Chapter 157: A Bigger Secret
At a glance, the formation on the gate of the underground palace was extremely cumbersome and complicated, and it didn't take much time to crack it, but under Li Mo's spiritual eyes, he found traces that the formation had been destroyed.
The formation has long existed in name only!
So, as soon as Li Mo pushed the door, the door slowly opened, and a long stone path appeared in front of the two of them.
After walking in, the lanterns hanging on both sides of the stone road are automatically lit, and the exquisite murals on the stone wall are clearly presented.
"Reincarnation Pool!"
Long Yan's eyes lit up.
But I saw that the mural depicted a group of people carrying a coffin into a pool of flames, and then the dead were resurrected.
"Sure enough, the reincarnation pool also hides a secret that we don't know, and maybe the death of these people is related to the reincarnation pool. ”
Li Mo said in a deep voice.
The two of them continued to go deeper, and soon came to a cave hall.
The cave hall was empty, and in the center there was a stone platform about ten zhang high, on which a stone box was placed.
When I opened the stone box, I saw a roll of jade slips inside.
Reading through the scroll, it suddenly recorded about the reincarnation pool, and when they read it later, they were both surprised.
More than 5,000 years ago, there lived here a sect called the Luntai Sect, which was originally inconspicuous among the powerful half-realm sects, but since the discovery of the reincarnation pool by the Luntai Sect, things have changed completely.
The reincarnation pool that can continue its life allowed the Luntai Sect to grow rapidly, continue to annex the surrounding sects, and then become a powerful sect in this land.
The change of events came three hundred years after that, when someone from the sect went deep into the underground to explore the treasure, and unexpectedly found that there was a huge root system like the roots of a tree growing under the reincarnation pool, and it had been extending towards the extremely deep ground.
After the man reported the matter back, the sect master ordered the powerhouses of the sect to dig all the way to find the secret of the reincarnation pool.
When he dug to the end of the root system, he saw a huge beast hidden in the ground, and the roots of the four reincarnation mother pools and many sub-pools were wrapped around it.
The aura emitted by the giant beast was not ordinary true qi, and the senior figure who was the leader of the sect immediately deduced that this thing was likely to be a spirit beast.
The group did not dare to alarm this thing and left immediately.
After returning to the sect, the sect master of the Luntai Sect immediately sent someone to investigate, and a small sect that was subordinate to the Luntai Sect happened to have a spirit beast spectrum from the spirit realm, which recorded a large number of unheard of spirit beasts.
After careful inspection, everyone really made a discovery, and at the same time they were intuitively creepy.
It turns out that the giant beast is called "Horror Beast", which is a kind of low-level spirit beast in the spiritual realm, which sleeps underground all the year round, and when it sleeps, it will release a large number of roots, forming a flame pool on the surface, the flame pool can devour creatures and transform them into energy, and at the same time reincarnate dead creatures, and these reincarnated people will rely on the flame pool to continuously gather.
Every 5,000 years, the beasts will awaken, devour the souls of the reincarnated ones they have gathered, and then fall asleep again.
When they read this, Li Mo's faces had changed greatly.
Although he had expected that there was a very secret hidden in the reincarnation pool, no one expected that this secret would implicate a spirit beast.
Even if it is a low-level spirit beast, it is also an incomparably powerful existence in this half of the realm, and it is afraid that it can kill the Heavenly King in seconds in one breath.
After a while, the two of them calmed down and continued reading.
But seeing that it was recorded later, after learning about this incident, the Luntai Sect Sect Master immediately ordered to leave the reincarnation pool.
However, as expected, the terrible beast actually woke up at this time.
This is the end of the scroll's record, and it is not written again, but it turns out that all the reincarnated people have been devoured by the horror beasts, which is why there is no resistance.
"The secret of the reincarnation pool is so terrifying, so could that terrifying beast be at our feet?"
Long Yan booed lightly.
"yes, this turned out to be something I didn't expect, and it was really troublesome. According to the calculation of time, five thousand years have passed, and the horror beast may awaken at any time. ”
Li Mo frowned and said.
"This must be reported to the people, and if they read the scroll, they should be able to know what is going on. Long Yan said immediately.
"Then do you think the three dragon kings will believe us?"
Li Mo asked.
"Of course not, even if there is this ancient scroll, they are afraid that they will be skeptical, they should send someone to check it, and when the time comes, as long as they see this ruin and fresco, they should believe it. ”
Long Yan said.
Li Mo nodded and said, "Indeed, the evidence is very sufficient in this way. However, this is not necessarily a good thing. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Long Yan was puzzled.
Li Mo said: "Right now, we are trapped here, even if I want to crack this formation, I don't know how much time it will take." And even if the three dragon kings have their own plans, it is not a way to break out of the formation in a short time. However, if the spirit beast is awakened, then this matter will be solved. ”
Long Yan suddenly realized: "You mean, the Three Dragon Kings are likely to use people from other tribes as cannon fodder to attract spirit beasts to destroy the formation and escape?"
Li Mo bowed his head and said: "This possibility is definitely not small, for the three dragon kings, this clan can find someone to replace at any time, and for them, being able to escape from here is the most important thing." ”
"How's that to be?"
Long Yan listened anxiously.
Li Mo muttered: "Judging from the things we have grasped so far, I am afraid that Na Shi is likely to be a sect related to the Luntai Sect that day, and he has continued the secret of this matter from generation to generation, and what he wants to seal is not only the beast clan that is causing chaos, but more importantly, he will seal the reincarnation pool, so that he will not be in the middle of the world." ”
Speaking of this, he said in a deep voice: "However, if this sect had known about this matter a long time ago, then it should have found a way to seal the reincarnation pool, and the reason why I haven't done it all this time is because I have been studying this formation, and it has just been successfully refined until the time when the beast clan is in chaos." ”
"A formation that took five thousand years to study?"
Long Yan's face changed again when she heard this.
"If my inference is correct, then it's really delusional to break this formation. ”
Li Mo said, his mood also sank to the bottom, and the situation was so strict that it was unimaginable.
He stamped down the hall, thinking about his next steps.
And when he reached the corner of the hall, suddenly his eyes lit up.
On the opposite wall, there was suddenly a hidden magic circle, although this formation was very well hidden, but it could not hide his well-informed eyes.
Although the concealment circle was well preserved, the result was not too complicated, and it only took Li Mo a while to crack it.
As soon as the formation was lifted, another stone door appeared.
Push the door in, inside is a small cave hall, in the center of the place is placed a zhang high platform, on which is placed a box several zhang long.
As soon as the box was opened, a pure breath suddenly came to their faces, which shocked both of them physically and mentally.
"Reiki!"
Li Mo's eyes widened and he let out a sound of surprise.
But when I saw that the thing in this box was suddenly a broken horn, its color was red, and it was covered with translucent lines.
"This can't be the horns of a horror beast, right?"
Long Yan said in surprise.
"I'm afraid that if it's eight or nine, you should be able to feel that the aura on our bodies is disordered because of it. ”
Li Mo nodded, picked up the broken horn, and suddenly it was as heavy as carrying a mountain, so that he took a sharp breath, and only then did he stabilize his arm as soon as he released the aura.
Then, with a slight smile, he smiled, "That way, the matter is settled." ”
Long Yan looked at him and speculated, "Could it be that this broken horn can actually break the formation?"
"Of course. ”
Li Mo said with a smile, "The most important thing in the formation is balance, the thirteen formation pillars have their own uses, but they are linked together to form an absolute balance body. According to common sense, in order to disrupt this balance, it is necessary to find the connection between the pillars, that is, to crack. However, this broken horn is a thousand times stronger than the best celestial weapons, as long as this thing is smashed into the formation pillar, this formation can be forcibly destroyed!"
Long Yan suddenly realized: "I understand, this is the same way that the spirit beast destroys the formation, when the strength is absolutely stronger than the formation, it can be forcibly destroyed." ”
Li Mo nodded and said, "That's right." ”
"That's great. ”
Long Yan was extremely happy, and the sorrow on her face suddenly turned into a smile.
Li Mo also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt very happy.
If he didn't go around here just now, just turned around and walked away, then how could he talk about how to crack the magic circle?
If it was really the dawn, the discovery of the spirit beast horn made breaking the formation a breeze all of a sudden.
Then, the two of them left immediately and returned the way they came.
However, although there was a way to break the formation, Li Mo didn't dare to be a little snubbed, this was the case with the Luntai Sect at the beginning, even if he learned the identity of the spirit beast, he was still one step too late to be wiped out.
Therefore, every second counts at this moment.
Walking all the way, in the early morning of this day, the two finally walked out of the ice curtain cave.
When they walked out, their hearts sank suddenly.
But seeing that there was a dense crowd of people standing on the mountain walls on three sides outside the cave, there were fifty or sixty people, these people were either python clans or ape clans, and they were obviously all subordinates of the Purple Dragon King.
The orcs looked at the two of them condescendingly, staring at them with tiger eyes and murderous intentions.
At this time, the orcs on the mountain wall in front of them parted ways, but they saw an old man in a golden robe with a dragon face and a long beard, who was not the Purple Dragon King.
"Purple Dragon King ......"
Li Mo frowned, and secretly exclaimed that it was not good.
After killing Ape Yong, he didn't leave any traces, and he also walked cautiously along the way, but he was still tracked by the Purple Dragon King, which he didn't expect.
Long Yan's face was filled with grief and indignation, and her fists were clenched tightly.
"If you kill this king's subordinates, you want to escape? You can know that there are countless capable people under this king, even if you know the traces on the way to escape, there are still traces to be found. ”
The Purple Dragon King said with an arrogant face.
The words fell, and his eyes fell on Li Mo again, "You human beings are really cunning as a fox, in vain this palace trusts you so much, you actually betrayed me, and took Long Yan away, just by virtue of this matter, this palace will let you taste torture, kill you ten times, make you miserable, and you can't die!"
