Chapter 540 Underground Space
"Although the most critical map route is missing, as long as the entrance is opened, the treasures in the underground palace will undoubtedly be in our possession."
The leader of the dead clan warrior laughed ferociously.
Immediately, he waved his palm, and a rune jade slip floated up.
Following the activation, this area was instantly covered with an isolation formation light curtain.
Outside the light curtain of the formation, several dead warriors were left to guard it to prevent the formation from being destroyed by monsters moving around, causing the entrance here to be exposed.
As for many other members of the dead clan, they set off one after another and rushed directly into the energy light gate, leading directly to the underground world.
"I can't be slower either."
Upon noticing this, Lin Hao's eyes were slightly stern, and he immediately transformed into a flexible ape, quickly moving through the forest.
However, at this time, the nearby area was already covered by the mental power fluctuations of those dead warriors.
Any disturbance is within their senses.
"There's movement!"
The moment Lin Hao entered the range covered by their mental power, he was quickly discovered.
Buzz——!
For a moment, several waves of cold spiritual power formed a soul attack, targeting Lin Hao and rushing away at the same time.
Lin Hao's eyes instantly turned into a black and white whirlpool.
Samsara Martial Intent!
At the moment of activation, all those soul attacks were resisted, and counterattacks were launched along the opponent's mental fluctuation trajectory.
"Ahhhh!!"
Immediately, several screams sounded.
Those dead warriors were all attacked by the souls of the reincarnation martial spirit.
"Jing Ke, kill!"
Lin Hao's eyes turned cold and he gave the order directly without any hesitation.
Whoosh!
Jing Ke, who was already ready to attack, immediately started killing.
Its speed is so fast that it is like the god of death reaping life in the night.
After several quick flashes, the members of the dead tribe all fell to the ground and died without exception.
The whole process was fast and accurate, fully demonstrating Jing Ke's ability as an "ace killer".
Immediately, Lin Hao stretched out his palm, and Jing Ke flew onto his palm obediently.
Teleport.
The next moment, one person and one beast disappeared at the same time.
Penetrate directly from outside the isolation formation light curtain.
Looking at the energy light door in front of him, Lin Hao waited for a moment before entering it.
After a brief blur of vision, Lin Hao saw a dim passage.
The entire passage runs diagonally downward, apparently leading deep into the ground.
In order to avoid the sound of footsteps, Lin Hao's forward body was always floating in the air along the way.
Jing Ke was more than ten feet in front, responsible for clearing the way to prevent the secret ambush from the dead warriors just now.
There was no sound in the silent passage.
The stone path was extremely long, and it took Lin Hao more than an hour to move forward like this, but he still hadn't reached the end.
Gradually, the passage becomes steeper and the surrounding air becomes hotter and drier.
A red wave of air rushed towards his face, and bursts of hot energy swept through his body in an instant.
"What a rich fire energy!"
Lin Hao was slightly surprised.
Immediately, he mobilized a spiritual power to form a body-protecting spiritual energy shield covering the body surface, directly blocking all the scorching air waves.
If ordinary people got here, they might not be able to survive.
"boom!"
At this moment, a dull sound suddenly came from deep in the passage.
Lin Hao stopped and his eyes became alert.
Jing Ke didn't have the slightest fear and immediately flew to the depths, but there was nothing unusual about it.
In this regard, Lin Hao did not deliberately stop here and continued to move forward along the sloping passage.
Finally, Lin Hao reached the end of the passage, and a flaming red light appeared in his sight.
But deep at the end, there was a giant stone door.
Judging from the large hole it cracked, it was obviously forcibly broken open by the previous batch of dead warriors.
And the sound just now came from this.
When you walk into the broken door, you will see an extremely vast underground space.
The interior environment is not as dark as imagined, it is all dazzling red, surrounded by rugged rocks.
However, those strange rocks are not ordinary rocks.
The whole body is crystal red, exuding scorching fire energy fluctuations, mapping the underground space with a red light.
"Fire Crystal Source Stone?"
After looking at it, Lin Hao took out the Dragon-Eating Sword. The sword light passed by, and a red crystal was cut off immediately.
Holding it in his hand, Lin Hao's spiritual consciousness moved, and the fire energy in it was instantly absorbed by the 'Fire Poison Needle'.
The fire crystal source stone also turned into a pile of powder in an instant.
“The purity is good.”
Lin Hao nodded secretly. There were so many fire crystal source stones in the underground space, which was enough for the Flame Poison Fire Needle to have a full meal.
"This place is like a maze. The treasures in the core area should not be found so quickly."
Lin Hao glanced around and saw that the jagged crystal stones around him formed various cliffs and were divided into countless passages.
It looks like an underground maze.
Moreover, these fire source crystals seem to have a blocking effect, and spiritual consciousness cannot spread in depth to explore at all, and all routes can only use the naked eye.
In this situation, it is not that simple to find the hidden treasure without a map.
But for Lin Hao, it was a different matter.
Later, Lin Hao summoned the fire spirit and walked along the route of the map while letting the poisonous fire needles absorb the fire crystals along the way.
Under its absorption, wherever Lin Hao passes, the light gradually becomes dim at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The underground space is so vast that it seems to cover the entire mountain range.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, I only walked a little less than half of the route on the map.
However, the gains from the Flame Poison Fire Needle were quite large.
The speed of its absorption is getting faster and faster, and it has even caught up with Lin Hao's pace.
And its energy form has become more and more solid, filled with a heart-stopping flame power.
Once such a powerful wave erupts, it may be as powerful as a volcanic eruption!
At this time, in various places in the underground maze, those dead warriors were wandering around like headless flies.
There is no map to refer to, and there is no way to use mental power to find the way.
In such a situation, not to mention finding the place where the treasure was hidden, it would probably be extremely difficult to retrace the steps.
"If this continues, we will all be trapped here."
The leading dead warrior frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "We must think of a better way."
The surrounding men were silent, and for a while there was no better plan.
I originally thought that as long as they opened the entrance, even if there was no map reference, with their strong mental power, they would be able to quickly search for the core area of the treasure.
But now, it is completely beyond their control!
"A bunch of losers!"
Seeing that his subordinates had no expression, the leader of the dead clan warrior couldn't help but cursed in anger.
If I had known this, I should have found the missing piece of the treasure map beforehand.
"Keep looking!"
Chapter completed!
