Chapter 44: Cave Robbery

There was a gap on one side of the altar-like stone platform, and there were several steps below, and Lao Mai stepped on it with his foot, feeling that it was as strong as a stone slab, and slowly walked up to the dusty stone platform.

The middle of the stone platform was empty, and there was a square pattern on the ground that was more than one meter or two meters wide, and there were many, very complex and strange patterns painted on it, which could be faintly seen through the thick dust.

Lao Maiyun took up the idea of decomposing runes usually used in the sea to scan the patterns on the ground, since the advanced Jindan period, after the success of the formation of the sea tree, the shiny runes flying from the rune skin are directly into the exercise tree, no longer automatically displayed in the sea of knowledge, to see the exercises in the exercise tree, you have to use the idea of decomposing the runes.

He wanted to use the idea of breaking down the runes to decipher the pattern on the altar floor, and if the pattern inside was a rune, it would be possible to decipher it.

Lao Mai scanned these patterns for a while, and really slowly showed them in his sea of knowledge, it was indeed a rune, yes, if it wasn't a rune, it wouldn't be read and displayed in the sea of knowledge.

Obviously, these runes are not what Lao Mai has ever seen, and the meaning can be vaguely seen that this is a rune of a formation, and what formation it belongs to is not in the content of the runes that he has touched.

Lao Mai thought about it for a long time, and there was a possibility in his heart, who would set up a formation underground, there is only a hole path here, there is nothing to protect, it can only be ...... Could this be a teleportation array?

"Teleportation Array?!" Lao Mai suddenly thought of this, and couldn't help but feel excited, he had never been in contact with the teleportation array, if it was a real guy, it would be cool, there was actually a legendary teleportation array here, and he could get in touch with new things again.

In recent years, he has always devoted himself to the study of the formation talisman, in order to make up for the shortcomings of his own condensation into the Dan method, which led to the weak attack after the advanced Jindan, and also presided over the formation of two composite defense prohibition arrays, and the understanding of the formation of the prohibition is not ordinarily deep.

Lao Mai carefully looked at the other things on the stone platform, there was a fan-shaped stone wall, which had collapsed in half, and there were many stone bricks scattered on the side, not only that, but there was also a crack in the ground over there.

The other half of the stone wall is still intact, painted with very complicated patterns, it is estimated that it is a formation rune, and those lines finally boil down to one round dot, each dot is inlaid with a gray-brown spar that is an inch square, and there is a large half-side pit in the center of the collapse.

As soon as I took a closer look, I found that there were already fine cracks on the spar, and I could sense that there was a small amount of unknown spiritual power inside, so it shouldn't be used a few times, could this be the space spirit stone that launched the teleportation array?

Lao Mai counted in the blink of an eye, there were still more than forty of them on the stone wall, all of which were densely covered with fine cracks, and then looked at the collapsed side, in addition to the broken stones, there were also a lot of space spirit stones scattered, among which there was a diamond-shaped spar several times larger that broke into several petals.

He immediately understood whether this was a scrapped teleportation array or a long-distance two-way teleportation array, because there was an array eye to guide it, so it could go back and forth in both directions.

The teleportation array driving law plane not only has a large number of ethereal spirit stones, but also a main spirit stone that is the eye of the array, obviously the formation is overwhelmed when the teleportation is activated, and the main spirit stone is broken, causing the entire teleportation array to collapse in half, and this formation has been scrapped since then.

For what reason, who scrapped it, Lao Mai couldn't guess, but from the perspective of the formation, it should be overwhelmed and scrapped.

He looked up and down left and right for a long time, pinched ten fingers with both hands, and quickly played dozens of tricks, only to see those broken stones spliced together, flying back to the stone wall one by one, and in less than a while, the entire teleportation array drove the law face stone wall and restored it to a complete wall.

The ethereal spirit stones that had been scattered on the ground were embedded back into runic dots, and even the large main spirit stones that had been split into several pieces returned to the central pit of the fan stone wall, forming a diamond-shaped whole piece, and inlaid on it decently.

It seems that this ancient teleportation array can actually return to its original appearance under Lao Mai's exquisite soil control technique in the middle of Jindan.

But under a closer look, the restored driving law face stone wall is just a blank appearance, the stones are all complete, but those ethereal stones are still cracked, there is not a trace of cracks, Lao Mai just uses soil control techniques for physical restoration, as long as it is not gold, non-wood, non-water and non-fire, and things made of earth-based materials, nothing can be restored as it is.

However, the spirit stone is the crystallization of the condensation and energization of the essence of the five elements, and the spar here is still a non-space spirit stone of the five elements, so it is not something that Lao Mai can restore, even if it is an earth-based spirit stone, he does not understand the method of condensing and energizing the essence of the spirit stone, and it is impossible for him to restore the cracked spirit stone.

Lao Mai looked at the main spirit stones that had been put together, and they were still broken together, knowing that he didn't have the ability to truly fuse them, he sighed and went to look at other things.

He stretched out his hand and counted, there were a total of nine nine hundred and eighty-one dots on the stone wall, including the point at the location of the main spirit stone in the center, after the scattered small pieces of ethereal spirit stones were inlaid back, at a glance, there were four missing in the corners.

Lao Mai knew the exercises he used, not to mention the leftover powder underground, there was no trace of dust, and all of them were restored by him to the stone wall law, even if it was an ethereal stone.

Looking at every corner of the cave again, there is not even a single stone that is suspected of being an ethereal stone, and the ground paved with bluestone slabs is as smooth as ever, and there is no debris around it.

Lao Mai lit the long flashlight, slowly looking for it on the way back and forth, and finally picked up one next to a sitting giant skeleton, which was quite complete, basically no cracks, but then walked forward, after a few giant bones did not find the ethereal stone, and there was no more on the road, and the things on the soil were absolutely delicate to Lao Mai's eyesight.

He had no choice but to turn back into the cave, look at the other path, and for a long time he decided to continue walking to see where that side leads.

Lao Mai then turned on a long flashlight, walked over there step by step, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly found a giant skeleton, counting from the direction to this, it was already the seventh skeleton, but on the ground on its side, there was no trace of the ethereal stone.

He continued to walk forward, and faintly felt that he was no longer going down, but going up obliquely, estimating that the cave where the teleportation array was placed just now was deliberately buried deep underground, and the passages on both sides were coming, probably leading to the outside, so the direction was inclined upward.

Lao Mai was faintly looking forward to and excited in his heart, and quickened his pace for a while, anyway, it was impossible for the things on the ground to escape his pure earth sensitive senses, and three giant skeleton fossils were found on the road one after another, sitting or lying, and there were still broken fabrics around them.

On this side, it is not as long as the hole path when it came, and it takes less than half an hour to reach the end, and Lao Mai can't help but be a little dumbfounded when he sees that there is no way out in front of him, and there is a huge granite block in front of him.

He took a flashlight and looked around, and found that there was a small skeleton lying in the depression of the cave wall on the left, so he walked over to take a closer look, but it was a normal human skeleton, about 1.5 meters tall.

It was also covered in tattered ancient short-cut clothing, obviously not of the same age as the fossilized bones of the giants, except for the bones and rags, and a semicircular shovel of earth-digging tools thrown next to it.

"It turns out that this is the skeleton of an ancient inverted tomb robber," but he thought again, "How can the tomb robber dig so deep, this place is at least more than a kilometer above the ground, and there are hundreds of millions of years of stubborn stones blocking the way along the way, could it be that this person is also a cultivator?"

Lao Mai unfolded his divine sense, carefully invaded this skeleton to observe, and according to the bone quality, he could vaguely calculate that this person was really a cultivator, and his cultivation was about to exceed the ninth stage of qi cultivation in the late stage of fusion, and he had already achieved the realm of great perfection of qi training.

But the cause of his death is not the end of Shouyuan, but the death of an accident, obviously strangled by someone else's luck, it seems that this skeleton throat bone is broken, chest ribs are comminuted fractures, obviously, it is for the master to break through the Tanzhong acupoint and die.

Failing to build a foundation and successfully advance to the innate realm, just like a secular martial artist, abolishing the dantian just can't cultivate, and there is no obstacle to life, but the Tanzhong acupoint is a dead acupoint, and those who cultivate the true qi below the congenital foundation will die as soon as the Tanzhong is broken, and the gods and ghosts are difficult to save.

Once Lao Mai broke through this section, he immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck, and looked around to find a way out, since this place was blocked by a 10,000-year-old stubborn stone, it was definitely not what happened after this person came in, there must be other ways to find.

The entire cave path was blocked by boulders, the space here was so big, Lao Mai couldn't find a little passage out after looking for a long time, and he also used the true yuan force to assist, and the cave walls in this area were poked one by one, and there was no sign of a hole at all.

He couldn't help but wonder for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he had to go back, but when he retreated only a few dozen meters, he found at a glance that a shadow on the left near the cave wall seemed to have a hole entrance.

Fang Cai Lao Mai walked all the way, all of them were paying attention to see if there were traces of ethereal stones on the ground, and the upper half of the cave path was muddy and he had not paid attention to it, and now he had retreated, and he had looked at them one by one, and he would naturally find abnormalities.

When you look at it closely, it's really a circular hole, and it looks like a thief hole just big enough for a person to get through.

Lao Mai first returned to the altar-shaped teleportation array, threw down a piece of positioning talisman paper, and made a positioning talisman array, and then returned to this hole, and did not use the method of earth escape, but only rose up from the qi, used the true yuan power to condense the protective body, and drilled into the thief hole.

This thief hole was really cleverly dug, zigzags all the way around the huge ancient stubborn rocks, all the way up to the top.

Lao Mai meandered all the way along the thief hole, about half an hour, climbed through thousands of meters of the hole, and finally came to a ten-meter square cave, the cave actually shines through the sky, is this to the surface?

He stood in the cave and looked out, and it turned out that this place was actually a sinkhole, and outside was the steep cliff wall of the gourd-like mountain, and through the gap, he could see the stone wall covered with lush vines and dwarf trees.

This is a small sinkhole that has been naturally sunken, and it is obviously very old, and there are traces of countless years in both grass and rock.
