Chapter 616: Mantis Catches Cicada



They had not walked on the dark road for long when the surrounding space began to light up with little flames, illuminating the unknown space ahead.

The outline of the ancient city gradually emerged, and the magnificent city walls still existed intermittently after countless years.

Although the city gate is in ruins, there are still some scattered vermilion fragments of the gate.

"What a powerful method! This ancient city has been able to survive countless years in the wind and sand. We have to say that the person who set up the city defense formation has superb methods. The appearance of this ancient city can still be seen clearly today." True Man Yuqing said with emotion.

As the words fell, a group of people entered the city through the city gate. The chaos on both sides of the street seemed to have not changed in thousands of years.

Jiufeng and others couldn't see it, but Qin Tian could see it clearly. There were a lot of dried blood marks on the walls on both sides of the street, including on the ground. It's just that they had been underground for too long and could no longer be seen.

The city was desolate, without any sign of life, and nothing of value left.

Qin Tian and his group continued to move forward in the city. Their goal was the most luxurious palace in the city. Perhaps there would be what they needed there.

When Qin Tian and others stood in front of the palace, it was hard to imagine that in the city that had been buried by wind and sand for too long, this palace was still as new as new, as if it had just been built, and it did not look like it had experienced thousands of years.

Looking at this palace, Mu Lin, Jade Purity Master, Jiu Feng and Hun Dun shuddered inexplicably.

Jiufeng frowned slightly, her eyes filled with solemnity as she said, "I don't know what's in this palace, but it gives me a bad feeling."

"A dangerous aura!" Jade Purity Immortal also said with a serious expression.

His intuition told him that he should avoid entering the palace if possible, as the danger inside was extremely terrifying.

Mu Lin, however, had a determined look on his face. "The greater the risk, the greater the reward."

Having said this, Mu Lin walked forward slowly. At this moment, he was like a loyal gambler.

Qin Tian did not look as solemn as if he was facing a great enemy. Although he could feel the danger, it was not to the point that made him feel uneasy.

"Master!" Jade Purity True Man called out to Qin Tian. He was waiting for Qin Tian's decision. The dangers in this ancient city could be imagined, but dangers must also be accompanied by opportunities.

Qin Tian said slowly, "Let's go!"

The palace gate was pushed open and Qin Tian and his party entered. When they were inside the palace, everyone except Qin Tian was moved by the scene inside the palace, and their pupils were full of surprise.

This huge palace is a hundred feet wide. Bones are scattered all over the ground, and the ground is also scarlet in color, which is caused by the blood.

"There are so many bones. What happened to this ancient city back then?" Jade Purity Immortal murmured.

There are piles of bones in front of us, there are at least a million of them. So many people died. One can imagine how tragic the scene was at that time.

At that moment, the palace gate slowly closed, and a spiritual iron weighing ten thousand pounds fell, sealing the gate directly. Inside the palace, the flames flickered, making the entire palace extremely bright.

"There seems to be something enshrined on the high platform in the center." Mu Lin said slowly.

The distance was quite far, and there were white bones as a barrier, so it was naturally difficult to see clearly. Mu Lin and the others could not see clearly, but Qin Tian could see clearly.

There was a top-grade spirit stone on the high platform, but the spiritual energy in it was extremely thin and had no value. Qin Tian's spiritual sense sensed everything in the palace, but there was no valuable treasure.

On the contrary, in this palace, there is a sense of weirdness everywhere, and a formation is still running continuously.

Qin Tian glanced at Mu Lin meaningfully, said nothing, and just kept moving forward.

When the group arrived at the bottom of a circular platform that was several meters in diameter and several meters high, they saw mysterious patterns and runes carved on the platform, which made them feel inexplicably weird.

"How come these runes... have never been seen before?" Jade Purity Immortal murmured suspiciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Lin jumped onto the platform and took the high-grade spirit stone floating in the air above the platform in his hand. Then, Mu Lin moved his palm and a golden scepter appeared in his hand. Mu Lin inserted the golden scepter straight into the depression in the center of the platform.

At this moment, the entire hall was shaking continuously, and a strange red light instantly enveloped the entire palace. A large formation was activated, and a tremendous pressure descended instantly.

"I...why can't I move?" Jade Purity Immortal said in surprise.

Not only him, Jiufeng and Hun Dun were unable to move at all. As for Qin Tian's expression, he did not look very surprised.

At the same time, the millions of bones in the palace seemed to come alive and began to stand up, but they did not attack Qin Tian and others. Instead, they attacked each other and devoured each other.

Jade Purity Immortal stared at Mu Lin closely and shouted in a cold voice, "Are you plotting against us?!"

Mu Lin sneered and said, "Calculate? Originally, it wasn't you that was being calculated. It should have been those two idiots, Mu Ao and An Lan. Unfortunately, you guys brought it upon yourselves, and you are more suitable than them, so... this is God's will!

Logically, we don't know each other, so it's really not nice to do this, but I have no choice.

When these bones devour each other and eventually form a holy bone, use your entire cultivation and blood as a sacrifice to give the holy bone a hint of spiritual wisdom and stimulate its potential. Then, with my blood as a guide and the blessing of this great formation, I will obtain the holy bone, and my cultivation will skyrocket."

The more Mu Lin spoke, the louder his voice became, and the more excited he became. It was a huge difference from his previous cold face. However, Mu Lin's eyes were full of desire. It can be seen that he had a deep obsession with power, so deep that he would pay any price for it.

Qin Tian's expression did not change at all, he was still as calm as ever, and asked slowly, "You know the situation here in great detail, too much detail, don't you suspect that someone did it deliberately?

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it!

Hearing this, Mu Lin raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't try to shake my heart at this time."

Mu Lin seemed to have absolute confidence in this issue. Instead, he felt that Qin Tian's words were just to shake his heart in order to find a chance of survival.

Qin Tian shook his head and smiled, his eyes somewhat teasing, and asked in return, "Really?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Mu Lin could say anything else, a powerful sword energy slashed straight towards Mu Lin, but Mu Lin reacted instantly and dodged the sword at the most critical moment.
