But the good times didn't last long. After running wildly for a while, Shen Lang found that there were more and more blood bats around.
Especially the number of blood bats chasing after them was jaw-dropping. They were densely packed with red light. At a glance, there were at least three to four thousand of them.
Shen Lang sweated on his forehead, thinking that he was cheating now.
It's still too late to escape now. If we continue to move forward, more and more blood bats will be chasing us from behind, which means the exit will be completely blocked.
"No matter what, I'll die!" Shen Lang gritted his teeth. He would definitely not be willing to go inside and take a look.
When the worst comes out, use the last spirit charm to save your life.
The Blood Bat Ridge is so dangerous. First there were reticulated crocodiles and then there were the blood bat swarms. Apart from myself, there should be no other Transformation Realm martial artist who would dare to step into such a place.
The flying speed of the blood bats was almost the same as Shen Lang's. For a while, the group of blood bats behind him couldn't catch up with Shen Lang.
Finally, Shen Lang passed through the area with the densest concentration of blood bats in the Blood Bat Ridge. After he cut a bloody path, the blood bats were all left behind.
The power of the Zimu Dragon Tooth Dart disappeared and he put it into the storage ring.
As Shen Lang ran wildly, he drew out his White Shadow Sword and hacked to death several blood bats that were rushing towards him.
A large number of blood bats were chasing after him. Shen Lang ran for his life while paying attention to the surrounding mountains.
To his disappointment, apart from vegetation, there were no traces of anything resembling architectural formations in the mountains.
A few minutes later, we almost reached the end of the mountain ridge, and the front was blocked by a high mountain.
Shen Lang was completely disappointed. Not only did he come here in vain, but he also had to waste his last spirit-dropping talisman.
Seeing the large swarm of mad dog-like blood bats behind him, Shen Lang reluctantly took out the spirit-dropping talisman.
At this moment, Shen Lang suddenly discovered that there was a lake at the end of the mountains ahead.
The lake is not big, only a few hundred meters wide, but the water seems to be very deep.
Shen Lang didn't hesitate and jumped directly into the lake with a "plop".
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
A large number of blood bats swarmed from behind, scurrying around like headless flies.
Blood bats have extremely poor vision, but their hearing is extremely sensitive, and they can use their ears to locate the position and direction of moving creatures.
But as soon as Shen Lang jumped into the lake, the blood bat couldn't do anything to him.
Shen Lang dived to the bottom of the lake and felt relieved when he saw that the blood bats were not chasing him.
Fortunately, there is a lake here, and thanks to this, I can save my soul summoning talisman again.
Shen Lang originally wanted to meditate under the lake to recover for a while, but he keenly noticed that there was a faint glow somewhere at the bottom of the lake.
This surprised him greatly, and he immediately swam towards the location where the glow was emitted.
Soon, Shen Lang swam to the bottom of the lake, and there were ruins all around under the water!
"This is……"
Shen Lang was shocked. There was a stone wall under the lake. The stone wall was carved with two lifelike patterns of beasts.
One of them was the Qingshan Giant Ape that Shen Lang had seen before.
There is another one with a single horn on its head, the head of a snake, the body of a tiger, and the tail of a leopard. It is majestic. It is the other spirit beast of heaven and earth sealed in Thunder Canyon, the thunder beast.
"Why are there carvings of those two ancient beasts here?" Shen Lang was surprised. There is definitely something wrong under the lake!
Maybe it's the teleportation array that leads to the Fire Dragon's Tomb that he's looking for!
Shen Lang simply lay down under the lake and carefully looked at the surrounding stone walls.
In addition to the carvings of the two ancient beasts on the stone wall just now, Shen Lang searched for a long time in the ruins of the surrounding walls, but could not find any mechanism, only some gravel and moss-covered stone crevices.
Shen Lang did not believe in evil and continued to explore.
But after groping for an hour, he still couldn't figure out the reason. In frustration, his eyes turned to the patterns of the two ancient beasts on the stone wall again.
After watching for a while, Shen Lang suddenly discovered a clue.
Both of these ancient beasts have tails, and the directions drawn by the two tails seem to form an arrow-like mark, pointing to a certain direction at the bottom of the lake.
Shen Lang's heart moved, and he immediately observed carefully in the direction guided by the two tails. After observing the bottom of the lake for a while, he groped towards the stone wall on one side of the broken arm and found that something was wrong.
"Dong dong dong!" He knocked on the stone wall. The sound was loud and hollow.
Shen Lang's eyes narrowed, and he immediately stretched out his right palm and patted the moss-covered underground stone wall.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise and stone chips flew.
After the stone cracks are cracked, you can clearly see a smaller circular groove and a square groove under the moss-covered stone wall.
Shen Lang was overjoyed and immediately took out the golden horn from the storage ring and inserted it directly into the circular groove.
Sure enough, just as he thought, the size of the circular groove exactly matched the golden horn!
However, after he inserted the golden horn into it, there was still no reaction from the broken walls around him. Shen Lang tried to inject his true energy, but there was still no reaction at all.
Seeing that in addition to the circular groove, there was also a square groove, Shen Lang quickly realized that generally this ancient teleportation array should require energy to activate.
First I took out a handful of spiritual stones and put them into the groove, but there was no reaction.
I took out a handful of spiritual crystals and put them into the groove, but there was still no reaction.
Shen Lang felt depressed for a while. Neither the Spirit Stone nor the Spirit Crystal worked. How to activate this formation?
Suddenly having an idea, Shen Lang took out several colorful crystal stones from the storage ring, exuding a strange aura.
Five Elements Spiritual Crystal!
When Shen Lang killed three virtual realm martial arts cultivators from the Ling family before, he found several rare Five Elements Spiritual Crystals from their storage rings.
In the past, the teleportation array from Kunlun Mountain to the secular world required Five Elements Spirit Crystals to be activated. Thinking of this, Shen Lang immediately put several Five Elements Spirit Crystals into the square grooves.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the bottom of the lake shook and the mountains shook, wisps of golden glow emerged from the surrounding stone walls, and a large number of golden symbol marks also appeared immediately.
The golden horn inserted into the circular groove also shimmers with light, and strands of light flow into the circular groove through the horn, which is extremely magical.
Shen Lang was ecstatic, the formation was about to be activated, and he quickly transferred his true energy into the golden horn.
But soon, his expression completely changed.
The golden horn crazily devoured the true energy from Shen Lang's body. The black and golden true energy all over his body was absorbed by the golden horn like a surge, and his meridians were twitching!
"ah!!!"
The huge pain caused Shen Lang's expression to twist, and he desperately wanted to pull away his hands, but the golden horn held his hands firmly, and his body could not lift any strength.
No matter how pure and full his true energy is, it can't withstand such an intensity of dragon swallowing.
Soon, Shen Lang was exhausted. Not only was his energy exhausted, but his physical strength was drained, and he fell into a coma.
It just so happened to be this time.
"Bang bang bang!" Countless golden lights flashed around the stone walls at the bottom of the lake.
After obtaining sufficient energy, the formation was finally activated.
"Whoosh!" Shen Lang's entire body was shrouded in a layer of golden light, and he was teleported out instantly.
I don't know how long it took.
Shen Lang opened his eyes, the surroundings were dark, and the scene changed drastically.
"No way, am I dead? No...I haven't lived enough yet, Xue'er is still waiting for me to go back..." Shen Lang trembled all over and lay on the ground, barely able to muster any strength.
"Where is this?" Shen Lang was confused. The underworld is not like this.
The surrounding light was dim, as if we were in a room. Various mysterious patterns were carved on the wall not far away, with simple shapes and a hint of ancient atmosphere.
