Chapter 157 Ancient Cultivation Room
These desert monsters may have poor vision and cannot see too far away. They are circling around, which is obviously sensing by smell. However, there are many and very mixed smells here, so it is difficult to confirm the smell of Ye Xing and others.
But soon, the unretracted flying knife was surrounded by monsters in the sand and sniffed it.
Ye Xing and the other two thought that these monsters might be like this, so they were not too worried. They just stared at the group of evil and extremely ugly insects in silence.
But obviously it was not. Soon, these monsters began to swim to the location of the old city wall where Ye Xing and others stood, and were extremely agile and crawled towards Ye Xing. It can be seen that the monsters quickly identified Ye Xing's smell from the flying knife and confirmed that Ye Xing was the murderer.
In the dark, several strange insects bounced into the air and flew towards Ye Xing.
Ye Xing waved his right hand and several silver needles flew out. He heard a squeaking scream. Several monster insects fell, but soon, more monster insects bounced up.
Ye Xing said just as he said, "Go!", and the four of them jumped off the old city wall and ran out of the city. With light skills, they soon stopped more than ten miles away. The two eagles were in mid-air, and soon came to the place where the four of them stayed.
Qin Xinyue was a little scared and said, "These things are so disgusting. Why did you run away just now? It's better to set fire to death!"
Qi Ming nodded and said, "Oh my god, these monsters are really amazing. They can actually confirm the master's move!"
Ye Xing said, "I don't have many silver needles, and I'll lose it once I use them! There is no need to set fire. After all, we are just passing by. It's just that it's dawn, we have to find the three horses. Otherwise, the horse will die here in a few days!"
Qin Jingxuan said, "It's almost dawn. Look at these monsters, these strange insects may not be active during the day. The number may not be too large. If it were too many, we would have been surrounded long ago."
The yellow sand was endless, and the four of them dared not lie down to rest anymore, and there was no place to go, so they had to stand.
Ye Xing let go of his spiritual consciousness and scanned the vicinity over and over again, but he did not find any special place. However, when he was on the city wall just now, he felt a trace of spiritual consciousness staring at him, so he quickly left.
After leaving the ancient city for a few miles, Ye Xing felt that the extremely weak spiritual consciousness was gone. Now there should be no danger more than ten miles away.
Ye Xing suspected that those monsters were commanded by that spiritual sense, otherwise the monster's extremely small head would not have such wisdom.
The four of them stood on the leeward, chatting in a low voice, and paying full attention to the surroundings, with great wind and sand.
Ye Xing unfolded his coat and used his internal force to form a small barrier, blocking the wind and sand, allowing the three of them to stand on their side.
After chatting, it was dawn, the wind was getting weaker, and there was no flying sand and dust. Ye Xing took out some water and dry food, and the four of them started to chew.
The three of them were very happy all the way, and it was a wonderful itinerary like a vacation, but now they actually felt a little desolate.
Until it was completely dawn and the sun was already shining on the lonely ancient city, the four of them slowly walked back to the ancient city, wanting to take a closer look at the entire ancient city, and also wanting to find three horses.
Back to the side of the city wall where I stayed last night, the four of them did not dare to go down to the sand, and stood on the city wall and looked inside.
The four of them were shocked to find that the dead horse was gone, the bones on the edge were not left, and all the blood in the sand was gone.
If the monster worms suck blood, then the horse's corpse was left behind when taking the exam, but now they are gone. There is only one possibility, that is, the monster worms ate all the horses, and they didn't even leave their bones.
What a terrible monster insect, the number may actually be extremely large. If you don’t come out during the day, you may be afraid of light.
Ye Xing expanded his spiritual sense and enveloped the entire ancient city without any powerful aura, nor did he have the aura of strange insects nearby. The wind and sand all night long, and all the scenes on the ground that had changed, the three horses disappeared.
Ye Xing contacted the two eagles to check the three horses in the air. As a result, the two eagles received no information, but one of the two eagles found in the air. There was a strange place in the ancient city. What was it? The two eagles couldn't understand.
Ye Xing stood on the old city wall and observed it for a while, then used a telescope to look carefully at the entire ancient city. In the direction indicated by the two eagles, he saw a destroyed palace in the telescope. It was obviously an extremely luxurious place. Although all the buildings were gone, the jade white stones on the ground were sure to be extremely luxurious.
Ye Xing concentrated all his spiritual consciousnesses and extended them over. The location was probably the northwest corner of the ancient city. The spiritual consciousness was hindered and could not be scanned anymore. It was the place where he felt that there was a formation protection last night.
Ye Xing said to the three of them seriously, "We go there, the two birds have discovered something, but we must hold weapons and be careful."
For several years, Ye Xing had basically not spoken in such a tone, and all three of them were stunned, but immediately realized that Ye Xing's cautious appearance meant that the situation was indeed unknown, so they nodded and said yes.
The four of them used their light skills and also let go of their spiritual consciousness and rushed in that direction.
The whole city was covered with sand, with ruins and tiles. There was no complete building at all. Ye Xing did a simple investigation on each building and found nothing.
Soon we arrived at the location of the ancient imperial city recognized by Ye Xing, and the two eagles were set above this place.
The wall of the imperial city was also broken. When they jumped up on the wall and looked inside, the four of them found that it was a little green and a small piece of grass. Sure enough, here it was a bit special, at least there was little groundwater, otherwise it would be impossible to grow grass.
Ye Xing walked slowly along the wall, looking and sensing. Sure enough, he found that there was a place that blocked the spiritual consciousness. Generally, Ye Xing's spiritual consciousness could faintly penetrate three feet underground, but this obstacle was two feet underground.
Ye Xing jumped off the wall, walked to the place where there was a blocking spiritual consciousness, took out a shovel, and started shoveling sand. After thinking about help, Ye Xing stopped him and said, "Pay attention to the situation around you, don't come down!"
Ye Xing's hands and feet were quickly exposed. After pushing a foot of yellow sand, the roof of a building was exposed. Soon, Ye Xing accelerated the progress. After half an hour, the roofs of this small building were all revealed, and there were many glazed tiles, which were extremely luxurious.
Ye Xing looked inside from the glazed tiles and found that there was no sand inside. The small building was not big but a small room, but it was not damaged because of its integrity and tidyness.
Ye Xing wanted to reach out to reveal it, but found a small force blocking his hand. Ye Xing stretched out his hand with force, but he still touched the tiles. The small force of blocking was useless.
Ye Xing uncovered a few tiles and looked inside. He found a cushion inside, and there was nothing else, but it was extremely clean. Perhaps because of the protection of the formation, sand and dust could not enter.
Ye Xing uncovered more tiles and jumped into it.
Because there is light, it is very bright and can be seen clearly inside. It is a small practice room with the design and use of this protective formation on the surrounding walls.
Ye Xing learned the formation for a month and understood it a little. The formation is to use a kind of energy to define a range so that it will not be invaded, which generally requires great energy.
But this formation is different from the last time with Old Man Zhang. Old Man Zhang used mechanism design and some poisons to realize the formation. It was just a real physical isolation, and this was a formation supported by spirit stones, and the purpose should be to isolate the spiritual consciousness.
It is certain that this is the place to practice, so it is necessary to isolate the spiritual consciousness. Ye Xing quickly copied this formation with paper and pen, which may be useful in the future.
Ye Xing picked up the futon and found a trap under the futon. Ye Xing opened the trap and found that there was a small hole below, only a few feet in size, with a small cloth bag.
Ye Xing picked up the small cloth bag and found that it was filled with something, but it couldn't be opened.
After thinking about it, Ye Xing tried it with his spiritual sense and found that it was a space bag, which was very small, with several books, more than a dozen small stones, full of spiritual energy.
Ye Xing immediately determined that this was a spirit stone. Although he had never owned a spirit stone, he still understood.
After searching for a while, no more notices were found. Ye Xing put the cushion and small cloth bag into the space ring and jumped out.
Ye Xing put all the tiles as they were, and soon the power of blocking spiritual consciousness was released again. It was not big, but it was still in effect.
This ancient cultivation room was not destroyed because of the protection of the formation, but the protection of the formation requires the consumption of spirit stones. The extremely weak protection power now also means that the formation supports the spirit stones, and it will not take long to be destroyed by the yellow sand.
