I reacted instantly and said coldly: "Li Xia, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean, don't you understand it now?"
Li Xia snorted coldly and said proudly: "To tell you the truth, the purpose of bringing you here is to get this dragon essence and blood!"
"When I step into reincarnation, I will lose all my cultivation and need to start over. With this dragon essence and blood, I can not only restore my original cultivation, but also become immortal and transcend the world of Yin and Yang. superior!"
I frowned: "So, the puppet before was your handiwork?"
"good!"
Li Xia nodded and admitted happily.
"Not only the puppet, but also the man-eating eagle in the back and even the anaconda in the swamp were all brought in by me!"
"When I was defeated at the hands of that Gumantong and sneaked into your country secretly, the Gumantong refused to let me go and sent an anaconda to hunt me down. This made me hide in Tibet and was very embarrassing."
"Later, I accidentally discovered the existence of dragon veins, so I led the anaconda into the swamp and trapped it inside. Only then was I able to get rid of it. But I didn't expect that the anaconda would occupy the swamp, even me. You can't even get inside."
"That's why I pretended to join forces with you, but actually I used your power to get rid of the anacondas and enter the swamp. It seems that my plan was perfect and I deceived all of you, hahaha!"
After revealing all his intentions, Li Xia couldn't help but laugh wildly with pride.
"Cheng Yi, if you want to blame, just blame yourself for being stupid. I just used a little trick to make you trust me very much. It seems that you are still too young!"
Listening to Li Xia's ridicule, I felt extremely angry.
I had doubts about Li Xia before, but he helped us get through difficulties many times and saved me from the mouth of a man-eating eagle. I was moved and gave up my doubts about him.
But I never thought that all this was his plan!
"Li Xia, hand over the dragon essence and blood quickly!"
I shouted loudly and rushed towards Li Xia.
Bai Ze, Lonnie, and Jing Jing were already furious, and they simultaneously moved to surround Li Xia.
"Hehe, although you guys are pretty good, it's not that easy to catch me!"
After Li Xia finished speaking, he put his toes on the ground and ran towards the door.
Unexpectedly, Li Xia had hidden his strength before and ran very fast. He soon left us far behind. Seeing that he had already reached the palace gate and was about to break through it.
Once he escapes from the swamp, it will be even more difficult for us to catch him.
Just when we were anxious, there was a sudden roar and the ground of the palace began to shake violently.
Following this violent tremor, the giant rat stone statue guarding the door suddenly started to move!
I saw the stone statue raising the giant sword in its hand high and slashing it down at Li Xia, unstoppable.
Li Xia had been focusing all his attention on us. He never expected that the stone statue would suddenly come to life. Before he could react, the giant sword had already struck his waist.
Click!
Li Xia was originally a skinned figure, how could he withstand this sword? He didn't even say a word before he was cut in two sections by the giant sword in the stone statue's hand, and the bottle in his hand rolled to the ground.
I rushed over and picked up the bottle and held it in my hands.
At the same time, a black mist emerged from the severed shadow puppet and continued to fly towards the door.
The giant rat stone statue roared angrily, and a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out, holding the black mist tightly in its hands.
The black fog cleared, and a wrinkled old man appeared in the palm of the stone statue. This was Li Xia's true face.
"Mr. Cheng, give me a chance, I am willing to cooperate with you unconditionally..."
At this moment, Li Xia was held in the palm of the stone statue. He kept struggling but could not break free. He could only look towards us for help.
And I stood quietly aside, with no intention of stepping forward to help.
After the lesson just now, I have gained experience. These surrender masters from Southeast Asia are all treacherous and selfish people and cannot be trusted at all. If I help them now, I will be really stupid.
Besides, this zodiac stone statue is so powerful, even if we want to save it, we may not be able to save it.
"Save me, save me..."
Li Xia was desperately calling for help. The giant rat statue exerted a strong force, and I heard a popping sound. Li Xia's body was crushed alive and turned into a ball of blood mist. Not even a trace of his soul was left.
After getting rid of Li Xia, the giant rat stone statue slowly turned its head and began to focus on the few of us.
At the same time, I also noticed that the other stone statues began to tremble slowly, as if there were signs of resurrection.
Once all the twelve zodiac stone statues are resurrected, we will have to explain everything here. At this time, unless we run for our lives, what else can we say?
Without any other nonsense, I directly blasted a thunder and fire talisman at the stone statue. When the stone statue didn't react, I shouted to Lonnie and others to run, and ran out the door.
The thunder and fire talisman exploded on the giant rat stone statue. The giant rat roared angrily, raised its giant sword and chased us.
Fortunately, what I did just now delayed it for a few seconds, and everyone took advantage of this to run out of the palace and rush towards the entrance.
The entrance is very narrow. Even if the stone statue is chased out, it will definitely not be able to get in. In this way, we will be saved.
After running for a while, I heard no movement behind me. When I looked back, I found that the stone statue had not come after me. The door of the palace was still ajar, and there were waves of angry roars coming from inside.
Hey, those guys didn’t follow?
I'm a little curious. Could it be that there is some kind of restriction in the palace that causes those stone statues to only move inside the palace and not leave?
We can't care about that much. The most important thing for us now is to leave here as soon as possible and hand over the essence and blood of Youlong to Mr. Hu San. The night will be long and the dream will be many.
Following the previous path, we got out of the cracks in the rocks and climbed up along the whirlpool. After a while, we left the swamp.
The road after that was not dangerous. We returned to Harbin smoothly, and then traveled day and night to the Neiwutang headquarters to meet Mr. Hu San.
When I handed over the Youlong Essence and Blood, a look of extreme surprise appeared on Master Hu San's face.
"Cheng Yi, well done!"
"With this dragon essence and blood, we will have a little more confidence when facing a hundred-year catastrophe."
I was very curious, so I asked Mr. Hu San what the role of the dragon essence and blood was, and why it could prevent a hundred-year catastrophe.
"I will tell you everything when you bring back the contents of the other two entrances to the dragon vein."
