At the deepest part of the corridor, a fountain stood quietly, with clear water gushing out continuously.
It flows into the pool around the fountain, and at the same time, a few rays of light are emitted from the fountain.
Corresponding to the top of the underground palace.
It was as beautiful as a rainbow, and around the fountain there grew several crystal stones emitting a light blue glow.
"That should be where the treasure of the underground palace is!"
A disciple from Tianyun Pavilion shouted excitedly.
He seemed afraid that someone would seize the opportunity, so he rushed forward first.
"Hurry up and follow him."
"Enclose that place and don't let outsiders get in!"
Seeing this, the other fellow students followed without stopping.
Walk along the corridor step by step towards the spring.
They were ordered by their master to search for opportunities in the underground palace of the Kingdom of Beiyue. Now that they have found it, this spring should be the biggest treasure in the underground palace.
Zhu Huiling chased after him without hesitation.
At this time, Qin Yumo and Nangong Wan'er did not move, but just looked at Xu Qiu.
The latter closed his eyes slightly and sensed it gently.
Then he opened his eyes and showed an interested smile on his face: "The formation has changed this time, it is really interesting."
He turned to the two of them and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Qin Yumo asked worriedly: "Aren't you afraid there's a trap inside?"
"It's a trap, but it doesn't pose much of a threat to me now." Xu Qiu said without hiding anything, revealing a relaxed look.
[This formation is not the formation in the Dragon Rising Land before, but a monster sacrifice formation. Therefore, the area near the spring is full of monsters, waiting to be awakened.]
[The only danger is the sleeping monster. It has been hungry for thousands of years and should be very aggressive.]
He had just used his spiritual sense to spy on the surroundings.
Fortunately, the formation that blocks spiritual consciousness here has been greatly weakened.
In addition, Xu Qiu's own strength has been greatly improved, so he can naturally explore some of the formations hidden underground.
This is especially true for sleeping monsters.
"Let's go in and take a look." Xu Qiu said to the two of them.
However, Qin Yumo and Nangong Wan'er shook their heads.
Are you kidding? They all heard Xu Qiu's thoughts. There was a fence for monsters inside. Going in was like walking into a tiger's mouth! Qin Yumo said timidly, "Can we not go in?"
"Yes." Nangong Wan'er nodded, "Generally speaking, treasure means a life-or-death struggle, or a journey without return."
They immediately worked together.
He shook his head frantically and was unwilling to go no matter what.
Xu Qiu looked at them speechlessly and said, "I'll go in by myself. You guys stay outside."
After saying that, he turned around and took a few steps forward.
Only Qin Yumo and Nangong Wan'er were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What can we do now?"
"Just follow him. Master Xu, don't be afraid. He should have a trump card."
The two looked at each other and could only follow helplessly.
…
At this time, everyone had just passed through the long corridor.
And then I came to the huge space again.
There are solid stone walls all around, and huge stone pillars that are so heavy that several people cannot hold them up support the ground.
The spring is in this space, like a grain of sand.
Centrally located.
However, the closer they got to the spring, they discovered that the air seemed to contain nutrients, and every time they took a breath, they felt as if their whole bodies were filled with strength.
"This is..." Qin Yumo was full of doubts.
Xu Qiu explained: "Lingquan, the place where spiritual energy is produced, but this is a man-made Lingquan."
"Where are those crystals?" Nangong Wan'er also asked.
"Spiritual stones can be understood as solidified spiritual energy."
Xu Qiu gave a brief introduction.
In the distance, the disciples of Tianyun Pavilion had already arrived at the location of the spring.
I held the spring water in my hands and wanted to drink it, but I found that the spring water left the ground and instantly dissipated into the sky and earth and became part of the air.
“This is amazing.”
They sighed.
Someone even pulled out a spirit stone from the spring.
The corridor connected to the gate of the underground palace made a creaking sound, which immediately startled everyone.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
I found that Tang Jinwen was standing near the gate at some point, pulling the bolt with both hands, allowing the gate to slowly close.
Seeing this, Zhu Huiling shouted, "What are you doing?"
"What?" Tang Jinwen showed a wicked smile, "Of course I wish you good luck~!"
His smile was very bright.
Without hesitation, he closed the door tightly.
Boom...! A loud door slamming sound echoed throughout the underground palace.
A fellow apprentice suddenly stepped forward and used his sword to pry open the door, but the door didn't move at all and he couldn't open it no matter what.
"Senior Sister Zhu, the door can't be opened." He shouted.
"Asshole!" Zhu Huiling gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't he afraid of being blamed by the sect?!"
She had a bad feeling.
Tang Jinwen must know something. There is danger in this space, so he plans to use everyone as cannon fodder.
Even Nangong Wan'er recalled what Xu Qiu had said before, that Tang Jinwen was the biggest traitor of Tianyun Pavilion.
"roar……"
Suddenly, a low roar could be heard.
In the dim underground palace, it seemed as if cold air was gradually seeping towards them.
Everyone got goosebumps instantly.
Everyone in Tianyun Pavilion looked around nervously, their palms and backs of their hands covered in sweat.
Even Qin Yumo, who was huddled beside Xu Qiu, was in a state of uncertainty, "Brother-in-law...what's that sound..."
Her voice was trembling.
"Didn't you just hunt several of them? Are you scared now?" Xu Qiu teased in a relaxed tone.
Hearing this, Qin Yumo reacted, "You said it's a monster?"
"Well, just over a hundred."
"More than a hundred!"
This time it was Nangong Wan'er's turn to be surprised, and her voice suddenly rose several degrees.
The previous few monsters made her breathless and almost killed her, and now there are more than a hundred of them.
Is there any chance that they can survive?
However, seeing Xu Qiu's calm appearance, she seemed less frightened.
This guy always makes people feel unexpectedly safe.
[It is estimated that the monsters in the inner city were sleeping here before, but they were awakened by people who coveted this place, so they fled the inner city.]
[Tang Jinwen's performance just now seems to confirm this point, so he needs help to consume monsters]
Xu Qiu thought about it for a moment.
Qin Yumo and Nangong Wan'er heard this.
They looked as if they had suddenly realized something. No wonder they always felt as if they had fallen into a trap set by some person.
instantly.
"roar……!"
The originally low roar gradually became clearer and closer.
In the dim underground palace, a slender figure was approaching.
Until they came close enough, everyone could see each other clearly. They were huge monsters, each of them was hideous and terrifying, like a beast that had been hungry for a long time, with saliva constantly flowing.
“There are too many monsters here…” A junior fellow from Tianyun Pavilion swallowed his saliva.
My feet couldn't help but tremble.
The monsters almost surrounded them, and there was an endless stream of dark shadows of monsters behind them.
Zhu Huiling also frowned at this moment, as if she was stuck with glue and couldn't let go.
At this time, a junior sister in their team saw the scene in front of her and collapsed directly: "What should we do now? We shouldn't have been so reckless. Now it's a dead end. I don't want to die... wuwu."
Hearing her crying, everyone in Tianyun Pavilion was upset.
At the same time, fear spread in my heart.
At this time, only Zhu Huiling remained calm and said, "Don't give up, we can get out alive!"
Then she turned her head and looked at Xu Qiu, "No one can stay out of this situation, so you must listen to my command and fight the monster together!"
"I refuse."
Xu Qiu said lightly. (End of this chapter)
