Chapter 1491 Secret Passage (2)

Chapter 1491

Wang Chong absorbed the power of the nightmare beast, and his spiritual strength has reached seven or eight times the original strength. This kind of spiritual power is enough to make most warriors, including the giants in the sect world, fear it. This is also the basis for him to master all kinds of information and intelligence underground.

Wang Chong's mental power detection range is 1,000 meters. Although this distance is not too far, it is more than enough for Wang Chong to just search for the information he wants in the dark river.

Wang Chong swam through the dark river like a fish, and all kinds of information poured into his mind.

"How about it?"

Patriarch Ji Li asked from the side, with a look of anticipation in his eyes. Wang Chong's huge mental strength was no secret to him.

"The underground metal veins are zigzagging. Although the location of the underground river hasn't changed much, the direction of the veins is quite different. Any place with a thickness of more than 100 meters of metal veins is not worth considering."

Wang Chong pondered, with a very calm expression on his face.

Patriarch Ji Li nodded. He was quite convinced of Wang Chong's ability and judgment.

"...In addition, it is almost impossible under normal circumstances to use the underground river to dig through the metal veins, bypass some checkpoints, and enter the back of the underground palace. However, everything is not absolute. The veins can be deep or shallow, thick or thick. Thin, and considering the location and distribution of the underground palace in the vein. As long as the direction of the vein is not stable, we can always find some opportunities."

"Also, although the underground river is far away from the underground palace in the underground mine veins, there are rock formations above the underground river, and the metal veins are above the rock formations. In some places, the rock formations are thin, but the metal veins are thick, and in some places, the rock formations are very thick. The metal veins are very thin, and these need to be explored on a case-by-case basis. And if the latter happens, that's our chance."

Wang Chong raised his head and said. His eyes are sharp, even in the dark and cold river, they are shining brightly, shining with the light of wisdom.

Patriarch Ji Li looked at Wang Chong like this, and nodded involuntarily.

He didn't completely follow Wang Chong's train of thought, but the spirit, will and momentum that Wang Chong radiated made him involuntarily infected. In Wang Chong, he saw a very precious vitality. It seemed that no matter what difficulties and crises he was in, the young man beside him would never give up easily.

He is like a burning candle,

It is impossible to give up halfway until the last ray of light is dissipated. In his belief, there is always hope.

This point made the ancestor Jili deeply moved.

Having been polished in the sectarian world for a long time, it is hard to find this kind of passion and sharpness.

"Clatter!"

The two continued to swim forward, exploring in the dark.

During this process, the underground mineral veins above vibrated three more times, each time accompanied by the sound of resonant machine rotation. No one knew what happened above, the two only knew that the battle must be getting more and more intense, and more and more people must be buried above.

Everyone is advancing towards the core of Da Luo's treasure in their own way. The same is true for Wang Chong and Patriarch Ji Li.

As time passed, the emerald green leaves on the two of them were also being consumed.

The two swam in the underground river for a long time, and the further they went, the more dangerous they were. The two of them even considered that if it didn't work, they had to ensure enough oxygen to swim back to the ground the same way.

"found it!"

I don't know how long it took, but when the dark river and the metal vein above his head were about to be completely separated, Wang Chong's whole body was shaken, and he raised his head suddenly, looking somewhere deep above his head, his eyes were extremely sharp.

"What's wrong?"

Patriarch Ji Li looked surprised and asked quickly. In this regard, his Gong Gong Shen Jue is completely useless, and he can only rely on Wang Chong.

"I haven't been able to confirm it yet, but the rock formation here is the thickest I have ever encountered. In other words, the metal veins in this area are theoretically the thinnest, and it is most likely that we can directly borrow them. Enter the core of Da Luo's treasure."

"But all of this is just a theory. We still need to further confirm the location of the underground palace in the metal vein. If the underground palace is not here, it proves that our method will not work, and then we can only go back the same way."

Wang Chong said. His eyes looked up, without blinking.

From the beginning to the present, the rock formations he encountered were basically about 600 meters thick, and only this place was the most special. The thickness of the rock strata is as high as seven or eight hundred meters, and the trend of the ore veins here also suddenly slows down, which is relatively much weaker.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Patriarch Jili's expression tightened immediately.

"Whether it is or not, we can only try our best, and hope that the situation we are worried about will not happen!"

Patriarch Jili looked up and said anxiously.

Wang Chong didn't speak, but just nodded.

"boom!"

The next moment, a majestic spiritual power condensed into substance, and shot out from his mind. After passing through the rock hundreds of meters above, he did not continue to explore as usual, but suddenly shrank , gathered at one point, gathered into a white silver needle, and with a bang sound, it hit heavily at the bottom of the hard and dense metal vein above.

The two collided, and in an instant, an invisible sound wave immediately spread towards the inside of the vein.

"Buzz!"

For a moment, Wang Chong held his breath and concentrated his attention, listening intently. And the Ancestor Ji Li at the side also showed a nervous look. Although his mental power is not as strong as Wang Chong's, he still has extremely powerful perception. Although Wang Chong didn't explain his methods of detection and verification to him in detail, Patriarch Ji Li could also see something from his actions.

Obviously, Wang Chong is using sound to test the "virtual reality" inside the mine vein and determine the location of the underground palace in the mine vein.

Time passed slowly, and the surroundings were as silent as death, except for the sound of the dark river flowing.

Wang Chong and Patriarch Ji Li stood in the icy river, motionless, only their hearts beating in their chests.

One second, two seconds, three seconds..., the sound spread in the vein, Wang Chong listened carefully.

"Is it still not working?"

Wang Chong muttered to himself, the disappointment in his eyes hard to hide.

On the other side, Patriarch Ji Li was also observing Wang Chong's face, seeing Wang Chong's reaction, Patriarch Ji Li felt a little lonely in his heart. Wang Chong didn't need to elaborate, he already knew the result.

Just when the two of them were depressed to the extreme, hum, suddenly a subtle echo refracted back and fell into Wang Chong's perception.

This echo was very weak, like a mosquito. If Wang Chong hadn't been listening carefully and concentrating, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"No... this voice!"

In an instant, Wang Chong trembled all over, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, his eyes were extremely bright.

The sound will only be refracted when it encounters a different medium. In other words, the density of the metal changes in the direction in which the echo returns.

The interior of the metal vein is extremely dense, and he and Patriarch Ji Li are at the bottom of the metal vein, at the end of the vein. It is impossible for this to happen under normal circumstances. There is only one explanation for hearing the echo——

The place where the response is sent out is where the underground palace is located.

boom!

Thinking of this, Wang Chong's spirits were lifted, and without thinking, he slapped out suddenly.

In an instant, a majestic aura blasted down on the top of an underground river thirty meters away from Wang Chong.

In an instant, accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, smoke and dust billowed, mud and sand fell, and a pothole about one and a half meters immediately appeared above the dark river.

"Senior, I'm afraid I will need your help next. Go up here and break through the rock formation above. The passage we are looking for is likely to be there."

Wang Chong suddenly turned his head, looked at the ancestor Ji Li beside him and said.

"What! Prince, what do you mean!"

Patriarch Ji Li was shocked, and immediately became excited.

Wang Chong didn't speak, but nodded with a smile.

"This, how is this possible!"

For a moment, Ji Li Patriarch was also stunned.

Although he, like Wang Chong, hoped to find a secret passage from the dark river to Da Luo's treasure, the probability of such a thing was extremely high and it was almost impossible, so when Wang Chong told him that there really was such a "passage" At that time, the ancestor Jili was a little unbelievable.

"I don't know the specific situation, but there is indeed a special echo in the metal vein. Judging from the time and direction of the echo, the thickness of this metal vein is about ten meters. If we are lucky, we are very likely to This leads directly to the core."

Wang Chong said.

Wang Chong and Patriarch Ji Li didn't continue talking, and they worked together to dig along the hole at the top of the dark river.

The rock formation here is six to seven hundred meters deep, and it is extremely hard. However, neither Wang Chong nor Patriarch Ji Li are ordinary masters.

Especially Patriarch Jili. In other aspects, he may still have a certain gap compared with Wang Chong, but when it comes to water-related matters, including digging a channel in the rock formation at the top of the underground river, even Wang Chong is far behind him. big gap.

Rumbling, turbulent waves hit the shore, Patriarch Ji Li stood in the pothole, standing like a god, and the waves of the dark river turned into the most violent torrent in his hands, constantly washing the pothole.

In the rock formation above, a passage was dug with astonishing speed.

Time passed quickly, and after about a cup of tea, Wang Chong and Ji Li Patriarch finally dug a 600-700-meter passage in the rock formation, reaching the top of the metal vein.

"finally reached!"

Looking at the bronze-colored mineral veins in front of them, Patriarch Ji Li and Wang Chong's faces were slightly pale. In order to dig this passage, both of them consumed a lot of energy, and a leaf was also consumed.

"This is the last leaf, and we still have time for a cup of tea. After a cup of tea, we have to leave, no matter whether it is connected or not, otherwise, the remaining air will not be enough for us to return the same way."

Wang Chong handed over the last two leaves in his hand, and stuffed the other into his mouth.

All leaves have been consumed at this point.

"Um!"

Patriarch Ji Li nodded, and his expression became serious.

Stuffing the leaves into his mouth, Patriarch Ji Li quickly raised his head and looked at the metal veins in the ground in front of him.

boom!

Patriarch Ji Li flicked his finger, and the stellar energy burst out of his body immediately, blasting on the metal vein in front of him.

This time it was only for a moment, and a loud echo immediately entered the ears.

"That's right, it's here!"

If Patriarch Ji Li still had doubts about Wang Chong's words at the beginning, Patriarch Ji Li is now convinced. There is indeed a hidden passage here.

"I really can't believe that such a hard and thick mineral vein will leave a secret passage here. It is said that the Great Luo Immortal is a prophet. Could it be that his divination also made a mistake?"

Patriarch Ji Li muttered to himself.
