Qu Wuming slashed a strange insect away with his sword and shouted, "It's a strange sandworm! Run away to the cave!"
As he said that, he took Han Ling'er's hand and ran straight to the circular hole.
At this time, there were hundreds of alien sandworms pouring into the cave, and they were so dense that they almost submerged the cave entrance. How could Hu Baye, Mo Heng, and Hou Jinbo dare to stay at this time? In front of them, everyone picked up their things and ran away.
"Tong Xiangyu, this way!!!"
Qu Wuming sent Han Ling'er into the cave entrance, turned around and killed him without hesitation, until he got Tong Xiangyu over, and then jumped into the cave...
When Qu Wuming pulled Tong Xiangyu into the cave entrance, the sandworms immediately rushed over following their aura.
However, what is surprising is that when the sandworms rushed to the entrance of the cave, they stopped one after another, as if they smelled the smell that frightened them, and did not dare to take a step forward.
Qu Wuming and Tong Xiangyu didn't dare to stay, so they turned and walked deeper into the cave.
"What happened up there? Are you okay?" Qu Wuming asked with concern when he saw that Tong Xiangyu's clothes were torn and she was in a very embarrassed state.
"Not long ago, there was a sudden earthquake in the ground." Tong Xiangyu thought of the previous situation and still felt a lingering fear in her heart. "Then I heard patches of rustling coming from the ground around me. When I looked again, there were already unknown sounds. Several kinds of sandworms emerged from the ground. After the sand camel beasts tied to the outside were surrounded by those sandworms, they were chewed up to their skeletons in just two or three breaths. My two cooks and Wei Yixian's disciple was also knocked down and eaten by sandworms. If I hadn't happened to be at the entrance of the cave at the time and got into the cave immediately, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape."
"At the time you mentioned, I am afraid that our underground activities have disturbed those sandworms." Qu Wuming said, "However, ordinary sandworms are only an inch long and only eat some trees and grass leaves. These sandworms actually Growing so big, I'm afraid it mutated due to some special influence."
The two of them walked about ten feet while they were talking, and their eyes suddenly became brighter.
"There is actually an underground city here?!" Tong Xiangyu said in surprise.
Qu Wuming looked at the scene in front of him and was equally shocked.
What comes into view is a huge spherical space, with a black rock wall outside, buckling on the ground like a round eggshell.
The ground is also in a perfect arc shape, with a huge city standing in the middle of the ground.
The black rock walls and the rocks on the ground are pitted and uneven. In the gaps between the rocks, there are fist-sized transparent crystals like crystals. They emit a soft milky white light, lighting up the entire underground space like a sky filled with stars. .
Although the light is not bright, it is comparable to the darkness of a full moon and is enough for people to see many things clearly.
At this time, Hu Baye, Mo Heng, Han Ling'er and others had arrived at the entrance of the huge city in the middle and were stopping to watch. Wei Yixian was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.
Qu Wuming and Tong Xiangyu followed, looking at the giant city opposite with surprised expressions.
The huge city is like a dormant giant beast, lying quietly in the middle of the cave. The tall city gate and the two huge lanterns hanging on the city wall are like the face of this giant beast, looking at Qu indifferently. Wuming et al.
The blue-grey city wall is about four feet high and extends to the left and right. The length of this wall alone is probably more than five or six miles. In this slightly dark underground space, there is an endless sight. Feel.
Above the city gate, there is a huge plaque with two powerful characters written on it. Tong Xiangyu looked at it for a long time, but found that she didn't recognize it.
"Dongwei!" Qu Wuming looked at the plaque and said, "The words on it are not used in the Shifang Realm, but in the True Immortal Realm. I have seen it in an ancient book."
"Is it possible that this Dongwei City fell here from the True Immortal Realm?" Ding Xian asked after hearing this, and his eyes looking at the city became a little hot.
"It's hard to say, but it's possible." Qu Wuming said.
"I saw Wei Yixian had already gone in before." Han Ling'er pointed to the door that had opened a gap and said, "Then let's go in and have a look too!"
"Now there is no way out, we can only go in." Hu Baye drew out his long knife and stepped forward, "Maybe there are some treasures from the Immortal Family that can get us out safely!"
"Let's go! Everyone, be more careful!" Qu Wuming reminded, "Things in the true immortal world may kill us if they have even a little bit of power left behind. Don't touch the things inside once you get in!"
…
The group of people walked slowly into the city, and gradually felt as if they were back on the ground, in a foreign capital.
The streets in the city are spacious, neat and well-proportioned. Tall trees are planted on the streets, and rows of street lamps with simple shapes stand on them. The houses on both sides of the road include shops, restaurants, teahouses and houses. The architectural style is similar to that of Shifang. The styles of the world are very different and have a unique charm.
However, on the empty streets, flags and banners are still there, and signboards are still there, but what is missing is life.
The tall trees have turned black and look like charcoal, as if they have been dead for countless years. The whole city is full of lifelessness, and many of the houses along the roads are dilapidated.
"When this place gets a new look, it will definitely look like an immortal." Taoist Ding Xian held a sword in one hand and stroked his beard with the other and sighed, "It seems that even in the real immortal world, there are still secular people living."
Mo Heng said from the side: "Look at the weather in this city, it far exceeds most cities in the Eastern Continent, and this is just a small town with a radius of several miles! The true fairyland is really what people yearn for!"
"Look there! Mr. Qu, do you see what's written on it?" Hu Baye raised his finger and pointed to the plaque at the door of a three-story pavilion not far ahead and said.
"Wanbao Pavilion!" Qu Wuming said with a smile after seeing it, "It seems that there is no new idea in naming the name of this real immortal world! There are not hundreds but dozens of families here called Wanbao Pavilion, right?"
"Wouldn't it be possible to have some treasures?" Hearing this, Master Hu Ba suddenly became interested.
"It's better not to touch the things inside!" Qu Wuming said, "This city is lifeless. Everything is there but there is no body. I'm afraid the residents in the city have suffered a very strange and devastating blow."
"Yeah, I understand." Hu Baye nodded and said, "I'll go in and take a look. Nothing is moving!"
With that said, Hu Baye stepped forward and gently pushed the door open with the long knife in his hand.
The door of the store was gently pushed open by a long knife, making a harsh friction sound. Hu Baye was so frightened that he took a few steps back and made way for the front door. After a while, he saw that everything was normal and there was no colorful light coming out of it. Something like that, and then cautiously stepped forward.
"Oh my god..." Mr. Hu Ba looked into the room and couldn't help but open his mouth and exclaimed.
Everyone followed and took a closer look, and saw that the space in the room was actually quite large, seemingly dozens of feet in diameter - the entire room turned out to be a treasure of space!
I saw this room - in fact, it can be regarded as a palace. The interior furnishings are extremely elegant. Rows of simple and elegant shelves display various vases, ornaments, sculptures, and many crystal objects. The counter is filled with all kinds of jades, jewelry, and jewelry. The jewelry is so dazzling that it is dizzying to see.
When everyone walked inside, they felt as if they were in a royal treasure house. There were many things inside. Even cultivators such as Qu Wuming and Han Ling'er felt a little excited after seeing them. If Qu Wuming hadn't warned him first, everyone would have been cautious. The person inside may have already pocketed the contents.
Hu Baye was even more dazzled at this moment. Walking to a counter, he saw that the layer of crystal covering the counter was actually open. Hu Baye couldn't help but swallowed and looked around. He saw that everyone had dispersed and no one noticed that he was doing this. He reached out and picked up a red gem the size of a duck egg from the counter.
Just as Hu Baye was about to put the gem in his arms, a burst of black smoke suddenly spurted out from under the counter, and it hit Hu Baye's lower abdomen with a pop.
Hu Baye trembled in fright, and the gem dropped from his hand and hit the counter, knocking down a row of small shelves inside.
But the black smoke seemed to be alive, spreading along the lower abdomen in a matter of breaths, and soon it completely wrapped up Mr. Hu Ba. Hu Baye suddenly felt as if his whole body was imprisoned by the layer of black smoke, unable to move at all.
Everyone was looking around when they heard a scream from Mr. Hu Ba. They turned around and saw the red gem in Mr. Hu's hand falling, and a layer of black energy had completely enveloped Mr. Hu.
"Master Hu Ba!" Hou Jinbo just shouted, and Master Hu Ba was already frozen there motionless.
"Quick...quick, save me!" Hu Baye struggled to squeeze out a few words from his throat.
Qu Wuming and others came closer, but no one dared to step forward and take action.
"Help, help, life..." Hu Baye felt the layer of black smoke wrapping around his body getting tighter and tighter, as if it was about to crush him.
"Is there any mechanism?" Tong Xiangyu looked around the counter, but didn't see any knobs or anything like that.
"Ah, uh, uh..." Hu Baye made a few intermittent sounds in his throat, and his whole body shrank in size in the black smoke.
The next moment, everyone seemed to hear a soft bang.
The layer of black smoke surrounding Hu Baye's body penetrated into Hu Baye's body.
The next moment, Hu Baye and the clothes on his body turned into a human-shaped black smoke, and then dispersed.
"There should be anti-theft mechanisms on these counters. Please don't touch the things inside!" Qu Wuming said in a deep voice, "Quickly retreat, don't go there!"
Everyone quietly exited the room with lingering fear, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, and no longer dared to take or touch anything here.
…
No one dared to open the door and check the houses on the street, so they had no choice but to continue walking along the main road in the city.
Looking at the shops being left behind, through the partially closed doors and windows, one can vaguely see many rare-looking artifacts, which would probably be priceless treasures in the Shifang Realm!
However, with Hu Baye's lessons learned from the past, everyone no longer dared to reach out easily even if they were unwilling to do so.
After walking for a long time, we gradually left this prosperous area, and what appeared in front of everyone again were mansions with high gates and courtyards...
