After Shen Lang and Xiaorou entered the restricted gap, there was an abyss inside, and they fell in free fall towards the bottom of the abyss.
"Hoo ho!"
The space in the abyss is extremely distorted, and strong space storms are spreading all around, blowing around like a tornado.
Wherever the tornado passes, the space twists like a whirlpool.
"It's a space storm, Xiaorou, quickly get into the spirit beast bag!"
Shen Lang shouted loudly and performed the Nine Transformations of the Blood Spirit, transforming into the form of a golden-horned dragon.
Xiaorou hurriedly flew into the spirit beast bag.
Shen Lang's physical body in the form of a golden-horned dragon is so powerful that he can barely withstand the weak space storm, but once the space storm gets stronger, he can't do anything.
The abyss was a bit narrow, and Shen Lang quickly shrank his body. The golden-horned dragon walked through the abyss in its smallest form, carefully avoiding the space storm.
This underground abyss is tens of thousands of meters long, and there is a cave inside. The environment is dark and dull, without a trace of light.
After Shen Lang landed firmly, he immediately released his spiritual consciousness and swept around.
Surrounded by ruins, there are collapsed buildings everywhere, and various milky-white spar bricks are pushed into mountains, which look very old.
This kind of white spar brick is a unique "crystal stone" in the Arctic ice sheet. Its texture is so hard that even ordinary Nascent Soul monks can hardly cause any damage to it.
There is a golden plaque inserted diagonally in the collapsed building directly in front, with the words "Desert Labyrinth" written on it.
Shen Lang's eyes narrowed. It seemed that this was the underground palace that Lan Xian'er mentioned before, but the palace here had long been damaged and turned into ruins.
There are four or five skeletons on the ground not far away. Judging from the bone age of the skeletons, they are obviously Nascent Soul stage monks.
Shen Lang speculated that the underground palace here should have been looted by monks, which caused a large number of monks to fight, thus triggering the collapse of the underground palace.
After all, the Beihai Ice Cave has a history of countless years, so it is normal for the underground palace to be discovered.
Shen Lang only hoped that the teleportation array in the underground palace was still safe.
While using all his spiritual consciousness to scan the ruins of the building, he flew towards the depths of the underground palace.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the ground in the underground palace shook, as if a major earthquake had occurred.
"Sir, it's terrible. It must be the mountain-mounted giant ape outside that has discovered the existence of the underground palace's guarding restrictions and is breaking the formation!" Xiaorou sent a message to Shen Lang in panic.
"I know."
Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat. He had guessed this a long time ago. Since he was discovered by the giant ape just now, he must have known about the existence of the underground palace restriction.
The giant ape clan and the thunder beast clan have been friends for generations. Lei Ling is Yuan Lie's nephew. If he kills Lei Ling, Yuan Lie will definitely avenge him.
If caught by Yuan Lie, Shen Lang thought he would die miserably.
"Sir, don't mess up your position. The forbidden defense outside this underground palace is extremely strong and should be able to last for some time. Let's quickly find the teleportation array leading to the tree demon tribe's territory!" Xiaorou said hurriedly.
"Okay!" Shen Lang gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.
The only way to survive now is to find the teleportation array and use it to leave here as soon as possible. And destroy the teleportation array the moment the teleportation leaves, so as to prevent Qingshan Giant Ape Yuanlie from chasing after him.
The scope of this desert maze is too large, and it is not easy to find the teleportation array in a short while.
Shen Lang looked anxiously for the breath of the teleportation array, and Xiaorou couldn't help but flew out of the spirit beast bag, and separated with Shen Lang to search for the location of the teleportation array.
The terrain of the underground palace is weird, sometimes circular and sometimes square, like a huge maze, so it is also known as the "Desert Maze".
I heard Lan Xian'er say before that although the tree demon tribe is weak in combat power, it is a life formed from the chaotic fairy tree after all, and it still has some special abilities.
For example, the Dryad Tribe is proficient in ancient formation restraints, so proficient that they can even use the restraints to control the innate clutching divine light and space storms. This is a craft that is unimaginable among human monks.
Most of the space storms in Xuekou Ridge are actually controlled by the Dryad Clan with restrictions in order to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies.
The protective formation in this desert labyrinth is extremely powerful and can even defend against attacks from monks in the transformation stage for a while.
In addition, the Dryad Tribe is also proficient in the cultivation of chaotic spiritual creatures.
Shen Lang discovered a large number of corpses in the underground palace, all of which were the corpses of monks in the Nascent Soul stage. He became increasingly convinced that a large-scale battle had occurred in this desert maze.
However, the storage rings of these corpses were all taken away. It seems that there were many visitors to the desert maze in history.
…
On the other side, the Qingshan Giant Ape was frantically attacking the restrictions outside the gravel soil.
"Dong dong dong!"
Yuan Lie waved his shining golden arms and beat the gravel layer crazily. The giant ape's plush fist almost wanted to tear apart the space. Every blow was like a mountain falling apart and the earth splitting apart, and the heavy roar shook the heaven and earth.
The eight ninth-level demon cultivators retreated one after another, Yuan Lie's violent momentum made them tremble with fear. Such powerful divine power was simply terrifying, and they were afraid that if they received a punch from Yuan Lie, their bodies would break into pieces.
Under Yuan Lie's ferocious attack, white light appeared outside the gravel layer, and it quickly reached the edge of collapse.
…
Shen Lang and Xiaorou were still looking for the location of the teleportation array in the ruins of the desert maze.
"Dong dong dong!"
The entire underground palace was roaring, and some of the ruins of the original buildings and walls were cracking.
It seems that the defensive restrictions guarding the underground palace will soon collapse and disappear.
At this critical moment, a tender voice came from Xiaorou in the distance: "Sir, Xiaorou has found the teleportation array, come and help me!"
After hearing Xiaorou's voice, Shen Lang was so excited that he immediately transformed into Lei Peng and flew to Xiaorou's side like lightning.
I saw Xiaorou trying her best to push away the bricks and stones in a ruined building. The place where she stood was marked by dense symbols. The teleportation array was indeed here!
Unlike the teleportation array of the ancient human monks, the rune marks on the teleportation array of the Dryad Clan Palace are rather weird, just like the Arabic numerals in the secular world, but different.
Shen Lang used the Nine Transformations of the Blood Spirit again, transformed into the Qingshan Giant Ape, and quickly cleaned up the building debris accumulated in the center of the teleportation array.
The teleportation array is a very precise formation. Some foreign objects accumulate in the teleportation array, which can easily cause the transmission to fail.
Not long after, the construction debris inside the formation was cleaned up. Fortunately, the teleportation formation was intact and could still be used.
"Boom!!!"
There was a loud noise, and the underground palace shook violently, and the roar continued.
The guardian formation of the desert maze was finally defeated by the Qingshan Giant Ape with brute force. Above the heads of Shen Lang and Xiaorou, a large amount of quicksand fell from the sky, and it seemed that it would soon bury the underground palace.
"Sir, hurry up! The mountain-holding giant ape has broken through the restriction and is chasing in!" Xiaorou's pretty face turned pale and she hurriedly urged.
