The stone door was dark. Luo Qiqi took a step forward and threw out a few night-light pearls to illuminate the inside.
The two walked down the stone steps, and the sound of water roared from above, getting louder and louder.
Although it is under the river, it is not humid, but very dry, and the air is getting fresher and fresher, giving people a sense of sufficient spiritual energy.
"The spiritual energy is attracted from the river above. There is probably a special spirit gathering array!"
Looking around, Luo Qiqi lowered her voice.
"Yeah!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
It is estimated that a huge spirit gathering array was built in the river. The spiritual energy can be drawn from the ground without attracting attention.
With the injection of these spiritual energy, even if it is underground, it is definitely a treasured place for cultivation, and people will not feel suffocated.
Squeak!
After walking for a while, I heard a roar from above. When I looked up, I saw that the door just now had closed and disappeared.
"Oops..."
His face darkened, and he hurried back to the starting point, only to find that an agency had blocked the incoming passage.
"It's a dragon-breaking lock that can only be forged by a six-star heavenly engineer!" Luo Qiqi's face turned pale.
"Well! It seems that the other party said that there is only one chance to choose. It is true. Once the dragon-breaking lock is locked, it will be difficult for a six-star heavenly engineer to open it. We probably won't be able to get out, and no one else can come in!"
Zhang Xuan looked solemn.
Previously, I could only choose one to enter the sound coming from the stone bridge. I thought it was just a casual comment, but now it seems that it is true!
I saw the Broken Dragon Lock last time in Shaman Soul Tomb. Once it is locked, it must be broken with brute force that exceeds that of a six-star heavenly engineer. Otherwise, no other method can be thought of.
In other words, once this thing hits, the two of them can only be trapped here, unable to leave from the original road.
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Luo Qiqi looked over.
In the same grade in the college, she was considered a powerful figure, but in front of Master Zhang, she always felt as if she knew nothing. She didn't know when she had formed a dependence in her heart, and she felt that the ideas he gave must be the best.
.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to clearly think that what Yu Fei'er said was right, and still come with Master Zhang in the end.
"Since we can only choose one passage, it means that Xing Yuan and the others must have been locked by the Broken Dragon Lock. Let's keep going. Let's get down. It's not necessarily a dead end..."
Zhang Xuan frowned and said.
"Um!"
Luo Qiqi also understood and nodded.
The two of them continued walking down, and after a short time, they came to a small room. Under the light of the night pearl, there was a stone table and two stone benches, which looked very simple.
The room had no windows or doors, it was like a dead end.
"So small?"
Luo Qiqi frowned.
The previous main hall was hundreds of square meters. I thought that since this was a real underground palace, it would be at least bigger. Unexpectedly, it only had an area of 20 to 30 square meters and had nothing. It didn't look like an underground palace, but it was somewhat similar to a prison.
.
"The end? Could it be...that we really went wrong?"
Zhang Xuan also looked ugly.
Choosing this path is not random, but has a certain basis, but... looking at the situation in front of me, the room is narrow and there is no passage. Is it possible that I really made the wrong choice?
Are you going to die trapped here?
"Whether it's right or wrong, building such a deep underground passage and putting down the Broken Dragon Lock shouldn't just be a small room like this. Maybe there is some mechanism here like before!"
After looking around for a week, Zhang Xuan suppressed the anxiety in his heart and spoke.
The Broken Dragon Lock is an extremely precious thing even for a six-star Heavenly Engineer. Let’s not talk about the skills of the mechanism, but just talking about the defense that is difficult for ordinary saints to break through, it cannot be achieved by ordinary materials.
Using such a precious thing to seal the passage just to cover up such a small room is inconsistent with reason and emotion.
"I'll look carefully!"
Luo Qiqi responded, and came to the stone table first, stretched out her hand to touch it, and pulled it back with a touch of her fingers, with a look of astonishment on her face: "There is no dust!"
Zhang Xuan also came to the front, stretched out his hand to touch it, and his face tightened.
This stone table and bench has been placed here for who knows how many years, but there is no dust at all. It is clean and tidy, as if someone cleans it from time to time...
"Could it be...that someone lives here?"
Luo Qiqi's pupils shrank.
It's just that the pronunciation of the machine is acceptable, and there are still people alive... That's different!
The danger will increase significantly!
This is the living force that was able to capture the six-star peak weapon refiner Wu Yangzi back then... There is no doubt that it is powerful!
If anyone is really alive, it will definitely be difficult to escape with their strength!
"I took away the formation flags outside one by one. According to my observation, these formation flags have been guarding this place. No one has touched it for at least two thousand years... For more than two thousand years, they have stayed in the underground palace and not left? No.
People have such a long lifespan!”
Zhang Xuan said with a solemn expression.
After entering the Mortal Realm, one's physique has jumped, and after being baptized by the Life-Expanding Realm, one's lifespan is only two or three hundred years old, and it cannot be higher!
Even if you reach the saint level, your life level will change again, and your life span of one thousand years will come to an end. I have never heard of any saint who has a life span of more than two thousand years.
Even the heavenly being Master Kong disappeared into the long river of history and did not survive forever.
The formation flag of the underground palace has not been moved for more than two thousand years, which means that no one has come out. They have been locked in the cave for so long and are still alive... How is it possible?
Even Mo Hunsheng, who was the longest-lived soul shaman master at the time, would not have been able to live for such a long time without the protection of the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo and continued to experience five declines in his soul power.
"Then...since no one is alive, why is there no dust here?"
Luo Qiqi also knew this principle, but the table in front of her was clean and tidy, as if someone had wiped it frequently.
You know, this is a cave, with rocks and dust. The accumulation of dust is inevitable. No one is alive... How to explain this?
"This...I don't know. Don't worry about it now. The first priority is to find out if there is a mechanism before leaving here. Otherwise, if you are trapped here, no matter how much food is in the storage ring, it will always be consumed.
Have a clean day!”
Zhang Xuan interrupted her random thoughts.
The most important thing now is not to study whether anyone is coming. It is such a big cave, even if someone can see it, there is no need to worry.
The most important thing to do now is to hurry up and find a way out before escaping. Otherwise, no one knows what will happen as time goes by.
He didn't want to take part in a trial and die trapped here.
"Um!"
Luo Qiqi nodded and hurriedly touched the surrounding walls.
Zhang Xuan also touched the wall with his fingers, and at the same time whispered "Flaw!" in his head.
call!
A book appeared in my mind and I quickly opened it.
"Green steel rock is hard in texture. It grows underground and is formed by the collision of earth veins..."
After taking a look, Zhang Xuan was speechless.
The library of Tiandao can only be revealed by touching it. What he is touching now is the wall, not the mechanism, so the properties of the stone are naturally displayed.
Gently slide your fingers forward along the wall.
This place is a rock, so there must be a mechanism somewhere, but the opponent's methods are too clever, and the design of the mechanism is exactly the same as the rock, so you can't tell it.
Click!
As he was walking along the wall, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of a mechanical spring behind him, followed by Luo Qiqi's excited voice: "I found the mechanism!"
Turning her head hurriedly, she saw that the rock where Luo Qiqi's palm was was dented by a few inches, as if she had forced down some mechanism.
Creak! Creak!
The machine spring made a heavy sound, and a small stone door slowly opened in front of Luo Qiqi.
"Teacher, look quickly..."
With a shout, another palm took out a luminous pearl, and was about to throw it into the stone door to see what happened, when a palm suddenly stretched out from the inside with a "Hoo!", pinched her neck straight, and lifted it up.
.
This palm is extremely thick, like a human thigh, the muscles and joints are a bit bloated, and the skin is dark gray, not like a living person.
"Oops!"
This change happened so quickly that Zhang Xuan didn't even react. His pupils couldn't help but shrink, and his Tiandao body skills were activated, and he rushed forward suddenly.
When the person was halfway, the Bingyu Sword had already appeared in the palm of his hand. With a swipe in the air, a sword beam struck straight up.
Seeing the sharpness of the sword, he let go of Luo Qiqi's hand and flicked his finger.
bite!
The dark nails collided with the tip of the sword, and Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a huge force coming from him. His whole body seemed to be hit by a meteorite, and his chest felt tight as he flew straight back.
Bang!
His back hit the wall hard, creating a human-shaped hole. His throat felt sweet and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
His strength has increased greatly recently, and both his strength and means have made a qualitative leap. He even has a power that is comparable to the middle stage of the Seventh Mortal Transformation and Return to One Realm. However, in the end, he couldn't even resist a finger of the opponent!
"At least it has reached the eighth level of mortal transformation, or even... higher!"
His face was ashen, and Zhang Xuan's fingers holding the sword hilt turned white.
He used all his strength, and even used sword skills, but was bounced away by the opponent's fingernail, causing him to vomit blood. The opponent's strength may have already surpassed the Guiyi Realm, reached the eighth level of Mortal Transformation, and even higher!
Only with such strength can he have the power to make him feel desperate.
call!
He was knocked away and injured, and the opponent's huge palm grabbed Luo Qiqi again.
"hateful!"
Luo Qiqi also reacted at this time.
In any case, she is a top student trained by the Famous Teacher Academy, a peak powerhouse at the sixth level of mortal transformation. She didn't pay attention when her neck was pinched by the other party just now. She recovered at this time, let out a sweet shout, and stabbed out with a sword.
The light of her sword is like a white rainbow, dazzling and full of power. You can tell at a glance that her understanding and cultivation of swordsmanship are no worse than Zhang Xuan!
He actually reached the state of sword-fighting.
Hooray!
Seeing her resistance, his huge palm twitched violently.
bite!
The long sword in Luo Qiqi's hand immediately flew away and stuck diagonally on the towering wall, shaking continuously.
"Quickly retreat!"
Knowing that with their strength, they would definitely not be able to resist this big hand, Zhang Xuan used Tiandao Shenfa and came to Luo Qiqi at once. He lifted up the Zhenqi envelope and retreated to the corner in a flash.
