Even though he understood that since the system had asked him to go to the cave, it meant that the system would definitely be able to guarantee his safety, but after thinking about it carefully, Luo Xiu still explained it to the old man.
"Oh, didn't you just say that you weren't interested?
Why are you suddenly interested in that place?
Let me say this first, you better not go too deep. Otherwise, even the Old Man won't be able to save you!
There was an extremely strange devouring power in that place. Anything with spiritual energy that entered that place would be devoured by the corpses in the cave in a very short period of time.
The reason why my Jiutian God Clan can persist in this secret realm for so many years is inseparable from my clan's cultivation method.
My clan has some strong cultivators with physical bodies.
That's why it's best for you to watch from the outside.
With your physical strength, it will only be bad for you if you go too deep. "He looked at Luo Xiu with a slightly playful expression, and then warned Luo Xiu with a very serious expression.
Luo Xiu didn't dare to be careless with the old man's warning. He nodded very cautiously. At the same time, he also knew that with the old man's current cultivation, the fact that he could warn him showed that there was an extremely powerful danger in the cave.
Therefore, for the first time, he had doubts about the system. Although the system's description was very tempting, Luo Xiu was still somewhat hesitant. He didn't know if it was right for him to go now.
"Senior, I want to confirm something. If the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi in this world is devoured by those strange corpses, will this world disappear?"
Hearing him say this, Luo Xiu didn't plan to go immediately. He wanted to go to the cave to take a look. Although he had the system's guarantee and could rest easy, it was better not to take risks. After all, time was tight. If something uncontrollable happened in the cave, he couldn't do anything in a short period of time. Thinking about it this way, Luo Xiu realized that he didn't really want to go and take a look.
"It shouldn't happen in a short period of time, but it's hard to say after a long time.
The reason for the formation of this world could no longer be determined.
However, what was certain was that this secret realm could have lasted for countless years only because of the existence of those terrifying corpses.
This caused the world to collapse in a short period of time.
If these corpses still exist, I think this world will disappear in a few decades! "
The old man said to Lu Xiu with an ugly expression, but there was a trace of uncertainty in his tone.
"Senior, I'll go take a look. I've never seen such terrifying creatures before, and I'd like to see what they look like.
Senior, please be at ease. This junior will definitely not go too deep. "
Since the old man had said so, Luo Xiu was also afraid that after he went to the Heavenly Stellar Section Continent, he would not be able to return in a short period of time. He also wanted to see what secrets were hidden in the cave.
After confirming the rendezvous point with the old man, Luo Xiu turned around and flew towards the mountain that the old man had mentioned just now.
Along the way, Luo Xiu didn't see any clansmen of the Nine Heavens God Clan. However, as he got closer to the mountain peak, the aura that made his scalp tingle became more and more intense. Moreover, Luo Xiu was faintly unable to maintain his flying posture.
There was also a huge fluctuation in the True Essence in his body, and there seemed to be a strange power seeping into his body, and at the same time, it was constantly neutralizing the power in his body.
Feeling the degree of disorder of the energy in his body, Luo Xiu could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. If this kind of creature was still alive, then the lethality that they could cause was simply unimaginable.
The moment Luo Xiu's body stood at the entrance of the cave, he suddenly felt that he was a little careless this time.
Just at the entrance of the cave, he had already lost more than a fifth of the energy in his body, and the True Essence in his body was still flowing out, and the loss was inexplicable. Luo Xiu could not sense the direction of the dissipation of the energy at all.
Therefore, Luo Xiu raised his head with a dignified expression and carefully looked at the mountain in front of him. However, when his Divine Sense spread out to the entire mountain, he was shocked to find that this mountain seemed to be extremely strange. If Luo Xiu was not interested in some things of the Earth Federation, he would not have this strange feeling. It seemed that this mountain should be a huge creature.
And this creature was the terrifying creature with eight arms and six heads that the old man had mentioned before.
"System, I'm going in, are you sure there's no problem?"
Luo Xiu was a little shocked. After he recovered at this time, he looked at the cave in front of him and asked the system in his Knowledge Sea.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems.
The system's energy conversion device has been activated. Don't you feel that the speed at which the energy in your body is disappearing has stopped? "
The system explained to Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu carefully sensed and found that it was really as the system said.
After that, Luo Xiu no longer hesitated and directly flew towards the depths of the cave. At this moment, if Luo Xiu was careful, he would have discovered that something was wrong. This was because the moment his entire body disappeared into the cave, he did not see that some blood-red lines had strangely appeared on the stone walls on both sides of the cave. In the blink of an eye, these blood-red lines that were so thin that they could not be seen quickly disappeared.
And as Luo Xiu continued to go deeper into the cave, the strange feeling in his body became more and more intense. His body actually felt like it was being heavily pressured. At the same time, he felt that something was wrong again. Originally, because of the system's intervention, the energy in his body had stopped disappearing. But as he continued to go deeper into the cave, the energy in his body began to disappear again.
When Luo Xiu discovered that something was wrong with his body, he immediately stopped moving forward. Originally, he thought that with the system's assistance and the system's solemn guarantee, at the very least, his safety wouldn't be a problem. However, at this moment, Luo Xiu felt the True Inner Force in his body continuously flowing away and his mouth was bitter. He never would have thought that not long after he entered, something would happen to his body.
"System, didn't you say that my safety is not a problem?
Why is the energy in my body still disappearing? "
After stabilizing his expression, Luo Xiu couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He couldn't help but ask the system in his Knowledge Sea.
"Bear with it for a while!
The system is adjusting the power of the energy circulation system. For a short period of time, the host still has to bear with it!
With the host's current physical strength, even if all the energy in your body disappears, it won't affect you too much. Besides, it won't be for long. It's just a temporary loss of energy. "
The system didn't have any intention of explaining at all. It just threw out such a reason and went to do its work.
At this moment, after hearing the system's explanation, Luo Xiu sighed and could only grit his teeth and accept it.
It must be like what the system said. The current situation had little effect on him.
Therefore, when he looked at the situation in the cave in front of him, he discovered that there were obvious signs of human activity. At this moment, he even saw a strange formation. If Luo Xiu guessed correctly, it was the place where the Jiutian God Clan used to set up the formation.
When Luo Xiu looked carefully, he even saw traces of the formation on some of the stone walls. However, Luo Xiu also discovered that because the people of the Jiutian God Clan seemed to be in a hurry when they left, Luo Xiu understood from the traces left behind that the people guarding this place should be very rough and directly took away the formation on the stone walls. The reason why the strange energy in the cave was so terrifying was also because of this.
The strange energy that could devour Luo Xiu's body became thick and sticky. The most direct result was that Luo Xiu didn't dare to go deeper.
Now that he stood here, he could clearly feel that even with the system's strength, the strength in his body was still constantly declining in the face of this strange energy.
Luo Xiu carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that the environment here wasn't as he had imagined. The cave was filled with darkness and dampness or evil energy everywhere.
Although this place had the strange energy aura, Luo Xiu also discovered that there were some plants living here.
Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel a little surprised. If it were other things, he wouldn't have thought much about it. However, all plants had vitality and the cave was filled with the strange energy aura that could devour any energy.
Therefore, Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel surprised that there were still some valuable plants in this place that could devour energy aura.
With this thought, Luo Xiu hurriedly took two steps forward and pulled out the grass-like thing that grew in the corner.
This was a plant with four leaves.
Whether it was the appearance of the grass or the shape of the leaves, it was just an ordinary plant. But what Luo Xiu couldn't understand was how this thing could survive in such a harsh environment. Moreover, Luo Xiu also sensed that this strange energy didn't exist in the body of the grass. This made Luo Xiu puzzled. He couldn't believe that this kind of grass didn't have any energy in its body. How could it survive in this cave? Luo Xiu didn't know what was going on.
"System, please help me check this plant in my hand and see if there's anything strange about this plant. Why can't I feel any aura in its body?
Logically speaking, this thing is obviously a plant, right?
Why is it that in its body, whether it's the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, or the strange aura of this place, there's no trace of it? This matter is a little strange. "
Luo Xiu could not help but sigh as he could not figure it out. He voiced his doubts to the system in his sea of consciousness. At the same time, he hoped that the system could give him an accurate test of what was so strange about the plant in his hand.
"There's no record of this plant in the system's database. However, the system can be sure that this plant is extremely unusual. Boy, you should put it away first.
When there's time in the future, we'll study it again. For now, let's see what's in the depths of the cave.
The system has now adjusted the power of the energy conversion system, so you can rest assured and go down boldly. This time, there won't be any problems. The system's life detection instrument also didn't detect any signs of life. Host, go in and take a look. I'm also curious about what's in there. "
The system's answer surprised Luo Xiu, but he quickly reacted. Now wasn't the time to worry about these details. He couldn't help but excitedly put away the thing in his hand. After that, Luo Xiu began to slowly go into the depths of the cave.
Along the way, Luo Xiu found a lot of traces left by human activities. He also found that there were some claw marks on the mountain walls on both sides of the cave from time to time. It seemed to be made by some kind of sharp animal claws.
However, when Luo Xiu continued to move forward, he was shocked to discover that not only were there densely packed animal claws on the mountain walls, there were also some that looked like human weapons. Only now did Luo Xiu become serious, and at the same time, he once again felt that the things in the cave were not like what the old fellow had said before. Now that he thought about it carefully, the old fellow seemed to be trying to lure him into the cave, and was probably eager for Luo Xiu to come to the cave. This caused Luo Xiu's vigilance to increase greatly, and only now did he understand that he was still a little too inexperienced.
"System, can you identify the battle traces in the cave? Of course, it's best if you can determine the age of these things!" After thinking seriously for a while, Luo Xiu realized that some of his previous thoughts were a little naive. "System, can you identify the battle traces in the cave? Of course, it's best if you can determine the age of these things!"
Originally, he was just curious. However, he had no choice but to take the situation seriously.
"I'm sorry. Apart from being able to determine that these traces are more than a million years old, I can't determine anything else.
The System is unable to determine anything else. This place is filled with these strange energies that can directly affect the environment. Therefore, it is impossible to deduce anything from these signs. Just the dense strange energy in this place is enough to cause the environment to not follow the laws of nature.
This system is not omnipotent, so you should be careful. Just as you said before, there is something wrong here. "The system in the sea of consciousness said to Luo Xiu with a serious face.
