Chapter 208 Ancient Ruins
Lu Changan naturally won't sit still.
The moment the four foundation-building bags came up, he slapped the storage bag on his waist.
A leather armored puppet with a bow and arrow on its back appeared beside him, and a second-tier high-grade heavy armored puppet lined up on the left and right of Lu Changan.
Whoosh!
The heavy-armored puppet took the lead in attacking, flying around and killing the long-haired and glamorous woman in the late stage of foundation establishment, forcing the latter to not easily use the black lotus magical weapon to attack secretly.
Wearing a big cloak, the young man with a high nose bridge smiled calmly, put away the prototype of the magic weapon that consumed a lot, and sacrificed a giant ax and the best magic weapon.
Suddenly, the young man with a high nose bridge at the peak of Foundation Establishment felt a chill, feeling a faint sense of threat.
嗞嗞! Whoosh!
The leather puppet who had just appeared drew his long bow, blue arcs flickered on the bowstring, and a silver-gray arrow shot out of the string, piercing his face with the howling sound of wind and thunder.
"Second-order top puppet?"
The young man with a high nose bridge was surprised. He realized that he underestimated the enemy, and thought that Lu Changan could be easily captured by gang fights.
Feeling the threat of the arrow, he had no choice but to take back the half-flying giant ax and block it in front of him.
There was a thunderous roar, and the arrow exploded, stirring up a whirlwind.
A few wisps of blue arcs swayed on the surface of the giant axe, dimming the aura of the latter and making it unable to threaten Lu Changan.
"I missed it."
"This kid, is he actually a top-tier puppet master of the second rank?"
Renren Hu and Zhenren Tan looked at each other in surprise.
Simultaneously controlled two puppets of the second-tier top-rank and above, exerted impressive power, and restrained two late-stage foundation-builders.
You must be a puppeteer of the same rank to be able to do it.
The same puppets, controlled by ordinary monks and controlled by puppet masters are two different things. There is a clear gap between lethality and flexibility.
Of course, because it is one-to-many, the two puppets only restrain the two late-stage Foundation Establishment players for a short time.
Lu Changan's goal has been achieved.
The silver shield of the top grade magic weapon surrounds the whole body, blocking the attacks of the remaining two mid-stage foundation builders.
He made a formula in his hand, and dark green thorny vines sprang out from the swamp, like boa constrictors dancing wildly, growing wildly and rushing towards the two people in the middle stage of foundation establishment.
With Lu Changan's current mana strength, the power of casting wood-type spells is extraordinary, not to mention the suppression of realms.
The sixty-year-old man and middle-aged woman in the middle stage of foundation establishment were caught off guard and rushed to deal with it.
"snort!"
Lu Changan's eyes were like lightning, his cheeks twitched, and he opened his mouth to spit.
Boom!
A thunderous sound that shook the soul caused the eardrums of the two middle-stage Foundation Establishment students to tingle, their qi and blood were churning, their viscera cramped, and their bodies stiffened for a moment.
This technique is the [Thunder Sound Technique], which is more difficult to practice in the foundation building period, and its power depends on the strength of mana and consciousness.
The effect is more obvious when the high level is applied to the low level.
"ah!"
The middle-aged woman's mana foundation was slightly weak, her body sank, her lower body was entangled by dark green thorns and vines, and she was dragged into the poisonous swamp.
Grrrrrrrrr!
After sinking into the poisonous swamp, the middle-aged woman was **** by the rattan spell, and her body festered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if she woke up, she was powerless.
"Really save me!"
Another sixtieth old man in the middle stage of foundation establishment, when he was awake, he cast a secret technique, and a cloud of blood mist erupted on his legs, shattering the two thorns and vines wrapped around his legs.
But the remaining large vines are scrambling to surround them.
"Bold! How dare you kill Ben Zhenren's subordinates?"
Tall Tan Zhenren, with a gloomy face, rolled up Danli Lanhui with his palm from the air, and with a "boom", crushed a large piece of thorns and vines emerging from the swamp.
"Thank you, Zhenren Tan, for helping me."
The sixtieth old man in the middle stage of foundation establishment, survived the catastrophe, sweating profusely.
"Dare to ask the two real people, are you still short of people?"
Lu Changan smiled and stopped making shots.
After he showed off his second-tier top puppeteer skills, the attitudes of the two real people changed significantly.
Otherwise, if he kills one person, he will definitely be killed in a fit of rage.
The two real people looked displeased and stared at Lu Changan coldly.
Before, when they discovered Lu Changan's puppeteer skills, they hesitated.
But I didn't expect that when Lu Changan hit four, he would actually kill a subordinate in the middle stage of foundation establishment.
This is equivalent to hitting two real people in the face in public.
Fairy Shi's pretty face turned pale, and she looked at the all-too-familiar young face in surprise.
Also in Wu Qishan, she once speculated that Lu Changan was not simple, but she didn't expect to hide it so deeply.
In addition to the talisman master, the more difficult puppet skills have reached the top level of the second level.
However, considering that Lu Changan's advancement is slow and the years are long, it is theoretically possible to cultivate another art of cultivating immortals to a high level.
…
After a brief exchange between the two real people, Tan Zhenren said:
"Boy Lu, your identity as a puppet master is of little help to us in exploring the ruins and breaking the formation."
"However, if you kill Ben Zhenren's subordinates, your crime cannot be redeemed. Ben Zhenren gives you two choices."
"Oh? Tan Zhenren, please tell me."
Lu Changan was not surprised by this. His choice to demonstrate the true skill of the puppet master foreshadowed the next step.
At that time, he had other options, such as using the treasure talisman to escape, and the real fake Dan could not catch up.
There are unknown variables in doing so, and it may be missed by the ancient ruins.
If you fight against a real person.
This place is located in the deep area of the Black Mist Mountains, and the fighting moves are too loud, which can easily alarm the powerful monsters nearby.
"First, atone for your sin with death, and pay the price for your arrogance!"
"Second, admit your mistakes on your knees, surrender to us, and let Zhenren Hu plant a ban."
Murdering intent appeared in Tan Zhenren's eyes, and he locked on Lu Changan with his fake alchemy-level consciousness.
"Senior Hu, can you forgive one or two? Fellow Daoist Lu's puppet is of great help in breaking the formation of the ruins."
Shi Manrong looked at the short black-bearded old man in front of him, bowed down, and begged.
Snapped!
Fairy Shi tilted her head, leaving a red and swollen palm print on her fair cheek.
"Give you face?"
Renren Hu's complexion sank, and he withdrew his fanning palm.
"If you spare your life, you don't know how to be grateful, and dare to intercede for others?"
Feeling the burning pain on the face, Shi Manrong's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
The worst situation finally appeared.
Not only Lu Changan wants to impose restrictions, but she too.
This Hu Zhenren, when we met before, was kind and kind, and he gave advice on Shi Manrong's formation.
As a third-tier formation mage, Hu Zhenkou has a good reputation, and there are no rumors of bullying.
However, under the huge benefits of the ancient relics, losing the rules of the human world, the formerly approachable predecessors revealed the dark side of their hearts.
"Boy Lu, give me the answer as soon as possible, my time is precious."
Tan Zhenren's expression was indifferent, and he used the magic weapon of the simple ruler.
Lu Changan frowned, and turned his hand to take out a talisman engraved by Thunder Rune.
The vaguely dangerous aura on the talisman caused the three Foundation Establishment cultivators to back off with fear.
"This is a quasi-third-order 'Thunder Talisman'."
Lu Changan held the talisman between his fingers, and the magic power faintly flowed from his fingertips.
The two real people were stunned, and then they reacted immediately.
"Stop!"
Tan Zhenren scolded angrily.
"Master Lu, I have something to discuss."
Renren Hu squeezed out a smile on his face, and quickly comforted him.
A quasi-third-level talisman has limited threats to the fake alchemy real person.
However, [Thunder Talisman] is extraordinary.
The movement of this talisman is very powerful!
Once activated, at least the monsters with a radius of hundreds of miles will be alarmed.
In the surrounding area, there are quasi-third-level monsters, and there are third-level big monsters in the depths.
Once such a terrifying existence is attracted, the consequences will be disastrous.
If Lu Changan activated the [Thunder Talisman], it would be tantamount to exposing the location of the ancient ruins, which would definitely attract the detection of powerful monsters around.
When the attention of the two real people was diverted.
Shua!
Fairy Shi flashed back to Lu Changan.
Gritting her silver teeth tightly, with a determined face, she sacrificed a prototype of a golden ring-shaped magic weapon.
Turned to Lu Changan's back, with his back against his back, to prevent one of the real people from attacking Lu Changan from behind.
Seeing her performance, Lu Changan nodded secretly.
Fairy Shi should have given up the idea of seeking refuge.
If you join the two real people, your wealth and life are at your discretion.
Decades ago, the prohibition that Qi Zhenren planted on her left a deep shadow.
Right now, she is cooperating with Lu Changan, and there is still some possibility of resistance.
"Two real people, if you don't want to reveal the location of the ancient ruins, listen to Lu."
Lu Changan said slowly.
"Little friend Lu, please tell me."
Renren Hu is amiable and makes eye contact with Zhenren Tan, feeling a little helpless.
The strength of Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi is beyond the usual late stage of foundation establishment, and the fake alchemy real person can't kill them quickly.
"In addition to the thunderbolt, Lu has other means of threatening the fake alchemy real person."
Lu Changan said slowly.
Hearing the words, the two real people looked thoughtful, and they didn't know how much they believed.
Lu Changan continued: "We agree to assist the two real people in exploring the ancient ruins. At that time, the harvest in the ruins will depend entirely on personal luck and ability."
"We have no objection to Lu Xiaoyou's proposal."
Zhenren Tan and Zhenren Hu quickly reached an agreement.
No matter what, let's stabilize Lu Changan first.
…
"Little friend Lu and Fairy Shi, please come in."
On the mountain wall flush with the swamp, there is a stone gate leading to the ground.
Two fake alchemy real people and three foundation-building monks are in a row.
Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi stood on the other side.
The three Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at the two newcomers with complicated expressions.
"go in."
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong made eye contact.
They have been waiting for this ancient ruin for many years. At this time, it is the best choice to advance as retreat.
The two fake Dan real people will never allow them to leave.
The two entered the stone gate together.
Inside the stone gate, there is a tunnel extending underground.
The lower you go, the more open the ground becomes.
During this period, Lu Changan smelled a rancid smell of swamp.
Obviously, the ancient ruins to which the tunnel leads are located further below the poisonous gas swamp.
In the process of going down.
Zhenren Tan and Zhenren Hu followed behind without any intention of doing anything.
Before closing the stone gate, Master Hu strengthened the third-order cover formation outside and added restrictions.
not long.
The tunnel reached the end, and a bright and open underground space appeared before the eyes.
A group of exotic ancient buildings, shrouded in the dim light of the broken formation, spread for dozens of miles.
After a long period of time, the power of the formation has been lost, and the surface of those ancient buildings has also become weathered. In a small number of areas, there are ruins of ruins.
At first glance, it looks like a lost ancient city.
"This ruin was once the habitat of an ancient civilized race. I don't know how many years have passed through the years and the vicissitudes of life. This ruin was discovered by a recent ancient sect and transformed it into a refuge and a spare treasure house."
Lu Changan recalled the information in the jade tube.
After entering the Black Mist Mountain Range, Shi Manrong once gave him a jade tube, briefly describing the general situation of the ruins.
"The formation around the ruins is incomplete, and there is no one out of ten. However, you still have to be careful of possible hidden restrictions and traps."
"In the interior and center of the ruins, there is a relatively complete fourth-order remnant formation, which is more powerful than the ordinary third-order formation and is difficult to attack by force. In addition to the formation and prohibition, there are still some unknown risks."
"Real Qi broke through a key gate in the ruins and found 'Yin Yang Water' and 'Xuantian Vine', but unfortunately fell into a trap and died."
…
"Fairy Shi, the route in this area is about six or seven miles. I have checked it before and confirmed that there is no danger."
The short Daoist Hu stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed to a gap in the formation around the ruins.
"There is a big gap in the formations here. I also started from here decades ago. However, the formations in the ruins have a certain automatic repair function."
The two formation masters kept a distance, discussing the formation restriction in the ruins.
It seems that Zhenren Tan and Zhenren Hu have no plans to do anything in a short time.
After all, Shi Manrong and Lu Changan are of great value in conquering and exploring ancient ruins.
If they are strong, the two of Lu Changan are very strong, and they will end up dying together, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Entered the ancient ruins and could not leave easily.
At that time, what big opportunity is there, not just talking with fists?
Wait until the use value is exhausted, and the final settlement is not too late.
"Two fake alchemy real people, including a third-order formation master, and three strong foundation builders together attack the ancient ruins, and the chances of winning and fault tolerance have increased a lot."
"Where can I find such a lineup?"
Lu Changan thought to himself.
Tan Zhenren led the way in front, and walked towards the central area of the ancient ruins through the proven path.
Along the way, Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi stopped and went, inspecting nearby ancient buildings, gardens, and ruins.
This made the two real people look impatient.
"This area has been explored for several months, and there is nothing of value, so there is no need to waste time."
Tan Zhenren said bluntly.
Lu Changan understands this principle, and this path has been explored twice in the past few decades.
It was the first time for Shi Xianzi and Qi Zhenzhen, and this time is the second time.
If there is any treasure, it should have already fallen into the pockets of several real people.
But out of safety, Lu Changan wanted to find out the nearby geographical environment and check for possible hidden dangers.
Especially guard against Hu Zhenren, a third-tier formation master, who has hidden formation traps around him.
The formations laid down by the third-tier formation masters are not a small threat to the true alchemy monks.
After searching for several miles, Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi found nothing unusual.
The prohibitions and remnants on the path have basically been conquered. The few invincibles are simply bypassed.
Squeak!
From Lu Changan's spiritual pet bag, a ground rock mouse the size of a puppy drilled out, and under the master's instruction, went to some corners of the ruins to investigate.
"What's the girl's name?"
Lu Changan turned his gaze to the glamorous long-haired woman behind Tan Zhenren.
This female cultivator's magic technique is the only one among the three foundation-building monks opposite that has not been banned.
The domineering Tan Zhenzhen is still polite to this woman.
Lu Changan noticed that after learning of his identity, the long-haired woman had secretly paid attention to him.
But he didn't dare to look at it directly, he seemed afraid and curious.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you can call me Miss Wei."
The long-haired woman smiled without showing her teeth, and bowed.
Zhenren Tan glanced at Miss Wei strangely. Such a reserved and polite look was not her style.
Could it be that he fell in love with that little boy?
With Lu Changan's appearance and demeanor, his powerful means of staying calm in times of crisis are indeed quite attractive.
The path that has been explored, two-thirds of the way, Lu Changan suddenly stopped.
Squeak!
In front of a thick half wall of an ancient building, the rock rat waved its claws, showing doubts.
