Soon, the grotto was opened, and a group of people holding large and small luminous crystals surrounded Xu Chen and followed the elders inside.
It is estimated that no one has entered this cave for countless years, so it is filled with a chilly and decaying atmosphere that is heart-stopping. The sound of kicking and walking echoes in the quiet cave, making everyone feel that their scalp is going numb.
numb.
Even Feng Zhao and a group of the strongest men in the tribe were cautious and did not dare to show off.
When there is danger, the old witch leader is the anchor and hope of the tribe.
But when there is no danger, the sleeping old witch master is the most dangerous existence.
Even if he continues to decay in his sleep, ordinary warriors like them with low strength cannot easily provoke and contend with him.
"Feng Zhao, Feng Xing, and Fei Yi will follow in. Everyone else will stay here for the time being!"
After walking forward in a zigzag way for about two hundred feet, a thick stone door appeared in front of me. There were a large number of lines and strange runes carved on the stone door.
Stopping outside the stone gate, the elder issued an order, so most of the people who followed stayed.
The elder stepped forward and pressed his hands on several runes in the center of the stone door, constantly attacking with powerful spiritual power. Soon, an obscure aura began to fluctuate on the stone door. After lasting for more than ten breaths, suddenly a large number of runes on the stone door flashed out.
In the red light, the thick stone door was slowly pushed open.
"Everyone should take precautions after entering. The old witch master has been sleeping for too long, and his body and soul have begun to decay. I am afraid that some dangerous borers and poisons will grow. Once they enter the body, it will be troublesome!" The elder said seriously using his spiritual consciousness.
Just a reminder.
Xu Chen, Feng Feiyi and others all nodded seriously.
Soon, the team of only five people walked into the stone gate. In front of them was another long alley, but it turned into steps that continued downward.
There is a dense black air permeating the inside. Although it is not as rich as the outside, it looks colder, as if a living thing is trying to get in from the thousands of pores in the body.
The elder always exuded a strong soul power to push away the black mist, and the tight-fitting leather clothes worn by Feng Feiyi and others also shone with a faint red light, isolating this layer of black mist.
Xu Chen also did not dare to be careless. Not only did he release his body-protecting vitality, but his spiritual consciousness also covered a distance of ten feet nearby, and he vigilantly observed the surrounding situation.
But even so, this pervasive coldness still made him very frightened.
Even if an adult whose strength is comparable to that of a fifth-level underworld beast or a strong man in the True Spirit Realm dies, it is not something that a scumbag monk in the True Yuan Realm and Dan Yuan Realm can easily provoke.
Just like a monk in the True Spirit Realm, even if the physical body completely collapses, the grown-up soul can still leave the body and release almost all the power of the body. With one blow, the sky will collapse and the earth will shatter, and hundreds of miles around will be turned into powder.
As long as the old witch master is not completely dead for a day, his spirit that has not yet dissipated may launch terrifying attacks at any time.
What's more, these natives of the underworld are cultivators of divine souls, and the power of divine souls is only stronger than that of the great monks in the true spirit realm.
The power of the soul beast does not lie in the physical body, but in the weird soul attack, which is difficult for monks of the same level to compete with.
Just like Master Yiyun and Master Xuanhe were defeated by the octopus soul beast in the Five Elements Formation, if it were just an ordinary mid- to late-level third-order monster, the monks in the early Danyuan realm had powerful magic weapons and spells and could defeat them.
The odds are still very high, even if you can't win, you can almost escape unscathed.
But the two powerful men in the Danyuan Realm were completely defeated by that soul beast with just one move. If they could not be treated quickly, they would probably die on the spot.
Moreover, the higher the level of the soul beast, the soul's power will be doubled compared to that of a monk of the same level.
True Yuan realm monks are almost unable to deal with second-level soul beasts.
And monks in the Danyuan realm are basically completely unable to deal with third-level soul beasts.
This is the most uncomfortable place in the fairy world when facing soul beasts.
This time the five people walked down for a full moment. According to Xu Chen's estimation, they were probably at least two miles deep into the mountain.
To lock an almost dead old guy alone in such a deep cave shows that the Wind Clan paid a huge price and also maintained enough caution and prudence.
"It's coming soon, please be careful!"
The elder once again used his spiritual consciousness to remind him, and then pushed open a thick stone door. A stone hall appeared in front of him. It was manually excavated. The four walls and the top were neatly arranged, and there were also some luminous crystals inlaid in them, although they were not counted.
It is extremely bright, but it also allows people to see clearly what is going on inside at a glance.
There are four stone chambers dug on both sides of the stone hall, and each stone chamber contains a dark stone coffin.
The entire stone hall was filled with an extremely cold and decaying aura, which made the soul feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave of hundreds of millions of years, and the cold people could not help but shiver.
Wisps of black mist, as still as thick ink, were suspended in the air, condensing above each coffin, looking extremely strange.
Apart from this, there is nothing in the entire stone hall.
Everyone looked at these coffins nervously. Feng Feiyi even squeezed tightly behind Xu Chen. Xu Chen, whose heart was pounding, felt his head shaking constantly.
However, Xu Chen had no intention of paying attention to others at this time. Instead, he clenched his fists and his eyes were like torches. He endured the coldness and fear all over his body and carefully let go of his consciousness to observe these coffins carefully.
There are eight coffins in total, and each coffin has crisscrossing lines and various runes on it. It is obviously the same as the stone gate and the divine blood pool. This is an ancient formation, and it must have the ability to shield the soul and seal.
"What are stored in these sarcophagi are the most powerful warriors of our Wind Clan in history. Each of them is comparable to the most powerful underworld beast in the underworld. It's a pity that they have been dormant for too long and none of them can wake up again.
"
The elder's sighing voice sounded in Xu Chen's mind.
Xu Chen's eyes fell on one of the coffins, and he said with his fingers: "Is the old witch master sleeping there?"
Although all the coffins have a black energy as thick as ink condensed on them, that coffin has the thickest black energy and the coldest aura. Even if you only touch the coffin with your spiritual consciousness, you will feel that you are being targeted by a ferocious beast.
Same thing.
The elder nodded slightly and said: "Yes, that is the sarcophagus where the old witch master sleeps. Come and have a look!"
After saying that, the elder took the lead and walked towards the sarcophagus, and Xu Chen and others followed quickly and silently.
Soon, the five people arrived in the stone chamber. Looking at the huge black sarcophagus from a close distance, the extremely chilly aura that made people palpitate became even stronger, as if there was a ten thousand-year-old corpse in the sarcophagus, and the coffin could be opened at any time.
Jump out and choose people to devour.
"I'm opening the coffin now. Please be careful and don't release too strong aura of soul to stimulate the old witch master. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen!"
The elder reminded solemnly again, and after seeing everyone nodding, he pressed his hands on the coffin lid and released the billowing aura of the soul.
The coffin began to release violent soul fluctuations, and soon the lines and runes on the coffin lid began to shine slightly. Finally, as the elder pushed forward with both hands, the coffin lid slowly slid open.
Inside the coffin, there was a black air as thick as ink.
When the spiritual consciousness penetrates, it is completely like falling into a pool of cold water that has been frozen for hundreds of millions of years. In an instant, black ice edges begin to pile up in the sea of dantian, meridians and consciousness.
This was Xu Chen's first time encountering such strong underworld erosion.
However, his feelings were obviously much stronger than those of the Feng tribe. Although Feng Feiyi and others were also frightened and nervous at this time, they seemed to be much more familiar with this dark cold energy and their resistance was much stronger.
Xu Chen's consciousness continued to penetrate deep into the bottom of the coffin, and finally he saw an old man who was naked and as skinny as a mummy. His hair had completely fallen out, and there was almost no flesh and blood on his body, leaving only a piece of dry skin, so his head looked like a corpse.
Very scary like a skeleton.
However, after observing the spiritual contact from beginning to end for a long time, Xu Chen still vaguely felt a faint breath of life.
This old witch master is indeed not dead yet.
But this state is probably no different from death.
The most important thing is that the old coffin man's skin is dark and cold. The extremely cold aura accumulated in the coffin is constantly released from his body. Except for a faint fluctuation of life, he can hardly feel any human beings at all.
smell and characteristics.
Just like what the elder said, this old witch master has been eroded by the underworld's spiritual intelligence, and the blood poison has completely rotted his body. Now there is only a withered body left, which has no value.
"It's so scary. I didn't expect the old witch master to turn out like this!" Feng Feiyi backed away in horror, while a surprised voice sounded in Xu Chen's mind.
After reading it, Feng Zhao and Feng Xing also turned pale and stepped back to whisper.
"How about it? Do you think the old witch master can still revive him?" the elder's message asked.
Xu Chen slowly withdrew his consciousness and said with a serious face: "It's hard to say now. Although the old witch master has been sleeping for a long time, his breath is still there. As long as there is still a trace of wisdom, there is still a possibility of awakening. We in the mortal world
There is a kind of elixir that can strengthen the soul and flesh and blood, but I dare not test it on the old witch master. If the elder agrees, I want to go back and test it on other sleeping tribesmen. If it succeeds, there may be a chance to awaken the old witch master.
.”
The elder was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "It's best. Let's test it with those tribesmen who have no hope of waking up. Life or death doesn't matter. If you can really help save the old witch master, you will be our Wind Clan and even the entire Minghuang Human Clan."
Your biggest benefactor, when the time comes, all tribes will accept the call of the old witch master and help you find a way out."
Xu Chen nodded and said: "It's too early to say it's successful right now. Let's not disturb the old witch master's sleep for the time being. Let's go back first!"
"Okay, okay!" The elder quickly closed the coffin lid.
As the coffin lid closed with a click, the cold aura that was so terrifying that it froze the soul and meridians and dantian was suddenly cut off, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
