Chapter 389 Seeing the Statue Again
"What if I can't get out?"
The dignified Empress Xuanji of Wuxiang State couldn't help but look timid at this moment.
The power of the Ice God was incredible to her. The power of the law that was scattered was beyond her imagination. If she met him head-on, wouldn't she be dead?
She had already started to regret it.
Although she stood on the standpoint of the human race, she couldn't just watch Qu Liu and the Immortal Medicine Master die. After all, saving them was equivalent to saving the human race.
But everything needs to be done within one's ability.
Facing such an extremely powerful enemy as the Ice God, Luo Xuanji, no matter how conceited she was, knew that this was not something she could contend with with her current strength.
Sitting on the throne for five thousand years, Luo Xuanji had seen many changes in the world and knew that no matter what the environment was, only her own strength was the magic weapon to win against some difficulties.
In the past Xianwu Continent, with her strength, she could be almost invincible and ignore all difficulties and obstacles.
But now the times have changed.
It was not until this moment that Luo Xuanji personally felt the advent of this change.
Today's Xianwu Continent can no longer be viewed with the eyes of the past.
"Since there is no way to retreat, we can only face the challenge and meet up with the Sword God and the others as soon as possible. Perhaps with the combined strength of the four of us, there is still a glimmer of hope!" Zhao Mu said firmly.
Since we are trapped, now is not the time to complain. It is crucial to find a way to solve the current crisis.
Moreover, he still has the treasure of the Conferred God Code, which is effective against the God's skeleton. With the combat power of the three Heavenly Supremes, there may be a possibility of a comeback.
After making up his mind, Zhao Mu resolutely turned back and continued to head towards the top of the pyramid.
However, the difficulty of walking the same road for the second time has increased significantly.
The upper layer has been completely frozen.
The biting cold is pervasive, and there is no effective means of resistance to the cold wave brought by the power of the law.
Zhao Mu can still block it with his passion.
But Luo Xuanji could not resist the erosion of this cold current at all. His body temperature dropped rapidly, and his body was soon covered with a thick layer of frost, which hindered his movements.
Although she was a strong man in the Heaven Realm, frostbite alone was not enough to threaten Luo Xuanji's life. But if she continued like this, she would lose her fighting ability before she could reach the upper level to meet the Sword God and the others.
Seeing that Luo Xuanji was getting slower and slower, Zhao Mu simply reached out and hugged Luo Xuanji's whole body into his arms.
The pure fire field unfolded at the same time, covering the two of them, forming a barrier.
The warmth rose, and although the frost on Luo Xuanji's body could not melt, the heat still penetrated into her body, allowing her blood to circulate again.
Leaning on Zhao Mu's thick chest, Luo Xuanji felt a sense of security that she had never felt in her life.
This made her look dazed.
Since she inherited the throne of Wuxiang State five thousand years ago, she has always reminded herself that as an emperor, she must be cold-blooded and ruthless. Even if the sky falls, she must stand at the front and support it, and never rely on the hands of others.
She has been doing this for five thousand years.
No matter what happens, big or small, she will do it herself and solve all problems with supreme force.
She has experienced many ups and downs along the way, but she has never made any mistakes and has long been accustomed to supporting everything alone.
But why is she so greedy for the feeling in Zhao Mu's arms at this moment, and even hopes that this moment can last forever.
If Zhao Mu opens the system panel at this time, he will definitely see that Luo Xuanji's favorability is rising.
"Huh..."
Soon, Zhao Mu returned to the previous tomb.
Now it is definitely not possible to melt the ceiling and take a shortcut. Fortunately, this tomb is not sealed, and Zhao Mu found a secret passage to get out.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Mu had an idea and walked to the sarcophagus, forming a formation with divine patterns to collect the remaining small white flowers.
Maybe it will come in handy later.
Leaving the tomb, Zhao Mu entered a complex corridor. At this time, Luo Xuanji's emperor domain came into play again, and thousands of scouts began to move and explore the way.
The heroes in the Emperor's Domain are essentially dead souls, and the Ice Law has little effect on them, so they can still be used at this moment.
"Your face is so red, do you have a fever?" Zhao Mu looked down at Luo Xuanji and asked.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, Luo Xuanji's face became even redder, and she buried her face tightly in Zhao Mu's chest, not daring to look up at anyone.
Hmm?
Was she shy in that flash of expression just now?
Zhao Mu laughed in his heart.
What Xuanji Empress, in the final analysis, is still a woman.
I thought it would take some time to cultivate, but now it seems that the picking season has quietly arrived.
"If we can't walk out of here alive today, before I die, I think..."
Zhao Mu leaned over Luo Xuanji's ear and whispered a few words.
Hearing this, Luo Xuanji's delicate body trembled violently, and after a moment of silence, she nodded slightly.
Zhao Mu laughed and continued to advance under the guidance of the scout, shouting: "Evil God, I hope you are strong enough, don't let me be happy for nothing."
"Hiss..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Mu felt a heart-wrenching pain in his arm.
Luo Xuanji was really cruel.
After calming down, Zhao Mu stopped pretending and continued to advance along the corridor, and finally came to a tomb.
This is still not the top floor of the pyramid.
Nine black iron coffins were neatly placed in the tomb.
The nine coffins were arranged in a circle, with a stone statue in the center.
The moment Zhao Mu saw the statue, he felt very familiar with it.
The aura of this statue seemed to be similar to the statues seen in the previous two temples.
Could it be that this fierce temple was here?
Zhao Mu swung a sword from a distance and slashed at the statue.
But before the statue was hit, the nine coffins exploded at the same time, and nine god skeletons flew out, like loyal servants, blocking the statue and intercepting Zhao Mu's sword attack.
Zhao Mu suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
These nine god skeletons all emitted strong law fluctuations. Although they were slightly worse than Fan Sai and Lie Zhui they had met before, they had more numbers. If they were to fight head-on, I'm afraid the chances of winning would not be high.
Moreover, the erosion of the ice was getting more and more severe, and Zhao Mu could only rely on the pure fire field to save his life. In this case, high-intensity combat would be greatly restricted.
Retreat!
Zhao Mu turned around and ran with Luo Xuanji in his arms.
But what surprised Zhao Mu was that the nine divine skeletons had no intention of catching up.
When Zhao Mu walked out of the tomb, they all lay back in the coffin.
It seemed that these nine divine skeletons had no independent consciousness, and the only responsibility they were given was to protect the statue, and they would never abandon the statue to go out and fight.
This immediately opened Zhao Mu's mind.
He had the God-conferring Codex, a powerful weapon against the divine skeletons, in his hand, and the opponent would not take the initiative to attack. Although the nine divine skeletons were powerful, they were just live targets. If he didn't take advantage of them now, when would he?
