The formation at the stone altar gradually became calmer, and the crazy sucking force dissipated.
In the center of the original stone altar, there is now a hole with a diameter of about one meter.
Tsukitaki tentatively threw a stone into the pothole, but nothing happened. Only a deep and ethereal falling sound was heard.
The hole was very deep, and the sound of falling stones lasted for a long time, but there was no sound of falling to the ground.
The soul consciousness is directed towards it, and it is completely bottomless, as if it is impossible to explore the edge;
In the pit, there was a faint aura of formation fluctuations coming back.
This feeling was as if the previous formation of stone altars had fled deep into the ground like frightened soul beasts.
Yue Yan looked at the changes in the stone altar area, deduced in her mind, and frowned;
Seeing that Yue Taki is about to get closer, he will further check the formation;
He couldn't help but stop him and took him to one side.
Before speaking, Yue Yan glanced at Li Taiyuan and Cang Lan in the distance again, and saw that the two of them were trying their best to regain their strength. They were so absorbed in concentration that they didn't pay attention to the movements on their side. Just now, they said to Yue Long:
"How's the injury?"
There was a hint of seriousness in his voice with concern.
Tsukitaki smiled casually, "It's not a problem, I can only recover for half a moment at most."
Yue Yan's face softened a lot when he heard this, and he said seriously: "Tell me, why do you do this?"
Yuetaki was startled and blinked blankly, "Brother, what did you say?"
Yue Yan's face turned cold and she said bluntly: "Stop pretending to be stupid. You have already noticed the change just now, right? Why didn't you prevent it in advance? Why did it end up like this?"
Yue Taki smiled with a bit of embarrassment, "I really can't hide anything from you, brother."
"Reason!" Yue Yan looked even colder.
Yue Taki was a little timid, and quickly explained in a low voice: "Brother, don't be anxious yet, I said it's not possible yet;"
"At the beginning, I did notice the change in advance. It was like another formation connected to the Stone Altar Formation was being triggered by someone, which caused the change on our side;"
"At that time, I had the opportunity to retreat and keep Uncle Li and the others safe and sound;"
"But thinking that this formation is extremely rare, and not being able to bear to miss such a wonderful opportunity for further induction, I hesitated;"
"Originally I thought that even if something unexpected happened, it wouldn't be too dangerous, but I didn't expect that the accident that happened in this formation would eventually evolve into something so terrifying, far beyond my control, and it would eventually develop into the current situation;
"
"Brother, I was wrong. I won't dare to do this again next time."
Yue Yan listened carefully and initially believed it, but when Yue Long opened his mouth to admit his mistake, his face turned cold again:
"Isn't this your true purpose!?"
Yuetaki was stunned, "No, that's what I thought."
While speaking, his eyes unnaturally dodge.
Yue Yan shouted with a cold face: "If that's all, with your temperament, how can you admit your mistake?"
Yue Long lowered his head and said in shame: "After all, this almost killed Uncle Cang and the others."
Yue Yan snorted disdainfully, "That's it? When will you care about the lives of these guards?"
Yuetaki smiled bitterly, scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I really can't hide it from you, brother. By the way, where did I reveal my secret, so that you can tell it right away?"
Following the inquiry, the previous shame on his face disappeared in an instant, and there was no trace of guilt at all.
Indeed, as Yue Yan said, he never cared about the life or death of Li Taiyuan.
Yue Yan said slowly: "When I was helping you throw the Origin Stone just now, I seemed to have caught a violation unintentionally. Later, after thinking about it, I found that the pulling power was not like something that was born after the accident in the stone altar formation, but more like
It’s the feeling that you cling to and don’t let it ‘slip away’;”
"Looking back at the feeling at that time, it's like a wild wild horse trying to escape. You held on to the reins and refused to let go, which led to almost being dragged and injured."
"I thought it was a mistake in sensing, but now I can see the scene at the stone altar, the unfathomable bottomless hole... If it is really the pull caused by the accident, I am afraid that these methods of yours alone are not enough to pull Cang Cang away.
If my uncle and the others pull them out, even you yourself will have trouble escaping."
Seeing that the truth was revealed, Tsukitaki's ears turned a little red. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother is still awesome. This is indeed the case. However, I am right about what I said. The changes in the battle situation were indeed beyond my control.
Anticipate;”
"Judging from some of the auras leaked at that time, it is probably at the level of seven or eight breaths of the Heavenly Soul Realm. In its complete state, it is hard to imagine what a terrifying formation it must be."
"Originally, I didn't mean to hurt Uncle Li, but in the end I was hurt too. If I want to blame it, I have to blame this sudden change. It's really a bit cruel."
Yue Yan frowned, "You didn't want to hurt Uncle Li, or Uncle Cang? Your original intention was to kill him? Then why did you save him again?"
The moment she asked the question, Yue Yan subconsciously glanced at the Canglan in the distance where Shen Xin was comprehending the formation of being implanted in her body. She suddenly thought of something and said in surprise:
"Is your purpose...could it be to test the method of piercing jade pieces like this?"
"If that's the case, you can just talk to me. I can find you eighteen hundred people to test it later."
"Why do you want to do such a thing at this time?"
"In this secret realm, Uncle Li and the others are somewhat useful."
Yuelong said speechlessly: "Brother, this is not a method of piercing jade pieces, but an orthodox secret technique passed down to me by my master, called 'Earth Evil Yin Soldier'."
"It's a pity that my current strength is only limited to the most basic twenty-four stitches. When I have the strength to use thirty-six and seventy-two stitches in the future, Uncle Cang won't be in such pain."
Yue Yan was also speechless for a while, "Is this painful or not? Why did you choose Uncle Cang as the target? Even if you want to do it, can't you do it after you get out?"
"No," Yue Taki sighed, "I may not have such a good opportunity after I go out."
"The carrier of my Earthly Evil Yin Soldier must at least have the strength of the Heavenly Soul Realm, and during the execution process, the carrier must cooperate obediently without any resistance;"
"So Uncle Cang has become the best training target. In such a situation, he will cooperate with me unconditionally and loyally. He has no other choice; he will even be grateful to me after it is over."
"If I have to find a reason, I can only blame him for practicing the Dark Moon Heart Sutra. I am very happy with the power of the moon and yin that he has produced. If necessary, I want to use it."
Yue Yan's heart trembled, "After arranging these methods of the Earthly Evil Soldiers, can Cang Lan be completely controlled by you? Can I use my strength to make you a wedding dress?"
Yue Long nodded firmly and smiled proudly: "It's not just about control. The power of the Earthly Evil Yin Soldiers is far beyond imagination;"
"With this method, if I use Uncle Cang as a medium to set up an ordinary puppet formation, he will not only be able to exert his previous strength, but also can perfectly integrate with the formation and borrow part of
Defend the enemy with the power of heaven and earth."
"In general, Uncle Cang at this moment is no longer just an ordinary martial artist, he is also the most perfect puppet in my hand."
After Yue Yan understood the reasons for each victory, he couldn't help but have no opinions about it.
Sacrificing an insignificant Canglan would undoubtedly be worth it if his brother could acquire a powerful method.
"Then how much strength can he regain now?"
Hearing this, Yue Taki thought for a while and analyzed, and said: "If it hadn't been for that self-destruction in the front, it should be able to retain 80-90% of its strength; now, under the most perfect situation, it should be about 70% of its strength."
"However, no matter how he recovers in the end, the soul core will inevitably be shattered. It will be difficult for him to fully use his hands and feet in the future. He needs to keep one or two percent of his spiritual energy in his body to maintain the twenty-four jade nails unshakably.
.”
"But these are not important to me. What I really want is not his strength, but the power of the moon and yin in his body."
"No matter how disabled he is, the power of the moon and yin that his body can carry is unparalleled by human beings. If necessary, I can sacrifice him to serve as nourishment for the formation."
During the conversation between the two.
Xia Yiyun's figure suddenly came closer.
"Sister Xia~" Yuelong suddenly smiled and changed from her harshness a moment ago, waving to Xia Yiyun eagerly.
"You can let me go now!" Xia Yiyun's face was filled with frost and her eyes were very gloomy.
Yuetong smiled bitterly and said: "I want to let you go, Sister Xia, but you have also seen that the stone altar has changed into this way. I am not sure whether I can still open the passage."
Seeing that Xia Yiyun was so angry that she clenched her teeth.
Yuetaki laughed happily and said, "Sister Xia is pretty, she is so cute even when she is angry."
Saying that would not provoke further provocation, he took the initiative to move towards the stone altar area.
"Be careful," Yue Yan said with concern;
When his eyes passed over Xia Yiyun, they were cold and solemn.
Undoubtedly, if Yue Long had any shortcomings, he would be the first to take action on Xia Yiyun without hesitation.
Xia Yiyun felt the killing intent, but she didn't pay much attention to it. It had become a habit and she had long been indifferent. At this moment, her eyes were completely fixed on the stone altar area.
Jian Yuelong took out a jade talisman from the container just as he had done when he opened the passage earlier.
Xia Yiyun understood that Yuelong should not be playing tricks this time, but was really preparing to try to open the channel.
However.
Just as this thought arose in his mind, he suddenly saw the jade talisman in Yue Long's hand, and he dropped it into the hole in the center of the stone altar.
"What are you doing!" Xia Yiyun's face instantly darkened. At this moment, she felt the urge to rush towards Yue Long and die together.
"No, not me!"
Yuelong heard Xia Yiyun's scolding and quickly turned around to explain: "I didn't throw this jade talisman, it flew down by itself."
Xia Yiyun was full of anger and didn't believe the nonsense Yue Long made up.
Huhu~
The sound like the howling wind in the mountains and forests suddenly came from the pit.
Yue Taki, who was worried about not knowing how to explain it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Sister Xia, let me just say that I didn't throw this jade talisman away! If I had thrown it away, there would be no news."
Yue Yan said in surprise, "Is this the jade talisman that was induced by the stone altar?"
Xia Yiyun also realized something at this time. She witnessed with her own eyes that the jade talisman in Yue Long's hand had opened many passages in this secret place. It was undoubtedly inextricably linked to this place;
The stone altar in front of us is the core of this secret realm. It seems possible to sense the appearance of the jade talisman and pull it independently.
Tsukitaki took a few steps back with a solemn expression, warily looking at the hole where the wind was coming from, expecting the jade talisman that had been introduced to resurface.
After half a while.
The scene he expected did not appear, but instead, wisps of gray-black smoke floated out of the pothole.
This smoke and dust are different from the ordinary burning smoke. They do not appear in clumps and flakes, but float out in small pieces, like strands of hair that are tied up.
Countless smoke and dust gathered at the entrance of the cave, and no longer dispersed, but instead became entangled and twisted together like weaving a bird's nest.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, they gathered into a lid-like shape.
Yue Yan said in horror: "What's going on? Is it trying to seal the entrance of the cave?"
Yue Taki shook his head, stepped back again, and said nervously: "It seems like something is coming out from under this pothole..."
As the words fall.
The smoke and dust woven into the cover suddenly started to move again, like a tall building rising from the ground, extending towards the cover, still like a weaving trend, entangled and twisted layer by layer.
Eventually, they gathered together to form a huge black-gray pillar about seven or eight meters high.
From a distance, the pillar looks like a huge nail driven into the hole, blocking the gap of the hole perfectly.
Tsukitaki looked at the black pillar with suspicion. The jade talisman that should have been able to open the passage and leave smoothly was gone. Instead, there was a black pillar like this...
This made it difficult for him not to subconsciously think about the black pillar heading away from the passage.
Thinking about the black pillar that suddenly evolved in front of you, could it be related to the passage out of this place?
Or...
Is it related to the real secret treasure hidden here?
After all, judging from the treasures taken previously, although each one is extremely precious, it is not to the level of being rare in the world;
And with such a large number stored together, it seems a bit ordinary and not particularly eye-catching.
Yue Yan had the same thought at this moment. The black pillar that suddenly appeared in front of him was most likely the real treasure here.
Most of the previous ones were just designed to confuse outsiders, causing the intruders to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.
Li Taiyuan and Cang Lan also stopped recovering at this time, and came to Yue Yan's side with their weak bodies, looking at Heizhu with horrified eyes.
"Xiaotaki," Cang Lan spoke first: "The origin of this black pillar is unknown, and its danger is unknown. Can Uncle Cang go up first to test it?"
Yue Taki looked back and refused: "Uncle Cang, you have just adapted to the new formation in your body, and your strength has not recovered to 30% to 40% of usual, and you don't know many formations, so you'd better rest well. This time, you can
Can't help me."
Canglan froze her steps in shame.
Everyone looked at Yue Taki who was leaning towards the black pillar, and they all held their breath nervously.
