Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

Chapter 273 Water of Demonic Earthworms
On a remote cliff on Huoleng Island, creatures the size of wolves and dogs, like seals, were quietly climbing up from the sea.

As if they had a clear purpose, they scattered after arriving on the shore. When encountering various monsters, they did not hunt them, but chose to bypass them, and then continued towards the island.

Seen from the sky, thousands of crawling creatures are seen quickly passing through the vegetation, like a grate combing through the wilderness jungle.

Finally, these creatures came to a cave entrance and filed in without hesitation.

The cave entrance is open in all directions, damp and dark, and countless tree roots are intertwined. If a monk comes here, it will definitely be difficult to move.

But for the iron-seeking rats that dig in the ground in search of iron ore for food, this environment is their home field.

These iron-seeking rats entered different passages in twos and threes. As time went by, the faster iron-seeking rats had penetrated more than ten miles underground.

But the huge underground cave is full of dangers. Some monsters hiding here seem to be interested in these iron-seeking rats and want to use them as food.

A giant python that was seven to eight feet long was originally hidden in a corner and motionless, like a stone statue. But when several iron-seeking rats passed by it, the giant python jumped up and swallowed them in one gulp. Only looking for iron rats.

But the python soon realized that he had done something stupid.

More than ten breaths later, the originally huge python had been cut into pieces. These iron-seeking rats raised their three-foot-long steel claws and began to cut the essence of the python, and then swallowed it into their bellies. .

The sweet taste of blood food made these iron-seeking rats show their bloodthirsty instinct, but another consciousness in their bellies took over their brains and forcibly separated them from this feast of flesh and blood.

Hundreds of miles away from Huoleng Island, on the seabed, Fang Qingyuan was hiding in Shui Ling Xuanwu's body, closing his eyes tightly and commanding the iron-seeking rats from afar.

Through the scorpion-tailed wasps on the abdomens of the iron-seeking rats, Fang Qingyuan controlled these iron-seeking rats. His powerful soul allowed him to control thousands of iron-seeking rats without any difficulty.

It's just that at such a long distance, there is a delay of several breaths in the middle of the operation, resulting in more precise operations that Fang Qingyuan cannot use.

At present, Fang Qingyuan can only issue orders, but relies more on the iron-seeking rat's instinct to fight.

It was already the third day after Tuoba Ye sent the message. Fang Qingyuan rushed over from Jinluo Island, which also took three days.

The group of demon cultivators must have moved to another location at this time, but for the sake of safety, Fang Qingyuan decided to send out an army of rats to act as his eyes and ears.

As thousands of iron-seeking rats go deep underground, losses also occur. In the underground caves, there are many monsters equivalent to the foundation-building realm.

When the group of iron-seeking rats finally arrived at the demon sect's altar based on the aura left by Tuoba Ye, the number had shrunk to about a hundred.

More than 900 iron-seeking rats began to search this place, trying to find traces of the enemy hiding here.

However, after these iron-seeking rats leveled the area and cleared away all kinds of insects and scales, and found nothing wrong, Fang Qingyuan also waited for several days before arriving here.

After checking that there were still clear traces of the fighting skills, Fang Qingyuan was silent for a long time. In the end, he said nothing and continued to explore the territory.

Take out a section of the immortal vine from the Immortal Mansion and throw it casually on the ground. The broken immortal vine will grow rapidly. When it finally withers, the branches and leaves on one side will become slightly more vigorous.

Fang Qingyuan was thoughtful as he put away the remains of the branches.

It seemed that this was the place where the demonic energy was more abundant, so Fang Qingyuan took out the branches of the immortal vine and began to test them continuously.

Finally, Fang Qingyuan came to an ordinary place. Through the reaction of the branches of the immortal vine, Fang Qingyuan determined that this was the source of the evil energy in this world. "The cave is truly secluded, and the energy of food returns to its original state, forgive me!"

Fang Qingyuan muttered something, using the breathing technique taught by Lechuan, and analyzed and watched the scene in front of him with all his strength.

After a few breaths, Fang Qingyuan stopped his endless downward flow of spiritual thoughts. He had already come into contact with the hidden magic circle.

This magic circle seems to be the handiwork of the magic monk. For some reason, they would rather leave the magic circle than destroy it all. Could it be that the things underground are more precious and cannot be restored once damaged?
Facing such a formation, Fang Qingyuan studied for a while and found that he still couldn't grasp the key points. He knew nothing about the formation.

But it doesn't matter. At this time, Jinbao comes in handy. Its delusion-breaking golden pupils can see through this formation.

Sure enough, as Jin Bao's eyes turned golden, the formation in front of him was already full of flaws in Jin Bao's eyes.

As the Jinbao Bear's paw swayed back and forth, a quarter of an hour later, Fang Qingyuan heard a crisp cracking sound, and the formation in front of him disappeared, replaced by a black altar covering an area of ​​more than ten meters.

Seeing the altar, Fang Qingyuan looked slightly happy. Taking the gold treasure, Fang Qingyuan came outside the altar.

Among the altars, there was a place for placing items. It was empty, and around the altar was black soil, exuding an ominous aura.

It depends on the situation, what kind of items are being offered in exchange for something. This altar is quite intact and should still be usable.

Fang Qingyuan tried to put a medium-grade spiritual stone into the altar, but there was no movement on the altar.

Are spiritual stones useless?

Fang Qingyuan took off the spirit stone, and with a slight thought, an iron-seeking rat next to him jumped into it.

This time, there was movement on the altar, and the altar shone slightly. After a moment, a stream of black water spurted out from the altar.

Seeing the black water, Fang Qingyuan dodged and let the black water spread to the edge of the altar. The black water was absorbed by the black soil in the blink of an eye. The soil of the black water was absorbed, making the color appear darker.

Look at the iron-seeking rat again. His whole body is dry and covered with essence of flesh and blood, and even his soul has been absorbed by the altar.

It turns out that this is what the altar needs, but what is the black water?

I just seemed to feel that this black water contains some demonic energy. Where does the black water come from, and who does the altar point to?

These questions emerged in Fang Qingyuan's mind, and he immediately started another experiment.

This time, he chose to seal the black water with utensils. After receiving the black water three or four times, Fang Qingyuan chose to seal the altar and arrange a formation to cover his tracks.

Fang Qingyuan then left some Iron Rats scattered around to serve as temporary guards, and then he hurried to the black market.

When he arrived at the Wuzhi Black Market, Fang Qingyuan took out the spirit stones and asked for the items to be appraised. Then he took out a bottle of black water and handed it to the appraiser in the black market.

"The water of the devil is rich in demonic energy. According to the quality, it is considered a first-class high-grade spiritual material. If it is sold, we will buy it for one tael of a medium-grade spiritual stone."

Fang Qingyuan took back the black water and shook his head to reject the other party's proposal. At this moment, he thought in his mind, is there a hungry devil earthworm waiting to be fed on the opposite side of the altar?
