Mortal: Mo Juren seizes the body at the beginning Chapter 368: Corpses everywhere
After some spiritual exploration but with no results, everyone's eyes instantly turned to Cheng Yang. If he hadn't insisted just now, everyone wouldn't have even planned to come down.
"Yang'er, did you remember it wrong?"
"Impossible!" Faced with his father's inquiry, Cheng Yang was very firm and continued,
"This is the result I deduced based on my past memories. I can't say 100%, but I'm still 90% sure. As for why I can't find it, there may be other reasons."
Seeing that his tone was so sure that he was probably not lying, everyone had no choice but to let go of their spiritual senses and investigate carefully. Almost every inch of the island and under the sea was not missed.
This island does have some characteristics. Firstly, it is extremely desolate, even dead, and completely barren of grass. Secondly, it is the actual size of the island. It is true that it is not big above the sea, but there is a different look under the sea.
The larger the volume.
But apart from these, there seems to be no other abnormalities.
"Huh?" But at this moment, Qin Luan, who was investigating, suddenly changed his expression slightly, and even subconsciously let out a soft sigh.
"Have you found the sect master?" The man surnamed Zhou beside him asked softly.
"No" Qin Luan shook his head slightly and then said,
"I just feel something is wrong. Have you ever felt that this island looks unremarkable, but it contains some kind of weird fluctuations. It seems to be some kind of energy, but it doesn't look like it."
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing Qin Luan's reminder, everyone sensed it carefully. The energy did exist, but it was too thin. Unless the consciousness was strong enough, they would not be aware of it at all.
This naturally included Mo Juren. In fact, he had already noticed it from the moment he landed on the island, but he was not sure, so he didn't say much. After some perception and testing, he had a vague intuition in his heart.
This energy doesn't seem to be something serious, with a hint of 'evil'.
He couldn't help but frown and looked at everyone's faces, but he didn't see anything strange. He suddenly felt strange. Could it be that he thought wrong? This was just some kind of intuition, which seemed to be there or not, and it was really hard to be sure.
.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is the source-changing app,
Soon after, several more people sensed the existence of this energy, but unfortunately, that was all. As for the so-called ruins, there was no clue at all.
Just when everyone was in trouble, a burst of exclamations suddenly sounded, alarming everyone instantly.
The one who made the sound was Cheng Yang, who looked at his hand in surprise, a half-foot-long strange key that was emitting a faint light.
"Key!" Qin Luan, the leader of the Corpse Jade Sect, finally reacted and quickly flipped his palms. Suddenly, two identical keys appeared. Just like the one in the former's hand, the two keys lit up with a cold brilliance the moment they appeared.
.
Not only that, after all three keys appeared, they began to float slowly as if controlled by some invisible force, and finally gathered and hovered in the air more than ten feet above their heads.
"This..." Everyone looked surprised, but they almost guessed in their hearts that this must be some way to open the ruins, and it has already started to activate at this moment.
The three keys kept circling and flying, and the light they released became more and more dazzling.
In an instant, the position in the sky began to change again, and a gray light curtain covered with unknown runes suddenly emerged, like a huge gray cover, covering the entire island.
Mo Juren frowned, and there was a vague feeling in his heart. He couldn't explain why, but he always felt that this so-called ancient ruins might not be what he thought.
"The entire island has been blocked!" Everyone also felt a little strange. They were not exploring the ruins, but they looked as if they had fallen into a trap. I don't know what kind of formation the gray mask was caused by, but it actually had extremely powerful
With the shielding ability, the spiritual consciousness can no longer detect the outside situation. Some people even cast spells and magic weapons tried to attack several times, but it was of no use. The light curtain was unexpectedly strong.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and there was a hint of retreat in their hearts. The scene in front of them was not normal, but was indescribably awkward and weird.
Attack the light curtain with all your strength and leave? Forget it, no one wants to give up halfway at this time. Even if there is danger, you must at least try, otherwise if you make a wrong judgment, won't you regret it to death?
While thinking, the three keys have stopped turning and merged directly with the light curtain.
A sudden change occurred, the light curtains flashed continuously, and the entire island began to shake violently. The next moment, a black vortex with a diameter of two feet appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, and it was a path leading to an unknown area.
channel.
The moment they saw the whirlpool, everyone was surprised and happy. This must be the entrance to the ruins, but they didn't expect it to be opened easily in this way.
This saves everyone trouble. I thought it would take a lot of effort, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
The only uncertainty is, what is behind the whirlpool? Is it safe or dangerous?
Out of caution, everyone did not rush in immediately, but instead let go of their spiritual consciousness to explore the inside of the passage.
"Quiet and cold!"
This is a feeling shared by everyone, and there are no other abnormalities other than that.
At this point, everyone no longer hesitated and began to enter one after another towards the inside of the whirlpool. Mo Juren and the others were at the end, hesitating only slightly, and then followed closely.
……
"Is this the case?" After entering the whirlpool, everyone was a little surprised to find themselves in an unknown cave somewhere. It was empty and cold. Except for a slightly worn stone door on one side of the cave wall, there was nothing else.
Object.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little confused. When they were on the island, they had used their spiritual consciousness to explore the bottom of the ground. At least within their limits, they did not notice the existence of the cave.
From this we can know that this place is either deeper underground or has been transported to another area.
Perhaps due to the passage of time, the stone door is already fragile, and there is no restriction. It can be pushed open with just a little force, revealing a sloping downward staircase.
Everyone looked at each other without hesitation, and then walked towards the stone gate.
The stairs spiraled down, extending directly to the very depths of the earth. As it went deeper, the cold feeling became stronger and stronger, as if it could invade the mind. Some of the weaker Foundation Stage disciples couldn't help but tremble slightly. Halfway through the journey, all the Foundation Establishment Stage disciples who came with them had to take out various magical weapons and start activating them in order to resist the cold invasion.
In comparison, the monks in the Dan-formation stage are very relaxed. Just a layer of body-protecting divine light can offset most of the severe cold. And for Mo Juren, it has no effect at all. He does not need magic power to resist this cold.
It can't even penetrate his skin.
"How are you?" Looking back at the three Wang Ying women who were following closely, especially the two envoys on the left and right, it was obvious that they were not feeling well and had already activated their magic weapons.
"Thank you for your concern, senior. It's nothing serious." After hearing the inquiry, Fan Jingmei immediately replied.
It can be seen that the two women have no problem for the time being and can still hold on. However, Mo Juren waved his arm lightly, and two crimson rays of light flew out and flew into the hands of the two.
"This is the scale armor of the sixth-level fire-attributed monster, the Extremely Flame Python. You two should take it with you."
"Thank you, senior, for the treasure." Looking at the crimson scales that were half a foot long in their hands, the two women couldn't help but look happy.
Naturally, they know that the Extreme Flame Python is quite famous among the sixth-level monsters. It has countless scales on its body, and each one is a top-grade weapon refining material.
There is also the legendary reverse scale, which is the most precious part of all scales. The quantity is very small, but the quality is several times higher?
Such good things are basically priceless and can only appear in some auctions.
Although the two scales obtained by the two of them are just ordinary scales, they are equally valuable. The fire attribute energy they continuously emit is enough to show that they are extraordinary.
Naturally, there are reverse-scale Mo Juren, and the number is not large. However, there are countless ordinary scales like this, so it doesn't hurt to give away two.
He didn't say anything more, nodded slightly and continued to move forward. However, when the three Wang Ying girls behind him secretly looked at his back, a soft light flashed in their eyes.
About a quarter of an hour later, we finally reached the bottom of the stairs. However, the scene that greeted our eyes immediately shocked everyone.
This is an underground cave. The space is very large, more than a hundred feet square, but the ground below is covered by ice with a thickness of more than several feet. The most shocking thing is that there are dense layers of ice left under the ice.
Countless corpses, including humans and monsters, were spread all over the ground.
"This..." Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, but they were shocked in their hearts. Sure enough, the previous intuition was correct, this place is most likely not a good place.
I thought it was just a simple exploration of the ruins, but now it seems that things are far from simple as imagined. Looking at this situation, I don’t know what dangers I will encounter in the future?
Of course, I can't care about that at the moment. The bones on the ground in front of me are not just bones, but pieces of fat. Through the ice, you can clearly see the storage bags left behind by the dead monks.
The number is no less than a hundred.
This is an ancient monk, and the resources he possesses are far from what they are now. Thinking about what will be in the storage bag makes you feel hot.
There are also those monster beast bones, which can be determined to be above level five. Even if only the bones and scales are left, they are also excellent weapon refining materials.
Everyone was still a little vigilant. Both the Corpse Jade Sect and Kamikaze Island just ordered the accompanying Foundation Establishment Stage disciples to explore first, and only then followed after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
Mo Juren naturally did not lag behind. The legacy of the ancient monks would not disappoint anyone. He took Wang Ying and the three girls together and also started to get busy.
The reason for the hard ice on the ground is unknown. It is much stronger than imagined. Even though the manpower of Kamikaze Island and the Corpse Jade Sect have begun to dig, the progress is extremely slow. Just to dig out one area requires an alchemy-level person.
The monk spent a full quarter of an hour, not to mention the consumption of mana and magic weapon.
This is really beyond everyone's expectation. If it is just an ordinary ice layer, it shouldn't be so hard even if it is tens of thousands of years old?
After careful inspection, we found out that there was some kind of gray energy contained in the ice. Once the broken ice leaves the ice, this energy will quickly pass away and turn into ordinary ice.
What's even more strange is that this gray energy is exactly the same as what was noticed on the ground before, but it is much richer here than it seems to be there and not there.
From here, we can guess that we should be deeper in the island now and not being teleported away.
No one knows what gray energy is. But one thing is certain, this thing is definitely not simple, otherwise it would not change the properties of ordinary ice cubes?
Everyone did not delve into this matter. Just breaking the ice was enough to make everyone exhausted. How could there be time and energy wasted on this? Besides, a lot of harvest was right in front of them, and everyone was happy with it.
In about a quarter of an hour, Mo Juren took out the first storage bag first. There is no doubt that this style alone is not used by monks today.
He couldn't wait and immediately used his spiritual consciousness to explore it. After taking a look, his face changed slightly.
As his mind moved, a dagger-shaped ancient treasure appeared, followed by the second, third, and jade bottles containing elixirs, etc.
Having so many things can be said to be a "rich harvest", and it also made everyone nearby feel excited. However, there was no joy at all on his face.
After an inspection, Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh, then waved his arms, swept everything in front of everyone and said:
"I don't know if this is a special case, but everyone should take a look."
What's going on?
Everyone was a little confused. They should be happy with the harvest, but why were they so dissatisfied? It wasn’t until after checking the various items that flew in that they finally understood the reason.
Whether it is magic weapons, spiritual materials, spiritual stones, or even the elixirs in jade bottles, etc., everything has no aura and is a complete waste with no appearance.
Everyone was dumbfounded, but they couldn't figure out the reason.
According to common sense, not to mention things like ancient treasures, but elixirs, as long as the preservation method is perfect enough, the spiritual power can still be preserved even after tens of thousands of years.
The situation here is even more special. Although it has not been specially preserved, it is still frozen. Ordinarily, this should not be the result, at least it should not be that everything loses its spiritual power?
No matter how hard everyone racked their brains, they couldn't figure out the reason, and they continued to dig unwillingly.
Unfortunately, as one storage bag after another broke through the ice, the situation inside was no different. There was no spiritual power left in any of them, as if they had been specially sucked away.
It’s not just the storage bags, the monster bones, scales, etc. encountered during the process are also in the same situation.
Faced with this reality, everyone could only look at each other helplessly and smile bitterly. They had no choice but to accept it.
Fortunately, it is not that there is really nothing to gain. At least there are also a lot of various types of jade slips left behind. Among them are exercises, secret techniques, etc. Although they originate from ancient times, many of them are no longer suitable for the current environment, but they still remain the same.
It is an extremely rare good thing and has great reference value.
