Chapter 262: Boulder
"Everyone, keep moving forward. What we are looking for should be right in front." Yu Tianyang said to everyone with a calm expression.
"Everyone, watch your steps. I heard from Senior Brother Li Qun that there are many traps in this place." Huang Jinrong also reminded everyone at this time.
Xu Tao mingled among a few people and was cautious all the way.
This team is the third batch of monks sent to the Relic Palace.
There are seven people in the team, namely Xu Tao, Han Xiaodie, Huang Jinrong, Leng Zhinan, and Yu Tianyang.
Apart from these five, the last two remaining are still disciples of Yigu, they are Situ Shaokang and Wei Dandan respectively.
The mission of Xu Tao and the five others is to escort Situ Shaokang and Wei Dandan into the palace and obtain the poisonous plant that can be used to make the antidote.
The dim passage leads nowhere.
Although some blood stains could occasionally be seen around, no bodies were seen.
There are rows of torches stuck on the stone walls on both sides of the passage. These torches will automatically light up when someone passes by. The atmosphere in the entire passage is dangerous and strange.
Suddenly, Huang Jinrong felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet, and instantly a chill ran down his back.
"Everyone, get out of the way, I stepped on a trap!" Everyone reacted quickly. The moment Huang Jinrong made a sound, they all moved back in unison.
And just as Huang Jinrong released his foot, long arrows flew out of the stone walls on both sides of the passage and shot at everyone!
These arrows are not ordinary things used in the secular world. Every arrow here is made of materials from the immortal world.
These arrows are at the level of spiritual weapons at least!
To be able to use so many spiritual arrows to set up traps, I have to say that the ancient monk was really wealthy.
In today's world of immortal cultivation, there should be no sect that is so arrogant.
Even the Weapon Sect, which mainly focuses on refining weapons, would not be so arrogant.
After escaping a wave of hidden arrow attacks, Xu Tao, Han Xiaodie and others heard a rumbling sound approaching them before they could breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?" Everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Look behind you!" Leng Zhinan looked in the direction behind him with a horrified expression.
Everyone looked back and saw a round boulder rolling towards them.
Han Xiaodie took the lead and struck out with a sword towards the boulder, hoping to break the boulder into pieces.
Unexpectedly, Han Xiaodie's attack landed on the boulder far away and had no effect at all!
Others followed suit, but with their combined efforts, they couldn't even break the boulder!
"Let's go!" Yu Tianyang shouted, and the two disciples who were protecting the Medical Valley hurriedly ran forward with everyone.
"Rumble..." The sound of rolling boulders kept ringing, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Xu Tao and others ran forward wildly, but the boulder kept chasing them, making them afraid to stop.
"What should I do?" Wei Dandan asked anxiously.
Xu Tao looked at the stone walls on both sides and had an idea in her mind.
She pulled out her long sword and slashed at the stone wall on the side. As expected, the stone wall became a little loose.
efficient!
Seeing Xu Tao's actions, everyone understood what she was thinking.
This method may work!
Others also followed suit, slashing at the stone wall.
Finally, a second before the boulder rolled down, the man broke a hole in the stone wall and successfully hid in it.
The boulder rolled past the place where a few people were standing. Judging from the looks of it, it might not stop for a while.
When everyone saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, fellow Taoist Xu came up with this solution. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been chased by this boulder for how long!" After the crisis was resolved, Wei Dandan immediately thanked Xu Tao.
"Yes, thank you so much, fellow Taoist Xu!"
"Thanks to you!"
Xu Tao waved her hand, "Don't be so polite. Since we entered this palace together, we should naturally help each other."
Xu Tao has a humble attitude and is not arrogant at all.
This made everyone have a good impression of her, and they thought that the daughter of a powerful person in the Tribulation Stage would be difficult to get along with. After all, some second-generation Xiu Xiu are indeed quite annoying.
However, Xu Tao seems to be different from those second-generation cultivators, and seems to be a pretty good person.
Having escaped this crisis, everyone plans to move on.
"Brother Situ, how long do we have before we can reach the place where the poisonous plant grows?" Leng Zhinan asked before setting off.
Situ Shaokang smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I don't know either."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Situ Shaokang had obviously been here once before. Logically speaking, he should know the road. How could he not know!
Among the last group of people who entered the Yifu together with Tian Buyu was Situ Shaokang, and this time he took the initiative to enter again.
The last time he came in, he was not injured because someone protected him.
This time, Situ Shaokang's mission was not only to retrieve the poisonous plant that could be used as an antidote, but also to lead the way.
But just now, he suddenly discovered that the passage he and others were taking was completely different from the route they took last time they entered.
In other words, the route he memorized last time cannot be used as a reference at all!
Situ Shaokang told everyone about the situation, and everyone fell silent for a moment.
No one expected that something that was originally very certain would now have such an unexpected outcome.
Is this second level of space always changing?
If that's the case, then it's useless even if they remember the location where the poisonous plants grow!
There was no other way. Since the route they memorized last time was no longer useful, they could only explore the ruins one more time. I hope they were lucky enough and everything went smoothly on this trip.
There is no turning back when you draw your bow. Now that you have come, there is no reason to go back.
After everyone discussed it, they decided to follow this road and take a look, maybe they would find something.
Just when everyone was about to leave, Han Xiaodie suddenly stopped everyone.
"Don't leave yet, look quickly to see if there is anything behind this stone wall!"
Han Xiaodie pointed to the stone wall behind everyone.
The stone wall was hacked into holes by them. Everyone was just trying to escape, so who would care whether the chop looked good or not.
It would be nice to have a hole for them to hide in!
Leng Zhinan stretched out his hand and gently touched the stone wall, and sure enough he felt a sense of looseness.
He pushed forward with a little more force, and the crumbling stone wall suddenly collapsed.
After a burst of smoke and dust, the scene behind the stone wall came into view.
Behind this stone wall is a stone room!
The stone chamber was originally dark, but after everyone stepped in, a burst of fire suddenly lit up.
It was the torches around the stone chamber that sensed someone entering and ignited on their own.
No one has entered this stone room for who knows how many years, and the stone room is filled with dust.
Seeing how dusty the stone chamber was, Xu Tao used a dust-clearing technique to carry away the dust with the wind.
Chapter completed!
