"Maybe it's another token!" Ding Shu said excitedly.
"Be careful!"
After Xing Nan reminded him, his spiritual consciousness drove the Xuanling Gourd to fall into the lake.
thump!
The Xuanling Gourd fell into the water and continued to sink. It was originally a water-based magic weapon refined from water-based materials. The lake water not only had no effect on it, but even enhanced its power.
A thin circle of blue light blocked the lake water, and also easily blocked the increasing water pressure.
The lake is very deep, and the Xuanling Gourd dived nearly ten thousand feet before landing at the bottom of the lake.
Under Xiaomeng's guidance, Xing Nan adjusted the direction of Xuanling Gourd and slowed down its speed.
It only took less than a hundred breaths for the Xuanling Gourd to finally stop.
"Squeak!"
Xiaomeng pointed forward and called softly.
In fact, without Xiaomeng's reminder, Xing Nan could see that at the bottom of the lake in front, there was a lake bottom basin, like a ruins.
Tall stone pillars stand tall or crooked in the lake, with exquisite and detailed carvings on them.
There are also dilapidated temple-like buildings that appear to have been eroded by the years and have an ancient artistic conception.
There are even pieces of rusty weapons and armor...
The walls are in ruins and overgrown with water and grass.
It was like an ancient palace or city that had been reduced to ruins and then sunk to the bottom of the lake.
Looking at the runes on the buildings and the lifelike carvings of mythical beasts on the stone pillars, you can guess that this is not the site of an ordinary city or palace, but should be the residence of many powerful people with advanced cultivation levels.
Out of caution, Xing Nan did not put away the Xuanling Gourd, but slowly moved deeper into the ruins.
Xiaomeng made a sound from time to time, guiding Xing Nan's path forward.
There was no danger along the way. At most, we encountered huge fish, snakes, turtles and shrimps.
About half an hour passed before the slow-moving Xuanling Gourd stopped in front of a relatively well-preserved hall deep in the ruins.
Xiaomeng said that there are treasures in this hall.
As for whether there is danger inside, Xiaomeng cannot find out, but Xing Nan estimates that it will not be easy to get the treasures here.
The main hall is about 200 feet high, and the height and width are no less than 300 feet. It is considered magnificent in scale.
There is only one stone door in the main hall. The stone door is thirty feet high and nearly twenty feet wide. The runes engraved on it are very complete, but not clear.
On both sides of the stone gate, there are two stone sculptures, both of which are humanoid in appearance. One is holding a halberd and the other is holding a sword. Both are wearing battle armor and are very powerful.
Xing Nan seemed more cautious, and Ding Shu was also on full alert.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
More than a dozen sword soldiers appeared around Xing Nan again. Driven by his spiritual consciousness, the sword soldiers slowly approached the stone door of the main hall.
Phew! Phew!
As soon as more than a dozen sword soldiers arrived at the stone gate, the humanoid stone sculptures on both sides seemed to have come to life at the same time. The stone halberds and stone swords in their hands instantly struck at the dozen sword soldiers with thunderous momentum.
Bang bang clang clang!
A dozen sword soldiers had no time to retreat, and were smashed to pieces by stone halberds and stone swords, flying everywhere, and most of them even broke directly on the spot.
The attack power of the stone halberd and stone sword cannot be underestimated.
Both Xing Nan and Ding Shu's eyelids trembled, and the timid Xiao Meng immediately retracted his head.
"puppet!"
Xing Nan just exclaimed, and a scene that made him extremely surprised appeared——
The two stone puppets holding swords and halberds respectively broke apart after completing an attack, as if the attack just now had used up all their last strength.
"Well……"
Xing Nan and Ding Shu looked at each other, and at the same time they were secretly glad. If they had gone there in person just now, they might not have ended well.
Don't dare to be careless.
Xing Nan then controlled the undamaged sword soldiers in his consciousness, letting them fly around at the entrance of the hall, and even released some considerable power.
But the entrance to the main hall has always been very calm, and no abnormal conditions have occurred.
Xing Nan asked a few sword soldiers to test around, and even asked the sword soldiers to attack the stone slabs on the ground, but no more trouble was caused, so he felt relieved and allowed the Xuanling Gourd to continue approaching the gate.
Also to ensure safety, Xing Nan invited five Jin puppets and asked them to push the stone door of the main hall.
The five golden puppets were not afraid at all. They took heavy steps and came to the stone door step by step. Then they stretched out their palms to press on the stone door at the same time, and then used all their strength to push.
Cack, cluck, clack...
The two stone doors were slowly pushed open, and a stream of energy surged out from the stone doors, causing large bubbles to appear on the bottom of the lake outside the stone doors.
Large water bubbles slowly rose from the bottom of the lake.
The five golden puppets are still exerting their strength. Their crystal slots are filled with mysterious crystals. With the support of powerful energy, they all have power that is not weaker than that of king-level masters.
Seeing that the five golden puppets were struggling to push the stone door, and the stone door opened very slowly, Xing Nan thought: "If it weren't for these five golden puppets, I might have to use the power of the three rings to be able to
I opened the folding stone door, but after the power of the three rings was opened, I was in a weak state, and it was probably impossible to get the treasure inside."
Even though the five golden puppets tried their best, they could only open the stone door to a gap of about one and a half feet wide.
Xing Nan asked the five golden puppets to step aside, and then used the Xuanling Gourd to release a blue water dragon.
The blue water dragon bared its teeth and claws, and rushed towards a stone door with a fierce momentum, hoping to use the attack power of the Tongxuan-level magic weapon to make the door crack wider.
Bang!
The blue water dragon slammed into the stone door. The runes on the stone door, which had been calm just now, suddenly released a burst of dazzling light. Not only did it instantly defeat the blue water dragon, but it also swept the lake water and surged in all directions.
.
Even the five golden puppets who had already dodged to one side were swept away more than a hundred feet away in an instant.
The frenzy then hit the blue circle of light released by the Xuanling Gourd. It failed to break the circle, but it also made the Xuanling Gourd move back dozens of feet.
After a wave of momentum, the runes on the stone door gradually faded.
"It seems that you can't use magic or magical powers to attack, you can only use pure strength." Ding Shu said.
"It's only one and a half feet wide. My five puppets can't go in and test it out first."
Xing Nan frowned, and with a thought, under the control of the art of transformation, the water at the bottom of the lake turned into ice picks and shot into the crack of the door.
Hundreds of ice picks were made and shot into the crack of the door, but no movement was heard in the hall. Xing Nan was still hesitant because after his spiritual consciousness poured into the crack of the door, he would lose contact with him, preventing him from peeking into the hall.
situation.
Being able to isolate spiritual consciousness proves that there are arrangements such as formation restrictions inside, which must not be taken lightly.
"There shouldn't be much danger, at least not when you first enter." Ding Shuyan said.
The stone door has been pushed open, and Ding Shu naturally doesn't want to give up.
In fact, Xing Nan doesn't want to give up, but is just a little worried.
"How about I go in and take a look first?" Ding Shu volunteered.
"Forget it, just stay outside and watch."
Xing Nan shook his head. In such a place where it was difficult to determine whether there was any danger, naturally the strong ones would go in first to test it.
Putting away the sword soldiers, the Xuanling Gourd, and the five golden puppets, Xing Nan resolutely rushed towards the crack in the door.
What surprised Ding Shu was that just as he was about to follow him in, the stone door slammed shut, blocking him out.
Ding Shu was shocked and tried his best to push the stone door, but his strength could not compare with the five golden puppets.
Ding Shu's mind was racing and he couldn't think of a solution. He couldn't help but worry about Xing Nan.
After a while, Ding Shu took out a blue talisman and stuck it on his body, and his body was instantly wrapped in a blue light mask.
That talisman paper is a water escape talisman, which has the effect of repelling water and can ignore the water pressure in the water.
"You must come out well!"
Ding Shu prayed silently.
…
After crossing the stone door, Xing Nan found himself in a dark space. He just frowned and found that the stone door behind him had been closed, which made his heart sink.
The more this is the case, the more you should stay calm!
Xing Nan did not think about how to open the stone door, but first felt it in his heart.
His consciousness was completely restricted in his body, and his eyes could only see many feet around him through the glow of the protective light shield. Xing Nan had no idea what kind of environment he was in.
Silently retreating, after only two steps, his back came into contact with the stone door.
The stone door has been closed, and the crack in the door is so small that it is almost a thin line, and you can't see the outside at all.
Xing Nan first used his own strength to push the stone door, but the stone door did not move at all.
He invited the five golden puppets out again, but they could no longer push the stone door open.
The way back is cut off!
This is a very dangerous signal.
With the glow of the protective spiritual light, Xing Nan carefully looked at the stone door and saw a diamond-shaped groove.
He stared at the groove for a long time and speculated: "It is estimated that a diamond-shaped crystal or token is needed to open this stone door."
Even if the guess is accurate, where can I find the crystal or token?
Don't be in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry!
Xing Nan warned himself again and again not to mess up the situation.
After waiting for a while, he took out the sword soldiers and let them fly in front to explore the path.
Moreover, he also had five golden puppets surrounding him to help him defend himself.
It only took a cup of tea, and Xing Nan had already discovered that he should be in a hall now. This hall was only more than ten feet long and wide, and it should be only a small part of the entire hall.
Under the wall opposite the door of this hall, there is a pile of bones and an iron chain.
The pile of white bones looked definitely not a human skeleton, but more like what was left after the death of a wolf-like beast, but there were still weak energy fluctuations in each bone.
This pile of white bones has existed for who knows how many years, and there are still energy fluctuations to this day, proving that the owner of this white bones must have been quite strong in cultivation.
Although the iron chain may not be very strong, it is engraved with mysterious patterns, and it is probably used to bind the owner of this pile of bones.
The iron chain is very long. If it is straightened, it can easily touch every corner of this hall. If this monster is still alive, even if it is bound by the iron chain, Xing Nan will probably have to fight with it fiercely.
