Chapter 341: Down to the Cave

According to rumors, this warrior was a real person in the Jindan realm.

After the real person disappeared in this cave, the cave ruins, which were once very popular, became deserted in just a few days.

Firstly, after a long period of development and exploration, the five layers of the cave ruins above have been basically explored, but the dangerous creatures living there have not decreased much.

At this time, exploring these areas will not only fail to obtain any precious treasures, but also take great risks.

Secondly, because the Jindan real person died below the cave, many cultivators who wanted to explore the sixth layer were discouraged, fearing that they would follow the footsteps of the Jindan real person.

Lu Ya fell from the air and stood in front of the black hole of the ruins. A cautious look appeared in his eyes. He sacrificed the Xuanyuan Spirit Shield, then stepped into the gap and walked towards the cave below step by step.

As Lu Ya went deeper, the visibility in the cave was rapidly decreasing. He only went down to the second floor of the cave, and everything he saw was already dark.

However, this level of darkness was not a problem for a Jindan Zhenren like Lu Ya. Even without using lighting spells, Lu Ya could still see the surrounding things clearly.

This cave ruins was extremely huge. According to statistics from some people, this ruins was most likely a large cultivation city with a permanent population of millions before it was buried.

However, it was unknown why such a huge cultivation city was buried underground and how it was done.

"Hiss!"

In the darkness, an object suddenly shot out from the ruins, and with the cover of darkness, it rushed straight to Lu Ya's heart like a black light.

Its momentum was extremely fast. If an ordinary Qi cultivator was not careful, he would be hit by it.

However, for this level of attack, Lu Ya did not even think of dodging.

The black light suddenly hit the Xuanyuan Spirit Shield on Lu Ya's body. The powerful impact squeezed the attacker into a pool of meat paste on the spot, and smeared a layer of irregular paint on the spirit shield on Lu Ya's body.

Lu Ya had encountered no less than ten such attacks along the way. Each time, he hit his body shield like a moth to a flame, and was washed away by magic power.

Lu Ya did not stop, just walking in the ruins of the cave.

He was on a street at this time. On both sides of the street were three-story courtyards. The rigorous architectural style made these long-abandoned buildings still retain a trace of decency and dignity in their lifetime.

However, the main doors of these courtyards were wide open. In the darkness, they were like huge mouths that wanted to choose people to eat, waiting for ignorant passers-by to break in.

In fact, these courtyards had been explored by nearby monks long ago. Anything of value had been looted. Now, perhaps only these worthless houses and buildings remain here.

Trample!

Trample!

Lu Ya's footsteps spread far in this deserted cave. The dead ruins were using their own way to show the arrival of uninvited guests to the creatures in the ruins.

Trample! Trample!

Trample! Trample!

In the darkness, the originally regular footsteps suddenly echoed.

Lu Ya stopped and the footsteps disappeared immediately.

He took a step, and a footstep sound came from his feet. Then another identical sound sounded in Lu Ya's ears, slowly echoing in this area.

It was only one step, but two footsteps were heard one after another.

Lu Ya narrowed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness quietly probed out, and began to search for the owner of the footsteps.

After a few breaths, Lu Ya's eyes became more serious, and he found nothing in his consciousness.

So he took another step forward, and two footsteps sounded again, one in front and one behind.

At the moment of sound, Lu Ya suddenly pointed out a finger, and the finger of extinction disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the moment when the finger of extinction was shot out, Lu Ya keenly sensed a strange fluctuation.

He looked in one direction, and in two steps he had arrived at the place where the fluctuation came from. He saw a drop of unknown liquid dripping on the dusty stone slab.

Lu Ya did not rashly reach out to grab it, or use his consciousness to explore, but just shoveled the drop of liquid with a thin jade piece and put it in front of his eyes to observe with his naked eyes.

After observing for a while, the footsteps did not sound again, and Lu Ya put down the jade piece in his hand.

He exhaled, and his heart had some expectations for the unknown existence.

Because just now, he carefully checked it with his naked eyes and found no problems, but when he tried to use his spiritual sense to explore the internal structure of the liquid, Lu Ya was surprised to find that the liquid could not be observed by his spiritual sense.

In other words, the creature with this drop of liquid is invisible in a sense.

Especially in this dark environment, visibility is not high, and the spiritual sense is useless. The threat of this creature hidden in the dark is far greater than that of other conventional creatures.

"Invisible?"

Lu Ya smiled slightly, and the next moment, a breeze suddenly blew through the ruins.

Everything that the breeze blew over emerged in Lu Ya's mind, and finally Lu Ya cast his eyes behind a stone lion about a hundred feet away from them.

His spiritual sense was cast over without hesitation, but he found that there was no one behind the stone lion.

"Found you."

Lu Ya stepped down, his figure swept like a gust of wind, and the next moment he appeared a hundred feet away. His punch containing the true fire of the sun hit the back of the stone lion.

This scene was too abrupt and swift. Before the invisible creature could react, he found that his chest had been pierced. He staggered two steps and fell to the ground unwillingly.

Lu Ya looked at the dust on the ground raised by the heavy object falling, roughly estimated the size of the monster, and then put it into the storage ring.

After solving such a mysterious existence, Lu Ya continued to explore in this ruined city, like a horse-drawn tour, and soon came to the entrance of the fifth floor.

This ruins is too large, and there are basically no valuable treasures or clues related to Jianmu arrows in the first four floors.

Fortunately, Lu Ya directly found the nearest cave entrance and faced down without any delay.

"Tick-tick~tick-tick~"

The crisp ticking sound began to ring in Lu Ya's ears as he stepped onto the fifth floor.

It has no killing power, but this continuous ticking sound is really frightening, especially in such a dim place.

Lu Ya had no expression on his face, just opened his mouth and spit, and a bean fire emerged in front of him.

Then Lu Ya continued to infuse his magic power, and the sun's true fire became a fireball the size of a human head in a few breaths. The orange-red light emanated from it, forcibly dispelling the dense darkness around.

Lu Ya moved his mind, and the fireball slowly flew to a position about two feet above his head, clearly showing everything within a range of twenty feet around him.

The fifth floor of the cave is the limit that the nearby monks can reach. According to the information Lu Ya obtained, the area of ​​the fifth floor is nearly half that of the first floor, and the number of buildings in it is less, but there are more creatures active in it, and each of them is quite powerful.

In the past, monks who came to the fifth floor had a monster distribution map in hand, and they would not provoke these monsters if they could.

Usually these creatures stayed in their own territories, which might not be large, but as long as there were places guarded by these creatures, there must be precious treasures, perhaps magic tools, perhaps a medicinal garden, or perhaps a Taoist scripture, and so on.

There were also monks who had organized monks before, trying to gather the power of everyone to defeat them one by one, so as to clean up the fifth floor.

However, after being besieged by the monsters of the entire fifth floor, the three people who escaped by chance brought the information of "cannot gather" to the outside world, and many monks who were ready to fight stopped.

At this time, due to Lu Ya's behavior, an artificial sun rose slowly on the fifth floor of this dark cave, and the light emitted by Lu Ya could be seen from a long distance.

But soon, when Lu Ya saw the surrounding environment clearly, the artificial sun suddenly shattered and dissipated, and the place returned to darkness.

Although it was only a few breaths, Lu Ya had reflected everything around him in his heart.

In the distance, there is a vague upside-down tower standing on the fifth floor. It is the most conspicuous symbol of the fifth floor of the cave. Through the upside-down tower, you can judge your approximate location.

And there is only one entrance to the sixth floor, which is the top of the tower.

It's a pity that the foundation-building monks who ambushed him before did not tell him the specific location of the arrows, otherwise Lu Ya could go straight to the target place, instead of using the stupid method like now, to explore the five floors carefully first.

As Lu Ya walked, his spiritual sense continued to explore, searching from the outermost circle to the center.

As long as the monsters he encountered were blind, Lu Ya didn't mind turning them into fertilizers, and occasionally he could harvest some treasures he had never seen before.

For four days, Lu Ya explored the entire fifth floor of the cave, but he didn't find even a single arrow, but he did harvest some spiritual materials and medicines.

During this period, he also met several teams of monks who ventured to the fifth floor. Lu Ya had a brief exchange with them and killed a team of monks who had ill intentions towards him.

During the exchange, Lu Ya learned that a few days before his arrival, several monks suspected of being Jindan went straight to the inverted tower, seemingly to use the tower to go to the sixth floor of the cave.

After learning this news, Lu Ya did not delay any longer and silently accelerated the pace of advancement.

Until today, Lu Ya finally stepped into the thousand-foot range of the inverted tower.

As soon as he stepped into the thousand-foot range of the inverted tower, Lu Ya's divine sense was immediately rebounded, and he was slightly surprised.

What is the origin of this inverted tower? There is actually a ban that prohibits divine sense exploration outside a thousand feet.

Generally speaking, this kind of ban usually appears in the core area of ​​the sect to protect important information and assets.

However, this inverted tower has this kind of ban set up within a thousand feet range. This alone is a huge and time-consuming and labor-intensive project.

When Lu Ya stepped into the inverted tower, he found that the monsters that seemed to be everywhere before had disappeared here.

Lu Ya walked towards the inverted tower, cautiously all the way, but did not encounter any risks.

Until he arrived at the tower.

Lu Ya looked up at the tower in front of him, which looked like an inverted bamboo shoot, with a pointed bottom and wide top. The widest part was exactly a hundred feet wide, and it gradually decreased. When it reached Lu Ya's feet, it was less than ten feet wide.

If they want to enter the sixth floor of the cave, they must fly to the base of the tower, enter the tower from the entrance there, and then enter the sixth floor of the cave.

Lu Ya first went forward and touched the tower. The tower was pitch black, and there were a lot of uneven knots on the surface. The building materials looked like gold, not wood. Lu Ya flicked his fingers, and the tower wall in front of him actually made a sound of metal clashing.

The building materials alone were a huge expense.

Lu Ya did not hesitate, and his body rose up, and soon he rose to a height of more than five floors, but he was still more than half the distance from the bottom of the tower, as if the tower and the cave were not in the same space.

This made Lu Ya realize that the magic of this tower was more than he imagined.

After flying upwards for a while, Lu Ya finally saw the entrance of the tower.

The entrance of the tower was closed, but the deposited dust showed some signs of being moved. Obviously, this was what the monks he met before said that someone had come here in advance.

Lu Ya put his palm on the door and pushed hard, trying to push it open.

However, his judgment was obviously wrong this time. As he pushed the door, the heavy and solid door was pushed open by Lu Ya.

Lu Ya was stunned for a moment, and then walked into the tower.

The tower was an empty hall. The various tables and chairs in the hall were now scattered, but the strange thing was that these tables and chairs should have been on the ceiling, but now they were all hanging upside down on the ground.

Even Lu Ya himself could see that he was standing on the floor, and the ceiling was hanging upside down above his head.

The rapid switching of space made Lu Ya a little dizzy.

Lu Ya raised his head and looked at the tower. Then he saw that on the inner wall of the tower, there were circles of stairs winding up and sinking into the darkness.

The stairs were full of vicissitudes, and were covered with various forbidden spiritual patterns, arranged in rectangular shapes. Lu Ya took a glance and stepped onto the stairs without hesitation, and began to walk up.

After winding up the stairs one circle after another, Lu Ya finally reached the end of the tower after a long walk.

At the end of this tower, there was not a dark hole leading directly to the sixth floor of the cave, but an octagonal ancient teleportation array.

There were a few cracks on the surface of the teleportation array, but it did not seem to affect its use.

On the teleportation array, there were eight high-quality spiritual stones placed in the grooves of the teleportation array at this moment to provide energy for the teleportation array.
