Liu Yuan took advantage of the recovery period after the magic circle was fully activated and rushed in at once.
Once you rush into the magic circle, as you go deeper into the interior, the pressure of the water suddenly decreases, and the surrounding scenery becomes clear again.
Those ruins are indeed very unusual. Liu Yuan had read some ancient books in Wenyuan Pavilion, so he can infer that this ruins are quite old.
Such a long-standing relic can still maintain the spiritual power of the protective circle until today. There is indeed some way to do it. Liu Yuan thought about this and became eager.
Maybe there is some treasure.
If there is a treasure, someone will covet it. Liu Yuan thought of Nianjian Pavilion and became vigilant.
He left a few blue soul ants behind and dived into the rocks under the water. Their natural affinity for water made them blend into the environment, and there was no trace of the soul ants releasing their spiritual power. As long as the intruder's realm is not too high, he should not notice it.
With this backhand buried, he began to explore forward. After passing through several broken walls and ruins, he felt that the traces of the spiritual power of the magic circle began to strengthen and had a tendency to recover.
We need to find the center of the magic circle as soon as possible.
The remaining blue soul ants were busy, and the bull ants also helped them clean up the scattered ruins and rocks.
The scope of the array was not large, so Liu Yuan's search by casting a wide net quickly found a direction, after moving a piece of rock. Several strong streams of water rushed out from the hidden cave entrance, and they were also mixed with surging spiritual energy.
This is?
Underwater spiritual spring?
He had seen it in the Valley of Trials, where the spirit-washing pool was where the spiritual springs gathered.
However, the spiritual spring under the water here is obviously much worse than that in the Trial Valley, and the spiritual energy that emerges is mixed and impure.
Although the grade is not high, the total amount of spiritual energy is quite abundant. No wonder someone built a mansion here in the first place.
Entering the cave entrance against the direction of the spiritual energy, the pressure of the water flow also weakens, and there is indeed a cave inside. The huge reef is artificially divided into more than ten secret rooms.
Liu Yuan first followed the source of spiritual power to find the formation room. There is an octagonal stone platform in the middle of the room, and the spiritual spring that leads to it passes under the stone platform.
When the spiritual energy passes through, 80% of it is intercepted, so more goes in and less goes out. It seems that the source of spiritual power of the magic circle is here.
The eight corners of the stone platform are carved with eight lifelike dragons, and the dragon heads point to the object in the middle.
It was a basin-shaped object about a foot high. The basin was copper-green in color and had two ears on the edge. On the ears were coiled two dragons facing the center, with a vivid posture.
The bottom of the basin is engraved with swirling spiritual patterns, and there are two dragon ball patterns in the center, which seem to be shining under the rippling water patterns.
He also discovered that the basin was filled with spiritual liquid, and its purity and concentration were much higher than the spiritual spring flowing through it.
It can absorb and store spiritual energy on its own, and can also purify and compress it into spiritual liquid. It is indeed a treasure.
He carefully inspected the treasure and finally found several indented ancient characters on the side: Shuanglong Wash.
At this time, there is still more than half a basin of spiritual liquid in the wash, and it is time for the magic circle to be reactivated. Gradually, as the water outside the cave becomes thicker and surges again, the liquid level in the wash has increased to an insignificant level. of reduction.
Since the magic circle is not stimulated by foreign objects at this time, the liquid level will no longer decrease after the magic circle is restored.
Sure enough.
Then you're welcome. He checked the bottom base and found that the double dragon wash was embedded in the jade platform. After trying to dig it with a bull ant for a few times, I found that the jade was extremely hard and must not be ordinary.
He had no choice but to release the black soul ants again. They activated their devouring power and began to eat away at the jade platform bit by bit, trying to separate the base.
While they were busy here, Liu Yuan began to explore other secret rooms.
Unfortunately, nine out of ten other rooms were empty. Liu Yuan searched several times but found nothing. Obviously, this cave was actively abandoned and emptied. Only a self-replenishing protective circle was left.
After searching for half a day, Liu Yuan had no choice but to give up. He returned to the formation room. The black ants gnawed a deep mark on the base. Looking at the progress, he could separate the two dragons in a few days. As for the spiritual spring, he is not yet able to transplant it and take it away.
In the past half day, he found that the liquid level of Ssangyong was a little higher. It seems that some of the stored spiritual liquid was used up because of his continuous stimulation of the magic circle. As long as the spiritual spring continues to be replenished, it will slowly fill up sooner or later.
With nothing to do, he began to study the layout of the formation, and found out the locations of several formation stones one by one. Complex talismans were carved on the formation stones. It's a pity that he is still a layman on formation formation, and after studying it for a long time, he still can't see any tricks.
He could only wait for the black soul ants to cut the base bit by bit. Fortunately, there was no shortage of spiritual energy here. He took this opportunity to replenish the consumed honeypot ants with spiritual energy in case of emergency.
On the second day, something unexpected happened.
The blue ants staying outside the formation suddenly issued a warning to Liu Yuan.
Someone has come to the bottom of the water! And it is towards here, getting closer and closer.
Liu Yuan quickly ordered the blue soul ants to hide deeper and be careful to hide.
I just hope that it is Ren Feng who comes.
Not long after, his hope was shattered. There were three people who came, and they were all at the foundation building level. It seemed that they were still above him, at least around the middle stage of foundation building.
He knew through the information from Blue Yuan Shen Ant Chuan Dad that everyone had a sword box on their back. This must be someone from Nianjiange.
Fortunately, they haven't noticed the prying eyes of the blue ants. After all, they are at the bottom of the water. It is not easy to find the blue soul ants under the circumstances.
However, the three of them, like Liu Yuan, do not need to use water-removing techniques. They can stroll underwater without any hindrance. They must also be masters in this area.
Come prepared!
When the three people approached the magic circle, they obviously felt the abnormality of the water flow, and they all stopped.
They discussed for a few words and then took action immediately. The three of them spread out at the same time, distanced themselves, formed a triangle, and circled around the magic circle.
The circle quickly changed from large to small, and the range within which the magic circle was activated was quickly determined. This is similar to Liu Yuan's original exploration method. Judging from the proficiency of their cooperation, they must have been specially selected to specialize in water escape and formation breaking.
It turns out that Nianjian Pavilion is not as powerful as Lingtian Pavilion, and they value this underwater ruins more.
In order to prevent Lingtian Pavilion from taking the lead, three disciples in the mid-foundation period who were proficient in water escape and formation breaking were selected.
It is speculated that the main peak of Lingtian Pavilion should be too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters in the secular world.
There is a disciple of Lingtian Pavilion who is in the Qi refining stage permanently stationed in the main city of Pengcheng, and that monk was the first to discover the underwater ruins. However, with the energy of the fringe disciples in his clan, he should only be able to call in a few peak Qi refining or early stage foundation building disciples at most. Helper in the clan.
The three of them are more than enough to handle it in the middle stage of foundation building.
The facts were exactly as they expected.
