It should have been noon when the few people left Ten Thousand Snakes Valley, and they spent a lot of time from entering the maze, to crossing the weak water, to experiencing the thunder. Even if it was not midnight, they should have arrived. Around Hai hour.
But since the clouds that brought the thunder dispersed, the sky showed no sign of getting darker. All he could see was a twitching white patch above his head, as if a crumpled piece of paper had been flattened.
However, the further they walked toward the center, the more darkness gathered on the ground. At the end, when they looked around, there was not an inch of land that was not affected by the thunder.
The white above the head is dazzlingly white, and the black under the feet is intensely black. The contrast between the two is strong, just like the two poles of yin and yang, encompassing everything in the world.
Although Lin Zidai did not have a pure fire pot to guide the direction, he was a disciple of Qi Medicine after all. He felt extremely strongly about the changes in Zhengqi here, and finally stopped somewhere on the flat ground.
"The secret room should be here..." Lin Zidai released Zhengqi to feel the surrounding situation, and found that the Zhengqi arrays all around were pointing in the direction where they were, and murmured to himself.
When Lu Chun heard this, he turned around and looked around, and found that he didn't even see many bricks, let alone the secret room. Moreover, the top of his head was still as white as before. If the Qi Medical Sect's secret room was built in the sky, it would be impossible for them to not notice it on the road.
Just when Lu Chun was confused, he heard Jia Liehu suddenly exclaimed: "Sir, brother Lu Chun! Look, is there something over there?"
The two of them looked towards where Jia Lihu was pointing and saw a faint bulge on the flat black ground. It's just because this bulge is dim in color and almost blends in with the ground, so it's not easily noticeable. It was only after the falcon gave a few hoarse reminders that Orion Jia realized something was wrong.
They winked at each other, then each raised their bamboo knives, twisted their silver needles, and approached that place. Although Lu Chun had recovered his strength, he was still unable to use the Unearth Technique. In order not to cause trouble for the two of them, he could only Stayed next to the Falcon.
Jia Orion's sharp eyes saw the outline of the dark mass on the ground at a glance, and his tone suddenly became nervous: "Sir, that thing...why does it seem to be a person..."
Lin Zidai could only tell that this thing was dead, otherwise how could he not be able to detect it with his ability? Hearing Jia Lihu's words, a suspicion suddenly appeared in his heart. This was the forbidden area of Qi Medical Sect. Why would there be an extra person here for no reason?
When he came nearby, he found that what Jia Lihu said was indeed true. The thing in front of him was a real person, just a dead man whose appearance was charred and black.
Especially when the two of them looked around the man's back and looked forward, they discovered that there was something lying in front of the corpse on the ground. This thing was very familiar to them. It was the fire pot! It's just that the black light in the eight-petal lotus of this pure fire pot has disappeared.
Without the black "lotus heart" as a foil, the eight lotus petals are slightly pale, as if a lotus has just bloomed and is ready to wither at any time.
"Jing Huo Kettle? Sir, could it be that...this corpse is that fake old man?" The moment Jia Lihu saw the Jing Huo Kettle again, he felt a little nostalgic, and for a moment he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"What? The old man is dead? Is there such a good thing?"
Lu Chun was originally worried that the wolf Qianxun would suddenly appear out of nowhere and know about his life. He had been worried, but after hearing this, his face lit up with joy and he ran over in a few steps.
When he came closer, he saw the pure fire pot on the ground at a glance, and hurriedly leaned down and took it in his hand. But compared with the previous heaviness, the Jinghuo pot in front of him was much lighter. He put it to his ear and shook it, only to feel that the jade pot was empty and rustling.
"That's it..." Lin Zidai felt the changes in the Jinghuo Kettle, and his expression suddenly dawned.
"Stupid Lin, what's going on?" Lu Chun asked in confusion when he saw Lin Zidai's expression was different.
Lin Zidai frowned and said calmly: "At first, I thought this situation was caused by Wolf Qianxun destroying the magic circle and attracting the thunder of the extreme sun. Now it seems that I thought too simply..."
"Although Lang Qianxun has a pure fire pot in his hand, which can guide him through the Zhengqi magic circle, he is not a Qi doctor after all. Even if he finds the secret room, there is no way to reach it. Now it seems that he is planning to forcibly He used the Zheng Qi in the Pure Fire Pot to communicate with the source of Zheng Qi in the secret room, but it was a pity that he was eager for success and leaked all the Zheng Qi in the Pure Fire Pot, which triggered the Divine Tribulation Thunder!"
"Heavenly Tribulation Divine Thunder?" Lu Chun felt fresh when he heard a new name again, but the word "Heavenly Tribulation" made him feel that the matter was getting serious. Then, he suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in shock: "Could this Heavenly Tribulation Divine Thunder be..."
"Yes, it was the culprit that made Qi Medical Sect disappear out of thin air." Lin Zidai said, looking at the direction they came from in a daze, "It seems that Wolf Qianxun was mistaken for the Heavenly Tribulation Divine Thunder. Qi Medical disciple, that’s why we encountered accidents…”
"That being said, I always feel like something is wrong..." Lu Chun didn't notice that Lin Zidai's expression was wrong, but was lost in thought.
"I remember you said before that your Qi Medical Sect was uprooted and disappeared in the thunder, but why is the body of Lang Qianxun left here? Is it because he is not a Qi Medical Sect? Impossible... Absolutely impossible..." Lu Chun's head shook like a rattle.
"But brother Lu Chun, that guy obviously brought this Jinghuo pot. Since the Jinghuo pot and the body are here now, is there anything else to be suspicious of?" Jia Liehu looked confused and didn't understand Lu Chun at all. Why is Jun so suspicious?
"I really can't tell. Anyway, my intuition tells me that something must be wrong. My intuition is not wrong..." Lu Chun kept looking at the charred corpse, and the more he looked at it, the more uneasy he felt.
"Brother Lu, don't worry. I have confirmed that there is no trace of life in this corpse. You don't have to worry about him faking his death." Lin Zidai also recovered from his absence and comforted him with a smile.
"That's the best..." Although Lu Chun said this, he couldn't help but look at the scorched figure on the ground a few more times.
Just as he was about to leave this unlucky place, he subconsciously looked in the direction the corpse was facing, and saw a palm-sized black ring about ten feet in front of the corpse.
"Huh? What is this?"
Lu Chun was curious, and without much thought, he leaned down to pick it up in his hands. But he had just taken the ring, and he felt that it was quite weighty, so he secretly increased his strength.
"Bang, click, click..."
Lin Zidai was about to return to the original place to find the secret room, but suddenly he heard a crashing sound under his feet, and then there was a crisp sound of a mechanism. He turned around and saw that Lu Chun was holding a black hanging ring leading to the ground in his hand. He stared dumbfounded at a simple stone door measuring two feet square that appeared next to him.
"This...what is this?" Lu Chun was stunned by the situation in front of him, and then couldn't help but said to himself: "Why should I say it again?"
The moment Lin Zidai saw Shimen, his face was filled with surprise: "Brother Lu is truly a treasure man. You found the entrance to the secret room easily!"
The stone gate that appeared in front of several people did not exist independently, but emerged from the ground in the shape of half a triangle. There is a slope behind the stone door, and it can be seen that it should be the underground space leading here.
Moreover, the structure behind this stone door is closely connected to the ground, and there is no gap at all, as if it was created by heaven and earth.
"You said this is the entrance to the secret room. Isn't that too casual?" Lu Chun grinned, thinking that there was an extra ring on the bare ground for no reason, and anyone with a discerning eye would notice it.
He looked down and suddenly discovered that there was an imperceptible groove under the hanging ring. It was only because the groove was covered by the hanging ring that the color below was not darkened by the thunder, but exuded a kind of Indigo sheen. If I hadn't discovered this fluorescence from just the right angle, this mechanism would have been difficult to detect.
Lu Chun saw that the stone door did not fall after he took his hand away, so he completely put down the hanging ring, and then watched helplessly as the hanging ring merged seamlessly into the ground and disappeared before his eyes.
Although the secret room has appeared, now there is a problem before them.
They want to leave here, and now there are only two ways to rely on it, and one of them is to let the hunting falcon take them away from here.
However, the Falcon's injuries were not stable, and it was already a bit unbearable to carry two people with it. If something happens to it above the weak water, it can only lead them into a desperate situation. Although the Falcon will obey Jia Lihu's orders ten thousand times, they cannot afford this eventuality, so this method cannot be implemented unless they are desperate.
So now there is only the second method left, which is to clean the fire pot. It's just that the positive energy in this pure fire pot has been exhausted. If you want to ignite it to point out the way out, you must fill it with positive energy.
Although Lin Zidai is a disciple of Qi Medicine, even if he drains the Zheng Qi in his body and pours it into the Pure Fire Pot, it will only be a drop in the ocean, and the effect will be minimal. Therefore, if you want the Jinghuo Kettle to return to normal, you can only open the secret room in front of you and find the source of Zhengqi.
But if they want to open the secret room, Lin Zidai has to reveal his aura as a disciple of Qi Medicine, which will inevitably trigger the thunder of the Heavenly Tribulation God again, leaving them with nowhere to hide or hide, and they can only be buried in the Heavenly Tribulation God. Among the thunder.
Although it is possible to use abnormal means to open the secret room with their ability, if they accidentally destroy the connection of the surrounding Zhengqi magic circle, they are afraid that thunder will come down to replenish the Zhengqi magic circle, so they still To bathe in the thunder of the extreme sun.
If you don't open the stone door of the secret room, you will be trapped here, which is a dead end; if you open the stone door of the secret room, you will be baptized by thunder, and you will be dead. The difference is that the latter provides them with two opportunities to choose freely, allowing them to decide whether they want to be turned into scorched earth under the thunder of the heavenly tribulation, or turn into dead souls under the thunder of Zhengqi...
