"Where did this thief go?"
In order not to disturb Sun Haiwei, who was in retreat, Shang Xia specially summoned Thunderbirds far away from the vitality stone pit.
However, after he whistled one after another, he never received a response, which made the bad feeling in Shang Xia's heart become more and more intense.
After the baptism of the thundercloud storm, the rank of the Thunderbird should have crossed the threshold of the third order in Shang Xia's opinion.
At the speed of the Thunderbird, once it sensed danger and escaped with all its might, it was the existence of the Fourth Heaven, and it may not be able to threaten its safety.
"In this way, Thunderbird should most likely not be a threat encountered, but something accidentally discovered and quietly followed."
Shang Xia's thoughts were churning in his heart, "I just don't know when this thief bird left, and I was careless, when the three-order walking corpse appeared before, the thunderbird neither gave advance warning nor helped, so I should have thought of it. Otherwise, with the help of thunderbirds, this battle would not have been so difficult, and Sun Haiwei would not have been seriously injured and forced to retreat in this wild place."
While thinking about what the Thunderbird might find, Shang Xia became more and more careful to hide his figure, and at the same time increased the scope of his patrol.
Without the Thunderbird on guard in the sky, Shang Xia could only confirm the safety of the surrounding area as much as possible.
After most of the circle centered on the vitality stone pit, everything was normal, it seemed that after the beast 'tide', the entire battlefield of the two realms became a lot calmer.
This made Shang Xia's heart feel a lot more relaxed, and when his eyes looked around casually, he suddenly saw a coral forest that was only a few miles away from this place.
Shang Xia was slightly startled in his heart, the thunderbird wouldn't have flown into the coral forest
According to Sun Haiwei, the coral forest itself is a large 'labyrinthine' palace formed by natural formations.
If the Thunderbird mistakenly entered it, he would naturally not be able to hear Shang Xia's call.
But the problem is that Shang Xia is still unclear whether the Thunderbird entered by mistake or other reasons.
Also, the coral forest is said to be forbidden to the sky, even if the masters of the four heavens enter, they have to leave their bodies and walk on foot.
However, according to this case, the Thunderbird should not approach the coral forest at all.
Unless, the so-called "forbidden air" only forbids beings who rely on their own cultivation to fly, not birds that are born to fly.
Aside from the strangeness of the sudden disappearance of the Thunderbird, what made Shang Xia wonder was how the third-order walking corpse appeared.
Although the coral forest was close at hand, how could a third-order earth walking corpse appear here?
And for a long time before that, there was no sign of living corpses in the coral forest.
This news was only heard shortly after he entered the two realms of war, and it was because of this news that Liu Jitang may have secretly emptied most of Tongyou Peak's guardian power and entered the coral forest.
Shang Xia looked back at the coral forest several miles away again, the third-order earth walking corpse was definitely a member of the Zhu family during his lifetime, and something must have happened in the coral forest now.
It's a pity that I can't go in and find out.
Sun Haiwei temporarily retreated here to recover from her injuries, and he could only stay here temporarily and wait for her to leave the customs.
Shang Xia circled around the vitality ore pit, but came back with a belly full of worries.
But just as he walked to the edge of the mine, the person suddenly stopped in place, looking at the mine with a solemn gaze.
There was originally a puddle below, and Shang Xia and Sun Haiwei had fallen into the puddle one after another.
But now, the water in the pool is gone, revealing the bottom of a puddle of silt below
Where did the pool water go?
Shang Xia first looked around with a vigilant expression, and after seeing that he found nothing, he quickly jumped to the grotto where Sun Haiwei was retreating, and found that the portal he blocked there showed no signs of being moved.
Shang Xia quietly stayed outside the grotto for a moment, and could vaguely sense the signs of the vitality slowly flowing towards the inside of the grotto, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At that time, after the two came to the vitality stone mine, they were suddenly attacked by the walking corpses of the third order, and they didn't have time to think about many things.
Looking back now, I feel that there are doubts everywhere.
This vitality stone pit is used to mine vitality stone, how can there be water at the bottom of the pit
Even if it is because of rain, it will not accumulate into such a large puddle.
Even if it was because of the changes in the terrain and topography, the bottom of the Yuanqi Stone Mine was connected to the underground water veins, but what was the reason for the disappearance of this pool of water?
Could it be that this water could not flow back?
Shang Xia came to the bottom of the mine with doubts, ignoring the silt below to explore little by little.
He quickly came to the center of the bottom of the mine, which was the place where the academy left the coordinate ban.
It was because of the loss of the coordinate prohibition here that the academy lost the specific location of this mine after the beast 'tide'.
I originally thought it was caused by the destruction of the beast 'tide' after crossing the border, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
Shang Xia brushed off the silt under his feet and 'exposed' the cracked stone slab below, which was carved with many forbidden lines, and many vitality stones inlaid on it had failed.
Shang Xia followed the largest crack and opened the silt all the way to trace it, and soon found a hole in the ground under a thin layer of silt, which was enough for one person to enter and exit.
The quirk might be here
Shang Xia sighed secretly, although the walls around this cave had been eroded by the current, Shang Xia could still see that the cave was not naturally formed, but had just been opened, and the person who opened it was none other than the third-order earth walking corpse
So, where does this cave lead?
Shang Xia's face flashed with a hint of hesitation, he looked back at the grotto where Sun Haiwei was retreating, and then jumped down from this cave.
The third-order earth walking corpse was indeed extraordinary, not only able to open up a passage underground, but also to compact and widen the soil on the surrounding walls, making this hole look more like a deep well.
Shang Xia had bottomed out only three feet down the hole, but what appeared in front of him was an underground passage that was obviously artificially carved out
It's just that this passage seems to be unfinished, and it happened to be opened here, and behind Shang Xia was a hard earth and stone wall.
Shang Xia originally thought it would be an underground river, he squatted down and "touched" the remaining running water on the ground, and then looked at the walls opened on both sides and the arched passage, and knew in his heart that the walking corpse on the ground did not have such skills
This is obviously an underground passage that has been artificially carved out, and I don't know how many years it has existed.
The third-order earth walking corpse may have walked to the end along this passage, and after discovering that this road was impassable, he directly opened a hole above his head and went out.
Without saying a word, Shang Xia pulled out the Jade River Sword from his waist and walked forward along this passage.
However, Shang Xia obviously underestimated the distance of this passage, and walked out of the fear of not being able to do it in this breath, but he still never came to the end.
The underground passage was difficult to distinguish the direction, and this passage was not straight, Shang Xia didn't know his approximate direction for a while, but he had a hunch in his heart that he was afraid that he was going to the coral forest now.
It's just that Shang Xia was strange in his heart, could it be that this coral forest could still be in and out of the ground
If it was really that simple, he wouldn't have thought of it if he didn't believe others.
There must be something weird
Shang Xia muttered in his heart, but suddenly found that there was a faint flicker of light on the wall in front of him.
Shang Xia was vigilant in his heart and slowly approached the past, only to see a colorful curtain of light flashing at the end of the passage.
