This mission at the top of the bounty list is a bit special. It does not fall into the category of hunting for the inner elixir of monsters, killing the enemies of the sect, or protecting the disciples. It seems to be the fourth category of missions mentioned by the guiding disciples.
What made him most curious was that this mission was acceptable to disciples from the Chenwu Realm to the Yun Dao Realm. The limit on the number of people in the mission was also very loose. It could be done by a single person or a group. It could be collected unlimited times. The rewarded merit points were also included in all missions.
The richest.
"Dare I ask Senior Sister, this underground palace demon hunting mission..." Lu Chen stepped forward and asked curiously.
The sister who received her beautiful eyes glanced at the Five Swords symbol on the chest of his Taoist robe, and said in a soft tone: "This junior brother is in a lot of dangers in the underground palace, and people may die, so it is better to go back and practice hard for a while before going."
"I'm just curious. Could you please explain me, senior sister?" Lu Chen said sincerely.
The receptionist said with a smile: "I guess you don't know that our Shitian Sect established its sect here. In addition to the abundant vitality of this place, the most important reason is to suppress an underground palace of evil spirits.
It is said that it is a realm of its own, with countless floors. Even the founder of the sect only reached the ninety-ninth floor. In the end, he had to retreat for some reasons, set up a large formation in the underground palace, and founded a sect on it.
, using the awe-inspiring righteousness of many sect disciples to drive the formation to suppress it.
But the Demon Underground Palace is extremely weird. The resentment, killing and death energy inside it seems to never dissipate. Even if all the demons inside are killed, some will appear inexplicably after a while, and there is even a tendency to accumulate more and more. In order to contain them,
growth, so we have this task.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart moved slightly, and he subconsciously thought of the hell world, and said in confusion: "The founder of the sect could not level the tower back then, wouldn't it mean that if the disciples go down, they will never return?"
"Junior brother, you are overly worried. The founder of the sect placed the formation on the 90th floor. He used the tactic of pulling out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron to extract the demonic energy below and release it to the previous floors. The derived monsters gradually increased from top to bottom, and appeared on the next floor.
A protective formation is set up at the entrance of each floor, and is guarded by sect masters. Sect disciples can use the teleportation formation to reach the underground palace suitable for their level. When in danger, they can crush the flying jade slip to escape." The receptionist explained patiently.
.
After asking about the strength of the demons in each layer of the underground palace and how to accept the sect's mission, Lu Chen thanked him and left.
Arriving at the bounty list, Lu Chen put his disciple's nameplate into the groove below, his mind sank into it, and he selected the task of 'Demon Hunting in the Underground Palace'. Then a fluorescent light flashed on the nameplate, and the registration was completed.
Taking the nameplate, Lu Chen went straight to the Demon Caves in the center of the Nine Peaks of Shitian, next to the Inner Gate Square. However, when he wanted to enter, the Little Saint flew up with an unhappy look on his face.
He summoned it several times, but for the first time it ignored him and instead flew a long way up, as if it had no intention of following him in.
In desperation, he had no choice but to let it play on its own. He walked along the wide stone steps inside the cave, winding down nearly a kilometer, to a huge one that was more than 200 meters high and the size of five or six football fields.
The cave appeared before our eyes.
In the center of the cave is a 100-meter-high golden statue. The carved old Taoist has a kind face and kind eyes, but it exudes an invisible pressure that makes people look in awe and fear. Under it is a large-scale altar and large and small altars.
There are six teleportation arrays, and one hundred and eight slightly shorter bronze pillars are erected in a certain pattern on the surrounding wide ground.
With the help of the secret key, Lu Chen keenly felt that they were continuously absorbing a power as warm as the sun between heaven and earth, and continuously injecting it into the golden statue.
At this time, there was an endless stream of disciples coming and going on the altar, and judging from their costumes, most of them were disciples from Tianjian Peak.
When I got closer, I saw more than a dozen third- and fourth-generation disciples with scars and blood flowing out of them, stumbling out of the teleportation array. Seeing the familiar surroundings, they breathed a sigh of relief. Dan Dingfeng, who had been waiting nearby for a long time,
The disciples immediately rushed forward and quickly bandaged and treated him.
Just as he was surprised by the crisis in the underground palace, a dazzling light flashed from the largest teleportation array next to him. Lu Chen couldn't help but his face changed wildly when he looked over, revealing a half-cut corpse of a third-generation disciple of the Yun Dao Realm. The body was cut off at chest level, neatly cut like a knife.
There was still a broken jade slip in his hand.
"Hey! This is already the seventh person this month. Don't be brave after everyone goes down. When in danger, you must crush the jade slip as soon as possible!" The elder guarding the formation shook his head and sighed, and waved his hand to protect the formation.
The disciples quickly stepped forward to help their fellow disciples collect the bodies.
Lu Chen accepted this bounty for the first time and had no experience record. The disciple in charge of the teleportation was afraid that something might happen to him, so he refused the request to teleport directly to the peak level of the fourth realm of Chenwu. In desperation, he had no choice but to stroll to the underground palace next to the altar.
Entrance.
"The Feidun Jade Slip is a portable teleportation circle, which is expensive to build. Junior disciples can receive one as a gift when entering for the first time. After that, they need to pay one hundred sect contribution points to redeem it.
Remember! It takes about a minute from activation to taking effect. You cannot attack or move after crushing the jade slip, otherwise your body will be torn apart by the power of space. The senior brother just crushed the jade slip too late, and the monster rushed
I had to hide when I got close, only to be killed by the power of space." The senior brother next to the entrance of the underground palace handed over a silver-white jade slip and explained patiently.
Lu Chen nodded, pushed open the door of the underground palace and walked in. As soon as he entered, his expression changed slightly. The world here was filled with an aura of resentment and bloody violence that was somewhat similar to the hell world!
The only difference is that the world of hell is filled with a lot of fire power, and this space is filled with a faint black death energy.
A faint black mist of death filled the underground palace. Although there were illuminated luminous pearls inlaid above the underground palace, you could only see things within ten meters. Beyond this range, it was pitch black.
When he came here for the first time, Lu Chen didn't bring any lighting torches, and he didn't want to expose his cultivation in the Condensation Realm, so he came up with the idea of night pearls. Unexpectedly, they were all protected by mini formations. If he wanted to take them
If you come down, you can only destroy the formation.
In desperation, he had no choice but to dissipate his blood energy and walk carefully towards the depths of the underground palace. Within ten meters, he saw black mist rolling in front of him, and a black figure suddenly formed in the mist, charging towards him with a grin on his face.
Lu Chen quickly dodged and flew back, only to realize that the monster that rushed towards him turned out to be a monster skeleton from the third realm of Chenwu. Orchid ghost fire flashed in the empty eye sockets, and its sharp claws with a cold light went straight to grab his throat.
In addition to being a bit scary in appearance, a monster of this strength was just a waste in his eyes. He killed it effortlessly, but was depressingly surprised to find that it provided almost no health to the key, and in fact contributed a lot to Senhan.
Soul power.
The scattered bones disappeared strangely before they hit the ground, leaving only a dark bead larger than a mung bean falling on the ground. This thing called a magic bead is a certificate for apprentices to eliminate demons, and can be exchanged for it after the end of the experience.
Sect merit points.
Lu Chen picked up the magic bead and sensed it briefly, and found that except for a faint trace of soul power, most of it contained a mysterious force that was as cold as death.
The underground palace was indeed a realm of its own, wider than he imagined. Lu Chen groped forward for several hours, killing more than two hundred skeletal demons from the third level of Chenwu. He had not yet discovered its boundaries, and even more
Forget about the teleportation array and the entrance to the next level.
Fortunately, he met a senior sister from Shenji Peak during his training and kindly gave him a Xuanyuan Compass. With its guidance, he found the teleportation array set up by the sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known how long he would have to wander around in it.
