Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 596: Stealth in the Black Sand

With one stomp of the foot, the vibrating magic power surged, pulling in the five elements of earth energy, and rushed towards the caves and spider-web-like underground tubular passages under the ground like a surge.

Logically speaking, an impact of this force would definitely destroy all these channels, and it would not be surprising if it even caused a ground subsidence within a certain range.

But in reality, nothing happened.

The surge of mana that could even stir up waves on the ground was completely useless underground. It was completely unable to cause any damage to the cave passages. At least that was the case in Yang Qian's mind.

This is not right!

Yang Qian tried to stir his mind and stomped his feet a few times. With the help of the surging magic power, he finally realized that something was wrong.

What the divine mind "sees" is not real, but an illusion of projection.

It's like an illusion or a trick.

However, the technique was so sophisticated that even with Yang Qian's divine consciousness and eyesight, he was unable to detect the problem at the first sight.

“Moreover, the five elements of earth energy below are extremely dense, as if they have been compressed by great magic power. The earth and rock surges I stirred up could not form effective destructive force underground.

But where is this power?"

Problems don't just appear for no reason; if they do appear there must be a reason for it.

Only by finding the cause can we find a solution to the problem.

Yang Qian repeatedly explored outside the cave, but still found nothing. So he thought of going down to have a look, but he found that he couldn't get in!

Not only did Yang Qian's relatively crude earth escape technique not work, but even his thunder escape technique, which had always been successful, failed here.

And it wasn't just around the cave entrance, Yang Qian also tried it around the top of the mountain and found that it was the same everywhere.

The whole mountain was locked by some force.

"Is there something imprisoned in here?" Yang Qian couldn't help but think to himself. It felt a little weird.

But when Yang Qian's divine sense swept across the entire mountain, he still did not find anything strange.

There were no traces of magic arrays, no fluctuations of magic weapons, and even no traces of any human activity. The only unusual thing was that there were not many animals on such a mountain. Basically, there were no animals, and at most, there were only flying insects and birds.

In addition, the yin and yang energies on this mountain are not right. It is daytime now, so the yang energy should be strong and the yin energy should be weak, but here the yin and yang energies are very balanced, as if they are not affected by the alternation of day and night at all.

"It seems that I have to go in." Yang Qian became more and more curious, but at the same time he had no good idea about this mountain full of strange things.

You can't just cut the mountain with a knife, right? What if you destroy the things inside? Wouldn't that mean the exploration would be meaningless?
Yang Qian asked Ma Yuan to go down the mountain first and find a place to wait for him at the foot of the mountain, and then he stepped into the cave alone.

As soon as he entered, Yang Qian felt like he was being watched, as if something was lurking in the dark.

It's getting more and more interesting. What is hidden here? A man-eating cave. Could it be that some evil spirit or demon cultivator is imprisoned here? Yang Qian thought.

He continued to walk along the cave, but after a few steps he found that he seemed to be stepping on a layer of illusion.

His feet felt empty and his body swayed a few times. Although it was dark in front of his eyes, it did not affect Yang Qian's vision. However, what he saw with his eyes was completely different from what he actually stepped on.

What you see is the structure of a soil and rock cave, but what you feel when you step on it is sand?

I bent down and grabbed a handful, and it was indeed sand, but it was not the ordinary yellow sand or gray river sand, but black gravel.

After stepping on the gravel, Yang Qian finally discovered the reason why this place was so hidden that no clues could be found from the outside.

"How can these gravels flow in these lava tubes like blood, and follow the veins of the magic array, collide with each other, and squeeze each other? How is this possible?"

Using the power of the earth and the blessing of the five elements, everything is finally hidden in the sand. As it flows, it naturally creates a force that pushes it inward, creating an eye-catching effect similar to a natural magic circle.

Yang Qian couldn't see through the tricks at a glance, and with his current master's vision, he felt that the reason why this place was so bizarre was definitely not something that could be done by a simple magic array. There must be some other means at work.

But the problem is, there is only sand underneath, and Yang Qian is blocked if he wants to continue exploring. How can he solve this problem?
Yang Qian thought about it, and a strange light flashed on his hand. Then he cut a small piece of space including himself and folded it up, forming a very narrow and long special existence in the normal space. Then he used it as a needle and plunged into the black sand.

After trying it a few times and adjusting it a few times, Yang Qian found that this method was quite useful. So he held the Ni Ming Knife in one hand and pinched the seal with the other hand, while stimulating the knife intent to attach it to the surface of the space needle shuttle he was tossing, and began to slowly move through the sand.

Yang Qian always had a feeling that this place would not be so simple, and his guard was always at its highest level.

Soon, the sand began to move as Yang Qian had expected.

As if it had sensed an intruder, it began to squeeze the space shuttle where Yang Qian was hiding. The squeezing force was incredibly strong, and it squeezed out all the five elements of energy around it. No wonder Yang Qian's earthy magic power that was used to stamp his feet before was completely unable to do anything to the cave passage here. With such a strong squeezing force, the five elements couldn't get close, so how could it cause effective damage?
Although the pressure was great at this moment, it was not enough to make Yang Qian nervous.

Yang Qian had already mastered the art of folding space. The greater the pressure, the smaller the space where he was hiding became.

The smaller the space needle shuttle, the smaller the area of ​​effort, and the less pressure Yang Qian needs to withstand inside the needle shuttle.

In addition, with the sword intent attached to it, this kind of rule power is still invincible in the black sand, and it can clear a way forward like a drill.

But just as Yang Qian thought, the tricks involved would never be so easy.

Yang Qian walked through the cave for less than a cup of tea, and the black sand that wrapped around him realized that it seemed to have no way to deal with Yang Qian. So it stopped squeezing him and started to spin around Yang Qian at high speed.

"This is...something!" Yang Qian's face was a little serious. You know, there is sand all around, and it starts to spin while squeezing, isn't this grinding? Is it going to grind him and the space shuttle into powder?
Yang Qian's mind moved, and a golden light appeared in his hand. Then, something that looked like a leaf emerged and clung to the surface of the space shuttle like a sword.

After that, no matter how the surrounding sand squeezed and rubbed, it could no longer touch Yang Qian.

"This blinding leaf is so useful!" Yang Qian was also a little surprised. This was the first time he used this semi-immortal weapon after refining it. The effect was surprisingly good.
