Naturally, Lu Changan would not sit still and wait for death.
The moment the four foundation-building bags came up, he patted the storage bag on his waist.
A leather-armored puppet with a bow and arrow on its back appeared beside him, and a second-level high-grade heavy-armored puppet lined up on Lu Changan's left and right.
Whoosh!
The heavy-armored puppet was the first to attack, flying around and attacking the long-haired and glamorous woman in the late stage of foundation building at close range, forcing the latter not to easily use the black lotus magic weapon to attack secretly.
The young man with a high nose wearing a large cloak smiled lightly, put away the prototype of the magic weapon that consumed a lot of money, and presented a giant axe, a top-quality magic weapon.
Suddenly, the young man with a high nose who was at the peak of Foundation Establishment felt his mind tremble and felt a faint sense of threat.
Hey! Whoops!
The leather-armored puppet who had just appeared opened his long bow, and a blue electric arc flashed on the bowstring. A silver-gray arrow came out of the string, and with the roar of wind and thunder, it pierced his face.
"Second-level top puppet?"
The young man with a high nose was surprised, realizing that he had underestimated his enemy, thinking that he could easily defeat Lu Changan in a group fight.
Feeling the threat of this arrow, he had no choice but to retract the half-flying giant ax weapon and block it in front of him.
There was a roar of thunder, and the arrow exploded, creating a whirlwind.
Several wisps of blue arcs danced on the surface of the giant axe, making the aura dim and unable to threaten Lu Changan.
"I made a mistake."
"This kid is actually a second-level top puppet master?"
Master Hu and Master Tan looked at each other with surprise.
At the same time, he controlled two second-level high-grade puppets and above, exerting considerable power to restrain two late-stage foundation builders.
You must be a puppet master of the same level to do it.
The same puppet is controlled by an ordinary monk and controlled by a puppet master. There is a clear gap between lethality and flexibility.
Of course, since it was one-to-many, the two puppets could only contain the two late-stage foundation builders for a short period of time.
Lu Changan's goal has been achieved.
The silver shield of the best magic weapon surrounds the body, blocking the attacks of the remaining two mid-stage Foundation Establishment players.
He kneaded the secret in his hand, and dark green thorns and vines sprang out from the swamp. Like a python with its fangs dancing wildly, it grew crazily and pounced on the two people in the middle stage of foundation building.
With Lu Changan's current mana strength, the power of wood spells is extraordinary, not to mention the suppression of the state.
The sixty-year-old man and the middle-aged woman, who were in the middle stage of foundation building, were caught off guard and immediately scrambled to deal with it.
"snort!"
Lu Changan's eyes were like lightning, his cheeks twitched, and he opened his mouth to spit.
boom!
A thunderous sound that shook the soul made the eardrums of the two mid-stage foundation builders numb, their energy and blood surge, their internal organs cramped, and their bodies became stiff for a moment.
This technique is the [Thunder Sound Technique] that is more difficult to practice during the foundation building period. Its power depends on the strength of mana and spiritual consciousness.
When a high realm is used against a low realm, the effect is more obvious.
"ah!"
The middle-aged woman's magic power was slightly weak, and her body sank. She was entangled in the lower body by dark green thorns and vines, and was dragged into the poisonous swamp.
Gulu gulu!
After sinking into the poisonous swamp, the middle-aged woman was bound by rattan spells. Her body festered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if she woke up, she was unable to recover.
"Real person help me!"
Another sixty-year-old man who was in the middle stage of foundation building used a secret technique at the moment he regained consciousness. A ball of blood mist erupted from his leg, shattering the two thorn vines wrapped around his leg.
But the remaining large pieces of rattan were scrambling to surround them.
"Bold! How dare you kill my subordinates?"
The tall Tan Zhenren, with a gloomy expression, rolled up the blue glow of his elixir with a palm from the air, and with a "boom", crushed the large thorns and vines emerging from the swamp.
"Thank you Master Tan for saving your life."
The old man in his sixties who was in the middle stage of foundation building was sweating profusely for the rest of his life.
"I dare to ask you two real people, are you still short of people now?"
Lu Changan smiled and stopped taking action.
After he demonstrated his skills as a second-level top puppet master, the attitudes of the two real people changed obviously.
Otherwise, if he kills someone, he will definitely be killed in a rage.
The two real people looked unhappy and stared at Lu Changan coldly.
Previously, they were hesitant when they discovered Lu Changan's skills as a puppet master.
But I didn't expect that Lu Changan would kill one of his subordinates who was in the middle stage of foundation building during a one-on-one fight.
This is the equivalent of slapping two real people in the face in public.
Shi Xianzi's pretty face turned pale, and she looked at the all-too-familiar young face with surprise and uncertainty.
In Wu Qi Mountain, she once speculated that Lu Changan was not simple, but she didn't expect that it was hidden so deeply.
In addition to the Talisman Master, the more difficult puppet skills have reached the second level of the top level.
However, considering that Lu Changan's progress is slow and the years are long, it is theoretically possible to cultivate another hundred arts of cultivating immortals to a high level.
…
After the two real people had a brief exchange, Tan Zhenren said:
"Boy Lu, your identity as a puppet master will help us explore the ruins and break the formation."
"However, if you kill my subordinates, your sin will be irreparable. I will give you two choices."
"Oh? Mr. Tan, please speak."
Lu Changan was not surprised by this. His choice to demonstrate the true skills of the puppet master is a foreshadowing of what is to come.
At that time, he had other options, such as using a treasure talisman to escape, so that False Dan Zhenren could not catch up.
There are unknown variables in doing so, and you may miss the ancient ruins.
If it were a head-on fight with a real person.
This place is located in a deeper area of the Black Mist Mountains. The fighting is too noisy and can easily alert the powerful monsters nearby.
"First, atone with death and pay the price for your arrogance and rudeness!"
"Second, kneel down and admit your mistake, surrender to us, and let Master Hu plant the ban."
Master Tan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his fake elixir-level consciousness locked onto Lu Changan.
"Senior Hu, can you forgive me? Fellow Daoist Lu's puppet helped the ruins break the formation a lot."
Shi Manrong looked at the short old man with a black beard in front of him, bowed and begged.
Snapped!
Shi Xianzi tilted her head, leaving a red and swollen palm print on her fair cheek.
"Give you face?"
Hu Zhenren's face darkened, and he took back the palm that he fanned out.
"You are so ungrateful for sparing your life, how dare you plead for others?"
Feeling the burning pain on his face, Shi Manrong's heart sank to the bottom.
The worst case scenario finally occurred.
Not only Lu Changan wanted to impose a ban, but so did she.
This Mr. Hu was a kind-hearted person when we met him in the past, and he had given guidance on Shi Manrong's formations.
As a third-level formation mage, Mr. Hu has a good reputation and has no rumors of bullying.
However, with the huge benefits from ancient ruins and the loss of the rules of the human world, the formerly approachable senior revealed the dark side of his heart.
"Boy Lu, please give me the answer as soon as possible. My time is precious."
Master Tan's expression was indifferent, and he used the ancient ruler magic weapon.
Lu Changan frowned, turned over his hand and took out a talisman engraved with thunder patterns.
The vague and dangerous aura on the talisman made the three foundation-building monks retreat in fear, showing fear.
"This is a quasi-third-level 'Thunder Talisman'."
Lu Changan held the talisman between his fingers, and the magic power was faintly flowing in his fingertips.
The two real people were startled and then reacted immediately.
"stop!"
Master Tan yelled angrily.
"Master Lu Fu, we have something to discuss."
Hu Zhenren forced a smile on his face and quickly comforted him.
A quasi-third-level talisman poses limited threat to the fake elixir master.
However, [Thunder Talisman] is extraordinary.
The movement of this talisman is extremely powerful!
Once activated, it will alarm monsters within hundreds of miles.
The monsters in the Black Mist Mountains have sharp senses and can even be sensed from a greater distance.
In the surrounding area, there are quasi-third-level monsters, and deeper there are large third-level monsters.
Once such a terrifying existence is attracted, the consequences will be disastrous.
If Lu Changan activates the [Thunder Talisman], it will expose the location of the ancient ruins, which will definitely attract the exploration of powerful monsters in the surrounding area.
When the attention of the two real people was diverted.
Uh-huh!
Master Shixianzi flashed and returned to Lu Changan.
She clenched her silver teeth, with a determined look on her face, and presented a prototype of a golden ring-shaped magic weapon.
Then he turned behind Lu Changan and put his back to his back to prevent one of the real people from attacking Lu Changan from behind.
Seeing her performance in his eyes, Lu Changan nodded secretly.
Master Shixianzi must have given up on seeking refuge.
If you join the two real people, your wealth and life will be at your disposal.
The restriction placed on her by Master Qi decades ago left a deep shadow.
Right now, she is cooperating with Lu Changan, and there is still some possibility of resistance.
"Two real people, if you don't want to expose the location of the ancient ruins, just listen to what Lu has to say."
Lu Changan said slowly.
"Little friend Lu, please speak."
Hu Zhenren looked kindly and made eye contact with Tan Zhenren, feeling a little helpless.
The strength of Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi exceeded the ordinary late stage of foundation building, and the fake Dan master could not kill them quickly.
"In addition to the Thunder Talisman, Lu also has other means to threaten the fake elixir real person."
Lu Changan said slowly.
After hearing this, the two real people looked thoughtful and didn't know how much they believed it.
Lu Changan continued: "We agree to assist the two real people in exploring the ancient ruins. At that time, the harvest in the ruins will all depend on personal luck and ability."
"We have no objection to Lu Xiaoyou's proposal."
Master Tan and Master Hu quickly reached an agreement.
No matter what, let's stabilize Lu Changan first.
…
"Little friend Lu and Fairy Shi, please come in."
On the mountain wall level with the swamp, there is a stone door leading to the ground.
Two fake elixir masters and three foundation-building monks were in a row.
Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi stood on the other side.
The three Foundation Establishment monks looked at the two new members with complicated expressions.
"go in."
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong made eye contact.
They have been waiting for this ancient ruins for many years. At this time, advancing before retreating is the best choice.
The two fake Dan masters would never allow them to leave.
The two of them entered the stone gate together.
Inside the stone gate, there is a tunnel that extends underground.
The further down you go, the more open the ground becomes.
During this time, Lu Changan smelled a hint of the putrid smell of the swamp.
It is obvious that the ancient ruins that the tunnel leads to are located further below the poisonous swamp.
In the process of going down.
Master Tan and Master Hu followed behind, showing no intention of taking action.
Before closing the stone gate, Hu Zhenren strengthened the third-level covering formation outside and added restrictions.
Not long after.
When the tunnel reaches the end, a bright and open underground space appears in front of us.
A group of exotic ancient buildings, shrouded in the dim light of the broken formation, spread for dozens of miles.
After a long period of time, the power of the formation has been lost, and the surfaces of those ancient buildings have also become weathered. In a few areas, there is a scene of ruins with broken walls.
At first glance, it looks like a forgotten ancient city.
"This ruins was once the habitat of an ancient civilization. After countless years of changes and vicissitudes of life, this ruins was discovered by a recent ancient sect and transformed into a refuge and backup treasure house."
Lu Changan recalled the information in the jade tube.
After entering the Black Mist Mountains, Shi Manrong gave him a jade tube and briefly described the general situation of the ruins.
"On the periphery of the ruins, the formation is incomplete and there is not even one out of ten. However, we must still be careful of possible hidden restrictions and traps."
"Inside and in the center of the ruins, there is a relatively complete fourth-order residual formation. It is more powerful than the ordinary third-order formation and is difficult to attack by force. In addition to the formation and restrictions, there are also some unknown risks."
"Back then, Master Qi broke open a key formation gate in the ruins and discovered the 'Yin Yang Water' and the 'Xuan Tian Vine'. Unfortunately, he was trapped in a trap and died."
…
"Fairy Master, the path in this area is about six or seven miles. We have investigated it before and confirmed that there is no danger."
The short Mr. Hu stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed at a gap in the formation outside the ruins.
"There is a big gap in the formation here. I also started from here decades ago. However, the formation in the ruins has a certain automatic repair function."
The two formation mages kept their distance and discussed the formation restrictions in the ruins.
It seems that Master Tan and Master Hu have no intention of taking action anytime soon.
After all, Shi Manrong and Lu Changan are of great use in conquering and exploring ancient ruins.
If they use force, Lu Changan and the two are very powerful, but they will end up dead together, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Once you enter the ancient ruins, you cannot leave easily.
By then, what big opportunity will there be, and you can’t just rely on your fists?
Once the utilization value is drained out, the final settlement will not be too late.
"Two fake elixir masters, including a third-level formation mage, and three strong foundation-building experts will attack the ancient ruins together. The chance of winning and the error-tolerance rate will be greatly increased."
"Where can I find such a lineup?"
Lu Changan thought to himself.
Master Tan led the way, heading towards the central area of the ancient ruins through the proven path.
Along the way, Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi stopped and walked, exploring nearby ancient buildings, gardens, and ruins.
This made the two real people look impatient.
"I have been exploring this area for several months, but there is nothing of value. There is no need to waste time."
Tan Zhenren said bluntly.
Lu Changan understands this truth. This path has been explored twice in decades.
Shi Xianzi and Qi Zhenren met once, but this time is the second time.
If there was any treasure, it should have fallen into the pockets of a few real people.
But out of caution, Lu Changan wanted to find out the nearby geographical environment and investigate possible hidden dangers.
In particular, we must be on guard against Master Hu, a third-level formation mage, who has hidden formation traps around him.
The formations set up by the third-level formation masters pose a considerable threat to the true elixir cultivators.
After exploring for several miles, Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi found nothing unusual.
The restrictions and remaining formations on the path have basically been conquered. The few that are insurmountable should simply be avoided.
squeak!
A ground rock rat as big as a puppy emerged from Lu Changan's spiritual pet bag. Under the instruction of its owner, he went to explore the corners of some ruins.
"What do you call this girl?"
Lu Changan turned his eyes and looked at the long-haired, cold-looking woman behind Zhenren Tan.
This female cultivator's magic technique is the only one among the three foundation-building cultivators opposite that has not been banned.
The domineering Mr. Tan was quite polite to this woman.
Lu Changan noticed that the long-haired woman had paid vague attention to him after learning his identity.
But he didn't dare to look at it directly, he seemed to be afraid and a little curious.
"Friend Lu Dao, you can call me Miss Wei."
The long-haired woman smiled without showing her teeth and bowed.
Master Tan glanced at Miss Wei strangely. Being so reserved and polite was not this woman's style.
Could it be that you have fallen in love with that pretty boy?
With Lu Changan's appearance and demeanor, as well as his powerful methods of staying calm in times of crisis, he is indeed quite charming.
About two-thirds of the way through the explored path, Lu Changan suddenly stopped.
Zhizhi!
In front of a thick half wall of an ancient building, the rock rat waved its paws, showing doubts.
