The feeling of separation just now has told Tianlan that he has entered a mysterious forbidden area. It is surrounded by a cave filled with white mist. There are eight passages from the entrance. They are also marked on the map. Each passage can be walked ten steps away. You will encounter another fork, which will branch out into seven or eight paths, and so on, forming a huge maze.
The map is also an incomplete map. The ends of many passages are not drawn. Moreover, this picture is a plan view. In reality, the underground is three-dimensional. The passages are not in a plane, but are intertwined up and down. Some lead to Below, some lead to the top. As you walk, you will get confused.
For Tianlan, what is unbearable is not this terrifying maze, but the fresh air here.
The fresh air here is actually stronger than that outside. It has almost reached 90%. It is so strong that it has almost turned into substance.
Zhuoshen lives on turbid air. For him, this kind of place is like there is no air. It makes people almost suffocated.
He took a few breaths first to stabilize his mind. Although it was uncomfortable, it was just uncomfortable. It would not affect his life. Fortunately, there was no potential crisis as he expected. Otherwise, he would still be in a place like this all of a sudden. I really can't cope with it.
Bai Qiu said before that the Qing Qi here is very rich. Tianlan was also mentally prepared. But he didn't expect it to be so rich. The Qing Qi crystal "Qing Qi Stone" from the heavenly realm is not as rich as here.
He had doubts in his mind: This place didn't look like it was created naturally. Did someone do something here to make the fresh air here so strong? Could it be that there really was an unborn genius, treasure, or the practice of an ancient god? place.
He took a few steps forward and reached the fork in the road. Then he frowned.
In his sensitive perception, he could clearly feel that the concentration of the surrounding clean air increased by one point as he went deeper. If calculated in terms of ratio, it would increase from 90% to 90.1%. Although it is only an increase of 0.1, he has only taken a few steps. According to this calculation, the concentration of clear air will be higher the further you go, so wouldn't it be 100% in the innermost part?
His face became a little ugly. Just as there is no 100% turbid air in the lower heaven, theoretically there is no place with 100% clean air in the upper heaven. Think about the worst case scenario. If there is really 100% pure air in it. He has a hundred pure Qi. So when facing an extremely turbid body like his... Even if he tries his best to suppress his own turbid Qi, he will still be burned by the strong Qing Qi around him.
In such a place with thin turbid qi, the turbid qi they can use is only a part of the body. It is difficult to replenish it. If injured, it is difficult to recover. Not to mention the injury, as long as they use their hands, the turbid qi in the body will turn over. Double consumption. This is a huge disadvantage...
It seems that this place is more dangerous than he imagined. Let's not talk about destruction. The first thing they have to do is to protect themselves. They cannot do anything at will.
He was the first to come in. Of course he wanted to do something. He didn't believe Bai Qiu's map from the bottom of his heart. Standing in front of the fork, he spread his mental power along the ground. The mental power gathered into a line, and gradually moved towards him with him as the center. Expanding deep underground.
One hundred meters...
Two hundred meters...
Five hundred meters...
One thousand meters...
The linear mental power can extend further. The entire underground was gathered into an exquisite three-dimensional map in his mind. It was far more detailed than the one given by Bai Qiu.
It's just because the fresh air here is too strong, which directly interferes with his mental power. As a result, his detection can only reach about one thousand meters. Going deeper will be difficult for him to continue.
But he also discovered a lot of things. There were some places on the fork in the road where the Qing Qi was obviously stronger. These were dots one by one. He speculated that they were the Qing Qi artifacts Bai Qiu mentioned. The Qing Qi was enhanced. It doesn't get stronger as he goes in, but gets stronger as he goes down. He can feel that the clear air is slightly lighter in the upward passage, while it is very strong in the downward passage.
The clearing Bai Qiu asked him to go to was deep underground. It was also the place where he felt the strongest Qing Qi. It was because the Qing Qi was too strong. His mental power could not extend there at all. It seemed that if he wanted to know what was inside What exactly is there? You have to go there in person.
But he is not in a hurry to move forward. He is not Ren Xingge anyway. The blood oath is invalid for him. It is also difficult to activate the Hundred Sealed Divine Flowers. Plus there are many dangers inside. How can he rest assured to stay and protect them forever? So he has decided long ago Just sit back and wait at the entrance.
He found a clean place and sat cross-legged, with his back against the stone wall and his side facing the entrance. He was not in any hurry.
Three minutes passed quickly. Not long after he sat down, the second person came in.
"Huh."
The two of them screamed in surprise at the same time. Tian Lan was a little surprised when he saw the second person coming in. It turned out to be Ye Yi. He got the No. 2 lottery.
Ye Yi was also surprised. Why is Ren Xingge still here? He finally got the No. 1 lottery. Shouldn't he use these three minutes to quickly find the artifact or set up a trap to wait for the next person? But look at him sitting on the ground. He seemed to be planning to take a rest.
No way... Everyone rushed in. The first one to come in was actually just sitting and enjoying the cool air. Could he really be planning to practice for ten days?
Ye Yi originally planned to find the artifact. But when he saw Ren Xingge sitting here, he suddenly changed his mind.
He actually doesn't have much interest in artifacts. He wants to compete with Ren Xingge more so that he can lose to him and then help him find someone. But since Ren Xingge is sitting here, it's not good for him to leave early. .Then wouldn’t he be given up by Ren Xingge again?
No, no, no. He must be convinced of the defeat.
The enemy cannot move. I cannot move.
Thinking this, Ye Yi walked towards Tianlan and sat side by side with him. He said, "Hey, why are you sitting here and not leaving?"
Tianlan rolled her eyes at him. In fact, she really didn't want to talk to him. She hoped he would go away quickly. She felt nervous when he was around. She was afraid that she would reveal her fault.
But why did Ye Yi come over? Didn't he want to get the artifact? If I didn't move, he would be the first person to enter. Did he think chatting with me was more important than getting the treasure?
Tianlan had a sullen face and replied concisely: "Waiting for someone."
Ye Yi thought for a while and said: "Waiting for someone. Oh, are you waiting for your subordinates or your beautiful girl?"
Tianlan said dullly: "They are not my subordinates. They are my family. So I will act with them."
Ye Yi became interested and said: "Hey, I don't even know what their names are. And that girl. She's so beautiful. She's your wife."
Tianlan said impatiently: "No."
Ye Yi started to mess around: "Don't be so stingy. Tell me what their names are."
Tian Lan lamented: "You have time to talk to me here. You might as well go find the artifact quickly. The next person will come in soon. It is very worthless to miss the opportunity."
Ye Yi smiled and said: "You didn't move either. You have to wait for a long time anyway. Isn't it just right for me to chat with you? Well, you chatted with me the night before yesterday. This time I can repay you."
Tian Lan flatly refused: "No. I don't need your company. We don't agree with each other."
Ye Yi didn't care. He said, "Why do you still talk like this? I thought you were a little cuter the night before yesterday. Why are you so fierce now? By the way. Why are you always frowning? Are you uncomfortable?" "
Tian Lan was feeling very uncomfortable because of the strong fresh air here. Seeing that Ye Yi seemed to have discovered something, he turned his head away so that Ye Yi could not see his face again.
Ye Yi didn't speak any more. He didn't leave either. Instead, he made some noise behind him. Tianlan heard the sound of stones colliding. He couldn't help but turned around in confusion. He saw a chessboard placed in front of Ye Yi. .He was playing with the chess pieces in his hand.
He gestured to Tianlan with the chess piece in his hand and said: "How about it? Since you don't want to compete with me, let's play chess to see who is better. Time is very abundant now. You still have to wait for a day or two. Yeah. I'm very free too. I heard that playing chess is the best way to kill time."
Tian Lan picked up a white chess piece doubtfully and said: "It's such a good place. Even if you don't go to get the artifact, you will still use this time to practice. Why play chess with me."
Ye Yi smiled and said: "Cultivation. Do you need to practice deliberately when the Qingqi here is so strong? If you stay here, the practice will work naturally. Doing nothing is equivalent to practicing. You still want me to concentrate on practicing? I It’s not that hard. Besides, you’re not practicing either.”
He asked in response. Tianlan couldn't continue talking. He instead said, "You know how to play chess."
Ye Yi touched his nose and said sheepishly: "I'm actually not very good at it. I just learned it in the past few years. I think it's quite fun. Okay. If you beat me, I'll reluctantly let you teach me how to play chess."
While they were chatting, the third person had already come in. He saw that the first two people who came in were actually playing chess in a friendly manner. He was so surprised that his eyes almost fell to the ground.
Don't these two people know that people outside are jealous and crazy about their early entry? They are actually playing chess. They are not enterprising. They are a waste of opportunities. They are a waste of money.
The third person was too shocked. He was shocked for three minutes. It wasn't until the fourth person came in that he finally realized what he was doing. He chose an avenue and ran away first.
The fourth person was also shocked at first. Then he cursed in a low voice. It seemed that he was scolding them for being ridiculous. Then he chose another way to leave.
Soon the fifth person, the sixth person... the first thing almost everyone who came in did was to be shocked. Then they muttered something as they passed by, and then left.
They were really puzzled. In this rare geomantic treasure land, how desperate were they to sit here and play chess? This act itself was a waste of natural resources.
If they weren't in a hurry to grab the treasure, they would definitely stay and talk to them.
