"Have you noticed that the movable walls in each space are adjacent, which means..."
Jiang Deng stroked his chin and pondered, "This underground palace is a large square space, divided into four smaller spaces by four walls. We pushed the door four times to complete a cycle. Even if we continue pushing aimlessly, we won't be able to find the real exit."
Baili Chengfeng looked at Jiang Deng with admiration.
He can actually think of so much! It's obvious that Jiang Deng has a lot of survival experience...
Jiang Deng was greatly impressed by Baili Chengfeng's admiring look. He coughed lightly and said, "So conventional methods are useless. We must use unconventional methods, but we need your help."
"Okay." Baili Chengfeng agreed without saying a word.
Jiang Deng put Baili Chengfeng down from his back and said, "Turn around and face away from me."
Baili Chengfeng's eyes widened slightly, "...What are you going to do to me?"
“…”
The corner of Jiang Deng's mouth twitched. Could it be that Chengfeng mistakenly thought that she wanted to take this opportunity to do something to him?
It's already this late, how could she do something so beastly!
Seeing the growing fear on Baili Chengfeng's face, Jiang Deng had no choice but to explain, "What are you thinking? I want to draw a talisman and use your back as a table!"
"oh……"
Baili Chengfeng responded, his tone was hard to tell whether it was disappointment or relief.
Turn around and face away from Jiang Deng.
Jiang Deng took out four pieces of talisman paper from the storage bag, spread them flat on Baili Chengfeng's back, used his fingertips as a pen and his spiritual power as ink, and wrote runes one after another smoothly.
A flash of blue light, and the Xuan-level low-grade blasting talisman was completed!
Because he drew four explosive talismans at the same time, the chaotic power in Jiang Deng's body was rapidly consumed, which brought a great burden to his body. Jiang Deng's face turned pale.
After drawing the talisman, she immediately took out a Hundred Herb Pill and swallowed it. The chaotic power in her dantian began to recover rapidly, and her face looked better.
"Okay, let's go!"
After the preparations were completed, Jiang Deng carried Baili Chengfeng on his back and helped him push the wall open again.
But unlike last time when she just pushed the wall, this time she stuffed a blasting talisman into the gaps between the four movable walls. Then, she could... hehe!
After placing the last blasting talisman in the fourth door, Jiang Deng carried Baili Chengfeng on his back and came to the center of the space.
"Can you still use your protective spiritual energy?"
Jiang Deng asked without much expectation. If Baili Chengfeng's protective spiritual energy could not be used, she would have to spend some more time drawing a protective amulet.
Baili Chengfeng nodded without hesitation, "Sure."
"Okay then, use your spiritual energy to protect us both. I'm about to begin."
Baili Chengfeng nodded, enduring the severe pain in his dantian when using spiritual power. He squeezed out a bit of spiritual power to support the circulation of the protective spiritual energy.
A silver-gray protective shield appeared, completely covering the two of them.
The blood in his chest surged, and Baili Chengfeng gritted his teeth and endured it. He couldn't let Jiang Deng fall behind...
"Explosion Talisman, explode!"
The next moment, four rumbling sounds sounded at the same time.
Flames shot up into the sky and the walls on all sides collapsed.
The scorching air waves swept towards them. Fortunately, the protective shield of protective spiritual energy protected them, otherwise they would have been destroyed along with the surrounding walls.
“Cough cough cough!”
Baili Chengfeng's protective shield dissipated, and the forceful use of spiritual power caused his body to be injured again, but in order to prevent Jiang Deng from discovering, he could only swallow the blood rushing up his throat and let out a dull cough that was difficult to suppress.
Jiang Deng thought it was the dust around him that choked Baili Chengfeng, so he said, "It will be fine after the dust clears."
"……Um."
When the dust cleared, the surroundings came into view.
The walls that originally blocked their way had disappeared, replaced by a larger open space.
But... I still can't find the so-called entrance.
Jiang Deng frowned. "Isn't this just a square, enclosed space? It doesn't look like a palace at all. How dare they call it an underground palace?"
She even said the mission was to find the exit of the underground palace. Was she sure she wasn't just playing a trick on her?!
Jiang Deng felt like a fool who had been cheated. He couldn't swallow this and stomped his feet in anger.
clatter!
When he stomped his feet, there was a splashing sound of water.
Jiang Deng subconsciously looked down at the ground and saw that the soil under her feet had become even wetter, and the soil even began to seep upwards, about to flood over her shoes.
"Where does the water come from?" A trace of confusion flashed in Jiang Deng's eyes.
“Hehehe…”
At the same time, a sinister laugh was heard, and this strange laugh echoed in the closed underground palace.
The next moment, an extremely huge gray snake arched out of the soil and rushed straight into the sky, circling and twisting its body in mid-air, and every scale on its body was filled with joy.
"Eight hundred years! Eight hundred years! I have finally escaped!"
Jiang Deng looked at the snake in the air and felt that it looked familiar. "Snake demon, have we seen it somewhere before?"
Hearing this, the snake demon stopped playing around and looked down at Jiang Deng on the ground. "Little girl, your way of chatting me up is too old-fashioned. I practice the ruthless way and will definitely not be seduced by you."
Jiang Deng: “…”
It's amazing that a snake can be so narcissistic.
But...it says to practice the ruthless way?
Jiang Deng suddenly remembered, isn't this the snake demon that instigated Wei Yan to kill his wife to prove his truth? How could it appear in the underground palace?
"Aren't you Wei Yan's master? How come he also imprisoned you here?"
"Don't mention that evil disciple to me!"
The snake demon angrily lashed the dirt with its tail, splashing water. "I was so kind to him, saving him from his boring mortal life, giving him skills and spiritual weapons, but what's the result?"
"After he achieved success in his cultivation, he secretly harmed me, breaking my skin and pulling out my tendons, and turning it into a spiritual weapon! I don't have a disciple like him!"
"You brought this upon yourself, didn't you?" Jiang Deng was amused. "You were the one who taught him to kill his wife to prove his faith. It's only natural that he would kill his master afterwards. It shows that your teachings were effective. Your current tragedy is the product of your own actions."
The snake demon was the cause of Yao Lanxin's tragedy, but he didn't think he was at fault at all. Now that he had become a victim, he began to resent Wei Yan.
Then how should Yao Lanxin deal with it?
The snake demon's eyes turned red with anger after being hit by Jiang Deng. "Ah! I'll eat you, you damn human!"
After saying that, he came straight towards Jiang Deng!
Without even turning around, Jiang Deng asked Baili Chengfeng on his back, "Are you okay staying by yourself?"
This snake demon is very powerful, and she may not be able to defeat it. If she carries Baili Chengfeng on her back, the situation will be even more dangerous.
Baili Chengfeng nodded, "I'm fine, you go."
"Okay!"
After putting Baili Chengfeng down, Jiang Deng took out the Chongguang Sword and flew up to meet the snake demon.
"Snake demon, look at the sword!"
