The beam of light flashed and disappeared, the old man gasped for breath and flew to the young man. With his Golden Core cultivation level, this situation naturally meant he had consumed a lot of energy just now.
The hunchbacked old man wiped his face with one hand and tore off the bronze mask. A flash of blood-red light flickered on the bronze mask.
"Third Great-Uncle, how are you?"
The young man saw that the old man's face was pale and asked with concern.
"It's alright, this old man can still hold on." The old man gave the young man a smile and handed the Ghost Seal to the young man. "Keep this treasure safe."
The young man nodded, took it with both hands, and with a flash of Yin energy in his hand, he absorbed the Ghost Seal into his body.
"The entrance has already opened, and the duration won't be too long, let's go in quickly."
The old man looked at the sky, then led the young man and the white-clothed people, carrying the bronze coffin into the ice cave in the ice lake, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
As soon as these people left, the frozen lake water of Azure Moon Lake made a cracking sound of ice breaking, and turned back into water.
At this moment, a blue light flew from a distance, very fast, and at the last moment when the big hole in the center of the pool was about to disappear, it turned into a stream of light and plunged into it.
……
On the other hand, after Zhang Ling used the talisman treasure, he used the earth escape technique to find a way out in the surrounding soil and rocks, but to his dismay, the soil and rocks here were solid, which greatly affected his speed.
If he hadn't used the talisman treasure, ordinary earth escape talismans would not have been able to display their power at this moment.
In the soil and rocks, Zhang Ling was wrapped in a layer of yellow light, searching for a way out all the way up. Suddenly, the surrounding soil and rocks trembled, and he didn't know what was going on again.
His heart sank, and he quickly moved to the side by using the talisman treasure's earth escape technique. As his side emptied, he came to an underground cave.
Countless large and small stones fell from the top of his head, and the surrounding rock walls were collapsing. At the same time, he also heard a sound of splashing water.
"Not good!"
His expression changed drastically as soon as his divine sense swept over the area. He patted his storage bag, and several spiritual talismans were slapped on his body, forming several layers of defense.
Just after he finished doing this, a large amount of water appeared in front of him. In an instant, he was swept into it by the powerful water flow.
Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, Zhang Ling felt that the pressure around him had decreased by more than half. The water flow also weakened a lot.
With a flash of spiritual power on his body, he stood on the water. With a wave of his hand, he released a moonstone and looked around at the environment.
There were no traces of passages here anymore. He was in an underground river, and the space here was very large.
Suddenly, his divine sense moved and captured something.
Zhang Ling walked on the water, and soon came to one side of the underground river. Beside him were black and green rocks, and there were many glowing fluorites among them. Obviously, he was already very deep underground.
What he had just discovered was naturally not these environmental changes, but a corpse. A male corpse was lying on the ground a few feet away.
He recognized this person. It was the alien demon he had fought with not long ago. This person's body was tattered, his waist and abdomen were covered in blood, and his face still showed a look of horror.
Zhang Ling checked the corpse. The fatal wound was the huge wound on his waist and abdomen, which looked like it had been torn by some kind of monster.
He also felt some vigilance in his heart. Then, with a wave of his hand, he took the two storage bags from this person's body. After a simple check, there were not many things in them.
There were only a little over a thousand spirit stones and some sundries. Among them, he took a few more glances at the large bowl magic weapon that this person had used. As for the gray strange blade that this person had used, he didn't find it. He didn't know if it was lost.
After all, judging from this person's wounds, he had encountered some powerful monster that led to his death. The situation was unclear at the moment, and Zhang Ling didn't have the mind to look for a magic weapon.
Then, he removed the talisman treasure and put it back into his arms. He only had a layer of translucent water cover for defense.
Earlier in the water flow, he had consumed two layers of not-weak defensive shields. Although he used spiritual talismans, it also consumed some of his spiritual power.
He took out the elixir to restore spiritual power and took a few pills. While restoring the consumed spiritual power, he explored the surroundings.
……
Not long after, Zhang Ling walked two or three miles. This place was surprisingly large, and he didn't know where it led to.
Woo woo!
Suddenly, a strange cry came from above his head. Without thinking, his figure flashed and he arrived two feet away. The flying sword magic weapon in front of him flashed and turned into a stream of light, directly piercing something.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a monkey covered in green hair. The monkey's chest was pierced by his flying sword at this moment, but it still made a strange cry, baring its teeth at him, looking ferocious.
Zhang Ling's heart moved, and the spiritual light on the flying sword flickered, and the green-haired monkey was cut in half. At a glance, he judged that this was a first-order late-stage monster.
Then he carefully scanned this monster a few times, but he didn't recognize it. He asked himself that he had read a lot of monster illustrations, but this was the first time he had seen these green-haired monkeys, and he didn't know what kind of monsters they were.
Suddenly, he found a thumb-sized red crystal in the monkey's half-brain shell. With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ling brought the object to his eyes.
When this object flew to his eyes, a layer of gray gas suddenly appeared on it, instantly turning into a monkey phantom, rushing straight towards his face.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling was taken aback, but he didn't move, just a flash of spiritual power on his body, and a ray of light blade flew out, splitting the phantom in half with a flash.
Woo woo!
The monkey phantom blurred and disappeared into smoke. At the same time, the red crystal dimmed and turned gray-black.
Zhang Ling frowned, and carefully scanned the crystal several times with his divine sense. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he grabbed the object in his hand.
Under his induction, this object had a similar aura to some cold jade, but it seemed different. The demon soul of this monster could actually be hidden in it.
It seems that it is not an ordinary thing. Turning his head to look at the corpse of the monkey monster, Zhang Ling patted his storage bag and took out a jade box to carefully put away the crystal.
Then he grabbed another storage bag from his waist, and a black light wrapped a huge coffin, which fell heavily on the ground.
Creak! With a soft sound, the coffin lid opened, and a corpse bear with a height of ten feet walked out.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ling put the coffin back into the storage bag, and pointed at the corpse bear with one hand. A drop of blood flew from his finger and landed on the corpse bear's head.
Suddenly, the corpse bear's body trembled and took a few steps, then strode forward to clear the way, and Zhang Ling followed behind.
Not long after, he encountered several green-haired monkeys again, all of which were at the first-order monster level. Without him taking action, controlling the corpse bear solved them.
But there was a red crystal in the heads of these monkeys. If they were killed by ordinary means, their demon souls would be hidden in them, which was very strange.
He collected these crystals one by one, and would study them when he had time. As he continued to explore this place, he also found that a lot of Yin and cold air gathered here.
