Above the desolate wilderness.
In front of the ruins of several dilapidated wooden houses.
The small yellow flowers sway gently in the wind.
Suddenly a big foot wearing white sneakers stepped on it.
Wei Cang looked at the ruined wooden house and said to Liu Chao in surprise:
"You can find it in such a remote place. You are also a talent."
Liu Chao replied somewhat helplessly:
“We accidentally stumbled into it last time when we were chasing a monster.
Otherwise, how could you go to such a remote place with nothing to do? "
"But it is precisely because of this that this ruins has been hidden for so long without being discovered."
Yu Hongfei looked at the faint treasure light in the ruins and already believed that this was a ruins.
Song Ruyuan looked around and said:
"If it is like what Liu Chao said, and the light inside continues to become stronger as time goes by, then sooner or later someone will discover it.
Now that we are here, we are very likely to be the first batch, and may be able to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the greatest benefits. "
"I'm just afraid that we might not be the first batch."
Su Mo said and looked at the grass on the other side.
Everyone also followed his gaze.
I saw very obvious trampling marks in the grass.
Wei Cang knelt down, picked up a blade of grass, and said in a deep voice:
"The footprints are facing inward, and the sap on the grass blades is still very fresh. They must have come here not long ago. It looks like they may not have come out yet."
Yu Hongfei couldn't help but look at Liu Chao.
Liu Chao said in fear:
"I really don't know about this. My brother and sister didn't meet anyone else when we went in before, and we only did business with you later."
Song Ruyuan said in a calm voice:
"We don't doubt you. Qinghu City is so big, it's normal for a few lucky people to appear. We can't only allow you to discover this ruins.
But what I want to remind you here is that thanks to you meeting us, if you still go in alone with the idea of monopolizing the ruins, then the outcome will be bad. "
When Liu Chao heard this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Song Ruyuan ignored him and directly gave instructions:
"Lao Yu, Xiao Wei, you two stay outside to see if anyone comes out. In addition, notify your family and send a group of people over to seal the place. Mr. Su, Liu Chao, I, and I will go in first to investigate. "
"clear!"
Yu Hongfei and Wei Cang responded solemnly.
Su Mo couldn't help but look at Liu Chao.
Seeing this, Liu Chao swallowed his saliva and bravely led the way.
Watching his figure disappear into the ruins, Su Mo and Song Ruyuan followed him at the same time.
As if passing through a dark curtain, the field of vision suddenly dimmed. What he saw was a damp underground cave. The gray-black rock walls spread in all directions. Green and glowing moss grew on the ground, and there was a faint energy between the nose. Smell the smell of decay and decay.
"Looking at the environment, it should be underground somewhere nearby."
Song Ruyuan glanced around and sighed:
“This gate-keeping formation actually has the ability to move in the void, and it is at least a fourth-grade formation.
Fortunately, this formation has lost part of its effectiveness, otherwise we might not be able to pass the test of identifying ourselves. "
"But even if you can get in, you have to be more careful behind the scenes."
Su Mo added on the side:
“I haven’t studied the formation much, but I can vaguely see that this is a huge complex formation that should cover the entire ruins.
Now many branch structures of the formation have been damaged, and some functions have failed.
But at the same time, some formation coping mechanisms no longer work.
If you try to rely on your understanding of the formation to break the formation, you will probably suffer a big loss. "
Song Ruyuan nodded solemnly, obviously understanding this.
But what Su Mo didn't say was that if he wanted to forcefully break the formation, with his strength, there would be no difficulty in breaking it.
But as he said, he has no research on the formation. Even if he can see that some structures of the formation are damaged, it is impossible to start from this aspect and break the formation as calmly as solving math problems.
All he can do is crush them with force and violently break the formation.
Although the formation can be broken in this way, the heritage protected by the formation, and even the entire cave, may be destroyed.
Then wasn't he here in vain?
"It's a pity that the hand girl is not here, otherwise it would not be a matter of minutes to break through this formation."
Su Mo sighed in his heart and looked at Liu Chao.
Liu Chao swallowed his saliva and said bravely:
"Come with me."
As he spoke, he led everyone towards a passage on the left.
Soon, everyone walked around and came to a stone house.
The stone house is a cave dug directly into the rock wall.
Liu Chao pointed inside and said:
“I saw Long Yuan Dan, bone worms and other things in this room.
Unfortunately there is a trap inside, I saw it but couldn't get it. "
Su Mo and Song Ruyuan filed in.
I saw several skeletons lying in the corner of the stone house. They had obviously been dead for a long time.
Beside them, there were several overturned empty medicine bottles.
Nothing else.
"No, the thing was there, why is it gone?"
When Liu Chao saw this scene, his expression immediately changed.
That Long Yuan Dan is related to the life safety of his family.
"Obviously it has been taken away by those who came first."
Song Ruyuan glanced at the footprints on the ground, his eyes flickered and he said:
"It seems that they are quite strong and they managed to break through the trap here."
"Then what do we do next?"
Liu Chao showed a hint of anxiety on his face:
"We can't let the treasure be taken away by them in vain."
"Then why don't you just follow me?"
Su Mo smiled slightly and walked forward.
He crossed the floor where the trap was originally laid and came to the stone wall directly opposite. Then he stepped in and his body sank directly into the stone wall and disappeared.
Song Ruyuan and Liu Chao also followed in.
Turning around the stone wall, you entered another passage.
After looking at the surrounding environment, Liu Chao marveled and said:
"I didn't expect that there is a hidden passage here. So what does the other stone passage outside that is full of restrictions mean? Could it be that it is deliberately deceiving people?"
"That's hard to say."
Su Mo glanced at the footprints on the ground and said as he walked:
"This formation is extremely complex. Judging from the formation patterns and restrictions, it has the ability to move in the void and cover up with disguise.
It is very likely that the entire underground has been dug through, forming countless roads that are not connected to each other, forming a complex maze.
Only by obtaining the corresponding warrant can one pass through the rock wall and enter other passages as just now.
If the formation hadn't been damaged now, it would be difficult for us to get here. "
"So the other stone path full of restrictions outside should also lead to a certain passage?"
Song Ruyuan asked.
"That's how it should be."
Su Mo replied:
“It’s just that we don’t know where that place leads.
And now that the formation is damaged, it is not known whether it is possible to successfully enter another stone passage. "
Song Ruyuan nodded thoughtfully:
"Anyway, let's just follow the group of people who came in early."
Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly:
"I'm just afraid that they will go astray."
With that said, Su Mo came to the place where the footprints disappeared and stepped into the stone wall next to him.
Song Ruyuan and Liu Chao followed suit and walked in.
As soon as they entered it and saw the scene clearly, everyone couldn't help but change their colors slightly.
Suddenly he saw a spacious stone room in front of him.
There is a huge round stone table indoors.
Around the stone table, there are twelve uniformly shaped stone benches.
Sitting on the stools were cultivators who had turned into skeletons with only their robes remaining.
It looked like everyone in the house was killed on the spot at the same time.
Where did the attacker come from?
Why kill them again?
Everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
In fact, they had already discovered many traces of battle during their previous march.
Including the practitioners who died in that stone house before, they all died fighting each other.
Apparently there was a big battle in this ruined cave.
And from the opponent's ability to find the enemy's position in the maze formation so smoothly.
Maybe this was an internal fight.
Liu Chao glanced at everyone's clothes and said with a little pity:
"Everything has been taken away. There should have been some treasures left on the table, but they have also been taken away. It seems that we are still a step late."
"No, not one step, but several steps."
Song Ruyuan looked around and said in a deep voice:
"Haven't you noticed yet? There are no footprints here anymore.
This illustrates two problems.
First, we were the first ones here.
Second, the treasures of the deceased should have been taken away by the victors of that year. "
Su Mo frowned slightly and said:
"It seems that the stone paths leading to the stone walls are not exactly the same.
Or if you enter at different times, you will enter different stone passages.
Only in this way can we explain why we lose track. "
"This is bad!"
Liu Chao's face immediately became very ugly:
"If we can't find a suitable return path, won't we be trapped in this maze forever?"
"That shouldn't be the case."
Song Ruyuan replied calmly:
"It is a broken formation in itself. At this moment, its operation is entirely supported by the originally set rules. As long as we can figure out the rules of the formation's operation, we can go anywhere to this ruins by relying on the stone wall."
"It's a pity that we didn't end up here by accident."
Su Mo looked at the stone statue of an old man carved on the wall and asked in a deep voice:
"You brought us here, right?"
Listening to these words, the stone statue seemed to suddenly have spirituality, and its expression became vivid:
"I didn't expect you to discover my existence. This is really beyond my expectation.
It stands to reason that I should not be noticed by outsiders with the help of the cover of the Star Shifting Void Formation.
How did you discover me? "
Faced with the stone statue man's inquiry, Su Mo chuckled.
At first, he really thought it was a problem with the operation of the formation that caused them to enter here.
But he soon realized something was wrong, because when he looked at the stone wall, he clearly saw traces of manipulation by the formation.
Su Mo did not answer, but asked on the spot:
"If I guess correctly, you are not human, right?"
Song Ruyuan and Liu Chao were both a little stunned when they heard this.
The stone statue opposite also said in surprise:
"Why am I not a human being? Can't I use this spiritual stone statue to talk to you remotely?"
"A practitioner may be able to talk to me with the help of the Lingxun Stone Statue, but there is absolutely no way to make the expression of the stone statue so vivid.
Then there is only one answer. Are you the formation spirit of this ruins formation? "
"Array spirit?"
Liu Chao on the side said with a face full of surprise:
"Is this a formation of level six or above?"
Song Ruyuan shook his head:
“This formation can only reach level 5 at most, but the formation spirit does not have to reach level 7 to be born.
Certain spiritual lights can also be integrated into formations to act as formation spirits.
If nothing else, this is the case. "
“I didn’t expect that there are knowledgeable people among you juniors.
Yes, I am the formation spirit of this star-moving void formation, Yan Chen. "
The stone statue man said with a condescending expression.
Su Mo ignored it and asked directly:
"Then what did you bring us here for?"
"Why are juniors so impatient nowadays?"
Yanchen muttered, but did not refuse to answer:
"I asked you to come here, so naturally I have some benefits to give you.
I'm afraid that you won't dare to accept it. "
"Might as well make it more clear."
Yanchen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked without answering:
“Boy, before I talk about the specific content, I want to ask you a question first.
How much do you know about our Holy Land Sect? "
Su Mo looked at Song Ruyuan who was aside.
Song Ruyuan muttered:
“As far as I know, the Holy Earth Sect mainly practices earth-attribute magic.
Although there is no Saint Master in the sect, there are several great mages.
Moreover, the Holy Land Sect is different from other sects.
It often migrates, chasing the essence of earth among the five elements.
Once the essence of the earth in a certain place is collected, it will be moved to the next place.
So there are traces of him everywhere.
I didn’t expect that your place is related to the Holy Earth Sect. "
"Yes, this is the main altar of the Holy Tu Sect, and it is also the last main altar."
The stone statue man said solemnly:
“When we moved here, we had four alternative locations.
There is holy soil in all four places, which is what you call the essence of soil.
The difference is that the essence of the soil here is the strongest, so it is set as the main altar.
The other three places are set up as separate altars.
And it wasn't long after the arrangement of our sect-defending formation was completed.
The sect suffered an unprecedented catastrophe. "
"Hundreds of evil cults have entered our main altar!"
"What? Baixie Cult?"
Song Ruyuan suddenly changed his color.
Yanchen chuckled and said:
"It seems that even you know about this sect that does all evil.
In the world of spiritual practice, wherever there is a righteous path, there is also a demonic path, and Baixie Cult was one of the most notorious demonic forces at that time.
His actions are rampant, his style is ruthless, his numbers are overwhelming, and his techniques are treacherous.
And the most important thing is that there is a holy master hidden in their sect!
At that time when the Holy Master disappeared, it could be said that it was overwhelming! "
“We had just arrived at that time and had not yet established a foundation, so we were targeted by these evil cults.
They relied on buying our sect disciples to gain access to the formation.
Then he entered it through disguise, and started a bloody fight inside the main altar.
The whole sect, except me, the lingering spirit of the formation, all the others were destroyed by it.
Even the three branches living far away were also besieged by hundreds of evil cults.
It can be said that our Holy Land Sect and Baixie Cult have sworn hatred! "
When Yanchen said this, he paused slightly.
He looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice:
"The transaction I'm going to talk about next is related to these cults. Are you sure you want to listen?"
