The ancient city formation continued to roar, replenishing the huge energy, and soon, the city gate was filled with forbidden light again.
When you feel that there is an outside force breaking into the ancient city, the ancient city formation is like an ancient beast that is about to awaken. It makes an angry buzzing sound and is about to prepare a strong counterattack to kill these outsiders.
Xia Chen remained calm, but his spiritual thoughts moved slightly and turned into millions of control filaments, entering the ancient city's formation.
Immediately, the restriction he once lurked in the ancient city's formation came into operation, and the formation gradually became calm.
Everyone was on guard in fear. If they entered the city and the ancient city formation attacked them, they would be like a turtle in a urn, unable to even run away, and would have to fight hard.
After a while, everyone was overjoyed to see that the ancient city formation had calmed down. They thought that the ancient city formation would only intercept people entering from the outside, but would not launch attacks from within.
Xia Chen secretly sneered. If he hadn't controlled the formation's operation, the monks from the three families would have paid a heavy price as soon as they entered the ancient city.
However, he suffered heavy casualties from the beginning, which was detrimental to his ability to seize the Nine-turn Linglong Pagoda, so it would be better to leave it as a backup. Thinking of the arrangement over the past six months and Tang Shiyan's help, Xia Chen couldn't help but feel confident.
Everyone turned around and looked towards the city. They saw simple and exquisite buildings, flowing fountains, bright gardens, lush trees... What appeared in front of them was an impeccable and picturesque scene.
The ancient city is filled with soft light. Although there is no sun, it is the same as daytime. I don’t know where this light comes from.
For a time, seeing this beautiful scenery, everyone's wariness could not help but relax to varying degrees, and they felt very comfortable and relaxed.
Of course, the ancestors of the three families and the elites of the family will not relax. Although the scenery here is picturesque and the spring is bright, it is very strange. It is obviously full of vitality, but there is no sign of any life.
According to common sense, it is right that there is no life in the ancient city, but the true expression should be lifeless. It should not be full of life in any case.
This is most likely an illusion.
Yue Bufan and the three of them each used their magical powers to pour into their eyes and look into the distance. However, everything they saw was real, and there was no trace of illusion. Everything about this vitality was obviously real.
The three of them were very wary. The so-called abnormal things are monsters. There is something weird in the secret place of this ancient city. But it is definitely not a good thing.
The three of them looked at each other, although there was no friendly intention in their eyes. However, after the exchange of spiritual thoughts, they still decided to join forces for the time being and not to break up and fight.
"The children of the Chu family must obey the order. No one is allowed to touch any plant or tree in the ancient city without permission." Chu Tianying turned around and ordered sternly.
Everyone in the Chu family was looking curiously, and they all responded immediately after hearing the words. Yue Bufan and Fang Zhenghua also gave the same orders to their own children and subordinates.
Afterwards, everyone walked forward cautiously and slowly. Although they were all monks with three levels of supernatural power or above, no one dared to fly in the air. In a secret realm like this, there is most likely a powerful air defense ban in the sky. If it is unlucky enough to trigger
, but there was no time to even cry.
"Uh..." A sound that seemed to be a groan, a sigh, or a sound like talking in sleep suddenly came from the depths of the ancient city.
Immediately, everyone stopped and their expressions changed slightly.
The sound was like a dream, and for a moment, it was impossible to tell whether it was ringing in the ears or in the heart. Moreover, after the sound passed, everyone felt as if they were in a trance.
"This is a phantom sound. There is something strange in this city. Let's raise our spiritual thoughts and protect our minds to avoid being eroded by illusions." Yue Bufan shouted loudly.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and their just relaxed mood was lifted again. They followed the ancestors of each family with full vigilance, not daring to make any mistakes.
Xia Chen was also shocked. His senses were extremely sharp and he realized that the sound just now was not a false phantom sound, but a real sound.
Just like a ferocious beast peeking at its prey, it couldn't help but make a low drooling sound.
"Sister Shiyan, did you hear that? Was that voice just now a phantom voice? Why do I feel that it doesn't sound like a human being, but a monster instead." He looked solemn and whispered with his spiritual thoughts.
"It's not a phantom sound, nor a human being, nor a monster. This ancient city seems to have existed for at least thousands of years. No monks or monsters can live for such a long time. I can't tell what it is. Anyway, be careful." Tang Shiyan
Dai Mei frowned slightly and said softly.
"I feel like something is spying on us?" Xia Chen frowned.
"I feel the same way." Tang Shiyan nodded, "But the existence of Peeping should not be strong yet, or there are some restrictions or purposes, otherwise it can just go out and kill, there is no need to pretend to be a ghost."
Xia Chen nodded, deeply convinced.
He glanced at Chu Tianying who was walking at the front calmly, and followed him calmly.
Not long after everyone moved forward, a ferocious figure suddenly passed by not far from the city gate.
It lurked in the corner, like a vague shadow, with a fierce green light shining from its two ferocious eyes. It looked in the direction where everyone was leaving. After a while, it disappeared with a swoosh.
Everyone moved forward slowly and cautiously. Although the progress was quite slow, they did not encounter any obstacles. After more than half an hour, they had entered the ancient city more than ten miles deep.
There are no special landscapes inside the ancient city. There are still various buildings, scenery, gardens and sculptures, which are exactly what a city should look like.
The doors of those buildings were slightly closed, exposing the dark cracks in the doors, but even with the spiritual mind, they couldn't see clearly what was inside. People didn't know the depth, so naturally they didn't dare to go and visit at will.
Hua Hua Hua... the sound of flowing water is endless. It is a small stream, and the water is gurgling like a river surrounding the city.
Everyone saw this stream when they entered the city gate. Although there were no fish, insects, or tadpoles in the stream, it was crystal clear. It has been meandering with them all the way here. They don't know where the stream is going, and they don't know.
Where is the source.
Although I don’t know how long the ancient city has existed, it has existed for at least a thousand years. Not to mention the stream, even the stones must have rotted away. Why is there still a stream?
Everyone had a strange feeling, but they still suppressed their curiosity and did not go to investigate. The ancient city was very strange, so it was better to seize the time to explore the treasure and leave here as soon as possible.
"This stream is a bit weird... Xia Chen, take a few drops here when you have time, but be sure not to let the stream touch your mind. I'll identify it and it might be useful." Tang Shiyan suddenly said.
"Yes, Sister Shi Yan." Xia Chen naturally agreed.
After walking for a while, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and a tangy medicinal fragrance came to their nostrils, and they couldn't help but feel refreshed.
I saw a medicinal garden with an area of tens of acres in front of me, with red flowers and green willows in various colors. It was full of mature elixirs, and the rich medicinal fragrance came from the medicinal garden.
Seven-hearted Begonia, Purple Blue Zhuoyu, Nine-grade Xiangzhi, Snow Mountain Red...
Not only the disciples and subordinates with the third and fourth levels of supernatural powers showed eagerness and greed on their faces, but even the second-generation monks from the three families with the fifth level of supernatural powers couldn't help but have their eyes gleaming.
These medicinal materials are all extremely rare elixirs from heaven and earth. The worst ones are also used to refine middle-grade elixirs. There are also several elixirs that no one can name. They are so fragrant and fragrant that you can tell at a glance.
Unparalleled treasure.
Every time the elixir spreads, it will cause countless high-level monks to fight for it, causing a bloody storm.
Even if it's just to seize these elixirs and precious materials, a trip to this ancient city's secret realm is completely worth it.
Even Xia Chen couldn't help but move his eyes.
Although his level is low, he is an out-and-out master of elixirs. He has been accumulating in the past few years. There are countless rare elixirs in the storage space, and there are hundreds of rare elixirs left by Han Dongyu.
It's a rich family.
But even so, when he saw this small medicine garden, Xia Chen couldn't help but get excited, thinking about how to put all the medicine gardens into a cornucopia.
In the storage space, whether it is medicine or materials, there will never be a possibility of spiritual energy leaking out. Even as Xia Chen's cultivation becomes stronger, there will be vitality nourishment, and the texture of the spiritual medicine will only become better with time.
.
Along the way, he had seen it with his voyeuristic eyes. This medicine garden was also not an illusion. It was definitely a genuine elixir that had been growing for thousands of years.
Everyone's breathing suddenly became much heavier. Although no one dared to step forward without the order of the ancestor, they could not help but look at each other with a bit more hostility.
It seems that these medicinal materials are already in the bag, and if someone else takes them, it is like taking away their own lifeblood.
Chu Tianying and the other three were quite calm. They only glanced at the medicine garden and then looked up together.
I could see dazzling lights flickering from dozens of high places on the medicine garden.
This light can be found everywhere in the secret realm of the lonely city. Although there is no sun, the ancient city is as bright as day. This nameless light plays a huge role.
The seemingly ordinary light actually made the expressions of the three ancestors with the sixth level of magical power become solemn.
"Sure enough, there is no free lunch. If you go to get the elixir now, I'm afraid you will be attacked by this hidden formation, and you won't even know how you died." Fang Zhenghua stared at the light and said slowly.
Formation? Everyone was shocked. They followed the gazes of the three ancestors, but all they saw was dizziness. There was no formation anywhere.
"Although this formation is hidden, it is not in the eyes of you and me. Chu Tianying, what do you think?" Yue Bufan said calmly, but glanced at Chu Tianying.
Chu Tianying naturally understood what he meant, and smiled quietly: "This is the first benefit of the secret realm of the ancient city. The formation to protect the medicine garden is not dangerous. There must be better things to come. Of course I don't want to do this.
Why don't the three of us work together to break the protective formation, then divide the medicine garden into three equal parts, and each of you and I will take one share, what do you think?"
Fang Zhenghua said lightly: "You are self-aware, but if you want to go to war, if our Fang and Yue families work together, you won't even be able to catch a hair out of it."
Chu Tianying glanced at him and actually didn't get angry: "That's not necessarily the case. I just don't want to fight to the death before I see the last thing."
