"Bang! Bang..."

The stone wall in front suddenly made a sound and slowly cracked, revealing a vertical crack inside. The crack continued to expand until it was big enough for two people to enter and exit, and then it stopped.

For safety reasons, Qin Xiyao did not bring Zhu Yunrou and Jiao Man with her to go through the gap and explore the world inside.

Instead, he first used his Nine Lights Purple Eyes to look through the gap and observe the situation inside.

Through the gap, Qin Xiyao saw an ancient temple covered in dust, standing quietly not far away, like an old elder.

"Master! Did you encounter a trap just now?"

Jiao Man took a look at the gap inside and asked belatedly.

"Yes! Do you two dare to come with me in to search for the artifact?"

Apart from the unknown ferocious beast, Qin Xiyao scanned the ancient temple with her Nine-Light Purple Eyes and did not find any problems or dangers for the time being.

She asked them in a negotiating tone that if they didn't dare to go, she wouldn't force them and could just take a detour!

"Wherever the master goes, I go!"

Zhu Yunrou expressed that she was quite optimistic about Qin Xiyao's strength.

In the entire Xuankong Continent, apart from the Venerable in the Venerable Hall who has broken through the Mahayana realm, is there anyone whose cultivation can surpass that of the Venerable?

Therefore, I'm afraid that except for her master, there is no one else who can match the Venerable in cultivation?

In Zhu Yunrou's eyes, Qin Xiyao's strength is ten thousand times stronger than that of the Venerable!

What does she have to be afraid of when she is with Qin Xiyao?

"Maner! What about you?"

Jiao Man's lines were snatched away by Zhu Yunrou. She also wanted to follow Qin Xiyao and explore the temple, but she didn't know how to express it to Qin Xiyao.

Meeting Qin Xiyao's inquiring gaze, she shyly replied:

"As long as the master is there, Yao'er will not be afraid!"

Although Jiao Man did not answer the question, Qin Xiyao had already seen what she was thinking from her eyes and facial expression.

"Since both of you want to go in and explore, then continue to maintain your original formation and follow me!"

After Qin Xiyao finished speaking, she went straight into the gap. Seeing this, Zhu Yunrou and Jiao Man followed Qin Xiyao in without hesitation.

"Let's not go anywhere else for now, let's go inside the ancient temple and take a look around."

Qin Xiyao saw that the two of them had caught up, so she finished speaking and walked straight inside.

The deity enshrined in this ancient temple is the City God.

Qin Xiyao saw that the statue was covered with dust and her original appearance could not be seen clearly. She couldn't bear it, so she practiced the "Nine Star Mysterious Space Technique" technique, using the power of the stars and the spiritual power of the water element to start cleaning the dust off the statue.

When she was cleaning the throne of the statue, she accidentally touched the switch on the base of the statue.

Then, the entire temple began to shake.

“Roar…”

"Master! What's that sound?"

After all, Jiao Man had been living in the water before Qin Xiyao took her away from Zhuoyong Lake, so when she heard this strange sound, she couldn't help but ask questions.

"Man'er! Don't be afraid! This is the sound of a rhinoceros elephant beast. I saw it before when I came to the imperial capital. I even killed it to save my instructor's life!"

Hearing the sound of the rhinoceros elephant, Qin Xiyao couldn't help but recall the scene of her first meeting with Ye Xin.

At that time, she didn't know that Ye Xin was the master of the Imperial Capital Academy. When he rescued her from the mouth of the rhinoceros elephant beast, he simply wanted to save her life and had no other ulterior motives.

At that time, she was still wondering how such a dangerous spiritual pet as a rhinoceros elephant could exist in the center of such a huge imperial city.

At this moment, the sounds of rhinoceros and elephants were heard in the temple, and all the answers seemed to be self-evident.

"Bang..." The sound of the cracks in the stone healing came from behind.

"Are you going to beat the dog behind closed doors?"

Qin Xiyao was suspicious in her heart.

"Master! The cracks in the stone have healed!"

Zhu Yunrou began to get scared. The temple was gloomy and the sounds of the rhinoceros and elephants became clearer and clearer, and it seemed that there was a whole group of them!

They are approaching the temple step by step.

Zhu Yunrou knew that she could not deal with the group of rhinoceroses and elephants outside the ancient temple, and she began to panic.

"Rou'er! Don't be afraid! Those rhinoceroses and elephants are nothing to be afraid of!"

Qin Xiyao comforted.

Just as Qin Xiyao was about to take Zhu Yunrou and Jiao Man away from the ancient temple, she suddenly heard a "Boom! Boom!" sound.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed from the base of the statue that she had accidentally touched just now. The secret compartment on the back of the statue suddenly opened, revealing a corner of the Pangu Banner.

Just as Qin Xiyao was about to reach into the secret compartment and try to take out the Pangu Banner, several poisonous needles flew out from it.

Fortunately, Qin Xiyao dodged quickly, otherwise, she would have been pierced by the poisonous needle and turned into a hedgehog!

Beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, and she was terrified.

She began to curse herself for being too impatient!

When he saw the Pangu Banner in the secret compartment, he didn't use his Nine-Light Purple Eyes to check whether there was any danger in the secret compartment, but just reached out to take the Pangu Banner. It was really unwise!

After the experience of being almost pricked by the poison needle and turned into a hedgehog, Qin Xiyao never dared to put her hand directly into the secret compartment again.

She began to use her Nine-Light Purple Eyes to explore the environment in the secret compartment and the Pangu Banner to see if there were any hidden weapons or poisons.

She carefully scanned every corner of the secret compartment, and only after making sure there were no hidden weapons or poisons did she reach into the compartment with confidence and take away the Pangu Banner!

"Rou'er! Man'er! Let's get out of here quickly!"

"Otherwise, if we're caught in this temple by the rhinoceros and elephants, we'll be in great danger!"

After Qin Xiyao finished speaking, she took Zhu Yunrou's arm and Jiao Man's arm at the same time and led them both out of the temple.

But it’s still a little late!

Qin Xiyao took the two of them out of the temple, but before they had gone far, they were surrounded by rhinoceros and elephants.

After Qin Xiyao looked around with her Nine-Light Purple Eyes, she couldn't help but sigh, "Wow! There are quite a few!"

More than thirty rhinoceros and elephant beasts in the Nascent Soul stage surrounded the three of them in the center.

"Master! What should we do?"

At this moment, Jiao Man couldn't help but think of that day hundreds of years ago when she was hiding near the Eternal Ruins Sea, watching helplessly:

While her mother Jiao Han was going through the tribulation, she was attacked by the mermaid clan and died together with the attackers, leaving behind a dragon ball in the sea.

"Don't be afraid! Let's put our backs together and form an iron triangle."

Qin Xiyao ordered.

The reason why she didn't immediately summon the Yuhuang Sword from her spiritual consciousness was that she wanted to see whether the attack on the three of them by the rhinoceros elephant beast today was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.
