Chapter 278 Cultivator Cave Mansion
Death Valley, deep.

A figure quickly passed by and shuttled through the forest.

Qin Hao followed the directions given by Mu Qingqing and searched all the way, but did not see the so-called ruins.

However, she saw several corpses on the road, which must be her companions.

These corpses had long been eaten away by poisonous insects, and only some remains could still be seen as corpses.

Walking through the forest and reaching the deepest part, I saw a desolate scene.

The vegetation here is withered, the land is dry, and there is no trace of vitality or greenery.

There are two sharp contrasts with the forest.

"There are really relics?"

Qin Hao looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

Directly in front, there is a building ruins, and some outlines are still intact.

Most of it has collapsed and been destroyed, leaving only some ruins still standing.

He slowly flew over and landed on the ruins.

On the surface, there are only a few remaining architectural ruins.

In the middle, Qin Hao saw an underground entrance.

Judging from the traces of the entrance, it should be the place where Mu Qingqing and others came to explore.

He entered the entrance directly without hesitation.

I am very curious, is this ruins really left behind by an ancient civilization?
As soon as he entered it, Qin Hao clearly felt something different.

After walking only a few steps, I saw a body lying on the front steps.

He looked like he was Mu Qingqing's colleague, but he was completely unrecognizable, as if he had been eaten by insects.

He frowned slightly and threw the body out.

Then he continued to walk forward, his face thoughtful, observing everything here.

He even quietly probed out his spiritual thoughts, and was surprised to find that there was an unknown magnetic field here that allowed his spiritual thoughts to only detect within ten meters?

"There are oddities here."

Qin Hao's heart trembled and he immediately became vigilant.

Divine Sense can only detect a range of ten meters, which is definitely unusual.

He quietly took out the Eight-sided Han Sword and held it in his hand. There were even nine small flying swords coiled around his body to prepare for the attack.

After walking forward for a few minutes, I saw another corpse with strange poisonous insects lying on it, sucking the flesh and blood from it.

The corpse had long since become a mummy, beyond recognition.

Qin Hao destroyed these little bugs with a ray of sword energy and threw the corpses directly outside.

He became more and more vigilant. There were densely packed with strange poisonous insects around him, some were as big as a thumb, some were as big as a fist, and they looked particularly ferocious.

However, there was a faint light surrounding him, and the sword energy surrounded him, and any insect that came close was crushed instantly.

"His-"

There was a burst of insect chirping ahead.

Qin Hao's scalp felt numb as he listened, and soon he saw a bumpy area with a strange pattern carved on the walls on both sides.

There were actually countless poisonous insects swarming in the middle, and there was only a row of copper pillars on top, just enough for one foot to step on.

"Samadhi true fire, go!"

Qin Hao looked at the countless poisonous insects rolling and crawling in the pit and directly sacrificed a bunch of Samadhi True Fire.

boom!
The flames flew down and instantly ignited a raging flame.

The invisible and qualityless flames instantly burned the poisonous insects inside to ashes, making a crackling sound.

The flame was extinguished and the poisonous insects disappeared completely.

Qin Hao stepped on the copper pillar and walked inside.

Soon we came to an underground ruins.

After entering, he inexplicably noticed waves of strange energy fluctuations.

"Hey, is there a formation?"

He looked stern and immediately noticed that there were traces of the formation here.

Looking around, I saw copper pillars standing around, with various strange patterns engraved on them, as well as various ferocious beasts I had never seen before.

"Is this really leftover from a civilization hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

Qin Hao looked suspicious. Could it be that civilizations hundreds of thousands of years ago knew the formation?
What a mess!

He stood there, looking at the phantoms around him, as if he had stepped into an illusion. "Roar--"

At this time, a beast roar came.

Then a terrifying monster appeared in front, covered in fierce flames.

"Taotie?"

Qin Hao's face changed slightly, and he looked at the monster in front of him in surprise. Wasn't it the ferocious beast recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, Taotie?

It has a sheep body, eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a huge head and a bloody mouth with disgusting mucus, and is staring at Qin Hao greedily.

"Chong!"

Qin Hao drew his sword and struck without saying a word.

With a hiss, the sword energy passed through Taotie's body and struck a copper pillar in front of him.

There was a "ding" sound, the copper pillar glowed slightly, Taotie's body collapsed and disappeared, and the surroundings returned to normal.

Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. It was obviously an illusion just now, but he happened to chop on the copper pillar, causing the formation to be broken.

Perhaps the formation has become dilapidated over the years and cannot be of much use at all.

"Who set up the formation?"

Qin Hao was filled with doubts and confusion.

According to Mu Qingqing, this ruins is likely to be the product of civilization hundreds of thousands of years ago.

He had a trace of doubt in his heart.

After passing through this illusion formation area, Qin Hao came to the deepest part of the underground ruins.

Shocked to see that this place is actually an underground living room?
Directly in front is a hall, which is extremely spacious and surrounded by four stone doors. Some ancient murals and symbols are carved on the walls.

Qin Hao looked at the situation here in surprise. Why did it not feel like a civilization relic, but more like an underground residence?

Who built it and who lives here?
Qin Hao silently observed the murals and symbols, but he couldn't understand them at all. They were not any ancient characters, not even oracle bone inscriptions.

On the murals, there are some ferocious beast totems, as well as some strange creatures, many of which are more like creatures in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

With a hint of surprise and doubt, he came to the first stone door.

The stone gate is extremely thick, weighing more than ten tons. Ordinary people want to push it open unless they find a mechanism.

Qin Hao glanced at it and there was no so-called mechanism at all. It was just a stone door weighing more than ten tons.

Boom!

He pushed lightly and the stone door opened.

For him, a stone gate of more than ten tons is a piece of cake.

When the stone door opens, a stone room inside is revealed.

Is there a stove in the center of the stone chamber?
"This is -" Qin Hao stared at the stove. It looked like a pill stove.
His mind moved, as if he had guessed something.

"Could it be that this is an alchemy furnace?"

Qin Hao walked in and circled around the gray-white stone stove, showing a surprised expression.

This is a stone furnace, like an alchemy furnace.

There are some hidden grids around, with some mysterious characters engraved on them, which are completely incomprehensible, but Qin Hao vaguely feels that these grids may be places where medicinal materials are stored?

Unfortunately, there is nothing in the grid.

There was only dust on the ground and a stone furnace that was suspected to be an alchemy furnace.

Is this an alchemy room?

"Could it be that this is the cave of an ancient monk?"

Qin Hao suddenly thought of this possibility, and his expression suddenly became excited.

The cave of ancient monks?
His eyes fell on the alchemy furnace,
boom--

He was about to push open the lid of the alchemy furnace, but the moment he touched the stone furnace, it turned into countless dust and scattered down, making Qin Hao's expression freeze.

Broken?

Unfortunately, there was nothing left, only ashes, which made him feel regretful.

I thought there was an elixir left by the ancient monks, but in the end, not to mention the elixir, even the furnace was turned into powder.

Nothing.

He checked that there was nothing, turned around and walked out of the alchemy room, and came to another stone door on the right.

Rumbling--

Qin Hao took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy stone door without hesitation.
