Chapter 31 Sneak Attack
Luo Furong's face seemed to be covered with frost, and the stone bricks she stepped on had cracked. If the mission was not important, this kid would have shed his skin even if he died.
Xie Huan swam four or five miles to the north and saw a similar building, which was more than half the size of the one in the center.
He swam to the top, observed it first, and then released his consciousness. He did not find any danger. He also found a dark entrance at the top, which contained the auras of a large number of creatures. One of them was very powerful, and it was actually the head.
It's a sea beast, and it's in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Xie Huan walked towards the entrance, holding his right hand emptyly, a little cold air gathering in his palm, accompanied by a slight sword energy flowing through his fingertips.
The divine thought is connected to the ice cliff sword in the ring, and the sword energy can be cut out in an instant.
"Gulu gulu."
A large number of creatures emerged from the entrance, all of which were swimming fish, squid, jellyfish and the like.
Suddenly two vermilion eyes appeared at the entrance of the hole, and they looked at Xie Huan. After blinking a few times, a green seahorse rushed out, with its body covered with sword-like barbs.
Before Xie Huan could make a move, the seahorse ejected a large amount of bubbles from its mouth, and the surrounding water flow became turbulent, wrapping it up. With a "whoosh", it jumped out dozens of feet away, and then swayed its body and swam away.
In the sea, one sea beast of the same level is against three human monks, but this seahorse and Xie Huan looked at each other and realized the huge danger, so it was best to go directly.
Xie Huan was stunned for a moment, then loosened his fingers, and the cold air dissipated from his fingertips.
This seahorse could be worth a few thousand. He originally wanted to take it away with a sword, but now that the sea beasts are surrounding the island, the price of the sea beasts has been all the way to the bottom. Now it is probably difficult to sell it for hundreds of dollars, and seeing that it looks cute, he just
Just let it go with a kind heart.
Xie Huan used his spiritual sense to check the entrance again, and after confirming that there was no danger, he sneaked in.
Inside is a hall-like space, made of gray boulders. It is very empty. There are many complex formations carved on the ground, intertwined, and there are more than a dozen stone pillars, some standing on the ground, some upside down, and above.
They are all painted with some navy blue and some strange patterns.
On the four walls, there are some jade stones inlaid at regular intervals. They are as big as a screen and as transparent as a mirror. When you are in the hall, you can reflect countless of your own shadows.
"I'm afraid this place has been abandoned for I don't know how many years."
Xie Huan carefully observed the formation diagram on the ground, then went to the stone pillar to check the degree of damage.
With his ability, it is not difficult to repair it, it only takes a day or two.
Suddenly, behind a stone pillar, I found a sitting corpse. The flesh and blood had long been cleansed, leaving only the skeleton. Many things were scattered on the ground next to it, half-hidden in the sand.
Xie Huan stepped forward carefully, summoned the Ice Cliff Sword and held it in his hand. He gently stirred the bones, and with a "click" they all fell apart and shattered into pieces in the sea water.
Only then is it certain that there is no danger.
Then he started to rummage through the items on the ground, and found many good things, including magic weapons, ores, auxiliary tools, talismans, jade slips, and other scattered items. There were actually hundreds of them.
Can you still have sex for nothing while doing tasks?
Xie Huan was very pleased that among these things, there were actually two high-grade magical instruments, a brass-colored ancient mirror and a black hammer.
Regardless of other things, the value of these two pieces alone is at least 60,000 yuan each. Adding them all together, it is conservatively estimated to be around 180,000 yuan.
It is true that no one can be rich without windfall.
The forced king was really right...God loves us and has given us a windfall.
Among these items, there are no spiritual stones and elixirs.
After thinking about it for a moment, he understood that it must be that after the monk passed away, the magic weapon he carried exploded, and things were scattered all over the floor. The spiritual energy of the spirit stone dispersed into the sea water, and the elixir was eaten by the swimming fish.
Lost.
"Thank you for your gift."
Xie Huan was in a good mood. He bowed to the pile of broken bones and waved his hand again, causing all the items on the ground to tremble and fly into his storage bag.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed on the jade in the distance.
Xie Huan suddenly felt his body stagnate, and an indescribable danger surged through his body.
Regardless of collecting the treasure, he hurriedly patted his waist, and the golden light of the word "Dou" radiated out, wrapping himself in a space and instantly distorting it.
"laugh!"
An undetectable ripple rippled past his body, and the sea water was cut in half.
"Hey!"
Before Xie Huan could react, an extremely strong wave of water swept from behind.
It was like the sea water was folded, and the overwhelming pressure was directly stacked on the body, like carrying a mountain, and a white light appeared in the water waves, which was a folding fan. Under the light fan, five flying knives broke through the water.
Xie Huan knew that he was being ambushed, and there were more than one person in the ambush. Without thinking about it, he clapped his left hand on his chest, and green light flashed out.
The sea water stacked on the body was swept away by the green light and evaporated instantly.
The Ice Cliff Sword followed the trend, drawing green frost in the air, and pointed at the five flying knives.
"Bang bang bang!"
All were blocked and smashed into the surrounding water.
"Huh?" The person using the folding fan exclaimed in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.
And just as Xie Huan split the flying knife, another cold light flashed on the jade.
Xie Huan felt a chill and hurriedly turned around, slashing with his sword energy.
But it was still half a beat too slow, and the sword energy failed. The cold light pierced the left lower rib, a burst of pain came, and blood spurted out, dyeing the sea water red.
"This kid is a little weird."
There was a flash of light on the jade, and a figure appeared, wearing a blue robe and red phoenix eyes. He was holding a mirror in his hand and said, "You actually dodged my two moves with the dust-cleansing mirror."
The man holding the folding fan also walked out of his hand. He was wearing a plain robe and narrowed his eyes: "There is something strange about this kid. Just now, a green light evaporated the sea water. It seems to be some kind of treasure."
Xie Huan's figure flew back, rose and fell, stepped on a jade pillar, swallowed a pill, and simply treated the wound.
Then he looked at the two of them visually, and then used his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine every corner of the altar.
He was not angry at being attacked.
Instead, I think it is natural. When it comes to killing people, of course you have to use the simplest way.
After confirming that there was no one else in the altar, he withdrew his consciousness and looked at the two people in front of him again. They were both in the late stage of Qi refining, and his eyes glanced at their necks intentionally or unintentionally.
"This guy is very calm."
The man in green robes frowned and said, "It's hard to imagine that someone who is really only in the middle stage of Qi refining can actually escape a sneak attack from you and me."
For some reason, he subconsciously touched his neck.
The Confucian scholar holding the folding fan said coldly: "Not only that, but also during the excitement of getting a windfall, when people's alertness is at its weakest, he actually maintained such a high level of vigilance even though he didn't have the advantage to make him faint.
"And now facing you and me, he looks calm in the face of danger. I don't know if he is really calm or just pretending, but no matter what, he is dead."
While the two were talking, they moved their feet and surrounded Xie Huan one after another.
The man in green shirt blocked the entrance and pointed the mirror at Xie Huan with both hands to prevent him from escaping.
"Can I ask a few questions?"
Xie Huan paid no attention to the actions of the two of them.
"Why, are you afraid of death and unwilling to accept it?"
The Confucian scholar smiled contemptuously and shook his paper fan: "Ask and listen, maybe we will be merciful."
"First, who are you? Second, how do you know the mission of our trip?" Xie Huan asked slowly.
"Oh, it's already this time and you still can't guess who we are? It just means you are stupid enough. There is no need for such a person to die in peace."
The Confucian scholar had a strange smile on his face, as if he wanted to appreciate the other party's unwillingness to die: "There are only two things I didn't expect. First, this is actually the place where Lin Zhensheng was buried. In order not to alert others, we didn't take anything.
.
"Secondly, I never expected that the person who came was only in the middle stage of Qi refining, but he was able to escape our joint sneak attack. Tsk tsk, normally, you are a master who can leapfrog challenges. No wonder you were included in Luo Furong's team."
Xie Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, not expecting the other party to be so tight-spoken, so he asked another question: "Who is Lin Zhensheng?" He looked at the skeleton.
"You don't know Lin Zhensheng? Well, that's right. You are just a casual cultivator who joined the escort team, not a disciple of Tianlei Sect. In this case, there is no need to know."
The Confucian scholar was surprised for a moment, and then showed a greedy look: "The two high-grade magic weapons you just collected, one is a reflection mirror and the other is a thunder hammer, are both famous items of the Tianlei Sect. I have to give them away before I can warm them up."
It’s coming out, you don’t feel good, hehe.”
Xie Huan asked a few questions, and the Confucian scholar talked nonsense. It seemed that he said a lot, but in fact he said nothing. This was obviously intentional.
It seems that this person's IQ is online and not easy to fool.
So I didn't bother to ask anymore and said directly: "How many people are here in total? I guess you will say, 'You have no time to take care of yourself now, why do you care about this?' Am I right?"
The Confucian scholar was obviously stunned, and Xie Huan continued to calculate: "You have two people coming to the northern altar, so there should be two people in the other three directions. Luo Furong, the central altar, should have two or three people, so you should at least be here this time.
Come ten people, if not more than twelve."
