The cold pool was cold, and everyone immediately felt bitingly cold when they entered it.
Follow Luo Zhu and swim straight downstream.
The weakest of all have reached the Supreme level. At this level, it is not a problem to hold one's breath in the water for twenty or thirty minutes.
Although Zhao Feiwu was not strong enough, he did not feel suffocated with Jin Conghai on his side constantly instilling Qi and forming a Qi shield to protect him.
All the way down, you can still see the situation in front of you with the help of the sunlight projected from the water at first. As you go deeper, you can't see your fingers and it's completely dark.
Luo Zhu was prepared. He took out several luminous pearls and gave one to each of them. Under the warm light, the underwater world appeared clearly before his eyes.
This pool, because it was too cold, had no life. I kept going downstream until I reached a depth of about seventy or eighty meters. I finally saw the ground covered with a variety of dark-colored aquatic plants.
Unable to speak underwater, Luo Zhu waved to everyone, followed the familiar road, slowly moved forward along the ground full of water plants, and soon came to the rock wall.
It's a smooth stone wall that doesn't look special. If you don't know about the Shaman Soul Tomb, you won't find anything when you get there.
Turning his wrist, he took out a smooth stone plate. Luo Zhu fumbled on the wall for a while, found the right position, and fastened it on it.
Squeak!
As if a certain mechanism was activated, the wall slowly opened. This seemingly intact stone wall was actually alive.
“What exquisite craftsmanship!”
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
The mechanism is carved out of stone, with no cracks visible on the surface. Although the craftsmanship is not as good as the previous Tiangong Machinery Box, it is far superior to many treasures I have seen before.
It seems that the craftsmen who built this Tomb of Shaman Souls are of a high level, reaching the Jiu Mo level at worst.
Legend has it that the machine puppets created by the Jiu Mo craftsmen are difficult to tell the authenticity of the powerful ones in the Mortal Realm. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
No wonder Luo Zhu was confident that no one would find this place except him. It was really difficult to find such a secret place.
The stone wall opened, and a portal appeared in front of him. Luo Zhu walked in first.
There is a special waterproof mechanism inside the door, which allows life to enter, but water cannot enter. As soon as everyone stepped inside, they felt the air flowing inside, and they did not feel stuffy at all.
"This is the passage to the Shaman Soul Tomb. At the end, there is the tomb!"
After seeing everyone come in, the stone wall automatically closed, Luo Zhu said.
"Yeah!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Everyone looked at it with curiosity.
It is a long and slender corridor with various murals carved on both sides. Many of them are sacrificial rituals for Shaman Souls. Under the illumination of the night pearl, it looks particularly strange.
"Don't rush around yet. There are very powerful mechanisms in this corridor. You need to test it step by step before you can enter!"
It seemed that he was very familiar with environments such as ancient tombs. Luo Zhu grabbed the air and saw two child-sized puppets in front of him.
It should be something he has specially prepared these days.
He took out two spirit stones and put them into them. The puppets walked forward along the passage one after the other.
Creak! Creak!
The first puppet took less than three steps when a sound of wind sounded, followed by a crisp sound and it exploded into pieces.
Everyone's pupils shrank.
The puppet Luo Zhu just took out was made of special materials and was extremely hard. Not to mention other things, even with Jin Conghai's strength, it would be very troublesome to break it in one go.
And the unknown mechanism in front of him exploded directly. If he hadn't been vigilant just now and stopped everyone, he wouldn't have died long ago once he rushed over
For a moment, cold sweat broke out.
It is indeed the weirdest profession. This Shaman Soul Tomb is indeed unusual.
If Master Zhang hadn't solved the matter of seizing the soul and allowed the other party to bring them here, they might have been destroyed before they even entered.
Creak! Creak!
While everyone was shocked, the second puppet was attacked and exploded to pieces just like the first one.
"Within five steps, there are two mechanisms that can kill people. I will lead the way now and mark the location of where the soles of my feet will land. You must follow closely and make no mistakes, otherwise... I cannot guarantee safety!"
Luo Zhu explained with a solemn face.
"Okay!" Everyone knew this and nodded at the same time.
call!
Luo Zhu cautiously took a step forward. As soon as he stepped in, he heard the roar of the wind, and a ray of light passed by him not far away. It seemed that if he was hit, he would be seriously injured even if he was not dead.
However, with the puppet exploring the path just now, I was prepared in advance and was not injured.
"This is... a formation?" Seeing the dangers in the passage, Pavilion Master Sai didn't quite understand and looked over.
There are dangers everywhere. Could there be a powerful killing array set up here
If this is the case, wouldn't it be much easier to find a way to break it with Master Zhang's understanding of the battle method
"No!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
If it was a formation, he could definitely feel the spiritual energy fluctuations in it, find the core by the way, and kick it to stop, but unfortunately... this was obviously not the case.
"The Tomb of Soul Shamans is most wary of not humans, but soul-eating ants. Formations are useless against soul-eating ants... Therefore, there shouldn't be any formations here. If I'm not mistaken, they should be some special mechanisms!"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan analyzed.
The natural enemy of the Shaman Soul is the soul-eating ant. When building a tomb, it is natural to guard against such things. Soul-eating ants can swallow the spiritual energy in the formation and stop the formation directly. If the formation is really arranged, it will have no effect and is not as effective as the mechanism.
Everyone nodded.
"If it's an agency, it would be troublesome. None of us are familiar with tricks. If there is a Tiangong master here, it will be much easier!" Sai Pavilion Master frowned.
"Tiangong Master?" Sun Qiang and others looked at him.
Zhang Xuan never mentioned this profession, and they didn't know much about it either.
"Yes, the Tiangong Master, also known as the Artificer, is a low-level profession. He is good at designing these ingenious things. They seem to be ordinary items. They can contain sword energy and martial arts in them. Once opened, they will be infinitely powerful. !Many strong men cannot resist it.”
Pavilion Master Sai explained: "This profession also has a specialized organization called Tiangongyuan. It specializes in designing the most wonderful weapons and mechanisms in the world. But... I have also read about this profession in books, and we in the Alliance of All Nations do not have it. , it is said that only the Huanyu Empire is qualified to build a branch.”
"In this profession, the designed things are very precise. If you don't know the principles, it will be really difficult to pass!"
Zhang Xuan nodded and frowned.
He was well aware of the complexity of the Tiangong Machinery Box. Without the Tiandao Library, it would be impossible to open it knowing the flaws.
A small box is so exquisitely designed. If someone like this really intervenes in this corridor, the danger will be greater than imagined.
Phew!
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of a knife blade entering his flesh. Then he saw Luo Zhu's face turned red and he stepped back. His arm was cut by something and he was bleeding profusely.
"Are you okay?"
Jin Conghai and others came to help him stop the wound.
"It's okay!" Luo Zhu shook his head: "The mechanism of this passage seems to be more difficult to walk through than before..."
"It's harder to walk? How long is this passage? How long did it take you to get to the end?" Zhang Xuan looked over.
"It's about three hundred meters in total. The last time I came here, I tried a little bit with the help of a puppet. It took me about four days to reach the end!"
Luo Zhu frowned: "However, this kind of mechanism, like the formation, is different every time you enter it. The experience last time is completely useless this time. Otherwise, I will not be injured..."
"Been gone for four days?" Zhang Xuan was speechless.
It took four days to walk about 300 meters, which was indeed too difficult.
"Yes, but if you don't walk slowly, there is really nothing you can do. The sword energy contained in the passage mechanism has reached at least the fourth level of mortal transformation, and some have even reached the fifth level. If you can't avoid it in advance, once you encounter it, , he will be cut in two on the spot, and he will die without knowing how!”
Luo Zhu shook his head.
"The fourth level of Mortal Mortal Peak Sword Qi?" Everyone was stunned.
When I saw the puppet being killed directly, I knew that the sword energy emitted around me was terrifying, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Such a narrow passage cannot be resisted or defended. If it were to be stabbed by such a powerful sword energy, I am afraid that even the fourth level peak mortal might not be able to survive.
"We can only explore step by step, is there no other way?"
Zhao Feiwu also frowned.
"No! The mechanism left by the Tiangong Master is extremely complex and constantly changing. If you don't know the rules of change, it will be difficult to pass." Luo Zhu shook his head.
"How about destroying the mechanism of this passage?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
The formation can be stopped. If we can find the switch or the crux of this mechanism, we should be able to destroy it.
"destroy?"
Luo Zhu smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy. What the Tiangong Master left behind is just like the waterwheel. It keeps turning. Even if you have seen the drawings and don't know the principle, it is of no use. After all, it is a very powerful one. The profession is the same as the formation. It can be broken so easily, so it won’t make people afraid!”
The mechanism is the same as the formation. Even if you have seen the drawings and don't know the principle of operation, it will still be useless.
Because the mechanism is constantly rotating, if you don't know anything about this profession, let alone destruction, it's hard to say whether you can survive.
"Yes, Tiangongshi, what's scary here is that they can use machinery to combine into some items that can kill people, and these items don't need spiritual stones to activate... If I read it correctly, all the items in this passage The power generated by the mechanism is provided by the waterfall above. If I don’t know the principle, even if I have a compass, I can’t find the location!”
Pavilion Master Sai nodded.
The compass can locate the direction of spiritual energy, check the strength of the formation, and find ways to find weaknesses, but... the mechanism does not use spiritual stones, but physical power, for example: using the waterfall above to provide power...
How can it be broken
Seeing the two men shaking their heads and analyzing, everyone's expressions were gloomy. They no longer had the excitement they had just arrived before. Seeing the low morale, Zhang Xuan shook his head and said.
"If you can't find it with the compass, it doesn't mean you can't find it by other means. Don't worry, I'll give it a try!"
After saying that, everyone saw him smile faintly, put his palm on the ground of the passage, and touched it lightly.
