Chapter 384: A dangerous road (guaranteed)
The stone door in the middle opened again, but this time no new obstacles jumped out.
However, the two of them did not go in immediately, but looked around.
"Would you like to see the other two doors?" Zhou Qing asked Ning Wan.
“Three gates, three roads, will there be any difference?”
Ning Wan pondered, she was also a little undecided, this tomb was completely unfamiliar to her.
"Open another door and have a look."
Zhou Qing nodded, went to the left, and pressed the fingerprint mechanism.
"Boom!"
The stone door opened, and there were four more puppets inside. Their strength was similar to that of the door in the middle. It didn't take long for them to be solved by two more people.
"It seems like these puppets should be guarding behind the three gates." Zhou Qing looked at the third stone gate.
“Should we explore separately?”
Does the place behind each stone door lead to a different place? Are the three paths represented by these three doors correct and wrong? They are not clear about other issues.
Exploring separately seems to be a better choice on the surface.
Ning Wan thought for a while and finally shook her head, rejecting the proposal to explore separately.
"There are three gates here. Even if we explore separately, one gate will be missed. It is better to concentrate on one road."
"It won't be simple here. The corpse puppet of the Bone Refining Realm is just the beginning. It can make me As a task for the headquarters assessment, my father and my mother worked together. There is at least the danger of manifesting the holy marrow realm here.”
“We should not separate.”
The danger of manifesting the holy marrow purifying realm. Your parents really love you...
< br>"Then I'll listen to you."
Zhou Qing didn't have any objections. The person making the decision for this action was Ning Wan. He could give her opinions, but he would definitely not go against her.
This is Ning Wan’s exclusive assessment task, not his.
Ning Wan added: "Don't worry, let's choose a door first. If we don't find the ghost corpse fire behind this door in the end, then we will go back and enter other doors again to search."
Ning Wan gave Zhou Qing a guarantee to show that she would not breach the contract.
“Let’s wait and see later. If we are lucky, we can achieve what we want in just a few steps.”
After making up their minds, the two opened the third door.
Although they guessed that the gatekeepers of the three gates may be the same, they have not seen it with their own eyes, so it is better to try it in person to avoid missing anything.
However, there was no accident. Behind the third door were four corpse puppets who came to deliver food.
This thing is really easy to deal with. It has no intelligence and is made of secondary processing of corpses. It can be handled easily without any accidents.
So, twelve corpse puppets were harvested directly.
"Is this thing valuable?" Zhou Qing was curious.
“We can’t know until detailed inspection and evaluation are carried out.” Ning Wan replied:
“It depends on whether it can be repaired and whether it can be controlled by others. If not, then It’s of no value.”
“This kind of being puppeted. Corpses refined by the technique cannot be used to practice the corpse-refining technique. If they cannot be controlled by other puppet masters, then I have to find a place to burn them."
"Tianyue. There was an underground beast farm of the Tianming Sect in the county. There should be puppets in it, right?”
Obviously, the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is well-informed.
Zhou Qing nodded, "There are puppets, and they can even talk to people, as if they have intelligence."
"When we went deep into the underground beast farm, we found tokens. You can only enter with the permission of the puppet."
< br>"That kind of puppet is very valuable, far more valuable than this kind of corpse puppet." Ning Yuan said:
"Unfortunately, it is difficult to preserve such puppets and will be eroded by time, unlike corpse puppets and Other ordinary puppets can be stored for a long time.”
"A spirit puppet from the Destiny Sect can be sold at a high price in Ten Thousand Stars City."
"Has anyone developed a puppet similar to the spirit puppet now?"
"Yes. , but it cannot be as popular as the Tianming Sect, and the cost of cultivating a spirit puppet is very high.”
Ning Wan said: "But judging from the various relics of the Tianming Sect, the technique of spirit puppets is very mature there. They can easily refine a large number of spirit puppets. It is really magical and unpredictable."< br>
“This method is something that all the major forces want to crack and possess.”
Zhou Qing thought to himself, what is the spirit puppet? Listening to the meaning of the spirit puppet in the Earth Beast Field, the Tianming Sect even studied the life of the puppet.
Puppets that can practice independently and improve themselves like humans can be said to be puppets.
It’s really incredible.
In the communication room, the two of them had already walked into the middle door.
Because I really can’t see any difference between the three gates, I have no choice but to choose their initial path.
After entering the door, the same corpse oil lamp as in the square was lit again, and the unpleasant smell filled the air again.
Zhou and Qing were very cautious and tried not to breathe the air here, fearing that the smell would be weird.
Thanks to their high cultivation, otherwise they would not have dared to enter such a large tomb that had not seen the light of day for a long time.
With their cultivation levels, there is no problem in holding their breath for a period of time.
But it is impossible not to breathe forever, so we can only be cautious and cautious.
The passage behind the door was very long. Zhou Qing and the others walked for a long time without seeing anything else, which made people a little confused.
"Ning Wan, this tomb is too big, isn't it?"
Zhou Qing said, looking at Ning Wan, but just this look was surprising.
He actually saw Ning Yuan disappear with his own eyes.
Inexplicably, it disappeared directly in front of his eyes.
"Hoo!"
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and a series of screams sounded.
One after another, fierce ghosts flew from the depths of the passage, roaring towards Zhou Qing. The yin energy was full and the ghost energy was boiling.
Each ghost exudes a terrifying energy. Zhou Qing has experienced this energy before, and it is similar to the Holy Monk!
A large group of holy-level ghosts are coming towards you. Even if you have awe-inspiring energy, it is impossible to withstand this!
Zhou Qing concentrated, but soon sneered.
The ability of the yin and yang eyes was automatically activated just now, and there was nothing in front of them. How could there be any group of holy ghosts!
Zhou Qing immediately understood that it was all an illusion!
He was certain in his heart. After seeing through the illusion, he turned around and saw that Ning Wan had not disappeared at all. She was always beside him, but she stopped moving forward. It seemed that she was also trapped in the illusion.
But before Zhou Qing tried to wake Ning Wan up from the outside, her body moved, and then she looked at Zhou Qing. It was obvious that she was also awake.
"Illusion?"
"Probably."
The two turned their heads in perfect agreement, only to realize that the stone door was still vaguely visible, and the distance they walked out was not actually that far.
“How was this illusion triggered?”
“There are two possibilities. One is that there is an illusion in the passage behind the door, and the other is that after we came down, That’s the smell I’ve always smelled.”
Zhou Qing nodded, what Ning Wan said made sense.
The two of them carefully checked the passage again and found no dharma patterns engraved on it. Although the stone walls that formed the passage were not made of ordinary stones, they were not made of high-grade materials and did not cause any damage. Fantasy effect.
Zhou Qing pondered for a while and said, "I think the illusion just now was not very strong."
"Yes, it is not strong, and it is not perfect either." Ning Yuan nodded, "If it is with It makes sense if it's related to the smell. After all, we have been very careful not to inhale much."
They have tried to reduce the amount of smell here as much as possible, and the amount is not much.
If this was the source of the illusion, then their caution had indeed helped them.
After studying for a while, the two continued to move forward. When Zhou Qing stepped on a piece of floor, his feet suddenly disappeared. The road ahead actually "broken", the road collapsed, and a dark space emerged here.
Zhou Qing's body tilted, and then he quickly regained his balance. His mental power poured out to hold himself up. Ning Yuan also caught him in time to prevent him from falling into the space below. .
“What the hell?” Zhou Qing was annoyed.
He has been very careful, and he has never stopped whether it is observing with his naked eyes or suppressing his spiritual perception.
But until I stepped there myself, there was nothing unusual about the collapsed road ahead.
Not only did he not notice anything unusual, but neither did Ning Wan. Zhou Qing was a man and his steps were longer. If Ning Wan was in front of her just now, it would be Ning Wan who triggered the mechanism.
She looked at the deep hole in front of her and said:
“There is such a primitive mechanism.”
Yes, the expression of this trap is indeed very primitive.
Zhou Qing squatted down and carefully observed the deep hole. It was too dark down there, without any light, and swallowed up all sight and perception.
The warrior's vision and the monk's spiritual perception are ineffective when facing below, and they have no idea what it looks like below.
Obviously, this is not normal. Some kind of extraordinary power must have been used to build this tomb, and its level is higher than that of Zhou Qing and Ning Yuan at this time, so it is impossible to peek.
“If it falls, the result will not be pretty.”
Because it was too dark below to see anything, Ning Yuan came up with a guess.
“Could it be that the entire passage is empty?”
“That’s really not good news.”
What did Zhou Qing discover? , lowered his head a little, and made a sound of surprise.
“There seems to be some patterns carved on the back of the floor?”
Ning Wan also made the same move and vaguely saw the lines Zhou Qing mentioned.
“Perhaps these lines are the culprit that prevents us from perceiving this mechanism.”
“It’s hard to see clearly, and it’s impossible for us to decipher these lines.”
< br>None of them are masters in this way. The owner of this tomb has unpredictable cultivation and the means are not something they can easily solve.
Zhou Qing stood up and looked across the deep cave.
This distance won't make it difficult for them, but what if the stone slab on the opposite side is also a trap...
"Try it with a corpse puppet."
Ning Yuan took out a corpse puppet and threw it over , there was no response after hitting the ground hard.
"Let me go first." Zhou Qing said.
Ning Wan took out another rope and tied it to Zhou Qing as a safety net.
Then Zhou Qing jumped up and landed on the opposite side without any accident.
“Come here.”
Ning Yuan nodded and jumped over.
But then the two of them became more careful. Ning Yuan directly tied up a corpse puppet and threw it forward with every step to explore the path in case there were new ones. The agency appears.
After walking for a while, Zhou Qing discovered that Ning Wan beside him was missing again.
Another fantasy?
Then the passage ahead began to collapse from the end, quickly spreading towards Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing concentrated, and his yin and yang eyes moved deeper and deeper. Sure enough, it was still an illusion, the passage in front did not collapse at all, and Ning Wan was still beside him.
Zhou Qing's eyes are not simply yin and yang eyes. He has also taken various eye-improving treasures.
For example, if you look at the six-way stone, this object may have the effect of seeing through illusions, and there are also various other eye-catching objects dropped by Brother Shu.
Moreover, Yin Yang Eyes is a talent. As his cultivation level increases, the effect of this talent will naturally increase. At least with his current cultivation level, it is definitely not at its limit.
Therefore, Zhou Qing's eyes are quite special and very convenient. He likes them very much.
I don’t know what method Ning Wan used to break the illusion, but this thing couldn’t trap her.
Ning Wan said: "Here we go again. There must be something weird about this passage. It is most likely an illusion caused by the smell and the passage."
At the same time, she was also a little surprised in her heart. She did not expect Zhou Qing's ability in illusions is also so outstanding that he seems to be able to see through them easily.
But even with the means to see through the illusion, Zhou Qing's expression turned serious.
"What's wrong? What did you find?" Ning Yuan asked.
“I’m afraid that this illusion will change further.” Zhou Qing said:
“If the illusion appears a few more times, we will be accustomed to preconceptions about what we will encounter later on this passage. I think it’s all an illusion, but what if a certain encounter turns out to be real?”
“What if the illusion gradually gets stronger and we can’t see through it?”
"Reality and illusion may no longer be distinguishable."
In the constant illusion, it would be too dangerous to suddenly experience reality.
Even if Zhou Qing and the others didn't see any flaws, they would still doubt whether it was true or false.
The combination of reality and illusion is the most deadly.
The most important thing is that because of the existence of ground mechanisms, they have no way to go fast and can only move forward slowly.
Ning Wan was silent, then nodded.
“What you said makes sense.”
Zhou Qing glanced at Ning Wan, hesitated, and then said:
“What I am most worried about is that after we After coming out of the illusion, I may not be me, and you may not be you.”
Ning Wan was slightly startled, her expression changed, she could understand what Zhou Qing meant.
When entering the illusion, they will lose track of each other, and they will not be able to see each other again until they break the illusion.
What if during this process, some other danger occurs here and one of them is replaced...
Then, they will...walk with ghosts.
Ning Wan took out a red ribbon from the space bracelet, which was a magic weapon.
She tied one end of the ribbon to her own hand and the other end to Zhou Qing's hand to confirm the other party's existence.
"Do it slowly, don't rush." Ning Yuan said:
"We still have more than a month."
Ning Yuan was referring to the final deadline for completing her task. There's still more than a month left.
"Yes."
The two continued to walk forward, and after a while, there was a sudden scratching sound above their heads, and then there was suction again.
"Huh!"
Zhou Qing and Zhou Qing moved in sync, raising their heads and retreating, but they did not encounter any danger. There was just a hole above them.
However, Zhou Qing felt a strange feeling in his body. He stretched his hand under the hole and finally determined where the strange feeling came from.
Zhou Qing looked strange and said, "This seems to be for the soul."
"Yes, my soul feels like it is being sucked away inside my body." Ning Wan nod.
"If we were walking here with our souls out of the body, then our souls might have been swallowed by this place just now."
The physical body is the best protection for the soul.
Zhou Qing let out a breath.
“This place is really... full of dangers.”
