Ye Li looked around and found a stone door behind the platform. He thought that must be the exit.
After all, there is a maze above the underground palace, and people who have obtained the treasure will not have to go back through the maze, so the builders must have built a back door for people to leave.
Just as Ye Li was about to walk toward the back door, Tun Ri suddenly said, "Ye Li, don't rush to leave here. Let's go back up along the same route."
Ye Li was stunned, somewhat confused, and said: "Senior Tunri, isn't there a way out there? Why should we go back along the same route
The maze is so complicated that I can’t even remember the way here. I can only grope my way back slowly. I don’t know how long it will take to get back.”
Tunri shook his head and said, "Don't bother. You've fought countless battles with stone puppets along the way. Although the surrounding rock walls cannot be destroyed, they will still leave some scratch marks. You should be able to find the way back quickly by following these battle marks and retreat to the top."
After hearing this, Ye Li still didn't understand, so he asked, "Senior Tunri, why do we have to go back along the same route?"
Tunri said: "I am afraid that after you go out of this exit, you will not be able to return to this ruins, so I asked you to go back along the original route.
Do you still remember the enemy Siren we encountered above? I want you to go and look for it and see if you can get the Siren's Box."
Ye Li was startled when he heard this, and said, "What, go get the Siren's Box, then... can that thing be taken away as well?"
"Well, if you can find it, you can certainly get it.
Think about it, if you carry the Siren's Box with you, it is equivalent to having a helper at the peak of the Divine Phase. You should understand its effectiveness very well."
Tunri replied.
Ye Li understood it all at once, and his heart suddenly became hot.
“Hehe, of course I understand. I figured it out during our previous fight. It would be incredible if we could really get the Siren’s Box.
Not only can I use it, but when I don't need it anymore, I can give it to my family for use.
With the Ye family's limited strength, if a war really broke out, they would be completely unable to cope with it.
If they can be protected by the Siren's Box, at least ordinary second- and third-rank forces will not dare to touch them."
Ye Li said.
After rubbing his hands, Ye Li no longer hesitated and walked back the way he came. When he passed by the stone puppet, it indeed had no intention of attacking Ye Li, and everything around him seemed extremely peaceful.
Ye Li stepped back into the maze. Following the traces of battle he left along the way and some remaining memories, he quickly found the way back. It didn't take much time for him to retreat to the place where he killed Hai Tongtian and his five companions.
However, at this time, the corpse had completely disappeared, even the blood had disappeared without a trace. Except for some shallow traces of battle, nothing was left.
"What's going on? Where are these bodies?"
Ye Li couldn't help but say puzzledly.
“They must have been cleared away by this relic, just like the bodies at the door, they all sank into the ground.
Some ruins do have this effect, and can automatically clear away the corpses inside."
Tunri replied.
After Ye Li nodded doubtfully, he stopped pursuing the issue and walked up to the upper level, the first level of the underground palace.
The corpses here also disappeared. Although Ye Li did not kill that wretched man, Hai Tongtian and others behind him still dealt with him.
After all, the five people at the time didn't want anyone else to leave here. In this way, no one would know that they were the ones who got all the treasures in the ruins.
Ye Li walked to the place where the siren appeared before and took a look. There was nothing unusual, and the siren did not appear again to attack him.
"Look carefully around here, including the gaps between the bricks and stones underground, to see if there's anything unusual."
Tunri said to Ye Li.
After Ye Li nodded, he lay on the ground and began to search the ground inch by inch.
After spending almost half a day, Ye Li finally found some abnormalities at the base of a wall.
The surrounding bricks and stones are basically completely integrated together, with no gaps at all. Only here is a brick that seems to have a gap, and there is a hint of space between it and the other bricks and stones.
“This is it!”
Ye Li said uncertainly.
"Don't think too much, just get this brick out as soon as possible."
Tunri said to Ye Li.
Ye Li responded, and then waved his hand, releasing the power of the wood element. Countless vines as thin as hair grew out and drilled into the cracks in the bricks. This spell was actually an ordinary thorn spell, but under Ye Li's precise control, these thorns only grew to the thickness of a hair.
These thorns, as thin as hair, quickly bound up the entire brick and stone and tied it tightly.
Ye Li reached out and grabbed one end of the thorn and pulled hard.
A muffled "boom" sound was heard, and Ye Li actually pulled the brick out directly from the base of the wall.
After taking out the bricks and stones, the things hidden under the bricks and stones were revealed and appeared in front of Ye Li.
Sure enough, a strange blue box appeared behind the bricks.
This box is about the size of a human head and looks very strange. It is covered with rune marks and the opening of the box is locked.
On the lid of the box, there is a blue crystal as big as a human eye. It looks very beautiful. There is a phantom swimming inside it. But when you look closely, you can't see the appearance of the phantom at all.
“Oh right, this is the Soul Communication Pearl, which can be used to communicate with the Siren servants inside.
If you want to control the Siren, you must use this soul bead and inject your consciousness into it.
If you can drive away the consciousness of outsiders, you can take over this Siren Box and make it completely yours. "
Tunri said to Ye Li with excitement.
Ye Li was delighted when he heard this. He quickly reached into the bricks and stones, and pulled out the Siren's Box with force.
The moment he reached out to pull out the Siren's Box, Ye Li seemed to hear a shattering sound among the bricks and stones, as if something was broken.
Ye Li was stunned and said, "Just now there was a strong spiritual energy spreading out. Could it be that this Siren's Box is connected to the formation? Just now when I pulled it out, I destroyed the formation."
Tunri nodded and said, "I think that should be correct. Without the formation, it would be difficult for this Siren Box to gather enough power to activate.
He must have used up all his stored spiritual energy in the previous battle with you, so now he can only continue to absorb spiritual energy for next use."
