On the Ghost Crying Plain, every time the wind blows, various weird whining sounds will be emitted from the jagged stone forest. Especially at night, there are thunder and lightning in the sky, and there are ghosts crying on the ground, which always gives people a creepy feeling.
However, when Qu Wuming used the "Falling Star" orb to go deep into the underground of the Ghost Crying Field, he found that the ghostly crying sound on the ground was not weakened at all. It took a moment to discover the mystery.
It turned out that there were many hollow holes in those strange rocks, and it was through these holes that the whimpers were transmitted deep into the ground.
Under the Guimingyuan, the further down you go, the larger the stones with holes become, and the stones become denser. After reaching five feet underground, there is no trace of soil left, and only A stone with many holes and gaps.
Not knowing exactly how such a geological environment was formed, Qu Wuming wandered aimlessly underground for several hours, but he never found any different mineral deposits underground.
It seems that there is only this kind of stone in the underground of Gui Mingyuan.
It's not easy to travel underground like this. Almost 80% of the cracks and holes in those stones are filled with water, and the lower you go, the higher the temperature.
Therefore, the speed of earth escape here cannot be increased at all. Not only must it overcome the obstacles of underground water everywhere, but it must also resist the extremely high pressure of high-temperature water vapor enclosed in some confined spaces.
Qu Wuming also tried to go deeper underground in several places, but he was forced to retreat soon after by the high temperature and high pressure water vapor below.
With Qu Wuming's strength, if this was on flat ground, it would not be impossible to forcefully go deep into it. However, when Qu Wuming moved dozens of feet underground, he would have to rely on the "Falling Star" orb to succeed every time he moved an inch. And in such an environment, the "Falling Star" orb consumes a huge amount of mana every moment. If it encounters a large spurt of high-temperature water, it will be no less powerful than resisting the late stage of God Transformation. The monk's full blow.
After Qu Wuming had been sneaking underground for several hours, he had already thought about leaving the underground and flying on the ground again.
However, before Qu Wuming could return to the ground, he suddenly seemed to find a thick "wall" like a stone wall not far ahead through the induction of the "falling star" orb.
The wall was like a part of a huge eggshell. Although the surface was uneven and pitted, it was essentially different from the surrounding stones in the ground. The texture of the "stone wall" seemed to be very dense, without any bubbles or cracks inside. , naturally there is no underground water flow that can be seen everywhere.
Behind the "stone wall", it seems that there is a huge cavity that can be vaguely sensed. Because there is a "stone wall" more than two feet thick, it is not clear what is in the cavity for a while.
Qu Wuming hurriedly activated the "Falling Star" orb and carefully came to the vicinity of the stone wall. As the light above the orb's barrier flashed, the spherical barrier quickly submerged quietly into the stone wall.
Wave……
After a few breaths, the "Falling Star" orb penetrated the stone wall and fell into an empty cave.
What surprised Qu Wuming was that the cave was not completely dark.
There are actually some blue-purple flowers growing on the cave wall, emitting a faint light, illuminating the surrounding area with a faint blue.
The smallest flowers are about the size of a fist, and the larger ones are no more than a foot. There seems to be only a five-petal calyx underneath the blue-purple petals, spread out on the stone wall like a five-pointed star. There are no other stems and leaves below the calyx, only many slender root-like things pierced into the stone wall.
Dots of blue-purple flowers are dotted on the stone wall like stars, making the stone wall in the distance really look like a starry sky, as real as an illusion.
Looking further into the depths of the cave, it was vague and indistinct. It seemed that the cave was part of a wide and winding passage that turned a corner dozens of feet away and led nowhere.
Qu Wuming carefully sensed it for a moment with the power of his spiritual consciousness, and found that there seemed to be no other living things in the cave except those blue-purple luminous flowers. He twisted his hand and used two or three light balls for lighting to float in the cave. A few feet away, the earth escape barrier of the "Falling Star" orb was put away, and instead a light yellow body protection barrier was set up, the escape light was set up, and it slowly flew towards the turning side of the cave.
When Qu Wuming entered the cave, the diameter of the cave was about three feet. When he turned the corner, he found that the diameter of the cave had suddenly shrunk and turned deeper into the ground.
Continuing to descend along the cave, after passing several large but smooth turns, the cave in front of Qu Wuming has become so narrow that it is only as thick as a water tank, like a winding pipe. Qu Wuming used the power of his spiritual consciousness to open a path in front of him and walked through the cave. He felt like a mouse crawling along a pipe.
I don't know how far I flew forward, but the cave became wider again. At this time, the blue-purple flowers on the cave wall were no longer there, replaced by countless white crystals intertwined horizontally and vertically.
Under the light of Qu Wuming's condensed light ball, the crystals reflected colorful lights, intertwined with each other, and made the nearby cave space shine like a dream world.
Qu Wuming carefully looked at the crystals around him and found that they were just ordinary crystals, but they might have grown for a long time. Many of them had grown thicker than the pillars of the palace, and they were growing in a staggered pattern, which was originally supposed to be The very spacious cave became winding and difficult to navigate.
Fortunately, Qu Wuming was not an ordinary person. He did not need to climb and walk with bare hands. Instead, he flew directly through the gap between the crystals, and soon found a unique crystal at the other end of the cave.
It was a pale yellow crystal about the thickness of a thumb, growing quietly at the foot of a huge crystal column.
In the center of the crystal, two or three almost transparent filaments that are only slightly thicker than a hair can be vaguely seen.
"Soul-Calming Crystal!" Qu Wuming's face was filled with joy. He quickly looked at the root of the Soul-Calming Crystal. Only then did he notice that the root of the Soul-Calming Crystal was actually a protruding piece growing on the dark rock wall. On dark golden rock.
"There must be something weird about this rock." Qu Wuming raised his hand and gently touched the dark golden rock. The tentacles were cold and hard, and seemed to be no different from ordinary rocks. However, when Qu Wuming pinched the rock, he wanted to use more force. When he broke it off, he found that with his current strength, it took a lot of effort to break it off.
This level of hardness is probably not inferior to some ordinary magic weapons!
Now that the first piece has been found, it means it is possible to find the second piece!
Qu Wuming put away the soul-suppressing crystal and scanned the surrounding cave walls, but found nothing new. He quickly followed a passage about ten feet in diameter at the bottom of the cave and explored deeper into the cave. go……
————
I don’t know exactly where I am at this time and how deep underground I am.
Qu Wuming only knew that the temperature in the cave at this time had actually become extremely high.
Although protected by the barrier formed by the "Falling Star" orb, Qu Wuming could still feel that the surrounding air was extremely hot and humid, and finally had to build another barrier to isolate water vapor within the barrier of the "Falling Star" orb. The enchantment with the heat made me feel a little more comfortable.
Although the environment seems to be gradually getting worse, the probability of soul-suppressing crystals appearing in the cave has increased significantly.
In less than an hour, Qu Wuming has found three more soul-soothing crystals. Although the size is almost the same as the first one, it makes Qu Wuming more confident in finding more soul-soothing crystals.
However, just when Qu Wuming climbed into a new cave with full confidence, he was surprised to find that there was no other exit at the back of the cave!
Qu Wuming searched carefully for a long time, confirming that there was really no other exit here, and there was no soul-suppressing crystal. He hurriedly used the power of the "Falling Star" orb to explore the outside of the cave, searching almost dozens of feet of space around it. Finally, the existence of another stone wall was detected at a certain corner.
Qu Wuming was overjoyed and hurriedly activated the "falling star" orb to escape out of the cave.
The moment the barrier of the "Falling Star" orb left the cave wall, Qu Wuming suddenly felt a huge pressure coming from outside the barrier, and in an instant the barrier almost collapsed!
Under the squeezing of that huge force, even Qu Wuming's body was squeezed so hard that it was almost impossible to move, and the joints all over his body crackled. If Qu Wuming hadn't immediately tensed up his muscles and activated his magic power to resist, , I am afraid that I will be squeezed and lose the ability to move immediately!
The mana in Qu Wuming's body was running wildly, and he was able to stabilize the world condensed by the "falling star" orb before it collapsed. Then he took a long breath and secretly wiped his sweat.
Through the "Falling Star" orb, Qu Wuming slowly escaped towards the stone wall of another cave while surveying the surrounding environment.
The underground outside the stone wall here is no longer completely the same rock full of holes and cracks as before, but is in a state that seems to be between hard rock and liquid rock.
Although there is still a certain distance from the magma state, the rocks here have begun to show a dark red color. Although they are still solid, they have become somewhat soft, as if they are soft clay that has been mixed with a large amount of water. generally.
It's just that deep underground, even though the softness of the rock structure is noticed, it does not affect the huge pressure squeezing from all directions. It can be said that there is a perfect balance between hardness and softness, so that the "falling star" orb moves in it. It has also become very difficult, almost every foot of distance consumed consumes a lot of mana.
In the short distance of more than ten feet, Qu Wuming had to consume nearly 30% of his mana before finally successfully entering another stone wall.
When he finally passed through the stone wall and entered another cave, Qu Wuming couldn't think of anything else and hurriedly released Qu Siqiu, letting her transform into a golden spirit body and enter the cave first for him. After some investigation and searching for the soul-suppressing crystal, Qu Wuming swallowed the pill to restore his mana, followed slowly, and took the time to restore his mana.
In this way, the two of them continued to explore forward in the cave, first and then later, one quickly and the other slowly.
After about a stick of incense, Qu Wuming came to a fork in the road. In front of him were two passages, one on the left and one on the right.
Qu Siqiu had previously reported the situation here to Qu Wuming through the power of her spiritual consciousness, and she had already walked into the passage on the right. Qu Wuming thought for a moment and flew into the passage on the left.
Although it is still very hot in this cave, it is not as humid as the previous cave. The crystals on the stone walls inside the cave are also very different from the previous one. There seem to be few crystals here that are thicker than pillars. They are almost all clusters of crystals like blooming flowers, covering every inch of the stone wall. The longest crystal among them is only a foot long. Xu long and short.
The color of the crystals here is basically light pink. Occasionally, there will be some bright red like blood, which is very beautiful under the light of Qu Wuming's condensed light ball. Fortunately, Qu Wuming knew that these red crystals were of no use, so he couldn't help but pick a dozen of them and put them in his Zifu space.
As for the soul-suppressing crystal, it doesn't seem to exist at all in this cave. The two of them searched in the cave for nearly an hour, but could not find even one the size of a pinhead...
Just when Qu Wuming thought it was a foregone conclusion that he would not gain anything in this cave, after turning around a long and narrow passage, he suddenly froze there...
