Asking Immortals: From the Republic of China to Marvel

After walking around the corner of the city wall, and then crossing the West Palace Gate, until they were far away from the Loulan Palace, no foreign objects in the palace were disturbed. The three of them had breath-condensing spells to hide their auras, and no "monster" chased them.

Walking silently in this empty, quiet and closed environment, the atmosphere seems extremely strange, and the inexplicable unknowns make people fearful for no reason.

After a short walk, there was no road ahead, and the building was completely pushed behind them. However, the three of them did not stop and continued to move forward in a straight line.

No roads means that the smooth roads built by humans have disappeared and turned into dry land like a wasteland. It must have been a park or something like that.

There are sporadic wooden piles on the land that have not completely decayed. Through the reflection of light, you can still vaguely see the faint outline of the building in the distance ahead.

After walking for more than a hundred meters, the terrain suddenly sloped downward, and a huge funnel-shaped depression covering an area of ​​at least two hectares appeared in front of them.

The deepest point is at least forty or fifty meters from the ground. The obvious layer-by-layer segmentation on the slope indicates that this place was once a large lake.

Now it has completely dried up, leaving only the hard salt crust layer. The entire funnel-shaped depression reflects dense light spots, which looks extremely gorgeous.

"Professor Ye, what are these reflections?" Chen Zhizhi, who had never seen such a scene before, aroused a strong desire for knowledge.

"Salt crystallizes."

"What about those green reflections underneath?"

Hearing Ye Zixuan's explanation, Chen Zhizhi nodded secretly, but immediately continued to ask, because these reflected dense light spots also contained a warm green light that was not very obvious.

"Here... just go down and take a look and you'll find out."

Ye Zixuan also couldn't understand why green crystals appeared on the bottom of this dry lake. Or maybe it wasn't crystalline ore, but something else.

We have to walk to the opposite side anyway, so why not go straight across and take a look? This way, in an open-air environment, we can react in time to any situation.

Then the three of them slowly descended along the slope of the funnel, and soon they were close to the bottom of the dry lake. They were so close that under the light, the three of them could clearly see the details of these green lights.

It turned out to be a pair of jade axes stuck vertically, about a foot long. The ax blade is still shining with a cold light. It seems that the quality of the material is not low, at least it has reached the level of chalcedony.

This chalcedony is not quartz, but the essence of real jade. There are many mineral veins in the salt lake. It is easy to produce more than cubic chalcedony from a jade mine of several kilometers.

Chalcedony is equivalent to the heart of the mineral vein, and there is a higher-level core above the heart. It is a rare stone that is even more precious than chalcedony, at least reaching the level of essence.

"Don't touch!"

Seeing Chen Zhizhi trying to pull out a jade ax from the ground, Ye Zixuan took a few steps forward, grabbed his arm, and signaled with a solemn expression not to move rashly.

Because when she reached the bottom of the dry lake, Ye Zixuan suddenly sensed that the vague residual energy here was several times higher than that above.

Moreover, the number of jade axes on the ground implies the number of Zhou Tian, ​​which corresponds to the stars of Zhou Tian, ​​but the arrangement is not the formation of Zhou Tian stars, but an unknown Qimen formation.

It seems to be a formation that utilizes the energy of the stars. Although it has been covered by the rock formations and the magic has gone, I don't know if it still has any remaining effects.

The location of the formation is not far from the palace, and it was even hidden under the lake. It is probably the core of the defense formation for the capital of Loulan.

With his acquired perfect abilities, he still doesn’t know if these jade axes are still connected to the formation eyes in other locations in the Loulan capital. If he acts rashly, unforeseen changes may occur.

At best, it would be light to disturb some aliens or guardian spirits. At worst, this core of the formation might be the source of maintaining the stability of the entire city.

If something unexpected happened, it might cause the rock formation at the top of the arc to collapse. In the worst case, all three of them would be buried here.

Even if Ye Zixuan had some means to save her life, she might not be able to escape. After all, she was hundreds of meters underground. With such depth pressure, even earth escape might not be possible.

"These jade axes may carry an unknown curse. Do you remember those bugs that made us dizzy before?! It's better not to touch them!"

"Really? This is too scary~"

"I just wanted to pull one out and have a look..."

Seeing the confusion on Chen Zhizhi's face and the confusion on Wu Yuzhen's face, Ye Zixuan turned to explain, and the eyes of the two people flickered.

He secretly took a few steps away and distanced himself from the jade axe. He had no choice but to be frightened by the weirdness of those "mysteries". When he heard some curse or the like, he couldn't help but want to stay away.What kind of treasures and possessions are not as important as life?

Seeing the reaction of the two people, Ye Zixuan laughed secretly. Again, these little girls are so easy to fool... The next moment, she turned to comfort and urge:

"Okay, don't be regretful. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's get out of here~"

"Yeah~" "Okay."

After the two responded, they began to step over the jade axes cautiously and walked toward the funnel slope on the opposite side. Ye Zixuan was no exception.

The unknown curse is fake. Don't touch it. It's definitely not a lie, but it really shouldn't be touched.

After a moment, the three of them climbed onto the wasteland on the opposite side. A few minutes later, they re-entered the street surrounded by buildings and headed unswervingly towards the north exit of the city.

Ancient city planning, due to wars, was extremely rigorous and cumbersome. There would never be one main road leading directly to the palace, but it would be divided into several sections or even circuitous routes.

Although there was lighting, the entire Loulan capital was still generally dark. None of the three of them had seen the city planning drawings. Chen Zhizhi and Wu Yuzhen were even more confused and couldn't figure out where they were.

The three people's journey relied entirely on Ye Zixuan's sense of direction, twisting and turning in the capital of Loulan. According to the estimate before entering the city, the entire Loulan Kingdom was about ten kilometers in radius.

From the palace to the north exit of the city, the straight-line distance was no more than five kilometers. It took the three of them nearly four hours to reach the north gate.

Looking out from the city gate, it was dark outside the city, and the specific situation could not be seen clearly. Ye Zixuan saw that both of them were a little tired, and had been affected by the power of the curse before, and their mental state was much worse than ordinary people.

I could only find a residential house not far from the city gate, and prepare to recharge my batteries before hitting the road... well, we'll set off again.

The next step is to actually find the exit. Compared with the Loulan Kingdom, it is full of uncertainties. Maybe you can leave easily, or you may be trapped underground forever.

Then Ye Zixuan took out the food and water. After eating and drinking, the three of them began to rest separately. Before Chen Zhizhi and Wu Yuzhen lay down, Ye Zixuan also specially reminded them to remember to call themselves when they need convenience.
