C914 The Former King's Underground Palace
Besides, the royal family still has to pay attention to their own bodies, even though they're just skin bags, but in their eyes, they're also their own things. Therefore, even after death, they had to preserve them well and not be damaged in the slightest. Thus, they would use all sorts of methods to ensure that their corpses would not rot for ten thousand years.
This was especially the case for those in higher positions. Their requirements for their own underground palaces were extremely high. It was almost as if they had something when they were alive. After death, they would also create the same underground palace. In their opinion, even if they were in the underworld, they still had to maintain the status of ruling at that time.
Their underground palace could even be said to be an underground city. The thickness of the city walls required the attack of some experts. If a Mahayana Period expert could destroy a well-fortified city wall with just a single strike, it would definitely be unqualified.
In fact, there were some mechanisms and formations in their underground palace that were quite complicated. Therefore, if anyone wanted to rob their burial items, they would most likely never return. Very few people would be able to steal their treasures from their graves.
However, normally speaking, there were many treasures in their underground palaces. In particular, some rare treasures were extremely alluring. Many experts could not help but take the risk. As long as they stole something, it might greatly increase their strength.
After listening to Loong Xue's narration, everyone could not help but think in their hearts. The last time Patriarch Loong brought people to a cave, they had encountered danger in the cave. According to Patriarch Loong's description, it was very likely that he had entered the underground palace and was attacked by the formation.
No matter what, there was a sense of extreme danger ahead of them. Everyone was fully focused and prepared to face some unknown danger.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Fann stopped. Looking at the surrounding bushes, he couldn't help but frown. He looked like he was thinking.
Everyone was also very curious. They knew that Zhang Fann must have found something and didn't disturb him. They just quietly looked at Zhang Fann from the side, wanting to hear what Zhang Fan said.
They looked around. Zhang Fann looked around and said to Ninth Master Lu, "Ninth Master, did you notice that there seemed to be some traces of people walking on the bushes ahead, and there were a lot of them."
Ninth Master Lu looked ahead and observed the ground. He found that there were indeed some broken branches on the ground. This meant that something had passed through this place.
"That's true. There are indeed traces of people passing this place. It looks like we need to be more careful." Ninth Master Lu frowned and pointed to a broken branch on the ground. He said to everyone.
"Could it be some wild beasts passing by?" Cheng Bo was curious and asked Zhang Fann.
Zhang Fann shook his head and replied, "No. If there really were any wild beasts or animals passing by, they would definitely leave some fur and clues. But now, it seems that nothing was left here, only some traces. So, I'm sure it was left behind by human activity. "
After listening to Zhang Fann's words, everyone felt that it made sense. If it was a beast, it naturally wouldn't care about these things. Only people would think of leaving no traces, but the more it was like this, the more obvious the marks could be left.
Zhang Fann looked in front of him and pushed his Spiritual Sense to the limit. He said to everyone, "These people might be very far away from us. My Spiritual Sense can't sense their existence. Or rather, it should be said that... The people in front of us might have hidden auras or treasures, so we have to be careful."
Everyone nodded their heads and followed behind Zhang Fann. At the same time, they were constantly observing their surroundings to prevent any mishaps from happening. None of them spoke, and they tried their best not to make any noise.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Fann immediately told everyone to hide. This was because he found some people in white robes in front of him. Their clothes were very uniform. They were probably disciples of some sect, but what were they doing here?
In the distance, a group of disciples in white robes were looking at the map in their hands. They didn't sense the presence of Zhang Fann and the others at all. All of them had puzzled expressions on their faces, as if they had encountered something that they couldn't understand.
"This is really strange. Eldest Senior Brother, this map looks completely different from the environment we came into contact with in real life. Did you get the wrong map?"
"I don't think so. However, the layout of this place must have been rearranged by some expert. They must be hiding something, or perhaps they had no choice but to do it."
"But... If anyone has ever touched the landscape of this place, " It's impossible that there are no traces left behind. We have already made three rounds around this place, but we still haven't found the legendary mountain peak. It's really strange. "
"Exactly. When we came here, the scenery we encountered along the way was different from the one on the map. What exactly is going on? Are we going to get lost?"
"I don't think so. We've made some marks along the way. At most, we can just return the way we came. It's unlikely that we won't be able to leave."
"That's not a problem. The problem is where are we going now? Where are we going? "If the map is not accurate, we can only feel our way forward. "This way, the sect's mission will be very difficult to complete."
"This time, we came out to find the location of the imperial underground palace. But if we continue like this, it will really be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, this place is so big. Can we really walk out?"
For a moment, everyone had no idea what to do. They could only look at Eldest Senior Brother, hoping that he could solve this problem.
The young man called Eldest Senior Brother looked like he was in his twenties. Looking at the map in his hand, a worried look appeared on his face. He didn't know where to go. After all, he was the one who led the team on this mission. Try not to get any casualties, or else... Fortunately, he didn't encounter anyone along the way. They did not encounter any desolate beasts.
"Let's rest for a while. After walking for so long, everyone is tired. Let's eat something first, then we will continue on our journey."
Along the way, everyone's journey was quite tiring. When they heard that they could rest for a while, they sat on the ground and took out the things in their hands to replenish their strength.
Cheng Bo looked ahead and then looked at Zhang Fann. He frowned and thought. He couldn't help but think in his heart.2
