Xingchou fled away, and Jiang Yuebai's true form appeared on the city wall, pressing his chest and coughing out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Nazhi jumped onto the city wall hundreds of feet high, with concern in his eyes.
"How are you?"
Jiang Yuebai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly, "Today I have experienced the feeling of being strong when many people are strong, and an elephant is killed by too many ants."
The individual strength of these puppets is only in the foundation building stage, and their bodies are very fragile due to weathering, but when they gather in hundreds or even thousands and bombard them indiscriminately, even the golden elixir cannot withstand it!
After taking a healing pill, Jiang Yuebai straightened out his breath and asked Lu Nanzhi, "How are you?"
"I'm okay."
"If I don't get something good this time, I'll be sorry for the mouthfuls of blood I vomited!"
Jiang Yuebai burned the blood she had vomited on the ground with Phoenix real fire to avoid any further trouble. Her blood was not ordinary blood.
Looking around, Jiang Yuebai found that the materials used to make these puppets were still dragon bones, but they were only low-level dragon bones.
Jiang Yuebai picked up a few relatively complete dragon bone puppets and put them away, jumped into the inner city with Lu Nazhi, and picked up a few more flame heavy crossbows under the city wall.
"There are spiritual stone fragments here."
Lu Nazhi called Jiang Yuebai and saw many round totems on the city wall, all of which were dragon-shaped and contained witchcraft inscriptions, with some high-grade spiritual stones embedded on them.
"Xingchou must have activated these puppets."
Jiang Yuebai was not worried that Xingchou would take away the most important treasure, but life was more important than the treasure.
Xingchou is obviously familiar with the terrain here, the mechanisms and even the secret passages, but there is a gap between them in terms of information.
If she pursues Xingchou blindly, she may fall into a trap and lose more than she gains.
It's better to explore slowly. There may not be gold and silver everywhere ahead, but there may be more difficult mechanisms to break and greater dangers.
The two of them walked into the city. The buildings in the city were all very huge, mostly stone houses. On the doors were painted with blood-colored paint a totem of a human body and a dragon's tail, giving it a barbaric and wild feel.
It is visually estimated that the people living here are over three feet tall. You can tell by looking at the height of the door frame.
"Are all giant barbarians living here?" Lu Nanzhi walked into a stone house beside the road and wondered.
Jiang Yuebai followed in and looked through the books on the shelf that broke when touched.
"It's also possible that people in the ancient times themselves were huge."
The books on the shelf looked like they were made of some kind of leaves tied together, like burned paper ashes. They shattered when touched and were impossible to pick up.
Jiang Yuebai found several more animal skins under the shelf, with red text still remaining on them. After opening them, he found that they were the manufacturing drawings of the dragon armored soldiers on the city wall, as well as the drawings of the flame heavy crossbow and other heavy and light weapons.
The two briefly rummaged through other rooms and found some witchcraft animal skins and a large number of similar puppet-making drawings.
Jiang Yuebai took a brief look at the witchcraft animal skins, and based on the familiar witchcraft skins, he inferred that they were all related to raising and controlling dragons.
"It seems that the totem that people here worship is this human dragon tail."
The two walked to the middle of the city and saw another statue with a body and a dragon's tail, which was much smaller than the one they saw before.
After walking not far, the two found a large number of signs of fierce fighting on the side of the road, as well as two normal-sized human bones.
There were only fragments of clothing left on the human bones and no stored magic weapon. Jiang Yuebai searched carefully and found half a token under the collapsed stone house.
"Fu... Long... Fu Long Sect?" Jiang Yuebai picked up the token and identified it.
Lu Nanzhi used his hands to explore the bones, "Although they are far apart, traces of demonic energy can still be found on them. They were killed by demonic cultivators."
Jiang Yuebai stood up, "It seems that someone came in here many years ago. The Black Cauldron was taken out at that time and fell into the hands of the demon Hun Tian. Maybe he also discovered this place from the cauldron. The clues were found just now.”
The two of them stood on the broad main street, at the end of which was a simple and elegant black stone tower, with a dragon carved out of red rock, coiled around the stone tower, and the dragon's head roared towards them with a ferocious face.
As if to warn visitors not to come near.
Jiang Yuebai didn't have much of the Divine Hidden Talisman and Turtle Breath Talisman left, so she needed to save some. She released the puppet clone, and the two talismans on the clone could be activated with spiritual energy.
The puppet clone disappeared and explored the way ahead, with Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nazhi following behind.
The stone door under the black tower was pushed open a gap, and the puppet clone went in first and saw the main hall supported by nine dragon columns. Each column was carved with a dragon, corresponding to the nine dragons.
The floor of the hall is still the kind of marble that can be seen by people. The puppet clone carefully inspects the reflection. As before, there are subtle differences between the dragon in the reflection and the dragon on the stone pillar. There are male and female.
"What on earth does this mean?" Jiang Yuebai muttered, starting to think uncontrollably.
A divine thought controlled the puppet clone to continue walking inside, and saw some traces of battle, and a dragon-armored puppet that had been beaten to pieces, with scorch marks all over it.
This dragon-armored puppet is obviously more refined and higher-level than the one on the city wall.
Jiang Yuebai used his puppet clone to check it out, it was still warm, it was obviously Xingchou's doing.
Further inside, on a circular altar, a road leads underground.
The puppet clone went down first. The stairs were only one foot wide, and there was darkness on both sides. You couldn't see your fingers, and no light could shine in.
All I could feel was the cold wind blowing out of the darkness, accompanied by the echo of footsteps, which made people's hair stand on end.
After walking not far, the dim light in the main hall at the back completely disappeared, and there was no reference point before or after. Only the stairs under the feet hung over the endless abyss, going all the way down, deep into the Nine Netherworld.
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nazhi, who were following behind, were all tensed up, feeling as if there was something huge in the darkness, staring closely at them.
After walking down for more than an hour, the stairs finally reached the end. In front of them was a naturally formed canyon, winding and twisting, with a faint light coming from the front.
The puppet clone continued to move forward, reaching the end of the gorge, and couldn't help but be stunned.
At first glance, Jiang Yuebai thought they were back at the Nine Dragon Heads outside, but upon closer inspection, she found that the Nine Dragons Heads were exactly the same as the surrounding rocks, but there was an extra black coffin in the center of the nine dragon heads.
Nine chains protruded from the mouth of the Nine Dragons and were connected to the black coffin, hanging it in the center of the abyss.
Xingchou was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the abyss, with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.
In addition to Xingchou, there are three white bones of normal human size around him, also sitting cross-legged.
"If you can come here, you are qualified to receive my inheritance."
An ancient voice suddenly appeared in the consciousness of Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi, and the two were immediately locked by a powerful spiritual thought.
The two of them were shocked and immediately retreated, only to find that the stairs under their feet were rapidly collapsing from a high place, forcing them to retreat towards the head of Kowloon.
When they came down the stairs, the enchantment light rose up, blocking the surrounding exits.
"Learn the techniques I teach you and let you go immediately."
The voice sounded again, and what followed was an enlightenment of a large number of Wu Clan texts, forcibly imprinting a complex and profound technique into the sea of consciousness of the two of them.
Jiang Yuebai didn't know if the technique Lu Nanzhi obtained was the same as hers. What was imprinted in her mind was the "Chaos Nirvana Technique".
