Chapter 442: The Earth's Core Cave
After thinking about it for a long time, Qingyang finally made up his mind. This kind of thing should not be missed. He should first follow him secretly and have a look. Although the other party is very powerful, he still has the ability to protect himself. If there is a conflict, it is not There is no way to fight back.
After breaking through the medicine garden, Qingyang has not used force again. After this period of adjustment, Qingyang's previous consumed energy, spiritual energy, and physical strength have also recovered to a certain extent, which will not affect his actions for the time being, so Qingyang withdraws his thoughts. , heading towards the direction the two people left.
Lan Yan said before that they were going to meet Master Lingxu at the center of the secret hall, and the Wenxin Tower should be in the center of the secret hall. There were not many roads nearby. Based on his own judgment and the direction in which the two people left, Qingyang quickly caught up with Lan Yan and Xiqiu. However, in order to prevent them from discovering him prematurely, Qingyang just followed from a distance and did not dare to get too far forward.
Lan Yan and Xiqiu never noticed anyone following them. They seemed to be very familiar with the roads in the secret hall. They passed several corridors and passed through many courtyards, and walked forward without stopping for two days. After three hours, he finally arrived at a palace.
This palace is not very big, and it is nothing special compared to other courtyards. If it had not been agreed in advance, no one would pay special attention to such a place.
The palace was empty, and there didn't seem to be a single figure. The blue flame entered the palace, clapped his hands a few times in a certain rhythm, and then saw a figure suddenly flash out from the innermost part of the hall. Qingyang also knew that person, It was Jiao Hong who had once won over him.
Seeing that Jiao Hong was the only one here, Lan Yan couldn't help but ask: "Why are you the only one here? Where are the others? Could it be that the two of us came early?"
Lan Yan and Xiqiu were in a group. They had been to several places before, and they always left after finishing their work. The last medicine garden was visited by others first, and there was almost no time wasted. Therefore, Lan Yan thought that he came early enough, and the others People may not have time to meet here yet.
Little did he know that as soon as he spoke, Jiao Hong complained: "Don't look at what time it is now. If it were later, all the trial disciples would have come in. How could the others not come now? Others would have arrived long ago. , now it’s just you two.”
Hearing what Jiao Hong said, Na Xiqiu couldn't help but ask: "We hurriedly rushed and didn't dare to delay for a moment. Unexpectedly, we came a little later than you. Where are the others?"
Na Jiao Hong said: "We met here yesterday. Time is running out. Master Lingxu can't wait for you two and has already led others into the Earth Center Tower. I am the only one left here to meet you. Without further ado, let's hurry up." Go over and help.”
Hearing that Mr. Lingxu had led someone into the Earth Center Tower yesterday, Lan Yan and Xiqiu both felt nervous. They were in such a hurry, but ended up being a day later than others. It didn't matter if they were a little bit more tired. It would be bad if Master Lingxu misunderstood that they were lazy and unwilling to do their best. The two of them didn't dare to talk anymore and hurriedly followed Jiao Hong towards the back door of the palace.
Behind the palace was a large dense forest. The three of them walked a few steps east and west according to a certain pattern, sometimes moving forward and sometimes turning back, as if they were walking through some kind of maze. It took about as long as a stick of incense, and finally they finally arrived. Came to a big tree.
After finding the big tree, Jiao Hong asked the other two people to stay away from each other, then he tied his legs into a horse stance, stretched out his arms to hug the big tree, and started to spin to one side. After a few clicks, some mechanism was triggered, and the bushes not far from them actually parted on their own initiative.
After the bushes parted, a secret passage was revealed below. Jiao Hong waved to the other two people, and the three of them jumped into the secret passage. After they entered, the secret passage quickly closed, the bushes reset themselves, and the surrounding area returned to its original state.
Qingyang did not dare to move too far forward, and could only watch from a distance how the three of them walked, secretly remembering all the paths they took and the movements they made. Unexpectedly, the location of the Geocentric Tower they mentioned was so secret. If he had not followed them here in person, Qingyang would not be able to find the entrance to the Geocentric Tower even if he could come here.
After the three people entered the secret passage, Qingyang waited outside for a while. Feeling that they should have left here, Qingyang cautiously stepped forward.
Following the path that the three people walked before, Qingyang also walked a few steps east and west just like they did before, sometimes moving forward and sometimes turning back, as if he was walking through a maze, not daring to make any mistakes. Qingyang's memory was pretty good and he didn't make any mistakes along the way. After about a stick of incense, he arrived at the tree smoothly.
Following what Jiao Hong had done before, Qingyang braced himself, stretched out his arms and started spinning around the big tree. As expected, the bushes not far away parted, revealing the secret passage inside.
Qingyang first observed with his spiritual mind to confirm that there was no ambush inside. He jumped up and entered the secret passage. Then the secret passage closed and the bushes and trees returned to their original positions.
Leaving aside the things outside for now, after entering the secret passage, Qingyang did not rush in, but first carefully observed the surrounding environment. Although it is underground, the light inside is good. You can see things directly with your eyes, which can save a lot of spiritual energy.
The secret passage is only a little narrower at the entrance. As you go deeper, it becomes more and more spacious. Looking from a distance, it seems to be a huge cave in the center of the earth.
The entire earth core cave is huge and bottomless, with a radius of at least hundreds of feet. Judging from the traces around it, the earth core cave seems to be naturally formed. Yes, if such a large earth core cave is dug by hand alone, how much manpower would it take?
Perhaps because no one has entered or exited for a long time, the earth core cave lacks human management. On the stone walls around the cave, there are all kinds of plants, birds, insects and animals, and even many trees that are thousands of years old. It is estimated that it is precisely because of the obstruction of these trees and the noise of birds and animals that the movement when Qingyang opened the secret passage was not discovered by the people who came in before.
There are simple steps dug by hand on the stone walls around it, which can be used to go up and down. Of course, this is only for Qi-refining cultivators like Qingyang. If ordinary people come in, it may take a lot of effort. The three people who came in before are long gone, and they are estimated to have gone down the steps.
Qingyang came to the edge of the stone wall of the cave and looked down. After confirming that there was no danger nearby, he restrained his breath a little, put on his clothes neatly, and then went down the steps next to him.
