Chapter 432 A Suitable Underground Palace for Sealing
Led by Xu Ning and Yaksha, the group moved forward quickly.
Xu Ning even seemed somewhat idle. He switched his wind elemental body to a rock elemental body halfway through and blocked the three circular passages.
As he approached the city's entrance, Xu Ning recalled how the dark monsters had turned and entered the underground river last time because they feared the power of the pool in the Eight Gates Hall.
"Brother Boyang, please set up a defensive line here first, and I'll block the passage over the underground river."
Xu Ning gave Bo Yang a few instructions, then walked directly to the riverbed of the underground river. Relying on his rock elemental body, he used the rock walls to create rocks, completely enclosing the end of the underground river, leaving only a small outlet that monsters could not enter or exit.
"A wave of the hand can create a mountain. Brother Xu Ning, you shouldn't be someone with no reputation at all. Are all capable people like this?"
Bo Yang held the instrument panel and looked at the powerful rock elemental ability released by Xu Ning, and couldn't help but sigh a few times.
Xu Ning laughed and said, "It's normal that I'm not famous because I only know how to use some simple elemental transformations. As long as this side is blocked, those demons will have to pass through the underground palace over there no matter how unwilling they are. If that happens, our battle should become easier and easier."
Then, as Xu Ning and the others followed the mountain path, the soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army also sensed it.
The monsters coming from this side were clearly drunk, staggering and their attacks were much weaker.
"Brother Xu Ning, you were right! Did you give those demons some alcohol? How did they all turn into this state?"
Xu Ning laughed, but didn't explain much to the crowd.
The group quickened their pace again.
Then they began to reorganize and rest in the octagonal hall.
"From the cave entrance to this position, the Thousand Rock Army and the sorcerers have not lost a single member so far. This is a result that I never imagined."
Liaoyuan stood there for a while, looking up at the fountain, then turned to Xu Ning, who was sitting on the ground, and thanked him, saying, "If it weren't for you being here near this Rock Abyss, I can't imagine how many people would be left in my team."
Bo Yang reached out and tapped on the Taiwei Instrument Plate, casually adding, "Even if there's only one person left, we still have to do what we need to do. But we really have to thank Brother Xu Ning and that Yaksha brother who went out."
Xu Ning waved his hand, "Let's skip the polite words. Brother Boyang, are you adjusting the power of this thing by pressing and adjusting it over there?"
Bo Yang laughed and said, "No, I'm using the characters on this to record what happened today. Otherwise, if future generations want to come here to explore, they can at least know what happened today through the instrument."
As the group was chatting, the burly Yaksha man who had gone out to scout the way returned.
“Xu Ning, there’s another location ahead, which seems to have a more profound impact on monsters than this one.”
Upon hearing the burly man's words, Xu Ning quickly asked, "Where is it?"
"There's a big pillar on the way the monsters are coming, and it seems like the monsters are coming out from under that pillar. I think we can completely seal them off there."
A big pillar?
Xu Ning was stunned for a moment before he remembered that it was the sky nail that had fallen from the sky. It turned out that after traveling such a long way, he had finally returned to the starting point.
Although many of the people here were exhausted, they perked up when they heard the news that the monsters could be sealed off once and for all.
The monstrous Yaksha led the group down into the cave again, eventually bringing them to a doorway.
Liaoyuan laughed and said, "First there was an upside-down castle, and now there's an underground palace with strange entrances. If we hadn't come down here with everyone, we would never have known that so many amazing places were hidden right under our feet."
When the Thousand Rock soldiers charged in with their guns, they did indeed feel that the monsters that emerged from this underground palace were actually quite weak.
Bo Yang observed carefully for a while and said, "It's good that we came down here. Although we don't know why yet, these monsters were weak for a while after they appeared here, and the distance of the entire underground area was just enough to help them recover their strength. When they reached the surface, they were back to their strongest state."
“If it takes ten minutes and a lot of effort to fight them outside, it only takes two minutes here.”
After bravely fighting their way through the winding underground river, a light finally appeared at the end of the tunnel.
Just as the Yaksha giant said, there was indeed a large, luminous blue pillar floating in mid-air, but it looked quite broken. It was covered with countless luminous blue cubes that slowly rose from the base to the top of the pillar before disappearing.
"This pillar stands right here..."
Bo Yang looked around and then said with some certainty, "If we connect the deep pits we just jumped over into a line, we can deduce that it was this pillar that fell from the sky and pierced through the entire layered rock abyss."
Liaoyuan asked in surprise, "So, this thing fell from the sky? Is it a creation of the gods? No wonder it can weaken these monsters so powerfully! But it's also our luck that those monsters just happened to emerge from this spot..."
Xu Ning asked Bo Yang, "Should we set up the seal below this pillar?"
Boyang nodded. “There is no more suitable place than here. However, before setting up a barrier at this location, we should advance a little further down. We sorcerers all have some tricks up our sleeves. We should set up some illusion arrays to minimize the stamina of those demons. Even if they can break through to this location, they won’t be able to break through the suppression of the Taiwei Instrument Plate.”
When everyone heard Boyang say that the last stop was just ahead, they were all excited.
Since the monsters weren't actually that powerful a threat, everyone killed them without hesitation.
Xu Ning and the Yaksha giant stood at the front of the procession again. Their main task was to protect Bo Yang and the sorcerers, watching them set off various flags and gates along the way and carve incomprehensible runes on the rock walls.
As they moved, the surrounding environment seemed to be changing little by little. Although Xu Ning and Qian Yanjun and the others sensed that something was wrong, they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.
Bo Yang laughed smugly, "This is the mystery of the illusion array. Don't be fooled by the fact that you've come this far with us. Without our guidance, you would never have been able to return to where you came from."
Bo Yang showed Xu Ning a portal in front of him, "This is an illusion array I set up myself, my proudest work. Push it open and see, I guarantee it will give you a shock, haha!"
