Chapter 276: Something Wicked

Xiaoliu said obediently, "Ari, there's no hidden soul in here!"

Momo said sweetly, "There aren't any hidden spatial fluctuations in the cave!"

Lord Bai Sheng also nodded and said, "Young Master Luo, I just sensed the surrounding area. Apart from a slight fluctuation of spiritual power around the sculpture, there is indeed no spiritual power fluctuation anywhere else."

Luo Li half-knelt down and looked at the stone on the base with a gloomy look.

It seems that the only problem is the stone that can be pressed on the base of the sculpture.

Lord Bai Sheng released the spirit shield above everyone's heads, "Young Master Luo."

Luo Li nodded and placed her hand on it. Her hand was pricked by the sharp stone, but the pain was insignificant and she didn't care.

She glanced back at Makize and Xiaoliu in the outer circle and said, "Get ready."

Bei Mingyu and the others nodded solemnly, "Okay!"

After saying that, they turned around with clear division of labor, each looking in one direction so that they could react quickly the moment the mechanism was triggered.

Barrett stayed by Luo Li's side to prevent any abnormal changes to the sculpture.

Luo Li's eyes were sharp, and she exerted force with her wrist to press the stone down.

Under her unnoticed fingertips, a stream of bright red blood seeped into the crevice of the stone, and a white light flashed.

This breath followed the space below the sculpture and entered a stone chamber in the center of the ruins.

On the jade bed that looked quite cold, the shadow of a man who was too beautiful to be a mortal sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

He suddenly sensed a breath and slowly opened his eyes, with white light flickering in his golden pupils.

A smile appeared on the corner of the man's lips, and the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual power of the jade bed increased.

A streak of white light flowed out from his fingertips and instantly spread to various caves in the ruins.

After doing all this, he looked at the void in front of him and closed his eyes again.

If Luo Li and the others were here, they would almost immediately recognize that this man looked exactly like the sculpture.

In the cave on the other side.

The moment Luo Li pressed the stone, the people behind her held their breath and observed their surroundings vigilantly, fearing that a group of ruins guardians would jump out immediately.

But one second, two seconds, three seconds...

Time passed quietly, but apart from the breathing of Luo Li and the others, nothing happened in the cave as they imagined would happen after pressing the stone.

Instead, a familiar white round bead floated out of the scepter on the sculpture.

"Well……"

Mu Ze looked at the white round bead that floated up and asked cautiously, "What... is going on?"

Even Lord Bai Sheng was a little confused. They were already prepared for a fierce battle, but the sculpture just spit out the beads by itself?

He tentatively removed the spiritual shield, but still no guardian of the ruins appeared.

Seeing the white round bead about to fly into the small hole at the top, Lord Bai Shengwang immediately flew up and took the white round bead down.

Yun Poyue looked at the opened stone door, full of questions. He felt that this was really weird. "Could the ancient ruins really be so easy?"

To get the white round bead in the outer area, you have to kill all the ruins guardians. When you reach the middle area, the sculpture will spit it out by itself?

This is too fake!

Bei Mingyu frowned, also puzzled, "Too weird."

Isn’t it strange!

I had narrowly escaped death in the ancient ruins, but here I just pressed a button, not only did I not have to fight, but the things I needed even flew out by themselves!

No one would think it is normal, instead, everyone would think it is weird!

Luo Li stood up, used her spiritual power to smooth out the scratches on her fingertips, and said, "Anyway, this is a good thing for us right now, but we have to be more careful on the road ahead."

Who knows if there will be a backup plan waiting for them?

Yun Poyue looked at Lord Bai Sheng who had landed on the ground holding the round bead, then looked at the still calm cave, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded in agreement. "Yes, at least it is beneficial to us at the moment."

Momo and Lan, who were standing by, saw it first. Momo held Luo Li's fingertips with a distressed look on her face and blew on them, "Ali, does it hurt?"

Luo Li laughed and touched Momo's head, "Momo, it's just a small scratch, it doesn't hurt as much as pulling out a hair."

Momo said 'Oh', "I'm glad it doesn't hurt, Ari!"

An Shuxue came over and asked worriedly, "Ali, are you hurt?"

Luo Li stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "It's just a scratch from a stone, it's not a big deal."

Lan had an expression of 'Just as I expected' on her face. She is so smart!

Luo Li was just as she guessed, so the ruins received her breath through Luo Li's blood, thus opening the door to the entire ancient ruins to her!

She is simply the smartest mermaid in the mermaid tribe!

Lord White Saint walked over holding the white round bead, frowned slightly and said, "Although it is a little strange, it is indeed normal."

Hua Nongying went forward and said, "Wang Zun, is this a welcome gift from the ruins? Could it be that something even more dangerous is waiting for us out there?!"

Mu Ze and the others' faces suddenly fell, and they stared at Hua Nongying with dead fish eyes.

Hua Nongying's scalp was about to explode when she met the staring eyes of the group of people. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, I was just saying it casually. How could it be such a coincidence?"

Well, after she said this, the group of people opposite glared at her even more fiercely.

Lan coughed lightly and spoke lively, "Um, Ari, aren't you looking for that friend?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Then do you have anything on you that has her scent on it?"

Luo Li and the others looked at Lan strangely, puzzled by her sudden change of address.

Lan was thinking that building a good relationship with Luo Li would only bring benefits and no disadvantages, okay!

No, Lan thought carefully, it seems that for a long time, or even for an unknown outcome, there seems to be no benefit...

The villain in Lan's heart suddenly waved his hands. Why think so much? Anyway, she quite liked Luo Li.

And no matter what, she is a descendant of the mermaid tribe, so she naturally has to follow Luo Li!

Luo Li didn't think much about it. She pondered for a moment and took out the voice stone. "Can I use the voice stone that she has contacted?"

Lan scratched his head. "Why don't you try to contact her now? It's been several days, and her presence up there has long faded."

Hearing this, Luo Li nodded immediately, "Okay."

She floated the sound transmission stone in front of her, injected spiritual power into it, and used her mental power to connect with the mental power left by Lan Xiaoxiao in the sound transmission stone.

The next moment, the sound transmission stone lit up, and Lan Xiaoxiao's voice came out, "Ah..."

This time, Lan Xiaoxiao didn't even finish her words before the sound transmission stone went out again.

Luo Li frowned and clenched the sound stone. It seemed that the magnetic field surrounding the ancient ruins was even more chaotic.

In the dark passage on the other side, Lan Xiaoxiao simply wanted to smash the sound transmission stone.
