It turned out that after Cao Lei's army entered the mysterious cave that day, there was no sound. He Xiaohu and several scientists waited for several days but did not see them coming out. They knew something must have happened. He Xiaohu originally wanted to go into the cave.
He was looking for traces of Cao Leijun and others, but thinking of the mission assigned to him by Cao Leijun, He Xiaohu had to suppress his impulse. He sent the scientists of the expedition team to the rear and reported to his superiors for help.
The Cao family and the Li family behind Cao Leijun are all veteran dignitaries in domestic politics. The disappearance of a descendant of the Cao family and the son-in-law of the Li family naturally caused a great shock.
After Li Moran got the news, he immediately thought of Zhang Shanhai. If anyone could rescue Cao Leijun at this time, it would be Zhang Shanhai.
"We are all brothers, don't be so polite. As long as I can help, I will definitely try my best to do it." Zhang Shanhai said.
Zhang Shanhai and Li Moran rushed to Xijiang that day. Zhang Shanhai had never been to Xijiang at all. Even though he was so anxious, there was nothing he could do to get there early. He could only take a car and rush there non-stop.
It took two or three days to arrive at the place. Li Moran originally hoped that Cao Leijun could come out on his own, but when he arrived, he learned that Cao Leijun and others were still missing and no trace was found.
Under the leadership of He Xiaohu, Zhang Shanhai and Li Moran came to the location where Cao Lei's army disappeared that day. The mysterious cave was still there. Zhang Shanhai used his spiritual consciousness to test it, but found that the cave was just an extremely ordinary cave.
Any mystery. But there is something weird in this cave. The cave is not like the usual stone caves. The space inside is very large, but it is not a stone cave, but seems to be covered with mud. The most bizarre thing is that Zhang Shanhai
Unexpectedly, he discovered that there seemed to be an underground city hidden in this cave. Zhang Shanhai could see the outline of this city, which was extremely large. Of course, it was completely buried underground at this time. But it is conceivable that this place must have been there in ancient times.
It is an extremely prosperous city.
How was this underground city buried underground? Who were the people who originally lived in the city? How did they disappear from the city? One question after another filled Zhang Shanhai's brain. Why is this so?
A large city that left no trace in history?
Zhang Shanhai is not an archaeologist, and he doesn't particularly care about these issues, but he smelled a smell in this city buried underground. Li Moran, who was walking forward with Zhang Shanhai, suddenly had a problem. He seemed to be affected by
Something attracted me, and I kept walking forward stiffly.
"Huh? Brother Li, where are you going?" Zhang Shanhai shouted.
But Li Moran didn't seem to hear it. As he continued to walk forward, Zhang Shanhai realized something was wrong. Li Moran was actually bewitched.
Zhang Shanhai hurriedly chased after him, patted Li Moran on his body, and used the Spirit Clearing Technique to wake Li Moran up.
"What happened to me just now?" Li Moran couldn't remember what he had just done.
"It's nothing. Just follow me, there are weird things in this dead city." Zhang Shanhai said.
"Dead City? Have you heard of this city?" Li Moran was surprised.
Zhang Shanhai shook his head and said, "What is a city without a living person if not a dead city?"
"So that's it, I thought you knew this city." Li Moran said.
The reason why Zhang Shanhai calls this city the dead city is that in fact, although this city has existed underground for an unknown number of years, the residents here have also disappeared for an unknown number of years. But Zhang Shanhai smelled something in this city.
There was a strong sense of death. In order to prevent Li Moran from being disturbed, Zhang Shanhai did not tell Li Moran about the matter.
"This city is so big, how could it be buried underground?" Li Moran looked around with his flashlight and could not see the edge of this underground city at all.
"Who knows? There's not a single corpse here. It's obviously not caused by a war or a plague. It seems more like migration," Zhang Shanhai said.
"Is it because of the lack of water here?" Li Moran asked.
Zhang Shanhai shook his head, "It shouldn't be because of lack of water, because I have already heard the sound of water, which means that this city has never been cut off from water even now. Therefore, it probably didn't disappear because of lack of water."
"So why did they leave such a prosperous city? Judging from the scale we see now, this city should have been a big city in their time." Li Moran said.
"Forget it, don't talk so much. It's important for us to find people. There should be some traces where they walked." Zhang Shanhai said.
Naturally, Zhang Shanhai would not foolishly rely on himself and Li Moran to find the whereabouts of Cao Leijun. He took a three-pronged approach. On the one hand, he sent ghosts to search everywhere. On the other hand, he gave Cao Leijun a divination, but the divination was very strange.
It's complicated. Zhang Shanhai was able to roughly determine that Cao Lei's army was safe at this time. However, he couldn't figure out the specific location. Zhang Shanhai knew that the inability to calculate the specific location of Cao Lei's army had a lot to do with the situation in this dead city.
The relationship. This dead city is buried underground. At the same time, there is a strange formation in this city, which will seriously affect the hexagrams.
Zhang Shanhai and Li Moran followed the traces left by Cao Leijun and others. Cao Leijun is also a very experienced person. During the walking process, he will leave a mark at every step. He Xiaohu understands the meaning of the mark.
"Who!" He Xiaohu shouted fiercely. Just now he saw a figure flashing at the end of the light.
He Xiaohu kept shining his flashlight ahead and quickly chased after him.
"No." Zhang Shanhai hurriedly chased after him, "Brother Li, follow quickly, something is not right with Comrade He."
"Hey, don't worry, I can keep up." Li Moran quickly quickened his pace and caught up.
He Xiaohu ran very fast. He trained frequently in the army, and his physical strength and speed were very good. Zhang Shanhai had no problem catching up, but Li Moran had some difficulties. Zhang Shanhai had to give Li Moran a lightening technique.
.
Li Moran's body suddenly felt light, and he couldn't adapt to it. He actually rolled out.
"Ouch! Hey. It's really weird. I feel like I can fly."
"Follow me, Xiaohu is also bewitched." Zhang Shanhai said.
There was nothing in front of him just now, but He Xiaohu was affected by the mysterious formation of this dead city and had hallucinations. At this time, he couldn't tell what was real and what was illusion.
Zhang Shanhai took three steps in succession and chased after him. He grabbed He Xiaohu.
"Let me go, I saw the captain. I'm going to chase him." He Xiaohu said impatiently.
Zhang Shanhai roared loudly and suppressed He Xiaohu's frivolous ghost with a suppressive technique.
He Xiaohu woke up. But he still remembered the situation just now, "I saw the captain just now, and he ran away all of a sudden."
"That's not your captain. It's a phantom of your own imagination." Zhang Shanhai said.
"How is that possible? I just heard him say, Huzi, hurry up and follow." He Xiaohu said.
"We didn't see anything just now. There was nothing in front of us. I just saw you and kept running forward." Li Moran said.
"Really?" He Xiaohu asked.
Li Moran said, "Of course. Look, there is a straight road ahead, how could he disappear?"
He Xiaohu calmed down and said, "The captain is going for me this time. If I go, the captain will definitely be fine."
"Isn't your disappearance the same as your captain's disappearance?" Li Moran said.
"Wait a minute. Something seems wrong." Zhang Shanhai said.
"What's going on?" Li Moran asked.
When He Xiaohu saw it, his color changed, "There are no footprints anymore, and there are no marks left."
The footprints seemed to suddenly disappear when they arrived at this place, and there was no sign of going back. The situation was extremely strange.
"It's impossible for them to fly away from here, right?" Li Moran said with wide eyes.
"Don't make any noise. Let me take a closer look." Zhang Shanhai said.
This place is a little weird. Zhang Shanhai can feel the traces of the formation from here, but he can't quite understand it. In other words, if the formation is arranged here, it is definitely older than the time of Liu Daonan and Huang Shiyin.
"Is it an ancient formation?" Liu Daonan was very surprised.
"How could it be? How could ancient formations be left in such a place? Besides, we have never seen such formations in our time. How can we find ancient formations now?" Huang Shiyin was a little unbelievable.
"If it's not, then what could it be?" Liu Daonan said.
"Maybe it's some weird way of cultivation, the natural formation is different from ours." Huang Shiyin said.
"I seem to sense some spatial changes here, is this it?" Zhang Shanhai communicated with Liu Daonan in the sea of consciousness.
"Teleportation array! Yes, there is only this kind of space attribute Tao method, and I, Liu Daonan, know very little about it. No wonder this formation pattern is so weird. Now it seems that it is not strange at all." Liu Daonan said.
Zhang Shanhai checked it carefully and said, "It should be like this. They happened to walk to this teleportation point, and the teleportation point suddenly activated, teleporting them to who knows where."
Li Moran was very anxious. Seeing that Zhang Shanhai didn't speak for a long time, he asked anxiously, "Shan Hai, have you discovered anything?"
Zhang Shanhai said, "Brother Li, don't worry. This place is a bit weird, I have to take a closer look."
Zhang Shanhai tried several times back and forth where the footprints of Cao Lei's army disappeared, but could not find where the teleportation array was. This array may have been activated by accident, or it may need to accumulate energy before it can be activated again. Anyway, Zhang Shanhai guessed a lot
There are several possibilities, but none of them will be of any help in locating the person.
There is still no information feedback from the released ghosts, and I don’t know if the information they feedback cannot be transmitted in this ghost town.
However, a careful search did not reveal anything. Zhang Shanhai found several grooves on the ground that were not very eye-catching.
"Hey, it looks like a spiritual energy supply hub." Zhang Shanhai thought to himself.
Zhang Shanhai took out several pieces of spiritual stones taken from the cave from the Xumi mustard seeds, and put the spiritual stones into the grooves.
The spirit stone seemed to turn into a liquid and slowly blended into the grooves.
The runes that were not very obvious suddenly became brighter, and a shocking pattern was deeply imprinted on Zhang Shanhai's ghost.
However, even if he obtained the diagram of the teleportation array, it was impossible for Zhang Shanhai to copy the teleportation array. The texture of the teleportation array was too complicated. Moreover, it was crisscrossed in many places, and it was impossible to see how the formation was drawn.
of.
"Come here quickly." Zhang Shanhai said.
He Xiaohu and Li Moran quickly walked to Zhang Shanhai's side.
At this moment, Zhang Shanhai's surroundings suddenly lit up, forming a pillar of light that completely enveloped Zhang Shanhai and the others. The dazzling white light suddenly flashed.
Zhang Shanhai only felt that his eyes went dark, and in the blink of an eye, another place appeared. The surrounding area was a little dazzling by the white light of the teleportation array. However, soon, the white light suddenly disappeared. His eyes suddenly darkened, and the eyes of the three people were there.
Can you adapt to such a big change? The flashlight in your hand seemed to have completely lost its effectiveness and could not shine any light at all. After a while, my eyes finally returned to normal, and the flashlight in my hand finally had light.
On the ground, the three people rediscovered the footprints.
"That's right. The captain and the others have been here." He Xiaohu said.
Zhang Shanhai said, "In this case, let's continue to follow the footsteps to find it." Zhang Shanhai said.
The environment here is much better than before the teleportation. The surrounding houses seem to have been palaces. They were built extremely majesticly.
But the appearance of the palace gave the three people even greater doubts. "Could this be a royal palace before? Then did the king of that kingdom once live here?"
"Brother-in-law! Where are you?" Li Moran suddenly shouted.
"Don't scream!" He Xiaohu said.
"Why?" Li Moran asked.
He Xiaohu said, "Didn't you see that the cave here is not a stone cave, and it will easily collapse if there is a vibration?"
Zhang Shanhai also said, "Yes. Besides, it's useless for you to shout like this. They have been here for so long, how can they still stay here? Maybe they are looking for a way. Don't worry. They have nothing to do now. As long as
If we can find them in time, there will be no problem."
Li Moran nodded. Although he was a little reckless, he was not stupid.
"Then what should we do now?" Li Moran said.
"Keep going forward, there are their footprints. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find them?" Zhang Shanhai said.
The footprints actually lead directly to the gate of the palace complex.
The majestic palace can vaguely see the bustling scenery of the day. The high walls and heavy gates separate the inside and outside of the palace.
"They must also be very interested in this palace, so they went inside to take a look." Li Moran said.
Zhang Shanhai said, "There must be other reasons. You see, after he entered the palace, there was no trace of him coming out. In other words, they should still be in the palace. Of course, another possibility is that there may be people inside.
There is a teleportation array."
"What brought us here just now was the teleportation array?" Li Moran asked.
Zhang Shanhai nodded, "Yes, but this teleportation array is too complex, and the carving process is extremely difficult. In addition, even if I can make the teleportation array, I'm afraid I won't be able to activate it."
"I'd better go in front!" Zhang Shanhai said.
"Shan Hai, be careful." Li Moran and He Xiaohu said quickly.
Zhang Shanhai walked over and pushed the palace door open. There was a crisp sound, and the thick dust suddenly fell down. A large cloud of dust almost fell on Zhang Shanhai's head. Fortunately, Zhang Shanhai was smart and hurriedly dodged to the side.
It avoided the dust falling from the sky. Fortunately, there was no mechanism, otherwise even Zhang Shanhai would have been in a hurry.
"I'm just a little curious, has Brother Cao ever gone inside? If so, why is the dust on this door still falling so quickly?" Zhang Shanhai said.
"Don't worry about so much for now, go in and see what's going on." He Xiaohu said.
"Yes, it's important to find someone." Zhang Shanhai said.
After entering the palace, it was difficult to find traces. Because the ground in the palace was covered with strips of stone, it was difficult to leave any traces. Fortunately, Cao Leijun still paid attention to leaving marks on the ground when he arrived, so that a few people could
Know exactly the route they took.
"Where have they gone?" Li Moran wanted to shout loudly.
"Don't worry, I feel that they are getting closer. Let's speed up the pace." Zhang Shanhai said.
Although this place is a palace, Zhang Shanhai found that the yin energy in this place seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and Zhang Shanhai even felt a strong threat here.
Even though Zhang Shanhai did not feel any threat from the two major forces of Jiangnan He Family and Chang Tiandao a few days ago, but today, Zhang Shanhai really felt a huge threat.
"Be careful, there is something wrong with this place." Zhang Shanhai said.
The mark left by Cao Lei's army led all the way to the most majestic palace in the palace complex. The three people walked over quickly.
Although this palace was shrouded in thick dust, Zhang Shanhai saw that this palace was the place with the strongest black energy in the entire palace.
"We should have found a place. I don't know if it's too late." Zhang Shanhai thought to himself.
"Creak!" Zhang Shanhai pushed open the palace door, and the slightly rotten door hinge made a loud noise.
"Jie Jie! Another person has thrown himself into the trap! Haha."
A gloomy voice sounded in the palace, and clouds of dust kept falling.
This time, the three people changed colors at the same time.
This is definitely not an illusion, but a real thing. Because at that moment, the three people discovered each other's traces at the same time.
"Scientist, he is the missing scientist!" He Xiaohu had met Ke Shanfeng.
Zhang Shanhai and Li Moran looked over at the same time, and saw a man wearing a Chinese tunic suit, glasses, and a pen in his coat pocket. He looked like a scholar at first glance.
"Is he the missing scientist?" Zhang Shanhai asked.
"Yes, that's him. We have met him before." He Xiaohu said...)
