"Earlier, in order to control me, Equan used his own essence and blood to place a restriction in my body. Although the Sky-Breaking Talisman just now caused me serious injuries, it just broke most of the restriction.
But it's still not easy to force out the drop of blood, so I can only force it into my left arm."
Just as Shi Chuankong was explaining, the left arm that had left Shi Chuankong's body suddenly burst into blood, then ignited with blazing blood flames and turned into ashes in an instant.
After the blood flame disappeared, a drop of crystal-clear jade blood was suspended in the air, trembling slightly, as if sensing the surrounding situation!
Luo Hong turned his eyes when he saw this. He didn't know what he thought of, but he reached out and grabbed the blood bead.
"Don't"
Shi Chuankong's eyes widened, and just as he was about to stop him, he saw a ball of white light appear in Luo Hong's palm, and after the blood beads flew into it, he suddenly became quiet.
"Brother Luo is really a very brave man! Shi was seriously injured this time and needs to recuperate for a few days. Please help protect him."
After Shi Chuankong once again lamented Luo Hong's unfathomable depth in his heart, he asked.
"Brother Shi, you can heal your wounds, but if you need elixirs, just ask. Luo is just here to study this drop of blood."
Luo Hong agreed happily.
"Thank you, Brother Luo. I have the healing elixir, so I won't bother you two."
After saying that, Shi Chuankong, who looked relaxed, put his right hand into his arms, took out a blood jade-like elixir and drank it.
The next moment, the broken arm of his left shoulder emitted bright blood and countless granules grew.
In just a dozen breaths, a brand new arm grew.
However, although his arms have grown, his complexion is still pale. Fortunately, the elixir still has a lot of medicinal power. It only needs to be completely refined to make up for the loss of his blood essence.
So, Luo Hong and Han Li then sat cross-legged next to Shi Chuankong, closing their eyes and relaxing.
At this moment, Luo Hong sent out a spiritual thought, sinking his consciousness into his Dantian, and saw the white ball of light.
"Boy Luo, why did you bring this drop of blood in?"
Silver Fairy suddenly appeared next to Luo Hong Yuanying.
"It's nothing, I just feel that I have suffered a little loss this time and want to make up for it."
To say he suffered a loss was, of course, Luo Hong's joke. After all, his main purpose of entering the Scales Sky Realm this time was to improve his physical body.
Obviously, he has now exceeded his goal.
Not to mention, he had just solved the hidden dangers of Tianluo Corpse Slaying Technique, and would be able to search for immortal materials in this ruins in the future.
Luo Hong would feel at a loss, just because after finally going to the market, he could only get some marginal things, which made him a little unaccustomed.
Fortunately, Luo Hong was accustomed to generating income for himself, and the moment he saw the blood essence and blood, he immediately had an idea.
"You kid, you want to take advantage of that Equan? Just with this drop of blood?"
Fairy Yin is not very optimistic about Luo Hong. After all, in terms of physical cultivation, Equan is still much better than Luo Hong.
It is difficult for a drop of essence and blood to create any big article, which makes it difficult for Silver Fairy not to question it.
"Then we have to find out who is doing it."
Luo Hong Yuanying curled up the corner of his mouth and said mysteriously.
Fairy Yin was very confused when she heard this. Could it be that there is someone else here?
But soon, she saw Luo Hong cast a spell to slightly expand the white ball of light, enveloping another ball of light in the Dantian.
"This is. Good boy, you are going to poison him!"
Seeing this ball of light, Silver Fairy immediately understood Luo Hong's intention. After all, the gray heart in it was a relic of the Tao Ancestor.
If you use it to do something, it is almost equivalent to half a Taoist taking action, and Equan will definitely not be able to resist it!
Luo Hong did not respond at this time, but after concentrating for a moment, he slowly activated the time and space restriction, loosening the seal a little.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a dull and powerful heartbeat sounded in Luo Hong's dantian.
Although he had been isolated using the Taichu Law, Luo Hong still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Fortunately, his physical body is no longer what it used to be, and this discomfort is completely within the range that he can tolerate.
Then, Luo Hong loosened the seal little by little, which kept the gray heart beating at a frequency that was neither fast nor slow.
"That's it."
After secretly speaking, Luo Hong let the drop of blood essence fly into the forbidden light ball, and then without him urging it, the gray heart sucked it in with a beat.
Next, Luo Hong Yuanying and Silver Fairy saw the drop of blood begin to flow in and out with the beating of the gray heart, and the color gradually darkened.
"Boy Luo, I really have you. Now the city lord is going to be in big trouble."
Silver Fairy's face was filled with an expectant smile.
Seven days and seven nights passed like this. Shi Chuankong's complexion recovered a lot. He opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and stood up.
"Thank you to the two fellow Taoists for their support. Shi is now fine. The remaining vitality that has been lost cannot be recovered in a short time."
"In this case, we will continue to explore this place and see what is in the deepest part of the altar."
Luo Hong also finished his work not long ago, and the gray heart was completely sealed again, and the drop of blood that was originally scarlet was now as if it was stained with dust, gray, and looked quite strange.
The three of them left the black stone temple and after exploring for several hours, they found a hidden temple in the depths.
This temple is no more than a hundred feet high and is built entirely of huge black stones. There are not many carvings and decorations on the outside. Only the two huge stone doors that are tightly closed have an unfamiliar night sky star map embossed on them.
"Two fellow Taoists, I bet that there must be a powerful puppet in this stone palace that is far more powerful than before. Do you believe it or not?"
After Shi Chuankong was no longer confused, he actually returned to the way he was when Luo Hong first met him in the fairyland. He loved to bet with others and could play with Jin Ling for a long time.
"Don't bet, don't bet, you are afraid that we will go too smoothly."
Han Li rejected Shi Chuankong without hesitation, then glanced at Luo Hong and stepped forward to push open the heavy stone door.
"Rumble"
Accompanied by a loud friction sound, the stone door revealed a narrow opening that was wide enough for two people. It was dark inside, and there was a smell of staleness.
Without wasting any time to test, the three of them quickly entered the temple.
With a sound of "Teng", a ball of flames immediately lit up on the stone walls on both sides of the temple, and then multiple lines of fire spread along the stone grooves on the wall, illuminating the entire temple.
Luo Hong smelled the smell in the air and confirmed that it was the smell of a scaled animal with a unique aroma of grease.
With a quick glance, Luo Hong discovered that there was a medium-sized rectangular pool on the ground not far in front of them. The water in the pool had dried up, and two white stone arch bridges were erected horizontally and vertically on it.
All kinds of strange animals are carved on the surrounding stone walls, which look three-dimensional and exquisite.
At the end of the temple, there are seven or eight dark stone statues, the two facing them are both standing.
The stone statue on the left is a tall demon man with short hair that looks like spikes, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and protruding fangs. He is wearing a dark magic armor and holding a purple-black eyebrow-length sword in his hand.
Long stick.
The stone statue on the right is of a slender human woman with extremely beautifully carved features, very lively facial features, and clothes flying around her body, making her look like she is riding the wind in the sky.
The woman held her hands in front of her chest, holding a blood-red key about the same size as her palm. Under the firelight, it reflected the light like a crystal.
Except for these two, the rest of the stone statues are all identical halberd-wielding warriors, with their upper bodies exposed and bulging muscles, looking full of strength.
"Holy Key!"
Shi Chuankong stared at the bloody key and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Brother Shi, do you recognize the key?"
The internal layout of the temple was not complicated, and Han Li could see at a glance that the blood-colored key was the most precious thing in the temple.
“I don’t know the specific name of Shi, but the information provided by Shi Pokong mentioned that if you want to see the scale-stricken holy bones, you must first collect five holy keys.
Come to think of it, this is one of them!”
Shi Chuankong replied immediately.
"I see, that's why the defense is so tight. Brother Shi, you're being cunning this time. There's a phantom formation in the pool, and those six halberd-wielding warriors are the powerful puppets you said."
Luo Hong's consciousness swept through and he discovered the problem in every detail.
The first is the two arch bridges above the dry pool. Although they are covered up with patterns, Luo Hong is also proficient in illusion. After careful observation, it is not difficult to see the hidden formation patterns.
The six halberd-wielding warriors seemed to be just stone statues, but they faintly exuded some star aura from inside. They were obviously puppets unique to the Jiling Sky Realm, using beast cores as energy.
"Senior Brother Luo, what are you going to do?"
Han Li's face hardened when he heard this, and he immediately started discussing with Luo Hong.
"Simple, Junior Brother Li, you go get the treasure, that mere illusion array can't enchant your soul.
As for the six puppets, just leave them to my brother."
Luo Hong made the arrangements very easily.
Han Li nodded when he heard this. He was not afraid of the phantom formation, but he just didn't want to encounter additional attacks when he broke the formation.
"Brother Luo, what should I do?"
Watching Han Li walk onto the stone bridge, Shi Chuankong didn't seem to want to wait and asked proactively.
"Since Brother Shi is interested, I can trouble you to be the bait."
Luo Hong didn't expect such a good thing to happen. After being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but smile.
Immediately, without waiting for Shi Chuankong's response, he stretched out his right palm and patted his heart on the back, moving him to the opposite side of the pool.
At the same time, Han Li suddenly heard the sound of flowing water in his ears. He looked down and saw that a spring had appeared at the bottom of the pool. Water was continuously pouring out of it, and bursts of water rose up.
White mist.
But when he came back, he saw that the surrounding environment had changed drastically. He suddenly came from an abandoned temple to a magnificent palace.
Immediately, very unoriginally, bursts of music played by silk and bamboo orchestras came from all around. Beautiful women dressed in cool clothes, exposing their big white breasts, twisted their waists while playing,
Dance a very exotic and seductive dance.
After admiring it carefully, Han Li's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he began to activate the mysterious technique!
Shortly after the phantom formation was activated, the six halberd-wielding warriors half-kneeling on the stone platform suddenly changed as they expected.
Just a slight "click" sound was heard, and its surface was like opening a piece of porcelain, with tiny cracks appearing all over the body.
After a few breaths, a red light flashed in the eyes of the six warriors holding halberds. They suddenly twisted their necks and looked at Shi Chuankong standing between the pool and the stone platform.
"Brother Luo, they are moving."
Shi Chuankong drew out the long sword of the star weapon cautiously and shouted to Luo Hong who was behind him.
"No hurry, wait until they come down from the stone platform."
Luo Hong stood near the temple gate with his hands behind his hands, looking relaxed and leisurely.
With a loud "ka-ka" sound, pieces of stone skin peeled off from the bodies of the six halberd-wielding warriors, revealing the real puppet bodies inside, and slowly stood up from a half-kneeling position.
After a few breaths, before the stone skin was completely peeled off, the six halberd-wielding warriors jumped up together and attacked the stone Chuankong with tacit understanding!
Fortunately, Shi Chuankong was not a playboy. He moved his feet and cast some secret royal technique. His figure immediately became like a ghost, and more than a dozen afterimages appeared.
The six warriors holding halberds landed on the ground, and all their attacks hit the afterimages, without injuring Shi Chuankong at all.
Taking this opportunity, Shi Chuankong immediately waved his scimitar and struck the neck of one of the halberd-wielding warriors.
However, the next moment, the two halberd-wielding warriors on the side turned their halberds very quickly and stabbed towards his throat and Dantian respectively.
Shi Chuankong was shocked, knowing that they could react like this because they must have saved most of their strength when attacking the afterimage, that is, they were deliberately guarding against his surprise attack.
"Brother Luo, these puppets are quite intelligent, come and help me!"
He leaned back to avoid the halberd at his throat, and blocked the halberd at Dantian with his scimitar. Shi Chuankong retreated along with the force and called for help.
After a short fight, he has determined that the combat power of these six halberd-wielding warriors is equivalent to that of Xuanshi in the early stage of Taiyi, and they work together so well that he can deal with up to three of them by himself!
"Sure enough, good stuff like this is hidden deep."
Suddenly, Luo Hong's voice came from above.
Shi Chuankong looked up and saw that Luo Hong had appeared above him at some unknown moment, with eight jade-like white bone pillars suspended beside him.
These pillars are about three feet high, all white, with complex silver patterns on their surface, exuding bursts of powerful star power.
Before Shi Chuankong could take a closer look, eight white jade bone pillars fell from the sky, just surrounding the six warriors holding halberds in the center.
Immediately afterwards, the silver patterns on the white jade bone pillars burst out with bright light, causing a strange wave of power to appear in the surrounding area.
"Bang bang bang"
There was an unusual sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, and Shi Chuankong saw that the six halberd-wielding warriors who had shown their prowess just now fell to their knees again, as if they had lost all strength.
"So that's it. This bone formation can disrupt the power of stars within the range. These puppets all rely on the power of stars to move, so they can only kneel down at the moment."
Sensing that the auras emitted by the six halberd-wielding warriors were extremely chaotic, Shi Chuankong immediately understood what was going on.
