Chapter 175 Cliff City in the Mist

The teleportation gate opens, and the end of the world is within reach.

The moment Zhou Yuan arrived at the Xingxiu Temple, he immediately used the Five Elements Escape Technique to hide underground.

What surprised him was that as the sect's teleportation center, there was no one on duty here.

When he sneaked out of the teleportation room, he found that there was a spacious treatment room outside the teleportation room.

Not only were there doctors and pharmacists sitting inside, but there were also a variety of blood recovery medicines and antidotes placed in the wooden table cabinets.

In addition, there were no traps inside and outside the entire teleportation room.

But Zhou Yuan could walk underground with the Five Elements Escape, and his perspective was different from that of ordinary people.

He found that although the teleportation room was paved with bluestone floors, there was gravel and soil underneath, which was completely different from the soil and stone structure outside.

"Judging from its depth and width, this should have been a square pit before, but I don't know what objects were placed here."

After a simple inspection of the surroundings, he did not disturb the doctors and pharmacists.

Instead, he quickly sank down, preparing to check the scale and geographical environment of the Xingxiu Temple first.

During this process, he discovered a very interesting arrangement, that is, almost every few meters, there would be a thin iron pillar about three meters long.

This made the underground of the Xingxiu Temple look like a regular chessboard.

In addition, the Xingxiu Temple seemed to have planted a deep-rooted plant that was very suitable for growing in a soil and stone environment.

Zhou Yuan looked up from the ground and saw dense roots, like a fishing net.

"What is the meaning of these arrangements? Could it be some kind of formation?"

After observing for a while, he overturned his guess.

Because the iron pillars were of different thicknesses, good and bad, some of them were only rusted on the outer skin, while others were rusted into slag, and another one was roughly nailed down next to them, like a substitute.

"I understand. They are using a very cost-effective method to defend against earth escape.

With the density of these iron rods, it is difficult for those who only know earth escape to pass through, and those who know gold escape cannot escape underground.

These arrangements may seem clumsy, but they are cheap and only require simple maintenance to be effective for a long time."

Daoist Zhixuan once told Zhou Yuan that he knew the five escapes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, but he had not achieved the five elements of mutual generation and integration to become a five-element escaper.

When escaping underground, it is far less comfortable and unrestrained than it looks to be an outsider.

Since only one of the five elements can be used each time, when encountering tree roots, metal, iron, underground rivers and other objects, you can only bypass them.

If you want to stop earth escape underground and forcibly change to other escape techniques, you will be damaged by the squeezing of the soil.

Therefore, it is not impossible to traverse the underground of the Xingxiu Temple with earth escape, but it will be a step-by-step stop, which seriously affects the consumption of spiritual power.

In addition, the dense tree roots covering the ground area can drive people who normally use earth escape crazy.

Of course, these measures cannot stop Zhou Yuan and Taoyuan Land.

Zhou Yuan has the Five Elements Escape and can travel in all directions, and Taoyuan Land can grab and slap with its earth palm underground.

One of them is like walking on flat ground, passing silently; the other is violent demolition, and it will tear a passage when encountering continuous tree roots.

However, even so, these dense iron pillars will cause Taoyuan Land to lose some of its power, seriously slowing down its speed underground.

"From the perspective of those rusty iron pillars, the Star Temple should have been built for a long time, otherwise there would not be so many rotten iron pillars.

In addition, they should have a secret realm where ironware is produced. If they are transported one by one from the bottom of the mountain, the efficiency is too low."

After wandering around the Star Temple for a week, Zhou Yuan had a certain understanding of it.

Strictly speaking, the Star Temple should be a cliff city. The whole city is built on the top of the mountain, surrounded by cliffs on all sides.

There are only three iron chain bridges leading to other peaks in the fog.

This makes the entire Xingxiu Temple full of emergency exits. As long as you learn a wind control technique, you can slide away from the cliff.

Due to the peculiar topography of Wuyin Mountain, most of the peaks are shrouded in clouds and fog, so the Xingxiu Temple is highly concealed.

For soldiers from all countries, this place is almost an impassable Jedi.

Even if you risk climbing to the top, you can't besiege this cliff city that resists danger.

Another peculiar phenomenon divides the people of this cliff city into two categories.

That is the straw raincoat and fur coat. Because the fog on the top of the mountain is humid, the people of the cliff city wear something to keep them wet when they go out.

Zhou Yuan speculated that those wearing straw raincoats should be ordinary people, and those wearing fur coats should be warriors or management.

In terms of population size, this cliff city is not small, with about two thousand people.

But there is no obvious commercial activity, more like a palace city where most people serve a small number of people.

After Zhou Yuan searched the underground of the city for two quarters of an hour, he found traces of the secret realm in a workshop on the west side of Yacheng.

[Dungeon: Tiejian Villa]

[Recommended challenge level 10, recommended challenge number 10~20]

People coming in and out constantly transported various materials from the secret realm, including food, wine, clothing, furniture, ore, charcoal, and clean water.

This is obviously the economic lifeline of the Xingxiu Temple, and it is also the reason why they dare to build a city on the misty cliffs.

"Strange, the secret realm related to the stars is not in Yacheng.

I thought wrong, other interests are pursuits, but the source of materials is the bottom line."

Although the search did not find the secret realm of the stars, a special building called the Stargazing Hall was found.

There are a large number of documents inside, most of which are books on stargazing and numerology, and the martial arts secrets are all handwritten.

After Zhou Yuan lurked through the wall to the top floor, he indeed discovered the existence of the Star Reshaping Method.

Ziqi Xingjun did not lie to him. There were many annotations on the Star Reshaping Method. Half of the twelve bookshelves on the top floor of the Star Observation Hall were used to store various annotations.

In order not to alert the enemy, he only collected one copy of the Star Reshaping Method and did not empty the bookshelves.

Another building facing the Star Observation Hall was the Martial Arts Pavilion of the Star Hall.

The defense here was the same as the Star Observation Hall. It was a composite structure that restrained earth escape with a layer of iron plate and a layer of wood covered on earth and stone buildings.

But the weapons in the pavilion were not outstanding. They should have been directly taken from the monsters in the dungeon, and some even had traces of repair.

"There shouldn't be no good equipment. Could it be that most of them were transported down the mountain because of the front-line battles?"

Seeing that there was not much money to be made in the cliff city, he sneaked towards an iron chain bridge.

When he arrived near the cable bridge, he could no longer hide with the Five Elements Escape because the thickness of the cable bridge was very limited and he could not sneak into it.

For this purpose, he put on the skin of the god of the temple, transformed into a kind old man, and used the wind control technique to enter a floating state, manipulated two round shields, and moved forward secretly under the rope bridge.

About a quarter of an hour later, a mountain suddenly appeared behind the clouds.

He dived into it again, and after climbing up dozens of meters with the five elements escape, he encountered a new building.

The building was like a watchtower floating in the sea of ​​fog, and there were people stationed inside and on the top of the tower.

A white vortex with various colored light spots floating was spinning inside the tower.

"It turns out that the name of the Star Temple is not taken randomly, they really have a secret realm related to the stars."
