After rushing along the path pointed out by Liu Boyong for a while, the strength levels of the demon corpses and ghosts that intercepted Zhou Yang and the others had obviously improved, so much so that occasionally demons rushed past Zhou Yang and pounced on Liu Boyong and Yan An behind him. Two people.
Upon discovering this situation, Zhou Yang was not surprised but overjoyed, knowing that he was on the right track.
He didn't care what impact those fish that slipped through the net would have on the two people behind him, he just pushed forward violently with all his strength, and then pushed forward again.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Countless black smoke rose, but a magic circle was triggered by Zhou Yang, causing countless poisonous corpses to pour down from the top of the cave, and then burned into black smoke by the blazing "Qianyang True Fire" on his body.
Along the way, Zhou Yang has also experienced many attacks from magic array traps. The power of these magic arrays can only be said to be average. At most, they can make the golden elixir stage monks caught in them pause for a moment.
However, there are traps buried in the magic circle, and even the golden elixir stage monks may be severely injured if they don't pay attention.
For example, the poisonous corpse water that was poured down just now will corrode the body even if a Golden Core monk is touched by it. The body will be poisoned by corpse poison. Magical weapons below the fifth level will be contaminated by this corpse water in less than half a quarter of an hour. It will be corroded away from the magic prohibition in the magic weapon, and it will be completely scrapped.
This was just one of the more common traps. The most vicious trap Zhou Yang encountered was a resentful demon made with the secret techniques of ghosts.
This kind of resentful demon is a demonic monk who selects a determined monk and then tortures the other person in every possible way. When the opponent's resentment reaches its peak, he will kill him and extract his soul to refine the resentful demon. s material.
The resentful demon that Zhou Yang encountered was made from the soul of a monk from the Zifu period. He was hiding in a magic circle, and a sudden sneak attack almost broke through the "Qian Yang" on his body. "True Fire" defended and rushed into his body.
Once this resentful demon pounces into his body, even with Zhou Yang's now powerful spirit, he dare not say that he can block its attack.
Fortunately, the "Qian Yang True Fire" was powerful enough, so the various monsters encountered along the way were unable to cause any harm to Zhou Yang.
From this, we can also understand why Guo Jinhong let a monk from the Zifu period participate in this dangerous operation, and also asked him to take the lead in clearing the way.
I don’t know what Liu Boyong’s method is for precise navigation. Zhou Yang moved forward under his guidance without even getting sidetracked once. After he rushed all the way through the underground cave passage for nearly half an hour, his vision suddenly became clear. Once wide, we entered a huge underground cavern.
He glanced over and saw that the underground cave hall was at least three thousand feet long, nearly two thousand feet wide, and one hundred feet high. There were hundreds of black sarcophagi placed densely inside the cave hall.
In the center of these black sarcophagi is a circular altar with a height of more than ten feet. On the altar is a dark golden coffin that is three feet long and half a foot wide.
The dark golden coffin does not look like some kind of stone, nor does it look like metal. It is also different from wood. It can be said that it is neither gold, nor stone, nor wood.
Generally speaking, something like this that looks neither gold nor stone nor wood is definitely a rare and rare object in the world of immortality.
Sure enough, while Zhou Yang was still thinking about what material the dark golden coffin was made of, Liu Boyong, who followed him into the cave hall, had already shouted out the origin of the dark golden coffin. .
"Netherworld Ironwood! Could that be the legendary Netherworld Ironwood? Is there really someone in the world who has been to the Netherworld?"
Netherworld Ironwood!
Zhou Yang's attention was instantly attracted by the name of this strange spiritual creature.
Many things in this world have the word "Netherworld" in their names, but Zhou Yang knows that most of those spiritual creatures with the word "Netherworld" in their names are native to this world and are not the legendary ones.
of the underworld.
But when he saw Liu Boyong's shocked expression and listened to his words, it was obvious that this so-called "Netherworld Iron Wood" might really come from the legendary Netherworld!
"Senior Brother Liu, do you know the origin of that coffin?"
When Zhou Yang was curious and prepared to ask Liu Boyong for details, Yan An couldn't help but ask about it first. Apparently he didn't know what "Netherworld Ironwood" was before.
"If the legend is true, the material used to cast the coffin should be the legendary sixth-order Yin-attributed spiritual object [Netherworld Ironwood] that only grows in the Netherworld!"
"I have only seen records about this [Netherworld Ironwood] in a travelogue of a senior monk. It is said that this thing only grows in places with strong corpse energy in the Netherworld. It can only grow one foot every thousand years, and its texture is as hard as
Sixth-level spiritual gold is a weapon-refining treasure that is regarded as a holy object by demonic monks!"
While Liu Boyong was talking about the origin of the "Netherworld Iron Wood", he looked at the dark golden coffin with gleaming eyes, full of greed.
That's a sixth-level spiritual creature!
Although only demonic monks can maximize the use of sixth-level spiritual objects with Yin attributes, this does not affect their preciousness.
And what Liu Boyong didn't mention is that the coffin made from "Netherworld Iron Wood" has a special "life extension" effect.
If a cultivator seals himself in a coffin made of "Netherworld Iron Wood" before the end of his lifespan, he can temporarily seal the passage of his lifespan and will not die because of the end of his lifespan.
Liu Boyong is already over 900 years old, and he is not far away from the end of his life as a monk in the golden elixir stage.
Originally, he had lived for so many years, and with no hope of promotion to Nascent Soul, he had already been mentally prepared for the end of his lifespan.
But there was only one thing that he couldn't let go of, and that was the worry that the "Heavenly Sword Sect" he had built with his own hands would decline and lose its inheritance after he passed away because there were no Golden Core monks in charge of the sect.
The original arrangement he made for this was to work for Guo Jinhong in exchange for a certain degree of protection from the other party.
But now after seeing this coffin made of "Netherworld Iron Wood", another thought came into his mind.
If he could obtain this coffin, he could seal himself in the coffin, hide it within the sect, and then fake his death and announce to the outside world that he had passed away more than ten or twenty years before his end of life.
In this way, if someone wants to attack his Tiandao Sect for this reason, he can rush out at the critical moment, catch the enemy off guard, and eliminate these enemies who are trying to subvert his Tiandao Sect's inheritance.
"According to what Senior Brother Liu said, since this [Netherworld Iron Wood] is so precious and rare, the Black Evil Master is probably buried in that coffin, right?"
When Liu Boyong was thinking about how he should put the dark golden coffin into his pocket, Yan An's words made his face change and he was stunned for an instant.
yes!
He all knew that the "Netherworld Iron Wood" coffin had the effect of sealing the passage of life span, so would the "Master Heisha" who made this coffin not know about it?
In this way, if what Yan An said is true, then there is "Master Heisha", an evil cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, buried in the coffin. It is still unknown whether he has really died!
"Senior Brother Liu, why do you look so ugly? Could it be that you discovered something?"
Zhou Yang had been paying attention to Liu Boyong's expression. When he saw the sudden change in his face, he immediately realized something and quickly started to inquire.
"Nothing, I just heard what Junior Brother Yan said, and then I thought about the life of Master Heisha. If it is as Junior Brother Yan said, the remains of the other party are in that coffin, I am afraid we will not be able to easily complete the task assigned by Master!
"
Liu Boyong's expression changed, but he did not truthfully tell the truth. He only used implicit words to remind him of the danger.
"Senior Brother Liu, do you mean that you are worried that the body of Master Heisha will transform into a corpse?"
Yan An frowned, and as expected, Liu Boyong's words led him to think elsewhere.
The so-called "corpse transformation" means that some high-level monks are unwilling to destroy the treasures they have accumulated throughout their lives, and do not want others to easily obtain these treasures, so they do some tricks to their corpses before they are laid to rest.
In this way, when someone enters their place of incarnation and collects the treasures they left behind, their corpses will suddenly explode with power and attack the treasure-collecting monks.
Based on what the "Heisha Zhenren" did during his lifetime, it is perfectly normal for the other party to leave such a method before his death.
However, Zhou Yang always felt that Liu Boyong's words were somewhat untrue, and felt that the other party was hiding something.
After all, "corpse transformation" is not something difficult to guess. In fact, when he saw the dark golden coffin, he had the same guess in his mind.
Therefore, he felt that if it was just a simple "death transformation" conjecture, Liu Boyong, an eighth-level golden elixir monk, would not be so eclipsed.
It's just that these are his feelings and speculations, and he can't express them verbally. At the moment, he can only be vigilant secretly without saying anything more.
The biggest regret in his heart at this time was that he didn't bring that old ghost Xu Song over. Otherwise, with his knowledge and attainments in the devil, he should be able to give him a lot of safety advice in this environment.
"Then according to Senior Brother Yiliu, what should we do next?"
Yan An frowned and looked at the hundreds of silent sarcophagi in the underground cave hall. He looked at Liu Boyong with a worried expression and asked about his next move.
Strangely enough, after they entered this underground cave hall, no demon corpses or ghosts came to attack them. It seemed that this place was a forbidden area that the demon corpses and ghosts outside could never enter.
"us……"
When Liu Boyong heard Yan An's inquiry, he was about to open his mouth to tell his plan, but before he finished speaking, his face changed, and he suddenly stopped talking and looked in a certain direction deep in the cave hall.
Um?
Seeing this, Zhou Yang and Yan An couldn't help but be startled, and then they couldn't help but follow his gaze.
At the edge of another cave hall more than 1,500 feet away from them, three Jindan monks wearing vermilion robes suddenly walked in from a passage behind them.
"It's the red-browed old monster from Lihuo Sect, they are here too!"
Yan An whispered in his mouth and told the origins of the three new golden elixir stage monks.
