Chapter 234: Underground Grottoes(1/2)
The next day.
After a whole night of continuous autumn rain, a sunny day finally came. The warm sun was pouring out freely, and the entire Musheng City was coated with a layer of golden coat.
In the center of the city, there is a low courtyard. This is the city lord's mansion built by Wang Miao specially ordered the apprentices. More than 100 warriors in the guards, as well as Mo Tianming, Ye Chun and many institutional masters and apprentices, live here.
In other words, this simple house is the core location of the entire Hope Island.
As Chen Musheng returned with many friends, the entire city lord's mansion became particularly lively.
A grand banquet was held in the mansion last night, and Chen Musheng also officially introduced Wu Ye, Lu Qiang, Sun Qing, Wu Yue and others to the owners of the guards.
These people have been saved by Chen Musheng, and their strengths are not weak. Lu Qiang, Sun Qing, and Wu Yue are all old martial arts who have been practicing abroad for many years. They have rich combat experience and are all Qianjun warriors at their peak. They are very strong. Wu Ye was so unlucky on Kunlun Island that he was swallowed by a ferocious beast. He could rely on the Turtle Breath Method. When Chen Musheng's rescue came, he could see his powerful cultivation. He was originally the top 30 platinum hunter in the Hunter Guild. The cultivation of the mid-level samurai is also a great help to the guardian power of Hope Island.
With the existence of two powerful generals Zhuyun and Chen Musheng, the armed forces of Hope Island have been raised to a new level. After all, it would be great to have a samurai guard in an ordinary floating island of a large family. But in the Hope Island, with Miss Ye Chun who is respected by everyone, there are four samurai warriors!
Chen Musheng's cultivation level of the Sky-Ling Warrior at the peak of his life is comparable to that of the Earth Warrior after he transforms into it, which is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of super strong men with one foot.
After the simple but extremely lively banquet, in the second half of the night, Chen Musheng continued to hide in the blacksmith shop in Jiuyou's fantasy realm, and continued to study the "metal purification technique". As Zhang Bo said at the beginning, the blacksmith shop's metal refining work will be handed over to their two strange apprentices.
Chen Musheng didn't feel the work of the blacksmith shop was boring and even enjoyed it. He knew very well that what he did and what he wanted to take was the path that a man who could be invincible in the world tens of thousands of years ago, who had been invincible in the world during the peak of martial arts.
I will never work hard in vain!
He firmly believed.
As the sky gradually cleared up in the outside world, Chen Musheng retreated from the illusion as night falls in the illusion.
"Today, go to the underground grottoes in the center of the island to check it out and determine if it is a real ancient ruin." Chen Musheng walked out of the door and walked downstairs with some anxiety in his heart.
The early morning of autumn is always a cool breeze, and the ferocious beasts that always emerge from the ground have arrived two days ago. According to convention, the next five days will be a period of safety. The guards in charge of guarding the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. Open the city gate and let any civilians enter and exit.
The people in the city have become accustomed to it. They know that as soon as the seventh day, the day when the bull-headed beasts attack, the city gate will be closed and no one will think of going outside the city. The warrior team led by Chief Mo Tianming will go outside the city and kill all the bull-headed beasts that are not alive.
"Ahhhh... I've just eaten five minutes full and pulled me out." Under the city gate, Zhu Yun stretched his waist and screamed unwillingly.
Chen Musheng walked behind and said speechlessly: "Brother Zhu, you have already eaten breakfast for thirty people, so don't go too far."
"Boy Chen, you don't know my appetite." Zhu Yun muttered: "When you reach your territory, you can't even eat enough. You're really stingy."
"Don't say it's so pitiful." Chen Musheng had already experienced Zhu Yun's appetite.
This fat man is afraid of being a big foodie himself. With the magical ancient martial arts of "The Dragon Transformation", he is unimaginable. Even if he eats for three days and three nights, he may not be able to eat enough. So during breakfast, Zhu Yun was in front of many warriors of the guard team and Feng Jue Canyun ate dozens of people's appetite, and Chen Mu dragged him out of the door.
"Master Zhu, I still have two steamed buns." Zhou Tiezhu solemnly took out two wrinkled steamed buns from his clothes, intending to honor Master Zhu.
"Two steamed buns are not enough to make me stuff my teeth. Forget it. After all, it was my disciple's intention, so Master accepted it with a smile." Zhu Yun said seriously, took the two steamed buns over, stuffed them into his mouth, and his huge body penetrated out of the city gate.
The two guards in charge of guarding the city gate looked up at the 100-meter-long fat figure, stunned.
Chen Musheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and followed Zhou Tiezhu closely.
When Chen Musheng went to the underground grotto in the center of the floating island, he was familiar with the road. The three of them identified the direction and used their light skills to quickly head towards the towering stone peak like a pillar in the center.
Although Zhou Tiezhu was born with a simple mind, he also had the highest level of cultivation. In addition, Chen Musheng also fulfilled some of his master's responsibilities during this period and taught him martial arts such as "The Palm of Heaven", "Tai Chi Cang", and "The Storm of Wind and Clouds", so after running desperately, he could keep moving forward.
This country man, carrying a hammer and trying hard to lift his breath, ran forward, staring at Chen Musheng's back with wide eyes, and was shocked to find that when his master was performing the "Storm and Clouds" sloping, his body was almost on the ground. After a night of autumn rain, the ground in the forests and shrubs outside the city became muddy, but Chen Musheng rushed past, but half of the footprints were not left on the muddy ground.
"My master's light skills are so high that they are nowhere to be seen..." Zhou Tiezhu thought to himself.
Chen Musheng did not notice Zhou Tiezhu's random thoughts, but subconsciously used his light skills to rush forward. He accidentally practiced the light skills of "Storm and Cloud Art". Now he has already arrived at the first level of "Little Body as Swallow" and is not far from the second level of "Waterless Trace". After all, he can leave no footprints on the muddy ground. Even in the river, as long as he uses "Storm and Cloud Art" with all his strength, he will be able to rush out hundreds of feet without falling to the ground.
However, this last level of "Swimming in the Sky" is something that Chen Musheng dared not even think about now.
The so-called traveling around the sky has almost gone from the category of light skills, which refers to rising directly from the ground and flying in the sky. Only the sky warriors like Lei Rui and Gongsun Changxing, and the more powerful and terrifying "Legendary Warriors".
As the name suggests, only the Sky Warrior has the ability to fly under the boundless sky, and the legendary Warrior is a martial arts realm that ordinary warriors dare not even imagine.
"arrive!"
The group of three people entered the dark underground and suddenly felt enlightened. This was a huge underground grotto, at least a hundred feet in a radius. There was a pool of cold water in the middle. The water surface was rugged and a faint white aura was scattered.
The blue light that illuminated the entire cave emitted from a huge translucent blue jade protruding in the middle of the pool. On the dark wall on one side of the pool, there are two bluestone gates with two meter-high and six meter-wide surfaces engraved with strange golden symbol patterns.
"It's here. Today we must find a way to figure out the secret behind this stone door." Chen Musheng said confidently, came to the stone door, holding the door bolt tightly with both hands.
The muscles in the body were tense up, and the thick true energy of the warrior who belonged to the peak period suddenly surged out, bursting out with hundreds of thousands of pounds of force.
The thick stone door showed no sign of being pulled.
"Can't it work?" Chen Musheng exhaled turbid breath and let go of his hands. He thought to himself, would he want to enter the incarnation state and use the tenth level of "Shenglong Break" to burst out all the power to try to see if the stone door can be blown open directly?
"Ahhhh!" Zhou Tiezhu swung the iron hammer and plucked his strength to hit the surface of the stone door. There was only a muffled sound. The hammer with tens of thousands of pounds of force did not even wipe out a trace of Mars.
"My mother, this door is so hard." Zhou Tiezhu muttered.
As a shrewd platinum hunter, Zhu Yun had details that were completely opposite to his appearance. At this time, he twisted his huge head and looked around. A hint of surprise appeared in his round eyes. He pointed to the huge blue jade in the middle of the pool and said, "What a big ice stone."
"Ice Stone?" Chen Musheng looked up in confusion.
"As a qualified hunter, you must be knowledgeable." Zhu Yun explained proudly: "This is just a legend. Ice Stone has magical effects on warriors who practice water-based martial arts. Legend has it that sitting on the ice Stone to practice true energy can be worth ten years in a year."
"Take it seriously?" Chen Musheng couldn't believe it. He tried to jump onto this ice stone, but almost frozen into an ice man. If he hadn't urged his true energy to jump away with all his strength, he would have been in danger.
Zhu Yun shook his head and said, "It is unknown whether it is true or false. These are all rumors among warriors. This type of ice cold stone has been discovered by warriors on other floating islands, most of which are near ancient ruins. Correspondingly, there are fire stones, wood spirit stones, thick earth stones, and diamonds."
"Master Zhu, what you said is true? I am also practicing water-based exercises. When I sit on this stone and practice for ten days a day, will I soon become the best master in the world?" Zhou Tiezhu said excitedly.
Zhu Yun laughed and said, "If it were true, I would have gotten such a stone long ago. This is just a legend. In the legend, there are indeed warriors who use a mysterious technique to achieve such an effect."
"Master, I'll try it." Zhou Tiezhu couldn't wait to put down the hammer on his shoulder, jumped over and landed on the cold blue jade.
"Crack, Crack..." As soon as Zhou Tiezhu's toes fell to the ground, the toes quickly freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye...
"Oh, I'm frozen to death." Zhou Tianzhu screamed and staggered into the pool beside him.
"Plop!"
Splashes churned.
"Brother Zhou, come up quickly." Chen Musheng said with a sense of laughter and cry. He knew the power of this cold stone, and the country apprentice insisted on going up and trying it out by himself.
"Damn it, I'm so cold, I'm so cold..." Zhou Tiezhu muttered, and he struggled to get up from the pool. The cold pool was not deep, just beyond Zhou Tiezhu's shoulders.
Zhou Tiezhu's frozen lips turned pale and his face turned pale. He hurriedly flowed into the shore. He didn't expect that he had just walked two feet away. With a "thump", he sank into the bottom of the water, and he obviously stepped on the air.
"Click!"
A crisp sound.
Chen Musheng's heart moved secretly, and he turned around in surprise and looked at the extremely heavy stone door.
"Rumbling."
The deafening roar suddenly rang out, and the ancient friction sounded extremely harsh. The two stone doors that had been closed for countless years were slowly removed on their own, revealing a dark crack in the door...
"It's open?" Chen Musheng widened his eyes.
"I've frozen to death, but I've frozen to death." Zhou Tiezhu was like a land duck, tossing in the pool for a while, and finally came up from the pool with trembling trembling.
"What a lucky thing." Zhu Yun said in surprise. It was obvious that the mechanism that opened the stone door was hidden in the water pool. Zhou Tiezhu fell by accident and actually opened the mechanism under the water!
"Go in and take a look." Chen Musheng's eyes were a little sharp. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the King of Hundred Soldiers slowly emerged from his palm and turned into the most familiar appearance of the soul-killing hunting knife.
"Haha... I was so lucky today." Zhu Yun laughed excitedly and untied the Xuanyuan Battle Axe behind him. Faced with this underground ruin with many obstacles, the hunter's intuition told him that he would gain a lot today.
At this moment, the master and apprentice were ready to go and slowly walked into the dark world behind the stone door...
In the endless darkness, the ever-changing tranquility was suddenly broken by the rustling and rustling footsteps.
"Damn it, it's so dark here."
"Master Zhu, you stepped on my feet."
"Stop talking nonsense, you fool, take your hammer away from my face."
"It's not bright at all, it's like you can't see your five fingers. Quickly turn the fire."
"I have it."
"puff!"
A ball of orange flame burned up. As the flames reflected, Zhu Yun's plump face gradually appeared, and it looked extremely scary under the gloomy flames.
"Fortunately, I have prepared a torch." Zhu Yun lit the torch in his hand with the fire-breaking light, and the orange-yellow fire illuminated dozens of feet away around the three of them.
"There is indeed a unique world underground." Chen Musheng looked around in surprise.
Behind this ancient stone door is a huge and dilapidated palace as complex as a maze. There are broken walls and ruins everywhere, the ground is bumpy, and many cracks have been cracked. The air is filled with a unique musty smell caused by the moisture.
"If this place is really a ruin left by ancient times, then we will be rich. There must be good things in the ruins that have not been excavated." Zhu Yun said excitedly.
Chen Musheng was thinking: "That means that there might be a ferocious beast of the king level lurking here."
Zhu Yun looked around and said vigilantly, "Brother Chen, where are we going now?"
The dilapidated stone chamber where the three of them were in each of them had forks in three directions. The underground stone hall was so quiet that apart from the sound of talking, they could only hear the long breathing of the three of them.
"Let's go in the middle." Chen Musheng said. He had secretly radiated his divine power and always paid attention to any movement around him.
Holding the torch, the three of them chose the fork in the middle and advanced quickly. The legendary underground ruins are incredible, and various strange mechanisms cannot be defended. Any situation may occur. Chen Musheng walked in the front and put his speeding pace to the slowest, so as to protect the emergencies around the dike at any time.
In silence, the three of them walked for half an hour.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
To be continued...
