Chapter 2179: Jade Scorpion Ancient Palace
Qin Sang looked down at the deep cave. It was bottomless and obscured by thick poisonous fog. His vision was dim and he could not see any trace of a palace.
The fluctuations of the battle were actually very slight, and were covered by the poisonous fog, but they were out of tune with the surrounding environment and could be easily distinguished.
Whether it was the internal strife within the Jie Gou Clan, or the ancient Bi Xie Palace being pierced by the rosy glow, attracting other people to scramble for the opportunity, it was a great opportunity for them.
They secretly guessed the identities of both parties and did not act rashly.
After waiting for a while, the battle did not end, but became more intense. It seemed that the two sides were evenly matched. For a while, neither could do anything to the other. Qin Sang decided to go in and take a look.
During this period, Qin Sang had a general understanding of the toxicity of the poisonous fog and thought of a way to deal with it.
He spread out his palms, with a wisp of poisonous mist in each palm. The poisonous mist condensed and turned into two small red snakes that swam in his hands, but they were confined to this small space and could not break free and leave.
Then, the two red snakes made a hissing sound, shook their heads and tails, and coiled their bodies into various shapes, some twisting and turning, and some forming complicated knots. The changes were very rapid, and hundreds of patterns were formed in an instant.
These patterns all have a unique charm that runs through the entire design. To the monks, they are strange runes.
Finally, Qin Sang clasped his palms together, and the two red snakes exploded in his hands, dispersing into a large ball of poisonous mist.
Qin Sang's whole body was covered in poisonous fog. This poisonous fog looked exactly the same as the poisonous fog outside, but it had been refined by Qin Sang using secret techniques and had undergone some changes.
Then the fog surged and spread outward spontaneously, condensing into a red air shield around Qin Sang.
"This is the Wanyuan Barrier. Fairy, come in too. The Wanyuan Barrier will help us block the poisonous fog outside..."
Qin Sang called Liuli to come over.
Wanyuanzhang is a superior secret technique recorded in the "Poison God Canon" that has the effect of warding off poison. However, Qin Sang had the poison bead before and had never been able to use it.
If you understand this secret technique, even if you encounter a strong poison you have never seen before, as long as you have a slight understanding of the toxicity of the unfamiliar poison, you can refine it into the Wanyuan Barrier and resist the poison with the same method.
It is said that all poisons in the world have different sources. If you practice this method, you will be able to incorporate all the poisons from different sources into one method.
A poison practitioner must understand all poisons in the world, and be able to apply what he or she learns when encountering an unfamiliar poison. In addition, he or she must use various secret techniques to assist in this, so it is very rare that he or she cannot comprehend even a trace of toxicity. Therefore, this secret technique is very practical.
The Wanyuan Barrier cannot completely isolate the poisonous fog outside, but it can resist some of the toxicity and make them feel more relaxed.
Liuli followed suit and stepped into the air shield. As expected, she felt much more relaxed. She nodded to Qin Sang, indicating that she was ready.
Qin Sang chanted a spell and the Wanyuan Barrier shook slightly. They completely merged with the poisonous fog and then jumped into the deep cave.
After entering the deep cave, they could immediately feel that the toxicity of the poisonous fog had become much more intense, but with the protection of the Wanyuan Barrier, the two remained calm.
They deliberately slowed down and moved slowly downwards, and the fluctuations of the fight became clearer.
I don’t know how deep I went, and I still can’t see the main hall, but Qin Sang has already determined the location of the battlefield.
After carefully moving a distance closer, Qin Sang activated his divine power of clairvoyance and finally saw the scene on the battlefield clearly.
Unexpectedly, there was only one person on each side of the fight.
One of them had a strange appearance, with a high bulge on the chest like a chicken breast, and a tail behind it. The tail was thin, long and flexible, which was very consistent with the image of the Jiegou people in the records.
According to historical records, the Jie Gou tribe also had a pair of short wings. Qin Sang looked at the man's back and saw a bulge under his wide robe. It was basically certain that this man was a cultivator from the Jie Gou tribe.
There were nine snake shadows behind this man, one of which was his tail, and the other eight were made of poisonous fog. The snake tails were all connected to the base of this man's tail.
Nine poisonous snakes spread out like a fan behind him, looking ferocious and vicious, staring at the enemy.
The other party was even more unexpected. He was a young man in a white robe with a fair face and a somewhat feminine temperament. The magic weapon he controlled was a double-eared black iron round tripod, which was only slightly larger than a fist. It kept spinning around the young man, and a wisp of white smoke rose from the mouth of the tripod, surrounding the white-robed young man and isolating him from the poisonous fog outside.
Qin Sang stared at the young man in white robe for a while and confirmed that he was actually a human cultivator!
"Hiss..."
A snake shadow danced behind the Jiegou tribe monk, making bursts of hissing sounds, and suddenly jumped out.
The poisonous snakes were extremely fast, and the nine snake shadows intertwined and changed constantly, instantly transforming into thousands of them, forming a dense snake web, making it impossible to tell which were real and which were fake.
His movement attracted Qin Sang's attention. As the snake shadows split, Qin Sang sensed another change hidden in the poisonous fog.
"Is this the restriction of the Jade Scorpion Ancient Palace?"
This thought flashed through Qin Sang's mind. The Jie Gou Clan was indeed the master of the Ancient Green Scorpion Palace and could borrow the power of the restrictions here.
However, where did the other monks of the Jiegou tribe go?
Although the Jie Gou Clan is not a high-ranking clan, there must be more than one master of the second level of the Void Realm in the clan, but there is only one person here. Moreover, this person's cultivation is only at the early stage of the second level of the Void Realm, and the white-robed young man opposite is only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm.
The strength of the Jiegou tribe could not be so weak. Either the others were injured in the glow and forced to leave the holy land; or the others had more important things to do and did not want to get entangled with the young man in white robes, so they just left a member of the tribe to stop him.
With the help of the poisonous fog and the ancient temple's restrictions, this Jie Gou clan cultivator displayed strength beyond his cultivation level.
Not knowing how the young man in white would respond, Qin Sang looked at him again, only to see him falling into a snake net, being watched by thousands of snake heads, but still very calm.
"Humph!"
The young man in white robe sneered, "You are using the same trick again! If this is the only trick you can use, I advise you to get out of here and meet up with your clan leader as soon as possible. Maybe you can break the ancient ban here faster."
The monks of the Jie Gou tribe ignored him and thousands of snake heads opened their mouths at the same time, spewing out bright red poisonous smoke. The poisonous smoke transformed into strange smiling faces, and they pounced towards the young man in white robes with a big laugh.
The smiling face disappeared immediately when it came into contact with the white smoke surrounding the young man in white robe, as if it was originally a non-existent thing and turned into a hidden invisible force that could actually penetrate the white smoke.
It was obvious that this was not the first time that the young man in white robe had been hit. He was not panicked at all. He put his fingers together to form a sword and made a seal on the round tripod.
'Jingle Bell……'
The round tripod clanged and the white smoke coming out of the tripod mouth suddenly stopped. Then the round tripod turned into a stream of light at an astonishing speed, like teleportation. In an instant, countless shadows of round tripods appeared in the white smoke.
Qin Sang saw clearly that the smiling faces transformed by the poisonous mist were almost all sucked into the round tripod. The long-planned attack by the Jie Gou tribe cultivators failed to achieve the desired effect.
"Even if this person is not a poison practitioner, his attainments in the poison path must be quite profound..."
Qin Sang said to the young man in white robe in his heart, and secretly urged his true energy to conjure up a battlefield scene for Liuli, "Fairy, can you tell where this person is coming from?"
Liuli stared at the young man in white robes, and shook her head after a moment, "This person should not be a disciple of those sects."
The alien race has connections with the two major Tianzhous of Xun and Kan, so it is not surprising that other human cultivators have obtained the qualifications to enter the holy land. Since he is not from one of the major sects, this person will not be their opponent for the time being, otherwise Qin Sang would not mind finding an opportunity to eliminate a competitor in advance.
It would be better to just sit back and watch the two continue fighting, letting the young man in white robe attract the attention of the Jie Gou tribe, and they will take the opportunity to sneak in.
Qin Sang looked down at the battlefield. Although he still couldn't see the hall, the power of the ban was activated by the monks of the Jie Gou tribe. Qin Sang could already determine the location of the hall. The problem now was that there were two people blocking the way. How could he avoid alerting them?
Liuli pointed upwards, and Qin Sang nodded, understanding that Liuli meant to borrow the power of the glow. Before they came in, they saw glow emerging around the Ancient Jade Scorpion Palace. The spread of the glow would surely impact the Ancient Jade Scorpion Palace, causing a shock.
They waited on the spot, and soon they felt a violent tremor. However, the two men who were fighting fiercely seemed unaware of it. The turbulence of the poisonous fog and the magical powers of the two men caused chaos on the battlefield.
"go!"
Qin Sang and Liuli saw the opportunity and immediately set off, following the aftermath of the fight and passing through the edge of the battlefield. A moment later, they saw a palace blocking the way ahead.
A green light appears in the red mist.
The shape of this hall is similar to that of the outside world. It is also blocked by a forbidden array. The power of the ban is obviously much stronger than that outside, but it is severely damaged and full of cracks. Half of the roof of the hall has collapsed.
Looking through the damaged area, the hall was empty and the treasures inside had been taken away.
Although the formation was full of loopholes, Qin Sang and Liuli still did not dare to be careless. They carefully passed through a crack without alarming anyone.
"Fellow Daoist Qin?"
Liuli looked at Qin Sang with an inquiring look.
Qin Sang rubbed his palm, concentrating on sensing for a while, and shook his head gently. The mark on his palm did not respond at all. They had not sensed the Thunder Palace, so they had to go deeper.
After passing the main hall, there was a broken ground in front of them. The power of the forbidden formation formed a chaotic storm. The ground was tilted, and the Jade Scorpion Ancient Hall seemed to fall down diagonally, with the main hall located at the poisonous sting at the bottom.
The power here is too chaotic. It is not easy to pass through quietly. Even with the help of Tianmu Butterfly, Qin Sang still has to think hard.
Finally, Qin Sang found a path out of the storm and was about to set off when he suddenly frowned and turned to look at the steps on the right.
This is the staircase behind the main hall. In the gap of the staircase, a grass had grown out at some point. It grew rapidly right before their eyes, opened its umbrella, and a little man the size of a fingernail emerged, staring at them with his hands on his hips.
"I will help you two attract the owner of this place and let you two in. Are you going to leave without saying thank you?"
It was the voice of the young man in white robe.
Qin Sang and Liuli were both quite surprised, as they thought they had hidden it well enough.
His expression remained unchanged, he smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that you have such a keen sense of perception. We saw that you were in the middle of a fierce battle and couldn't bear to disturb you."
"what?"
The young man in white robe noticed their identities and asked in surprise, "Are you two cultivators from the human race?"
"Exactly!"
Qin Sang did not deny it. Let's see what this person's intention was in exposing their whereabouts.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
The villain clapped his hands and laughed, "I was suffering from being a foreigner and not fitting in with the alien race, and having no allies. Unexpectedly, I met people of the same race here! I believe you two are here for the treasures in the Ancient Jade Scorpion Palace?"
"I wonder what treasures are in this ancient temple?"
Qin Sang's question made the villain stunned.
The villain frowned and stared at Qin Sang, questioning: "You don't know what treasures are inside, why are you here?"
"We certainly have important matters to attend to, but they are not treasure hunting. The treasures left by the ancestors of the Jiegou tribe may not be suitable for outsiders like us, and we are not interested in them. If you come here to seize the treasure, there should be no conflict between you and me, and we will not side with the Jiegou tribe. It is better for us to go our separate ways and not interfere with each other!" Qin Sang said truthfully.
Hearing this, the villain had a look of disbelief on his face, and his eyes fell on the Wanyuan Barrier, "Daoyou seems to be a person who is proficient in poison, but you said that you are not here to steal treasures, do you think others will believe it?"
"Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you, fellow Taoist," Qin Sang said lightly, not wanting to say anything more, and waved Liuli to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
The villain quickly called them and scanned their faces, as if trying to tell from Qin Sang's expression whether it was real or fake.
But I don't know what he was thinking. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "You two are not interested in the treasures of the Jie Gou Clan. What if I say there is a greater opportunity inside?"
Qin Sang and Liuli looked at each other and laughed, "Will Daoyou tell us about this opportunity? Or give it to us?"
"I will definitely not give it to you! My goal is to rely on you to force the Jie Gou tribe to retreat. From now on, you and I will rely on our own abilities."
I was very calm. "You two have seen that I am alone and it is difficult for me to pass the gatekeeper. The leader of the Jiegou tribe inside has a higher level of cultivation and can mobilize more forbidden power, making him more difficult to deal with. I originally had no chance at all. If I form an alliance with you two, there may be some hope."
After a pause, he continued, "I'm sure you two have noticed the changes in the celestial phenomena outside. What are your thoughts?"
"We are all entering the holy land for the first time and have no idea about the changes," Qin Sang said with interest, "Fellow Daoist, do you think you know something?"
"I don't know more than you two do," the villain shook his head and then changed his tone, "However, I once heard a legend among the Inhumans, which was a prophecy about the Holy Land."
Having aroused the curiosity of Qin Sang and Liuli, the young man in white robes did not keep them in suspense and continued, "The Taoist friend who told me this said it in a joke, and he did not believe this prophecy. It said that the day when the holy land is destroyed is the beginning of the rise of the alien race, and a great opportunity will befall. The ancestors left guidance in the holy land, and they will all be revived at that time. Think about the scene outside, is it a sign of the destruction of the holy land? If the ancestors of the Jie Gou tribe really left guidance, it must be here!"
Qin Sang and Liuli exchanged glances, both feeling that this legend was a bit absurd.
Even the holy land has been destroyed, so how can we talk about the prosperity of the Inhumans?
"Fellow Daoist, please get past the gatekeeper first," Qin Sang said calmly, turning around and leaving.
