Get into the narrow hole and follow the black and smelly passage.
Soon, Lu Zhong entered the mine tunnel.
As he had seen before, the size of the mine tunnel was ten feet square, and the floor was made of piled stones. There were two four-foot-wide two-way tracks in the middle. The rails were all forged from fine iron. The craftsmanship of the Ancient Spirit Tribe was obvious. Not bad, even after a long time, there is only a little rust on the surface.
There were many four-wheeled vehicles lying scattered next to them, which were obviously mine carts used to transport gangue.
From the structure of the mine tunnel, we can see the prosperity of the Ancient Spirit Clan in the past.
But now, it's just a tomb.
"Bang!"
I don't know what happened, but it fell down into the deep well next to the passage.
The sound of huge metal collisions echoed along the deep well and reached very far away.
"I, I just..." Huang Yan'er opened her mouth, showed a piece of silver cake in her hand, and defended herself: "I just saw this and wanted to pick it up and take a look."
"Dai Yin? You really know your stuff!"
Hong Gu drew out her flying sword, put it on alert, and said as she moved.
Lu Zhong didn't look at the silver piece. Instead, his eyes fell on Huang Yan'er's feet, where a carbonized corpse was lying.
Judging from its body shape, it does not look like a human race. Combined with the charred broken bones behind it, it looks like a winged human race, which is the second generation overlord race in the Xiaoling World after the Ancient Spirit Tribe.
Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at Huang Yan'er and reminded:
"This piece of silver has a lot of black energy wrapped around it. It's probably not a good thing."
A piece of valuable silver cake was lying like this at the entrance of the cave. The Zixia Sect monks who later entered the mine tunnel completely ignored it. No matter how you looked at this matter, it was wrong.
"Second brother, put down that silver cake!" Mei Shumo heard this and said after pondering for a while.
Hearing this, Huang Yan'er showed an incredulous expression and shouted loudly: "What? Brother, this is a Daiyin cake. It is a small piece. It can be sold for at least ten thousand spiritual stones. This is what we worked hard for before." It takes a month to earn spiritual stones!”
"No, there's nothing you can say!"
He stuffed the silver cake into his arms and protected it tightly with his broken arm.
Such abnormal behavior made others realize that something was wrong.
No matter how bad Huang Huan'er is, he is still a master of pill formation. His character is not to be said to be as solid as a rock, but at least it has been through many tests and he will never be easily deceived by money.
"There's something wrong with that silver cake!" Hong Gu said with a change of expression.
Hearing this, Mei Shumo's expression also changed. He hurriedly walked to Huang Yan'er and almost ordered: "Second brother, listen to the elder brother's advice and put down the silver cake immediately!"
"No, my broken arm relied on it to be reborn. No one, no one can take it away from me!" Huang Yan'er's voice was almost crazy. Along with this hysterical shouting, a black air came from The waves surged in his arms, covering his body in two or three strokes, and his whole body was instantly overflowing with billowing black energy.
"Second brother!"
"Get out of the way!" Lu Zhong shouted,
As he breathed, a purple fireball condensed at his fingertips, only the size of a soybean. Then after thinking about it, he activated the Thunder Seal of the Sea of Consciousness, wrapping several wisps of purple thunder around it to form a thunder fireball.
A flick of the finger.
The ball turned into purple light and hit Huang Temple instantly.
"Ah ah ah!" A shrill scream came from the mouths of Huang Maner and the charred corpse on the ground.
The movements of the two were synchronized at this moment, and they were struggling wildly.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he condensed a purple-gold fire ball a hundred times bigger than before, and hit the charred corpse without hesitation.
With a burst of purple light, the scorched corpse could not withstand the burning of the sun and was completely burned to ashes.
The screams on the side also stopped suddenly.
"Second brother!"
"Second brother!"
Mei Shumo and Tie Qiu saw Huang Yan'er's whole body turning red. After being stunned for a moment, they rushed over and caught him as he was about to fall to the ground.
On the other side, Lu Zhong walked to the charred corpse of the original winged human race and looked at the pile of ashes on the ground, his expression became solemn.
"Dead and not transformed, this is a symptom of corpse-transformation disease." Hong Gu came over, her face not very pretty.
"Then why can the silver cake it holds be able to confuse the alchemy monks? Even if the monks' strength is greatly suppressed now, it is logically speaking that it is extremely difficult to do."
Lu Zhong looked at Hong Gu, wanting to get the answer from her mouth.
"I don't know either." Hong Gu shook her head.
She turned around and looked deep into the mine, looking at the rich darkness, with a hint of complexity in her eyes, and sighed helplessly:
"I now doubt whether it was really a wise decision to choose to take this Ancient Spirit Mine Road. However, the best choice now is this road, and we have no other choice."
There was a muffled groan, and Huang Yan'er spat out a stream of black water and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing everyone looking at him, he suddenly asked in confusion: "Eldest brother, third brother, me, what's wrong with me?"
In his memory, he only saw a silver light shining in the corner.
When I woke up again, it was now.
After hearing Huang Yan'er's words, everyone fell silent.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from far away, and Li Yingshi walked out of the passage. Seeing the silent people, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "What happened? Fellow Taoists, you have such expressions."
Mei Shumo told what happened exactly as it happened.
After listening, Li Yingshi pondered for a while and then said: "Judging from the description, this should be a curse. However, how could it confuse the alchemy monks so easily? It shouldn't, it shouldn't..."
Looking at the Daiyin cake again, there is still black air lingering on it, obviously the curse has not been removed.
At this time, Lu Zhong opened his eyes and suddenly said:
"No matter what the curse is, we must be careful next time. This ancient spirit mine is well-deserved, and there are probably many more lurking dangers. You should all be more vigilant... By the way, Fellow Daoist Li, what is the situation outside now? Did the Yaksha patrol appear?"
"It's not optimistic. In just half an hour, there were two waves of patrolling Yaksha. And they seemed to be looking for something. I was almost discovered by these things just now. It is estimated that there is no way to walk on the ground." Li Yingshi shook his head and told everyone the result.
Another bad news!
"It seems that we can only use the Ancient Spirit Mine Road." Hong Gu sighed.
Then everyone walked towards the depths of the mine tunnel.
Since everyone has a high level of cultivation and can see in the dark, lighting methods that can easily reveal their whereabouts can be saved, and they can just advance forward through the dim light in the cave.
Along the way, not all are mine tunnels. Occasionally, you will pass through some abyss. The two sides are connected by long stone bridges. You can't see the sky above and the bottom below. You can vaguely see some stone bridges, crisscrossing the abyss. , the scale of the Ancient Spirit Clan’s excavation once again exceeded everyone’s imagination.
Winding up the stairs, or down the steep stairs along the cliff.
Some places are so steep that riding a mount is extremely risky and there is a danger of falling into the abyss, so that safety can only be ensured by walking.
During this period, I encountered various "treasures" more than once.
There is no shortage of various spiritual minerals worth tens of thousands.
Having learned the lesson before, everyone stayed away this time to avoid being harmed by it.
After walking for about half a month, the six of them came to a huge stone hall.
What's interesting is that there is sunlight falling in the stone hall. With the help of a bunch of crystal devices, the light is evenly distributed into the 100-foot-large stone hall, which actually illuminates the place, making it easy for even mortals to see.
"If my calculations are correct, we are now thousands of feet underground, maybe even deeper. Even in a place like this, the Ancient Spirit Clan can actually guide sunlight deep into the ground. This skill is really impressive!" Lu Zhong Feeling the long-lost warm sunshine, I sincerely admired it.
"This is nothing. Fellow Daoist Chen has probably never been to Holy Dao Mountain. Once you go there and see the magnificence of the Floating Holy Mountain, you will know that the construction technology of our human race is far beyond that of the Ancient Spirit Race. If you look at this stone hall again later, you will feel that it is nothing." Hong Gu reminded her kindly as soon as she found a stone chair to sit down on.
"Indeed, the majesty of Shengdao Mountain is hard to match here." Li Yingshi sat cross-legged on his gourd. Hearing the conversation between the two, he also looked yearning and said in agreement.
"Oh, it seems that if Chen is free in the future, he really wants to see the beauty of Shengdao Mountain."
Lu Zhong said with a chuckle.
Looking around, he also found a stone chair and sat down.
Close your eyes and adjust your breath.
The reason why Lu Zhong and other Nascent Souls took a rest was not only to refresh themselves, but also to give the three brothers Mei Shumo and Mei Shumo some time to breathe and recover.
After half a month in the mine, although they did not meet the undead corpse, it was not easy for Mei Shumo and the others. In order to resist the temptation of the nameless curse, they were all exhausted, especially Huang, who had been unlucky and had been cursed before. His temples and face were getting paler, and his vitality had obviously been greatly reduced.
If recovery is not carried out, the root may be damaged.
Furthermore, after passing through this stone hall, they will officially enter the Ancient Spirit Mine Road. Different from the previous peripheral areas, the real Ancient Spirit Mine Road area, according to the records of the Zixia Sect, is not only haunted by corpses , and other creatures living in caves here.
Compared to these creatures, Huang Quanjun can be said to be kind.
If you rush in without repairing it, you may suffer heavy casualties.
Seeing that it would take quite a while for Huang Yan'er to recover from his injuries, Lu Zhong, after finishing his breath adjustment, had no idea of practicing in front of outsiders to avoid others seeing any clues.
Simply, he fed the chocobo and watched the little guy eat the cabbage into his belly. It was actually quite interesting.
Time flies and it’s half a month again.
During this time, the surroundings were eerily calm.
After some healing, Huang Yan'er's condition finally stabilized.
"Let's continue on the road. The battle between the Linghuan Sect and the Huangquan Army can take as little as a month or as slowly as half a year. We don't have much time left. If we continue to delay, we will wait until the Huangquan Army returns to the city. It's hard to do anything in the City of Ten Thousand Corpses." Hong Gu stood up at this time and looked at the people in the stone hall.
There was no objection and the team set off again.
Passing through the Baizhang Hall is a huge blacksmithing workshop.
Here, you can see hanging baskets above your head. They are all made of metal, and many of them are full of ore. They extend towards the blast furnaces that have long been extinguished. Walking through the period is like entering a metal jungle. The glory of the Ancient Spirit Clan can be vaguely seen.
Looking at the pieces of exquisitely crafted armor and weapons, Li Yingshi sighed with emotion: "I used to read the classics and said that the Ancient Spirit Tribe was a race made of metal. I had a lot of doubts in my heart. After seeing this today, I still feel... It really is true, there is no lie.”
"That's true." Lu Zhong nodded.
The Ancient Spirit Tribe has exquisite craftsmanship, and the weapons and armor they forge are considered valuable by immortal cultivators. The sharp blade is enough to break through the monk's aura, and the armor is strong enough to withstand magic weapons.
If the Ancient Spirit Tribe had not perished due to the zombie disease, they would definitely have been a formidable enemy to the immortal cultivators who invaded the Little Spirit World.
Unfortunately, there is no if in reality.
"Next, we only need to pass through the blacksmithing workshop and then the Lingwang Avenue to reach the core area of the Ancient Spirit Mine Road. After that, as long as we can repel the undead corpses, we can enter the destination mining area, where we will be. It’s the last section of the Guling Mine Road, and the City of Ten Thousand Corpses is right on top of the edge of the mining area.”
Hong Gu was controlling her lizard-riding beast while telling everyone about the route ahead.
Suddenly Lu Zhong turned around suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
"Did you feel it?"
There was a voice, vaguely coming from behind.
At first there was a rustle, then there was a noise and the sound of metal clashing, which converged intensively into a harsh thunder.
"Trouble, it's the Stone Spirit Clan!" Li Yingshi said in shock.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he remembered the origin of this clan.
As one of the hundreds of tribes in the Xiaoling World, the Shiling Clan is not famous in this world as the overlord. Instead, it is known for its bloody violence and cruelty, which has left a deep memory to the hundreds of tribes.
The character "Shi" in their clan name was originally supposed to mean "food", which means they are the spirit-eating clan. When this clan was once powerful, its food annihilated many smaller races.
Compared with the other cave-dwelling creatures that everyone was worried about meeting on the road, now they meet the Stone Spirit Tribe, which can be regarded as extremely unlucky for the six of them.
"There's one in front too, we're surrounded!"
As soon as Hong Gu finished speaking, the river of light formed by the torches appeared in all directions, even on the top of the rock above their heads. Countless figures were like insects, either roaring or making strange calls of unknown meaning, gathering Chengliu came to kill them.
Lu Zhong made a seal and fired a ball of light.
The dazzling light illuminated the huge forging factory.
Looking at the densely packed and armored Stone Spirit Tribe army, everyone took a breath of cold air. Even Lu Zhong frowned. With so many Stone Spirit Tribes, if he didn't expose his god-forming cultivation, he would have to consume a little bit. It is estimated that it will be difficult to solve the problem in order to restore the strength.
Once his power as a god was exposed, he had already had a premonition that something bad would happen.
Thinking of this, he shouted:
"Move, head toward the Spirit King Avenue, and kill them!"
"Kill!" Hong Gu raised her sword.
The flying sword swung and shot out a crescent sword energy.
Falling into the Stone Spirit Tribe’s army, they immediately killed a large number of them.
But soon, these Stone Spirit Tribes, who were no more than half a man in height and wore armor forged by the Ancient Spirit Tribe, except for the first few who were killed, the rest stood up again, their dark green faces twisted, and they roared. Then he launched another charge, trying to use his spear to knock everyone off their mounts.
Hong Gu still didn't believe in the evil, and swung out several sword energy.
The result is the same as before.
