Chapter 18: The Hall of Hidden Treasures
He led Liu Ningxuan to move quickly, bursts of explosions sounded in the rear, waves of fire seeped into the gaps, Li Mo took up defense and protected Liu Ningxuan.
After hurriedly getting out of the gap, the entire cave was still shaking, and the angry sound of the Five Elements Beast came from behind.
Fortunately, the stratum here is extremely hard, even the Five Elements Beast is not easy to destroy, and this thing does not have a good memory, after roaring for a while, it returned to the same place and lay down, and the broken horn on the top of the head can grow again in a thousand years.
Outside the gap, Li Mo and the others leaned against the stone wall and gasped for breath.
The Five Elements Beast was indeed too strong, even if it combined the power of two rings to fight, and finally hit it with all its strength, although it broke through the gold defense, it only left a shallow trace on its head.
Moreover, when the Five Elements Beast was furious just now, its combat power soared, if the speed of the two of them was slow, and it was intercepted by it, it would really be a small life.
"Senior brother, how are your injuries?"
Liu Ningxuan suddenly remembered something, grabbed Li Mo's arm with her little hand and asked.
"It's not a big deal. ”
Li Mo smiled lightly.
Fifty percent of internal injuries are certainly not easy for ordinary people, but he has a fifth-grade spirit bone body, and the healing speed is much faster than ordinary people.
"How can such a powerful claw be okay, my senior brother took the spirit horn for me and was injured, I really can't help it. Liu Ningxuan said with a look of resentment.
Li Mo smiled and said, "You stupid girl, I'm your senior brother, it's normal to do anything for you, what's the point of being injured?"
How natural these words are, and the love between the lines is obvious.
The little girl's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she was so moved.
In this world, in addition to the master, Li Mo and Su Yan are so good to her.
Then, she slowly leaned over, and her little mouth gently pecked Li Mo's face, and her little face was slightly red and said, "Senior brother, thank you." ”
"Yes. ”
Li Mo smiled dumbly, stroked her little head, and looked pity.
After a short rest, the two continued on their way.
In a flash, they had entered the thirteen cities of Huangquan for half a month, and the two of them went all the way deep, along the underground lair and the ruins on the ground, and finally arrived at the range where the first vice city was located.
There are still mountains here, which block the main city of Huangquan that could have been seen, and the remnants of various buildings are scattered around it.
Walking along the mountain path, you soon entered an underground cavern.
In a short time, they arrived at a huge underground world, where a dense forest suddenly grew.
All kinds of underground plants grow here wantonly, vines as thick as giant pythons, covering a whole area of mountain and rocky moss, all kinds of shrubs, scabs, and seed plants can be seen everywhere, and all of them are tall and fat.
It's like a giant's world, and the two of them walk in it like little ants.
"Sure enough, there must be a very powerful spiritual treasure hidden in this underground. ”
Li Mo asserted.
The scene here is actually very similar to the underground world derived from the Lingyuan Stone in the depths of the Yin Cloud Valley, so in this way, the problem of finding the Hongmeng Relic has also been solved.
The location of the Hongmeng relics is between the main city of Huangquan and the first vice city, the first vice city was shattered because of the war, and it is difficult to judge the exact location of the old site before, and although the main city of Huangquan was not destroyed, it was moved because of the war.
The two references were moved, and it was not easy to judge the Hongmeng Relic Treasure deep underground, but with the experience of finding the Lingyuan Stone, Li Mo judged that the most central area of this underground forest was where the Hongmeng Relic was located.
So they went deeper into the forest.
The qi of heaven and earth in the entire forest is very abundant, and only those with extremely keen perception can judge the subtle differences in concentration in different areas.
Coupled with Blackie's judgment, pathfinding is also very simple.
On the way, from time to time, I encountered some man-eating plants and brute beasts that emerged, but these were all pediatric compared to the Five Elements Beast.
After half a day's work, Li Mo finally reached the deepest part of the entire forest.
It is a huge deep stream that divides the forest in two, and it is not deep enough to see the bottom at a glance, and a black steel vein crosses it below, becoming a barrier to prevent outsiders from penetrating.
This vein of black steel is known for its extreme density, and although it is also classified as an eighth-grade mineral, it cannot be used to forge tools, and no one will go to great lengths to mine it.
"Looking at the situation here, the Twelve Astrologs have not excavated this place even if they have been here, and the Hongmeng Relic is still in this underground. ”
Li Mo was relieved when he saw this situation, and said with a smile.
Next, throw the mirror boundary on the vein.
Because it is an eighth-level, the speed of devouring is quite slow, but fortunately, the black steel vein is not deep, and it only covers a layer that is more than a zhang long underground.
As soon as the black steel veins bottomed out, the devouring of other veins seemed to be much faster.
Li Mo stood at the bottom of the cave, and as the swallowing of the realm in the mirror continued to move downward, the perceptual infiltration stratum extended extremely quickly.
This time was three days, and after opening up a layer of more than 1,000 zhang in the Mirror Realm, Li Mo suddenly noticed the existence of a huge object deep underground.
As he approached, Li Mo had already concluded that it was an isolated building.
He manipulated the Mirror Realm to change direction, and as such, moved to the front of the building. After devouring the surrounding strata, an antique temple appeared in front of you.
The stone door of the main hall was closed, like a dusty orb hidden underground for thousands of years.
"It's weird, there's not even a magic circle on this door?"
Liu Ningxuan observed it carefully, and was a little puzzled.
"It's indeed a bit strange, the map of this Hongmeng relic treasure is actually engraved on the Nine Dragons Floating Slaughter Array, which shows that this relic is by no means simple, and it should be protected by a magic circle. ”
Li Mo nodded, also confused, and then pushed the stone door.
The long-sealed door opened with a dull thud, and when you entered, you came to an empty hall.
The four stone pillars supported the temple, and there was nothing else, and the hall was empty.
What Hongmeng relics, there is not even a ghost shadow.
"It's really weird, Lingtai Guo spent a lot of effort to hide this big hall underground, and there is nothing? ”
Liu Ningxuan looked left and right, frowning high.
Li Mo walked in slowly, and when he arrived at the center of the main hall, his eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and Lingtong found that there was something hidden under the floor tile in front of him.
Five fingers and one piece, the floor tiles were grabbed by an invisible hand and moved aside.
Under the exposed floor tiles, there is suddenly a circular groove.
"This size, shouldn't it be ......?"
Li Mo took a closer look and suddenly understood something.
Then, he searched the surrounding area, and sure enough, the grooves hidden under the floor tiles were found one after another, and the number was nine.
Then, Li Mo flicked the ring and took out the Nine Dragons Floating Slaughter Array.
Placing a pillar on the groove, the fruit fits together perfectly, and as soon as it is put on, the lower layer of the originally gray floor tiles immediately exudes the luster of fireflies.
"I see, this Nine Dragons Floating Slaughter Array is actually the key!"
Liu Ningxuan suddenly realized.
Li Mo nodded and said: "So it's no wonder why there is no need to set up a formation outside the door, without the Nine Dragons Floating Slaughter Array, there is no way to open the door of the real treasure at all." ”
After inserting the ninth array pillar into the groove, the nine array pillars suddenly exuded a thick luster, and dragon shadows detached from the pillars and traveled through the main hall non-stop, and when the nine dragons converged in the center of the hall, a light gate suddenly appeared.
The fluorescent light is brilliant, and the color is overflowing, and just the entrance is filled with extremely dense heaven and earth qi, and it is conceivable that there must be an extraordinary treasure hidden behind this light gate.
Li Mo took Liu Ningxuan into the light gate, and Xiao Hei followed in with a snowball, and when the two of them and the two beasts disappeared into the palace, the light gate also disappeared.
Located in the center of the basin, the main city of Huangquan is the only one of the thirteen cities that can still be called a "city", because the city hides a strong defensive formation, and it is prevented from being destroyed in the civil strife and war of that year.
Still, the war left deep scars on this once-thriving city.
Dozens of streets, thousands of alleys, everywhere there are traces of destruction, collapsed buildings, collapsed sinkholes, everywhere.
The whole city was overgrown with weeds, ghost vines spread, and the slightest anger seemed lifeless.
But at this time, in front of a palace in the inner palace of the imperial city, there were two surging breaths.
The main hall has already collapsed most of it, the bricks and stones are piled up, and there is one person on the left and right in front of the hall.
On the left, a tall man stands with his arms crossed, he is dressed in a dark tiger-striped leather robe, with tiger stripes on his round face and a clear "king" on his forehead.
Vertical round eyes, thick black eyebrows, and a fierce face.
Although the main hall is three feet high, this person is only nine feet, but standing in front of this hall seems more majestic than the main hall, this person is the second ranked "Earth Tiger Star" Jiang Xuanwu in the twelve stars.
The one on the right is even more burly, he is dressed in a black chain mail suit, with thick black lips and beards on his square face, and his hair rises high at both ends, like bull horns, this person is Niu Zhaoliang, the third ranked "Earth Bull Star" in the twelve astrological phases.
The two of them each occupied one side, and stood like an iron tower, without saying a word.
After a while, I heard Niu Zhaoliang say lightly: "Since the fourth brother has arrived, don't hide your head and show your tail." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter from a large tree on the right, but there was no one on the branches.
When the laughter fell, I saw a figure slowly emerge from the tree, like a painter's sketch, and in the blink of an eye, it became a shape.
This is an old man with a thin face and monkey cheeks, sixty or seventy years old, short in stature, and unusually long arms, which is the fourth "earth monkey star" Hou Sixi in the twelve astrological phases.
"Hey, hey, the third brother's ears are really getting smarter and smarter, I just got to the tree, and you heard it. ”
Hou Sixi smiled deeply.
"Why do you need to use your ears, your rouge and gouache smell, this time you went out and went to the mortal land to visit the kiln, right?
Niu Zhaoliang said expressionlessly.
