Chapter 246 Yaoyue Ruins

When Hua Huo used vines to pull Qin Cheng onto the boat, he was already pale, and he sat there with his legs shaking, obviously frightened.

This really can't be blamed entirely on Qin Cheng, the scene just now is indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The vines that grew out of the water pulled a giant snake out of the water with unimaginable force and threw it directly onto the shore like throwing garbage.

In Qin Cheng's view, this means that there is a spirit beast under the water that is far more terrifying than this giant snake.

"Or, let's come again next time." Qin Cheng said to Yu Xin with pale lips, "If the beast under the water attacks us, we won't even have a chance to fight back."

Zhou Lu looked at Qin Cheng, who had already started to retreat, speechlessly. This kid was too cowardly.

Not to mention that it was Hua Huo who just attacked, even if it was really an unknown spirit beast, there was no reason to give up halfway.

You can't just assume that you have no chance of winning without even meeting it once, right?

But Zhou Lu had no intention of explaining anything to Qin Cheng.

Since he is willing to misunderstand, let him misunderstand.

If this person knew the specialness of Hua Huo, he might tell others about Hua Huo's situation.

In comparison, Yu Xin and Yu Yanyan seemed much calmer.

Yu Xin obviously guessed something, sitting behind the boat, looking at Hua Huo from time to time.

Yu Yanyan was chatting with her kitten heartlessly.

"Go over now." Zhou Lu looked at the angry and roaring giant python on the shore and said, "If it catches up again, it will be a fierce battle."

Hua Huo's throw just now actually did not have any technical content.

It simply used crazy growth to make itself bigger, and then used the skill of [Carrying] to directly lift the giant python and throw it out.

However, this time Hua Huo did not cover his whole body with [Crazy Growth], but only made his underwater roots continue to expand until he could easily lift the giant snake.

If the people on the boat could see the scene under the water at this time, they could see the exaggerated huge root system under the boat.

The main body of Hua Huo on the boat is still cute and small, and it has not even released the state of [Lilliput].

This can be regarded as an attempt by Hua Huo.

It always feels that it is very indecent to become too huge in front of its master.

If possible, Hua Huo still thinks it is better to keep its original cute appearance.

But if it wants to use the [Carrying] skill to lift the giant enemy, its own mass is a rigid requirement.

Zhou Lu has long understood Hua Huo's idea through empathy, so he specially formulated this tactic of enlarging the root system for it.

When using this tactic, the root system of Hua Huo's main body is actually motionless.

It will extend a running stem into the ground or underwater, and then use [Crazy Growth] to make the roots on the running stem expand and grow rapidly.

The stronger the attribute of Hua Huo, the more exaggerated the speed of [Electrode Acceleration], and [Crazy Growth] can also grow to a large enough level.

Because Hua Huo did not disconnect the running stem at this time, the swollen roots of the running stem are also calculated as the main body of Hua Huo.

This makes Hua Huo have incredible power while maintaining its surface appearance.

However, this is only a theoretical tactic. Today is the first time that Hua Huo has used it in actual combat.

I have to say that the effect is very good.

The only doubt is whether this tactic will be as effective if used on the ground.

After all, the mediums of the two are completely different. The operations that can be performed in water may not be effective on the ground.

Fortunately, Hua Huo has the racial skill [Escape from the Earth], which allows it to continue to move even when the walking stem grows a huge root system underground, and it will not even hinder Hua Huo's normal actions.

The only disadvantage is that Hua Huo may not look good if she needs to drag a walking stem at any time.

As soon as Zhou Lu's order was issued, Hua Huo immediately accelerated the speed of the boat.

The giant python saw someone trying to land on the island and subconsciously wanted to chase.

But as soon as the body touched the water, it instinctively withdrew.

It began to wander around the shore irritably, obviously fearing the monster under the water that threw it out of the water.

Under the hesitation of the giant python, the group landed on the island in the center of the lake without any danger.

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Qin Cheng, who was just panicking, suddenly returned to normal.

"What? Is this all you can do?" Qin Cheng tried to make his tone as relaxed as possible, as if this could cover up his gaffe on the boat.

But such behavior made him look more like a clown.

The entrance to the ruins was almost hidden.

Even without Qin Cheng's guidance, Zhou Lu had already seen the location of the entrance to the ruins. A huge statue stood in the center of the island.

The head of the statue had been destroyed, and it was impossible to tell who it was.

But this did not prevent the ominous atmosphere from emanating from the feet of the statue.

Zhou Lu directly summoned Yueya from the Beast Taming Card.

As soon as Yueya appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the two girls.

It must be said that Yueya in normal state appears in the form of a pure white lark, and her cute appearance is indeed lovable.

Yueya glanced at the statue in front of her and said directly: "I know him. The ancestor of the Yaoyue Sect."

Zhou Lu narrowed his eyes.

The ancestors mentioned by Xiao Lingyun are the real ancestors.

Because of the characteristics of immortals, as long as they are constantly absorbing energy, they will be immortal.

So in the late stage of the immortal era, many great powers who created this immortal era are still alive.

As the most surviving Xiao Lingyun, Yueya also witnessed the peak and decline of the immortal era.

So after Zhou Lu contracted Yueya, he asked it to tell him about the past of the immortal era, so that he could understand these potential enemies in advance.

To be honest, after listening to Yueya's story, Zhou Lu became more and more confused about how the beastmasters at that time buried such powerful immortals.

What they have to face is not only ordinary immortal cultivators, but also many great powers who have ruled the immortal world for more than ten thousand years.

It can't be that these guys have lived too long and each of them has an unknown old age, right?

Yueya doesn't know much about this.

"The fight between those guys was too terrifying. Even if I just stood nearby, I felt like I was going to be shattered by the aftermath of the fight." Yueya said at the time.

"Legend has it that the Yaoyue Sect has a unique cage that is specifically used to suppress those powerful demons who bring disaster to the world." Yueya said to Zhou Lu in her heart through empathy, "There are not many beings that can be suppressed by the statue of that old guy. I think this is the legendary Yaoyue Prison."

"Suppression?" Zhou Lu murmured in his heart.

"Hehe, you can also understand it as a cold storage." Yueya told a cold joke indifferently.

Zhou Lu followed with a chuckle, but in his heart he was evaluating the degree of risk after that.

Yueya seemed to see Zhou Lu's hesitation and said, "If it is a fairy in a sealed state, I can help you deal with it."

With Yueya's statement, Zhou Lu felt more at ease.

He turned his head and said to Yu Xin, "It is estimated to be very dangerous in here. Are you ready?"

In fact, the best result is that Zhou Lu goes in alone.

But the location of the ruins was provided by Yu Xin and Qin Cheng, so Zhou Lu naturally had to respect their opinions.

Although everyone was still a student, they were adults after all.

Since they were adults, they should bear the price for their choices.

Yu Xin was also very steady. She looked at Zhou Lu's solemn expression and said, "How dangerous is it?"

She had a full understanding of her own strength, so she needed to evaluate the level of danger Zhou Lu was talking about.

This stumped Zhou Lu.

Yu Xin immediately said, "I'd better go in with you. After all, you came here because of my invitation."

We have already arrived at the entrance of the ruins. If we don't go in and explore, it always feels like a wasted trip.

Zhou Lu nodded, and then looked at Yu Yanyan.

Yu Yanyan had similar thoughts.

Qin Cheng felt Zhou Lu's gaze, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face. Finally, he said, "I give up. I'll guard the door."

This made Zhou Lu look at him with some new eyes.

Being afraid of death is one thing, but how many people completely forget that they are afraid of death because of possible benefits?

Qin Cheng was able to give up entering the ruins at the door, which was considered self-aware.

He knew very well that he could not even deal with the giant snake guarding the door. If he encountered a stronger enemy, wouldn’t it be a waste?

Zhou Lu raised his hand and patted Qin Cheng on the shoulder: "Then I'll ask you to help us take care of the luggage."

Seeing Zhou Lu's familiar look, Qin Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

No, why do I feel like I'm here to be your wingman to help you pick up girls!

Looking at the two beautiful girls behind Zhou Lu, Qin Cheng nodded and said: "But if there is an emergency, I will leave without hesitation."

He said it bluntly, which Zhou Lu actually appreciated.

Although he was a little slow, except for the provocative words he said at the beginning because he thought he was a love rival, Qin Cheng didn't do anything that particularly annoyed Zhou Lu along the way.

"What did you leave on him just now?" Yu Xin noticed Zhou Lu's actions and asked curiously.

Zhou Lu smiled and took out a bottle of white powder and gave it to Yu Xin and Yu Yanyan respectively.

"Applying it on the body can avoid some mental attacks." Zhou Lu said.

As he said that, he took the lead in applying the powder on his hands.

These powders are actually the spores of white dream fungi.

The main function is to prevent the invasion of mental power into the body.

For this exploration of the ruins, Zhou Lu has made full preparations.

He even thought of the possibility that the sealed immortals might try to take over the body.

White dream fungi are a kind of fungi developed by Wu Xiaoqing specifically for immortals, mainly to prevent immortals from taking over the body and hypnotizing brainwashing.

After doing all this, Zhou Lu asked Yueya to officially open the ruins.

As the entrance opened, a gloomy and strange breath came to the face.

Jumping in from the entrance, the group directly entered a dark and quiet corridor.

Turning on the lights, the surrounding rock walls were uneven, but there seemed to be an unusually mysterious feeling.

Before he could take a few steps forward, Zhou Lu heard someone laughing.

"Hehehe, you finally can't help but want to eat us, Jade Palace Master."

Jade Palace Master is the ancestor of the Yaoyue Sect, a great man in the Mahayana period.

"Huh? You are not Jade Palace Master, who are you?" The man immediately noticed something was wrong.

At this time, Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom had already located his position through his power.

Hua Huo had also sensed the other party's position.

Without any hesitation, he threw out a leaf blade.

The leaf blade was embedded directly into the wall, and it seemed that it did not hit anything.

But before the other party could start to taunt him, he felt a terrifying force pulling him out of the seal.

This was much more violent than the action of Yu Gong Zhenren eating.

However, when he tried to struggle, he was horrified to find that his power was constantly being lost.

What kind of power is this?

In an instant, he had no ability to resist.

A beautiful flower bloomed from the leaf blade, emitting a faint light in the air.

Hua Huo patted the leaves happily, and then made the other party's memory into a leaf disc and stored it in his own treasure house.

This method of extracting memories from the other party's soul comes from the racial skills of a deep-sea giant octopus.

Zhou Lu soon learned about the past of this poor immortal who was killed by Hua Huo at the first sight through Hua Huo's disc reading.

He was originally a mortal, but he accepted the guidance of the True Lord and embarked on the path of cultivating immortals.

In the sect, he was not valued and was repeatedly bullied by his colleagues.

During the routine cleaning of the Sutra Library, he accidentally found a peerless magic book.

Unable to resist the temptation, he betrayed the sect and began to practice the magic book.

In just ten years, he slaughtered more than a hundred cities and was already known as the Skeleton Demon Lord.

This actually surprised Zhou Lu.

What was unexpected was not the other party's identity as a demon cultivator.

Zhou Lu had guessed this a long time ago.

What surprised him was that the Skeleton Demon Lord lived in the late stage of the Immortal Age.

At that time, the immortal sects could not even recruit the descendants of their own cultivators, so they had the spare time to recruit mortals to become immortals?

Beastmasters are still possible, right?

"It's normal." Yueya felt Zhou Lu's doubts, stood on Zhou Lu's shoulder, and said lazily, "After all, it is a self-proclaimed famous and upright sect, so naturally it can't do anything that harms the world. But this appetite cannot be satisfied, so naturally it has to cultivate some demon cultivators."

"Let me tell you this, 90% of the demon cultivators here are probably related to famous and upright sects."

"Ah?"

"Recruit mortals, cultivate them into immortals, and then induce them to corrupt and degenerate into contemporary demon cultivators."

"Then, the famous and upright sects can enforce justice and have a good meal at the same time."

"Sometimes they are so hungry that they don't even care about propriety and integrity."

"Ninety percent of the demon cultivators who escaped from Tianxian Valley betrayed the sect because they had an affair with their master's wife and were discovered by their master." Yueya didn't forget to gossip, "Hehehe, as long as they can force these mortal immortals to become demon cultivators, they will do anything."

"But what's the point of doing this?" Zhou Lu was a little confused.

"How come it's meaningless?" Yueya yawned, "Without bad guys, how can they become good guys?"
