Chapter 619 - See the Jia Lan Jade Coffin again
Even though he had the Earth Escape Technique to protect his body, staying in the deepest part of the cave for a long time still had an impact on his body. After all, the power of earth was like a mountain pressing down on him, staying on the ground for a long time made him feel extremely uncomfortable, even if Li Mu"s body was not any weaker than a level 5 Manifestation Great Demon"s."It seems like this karst cave is naturally formed!"
Because it was located deep underground, the entire cave was gloomy. If not for the fact that there were a few glowing ores in the cave, the entire cave would have been covered in darkness.This cave was very deep, and because it was too dark, Li Mu could not even see the end of it. In addition, Li Mu did not feel any air current flowing inside the cave, so it was clear that this cave did not mix with the outside world, and it should be a completely sealed place.
Because Li Mu"s consciousness could not leave his body, he had no choice but to stay alert and observe his surroundings before walking into the depths of the cave. With his cultivation level, there was no difference whether or not he had the air flow, as long as there was true essence flow in his body, he would not die from lack of air.
As Li Mu went deeper and deeper into the cave, he gradually discovered that there was something strange inside the cave. The cave was actually the same as the outside world, there were basically not many living creatures that could be found, and outside the s.p.a.ce of despair, there were also some black colored plants, but inside the cave, not to mention the plants, there were not even a single blade of gra.s.s. It was simply a place where all life died down, or it should be said to be a barren land.
"Strange, this place has nothing, even if it is a natural karst cave, there should be water. Without the erosion of the flowing water, how could such a karst cave be formed, especially in such a rocky vein!"
The deeper he went into the cave, the more Li Mu felt that something was wrong. The cave was simply too quiet, so quiet that he had no choice but to be suspicious. After walking carefully for another three or four hundred meters, Li Mu finally couldn"t withstand the oppressive atmosphere any longer.
After Li Mu took out the Night Pearl, a blinding white light shone from the Night Pearl. The white light illuminated the dark and gloomy cave, allowing Li Mu to clearly see most of the appearance of the cave.
With the white light of the Night Pearl, Li Mu discovered that the entire cave was actually built on a beige vein. He didn"t know if it was because this beige vein had existed for too long, but it looked a little dark.Li Mu went closer to one of the walls in the cave and curiously touched the beige ore that had already turned black. Very quickly, he discovered something strange, although the beige ore"s surface was a little black, he could clearly see that there were lines of uneven marks on it.
Each of these uneven marks was essentially the same size, giving the impression of a bite from something.
"I"ve seen a ghost, could it be …" G.o.d Slaughtering Worm!
After Li Mu pondered for a while, he immediately thought of an answer. He immediately took out the Deicide worm that had died under his Stunning Needle and opened its mouth, revealing its two rows of sharp teeth. Li Mu took out the Deicide worm"s teeth and compared it with the teeth marks on the stone wall of the mine, exactly as he had guessed, the tooth marks on the stone wall of the mine were actually left behind by the G.o.d Slaughtering Bugs.
This is truly strange. Although this G.o.d Slaughtering Worm devours everything, it only eats things that are useful in strengthening itself, such as the flesh of demon beasts and humans, as well as things like spirit herbs that contain rich in origin energy. This looks like an extremely ordinary vein, so what"s so good about it that it"s worth devouring!Li Mu couldn"t help but frown after confirming that the cave was created by the G.o.d Slaughtering Bugs. At the start, he thought that this place was naturally formed due to the dim light, but he didn"t expect that it was actually bitten out by the G.o.d Slaughtering Bugs.
"This place has already been in shape for quite some time. Logically speaking, there shouldn"t be a G.o.d Slaughtering Bug left here. Otherwise, with the vicious nature of the G.o.d Slaughtering Bug, it would have long since detected my presence. Since that"s the case, I"ll go in and investigate!"
Li Mu stood in place and pondered for a while, before deciding to continue moving forward due to his curiosity. After all, he had already arrived at this place, and he was indeed curious as to why the G.o.d Slaughtering Insect would open such a large cave in this kind of place.After making his decision, Li Mu took out the Herba Cunninghami. Although it was common sense that the existence of the G.o.d Slaughtering Bugs shouldn"t exist in this place, it was common logic after all, and there was also the possibility of something going against common sense.
Under the light of the Night Pearl, Li Mu walked deeper and deeper into the cave, and then turned seven, eight times as he walked a thousand meters forward, a stone room that looked like it was constructed by man appeared in front of Li Mu"s eyes.
The reason why Li Mu thought that this underground stone room was manmade was because the walls that were exposed were extremely smooth and neat, and did not seem like they were created by a G.o.d Slaughtering Bug using its fangs.
When Li Mu saw the stone room, he could not help but immediately hold the Herba Cunninghami tightly in his hands. He knew that it was very possible that the end of the nameless cave underground was here.
Li Mu slowly touched the door of the stone room, because his spiritual sense was not able to leave his body and travel ten meters away, he was not clear about the situation inside the stone room. As his spiritual sense circulated to his eyes, the ability of his eyes increased, although it was the clairvoyant eye"s exaggeration, but at the distance of a few hundred meters, he could still see everything clearly.
"This is!" How could it be like this! "
Following the increase in Li Mu"s eyes" senses, he was able to clearly see the situation within the stone room. The entire underground stone room was basically empty, but in a corner of the stone room, there was an image that greatly shocked Li Mu.On top of the white jade coffin was a ball of purple gold light the size of a watermelon floating in the air. This ball of purple gold light looked like a huge purple gold bead, and its surface flickered with a faint purplish-gold light, while a faintly discernable life force occasionally emitted from the ball of purple gold light, as if it was a living being.
"Jade coffin, this … How could it be the Jia Lan Jade Coffin! "
What made Li Mu shocked wasn"t the floating golden orb of light that was floating above the jade coffin, but rather the jade coffin on the ground. Li Mu was extremely familiar with this jade coffin;
Because the Gold Jade City"s City Lord used this Jia Lan Jade Coffin to hide Little Yue"er that day, Li Mu"s impression of this jade coffin was especially deep. He never would have thought that a big and small Jia Lan Jade Coffin that looked like a precious treasure of the buddhist faith would actually appear here."That"s not right!" This is impossible, the Jia Lan Jade Coffin should be in the hands of the Gold Jade City"s City Lord Nangong Li right now, and although this jade coffin look exactly like the Jia Lan Jade Coffin in Nangong Li"s hands, the dust on it is already so thick, and it is obvious that it has been lying here for a long time. It shouldn"t be the same object, but this is simply too much of a coincidence! "
Li Mu looked at the white jade coffin that had a layer of thick dust on its surface, and determined that it would be here for a long time, endured his curiosity, and then looked at the purple gold orb of light above the jade coffin, especially the faintly discernable life force inside the purple gold orb, which made Li Mu even more suspicious.
"There aren"t any living creatures in this s.p.a.ce of despair other than the G.o.d Slaughtering Bug and those strange black plants. This purplish-gold light is filled with vitality. Could it be that the G.o.d Slaughtering Bug is inside?!"
The golden blade on the Herba Cunninghami in his hand flashed, as he prepared to attack at any time. However, as he prepared to defend against the purple gold ball of light with all her might, it did not make the slightest of movements, but continued to float motionlessly in the air above the jade coffin, as if it was filled with a strange aura.
Seeing that there were no movements from the purple-gold light blob for a long time, Li Mu"s courage increased a little. He gradually moved closer to the jade coffin that had the exact same appearance as the Jia Lan Jade Coffin, and soon he was twenty meters away from the Jia Lan Jade Coffin.As Li Mu got closer and closer, the purple gold orb of light floating above the Jia Lan Jade Coffin still did not have the slightest reaction. Seeing that, Li Mu became bolder and bolder, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and activated his sacred art, dragon claw hand, which was accompanied by a burst of golden light, and a dragon claw that was covered in golden dragon scales flew out from in front of Li Mu.
After pulling the Jia Lan Jade Coffin in front of him, Li Mu did not immediately open it. Instead, he looked nervously at the purple gold ball of light in the air, and upon seeing that there was still no reaction from the purple gold ball, Li Mu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Let me see what exactly is inside this Jia Lan Jade Coffin! Could she be a dead man? "However, what made Li Mu speechless was that, with his extraordinary physical strength, he was actually unable to even move the jade coffin by half a centimeter. One must know that Li Mu"s current strength was comparable to a level 5 Spirit Demon beast, but he was unable to move the jade coffin by even a single bit.
