Chapter 205 Underground Palace and Accident (4k)
"You can do it at any time."
Du Wan Ning said with a smile.
...
After signing the Heavenly Pledge with Du Wan Ning, Yang Hao didn't stay for long. He casually came to a deserted place and got into his Feilong Cave.
As Du Wan Ning said, there is no text trap hidden in the content of this Heavenly Dao Oath, and the interests and obligations of both parties stipulated in it are roughly equal.
Du Wan Ning is responsible for guiding Yang Hao, protecting safety and other matters, while Yang Hao is responsible for using his alchemy skills to help Du Wan Ning solve the mystery of that mysterious area.
At the same time, it also stipulates that if Yang Hao wants the other party to be responsible for safety, he cannot act arbitrarily and must obey his instructions on safety.
Otherwise, the other party will no longer bear the obligation to protect Yang Hao's safety.
It can be seen that the other party really wants to find a partner sincerely, not a teammate with ulterior motives.
By ensuring that the interests of both parties are consistent, this situation can be avoided to the greatest extent.
As for the departure date, both parties agreed on the full moon day of next month.
Although the reason was not stated, Yang Hao guessed that it might be related to the mysterious area.
Just as described in some fantasy works, some hidden snow areas or treasures can only be opened or obtained in specific ways at specific times.
Yang Hao would naturally have no objections to this.
Anyway, he has plenty of time now.
In addition to practicing on weekdays, he refines some daily third-level elixirs and sells them.
There is still some time before departure, and Yang Hao takes advantage of this time to refine some elixirs for combat.
...
Time flies.
Suddenly, the appointed day came.
Yang Hao packed up his things, then walked out of the cave and went to the gate of Dongshanfang City to meet Du Wanning.
"Fellow Daoist Du, I've been waiting for a long time."
Yang Hao saw Du Wan Ning standing there and wandering in the distance. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands, expressing his apology.
"I came down early. Master Zhou, it's normal for you to keep your appointment on time."
Du Wan Ning waved her hand, not caring about these small details.
After all, the relationship between the two was just a cooperative one, unlike the relationship between a man and a woman that had become somewhat deformed in Yang Hao's previous life.
"Fellow Daoist Du, the entrance to Langya Cave is so far away from here. I wonder how we will get there?"
Yang Hao didn't dwell on this and turned to ask about other things.
Yang Hao had raised this issue when signing the contract before, but Du Wanning said mysteriously that he would know it by then.
Therefore, he actually still has some curiosity in his heart.
There are only a few common ways to travel long distances, either using a super large teleportation array, taking a shuttle or other means of transportation, or using your own ability to fly there.
If the method Du Wan Ning mentioned was one of the above, she would not have made that mysterious expression.
"Master Zhou, just come with me."
Du Wan Ning did not answer directly, but smiled mysteriously and took the lead to fly towards a certain mountain outside Fang City.
Seeing this, Yang Hao could only suppress his curiosity and used his escape technique to follow.
...
Two or three minutes later.
Yang Hao followed Du Wan Ning to a deep valley in the mountains.
The clear spring flows in the valley and the scenery is pleasant.
Some herbivorous animals can be seen drinking, playing, and having fun everywhere...
"Fellow Daoist Du, where is this?"
Yang Hao couldn't help but ask after looking at this unremarkable scene.
"Master Zhou, don't worry, we'll be here soon."
Du Wan Ning reassured.
Then, she led Yang Hao through the valley, and then followed a narrow stone crevice to the mountain.
"Does Master Zhou know how to escape? If not, I can give you a ride. The next journey requires going underground."
Du Wanning came to the end of the stone crevice, turned around and asked Yang Hao.
"No need to worry about it, fellow Taoist Du, just lead the way from the front."
Yang Hao replied.
"That's good."
Du Wan Ning chuckled softly, and then used Earth Escape, and the whole person got directly into the mountain wall and disappeared.
Yang Hao followed closely and disappeared into the mountain wall.
Next, the two shuttled through the mountain for nearly three minutes.
Suddenly, Yang Hao's eyes lit up.
When he came back to his senses, he found that the two of them had arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
Above the palace is a huge dome wall, which is covered with spherical orbs that are constantly flashing. Looking up from the ground, it is like seeing the endless starry sky.
"This..."
Yang Hao was a little surprised for a moment, and opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to ask.
Who would have thought that there could be such a vast and vast space so deep underground?
"Master Zhou, please follow me here."
Du Wan Ning was obviously not surprised. She greeted Yang Hao and flew straight towards the main entrance of the palace.
Yang Hao followed again.
Passing through various arches and corridors, the two came to the door of the main hall, which occupied the largest area.
The main hall is about 30 meters high. The walls are engraved with golden dragons flying in various postures. There are humanoid statues about 20 meters each in front of the main entrance.
The statues are of a man and a woman, both looking extremely young.
However, just from the powerful aura emanating from these two statues, you know that the identities of these two people are definitely not that simple.
Most likely, they were Taoist cultivators who were very active in the history of the world of immortality.
Unfortunately, Yang Hao searched his memory and couldn't recognize the identities of these two people.
In this way, he could only look at Du Wan Ning next to him, hoping that the other party could give him a satisfactory explanation.
"Master Zhou, please don't look at me. I don't know the identities of these two seniors."
Du Wan Ning waved her hands, saying that she was helpless.
"I just discovered this place accidentally. Apart from these buildings and statues, nothing else remains." "The
only thing that can be used is a dry well deep in the main hall."
Du Wanning explained, shaking her head. road.
"Through this dry well, can you teleport to Langya Cave Heaven?"
Yang Hao made a reasonable guess.
"Correct answer."
Du Wan Ning affirmed.
"That's it."
Yang Hao nodded, which eliminated a doubt in his heart.
However, he didn't quite believe Du Wan Ning's words about not having any other gains.
In such a big place, it is obviously impossible to say that nothing good has been left behind.
However, there was no need for Yang Hao to point it out in person.
"Without further delay, let's set off quickly."
Du Wanning glanced at the two huge statues and then pushed the door directly in.
Yang Hao followed closely behind.
The main hall was very empty, as if someone had moved the treasures away in advance, leaving only four extremely thick pillars.
Du Wan Ning led Yang Hao forward and knocked four times on the innermost wall.
Then, the roof above the main hall suddenly opened, and the light from countless crystal stones on the external dome condensed into a pillar of light as thick as a fist, which shone directly on the stone slab in the center of the main hall.
Rumble -
there was a sound, and an ordinary-looking dry well slowly emerged from the ground.
The edge of the dry well was covered with moss, as if it had not been used for a long time.
"Is this a dry well?"
Yang Hao asked.
"Exactly, we only need to devote ourselves to it, and we can be teleported directly to Langya Cave Heaven."
Du Wanning nodded.
"What happens after that? Will we come back from here as well?"
Yang Hao continued to ask.
"Unfortunately, it's not possible."
"This is just a single portal. At present, I haven't found a way to teleport directly back here from Langya Cave Heaven."
Du Wan Ning shrugged and said regretfully.
"Are we teleporting into Langya Cave, or at the entrance? If it is at the entrance, will it attract the attention of other monks?"
Yang Hao nodded and raised another doubt.
"Don't worry, we will be teleported directly to the mysterious area mentioned in the jade slip." "
No one else will find it there. We are safe."
Du Wanning patted her chest and assured.
"That's fine."
Yang Hao nodded slightly and stopped asking.
"In that case, let's set off. I'll go in and lead the charge."
Du Wan Ning smiled slightly, and then she fell straight into the dry well like a green onion.
Yang Hao bowed at the mouth of the well and looked inside.
Even if he opened his eyes, he still couldn't see anything.
As far as the eye could see, there was darkness.
It's like there's a black hole hidden at the bottom of the well.
"Then let me go in too."
Yang Hao waited for a while and saw that there was no other movement inside, so he also flew into it.
As soon as Yang Hao's body came into contact with the darkness in the well, he fell rapidly downwards as if being grabbed by something.
Within a second or two, Yang Hao realized that he couldn't see anything around him. It was completely dark up and down, and he couldn't tell his direction at all.
Then, he felt as if he had entered a washing machine, and his whole body was spinning crazily.
If Yang Hao hadn't reached the golden elixir stage now, he might have been seriously injured just by such a death spin.
Even so, he felt very uncomfortable and felt like vomiting.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
About thirty seconds later, Yang Hao finally saw a glimmer of light coming from the front.
This ray of light quickly turned into a ball of light, and then a...
swish!
Yang Hao felt his body stagger for a while. After he stabilized his body, he found that he had escaped from the darkness and arrived at a place with pleasant scenery and antique architecture.
"Master Zhou, are you okay?"
A hand suddenly stretched out from beside him, trying to help him.
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Du for your kindness, Zhou can still move."
Although Yang Hao felt uncomfortable, he was not unable to walk, so he naturally declined Du Wanning's help.
"That's good. If Master Zhou is unwell, there will be some trouble later."
Du Wan Ning's expression suddenly became serious.
"Did something happen? Has other monks discovered this place?"
Yang Hao couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw this.
No way, right?
Nothing happened before, but he made all kinds of troubles as soon as he came. Is it necessary to be such a coincidence?
"Of course not."
Du Wan Ning rolled her eyes at him and shook her head.
"Before you arrived here, I took this time to go outside and observe." "
As a result, I was attacked by an inexplicable monster."
"You will definitely not guess what kind of monster it was."
Wen After hearing this, Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and guessed along with what the other party said: "Could it be that those pills have become refined?" "
Haha, I thought so at first, but later I found out that this is not the case."
Du Wanning He denied with a smile.
Then, she took out a relatively complete animal carcass from the storage bag.
This animal looks a bit like the little white rabbit from its previous life.
But its appearance is hairless and its tail is a bit long. In addition, it has two small black wings on its back.
"Is this the monster you're talking about?"
Yang Hao took a look at it with his spiritual consciousness and found nothing special about this thing. Its structure in all aspects was no different from ordinary flesh-and-blood creatures.
Even Yang Hao didn't observe any trace of spiritual power flowing.
"Yes, but you should have discovered that there is nothing special about this corpse." "
If you hunt down a rabbit from the mortal world, its corpse is not much different from this thing."
Du Wan Ning He nodded.
"However, that's what I want to talk about."
"You may not think that there is anything special about this thing's body, but if you are attacked by this thing, you will know how difficult it is." Du Wan Ning recalled the experience just now
, His face looked a little solemn.
"Originally, with my strength in the late stage of Golden Core, it can be said that the other party can do this easily."
"It's just that when this little thing attacked, I found that I couldn't dodge."
"Can't dodge?" Yang Hao's face became a little serious, "You mean you can't move, or you can't use it. Use magic to dodge?"
"I can't move!"
Du Wan Ning said in a heavy tone.
"This..."
Hearing this, Yang Hao also felt a little troubled.
Can't move when attacked? What wonderful thing is this?
Doesn't this mean that once you are discovered by such a thing, you can only withstand an attack from the opponent before you can fight back?
"How much is this thing?"
Yang Hao then asked.
"Many. Judging from the current situation, there is one at the door of every house, and the aura exuded by many of them has reached the golden elixir stage."
Du Wan Ning replied.
"Ah this..."
Yang Hao couldn't help but be speechless.
How can they explore this area like this?
If he was discovered by a group of Jindan stage monsters, wouldn't he be directly charged to death?
"Are there Nascent Soul stage monsters inside?"
Yang Hao asked.
"I haven't discovered this yet."
Du Wan Ning said with a bit of joy on her face.
Also, if a monster in the Nascent Soul stage is discovered, Du Wan Ning will definitely not dare to explore any more.
Even though she had said before that she could successfully escape with Yang Hao from Yuan Yingqi, that was a normal situation.
Now that this monster has the characteristic of being unable to move when attacked, Du Wan Ning's escape methods are basically useless.
"Then what are your plans now? Continue to explore? Or..."
Yang Hao hesitated and asked slowly.
As far as he was concerned, it was either a matter of continuing to explore or retreating.
Anyway, he is also using his avatar to act. If he dies, it will only cause him to experience the feeling of death again, which will not have any impact on his body.
However, the initiator of this operation was still Du Wan Ning. If the other party did not intend to continue, Yang Hao would not be able to explore alone.
"I have made a lot of preparations for today, how could I just retreat?"
Du Wan Ning bit her lip and said firmly.
"What about these monsters?"
Yang Hao asked.
"Divide them into pieces and defeat them one by one!"
A glimmer of wisdom flashed in Du Wan Ning's eyes.
