Chapter 40: Guardian of the Ruins
As she stepped into the last passage, Luo Li looked up at the third passage chosen by Ji Wuming.
He thought to himself that Ji Wuming was worthy of being called the darling of heaven. Although the passage he chose could not be compared with this one, it could also be said to be very safe.
The next moment everyone stepped into the passage, the cave entrance behind them was instantly closed by a stone door that suddenly appeared.
Mu Heng gritted his teeth. This time he really had no choice but to move forward! There was no way to retreat.
The passage was pitch black, but fortunately the air was still circulating, and there must be an exit ahead.
Luo Li summoned Chi Yan, who lay on Luo Li's shoulder. Since he became a divine beast, Chi Yan's ability to control fire has become even stronger.
He moved his tail slightly, and a ball of fire floated in front of the team, instantly illuminating the passage.
Luo Feichen was startled and looked at Chi Yan who suddenly appeared with an inquiring look.
This monster is no ordinary one.
Mu Heng and his companions took a casual glance and then focused their attention on the passage in front of them.
Ever since they gave Luo Li the image of a genius from a noble family, they wouldn't be surprised by anything she came up with.
In the dim passage, the murals on the stone walls on both sides attracted Luo Li's attention.
The mural is a little blurry, but it seems to describe a huge war.
The leaders of the two teams are a woman and a man respectively.
Others noticed it as well and came closer to observe.
Luo Li walked forward in the order of the murals, but the murals were very short and only told the end of the war.
The team led by the female leader was defeated, and the male leader sealed them...
"Mo Li!"
Zhan Yun exclaimed, "Look!"
Luo Li walked to Zhan Yun's side, not knowing why, and shifted her gaze to the stone wall.
On the mural, a noble and powerful female leader is holding up a piece of jade that emits colorful light.
Luo Li was very familiar with this jade.
Chaos Jade!
To be precise, it is the complete Chaos Jade!
Zhan Yun lowered his voice and whispered in Luo Li's ear, "What I saw should be a part of this jade."
Mu Heng looked around but couldn't see anything, so he said in a deep voice,
"There's nothing to see from these murals. Let's move on."
"Okay." Luo Li nodded.
Everyone began to slowly grope towards the exit of the passage. Unexpectedly, the passage was very short. After only half an hour, they saw an exit in front of them with some light.
Mu Heng and Luo Feichen walked in front of Luo Li and summoned their weapons to prevent any danger ahead.
Walking out of the cave, the dazzling white light makes people squint uncomfortably.
Luo Li closed her eyes lightly, and when she opened them again, a somewhat empty hall appeared before everyone.
The light emitted by the huge night pearl made the entire hall as bright as day.
There are some exquisite wooden shelves on both sides of the hall, on which are placed some spiritual weapons and elixirs.
"Why is it so quiet?"
Luo Feichen frowned. According to his experience, there must be guardians in such a hall.
The Luo family elders behind Luo Feichen had their eyes lit up when they saw the treasure. Seeing that no guardian of the ruins attacked them, they couldn't wait to walk to the wooden shelf.
Luo Li raised her eyebrows, walked up the steps slowly, and looked at the treasures.
In this entire hall, the highest grade item is a top-grade holy spirit weapon-level ring in the center of the hall.
Although the lineage of weapon refiners is now fading in Tianyuan Continent, holy spirit weapons are still very common.
The highest grade of elixir is only the ninth grade.
The elder of the Luo family picked up a bottle of pills, and when he saw the grade of the pills, his face suddenly became cloudy.
"It's not too shabby!"
Although their Luo family is not as wealthy as they were decades ago, they still don't care about elixirs of this level!
Another elder also responded, "Really, how could there be such garbage in the ancient ruins!"
Luo Feichen frowned, "Be careful with your words!"
Luo Li scoffed, "We should only be outside the ruins now. Why, are we going to place a divine weapon for you?"
"I'm afraid you'll live to see it, but not to take it!"
The guardian of the precious spiritual weapon in the ruins is comparable to a strong man at the level of a nine-star spiritual master!
Isn’t the Luo family one of the four great spiritual martial arts families?
How could the elders in the family be so ignorant? Could it be that they became corrupt after grandpa left home?
"Ignorant child!" The elder of the Luo family snorted coldly, raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, but unexpectedly, he overturned the wooden frame in front of him to the ground!
Pills and spiritual weapons were scattered all over the ground.
The hall suddenly began to shake, and Luo Li's face changed, "It's bad!"
Luo Li gritted her teeth. She finally understood what it meant to not be afraid of god-like opponents, but to be afraid of pig-like teammates!
Luo Feichen's face was as dark as ink. "You useless thing! You'd better pray that you die here! Otherwise, you will be punished by the Luo family rules!"
The elders of the Luo family froze in place, not daring to move. Who knows what kind of monsters will appear in the ancient ruins!
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Luo Feichen roared, "Come here!"
The surrounding space was suddenly torn apart, and dozens of black stone men appeared, wearing armor, holding swords, with murderous looks on their faces.
Everyone formed a circle in the center of the hall. Luo Feichen summoned his spiritual weapon and stared at the stone men with fear.
The stone guardians will not let their pressure leak out. Even if one of these stone men has the combat power of the Spirit Master level, they will still lose a few people here!
Mu Heng's eyes were sharp as he turned and whispered, "Mo Li, we haven't found a way out yet!"
After he finished speaking, he glared at the two cowering elders of the Luo family, "He's not capable of accomplishing anything, but is more likely to cause trouble!"
The guardians of the ancient ruins are not mindless puppets, not to mention that they are the products of the ancient Lingwu clan of the Great Wilderness.
They originally wanted to give the current owner of the Tower of Gods a favor and allow her to enter smoothly and get the Chaos Jade left by the Saint.
Unexpectedly, some ignorant people dared to insult the sacred name of his ancient Great Wilderness Lingwu clan!
What rubbish! That was a precious elixir made by the children of their clan!
A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from the mouth of the stone man in the lead, "Kill!"
"Oh my god!" Lu Yue was startled when he heard the voice, "How can this thing talk?"
"Don't worry about whether they can speak or not!" Luo Li gritted her teeth, they all rushed over!
These stone men were not slow in their movements. They held long swords in their hands, and most of them only focused on attacking two people.
The two Luo family elders collapsed and shouted, "No, what are you doing!"
Luo Li held the short blade and watched the two stone men pass by her and attack Mu Heng as if they didn't see her.
Luo Li: "Uh..."
She's too conspicuous staying here like this.
Luo Li nimbly dodged a stone figure who had no intention of attacking her and shouted, "Captain Mu! How long can you hold out? I'll go find a way out!"
"Okay!" Lu Yue said loudly, "These stone men are only at the Spirit King level, you don't have to worry about us!"
Only after they fought with the stone men did they discover that these stone men were only as strong as Nine-Star Spirit Kings at best, and were nothing to be feared!
Although Luo Li had a map of the ruins, the map was incomplete. It only provided her with a safe path, and the exit of the hall was not marked.
She groped her way to the seat in front of the hall, and heard Lu Yue's roar behind her.
"Damn! What are these stone men made of? Why are they so hard!"
Lu Yue looked at his sword with heartache. His precious sword was about to become blunt!
