Roar!
The white skeletons let out a low roar as they nimbly wielded their bows and swords. They attacked Liu Ming and the others from all directions.
Ouyang Ming and Zhao Qianying snorted coldly as they passed by Liu Ming's side and flew into the stone room.
Before Zhao Qianying arrived, she lightly flicked her purple short bow and several purple lights swept out, turning several skeletons into dust.
Ouyang Ming waved both of his arms, and densely packed fist shadows bloomed like a lotus flower. They rushed towards the two skeletons that were closest to him. The two skeletons immediately turned into bone powder.
Although these skeletons were tall, their strength was at most equivalent to a Crystal Level cultivator. They were no match for Zhao Qianying and Liu Ming.
Liu Ming didn't enter. His eyes quickly swept across the stone room. The space inside was about the same size as the stone room the three of them had just been to.
However, it was empty inside. There were only a few black wooden shelves near the innermost stone wall. There were some things placed on them.
However, he didn't look at them for long. He quickly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the golden arrows beside him.
These golden arrows were made from a kind of ore called Golden Flame Iron. They were quite valuable.
He raised his hand and released a gust of black Qi that gathered the hundreds of golden arrows around him and put them away.
At the same time, Ouyang Ming and Zhao Qianying had already killed all the skeletons in the stone room.
The two of them looked around and flew to a few shelves in the stone room.
There were some things on the shelves, but they were all ores and materials. They didn't have much value. There were also some old bamboo slips on one of the shelves. Some words were vaguely written in Ancient Demonic Writing.
When Ouyang Ming saw this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
In fact, he knew that the Lightning Resisting Universe Hoop was most likely in the higher levels of the Demon Abyss Tower. It was impossible for it to be in the second level. However, the Lightning Resisting Universe Hoop was related to his life. He didn't dare to let go of even the slightest possibility.
From the lower levels of the Demon Abyss Tower, one could go to the higher levels through the teleportation entrances. However, there was no way to go to the lower levels. Once they missed it, there was no way to go back.
Zhao Qianying didn't have the slightest interest in those ores. When she saw the bamboo slips on the bookshelf, a trace of joy flashed across her face. She picked them up and quickly flipped through them.
At that moment, Liu Ming also walked in. He went to the bookshelf and took out a roll of bamboo slips.
He had done some research on the Ancient Demon Language, so he could somewhat understand the words on the bamboo slips. Ouyang Ming, on the other hand, did not know much about the Ancient Demon Language, so he was naturally not interested in the bamboo slips.
Liu Ming browsed through the bamboo slips on the bookshelf. They were all records of daily events. Most of the contents were about the Ancient Demon Tribe's soldiers and the allocation of resources.
"It seems there is nothing valuable here," Liu Ming said coolly.
Zhao Qianying also looked disappointed as she put down the bamboo slip in her hand.
The three of them rummaged through the stone room again. After not finding anything else, they quickly left the place and continued to explore another passage.
Half an hour later, the three of them had explored the entire second level.
These passages were basically the same. At the end of each passage was a stone room with a similar layout. The rooms were basically empty. Occasionally, there would be skeleton soldiers guarding them, but there was nothing valuable. No wonder the Liu Family was not interested in this place.
"Let's go to the next level." The three of them quickly returned to the stone room with the altar and entered the entrance passage to the third level.
After a while, the three of them appeared on a huge open-air square.
The square covered a large area, about 20 to 30 acres. The middle was divided into more than a dozen areas. Each area was surrounded by a circle of stone pillars. It looked like there were many Martial Arts Arenas placed side by side.
Above the square was a dim yellow sky. Some streets and buildings could be seen around the square. They looked well preserved, but most of them were empty. It seemed that this place used to be a large market.
The three of them first looked around cautiously. When they saw that there was no danger, they relaxed a little.
Liu Ming looked around a few times. Suddenly, his figure moved and he flew into the air. There was a faint purple glow in his eyes.
From here, the third level of the Devil Abyss Tower could be seen. The area was not big, only a few dozen miles in radius. Most of the area was occupied by the square and the market.
Liu Ming's expression changed.
From what Mo Tian had told him about the Devil Abyss Tower and what he had seen so far, each level of the Devil Abyss Tower seemed to be a special place.
The first level of the Demon Abyss Tower was very spacious. There were many demonic sources, and the demonic Qi was abnormally dense. This should be where the ancient demons cultivated. The second level seemed to be where the ancient demons gathered. The third level seemed to be a market and a training ground.
His figure moved, and he flew down.
"The area of this level is not big. I just looked carefully and did not find any traces of the Liu Family. It seems that they have reached the fourth level and above," Liu Ming said indifferently.
Hearing this, Zhao Qianying and Ouyang Ming's expressions relaxed. Then, they sighed.
Although they could avoid fighting if they didn't meet the Liu Family, they had been following the Liu Family. Almost all the good things in the Devil Abyss Tower had been taken by the Liu Family. The three of them had not found any decent treasures since they entered the Devil Abyss Tower.
"No matter what, let's find the entrance to the fourth level first. Fellow Zhao, can you sense the remnant aura of the Liu Family?" Liu Ming asked.
Zhao Qianying closed her eyes and opened them a moment later. Her eyes dimmed and she shook her head. "No, the space here is too big. The aura has already dispersed. I can't sense it."
A trace of disappointment appeared on Liu Ming's face, and he immediately said in a deep voice,
He said in a low voice, "Then let's split up. It shouldn't take too long to find the entrance. However, the corpse aura on this level is very dense. There might be demonic corpses again. We must be careful. "
Zhao Qianying and Ouyang Ming nodded. Then, the three of them split up and flew in different directions.
Liu Ming flew towards the tall buildings near the training grounds. Zhao Qianying and Ouyang Ming flew towards the market.
After searching through several buildings to no avail, Liu Ming landed in front of an inconspicuous green building.
The green building in front of him was about 30 meters tall. Its surface was covered with a layer of faint green light. It was obvious that some kind of restriction had been placed on it.
The front door of the building was half open. Inside was a somewhat dark space.
Liu Ming revealed a serious expression. The Thunder Robe on his body faintly glowed with golden lightning.
He pushed open the door and walked in. A dark and gloomy black corridor immediately appeared in front of him.
Liu Ming slowly walked in. Soon, he reached the end of the corridor. A stone door that emitted a faint white light appeared in front of him.
"Could it be here?" Liu Ming's face lit up. He walked to the side of the stone door and gave it a hard push. However, the stone door did not budge.
He narrowed his eyes and let out a low roar. Then, he punched the stone door.
A dazzling white light immediately appeared on the stone door and blocked Liu Ming's fist.
Liu Ming felt as if his fist had punched into a ball of cotton. The stone door did not seem to be affected at all.
With his current strength, he could even topple a mountain with a single punch. Yet, he could not do anything to this small stone door.
"Could it be that I need some special method to open it?" He muttered to himself. He retracted his fist and looked at the stone door.
Then, he raised his eyebrows. There were some strange patterns faintly appearing in the white light of the stone door. They gave him a rather familiar feeling.
"That's right, the Demonic Abyss Key." Liu Ming's face lit up. He flipped his hand and took out his Demonic Abyss Key. Under comparison, the patterns in the white light of the stone door were surprisingly very similar to the patterns on the key.
"Could it be?" A thought appeared in his mind. He waved his hand and cast a spell onto the Demonic Abyss Key.
The Demonic Abyss Key immediately glowed with a black light. It actually flew out of Liu Ming's hand and floated in front of the stone door.
Then, there was a flash of light on the surface of the key. A black light shot out and landed on the stone door.
The patterns on the surface of the stone door lit up and a "ka ka" sound came from within. Then, it slowly opened, revealing a bright hall.
At that moment, a white whirlpool of light suddenly appeared on the surface of the stone door. With a "whoosh", Liu Ming's Demonic Abyss Key was sucked in.
The white whirlpool flashed and disappeared without a trace in an instant. It was as if it had never appeared.
Liu Ming's expression changed. Before he could react, the Demonic Abyss Key had already been swallowed by the white whirlpool and disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it! What's going on! "
He could not help but curse in his heart.
Combining all the information he had obtained so far, it was very likely that the Demonic Abyss Key was a kind of pass that the ancient demon generals used to pass through the Demonic Abyss Tower.
Thus, in the Demonic Abyss Tower, the importance of the Demonic Abyss Key was self-evident. But now that it had disappeared, Liu Ming was naturally very depressed.
He stood where he was for a long time, but he could not think of anything. He could only sigh and accept his bad luck.
After a long time, he let out a light breath and slowly walked into the hall.
The hall was not very large. It was only about a hundred feet wide. It looked like a person's study.
There were two rows of shelves on both sides of the hall. The shelves had a faint yellow light on them. They were filled with thick ancient books, Jade Slips, jade books, and other things.
But perhaps it was because this place was enveloped by a restriction, these things looked brand new. There was not even a speck of dust on them.
Next to the bookshelves, there was an incense burner. A faint fragrance wafted out from the incense burner and filled the entire hall.
In the innermost part of the hall was a black jade desk. On it were brush, ink, paper, and other things. Everything was brand new.
If it was not for the fact that Liu Ming knew that this place had been abandoned for a long time, he would have thought that someone had been here a while ago.
Liu Ming's gaze swept around the hall and landed on the bookshelf on the side.
The bookshelf faintly emitted an earthy yellow light. The wood had a pattern that looked like growth rings. It was actually a famous spiritual wood on the Ten Thousand Demon Continent, Copper Coconut Wood.
Looking at the pattern, it should be the rare ten-thousand-year-old Copper Coconut Wood.
This wood was a top-grade material for refining wood-attribute magic treasures. It was too extravagant to use it to make a bookshelf.
