"The underground volcano contains the treasures of the ancient gods, it is one of the most important places in Gu Xia City. Naturally, there are many Qi Practitioners guarding it, the paths leading to the underground are also sealed, it's impossible for any ordinary Qi Practitioner to enter."
The seneschal said, "The battle between the young generation of humans and monsters, those who are qualified to watch the battle are the famous figures of the monster race and the disciples of the famous clans. However, Mister Long is a dragon, he is not one of them, he is naturally qualified to watch the battle. As for the four of you …. "
He glanced at Hu Wensheng, Bai Xiushi and the others, he shook his head, implying that these four Qi Practitioners were not qualified to watch the battle.
In fact, Hu Wensheng and the others' territory was the same as Sun Xiao's territory, they were all located in the outskirts of Gu Xia City, not in the mountains, it was a barren land, it was obvious that their status was not high.
The higher ranked monster Qi Practitioners would reside in the mountains surrounding Gu Xia City, that was the symbol of their status and status.
Zhong Yue's heart moved, he smiled and said, "Senior, can you make an exception?"
The seneschal reluctantly smiled and said, "It's not impossible to let them in, this is also to give Mister Long some face. I also want to watch this battle. Very well, you guys follow me in. "
Bai Xiushi, Hu Wensheng and the others were moved to tears, the seneschal clapped his hands, a monster Qi Practitioner walked in, the seneschal smiled and said, "You stay here, I will lead them down the volcano."
The Qi Practitioner nodded.
The seneschal smiled and said, "Mister Long, please follow me."
Zhong Yue followed behind, not long later, the seneschal led them to the lake in the center of the city, it was not big, it was only two to three miles in radius.
The lake was split into two halves from the middle, revealing the empty space underneath. The lake was heavily guarded, there were about a hundred monster Qi Practitioners guarding the perimeter, they even moved the beast god statue from the top of the city and placed it beside the lake!
This formation was not only to prevent the other monster Qi Practitioners from trespassing the forbidden land, but also to prevent the four experts of Swords Gate from coming out of the volcano.
There is a seal in the lake, it is different from the seal in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, the seal here is to seal the entrance of the volcano.
Zhong Yue followed the seneschal down the stairs, he looked around, the water walls on both sides were towering, they looked like they were carved by knives and axes, there were water totem carvings on them. The monsters and humans had their own understanding of the water totem carvings.
Other than the water pattern totems that were imprinted in the lake, there were also many thick totem pillars that were used as wooden stakes to strengthen the seal.
As they ventured deeper into the volcano, not only was there no heat around them, it was even a little cool and refreshing. It was very strange, it must be the slaughtering arrays and teleportation portals laid down by Xin Huo that absorbed the volcano's firepower.
After going several miles underground, the surrounding space became wider and wider. Inside the volcano, there was actually a vast space with a circumference of several dozen miles. Lava pillars stood tall everywhere, supporting the mountain rocks in the sky. The lava formed lakes one after another, gurgling with hot air.
However, Zhong Yue and the others could not feel any heat, it was as if the heat from the lava was being sucked away by a strange force.
"Although Mister Long is from the dragon race, a noble descendant, you have never seen something like this before, have you?"
The steward had a complacent expression as he said, "This is only the outer layer of the underground seal. The divine treasure underground is hundreds of miles deep into the ground. There are seals everywhere and killing intent everywhere. It's incomparably huge and has sucked away all the underground fire in the surroundings of this volcano! Such a formation is extremely rare in the godly spirit's treasure! The godly spirit laid down so many layers of seals before he died, one can only imagine how precious the treasure is! "
Zhong Yue nodded, he did not know whether to laugh or cry, They must not know that Xin Huo created such a huge formation just to send me to the moon, to allow me to sense the moon spirit and become a Qi Practitioner … My god, this brat Xin Huo, how many monster Qi Practitioners have died over the years?
In Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, the little flame was very happy, a fire tail with a sharp tip grew out from his buttocks and flew up into the sky.
As they went deeper into the volcano, the space became wider and wider, the inside of the volcano was filled with craggy cliffs that protruded outwards, shaped like huge mushrooms. Between the mushrooms, there were long and narrow black stone bridges that connected the mushrooms, the bridges were a few miles long, and along these stone bridges, one could go deeper into the volcano.
"Be careful in the air, there are hidden killing arrays everywhere."
The seneschal said, "The ancient god that built this place is very cruel, it's fine to walk along the stone bridges, but if you fly up, the killing arrays will activate and you will be dead in just a few seconds."
In Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, Xin Huo's tail was raised even higher, his face was filled with a "praise me, praise me quickly" expression.
As they went deeper into the volcano, they had unknowingly reached a depth of a hundred miles, the surrounding cliffs were filled with flowing lava, like a waterfall, the scorching hot lava flowed down the cliffs, it was unknown where it was going. But here, the air temperature was still very cool, they could not feel the heat from the lava.
Zhong Yue raised his head and looked up, he was shocked, Xin Huo left this teleportation portal in order to nurture Xin Huo's inheritor, how generous!
The deeper they went into the volcano, the more spacious the space became. At this point, the underground space was even wider than the volcano, it was about four to five hundred miles wide.
The surroundings were filled with lava lakes, huge lava pillars rose up from the ground, the lava pillars were constantly moving, changing their positions in the lava lakes.
Along the way, the surroundings were calm and peaceful, but here, the layers of slaughtering arrays that Xin Huo had set up finally showed their ferocious side. Intense waves of energy surged over, Zhong Yue looked over and saw that the lava pillars had formed into seals and slaughtering arrays. The lava formed the totem carvings on the pillars and flowed around them.
The totem carvings were constantly changing, forming all kinds of strange patterns, making it hard for people to decipher the mysteries hidden within.
As the lava pillars moved, roars could be heard coming from the lava lakes in the array formations, the lava surged like water, and from the lakes, there were huge lava giants and monsters that slowly stood up and walked on the surface of the lakes!
These lava giants and monsters were covered with totem carvings, some of them shot out light rays from their eyes, some of them spat out fireballs, some of them had long fiery tails, they were blazing hot!
Other than that, Zhong Yue also saw that on the walls of the volcano, there were also all kinds of beautiful totem carvings, they should also be totem carvings!
Xin Huo had basically turned this place into a world of totem carvings, it could be said that there were layers upon layers of killing arrays here, if one wanted to enter the heart of the volcano, they would have to enter the killing arrays first!
If one was not careful, they would definitely die a quick death!
"This is only the first layer of killing arrays, it seems like someone has found a safe path."
Xin Huo looked out through Zhong Yue's eyes, he was shocked, he said, "I've left a total of nine layers of killing arrays, each containing a hundred and eight array formations, but they were actually seen through and entered the second layer of killing arrays."
The seneschal carefully led them into the killing arrays, passing through one array formation after another along the way, they could only see a path paved with countless corpses, he said, "Years ago, in order to break through the first layer of killing arrays, our monster race sacrificed countless monsters and used their corpses to pave this path! These monsters' corpses were engraved with all kinds of totem carvings, they were able to resist the totem pillars in the surroundings, that's how they were able to enter the second layer of killing arrays. "
Hu Wensheng and the other monster Qi Practitioners had never seen such an array formation before, they followed behind cautiously, fearing that they would make a mistake. The four Qi Practitioners' faces were pale like paper, they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
The seneschal looked over at Zhong Yue, he saw that Zhong Yue's face was unfazed, he was still walking leisurely, the seneschal couldn't help but praise in his heart, No wonder he's from the noble dragon race, he must have seen a lot, the first layer of killing arrays can't scare him at all.
Little did he know that Zhong Yue was not afraid at all, because the person who created these killing arrays was right in his psyche ocean, walking through these killing arrays was as easy as walking back to his own home.
They went down to the second layer of killing arrays, they saw that this place was a few times more dangerous than the first layer, lava lakes were actually floating in the air, there were all kinds of totem carvings floating in the air, the big and small array formations seemed to be in a mess, there was only a path forged with mystic ice, with nine twists and eighteen turns, passing through these killing arrays.
The mystic ice froze the lava around, allowing them to pass through the ice path safely.
"This ice path was brought here from the extremely cold land, in the ancient times, the magnates of our monster race spent tens of years carving all kinds of totem carvings on the mystic ice, stabilizing the cold air and preventing it from being melted by the heat." The seneschal said.
In Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, Xin Huo's little tail lowered down a little, he was no longer as proud as before, he murmured, "There are still some smart ones in the monster race, they actually know how to break through the array formations I left behind."
At the third layer, there were countless soul weapons linked together, forming a long bridge formed by tens of thousands of soul weapons, passing through the third layer of killing arrays!
On the fourth layer, there were totem pillars formed by tens of feet tall lightning-struck blazing wood, the pillars were inserted into the lava to resist the killing arrays, but the monsters were also able to pass through.
The fifth layer of killing arrays were filled with fire crows, their mouths were filled with sharp teeth, their wingspans spanning over a hundred feet, they were extremely ferocious, the monsters must have lost a lot of magnate Qi Practitioners in order to break through this killing array. Zhong Yue saw huge skeletons lying in the lava, their blood dyed the lava red, the color had yet to fade.
"There are too many demon race experts that have died in the killing array on the fifth floor."
The seneschal sighed and said, "Back then, the strongest existence of our monster race, Linghu Zhaixing, who was said to be close to a god, also fell here. That skeleton is his. "
Zhong Yue looked over, he saw the skeleton of a nine-tailed fox standing in the lava, only bones were left.
"Too many experts have died in order to break through this array formation. This path can be said to be paved by the souls of the dead. "The seneschal sighed, he led Zhong Yue and the others onto the ropeway that was in between the skeletons.
This ropeway was hooked between the skeletons, allowing the people walking on it to enter the array formation safely.
Xin Huo's little tail lowered down a little more, he seemed to have suffered a great blow, the continuous breaking of five arrays had shaken this little flame's confidence.
"The sixth array formation collapsed on its own."
Zhong Yue and the others walked into the sixth layer, it was a wasteland, there were broken stone pillars and lava flowing everywhere. The seneschal laughed and said, "Perhaps the ancient god made a mistake in his calculations, making a small mistake, and as a result, after tens of thousands of years, the small mistake turned into a huge mistake, and then the array formation collapsed on its own."
Xin Huo's tail drooped down, he was dejected.
Zhong Yue comforted him, "Tens of thousands of years have passed, countless experts have died in order to break through your array formation, it is normal for there to be a small mistake."
Xin Huo squatted down and drew circles on Zhong Yue's forehead, he said dejectedly, "You don't have to comfort me, I want some peace and quiet …."
