There are actually rivers crisscrossing the valley.
There are also traces of waterfalls in the mountains.
Without exception, all have dried up.
Only here, the lake has abundant water and its surface is like a mirror.
The trees on the shore of the lake are all beautiful and have turned into stone forests. There is not a single normal plant or tree. The shadow of the stone forest is reflected in the lake, which looks very strange.
"The poisonous pools in Zhenling Realm contain terrible poisonous water, and there are more than one place. It is suspected that the toxins floating in the valley come from these poisonous pools."
The strong man with armor on his back looked solemn and hesitant. The secret technique guided them to enter the Poison Pond to look for the corpse.
"Have the human race ever explored what's under the poisonous pool?"
The Dragon King stared at the bottom of the lake, but there was only darkness and the poisonous pool was unfathomable.
The strong man in armor shook his head, "These are real secrets, and it is almost impossible to leak them..."
"It seems that the only way to go and find out is in person."
The Dragon King's golden armor vibrated, and layers of golden light merged into it. The golden armor became several times thicker than before, wrapping his entire body inside.
Facing the Poison Pond, the Dragon King did not dare to take it lightly.
'puff!'
The Dragon King jumped into the lake, and his golden armor was submerged in the poison.
'Hiss...'
Eroded by the strong poison, the golden armor soon became pitted, and layers of golden light were extinguished. The venom was far more powerful than the toxins in the void.
The strong man with armor on his back also jumped in, and the shadow of the black turtle on the tortoise shell was spit out quickly to keep up with the erosion speed of the venom.
The two demons did not dare to delay and dived quickly.
Unexpectedly, the poisonous pool was much deeper than expected. Even after diving for a long time, they could not reach the bottom of the lake. Moreover, the space at the bottom of the lake was extremely vast. After some exploration, they found the edge of the lake bottom and found that there were underground rivers extending out in all directions.
The entire Zhenling Realm underground is probably filled with poisonous rivers crisscrossing each other, connecting poisonous pools one after another.
'Wow!'
The two demons jumped out of the water.
The situation was a bit tricky. They had to go deep underground to retrieve the dragon corpse and had to withstand the corrosion of venom for a long time. Fortunately, no ferocious beasts or other dangers were found underwater.
After some discussion, they decided to take turns to resist the strong poison. With secret guidance and clear goals, they should be able to withstand it.
The two demons adjusted their breathing for a while and walked to the shore. The Dragon King removed his golden armor, and the strong man with the armor opened his protective shield to wrap them up and entered the poisonous pool again.
This time, they followed the guidance of secret techniques and soon entered an underground river, traveling through a complex water network and changing directions one after another.
During this period they took turns taking action.
I don't know how far deep into the ground, the two demons' breath became rapid, and it became more and more difficult to resist the poisonous water.
The poisonous river not only corrodes the physical body, but also corrodes the spiritual consciousness. The underground water system is extremely complex and full of poisonous water. Without the guidance of the dragon corpse, it would be impossible for them to reach this point with their cultivation.
At this time, they crossed an underground river.
At the end of the underground river, there is a vast underground poisonous lake. There is a big stone at the bottom of the lake. When you lift the big stone, you find a square stone door!
The stone gate has long been integrated with the river bottom.
If you don't look carefully, it's easy to overlook the past.
The secret technique points to exactly behind the stone gate!
"right here!"
The two demons were overjoyed.
Sneaking in front of the stone door, the Dragon King gave it a gentle push, but it didn't move at all. There seemed to be a flash of light on the surface.
Seeing this, the two demons looked at each other and said in unison: "There is a restriction!"
"Fellow Taoist, go all out to break the ban. Don't worry about the venom. I can still hold on for a while."
The eyes of the strong man in armor shone brightly, the dragon corpse might be inside the stone gate.
The Dragon King concentrated on understanding the restriction, and tried to break it again and again, but made no progress, which made the strong man in armor become a little anxious. At this time, the Dragon King showed an expression of surprise on his face, "It is actually the ancient ban of the demon clan!"
"What, it's not a human race restriction?"
The strong man with armor on his back was extremely surprised.
"The ancient ban is complete and still very powerful. If it were the human race's ancient ban, I'm afraid we have no hope of breaking the ban and can only return in vain. Since it is the demon race's ancient ban, the dragon corpse combination should be ours!"
The Dragon King laughed heartily.
…
An unknown underground grotto.
A group of Wu Clan monks came out of the teleportation array and immediately took precautions. Everyone was safe and sound. They immediately set up their formation, carefully observed their surroundings, and found that they had been teleported underground.
The teleportation array is in an underground grotto, with a square stone platform underneath and nothing else.
The grotto does not look like it was dug by man. The rock is exposed, rugged, and the space is irregular. There is no trace of chiseling.
There are no stone pillars, witch formations, or restrictions.
The grotto was completely silent, and no one had come in for an unknown period of time.
This surprised everyone. They thought they would be transported to the ruins of the Wu clan, but they didn't expect it to be a place like this.
There is a corridor connected to the exit of the grotto, and there is darkness at the end, with the faint sound of water flowing.
Everyone discussed briefly, and it was still Fang Laomo who led the way.
After walking for a while, everyone arrived at the end of the corridor and were surprised to find a well on the ground, which was full of water, like the entrance to an underground river.
A Nascent Soul of the Wu Clan fired a stream of spiritual power into the river water, which was corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's a poisonous river!"
The man was startled, "What a powerful poison!"
"Why do our ancestors' teleportation array lead to a dead end? Should we go out and see where it is?"
Someone raised his head and suggested.
"No!"
The great witch Zhu flatly refused, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "I know where this place is. There is only one place in the valley called Zhenling Realm, and the poisonous pool exists. This poisonous river is connected to the water of the poisonous pool, and it should be there.
Near the Zhenling Realm. The Zhenling Realm is one of the most valued secret realms of the human race, and should not be acted upon rashly."
"Zhenling Realm?"
Seeing the solemn expression on the face of the great wizard Zhu, all the Nascent Souls did not dare to make any decisions.
"How much do you know about Zhenling Realm?" Fang Laomo suddenly asked.
"Not many," the great witch Zhu said helplessly, "the human race is very secretive about these secret realms. I only found a few ambiguous messages. It is said that there is a strange power in the Zhenling Realm, and only the late or mid-stage Nascent Soul can come and go freely.
"
"Doesn't it mean that only Great Witch Zhu and fellow Daoist Fang can enter?"
There was a commotion among the Nascent Souls, and someone said: "We didn't feel anything strange, maybe the rumors were falsified. You might as well go down and have a look. If you encounter any obstacles, it's not too late to come back."
"That's fine..."
Da Wu Zhu did not stop him.
As we went down, we found out that the toxin in the poisonous river was extremely powerful. We didn't last long before we were forced to retreat.
The underground situation was unclear, and the underground river had branches. Out of caution, everyone made arrangements and took turns to explore the path.
After repeated investigations, it was finally discovered that all branches of the underground river were connected to a large underground lake.
Fang Laomo led several Nascent Souls, and shortly after entering the Poison Lake, he suddenly felt a strange wave coming, and then a scream came from the side.
He didn't even look behind him, and only went to save people after making sure that the fluctuation had no effect on him.
Being in a poisonous lake, he was suddenly suppressed by the Zhenling Realm. One of the Wu Clan's Nascent Souls was caught off guard and was unable to resist the poisonous water. His body was corroded in an instant. Only the Nascent Soul was saved, and everyone else was injured.
