Chapter 267: Encountering the Universe and Exploring the Dragon's Nest
The sudden change caught Li Geng by surprise.
When he left that adventure, he had left a unique mark for positioning purposes, but now he found that the adventure had left the previous direction.
Tie Tang asked calmly: "Has there ever been a similar situation before?"
He didn't pay too much attention to the true dragon's lair because he didn't know what was in it.
The unknown is both full of hope and hidden with infinite terror.
"At least not during the time I have been in contact with it, but I have heard of some cave heavens occasionally moving their positions.
The current situation is like a real dragon's lair being frightened away by some movement." The illusory dragon shadow on Li Geng's face was moving extremely slowly, which made him feel relieved.
"Isn't Qiyu a dead thing? Can it still grow legs and walk?" Zhen Guandong was the most anxious. He didn't even look at the scenery and walked back and forth beside Li Geng.
"In many cases, it may be that there is a psychic object inside Qiyu, which has moved the entire nest.
Perhaps the nest was contaminated with the blood of the true dragon, giving birth to a trace of spiritual wisdom, sensing the hidden crisis, and choosing to leave and avoid it in advance.
These are all uncertain things!
But I don’t know whether it sensed our arrival and chose to leave; or whether it was because someone else was approaching that area, giving it a sense of crisis."
"No matter what the reason is, it doesn't seem to be good."
Amidst everyone's worries, the Lotus Jade Boat flew forward quickly.
About four hours later.
Li Geng pressed the bow of the boat, flew to the ground with everyone, and walked instead.
"Fortunately, it didn't go too far and has stopped now. Let's move forward quietly. If the nest moves again, it may mean that there are unwelcome people among us."
Li Geng’s words are not difficult to understand.
He himself has been here before, and the adventure has not escaped, which shows that the adventure does not exclude him, and may even be an opportunity unique to him.
There were a few more people here this time. If Qiyu chose to run away, someone among Tietang must have been strongly rejected by Qiyu.
"The four of them are at the top of their game. They have deep luck and are favored by heaven. If the nest rejects us, it must be the reason why we and the four of us are excluded." Ji Yingzhe knows a lot about himself.
If Qi Yu escapes again, he, Wu Congyun, Li Yao, and Zhen Guandong will have to stop here.
Li Geng didn't say anything. There were some things that he couldn't force, and he couldn't change them.
Tian Wen said with a smile: "Tietou's lucky thief is good. If we follow him, we can definitely catch up. It's OK, it's OK."
"It's not that I'm lucky, I'm just lucky." Tie Tang muttered to himself.
A group of seven people followed Li Geng and walked forward cautiously. The speed was definitely not fast, and there was not even much dust raised along the way.
Ahead are the continuous towering mountains, which don’t look out of the ordinary. At the foot of the mountains are overgrown weeds, turning the distance into a sea of green.
A few scattered ancient trees are dotted diagonally among them. They look a little weird, half green and half dry, like a yin and yang tree of life and death.
A wisp of breeze blew by, bringing with it bursts of coolness and the heavy fragrance of earth. Earthworms came out of the ground and rolled the black fat soil. Reptiles passed by and black snakes chased after them.
"It's a nice place, there don't seem to be many people there."
Tian Wenzheng sighed with emotion, and suddenly stepped down. The world around him changed drastically, and green peaks stretched across his eyes.
These peaks are extremely weird and appear to be very thin, standing like sword blades. The cliffs on both sides are really like divine swords. Just looking at them seems to scratch your eyes.
"What the hell, where are the people?"
Ji Yingzhe and others who were following Tianwen saw Tie Tang and others in front of them suddenly disappear, and hurriedly chased after them.
This kick fell
The world changed drastically, and the figures of the eight people appeared, but they were suddenly tens of feet away from each other, and the surrounding situation became extremely strange, as if they had arrived in another world.
Several people gathered quickly without scattering.
"Is this the real dragon's lair?" Zhen Guandong looked back and forth curiously, while Li Geng smiled and said nothing.
Whoosh!
A huge fat insect passed in front of everyone, leaving a deep mark, mixed with a strong earthy smell.
"What the hell?" Tianwen was startled, and just as he was about to take action, the fat insect had already gone away quickly.
There are too many sword peaks around, they are extremely dense, and they look extremely sharp, so everyone is cautious when walking, for fear that some organ will be missing from their body while walking.
"Where is this? The Sa family is scared!" Zhen Guandong shrank and turned into a three-inch dragon, wrapped around Tie Tang's ears, and did not dare to move on his own.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
A rustling sound came from the right side.
Everyone present knew as soon as they heard it that it was the sound of a giant snake revealing its serpent message and moving its body.
"There is a big demon approaching, please be careful." Tian Wen stepped out with a golden light, preparing to meet the enemy.
Oh no~
Accompanied by a thick fishy smell, a large black-scaled snake appeared above everyone's heads with its triangular head held high.
Its body is extremely huge, the pink snake letters it spits out from time to time are like steel forks, and its huge green and black vertical pupils stare at everyone coldly.
"This" Tian Wen froze, not at all afraid, but rather confused.
Because although this black snake looks huge, it seems to have no demonic power, and its energy and blood are extremely scattered and weak. It seems that it can be crushed with one finger?
"Hahahaha~ I'm laughing so hard!" Li Geng fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and constantly slapping the ground.
"It's just an ordinary poisonous snake." Tie Tang's eyes flashed with purple light, and he saw where the black snake came from.
This is not a big monster, just an ordinary poisonous snake, without even much intelligence.
How could an ordinary poison grow so huge?
Some people still don’t understand.
Wu saw the clues from the cloud: "It is the magical power of Xumina Mustard Seed. All of us have been shrunk, but these mortal objects have not been affected, so they look very big."
"Senior, great advice." Li Geng stopped laughing and stood up to explain to everyone.
The 'Sword Peak' they saw in front of them was just weeds, and the fat insect just now was just an earthworm.
"If you didn't tell me earlier, you wouldn't have told me earlier!" Tian Wen stepped forward and punched Li Geng twice.
"Who knew you were so timid? A snake scared you. I almost died laughing."
"Watch me make a fool of myself, right? You like it, you like it."
"Stop, hit me again and hit me back."
"Don't fight back."
"I've given you some face, right?"
The two of them fought together, and the terrifying noise alarmed the black snake, causing it to quickly escape with its tail between its legs.
After a while.
Li Geng and Tian Wen, each with blue and black eyes, were separated by Tie Tang and set off to the front again.
"Taoist Priest, have we not arrived at the true dragon's lair yet?"
"Now it's just on the periphery. This lair has its own magic. I don't know who was it, or it changed itself. With the great magical power of Xumina Mustard Seed, it shrunk the whole into as small as sand.
If I hadn't stumbled upon it by mistake, I would never have found this place."
After clearly understanding the truth, everyone hurried on a little faster, no longer afraid of being scratched by the surrounding 'Sword Peaks'.
"Arrived!"
Eight people stopped in front of a dark cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave is not wide and can barely accommodate a person walking alone. There are thick vines growing around it, covering most of the entrance.
"You are the only one who dares to enter this kind of ghost place. You are really not afraid of death!" Tian Wen said sarcastically.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If it were the rest of them, even if they came here by chance, they would not dare to enter alone without knowing that there was an adventure inside.
Who knows what's inside?
Li Geng smiled and said: "Do you think that the world in my sleeves is all for nothing? The first time I came to the neighborhood, I knew that the surroundings had been changed by the magical power of Xumina Mustard Seed.
A place like this is either very bad or very good, you can find out by just testing it out."
Tie Tang pondered: "The cave has not moved, which means it does not exclude me and the others. Should we just go in like this or does the Taoist priest have another way?"
"I'll open the way. The great monk is in the middle. Tie Tang, you are at the rear. I can't guarantee that there won't be any danger inside. It's better to be careful."
Among the people present, apart from Wu Congyun, Tie Tang and the others were undoubtedly the most powerful. Li Geng had a mature opinion, and no one disagreed.
Everyone filed in, and Tie Tang fell behind the team. As soon as they stepped in, they felt infinite darkness coming in, and they couldn't see the road ahead at all.
Fortunately, everyone is successful in cultivation, and it is not witchcraft. The blindness of magical powers cannot be hidden from their eyes at all.
To them, the cave where they can’t see their fingers is as bright as day.
The interior of the cave is extremely narrow, barely enough for one person to pass through alone. It is like a long and lonely passage, giving it an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"The body of a real dragon is so huge. This kind of ghost place doesn't look like a real dragon's lair at all. Niubi, are you lying to us?"
"You know what the heck, I didn't say this must be a real dragon's lair, it's just a possibility, maybe you understand?
Secondly, how big or small is the real dragon? How can we guess?"
Tian Wen and Li Geng bickered as they walked, while the others concentrated on observing everything around them, trying to find some differences.
The rock walls inside the cave are very smooth, and they do not look like they were formed by weathering. Instead, they look like traces of hard friction caused by the constant walking of giant objects.
Tie Tang stroked the rock wall and walked forward: "It is basically certain that this place was not built by humans like us, but must be the work of a foreign race."
"I think so too. You can see more as you move forward, and you will understand by then."
The road in the cave is not straight, but has different steepness. It rises for a while and drops for a while. It curves left and right without waiting, and it is twists and turns.
After walking for about a stick of incense, the team in front stopped, and Long Yu and Ji Yingzhe's exclamations were heard.
"What's going on?"
Li Geng shouted loudly: "There is a fork in the road. Should I follow the path I took last time, or should I explore another path?"
"Safety comes first!" Tie Tang made the decision.
The team moved forward again, and when Tie Tang came to the intersection, the terrain suddenly became larger. There were three holes in front of them, and many lines were carved on the stone wall above their heads, like ghostly symbols.
This is not human writing. Judging from the traces, it looks like some kind of beast, carved with sharp claws.
Li Geng chose the middle cave entrance, and Tie Tang would not be extra curious and go to the two surrounding cave entrances to commit suicide.
He followed the long queue and continued walking forward.
The road is getting wider and wider, the surrounding stone walls are getting higher and higher, and a trace of white mist-like vitality of heaven and earth escapes, expressing the extraordinaryness of this place.
As everyone continued to move forward, the thick vitality of heaven and earth turned into clouds and mist, filling the entire road.
By the time he left another stick of incense, Tie Tang's clothes were already wet.
The extremely rich vitality of heaven and earth has turned into rain, pouring down in the passage.
It rained heavily in the almost airtight cave. This scene was as strange as it could be.
The surrounding rock walls seem to be practicing, constantly absorbing the strong vitality of heaven and earth, absorbing the water line under Tietang's feet, so that the water will not overflow the golden mountain.
"After absorbing so much vitality from heaven and earth, I'm afraid these rock walls have been refined. No wonder the caves have legs.
I wonder if we can sell these stones for a big price if we dig out some of them?"
Tie Tang pondered for a moment, but still did not seek death, for fear of causing additional changes, and now he still focuses on safety.
It's not that he's afraid of death, but he's thinking about other people.
There are gradually more paintings on the rock walls along the way, and there are also patterns like ghost paintings next to them.
It's a pity that these paintings have long lost all their color, leaving only some ambiguous traces, barely able to see a trace of the original appearance.
"Maybe these things are all supreme skills, but it's a pity that I can't learn them." Tie Tang guessed some possibilities.
Finally.
After walking for more than half an hour, the eight people arrived at their destination, which was also the "periphery" that Li Geng had previously mentioned.
Light appeared in the dark passage, and as Tie Tang moved forward, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up dozens of times.
This is a large circular platform, surrounded by steep rock walls tens of feet high. The top is blocked by some black mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
There is a clear spring in the center, with a radius of three feet. Nine emerald green vines are swaying in the clear spring. There is a touch of bright red at the top, which seems to have traces of picking.
"There used to be nine clear sky flowers here, but I ate them all. How about you eat some leaves?" Li Geng walked to the clear spring, picked up the spring water and washed his face.
Tian Wen looked disdainfully: "Who are you looking down on? Although Clear Sky Flower is rare, it is not a treasure. Why should I eat its leaves? It is a waste of natural resources.
But is there anything special about this square spring water?"
"No!" Li Geng shook his head.
"This spring water is really just spring water. It looks small, but in fact it is probably as big as four or five lakes. I went down to look for it, but there is nothing left. There is some good soil. You can eat the soil if you want." p>
"Eat dirt? I'll eat you too."
The two were fighting and fussing, while Tie Tang was quietly observing the surroundings.
You can see everything here at a glance, there is nothing special about it, the circular rock wall is inlaid with many jewel-like jade stones.
It is also these jade stones that bring a glimmer of light into the cave.
The most numerous of them are gems that emit red light, like red agate or red emerald. Some are crystal clear, some are turbid, densely packed, extremely random, and inlaid around irregularly.
Apart from this, there are no other unnecessary objects around, not even a weed.
Only the thick vitality of heaven and earth is left, transformed into various lions, tigers, oxen, horses, cranes, pythons, snakes and other strange animals, wandering around in it, as if you have arrived in a fairyland.
"The vitality of the heaven and earth here is so rich that it far exceeds what is known in the outside world. You might as well practice here first. The great monk and the Taoist priest and I are looking around."
Long Yu, Ji Yingzhe, Li Yao, and Wu Congyun all nodded in agreement, found a place to sit cross-legged, adjusted their minds, and prepared to practice hard.
Only Zhen Guandong hangs upside down on Tie Tang's right ear, unwilling to leave.
"There may be danger outside. If I find anything, I will come back to you." Tie Tang flicked his finger and sent Zhen Guandong to the vicinity of Qingquan.
He felt that practicing there in Zhen Guandong would have additional benefits.
"Taoist Master, this is already a dead end. You went one step further. Could it be one of the other two cave entrances just now?"
Li Geng shook his head and pointed to the rock wall behind Central Qingquan: "The door is there, but it hasn't appeared yet. Since we don't plan to go in yet, we shouldn't open it rashly."
Tie Tang followed the direction of his finger and saw only the same rock wall as the surrounding ones, without any sign of a gate.
But since Li Geng said this, he obviously has his reasons.
Tianwen jumped over: "Let's go to the intersection just now and explore."
Li Geng seemed a little embarrassed: "I don't know what's inside the other two cave entrances, and I haven't been in there. There may be a crisis. Why don't you try to practice a little or two first to see if you can refine the soul?" p>
"It's just what the Taoist priest said." Tie Tang stopped Tian Wen who was about to refute.
Everything is unknown here, so hasty exploration is obviously not a good idea.
"Niubi, those murals and those words just now, can you tell what race they are?"
"I copied some of them, but I didn't ask about them after I went out, and I didn't know."
"Are those words?" Tie Tang thought of the ghostly symbols he had just seen and couldn't believe it.
Li Geng nodded: "It is very likely that some of the most powerful races are extremely intelligent and have their own language and writing."
"It seems that it is really possible that it is some supreme skill!"
"Even if it is, we can't practice it. We can only learn a few things from it, which is of little significance. Besides, the ancient method may not be better than the modern method. These pictures and texts may not be as powerful as we imagined."
After briefly chatting for a few words, the two of them did not ask any more questions and found a place to start practicing. Li Geng blocked the entrance to the cave to protect everyone and prevent some unexpected situations.
The first day.
There was no disturbance at all. With the help of the pure and rich vitality of heaven and earth, several people's cultivation levels improved, but they did not reach the point of qualitative change.
The second day, the third day and the seventh day.
The sudden change caused a surprise.
The source of the cause is not Tie Tang, nor Tian Wen, nor Li Geng.
But Li Yao!
Li Yao was originally in the Dragon Yuan realm. This realm is easy to say and difficult to say. It is to accumulate witchcraft power and expand the endurance of his Dantian as much as possible so that it can accommodate more witchcraft power until it reaches its limit.<
/p>
Because the vitality of heaven and earth is so strong here, it is the best place to accumulate witchcraft power.
On the fourth day, Long Yu had taken the lead in breaking through from the Dragon Yuan Realm to the Divine Power Realm, but it did not cause any changes.
On the seventh day, Li Yao was also filled with water, and he was naturally promoted to the realm of magical power.
