Chapter 967 Empty Ruins, Mysterious Liquid

Thinking secretly in his chest, Qin Zhe hesitated again and again, and finally withdrew his thoughts from the inner world.

At least for now, his mind flayer is quite calm.

How, exactly, remains to be seen.

And if he really wanted to deal with the mind flayer, he personally didn't have any feasible plan at present.

For the time being, he can only wait for the real self to wake up.

Concentrating his mind, Qin Zhe turned his head to look at the completely quiet palace ruins, and moved his feet to the hollow caused by the collapse in the direction of the throne.

Eyes lowered, the bottom of the hole is pitch black.

There was something down there that I couldn't make out at all.

At this moment, there are no more strange creatures coming out of the void.

But just looking at it at a glance, the dark and empty space gave him a creepy feeling.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Zhe gritted his teeth and stepped into it.

It's rare for the weird creatures to be wiped out by the mind flayers, so what if we don't go down and have a look?

In case there is a "baby" below, wouldn't it be missed?

In the journey of practice, danger and opportunity often coexist.

The more dangerous the place, the richer the opportunities.

Taking risks is a shortcut to rapid improvement, and it is also what practitioners must do to hone themselves.

The moment he stepped into the empty space, Qin Zhe obviously felt a feeling of weightlessness.

On the premise of not using shadow steps to fall, he seemed to be in space, suspended in space.

Frowning slightly, Qin Zheyu made the shadow step vertically downward.

The hollow space, which is much darker than the interior of the underground ruins, is quite deep.

Qin Zheyu made the shadow step fall for more than two minutes before his feet finally felt down-to-earth.

With his current cultivation level, it takes more than two minutes for the shadow walk of the Imperial Envoy, and he can cross the entire Haicheng in minutes.

The hole was ridiculously deep.

When it landed on the ground, Qin Zhe looked down.

Into the eyes, is a touch of dry loess.

Look around again.

Although the visibility at the bottom of the cave was pitifully low, Qin Zhe spied a dilapidated building close at hand.

Different from the luxurious and expansive architectural style of the palace, the dilapidated architectural style is older.

And the layout is very small, suspected to be a residential house.

Walking up to the dilapidated building, Qin Zhe soon found that the dilapidated building he first saw was next to another dilapidated building.

Here, used to be a town?

Qin Zhe frowned slightly, and walked around without rushing into the dilapidated building to check.

Sure enough, there are similar dilapidated buildings everywhere in the empty space where you can't see your fingers.

There are a large number of dilapidated buildings that look like residential houses and are evenly distributed, resembling a town.

so……

Those weird creatures that were suppressed under the throne of the palace were originally intelligent creatures with human settlement behavior?

Reminiscent of what the Mind Flayer said, the existence of weird creatures is quite different, and they have powers similar to those of mind demons and sky demons, Qin Zhe can't help but speculate.

The strange creatures I encountered were not born that way, but experienced some kind of mutation.

With the idea of ​​investigating temporarily, Qin Zhe picked a dilapidated building nearby and entered to check.

The interior of the dilapidated building was heavily dusted.

Obviously, the weird creatures that climbed up the ruins of the palace one after another before did not live in these dilapidated buildings, but simply wandered in the empty space.

After looking around in the dilapidated building, Qin Zhe found that there were many traces of intelligent creatures living around the building.

In a separate room, he saw the remains of many broken stone jars, and even saw half a stone bowl.

It is not difficult to see from this that the people or creatures who originally lived here were not low in intelligence, but they were quite primitive.

After confirming the internal condition of the dilapidated building, Qin Zhe chose to leave.

Residential, nothing to see.

He came to find treasures, not archaeology.

If there is a real treasure in the empty space, it will definitely not be hidden in an ordinary dwelling.

After searching around in the lonely and empty space, Qin Zhe finally found a building that was much larger than ordinary dilapidated buildings and resembled a tile shed.

Seen up close, the tile shed is nearly half collapsed.

But the intact part is quite well preserved.

Even at the position facing the main entrance, you can see decorative items that seem to be dead branches hanging on the beams of the house.

Walking into the tile shed, Qin Zhe saw a stone platform that was probably an altar at the edge of the collapsed tile shed.

This altar stone platform can be said to be the most complete thing he saw after coming down to the empty space.

It is worth mentioning that there is a groove in the center of the stone platform, which contains a liquid that is no different from clear water, and the liquid emits a faint light in this endless darkness.

It was because of the faint light emitted by the liquid in the groove of the stone platform that Qin Zhe noticed the existence of the stone platform for the first time.

Stepping up to the stone platform, Qin Zhe lowered his eyes.

Before he had time to look at the liquid, his inner world suddenly throbbed.

Qin Zhe was somewhat surprised by this strange behavior.

With his thoughts thrown into the inner world, Qin Zhe soon noticed that the source of the throbbing came from a small soil bag next to the source pool.

Under the soil bag, there are buried bud seeds that Qi Lingpotian planted according to his wishes, and Qi Lingpotian even scooped "water" from the original pool to water it.

Qin Zhe didn't bother to complain about Qi Lingpotian's behavior of "watering" the bud seeds.

To his disbelief, the bud seeds not only throbbed, but also affected him through the inner world.

Mind once again withdrew from the inner world, and Qin Zhe's eyes fell on the groove of the stone platform.

The throbbing of the bud seeds came very suddenly.

But it is not difficult to guess that its throbbing is due to the unknown liquid in the groove in front of it.

Bud seeds, are they related to this liquid?

Qin Zhe made a guess, but he couldn't make up his mind.

This liquid is definitely not ordinary.

Its shimmering light is not counted, including the tile shed where the altar stone platform is located, the buildings at the bottom of the empty space are seriously dilapidated and decayed.

Only God knows how long this land boundary has existed.

If the liquid in the groove of the stone platform of the altar is really ordinary, it should have dried up long ago.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Zhe waved his hand directly to cover all the liquid in the groove with the power of the stars, and brought the liquid back to the inner world with a thought.

Almost at the same time that he entered the inner world with the unknown liquid, there was a clearer throbbing from the bud seeds buried beside the source pool, and there was a hint of longing faintly mixed with it.

Sure enough, the bud seeds are connected with this liquid?

Qin Zhe was very surprised, hesitated for a while, and poured the liquid on the soil bag.

The liquid fell to the ground, as if it had evaporated, and instantly melted into the soil bag and dissipated invisible.

Immediately afterwards, the slightly raised soil bag burst, and a sprout poked its head out from it.

Seeing this, Qin Zhe stared.

He asked Qi Lingpo Tian Haosheng to take care of the bud seeds, just to see if he could plant them alive.

But to be honest, he didn't expect to be able to grow this thing alive.

If this thing can be planted alive, it should have been planted in the palace long ago.

Now being watered with liquid, the bud seeds germinated directly!

this……

I have to say it's a bit intriguing.

The bud seeds are closely related to the collapse of the palace in the ruins, indirectly releasing the strange creatures in the hollow space.

According to Qin Zhe's understanding, the bud seeds should be similar to the world-suppressing tortoise carrying a spiritual habitat, and the meaning of existence is suppression.

However, things seem to be not as simple as he imagined.

The bud seeds not only throbbed due to the liquid in the empty space, but also grew fresh shoots directly after being watered.

No matter who built the palace, they definitely planted bud seeds, but they didn't grow.

At this moment, the bud seeds germinated due to the liquid in the empty space.

Obviously, it does not belong to the palace, but to the empty space that is suppressed below the palace.
