Chapter 452 Dilemma, Before the Incident
"Hiss~"
Severe pain came from the abdomen, and the whole person seemed to be torn into two pieces.
However, in a messy space picture, white lights of varying lengths and widths crisscrossed. Looking at it in three dimensions, the entire space was cut into countless cracks. In one of the shallow white cracks about three meters long, a figure stuck in the middle appeared.
Pulling in to see, this person was Xu Qingyang who was teleported into the valley. He was unlucky to be teleported to this area with dense cracks.
It was a good thing that he was "stuck" by another crack.
The word "stuck" was only used by him. If it were someone else, he would either be torn to pieces or swallowed directly by the space crack. Only he was like a bridge, standing on both sides of the crack, awkwardly unable to move forward or retreat.
This was not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing was that this crack was expanding.
Xu Qingyang had to face the indescribable pulling force while resisting the void swallowing in the crack. If he couldn't break free as soon as possible, he would probably be torn to pieces or sucked into the void. That kind of place is not a place where ordinary life in the material world can survive.
"Xu kid, don't panic. This kind of crack may heal automatically in the next moment..."
Dayan Shenjun was also anxious, but he had no choice but to comfort him. Who knew he would be so unlucky? It was terrible enough to encounter a space crack, and he also encountered such an unstable space crack.
"Sir, could it be that the Ghost Spirit Sect is secretly doing something?" Yin Yue gritted her teeth and said.
This possibility cannot be ruled out, but this is not the point now.
Xu Qingyang is not a person who sits back and waits. While his body has not been torn apart, he used many ways to borrow force from the outside to break free, such as releasing spells to pull and resist the suction of the crack, or using formation flags to try to stabilize the crack, but the result was very bad. After several operations, there were several more tiny cracks around him.
The space here is too fragile, like a soaked rag.
On the other hand, Han Li's side is much smoother.
He appeared in a Gobi desert, surrounded by gray fog, but it was empty, without a single space crack.
After confirming that the environment was safe, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the Ghost Spirit Sect had not made any moves. In this way, there was no need to worry too much about Brother Xu, who was better than his own survival ability. The next thing to do was to meet up with Nanlong Hou in the west and look for the treasure of the ancient cultivator's remains.
It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted by the things left by the ancient cultivator.
His strength was based on various super-human treasures. If the ancient cultivator left behind some elixir that could increase one's cultivation, it would be great. By the way, he could help Brother Xu to go to the inner valley to make a forward move.
After identifying the direction, Han Li released a large number of gold-eating insects and opened his clear eyes.
Before coming in, he had thought of ways to deal with those hidden space cracks. Relying on the connection of these gold-eating bugs, he could use a stupid method to let the gold-eating bugs form a dense obstacle warning around him. As long as he encountered a space crack, the gold-eating bugs would be swallowed up, and he would receive feedback at the same time and avoid it in time.
Next, he had to find Nanlong Hou, and the method was not difficult.
The way in and out left by Master Cangkun was to enter from a fixed place outside the valley, and the position after entering the valley was also fixed. Nanlong Hou gave him a connection area in advance.
If there is no route map, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone in this place.
With the known area, combined with the general situation explored by the predecessors, Han Li went all the way north. On the way, he encountered many unlucky people who were torn in half by space cracks and hung in the air strangely. One of them even said hello when entering the valley. It seemed to be a Yuanying ancestor of an ordinary immortal sect, and his physical body was quietly left there.
It is unknown whether the Yuanying escaped in time, but the danger here is exposed.
At this moment, he was somewhat worried about Xu Qingyang. After moving forward, he also saw some lucky cultivators who found the ancient ruins and were working together to break the ban.
If he was not in a hurry, Han Li would also like to search for it.
Unfortunately, the business had to be done first, so Han Li did not stop, and he crossed hundreds of thousands of miles smoothly to the west without stopping.
"It's him, here he comes!"
On a hill somewhere, Nanlong Hou and his good friend Lu Weiying both stood up.
After a while, a green light fell in front of the two of them, revealing Han Li's dusty face. The three of them exchanged a few greetings, and Nanlong Hou vigilantly extended his consciousness to check the surroundings.
This behavior was not hidden.
Han Li had a blank expression on his face, and let him check it out before saying: "Don't worry, my lord, Senior Brother Xu is not with me, and I don't know where he is. If you really don't trust me, I will voluntarily withdraw, and I can lend you the two-Yin ring now!"
Nanlong Hou laughed dryly, and Lu Weiying on the side hurriedly spoke to ease the situation.
"Don't mind, Fellow Daoist Han. Brother Nanlong was taught a lesson by the Ghost Spirit Sect last time in the Cangkun Treasure House, and now he is a little nervous."
"Haha, I'm sorry to make you laugh, Fellow Daoist Han."
Nanlong Hou bowed and said, "It's not that I have such a big opinion of Fellow Daoist Xu, it's just that Fellow Daoist Xu is too overbearing and will fight at the slightest disagreement. The important thing for us to do this treasure hunt is to cooperate sincerely, so that conflicts are not likely to occur. In addition, Brother Han, please don't mention quitting again. This treasure hunt will not only use the Liangyi Ring, but Brother Han's participation is also very important."
He explained this and said that there was an ancient beast guarding the remains of the ancient cultivator.
This beast was not very famous in ancient times, and its strength could only be said to be acceptable. It was named: "Fire Toad Beast", but because it has survived since ancient times, its strength is something else.
Moreover, this theory may have mutated in the information left by Cang Kun.
Combined with that environment, it is called a lava land, which is extremely suitable for the Fire Toad to display. To be on the safe side, Han Licheng needs to use the Ice Flame magical power to restrain it.
Hearing this, Han Li got off the road and stopped mentioning the unhappiness he had just experienced. The three of them discussed how to cooperate and how to distribute the remains after getting them. Then, under the leadership of Nanlong Hou, they followed the instructions left by Master Cang Kun. We took the safe route down, all the way to the outside of the inner valley and entered a canyon corridor.
After passing through the long canyon corridor, you can see a sky shrouded in blood in front of you, which is extremely strange and terrifying.
"That bloody light is an extremely powerful restraint, and you can definitely provoke it."
Nanlonghou solemnly warned the two of them and took the lead to fly towards a mountain range ahead. Han Li briefly observed the blood-colored sky, feeling that the whole thing was like a tightly wrapped prison. This reminded him of what Xu Qingyang and God Lord Dayan said. If there is really an ancient demon sealed here, then everything can be said. Got it.
When he thought that there might be ancient demons imprisoned in ancient times, Han Li instinctively wanted to leave as far away as possible.
Forcibly suppressing his distracting thoughts, he continued to move forward with Marquis Nanlong.
Not long after, they came to a place shrouded in white mist in the mountains. Nanlong Hou claimed that it was a restriction left by Master Cang Kun. In order to prevent the ancient cultivator's remains from being discovered, he could come back to pick them up next time.
After using Cang Kun's relic to open the restriction, the three encountered the first obstacle, an ancient giant python.
This thing is not a monster in the ordinary sense. It is frighteningly large and moves like a small mountain range. However, it has limited wisdom and no brute force. The three of them used their magical powers. Although they were unable to destroy its defense, they were able to close the gap. He started, spent some effort, and killed the ancient giant python together.
After a brief summary, the three of them continued forward and got into a cave.
This is a passage leading to the inner valley, but it is filled with Yuan Guang. The slightest fluctuation of mana will be sensed by it. Only the two ritual rings can completely shield the three people from being targeted by Yuan Guang.
After passing this dangerous tunnel, you will emerge into the inner valley.
"How can there be so many space cracks?"
Lu Weiying was startled by the scene in front of him, and Nanlong Hou's face looked solemn. A look of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes. He secretly took out a slightly shining bead and looked at it. This object was a pair, and the other one was a pair. One was on Xu Qingyang, and the two used it more than once to sense each other's position.
When I was outside before, there was no reaction at all.
This is not surprising. The distance between this object is not long. After it exceeds ten thousand miles, the sensing will be very blurry. However, I never expected that it would be sensed here. Doesn't this mean that Brother Xu was directly teleported here?
This doesn't quite fit in with their plan.
Suddenly, he felt a little dizzy and worried.
There are so many space cracks here. For normal monks, if they teleport here as soon as they arrive, they will almost certainly die. Brother Xu’s physical body is extraordinary, but he is probably also very dangerous. If his luck is extremely bad, Han Li will not even want to As I continued to think deeply, sweat rarely appeared on my forehead.
"Fellow Daoist Han, don't be so nervous!"
Marquis Nanlong wanted to explain something to the two of them, but when he turned around and saw Han Li sweating on his forehead, he was surprised that this man was suddenly so timid, so he couldn't help but comfort him with words.
Lu Weiying on the side smiled bitterly and said: "Don't talk about fellow Taoist Han, Lu is very nervous now."
"In such a complex space crack, I don't know how much invisible and traceless things are hidden in it. They can even change and move at any time. No matter how cautious you are, there is a danger of falling at any time."
When he said this, Han Li also agreed.
The possibility that Xu Qingyang might be teleported here is unbelievable, and the other two cannot know about it.
In front of their field of vision, they saw a vast and endless mountain range. Due to the chaos in the space, the purple light sensor bead could not determine the specific direction for the time being. Now he must follow Nanlong Hou through it first, and then find a way to find Xu Qingyang's location. If Xu Qingyang is still alive, he has persisted It’s been so long, there’s no need to mess up the situation for the time being.
"You two fellow Taoists, don't worry too much. In fact, the invisible space cracks will not move."
"Master Cang Kun has verified this back then, and it is not what was rumored by the outside world. If not, Master Cang Kun would not have been able to get out of this place alive even if he had amazing magical powers."
"Now that we have the route map left by Master Cang Kun, our safety is greatly guaranteed."
Marquis Nanlong looked at the two of them and said with a serious face: "As long as you don't make any mistakes, we will follow the road map honestly and there should be no problem in finding the remains of the ancient cultivator!"
"Okay, if you don't plan to quit, then keep walking!"
The two of them looked at each other and expressed their willingness to continue moving forward and to listen to Nanlong Hou's actions.
In this way, the three of them were in a dangerous space crack. They strictly followed the route left by Cang Kun and used all their defenses. The three of them formed a line and flew for another day at a leisurely speed. The road was full of twists and turns, going back and forth. But fortunately there are no problems with the road map and no danger has occurred.
Nanlong Hou flew ahead all the way, never showing any hesitation, and he had memorized the route by heart.
In addition to the space cracks, there are a large number of ancient prohibitions here, and the difficulty of exploration is simply hell-level. As they are about to arrive and the environment is better, they encounter a mature purple-striped scorpion, which is famous and ranked in the top ten of the strange insect list, blocking their way. Two or three of these things can make a Yuanying cultivator flee. If more than a dozen of them attack together, their strength can sweep across the cultivation world of a country. Finally, Nanlong Hou provided a kind of extremely poisonous thing left by Cang Kun, and Han Li provided a few puppets.
This thing is a favorite food of the purple-striped scorpion. The puppet carries and moves, and successfully leads away the poisonous insects blocking the road.
From here, Han Li felt that Master Cang Kun was really well prepared, but it was just a remains of an ancient cultivator with unknown harvests, which was worthy of such attention from a great cultivator who overpowered Tiannan.
There seemed to be something hidden in it.
He observed Nanlong Hou unnoticeably along the way, but he did not find anything abnormal, so he could only suppress it in his heart for the time being.
His primary and secondary goals have changed now. Obtaining the relics of the ancient cultivators is a secondary position. No matter how many treasures there are or how good the elixir is, it is not as important as Xu Qingyang's position in his heart.
After flying for half a day, the three of them came to a huge red peak.
The ancient fire toad beast's nest and the ancient cultivator's relics are here. After a brief discussion, the three of them followed the route map and entered a cave at the bottom of the giant peak. All the way in, there was fiery red underground magma everywhere, as if it was a doomsday world located underground, until they saw a lava lake.
There are many fire-attributed treasures growing around the lake, and there is a raised stone platform in the middle of the lake.
Above the stone platform, a small monster, about three or five feet long, resembling a toad, with a fiery red skin, was lying on it and sleeping soundly. With every breath, clouds were entangled around it.
Next to the monster, there was a transparent skeleton wrapped in a green robe.
The three of them breathed heavily. The fire toad beast and the ancient cultivator's skeleton must be here.
Needless to say, the three decided to lead the beast away from the stone platform. The magma lake is its home ground. Once it escapes into the magma, no one can do anything. After that, Han Li will take the lead. His purple Luo divine flame, which is fused with the dry blue ice flame, is a rare cold attribute magical power in the world, which just restrains this beast.
Although the process is thrilling, it is still very smooth.
When it comes to the treasure distribution link, there is another battle of wits. Han Li took away a method of refining a spiritual treasure called "Seven Flame Fan". This item is a copy of a Tongtian spiritual treasure in the message left by Gu Xiu.
What is Tongtian spiritual treasure, there is no need to elaborate.
There are dozens of rare materials on it, and the refining method has not yet been perfected.
Han Li took this item, firstly, the desire of Nanlong Hou and the other two to compete is not strong, and secondly, he knows that Dayan Shenjun and Xu Qingyang have the ability to perfect the refining method, so he took away some of the "spiritual materials" accumulated by Gu Xiu for refining ancient treasures, and finally a mirror ancient treasure, and the "clothes" on Gu Xiu's body.
This dress has a lot of history.
But let’s not talk about this for now, as we still need to decide whether the three of them will go their separate ways.
