Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 244 The Ancient Well and the Vines

The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, most of the pavilions and corridors of the houses have collapsed, and the old scenery is no longer there.

Qin Sang suppressed the joy in his heart, glanced around vigilantly, restrained his breath, walked in ambush, and followed the fire jade centipede into the courtyard.

Finally, Qin Sang entered a deserted courtyard, stood in front of the moon gate, and looked at the courtyard in front of him.

Even the ruins have unimaginable luxury. The ground of the courtyard is paved with precious jade pieces one foot square. These jade stones are placed in the secular world, and each one can be a treasure handed down from generation to generation.

Some of the jade stones have been broken or incomplete, and clusters of weeds have grown in the gaps between the jade stones. In addition, there are houses with only remnants of walls behind, making the entire courtyard look extremely desolate.

The courtyard is not big, and it can be seen at a glance.

The eyes can't see anything strange in the courtyard.

Qin Sang scanned the courtyard back and forth dozens of times with his divine sense, not letting go of every corner. He didn't find any spiritual objects, nor did he find any hidden restrictions.

The strange thing is that the target of the fire jade centipede is very clear, it is this small courtyard.

The fire jade centipede struggled violently in Qin Sang's palm, gnawing at the spiritual power bound to her body with extreme anxiety. Its perception must not be fake, and there must be something tricky in the courtyard.

Qin Sang frowned slightly, raised his foot, and walked in cautiously. He walked around the corner of the wall, and then walked through every inch of the courtyard. Everything was as usual. Even when he tried to destroy a piece of precious jade, he was not counterattacked.

This is not surprising, if the spiritual object was so easy to find, it would have already been taken away.

Qin Sang returned to the moon gate, looked down at the fire jade centipede, and then let it go.

However, the slender body of the fire jade centipede immediately flicked and bounced, shooting out like a line of fire, landing on the edge of the white jade, and then a scene that surprised Qin Sang happened.

The Fire Jade Centipede crawled on the ground quickly following a peculiar route. Its body sometimes twists and turns, and sometimes swings back and forth. The crawling route is not a straight line, which is extremely complicated and mysterious.

As the Huoyu Centipede crawled faster and faster, Qin Sang suddenly felt a subtle fluctuation in the courtyard.

Before this, Qin Sang didn't notice anything unusual!
Is this some kind of illusion?

With the passage of time, Qin Sang could even see with the naked eye that ripples appeared in the void. Fortunately, this kind of fluctuation was not obvious, otherwise it would be very likely to attract other people.

But even at this moment, Qin Sang still couldn't perceive what kind of formation was arranged in the courtyard, let alone break the formation.

Just when Qin Sang was secretly wondering, the front half of the fire jade centipede suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Qin Sang's eyes suddenly focused, and hurriedly activated the restraint left on the fire jade centipede, fixing it in place.

Half of the fire jade centipede's body entered the unknown space, and the other half of its body remained outside, as if its body had been cut off by the void, very strange.

Qin Sang skimmed to the side of the fire jade centipede, but found that no matter how she moved, she couldn't enter that space, she couldn't help being secretly surprised.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Sang ordered the fire jade centipede to retreat to the front of the moon gate, then attached his consciousness to the fire jade centipede, followed it step by step, and entered the courtyard.

There was nothing unusual at first, but after a while, Qin Sang noticed a mist suddenly formed around him, and then the mist became thicker and thicker, and the surrounding scenery became dreamlike and unclear, as if in a fairyland. middle.

Suddenly, Qin Sang's heart moved and he stopped. A strange mirror appeared in front of him. The surface of the mirror fluctuated slightly, as if it was made of water.

This is the core of the formation. Qin Sang realized in his heart that the fire jade centipede should have entered the water mirror just now, so half of his body disappeared.

The fire jade centipede is still intact, so it can be seen that there should be no danger inside, but it is better to be cautious.

Qin Sang called out the ebony sword to protect his body, and stepped into the water mirror.

In an instant, the clouds cleared away.

The courtyard is still the same courtyard.

The distant mountains are still the distant mountains.

The runes in the air were crimson, like a sea of ​​fire covering the sky.

Everything before seemed to be a dream.

Other than that, the only change was that there was a well in the center of the courtyard out of thin air. Qin Sang was standing at the edge of the well, leaning slightly, looking down.

The ancient well is deep, and the spiritual consciousness swept across the bottom of the well. Everything is normal. It is an ordinary well. The bottom of the well can be barely seen with the naked eye. The water inside has already dried up, and the bottom of the well is glowing with a deep black. The stone steps that allow one person to pass extend all the way to the ground.

The reason why the owner of the courtyard set up such a powerful and secret phantom array is to hide this well!

Qin Sang was extremely expectant, touched the puppet bag, a zombie jumped into the well, walked down the stone steps, and finally disappeared from sight.

The zombies were still not attacked until they were almost out of Qin Sang's perception.

Qin Sang hurriedly jumped into the well, trailing far behind the zombie.

The stone steps were long, pointing directly to the depths of the ground. As Qin Sang walked deeper and deeper, he felt that the surrounding air was getting hotter and hotter. He secretly guessed in his heart that the stone steps would not directly connect to the magma river, right?
At this moment, Qin Sang sensed that the zombie had reached the end of the stone steps, he hurriedly let the zombie back, and then slid down silently.

……

"hiss!"

Qin Sang stood on the last step of the stone steps, not daring to vent his breath, the anticipation and joy on his face disappeared without a trace, and what was replaced was an extremely dignified expression.

He guessed right, this stone step actually connected to the magma river, but instead of being directly connected to the magma river, it entered a huge cave.

The burrow is nearly ten feet high, and it is so vast that it is impossible to see the edge.

At the bottom of the catacombs, it doesn't seem to be called a river anymore, it is more appropriate to say it is a lake of magma.

Like the trial ground, there is exactly the same circular restriction on the magma lake.

However, there was no mist blocking the view in the crypt, and the naked eye could clearly see countless flame flying monkeys playing and fighting over the magma lake.

The most noticeable thing is that in the center of the magma lake, that is, in the middle surrounded by monkeys, there are several huge fiery red vines growing out of the magma lake.

These vines are entangled together, as thick as several people's arms, like an ancient tree with sparse branches and leaves, stretching straight to the dome of the crypt, sprouting roots, firmly clinging to the stone wall, and hanging down again.

At the tip of the thickest vine, a palm-sized round fruit hangs.

This fruit is actually golden in color, which looks unusually abrupt.

The flying monkeys seem to know the preciousness of the fruit, and they will stay away from it when they are fighting.Perhaps, they are more like guardian beasts of vines and fruits.

The number of flying monkeys here is far less than that in the trial ground, but Qin Sang stood still and did not dare to break in to pick the fruits.

Because the color of the flame on the flying monkey is not red, but dark red!
Even if they were fighting, every time they made a move, they still had the power to shock Qin Sang.
