When the apocalypse first came, Huo Ye and the others were training in the wild. The area was deserted and they didn't even have a bunker to cover their bodies. They could only resist the monster attacks with their flesh and blood.
Fortunately, they worked as a team. Although they suffered some damage, they finally withstood waves of monster attacks. The team gained a lot and got many high-quality exercise books, weapons and protective gear.
In the early days of the apocalypse, there was abundant spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The Huo Ye team who carried it out in an open-air environment had always been a big step ahead of ordinary people in terms of cultivation level.
The four people sent by Huo Ye to look for Ning Qingyun, Zhang Shouyi, Wang Yang, Tian Zhen, and Yang Ping, were all very capable figures in the team. They were all cultivators at the top of the Chongmai Realm before entering the Cloud and Mist Secret Realm. After entering the secret realm, with the help of With the rich spiritual energy in the secret realm, the four of them broke through the realm one after another and entered the Qi Bridge Realm, taking their strength even further.
Ning Qingyun rescued Wang Yang and others back to the tree hole maze. Except for Wang Yang who was seriously injured due to snake venom and suffered relatively heavy physical damage, the other people's injuries were relatively minor and they could recover in a day or two.
While the four of them were recovering from their injuries, Ning Qingyun went to the Nine-Headed Monster Snake's territory several times to investigate the situation. Originally, the quagmire in the Nine-Headed Monster Snake's territory only appeared when the monster snake fought with the enemy, and was used as a trap to assist the attack. It is also convenient for the nine-headed monster snake to lure some prey to the bait, so as to achieve the purpose of hunting.
Only this time, the quagmire never disappeared. Ning Qingyun observed several times and found that the quagmire always existed.
Does this mean that the strange snake is seriously injured and needs to use this quagmire to prevent the enemy from approaching?
He recalled the rumbling sound coming from the underground of the stone statues when he was escaping that day. At that time, he sensed the danger was coming and ran away in a hurry. Now he thought, could it be that the underground palace he had been looking for had opened? According to his previous speculation, the underground palace should be in that area.
The nine-headed monster snake should usually be hidden in the underground palace. This time, the nine-headed monster snake's vitality was severely damaged and it may not be able to recover in a short time. This is the best time to visit the underground palace.
Somehow, Ning Qingyun always felt that there was something very important to him in the underground palace, and he had to go there no matter what.
When Ning Qingyun mentioned his plan to visit the underground palace, Wang Yang took the lead in raising objections, believing that it was not appropriate to take the risk.
Ning Qingyun must go, and his attitude is firm and cannot be refuted. But whether the four of them want to go or not, Ning Qingyun lets them choose by themselves and does not force them.
The purpose of the four of them coming in was to protect Ning Qingyun. How could he be allowed to take risks alone?
Although the four of them wanted to go with Ning Qingyun, Wang Yang's body had not fully recovered yet, so Ning Qingyun forcefully asked him to stay, and the other three accompanied him to visit the underground palace.
Arriving at the territory of the Hydra, the four of them each held a bamboo raft in their hands. This time, the quagmire has always existed, rather than appearing suddenly. Ning Qingyun and the others made sufficient preparations before coming. There is a kind of spotted flower bamboo growing in the secret realm. It is hollow, light, strong and tough, and is very suitable for making bamboo rafts.
The four of Ning Qingyun each held a bamboo raft, and after a lot of hard work, they finally arrived at the stone statue area.
The tall stone statues turned upside down and sank into the quagmire, leaving only stone pillars exposed.
In the center of the stone statue area, a square hole appeared, like a deep well, which looked mysterious and dangerous.
Ning Qingyun and the others hid the bamboo rafts under the mud, and then stepped on the stone pillars to reach the cave step by step.
Ning Qingyun set up a formation around the cave. With the cover of this formation, the cave would not be easily discovered.
There are some narrow and steep steps under the cave that are almost vertical to the ground. The four people exchanged glances with each other, and then they decided to slide down with the help of ropes.
The landing process went smoothly and there was no attack.
The rope was thirty meters long. They descended two-thirds of the length to the bottom. Below was a hard and flat stone ground, surrounded by solid walls, forming a square and narrow space. The west side There are many random raised stones on the walls.
"Could these stones be some kind of mechanism?" Zhang Shouyi guessed.
"Well, this is indeed a mechanism. You all stay back." Ning Qingyun pushed the other three people aside and began to study the location of these stones.
Ning Qingyun had the formation book in hand, and after some deductions, he quickly opened the hidden stone door.
"If nothing else happens, the nine-headed monster snake is hiding here. After entering, everyone should be careful and follow the large army closely and don't get separated." Ning Qingyun warned.
Several people nodded in agreement.
"Crack, click, click." There was a heavy sound of the stone door moving on the west wall, and a stone door that was as tall as one person opened.
The four people filed in. Behind the stone door were the steps leading underground. The steps were wide and gentle. After walking about a hundred steps, they came to an open place.
"Wow, what kind of place is this? This stone pillar is so tall. What kind of creature is carved on it? It looks so strange!" Tian Zhen said in amazement as he looked at the scene in front of him.
This place looks like a school ground, with a flat and open space in the middle, surrounded by many round stone pillars. Some strangely shaped biological patterns are carved on the pillars, which are detailed and lifelike.
"Don't move." Ning Qingyun saw Tian Zhen curiously reaching out to touch the patterns carved on the stone pillars, and quickly stopped him.
"Don't touch things here. I'll study them first. It's best not to..." Ning Qingyun was talking when his foot slipped and a stone on the ground suddenly sank. "Ah", Ning Qingyun didn't He screamed consciously and fell straight down.
"Seventh Young Master!" "Boss!" The shouts of Tian Zhen and others could still be heard in Ning Qingyun's ears. He hurriedly activated the spiritual energy in his body, used the light body technique he had practiced, adjusted his descending posture, and was about to fall to the bottom. He rolled his body into a ball shape, then flipped in the air, and immediately landed firmly on the ground with his feet.
"I told you to go down quickly. You had to say wait. Why wait? Look, there is no hole now and you can't pry it open. What can you do?" Zhang Shouyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Di Liu Liu wandered around and complained to Yang Ping.
"I didn't expect that this hole would disappear so quickly. If you jumped down just now, the boss might not be able to stand firm yet. You have to hit the boss. If the boss is crushed, you will have to pay compensation." Can you afford it?" Yang Ping said aggrievedly and annoyed.
