Ancient Ruins
Lan Chang'an naturally will not sit still and wait for death.
The moment the four Foundation Establishment bags came up, he patted Storage Bag on his waist.
A Leather Armor Puppet carrying a bow and arrow appeared beside him, and Heavy Armor Puppet of Second-Order High-Grade were arranged on the left and right of Lan Chang'an.
Whoosh!
Heavy Armor Puppet was the first to attack. He flew past and attacked Foundation Establishment Late Stage's long-haired and glamorous woman at close range, forcing the latter not to easily use Black Lotus Law Artifact to attack in secret.
Wearing a big cloak, High-Nosed Youth, Yun Danfeng smiled softly, put away Magic Treasure Prototype, which consumed a lot of money, and used a giant axe, Law Artifact.
Suddenly, High-Nosed Youth, who was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, was shocked and felt a faint sense of threat.
Boo! Boo! Boo!
Leather Armor Puppet, who had just appeared, drew his long bow, and a blue electric arc flashed on the bowstring. A silver-gray arrow came out of the string, accompanied by the roar of wind and thunder, and pierced his face.
"Second-Order Top-Grade Puppet?"
High-Nosed Youth was surprised, realizing that he had underestimated the enemy, thinking that he could easily defeat Lan Chang'an in a group fight.
Feeling the threat of this arrow, he had no choice but to retract the half-flying giant ax Law Artifact and block it in front of him.
There was a roar of thunder, and the arrow exploded, causing a whirlwind.
Several wisps of blue arcs danced on the surface of the giant axe, making the latter's aura dim and unable to threaten Lan Chang'an.
"I made a mistake."
"This kid is actually Puppet Master of Second-Order Top-Grade?"
True Person Hu and True Person Tan looked at each other with surprise.
Simultaneously control two Puppet and above Second-Order High-Grade, exerting considerable power to restrain two Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
It must be Puppet Master of the same grade to be able to do it.
For the same Puppet, control by an ordinary monk and control by Puppet Master are two different things. There is a clear gap in lethality and flexibility.
Of course, since it is one-to-many, two Puppet can only contain two Foundation Establishment Late Stage for a short time.
The purpose of Lan Chang'an has been achieved.
The top-grade Law Artifact's silver shield surrounded him, blocking the attacks of the remaining two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
In his hand, Hand Seals, dark green Thorn Vine sprang out from the swamp, like a python with its teeth dancing wildly, growing crazily towards the two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
Lan Chang'an Today's Law Power is as powerful as Wood Element Law Technique. The power is extraordinary, not to mention the level of suppression.
Foundation Establishment Middle Stage's Elderly Man and the middle-aged woman were caught off guard and immediately scrambled to deal with it.
"Hmph!"
Lan Chang'an's eyes were like lightning, his cheeks were twitching, and he opened his mouth to spit.
Boom!
A thunderous sound that shook the soul made two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage's eardrums numb, Qi and Blood tumbling, their internal organs cramped, and their bodies became stiff for a moment.
This technique is the most difficult to practice among the Foundation Establishment Realm [Thunder Sound Technique], and its power depends on the strength of Law Power and Divine Sense.
When a high realm is used on a low realm, the effect is more obvious.
"Ah!"
The middle-aged woman Law Power's foundation was slightly weak, and her body sank. She was entangled in the lower body by dark green thorns and vines, and was dragged into the poisonous swamp.
Gulu gulu!
After sinking into the poisonous swamp, the middle-aged woman was tied up with rattan Law Technique. Her body was festering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if she woke up, she would be unable to recover.
"True Person Save me!"
Another Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Elderly Man, used a secret technique the moment he woke up, and a cloud of blood mist erupted on his leg, shattering the two thorn vines wrapped around his leg.
But the remaining large pieces of rattan were rushing to surround them.
"Bold! How dare you kill this True Person's men?"
The tall True Person Tan, with a gloomy look on his face, rolled up the blue glow of Dan Power with a palm from the air, and with a "boom", crushed the large thorns and vines emerging from the swamp.
"Thank you True Person Tan for helping me."
Foundation Establishment Middle Stage's Elderly Man is sweating profusely for the rest of his life.
"I dare to ask you two True Person, are you still short of people now?"
Lan Chang'an smile and stop taking action.
After he showed off Second-Order Top-Grade Puppet Master's skills, the attitudes of the two True Persons changed obviously.
Otherwise, when he kills someone, he will definitely be killed in a rage.
The two True Person looked unhappy and stared at Lan Chang'an coldly.
Previously, they hesitated after discovering Lan Chang'an's Puppet Master skills.
But I didn't expect that when Lan Chang'an was fighting one against four, he actually killed one of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage's men.
This is equivalent to slapping two True Person in the face in public.
Fairy Shi's pretty face turned pale, and she looked at that all-too-familiar young face with surprise and uncertainty.
In the same Wuqi Mountain, she had speculated that Lan Chang'an was not simple, but she did not expect that it was hidden so deeply.
In addition to Talisman Master, the more difficult Puppet skill actually reaches Second-Order Top-Grade.
However, considering that Lan Chang'an progresses slowly and takes a long time, it is theoretically possible to cultivate another hundred arts of cultivating immortals to a high level.
After the two True Person had a brief exchange, True Person Tan said:
"Boy Lu, your identity of Puppet Master is of some use to us in exploring the ruins and breaking the formation."
"However, if you kill my True Person's men, your sin will be irreparable. I True Person will give you two choices."
"Oh? True Person Tan Please speak."
Lan Chang'an is not surprised by this. His choice to show Puppet Master's true skills foreshadows the step ahead.
At that time, he had other options, such as using Treasure Talisman to escape, but Pseudo-Core True Person could not catch up.
There are unknown variables in doing so, and Ancient Ruins may be missed.
If it is a head-to-head fight with True Person.
This place is located in a deep area of the Black Mist Mountain Range. The fighting is too loud and can easily alert the tyrannical Demon Beast nearby.
"First, atone with death and pay the price for your arrogance and rudeness!"
"Second, kneel down and admit your mistake, surrender to us, and let True Person Hu plant Restriction."
True Person Tan had murderous intent in his eyes, False Core-level Divine Sense locked on Lan Chang'an.
"Senior Hu, can you forgive me? Daoist Lu's Puppet helped a lot in breaking the formation of the ruins."
Shi Manrong looked at the short old man with a black beard in front of him, bowed and begged.
Snap!
Fairy Shi Zhen tilted his head, leaving a red and swollen palm print on his fair cheek.
"Give you face?"
True Person Hu's face darkened, and he took back the palm he had fanned out.
"You are so ungrateful for sparing your life that you dare to intercede for others?"
Feeling the burning pain on his face, Shi Manrong's heart sank to the bottom.
The worst case scenario finally occurred.
Not only does Lan Chang'an want to play Restriction, but so does she.
This True Person Hu was a kind-hearted person when we met him before, and he gave some advice on Shi Manrong's formation.
As a third-level formation mage, True Person Hu has a good reputation and has no rumors of bullying.
However, under the huge interests of Ancient Ruins, the rules of the human world were lost, and the senior who used to be approachable revealed the dark side of his heart.
"Boy Lu, please give me the answer as soon as possible. Our time is precious."
True Person Tan had an indifferent expression and offered up the simple ruler Law Treasure.
Lan Chang'an frowned, turned over his hand and took out a piece of Talisman engraved with thunder patterns.
The dangerous aura on Talisman caused the three Foundation Establishment monks to retreat in fright, showing fear.
"This is "Thunderbolt Talisman" from Quasi-Third-Order."
Lan Chang'an held Talisman between his fingers, and Law Power was vaguely hesitating on his fingertips.
The two True Person were startled for a moment, but they quickly came to their senses.
"Stop!"
True Person Tan yelled angrily.
"Talismans Master Lu, we have something to discuss."
True Person Hu forced a smile on his face and quickly comforted him.
A Talisman of Quasi-Third-Order poses a limited threat to Pseudo-Core True Person.
However, [Thunderbolt Talisman] is extraordinary.
The movement of this symbol is extremely powerful!
Once activated, it will alarm Demon Beast at least within hundreds of miles.
Demon Beast among the Black Mist Mountain Range has sharp senses and can even be sensed at a greater distance.
In the surrounding area, there are Demon Beast of Quasi-Third-Order, and Third-Order Great Demon in the deeper area.
Once such a terrifying existence is introduced, the consequences will be disastrous.
If Lan Chang'an activates [Thunderbolt Talisman], it is equivalent to exposing the location of Ancient Ruins, which will definitely attract the investigation of the powerful Demon Beast in the surrounding area.
When the attention of the two True Person was diverted.
Whoosh!
Fairy Shi's figure flashed and returned to Lan Chang'an.
She gritted her silver teeth, looked determined, and presented a Magic Treasure Prototype in the shape of Gold Ring.
Then he turned behind Lan Chang'an and put his back to his back to prevent one of the True Persons from attacking Lan Chang'an from behind.
Seeing her performance in his eyes, Lan Chang'an nodded secretly.
Fairy Shi must have given up on seeking refuge.
If you invest two True Person, your wealth and life will be at your discretion.
Decades ago, that True Person Qi planted the Restriction in her, leaving a deep shadow.
Right now, she is cooperating with Lan Chang'an, and there is still some possibility of resistance.
"You two True Person, if you don't want to expose the location of Ancient Ruins, just listen to what Lu said."
Lan Chang'an said slowly.
"Little friend Lu, please speak."
True Person Hu looked friendly and made eye contact with True Person Tan, feeling a little helpless.
The strength of Lan Chang'an and Fairy Shi is beyond the ordinary Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and Pseudo-Core True Person cannot kill them quickly.
"In addition to Thunderbolt Talisman, Lu also has other means to threaten Pseudo-Core True Person."
Lan Chang'an said slowly.
Hearing this, the two True Person looked thoughtful and didn't know how much they believed it.
Lan Chang'an continued, "We agree to assist the two True Person in exploring Ancient Ruins. At that time, the harvest in the ruins will all depend on personal luck and ability."
"We have no objection to Lu Xiaoyou's suggestion."
True Person Tan and True Person Hu quickly reached an agreement.
No matter what, let's stabilize Lan Chang'an first.
"Xiaoyou Lu and Fairy Shi please come in."
On the mountain wall level with the swamp, there is a stone door leading to the underground.
Two Pseudo-Core True Person and three Foundation Establishment monks are in a row.
Lan Chang'an and Fairy Shi stand on the other side.
The three Foundation Establishment monks looked at the two new members with complicated expressions.
"Go in."
Lan Chang'an and Shi Manrong make eye contact.
They have been waiting for this place Ancient Ruins for many years. At this time, it is the best choice to advance before retreating.
The two Pseudo-Core True Person will never allow them to leave.
The two of them entered the stone gate together.
Inside the stone gate, there is a tunnel that continues underground.
The further down you go, the more open the ground becomes.
During this time, Lan Chang'an smelled a hint of the putrid smell of the swamp.
It is obvious that the Ancient Ruins that the tunnel leads to is located further below the Poisonous Gas Swamp.
In the process of going down.
Five people, True Person Tan and True Person Hu, followed behind and had no intention of taking action.
Before closing the stone gate, True Person Hu reinforced the third-level covering formation outside and added Restriction.
Not long after.
When the tunnel reaches the end, a bright and open underground space appears in front of us.
A group of exotic ancient buildings, shrouded in the dim light of the broken formation, spread for dozens of miles.
After a long period of time, the amount of Law Power was lost, and the surface of those ancient buildings also showed signs of weathering. A small number of areas showed the scene of ruins with broken walls.
At first glance, it looks like a forgotten ancient city.
"This ruins was once the habitat of a High Antiquity civilized race. After countless years of changes and vicissitudes of life, this ruins was discovered by a recent ancient sect and transformed into a refuge and backup treasure house."
Lan Chang'an recalls the information in Jade Cylinder.
After entering Black Mist Mountain Range, Shi Manrong gave him a Jade Cylinder and briefly described the general situation of the ruins.
"On the periphery of the ruins, the formation is incomplete and not even one out of ten exists. However, we must still be careful of Restriction and traps that may be hidden."
"Inside and in the center of the ruins, there is a relatively complete fourth-order residual formation. It is more powerful than the ordinary third-order formation and is difficult to attack by force. In addition to the formation and Restriction, there are also some unknown risks."
"Back then, True Person Qi broke open a key gate in the ruins and found "Yin-Yang Water" and "Mystic Heaven Vine". Unfortunately, he was caught in a trap and died."
"Fairy Shi, the path in this area is about six or seven miles. We have investigated it before and confirmed that there is no danger."
The short True Person Hu stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed at a gap in the formation outside the ruins.
"There is a big gap in the formation here. I also started from here decades ago. However, the formation in the ruins has a certain automatic repair function."
The two formation mages kept their distance and discussed the formation in the ruins Restriction.
It seems that True Person Tan and True Person Hu have no intention of taking action anytime soon.
After all, Shi Manrong and Lan Chang'an are of great value in conquering and exploring Ancient Ruins.
If it comes to force, the two Lan Chang'an are very powerful, but they will end up dying together, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Entering Ancient Ruins, you cannot leave easily.
By then, what big fortuitous opportunity can you say, can't you just rely on your fists?
Once the utilization value is drained out, it won't be too late to make the final settlement.
"Two Pseudo-Core True Person, including a third-level array mage, and three Foundation Establishment strong players attack Ancient Ruins together. The chance of winning and the fault tolerance rate will be greatly increased."
"Where can I find such a lineup?"
Lan Chang'an thought to himself.
True Person Tan led the way, heading towards the central area of Ancient Ruins through the proven path.
Along the way, Lan Chang'an and Fairy Shi stopped and walked, exploring nearby ancient buildings, gardens, and ruins.
This made the two True Person look impatient.
"I have been exploring this area for several months and there is nothing of value. There is no need to waste time."
True Person Tan said bluntly.
Lan Chang'an understands this principle. This path has been explored twice in decades.
Fairy Shi and True Person Qi happened once, but this time is the second time.
If there was any treasure, it should have fallen into the pockets of a few True Person.
However, out of caution, Lan Chang'an needs to understand the nearby geographical environment and investigate possible hidden dangers.
Especially beware of True Person Hu, a third-level formation mage, who has hidden formation traps around him.
The formations set up by third-level formation masters pose a considerable threat to true elixir cultivators.
After probing for several miles, Lan Chang'an and Fairy Shi found no abnormalities.
Restriction and the remaining formations on the path have basically been conquered. The few that cannot be conquered are simply avoided.
Squeak!
Among Lan Chang'an and Spirit Pet Bag, a puppy-sized Earth Rock Rat emerged. Under the instruction of its owner, he went to explore the corners of some ruins.
"What do you call this girl?"
Lan Chang'an turned his eyes and looked at the long-haired, cold-looking woman behind True Person Tan.
This female cultivator's Demonic Path Cultivation Method is the only one among the three Foundation Establishment cultivators on the opposite side that has not been played Restriction.
The domineering True Person Tan is quite polite to this woman.
Lan Chang'an noticed that the long-haired woman had paid vague attention to her after learning her identity.
But he didn't dare to look at it directly, he seemed to be afraid and a little curious.
"Daoist Lu, you can call me Miss Wei."
The long-haired woman smiled without showing her teeth and bowed.
True Person Tan glanced at Miss Wei strangely. Such a reserved and polite manner was not this woman's style.
Could it be that you have fallen in love with that pretty boy?
With Lan Chang'an's appearance and demeanor, as well as his powerful means of staying calm in times of crisis, his charm is indeed considerable.
About two-thirds of the way through the explored path, Lan Chang'an suddenly stopped.
Squeak!
In front of a thick half wall of an ancient building, Earth Rock Rat waved his paws, showing a look of confusion.
