Chapter 270 The old man is in trouble again

"Quick, rush out!"

Xu Yuanchang suddenly reacted and urged the avatar carrying him to fly towards the exit above.

With a slight "click" sound, the entrance of the ten-foot-wide cave closed. Xu Yuanchang almost bumped into the dark rock. He was so angry that he stabbed upwards three times with the wooden spike in his hand.

The rock was like tofu, and the wooden thorns could easily pierce it, leaving deep holes and pieces of gravel.

Xu Yuanchang remembered that the rock blocking the entrance of the cave was about two meters thick. He used wooden spikes made of seventh-level material as tools, and after some effort and time, he dug through the rock bit by bit, and then escaped. The guy who was making trouble in secret couldn't trap him, and he felt at ease.

"Lao Li, are there any remnants of an ancient formation inside the rock that seals the cave entrance?"

"Of course there is. Those old guys used the infiltration magic to set up the formation. The magic power seeped into the rocks, causing the mud and stone to change. The toughness is comparable to that of third-level materials. The remaining strands of magic power formed a natural formation that fits the roots and topography of the ground, and it can be independent everywhere. It's a very clever method."

Rabbit looked at the several God Burial Bugs that exploded like popping beans on the Creation Divine Platform. The disgusting black liquid was bubbling and became more viscous as it was refined. The black and red empty shells were slowly showing signs of melting. He continued, "It's been a long time. Be careful when you ask your incarnation to dig. Some of the remnants of the formation can fight back quite strongly."

Xu Yuanchang immediately gave up the idea of ​​digging on his own.

It is natural that any hard, tiring, or dangerous work should be shared by the incarnation.

With him around, the incarnation is almost impossible to die.

Unless he lets his incarnation die in his place.

He is a person who has a comprehensive grasp of big things and does not need to waste time on small things himself.

He took the corpse of the God Burial Bug that was stuck on the wooden thorns to the Creation Altar and said:
"There may be some Yin Gods hiding in the depths of the Chaos God Tomb who have not been exposed, or some powerful fellow who has the ability to fight against the Silent God's corrosive energy, raising so many Burial God Insects... Old Li, do you think it is possible that the West Plains Holy Land did it? That's not right. If the Burial God Insects were raised on a certain mountain in the West Plains Holy Land, how could the Yin God named 'Ya' have been so arrogant and committed evil for so many years?"

He ordered his two incarnations to dig upwards, while he himself hid far away below.

"Nothing is impossible. Xiyuan Monster Hunting Mountain violates taboos and cultivates half-demon monsters. You have personally come into contact with them."

Rabbit despised Xu's foolish behavior of defending humans. He didn't dwell on it too much and changed the subject, saying, "But these God Burial Insects are indeed not cultivated by Xiyuan Holy Land. I just extracted a trace of divine power from the body of a living God Burial Insect. There is a residual god hidden in the Chaos God Tomb, or a stubborn Yin God, not a human."

As he was speaking, a crackling sound was heard from above.

The two excavated avatars touched the remnants of a formation deep in the rock. They were struck by a burst of faint blue electric light, causing them to smoke, twist and tremble all over. After a few breaths, they fell down one after another with their bodies charred.

A black shadow passed by and caught the two avatars that were about to fall into the mud and filth below.

Xu Yuanchang felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the miserable incarnation. If he were to be hit by the same attack, he would probably be roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, with a meaty aroma. It hurt just looking at it.

With a wave of his hand, he placed the incarnation on the altar of creation. Colorful light washed over it, eliminating the electric light that was still running wildly inside the incarnation.

He placed the avatar elsewhere and took out two fist-sized third-level materials from his treasure house.

In just a moment, the material was refined into liquid metal.

Xu Yuanchang extracted the essence of energy from "refining the real and transforming the virtual" and replenished it to the incarnation. Although it was a bit wasteful, it was able to restore the incarnation's strength at the fastest speed.

Throw the remaining liquid ingredients to the hungry rabbit.

The rabbit is like a trash can that is never full. It will eat anything as long as it has been refined by the God of Creation.

The repaired incarnation reappeared with the wooden spike in his hand, and following his master's instructions, he dug farther away from the spot where he had just been cheated. Every failure is a learning experience, and Xu Yuanchang would not allow the incarnation, which had not yet developed intelligence, to jump into the same pit repeatedly.

His materials are not blown by the wind, they are used when needed.

The rabbit swallowed the ingredients with a look of disgust on his face.

There are too few useful parts in the garbage materials, not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth.

"The God Burial Bugs eat various God bodies and materials for years and months, and need to survive for at least five hundred years before they can grow into a fist-sized body. They grow slowly, and their shells are very strong. If you use the Creation Divine Platform to refine them, you can get very perfect materials, including God Condensation Stone, God Shining Gold and other natural treasures. There are only forty shells, which is too few. I will get a few hundred more when I go out."

Xu Yuanchang watched the insect's shell slowly melt and estimated the time required to completely refine it.

What he was thinking about was that after getting out of the underground palace, he would quickly leave the Tomb of Chaos Gods and then report what happened to the Monster Catching Mountain.

Rabbit was so greedy that he wanted to catch all the insects inside and refine them. He didn't agree and asked, "The black liquid flowing out of the God Burial Insect looks extremely poisonous."

"The Burial God Worm is a special corpse worm. For a worm this big, the mixture of its blood and the liquid in its stomach can corrupt fourth-tier treasures. After being refined on the Creation Divine Platform and removing the corrosive toxicity, it will become a holy product for physical cultivation to temper the body. For your apprentice who has reached the late second-tier cultivation, it can be diluted and used for bathing. It can strengthen the skin membrane, tendons and bones, achieving twice the result with half the effort."

The rabbit had been with Xu for a long time and knew that this boy was a donkey. He would not move forward even if he was led, and he would go backwards. He said:

"This thing called 'Bone Erosion Liquid' is also very useful for you at this critical stage where you need to break through. The amount of mana a cultivator can hold is determined not only by long-term practice and accumulation, but also by using secret methods to expand the meridians and Qi Palace. It can also strengthen the body and strengthen the container, so that it can naturally hold more mana."

Xu Yuanchang agrees with this view.

The weak point of a monk is his body. If he can make up for it, he can indeed get an all-round improvement.

The breakthrough is often just a little bit away, and the rabbit grasped his pain point.

Xu Yuanchang's eyes were fixed upwards. The two incarnations were invisible bodies. They instinctively dug out a hole about a foot in size. They were no longer reckless and rushed. Instead, they divided the work and cooperated to observe and carefully excavate and correct the hole, trying their best to find gaps and avoid touching the remaining formation in the rock.

Xu Yuanchang selected two half-foot long wooden spikes from the space and asked the incarnation following him to deliver them.

He was thinking that since the wooden thorn material was so easy to use, he would need to spend some time polishing it into a wooden hairpin and insert it into his hair bun for later use.

It took about seven or eight hours for the two incarnations to take turns digging. They were hit by the remaining fire, ice explosions, lightning strikes and other attacks in the rock for more than ten times. Finally, they dug a narrow hole that twisted upwards.

Xu Yuanchang only lost more than ten pieces of third-level materials.

The two incarnations emerged from the underground palace like green smoke and started to kill the strange insects surrounding outside.

The strange insect left behind another thirty or forty corpses, flapped its wings and flew away into the darkness. The incarnation followed Xu Yuanchang's instructions and stomped on six stones of different colors. When the order was right, there was a loud "click" and the entrance to the underground palace opened again.

Xu Yuanchang flew out of the underground palace, put the two corpses of the burial god insects killed by his incarnation on the altar of creation, and returned along the same route without hesitation.

He was eager to leave this place of trouble and didn't want to provoke the guy hiding in the dark.

He had already refined a small bottle of bone-eroding liquid and a fist-sized ball of metallic liquid, and after sharing the spoils with the rabbit in a 70% split, he extracted the invisible essence of precious materials such as the Divine Condensing Stone and Divine Shining Gold, and refined them into the phantom armor.

The remaining scraps are cheap for the rabbits.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave. It's a rare trip for you. Or you can take another fork to return and collect a few more Separation Fruits. The guy who hid himself didn't dare to face your Creation Light, and the Burial God Insect he sent was restrained by your wooden thorns. As long as he doesn't go deep into the Chaos God Tomb, why should you be afraid of him?"

The rabbit looked at the new harvest on the altar. He knew very well that Xu was a cautious and prudent person, so he used his eloquence to try his best to persuade him.

In order to find clues, he deliberately turned the lying Yin Shen over and tortured him severely.

Unfortunately, the Yin God was a big-breasted and brainless person, and he didn't notice any clues. Xu Yuanchang's eyes shone in the darkness. He carefully scanned the pillars, the ground, and the air, worried that the hidden things had arranged other means to deal with him. He said perfunctorily, "Come back next time. This time, I'll go and deliver the mission first. I have other urgent things to do."

"Bullshit, you are just afraid of death. How can a cultivator like me retreat when we encounter a setback?"

The rabbit can't be provoked, it's rare for him to pay attention.

Xu Yuanchang dismissed him casually: "Lao Li, you are not a cultivator, you are a monster, don't talk to me about 'frustration' and 'retreat', we are not the same kind, you don't understand the thinking of humans."

The rabbit was so angry that he rolled his eyes. How could he meet such a stubborn coward?

No, this guy is very courageous sometimes.

For example, when facing the giant three-legged turtle, he was able to hold his ground and not be afraid, which is something very few cultivators can do.

"Don't you always say, 'Listen to others' advice and you'll have a full meal'? Why can't you listen to my advice?"

"I can tell the difference between advice with bad intentions. There is also an old saying that goes, 'Only when there is no greed in your heart can you live in peace.' Lao Li, you still have a lot to learn."

Xu Yuanchang made a joke.

However, the next moment, the stone pillars of the entire underground hall suddenly flickered.

A gray light surged from the sky and the ground. The huge squeezing force trapped Xu Yuanchang and made him unable to move. He barely took back the incarnations in front of and behind him, and brilliant golden light burst out from his body, trying to break the sudden plan.

The light flickered and dimmed, and the underground hall was empty.

The stone pillars cracked one by one with a "crackling" sound, broke and collapsed one after another, and the ground collapsed with a rumble.

The huge noise caused the mountain to shake and a dull echo was heard, which could be heard far away in the Tomb of Chaos Gods.

Tang Yijian and Taishu Zhuyue were searching slowly in the passage with swords in hand. When they heard the noise, they stopped and listened for a while. They couldn't guess what could cause such a horrible noise?
"It happened in the lower area, at least ten miles away from here. Shall we continue on?"

"continue!"

The two of them exchanged brief words and explored the way more cautiously.

As sword cultivators, they have their own ways to detect whether there are any remnants of formations along the way.

Tang Yijian's sword puppet walked in front, and a trace of sword energy was moving three feet ahead on the ground. After triggering the remaining formation, it was handed over to Taishu Zhuyue to use the sword heart to spy on the real range, and then use the sword throwing technique to step on the sword and fly over. Everyone had their own methods, and they were not going to go down.

There are dozens of caves near Qingyou Gate, enough for them to search.

They would never have dreamed that the commotion below was caused by Fellow Daoist Xu.

……

When Xu Yuanchang appeared again, his eyes widened with shock, and he suspected that he had fallen into the Netherworld.

There was a huge ball of blue light in the sky, with light waves flowing violently and wisps of cold mist splashing out from time to time.

The biting north wind forced Xu Yuan to raise a dark green flame from his body, using the cold to fight the cold.

It’s too cold, enough to freeze a third-tier treasure.

There are ice cones of varying sizes piled up on the ground. Looking around, there is a sealed blue circular space.

"You were moved to the underground core of the Chaos God Tomb by that hidden guy using the God Tomb formation. That huge dark blue ball of light was made from the seventh-level Mysterious Ice Pearl. It is the center of the formation that suppresses the entire Chaos God Tomb. Even after thousands of years and a lot of energy consumption, it is still terrifying."

After listening to Xu Yuanchang's story, the rabbit scratched his head.

Xu Yuanchang asked calmly: "Can you guess the strength and origin of the guy who hid himself? How could he call upon the remnant array of the God's Tomb?"

"It's obvious. That guy is familiar with the Chaos God Tomb, can call upon the remaining formation, has divine power, and raises the God Burial Bug. He must be the god that was suppressed here back then, and he has been awakened for at least five hundred years. He's really troublesome."

The rabbit almost broke its long ears. The old guy was not easy to deal with.

He suddenly remembered something and shouted, "I know. It was the Mysterious Ice Pearl that absorbed the Yin Spirit and divine power and gave birth to a new spiritual intelligence. The Thousand-legged Mysterious Ice Worm was killed that year. I was watching the show from the side. That guy died completely. Fortunately, fortunately, the new guy is easier to fool than the old one."

Many doubts suddenly became clear, and the rabbit muttered something in his mouth.

Xu Yuanchang also breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no passage connecting this closed circular space to the outside, so it must be hidden. He secretly speculated that chanting the real name of the three-legged Ben turtle should be able to summon the Ben turtle and resolve the disaster?
But he was also worried about angering the hidden guy, so he took action to eliminate him ahead of time.

The rabbit suggested: "Use your ability to bring the dead back to life and have a good chat with that guy."

Fighting and killing is the worst option on someone else's territory, and the difference in strength is huge.

First figure out the other party's purpose, maybe there will be room for negotiation?

Xu Yuanchang clasped his fists towards the blue ball of light and said, "Excuse me, senior. I wonder what you want me to do in moving me here?"

He is good at negotiation, taking the initiative and not giving those who play tricks a chance to remain mysterious.

Don't stop until you say something shocking and arouse the other person's interest first.

The dark blue light ball waved with light, cold mist gushed out, and the wind howled. A surprised voice echoed in the midst of it: "Human boy, how did you guess that I was hiding in the Mysterious Ice Pearl?"

Xu Yuanchang said calmly and flatteringly: "Your ability to move me here is unfathomable. Apart from the orb, I really can't think of anything else that would allow you to stay here."

In order to resolve the conflict peacefully, what's wrong with him flattering someone against his conscience?

The voice laughed loudly, echoing in the space, and the sound of the wind became more violent. "You are smart, kid. Then guess why I brought you here?"

Xu Yuanchang thought for a moment and said, "I am a foolish junior, please enlighten me, senior!"

"It's not fun. You must have guessed it, but you didn't dare to say it out loud. I brought you here to take your life!"

The voice suddenly became cold and cruel, and said: "I can recognize the divine light of old man Yanshan even if it is burned to ashes. Tell me, boy, how do you want to die? I can help you!"

Xu Yuanchang was dumbfounded.

Of course he would choose not to die.

The rabbit was so angry that he jumped up and down: "It's that old man who caused the bad debt again!"
