The skinny boy with a stooped back stepped on the transparent sea of fire barrier and kept approaching the crowd.
Everyone watching this scene shuddered.
Someone looked horrified and murmured:
"How...how could it be possible? How could Xiao Qi still be alive? Wasn't he swallowed by the Fire Spirit Vein River?"
When the fire spirit veins exploded, magma surged from all directions.
At that time, not everyone came to besiege. There were also many people in the Huanglong Adventure Group resting at the camp, and Xiao Qi was one of them.
There is no doubt that everyone left in the camp is dead.
Even the geniuses of the East China Sea Sword Sect are no exception.
But now, the boy who crossed the sea of fire was indeed Xiao Qi from their Jibo Adventure Group. How did he survive?
In other words, why can he survive and why can he cross the sea of fire? Could it be that he also has the same secret as Ji Ning and knows the laws of this underground palace?
The boy, covered in blood and with a hunched back, was getting closer and closer to them.
Seeing his men come back from the dead, Cui Jibo didn't have any happy expression on his face. Instead, he was very stiff, and his pupils shrank to the size of needles. It seemed that the young man's arrival frightened him.
There is no other reason.
It's really because his running posture and jumping look so much like the mysterious skeletal creature they met halfway on the road when they first arrived.
Exactly the same.
Uh-huh!
In an instant, the young man raised his head, with a stiff and strange smile on his gray-black face. His movements were distorted, and he jumped and landed on a transparent platform. The space there was small, and there was already a man holding a giant axe. The strong man stopped there.
The two bodies are stuck together.
Looking at the sudden and strange young man, the man from the Emperor Dragon Adventure Group froze. Before he could ask anything, Xiao Qi suddenly opened his mouth and bit the man's neck with excitement and excitement!
Bah!
Scarlet blood spurted out, and the man screamed in horror. He did not expect that his family would suddenly come to him like this. When he started to use his spiritual energy to resist, he found that he could no longer exert any strength in his hands.
he died.
The man's body shriveled up almost instantly, and a large amount of yang energy and spiritual energy poured into the strange young man's mouth and was absorbed by him.
So in an instant, gusts of dark wind blew around the young man.
Cui Jibo's pupils shrank, and he finally guessed what happened, and shouted in horror:
"It's that skeleton creature, he took away Xiao Qi's body!"
"Run quickly——!"
People were so frightened that their voices changed. They were no longer afraid of the stone formation behind them and jumped in one after another.
Even if you have a narrow escape from death, you still have a chance to survive, but if you are caught by this puppet, you will really have no chance of survival!
"What is this, a sinister thing? It doesn't seem to be a high level. Why did you all run away?"
Guo Jin looked pale and turned his back to the stone formation. He asked in a panic. They had never seen this puppet when they passed through the sea of fire. So Cui Jibo and others later described it to them, They didn't take it to heart at all.
It's very simple, so what if it is a third-stage vagina? The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If such a terrifying monster appears during the earthquake in the underground palace, then all the monks in the underground palace will definitely unite to eradicate this monster.
What's more, Cui Jibo didn't believe in the existence of the monster at all, and he even thought that Cui Jibo and the others were experiencing hallucinations.
They have explored many places in this underground palace and have never encountered any living creatures. How could it be possible that Cui Jibo and others encountered an absurdly high-level femininity as soon as they arrived?
But now, the yin creature took possession of its body and came to them.
The first reaction of Guo Jin and others was to attack.
There are so many of us, why are we afraid of what he will do?
But he didn't expect that Cui Jibo was so cowardly that he broke into the stone formation without looking back. There was almost no way to survive. Could it be that this evil thing was more terrifying than the stone formation?
Guo Jin didn't believe it, nor did the other monks from the Emperor Dragon Adventure Group who were still alive, so they all stayed after hesitating.
All this happens in an instant.
"ah--!"
Heart-rending howls could be heard from the rock formation. There was no doubt that a monk had been hit by the red boulder and fell into the hot magma at his feet.
Cui Jibo was still struggling in it, all his spiritual energy burst out, and he was trapped in a corner. He didn't know how long he could hold on.
At this time, "Xiao Qi" sucked her fingers, and the yin energy around her body vibrated, and she straightened her rickety back, making a clicking sound.
He looked at Guo Jin with a greedy smile on his face.
"Little Mink, why are you wearing such thick clothes?"
"The bad guy must have put it on for you, but don't be afraid, I'll help you take off your clothes."
The young man exuded a thick yin energy. While stripping off his own flesh and blood, exposing the white bones inside, he screamed and lunged at Guo Jin, like a ghost seeking his life. In an instant, the entire lava river was filled with Horrifying mist.
"careful!"
Guo Jin was stunned by the opponent's actions. Facing the soaring Yin Qi, he turned pale and wanted to resist, but found that he could not lift a finger no matter what.
There was a middle-aged monk next to him who reacted faster and took the life-saving magic weapon in his hand early. The moment the corpse puppet pounced towards him, he threw it out and turned into a butterfly shape in the air. The appearance of the hurricane spread outwards, as if it wanted to blow away the yin energy.
The other people also reacted and took action against the evil thing. Only Guo Jin, who was locked, could not move.
clang--!
The white bone claws full of blood and silk threads knocked the butterfly magic weapon spreading hurricane into the magma with one blow. The attacks of the other people failed to stop him for a moment, and they were all scattered by one blow.
Everyone, including Guo Jin himself, could only watch the corpse puppet pounce on Guo Jin with a perverted smile.
Instead of biting it down like before, he raised his index finger, gently cut the fat man's skin, and said hoarsely and excitedly:
"Little Marten, don't be afraid."
"Let me help you take off your clothes. I take off my clothes very quickly!"
…
…
the other side.
Ji Ning carried Qi Lan on his back and arrived at the third level depicted on the map.
Different from the previous empty space, at the end of this land, on the Huo Lingmai River, there is a large bridge. It is made of arched bricks and is buried deep in the bottom of the Huo Lingmai River. It looks very solid.
At the end of the bridge, you can faintly see a dark stone wall with a big circle on it, which is the keyhole.
By opening that stone wall, you can obtain all the inheritance of Futian Sect left by Master Shen Yu!
Looking at the dark stone wall, Xue Zhongjing also looked a little excited.
Is the end finally near?
He knelt down and placed the seriously injured Zhen Xixi on the ground. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Ji Ning in a deep voice:
"Why don't you go to the bridge? Is there something fishy about it?"
"Um."
Ji Ning nodded, pointed at a dark figure at the highest point on the arched bridge, and said solemnly:
"That's a puppet."
"It was refined by the master of this underground palace and has a certain spirituality. Now after so many years, I don't know if it is still alive."
"puppet!"
Xue Zhongjing raised his eyebrows, and a flash of light burst out in his eyes.
Many years ago, when he was wandering around the world, he accidentally obtained a notebook in a tomb. It was very old. It clearly recorded that the puppet sect from an overseas fairy island joined forces with the descendants of Lu Ban. They jointly destroyed a force called Futian Sect, just to find a magic technique called thaumaturgy.
However, even in the end, they succeeded in destroying the Futian Sect, but they could not find the Naqi Technique, and they could not even find the bones of the Futian Sect leader. The inheritance and other items in the sect had been lost long ago. was transferred.
In that notebook, it was speculated that the master of Futian Sect could not run far away, and the place where he left his inheritance must be in this vast mountain. Therefore, all parties joined forces to start searching, using all the skills of Qimen to find pulses, and tortured him severely. Torture the remnants of the Futian Sect.
But until the end, they only got some vague information. They learned that the sect leader often went to a certain location in this mountain, and they didn't know anything else.
So in the end, in that note, only those people's rough guesses about where the thaumaturgy was buried were left. As for whether it was accurate, no one knew.
Xue Zhongjing took a deep breath, thinking about the descriptions of thaumaturgy by those people in that notebook, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The Tao of Puppetry in the World is the number one miraculous technique. Once you know it, you can reach the sky in one step. The puppets you refine can be controlled by a very low level, and can even exert a combat power a hundred times greater than your own!
As long as he can obtain thaumaturgy, he will no longer have to wander around the rivers and lakes like before. It will be easy to be invincible in the vast North County. He may even be able to establish a sect in this mysterious realm!
In today's cultivation world, the puppet lineage has withered away. Except for some ghost cultivators in the southern Xinjiang region who know a little bit about it, its scale is far less than the number of people who practice the formation.
The once glorious sect has long since declined, and if I can find thaumaturgy and carry it forward, then my name will be like the Lu Ban saint in history, and will forever be spread in the world of spiritual practice!
Thinking of that kind of scene, building a statue, being respected by thousands of people, and offering incense for generations, Xue Zhongjing's character has been honed in the world for many years. At this moment, he couldn't help but breathe extremely fast, looking at the people on the bridge. The puppet was extremely excited.
He came to this beautiful mountain originally just to try his luck, but he did not expect that he could find the Futian Sect's inheritance place that had not been found by the monks on the overseas fairy islands.
Now, he is just one step away from obtaining thaumaturgy.
No matter what the puppet on the bridge is, it can't stop him!
