The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

After the collision, the Nine Nether Sky Snake twisted its body and gave up entanglement with the stone snake.

But when the Nine Nether Sky Snake crawled a short distance, the stone snake's body was broken into pieces.

In just a few breaths, the stone snake turned into a pool of gravel.

At this time, the Nine Nether Sky Snake opened its mouth and a suction force came out.

In the gravel, a long snake soul with a black body floated out.

Although the long snake soul was struggling, it was still sucked into the mouth of the Nine Nether Sky Snake.

After licking the snake's tongue, the Nine Nether Sky Snake continued to crawl towards another stone pillar.

Under Matthew's gaze, the Nine Nether Sky Snake successively dealt with the stone snakes transformed from the four stone pillars, and absorbed the floating long snake souls one by one.

When the last stone snake turned into gravel, the floor in the middle fell, revealing a pit.

Matthew put away the Nine Nether Sky Snake, took good protection, and jumped into the pit.

This was the only way for him to leave, and he didn't have time to think too much.

The pit was not deep, and it only fell a few dozen feet to the bottom.

The bottom of the pit was surrounded by thick soil. Matthew stretched out his hand and knocked on the soil around for a while, then punched one side.

"Boom!"

After the soil was smashed, a dark passage was revealed.

After waving his sleeves to disperse the dust, Matthew shot out a fireball in the passage.

Seeing that the rock walls around the passage were uneven and the ground was even more bumpy, Matthew's eyes showed a hint of joy.

When the pit appeared, he felt something was wrong.

When he saw this passage appear, he knew that it was definitely not made by the people of Lingyao Island themselves.

The people of Lingyao Island set up a large number of restrictions in the forbidden area, but Matthew had only encountered illusions so far.

In his opinion, either he was lucky and there were no restrictions where he came from.

Or the restrictions here were all destroyed.

After casting several spells into the passage continuously and not encountering any danger, Matthew went in at ease.

He now missed the puppet from before. If there was a puppet, he could let the puppet explore the way ahead.

"Ding Ling, can you drive the puppets in my storage bag?" Matthew suddenly asked.

"You can drive one temporarily, but the time is at most five hours." Ding Ling responded.

"Five hours, enough, let's start."

Matthew thought about it and made a decision.

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted a storage bag on his waist. After a flash of white light, a humanoid puppet holding a dagger appeared in front of him.

A purple light appeared in Matthew's palm, and he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the body of the puppet.

When the purple light sank into the body of the puppet, the puppet raised its head.

Driving the puppet to walk quickly forward, he followed behind slowly.

The passage was winding and tortuous, and there were cracks in the ground in some places.

However, after walking for so long, he did not encounter any restrictions.

"Huh."

When Matthew came to a horizontal ditch and was about to drive the puppet across, he saw something seemed to be under the ditch.

With doubts in his heart, he shot several fireballs into the ditch.

Under the light of the fire, he saw a small hole on the wall of the ditch.

It was estimated that the hole was just big enough to accommodate the puppet. After a little thought, Matthew drove the puppet to jump into the ditch.

When the puppet was about to fall into the hole, the short knife in the puppet's hand stabbed the rock wall, and the falling figure stopped.

After a slight shake, the puppet jumped into the hole.

Through the divine consciousness attached to the puppet, Matthew knew.

The hole was not big, but the space inside was not small.

It was just that the cave was very deep. After driving the puppet for a while, he had reached the limit of what his divine consciousness could bear.

Matthew looked up at the passage opposite the ditch, and then looked at the hole where the puppet entered.

After a slight hesitation, Matthew jumped into the ditch.

With a slight shake, he appeared in the cave.

This place had already been explored with divine sense, there was no danger, so he didn't have to worry too much.

When Matthew explored the cave, somewhere in the forbidden area.

Qingyunzi and the masked man stood behind Heihun.

At this moment, Heihun was holding an ancient bronze mirror in his hand. As his fingers kept sliding, the scene on the mirror was constantly changing.

"The monk surnamed Li you are talking about is not anywhere in the forbidden area." After a moment, Heihun said softly.

He had already used secret methods to explore almost all places in the forbidden area, and he couldn't find any trace of Matthew.

Even he himself found this very strange.

Matthew followed Qingyunzi and the masked man to the forbidden area, and he knew this best.

When the three appeared, he had already seen them through the bronze mirror in his hand.

But as for why Matthew suddenly disappeared, he was very puzzled.

"Elder Black Soul, could it be that Fellow Daoist Li has been killed by a restriction somewhere?" The masked man asked after hesitating for a moment.

"None of the restrictions in the forbidden area have been touched, but there was something unusual in the illusion before. But I have just checked, and there is no one in the illusion." Black Soul said with a suspicious look in his eyes.

A living person suddenly disappeared in the forbidden area, which could be a big deal or a small deal.

But as the guardian of the forbidden area, Black Soul must find out whether Matthew is dead or alive.

If he is dead, we need to find his body. If he is alive, we need to find Matthew.

Otherwise, even if he is a Yuanying cultivator, he will not be able to bear the blame from the upper echelons.

“You two go outside to deal with the beast tide first. I will go to find the cultivator alone.” Black Soul said to the two after putting away the bronze ancient mirror.

“Yes!”

The two bowed in response.
