Touching that icy will, Qianye instantly felt as if he was in a vast icy ocean, surrounded by a vast expanse of wind, snow and violent waves. Compared with Qianye's will, it is like a solitary boat, which may capsize at any time.
It wasn't until the earth dragon's will went away that Qianye shivered. Before coming here, Qianye had expected the tyranny of the earth dragon, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, it was already close to the former sky ghost, and it was simply beyond the reach of ordinary gods. This is why Su Dingqian, who has occupied Lingang City for decades, guards the treasures empty-handed, but he can't get close to the dragon itself.
Although the ice-cold will went away, it still left waves of residual fluctuations in the cave. This is equivalent to the corner of the earth dragon's eyes. If one is not careful, the earth dragon may still be noticed.
"Let's go, from here on, you may encounter danger at any time." Qingyue made a gesture and walked forward.
After approaching the dragon's lair, the guide was replaced by Qingyue, and the two old men restrained their force, showing a little nervousness. When you get here, you have officially entered the earth dragon's lair, facing the will of the earth dragon all the time. Once it gets the attention of the earth dragon, it will be a disaster immediately. At this time, the higher the cultivation level, the more burden it will become. The earth dragon will not pay attention to the small bugs crawling on the ground, but it will not ignore the mice running around in the nest.
As she walked, Qingyue stopped and took out a strange instrument. There is a dial set on the surface of this instrument, and the hands on it are constantly swinging. At the end of the dial, there is a striking red area. Qingyue observed the movement of the pointer for a while, and seeing that it still hadn't entered the red zone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Dilong's emotions have eased, it seems that Spider Emperor and the others have successfully appeased the Dilong."
The two old men were obviously much more relaxed, but they were still covered in thin ice.
"From now on, it is possible to meet people over there." An old man reminded.
Avoiding strong people and avoiding fierce beasts are two different ways of thinking. For example, the two old men began to arrange some small things in inconspicuous corners. These are alarm devices, which are not lethal, but they can send out special fluctuations when someone passes by, thereby alerting the installer. Of course, if they can do this, so can the other party.
The speed of the four of them slowed down significantly, and they paid attention to every corner to see if there were any traps or traces left by the strong.
The further he went, the will fluctuations of the earth dragon began to gradually increase. Every time its will flashed by, the original force and blood in Qianye's body would be agitated. If it wasn't for Qianye's extremely pure original force and extremely high blood energy level, it would have been difficult to survive here, and he would either use his blood to hide, or be noticed by the earth dragon.
Including Qingyue, the three Gaohu people blocked their original force tightly, relying only on mechanical power to act. In this way, in the perception of the earth dragon, the life fluctuations of the three of them are extremely weak, not as good as ordinary beasts, so naturally they will not pay attention. In contrast, Qianye is the one with the most obvious bloodline strength.
After walking a few kilometers further, Qianye already felt that the situation was getting out of control. If he didn't use his bloodline to lurk, he might be noticed by the dragon. However, bloodline lurking is also one of Qianye's trump cards, and he is not willing to use it easily in front of outsiders. Otherwise, there will be targeted arrangements for dealing with Qianye's people in the future, or at least some precautions.
Just as Qianye was hesitating whether to use bloodlines to lurk, he suddenly saw a somewhat unnatural little thing out of the corner of his eye, and immediately grabbed Qingyue and pulled her to his side.
The two old men were shocked, but they both controlled and did not make a move. It's just that under the robe, there are several protrusions aimed at Qianye.
Qianye stretched out his hand and made a gesture of calmness, then pointed forward.
There was a pile of broken rocks in the direction of his finger, and a finger-length twig protruded from one of the unremarkable rocks. This twig is painted in a stone color, and even has rock patterns painted on it. At first glance, almost everyone will ignore it. If it weren't for Qianye's extraordinary vision, he could see all the details at a glance, and he wouldn't have noticed such a small thing.
Of course, a branch will not grow out of thin air on an ordinary stone. An old man with a tall beard walked lightly, carefully avoiding the direction of the branches, and then picked up the stone. He walked along the direction of the branch, walked to the other side of the passage, and gently put down the stone. When he came back, his breath was slightly heavy, obviously the move just now was not easy.
The old man immediately explained to Qianye. The stone was actually a rather ingenious alarm trap, with another receiving device pointing in the direction of the twig. This branch will continuously shoot out a burst of force, which will be received by the receiving device at the other end. Once the force signal is interrupted, the receiving device will explode, thus sounding the alarm.
Unlike the transmitting device, the receiving device is completely camouflaged, and it is impossible to know which one is a trap without knocking out the stones one by one. So the old man chose to move the transmitter and move out a passage, even if the trap was broken.
After listening, Qianye was quite impressed. This kind of alarm device is extremely ingeniously conceived, and if you are not careful, you will be hooked. If it weren't for Qianye's amazing pupil technique, even the Gaohu people would be fooled.
However, the appearance of the alarm device also reminded everyone that this place has reached the range of activities of Spider Emperor, Moonlight White Devil and other forces.
Qingyue took out a long silver needle, stretched out her finger and flicked it, and in Qianye's perception, a wave that was inaudible to human ears shot in all directions. This wave is very weak, but it is extremely penetrating, and it can pass through the rock wall that is not too thick.
There were echoes in several directions, and Qingyue listened attentively. On her right ear, she wears a strange device, which seems to be specially used for receiving echoes. She pointed in the direction of an echo, making a human gesture.
The four immediately restrained their breath and slowly touched in that direction. Not far away, a faint human voice came from ahead.
It was a naturally formed cave, and there were two guards standing at the door, chatting without saying a word.
One of the guards yawned and said, "I'm so bored. Lao Li, we won't be guarding here for a month, right? We can't even see a ghost."
"Do you want to go deep?"
"At least it won't be so boring, will it?"
Another guard snorted and said with a sneer: "Do you think that is a good job? The manager said that if half of the people who explore the earth dragon's lair can come out alive, it is considered good. I paid a lot of money for the manager to give it Such a position was arranged. If it weren't for the fact that you shared most of the expenses, how could you stand with me now."
The tall guard smiled apologetically: "Isn't the manager your own uncle? If you don't take care of you, who will you take care of? I'm just making excuses. But having said that, it's really unbearable to guard such a bunch of disgusting things every day for a long time."
"Being alive is better than anything else!"
When the tall guard said yes again and again, he suddenly saw that his companion's eyes were lost, and he fell down without a sound. At the same time, his waist was held up by a sharp weapon, and a low voice said in his ear: "If you don't want to die, don't move! "
The guard was not a staunch man at all, so he immediately raised his hands honestly and said again and again: "I will cooperate, I will cooperate!"
He did cooperate, and even lowered his voice so as not to disturb others.
Qingyue walked up to the guard and questioned her carefully. However, the guard's knowledge was limited. He was assigned to guard the cave not long after he entered with the group, and he didn't know anything else. It is the team that went underground together, and it is also one of many teams.
Seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions, Qingyue flashed a cold light in her hand, showed the dagger, and cut the guard's throat.
A few people walked into the cave, wanting to see what was inside. As soon as he entered the cave, a thick bloody smell rushed over his face. Qianye frowned, keenly feeling that this was a very fresh blood breath, and it was very strong, probably not the blood of ten or eight people.
He walked a few steps quickly and entered the cave, and his face suddenly became angry.
A stone platform was arranged in the center of the cave, about ten meters square, and several metal array disks were placed around the stone platform, forming a force array covering the entire stone platform. On the stone platform, there are piles of human corpses, probably hundreds of them. These corpses were cut into fine pieces, and the cutting technique was very particular, which could release the blood in their bodies to the maximum extent.
The blood of hundreds of people can already leach a pool of blood. But under the confinement of the original force array, all the blood did not flow out of the stone platform, as if blocked by a transparent wall. The temperature of the fresh blood was not high, but it kept boiling, and the remaining limbs and pieces of meat kept churning. In the center of the blood pool, a thin line of blood went straight upwards, sinking into the rock formation, and disappeared.
Qingyue and the two old men looked at each other and said, "So that's how it is."
"What's going on here?" Qianye asked. This altar of flesh and blood on the stone platform made him very uncomfortable to look at, and he couldn't help but think of the blood feast where the dark races ate human beings. He raised his sword and stepped forward to completely destroy the stone platform.
"No!" Qingyue hurriedly stopped Qianye.
Qianye looked at her, waiting for an explanation.
Qingyue said: "The altar of flesh and blood on this stone platform is the key for them to appease the earth dragon. Once it is destroyed, the will of the earth dragon will be stimulated not only to return to normal, but also to be more sensitive than usual. In that case, none of us will I want to get out alive!"
"Why?"
Qingyue pointed to the blood line in the center of the blood pool, and said, "Look, they built flesh and blood altars, and condensed blood essence through the force array to appease the will of the earth dragon. As long as enough flesh and blood altars are built, they will The earth dragon feels full. Once a giant void like the earth dragon is full, its willpower will decrease and it will enter a semi-sleep state. Only in this way can they take advantage of it and have the opportunity to get close to the earth dragon itself. "
Qianye looked at Qingyue and said meaningfully: "You know it really well."
Qingyue lowered her eyes, not in contact with Qianye's line of sight, and said lightly: "Don't forget, the ancestors of our clan once explored the earth dragon's lair, so they naturally know many secrets, and the method to appease the earth dragon is also among them. There are three ways to appease the will of the earth dragon, and the flesh and blood altar is just one of them."
"How did the Spider Emperor and the others know these secrets? Could it be that they are also assisted by the Gaohu people?"
