162 Cave 2nd Floor, Remains
Wankuling Cave, the deepest part of the mine.
In a stone chamber dozens of zhang wide, as many as seventy or eighty monks gathered. Judging from their clothing, there are all kinds of cyan robes, black robes, and yellow short shirts, at least they belong to fifteen or sixteen sects, and there are disciples of the small sects of the big sect, and the lowest is also the level of the seventh layer of the qi refining period.
It was strange that they each occupied a corner of the grotto, whispering something, or closing their eyes to rest, neither clashing with the disciples of other sects, nor being willing to leave this stone room.
However, their flickering eyes all stared at the middle of the stone chamber from time to time.
In the middle of the stone chamber, there was a small and simple teleportation array.
Ye Qin glanced coldly at everyone in the cave, and then set his eyes on this teleportation array. This teleportation array is very similar to the teleportation array of the Qingdan Peak Library Pavilion, as long as a spirit stone is inserted in the groove of the teleportation array, it can be used. This teleportation array is very small, and can only teleport one person at a time.
In the entire stone room, among the dozens of monks, not a single one dared to use it casually.
Counting up, the first group of monks from various sects to enter the cave had been entering the mine for more than ten days. They had searched almost all of the mines, but they still couldn't find where the spirit stone veins of Wankuling were. If they can't find the spirit stone vein, then their desperate fight in the mine will become meaningless. Moreover, for the major immortal cultivation sects, the high-level of the sect was full of hope and wanted to mine the spirit stone veins of Wankuling, but found that there were no spirit stones here at all, which would also be a heavy blow.
No spirit stones were found in the entire mine, but in the stone chamber in the deepest part of the mine, they found this small teleportation array. When the disciples of almost all the sects came here, they were all surprised. They couldn't figure out what a small teleportation array was doing in the underground tunnel.
This teleportation array is somewhat ancient, obviously left over thousands of years ago, and should have a clear purpose, perhaps directly related to the mining of spirit stone veins.
But if they were to try the teleportation array, they refused, and no one knew where they would be teleported once they were teleported. If it was teleported to the place where the spirit stone was mined, then it would be okay to say. If you are teleported to the lair of the demon beast underground, you will be killed directly.
The monks of each sect sat on their own side and did not move.
Ye Qin, Shen Bao and others from Qingdanmen naturally did not move.
Ye Qin secretly said in his heart: Wait, let's see who can't sit still first, go and try this teleportation array first. There are many monks from various sects here, and under the earnestness of meritorious service, there will definitely be people who can't sit still and try to use this teleportation array. When he found that this teleportation array was not in danger, it would not be too late for him to enter.
After waiting for a long time, a small group of yellow-robed monks broke into the stone chamber.
They were shocked when they saw dozens of monks gathered in this stone room, but they were a little relieved to see that these monks came from various sects. There are many monks in various sects, and they are all worried about being picked up by others, but it is not easy to fight.
"Senior brothers, junior brothers, be polite!"
An old monk with a wrinkled face like an orange peel at the leader of the team smiled at everyone in the stone room, and wondered in his heart, wondering what so many monks were doing in this stone room dozens of feet wide?
His gaze swept over the middle of the stone chamber and stopped, teleportation array!
"Haha, a few junior disciples from Tianjimen came just in time. You Tianzhen Sect disciples are the most proficient in talismans and formations, let's take a look at this teleportation array, where is it transmitted?"
In the stone room, a man in gold with a lofty aura said with a faint smile. This golden-clothed man was a disciple of the Ancient Artifact Sect, dressed in gold, and carrying a high-level spirit sword. Seeing that he is full of confidence and swaying freely, I am afraid that only the core disciples of the Ancient Artifact Sect have this bearing.
Most of the monks in this stone room were very taboo against the few disciples of the Ancient Artifact Sect in the stone room. As the first immortal cultivation sect in the Lingwu Mountain Range, the disciples in the ancient weapon sect are the best at refining weapons, especially attack power spirit weapons and magic weapons, and there are not a few disciples who have magic weapons flying swords.
The few disciples of the Heavenly Sect who had just come did not slack off in the slightest, bowed their hands to the disciples of the Ancient Weapon Sect, and then walked to the teleportation array in the middle of the stone room to check.
Several of them stared at the teleportation array, pondering for a while, and exchanged glances with each other.
The wrinkled old monk of the leader hesitated and said, "This thousand-year-old ancient teleportation array is no different from the current teleportation array, and it is easy to identify. This small one-man teleportation array should be a short-distance teleportation array, and the teleportation distance will not exceed three to five miles. And it's intact and ready to use. However, it is difficult to say where to teleport to this cave, if the second receiving teleportation array is not found, I am afraid that after teleportation, it will not be there. ”
The dozens of monks in the stone room were already staring at these Tianzhen Sect disciples at this time. Many monks rolled their eyes when they heard this, nonsense, this is still up to you! If they could find a second teleportation array in this cave, they would have known where they teleported to, and they wouldn't have stayed here.
The golden-clothed man asked again and asked lightly, "How dangerous will this teleportation array be after it is teleported?"
The old monk of the Heavenly Sect looked embarrassed: "Well, it's hard to say, it depends on whether the 'Acceptance Teleportation Array' is safe." If there are no monsters near the teleportation array, and there are no other monks, it should be safe. However, there are a lot of demon beasts in this Ten Thousand Dry Ridge Mine Road, and without perfect preparation, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to rush to teleport as well as a few of our Tianqi Sect disciples to go in first and see the situation of the teleportation array on the opposite side. If the other side is safe, come back and report to the senior brothers. ”
After speaking, he took a few disciples of the Heavenly Urn Sect and inserted a low-grade spirit stone into the groove of the teleportation array, intending to stand on the teleportation array.
"No way!"
Not far away, a categorical cold voice suddenly came from the stone room. A middle-aged yellow-robed monk from the Dique Sect stared at the disciples of the Heavenly Sect and said with a sneer, "You are stupid as us, aren't you? This is a one-man teleportation array, and you can only pass through one monk at a time. After the five of you have passed, as long as you surround the teleportation array on the opposite side, fight five against one, and directly kill the latecomers instantly, who of us will dare to teleport over? You can only go through one, and then the disciples of other sects will follow in. ”
That day, the old monk of the Heavenly Sect was suspicious of his intentions by the yellow-robed monk for no reason, his face was extremely ugly, and he immediately jumped up and shouted angrily: "Our disciples of the Heavenly Sect go first, this is a risk, what if we encounter a large group of demon beasts over there after teleporting? It's not that my disciples of the Heavenly Sect are holding it! Only when the five of us from the Heavenly Sect go over can we guarantee that we will join forces to protect ourselves." ”
"Whether you will encounter demon beasts or not, I don't care. Each sect can only go through one, and enter it in turns, otherwise no one will want to go over!" said the yellow-robed middle-aged monk indifferently, placing one hand on a spirit sword at his waist. Looking at his posture, whoever dares to teleport boldly, he will definitely be difficult.
In the stone room, soon some monks from other sects spoke out one after another, expressing their support and agreement with the statement of the middle-aged monk in the yellow robe.
There is no fool who can stand in this stone room now, and he does not understand the mystery of this.
The first one to teleport over must take a huge risk of encountering a demon beast. However, there is also a huge advantage, that is, it can seize the land advantage and attack the latecomers. The more monks there are, the stronger the attacking power.
The Tiangong Sect monk has a good abacus, but unfortunately the disciples of other sects are not dry meals, and they have long calculated the powerful relationships clearly.
Only by teleporting over one by one, restraining each other, did they not dare to act rashly, so as to ensure that the disciples of each sect were safe after they passed. The Heavenly Urn Sect wanted to teleport five people at a time, which was impossible for the monks of the sect to agree.
Most of the disciples of the Heavenly Sect are proficient in the formation, and they have already checked this teleportation array, and there should be nothing wrong with this teleportation array itself.
Now, the biggest question is which sect's disciples will teleport over first.
After all, the monk who was the first to teleport over might encounter a demon beast and would be the first to be attacked, and the risk would undoubtedly be the greatest. The monks who went in later were much more relaxed. This is a matter of life and death, and no one wants to take the lead.
The golden-clothed man glanced at the monks, and said lightly, "It's actually easy to solve this problem. We already have more than a dozen disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect here, and if no one is willing to move, I am afraid that there will be no result if the stalemate continues. It's better for everyone to draw lots, and whoever draws it first, who will send a disciple in first, depending on their luck, whether they live or die, has nothing to say. ”
In the stone room, the noisy monks fell silent, considering the proposal made by the disciples of the Ancient Artifact Sect.
It didn't take long for a considerable number of sects to agree to this approach. In addition to drawing lots, there is no other way to solve the problem of who is advanced and who is backward. Even if any of the disciples of any sect are not happy, they have to accept this method, otherwise what awaits them will be unanimously excluded by other sects. In this cave chamber, being ostracized by most of the monks means that death is not far away.
After seeing that all the disciples of the sect agreed, the golden-clothed man from the Ancient Artifact Gate casually took up a small golden sword, split a hard rock from the cave wall, cut more than a dozen stone chopsticks of different lengths, and made a stone tube out of the rock, put all the stone chopsticks inside, and completely covered them with spiritual power, so as not to be detected by the divine sense of other monks.
"Senior brothers, let's draw lots! Teleport in order of seniority, and the shortest one will teleport first. The last stone chopsticks left behind belong to my ancient artifact gate!" said the man in gold slowly.
The hand exposed by the man in gold was very unpleasant in the eyes of the disciples of other sects.
The ordinary disciples of some small sects even have very few middle-level spiritual weapons. The golden-clothed man was so good that he casually used a magic weapon flying sword to split rocks, as if the magic weapon was worthless. Of course, they also knew that this golden-clothed man was only afraid of showing off most of the elements of demonstration, so that other sects would not dare to underestimate the strength of the Ancient Artifact Sect.
In the absence of much objection, various sects cast lots one after another.
It was naturally Shen Bao who went to draw lots from Qingdanmen, who told him to boast of his good luck.
After Shen Bao drew lots, Ye Qin, Old Man Kong and the others all looked weird. According to the length of the stone chopsticks, the Qingdan Sect was teleported by the thirteenth sect, and there were monks from the other twelve sects in front of it, so even if they encountered demon beasts, there was no big problem. This luck is not the best, but it is definitely not bad.
The most unfortunate thing was a small sect called Wushanmen, who was the first to enter, and the monks of that squad were crying one by one, worrying about who in the team should go on an adventure first.
After the lottery is completed, there is nothing to say, according to the order of the length of the stone chopsticks, teleport.
The monks of each sect stood on the teleportation array in turn.
After flashes of light, they quickly disappeared from the teleportation array.
Ye Qin opened the protective shield with all his strength, secretly holding the red gourd in his hand, which he used to defend himself at any time, and then stood on the teleportation array. After a bright light. He found himself standing in the middle of another huge cavern, large enough to hold hundreds of people.
On the rock wall of the cave, the spirit stones in the east and west are exuding various colors of brilliance such as golden, blue, blue, and red, illuminating the entire cave. The dozens of monks who had already arrived here before him did not pay attention to the spirit stones on the cave walls, but were looking at the corpses all over the cave in a daze.
