Chapter 394

In front of them appeared a huge iron door, ancient and heavy, covered with rust and traces of time, as if it had witnessed countless years of wind and frost.

The surface of the iron door was engraved with complex patterns, which revealed a mysterious luster in the dim light, as if they were some kind of ancient runes.

The surrounding walls were covered with green vines and moss, and some trickles seeping from the rock crevices gathered into small pools on the ground.

A few fallen leaves floated on the water, swaying gently.

There were several cracks in the top of the cave, through which faint light could be seen penetrating from the ground, bringing a glimmer of hope to this dark space.

"The traces of excavation here are very rough, and it has been a long time."

Changsheng on Baizhu's neck saw this scene, looked at the surroundings suspiciously, and pondered: "It looks like a thief's hole."

"A thief's hole?"

Hearing Changsheng's words, Jialiang was stunned and hesitated: "Speaking of which, there are indeed legends about treasure nearby here; it might have been dug by the Treasure Hoarders."

"Looking at the tools left around, it indeed has this function."

Baizhu nodded gently and said: "But why would these Treasure Hoarders leave even their tools behind and abandon them here?"

"Senior sister was a latecomer; she should have found the prescription to treat Jialiang here."

"Let's continue forward."

Saying this, Baizhu walked over first and soon arrived in front of the iron door.

Collei reached out to touch the cold surface of the iron door, as if wanting to feel some stories of the past from it, and hesitated: "This door is built a bit delicately and sturdily; I'm afraid it's not something the Treasure Hoarders could build."

"But this big door also has no key; it can be opened with a gentle push."

While speaking, Collei gave a gentle push, and the iron door opened.

As the iron door was opened, it made a low and long sound, and a stream of stale air surged out accompanied by faint light.

Everyone discovered that what was displayed in front of them was a small camp that had been abandoned for a long time, hidden among the rocks, as if quietly telling stories of the past in countless lonely nights.

Although this camp was small, it was laid out delicately, and every arrangement revealed the care taken in the past.

Wooden chairs were overturned on the ground, their surfaces weathered, but one could still feel the warmth of people gathering together in the camp back then.

Soft light leaked from the oil lamps, and although it flickered, it brought a trace of warmth and vitality to this desolate space.

In a corner of the camp, a pill furnace was placed, its outer wall covered with vines and dust, obviously having not been used for a long time.

Beside it was an incense burner, with incense ash piled up inside, as if telling of the piety and tranquility of the past.

Around these stoves were scattered some bottles and jars, which might have once been filled with precious medicinal herbs and spices, but now only empty containers remained, forming a sharp contrast with the prosperity of the past.

In the center of the camp, there was a dilapidated tent, the fabric of the tent already damaged beyond recognition, with broken strips of cloth fluttering at the edges.

The space inside the tent appeared crowded and messy, with a small bed and some daily necessities piled up at will, telling the bits and pieces of the life of the former owner of this camp.

Although the whole camp appeared messy, it couldn't hide the stories and history behind it.

This was once the dwelling place of some hermit or explorer, who studied and rested here until one day, all activities came to an abrupt end, and the camp was abandoned.

Now, except for the occasional wind and sparse light, there was no more hustle and bustle of the past, only silence and memories.

"I, I've been here."

Looking at the surrounding environment, Jialiang felt familiar yet strange, her brows furrowed slightly: "But specifically, I can't think of it.".......

"What's lit in the incense burner is incense used to expel monsters."

Baizhu had already checked the incense burner simply and pondered: "The incense has been burned out for a long time; logically speaking, this place should attract monsters, which is why this incense appeared."

"That iron door should be used to block monsters."

"And senior sister should be deeper inside........"

"Let's go."

Lin Mo walked downward, recalled, and said: "There should be hidden monsters here."

If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be a very large Geovishap here.

After Lin Mo spoke, everyone followed Lin Mo and went deep into the depths of this cave.

Eventually, they arrived at a very spacious place and stopped their footsteps.

Everyone's eyes were attracted almost simultaneously to those huge, crystal-clear crystal minerals.

These crystals emerged from the ground, like the brightest stars in the night sky, emitting a subtle and mysterious light.

The radiance of the crystals appeared particularly bright in the depths of the cave; they not only illuminated the surrounding environment but also added a fantastic atmosphere to this space.

The colors of the crystals were different; some were like deep blue seawater, clear and transparent; some were as deep as violets, flashing with mysterious brilliance; and some were like fresh emeralds, sprinkled with vitality. These crystals grew in strange forms, some sharp like swords, some blooming like flowers, beautiful enough to take one's breath away.

"How could there be a Geovishap here?!"

Although the environment here was very good, Hu Tao was still attracted by the huge Geovishap in the distance, which was a full three or four meters tall, and took a deep breath secretly.

What a huge Geovishap.

It wasn't just Hu Tao who gasped; Baizhu's expression also became solemn.

This was a Geo-elemental Vishap, with the potential to become a dragon, very terrifying, and even if he encountered it, he might not be able to deal with it.

Moreover, the size of this Geovishap was far beyond everyone's imagination, enough to make any intruder feel awe, its scales around its body looking like they were carefully pieced together from countless rock fragments, the texture hard and rough, each scale seeming to contain the traces of time.

It lay there quietly, its limbs thick and powerful, as if four stone pillars were supporting the heaven and earth of this cave. Its head was wide and majestic, and the wisdom hidden under its closed eyes was deep. Its wide back was like a piece of unexplored territory, reflecting the crystals in the cave, emitting a mysterious aura.

The Geovishap's tail seemed to merge with the rocks in the cave, lying leisurely among the azure crystals, its every breath accompanied by faint stone sounds, playing the most primitive movement of nature together with the dripping water echoing in the cave.

Although it was sleeping, one could feel a potential power from its every breath, as if it could wake up at any time and show its true power.

In this cave, the Geovishap was like an ancient guardian, sleeping in its own territory, guarding the surrounding treasures from being discovered by the outside world.

Its existence added a mysterious and solemn atmosphere to the cave, making this place not just a desolate cave, but more like a holy land protected by mysterious power.

And behind the Geovishap was a pool surrounded by crystals, the water surface calm as a mirror, reflecting the rocks on the top of the cave and the roots covered with moss.

Some strange plants grew on the edge of the pool, their leaves revealing a verdant luster under the radiance of the crystals, full of vitality.....

The whole scene was like a carefully arranged painting, each part containing the uncanny workmanship of nature and unknown secrets.

A faint magic power permeated the air, as if telling everyone that this was not just a cave, but a secret realm full of miracles and possibilities.

"It's the aura of the remnants of the Archons."

Baizhu frowned and said: "I understand why the Treasure Hoarders who excavated this place didn't pack up their tools and left; because there are remnants of the Archons here, and the current remnants of the Archons have grown and fused with this Geovishap, forming a very terrifying monster."

"And this monster has been sleeping here all along."

"And those minerals are crystal veins formed by the remnants of the Archons, emitting an evil aura, and are also good things for nourishing the Geovishap."

"It's troublesome."

Baizhu's brows were tightly locked; now it seemed that this Geovishap had grown so terrifyingly along with the remnants of the Archons, its strength must also be terrifying.

"Look over there."

When Baizhu spoke, Lin Mo had already arrived silently at the pool behind the Geovishap.

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the people on the scene looked over hurriedly.

They saw a woman lying beside the pool, her hand tightly grasping the minerals formed by the remnants of the Archons.

The woman had her back to everyone, as if in deep thought.

Her hand was tightly grasping a huge crystal, which emitted a faint blue light, like the remnants of an Archon left in the world, containing incredible power.

The woman was wearing a long dress, the hem of which was spread out on the rock, blending with the natural colors in the cave.

Her attire was simple and elegant, without gorgeous decorations, but revealed an extraordinary texture from the details. The collar and cuffs of the long dress had exquisite blue patterns, flashing slightly with her breathing, as if echoing with the crystal she was grasping.

Her hair was spread out on the dark rock, strands of soft hair rubbing gently on the stone surface, quiet and mysterious. Her posture was elegant and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow her awake, yet it revealed a tenacious and unyielding temperament.

"Jiang Li!"

"Senior sister?!"

Seeing this woman, Jialiang was very excited; it was indeed Jiang Li.

And Baizhu was also pleasantly surprised.

"Boom!"

Just then, the air suddenly solidified, and a deafening roar pierced the tranquility of the cave; it was the roar of the ancient Geovishap waking up from its slumber.

With this roar, the elemental power in the cave seemed to be activated, the light of the crystals became stronger, and the surrounding air was filled with a sense of oppression.

The eyes of the sleeping Geovishap opened suddenly; they were like two burning red coals, revealing a violent and ancient light.

The rock-like scales trembled on its body, every movement releasing a suffocating power.

Seeing this Geovishap that had suddenly woken up, Hu Tao and Baizhu's expressions changed, and Collei also subconsciously took out her bow and arrow, her Dendro Vision flashing with light, subconsciously making combat preparations.

This kind of terrifying monster was definitely not simple.

However, before Hu Tao and the others could act, at this critical moment, Lin Mo took a step, calm as water.

With a casual flick, a sword shadow flashing with cold light whistled, and the sword forged by the Luofu Artisanship Commission was instantly performed by Lin Mo using Jingliu's sword arts.

Lin Mo's figure flashed lightly in the air, almost in the instant everyone failed to react, a terrifying sword light swept across the Geovishap's body.
