Wu Gen was startled and quickly stood up and ran towards the place where the sound came from. Feng'er followed closely. When they reached the place where they had just separated from the two groups of people, a hole appeared at the foot of the mountain, and smoke and dust kept pouring out of it. The two teams that were originally facing each other here have disappeared, and there are still numerous footprints at the entrance of the cave.
This is a huge cave, with green vines hanging down like bead curtains, blocking people's sight. There are gravels at the entrance of the cave. Judging from the traces on the surface of the stones, it is obvious that they have just been broken into pieces.
Looking at the dark entrance of the cave, Wu Gen glanced at Feng'er in surprise. Ever since they arrived at this place, both of them had a vague feeling that someone was spying on them secretly. But looking around, no one was found here.
Feng'er is gifted with special abilities and is naturally sensitive to danger. Wu Gen, on the other hand, felt this feeling even more intensely because of his powerful soul.
With a weak push from his hand, Wu Gen asked Feng'er to stop where he was, while he stepped forward to take a closer look.
When he walked to the entrance of the cave, there was light coming from the curtain. He stretched out his hand to push aside the vines hanging down from the entrance of the cave. Wu Gen looked inside.
The scene in the cave is bizarre, with countless stalactites growing in the cave, criss-crossing up, down, left and right, and densely packed. The largest ones are more than ten feet high, and some are as tall as a person.
In the middle of the stalactites, there is soft light shooting out, which makes the whole cave look magnificent.
What emits golden light are the stone veins hidden between the stone walls. The further inside you look, the denser the golden stone veins become.
Some of the stone veins are damaged, apparently caused by being chopped and smashed. Deep in the cave, two men lay motionless on the ground, apparently dead. .
After seeing the situation in the cave clearly, Wu Gen retreated and returned to Feng'er.
"How?" Feng'er said.
"Those people must have gone in just now and may have discovered some treasure."
"Shall we go in?"
"Don't go in for now. I always feel that this place is a bit cold and not a kind place. We will make a decision after we discuss it after Congyue and the others return."
In shock and doubt, Wu Gen and Feng'er returned to their original place and waited for the others to return. Soon, Shui Congyue, Baoxiang and others returned from the mountain one after another, but the news they brought back was not very ideal.
There is a crater at the top of this mountain. Although the mountain is lush with vegetation, strangely, no birds or animals live in it. The three of them searched back and forth, but couldn't find even a rabbit.
Several people gathered together, all looking a little grim. After hearing about what Wu Gen and Feng'er had just discovered, others became curious.
When they all came to the entrance of the cave, they were all a little dumbfounded when they saw the brightness in the cave.
"This is the Earth Spirit." Suddenly Qiao Ban said excitedly, "It is a rare weapon-refining holy object in the world, and it is also the best thing for Qi practitioners to replenish the Earth Element. In Zhao State, this is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Rare objects have a price but no market. If you get some by chance, they must be used as sect sacred objects or family inheritance. My God, I didn’t expect to encounter so many here."
The bridge crew stared intently at these golden stone veins, with an intoxicated look on their faces, and unknowingly stepped into the cave.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Gen quickly stretched out his hand to grab the other party. As soon as he grabbed the opponent's arm, a huge force came from him, and Wu Gen was thrown several feet away by Qiao Ban. At this time, in the eyes of Qiao Ban, there is no room for others, and anyone who dares to stop him is an enemy.
Seeing that the bridge team had reached a corner, Wu Gen had no choice but to bring water from Yue and Baoxiang to enter, leaving Qihe and Feng'er on standby to provide support.
When he caught up with Qiao Ban, he was standing at the door of a stone chamber. His body was shaking, veins popped out in his hands, and he was holding on to the rocks on the cave wall. Hearing the noise, Qiao Ban turned around with difficulty and said, "Wu Gen, this is definitely a holy land for weapon refiners."
The stone chamber is very large, ten feet high and more than thirty feet long, with a rich fragrance floating around. Huge stone spirits were suspended in the air, floating slowly and moving along invisible trajectories.
The four walls were also paved with a layer of stone essence, forming a long stone vein. There are purple stripes scattered on these stone spirits. Compared with the ones at the entrance of the cave, they are obviously of higher quality.
If such a large stone vein is mined,
He must be rich enough to rival the country.
Wu Gen's breathing also became rapid, and gold and silver like mountains were circling back and forth in front of his eyes. Sake makes people's faces red, and wealth and silk touch people's hearts. No matter who it is, how many people can keep their true intentions after seeing so much wealth.
Just as he was about to rush in with Baoxiang, Shui Congyue reached out and grabbed him, "Where were those people just now?"
After hearing this, Wu Gen became more awake. Yes, as for the people just now, they had already seen two bodies at the entrance of the cave. What about the others?
While he was hesitating, he saw Qi He and Feng'er also walking in. Wu Gen was stunned, but Qi He took the lead in explaining: "Feng'er said that there are some things in it that will be of great benefit to her practice, so..."
There was a sound of knocking in the stone chamber. Qiaoban and Baoxiang could no longer hold back and rushed in, trying to pull down the stone spirit floating in the air. No matter how much the two men struck with their axes and knives, these stone spirits still persisted in following their own trajectory.
"There is blood." Feng'er suddenly spoke and pointed at the stone spirit in the air.
"There are them on the ground too." Qihe rubbed the dust on the ground with his feet, revealing black blood stains that had not yet dried up.
Blood stains were scattered everywhere, but no corpses could be seen. Wu Gen's scalp was numb, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Let's go." Wu Gen yelled, pulling the bridgeman who was still struggling to pry the earth spirit off the wall, turned around and walked towards the stone room. This place gave me a very dangerous feeling. Although the money was good, I had to live to get it.
Others also realized something was wrong and rushed out of the stone room and hurried out of the cave entrance.
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred, the sound of clicking sounded everywhere, and the stalactites moved horizontally and vertically, crossing each other like teeth biting together, forming a tight cage, and even the entrance of the cave was tightly sealed. The six of them were immediately dumbfounded, dodging the constantly moving stone pillars and stalagmites.
"Save me." The bridge guard shouted in horror, his body was supported by a horizontal stone pillar, and he hit the hard stone wall diagonally.
Seeing this, Wu Gen was in a hurry. He raised his knife and was about to rescue him, but a figure rushed out from his side first. Shui cut off the moon halberd. After a deafening bang, the hard stone pillar broke into two pieces.
The bridge guard fell to the ground, with a panicked look on his face, and crawled towards Wu Gen, "This is a trap, we are trapped, what should we do?"
"Shut up." Wu Gen shouted angrily, looking at the stone pillars that were constantly squeezing towards him, he turned around quickly and returned to the stone room. He reached out and took out a piece of clothing, wrapped it in some gravel that Shui Congyue had just smashed, and threw it in with all his strength.
As the clothes were thrown in, the stone spirits that were originally floating slowly accelerated suddenly, and the distance between them narrowed. Under the mutual squeeze, the clothes and gravel were crushed by the stone spirits like millstones.
There are stone pillars behind and stone spirits in front. The faces of the six people are pale. At this moment, I don't know what kind of trap I have fallen into. Only the small area where you stand, the connection between the cave and the stone chamber, is slightly safer.
But seeing the slowly approaching stone pillars behind him, I am afraid that even this place of footing will no longer be safe. Qi He felt extremely regretful at this time. He had known that he would not let Feng'er enter the cave and would have lost his life here in vain.
Shui Congyue tried to cut a passage with his halberd as he had just done, but as he moved, more stalagmites appeared on the stone wall. The stalagmites grew rapidly, and soon formed hard stone pillars, densely packed. On the contrary, it is even denser than before. After trying a few times, Shui Congyue said to Wu Gen with a stern face: "If you can't get through, you have to find another way."
Is there any way? When the manpower is finally exhausted, the stone pillars are endless and they can only force a group of people to go inward, but going inward is not easy. Seeing that the speed of the stone spirit was getting faster and faster at this time, the stone chamber had actually become a huge millstone, ready to grind the flesh and blood of several people into powder at any time.
At this time, I don’t know what happened to the two groups of people just now. They must have died under these institutions, but where did the bodies go?
Seeing everyone's despair, Wu Gen suddenly listened, "Shh, don't talk." He pressed his head tightly against the stone wall and closed his eyes to listen.
In less than a cup of tea, Wu Gen opened his eyes and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain it to several people. After thinking about it, he finally expressed his speculation, "These mechanisms look like dead things, but I always feel like someone is fucking me behind my back
control. Maybe... forget it, let's give it a try. "
He reached out and took off Mu from his arm, "Wake up quickly, people are going to die, don't sleep anymore."
Mu stood up with sleepy eyes, "What are you going to do again? I'm sleeping soundly."
"We are going to die." Wu Gen didn't bother to explain. "If you don't want to die, just answer honestly. Is there a way to form a barrier around the six of us to make it difficult for outsiders to detect our existence."
Mu turned around and looked around. For the first time, he didn't reply. He glanced at Wu Gen. Just as he was about to speak, Wu Gen quickly interrupted, "Is there any way?"
"The soul power here is so weird, it's like someone is looking around but can't feel its presence. I'll try it for now, but I don't know if I can confuse the other person. This method is also very draining for me. I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up for a while." Mu said with some uncertainty.
"Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. If you don't try, you will die here." Wu Gen looked serious. Is there any choice at this time?
Mu nodded slightly, fluttered his wings and flew over the heads of several people, "If there is anything unusual, don't resist." As he said this, pieces of light fell from his body like fireworks, and the light was like a curtain, gradually gathering around the six people.
The noise around them seemed to be quieter, and everyone felt as if they were cut off from their five senses. The lights and sounds around them were gradually fading away.
"Hurry up, I won't last long." Mu's voice came, showing some difficulty.
"Let's go." Wu Gen picked up the holly bird, so that six people and one bird would occupy less space, and took the lead towards the stone room.
There is no way out, only forward.
