Now Bai Ran and others are walking in a maze-like place.
There are criss-crossing bluestone passages, tall, solid and thick walls, and every time you pass through an intersection, you will see a stone door carved with strange runes.
These stone gates are the same size in appearance, more than ten feet long and wide, in a square shape. Sometimes they face south, sometimes they face north, and some are open in the east-west direction. There seems to be no pattern. But there is a faint white light shining on them.
It's just that some kind of restriction has been placed on it.
Although it usually takes a long distance to reach a crossroads, Bai Ran secretly estimated that after walking along the way, he saw at least seven or eight stone doors. And this did not include the group of people with him.
Intersections on other parallel routes.
As a result, the number of stone gates is really quite large!
They passed another intersection in front of them, and there was such a stone door standing in the direction facing everyone.
Bai Ran's expression moved.
This door is a little different from the previous ones. Although it has the same runes and other reliefs, it is dull and has no brilliance at all, as if the restriction has been broken.
As a result, Bai Ran looked at it twice more with a strange look on his face.
"Junior brother Bai, this stone chamber has been taken away from the treasure a long time ago. What is there to see? If not everyone can only use the residual map of Xutian in their hands to open the door of one side of the stone chamber, and once they enter, no matter whether they succeed in taking out the treasure, they will never see it again.
If you can't come out, those who get the treasure will be sent directly to Xutian.
Outside the temple, I would also like to pick out a stone door and break through it. After all, we, the monks at the alchemy stage, can only get the treasures from the first floor. As for the other floors, it will be almost as easy as committing suicide after we enter."
Wu Chou on the side saw the expression on Bai Ran's face and said with great enthusiasm and familiarity.
"Junior Brother Bai?"
When Bai Ran heard this title coming from Wu Chou's mouth, even though he had heard it more than once, he still felt uncomfortable all over.
Finally, he had extraordinary concentration, and replied with a smile without any abnormality on his face:
"Then Brother Wu, why don't you choose one and go in to get the treasure? Otherwise, waiting until the second floor or above will be a waste of this rare opportunity."
"Ahem! That's what I think. But my ancestors have told me a long time ago that I must always be by his side when collecting the treasure. Maybe it will be useful to me someday." Wu Chou stared at the stone door with a trace of reluctance.
In his eyes, a look of greed flashed across his face.
Bai Ran smiled slightly after hearing this, and his eyes only glanced at the stone door. But the words that as long as you enter, you can be teleported after getting the treasure, he kept in mind.
Who knows whether he will use this method to escape in the future?
At this time, the group of people was about to cross this intersection and enter the bluestone road ahead.
But at this moment, a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from the opposite side, and then the sound sounded one after another, as if something huge was slowly approaching everyone.
The faces of Patriarch Jiyin and Master Qingyi changed slightly, and they stopped walking. They stared at the passage opposite, with solemn expressions in their eyes.
When Barbarian Beard heard this voice, he smiled and showed a hint of excitement. At the same time, a golden light flashed on his body, and a layer of shiny golden scales suddenly appeared on his body, and he started to activate the Demonic Technique.
It was the first time Bai Ran saw the strange image of the Demonic Power up close, and he couldn't help but take a curious look at Man Beard at this time.
But Man Beard sensitively sensed Bai Ran's gaze. He actually turned around and smiled ferociously at him. With the broken scales all over his face, his smile was extremely terrifying.
Bai Ran felt a thump in her heart, not knowing what the other party meant, but she still smiled reluctantly at him.
Fortunately, Manbeard immediately turned around after laughing.
And the heavy moving sound got closer and closer, seeming to be only twenty or thirty feet away.
But the passage opposite was pitch dark, and Bai Ran couldn't see anything clearly. Apparently there were still some restrictions in the inner temple, which limited the monks' spiritual consciousness to a certain extent.
But Bai Ran noticed that Jiyin Patriarch and other old monsters had a cold look in their eyes, but they seemed to see something.
Before Patriarch Jiyin and the old man in Confucian shirt could take action, Manbeard let out a low roar and suddenly transformed into a golden light and flew into the passage.
Then a "whooshing" sound of punches and kicks suddenly rose in the distance, mixed with the "choking" sound of metal touching, which was extremely harsh!
When Ji Yin and the old man in Confucian shirt saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Bai Ran was extremely confused when there was a loud "bang" sound, followed by a crisp cracking sound, as if something was broken into pieces.
Bai Ran's heart moved, and she vaguely thought of something.
At this time, the other side fell silent. Then the wild bearded man laughed loudly, seeming to be extremely happy.
"Let's go! It's alright. I almost forgot. We are not the same as we were three hundred years ago. The guards on this first level no longer pose a threat to us." Jiyin Patriarch seemed to have remembered something,
He burst into laughter.
"Yes! I almost forgot about this. The last time Qing came here, he had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, and this thing left a deep impression on us. But Brother Man's Heaven-Entrusting Demonic Skill is just right to deal with them. Otherwise.
It will take a lot of effort for us to deal with it now." The old man in Confucian shirt also looked relaxed and chuckled.
Then the two of them took the lead and walked forward. Bai Ran and Wu Chou followed closely curiously. However, Xuan Gu, who was originally expressionless, showed a hint of disdain and walked at the end calmly.
After only walking a distance of more than ten feet, Bai Ran saw Manbeard standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, and there was a lot of silvery things at his feet.
"Yes, this thing is just right for me to warm up. This Xutian Temple is finally really interesting! However, this thing doesn't seem to be as powerful as the rumors say!" When Man Beard saw Ji Yin and others, he moved his neck.
, said lightly.
"This is because Brother Man's Demonic Power is extremely sharp, and it would be a bit troublesome for other monks to use magic weapons in such a narrow place." The old man in Confucian shirt said with a smile on his face.
After hearing the flattery in the other party's words, Manbeard smiled and said nothing more.
The golden scales on his body were fading away quickly, and then he took the lead without hesitation. It seemed that the fight just now was not enough.
The two Jiyin looked at each other with smiles. Manbeard was willing to open the way for them, so they followed suit with a muffled voice, naturally happy to do so.
When passing the pile of silver things, Bai Ran stopped and lowered his head to take a closer look.
"Mechanism puppet!" It is indeed such a thing. But what level of puppet is this? It can actually fight with a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk for a while without being killed instantly. Bai Ran was a little shocked.
Most of the ground was broken into pieces of unknown silver metal. In addition, there were half a broken golden wolf head, several thick black blades, and other miscellaneous strange things.
"Don't look at it. These materials are indeed extremely rare, but they cannot be refined into magic weapons. Someone has already taken them back and tried them." Xuan Gu said calmly as he flashed past him, and then did not look back.
's gone.
Bai Ran was slightly startled, but still looked at the ground as if he hadn't heard anything.
His eyes fell on a green gemstone. The object was flickering and exuding an extremely cold aura, giving him a very strange feeling.
After pondering for a while, Bai Ran immediately started to sweep away all these things and put them into the storage bag, and then followed the group of people in front of him again.
Bai Ran's idea is very simple. Even if these things are really useless, the design, structure and refining techniques of this puppet can always let him understand some of the ancient monks' puppetry skills and characteristics.
After all, the fourth-level puppet on the highest level of his Puppet Manual is only equivalent to the fake elixir level in the later stage of foundation building. It is the giant tiger that I saw that day. A full-strength strike will consume an intermediate-level spiritual stone.
Puppet beast.
The strength of these golden wolf-headed puppets should be higher than that of the monks in the early stage of forming the pill. Although Barbarian Beard did not use any powerful magic weapon when fighting with them, it seemed a bit childish. However, Ji Yin and the old man in Confucian shirts paid so much attention to them.
You can tell how extraordinary they are by looking at them.
With such a good thing, Bai Ran naturally wanted to research some ways to come up with it.
Besides, looking at the current situation, he definitely has no chance to enter these stone gates to get any treasures.
After all, he sensed very clearly that although the three Nascent Soul stage old monsters were walking in front, his every move was under the surveillance of several people at the same time. He wanted to sneak away halfway or suddenly break into those stone doors.
, is purely wishful thinking.
And with Bai Ran's character, it's a bit unwilling to enter a treasured place and return empty-handed.
Let's take these destroyed puppet parts as some comfort for him during his trip to the inner palace!
As for the treasure of the Xutian Cauldron, Bai Ran, who was very self-aware, had never even expected it.
