Chapter 443 Octagonal Pagoda

The entire earth core cave was very humid, so these steps that had not been taken care of for a long time seemed sticky and slippery, with a full layer of moss growing on them, making it very troublesome to walk on. Sometimes you need to rely on the trees next to you to barely ensure that you will not slide to the bottom all of a sudden.

The climate here is very suitable for plant growth, and the spiritual energy is relatively sufficient. Qingyang climbed down the steps, and sometimes looked up at the mountain wall not far away, and found one or two spiritual herbs of low age, but it was too troublesome to collect them, and it would probably take a lot of time.

Since the people who passed by before did not specifically collect them, Qingyang was too lazy to spend that effort. Now he no longer cares about these low-year spiritual herbs.

In addition to these low-year spiritual herbs, you can occasionally see the corpses of some wild beasts or unclassified monsters on the road. Obviously, they were killed by the group of people led by Lingxu who came down before. Without the interference of these things, Qingyang saved a lot of effort.

A quarter of an hour later, Qingyang finally came to the bottom of the cave. At this time, he finally understood what Lan Yan and the others had said about the earth core tower. Because in the center of the bottom of this earth core cave, there is an octagonal pagoda built alone.

The entire earth core cave is hundreds of feet in radius, and there is only a pagoda in the middle, which is indeed very empty. The pagoda is about 20 to 30 feet in diameter and 50 feet high, with only five floors in total. Although it is very old, the whole building still looks like new. The door of the pagoda has been opened. It is estimated that Lingxu and Jiao Hong and others have already entered.

Looking at the pagoda in the center of the cave from a distance, Qingyang was about to move forward, and suddenly smelled a trace of blood. Qingyang hurriedly stopped, alerted his whole body, and released his mind.

At this time, he discovered that in the bushes not far ahead, there were actually two corpses of blood bats that had not entered the rank, but the surrounding weeds were too high, so Qingyang did not discover it in the first time. Going forward, there are more and more blood bat corpses. In addition to those that have not entered the rank, there are also many first-rank blood bats, and even several second-rank ones. Qingyang roughly counted them. There are at least hundreds of blood bat corpses on the ground.

Thinking back to the underground palace of the Tao family in Yongzhou, there was only one second-rank vampire bat with dozens of blood bats that have not entered the rank, which made Qingyang, Chen Biwang, Lu Feng and others exhausted and almost got into trouble several times. There are several second-rank ones here, with hundreds of blood bats, including many first-rank ones. How powerful is this strength?

And this is only one that was killed, and I don’t know how many escaped. It’s terrifying to think about it. It is estimated that only a team with the strength of Master Lingxu can win under the siege of so many blood bats. Fortunately, they have dealt with them in advance. If Qingyang ran into so many blood bats head-on, I am afraid he would have no choice but to hide in the Drunken Immortal Gourd.

The bodies of the first- and second-level blood bats here have been processed. The valuable parts of their bodies have been cut off. There are also useful things on the remaining bodies, but the value is not too high. Qingyang was too lazy to collect the things that others didn't want. Not only was it bloody, but it also took up space.

Lingxu Gongzi's group came down yesterday, but they came early and encountered many things, such as the blood bats all over the ground, which must have delayed them for a lot of time before. This is why it is better to come early than to come early. Even though they came a day earlier, they haven't finished their work yet. If I hurry up, I might be able to get there before they succeed.

Thinking of this, Qingyang quickened his pace, ignored the blood bat bodies on the ground, and went straight to the door of the Earth Center Tower. Although the tower door was open, it was dark inside and nothing could be seen clearly. Qingyang tried to use his divine sense to probe inside, but found that his divine sense seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and could not probe in at all.

Qingyang couldn't help but hesitate again. He didn't know the situation and the details. If he rushed in rashly, what if he encountered danger? But then he thought again, Master Lingxu had been in for a long time, and Jiao Hong, Lan Yan and others seemed to have gone in directly. If there was a problem, they would encounter it first. What was there to be afraid of following behind? If he delayed any longer, they would come out.

Finally, Qingyang gritted his teeth and stepped directly into the tower gate. Others dared to go in, so why should he not dare? You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. The Earth Core Tower was too tempting for Qingyang. No matter how many dangers there were in it, he had to go in and try it out.

The moment he crossed the tower gate, Qingyang's eyes suddenly darkened, but after just a moment, they became bright again. It seemed to be a huge courtyard, surrounded by high walls, and the ground was paved with neat stone slabs, without a trace of debris and dust.

That's not right. From the outside, the entire tower is only about 20 to 30 feet in radius, and this courtyard is at least several hundred feet in radius. I clearly entered the tower, so how could I suddenly appear in this courtyard? Qingyang turned his head to see what was going on, but found that there was no tower gate at all. Just like the moment just now, he stepped from one world into another world.

Qingyang pondered that he might have entered a formation, and the tower gate was the portal of the formation. Of course, it is also possible that he was just an illusion, and all of this was fake. The trigger point was also the tower gate, so the inside and outside of the gate were completely two different worlds. Qingyang had little knowledge of this aspect, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Just when Qingyang was thinking whether this was a formation or an illusion, suddenly, three figures appeared in front of him. The man in the middle was thin and small, and his aura was restrained. He didn't look very strong. He crossed his arms and looked at Qingyang quietly without saying a word.

On both sides were two middle-aged men, tall and wearing golden armor. The man on the left held a Guandao, and the man on the right held a long spear. They were like two door gods, standing on the left and right of the thin man. Seeing Qingyang, the man on the left held his Guandao horizontally and shouted: "Hey, who are you? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the Earth Core Tower of the Blood Demon Sect?"

At the same time, the man on the right also raised his long spear and pointed the tip of the spear at Qingyang and said: "Those who trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the Earth Core Tower will die. Come and die!"

Then, without waiting for Qingyang to answer, the two men each held a weapon and rushed towards Qingyang aggressively. Judging from the aura they exude, the cultivation levels of both of them are at the sixth level of Qi Refining, which is much higher than Qingyang's fourth level of Qi Refining. When these two join forces, their strength is greatly increased. It is estimated that ordinary seventh-level Qi Refining cultivators are no match for them.
