Chapter 12653 Underground Palace

Chapter 12653 Underground Palace
After all, obtaining the Heart of Water means he must go deep into the swamp where giant crocodiles lurk.

That means he will have to face these ferocious monsters and may even have to fight a life-and-death battle with them.

However, despite the hesitation and concerns in his heart, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with determination.

He took a deep breath, as if to absorb all his courage and determination into his body. He knew that for the sake of the Heart of Water, he had to take a risk.

So, he no longer hesitated and fully unleashed his strength. The power of the Fiery Dragon Soul condensed into a mighty fire dragon behind him. With a low shout from him, the fire dragon roared and pounced on the dozens of giant crocodiles.

However, what Ling Xiao never expected was that after these giant crocodiles felt the terrifying power of the Fiery Dragon Soul, they actually scattered and fled into the depths of the swamp.

Their figures quickly disappeared in the mud and water, as if they had never appeared.

Looking at the giant crocodiles that were fleeing quickly, Ling Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.

He thought there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that these giant crocodiles were so afraid of his flaming dragon soul.

This made him have deeper confidence in his own abilities, and at the same time he was full of anticipation for the challenges he was about to face.

Without thinking too much, Ling Xiao raised his hand and waved it, and a terrifying energy burst out instantly. This energy was like a violent storm, violently sweeping the muddy water in the swamp.

In the face of Ling Xiao's powerful strength, the mud and water seemed to become light as a feather and were easily drained away, revealing the true scene beneath the swamp.

At the bottom of the swamp, a stone gate stands quietly.

It fits perfectly, like a perfect work of art. Even under water, there was not a single drop of water on the stone door, making it look extremely mysterious. Ling Xiao stared at the stone door, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart.

He jumped down without hesitation and landed beside the stone door. He carefully observed the stone door and found that there were no other mechanisms or locks except for some ancient runes carved on it.

These runes emit a faint light, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

In addition, Ling Xiao also noticed that there was a sealing formation arranged around the stone gate.

This formation isolates the stone door from the outside world, making it impossible for water to penetrate. Ling Xiao's heart moved, and he guessed that someone might have hidden something here.

At this moment, the Fire Cloud Stone in his hand suddenly reacted strongly again. It seemed to have been summoned by something, and it vibrated violently, as if it wanted to escape from Ling Xiao's grasp. Ling Xiao's eyes condensed, and a strong sense of excitement surged in his heart.

"It seems that the Heart of Water should be inside this stone gate." He whispered to himself.

Ling Xiao searched in this swamp for several days without the help of a guide, relying entirely on his own feelings and sense of direction.

He had experienced many hardships and dangers. Now, he had finally found the Heart of Water, and his heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

He knew that the wait and efforts at this moment were worth it. He was about to finally get the Heart of Water he had always dreamed of.

With Ling Xiao's attainments in formation, it was no problem for him to break this sealed formation. He looked carefully and saw the runes on the stone door flickering with a faint light, as if telling a dusty history.

He waved his hand gently, and an invisible force surged out from his hand, accurately touching the hidden connection between the runes.

After a moment, the stone door made a low roar and slowly opened, revealing a dark passage.

Ling Xiao stared at the passage, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart. He knew very well that the more peaceful a place seemed, the greater the danger it often concealed.

To ensure safety, he released a humanoid puppet and let it explore the way first.

This puppet was carefully crafted by him. It not only has powerful combat capabilities, but can also provide him with important information at critical moments.

The puppet walked slowly into the passage with steady steps, while Ling Xiao followed closely behind, keeping a distance of about a hundred meters.

The passage was pitch black, as if it had swallowed up all the light.

However, for a warrior like Ling Xiao, darkness could not block his vision. With a faint light flashing in his eyes, he could easily see through the surrounding scenery.

The passage was silent, with only the puppet's footsteps echoing. Ling Xiao was on edge, always ready to deal with any possible danger.

He knew very well that there might be unknown traps and mechanisms hidden here, and if he was not careful he might end up in an irretrievable situation.

However, along the way, apart from the occasional strange noises, they did not encounter any substantial danger.

This made Ling Xiao feel relieved, but at the same time he became more alert. He knew that the real danger was often hidden in the calm, and he couldn't take it lightly.

In this way, Ling Xiao walked forward carefully. After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the end of the passage. The originally dark scene suddenly became bright, and a group of buildings appeared in front of him.

This complex of buildings was buried deep underground, like a forgotten world. Ling Xiao stared at the complex of buildings, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart.

He knew that there must be some secret hidden here, and he was about to uncover this secret.

This complex of buildings lies deep underground, like an ancient world forgotten by time.

An atmosphere of vicissitudes and mystery pervades the building complex, and the traces of time are deeply engraved on every brick and stone.

The walls are covered with emerald green moss, which contrasts sharply with the ancient stone and adds a bit of vitality to this quiet space.

In the center of the building complex is a towering palace with intricate patterns carved on the tall lintel. Although it has experienced the vicissitudes of life, it still looks solemn and dignified.

The roof of the hall is covered with thick dust, as if covering up a piece of dusty history.

There are several small buildings and pavilions scattered around, some high and some low, in a staggered arrangement. Each building has its own unique style, some are simple and elegant, some are majestic and bold, as if telling different stories.

There is a winding path in the middle of the building complex, with lush vegetation on both sides, and occasionally you can hear the sound of gurgling water in the distance.

There is a moist and fresh scent in the air, which makes people slow down their pace unconsciously, wanting to savor the charm of this ancient world.

Walking through this complex of buildings, it feels like traveling through time and space and returning to the distant ancient times. Every detail is full of the weight of history, which makes people have a strong interest in the stories behind this complex of buildings.

But compared with these scenes, there are some less harmonious and somewhat terrifying scenes.

There are many dead bones here, most of which died in fighting with each other and still retain the same appearance as before death.
