The interior of the ruins looks like a giant palace.
The decoration style is slightly simple, but the interior is well organized.
As you walk further inside, you can feel the strong wind blowing from the depths of the palace, and you can even hear the wailing sounds inside.
What is certain is that the Infernal Cave is within it.
However, this palace is very large and it is difficult for everyone to find it for a while.
After a while, Feng Xiaotian stopped in front of the railing in the distance. Only when everyone rushed to his side did they see the situation clearly.
There is a staircase that rotates upward and downward. Standing on the staircase and looking down, you can see a bottomless cave.
Standing here, the sound of wind whizzes past my ears, like howling in hell.
“Is this the Infinite Cave?”
Seeing this situation, everyone was disappointed.
It seems that there is a big difference from the cave they imagined.
The evil god is dead, and the legendary veil of the Infernal Cave has been completely broken. Now it seems that it is just an ordinary cave with wind blowing out.
Feng Xiaotian exclaimed: "There seems to be something attracting me here, and the source seems to be this cave. But when I got closer, this feeling suddenly disappeared."
"Oh ?" Ning Tianchen became interested and asked him: "Is there something that makes you feel throbbing in your heart?"
After receiving a positive answer, he smiled and said: "It seems that here. There should be an opportunity for you.”
Feng Xiaotian shrugged, took off his mask, and sighed: "I wish I had. This feeling has disappeared, maybe it's an illusion. However, if I can practice here, my cultivation will improve very quickly."
As he spoke, he pointed to the stairs in front of him, "I think we can look around nearby. This is an ancient ruins, and there may be treasures left by our predecessors."
Ning Rongrong calmly tugged on Ning Tianchen's sleeve.
Compared to everyone else, they still have a mission to do.
Since it is a riddle, where is the riddle?
Ning Tianchen looked around and found no trace of the riddle.
After thinking about it, he arranged: "Xiaotian, Yudie, Caidi, Zhuqing, you go down and have a look, and the rest of you will come up with me to have a look."
"Be in awe and don't touch things you shouldn't touch, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Feng Xiaotian said: "After an hour, no matter whether we have gained something or not, we will gather here."< br>
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The two teams climbed up the stairs and looked up or down. The stairs here seemed to have no end.
“I can’t imagine what kind of people dare to build stairs here.” Oscar’s tone was slightly trembling.
The handrail on one side of the stairs was very short. If you were not careful, you would fall into the deep hole. Oscar looked down tentatively, and every time he looked back tremblingly.
Ning Tianchen stood on the spot, jumped down, and said with a smile: "This is not a wooden step, but a metal step, so don't worry, you won't fall."
"As for Who built it, who knows. Maybe it was built together with the ruins.”
This ruins is at least 50,000 years old, and the records here may have disappeared tens of thousands of years ago.
After climbing up for a few minutes, what appeared in front of everyone was a cave with dark walls.
Ning Rongrong summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda Martial Spirit, and the nine-colored light shone into the cave. Inside was a corridor with no end in sight.
"Go in and take a look?" Chen Huayu suggested in a low voice.
Ning Tianchen hooked his shoulder, "Let's go, don't be afraid, you are the Soul Emperor."
Chen Huayu plucked up his courage, "Boss, don't look down on others, I'm not afraid."
As he said that, the two of them walked into it together.
The small, cramped and dark environment made Chen Huayu's legs tremble.
“Are you claustrophobic?” Ning Tianchen asked.
Chen Huayu had never heard of this symptom and explained: "I just don't like the cave environment, and I'm not afraid."
Ning Tianchen smiled and said nothing more.
With the Nine Treasure Glazed Tower lighting up, the four of them quickly walked to the corner at the end.
Continuing forward, the surrounding environment was much wider. Ning Tianchen lit the torch and threw it forward.
Under the faint light of the torch, the outline of a secret room can be vaguely seen in the distance.
"It seems we are lucky. There may be treasures ahead." As he said that, Ning Tianchen rushed forward quickly.
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, maybe there was the puzzle they were looking for in the secret room ahead.
Due to the past many years, the soul guide protecting the secret room has become ineffective. Chen Huayu opened the thick stone door and everyone entered.
“Let me go, there are so many bones on the ground, they can’t all be soul bones.”
Oscar’s eyes lit up, and he and Chen Huayu rushed forward and started rummaging.
Ning Rongrong came to Ning Tianchen and asked in a low voice: "Brother Tianchen, have you discovered anything?"
When he first entered the secret room, Ning Tianchen kept looking at the surrounding environment.
He said: "There is a blue-green claw mark on the lintel of the entrance. The floor under our feet seems to have the same mark. Other than that, it is just the black and gray on the ground."
"After the fat man opened the door, the wind outside After pouring it in, it is not ruled out that these black ash were once books, but because they are too old, they have been carbonized, and we cannot check the contents."
Both of them know that. There must be the possibility of completing the content of the divine examination.
If these ancient books are really the key to solving the mystery, the content of the divine examination must not include asking them to solve the mystery.
Ning Rongrong sighed with regret and looked towards her feet. A huge blue-green claw mark could be vaguely seen on the ground.
On the claw part of the mark, there happens to be a pile of bones.
“Could this be the totem of a certain god?” Ning Rongrong guessed.
Ning Tianchen thinks this is possible, but the information they have received so far is too little to determine the specific situation here, let alone link it to the gods.
“Boss, look, is this a soul bone?”
Chen Huayu picked up a bone and asked.
Ning Tianchen's eyes swept from the bones in his hand, and then looked at the pile of bones on the ground.
After a pause, he stepped forward, bent down and looked carefully.
The style of these bones is very similar to soul bones, but there is no soul power fluctuation in them.
Pick up a bone and crush it into pieces with a little force.
After thinking for a moment, he spread his hands and said in a neutral tone: "We arrived tens of thousands of years too late, and this pile should have been all soul bones. But too long has passed, and the soul power in the soul bones has long been lost. , all failed.”
“Ah!”
Chen Huayu and Oscar held their heads in great regret.
After a rough count, there are at least twenty bones of different sizes here. If there were twenty soul bones, wouldn't they make a lot of money.
"There will be soul bones in the future, just keep an eye on it." Ning Tianchen patted the two of them on the shoulders.
Although it is a pity that twenty soul bones have expired, these soul bones may not all be high-end soul bones, so there is no need to dwell on this.
After briefly checking the surrounding situation, Ning Tianchen and others retreated and continued to move upward.
After climbing for an unknown distance, everyone arrived at the end of the stairs, which is also the highest point of the ruins.
Under the light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tower, they suddenly discovered that there was a manhole cover above their heads.
“Isn’t this the exit?”
Chen Huayu took a few steps forward and tried to lift the lid with all his strength.
Ning Tianchen immediately took his hand, and with the combined efforts of the two of them, the manhole cover made a "clang" sound. As the manhole cover continues to be lifted, a ray of light shines into it.
Not long after, the two lifted the manhole cover, and the outside sunlight completely poured in.
Above the Wujian Deep Cave, an unknown person transformed it into a ruins. This shaft can lead directly to the outside world. When the manhole cover is opened, strong wind howls out.
“That’s not right.”
Ning Tianchen touched his chin.
Thanks to the unique treasure appraisal ability of the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda Wuhun, he could feel that the material of the manhole cover and the steps under his feet were not rare metals, and were completely different from the main hall when he came.
This shaft should also be a soul guide, but it is obvious that this soul guide has long since failed, otherwise they would not be able to easily lift the manhole cover above their heads.
“What’s wrong?”
Oscar and Chen Huayu asked in confusion.
"These are two ruins. The main hall when we came here should be a new ruin built on the basis of this shaft. Moreover, the time when the two ruins were built was at least ten thousand years apart."
< br>Ning Rongrong added: "Brother Tianchen is right. When we came, the soul guidance device in the hall was not ineffective. If it was built at the same time, the difference between the inside and the outside could not be so big."
It seems that they have discovered the riddle.
If you want to solve the mystery, you must find out who built these two ruins.
Ning Tianchen looked down and sighed: "I hope Xiaotian can find something over there."
At present, they have received too few hints. If Feng Xiaotian and his party do not find out at all, the answer to this mystery may never be solved.
"Let's go down first, we have finished exploring."
......
After one hour, the two sides returned to the starting point to meet.
Feng Xiaotian pointed to the top of his head and couldn't help but ask: "Have you opened the top?"
Ning Tianchen smiled and said: "Yeah, don't you feel that the wind is no longer flowing in here?"
Feng Xiaotian nodded, and the two parties exchanged each other's findings.
Feng Xiaotian and his party continued down, all the way to the end of the stairs.
Among them, there are two secret rooms below, one of which is completely locked by the soul guide and they cannot open it. The soul guide protecting another secret room had long since failed, but they didn't gain much from it.
First, take Feng Xiaotian and the four of them to the ruins where the soul bones appear above.
Immediately afterwards, everyone moved downwards to explore the remaining two ruins.
On the way, Feng Xiaotian and others felt sorry.
Twenty soul bones were just gone, no one would feel sad.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the first secret room below.
There is nothing special about this secret room. It is similar to the one above. There are also blue and green claw marks on the door lintel.
There is nothing special in the secret room, it is more like a pure room for retreat and practice.
In the cave where the secret room at the bottom is located, there is a lighted soul lamp nearby.
Feng Xiaotian expressed his doubts, "It's very strange here. The ruins and soul guides above are obviously broken, but here they are intact. We have tried various methods before, and it didn't work at all. This secret room cannot be opened.”
Ning Tianchen patted his shoulder. Said: "This is not one ruins, but two ruins. The two ruins were built together, with a gap of ten thousand years. Therefore, the soul guides in the ruins built later did not fail."
"That's troublesome, we can't find a way to get in at all." Feng Xiaotian frowned.
Ning Tianchen entered it and examined it carefully.
This ruins looks like a circular building. There are no blue-green claw marks on the lintel, and there are no eye-catching signs around it.
After thinking about it, he took out the Seven Kills Sword and slashed it on the wall.
The sword shook violently, but did not leave any traces on the wall.
"I'll go, how do I get in here?" Chen Huayu couldn't help but complain.
Compared to the other two secret rooms, this secret room is not intended to be the largest. I think there are a lot of good things inside.
“Let me take a look.”
Ning Rongrong felt that there was something about this ruins that attracted her.
The moment her palm touched the door of the secret room, a ray of golden energy separated from the golden mark on her forehead.
Falling onto the door, there was a faint sound, and then, the door to the secret room slowly opened.
"Is it open now?"
Everyone was stunned.
In order not to expose the divine test, Ning Rongrong smiled awkwardly and said: "I seem to have touched some kind of mechanism."
Everyone rushed into the secret room without asking too many questions on this issue. Just search for treasure.
Ning Tianchen deliberately stayed at the end of the team. Ning Rongrong said to him alone: "Brother Tianchen, I think this place may be related to the God of Light."
Ning Tianchen nodded.
For the specific situation, we have to enter the secret room and get more information to prove it.
......
There is an altar in the middle of the secret room. There are five stone statues standing around the altar with long swords in front of them. There is a long sword emitting sacred light in the center of the altar.
“Artifact!”
Ning Tianchen made a judgment in his mind.
Chen Huayu wanted to step forward and take it away, but he quickly stopped him.
"The fifth soul skill is powerful in all directions!"
The Seven Killing Sword flew out and landed in front of Chen Huayu. The soul power fluctuations emanating from the sword drove the latter back.
Chen Huayu got up and asked quickly: "Boss, what are you doing!"
Ning Tianchen explained: "Don't approach rashly. A little bit of sword energy in this sword can kill all of us."
Based on the current situation, this long sword is likely to be a bright sword. God's artifact.
Ning Rongrong is the inheritor of the God of Light, and only she can take away the artifact.
However, this is likely to be part of Ning Rongrong’s future assessment, so it’s best not to act rashly at the moment.
"Fat man, what Tianchen said makes sense, you can't be rash." Oscar patted him on the shoulder.
Chen Huayu shrank his neck angrily and turned around to look for other treasures.
Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the sword in the altar, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
She could feel that this sword seemed to be prepared for her.
But when she wanted to step forward and take away the sword, there was always a voice in her mind warning her not to approach easily.
Ning Tianchen noticed her emotions, walked to her side, and comforted: "Rongrong, you will have the opportunity to take it away in the future."
Ning Rongrong nodded dullly, but did not move his eyes away from the sword.
Not long after, Feng Xiaotian shouted: "Everyone, come and see, there are murals here."
Hearing this, everyone rushed to his side.
Looking carefully around, there are many more murals than just the one pointed out by Feng Xiaotian.
Ning Rongrong and Ning Tianchen looked at each other in unison.
The style of this mural is similar to the murals they saw in the core area of the Far North. (End of this chapter)
