"Amaliken's Taoist magic arts are about borrowing the power of the stars in the sky," Shen Anan said with assurance. "What are stars? The stars in the sky, the moon at night, and the sun during the day are all stars. "
Ah Hu was puzzled. "The sun and the moon are also stars?"
"Don't talk so much if you're uneducated." Shen Anan rolled his eyes at him and continued, "So in their view, the more important the building is, the higher it is to be built so that they can better receive the power of the stars.
And all the filthy and ominous things must be built very low, the lower the better. It's best if it's underground. "
"Indeed." Qing Yueqiu nodded. She herself had done some research on the history and culture of Amaliken. Especially after knowing that they were going to explore the relics and the last one, she had done a lot of homework.
"But to be buried in this kind of sinkhole, they are usually demons in myths and legends, or people who have committed serious crimes against the whole country." Qing Yueqiu looked at the Ghost Cry Valley and said, "This is to prevent them from being guided by the stars and being resurrected again."
"They found such a deep place. It seems that the owner of this tomb is very unusual." Although Shen Anan said so, his eyes were shining with excitement. Because whether it was to seal a powerful demon or a powerful person, there would definitely be a lot of Dao technique materials, mechanisms, formations, and even magic treasures.
That kind of thing was priceless to the people of this era.
"But these plants are very troublesome. If we want to find the ancient tomb, we can only check it bit by bit. But there should still be some stone forests. It's impossible for there to be stone forests in this kind of terrain. It can only be arranged by the person who built the tomb. When the time comes, let Li Xunyi go around a few more times, and he should be able to find it. "
"Can we set fire to it?" Ah Hu asked, "Just set fire to it and burn it clean, right?"
"No." Zuo Zhicheng said, "This place is too wet. Setting fire to it won't clean it up, and it will cause trouble. It will be bad if the mechanism is activated again and the ancient tomb is destroyed. "
While they were discussing, Li Xunyi flew over from afar. "How about it? Do you want me to take you down one by one, or do you want to go down by yourselves? "
Shen Anan told Zuo Zhicheng about their judgment just now. Zuo Zhicheng also said, "Go and see if there are any stone pillars. Ah Hu and I will take the two of them down."
Then, Zuo Zhicheng took out a rope while Ah Hu stood guard at the side and carried the two women down. Even with the help of an expert like Zuo Zhicheng, Shen Anan was still frightened by the height of nearly 150 meters. After all, at such a height, there was only one rope on his body. When the wind blew, he would spin around. It was terrifying to look down from above.
After some trouble, the four of them finally reached the bottom of the valley. Looking up, they couldn't see the sky under the dense canopy of leaves. It was as if the valley was shrouded in eternal night.
"Phew …" Shen Anan took a few deep breaths. Looking at the inside of the Crying Ghost Valley, which was like another world, he said, "Ordinary people can't get out of this place for the rest of their lives."
It took them more than half an hour to get down. If it weren't for the two warriors, Zuo Zhicheng and Ah Hu, it would have taken them at least two hours. Zuo Zhicheng patted a tree and said, "You guys wait here. I'll go and see how Li Xunyi is doing."
The next moment, like an agile cheetah, he climbed up the tree with a whoosh. The black bone spike in his hand pierced into the tree, and with his powerful strength and explosive power, he climbed to the top of the tree in a few moves. His whole body swayed up and down with the shaking of the tree branches.
As soon as he came up, he heard the scream of a whistling arrow. That was the secret signal they had agreed on with Li Xunyi. Zuo Zhicheng took out a special firework from his arms and released it into the sky.
After a while, Li Xunyi came to Zuo Zhicheng on his flying sword.
"How is it?"
Li Xunyi's expression was a little strange. After thinking for a while, he said, "I found something, but I'm not sure if it's right. You guys go and have a look."
Zuo Zhicheng's original plan was for Li Xunyi to guide them through the forest from the sky. But now it seemed that the vegetation in the Crying Ghost Valley was too lush. It was very easy to get lost in it. The difficulty of moving forward was ten times or even a hundred times more difficult than moving on land.
Therefore, they planned to let Li Xunyi use the flying sword to transport people. Although the Instant Flying Sword could only transport one more person at a time due to its weight and size, four people would need to go back and forth four times. However, it was still much faster than walking. Of course, including the food and tools in the backpack, it would be a total of five trips.
For safety reasons, Zuo Zhicheng was left as the last person to bring up the rear. The first person to be sent over was Ah Hu, then Qing Yueqiu, then Shen Anan, then the backpack, and finally Zuo Zhicheng.
In the beginning, when there were people around, they could still chat to pass the time. But after Li Xunyi took away all the backpacks, only Zuo Zhicheng was left in the forest. The darkness in the forest seemed to have become thicker.
It was as if an invisible black fog was slowly enveloping them.
Zuo Zhicheng frowned. Years of life and death battles made him feel that something was wrong. However, after scanning with infrared vision and night vision, he didn't find anything special.
Unknowingly, the sky seemed to have become darker. A strong wind blew, and the trunks and leaves kept shaking, making a rustling sound.
Zuo Zhicheng suddenly turned his head. But other than the thick darkness, he could not see anything.
'Just now … why did I feel like I was being watched?'
Zuo Zhicheng's five senses were very sharp, and his intuition had been cultivated for years in the Asura Arena. Things like illusions were very far away from him. If he felt that someone was watching him, it was almost certain that someone was watching him.
So he did not think that it was an illusion. Instead, he lifted his feet, pulled out a dagger, and slowly walked into the darkness behind him.
With two slashes, he cut off some weeds and vines. Then, he used infrared vision to scan the area. Still, he did not find anything.
At this moment, the sound of Li Xunyi flying on his flying sword could be heard in the sky.
Zuo Zhicheng frowned. Although he was puzzled, he had no choice but to go back.
After a while, the flying sword whistled again. Li Xunyi and Zuo Zhicheng both left. The ground in the area that Zuo Zhicheng had checked suddenly began to rise.
