Chapter 346 Stone Gate

The defeat of the second-level blood bat seemed to be a signal. The remaining few blood bats that had not entered the level also circled in the air and headed towards the second-level blood bats. Even the corpses on the periphery gave up fighting and disappeared into the darkness.

In the blink of an eye, all the enemies disappeared. It seemed that there was a reason for their advance and retreat. If you say that there was no one behind the scenes, no one would believe it.

In the battle just now, not only the second-level blood bat was severely injured, but also seven or eight of the remaining dozen blood bats that had not entered the level died. It can be said that the loss was heavy, and the strength dropped by nearly half. It should not launch an attack again in a short time. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The cultivators also suffered damage, but the situation was not very serious. Only Lu Dingshan's injury was slightly more serious, which might affect his strength.

Looking at the empty stone hall, Chen Biwang said lightly: "A bunch of chickens and dogs."

"Fellow Taoists? Do you want to continue moving forward?" Tao Yougong asked.

Having just repelled a wave of attacks, Chen Biwang was in high spirits and said, "Why not continue? Judging from the previous wave of attacks, the people in this underground palace only have this much strength. The instigator has run out of tricks, and we should destroy them in one go."

Lv Feng said, "Yes, if he has other means, he would have used them long ago. Their retreat shows that the person behind them knows that they are not our opponents and began to shrink their forces, waiting for us to attack and completely destroy his nest."

Everyone knows that the previous battle was a test. If the person behind them has the ability to destroy them in one go, they will definitely use all the means. As a result, they left after one try, which shows that the other party is not sure of winning, which gives everyone great confidence.

The previous battle was just a small test. Many people don’t have their own real skills yet. Even if the person behind them has any back-up, they are not to be feared. After thinking about this, everyone couldn’t help but become curious. What secrets are there in this underground palace that have killed so many monks one after another.

Guo Kaifeng urged: "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

Everyone packed up and continued to walk forward. This stone hall seemed to be much larger than the previous one. After walking for more than a hundred feet, they still didn't reach the end.

The range of the divine consciousness of a Qi-refining cultivator is only four or five feet to more than twenty feet. The strongest cultivator present is only at the fifth level of Qi-refining, and the range of his divine consciousness is only a dozen feet, which is much inferior to the width of the entire stone hall. It can't cover the entire stone hall anyway.

The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. Perhaps there is some danger hidden in the secret place of the stone hall. Even those blood bats are staring at everyone in the dark. As everyone walked, they used their divine consciousness to observe the surroundings at any time to avoid being caught off guard when danger occurs.

After walking a few dozen feet forward, everyone finally came to the end of the stone hall. Just looking at the wall in front of them, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, because there was no way out in front.

Looking ahead, Chen Biwang wondered, "There is no passage here. Is this a dead end? No, if it is a dead end, where did those blood bats and corpses come from?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe we took the wrong road and missed some fork in the road." Lu Dingshan said.

Qingyang said, "Let's look for it first. When we came here, there was only this road. It should be correct. Maybe there is another exit in this stone hall."

After Qingyang finished speaking, he took the lead in searching around, and the others did the same. Soon, Mi Ling on the other side shouted, "Here... there is a stone door here!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the wall in front of Mi Ling seemed different from other places. Other places were square stones, but here were two huge stone slabs, which looked like two stone doors. There were even two stone door knockers in the middle.

Because the walls of the entire stone hall are all made of stone, which is similar to the material of this stone door, and there are no obvious thresholds, door frames, sitting animals, etc. near the stone door, the difference is not very obvious. If you don’t observe carefully, you really can’t find it.

Chen Biwang walked up and pushed it, and found that the stone door was motionless. He used his mind to explore inside, but was blocked by an unknown force.

After groping for a long time, Chen Biwang said: "There are indeed two stone doors here, and they are sealed with formations. It is very difficult to break them."

After listening to Chen Biwang’s words, Guo Kaifeng thought about it and said: "Is it possible that the person behind this is afraid of us, so he deliberately hid and sealed the stone door with a formation? He hopes that we can’t find or open the stone door and automatically retreat?"

"How is it possible? We have come here, how can we retreat because of a stone door? The people inside can’t be so stupid, right?" Lu Dingshan said.

Yes, the purpose of this group of people coming down is to rescue Tao Youcheng and find out the reasons why the previous groups of people got into trouble. How could they retreat just because of a stone door? Deliberately using a stone door to block everyone, isn't it a case of trying to cover up the truth?

"Could it be that there are some traps or conspiracies hidden behind this stone door?" Mi Ling said.

This is possible. Maybe the person behind this underground palace is hiding behind the stone door, waiting for everyone to be off guard and to strike a fatal blow. It is also possible that this stone door is a trap, and the other party deliberately set up a trap to arouse everyone's curiosity, waiting for them to enter and fall into the trap.

Although they knew there might be danger, they were not worried. Qiu Mingxi said directly: "We have come here. We can't just turn around and leave. We must open this stone door. No matter if the enemy is hiding inside or it is a conspiracy trap set up deliberately, we must go in and take a look."

Lv Feng nodded and said: "We are here. We will not be willing not to go in and take a look. However, no one present knows the formation. It seems that we can only break it with brute force."

Chen Biwang said: "The level of the formation on this stone door is not very high. With so many of us taking turns to attack, it should not take long to break this stone door."

After discussing it, everyone did not delay and quickly divided into two groups. Each of them sacrificed their own magic weapons and took turns to bombard the stone door in front.

Suddenly, the whole stone hall was rumbling, and the surrounding walls began to vibrate, shaking everyone's ears, almost catching up with the noise of the blood bats just now.

The formation on this stone gate seems to be more powerful than the rock formation Qingyang had seen before. After a round of attacks, the stone gate in front did not change much, and even the spiritual light it aroused did not dim at all. It seems that it will take a lot of effort to break through this stone gate.
