C185 Surrounding stone lion (1/2)
As they entered Yuncheng, the thick ancient aura being emitted by the numerous buildings also caused Qin Shaojie and Wen Ya to reveal a little surprise on their faces.
The atmosphere here was actually thicker than when they were in the valley.
It was worthy of being called the core zone of the ancient ruins. If one could stay here and cultivate, the speed of their growth would far surpass the outside world's. It was no wonder that many forces could greatly enhance their strength after acquiring the ancient ruins. Putting aside the various treasures and treasures, just the Xuan Qi and ancient aura alone was enough to excite them.
”Looks like quite a number of us have entered this place. There are quite a few among us.”
Taking out the rune, and feeling the fluctuations from it, Wen Ya also let out a breath of relief. All the way from the valley, she had not felt any presence of her own party, causing her to be quite worried. However, the movement of the runes made Wen Ya feel a lot more relaxed. It seemed like many of their people were in Yuncheng.
However, Qin Shaojie was not in a hurry to specifically search for them. It was likely that many people were not very familiar with this place. Moreover, there was some information that needed to be spread out before it could be collected. As long as one was certain that one's own people were around and they were safe for the time being, it would be enough.
Traveling through the city, Qin Shaojie and Wen Ya also encountered many other youths. These youths all had excited expressions, but they also looked at each other with rather nervous and cautious expressions. After all, as long as they entered this place, they would understand everyone's purpose. Perhaps the treasures now were to search for them individually, but once they reached the end, it would be inevitable for them to fight over them.
It was almost impossible to have such a so-called life and death ally here. Everything depended on one's own abilities.
However, from the expressions of these people, Qin Shaojie had a feeling that someone must have found some treasures inside, because their nerves were beating really fast. In this kind of situation, only with treasures on their bodies would they be able to do it. It was a pity that his acting was a bit worse, and he immediately noticed it.
Traveling within Yuncheng, the area inside was much larger than he had imagined. The towering buildings were constantly blocking his view, making it difficult for anyone to see through their surroundings. Qin Shaojie also attempted to fly in the sky and gather everything he had under his watchful eye. However, when he truly leaped up, his expression suddenly changed, because he discovered that the moment he left the height of thirty meters above the ground, a large amount of profound energy within his body would be used up.
With Qin Shaojie's current condition, if he were to travel more than thirty meters on the ground, he would not be able to last for more than fifteen minutes. With the speed at which the profound energy was dissipating, it was no wonder that there were almost no warriors who were walking in the air. Presumably, everyone had the same thought in the beginning, but the consumption of this kind of profound energy was truly too worrying.
Although the profound energy in there was quite dense, it was mixed with an ancient aura. Ordinary people would need a long time to refine it. It was likely that all of the treasures in Yuncheng would have already been snatched away by someone.
”It seems that unless it's a last resort, I can't use Teng Fei's methods. This ancient ruin is truly a pleasant surprise. ”
Wen Ya's voice also became serious. From her point of view, all of this was something that had been arranged long ago in the ancient ruins. The reason was so that no one could easily enter it.
Qin Shaojie laughed at this. This may be a great constraint for others, but it may not be a bad thing for him.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Just at that moment, a series of rumbling sounds came from not too far away. The sounds were too obvious, as if the floor had collapsed.
As they looked at each other, Qin Shaojie and Wen Ya also shot towards the other party who had made that sound. There must be a lot of warriors that had appeared to have caused such a commotion, because in this kind of place, there was a high probability that there was a treasure.
The two of them were extremely fast as well, and within a few dozen breaths of time, they had neared the source of the sound. As they neared the source of the sound, they could also sense the unceasing profound energy fluctuations that came from within a seemingly very young residence. This kind of profound energy fluctuation was clearly due to the occurrence of a battle.
With a leap, the two of them climbed over the seemingly well-preserved manor's gate and appeared inside.
And at this time, the situation in front of the two of them made their hearts sink. They had guessed right, there was a fight happening inside.
However, the opponent in front of them was completely different from what they had imagined. There were more than a dozen practitioners standing here, and all of them were at the Three Spiritual Realms level. Moreover, the one leading them was even at the Spirit Lake Realm level, which meant that this force was already not weak. However, at this time, even the combined might of over a dozen martial artists was continuously being pushed back. Three corpses lay scattered on the ground.
These corpses were relatively intact, and blood kept seeping out from the corners of their mouths. It was obvious that they had just died. However, the chests of these people all caved in. It was obvious that they had been injured by gravity. Their ribs and internal organs had probably completely shattered.
”It's actually a stone lion? ”Too tyrannical!”
Wen Ya had seen many strange things, but the scene before her eyes made her take a deep breath. These people were not attacking the humans or beasts, but rather, an ordinary-looking stone lion. However, this stone lion was much taller than the rest of the world. It was 20 feet tall and 30 feet long, making it seem much more mighty than an ordinary person. This situation was like a small moving hill. The weight alone was enough to deter them from acting rashly.
The profound strength of more than ten martial practitioners continuously fluctuated out of their bodies, landing ruthlessly on the body of the stone lion. Every time their profound strengths fell, they would leave scars of varying depth on his body. If it were any other living creature, they would have perished under these powerful attacks. However, the stone lions didn't have any life force left and couldn't feel any pain. This made these people feel quite helpless.
Furthermore, this stone lion was forged out of unknown materials, and was extremely sturdy. Wen Ya had clearly seen that the full force of the Spirit Lake Realm had only left a palm sized scar on the stone lion's body, if she really wanted to kill it, it would not be an easy task.
