Chapter 279 The underground palace collapses
Three days later, Chen Mo absorbed a lot of the wood attribute energy contained in the innate spiritual roots. The innate spiritual roots developed a self-protection function and suddenly shrunk by nearly one-fifth.
Without the support of the innate spiritual roots, the entire underground palace is already crumbling and is in danger of overturning at any time.
But this is not a big problem for Chen Mo. He is deep into the mountain wall now, and even if the underground palace collapses, it will not affect him.
Chen Mo continued to absorb the wood attribute energy contained in his innate spiritual roots. In three days, his wood walking body was about to reach perfection. Such many innate spiritual roots were enough for Chen Mo to cultivate the wood walking body to perfection.
However, at this moment, Professor Chen and his party finally arrived here.
Chen Mo, who was on the mountain wall, couldn't help but frown, and had to temporarily stop practicing to prevent the underground palace from collapsing.
But despite this, the underground palace is still crumbling at this moment, and any external force may cause the underground palace to collapse.
"This is the tomb of Queen Jingjue!" Professor Chen's voice was filled with excitement and excitement.
Dr. Hao's voice sounded with a hint of anger: "Professor, you see that the sarcophagus has been opened. The tomb robbers must have found this place one step ahead of us!"
"Quick, let's go up and have a look!"
Professor Chen's anxious voice reached Chen Mo's ears, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. Apparently, the group began to climb the stone steps.
When the footsteps stopped, Professor Chen's shocked and angry voice sounded: "Why is it empty? Could it be that those tomb robbers didn't even spare the body of Queen Jingjue!"
"Not necessarily, I think this sarcophagus was originally empty!" the man surnamed Hu's voice sounded.
Chen Mo was a little surprised, this man named Hu was quite knowledgeable.
Professor Chen asked: "How can we see it?"
The man surnamed Hu pointed at the sarcophagus and said: "Look at these rotten clothes, most of them still retain their original shape, which means that no one has touched them at all. If the body was stolen, the shape of these clothes will definitely not be so standardized."
Professor Chen nodded: "Brother Hu's analysis is correct. This sarcophagus is probably empty. But where did the body of Queen Jingjue go?"
"I don't know about this. Maybe the queen is not dead at all, or maybe this is not her tomb at all."
Then, the ground shook for a while, and Chen Mo, who was on the mountain wall, could also feel it.
"No, this place is going to collapse. Professor, let's leave quickly!" the man surnamed Hu shouted urgently.
"Quick, hurry up!"
There was another burst of panicked footsteps, followed by loud sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the screams of a crowd.
It seems that the underground palace has collapsed.
"There is a cave there, go in and hide!" the man surnamed Hu shouted.
Then, there was an earth-shattering bang, and all sounds could not be heard.
"They hid in the cave. They probably won't die, but they can't get out. Because we have been together for half a month, I will help you once!"
When everything calmed down, Chen Mo's figure broke through the stone wall and walked out.
Looking at the cave next to him that had been sealed by boulders, Chen Mo pressed his palm on it. He used dark energy. It would take a while for these boulders to break into pieces, creating a scene of natural fragmentation.
Chen Mo looked at the underground palace and found that the corridor he came from was also blocked by huge rocks.
Groan!
With a soft cry, the Heaven-Destroying Sword grew larger in the air and faced the wind. With endless power, it slashed towards the corridor.
Wow!
The corridor that was blocked by huge rocks was carved out by Chen Mo with his sword, leading directly to the entrance of the corridor.
After doing all this, Chen Mo turned back to the stone wall and continued to practice with his eyes closed.
"It's over, it's over, Lao Hu, we are going to be trapped and die here!" The voice of a man named Wang sounded in the cave.
"I advise you to save your energy, otherwise you won't have the energy to go out when you find the exit." The man surnamed Hu simply lay on the ground and said lazily.
Professor Chen felt a little guilty: "Brother Hu, it's me who has caused you trouble!"
Just as he was talking, the boulder blocking the door suddenly loosened, and the man named Wang was overjoyed: "Old Hu, the road is open! Haha, God is really looking after us!"
A group of people cleared the gravel blocking the entrance of the cave, walked out of the cave, and looked at the passage leading directly to the entrance of the corridor. The man surnamed Wang was overjoyed: "I said God is taking care of us, now you believe it! Hahaha...
"
"Is it really God's blessing?" The man surnamed Hu said to himself, otherwise why would such a large-scale collapse leave only one passage!
With doubts and awe in mind, Professor Chen and his party left the ancient city of Jingjue.
Five days later, Chen Mo's wood body was fully formed, and his innate spiritual roots shrank by one-third, but in the remaining part, the wood attribute energy became more pure.
Half a month later, Chen Mo's cultivation base broke through to the fifth level of Qi Condensation, and his wooden body broke through to the peak state.
But that night, the underground palace received uninvited guests. Cai Wenya, Master Jiang and his entourage returned, bringing more than a hundred people with them, carrying various digging tools, and headed straight for the innate spiritual roots.
Standing at the entrance of the corridor, Cai Wenya was full of surprise: "This place actually collapsed. It must have been done by that boy Chen Mo!"
A bodyguard next to him bowed and said: "Miss, that strange tree trunk is also missing. It must have been taken away by that kid!"
"Damn it!" Cai Wenya looked angry, but then became curious: "This kid is really cunning, but how did he take away such a big tree trunk by himself?"
Master Jiang on the side observed the surroundings and said solemnly: "I don't think so. The innate spiritual roots must still be here. I can feel the strong breath of life nearby!"
"Let's go up and have a look!" Master Jiang followed the passage created by Chen Mo's sword and climbed to the position of the cave.
"Look, there is a hole here, and there are traces of digging around it. I guess that kid is hiding in here!" Master Jiang said, pointing to the location where Chen Mo broke through with the Sky-Destroying Sword.
Cai Wenya immediately ordered: "Come up here and dig out this stone wall!"
Immediately, more than a dozen people holding various excavation tools such as battery-operated power converters began to dig into the mountain wall where Chen Mo was hiding.
In the mountain wall, Chen Mo opened his eyes, his face full of coldness.
Bang!
The mountain wall suddenly exploded, and the people who were digging were the first to be hit, and were thrown away by the debris.
Chen Mo walked out with a frosty look on his face.
Seeing Chen Mo, Cai Wenya took a few steps back in fright, hid behind Master Jiang, and shouted at Chen Mo: "Boy, where did you hide your innate spiritual root? Hand it over quickly!"
Chen Mo looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice: "You are so greedy."
"Is this girl greedy, or are you greedy? With such a long innate spiritual root, you actually want to take it all by yourself, and you still have the nerve to accuse me!" Cai Wenya scolded.
A murderous intent appeared in Chen Mo's eyes: "I'll give you one more chance to leave with your people, otherwise no one can save you!"
Cai Wenya was frightened into silence by the murderous intent in Chen Mo's eyes, and Cai Wenya did not dare to speak.
Master Jiang snorted coldly and said with a gloomy face: "Boy, those who see the innate spiritual roots have a share, you and I are half of it. Let's leave now and we will never embarrass you!"
Chen Mo turned to Master Jiang with cold eyes: "It seems that you are the mastermind this time."
"You want to steal something from me, Chen Mo, but you are not worthy!"
