After retreating into the giant tower, Luo Hong saw Yuan Yao waiting anxiously at a corner of the passage.
The two of them didn't say anything after the meeting. Yuan Yao led Luo Hong and walked straight towards the depths of the first floor of the Xutian Inner Palace. After passing seven or eight forks, the two of them stopped.
Luo Hong had reached his limit at this time. As soon as he dispersed the black dragon transformation and took back the sea-suppressing pearl, he spit out a mouthful of blood.
He knew without looking that the demonic energy around his heart was corroding his body even more.
What's even worse is that in order to deal with Ji Yin's killing move, Luo Hong used the soul-stealing weapon spirit in the glare magic mirror, which drastically shortened the time for the demonic energy to enter the heart by six hours.
Maybe the situation would be better if he was the only one, but Luo Hong didn't regret cutting off the queen for Yuan Yao. Just because they walked so far on the first floor of the inner hall without encountering a wolf-shaped puppet, they knew it was inevitable. Master the secrets of the Xutian Inner Temple.
It's totally worth losing a little time for it.
"Brother Luo, take the elixir quickly!"
Yuan Yao took out her medicine bottle again.
Luo Hong did not refuse this time. The desperate struggle just now had brought him to the end of his strength. It would be unwise to continue to hold on.
After raising his head and taking two green pills, Luo Hong felt a warm current rising in his belly, and the pain everywhere in his body was relieved.
After adjusting his breath for half an hour, Luo Hong opened his eyes, glanced at Yuan Yao who was protecting the law and said:
"Miss Yuan, thank you for your help. Luo is fine for the time being."
"Brother Luo doesn't seem to be in trouble. Maybe you should tell me the truth. Otherwise, even if you are my elder, I will not continue to walk with Brother Luo without knowing anything."
Yuan Yao was so angry that she actually responded to Luo Hong by saying what Luo Hong had said before forcing her to reveal the truth about being hunted by the Qingyang Sect.
"Before Luo Mou tells the truth, can I ask Miss Yuan why she is so familiar with Xutian Palace?
Miss Yuan must have also noticed that you and I have a special purpose in entering Xutian Palace, not just to find medicine and treasure. "
Luo Hong stood up and said that he had protected Yuan Yao so far just for this moment.
Yuan Yao was a little hesitant when she heard this, but she was not shocked. She had known that Luo Hong had already guessed something, otherwise the questions she asked when collecting herbs in Xutian Secret Realm would not be so strange.
It's like she knows everything, even though that's exactly what it is.
"Brother Luo is still thinking about the purpose of entering Xutian Temple at this time, and the thing he is asking for must be related to your current injury.
Along the way, Yuan Yao has received life-saving grace from Brother Luo many times, and now is the time to return the favor. "
As Yuan Yao said this, she flicked the storage bag on her waist and caught a scroll in her hand.
Now that he had taken it out, Yuan Yao no longer concealed it and unfolded the scroll in front of Luo Hong.
The landscape painting depicted on the scroll was marked with many ancient texts. Luo Hong took a quick look and recognized that it depicted the terrain of Xutian Secret Realm.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Yao cast a magic spell on the scroll, and the mountains and rivers on the scroll blurred into a ball, and in an instant it turned into a circular maze topographic map.
"This thing was obtained from a strange cave I accidentally entered while avoiding the Qingyang Sect's pursuit.
At that time, there was a corpse next to the scroll. I didn't know if he was an ancient cultivator who was incarnation, but I also got an ancient protective treasure from his storage bag. "
Listening to Yuan Yao's explanation, Luo Hong nodded slightly. His eyes kept scanning the scroll, trying to find something like a secret door.
Finally, his eyes rested on the center of the circular maze.
It was very strange there. There was a huge space in the clearly marked center, but the surrounding walls were tightly sealed and there was no passage to the center.
Luo Hong, who was puzzled by the explanation, asked Yuan Yao:
"Miss Yuan, you must have meditated on this picture many times before coming to Xutian Palace. Is there a way to enter this place?"
Yuan Yao looked at the place pointed by Luo Hong, which was the center of the first floor of the Xutian Inner Palace. There was no such strange place in the entire first four floors of the inner hall. She had also noticed it before, so she immediately replied:
"This place is mysterious. I have studied the method of entering out of curiosity. Brother Luo, please look here. Through this passage, you can reach a teleportation array.
If the prediction is correct, that place can only be entered through the teleportation array. "
"Miss Yuan is right, but the wolf's head and snake's head marked on this passage are probably not decoration."
Luo Hong couldn't help but frown as he looked at the blood-red wolf head and green snake head on the scroll.
"That's natural. It means there is an ancient puppet blocking the way. It is said to be very powerful. Even the Nascent Soul stage monks have to deal with it with a lot of effort."
Yuan Yao sighed, put away the scroll, and asked after hesitating for a moment:
"Brother Luo, do you really have to go?"
"We have to go, and we have to go quickly. Miss Yuan, this is Luo's business, so you don't have to follow me. With this map in hand, I believe you won't encounter any danger in this inner palace. Why don't you and I just leave here?" Don’t pass.”
The road ahead is dangerous, and Luo Hong doesn't want to drag Yuan Yao into the water. He has just written down the route, and the map in Yuan Yao's hand is no longer useful to him.
"Brother Luo, what are you talking about? Although Yuan Yao's ability is far inferior to that of Brother Luo, the Qing Leizi in his hand is still quite effective against ancient puppets."
Yuan Yaosu opened her hand and showed Luo Hong the seven or eight green thunder seeds in her hand.
After Luo Hong stared at Yuan Yao for a while, he nodded slightly and said:
"Luo really needed help at the moment, so he excused himself without false pretense. If that place was really the place Luo was looking for, Luo would definitely tell the whole story."
Although the fight with Man Beard and Ji Yin Patriarch only lasted for ten breaths, Luo Hong's mana loss was extremely serious, and he only had less than half of his mana left at the moment.
Considering the possible battles he might encounter after entering the Inverted Tower, Luo Hong must carefully calculate every mana from now on.
It would be great if we could use Yuan Yao's Qing Lei Zi to deal with the puppets blocking the way.
After reaching a consensus, the two advanced towards the target location. Because of the map in Yuan Yao's hand, they avoided passages guarded by puppets along the way.
An hour later, the two stood in front of the target location.
As they crossed the boundary, a dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the opposite side, and then the sounds sounded one after another with a fixed rhythm, obviously the footsteps of some huge creature.
Soon, a giant wolf puppet with gold and blue stripes came out of the corner, its huge size occupying most of the passage.
Because Luo Hong had also studied the Puppet Scripture, he was inevitably a little curious about this ancient puppet, so after the giant wolf appeared, he couldn't help but take a second look and try to analyze its structure.
But Yuan Yao was not as calm as him. She popped out a green thunder seed, and then when the giant wolf was damaged by the green magic fire, several joints were damaged, and it was difficult to move. She used the magic hammer magic weapon and came up. It's a well-prepared hammering technique.
After a "clang, clang, clang" sound, the giant wolf was dead.
Yuan Yao smiled proudly at Luo Hong.
