Creation and immortality: I can manifest endless talents
Chapter 267 Exploring the Underground Palace
"Boom boom--"
At this time, the ground suddenly shook violently again, as if something huge was awakening underground.
"No, there is a giant beast here!" A dark-faced team member shouted excitedly, with a hint of fear in his voice.
Gu Yang's eyes were stern. He knew that this underground palace not only had mechanisms, but also might hide ancient guardian beasts.
These beasts usually have powerful strength, enough to bring them a huge threat.
Sure enough, as the vibration intensified, a huge stone beast head broke out of the ground, its eyes flashed red, and a wave of heat spurted out of its mouth.
The body of the stone beast seemed to be pieced together by countless ancient rocks, each of which was engraved with complex Naxi totems, as if every line contained some mysterious power.
It was huge, standing up to three people tall, with shoulders as broad as mountains, giving people a sense of unshakable solidity.
Its head was even more impressive, with two huge stone horns stretching ferociously to the sky, like the crown of an ancient mythical beast.
The eyes of the beast's head were sunken, but flashing with a strange red light, which was the light emitted by the magma inside, revealing a ferocity that had just awakened after sleeping for thousands of years.
The stone beast opened its mouth, revealing a row of neat stone teeth, each of which was as sharp as a knife, as if it could bite everything.
From its mouth, hot air continued to steam out, and the heat waves rolled, making people feel suffocated.
Although Gu Yang and his teammates were surprised by the sudden giant beast, they were more eager to fight.
Even if the strength of this giant beast completely exceeded the giant beasts they had seen before, they were not afraid.
"Prepare for battle!" Gu Yang ordered in a deep voice, his eyes were firm, and the long sword in his hand flashed coldly in the light.
Each member of the team quickly found their position. For a time, the power of the Nine Netherworld circulated around them, forming a halo of defense and attack.
Tieyi launched the attack first, and his body rushed straight to the head of the stone beast like a blue meteor.
His fist condensed the powerful Nine Nether Force and hit the forehead of the stone beast fiercely.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the stone beast's head was knocked back a short distance, but it did not break as expected. Instead, it roared angrily, and two beams of light shot out of its red eyes and went straight to Tieyi.
Tieyi dodged nimbly and shouted at the same time: "Its eyes are a weakness!"
Gu Yang immediately understood the key to the battle when he heard this.
He quickly mobilized the team and commanded them to concentrate their firepower on the stone beast's eyes.
For a time, various attacks of the Nine Nether Force gathered into a fierce storm and blasted towards the stone beast's eyes.
The stone beast felt threatened and began to swing its stone arms violently, trying to knock these annoying ants away.
Gu Yang and his teammates flexibly dodged the stone beast's attacks, while constantly finding the right time to launch precise strikes.
After a fierce battle, finally, a powerful Nine Nether Force hit the stone beast's red eyes directly, making a "crackling" sound of shattering.
The stone beast let out a shrill howl, and its body began to shake, as if it had lost its balance.
Gu Yang knew that this was the best time to end the battle.
He raised his long sword high, concentrated all his strength, and launched a final fatal blow to the stone beast's eyes.
The long sword was like a shuttle of lightning, cutting through the air, carrying an unparalleled sharp breath straight to the stone beast's red eyes.
Gu Yang's figure seemed to be integrated with the sword light at this moment. Every breath he took was in sync with the blade, and every step he took was full of determination and determination.
At the same time, the other team members were not idle either.
A team member who was good at long-range attacks, with a bow and arrow in his hand, shot arrow after arrow accurately at the stone beast's eyes like chasing stars and moons.
The arrows left a trail of afterimages in the air, each of which was their hope of survival.
Another team member was a mage who mastered the rare Nine Nether Seal. He formed seals with both hands, and the rocks on the ground rose up in response, turning into pieces of rapidly rotating stone blades, slashing at the stone beast's limbs fiercely.
The stone blade collided with the stone beast's stone skin, emitting dazzling sparks, but the mage's attack was constantly weakening the stone beast's mobility.
The battle intensified, the stone beast's roar was deafening, it waved its huge stone arms, trying to smash all the enemies in front of it.
But Gu Yang and his men were like a group of cunning wolves, always able to dodge fatal blows at the critical moment.
Gu Yang's long knife finally pierced the stone beast's eyes accurately in a perfect leap.
The red light of the stone beast stopped abruptly at this moment, as if all its vitality had been sucked away.
Cracks began to appear on the body of the giant beast, starting from the eyes and gradually spreading to the whole body.
Seeing this, the team members increased their offensive one after another, and the power of the Nine Nether surged out like a raging tide, and every collision deepened the cracks of the stone beast.
Finally, with a roar that was more shocking than before, the body of the stone beast seemed unable to withstand the explosion of internal energy, and the whole body collapsed and turned into rubble on the ground.
On the long sword that Gu Yang held tightly, there were still traces of magma flowing out of the stone beast, emitting a faint red light.
His breathing gradually stabilized, and he turned to look at his teammates. Everyone's face was filled with fatigue and excitement.
"Well done, guys." Tieyi said approvingly. He knew that without the tacit cooperation of the team, they would not be able to defeat this powerful stone beast so quickly.
The stone beast had turned into a piece of debris and completely disappeared, but this time there was no more condensation of the Nine Nether Power. Instead, there was a rock engraved with the Naxi totem.
Everyone could feel the powerful power contained in this rock. Obviously, this was an extremely precious treasure.
Gu Yang gently stroked the rock engraved with the Naxi totem, feeling the ancient and mysterious power emanating from it.
He knew that this might be the key to unlock the secrets deep in the underground palace, and perhaps a priceless treasure.
"Let's keep moving forward." Gu Yang put away the rock and said to his teammates.
Although the members of the team had experienced a fierce battle, their eyes were still firm.
They nodded to each other, adjusted their equipment, and followed Gu Yang into the underground palace.
The corridors of the underground palace were winding, and the torches on the walls emitted a faint light, reflecting their firm steps.
The air was filled with an ancient atmosphere, and every step was like traveling through a thousand years of time.
They walked carefully through the corridor, alert to any traps and dangers that might appear.
Gu Yang's long knife was always ready, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, looking for any abnormal signs.
Suddenly, a huge stone door appeared at the end of the underground palace, which was also engraved with the mysterious totems of the Naxi people.
Gu Yang walked forward and aimed the rock in his hand at a groove on the stone door.
They held their breath and saw that the rock fit perfectly with the groove. Then the totem on the stone door began to glow, and rays of light intertwined on the door, forming a magnificent light and shadow pattern.
With a roar, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a huge cave.
In the center of the cave, there was a huge stone platform with a crystal ball emitting soft light on it.
Gu Yang walked into the cave first, followed by his teammates, and their eyes were attracted by the crystal ball.
"This crystal ball seems to contain powerful energy." A team member whispered.
Gu Yang walked to the stone platform and reached out to touch the crystal ball gently.
Suddenly, the light in the crystal ball was very bright, and a powerful energy wave emanated from it, and the whole cave began to tremble slightly.
"Be careful!" Gu Yang shouted, he felt a strong sense of crisis.
They were just about to retreat, and countless light spots suddenly lit up on the walls of the cave, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
The light spots gradually connected into lines, forming a huge star map, and in the center of the star map was the crystal ball emitting light.
Gu Yang and his teammates stared at this scene in amazement. They realized that this underground palace contained not only treasures, but also the wisdom of ancient civilization and the mysteries of the universe.
Gu Yang's eyes were fixed on the star map, and a glimmer of thought flashed in his eyes.
The star map was intricate, and each light spot seemed to hide some profound secrets, and the lines between them were full of mysterious laws.
Although his understanding and knowledge of the starry sky was definitely better than that of other Jiuyou clans, Gu Yang did not show his ability in this regard.
He motioned his teammates to come closer and study the sudden star map together.
They surrounded the crystal ball, and everyone observed it attentively, trying to find clues from it.
"Look here, the pattern formed by these lines is somewhat similar to the Naxi totem we saw at the entrance." A team member pointed to a part of the star map and said.
"Indeed, these patterns seem to be an ancient text or symbol." Another team member added, his fingers gently passed between the light spots on the star map, trying to imitate the shape of those symbols.
Gu Yang pondered for a moment and began to carefully memorize every detail on the star map.
He knew that this information might be the key to unlocking the deeper secrets of the underground palace.
"Look at this position." Tieyi suddenly pointed to a corner of the star map, where the light spots were arranged into a small pattern, which was obviously different from the other parts.
Everyone got closer and found that the pattern seemed to be a small constellation, but unlike the constellations they were familiar with, it exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
"This may be a guide, perhaps we should explore in the direction of this constellation." Gu Yang made his own guess.
The members of the team agreed, and they decided to continue to explore the underground palace according to the guidance of this constellation pattern.
Under the leadership of Gu Yang, the team began to move according to the guidance on the star map.
They carefully passed through the cave and moved in the direction indicated by the star map.
Soon, they came to a new cave. There was no star map here, but there were rows of stone pillars, each of which was engraved with exquisite patterns and words.
"The words on these stone pillars are very similar to the symbols on the star map." A team member walked and observed, and he tried to touch the stone pillars to feel the power contained in them.
Gu Yang continued to record the newly discovered information, and his heart was full of excitement.
These ancient words and patterns are undoubtedly the most valuable gains of their expedition.
Just as they were concentrating on studying the stone pillars, Gu Yang suddenly felt that the ground under his feet was a little strange.
He looked down and found a series of complex patterns on the ground, which were exactly the shape of the special constellation they saw on the star map.
"There is a mechanism here!" Gu Yang realized it immediately, and he signaled his teammates to stop and carefully observe the pattern on the ground.
After some research, they found that this constellation pattern was actually a complex mechanism that needed to be activated in a certain order.
Gu Yang took a deep breath, and then carefully stepped on the first light spot in the pattern according to his understanding of the star map.
With each step he moved, the pattern on the ground began to change, the light spots gradually lit up, and the entire stone pillar cave seemed to respond to his footsteps.
Finally, when Gu Yang stepped on the last light spot, the entire cave shook, and the open space between the stone pillars slowly opened, revealing a downward staircase.
Gu Yang turned his head to look at his teammates, and they looked at each other, with a gleam of determination in their eyes.
"Let's go down."
Without any hesitation, Gu Yang took the lead and stepped onto the stairs, going deeper into the secrets of the underground palace.
His teammates followed, their footsteps echoing on the stone steps, and each step was like a threshold to an ancient secret.
After going down for a long time, their vision gradually widened. At the end of the stairs was a huge underground lake. The water was clear and the bottom was visible. There was an island in the middle of the lake, and a huge stone pillar stood on the island.
"There seems to be something on the stone pillar." Gu Yang squinted his eyes. He could vaguely see that there seemed to be words engraved on the stone pillar.
They searched for the way to the island along the lake.
Soon, they found a stone bridge hidden in the shadows. The bridge was covered with thick moss and seemed slippery.
"Be careful when crossing the bridge." Gu Yang reminded.
The members of the team crossed the stone bridge one by one, cautiously. Although the bridge surface was extremely slippery, they finally successfully reached the island.
Gu Yang walked to the stone pillar and carefully observed the words on it.
After some research, they guessed that these words should record an ancient ritual, which is closely related to the star map.
"This may be the key to opening the deeper part of the underground palace." Gu Yang's voice was full of excitement.
They decided to perform the ceremony according to the instructions on the stone pillar, hoping to unlock the last secret of the underground palace.
The ceremony began, and the only seal master in the team began to chant the ancient spell, while the other team members placed the various materials needed for the ceremony according to the instructions.
As the spell deepened, the lake began to ripple, and the words on the stone pillars emitted a dazzling light. The entire island seemed to be responding to some call.
Gu Yang and his teammates watched nervously, knowing that once the ceremony was successful, they would unveil the most mysterious veil of this underground palace. (End of this chapter)
