Chapter 417, Ancient Map
"I've done everything I can," Lu Feng said in a deep voice, "The rest can only be done by themselves."
Zheng Ba and Xing Qi looked around and felt the fluctuations of many formations. They immediately reacted. They had almost lost their true nature in the illusion before. Fortunately, with the help of these formations, they avoided the risk of becoming possessed. People couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Lu Feng.
But they were grateful, and they still didn't approve of Lu Feng, the new prison officer. After all, the impression of hanging around the theater during the day was really bad.
"Where is the man in black?" Xing Qi looked at the messy traces of fighting around him, with a bit of caution in his eyes.
"Let her run away," Lu Feng said calmly, and then went straight back to the prison room.
Xing Qi watched Lu Feng walk into the prison room and couldn't help but mutter: "He is too cold-blooded. Brother and the others are still in danger, but he is as calm as a normal person."
Zheng Ba shook his head, sighed, and said: "Actually, what he said is right. After entering the illusion of inner demons, eldest brother and the others can only rely on themselves. If he hadn't set up several meditation formations, I'm afraid we would still be here now." In the illusion.”
Xing Qi's face showed confidence, and he said a little stubbornly: "Even without these formations, I am confident that I can get rid of my inner demons."
Zheng Ba ignored Xing Qi's words and looked even more worried. The illusion of inner demons affects one's character according to the level of strength. The higher one's cultivation level, the easier it is to lose oneself when facing inner demons, and the easier it is to get trapped in them.
The two of them have made some progress in strength after emerging from the illusion of inner demons, and they are only one last chance away from breaking through to the Five Elements Realm.
But no one knows what Wang Wei and Shan Wu, who are trapped in the illusion of inner demons, are facing at this moment. Outsiders can only see that their faces are bright and dark, happy and angry, and their foreheads are covered with beads of sweat. , and sometimes veins exploded.
…
Lu Feng returned to the prison room, opened the windows on both sides, and began to clean up the dust left by Bai Li in the room. Although the dust had lost most of its threat at the moment, the spiritual energy would still be affected to some extent when touched.
Tables, stools, cabinets...
Lu Feng finished cleaning up one by one and found a broom to sweep away the residue on the ground.
Suddenly, Lu Feng stared at a gap in the floor under the cabinet. There seemed to be far more dust residue here than elsewhere, and even after sweeping it with a broom, there was still a lot left in the gap.
Why is this?
Is it hollow under the floor? !
Such an idea came to Lu Feng's mind, and without any further thought, he immediately moved the cabinet away from the floor, leaned over and lightly tapped the ground with his hand to check.
Dong dong dong~
After several investigations, Lu Feng found that as he expected, the floor was hollow, and judging from the sound, it seemed that the space was quite large.
Moving the floor, Lu Feng released his soul and sensed the surrounding environment. Below was a storage room about two or three meters high, similar to a cellar. After finding no danger, Lu Feng jumped down and used his spiritual energy to activate the cellar. Several lighting jade stones embedded in the wall light up the space.
"A small prison officer actually collected so many things!"
Lu Feng was shocked by the things stored in the cellar and couldn't help but curse the former prison officer.
The cellar is filled with countless soul coins, at least close to ten million at a glance. You can imagine how much bad money the previous prison officer Xia Xuhua made over the years.
In addition to the soul coins, what surprised Lu Feng was that there were nearly twenty soul weapons in the cellar. Although their grades were only between the Dan Condensing Realm and the Condensing Plate Realm, these were not prison officers. That's all you can have.
Although Lu Feng no longer looked down on these soul weapons with his current strength and vision, he still searched for them with his soul consciousness.
Suddenly, his soul consciousness scanned a wooden box in the southeast corner and stopped. A smile appeared on Lu Feng's lips, he stepped forward and took out a piece of armor from the wooden box.
Heart armor!
I didn't expect that this last piece of heart-protecting armor would be here.
When he first came to Tianyuan City to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition, Tang Yuan's Soul Fighting reward was a heart-protecting armor. After being ambushed in Zifeng Forest, he was injured and damaged. He found a light yellow piece sewn into the heart-protecting armor. The cowhide cloth handkerchief, upon inspection, should be a broken ancient map.
Later, in Fuxi Village, the exact same heart-protecting armor was found on Fu Maotian's body, as well as a broken ancient map.
After the two were spliced, the ancient map was still missing the last piece.
Lu Feng picked up this third piece of heart-protecting armor. Except that it was slightly more defensive than the previous two pieces, there was no difference. Perhaps it was precisely because it had the defensive power to withstand the level of Condensing Plate Realm that Xia Xuhua did not give it away. Or treat it as a prize, but keep it.
Lu Feng circulated his spiritual energy, held the Fu Xun carving knife in his hand, easily cut through the heart armor, and took out the third fragment of the picture. He then took out the other two fragments of the Qilin ring and spliced them together. The seams were in perfect harmony. , a complete map comes into view.
Lu Feng began to look at the map carefully.
There is a red star-shaped mark in the center of the map. According to common sense, it is most likely that this map is intended to guide, but it is unknown what treasure is hidden there.
There are only simple schematic diagrams of mountains, rivers, and forests around the star-shaped mark. It is impossible to tell where exactly it is on the continent, nor can it be determined in which era this ancient map was carved, or the terrain on it. After years of baptism, how much accuracy can be left?
Lu Feng sighed slightly. It was impossible to distinguish the specific location from the mountain topography. There were only a few words engraved on the entire map, and only the three words "Arm Cloud Mountain" could be clearly distinguished.
After some consideration, Lu Feng put the ancient map into the Qilin Ring. Not to mention what was hidden in the star-shaped mark, even if he knew it, he would not have the time to look for it right now, let alone protect his heart. Kai doesn't even have the defense of the Five Elements Realm, so how rare can this map be?
As for the other Horcruxes, Soul Coins and other objects in the cellar, although strictly speaking they should be regarded as stolen goods left by Xia Xuhua and should be handed over to the Spirit Prison, Lu Feng asked himself that he had never regarded himself as a real prison officer and there was no need to comply. Due to the pedantic rules of the Spiritual Prison, the main reason why he agreed to be the cheap prison officer was to investigate the vampires in Tianyuan City.
All of them were collected into the Qilin Ring. Although he could not use these soul weapons, his students could use them more or less. If not, they could be sold or exchanged for training resources.
Returning to the prison room, he restored the floor to its original state and looked towards the courtyard. The sky was gradually getting brighter, but Wang Wei and Shan Wu were still trapped in the illusion of their inner demons.
Zheng Ba and Xing Qi clenched their hearts tightly and guarded the whole night. Their anxiety and worry made them look extremely tired.
"No, my second brother's spiritual energy is gone!" Zheng Ba suddenly shouted. "What should I do? If my spiritual energy can't keep up, I'm sure I won't be able to fight my inner demons." Xing Qi was pacing back and forth nervously.
"We can't just wait, I'll transfer the spiritual energy to him," Zheng Ba felt anxious and was already confused.
Xing Qi stopped and looked at Zheng Ba hesitantly and fearfully, "Third brother, the aura of such a transition has too many impurities. If there is any mistake in the second brother's acceptance, you will all suffer the backlash."
"You can't control that much anymore. Do you want to just watch something happen to your second brother?"
Zheng Ba spoke resolutely, without any regard for his own life, and raised his hand to stick to Shan Wu.
"stop!"
Lu Feng pushed open the door and walked out, stepped in front of Zheng Ba and stopped him. He shouted loudly: "If you raise your hand, both of you will die."
"You don't have to worry about it," Zheng Ba glared at Lu Feng without putting down his palm.
"Use this," Lu Feng took out a low-grade Origin Stone from the Qilin Ring and threw it to Zheng Ba, while saying, "I am your prison officer after all. Even if I am going to die, your lives can only be sacrificed in the line of duty."
Zheng Ba subconsciously took the Origin Stone, his eyes so full of shock that he couldn't hear clearly what Lu Feng said next.
Xing Qi on the side listened, and while shocked, his view of Lu Feng couldn't help but change a lot.
Xing Qi was already ranked last, and he only had a few brothers in his eyes. He didn't care what Lu Feng's character was, whether he was upright or not. Even if he was a murderer, if the latter could save his brothers, let alone repay his loyalty, even if he was a murderer. He wouldn't even frown if it cost him his life.
Seeing Zheng Ba stunned and at a loss, Xing Qi quickly said: "Third brother, hurry up, second brother can't hold on any longer."
Zheng Ba came back to his senses and immediately activated his spiritual energy to activate the source stone, transferring the pure spiritual energy contained in the source stone into Shan Wu's body.
However, due to the poor technique, a lot of pure spiritual energy was wasted during the extradition.
Lu Feng looked heartbroken. Although Zheng Ba had reached the peak of Condensation Realm, his control over spiritual energy was far inferior to that of his students.
With the extradition of pure spiritual energy, Shan Wu's complexion gradually returned to normal, and his previously frowning eyebrows relaxed. It seemed that the help of the Source Stone was of great help to him in dealing with his inner demons.
The sky was already bright, Shan Wu's body trembled, a strong energy of the five elements emitted, and then his limbs slowly began to react, and he finally came out of the inner demon illusion.
Zheng Ba disconnected the Origin Stone and wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a hint of joy on his face.
"Second brother, great, you are finally fine," Zheng Ba and Xing Qi looked at Shan Wu happily.
Shan Wujie laughed for the rest of his life, but when he saw Wang Wei standing motionless next to him, his smile instantly faded, "Brother, he hasn't come out yet?"
Zheng Ba and Xing Qi nodded.
Only then did Shan Wu notice that Zheng Ba had consumed most of the Origin Stone in his hand. He contacted the pure spiritual energy that suddenly came from when he was fighting against the inner demon, and asked happily: "Third brother, when did you get the Origin Stone? Thanks to you this time, come on, let’s help my brother out of trouble.”
Zheng Ba glanced at Lu Feng awkwardly and explained to Shan Wu: "This... this is from Lu Feng... no, it was given by the prison officer."
Shan Wu looked at Lu Feng. Although he didn't doubt what Zheng Ba said, he was a little suspicious in his heart. Would a lazy prison officer who wandered around theaters be so kind? Taking out such precious Origin Stone to save the life of an ordinary subordinate?
