Chapter 690 The Well of the Abyss

The sound quickly faded away, as if it had left the underground.

The four had already evacuated the room through the skylight on the top of the room. Even if the other party searched carefully, they could only find a few protective suits.

They waited until the footsteps completely disappeared before they jumped off the roof and looked around.

This place is very similar to the entrance. The surrounding area is still flat and orderly stone walls, but the space is much larger. In addition to the long house they were riding in, there are many similar houses, which are densely lined up in a row, like long dragons lying down.

"We have to confirm where this is." Li whispered, "Let's go out of the cave and see the situation first."

This decision was quickly echoed by the three people.

The reconnaissance team followed the only exit all the way up - they also encountered many believers on the way, but no one noticed a few small animals that deliberately hid in the shadows to avoid their whereabouts.

Soon, the four saw the sun again.

The moment she rushed out of the cave, Li widened her eyes in surprise.

She found herself in a huge patio!

Even if Jinxia City is moved here, it can be easily filled in, not to mention that its depth is so deep that you can't see the bottom at a glance. If the vertical height is counted, perhaps dozens of Jinxia Cities can also fit in.

The wellhead above their heads is not far away from them, at most about a hundred steps.

But she can't see the sun.

There is a white sea of ​​clouds above her head. Although the sun can pass through, it blocks the view of looking out.

Li couldn't help but recall a few fragments in her mind-

"The Pope has confirmed that what she has been looking for all her life is between these mountains. But how is this possible? This mountain stretches for thousands of miles, with no roads or rivers. The deeper you go, the thicker the miasma is. It doesn't look like a place where people can enter."

"God bless me, what did I see? There is such a huge pit in the mountains, and it is so deep that you can't see the bottom, as if it leads directly to the Nine Netherworld!"

"This place... is not right. It has been a month since I saw a sunny day. The more I see, the more I see. The closer we get to the foot of the mountain, the wetter the ground gets. It seems like it's always raining overhead. "

"We found more signs of previous human activity, including wheels, pickaxes, and some cut granite blocks. I take back what I said before. Someone did come here, and there were quite a few of them."

"The team decided to evacuate and bring the news back to the headquarters. We've lost too many brothers, and we can't split up into two groups."

"Fortunately, we didn't get nothing. The Pope's guidance was correct. She saw the truth from the fog!"

A shudder ran straight from the soles of her feet to her brain.

Li had goose bumps all over her body.

She knew where this was!

This was the Yongwang Mausoleum that the Black Gate Cult had been looking for, the rumored center of Baiyao Mountain!

This place was a thousand miles away from Huangshan Town. Even Wu Lie couldn't easily cross the steep mountains and enter this hinterland.

It only took them half an hour to cross the seemingly insurmountable mountain barrier in the south?

"Let's go back to the ground and report to Jinxia City."

There was no obstacle in the process of running upwards. There were many bumps and drooping vines on the outer wall of the patio, making it very easy to climb. However, no matter how the antenna was set up, Li could only hear a dead sound. The magic weapon that had worked in the past seemed to lose its effectiveness at the moment.

"No, there is no response from Jinxia City." Li cut off the signal.

"What should we do? Should we go back?" Shanhui asked in a low voice.

The other two also looked at the fox demon, waiting for her to make a decision.

Li was in a dilemma at this moment.

In theory, the mission of the reconnaissance team has been successfully completed. They not only found the whereabouts of the Black Gate Cult, but also found the possible burial place of Prince Yong. As long as the news is brought to Jinxia City, the army will take over the rest.

The problem is that Luo Qingqing is still in the team of the Black Gate Cult.

If these 50,000 people are used as the medicine for the chaos magic, Luo Qingqing will definitely not sit idly by. Then the problem comes. This is the enemy's base camp. No matter how strong a listener is, it is impossible to escape unscathed. The Jinxia army had just crossed the Shengan border. Even if they could send the news back that day, support would have to wait for five or six days.

That would be too late!

Whether the 50,000 people could be saved was another matter. She asked herself if she didn't want to leave Miss Luo alone here. The ideal situation was that the news of the Black Gate Sect could be sent back to Jinxia on time, and she could find a chance to see Luo Qingqing. However, this patio was incredibly large. From above, it seemed to be made up of countless layers of ring-shaped buildings. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a city. She was really not sure she could find the whereabouts of the other party in a short time.

It seemed that she had to split up her forces.

Let Wu Lie and Jiulin go back to report the news, and she would continue to search this place with Shanhui to see if there was a chance to disrupt the Black Gate Sect's sacrifice and rescue Luo Qingqing...

"Swish—————Swish—————!"

Just as Li was about to speak, a series of rapid whistles interrupted her thoughts.

"What happened?"

"Did the Black Gate Cult discover that someone had sneaked into their lair?"

The four of them quickly crouched down and lay on the edge of the well to look down.

Soon, they realized that the whistles were not directed at them.

They saw dense black shadows crawling out of the well and swarming upwards.

"It's evil spirits!"

The sharp-eyed Wu Lie exclaimed.

That's right, Li also recognized that the shadows crawling along the well wall were all ghosts.

They were like ghosts that had escaped from the abyss. They had human-like forms, but their joints were bent backwards, and their hands and feet were on the ground. Just looking at them made people feel creepy.

The Black Gate Cult also responded immediately.

A large number of guards holding bows appeared on the platforms on the upper floors. They lit their bows and crossbows, leaned out, and shot waves of flaming arrows at the evil spirits approaching below.

The light from the dark clouds also slowed down the pace of the evil spirits. The closer they were to the upper floors, the slower they moved. When the rain of arrows tilted down, hundreds of evil spirits became the first wave of targets. They were not afraid of arrows, but the flames on the arrows could effectively hit the bodies of the evil spirits.

After a while, the magic of the Taoist priests also participated in the interception.

The flying flower flames and the strong wind slash appeared alternately, and each shot could destroy dozens of evil spirits. Although there were at least tens of thousands of attackers, and the demons were not afraid of life and death, they could only approach a distance of fifty feet from the ground at most under the orderly interception of the Black Gate Cult, and could not move forward any further.

Undoubtedly, this was not the first time that the Black Gate Cult encountered an attack by evil spirits.

Judging from their arrangements and tactics, similar battles have occurred at least a hundred times or even more, so they were able to organize a defense line as soon as the whistle sounded, and their well-trained level was comparable to that of an elite army.

Li shook his head in confusion.

Why would the Black Gate Cult, which is good at chaos arts, wage a persistent struggle with evil spirits in such a place?
