Chapter 55: The Robbers
Let's say that Nanbanjun and his party of more than 20 people just left on the front foot, and Su Mengyan and the others followed on the back foot. Along the way, the Southern Barbarian King saw many beasts the size of mountains trapped alive by some strange vines, and then they were encircled into small pieces of food by countless vines, and then swallowed by vines with sharp teeth and large mouths. This scene made Nanban Jun can't help but have a deeper understanding of the desolation of the Great Wilderness Region.
I don't know how many years these vines have grown here, covering thousands of kilometers of land. Nanban Jun has been practicing for many years, and he has also heard of plants such as man-eating flowers, but such a large carnivorous plant is really rare in the world. No matter who it was, as long as they saw the giant beast the size of a mountain being swallowed by countless wildly writhing vines, no one wanted to get close to it just by this scene.
Half a month passed, and Nanbanjun and the others finally came to the place where the ancient cave was located. It was a low mountain, and in this wild wilderness where wild beasts and trees were growing wildly, this low mountain seemed too ordinary, it was a little weird to be ordinary. If you look closely, you can see that everything on this low hill exudes a sense of peace. The flowers and plants, rocks and trees on this mountain did not grow like the grass and trees in other places.
Nanban Jun and his entourage were cautious, avoiding some glimmering rocks and plants, and headed straight for the top of the mountain. Those places that shimmered were naturally incomplete formations. At the top of the mountain, an ancient cave nearly ten meters high appeared in front of everyone. Outside the ancient cave entrance, two huge stone beasts stood on the left and right, and the path paved with stone slabs extended deep into the cave entrance, and was finally blocked by two heavy stone doors. Outside the stone gate, there are still some formations that glow with a faint light, but because the years have passed for too long, no matter how powerful the formations are, they have collapsed.
This time, when the Demon Dao was about to attack, the reason why everyone chose to check here was that there were traces of human activity here, even if the traces showed at least hundreds of thousands of years ago. But since there are people living here, and there is a formation protection here, maybe the way to leave the Great Wilderness Region is here. After completely destroying several already broken formations, the Southern Barbarian Jun and his party finally came to the two stone gates.
I saw that the stone gate opened and closed, there was a yin and yang pattern, on both sides of the stone gate, two rows of big characters revealing the ancient atmosphere fell down like a waterfall. On the left and right, the book "Tianxingjian, the gentleman with self-improvement; the terrain is kun, the gentleman carries things with virtue; directly above the stone gate, the four big characters of the avenue are shining brightly." "Cultivators understand that these are a few sentences from the ancient fragment "Commentary on the Heavenly Scriptures", although the words are simple, but the meaning is profound.
Seeing the yin and yang patterns on the door, Nanban Jun immediately understood that most of the previous formations were used to defend against people other than Qi cultivators. This yin and yang pattern is obviously a simple formation mechanism, as long as it can guide the Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, even a Qi cultivator of the Iron Gourd Realm can open it. And for people other than Qi cultivators, no matter how simple this formation mechanism is, as long as he can't guide the Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi and come here, I'm afraid he will also be blocked by the stone gate.
Nanban Jun came to the yin and yang pattern, his mind was urged, and the guided heaven and earth Xuan Qi was slowly injected into the yin and yang pattern, and the two yin and yang fish suddenly came to life, and after swimming along both sides of the stone gate, a muffled sound came, and the heavy stone door opened violently. Entering the stone room, everyone found that the room was paved with concentrated stone, and a soft light emanated from it, making the whole room very comfortable.
The room was spacious, with more than twenty people standing in it, all occupying only one corner of the entire stone chamber. In the center of the stone chamber, a screen made of unknown stone stands impressively. On one side of the screen, there is also a table made of unknown stone, and several openwork stone chairs carved with delicate patterns stand around the table. On the table, several fiery red cups and a pointed mouth pot are very eye-catching.
In other corners of the stone room, there are still some books, weapons, calligraphy and paintings, but most of them have decayed. At the back of the stone room, there is also a medicine garden, but the elixir Nanbanjun and others in it are basically unknown. For a few plants that were still alive, everyone only picked some medicinal fruits and half a small rhizome for its future use, and then they did not move again. As for the main plant of the elixir, although everyone wanted to remove it, they didn't know if it had grown here for too long, and once they moved it away from the place where it had grown, they quickly withered and died, and this was the case for several plants in a row.
Seeing this scene, Nanbanjun and the others didn't dare to move other elixirs at will. Although they don't know the names and uses of these elixirs, everyone can understand with their toes that these elixirs are definitely not ordinary. Nanban Jun also knows a lot of elixirs and spiritual herbs, but these elixirs, Nanban Jun can't recognize any of them. The entire medicine garden, only on an eight-foot-tall thorny plant in the corner, there were a few crystalline fruits the size of eggs, and Nanbanjun seemed to be a little familiar.
Thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that when the old gravedigger was refining the doppelganger skull, he also added this kind of fruit in the refining process. When I used this spirit fruit at the beginning, seeing that the old monster looked very painful and reluctant, I could deduce that this spirit fruit should be extraordinary. However, Nanbanjun was not sure if the two spirit fruits were the same, because the spirit fruit used by the old gravedigger was only the size of a thumb, and it was turquoise. And now the spirit fruit is the size of an egg, and the whole spirit fruit is also very dazzling.
Although everyone came to check the situation in various areas of the Great Wilderness Region, when they saw good things, everyone naturally wouldn't let him leave them there. Except for the elixir to be brought back to the station and distributed in a unified manner, the rest of the things depend on how much everyone can take away. Most people choose weapons, although most of those weapons are rotten at the moment, but everyone is also very fond of them, you must know that they have not completely rotted after being placed here for so long, which means that these weapons are already very extraordinary.
Nanban Jun also wanted to choose a suitable weapon, but after thinking about it, if he wanted to refine the pig-killing knife into an artifact, he couldn't choose other weapons, so he had to give up. In addition to choosing weapons, there are also people who choose to take those books that are about to rot, and if they find some earth-shattering exercises in those books, it is also very good. And Nanban Jun is also interested in exercises, but as soon as he touches those books, he has turned into dust before he has used any force, although it is a pity that his heart is tight, but he will not waste too much time.
Looking at the entire stone room again, it seemed that no one wanted the table and screen, so he urged Xuan Qi to open the storage bag and wanted to move the stone table and screen. Unexpectedly, no matter how he urged the Xuan Qi, the stone table and the screen did not move at all, and he couldn't help but be depressed. There are only two reasons for this. First, those two things were too heavy and too big, and the size of the treasure bag that the Southern Barbarian Monarch was currently cultivating and refining couldn't shake it in the slightest. The second reason is that these two things are made of special materials, and the magic weapon refined by the method of ordinary space cannot be accommodated at all.
And now, no matter what the situation is, Nanban Jun can only sigh at the moment. In desperation, he had to take away the cups and jugs on the stone table. It seemed that there was nothing left to take, and finally, when he saw that a half-man tall almost solid drum made of unknown ferrous metal was not wanted, he also put it in his treasure bag. Although the drum skin has completely collapsed, Nanbanjun feels that the material of the drum is also good, and he may not be able to use it to refine something in the future.
Everything that could be taken away and looted in the entire stone chamber was basically taken into their pockets. In the innermost part of the stone room, there is still a stone door, and behind the stone door, there are some rooms. The crowd rushed in, and then there was also a raid, like a robber, wishing that even the stone slabs laid on the ground had to be pried away. In fact, Nanbanjun did secretly pry a few pieces of concentrated stones on the ground, but he thought that the treasure bag was about to be out of place, and there might be something better in the back, so he had to give up.
Just as Nan Manjun and the others were still searching room by room in the ancient cave, Su Mengyan and the others, who had been waiting outside the ancient cave for a long time, couldn't hold their breath. The reason why they have been secretly following them for so long and not doing anything is to see what these people are trying to do. Now that he saw them enter the ancient cave, he set up a heavy ambush outside the ancient cave, wanting to take advantage of the time when they came out to catch them all and reap the benefits. But now, half a day has passed, and no one has come out, and they are starting to become anxious.
