Lu Chen's cold warning made the warriors present feel a chill in their hearts, and everyone who was about to make a move suddenly restrained themselves a little.
Ye Fan covered his bleeding wrist, his face was ashen, but he did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment of stalemate, a sudden change occurred!
"Click... click-click--!"
In the center of the basin, the huge demonic shadow let out an unwilling cry, and its huge body quickly dissipated like a sandcastle in the wind.
At the same time, above the ruins, the crack that was originally just a slight crack spread and expanded like a living thing, reaching a width of a hundred feet in an instant!
The edge of the crack is pitch black, and the inside is unknown how deep it is, exuding heart-stopping spatial fluctuations and an even richer Yao Qi!
The entrance to the treasure is completely open!
Those warriors who were less powerful or who came a step later were washed away by the soaring blood evil energy, and their faces turned pale and their breathing became rapid.
The temptation of the treasure is right in front of them, but the aura of death and ominousness exuding from the entrance is like cold shackles, torturing their courage and greed.
"This... this is by no means an ordinary High Antiquity relic! This is... the lair of a High Antiquity Great Demon demon! It is even the place where it fell and was buried!"
Su Qingxue covered her mouth and nose, her delicate body trembling slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with fear.
She had an extraordinary background and extensive knowledge, and she immediately judged from this aura how dangerous this place was, which was far more than expected.
"It doesn't matter what lair and burial place it is! Opportunity comes from danger!" In another team, a strong man with a beard on his face and whose cultivation level has reached the peak of Meridian Opening roared, his voice like thunder.
He obviously didn't want to let others take advantage of him. True Qi exploded in his body, and he punched out. The fierce wind of the punch directly shook several boulders blocking the road into powder. He was like a mad bull, rushing towards the entrance crack first!
"Go in first!"
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Ye Fan didn't care to cause any more trouble to Lu Chen. He gave a sharp shout and transformed into a blurry black shadow, arriving first and plunging into the bottomless crack almost at the same time as the bearded man.
Someone took the lead, and the oppressive atmosphere was instantly broken!
"Come on!"
"The treasure is inside!"
"Quick! Don't let Ye Family take the lead!"
In an instant, dozens of figures were like sharks smelling blood, rising into the air from all directions, rushing towards the crack that looked like the mouth of a giant beast. The scene was completely out of control, and the chaos reached the extreme!
However, in this chaos, several arrows hidden in the dark, quenched with a cold blue light, passed through the crowd silently like poisonous snakes, aiming directly at Lu Chen!
The angle is tricky and the timing is vicious!
Lu Chen's spirit has always been on high alert and was aware of it the moment the arrow left the string.
He flipped his wrist, and Shadow Short Blade appeared again, drawing out several rays of cold light and accurately hitting the arrow.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Sparks flew everywhere! However, the power contained in the arrow was not only sinister, but also carried a strange corrosive energy!
The moment it collided with the short blade, it made a slight "sizzling" sound, and Shadow Short Blade's gleaming blade was instantly eroded with several tiny white marks!
Lu Chen's eyes turned cold. This is no ordinary arrow!
Almost at the same time, deep in his mind, the cold and familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded:
[Unknown corrosive energy invasion was detected, containing the characteristics of demon rules, and was initially determined to be 'Bone-Eroding Demonic Baleful Intent'... it took ten years of Demon Devil Lifespan to conduct in-depth analysis... the analysis was completed. The energy structure has been recorded, and resistance is being generated...]
Ten years Demon Devil Lifespan evaporated in an instant, but in exchange was an instant insight into this sinister force!
Between the electric light and flint, the dark black True Qi in the palm of Lu Chen's left hand condensed crazily, and instantly turned into an extremely solid air shield with textures like tortoise shells. He shot it horizontally without hesitation, blocking the other two hidden arrows with even weirder angles!
"Bang!"
The air shield shook violently, and black light flashed randomly. The corrosive energy adhered to it, but it could not take effect as quickly as corroding the metal short blade.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Chen's eyes flashed sharply, and the three <Wind Thunder Spell-Breaking Talisman>s that had been held between his right fingers were thrown towards the entrance of the crack without hesitation!
He is not attacking a specific target, but is trying to make this muddy water even muddier!
"Boom! Click--!"
The three talismans exploded in mid-air, the dazzling lightning flashed like silver snakes, and the violent Wind Blade swept across all directions!
The power of thunder is extremely yang and strong, and it is the nemesis of all kinds of yin and evil energy.
The blood evil energy that had just gathered at the entrance was torn apart and dispersed in an instant. The powerful shock wave and raging lightning Wind Blade forced the warriors at the front, including several sneak attackers who tried to take the opportunity to approach Lu Chen, to panic and retreat continuously. Some people were even hit by the lightning and fell down screaming and blackened.
"Let's go!"
Creating this brief moment of chaos, Lu Chen grabbed Su Qingxue, who was still uneasy because of the strange crying and the blood-soaring blood, and stood at his feet<Shadow Step> Using it to the extreme, the two of them seemed to have merged into the gap between light and shadow, turning into an elusive light shadow. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was blocked by the talisman, they narrowly slipped into the huge crack!
My eyes suddenly darkened, and then I felt a strange and bizarre spatial transformation.
After a brief period of weightlessness and dizziness, my feet set foot on the ground again.
A disgustingly rich fishy-sweet smell, mixed with the strange smell of metal rust and some kind of biological decay, hit your face and went straight to your mouth and nose.
Su Qingxue couldn't bear it any longer. He retched several times and his face became paler.
Lu Chen steadied his body, the power of his soul spread around like mercury, while his sharp eyes quickly scanned the surrounding environment.
This is not the ruins of a palace or pavilion as you imagined, but more like a huge... intestine of a metal creature?
It is surrounded by twisting and winding dark red metal passages. The walls are not smooth, but are covered with thick bulges and depressions like a network of blood vessels and nerves, with countless complex and strange blood-colored runes engraved on them.
These runes seemed to be alive, flickering slightly, absorbing the blood-evil energy flowing in the air.
The ground under your feet was soft but hard, and there was an extremely uncomfortable sticky and elastic feeling when you stepped on it, as if you were really stepping on the internal organs of some huge creature.
The fishy sweetness filling the air is emanating from the walls and the ground. Death
Silence is the main theme of the entire space. Only the slight breathing and heartbeat of the two people are infinitely amplified in this strange passage.
"Follow me." Lu Chen whispered.
He gathered all his breath and walked carefully along the passage.
Su Qingxue suppressed the fear and discomfort in his heart, gripped his sword tightly, and followed Lu Chen step by step.
The passage is twisty and circuitous with many forks, like a maze.
Lu Chen relies on his powerful soul perception to always avoid some dead ends or energy traps that exude dangerous atmosphere in advance.
We couldn't move forward more than a hundred feet when suddenly--
"Found it! It's... ah--!!!"
Deep in a fork in the road ahead, the voice of Ye Fan suddenly sounded with ecstasy and excitement!
However, before the last words of his three words "found it" could be fully finished, they were replaced by a scream that was so shrill and deformed that it was full of extreme fear and pain!
The scream was short and high-pitched, as if the most terrifying thing in the world had happened. The sound stopped suddenly, as if something had strangled the throat!
Lu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and the power of the soul extended forward like a tentacle at an unprecedented speed.
The next moment, he saw clearly the scene in the relatively open stone chamber at the end of the fork in the road -
Ye Fan, and the only late-stage master Meridian Opening beside him, were kneeling on the ground at this moment, their bodies as stiff as stone sculptures.
Their faces were filled with extreme fear, and their eyes were so wide that they almost burst open. What was reflected in the pupils was a huge, slowly pulsing, blood-colored egg suspended in the center of the stone chamber, about the height of a person!
The surface of the giant egg was covered with dark red meridians, undulating slightly like a living thing. At this moment, a gap suddenly opened above the egg shell!
An arm covered with fine pitch black scales, with sharp black nails, as big as a baby, but exuding a strong death aura and a strange light, was... suddenly breaking out of the shell from the crack!
That weird arm seemed to sense the detection of Lu Chen's soul, and its fingers suddenly opened and pointed in the direction from which Lu Chen's soul came!
"Wow--!"
The baby's cry that was vague and vague before, as if it came from the ancient times, sounded again! This time, it was so close and clear, like a demonic sound penetrating the ears, directly impacting the person's soul!
Lu Chen only felt the sea of consciousness violently churning, and with a muffled groan, he forcibly cut off that part of the extended soul power, and his face instantly became extremely solemn.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingxue noticed something unusual about him and asked nervously.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, staring at the fork in the road ahead, and said word by word, "Ye Fan... may be dead."
"That thing inside... came out."
