Dong Yuejun and the others entered Wuyuan Secret Realm two days ago. The discharged silt has already been filled back. Coupled with the activities of fish and water flow, it is difficult to find the previous traces, so we can only explore bit by bit.
Ye Fan searched for a few minutes and felt that it was too inefficient to continue like this, so he hugged Li Ruoxin and left the bottom of the lake.
"Brother Ye, why did you come out?"
"The lake is not deep, so I plan to be more bold." Ye Fan smiled, "You stay away, and don't get too close."
"Um."
Li Ruoxin nodded, quickly retreated twenty or thirty meters, and hid behind a big tree.
Ye Fan jumped into the lake, his strength clinging to the soles of his feet, and he stood on the water.
"drink!"
He raised a hand, his strength surged crazily, and then a pair of wings formed on his back, leaping up and flying five meters above the lake.
His hand rolled quickly, and his strength came out of his body, directly hitting the lake water.
The lake quickly overflowed, and then formed a whirlpool. As the centrifugal force continued to rise, it was drawn into Ye Fan's martial strength.
"Crash!"
A water column suddenly rose into the sky, rolling up a large area of mud at the bottom of the lake.
The lake water suddenly became turbid, and a large amount of silt was cleared from an area at the bottom of the lake.
"not here!"
Ye Fan moved more than twenty meters to the side and continued in the same way.
Ten minutes later, Ye Fan suddenly stopped, then plunged into the water.
After a while, he came out again.
Li Ruoxin quickly walked to the lake and said, "Brother Ye, have you found it?"
"Yes!" Ye Fan nodded, without any nonsense, and picked up Li Ruoxin lazily, with strength surging around his body, forming a circular shield.
The two entered the bottom of Shangjin Lake. At this time, the mud in this area had been rolled up almost, leaving a deep pit twenty to thirty meters wide.
The silt of Shangjin Lake is deeper than the lake water, with a depth of five to six meters, which is equivalent to the height of a two-story building.
Just now, Ye Fan was walking in the mud and found something strange like ghosts.
At this time, more than one hundred cubic meters of silt was cleared from this area, and hard rock soil was already visible underneath.
At the edge of the area, a strange flat stone lay quietly. The stone was completely purple and very hard.
The moonlight can also reflect the light on this purple stone slab through the turbid lake water.
Ye Fan's strength surged around his body again, clearing away the mud near the purple stone slab, and then jumped into the bottom of the pool to disperse the surrounding lake water.
Ye Fan and Li Ruoxin stepped on the purple stone slabs, and a warm and cold air flowed into the soles of their feet.
"Good ice! Ye Fan, could this stone slab be the entrance to the underground secret realm?" Li Ruoxin asked.
"Have you ever seen an entrance like this to a secret realm?" Ye Fan shook his head, "If I guessed correctly, this should be a secret entrance to a building outside the secret realm."
"The building outside the secret realm?" Li Ruoxin was very surprised.
"That's right! This time I went to Europe, and there was a secret place on top of an ancient castle." Ye Fan frowned slightly.
"It's just that there are no signs of being moved on this stone slab. It's obvious that Xiaojun and the others didn't enter through this secret entrance."
"Is there another entrance here?" Li Ruoxin asked.
"Maybe." Ye Fan breathed out.
He reached out and touched the stone slab, and was slightly startled, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"This is not an ordinary slate, but...purple snow jade!" Ye Fan took out a small jade pendant from the space stone and handed it to Li Ruoxin's hand.
Suddenly, a feeling of ice surged into Li Ruoxin's heart.
However, his Dantian was warm, his Qi was slowly pulsing, and he entered a state of independent cultivation.
"How amazing!" Li Ruoxin was stunned, "Is this Purple Snow Jade?"
"Purple Snow Jade is an unusual treasure, praised as a cold jade. Its texture is transparent and purple, and its density is extremely high, which is of great benefit for cultivation.
Of course, not everyone can afford Purple Snow Jade.
I found this piece of purple snow jade from a large sect, and it is the only one in the entire treasure house, which shows how precious it is.
But the stone slab under our feet is more than one square meter, and its thickness should not be underestimated. It is estimated that thousands of jade pendants like mine can be made!"
"Wow, what a big deal!" Li Ruoxin suddenly exclaimed.
"Well, good things can't be wasted. Take this purple snow jade slab away when you leave!"
Ye Fan chuckled, then opened his claws and pried out the purple snow jade bit by bit.
"Tsk!"
The purple snow jade was lifted up in one piece by Ye Fan, and a purple jade tunnel one foot deep appeared below. Going down from the top, there were twenty or thirty layers of purple snow jade stairs.
In the past, the tunnel was blocked by purple snow jade, so the lake water above could not flow into it.
Even though it was lifted up by Ye Fan at this time, Ye Fan used force to isolate the lake water, so the bottom was still dry.
Li Ruoxin stood close to the tunnel and looked at it, "Brother Ye, you are so awesome! Shall we go down directly?"
"Well, I don't care about that anymore, let's get down!"
Ye Fan asked Li Ruoxin to go down first, while he continued to urge Wu Jin, turned around, covered the purple snow jade slab, and withdrew Wu Jin.
The purple snow jade stone slab has a high density and can seamlessly seal the entrance, preventing lake water from pouring in at all.
Ye Fan confirmed that it was correct and pulled Li Ruoxin down the tunnel.
Both the stairs and the walls of the entire tunnel are made of purple snow jade. Looking at the four walls, it seems like daytime, with almost no blind spots.
Ye Fan was amazed.
If the purple snow jade plate before only made Ye Fan slightly amazed, his expression now is one of astonishment.
He just made a small calculation casually. His piece of purple snow jade was not a common treasure, and ordinary warriors flocked to it.
Liu Dakui, a member of the hidden ancient tribe in East China, once wanted to purchase this purple snow jade and offered 100 million.
Now, he saw that this deep corridor was at least several hundred meters long. The four walls were all made of purple snow jade. With this thickness and this length, it weighed tens of thousands of kilograms.
That means that the purple snow jade used in this tunnel alone is worth tens of trillions, or even hundreds of trillions!
Damn, it can be compared with the GDP of the entire China in one year!
When Ye Fan thought of this, he couldn't help but be speechless, "It's unrealistic to dig them all out in one go, so it's better to keep them and take your time.
The market is very important. Too much influx will easily lead to inflation. By then it will be worthless, and I will still be the loser!"
"Ye Fan, what are you talking about?" Li Ruoxin asked in a low voice.
"Nothing, just follow me."
Ye Fan waved his hand and walked forward cautiously. His eyesight was very sharp. If he saw anything wrong, he could spot it immediately.
However, it seems that there is nothing in this Purple Snow Jade Corridor that might trigger the trap.
As Ye Fan's pace continued to accelerate, the 100-meter purple snow jade corridor came to an end in just a cup of tea.
At the corner of the corridor, there is an open area about an acre in size, and the surrounding area is also made of purple snow jade.
It's just that compared to the smooth corridor before, this place looks quite bloated. The surrounding jade walls are also undulating, as if they are carved with waves.
"As expected of the Bauhinia Cave! There is a building of this scale at the bottom of Shangjin Lake!"
Ye Fan took a breath of air. Walking more than a hundred meters along the way made him feel frightened. Fortunately, everything was fine so far.
He looked around, slowly walked towards the side of the space facing the corridor, and groped for the jade.
"Xiao Li, something is wrong..." Ye Fan was a little confused, "Why do I feel...this doesn't look like a secret realm..."
"Brother Ye, what do you mean?" Li Ruoxin was confused.
"If it is a peripheral building in the secret realm, the ancients must have focused on palaces, otherwise it would not show its style." Ye Fan looked at the neat purple snow jade wall.
"If it were the outer wall of a palace, there would definitely be carved dragons, jade and phoenixes on top, but there is nothing there. Instead, it looks very dead, like..."
Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, Li Ruoxin opened her mouth slightly, "Ancient tomb?"
"Yes!" Ye Fan nodded and quickly withdrew his hand from the purple snow jade wall, "I feel so weird here."
"I feel very uncomfortable too." Li Ruoxin nodded and touched the purple snow jade wall.
Unexpectedly, her hand was not as light as Ye Fan's, and she suddenly pressed into a depression in the purple snow jade.
With a sound of "Boom...", a piece of purple snow jade at the zenith suddenly fell down, followed by hundreds of small purple particles falling down.
"Hiss!"
There were bursts of hissing coming from the pile of small purple particles.
Ye Fan looked carefully and found that these small purple particles were all insect cocoons, and there seemed to be something squirming violently inside.
The pile of purple cocoons happened to be piled up at the entrance of the chrysalis passage, and Ye Fan suddenly panicked.
Suddenly, more than twenty purple silkworms that emerged from the cocoon jumped out of the cocoon. As if they had a target already, they quickly got into Ye Fan's feet.
Ye Fan was shocked and hurriedly backed away, frantically slapping the silkworms on himself.
I saw that the muscles on Ye Fan's feet suddenly shriveled up and spread upward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ye Fan's expression suddenly changed, and without saying a word, he encouraged his energy and poured it into the soles of his feet.
"Hi la la..."
More than twenty purple silkworms were forced out, and then they swarmed towards Ye Fan like crazy.
Ye Fan turned into a fist with one hand, condensed a fist mark, and hit the more than 20 purple silkworms.
"Crackling..."
Suddenly, the purple silkworm was knocked into the ground.
Ye Fan quickly took out the Spirit of Wuyuan and three herbs from the space stone and applied them on the soles of his feet.
Then he activated the pure martial energy from the source core of his martial body and poured it into the soles of his feet.
Ye Fan's martial body source core was fused with the Immortal Pearl, and his recovery ability was very powerful. Coupled with the spirit of the martial source and the three herbs, the injury on his foot recovered quickly.
Li Ruoxin looked on in shock, "Ye...Brother Ye, how could this happen? What are those little bugs...?!"
"If I remember correctly, those are the legendary bloodthirsty purple silkworms!" Ye Fan replied in a deep voice.
"Bloodthirsty purple silkworm?" Li Ruoxin was puzzled.
"I once heard from the seniors of the hidden ancient tribe in Nanjiang that during the ancient warrior period, there was one of the most sinister purple silkworms, which loved to eat the essence and blood of warriors, and its whole body was purple-gold!"
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, "The one that attacked me just now was the juvenile body of this purple silkworm! If I didn't react in time enough, I'm afraid half of my legs would be useless!"
