Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 112 Awakening
With Xu Hao leading the way, everyone followed closely behind him, walking nearly seventy feet in the dark tunnel.
The walls on both sides of the tunnel are engraved with mysterious Taoist patterns.
Lu Qingshan took a quick look and realized that these were Taoist patterns used to conceal the aura. No wonder Su Shu had scanned this area several times with her spiritual sense but found no clues.
However, now that they are in the tunnel, these Taoist patterns can no longer hinder their spiritual consciousness.
Lu Qingshan probed downward with his spiritual sense and found that the tunnel had reached the end, and the formation point he had been looking for was right in front of him.
As they were so close to the target, the members of the Yinhu team became more cautious.
The closer you are to success, the more likely you are to fail and fall short. They all understand this very well.
Su Shu was worried and cast another defensive magic spell on Xu Hao.
A huge stone gate stood before everyone.
This is a specially arranged stone door. If Siemens came, he could easily open it with just a seal.
The only option left for them was to break in violently.
Li Zu mobilized his spiritual power to transform it into a big hand and pushed hard.
The stone gate remained motionless.
Xu Hao frowned, not caring about anything else. He took a step forward, took a deep breath, his muscles bulged, veins popped, and he placed both palms on the stone door, mobilizing the spiritual power in his body and pushed hard.
Although Xu Hao's arms were constantly shaking, with a creaking sound, the stone door finally moved slowly under Xu Hao's tremendous force, revealing a tiny gap.
When the gap in the stone door was large enough for a person to pass through, Xu Hao withdrew his hand and leaned in slightly to test.
Before they could see the specific situation, everyone heard an extremely harsh sound.
Sizzle, sizzle—
A flashing purple light suddenly shot out and hit Xu Hao before he could react .
Boom!
Under the attack of the purple light, Xu Hao flew backwards and hit the wall of the tunnel before stopping.
Smoke and dust rose, and everyone could feel a violent vibration coming from the tunnel.
Xu Hao covered his chest and struggled to get up with one hand on the floor.
"The people in the underworld are really insidious. If it weren't for Su Shu's spiritual power, this attack would have definitely broken my golden scale body!" Xu Hao stretched out his right hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Xu Hao was not seriously injured.
"Don't move yet. Let me try again, just in case you have any backup plans." Xu Hao stopped Zhong Ming who was about to take action.
Zhong Ming was alerted when he heard this and stopped immediately.
Xu Hao stood up, adjusted the boiling blood in his body, and then stepped into the stone chamber resolutely.
This time there was no attack.
After seeing that it was safe, Lu Qingshan and others followed Xu Hao in.
The interior space of the stone chamber is not large and is extremely simple. There are not many things inside. To be more precise, there should be only one thing.
In the center of the stone chamber stood a stone tablet with numerous Taoist patterns carved on it and surrounded by black mist. At this moment, the Taoist patterns on the entire stone tablet were glowing scarlet blood, like flowing blood, which was horrifying and terrifying.
And in the center of the stone tablet, where the mysterious Taoist patterns intersect, there is a blood-red hexagonal crystal inlaid.
Boom boom boom!
It turns out that the strange sound I heard before was made by this crystal.
This sound gives people a very strange feeling, just like the sound of a heart beating at the intersection of blood vessels, which makes people feel very depressed.
"This is one of the points of the Shura Blood Transformation Array." Lu Qingshan murmured.
"Let's destroy it without further ado." The Li clan was eager to make a move, but they were afraid of getting into trouble, so they did not dare to act rashly.
"Yeah." Lu Qingshan nodded. This thing, even for him, was the first time he had seen it. Whether there were any other mysteries, he could only try it out.
After getting Lu Qingshan's consent, the Li clan had no more scruples and shot a powerful ice arrow at the blood-red crystal in the center of the stone tablet.
——Unknowingly, Lu Qingshan’s voice in this team has become the same as Xu Hao’s.
clang--
The sound of jade breaking was heard.
This blood-red crystal was extremely fragile and immediately shattered into pieces under the attack of the Li clan's ice arrow spell.
The debris was scattered on the ground, emitting a strange and exotic fragrance.
Lu Qingshan sniffed and felt somewhat familiar.
The smell seems to be exactly the same as that of a pool of blood.
And at the moment the crystal shattered, the strange thudding sound disappeared, and all the lines on the stone tablet instantly lost their luster and became dim, no longer showing their previous magic.
At the same time, outside Zhenjiang City.
A burst of black light appeared above the sky barrier, and it rippled around for a while before fading away.
"It happens again." Seeing this, Lu Zhou couldn't help but say, "It happens every now and then. I don't know what's wrong with it."
"Great Elder." Lu Bei suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
"Do you feel that this barrier seems to be a lot weaker than before?" Lu Bei looked at the barrier in front of him carefully and spoke slowly.
"Huh?!" Lu Zhou quickly released his spiritual sense and wandered above the barrier.
"It's really a lot weaker than before!"
Lu Bei said in a deep voice: "I discovered before that every time a black light flashed above the barrier, the barrier would become a little weaker, but it wasn't particularly obvious, so I wasn't sure. Now that it has happened many times, the difference in power between this sky curtain barrier and the beginning is already visible to the naked eye."
"Could it be?" Lu Zhou had a thought.
Lu Bei nodded, "Perhaps, someone in the city is trying to break this formation!"
Lu Zhou showed a hint of joy on his face. "So, the situation in the city should be much better than we thought!"
Lu Bei was not so optimistic. "Maybe. But no matter what, the weakening of the barrier's power is always a good thing. The weaker the barrier, the easier it will be for us outsiders to break it!"
…
The Li clan opened their mouths in surprise.
"That's it?"
After many twists and turns, the formation point they finally found was unexpectedly vulnerable, which made the Li clan a little unbelievable.
Obviously, the Li clan completely ignored how much effort they spent to find this formation point.
call out--
Suddenly, a strange sound like a mouse crawling was heard in the quiet stone chamber.
Everyone's hair stood on end and their vigilance was at the highest level.
I knew it wasn’t that simple!
Unlike everyone else who was facing a formidable enemy, Lu Qingshan looked at his waist in surprise.
The sound just now seemed to come from here?
There, there is a spirit beast bag.
"What a nice smell, what's that smell? No, it seems a little familiar... Huh? Lu Qingshan, have you found another blood pool?" A sly voice sounded.
