air, it actually gave birth to a 'rumbling' thunderous sound.
The giant axe that this statue split was not only amazing, but also exuded a powerful aura. The Sword Suppression Sect was a little out of breath by this powerful aura.
I want to avoid it, but I can't avoid it at all, and I can't let it go. The tragic discovery of the elders of the Sword Sect that such a method of using a domineering momentum to *** the enemy, so as to make the enemy cowardly before fighting, should have been used by their Sword Sect, but they did not expect that they would be given by a statue today to 'use the way of others and govern their bodies'.
The moment before he died, the elder of the Sword Sect couldn't help but close his eyes. In his heart, there was not much fear of death.
Some of them were just annoyed and remorseful: "Shame on me! I was going to be killed by a statue in front of so many fellow cultivators with the attack method that our Sword Suppression Sect is best at...... It's really a shame to throw it at grandma's house. Moreover, we have to make our Sword Sect lose face together. I'm really tragic, I'm really wronged......" Just when the elder of the Sword Sect thought that he was certain to die, a spell suddenly flew over and stuck on his head.
Immediately after, a yellow-painted light flashed out of this spell, causing the body of the elder of the Sword Suppression Sect to disappear in an instant, leaving only an afterimage.
Almost at the same moment, the giant axe in the statue's hand roared down, splitting the afterimage into two, and smashed down on the bluestone brick floor, with a loud 'boom', resounding throughout the underground world.
Even those who remained on the ground heard the alarming noise. You Jia's face changed suddenly, and she quickly ran to the entrance of the tunnel to look down, and said nervously, "What kind of noise is this......?" Will he be okay?" The Zhang family and Su Xiaomei also ran to the entrance of the cave to look down, but unfortunately the tunnel was too deep, and everyone couldn't see what was going on underneath.
Chen Xian, who was also staying on the ground, hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, with the sect master's cultivation, even if there is really some terrible danger hidden under this ground, even if he can't resist it, he will be able to escape smoothly." What's more, beside the sect master, there are more than a hundred elders of various sects. With such a luxurious lineup, what kind of danger can't be dealt with?" Hearing Chen Xian's words of comfort, the nervous expressions on the faces of the Zhang family, You Jia, and Su Xiaomei eased slightly.
Still, they sat around the mouth of the cave and watched, desperate to find out what was going on underground.
At the same time, the elder of the Sword Sect, who thought he was in a catastrophe, slowly opened his eyes. After making sure that he was still alive, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, bowed deeply to Zhang Wenzhong, who saved his life, and said gratefully: "Mr. Zhang, never dare to forget the grace of saving your life!" Zhang Wenzhong said with a smile: "You're welcome, you and I are friends, this friend is in trouble, so naturally we should try our best to help." Then, he turned his gaze back to the group of statues standing on top of the bluestone bricks, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Judging from the position in which these statues stand, they should have built a magic circle to defend against xìng." Whoever intrudes into the formation will cause them to react and attack the intruder. Once out of range, they revert back to a stationary state. As Zhang Wenzhong said, after the elder of the Sword Sect was rescued by him with a talisman, the statue holding the giant axe did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but returned to its previous static state.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a deep pit on the ground of this bluestone brick that had been split by a giant axe, I am afraid that many people would regard the scene just now as an illusion.
"In the depths of the earth, why is there such a terrifying defensive array, and what is it that it is protecting?" Lu Huai frowned and said with a gasp.
When the statue launched an attack on the elders of the Sword Sect just now, those of them who were outside the formation also clearly felt the powerful spiritual power released from the statue.
This is just the power of a statue on the periphery, as far as the eye can see, there are nine hundred and eighty-one statues in this defensive magic circle!
Moreover, the more it is in the center of the defensive array, the stronger the strength of this statue will be! Although most people are shocked by the strong strength displayed by this defensive array, more people can't help but guess what kind of treasure will be guarded by this terrible array!
If it weren't for the experience of the elders of the Sword Sect who were still there, I was afraid that there would have been people who were in a hurry and couldn't wait to break into this defensive magic circle to see what was going on.
"This defensive circle is not guarding a magic weapon, but a powerful prohibition. After using his divine sense to infiltrate the defensive magic circle and probe it, Zhang Wenzhong opened his eyes and said.
Although the elders were also like Zhang Wenzhong, they tried to use their divine sense to sneak into the defensive magic circle to see what was going on.
However, their divine sense was far inferior to Zhang Wenzhong's, and they had just reached the edge of the defensive magic circle and were intercepted, so they couldn't sneak into it at all.
Therefore, when they heard Zhang Wenzhong's words, they immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked: "What is this prohibition for?" Of course, some people didn't believe much in Zhang Wenzhong's words, and they muttered in their hearts: "Such a terrible defensive magic array, guarding only a prohibition? Hmph...... Now that you're the only one whose divine consciousness has infiltrated this circle to see what is going on, who knows if what you're saying now is true or false?" Of course, they only dared to mumble a few words in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say it anyway.
Not only because of Zhang Wenzhong's strength, but also because Zhang Wenzhong is now famous, and almost half of the people in the cultivation world are begging him.
It would undoubtedly be unwise to provoke him in such a situation. Therefore, even if they are unwilling in every way, they can only slander in their stomachs.
"I don't know what this ban is for. Zhang Wenzhong shook his head, sighed lightly, and said: "This ban gives me the feeling that it has been set up tens of millions of years ago. Judging from the fact that Aine and Yama are going to infiltrate the fifth middle school in an attempt to break this prohibition despite the danger of revealing their whereabouts, it should be quite important to these ancient demons. I just don't know what the specific effect of this ban is......"
