Chapter 301 We have been waiting for you for a long time
This is impossible!" Yu Ruoyun quietly came to Bai Ji, took the pickaxe and looked it up and down, "Without an antidote, let alone the Star Sea realm, even a titled strong man, or even a master who has half-stepped into the Star Soul.
We can never get here safely.
Do you think this valley of death and restricted area of life is a vain name?
If this person can come here, he must have obtained the antidote... Huh?"
Suddenly Yu Ruoyun was surprised, "The production date on this pickaxe turned out to be... December last year?"
"Last December? The nine-story pagoda was closed at that time, right? It just opened this year... Did this pickaxe just appear here recently?"
"If the production date on it is not written randomly...it has been less than five days since this pickaxe appeared here. After all, we have been on the front three floors for the past three days."
"But why would someone bring a pickaxe to the Valley of Death?" Bai Ji asked in confusion.
"Just now, Wang Lan and I discovered a space box from fifteen years ago in the dense forest. There was a pile of space stones in the space box. This proves that there is a space stone mine on the fourth floor."
"If he came here to mine, it is speculated that either he was thrown into the Valley of Death and killed, or the Valley of Death was the place he must pass through. But even if he was thrown in and killed, he would not be able to reach this point.
Location.
Moreover, there will definitely not be many people who come to mine secretly. If they take a detour from other places, they will be in danger of encountering powerful beasts. If they have the antidote, passing through Death Valley should be the safest way.
The space stone mine is either inside Death Valley, or Death Valley is the only way to go."
"It's unlikely to be the only way to go. Death Valley is not very big, and we can get around Death Valley in one day with our walking distance. Taking an extra day will not put us in danger of having to go to Death Valley."
"Then, what could possibly leave the pickaxe here?"
"Either he accidentally left the pickaxe here, or he had an accident."
As speculations were exchanged with each other, a reasonable causal logic was deduced.
"Should I tell the school?"
"I don't believe there is only one person here to mine, and they came with the team this time and are probably digging with pickaxes. Come on, let's find them first. By then there will be no evidence of denial.
Damn you bastard, no wonder alien spaces have been opened in the Magic City from time to time in recent years. I was always wondering why there were so many space stones. It turns out the problem is here."
"The people behind it are extremely courageous if they dare to break ground on the top of Xingwu Academy." Yue Jifeng smiled and shook his shoulders.
The four people began to explore Death Valley. Because the ghost eyes hid underground and escaped, Wang Lan first used the hymn of life to get rid of the Xingwu toxin contained in the three people's bodies. After all, both the antidote and the ghost eye toxins are highly toxic, and only two
are compatible and can cancel each other out.
And Wang Lan is also thinking about where the people who come to mine can get the antidote to Xingwu toxin? Even the oldest space box is from fifteen years ago. In other words, the antidote has been available for more than fifteen years.
Space stones have also been mined for over fifteen years?
Death Valley was designated as a forbidden area more than 20 years ago, but some people are secretly mining? Is it someone doing it secretly behind the back of the school, or is it an arrangement between the school and those people?
"Ruoyun, Gale, sensed the knocking vibration in the underground space." Bai Ji inserted her fingers on the ground and said suddenly.
"Where is it? Directly ahead, three kilometers away."
"Go, alert formation."
The distance of three kilometers was not a distance at all to the four of them. In less than ten minutes, the four of them approached the location Bai Ji mentioned.
From the surface, there is no problem at all. At the end of the entire basin, there are craters everywhere on the cliffs. They are as dense and uneven as craters on the surface of the moon.
"The knocking sound is right below us." Bai Ji said solemnly, "The number of people should be small, less than ten."
"This is similar to what we speculated. It is impossible to mine on a large scale, so there are only ten people."
"Look over there!" Yue Jifeng pointed to a hole hidden among the many potholes halfway up the cliff. The deep entrance looked so out of place with the other potholes.
"Walk!"
The four people's bodies flashed in an instant, and they arrived at the edge of the pit in the blink of an eye. Wang Lan stroked the traces on the edge of the pit, which were manually carved marks, and they should have gone down from here.
It is pitch dark in the pit, and it can be said that you cannot see your fingers. However, in the world of star warriors, eyes are not the only means of action. Sound, air flow, air pressure, and even smell can be used as tools to judge space.
Especially Wang Lan's heat-sensing eyes, which can see things in the dark. The entrance to the cave is small, but the inside is unusually spacious. The two-meter-long cave that winds down was actually dug out with a pickaxe.
Wang Lan touched the traces on the mountain wall, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
Yu Ruoyun took the lead and walked in front, Yue Jifeng walked behind, and Wang Lan and Bai Ji, the two people who needed protection, were in the middle. Yu Ruoyun seemed to be bent on catching the guy who dug up the space stone.
It's not slow, but it's actually moving very fast.
"Ruoyun, slow down, I always feel something is wrong." Wang Lan said softly.
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't think about it for a moment. This tunnel is a bit strange. We have gone down at least three hundred meters, and we are supposed to be underground. But why is the entrance to the cave on the cliff?"
"Isn't it easy to hide?" asked Yue Jiaifeng behind him, "There are similar corrupted caves all around, and one of them is the entrance to the mine without anyone noticing."
"Are you sure?" Wang Lan turned around and looked at Yue Jifeng and asked, "Why did you find the cave at a glance?
Also, this cave was indeed dug manually. But... there are no traces of ore on the rock wall. In a normal mine, there are traces of ore-like minerals everywhere on the rock wall. Even if the quantity is rare and not worth mining, it is definitely
It exists. But the rock wall in this mine is no different from the outside. Are you sure there is a space stone here?"
"Although what you said is correct, now that we have discovered this man-made cave, we must find out who dug it and what the purpose was?" Yu Ruoyun then said.
"Who is it?" Suddenly, a soft shout came from the mine. Yu Ruoyun heard the sound and rushed forward instantly.
The other party seemed to feel the movement in front of him, and suddenly his whole body was ignited with bright star power fluctuations, and his figure flashed and ran towards the depths of the cave.
"Chase!" The moment Yu Ruoyun's words fell to the ground, the person had turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Even if Wang Lan wanted to stop him, it was too late. Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to follow. Star power surged around him, and the gate of the star palace
Open it. In an instant, the Phoenix Sacred Cloth rushes out of the Star Palace and puts it on.
Wang Lan suspected that there was a trap inside, and if he was caught off guard, the holy clothes would be his final protection. If there was an attack that the holy clothes could not block, he would not be able to dodge it even if he dodged.
No longer caring about whether they would be exposed, the four pursued them as fast as lightning. It took nearly half an hour to travel 300 meters, but now, 300 meters was just a blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, he followed the previous person to a cave, and in the cave was a pyramid made of space stones. At this moment, a circle of instruments around the pyramid flashed arcs, but there was no arc.
A crackling sound.
Yu Ruoyun's star power was activated, and the wind blades surrounded him from left to right, knocking down the star warrior who was running wildly in front of him to the ground.
The figure flashed, and Yu Ruoyun landed next to the pyramid.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Seeing the pyramid, he has confirmed that this is indeed not a mine, let alone a space stone mine. Maybe the space box fifteen years ago did not dig the space stone in the Jiucheng Pagoda, but transported the space stone into the nine-story pagoda.
?
Thinking of this, Yu Ruoyun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Why do you transport so many space stones here?"
"Princess Jade, we have been waiting for you for a long time." Suddenly, a figure of a man in black appeared on the top of the pyramid.
"wait for me?"
"Yes, I'll wait for you! My master invites Princess Jade to a different space!"
As soon as the other party's words fell, Wang Lan's expression suddenly changed. Her figure instantly retreated.
"boom--"
He actually bumped into an invisible barrier, and Wang Lan's expression changed drastically. He really bumped into it head-on. The other party had already prepared a dragnet and was waiting for him.
"boom--"
The pyramid in front of him suddenly erupted with dazzling light. Along with the light, terrifying energy swept in, and the person who was standing on the top of the pyramid was instantly engulfed by the light and dissipated.
"Blast the space stone to pieces——" In desperation, Wang Lan shouted hoarsely.
In an instant, star power surged around his body, and the four connected star martial arts instantly gathered in Wang Lan's body. All star power was poured into this earth-shattering attack without reservation.
Yu Ruoyun beside her also reflected on Wang Lan's reminder that the fusion of five attributes turned out to be a composite star martial skill similar to Wang Lan's.
"Purple Flame Thunder Spear——"
"Chaos Dragon Elephant——"
"Wind and lightning chop——"
"boom--"
Three heaven-destroying attacks instantly hit the space stone in front of them. The pyramid of space stones shattered instantly, and terrifying energy overflowed. However, the aftermath of the explosion that was imagined did not occur.
The wanton energy was absorbed by a distorted spatial projection that appeared above the head, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The space stone collapsed and was destroyed like a pile of burned firewood, and the space above the head was violently distorted. But because Wang Lan and the other three suddenly joined forces to launch a terrifying attack, the surrounding barrier had disappeared.
Wang Lan grabbed Yu Ruoyun's hand and said, "Go, get out of here!"
What came from his hand was the power that Yu Ruoyun resisted.
"This matter is beyond our control..." Wang Lan's words suddenly stopped.
Something was wrong. Now it was not just Yu Ruoyun who was resisting, but his own body was also being pulled backwards by an invisible force. Wang Lan turned around fiercely, and the distorted space projection above his head had now turned into a crack.
And he was holding Yu Ruoyun, and Yue Jifeng was holding Bai Ji, barely resisting the suction of the crack in the sky.
"Ruoyun, you have good academic performance, can you explain...why you can open an alien space in an alien space?"
"Opening an alien space in an alien space will only allow the two spaces to merge. Unless... both spaces are two fixed spaces. The nine-story pagoda is special, and what happens here cannot be explained by common sense."
"Stop analyzing and think of a solution...I can't stand it anymore." Yue Jialeng grabbed the rock with one hand and shouted with difficulty.
"You're just fast, I can't hold it anymore..." Before Bai Ji could finish her words, her body suddenly flew backwards and was swallowed up by the space crack with the rapid wind of the moon.
At the moment when the space crack swallowed up Yue Jiaifeng and Bai Ji, Wang Lan couldn't help but let go, as if being sucked into the crack by a vacuum cleaner, and disappeared in an instant.
