The refining techniques of this withered bone demon are quite clever, and its body is extremely flexible.
Thanks to this, Shen Lang can perfectly control this high-level puppet, and can even attach his spiritual thoughts to the withered bone demon.
Hua Ziling was already used to Shen Lang's methods. If it was a puppet action, it would indeed be much safer.
Moreover, the aura of the puppet that Shen Lang took out was very strong and should be able to withstand the suction of small space cracks.
Shen Lang first used his Qi Sword to determine the location of the many spatial cracks, and then found the right opportunity to control the Withered Bone Demon to rush towards a certain direction on the right side of the entrance to the ancestral hall.
"call out!"
The withered bone demon turned into a gray light and rushed into the gaps of many space cracks.
The surrounding space cracks generated a suction force, pulling the body of the Withered Bone Demon. A gray light suddenly emitted from the Withered Bone Demon's skeleton, resisting the suction force of the space crack, and rushed to the tribute table without any danger.
"call!"
Seeing this, Shen Lang and Hua Ziling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there are a large number of spatial cracks inside the ancestral hall, there are none around the tribute table.
The Withered Bone Demon's two hand bones grabbed two golden Huiyang Fruits on the tribute table, one in each hand.
Shen Lang carefully used a large number of air swords, determined the movement direction of those space cracks, and was about to control the Withered Bone Demon to fly out.
Just then.
The sound of several people talking suddenly came from not far away from the woods, which startled Shen Lang and Hua Ziling.
"Oops, someone is coming! Let's hide quickly!"
Shen Lang didn't have time to control the Withered Bone Demon to come back, so he immediately dragged Hua Ziling and hid in the grass behind the ancestral hall building. The two of them held their breaths.
…
I saw four people walking out of the dark woods, three men and one woman, all of whom looked very young.
The four of them were holding a piece of blood jade, and their entire bodies were shrouded in a layer of red light, cutting off the black mist in the air.
Three of them are actually Shen Lang's acquaintances, Duan Jian, Xue Fei and Murong Mingyue are among them!
"Brother Duan, we have been searching in this 'black forest' for half an hour, and we haven't seen the elders' ancestral hall in Penglai Palace?" Xuefei snorted coldly.
He was still wearing a blood-colored armor as usual, with a stern look on his face.
Murong Mingyue walked obediently beside Xue Fei, wearing a white dress and a phoenix hairpin on her head. She had a delicate and pretty face with glazed eyes, a charming smile, and a charming and mysterious temperament.
Because she possesses the Lingbao Eye, the Demon Palace also gave Murong Mingyue a place to enter the Penglai Palace and follow Xue Fei.
"Don't be impatient, Young Master Xue. How can treasures be so easy to find? My father told me some of Penglai Mountain's secrets before. It is true that this 'Black Forest' is quite good. There are many ancestral halls in Penglai Mountain, but only this place is Black Forest."
One place is intact. Ancient monks respected their ancestors very much, and the ancestral hall would usually place high-quality sacrifices. If we can find the ancestral hall, we will definitely not return empty-handed!"
Duan Jian chuckled and shook the folding fan in his hand, looking confident.
I haven’t seen you for a few months, but Duan Jian has already broken through to the late stage of pill formation!
After losing the duel with Shen Lang last time, Duan Jian felt extremely humiliated that he would lose to a garbage cultivator who was in the early stage of forming a pill.
This is not the point. What is important is that the news of his defeat spread widely, and it spread throughout Ziyang Palace in less than a month.
Duan Jian felt that he could no longer see anyone, so he hid in Ziyang Palace all day long and vowed to concentrate on practicing in seclusion. When his strength increased greatly, he must kill Shen Lang to wash away this shame!
Who would have known that Duan Jian would have such great luck? He tried to retreat to the later stages of elixir formation, but he succeeded in breaking through easily!
Duan Jian has the body of Dragon Roar, and his strength is at the peak of the middle stage of pill formation. Although his success in breaking through to the late stage is mostly due to luck, it is not particularly surprising.
After successfully breaking through the late stage of Dan Jie, Duan Jian came out again, shocking the entire Ziyang Palace. Daoyang was so happy that he valued him even more, and even gave him an ancient treasure and a place to enter Penglai Mountain.
It is well known to the monks in the alliance that the two strongest monks of the younger generation in the Yuanhe Sea Area are Xue Fei from the Heavenly Demon Palace and Li Wending from the Star Palace.
The two of them are only more than a hundred years old, but they have the cultivation level of the late stage of forming pills, and they are famous in Yuanhehai area.
Duan Jian was full of energy in the later stage of this breakthrough, feeling that he was even more awesome and had the strength to compete with Xue Fei and Li Wending.
As soon as he came out of seclusion, he was going to send people to search for Shen Lang's whereabouts and decided to kill the kid.
But it happened to coincide with the opening of Penglai Mountain, so Duan Jian temporarily put aside his plan to kill Shen Lang and prepared for entering Penglai Mountain first.
The alliance has clear requirements for monks in the Danjie stage who enter Penglai Mountain. They are not allowed to act alone and must form a team of more than three but less than five people.
It just so happened that Duan Jian, Xue Fei, and Li Wending, three young monks with high self-esteem, formed a team. Murong Mingyue only entered the team as Xuefei's maid.
"Young Master Duan is right. Regarding this 'black forest', I have received some information before. It is said that this place was polluted by the magic weapon left by the ancient demon many years ago, and later became windy and accompanied by poisonous fog. Ancient
Since the devil has stepped here, it means there must be something unusual in this place."
The young man who spoke was none other than Li Wending. He had white hair and an unspectacular appearance, but there was a golden mark between his eyebrows, giving people a strong sense of mystery.
"Young masters, don't be impatient. We have walked nearly half the distance, and the ancestral hall may be just ahead." Murong Mingyue smiled lightly.
The four of them were walking and chatting, and after passing through a dark forest, they saw an incomplete purple-gold palace building vaguely standing in front of them.
"Hahaha, Mingyue, you are such a lucky star! As soon as we finished speaking, we found it!" Xue Fei laughed.
"This should be the ancestral hall, I hope no one gets there first!" Duan Jian also had a happy look on his face.
"That's not necessarily true. The door of this ancestral hall is open. Maybe someone has already visited." Li Wending pointed to the open door outside the ancestral hall and said expressionlessly.
As soon as these words came out, the other three people frowned.
Without hesitation, the four of them immediately stepped forward to take a closer look.
There was only one tribute table and three spiritual places in the ancestral hall. There was also a strange skeleton sitting on the tribute table. Two plants were placed on the fruit plate on the tribute table.
This scene surprised the four of them.
Shen Lang's idea was very simple. The Withered Bone Demon had no time to come out, so he had to let it pretend to be dead and put the Huiyang fruit back on the tribute fruit plate.
If these people here are not smart enough and get excited when they see the Huiyang Fruit, they might just rush in and fight for it, and then be instantly killed by the space crack!
"It's the Huiyang Fruit!" Duan Jian yelled after seeing the golden spiritual fruit on the tribute fruit plate, and was about to rush in and grab one.
"Brother Duan, if I were you, I wouldn't be so reckless to get the results." Li Wending called out to him in time, with a hint of disdain on his expression.
"Brother Li, what do you mean?" Duan Jian stared at Li Wending with a hint of caution.
After all, Huiyang Fruit is too precious, but there are still two of them. This kind of spiritual fruit has already made three dozen people take action! Duan Jian must be vigilant of course.
Li Wending sneered: "Do you really think that the Huiyang Fruit was left there for us to pick up?"
Xuefei and Murong Mingyue remained calm. They also discovered this, so they took no action.
"This..." Duan Jian's eyes showed a trace of doubt.
A golden light appeared in Li Wending's eyebrows, and he said with a cold expression: "The two Taoist friends behind you don't need to hide. If you don't want Li to do it himself, just come out quickly!"
Shen Lang and Hua Ziling, who were hiding in the grass behind the building, were shocked.
"Damn it, I've been found out." Shen Lang cursed in his heart and his face became a little ugly.
