"Brother Shi, looking at you, could it be that you have gained nothing?"
After returning to the team, Han Li immediately noticed Shi Chuankong's ugly expression and couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, I'm really unlucky. I didn't even see a cloud of sulfur blood, so I had no chance to fight for it."
Shi Chuankong sighed, shook his head and said.
"Did Fang Chan and the others get nothing?"
Han Li turned his eyes and asked casually.
"Well, they are the same as me, but the four city lords, the Zhu family brothers and sisters, and that Shao Ying all got at least a cloud of sulfur blood."
It would be fine if there weren't many sulfur blood clouds, but now that so many people have had the opportunity, it's no wonder Shi Chuankong feels uncomfortable.
Han Li just nodded slightly when he heard this, but he was already thinking about it.
After everyone came back, Eva immediately accelerated his progress.
So, after walking for more than an hour, the surrounding blood mist finally completely disappeared.
The scenery ahead suddenly opened up, and a continuous mountain range appeared in everyone's eyes.
The terrain of this mountain range is vast, and the peaks are rolling up and down, one after another, until the end of the sight in the distance.
But unlike the vibrant rainforest, these mountain peaks are barren of grass and are as barren as the ancient wilderness.
And the most bizarre thing is that both the ground and the rocks here are all blood red.
Among the high mountains, there are several blood-red rivers flowing, and there is a force of blood in the air, as if the entire mountain range is a corpse of flesh and blood.
However, not only is there no fishy smell in the air, but it smells sweet!
Without letting anyone observe, Ebo led everyone into the blood-red mountains without stopping.
After quickly climbing over several peaks, they arrived at a huge mountain basin.
I saw several bloody rivers converging here, and at their junction, a huge bloody hall stood impressively!
This palace is extremely majestic, even compared with the majestic mountain peaks beside it, it is not far behind.
In addition, even outside the main hall, there are jade pillars and silver-lettered Yao steps, which are full of light and shine, emitting hundreds of millions of blood-red rays of light, making it look extremely spectacular.
After everyone saw it, they couldn't help but think of what kind of spectacular scene it would be inside the palace.
Of course, an idea also occurred in everyone's mind at the same time:
"The city lord really didn't lie to us, there must be many treasures here!"
As a result, everyone immediately subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the hall, which was blocked by two blood-colored stone doors, with countless blood-colored runes and various patterns carved on them, which looked extremely complicated!
Although everyone couldn't quite understand it, the five black holes on the stone door were very conspicuous, especially because there were two mysterious words marked next to each hole, namely: Yezha, Youming, Biphosphorus, and Jingshen.
, Yinghua.
Han Li immediately recognized two of them. They were the names of the two temples he had entered!
"City Lord, could this hall be the forbidden area you mentioned, and the blood-colored key obtained earlier will be used on that stone door?"
Qin Yuan was the first to ask.
"good."
Eva took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in her heart.
No one here knows how long he has been planning for today!
"Fellow Daoist Li, Chen Yang, please take out the Holy Key. We will open the door and go in without further delay."
As soon as his mood calmed down, Ewan turned around and looked at Han Li and Chen Yangdao.
"What a good Chenyang, you actually have the Holy Key on your body!"
Fu Jian was stunned when he heard this, and then he immediately pointed at the morning sun and said with an unkind look.
"Why can't Chen have it? Are we both city lords, so I have to ask you to help keep it?"
Chen Yang retorted at first, then flipped his palm and took out a holy key that glowed with blood.
"Li is also about to take out the holy key."
On the side, Han Li said with a normal expression, while flipping his palms and taking out two holy keys.
Seeing this scene, Fu Jian and others were shocked again. Obviously, they did not expect that Han Li had more than one holy key in his hand.
Eva nodded without any surprise at that moment, and then took out two holy keys.
In this way, the five holy keys needed to open the door are complete.
"I thought that if we wanted to open the door, we would definitely have to contend with the people from Puppet City. Unexpectedly, all five holy keys fell into the hands of our Xuancheng!"
Qin Yuan was extremely surprised.
Although he had provoked internal fighting before, he had never forgotten Puppet City.
However, after entering the Great Ruins, the monks in Puppet City seemed to have disappeared from the world, which is really worrying!
"It doesn't matter. As long as we get the opportunity first, we can take the initiative no matter what."
With that said, Ewan was about to take away the holy key from Han Li and Chen Yang.
There was no surprise on Chenyang's side, but Han Li spoke at this time:
"Wait a minute, before we go in, should we discuss how to distribute the treasures in the palace?"
Everyone was silent after hearing this, obviously having guessed what Han Li was thinking.
"Hmph! We have worked together to get this far. Of course, everyone has a share. Except for the city lord, everyone else can share it equally."
Fu Jian snorted coldly and immediately proposed.
Neither he nor Qin Yuan could obtain a holy key. If they didn't set this rule, they would definitely suffer big losses later.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang asked:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, you have not made any achievements along the way. How can you get the dignity to share it with us? Could it be that we owe you?"
"Okay, please stop saying a few words. It's really impossible to divide it equally, but it's just luck that you can get the Holy Key. I will make the decision and give you some more, but I won't make the gap between you too big."
Seeing that everyone was about to start shouting, Ewan immediately spoke and finalized the distribution.
Although everyone may not be very satisfied with his method, they can at least accept it, so the turmoil has died down before it even started.
"The method to open the door is very simple. You only need to insert the holy key into the small hole on the door at the same time. Now I will arrange it."
After collecting all the holy keys, Ehuang distributed four of them to Chen Yang, Fu Jian, Qin Yuan and Zhu Yan.
A moment later, the five of them arrived in front of the bloody stone door at the same time. Under Eva's order, they simultaneously inserted the holy key into the small hole in front of them!
Suddenly, the entire stone door rumbled and trembled, and the blood-colored lines on it all glowed with dazzling blood. Then there were only a few "ka-ka" sounds, and all five holy keys were sucked into the small holes and disappeared.
The next moment, five small holes shot out a stream of sticky blood light at the same time, and entangled each other like ropes, forming a huge bloody rune.
As soon as it took shape, the blood-colored rune suddenly sank into the stone door, causing the blood patterns on it to flash for a moment before all disappearing.
At this time, the two doors made a "squeak" sound and slowly opened inward, revealing a dark and spacious passage.
"Let's go."
Excitement flashed in E's eyes, and he walked through the door first.
Han Li and others did not hesitate at this moment and walked through the gate one after another and walked into the hall.
Then, there was a sound of friction, and the two stone doors were closed again.
However, no one felt any forbidden aura above them, so even though the door was closed, they did not panic at all.
Behind the palace gate was a passage. Not long after Ehuang took the lead, he came to a square.
At first, it was pitch black above the square, but soon, huge pearls lit up on the dome above the square, like stars in the night, illuminating the entire space.
Han Li looked up and felt that there seemed to be a Milky Way hanging above his head, as if he was standing in the wilderness at night.
The most important thing is that those pearls all exude a strong aura of stars and are very familiar to everyone.
"Are these all beast cores?"
"It is undoubtedly a beast core, and most of them are earth-level beast cores, and there are also a lot of heaven-level beast cores!"
"Oh my god, I have never seen so many beast cores? Even the Xuancheng treasure house is not as good as this place, right?"
Everyone did not expect that as soon as they entered the main hall, they were shocked by the inhumanity of the owner of this place.
Although there is astonishing wealth above their heads, no one has the intention to collect it at the moment. After all, looking at this posture, the real good things are still ahead!
The White Stone Square under everyone's feet was not that big. It was no more than a hundred feet forward and was separated by a fence.
Outside the fence, there is a bottomless dark abyss. There seems to be thick fog rolling down below, and bursts of cool wind blow up from time to time.
In the middle of the fence, there are three white stone arch bridges, all of which are more than ten feet wide and about a hundred feet long, leading to a huge white circular altar.
The altar is so big that it is ten thousand feet in diameter, like a round solitary peak, standing in the middle of the abyss.
Without saying a word, Eva led everyone across the stone arch bridge in the middle and arrived at the altar.
As soon as they stepped onto the altar, everyone's expressions changed, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
It turned out that just now, they simultaneously sensed an unimaginably powerful aura of flesh and blood.
Looking along the source of the aura, everyone discovered that the altar was not a flat stone platform, but a pentagonal pit with a radius of a hundred feet in the center. The heart-stopping aura of flesh and blood came from it.
!
And on the five corners of the five-pointed pit, there is a strange-looking stone sculpture of a black scaled animal.
Its body shape is like a toad, extremely fat, with two wings on its back, as if it is spreading its wings to fly, its neck is disproportionately long and slender, and a huge lizard-like head hangs in front of it, looking towards the direction of the pit.
When everyone looked at these five black stone sculptures of alien beasts that were more than ten feet high, their first reaction was to be on guard. After all, they had seen similar scenes in the temple before, and in the end those stone sculptures would turn into puppets and attack them.
Come and kill.
This place is obviously the core area of the Great Ruins. Who knows how powerful the puppets are, so no one dares to step forward rashly.
However, Ewan was obviously not among them. He jumped up and reached the edge of the five-cornered pit.
I saw that there was actually a huge sacrificial blood pool in the deep pit, with a huge amount of red blood rising and falling like the tide, and a thick layer of blood mist hanging on the surface.
When everyone saw that the stone sculptures did not move, they followed them with confidence. Soon they saw sections of crystal-clear white bones exposed from the blood surge, some of which looked like the huge sharp horns of some strange beasts, and some of which were like the huge sharp horns of some strange beasts.
It is like a white skull.
"What a powerful breath of flesh and blood. If it goes down directly, it will melt us into blood and water!"
Zhu Yan couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Haha, of course you can't go down directly, but as long as you use the right method, the energy and blood accumulated here for countless years can be turned into material for us!
For us Xuanxiu cultivators, this is the most precious opportunity in the world!"
Equan chuckled, not hiding his desire for the power of blood in the pit.
"See, those five statues are not there. They are the five positions of the Blood Sacrifice Formation. As long as we activate them, we can not only swallow the energy and blood in the pit together, but also suck out the bones below!"
"This city lord seems to be here for the first time, but why does he look so familiar with this place?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yan hesitated for a moment. He didn't know the details of the formation, so how dare he dare to activate it at will, but not in case he was actually sacrificed.
When the others heard this, they all looked at Ewan, obviously they also had the same doubts in their hearts.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu, I just got a stone tablet in my early years, which described the situation here.
Moreover, it takes five people to activate this formation, and I will be one of them.
As for the other four people, your four affiliated cities have all worked hard and made great achievements. Of course I will not take advantage of others for such a good thing.
Of course, if you want to give the opportunity to your subordinates, I have no objection."
Ewan's attitude was very casual, without the slightest hint of coercion.
"Of course Fu trusts the city lord, so I decided to take action myself!"
Fu Jian was the first to express his position, which caused Ehuang to nod.
Qin Yuan turned his eyes but did not follow immediately, but hesitantly said:
"City Lord, can you let us check the formation so that we can activate it later so that we can be more comfortable with it?"
"Of course, but hurry up, people from Puppet City may come at any time."
Ewan agreed immediately without any hint of guilt.
"You still need to check this, there must be something wrong!"
Han Li cursed in his heart when he heard this.
"Haha, Junior Brother Han also sees the problem?"
Luo Hong said secretly.
"I previously thought that he repeatedly prevented the four major city lords from fighting among themselves because he was worried about the Puppet City.
But now it seems that he obviously knew the situation here and did that in order to have enough manpower to activate the formation.
Senior Brother Luo, you have more knowledge than me, but can you tell what the formation is?"
Han Li had already concluded that activating the formation would be bad, but he didn't know what changes would happen.
"Just looking at it this way, Brother Wei can't identify what this formation is. But as long as we know that Ewan has ulterior motives, and combined with the violent aura of blood and water in this pit, it's not difficult to guess what he wants to do."
Luo Hong did not answer Han Li's question, but speculated.
"It was so painful for me to refine the sulfur blood cloud before. If I were to directly absorb such powerful and violent energy and blood, even with Ewan's profound Dao cultivation, I would definitely not be able to sustain it for long, so to speak."
Han Li turned his thoughts along Luo Hong's train of thought, and soon he had a clear idea in his mind.
