Luo frowned slightly, "You mean there is a place under the patio where evil spirits are prevalent?"
Her words condensed the atmosphere at the scene.
Everyone is all too familiar with the word flood. After the fall of the Yong Dynasty, many evil spirits appeared on the road. In these places, strong qi allows evil spirits to persist for a long time, so that the latter becomes the norm. It is difficult to find traces of ghosts and monsters in other places, but in flooded areas, evil spirits can openly walk through the roads, and any living thing that comes close will be poisoned by them.
Later, the privy councils of various countries invested a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up the flooded areas in some battlefields and cities. To this day, there are still several flooded areas remaining on the mainland, especially in Xu State, which is the main battlefield.
"Yes, and there are various types, including big demons and strange ghosts." Lord Huntian sneered, "We even found higher-level existences at the bottom."
"Higher level?" Ning Wanjun asked curiously, "What is that?"
"There is no such classification in the Privy Council Palace." He said slowly, "But we have noticed that in front of this kind of monster, other evil spirits will also shy away."
Evil spirits have no will of their own, and all their actions are instinctive.
And because they are all composed of Qi and accumulation, they sometimes devour each other internally.
A chaotic object that can prevent other evil spirits from colliding with it can indeed be called a unique one.
"They have their own territory. Within this range, common monsters and monsters are hard to find." Venerable Huntian continued, "The Salvation Cult gave such evil spirits a name Ravana, which means the devil's place. mean."
"Ravana is the king of demons in the Central and Western areas." Luo Qingqing explained to Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan, "Due to trade relations, these names are more common in Feng and Mao, and are basically not used here. use."
It is indeed Luo Encyclopedia.
Xia Fan secretly praised, then looked at Lord Huntian, "Have you never considered completely clearing this flooded area?"
"Huh, you don't have to say this? Of course we have thought about it, but it's not easy!" Venerable Qitian couldn't help but interjected, "The reason for the existence of the flooded land is that there is a strong enough Qi source, either to suppress it with formations, or To dispel it, the first step is to find the location of the air source! But the patio is so big, and there are evil spirits lurking everywhere. Even if Hagoromo goes deep into it rashly, it will be difficult to guarantee his own safety. What can we do to determine the location?"
"Okay, the other party is just asking, you don't need to be so excited." Venerable Pingtian glanced at the other party, "Master Xia is a listener, and maybe he can find the core of the flooded area."
"You don't need to do anything too risky." Ning Wanjun whispered immediately, "In my opinion, the conditions given by Jinxia are generous enough, and you don't need to put yourself on the line."
"Don't worry, I just want to understand the situation." Xia Fan winked at the princess, and then asked the other side, "If you want to go deep into the hundred-level area, when do you think the best time is?"
This time the Pope himself answered, “Tomorrow morning.”
According to the records of the Salvation Cult in the past ten years, the cycle of evil spirits' attacks has become increasingly frequent. For example, when records were first recorded, it was usually once every three to four months, and big demons were rarely seen. But in the past two years, this interval has shortened to within a month, and sometimes there will be two or three waves in a row.
This feeling is as if the evil spirits below the patio have noticed the actions of the Salvation Cult and are trying to counterattack.
The last evil spirit attack was eight days ago, which happened to be when Li sneaked into the patio area.
There was no aftermath in the following days, which also meant that the round of attacks had basically come to an end.
This is considered a quiet period for the patio, and exploration of the lower part is also concentrated during this period.
In fact, before Jinxia's envoys arrived at Baiyao Mountain, Lord Huntian began to command his men to build a new elevator.
At seven o'clock in the morning, it was just dawn and the new expedition group was ready.
There are two venerables traveling with the Salvation Sect, and together with all members of the sect’s vanguard, there are a total of 300 people. Jinxia Fang is led by Xia Fan, and its members include Her Royal Highness the Princess, Luo Qingqing, Li, Yan Qing and others. Qian, Olina and Shanhui stayed on the upper level to monitor the situation underground at any time.
Originally, Li Mengyun didn't want Li to appear in this team at all, but the fox demon insisted on acting with everyone no matter what. She could only do the next best thing and join Jinxia's team in the name of the person in charge, so that she could be there as soon as possible. Can see Li.
The first thirty floors went quite smoothly, or the shallow area of the patio was completely controlled by the Salvation Cult. Every five floors down here, there will be an outpost converted from a terrace, using cables and bells to monitor the evil movements in the well. As for the weapons used by believers to deal with evil spirits, they mainly include crossbows, kerosene and homemade bombs. Xia Fan noticed along the way that the other party was well trained. Even during the quiet period, they did not relax their vigilance. There were people watching at every sentry point, and the brazier used to start the fire was burning quite vigorously.
"There are experts here." Ning Wanjun made a judgment.
"Gulcha is a soldier who was born in the army." Li Mengyun heard the princess's murmur, "Before switching to the Salvation Cult, he was the commander-in-chief of an army and ranked in the rank of Qingjian."
"Are you talking about Venerable Huntian?" Xia Fan raised his eyebrows, "This name does not seem to be a common name in the Six Kingdoms."
"Indeed, he is of mixed Chinese and Western blood, but he was just born in Mao. During the Yong Dynasty, such an identity would not cause him any trouble, but the Privy Council after the split did not think so." Li Mengyun replied.
It seemed that these alchemists who joined the Salvation Cult each had their own secrets. He thought to himself that in a sense, this group of people was equivalent to a small Seven-Star Privy Council.
After reaching the 40th floor, the team could no longer advance through the corridors and outer corridors as before. The structure here was obviously damaged, and the floors collapsed severely, as if they had been crushed by some giant object.
They can only go deeper through external lifts.
These mechanisms are like tower cranes placed horizontally. The whole body is made of wood. Several gear sets and hemp ropes form a complete set of retractable and retractable devices. The winch needs to be turned manually to achieve the lifting and lowering movements. Compared with the new gadgets from the Mechanical Engineering Bureau, these lifts undoubtedly seem a bit backward.
Due to its limited carrying area, it can only transport ten people down at a time. Therefore, the team has to wait in line here and board different elevators according to the commander's command.
"What should we do if we are attacked by evil spirits at this time?" Ning Wanjun noticed the disadvantage immediately. There were only five elevators, and it would take at least an hour to transport a team of 300 people. If it is transported from bottom to top, it will only take more time. "The team may not have time to run back to the upper level."
