Chapter 446: The Fourth Floor of the Earth Center Tower

There are more than fifty wooden puppets. According to the seven people including Lingxu who came in first, on average, each person has to deal with at least seven or eight. Qingyang has fought with this kind of wooden puppets before. With his strength, it is okay to deal with two or three at a time, but it is more difficult to deal with more.

If Qingyang faces seven or eight at a time, let alone defeating them, it would be good to be able to save his life under the siege of so many wooden puppets. However, Lingxu and his people not only defeated these wooden puppets, but also seemed to be very easy, which shows how powerful they are.

The main obstacle of the second floor of the Earth Core Tower is these wooden puppets. Now that the wooden puppets have been solved by the predecessors, Qingyang can pass the second floor without any effort, saving a lot of trouble. Qingyang did not stay in this place for too long, nor did he pick up the destroyed wooden puppets. Seeing that there was no danger on the second floor, he went directly to the stairs opposite the Earth Core Tower.

Just like the first floor of the Earth Core Tower, there is a narrow staircase more than two feet wide against the wall, which spirals up. At the top of the staircase, there is also a hidden formation at the entrance to the second and third floors of the Earth Core Tower. This time, Qingyang did not hesitate at all, and directly prepared for defense and passed through the formation.

After a trance, Qingyang came to the third floor of the Earth Core Tower. It was still just a false alarm. The entire third floor of the Earth Core Tower was empty, and there was not a single person. Lingxu Gongzi's group had left for a long time, and the resistance on the third floor had also been solved by the previous people.

The difference is that the third floor was not blocked by wooden puppets, but stone puppets, and the number was not as many as the second floor, with a total of only five. Don't underestimate these five stone puppets, because each of them is at the level of perfect Qi Refining.

When Qingyang was on the first floor of the Earth Core Tower, the thin man he fought against was the strength of perfect Qi Refining, but after all, it was an illusion, and there were many defects in all aspects, and the strength would be greatly reduced. These stone puppets are real objects, and their attack and defense power have been upgraded. I don't know how much more powerful they are than that thin man.

Even so, Qingyang had to use all his means to defeat the thin man. If he faced this stone puppet directly, Qingyang felt that he had almost no chance of winning.

Fortunately, these stone puppets were solved by the previous group of people. No matter how powerful they were, they are now a pile of waste and will not cause any interference to Qingyang.

Qingyang ignored the stone puppet fragments on the ground. He walked quickly to the stairs and climbed to the top of the steps in two or three steps. Looking at the hidden formation between the third and fourth floors, Qingyang stopped temporarily, thinking about how to reach the fourth floor safely without being discovered.

There are only five floors in the Earth Core Tower. There are no people on the lower three floors. Lingxu Gongzi's group is either on the fourth or fifth floor, or there may be people on both floors. The probability of having people on the fourth floor is higher than the fifth floor. If you rush in rashly, you may be discovered by the other party directly.

Qingyang thought for a long time and felt that all the methods were not very safe. There was no other way, so he could only take a risk and see whether he would live or die. Qingyang first found a top-grade magic talisman with invisibility from the collection of talismans and slapped it on his body, then used the breath-retaining technique to restrain his breath, and calmed down, and then broke into the fourth floor of the Earth Core Tower.

Passing through the hidden formation at the entrance of the fourth floor, without waiting for the moment of trance to end, and even without observing the environment of the fourth floor of the Earth Core Tower, Qingyang quickly shrank into the corner.

Qingyang's guess was right. There were really people on the fourth floor of the Earth Core Tower, but there were only two, one was Jiao Hong and the other was Xi Qiu. However, the two of them were not idle at this time, but stood in front of a portrait, staring at the huge portrait with their eyes, as if they were experiencing something.

It's a bit awkward to say this, in fact, Jiao Hong and Xi Qiu were trapped in an illusion array, just like what Qingyang encountered on the first floor of the Earth Core Tower before. However, the portrait here is different from the one on the first floor of the Earth Core Tower. It is not a human, but a huge blood bat.

Below the portrait, there is a wooden shelf with a plate on it. The plate contains a bunch of things. The things are restrained and they are not ordinary things. The two of them tried to get the things on the wooden shelf, which triggered the conditions for the activation of the portrait illusion, and then they fell into the illusion.

In fact, this is exactly the case. When Jiao Hong brought Lan Yan and Xi Qiu up, Master Lingxu and others had just reached the fourth floor. At that time, they all saw the things on the wooden shelf, but Master Lingxu knew very well that in order to get that thing, they had to break the illusion formed by the portrait. The illusion formed by this portrait is quite special. The stronger the strength, the stronger the opponent in the illusion, so it is difficult to destroy the illusion in a short time.

Seeing that the trial disciples outside were about to break in, and the things on the fifth floor of the Earth Core Tower had not been obtained, for Master Lingxu, the things on the fifth floor were the purpose of his trip, and nothing else was important. So they split into two groups, leaving Jiao Hong and Xi Qiu to seize the treasures on the fourth floor, while he took the other seven people directly to the fifth floor of the Earth Core Tower.

Qingyang saw that Jiao Hong and Xi Qiu were temporarily trapped and did not notice him, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then carefully came to the vicinity of the portrait.

At this time, Qingyang was only ten feet away from the two, but he did not dare to attack them casually, because this illusion was very strange. As long as he dared to attack, he would trigger the illusion in the picture, which would not only alarm the people in the illusion, but also drag himself in.

Qingyang didn't even dare to look up at the portrait, nor did he dare to get too close. He just stood at a distance and carefully observed the treasure on the wooden shelf.

The treasure was placed in a plate, and it looked like a pile of sand. It was orange and beautiful. At first, Qingyang didn't care much about it. It was just a pile of sand. How important could it be? If this thing was really priceless, how could Master Lingxu give up this place and go directly to the fifth floor?

When he saw the specific characteristics of the pile of yellow sand, and gradually confirmed it with some things in his mind, his eyes suddenly widened, and even his breathing became a little faster, because he thought of a rare name, called Huangji Yanchen Sand.

In order to figure out the function and origin of the Netherworld Lihuo Stone that he got from the Netherworld True Man, Qingyang consulted a lot of classics in the Gongfa Pavilion of Qingfeng Hall. While figuring out the function of the Netherworld Lihuo Stone, he also became familiar with many main materials used by Jindan cultivators to refine magic weapons, and he knew several of the extremely precious ones very well.
