Chapter 847: Lightning-Proofing Umbrella and Soul-Binding and Soul-Devouring Formation
"You two seniors, please follow me into this water. The Crab King has something important to ask for your help. If the two seniors are willing to take action, the Crab King will definitely be richly rewarded."
The tall shrimp demon in the lead showed great respect to Yang Che and Mei.
Yang Che and Mei looked at each other. Naturally, they didn't want to cause trouble and wanted to find the 'unknown secret' as soon as possible.
So Mei said: "We two have important matters, and we don't want to get involved in anything. We just thanked the Crab King for his invitation and left."
After Mei finished speaking, Yang Che stood up. The two were about to leave when a weak man's voice suddenly came from underwater:
"This fellow ghost cultivator, if I sense correctly, your next great disaster is coming soon, right?"
Mei was slightly startled, but before she could speak, the weak man's voice said again:
"I encountered a little trouble and was trapped at the bottom of the water. If you two fellow Taoists are willing to help me get out of trouble, I am willing to give you a 'lightning protection umbrella' to help you, fellow Taoist, to survive the natural disaster safely."
"Lightning protection umbrella?"
After hearing this treasure, both Yang Che and Mei couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
This is one of the three best treasures rumored to be able to withstand thunder.
If you have this 'Lightning Protection Umbrella' in hand, it will be very easy to withstand a complete thunderstorm.
At this time, the weak man's voice under the water continued:
"Fellow Taoist, if I hadn't sensed that your great catastrophe was about to come, and I happened to have a lightning protection umbrella, I wouldn't have been able to stop you two. Just like the two people who passed through this water area before. The main body is Lian Luo and the main body is Wan. Snake’s powerful female cultivator, both of them are equally powerful, but I didn’t ask them for help.”
Mei thought for a while and said to Yang Che: "Let's go down and take a look. If this 'Crab King' really has a lightning protection umbrella, it will be a great help for me to overcome the tribulation."
Yang Che nodded.
Under the guidance of the tall shrimp demon, the two entered the water, passed through at least three layers of restrictions, and arrived at an underwater palace.
This underwater temple is very dilapidated, very similar to the underground ruins where the altar is located, with broken walls and rubble everywhere.
Outside a 'giant well', Yang Che and Mei met the 'Crab King'.
This giant well is very strange, almost transparent.
Yang Che and Mei were at the bottom of the well outside the well, and they could clearly see a huge fiery red 'crab' trapped in the well that was suspended by its pincers.
He is really a Mahayana Demon Crab at the level of a king.
But at this time, the 'Crab King' was very miserable.
Not only were two huge pincers that were more than one foot tall, but other limbs on the body were also severed and missing. There were even a large number of fist-sized holes all over the crab shell.
"Two fellow Taoists, you are here."
King Crab's voice was weak and a little embarrassed.
After all, it is extremely rare for a majestic Mahayana Demon Crab to end up in this situation.
Yang Che observed carefully for a while, and his pupils suddenly shrank: "This is the 'Spirit Binding and Soul Devouring Array'!"
"Oh? Fellow Taoist actually recognizes this formation?"
The small eyes of the Crab King suddenly shot out a ray of light, and his whole body shook violently, feeling faintly excited.
However, Yang Che suddenly said to 'Mei': "Mei, let's go. There is no way this formation can be broken."
"this……"
Mei is also somewhat unexpected.
However, since Yang Che, who is at least an intermediate-level formation master, has said so, it seems that this 'Spirit-Retaining and Soul-Devouring Formation' cannot be broken open.
"Fellow Crab Taoist, it seems that I have no chance with this 'Lightning Protection Umbrella', so I'll say goodbye." Mei immediately clasped her fist at the Crab King and prepared to leave this place with Yang Che.
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoists!"
The Crab King was a little anxious: "This fellow Taoist, it is really difficult to break the soul-destroying formation, but I can sense the breath of 'immortal energy' in your body. If you use 'immortal energy', the energy in my body will The 'Spirit Soul-Devouring Array' can definitely be broken. Fellow Taoist, please help me. As long as I can get out of trouble, I will give you the lightning protection umbrella with both hands."
When Mei heard this, her eyes hidden under the gauze suddenly became cold and stern.
Yang Che looked calm, as if he was not surprised.
Just now, Xuantian's crazy flames happened to swallow up the other half of the 'Blue Gold Immortal Qi' and successfully fused it. It was precisely because of this that the 'Crab King' sensed it.
With a thought in his mind, the unruly young man in black clothes transformed into the wild flames of black Xuantian appeared and hovered next to Yang Che.
"Xuan Tian's Flame... Fellow Taoist, your luck... is extraordinary."
As soon as he saw the black and unruly young man, the Crab King's small eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise and envy.
Yang Che said calmly: "King Crab, isn't it time you took out your 'Lightning Protection Umbrella' for us to see?"
Crab King said: "That's natural."
As he spoke, a red light suddenly flashed across his body, and a palm-sized silver umbrella loomed inside his body.
In just three breaths, the small silver umbrella melted into his body again and disappeared completely.
Mei glanced at Yang Che and said softly: "It must be the lightning protection umbrella."
Yang Che nodded slightly and said to the Crab King: "Then set up the soul blood curse."
Of course, the Crab King had no objections and immediately cast a soul-blood curse with Yang Che and Mei Li.
Yang Che controlled the Xuantian Crazy Flame, which controlled the 'Blue Gold Immortal Qi' and began to break the 'Spirit-Retaining and Soul-Eating Formation'.
This formation is an ancient forbidden formation. It is almost entirely constructed from the 'Ancient Divine Patterns', and it also involves soul restrictions. It is extremely mysterious and complex. Without immortal energy, even a master of the formation will not be able to do it without spending hundreds of years. This restriction can be broken, so Yang Che said before that it is almost impossible to break it.
More than a month later.
Yang Che and Xuantian Kuangyan were still struggling to break the formation.
Mei sensed that the great heavenly tribulation was getting closer and closer, and seeing that Yang Che still needed a lot of time to break the formation, she immediately said:
"Yang Che, my great heavenly tribulation is getting closer and closer. How long will it take you to break the formation? If it takes too long, we can only give up."
Before Yang Che spoke, the Claw Crab King immediately said excitedly:
"It's almost there. It will be successful in a few days. Don't worry, I, the Claw Crab King, practice the 'One Word, Nine Cauldron' Dao, and I will never regret what I have said. If I get out of trouble, if you want to go anywhere in this ancient ruins, I can take you there by water. Even the farthest place will only take more than two months."
Yang Che, who was breaking the formation, felt a little incredible when he heard it.
Mei even shook his head, thinking that the Claw Crab King was bragging.
"Fellow Daoist, you can't believe it, right? What I, Claw Crab, said is not false. The reason why I can reach the farthest place from here in such a short time and go to any place in this ancient ruins is because I, Claw Crab, am a survivor of the ancient times."
"Ancient survivors?"
Hearing this word again, Yang Che immediately asked with interest: "What is the ancient survivors?"
The Claw Crab King said proudly: "It means that our ancestors are the original inhabitants of this ancient ruins, one of the natives."
"I see."
Yang Che and Mei had originally guessed, and now they all understood.
A few days later.
The 'Soul-binding Soul-devouring Formation' on the Claw Crab King was finally cracked.
"Thank you so much, fellow Taoists. This is the 'Lightning Protection Umbrella'."
After escaping from the trap, the Claw Crab King's body flashed red and turned into an old man with red hair and crab whiskers. He immediately handed the 'Lightning Protection Umbrella' to Mei and continued:
"Fellow Taoists, as agreed before, I will take you wherever you want to go."
Yang Che engraved more than half of the route map to the 'Unknown Secret Realm' on a new jade slip and handed it to the Claw Crab King.
The Claw Crab King took it, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and his heart moved immediately. At the same time, a hint of almost imperceptible obscure color flashed in the depths of his eyes.
