Chapter 172
"Ha, the temple! Brother Li, you're truly amazing. I admire you so much..."
Not long after the two entered the alley, two ghost cultivators came running over in a hurry.
"Ha, a temple! Brother Li, you are really amazing. I admire you!" A ghost cultivator said excitedly when he saw the temple.
The other man nodded complacently: "Yes, this temple must be in the center of the ancient city. There must be something valuable hidden inside."
"Brother Li, this is a rare opportunity. Let's go in quickly." The ghost cultivator also knew that time was running out, so he quickly pulled the ghost cultivator beside him and ran in hurriedly.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang hid in a small alley. They saw two figures rushing in quickly, and then heard two screams.
Cheng Hui: …???
What the hell?
The two looked at each other, with some doubts in their eyes.
Is this temple... any danger?
They walked around several times and didn't even encounter any mechanism?
Lin Qingyang shook his head at him, and Cheng Hui could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and decided to let the matter go for the time being.
Before the two of them had gone far, they saw many people running towards the temple in the distance. Obviously, it was not only Brother Li who was familiar with the layout of the ancient city, there were others as well. It was just that they were a step slower and happened to meet each other. As they were arguing with each other, they actually delayed a little time, which allowed Brother Li to arrive first.
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
Cheng Huimeng turned around and saw that the temple door, which had been wide open before, was slowly closing. With a muffled sound, smoke and dust scattered, and the door was tightly closed.
No one would know that just a few seconds ago, two ghost cultivators disappeared inside.
Cheng Hui shuddered.
He originally thought that he and Lin Qingyang were lucky, so the temple was completely defenseless, but now it seems that someone was deliberately "luring him into a trap".
Although he didn't know why the other party let them leave, he couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought that he and Lin Qingyang might die quietly in there like the two before.
"Let's go..." Lin Qingyang sighed and tugged at Cheng Hui's sleeve.
Cheng Hui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and followed him away quickly.
As they left, the jade pillar in the square suddenly flickered and then became silent.
The bright light on it seemed to disappear with the departure of Cheng Hui and the others, and it looked like just an ordinary pillar.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang left very quickly. They both sped up at the same time, as if they could get rid of the ghosts in the temple by running faster.
"Wait!" Cheng Hui shuddered, took out the secret compartment in his storage ring, and asked anxiously, "Shouldn't this thing be thrown away? Pfft, pfft, no, isn't it best to find a place to bury it? Isn't it said that burial is the best way to rest in peace? It doesn't seem appropriate to run away with someone's corpse."
Before Lin Qingyang could speak, the two of them felt that the space had become very oppressive.
The surrounding walls and rooms seemed to be distorted in some way. Nothing seemed to have changed when viewed from the outside, but once you looked away, it was as if something transparent was constantly pressing down, making it difficult to even breathe.
Cheng Hui/Lin Qingyang: ...
Lin Qingyang pondered for a moment: "If the mural is correct, perhaps... this person doesn't want to stay here?"
Cheng Hui stammered, "Okay, okay, then let's find a way to get out and bury the person."
Before he finished speaking, the strange feeling of oppression in the air suddenly disappeared.
Cheng Hui/Lin Qingyang: ...
This corpse is definitely that god's stone hammer!
The two exchanged a look, both feeling helpless. Cheng Hui smacked his lips, feeling somewhat worried. He dared not say anything, dared not ask anything. This entire city seemed to be under someone's control. He had just said something and nearly lost his life. This... this... oh...
Why was I inexplicably targeted by this great god?
"Leave first." Lin Qingyang didn't dare to speak casually, for fear that he would accidentally anger the great god and cause something unexpected.
The two of them weren't sure what the god was going to do, but since the god wasn't angry after they told him, then... they should be able to leave, right?
You definitely can't go the way you came in, otherwise everyone will go in and you will go out, and someone might think they have a great harvest and want to rob you.
We couldn't go to the earth dragon either. It was in the middle of a melee, with all kinds of spells flying around. Just now, a ghost cultivator seemed to want to take advantage of the situation, but was killed by a sword light that came from nowhere.
Helplessly, Cheng Hui could only travel to the other side of the city with Lin Qingyang, but unexpectedly, trouble found them even though they didn't want to cause trouble.
The earth dragon was at a disadvantage in the battle with the Jindan stage ghost cultivator and began to flee. As luck would have it, it ran towards Cheng Hui and the others.
Cheng Hui was speechless as he watched the huge body of the earth dragon rumble over, grabbing Lin Qingyang and running away.
Unfortunately, the earth dragon was huge and its movements seemed clumsy, but compared to its huge body, its speed was not slow at all.
The earth dragon was busy escaping and had no idea of the direction, so naturally it didn't pay attention to whether there was anyone below.
No... to be precise, as an unlucky monster who was besieged by several two-legged beasts and almost lost his life, if he could spare some energy, he would have trampled Cheng Hui and the others to death long ago.
Cheng Hui ran while cursing. He didn't know what the damn earth dragon was thinking. It kept following them. They had changed direction several times, but the earth dragon also changed direction.
With their current strength, it’s not certain they will die if they face the Earth Dragon, but if they stop, they will most likely be discovered by the ghost cultivators behind them.
However, the earth dragon was too close, and if Cheng Hui continued to run like this, he would definitely be caught up. Helplessly, he could only signal Lin Qingyang to run first, and then he turned around and tried to stop it, at least to lure the earth dragon away.
Lin Qingyang silently rejected Cheng Hui's kindness. Other things could be discussed, but asking Cheng Hui to take risks for him was absolutely impossible.
Cheng Hui was not surprised by Lin Qingyang's refusal. He had long discovered that Lin Qingyang seemed to have some obsession with his own safety. Over the years, unless there was some force majeure, the two had almost never been separated.
"Forget it, if you don't want to leave, let's do it together."
Cheng Hui stopped and took out a long sword from the storage ring. With a flick of his wrist, the blade, with a stern aura, chopped towards the earth dragon.
"I asked you to follow me! I asked you to cause me trouble!" Cheng Hui cursed while pressing forward with his sword, continuously slashing at the earth dragon.
The earth dragon suddenly let out a scream. Although it had thick skin and flesh, it was still a flesh and blood body. Cheng Hui's weapon could not break its defense in one go, but after several consecutive cuts at the same place, it broke the defense as expected. Moreover, this cut made a three-meter-long cut, and blood gushed out.
At the same time, Lin Qingyang also made a hand gesture, and the long sword in his hand shot out and stabbed fiercely into the mouth of the earth dragon.
Earth dragons don't have eyes, but the inside of their mouths is apparently very vulnerable.
While the earth dragon screamed and opened its mouth, Lin Qingyang seized the opportunity and struck it with his sword. He was not a sword cultivator, but this strike was enough to kill the earth dragon.
"Who is it?" The earth dragon reacted to the sudden attack.
All the people who were chasing the earth dragon were almost hit by the dragon's tail.
He cursed angrily, turned around and hit Dilong again.
"Huh? You two look a little familiar." A handsome bald man appeared and laughed when he saw Cheng Hui and the others.
Cheng Hui: ...Who is this person?
"Hey, aren't these the two little guys who sold the address of the underground palace? Didn't you see? Are you here to join in the fun?" The bald man asked with a smile. Seeing the two people's confused expressions, he slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot, you two haven't seen me. I am the mayor of Luowu City, the one who provided you with the Yuanguang Secret Realm."
After saying that, she looked Cheng Hui up and down, and said with a little surprise: "It seems that you have a good harvest."
Cheng Hui laughed dryly. It was not right to admit it, nor was it right to deny it. In short... he just smiled foolishly.
With a dull thud, the earth dragon crashed to the ground. Although it quickly got up again, it was obviously lacking in strength. The wounds on its body were getting more and more, and large amounts of blood were splattered, almost drowning it.
"Don't reminisce about the past now!" an old man yelled angrily, "City Lord, if you don't take action now, don't even think about sharing the benefits with us later."
"Here they come. Tsk tsk, a bunch of stingy people!" The bald city lord lazily dug his ears, jumped up, jumped onto the head of the earth dragon, pointed the gun in his hand downward, and stabbed it fiercely.
The earth dragon roared loudly, raised its head high, and opened its mouth wide, ready to spit out something.
"Be careful to hide!" One of the ghost cultivators reminded, and then the people around quickly dispersed.
Cheng Hui took this opportunity to quickly dodge and pulled Lin Qingyang away quickly.
The earth dragon spewed out a green liquid, and because no one was prepared, no one was affected. The green liquid fell on the remaining stone wall, and the stone wall immediately made a sizzling sound, and the stones were quickly melted.
Cheng Hui gasped when he saw this.
Oh my god...if you're not careful, you'll be dead. This thing is even more powerful than bone-dissolving water.
The two men fled in a panic, but the earth dragon had gone mad. It seemed to realize that it could not escape, so it kept spitting out the green liquid.
Several Jindan ghost cultivators were well aware of the power of that thing, so they could only dodge everywhere for a while. This made it difficult for Cheng Hui, as even the area they could dodge was constantly compressed. In the end, they were simply trapped here.
Cheng Hui did not doubt whether someone deliberately kept them here, but the same thing applies: if he is under someone's roof and is being watched by so many Jindan ghost cultivators, where can he go even if he runs away?
Don't forget, he hasn't found any clues to get out yet. Besides, there was nothing wrong originally, so wouldn't running away arouse suspicion?
So, Cheng Hui simply didn't leave, and relied on his agile body to keep dodging in the green liquid.
It was not until the earth dragon fell to the ground again and took its last breath that Cheng Hui finally relaxed completely.
Although he did not participate in this battle, he gained a lot of experience by watching those big guys cast spells.
These old ghosts have been wasting time in the Jindan stage for who knows how long. Many of them are only one step away from the Yuanying stage. In order to break through this step, they continue to study and study the spells of the Jindan stage thoroughly. Many of the spells they use make Cheng Hui's eyes light up.
It turns out that this spell can be used like this!!!
