Chapter 2371 Blindfold
"How come there are dozens of them? Isn't there only one entrance to the secret realm?" According to their past intelligence, there was only one. But now, there are shining spots all over the city in Panlong Ruins, and they look quite evenly distributed.
"An illusion." Perhaps the previous adventure teams only found one. Now, with the misty exploration, the other entrances to the Panlong Ruins' secret realms have nowhere to hide.
But Mother Earth isn't stupid; these dozens of sparkling spots are a bit too many, clearly something's not right.
Secondly, the two prisoners who were witnesses to the He family father and son's previous two entries into the Panlong Secret Realm swore that the entrance to the secret realm was in the Fuchi Pond in the South Gate Square.
But the sparkling spots in the fog right now don't include Fuchi!
What does this mean? Is the entrance to Fuchi so well hidden that even it couldn't detect it?
It simply didn't believe it.
The Earth Mother snorted and issued an order to the monsters in the South Gate Square: "Focus on searching the pool in front of the Mitian Temple!"
Another order was for the other demon troops to disperse and explore the nearest flashing spots.
So what if there are seventeen or eighteen locations? It has many subordinates, so inspecting them separately is effortless.
A cyclops walked to the edge of the blessed pool, took out a bag of dark red powder from its bosom, and carefully sprinkled the powder evenly over the entire pool, not even sparing the stone pillars along the edge.
This is stone powder peeled off from Mother Earth. It is extremely sensitive to supernatural powers and spells. As long as there is even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy here, it will immediately change color.
The Cyclops didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, for fear that a sneeze would scatter the stone dust.
After sprinkling, let it sit for a moment.
However, it didn't work.
Neither mist nor stone dust reacted when they encountered Fuchi Pond.
"And what about the other highlights?" Mother Earth urged impatiently.
Are these bastards itching for a beating? They've been scouting for ages, why haven't they sent any news back yet?
It urged again, and the demons replied with trembling fear:
Still haven't found it!
Mother Earth had no choice but to be patient and continue waiting.
After a long while, one of the demon armies finally gave feedback:
Following the light, they found a broken stool in a dry well behind a house.
The reason they couldn't be sure for so long was that the well was full of debris and fallen leaves, and the opening was small, making it difficult to go down. The monsters had to search through everything one by one, which was no easy task.
But this well is not the entrance to the secret realm; what's shining is that broken bench.
Another demon army was even more furious; they were searching Zhong Shengguang's former residence.
There's a secret room beneath this house, with a hidden door that's incredibly well concealed. How could the monsters possibly find it? In desperation, they'll have to rely on brute force to break through.
After they violently smashed the house and broke open the secret chamber underground, they discovered that there was half a broken knife inside.
The light is from the knife, not from the secret room itself.
The other demon army encountered an even worse situation. They discovered that the ground in the city was glowing.
What can we do then? We have no choice but to dig it up and search for it.
No matter how hard the ground was, it couldn't be harder than the monsters' shovel-like claws. But as they dug and dug, they unearthed an underground river brimming with water!
The original planning of Panlongcheng was very reasonable, with many underground ditches designed to help with drainage during the rainy season. Many years later, these ditches and channels are still intact and functioning.
After the demon army dug open the trench, they found that it was still glowing inside, so they quickly roused themselves and continued digging.
But after digging and digging, they finally found an embroidery needle inside the mud...
This is absolutely outrageous! No, it's outrageously outrageous!
The worst part is that, in order to prevent these glowing objects from concealing the real entrance, the monsters have to carry stone powder and sprinkle it again.
Still found nothing.
The luminous objects they collected were also handed over to Jade Capital and placed before the Earth Mother.
These appear to be ordinary items found in ordinary households.
However, Mother Earth can easily pick up one or two things, and with a gentle squeeze, they turn into dust and disappear with the wind.
Mother Earth leaned in and took a sniff, and she understood.
"It was taken from a secret realm!" That's why its supernatural power glows as soon as it comes into contact with something.
Every word the Earth Mother uttered seemed to be squeezed out from a millstone, "Very well, this is no ordinary guardian spirit!"
Guardian spirits are different from living people and things. They are usually stubborn, rigid, and inflexible. How do they know how to use this kind of trick?
"Our opponent is probably alive."
The cyclops leader beside him growled and asked for instructions on the next step.
The city of Yujing has three great demon army commanders: the one-eyed giant Tree Eye, the violent bear Chu Ba, and the wolf king Silver Fang.
"Continue the search, investigate the remaining locations as well!" Mother Earth said coldly. "The enemy is trying to deceive us and hide the real entrance."
The demons obeyed and departed. After searching each location, they destroyed a flash of light; it was only a matter of time before they searched all the remaining areas.
But that's the biggest problem: it's clear that Yujing City's opponents want to stall for time.
Why? Can we turn the tide if we drag this out, or can we wait for reinforcements?
If the opponent is truly alive, how could it enter the secret realm? What is its connection to the Panlong Ruins?
Mother Earth recalled what the two prisoners had said: in the past ten years, only the He family's team had entered and exited the Panlong Ruins twice unharmed; all the others had either died or been maimed.
Could it be?
It had only recently arrived from Shaocheng, and the Nine Nether Emperor was tens of thousands of miles away; the chances of him crossing two great empires to get here were slim. In other words, it was most likely that Prince Shen, He Chunhua, was behind it all!
"A bunch of useless trash!" Another little stone golem jumped onto the Bear King's shoulder, pointed at the Panlong Ruins, and said, "Let's go in and see for myself!"
This was also an avatar of Mother Earth. She knew that none of her subordinates were very bright, and to know what was really going on inside the ruins, she had to see it for herself.
The Bear King led the little stone man across the floating bridge and into the Panlong Ruins.
Once inside the South Gate Square, the little stone man gave the order: "Go to the pool!"
The Bear King took a step and walked towards the large pool.
The little stone man gave it a sharp rap on the head: "Are you blind? The Pond of Fortune is on your left! Head towards the temple!"
The sound was loud enough for all the nearby monsters to hear. Fortunately, the Bear King was tough and resilient; if an ordinary person had been hit like that, their brains would have been splattered out.
The Bear King felt wronged. This South Gate Square was full of waterways; wasn't every one of them a pond? And which one was a temple?
It dared not speak its anger, circled around twice, and walked toward the tallest-looking building, guessing that it was probably the temple.
Reaching the edge of the blessed pool, the Earth Mother looked at the enormous stone sculpture lying not far away. It was the statue of the goddess Mitian, now decapitated. The stone head was very close to the water.
"It really is Mitian." The Earth Mother's clone jumped to the edge of the blessed pool and looked down to examine it.
After the stone powder was poured in, the pool water remained crystal clear, but all the fish were dead, floating belly up on the surface.
