Chapter 1202 Hou Tu Ruins
On the loess land, there is a Huangyan hill with a radius of dozens of miles.
The hill is about a thousand feet high and looks like a huge yellow steamed bun. The whole thing looks like a boulder that was dug out of the ground and dumped upside down on the ground.
Next to the hill, there is a thousand-foot deep pit that is dozens of miles in diameter. If you look closely at a high altitude, you will find that the hills next to it seem to have been dug out of this huge pit.
This is the "Houtu Ruins", one of the eight most famous dangerous places in Emperor Shenwu's cave.
Beneath the deep pit, it is not the actual ground, but an endless abyss. The top of this abyss is always covered by a layer of thick yellow fog, making it impossible for people to see what is happening thousands of feet below.
Beside the hill, there were more than a dozen monks standing next to the tunnel, looking down into the abyss below.
"I heard that the bottom leads directly to the underground abyss. The birthplace of the earth spirit is also the place where the divine soil is derived. If you can capture one or two earth spirits or get some divine soil, you will make a fortune. It’s a waste of time to come to the fairyland. How about we go together as a team to explore?”
A young man in the early stage of Mahayana encouraged the others next to him with an eager expression on his face.
Next to the young man stood an innate martial arts master. Hearing the young man's words, he suddenly felt moved. If he could catch the earth spirit, his martial spirit would be greatly improved. Such a huge temptation is difficult for an innate martial arts master to resist.
"Where did you hear this from? The origin of earth spirits is innate spiritual beings. How can they be born so easily?"
"Hehehehe, my friend, I will tell you the truth, brother, I have been waiting here for a long time, and I have personally seen Fu Qingshan, the Son of God in the God Realm, leading several talented monks with extremely high cultivation levels, to go down to the abyss. I am my dear friend. I heard them talking about this, I can't believe it," the young man said with a proud face.
"If it is really Fu Qingshan, then this is really the birthplace of the earth spirit. Okay, count me in. I am Lin Qi of the Yuanwu Sect. I have agreed in advance that if I encounter the earth spirit, Lin will arrest him. ."Shen Tu Lin doesn't want it anymore," said the Xiantian Martial Arts Master.
"Okay, Brother Lin, please speak quickly and be cheerful. In Xiatian Yu, if there is divine soil or other earth spiritual objects, Tian will take action. As for the earth spirit, even if Tian really catches it, he can only sell it, so it is better to let him Brother Lin arrested him," the young man said.
"Count me in. Down below, Hui only captures earth spirits."
"My symbol counts as one. I only need some earth attribute crystals."
Suddenly, seven or eight people decided to go exploring in a group. Tian Yu, the young man who spoke first, saw a look of surprise and joy on his face when he saw that the number of people instantly increased to eight.
"Very good, then we will form a temporary expedition team. I don't know who of you has brought a rope-like magic weapon. There is no bottom in this abyss, and it is impossible to fly. It must be fixed with a rope-like magic weapon thousands of feet below. A place above the fog so that you can return safely after the expedition." Tian Yu obviously had a detailed understanding of this place and was the first to speak.
Seven or eight people then all began to search for rope-like magic weapons from their respective storage rings, and within a moment, everyone found them.
After everyone discussed it, they carefully climbed down along the wall of the abyss loess pit. Fortunately, this deep pit seems to have existed for countless years. The walls of the pit are full of holes, so you can climb down with bare hands.
There were still four or five monks, but they did not dare to go down rashly. Instead, they stood aside and looked at the seven or eight people who were going down, as if they were hesitating.
At this moment, a colorful witch barrier flew over in the air and soon reached the sky above the pit.
"It's weird, why is there such a big cloud here? Could it be some kind of demon?"
Several people next to the pit started talking in surprise when they saw the witch barrier. However, before they could carefully investigate the origin of the witch barrier, they saw that the five-color witch barrier suddenly sank down, straight into the pit, and disappeared without a trace in almost a moment.
The seven or eight exploring monks who were climbing down also saw the wizard barrier, but they only had time to exclaim before they watched the five-colored wizard barrier pass by in the blink of an eye at a very fast speed and disappeared without a trace.
"What a strange cloud! Could it be some kind of demon spirit?"
Several people paused and continued to climb downwards. They each released their spiritual consciousness or used their divine eye skills to peer down.
It's a pity that the witch barrier has already sunk into the yellow mist. Where can it be seen again?
After waiting for a while, there was no movement below, so the group climbed down again, this time more carefully.
A few moments later, when these seven or eight people had descended to the thousand-foot depth, where the yellow mist was lingering, they stopped and began to find a hidden and safe location for their respective rope-like magic weapons.
Just as several people were about to grab the rope and explore the deep pit under the yellow mist, suddenly, a strange wind surged up from the yellow mist, and they were so startled that they lay on the rock wall and did not dare to move.
The strange wind quickly rushed out of the yellow mist and rushed upward. Tian Yu and others saw clearly and discovered that the strange wind was actually the colorful witch barrier that fell from the sky earlier.
Seeing this colorful witch barrier again, everyone looked surprised and moved.
"Hey, this is indeed a demon spirit! It is not afraid of the heavy pressure of the energy of the gods and earth, and can still fly freely. If we can catch it, wouldn't it be easy to travel back and forth between the abyss and the outside world?" Tian Yu said happily, as he spoke, he was already flying. He took out a mesh magic weapon from the storage ring and prepared to sacrifice it to catch the witch barrier.
The other people also took out their treasures, thinking the same as Tian Yu.
"No!" Just when everyone was about to take action, the innate martial arts master Lin Qi changed color and stopped them.
"What? Brother Lin recognized this demon spirit?" Tian Yu and others couldn't help but wonder.
"If Lin is not mistaken, this is not a demon spirit, but a group of vicious insects raised by an adventurous monk. These vicious insects are very scary. Even the totem spirits on the totem stone pillars in the Shentu Quwu Hall can't do anything to them. It's best not to act rashly. If you don't believe it, just wait here for a while and you will know the truth. Since that person released the vicious insects to explore the way, he will definitely arrive here soon."
Lin Qi said to several people with a serious look. He was the martial arts master who saw Wu Yan outside the Shentu Quwu Hall before.
"Oh? If so, why don't we wait and see. After that person comes, we might as well discuss with him and form a team with him. Isn't it much safer? By the way, Brother Lin, I wonder what level of cultivation that person has?" Tian Yu said.
"His cultivation doesn't seem to be very high, but he is a practitioner of both the Dharma and the Body. Lin feels that his immortal cultivation should only be at the Fusion Stage, and his Yuan Body cultivation is also around the seventh or eighth level. However, his means of controlling vicious insects are very impressive. Previously in the Shentu Tempering Martial Arts Hall, he easily kidnapped a martial arts master of the sixth level of Xiantian, a martial arts master of the eighth level of Xiantian who was practicing the Dharma and the Body, and a cultivator of the peak cultivation of the late Mahayana stage with a swarm of vicious insects." Lin Qi said to the few people with a serious look.
Originally, Tian Yu and others were relieved to hear that the other party was only at the Fusion Stage and the seventh or eighth level of Yuan Body, but when they heard the following sentence, they immediately took a breath of cold air and completely suppressed their little thoughts.
Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level was only at the late stage of Mahayana, which was not good enough in front of others.
As expected by Lin Qi, the colorful witch barrier returned after only half an hour. This time, it was different from before, and it actually carried four cold-looking monks.
These four people were Wu Yan, Wu Xiaohu, Yuan Lie and Mu Feng. They were originally unable to fly, but with the help of the Five Poison Devouring Soul Gu that fully adapted to the rules of Kun Di Palace, they could fly easily as if they were stepping on colorful clouds.
When they reached the top of the yellow fog, Wu Yan and others were about to sink into the yellow fog, when they suddenly heard someone on the rock wall not far away shouting: "Wait a minute, friends, I have something to say!"
Wu Yan frowned and looked towards the place where the voice came from, but saw eight monks lying on the rock wall above the yellow fog, looking at them eagerly at this moment, revealing a look of envy on their faces.
"What's the matter?" Wu Yan glanced at a few people indifferently, and his eyes stopped at Tian Yu who spoke.
"I wonder if my friend can take us down with him? Don't worry, my friend, we will never let you do it for nothing. We are willing to pay a high reward." Tian Yu saw that Wu Yan did not turn around and leave, and he immediately became energetic and spoke eloquently.
Wu Yan frowned and said uninterestedly: "Sorry, I don't lack crystals. Goodbye."
"Wait!" Tian Yu saw Wu Yan was about to leave, and suddenly became anxious.
Wu Yan frowned even deeper and said unhappily: "What else do you want?"
Tian Yu looked at the others anxiously, hoping that someone could say some attractive conditions to persuade Wu Yan. After all, if they could follow Wu Yan, then they could naturally go down to the abyss easily.
The five-colored witch barrier, with a radius of 100 feet, could accommodate dozens of people without any problem. Moreover, they were free to come and go, and they were not afraid of the sudden appearance of monsters and spirits. The safety factor was too high, and no matter how much they paid, it was worth it.
"Please tell me, sir, what conditions are required for you to take us with you? I am Lin Qi, a disciple of Yuanwu Sect. I have no other thoughts. I just want to go to Houtu Ruins to find some opportunities. I hope my friends can help me!" Lin Qi bowed to Wu Yan and said sincerely.
Wu Yan was quite speechless. He had no interest in the conditions of these people. With the wealth he had accumulated, he didn't need anything at all. However, it was his nephew Wu Xiaohu who practiced martial arts, so it was difficult for him to help him in this regard. He had always been a bit of a headache.
"Brother Wu, Yuanwu Sect is the first martial arts sect in the fairy world. It's just that this sect has always been hidden from the world, so few people have heard of it. It is said that many disciples of Yuanwu Sect in the past dynasties can break through the void and ascend to become martial arts saints by relying on martial arts. If Xiaohu wants to achieve something in the future, it may be too ethereal to rely on various opportunities alone. If he can enter Yuanwu Sect, he may have a lot to do."
Mu Feng, who was standing aside, sent a message to Wu Yan with his spiritual consciousness. He is an innate eighth-level martial arts master, and has authoritative knowledge of martial arts. Hearing this, Wu Yan was somewhat moved.
Indeed, if Wu Xiaohu could join a martial arts sect, it would be the most suitable for him. The descendants of the Savage Emperor where he is now is not suitable for him at all. It is of no help to his future cultivation, and may even delay him.
"Uncle, this nephew of Yuanwu Sect also knows. The old patriarch once took my nephew to Yuanwu Sect to ask them to accept my nephew, but unfortunately he was rejected for various reasons." Wu Xiaohu looked at Lin Qi in surprise and said.
