Chapter 673 Bone Pit
After passing through numerous checkpoints, we finally saw the huge pit inside.
It's really big; it's full of skeletons, big and small, some human, some monsters.
Zhong Ran activated her chaotic energy to go inside and sense it, and surprisingly found some spatial rings inside?
With a slight movement of her divine sense, she urged the chaotic energy to penetrate deeper and dig out anything still useful.
There were still quite a few weapons, spatial rings, and other items.
That is, each and every one of them was shrouded in a thick aura of death and resentment.
She gathered the items together and drew a purification talisman in the air, purifying the death energy and resentment on them.
Although it could be burned, her current fire is too powerful; once burned, nothing would remain.
"I never expected to find so many things here."
These weapons aren't very advanced, not as good as those obtained from ancient battlefields.
But there are also many rare and wonderful things.
"That's good. If we take it out and give it to Qian Duoduo, we can get quite a few spirit stones in return."
So, after being here for so long, is this all I've gotten?
Oh, no, that's not right either. I also got a drop of Mo Feng's blood.
"There's no trace of Xiao Yan here either, so he obviously didn't come in."
Zhong Ran frowned: "Let's try to find a passage to the underworld; maybe then we can find him."
She led him around the bone pit, but Mu Jinning suddenly reached out and a suction force appeared in her hand.
Inside, a piece of golden animal bone flew up from a pile of bones.
“This is a piece of beast bone.” Mu Jinning took it and carefully sensed the aura on it: “It’s from a celestial beast that has already ascended to immortality.”
"A celestial beast? Died here?" Zhong Ran felt it was somewhat unlikely.
Mu Jinning said with certainty, "There is no other aura on it, nor any aura of being polished. It is just the bone arm of a celestial beast."
That makes sense. If a celestial beast had perished here, there would be no way there would only be this one piece.
The two continued walking along the bone pit, and this time, even Zhong Ran paid more attention to the bones.
Previously, she only cared about the spatial ring and weapons, but now that she knows there are different kinds of bones, she pays more attention to them.
However, there was only that one bone.
After going around in circles, they still couldn't find any so-called entrance or passage.
"Ranran, you cultivate here for a while and absorb all this death energy. I'll deal with the bones here."
Since there's nothing special about this, let's deal with it here.
Zhong Ran understood his meaning and immediately sat down cross-legged to begin cultivating.
The aura of death here is so strong that it should be enough for her to advance one or two small steps in her cultivation.
But she forgot that she wasn't cultivating alone; she also had the little purple-gold dragon with her.
Half of the refined spiritual energy was devoured by the little purple-gold dragon; the rest was hers.
The deathly aura here was quickly devoured, and even though the deathly aura in the bone pit was still rising, it could no longer form mist.
The surrounding area was clear and bright, which made the bone pit look more obvious and even more frightening.
After Zhong Ran absorbed the surrounding death energy, Mu Jinning flicked out a flame that fell into the bone pit.
With a "whoosh," the entire bone pit was quickly engulfed in flames.
He also took out the bones they had picked up earlier in order to end the battle quickly and threw them in to burn together.
The fire blazed and the temperature rose, burning away the remaining deathly aura.
Zhong Ran slowly opened her eyes, quite unhappy that she had only just advanced to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
With such a dense aura of death, she thought she could at least reach the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
I overestimated myself.
"You've forgotten, you're supposed to cultivate with the little purple-gold dragon now."
Xiao Ding's voice finally came through.
Hearing its voice, Zhong Ran felt a sense of relief.
"Xiao Ding, are you alright? What happened earlier?"
Xiao Ding's voice was somewhat hesitant: "I don't know the specifics, but I feel that there is a special force binding and separating us, and we can't hear or sense anything."
"Even you don't know what kind of power it is?" It uses a special kind of power.
The little cauldron shook its head: "I don't know." It had never witnessed such power before.
Zhong Ran was too lazy to pursue the matter any further, since they had already been able to get in touch.
"Could you help me sense where Xiao Yan is?"
The small cauldron flew out, enlarged above her head, and spun around, emanating layers of aura.
Then it withdrew its voice: "There's no trace of him here. He never came in at all."
"Could you find a passage or something?"
"What passage? There's no passage."
Zhong Ran was slightly startled and looked at Mu Jinning.
He happened to walk over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ding said he didn't find any passage.
Mu Jinning was silent for a while before saying, "Since there is no passage, let's go back. There might have been another path there before, and we got separated from Xiao Yan."
That's all there is now.
The problem has been solved, but Zhong Ran did not completely destroy the formation when she left.
She only disrupted the puppet array inside.
It wasn't her who destroyed it, but rather the Eye of Illusion that caused it.
This time, she discovered that when she activated the Eye of Illusion, golden light flashed in her sea of consciousness.
Unlike the golden light that emanated from the depths of the sea of consciousness before, this golden light emanated from the inner wall of the sea of consciousness.
She carefully examined the inner wall of her sea of consciousness and discovered that, at some point, some fine golden lines had appeared in her sea of consciousness.
These tiny golden lines are all individual strands, so fine that they are almost invisible unless you look closely.
These golden lines seem somewhat like runes, yet they are incomplete.
She couldn't yet see what the runes were for, but she felt they were definitely a good thing.
"Alright, it's all over now. The puppet formation inside has been broken. Even if there are still bones left, they shouldn't be controlled to attack cultivators anymore."
With one thing on her mind put at ease, Zhong Ran smiled more.
Although Zhong Yan's fate is still unknown, they all believe he will be alright.
Stepping out of the formation, the outside world was clear and bright, the thick gray fog from before was gone.
The entire valley came into their view.
The valley is large and deep, and you can continue walking inside.
They were located near the hillside on the right. The hillside looked very steep, but it wasn't impossible to climb.
On the opposite side, however, was a steep, very high mountain wall covered with gray vines, some of which were blooming with tiny flowers.
The distance in the middle is particularly wide; at least, the bone pit that was so big just now only occupies one-third of the space.
No other bones have been found in these areas so far; all that remains is the previous bone pit.
