Chapter 77 Dead End
The rope connecting Yang Xiao and Yuan Ye’s waists was cut off at some point.
However, no trace of Yuan Ye was found within the range of Yang Xiao's immortal soul perception, which means that Yuan Ye disappeared silently.
This made Yang Xiao a little annoyed. He had just paid too much attention to the situation on the white bones and the cliffs, and had never noticed when Yuan Ye disappeared.
When everyone found out that Yuan Ye was missing, they all became solemn.
At this time, Yang Xiao had a premonition. The reason why Yuan Ye suddenly disappeared was probably his own subjective behavior, which means that Yuan Ye was most likely to have left by himself.
This premonition is not unfounded, because Yang Xiao has been activateing his immortal soul perception. Although he is attracted by the white bone and golden eagle because of his attention. But if something else brings Yuan Ye, then Yuan Ye will definitely resist, and then Yang Xiao's immortal soul will be perceived.
If there is something or person in this world that can silently take away a living person under Yang Xiao's perception, then this existence must have extremely strong means of concealment, and it must also be able to launch a surprise attack without Yuan Ye's entirely unaware of it.
Yang Xiao felt that the possibility of this situation was very low.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, Yuan Ye took advantage of Yang Xiao's distraction and quietly cut off the rope and left quietly.
But Yang Xiao couldn't understand why Yuan Ye did this.
"Everyone, I'm not sure whether Yuan Ye left himself or was taken away by some other existence. At this time, we need to listen to everyone's opinions. Should we continue to explore the ruins, or should we give priority to finding Yuan Ye?"
After thinking for a while, Yang Xiao spoke up for everyone's opinions. If he wanted to find Yuan Ye, Yang Xiao would not be able to do anything. After all, he had a compass of heaven. As long as Yang Xiao was willing, he would definitely be able to find Yuan Ye.
But if you do that, it will go against their action goals and may even cause trouble, so Yang Xiao needs to listen to everyone's opinions.
When everyone heard this, they looked thoughtful.
They all knew that Yuan Ye had always had psychological problems. The main reason why he was able to participate in the action with them this time was because he had participated in the last exploration of ancient martial arts ruins and had Yang Xiao nodded, so Yuan Ye was able to join the action with a lot of opposition.
"Young Master, according to our Long Guard's regulations, all operations in field missions must obey the arrangements of the operation command. So the decision-making power of this matter is still in your hands. I personally suggest that we first investigate a small area to see if there are any clues to discover Yuan Ye's whereabouts. The Beast King's vision has not yet recovered, so we can also take this opportunity to fix it."
The mature and steadfast Bao Guoqiang was the first to put forward his own opinions.
As soon as these words were said, most people nodded in agreement.
"Uncle Qiang's advice is good. Hacker, you can immediately remotely control the drone to search the surroundings. Yuan Ye disappeared in the northwest direction, and it should be the direction leading to the ruins entrance. You focus on searching in that direction."
Although Yang Xiao knew that such a search would not bring much reward, as Bao Guoqiang said, the Beast King's vision had not yet recovered at this time, and after experiencing the previous crisis, everyone also needed to fix it, so he agreed with Bao Guoqiang's opinion.
"Yes!" Qin Tian immediately took the order.
His drone immediately headed northwest and disappeared into the fog.
About twenty minutes later, the Beast King Xu Donghu's vision had completely recovered. Qin Tian, as Yang Xiao expected, did not find many valuable clues.
The only thing that is certain is that Yuan Ye entered the ruins.
"Everyone knows the situation. I decided that we will enter the ruins first, and explore the ruins while looking for Yuan Ye." After Qin Tian informed everyone of the situation, Yang Xiao announced to everyone.
"It should be so!" Everyone nodded.
So, the whole group started heading towards the entrance to the ancient martial arts ruins.
According to Yang Xiao's arrangement, he and Bing Jue Ye Zhiqiu were at the forefront of the team as vanguards. The centers were Xuanyi Loulan, the warehouse Zhu Dalu and the hacker Qin Tian, while Qiang Shu Bao Guoqiang and the beast king Xu Donghu were still responsible for the task of cutting off the rear.
After about ten minutes of walking, everyone finally saw the entrance to the ruins.
At the end of the north end of the canyon, a collapsed stone arch came into view. This arch is about ten meters high. Although it has collapsed, it does not affect the majestic and ancient temperament of the arch, but instead makes it look even more mysterious.
There are two huge statues of warriors on both sides of it, which are about ten meters high. The stone sculptures are carved to lifelike, not only showing the mightyness of the warriors, but also portraying the expressions and expressions of the two warriors in a meticulous manner. It makes people feel shocked when they look at them.
Judging from the shape and dress of the statue, Yang Xiao cannot determine which cultivation school this ruin belongs to. However, judging from the residual spiritual power fluctuations on the statue, the carving craftsmanship of these two statues still have many similarities with the carving craftsmanship of the Qianyuan Immortal Realm. This clue also made Yang Xiao feel relieved.
If the cultivation civilization in this world is really completely self-organized, then Yang Xiao’s previous experience will not have any reference value.
"If I read it correctly, this should not be the main entrance of this ruins, but it looks like a prominent side entrance." Yang Xiao said to everyone.
"Such tall stone gate is not the main gate. Isn't that the main gate even more shocking?" Qin Tian asked in confusion.
Yang Xiao smiled without saying a word. He knew that for people in this world, it would never be possible to imagine how majestic and magnificent the true mountain gate of the Cultivation Sect would be.
"Okay, hackers are not the point, so we don't have to worry about whether it is the main entrance. According to the information left behind in the previous exploration, after passing through this stone arch, there is a 900-meter-long corridor. And that ruin is located in the underground world at the other end of the corridor. Although this corridor has been explored several times by the predecessors of the Dragon Guard, we still have to be careful."
Bao Guoqiang reminded everyone not to take it lightly.
Yang Xiao nodded when he heard this and said to Qin Tian: "Hacker, let's release your probes. See if they can draw a 3D model map of the entire underground ruins."
Qin Tian nodded when he heard this, his eyes closed slightly. The next second, more than ten small drones in a sphere flew out of his backpack and entered the corridor behind the arch.
These drone detectors are all newly developed by Long Wei. They have extremely high AI intelligence, can fly independently, and detect terrain through sonar. The detected relevant data will form a 3D model map in Qin Tian’s handheld computer.
Yang Xiao is still very interested in such high-tech things. If you can learn about the topography and landform of the entire ruins through these detectors, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce their risks when exploring.
But this took a long time. Yang Xiao did not plan to wait for the 3D terrain map to be completed before starting the action. He planned to explore while waiting for the terrain map to take shape.
"Let's go! Let's wait for the results as we go." Yang Xiao waved his hand and led the way into the arch.
At this moment, Qin Tian suddenly said, "Young Master, wait! The detector found that the end of the corridor was blocked by a stone gate! This is a dead end..."
