Then, Ding Ruozhao quickly turned in another direction. After a few breaths, she drew her bow and shot an arrow, and another thunderous sound was heard.
The second rock giant also turned into a pile of rubble.
Ding Ruozhao's face also paled slightly, and her aura weakened in an instant. Her silvery-white hair also instantly returned to its black color.
As for Zhang Ling, at this moment, besides using his flying sword to unleash the Phantom Sword Technique and Giant Sword Technique, constantly attacking the rock giant, he also condensed balls of fist-sized cyan silk threads in his left hand.
These silk threads quickly intertwined and turned into cyan and red colors, condensing into thick vines the size of arms and shooting towards the rock giant.
The vines flashed with cyan and red light and plunged into the ground, instantly bursting out again, turning into thick, blue-black vines that缠绕 around most of the rock giant's body.
Although the vines released by Zhang Ling were imbued with baleful aura, far surpassing ordinary vine techniques, the rock giant's defense was inherently astonishing. A dozen thick vines could only hold it back for a few breaths.
Fortunately, with these brief breaths, Zhang Ling's Giant Sword Technique struck the rock giant without fail.
The rock giant's aura was equivalent to that of an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, but in actual combat, it was inferior to a Golden Core cultivator.
In actual combat, dealing with one wasn't too difficult.
Its attack methods were quite simple. Besides releasing some wind gusts and sandstorms, it had no other means.
However, due to its astonishing defense, it was difficult to make it lose its mobility for a while.
For this kind of giant puppet, the general weak points are mostly located on its head or chest.
Of course, Zhang Ling wasn't sure if this rock giant was a puppet. However, his attack target points were these two locations on the rock giant's body.
However, every time he attacked, it raised its arms to block many sword lights.
But after a dozen giant sword attacks, cracks appeared on the rock giant's arms. As long as it continued for a while, breaking through its defense wouldn't be a problem.
Zhang Ling released vines, constantly harassing the rock giant and restricting its mobility.
He continuously unleashed the Giant Sword Technique to attack. After about a quarter of an hour, with a loud bang, two giant swords crossed and were slashed to the ground by the rock giant's bluestone arms.
The rock giant seemed to know that danger was approaching. Yellow light flashed on its huge body, and large patches of yellow sand emerged, forming a layer of solidified defense.
But before its defense could solidify, a blue light flashed before its eyes, and a giant sword, three or four zhang in size and glowing blue, pierced into the rock giant's huge head.
With a cracking sound, the rock giant's head turned into countless pieces of rubble in the blue light and collapsed to the ground.
Its several zhang tall body also continuously made cracking sounds, instantly turning into a pile of yellow sand and stones of various sizes.
Zhang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, finally solving this monster.
Suddenly, his divine sense moved, and he flicked his finger. A yellow object flew out from the rock giant's pile of rubble.
This was a broken circular bead, with cracks all over it. There were still some residual spiritual power fluctuations, but they were also rapidly dissipating.
This object had become a waste product, but it was covered with tiny spiritual patterns, like runes. It seemed that this was the core of the puppet.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang, for your help."
Ding Ruozhao's voice also entered his ears at this moment. Zhang Ling glanced at this woman, seeing her smiling, without any signs of injury.
He didn't dare to underestimate this woman. Just now, she had erupted with a powerful aura and solved two delayed puppets in a short time.
She was not comparable to ordinary cultivators. If he had been caught in the siege of two rock giants, he wouldn't have been able to solve it easily.
One rock giant was easy to deal with, but the power that could be unleashed with one more shouldn't be underestimated.
Zhang Ling flipped his hand and retrieved the bead, also smiling and waving his hand, saying.
"Fairy is too polite. With Fairy's strength, even without the help of others, it wouldn't take long to solve these three puppets."
Ding Ruozhao didn't say much after hearing this, but she still sized up Zhang Ling with interest.
This Fellow Daoist Zhang, although recruited by her sister, was not simple to be able to solve a rock puppet alone just now.
She seemed to have solved the two puppets simply just now, but that was by using secret techniques, and also the result of her being a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.
Ding Ruozhao looked at Zhang Ling a few times, then stopped thinking about it and looked at the surrounding environment.
"Does Fellow Daoist know what this place is?"
…
Then, the two of them told each other about their previous situations. Their experiences were roughly the same. They were both sucked into the black hole and then teleported to this inexplicable place.
It was just that this woman had entered this building complex first. As soon as she entered this place, she didn't know if she had triggered a restriction and encountered the siege of rock giants.
"What are Fellow Daoist Zhang's plans now?"
"This place is so strange, it's better to leave as soon as possible." Zhang Ling also looked at the surrounding environment and said.
"Fellow Daoist is right. Looking at this situation, the other people are likely to have been teleported to this place as well. And this place only has this continuous group of palaces. Maybe we can find a way to leave."
After discussing a few sentences, the two of them walked together, exploring towards the palace complex.
The surrounding buildings covered a large area, comparable to a small market. Among them, some tall buildings could also be seen, with wisps of spiritual light flashing on them, seeming to have some kind of formation restriction.
Neither of them dared to be negligent along the way. Whenever they encountered such a place, they detoured around it, so as not to trigger any restrictions.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, they didn't encounter any other dangers along the way. The previous rock giants also didn't appear again.
These buildings were very dilapidated, but Zhang Ling discovered that the ground was paved with bluestone of very good quality, and some buildings were inlaid with gold, silver, and other things. It seemed that in ancient times, there were indeed many cultivators living here.
It was just a dead silence, with a sense of desolation and ruin.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling stopped, and a flash of spiritual light burst out of his hand, shooting out a yellow light. This spiritual light circled half a circle in the air and shot into a nearby ruin.
After a loud bang, a huge bluestone, half a person tall, was shot into the air by Zhang Ling.
"What did Fellow Daoist Zhang discover?" Ding Ruozhao also stopped and turned to look at him.
"It's nothing. This seems to be the head of a rock puppet as well."
The bluestone he was holding in the air was covered with dust, but the facial features could still be seen clearly. This was a rock head, and half a broken yellow bead could still be seen inside.
