Chapter 385 Volunteering
Ancestor Lei Ming, who had just turned around upon hearing the noise, witnessed his men being killed and was immediately furious.
He clapped his palms, and a lightning seal appeared in front of him, from which countless dazzling lightnings gushed out, and struck at the skinny figure who attacked the female cultivator who had reached the Jindan stage.
Almost at the same time, Dugu Feng's eyes flashed with cold light, and he spit out a black sword magic weapon, whistling towards another skinny figure.
At the same time, Su Zimo also quickly pinched his fingers, sacrificed two talismans, and turned into two light shields to protect his only subordinate.
However, the lightning and the black sword still fell into the air, and the two skinny figures disappeared instantly after absorbing the blood of the two Jindan cultivators, just like before, without leaving a trace.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming's heart sank, and he immediately raised the ring in his hand, and locked Yan Sijing and Xiying with his consciousness at the same time, ready to help at any time.
Wanqi Hong, who was walking at the front of the stairs, also turned around at this time, with a solemn face, and his eyes swept back and forth in the hall on the first floor.
Obviously, he also realized the weirdness of the situation just now. It might not be a good choice to go to the second floor rashly.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn. For a moment, no one dared to move, and no one spoke. The scene fell into a dead silence.
Just when everyone was guessing where the skinny figure would appear, Wanqi Hong suddenly raised one hand and attacked. Three sword lights whizzed out from his hand, rushing towards Xiying, Yuan Ming and the blue-eyed man respectively.
Yuan Ming was startled, but soon suppressed the idea of taking action to protect himself, and let the sword light pass by him.
Three screams rang out at the same time, but this time the injured were not the Jindan stage cultivators present, but the skinny figure that appeared behind Yuan Ming and the other two.
The sword light that Wanqi Hong slashed out was extremely powerful. It only took one strike to cut the three skinny figures diagonally into two. However, despite being so seriously injured, the three skinny figures seemed to be still alive. Although they disappeared after a scream, they did not leave any corpses or debris.
"How did Daoist Wanqi find them?" Fairy Jinxi asked immediately.
"When they appear and disappear, they will produce some spatial fluctuations. Just find the location where the fluctuations appear in advance." Wanqi Hong explained.
Fairy Jinxi nodded, looking like she had learned something. The others did not speak, but their faces were not very good.
The cultivation of each Jindan cultivator requires countless resources from the entire sect, more than a hundred years of time, and various opportunities and luck. They are the backbone of the sect. This time, they entered the Immortal Mansion to search for treasures, but they have not yet obtained any treasures that can be called treasures, but they have all suffered losses, which naturally makes them unacceptable.
Although Wanqi Hong severely injured the three skinny figures, their number would increase each time they appeared. Everyone did not take it lightly and remained alert, ready to continue exploring the tower.
Fairy Jin Xi quickly stepped forward to collect Wen Zaifei's body, her face full of sorrow.
"Hmph, what a waste, I spent so much spiritual stones to cultivate it in vain." Lei Ming Patriarch walked to the body of the female cultivator who had reached the Jindan stage, showing dissatisfaction.
He did not intend to collect the body, but just took the storage bag from the body, picked up the female cultivator's magic weapon, and threw it to Yan Sijing.
"I'll give you her magic weapon. Don't die before I use you next time, otherwise I can't guarantee your sister's safety."
Yan Sijing lowered her head and said yes, but a strong murderous intent appeared in her eyes.
But when she raised her head, the murderous intent disappeared, leaving only fear and confusion.
On the side of the Black Desert Alliance, Dugu Feng looked at the body of the Iron Tower man and was about to step forward, but another black-robed monk standing next to Xiying took the body away.
Dugu Feng was stunned for a moment, and a hint of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes, and then he silently accepted the black-robed monk's actions.
But then, the black-robed monk also took away the body of the female cultivator who had reached the Jindan stage.
"Boy, what do you want to do?" Lei Ming Patriarch was immediately displeased.
"Reporting to the senior, I really can't bear to see a fellow Taoist corpse exposed in the wilderness. If the senior doesn't like it, I will immediately put the body back." The black-robed monk explained in panic.
Lei Ming Patriarch snorted coldly, and it was not easy to say those inhumane words, so he acquiesced to the black-robed monk's actions.
After waiting for half an hour, the previous skinny figure did not appear again.
However, due to the previous incident, everyone lost the intention to continue cleaning up the battlefield. They approached their own sect's Nascent Soul ancestors, and after a rest, they continued to walk upstairs.
Unlike the first floor, the second floor of the tower was much smaller, and there were no stone statues inside. There was only a statue of Master Shura, standing alone in the center of the hall.
The statue looked much younger than the one in front of the tower. The face was still childish, but with a look of sadness.
When Wanqi Hong and others all stepped into this place, the statue's eyes suddenly lit up red, and a silver light formation appeared in front of it.
Then, a voice full of vicissitudes came out from the statue:
"Flowers may bloom again, but people will never be young again. I have practiced for hundreds of years. Although I have glimpsed the great way of immortality, looking back on the past, I often regret because of my inability."
"After entering the realm of refining emptiness, I created my own magical power of illusion array, which can make the past reappear. However, when I revisit the past, I can't find the best solution. Regrets still exist, so I set up a test here. If you can fulfill my unfulfilled wish, you are qualified to inherit my treasure."
When everyone heard the voice left by Master Shura, their expressions were different. Several Yuanying period cultivators glanced at each other, and it seemed that none of them were willing to take the initiative to explore the way forward.
At this time, Su Zimo glanced at the remaining pill-forming monks, and suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Dugu, among the people present, your men are the ones who have suffered the least loss. At this level, why not let the two men under your command... Go up and try?”
"Those are the human wastes you brought yourself. They can't survive now. If you ask me, they are all things that can't be used to support the wall anyway. Why should Fellow Daoist Su cherish them? It's better to use them as soon as possible to avoid fighting later and becoming a burden again. ." Dugu Feng retorted.
"What Brother Dugu said is true, but I am also worried about the disciple's incompetence. If nothing can be found through testing, it will be a waste of everyone's time. It happens that Brother Dugu has many capable people, such as the one who broke the illusion formation before. Maybe he will take the lead this time. It can work wonders." Su Zimo's expression remained unchanged and he glanced in the direction of Xiying.
"What you said is right, Su Zimo, but you made the wrong choice. He should be the one who collected the body just now. Since he has such a bodhisattva's heart, he must be willing to make sacrifices for others." Ancestor Lei Ming laughed.
Dugu Feng's face turned cold, and he was about to retort, but suddenly he heard Wan Qihong agree with him.
"They are right, Dugu Feng, it's time for you to help."
Dugu Feng saw that the three of them seemed to have vaguely reached an agreement on this matter, and his face suddenly turned cold. He also caught a glimpse of Fairy Jin Xi standing next to him without saying a word. Knowing that she could not help in this matter, he had no choice but to speak. road:
"In this case, Xiao Ying, go and give it a try for the seniors."
"Wait a minute, seniors, let me go." Yuan Ming suddenly took a step forward and said.
As soon as he said this, the eyes of several Nascent Soul stage monks instantly fell on him. The eyes of the Dan Formation stage monks present also looked over with different expressions, especially Xiying, who looked at Yuan Ming. There was a flash of complicated emotions.
However, Yuan Ming looked ashamed when facing everyone's gaze, and did not even look at Xiying.
"It's a great kindness for me to help you get out of trouble. I really feel guilty because I missed a valuable treasure before. Now I'm just willing to do my little bit for these seniors, to find out about the reality of the trial, and how to deal with it." Merit atones." Yuan Ming said it with reason and sincerity.
"Okay! You are a man who knows how to repay your kindness. How can we let you down?" Ancestor Lei Ming immediately laughed twice and couldn't wait to settle the matter.
Su Zimo also smiled and nodded, but his eyes were always flickering between Yuan Ming and Dugu Feng.
Fairy Jin Xi glanced at Yuan Ming with a complicated expression, as if she was hesitant to speak.
Dugu Feng, on the other hand, waved his hand without hesitation and said: "It's rare for you to have such thoughts. When you get out of here, you can come to my Black Desert Alliance to receive rewards at any time. If you want to join, I will grant you a point." It’s okay to be the helmsman and take charge of one party.”
Hearing this, Yuan Ming thanked Dugu Feng and was about to step forward into the silver light formation when he was stopped by Wan Qihong.
Wan Qihong turned his palm and took out two talismans and handed one of them to Yuan Ming.
"This object is called the Tongxin Talisman. It is a specialty of the East China Sea. It can last for one day after use. If you die during this period, the other Talisman will also burn with it." After Wan Qihong explained the effect of the Talisman, Then he signaled Yuan Ming to cast a spell to activate it.
Yuan Ming looked at the talisman in his hand and hesitated for a moment, wondering if anything would be exposed after using it.
"I wonder if you can let me take a look at the talisman in the hand of fellow Taoist Wanqi?" Fairy Jin Xi suddenly asked.
After getting Wan Qihong's consent, Fairy Jin Xi took the talisman, used magic power to touch her eyes, and her black pupils suddenly turned golden, like the pupils of a snake and dragon.
She lowered her head and looked at the talisman in her palm. She frowned at first, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
"It turns out that this core rune needs to be carved with special spiritual materials. No wonder the sects in the East China Sea are always trying to hide this rune. I'm afraid they are worried that we will focus on this rune in order to make the destiny talisman. Spiritual material." Fairy Jin Xi looked happy.
Hearing this, all the Nascent Souls were a little curious and wanted to know which spiritual material it was, but Fairy Jin Xi looked at Yuan Ming, changed the subject, and never mentioned the matter.
"Yuan Ming, you can use this talisman with confidence. It can only have a marking effect and has no other side effects."
Yuan Ming nodded. He had no choice. Since Fairy Jin Xi was the guarantee, he quickly activated the talisman and slapped it on himself.
As a blue light flashed, Yuan Ming immediately realized that he had an inexplicable connection with the talisman in Fairy Jin Xi's hand.
When Yuan Ming saw that Fu Lu had no other reaction, he immediately felt relieved and quickly stepped forward and stepped into the magic circle in front of the statue.
