Zhi~
Zhuo Li's water arrow technique was like a pool of urine that was about to be exhausted, pouring weakly onto the body of the hard-haired rat.
The mouse, as strong as a porcupine, trembled and looked at Zhuo Li with an even more ferocious look.
Its limbs stepped hard on the mud, and the fur that was somewhat bald due to firing too many bristles made a rustling sound when it rubbed against the weeds.
This terrible prey is finally going to fall!
The small eyes of the hard-haired rat showed human joy, and it jumped up from the ground, biting Zhuo Li's neck with its long front teeth.
As expected, there will be another corpse of a treasure hunter in this wilderness.
However, at this critical moment, a bloody sword stretched out from the side of Zhuo Li's head.
The location and timing are just right.
The wire-haired rat swung its four legs in the air in panic, but it was too late.
The sharp sword was inserted from the mouth, causing sparks to hit the front teeth. It thrust relentlessly into the mouse's abdominal cavity and stirred up the innards.
In just an instant, this extremely tenacious monster lost its breath.
"Hoo, ho..."
"I was saved by you again, Ji Mian."
"The intelligence in the city is totally inaccurate! The person who said that this ruins is only as dangerous as Qi refining level should be arrested and slapped on the butt a hundred times with a big stick!"
Zhuo Li leaned on the stone, his face raised, and his chest heaved violently. He gasped, his expression angry.
Ji Mian exerted a little force on his wrist and pulled the sword out of the mouse's body.
Dark red blood mixed with internal organ fragments continued to flow from the mouse's mouth.
Ji Mian didn't mind it being dirty, so he knelt down and put his hand directly in, groping back and forth.
After a while, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"The blue potion comes in a medium bottle! Come on, Zhuoli, continue!"
Ji Mian threw the blue glass bottle in his hand to Zhuo Li. After catching it, Zhuo Li pulled out the cork without saying anything and drank it down.
Visibly to the naked eye, his face turned rosy, and he said with joy:
"It's great! A bottle of medium-sized blue potion restored less than half of my mana."
"Haha, Ji Mian, leave it to me later! I have to let these monsters know how powerful Master Zhuo is!"
"You should take it easy. Once the mana in this ruins is consumed, it will be difficult to replenish it. Now there is no teleportation array leaving the ruins. We have to go to the tower in the distance to have a look."
Ji Mian held the sword, wiped the blood on the fur of the hard-haired rat, and walked forward.
In the middle of the flat wilderness, a tall mage tower stands. Countless energies come from all directions of the ruins and converge into the colored gems on the top of the tower.
Anyone who comes to explore and hunt for treasures can see it at a glance and feel its majestic power.
"Hey, Ji Mian, don't walk so fast! Wait for me!"
"MoDan, the Sword Immortal is amazing, you have just changed cultivation!"
Zhuo Li restrained his magic power, moved his legs, and tried to keep up with Ji Mian's pace.
Ji Mian ignored the shouts behind him, held the sword slanted in front of his chest, and walked with the wind in his arms.
One day ago, they successfully broke through the foundation building and came to Sanwang City. Under the explanation of the city lord Qi, they learned about the swamp ruins in the south of the city.
From the many people who returned, the two also got a rough idea of the situation of this ruins.
Overall, the risk is not great.
On the one hand, he is confident in his own strength, but on the other hand, this ruins has always been exposed near Sanwang City and is always a hidden danger. After discussing with Qi and the others, the two set off to the ruins.
Then, the nightmare begins.
Not only did the teleportation array disappear quickly after they arrived, the monsters in the wilderness became stronger and stronger, and the tower in the center of the ruins continued to draw energy.
At the beginning, they could kill a monster with one hand while building the foundation. Now, three mice can chase them around.
The only good news is probably that the monsters here can explode things.
Red healing potion, blue recovery potion, spirit stones, crystal cores and even equipment.
This inexplicably made Ji Mian and Zhuo Li feel like they were playing a game.
Unfortunately, they only have one life.
The closer you get to the tower, the fewer monsters there are.
After Ji Mian walked smoothly for 10 minutes, he found a huge open space in front of him.
"There's a situation!" Ji Mian raised his right hand and said solemnly.
"What? Is there a monster?"
Zhuo Li stopped and aqua blue filaments fluttered out of his body one by one.
The weeds that were growing randomly were cut off directly along the roots, and the cuts were extremely neat.
The originally muddy land has hardened and lost its moisture. Judging from the scorched black condition on it, it must have been formed by someone using flames to bake it.
Practitioners of different races gathered here, either setting up stalls, or gathering in groups of three or five, not knowing what they were talking about.
What attracted the most attention of the two people was the center of the open space.
There, a complex and beautiful magic circle slowly rotated, emitting a faint white light. From time to time, a few people walked in and disappeared into the wilderness.
"Teleportation array?!"
Ji Mian and Zhuo Li said in surprise.
In one day, they had a deep understanding of the horror of this ruins.
Not to mention exploring the mysterious tower, even in this wilderness, they doubted whether they could last three days.
"Go back first and ask Sect Leader Wen. This ruins is obviously beyond the scope of what we can handle," Ji Mian said.
"That's right! Maybe there are ancient monsters sleeping in that tower!" Zhuo Li agreed.
The two of them immediately walked over quickly, looking for the right moment, and followed the others into the teleportation array.
A white light flashed, and Ji Mian and Zhuo Li stood there with confused expressions.
"what happened?"
Both of them felt the force of space pulling just now, but at the last moment, this force suddenly disappeared, as if interrupted by something.
The strangeness of the teleportation array also attracted the attention of other practitioners.
"Aren't those the two great counselors of Sanwang City? They are already at level 2!"
A bucket-thick black mamba snake coiled its body, spitting out snake bites, and had a sinister look in its eyes.
It is the deputy city lord of Snake King City, and it is because someone brought back a medicine that can stimulate blood vessels from here.
Different from the Mountain King City, the people in the Snake King City are respected by blood. A body's strength is concentrated in the blood. As long as the blood is continuously stimulated to return to the ancestors, powerful power can be obtained.
"Hiss~ If I can absorb them and purify their blood, maybe I can be on par with big brother! This ruins severely restricts energy, and this is my chance."
"But to be on the safe side, we'd better call in people from other cities. Sanwang City has developed too rapidly recently."
The big snake's eyes flashed with a dark light, and it twisted its body and gradually disappeared into the weeds behind it.
In the teleportation array, the two of them felt an inexplicable chill.
They looked around in confusion, but could not find the source of the chill, but found that a strange man in black robes had appeared in front of the teleportation array at some point.
Under the black cloak, a small white hand stretched out. It held a golden compass and moved it left and right, but the pointer inside was always pointing at the two of them.
"I'm really smart! As long as I wait beside the teleportation array, I can catch the hero!"
"Let's go, brave man! Let's defeat the big devil hiding in the mage tower!"
A soft voice filled with joy came from under the cloak, and an invisible force pulled Ji Mian and Zhuo Li forward.
"It's the Dark Wanderer! She took two people away!"
"What are they going to do?"
In the open space, everyone watched the three people leave without daring to stop them.
They have seen the sword light of the Dark Wanderer, the terrifying rotting corpses and hard-haired rats that break into pieces at a touch, which is too terrifying.
Lina led the two of them towards the tower, feeling happy.
"Hey, what does brave mean? What's going on with the Great Demon King? This is so weird!" Zhuo Li twisted around and shouted.
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot to tell you."
"Didn't you notice? Look at the back of your hands." Lina said.
The two of them raised the backs of their hands, and on them, a cross mark of a sword and a staff was shining brightly.
When they looked at the mark, the information Lin Yuan had left in the mark was also transferred to their minds.
It took a full five minutes for Ji Mian and Zhuo Li to come to their senses. They looked at the figure in front of them with complicated expressions.
This ancient mage tower that had been buried for countless years actually chose them as its inheritors, but they were cultivators!
But they, as brave men, cannot leave this ruins without defeating the Demon King in the Mage Tower.
"Lord Leader, please help us pass the Demon King's Trial!" the two shouted sincerely.
"Leave it to me." Lina said confidently.
Although this time it is a real role-playing game, with her level as a hardcore game player, it is not difficult at all to guide the brave to defeat the devil.
Well, the most important thing was that she secretly looked through Xiaolin's Demon King Trial design drawings in private, and she had already memorized the process by heart.
Hmm, you can't blame her. Who told Xiaolin to hide it so loosely? She found it just by looking for it.
On the way from the clearing to the mage tower, there were more mobs.
Not only mutated wire-haired rats appeared, but also bloated and disgusting suture monsters appeared one after another.
But Ji Mian and Zhuo Li left extremely comfortably.
"As expected of a leader!" Ji Mian praised.
"Tsk, tsk, you can even break through the Three Dogs Slaying God Formation with one sword. Compared with her, Ji Mian, you are so inferior as a swordsman." Zhuo Li said.
I saw the leader whose appearance was hidden under the hood skillfully rolling left and right, swinging a life-size sword with great force, like a ruthless meat grinding machine.
No matter what kind of monster it is, it explodes when touched, and then evaporates into smoke under the demon-breaking light of the great sword.
The two of them followed Lina happily, not realizing the seriousness of the matter.
More than an hour later, the three of them stopped in front of the tower.
"What mission? Leader, did you accidentally say something wrong?" Zhuo Li said loudly.
"Destroy 100 monsters and the mark will turn red to open the tower door." Ji Mian was no longer calm.
They had been in danger several times before and had only killed about 60 of them. 100 of them, I'm afraid they really have to be left in the wilderness.
"That's right. Otherwise the griffons in front of the tower won't let you in. You can't defeat them."
"But you don't have to be afraid. Here, this is the exorcism potion. After drinking it, you will only encounter one monster at a time in these three days."
Lina put two bottles of purple potion in their hands and disappeared without waiting for their reaction, waving her cloak.
Roar!
The three-headed ox-sized griffin roared low, and its powerful momentum pressed against the two people not far away.
Zhuo Li wiped the saliva from his face and said, "Actually, 100 is acceptable."
"Well, there's only one at a time. It's safe. It's just a little bit harder." Ji Mian agreed.
Ji Mian and Zhuo Li decisively drank the potion and walked into the wilderness.
On the top floor of the mage tower, Lina's figure appeared.
She took off her cloak, and her unfettered white hair suddenly fell down, like the white moonlight shining down. The beautiful and delicate little face is slightly red due to excessive rolling, making it even more cute.
"Haha, Xiaolin, I have found the hero! Are you ready to be defeated?"
Lina looked at the figure in the sea of runes in front of her, her eyes filled with excitement.
When we usually play games together, she always loses to Xiao Lin. This time, she will finally win!
It’s not easy, this is a big victory!
"Well done. But there are still many mechanisms in this tower. It will take a long time for the brave to successfully get here."
Lin Yuan turned around and looked at Lina with a smile.
"I, I'm going to guide the brave first."
Lin Yuan felt a little guilty, so Lina grabbed her cloak and prepared to run away.
She had secretly seen all the mechanisms in this tower on the design drawings.
"Wait a minute, leave those five bats to me." Lin Yuan said.
Phew~
A crystal ball flew into Lin Yuan's arms, and the Lina man had slipped out of the tower.
Lin Yuan shook his head, pointed his finger towards the crystal ball, and five scarred and unconscious bats appeared on the ground, returning to human form.
It was Carlos and others!
Compared to before, their bodies were now swollen in more than one circle, with bruises everywhere.
"It seems like they were beaten a lot in Lina's little natural world. It's good to be in a coma, so they can suffer less."
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred up the surrounding sea of runes.
Under the colorful gems on the top of the tower, countless floating runes surged into waves.
In an instant, everything on the mage tower lost its original color, leaving only black, white, and gray.
The runes dragged pale tracks and fell on everyone.
Every time you integrate, your body vibrates.
For a moment, phantoms appeared in the bodies of the five people.
Lin Yuan's eyes closely monitored the physical changes of the five people, firmly protecting the core of their consciousness.
Whether it is Carlos and others, or Ji Mian and others, Lin Yuan's purpose in guiding them to this ruins is ultimately to pass on the talisman formation in the mage tower.
This is a phased result after he has studied the World Gate for so long. It is equivalent to a component of the World Gate and can be carried by living beings.
When visitors like Carlos successfully integrate the talisman array, they are equivalent to carrying the components of the World Gate. Once he returns to the real world, Lin Yuan can summon the world gate through them more quickly.
This is also the way Lin Yuan thought of to deal with powerful enemies in different time and space. Only by dragging them into the spirit world can Lin Yuan defeat them.
"Theoretically, only 5 components can be used to form the World Gate. The best thing is that after the first fusion of this component, it will no longer put pressure on the host. On the contrary, it has many benefits."
"In future research, I can continue to remotely pass through the backdoor, continue to add details to it, and improve this prototype."
Fusion of the talisman formation was extremely painful. Compared to Carlos and others, Ji Mian and Zhuo Li were much luckier.
The so-called Demon King's Trial that Lin Yuan gave them was actually a fine-tuning process.
When the Demon King's Trial is completed, the inheritance talisman array will be in place.
