Chapter 274 Entering the Ruins
Hundreds of figures gathered outside the huge red palace, looking at the pitch-black passage and smelling the faint meaty aroma emanating from it, but they did not dare to take a single step people were thinking of backing out and secretly cursing the owner of the ruins for being too insidious. This was just the entrance, but two mechanisms had been triggered and a two-star Dou Zun had died. Who knows how dangerous the situation would be in the future.
Just when people from various forces were hesitating to move forward, Xiao Yun and his group moved and flew towards the dark passage.
Four black-robed figures flew out, attracting the attention of many people. They wanted to investigate, but the Dou Qi barrier on the surface of Xiao Yun and others blocked everyone's prying eyes. They only knew that the four were powerful warriors above the Dou Zun level.
"Is there any Dou Zun who dares to go in? Didn't he see that the old ghost of Yinshan died in there?" A burly man in the crowd said with a sneer. The old ghost of Yinshan he mentioned was none other than the Dou Zun who had died in the flames before.
"If they want to go in, let them in. They can scout the way for us!" More people just watched from the sidelines.
Exploring ruins is not a race. It doesn't mean that whoever goes in first will get the most benefits! Besides, as far as we can see now, the owner of the ruins doesn't know how many traps he has left inside!
Just when everyone was watching with their arms folded, another group of people walked out, causing a burst of exclamations. Compared to when Xiao Yun and his group went in, it was obvious that the latter received more attention. It was because they were a team from the Fenyan Valley, one of the three valleys in Zhongzhou!
Unlike Xiao Yun who was familiar with the ruins level, Tang Zhen dared to go in simply because he trusted the former.
……
On the other side, Xiao Yun and his group ignored the people behind them. The powerful fighting spirit in their bodies was surging. After forming a fighting spirit barrier on the surface of their bodies, they plunged into the flame channel.
"laugh!"
After entering the flame channel and waiting until his figure disappeared from everyone's sight, Xiao Yun released the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame. The pitch-black flame enveloped Medusa and others, isolating them from the extreme temperature in the flame channel.
"Xiao Yun, where are we going next? Should we follow this flame passage?" Zi Yan asked with a frown on her face. She was a demon beast and naturally disliked flames. The same was true for Medusa and Qing Lin beside her.
Staying in this flame channel, although I am protected by the strange fire, I still feel a little uncomfortable psychologically.
"No hurry, just follow me later..." Xiao Yun smiled, standing calmly in the flames, and continued: "Now, let's wait for a while, there are still people behind us who haven't arrived yet."
As soon as the words fell, before Zi Yan and others could ask questions, a dull sound was heard behind them. Looking back, they saw a silver fire dragon moving arrogantly in the flame channel.
"Master Xiao!" Suddenly, a voice came from the silver fire dragon, and then Tang Zhen's figure emerged from the flames and came in front of Xiao Yun and others.
"Master Xiao, aren't you going forward?" Tang Zhen asked curiously when he saw Xiao Yun and the others staying in the flame passage.
"Aren't we waiting for you?" Xiao Yun smiled and glanced at everyone in Fenyan Valley. Tang Zhen brought in not many people, only four, one Dou Zun and three peak Dou Zong.
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Tang Zhen was slightly stunned and said hesitantly: "Wait for me?"
"That's right..." Xiao Yun nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly frowned. He sensed the passage behind him and someone broke in again.
"No more talking, someone is coming, Master Tang, you guys follow me closely!"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yun didn't wait for the other party to speak, and his body fell rapidly. Although the magma below was hot, it could not do anything to the few people who were protected by the strange fire.
Therefore, Xiao Yun and others disappeared in the flame channel in an instant. Although Tang Zhen and others were puzzled, out of their trust in the former, they followed suit and sank into the magma as well.
About a minute later, a slight sound was heard, and everyone discovered that the red magma around them disappeared and their feet were stepping on the cold floor.
Xiao Yun took back the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame, and Medusa and the others hurriedly looked up, their faces immediately filled with shock.
Dozens of feet above their heads, they saw red magma hanging in a twisted and circular shape like giant pythons.
Faintly, one could see human figures flashing by. Obviously, this giant magma python was the flame passage from before.
"Master Xiao, thank you very much!" At this moment, Tang Zhen and his group also landed on the ground, looking at the magma above, with a look of realization on their faces.
No wonder Xiao Yun said he would wait for them there. It turned out that he had already discovered the strangeness of this fire passage. If they really walked along this fire passage, it would take an unknown amount of time to reach the end.
And the end is not an entrance, but a stone wall. Unless you sink into the magma, you will never be able to get out.
"The owner of this relic is really insidious. Did he leave this relic behind just to harm future generations?" Zi Yan couldn't help but said viciously. If Xiao Yun hadn't stopped just now, she would have really followed this fire passage and continued to rush forward.
"Haha, the owner of this relic is really good at manipulating people's mentality..." Xiao Yun also nodded in agreement. According to the description of the original time and space, the Saint of Creation not only left behind a heavenly-level fighting skill, but also insisted on demonstrating it to everyone.
When they reached the depths of the ruins, many strong men died at the hands of the Great Creation of Heaven.
"Okay, let's go quickly. This fire road can't block everyone. There are still many smart people who can come here." Xiao Yun said after sighing.
Then, he moved and flew up like a roc. His body turned into a stream of light and flew towards the square in the distance. Medusa and others quickly followed.
The passage was not very long, and Xiao Yun and the others were so fast that they arrived at the square in less than a few minutes.
Looking up, everyone discovered that the square was not empty. At the end, there was a stone gate, and in front of the stone gate, there were ten straight figures standing.
These figures stood like javelins, their skin was a dazzling silver, their eyes were empty, their faces were expressionless, they were definitely ancient corpses.
"Is this the Earth Demon Puppet?"
Xiao Yun sighed in his heart, but he did not stop, just slowed down a little, and then everyone had to follow. Although it was the first time Xiao Yun saw the Earth Demon Puppet, he was very familiar with it in his mind. After all, it was Xiao Yan's most loyal bodyguard in the original time and space, and it basically existed throughout the middle and late stages.
Even in the later period, Xiao Yan made the Sky Demon Puppet, which originally had a limit of Dou Zun, super evolve and reach the level of Dou Sheng.
If Xiao Yun could not absorb the pill thunder himself, he would probably have to get a few protective gear.
But the ten puppets in front of them now have not reached the level of Dou Sheng, or even Dou Zun. Their bodies are shining with bright silver light. They are only at the peak of Dou Zong and cannot stop Xiao Yun and his companions.
As the distance got closer, when everyone stepped into the stone gate within ten feet, the Earth Demon Puppet, which stood motionless like a sculpture, suddenly made a sound of bones rubbing against each other, and then ten cold gazes were all turned to Xiao Yun who was in the front.
Then, they raised their hands, silver light surged, and ten spears that were also made of brilliant silver light were tightly grasped in their hands.
Seeing the changes in the ten puppets, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they quickly started to use their fighting spirit. They had already experienced the insidiousness of the owner of the ruins, and when they were about to take action, they were interrupted by Xiao Yun.
"Don't bother with them, let me do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soul power at the center of Xiao Yun's eyebrows surged out and rushed directly towards the Earth Demon Puppets. The terrifying soul power penetrated into their bodies and instantly established contact with these Earth Demon Puppets.
"Crack!"
Then, in the shocked gazes of everyone, the puppet that had already rushed forward returned to its position with the sound of bones rubbing against each other, and resumed its previous calmness.
"This... you solved it just like that?" Everyone couldn't believe it. They were ready for a big battle, but it was solved so easily by Xiao Yun?
From the perspective of others, Xiao Yun just raised his arm and the ten strange puppets calmed down again.
"It's not that I solved it, but I recovered them all." Xiao Yun smiled and waved his hand again, and the earth demon puppets were put into the storage ring.
Although he cannot use these earth demon puppets himself, he might as well collect them. They can be placed here as decorations, and they can also guard the Xiao family in the future.
"Master Xiao, you are worthy of being Master Xiao! Your methods are brilliant!" Beside Tang Zhen, several elders of Fenyan Valley flattered him.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a thunderous sound, the originally tightly closed stone door slowly opened, revealing a gap.
Suddenly, a desolate and ancient breath slowly floated out from it, which lifted everyone's spirits. They stared at the stone gate with fiery eyes, waiting for Xiao Yun to give orders.
"Okay, let's go in directly. I checked it out and there is no mechanism."
When the gate was fully opened, Xiao Yun waved his hand and was the first to enter the stone gate, and the others followed closely.
Behind the stone gate is a huge palace that looks like a behemoth. Its grandeur is probably as great as the red palace outside. People standing in it seem particularly small.
Everyone looked around and found that there were many very deep corridors around the hall. They were so dark that one could not see the end.
"Master Xiao, which way should we go next?" Looking at the corridors, Tang Zhen was suddenly in trouble. He looked to Xiao Yun for help, hoping that the latter could give some advice.
After all, judging from his performance just now, Xiao Yun obviously has a deep understanding of this huge palace.
But how could he know that the latter actually only knew a little bit...
Hearing Tang Zhen's question, Xiao Yun, who was half-baked, looked at the bottomless corridor and felt a headache. He said helplessly: "Master Tang, I don't know much about the next road. Let's go by our feelings."
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Tang Zhen was a little surprised, but he didn't think about whether Xiao Yun was deceiving him. After a little thought, he was about to rush in one direction.
"Valley Master Tang, I know one more thing." Seeing the group of people from Fenyan Valley about to rush into the corridor, Xiao Yun hurriedly said, "If you enter the depths of the ruins, do not act on your own. Heaven-level fighting skills are not that easy to obtain!"
I almost forgot to mention that this Saint of Creation has left a "great gift" deep inside.
"Thank you Master Xiao for the reminder. I understand." Tang Zhen turned around and responded, and then the group of people disappeared in the corridor.
"I hope everything goes well..." Xiao Yun shook his head. According to the development of the original time and space, there was no loss of personnel when the Fenyan Valley group came here.
However, because of this variable, Tang Zhen entered the ruins before everyone else, and the result is hard to predict.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Zi Yan, saying: "Zi Yan, it's your turn to exert your strength next! Can you sense which channel has the strongest smell of medicinal herbs?"
His goal was clear, he just wanted the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!
"I can smell a little bit of medicinal scent, but I'm not too sure." Zi Yan nodded slightly, and then a hint of purple surged into her eyes, as if enhancing her talent.
In response, Xiao Yun and others did not urge them, but just stood aside quietly and waited.
After a while, when the stone door behind them began to make noises, Zi Yan finally made some movements. She pointed her little finger at a passage on the left side of the hall and said, "There, the smell of medicinal herbs is the strongest. Also, it seems like something is calling me."
"That's right!"
Xiao Yun's face lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Then let's go! What's calling you is a big surprise!"
"Hmm..." Zi Yan nodded, and immediately led everyone into the passage, running towards what she sensed.
