ground
As the cultivator's voice rang out, Yang Qi and the others all looked at the cultivator who exclaimed. They had limited clones, and it would be a waste if they tried using clones again. Naturally, they could only hope that the cultivator had noticed something.
"What's strange about the ground?" Li Xuan asked hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, the cultivator did not hide anything and spoke directly, "The ground contains a strong aura of death. Once the body touches the ground, it will be corroded by the aura of death and the vitality will be killed instantly."
What
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed instantly. The ground contained a strong aura of death. Would anyone who touched the ground be killed
The death energy in the dead zone is indeed terrifying, but the erosion of this death energy is gradual, just like the erosion of toxins. It is a process, and it is far from being killed instantly. Even the Martial Emperor Realm cannot react.
Before entering the dead zone, everyone could even enter the dead zone directly without any defense. Of course, if they did so, the dead energy would corrode them severely, and they would have to use the elixir to restore vitality to remove the dead energy accumulated in their bodies. Therefore, everyone used the means of the way of time and space to isolate the erosion of the dead energy. In the final analysis, it was to prevent the dead energy from corroding and accumulating in their bodies. However, the dead energy here could actually kill practitioners instantly, which was a bit too scary.
Lin Xian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "No, if the death energy on the ground is so dense that it can easily kill a high-level Martial Emperor clone, it is impossible for us not to be able to detect it at all."
As they traveled along the way, the corrosive power of the dead energy was constantly increasing, and Yang Qi and others were deeply impressed by this. If the dead energy on the ground was really that strong, even if they used the means of time and space to isolate the dead energy, it would be impossible to be completely insensitive.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed as he looked at the ground of the temple, and he slowly said, "Not necessarily. There is another possibility!"
Is there another possibility
Hearing Yang Qi's words, everyone was stunned and looked at Yang Qi with confusion. Could it be that Yang Qi had thought of something
Whoosh~
Suddenly, Yang Qi moved his hand, and a sharp sword energy shot out from his hand and landed directly on the ground a thousand feet away.
Poof!
The sword energy fell and directly penetrated the ground. As the power of the sword energy exploded, wisps of gray-black liquid splashed out from the ground broken by the sword energy.
"That is..."
Looking at the splashing gray-black liquid, everyone's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly. They were too familiar with that gray-black liquid.
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and slowly uttered two words, "Dead air!"
That's right, what was splashing was death energy, and it was liquefied death energy. The corrosive power of gaseous death energy is already very terrifying, so one can imagine the corrosive power of liquid death energy.
Yang Qi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, the ground beneath our feet is not the real ground at all. This is a lake formed by the liquefied death energy. Because of the dissipation of the power of the temple formation, the liquefied death energy formed a semi-solid shell. This is the origin of the ground beneath our feet!"
Gurgle!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone swallowed subconsciously. The ground where they were standing was actually formed by the condensation of death energy, which means that they were actually standing on the death energy!
No matter whether it was the clone that was killed while exploring the way before, or the clone that was killed while testing, they were all killed instantly. Once there was any change in the death energy under their feet, they would most likely have no way out.
"How about we step back a little and think of a solution later?" a cultivator asked cautiously.
They are not afraid of death, but that does not mean they want to die. Now that they have found the temple and have hope of leaving, they cannot die easily. They must at least explore some useful information.
Hearing this, Yang Qi shook his head slightly and said, "That's not necessary. The ground here should be more solid than the ground around the temple. As long as we don't withdraw the means of the Way of Time and Space, we won't be corroded by the dead air on the ground."
"How do you know?"
A cultivator frowned slightly upon hearing this and looked in the direction of Yang Qi.
"Have you seen the downstream of the river?" Yang Qi said calmly.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then looked at Yang Qi in confusion. What does this deathly aura have to do with the downstream of the river
"River water carries mud and sand, which washes out mudflats in the lower reaches of the river. Similar mudflats will also form near lakes. These mudflats are land." Yang Qi paused here, then looked towards the temple and said, "The situation near the temple is the same. The temple's formation disperses and suppresses the dissipated death energy. A lake where death energy gathers is formed near the temple, and the area outside the temple's formation is a mudflat. The ground formed by the death energy here is much more solid. As long as we don't deliberately destroy it, there will be no danger."
I see!
After hearing this, everyone immediately understood what Yang Qi meant, and they also knew that what Yang Qi said was correct. They were still outside the range of the Death Qi Temple to dispel the death qi, and it was indeed safer here, and there would be no random eruption of death qi.
Li Xuan looked in the direction of the temple, frowned slightly and said, "Although we are not in danger for the time being, how do we get to the temple?"
The area covered by the temple array was a no-fly zone. They could not fly over it at all, and could only walk over it. According to Yang Qi, the area near the temple was a liquid lake formed by the gathering of death energy. According to previous explorations, this lake would erupt death energy from time to time, and they had no power to resist it. Unless they were extremely lucky and did not encounter death energy eruption all the way to the temple, anyone present who encountered death energy eruption would have only one end, and that was death!
After Li Xuan finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Now they knew why the clone was easily killed and why the ground moved, but what was the use of knowing these? What they needed now was a way to get to the temple!
"If it doesn't work, let's just try our luck. There are so many of us, I don't believe that in the end there won't be even one success." A practitioner said gritting his teeth.
Hearing this, Yang Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is the last resort. Now is not the time to try our luck. What we need to do now is to observe and try our best to observe the surroundings, hoping to find the cause of the death energy eruption. Only in this way can we find a way to deal with it."
"Brother Yang is right. We have already walked to the front of the temple. There is no need to rush. We still have time to find a solution." As soon as Yang Qi finished speaking, Li Xuan on the side could not help but agree.
Now they are not at a dead end, there is no need to try to reach the temple by luck, there is plenty of time and opportunity to continue trying and find a way to reach the temple safely. (To be continued)
