Upon hearing the woman's words, most of the disciples immediately dispersed. Some followed the woman surnamed Lin to those tall buildings, while others took off directly and left the stone village, flying to unknown places.
Only Liu Ming and other seven or eight people who were obviously here for the first time looked at each other and walked towards the stone monument in the middle of the village.
After a cup of tea, Liu Ming finished reading the words on the stone tablet and walked around the stone village for a while.
I found that in addition to a small teleportation circle that can only be used under special circumstances, there is also a general store and a refining shop. The former specializes in providing some simple supplies such as Bigu Pills and spiritual liquids, while the other can repair some damaged items.
Talisman utensils, and there are also some simple Talisman utensils for sale.
As for other small stone houses, they are provided free of charge for all disciples participating in the suppression mission to rest and use.
Liu Ming had prepared all the supplies before he came. He just spent dozens of spirit stones to buy a map of the Ten Thousand Bones Cave from the grocery store, and then flew out of the stone village like everyone else.
In the air, he spread out the map. After looking at it carefully, he narrowed his eyes and looked around the basin from a distance.
On the top of the hills at the edge of the basin, there are some vague black stone pillars of different heights standing, and at regular intervals in the basin, there will be one or several blue stone platforms with some simple inscriptions on them.
Spirit pattern.
Liu Ming looked at these stone pillars and platforms, and then looked at the map in his hand. Suddenly his expression changed, and he made a seal with one hand, and the gray cloud carried him to a higher place in an instant.
Three hundred feet, four hundred feet, six hundred feet, one thousand feet...
After flying more than a thousand feet, Liu Ming looked down carefully and took a deep breath.
I saw that the entire small basin was a super magic circle with a radius of ten thousand acres, and the seemingly ordinary stone village was the center of the whole magic circle.
It seems that the Ten Thousand Bone Cave is indeed as terrifying as the rumors say, otherwise several sects would not have joined forces to set up such an astonishing sealing formation.
According to the information he checked, the Ten Thousand Bone Cave was said to have appeared after an explosion of earthly lung energy five or six thousand years ago.
It is said that there are countless skeletons of humans and animals buried deep underground thousands of years ago. As a result, after being polluted by the earth's lung air for a long time, they all came to life and transformed into ghosts that resembled skeletons.
However, because these skeletons have existed for such a long time, not many of them can produce acquired intelligence, so they are collectively called bone ghosts.
As for the strength of these bone ghosts, due to the different lengths of time they corrode the earth's lung energy, their natural strengths vary greatly. They range from soldier-level bone ghosts who are comparable to Qi Refiners to general-level ghosts who can compete with spiritual masters.
Some people also say that there is a true King of Bone Ghosts at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Bone Cave, who possesses the strength of a true King of Ghosts and can even defeat the seniors in the crystallization stage.
Of course, not many people believe the last statement. After all, if there really is such a king of bone ghosts, the seniors in the crystallization stage of each sect would have already taken action, which would allow such evil ghosts to remain at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Bone Cave.
of.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, these bone ghosts were unable to be frightened and subdued by psychic techniques. After being killed, only the spiritual bones and a kind of foul energy crystal beads occasionally produced in the body were of any value.
But even so, in order to prevent too many ghosts in the cave from breaking through the seals set by the sects, the sects could only send their disciples into it again and again to kill a large number of bone ghosts.
But unfortunately, the energy in the lungs here seems to be endless, and there is no telling how many bones are buried underneath. Even though many ghosts are killed every year, many new bone ghosts are also born at the same time.
As a result, each sect will send certain disciples to garrison here all year round, and they will pay a lot of rewards to attract other disciples to take the initiative to practice here.
However, hundreds of years ago, the Barbarian Ghost Sect reached some unknown agreement with other sects, and actually took over the task of dispatching garrison disciples all year round. Of course, if other sects sent scattered disciples here, they would naturally be able to do so unimpeded.
.
Although the Ten Thousand Bones Cave has existed for so long without any major troubles, the danger inside is definitely real.
It is said that the entire Ten Thousand Bones Cave has nine floors, but only the first five floors have actually been visited by anyone.
The bone ghosts that generally appear on the first, second and third floors of the Ten Thousand Bone Cave are all pawn-level ones, while the fourth and fifth floors are dominated by tough-level bone ghosts, and even general-level bone ghosts occasionally appear. It is said that in the world below the fifth floor,
This is the world of general-level bone ghosts, and not even spiritual masters dare to break into it.
Therefore, the spiritual disciples who come here usually just sweep up the first three floors. Those who dare to enter the fourth and fifth floors are either really skilled and brave people, or they are accompanied by a spiritual master.
After Liu Ming watched it in the sky for a while, he quickly thought about the relevant information in his mind, and then the gray cloud fell downwards. A moment later, he arrived at a hill on the edge of the basin.
On the stone wall more than ten feet away from him, there was a cave several feet high, and the entrance was shrouded in a layer of white light.
This is one of the entrances to the Ten Thousand Bones Cave. There are similar entrances all over the basin, and it is said that there are nearly a hundred of them.
The white light at the entrance is a powerful restriction specifically designed to restrain ghosts, but disciples of various sects can enter and exit without any obstacles.
Liu Ming strode towards the entrance of the cave without saying a word. After a moment, a white light flashed, and his body disappeared into the cave.
Once entering the light curtain, there is a passage more than ten feet long. Although the stone walls on both sides are smooth, the overall shape is not very smooth, and it is obviously not carved by manpower.
However, there was a faint white light emanating from the stone wall, which illuminated the passage extremely brightly.
Liu Ming was curious, so he immediately walked to one side of the stone wall and took a closer look. He raised his arm and casually broke off a piece of crystal that glowed faintly.
These stones look like spiritual stones, but in fact they are extremely turbid inside, and the existence of vitality cannot be sensed at all.
Liu Ming shook his head, threw away the crystal in his hand, patted the leather bag on his waist with one hand, and with a roll of black light, the White Bone Scorpion appeared on the ground nearby wrapped in a ball of green air.
"go"
Liu Ming moved forward a little and shouted lowly.
In an instant, the Bone Scorpion jumped up and disappeared into the dark shadows ahead.
Liu Ming then touched the copper ring on his wrist and walked forward slowly.
After walking not far, a cave appeared in front of me that was more than ten feet long and wide. There were three different passages, all of which seemed to lead deeper underground.
Liu Ming chose one without hesitation and entered it in a flash.
An hour later, Liu Ming didn't know how many caves he passed and how many passages he passed through, but he vaguely felt that he should be very deep underground.
Even the luminous crystals on both sides of the passage began to become scarce, making the surrounding environment look hazy and giving people a strange feeling of heartbeat speeding up.
When Liu Ming turned a corner and came to an intersection, something suddenly jumped up from the soil nearby and pounced straight in his face.
There was a muffled "bang" sound.
Liu Ming swayed his body to avoid the opponent. After moving his arm again, he suddenly hit the black shadow hard with a fist wrapped in a ball of yellow light.
The black shadow immediately flew out, hit the passage on one side hard, and cracked open.
Liu Ming then took a closer look and saw a beast-like bone ghost that was only half a foot long. Half of its body had been shattered by the punch just now, but the remaining part had a flashing black bead embedded in its head.
Despite being urged, he even managed to stand up.
A "whoosh" sound.
A black thread flashed past, instantly piercing the skull of the small bone ghost. After another blur, the remaining body of the bone ghost was scattered away.
Liu Ming then grabbed the void with one hand.
The bone ghost's small head immediately flew out of thin air and was caught by it.
The five fingers exerted only a slight force, and a huge force surged out, crushing the bone ghost's head to pieces. The black ball embedded in it immediately rolled out and fell into the palm of his hand.
Liu Ming looked at the bean-sized ball in his hand, and estimated that it could be exchanged for one or two contribution points. Suddenly, the White Bone Scorpion emerged from the ground nearby and stared at the foul energy bead in Liu Ming's hand.
, actually made a low whine.
"You want this?"
Liu Ming was a little surprised when he saw this situation, but then he thought about it and threw the beads in his hand to the ghost.
The White Bone Scorpion jumped up, swallowed the black beads in mid-air, and then lay still on the ground.
Liu Ming looked at the ghost up and down for a while, but after finding nothing unusual, he shook his head and moved on.
…
Three days later.
There was a loud "Boom", and the head of a humanoid bone ghost was shattered into fragments in the explosion of a fireball. At the same time, a black ball as big as a broad bean rolled out, and the white headless body shook.
After a few shakes, what fell to the ground turned into a pile of scattered bones.
With a "swish" sound, a group of green shadows flashed past, and the black ball on the ground disappeared.
Liu Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes after watching the White Bone Scorpion raise its head and make a crisp sound "bang".
This is the filthy energy bead of a real dead-level bone ghost. You can exchange it for at least three or four contribution points when you take it outside. Just letting the white bone scorpion eat some of it will naturally cause a burst of physical pain in the heart.
This is also the first soldier-level humanoid bone ghost he has encountered in the past few days, instead of the low-grade small bone ghosts such as bone rabbits and bone rats he encountered before.
However, since he discovered that the green energy on the body of the Bone Scorpion that had swallowed seven or eight foul energy beads seemed a little denser than before, he no longer objected to the White Bone Scorpion's move to snatch the foul energy beads.
As soon as the White Bone Scorpion finished eating the black beads, it turned around and suddenly used its giant claw to pull out a small piece of abnormally crystal clear bone several inches long from the pile of bones.
Liu Ming's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and snatched the small bone off. After carefully identifying it, he smiled and said to himself:
"It is indeed a spiritual bone. Unfortunately, it is only ten years old, but it can be exchanged for more than a hundred spiritual stones."
