Boom boom boom!
The deafening sound lasted for a long time, and the ground with a radius of hundreds of feet was cracked inch by inch, and the huge body of the Steel-toothed Crocodile King continued to sink.
Ye Feng and others looked stunned, somewhat unable to understand the crazy behavior of the Steel-toothed Crocodile King.
The roar did not last long. With the continuous bombardment, a huge hole suddenly opened in the ground. As the instigator, the Steel-toothed Crocodile King obviously did not expect this. After letting out a miserable cry, the hole collapsed together with the surrounding large areas of soil. middle.
"The underground is actually empty?" Huang Yao suddenly woke up, looking at the forest entrance that suddenly appeared below, and exclaimed.
The cave was pitch black and silent, and there was no sound of the steel-toothed Crocodile King hitting the bottom of the cave for a long time.
Ye Feng's pupils shrank, and his figure slowly landed on the edge of the cave entrance. His eyes were blessed by spiritual power and he looked into the cave carefully.
With the help of spiritual power, Ye Feng's field of vision was greatly improved, and he could see things in the dark, but no matter how hard he tried, he could never see the end of the hole.
However, he soon noticed that underneath the huge cave was a straight cylindrical passage. The walls of the passage were not made of earth, but some kind of solid stone.
The cave wall seemed to have been polished manually and was as smooth as a mirror. On one side of the cave wall, there were several more conspicuous marks, leading straight to the depths of the passage.
The marks looked relatively new, and Ye Feng guessed that they were formed when the steel-toothed crocodile beast fell into the tunnel and tried to climb onto it.
Huang Yao, Chengze and others also gathered around the entrance of the cave and carefully looked at the scene inside the cave.
Although they were unable to bless spiritual power, they could slightly increase their field of vision with the help of Yuan Power. Even if it was not as far-reaching as what Ye Feng saw, they could still see the general appearance of this underground passage.
"No matter how powerful the Steel-tooth Crocodile King is, it is impossible to dig such a passage!" Huang Yao said solemnly.
Zong Nan murmured: "And this passage is obviously not naturally formed, I'm afraid it is the entrance to an underground palace!"
"Underground palace?" Ye Feng frowned and asked, "Have you ever heard of similar legends?"
"That's not true. The Prancing Horse Plains existed thousands of years ago." Although Huang Yao has extensive knowledge, he has never heard that there are some ancient ruins on the Prancing Horse Plains.
Before this, he would never have thought that there was such a cylindrical underground passage with a diameter of nearly a hundred feet under the inaccessible Prancing Horse Plain.
"Could it be?" Ye Feng suddenly raised his head and looked at the people around him, his pupils flashing with strange light. "Is this the secret that all the gangsters from all over the world are gathering here and Lanxi Villa is trying to protect at all costs?"
"Although it is possible, if Lanxi Villa wants to keep this secret, why did they specially transfer us here?" Zong Nan asked doubtfully.
"They claim that there are fewer bandits in the northeast and can be exterminated by them personally, but they transferred us here. Obviously they don't know the existence of this passage, and if it weren't for the steel-toothed crocodile king who was angered by us and bombarded the ground like crazy , we will never discover this passage." Huang Yao said.
"In this case, there are only two possibilities." Ye Feng said with a complicated expression, "The secret discovered by Lanxi Villa is not this underground passage, but perhaps another ancient ruins, or they discovered a similar underground passage. The passage is just two underground passages connecting the same place?"
Ye Feng's idea is extremely bold, because the entire Prancing Horse Plain is too vast. There are two underground passages, one in the northwest and one in the southeast. If they really lead to the same place, then where should the mysterious underground palace that may exist underground be? How huge.
Everyone looked at the depths of the passage, their hearts fluctuating, appearing both nervous and excited.
Lanxi Villa has to keep this secret despite huge risks. The bandits from the entire Shenwu Continent have gathered here, probably because this secret fell into the hands of the bandits for unknown reasons.
"Junior brother Ye, what are your next plans? With our current cultivation level, we can only stay suspended in the air for a short time. If we jump down rashly, we will probably fall to death." Huang Yao licked his dry lips. road.
The Shenwu Continent is vast and has an extremely long history. Since the birth of mankind, it has gone through countless eras. Until today, there are tens of thousands of ancient ruins excavated by warriors from all over the world, many of which are unprecedented. It is not uncommon to see ancient treasures, and because of the discovery of a ruins, many ordinary warriors who were originally unknown have their strength skyrocketed overnight, their cultivation soared to the sky, and they became world-famous big shots.
Seeing such a good thing happening in front of him, how could Huang Yao not be moved.
Ye Feng frowned and said nothing. Huang Ge, like Cheng Ze, had a red face and an excited expression.
Zong Nan, like Ye Feng, seemed calmer and said thoughtfully: "Lanxi Villa would rather spend a huge amount of Yuan Jing and take great risks to protect this secret. It can be seen that they have already found out some of the information. Maybe, Blue Brook Villa moved us away just to attract the attention of the bandits, so that they could take this opportunity to go deep inside. If this underground passage really leads to the secret place, we might have a fight with Blue Brook Villa. People meet!"
"We bumped into each other. Are we still afraid of them?" Huang Yao said coldly. He didn't have the slightest fondness for Lanxi Villa.
"In normal times, the people in Lanxi Villa may be wary of the identity behind us, but now this is their territory after all, and it is underground. After all, Lanxi Villa is a human-level sect, and there are many masters in the villa. How can we, the outer disciples of the Tianji Sect, compete with them? Moreover, once they find us underground, they will immediately take action and kill us all. Even if the elders of the sect ask, they can blame the bandits. .”
Hearing this, Huang Yao's face changed slightly. Before setting off, they had met many masters from Lanxi Villa who were at least at the Gangwu realm. The owner of Lanxi Villa, Lan Yunfeng, was at the Xuanwu realm. With the strength of the martial saint, he can easily kill them with a raise of his hands.
"According to what you say, do we have to give up here?" Huang Yao said with some displeasure.
"It seems that we have no choice but to return to Tianji Sect first and report the matter to the senior officials of the sect." Zong Nan said helplessly.
"No!" Ye Feng, who had not spoken for a long time, flatly refused, "I think you and I both know how far the Prancing Horse Plain is from Tianji Sect. If we change our minds temporarily and suddenly make a request to return to the sect, what do you think of Lanxi Villa? Will you still lend us the suspended boat? Without the suspended boat, it will take at least more than a month to return to Tianji Sect. By then, the underground relics may have been looted by Lanxi Villa. Even if the masters from the sect arrive, they will not be able to return to Tianji Sect. I’m afraid my work will be in vain!”
Zong Nan was stunned when he heard this. Among everyone, he was the most cautious. Although the temptation of treasures from underground ruins was hard to resist, he cherished his own life more. For him, even his life could not be saved, no matter how good the rare treasure was. What is the use.
Huang Yao said: "Junior Brother Zhou is right. If we return to the sect now, we may not be able to get anything. It is better to have this way. Junior Brother Zong leads other disciples back to the sect, and those who are willing to take risks stay!"
"This..." Zong Nan was hesitant for a moment. If he returned to the sect, his life would be safe, but this opportunity he finally encountered would pass by.
"Brother, in the martial arts, the most important thing is to retreat in the face of battle. What's more, the people of Lanxi Villa are in the northwest of the entire Prancing Horse Plain. Even if the two passages lead to the same underground ruins, they may not necessarily be able to meet each other. When the time comes, we will be able to meet each other. You can be more careful. Besides, Brother Zhou also has the Soul Refining Cauldron to strengthen his soul thoughts. He can detect the surrounding situation. If there is any change, we will hide." After the battle in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, the relationship between Cheng Ze and Zong Nan has changed. They have become much more harmonious, and he doesn't want his friend to miss this extremely rare opportunity.
"Okay, I'll go down with you!" Zong Nan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Everyone has the same opinion. The next step is to find a way to enter this underground passage.
With everyone's current cultivation level, it is not difficult to use Yuan Power to alleviate the tendency of falling. However, if the passage is too deep, they will not be able to reach the bottom of the passage even if they use up their Yuan Power, and they will fall to death inside.
"The Steel-toothed Crocodile King is still down there. Its defense is extremely strong, so it shouldn't be so easy to fall to death. If it is also killed, we won't have to go down." Huang Yao said with a bitter smile.
"I have a way!" Ye Feng thought for a moment and then threw a small round cauldron!
It is the Four-Yuan Universe Cauldron.
"Isn't this the Soul Refining Cauldron? Does Brother Zhou want to use this object to explore this passage?" Huang Yao was shocked.
"This is just one of its abilities!" Ye Feng didn't say much. He pinched his fingers and performed several tricks in succession.
Wisps of silver beams flew out from Ye Feng's fingertips. These beams were the spiritual power stored in his Niwan Palace.
The Four-Yuan Universe Cauldron suspended in the air greedily absorbed the spiritual power produced by Ye Feng, and immediately buzzed and rotated in the air.
After a moment, the light on the surface of the round tripod flourished, rising in the storm, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was shrouded in shadow.
Looking at the huge round cauldron above their heads, Huang Yao and others' breathing was stagnant, and they were so shocked that they could hardly speak.
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, it seems that my guess is correct. The function hidden in the second formation of this cauldron is quite similar to the floating treasure weapon used by Tianji Sect to assess its disciples.
Ever since he falsely called the Four-Yuan Universe Cauldron the Soul Refining Cauldron and used it openly, Ye Feng has been studying the second method of this cauldron.
When he first broke through the first level of storage array, his immortal cultivation was only at the second level of Qi refining. Now his immortal cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi refining. Both spiritual power and spiritual thoughts are far beyond the previous level. .
For three consecutive days, Ye Feng led everyone to search for traces of other sect disciples on the Prancing Horse Plains, while constantly studying how to crack the second level formation.
It was not until today that Ye Feng completely destroyed the second sealing formation of the cauldron and successfully activated the second power of the Four-Yuan Qiankun Cauldron.
After the formation was broken, Ye Feng never had the chance to try to use it. At this moment, facing the ancient treasure that might exist underground, Ye Feng no longer hid it. He simply sacrificed the Four-Yuan Universe Cauldron directly in front of everyone, and used it in front of everyone. The second level of power is displayed.
"With the help of this cauldron, we should be able to pass through this underground passage easily!"
With a slight jump, Ye Feng landed on the cauldron cover and said to the people below with a smile.
"Floating treasure, this is actually a floating treasure!" Cheng Ze muttered to himself, his mind completely in a trance!
