Seeing that the monster did not come out, Ma Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Ouyang Zilan and others with a serious expression: "Now we have two ways. First, leave here quickly! This way we will be safe.
But I can’t find the fragments of the Tiangong map. Secondly, return to the stone tower and look for the whereabouts of the fragments of the Tiangong map. Which way do you think we should choose?”
"Go back!" Ouyang Zilan was the first to express her stance: "I'm not willing to go back like this!"
"I'm not willing to give in!" Ouyang Wuwei shook his head: "There is only the last fragment left. As long as we find the last fragment, we can identify the authenticity of the Tiangong map..."
Hu Yandong frowned and said nothing.
"Senior Huyan, what do you think?" Ma Xiaoyao asked softly.
"...The green-haired monster ran up to the stone tower...There are so many masters on it, and there is a big shot like Jin Tianwei controlling the situation. It would be difficult for the green-haired monster to go on a killing spree..." Hu Yandong said in a deep voice.
"So..." Ma Xiaoyao looked at Hu Yandong: "What do you mean?"
Hu Yandong took a deep breath: "Go back! Go back to the stone tower!"
After some discussion, everyone finally decided to return to the stone tower.
…
I ran to the seventh floor in one breath. Along the way, there were corpses everywhere and blood flowed all over the ground.
Several people stood next to the broken floor and looked down. There was nothing underneath.
"I'll go down to explore the way first. If it's safe, you can come down again." Ma Xiaoyao jumped down. He reached out and pulled out a soft sword from his waist, placed it in front of him, and then scanned his surroundings with a vigilant expression.
There is a character carved on the wall to the east, which is in tadpole script. Ma Xiaoyao doesn't recognize it, but he can guess that it is the character "six", and the top is the seventh floor, and this should be the sixth floor.
"Xiaoyao, is it safe down there?" Ouyang Zilan shouted from above.
"It's safe, come down." Ma Xiaoyao responded.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Ouyang Zilan and others jumped down from above.
Hu Yandong saw the words on the east wall at a glance, and whispered softly: "Six!"
Sure enough, it was "six", just as he guessed! Ma Xiaoyao nodded secretly.
"There is a bunch of green hair here... It should be the green haired monster that fell off."
"The surroundings are empty, not a single treasure..."
"There is a staircase here that leads down."
"Let's go down and have a look."
…
It's strange to say that there are only no stairs between the seventh and sixth floors, which are separated by the floor. The remaining floors are connected by stairs.
The fifth floor...there are no treasures.
The fourth floor... still no treasures.
When they reached the third floor, they finally found the treasure.
"This is... an egg? It's so gray... so ugly." Ouyang Zilan said with a frown.
"Look! There is a crack on the egg, and a green hair is exposed in the crack..."
"Green hair? Could it be the eggs laid by the green-haired monster?"
"It's very possible!"
"Hurry up and put this egg away, it's our life-saving talisman! With this egg, that green-haired monster won't dare to attack us!"
"Yes, put it away! It fits perfectly in your backpack."
…
After putting away the eggs, several people followed the stairs to the second floor.
"There is a stone platform here... Huh? There is still white air emitting from it..."
"This is not an ordinary stone platform, it is filled with thousands of years of ice." Hu Yandong was well-informed and could tell the origin of the stone platform at a glance.
"Millennium Ice?" Ouyang Zilan was very surprised.
"Yes, it's the thousand-year ice!" Hu Yandong nodded solemnly: "The white air you see... is the cold air emitted by the thousand-year ice!" Hu Yandong said.
"Cold? But I don't feel any chill?" Ouyang Zilan asked doubtfully.
"You go into some and try." Hu Yandong waved his hand.
Ouyang Zilan took a few steps forward as instructed: "Oh! It's really a bit cold... It's really cold!"
Hu Yandong smiled and said: "Do you believe it now? It stands to reason that the cold air released by the Millennium Ice will be very strong and can be sensed no matter how far away it is... It's just that the Millennium Ice has been stored for too long, causing the cold air to weaken significantly.
…”
"Why is the stone platform mixed with thousands of years of ice? What is the purpose?"
"For practice!"
"Practice?"
"Yes, just for practicing kung fu. The cold air of the thousand-year ice is very helpful for practicing Yin Leng Kung Fu. Mixing the thousand-year ice into the stone platform and sitting cross-legged on it to practice kung fu will get twice the result with half the effort."
"I see."
"Thousand-year-old ice is a treasure that can only be found but cannot be found. A small piece can be sold for a sky-high price. According to my observation, there should be a lot of thousand-year-old ice in the stone platform... It is a pity that after long years of running-in, the thousand-year-old ice has become
It has become one with the stone platform and cannot be separated at all..."
"We might as well move this stone platform out!"
"Move it out? This stone platform weighs tens of thousands of kilograms at least. We can't even move it with our strength."
"What should we do?"
"I can only put it here first, and then find a way to get it out later."
"Let's go and have a look at the next floor."
After thoroughly studying the stone platform, the group of people followed the stairs to the first floor.
"It's so hot!" Ouyang Zilan frowned.
"Did you see it? There is a big stove in the middle, and there is actually a flame burning in the stove." Ma Xiaoyao looked very surprised: "It can be seen from various signs that this stone tower has existed for at least a thousand years, that is to say,
The flames in the furnace have been burning for thousands of years! Unbelievable... What is there in the furnace? It can actually burn for thousands of years without being extinguished!"
"We'll find out when we go over and take a look." Ouyang Zilan's curiosity was aroused again: "There is a stone platform mixed with thousands of years of ice on the upper floor, and there is a large stove on this floor.
Once it's hot, it's really symmetrical."
"Don't rush there yet, beware of any traps." Ma Xiaoyao took out a flying needle from his backpack, flicked his wrist, and the flying needle flew towards the big stove opposite.
Dozens of flying needles spread out and covered the large furnace in a fan shape.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
After dozens of flying needles hit the stove, they fell to the ground one after another. There was silence around the stove, and no mechanism was exposed.
"It's safe!" After confirming that there were no traps, Ouyang Zilan rushed over quickly. When he was still one meter away from the stove, Ouyang Zilan stopped: "It smells so hot!"
At this time, Ma Xiaoyao and others also gathered around and stared at the big stove to examine it carefully.
"This should be a copper stove."
"There are some patterns carved on it, and there are wear and tear in some places."
"This stove gives me a very vicissitudes of life. It must have been around for a long time."
"Open the lid of the stove and see what's going on inside. It's still burning after thousands of years. It's definitely not an ordinary thing."
"You all stand back and let me open the lid of the stove!" Ma Xiaoyao used a soft sword to lift the lid of the stove. The lid was very heavy. Ma Xiaoyao used a lot of strength to open a corner. "Bang!" A fire light came from inside the stove.
He jumped out and almost burned Ma Xiaoyao's clothes.
The fire went away as quickly as it came, and retracted into the furnace in the blink of an eye.
After waiting for a moment and making sure it was safe, Ma Xiaoyao continued to use the soft sword to lift the lid of the stove.
Provocation little by little...
“Chachacha…”
The heavy lid was slowly removed, and streaks of hot fire light burst out from the furnace, like elves in the fire, jumping and playing happily.
"Bang!"
The lid was finally opened, and a suffocating heat wave burst out from the furnace, making the air around it crackle.
Ma Xiaoyao and others quickly backed away, fearing that they would be injured by the heat wave. They waited for several minutes before the heat wave slowly subsided, and the streaks of fire that shot out of the furnace also subsided. Several people came forward and looked towards the furnace.
Look inside.
"Uh... there is a pool of liquid inside, a golden liquid. This is what has been burning for thousands of years."
"Looks like grease."
"I smell a very special smell, a little fishy, a little bitter, and a little smelly..."
"It should be some kind of animal fat, right?"
"Look! There's something in the grease!"
"...It's a bead? A fiery red bead..."
"This bead has been roasted by flames for thousands of years and yet it's safe and sound. It's definitely not an ordinary product!"
"Find a way to fish out the beads! Study it and see what kind of treasure it is?"
Just when everyone was about to fish for beads, a loud roar suddenly came from the stairs, and then a green-haired monster broke in!
"roar!!!!"
The green-haired monster was covered in blood, with a ferocious expression, and rushed towards Ma Xiaoyao and others!
Ma Xiaoyao and others hurriedly dodged around, "Boom!!!" The green-haired monster couldn't get back in time and knocked over the big stove. When the stove fell, the liquid inside immediately flowed out, and the fiery red bead followed.
fell out.
Although the liquid flowed out, the flame did not go out and was still burning strongly.
"Zi la!"
A drop of burning liquid splashed on the chest of the green-haired monster, "Bang!" The flames flew, burning a lot of green hair in an instant, and a pungent burning smell began to permeate the entire floor, "Ouch!!!" Green
The hairy monster screamed, and slapped the flame on its chest with two claws. Unfortunately, the effect was not good. The vitality of the liquid flame was very tenacious. No matter how hard the green-haired monster slapped it, it could not extinguish the liquid flame. In the end, the green-haired monster had no choice.
I could only scream and run away.
Just when Ma Xiaoyao and others were about to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, the green-haired monster suddenly came back. The liquid flame on its chest had been extinguished, and the entire skin had been burned, making it look horrible.
An icy cold air emanated from the green-haired monster.
Obviously, the green-haired monster extinguished the liquid flames with the help of the thousand-year-old ice in the stone platform above.
The predecessors who built the stone tower must have thought of this, so they placed the thousand-year ice on the second floor to restrict the liquid flames in the furnace on the first floor.
