Qi Yongsi and the others thought they were doomed, but they were unexpectedly saved.
Therefore, they were all somewhat incredulous when they woke up. It was only after Ling Mufeng knocked on their heads without regard for his image that they came to their senses and hurriedly thanked Lu Li.
Then, under Lu Li's protection, everyone sat down cross-legged and began to meditate, absorbing spiritual energy to heal their injuries.
Perhaps it was because of Lu Li's powerful presence, or perhaps it was because the Nine-Headed Bird had been killed, but for the rest of the night, no monsters appeared here.
After half a month of relentless pursuit, Ling Mufeng and his group finally enjoyed a peaceful night, free from the fear of being ambushed.
As dawn broke and the earth shone, the group emerged from their meditation and prepared to continue facing the enemy.
Unexpectedly, the shadowy figures, who were supposed to appear at dawn, waited until the sun was high in the sky and still showed no sign of showing up.
Staring at the completely still area, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Were they too afraid to provoke them? Or were they hiding away, preparing for something bigger?
For a moment, everyone was a little confused.
Finally, Lu Li glanced deeper into the ruins, gave Ling Mufeng another storage ring, and then had the little fire spirit part with a wisp of flame before speaking.
"Mu Feng, you and your friend should go out first."
He always felt that there was something else deep inside this ruined mansion, and he had to go and explore it.
Looking at his senior brother's expression, Ling Mufeng thought about how his senior brother could always break the rules and his unfathomable strength.
Without saying a word, he decisively accepted the storage bag and, escorted by the flames, led Qi Yongsi and the others quickly toward the exit that Lu Li had pointed out.
Only after watching them walk away did Lu Li turn around and walk deeper into the area. But he hadn't gone far when Shushu suddenly poked its little head out and frowned as it transmitted a message to him.
'Senior Brother, I think I can smell Ling Jun's scent here.'
After saying that, Shushu's little nose twitched several more times: "No, it smells like Lingjun, but it doesn't seem to smell like Lingjun either. It's so strange."
Seeing Shushu's head full of question marks, Lu Li, who had already guessed what was going on, reached out and gently patted Shushu's head, then gave her a suggestion.
"This place is indeed related to Lingjun. You have the scales Lingjun gave you; you can use them to guide the way."
Actually, these scales were originally given to Shushu by Lingjun to protect her from the lightning tribulation, because he was worried that she would be in danger when she faced it.
Later, with the power of the rules given by the Little Heavenly Dao, the dragon scales were no longer needed.
It was only after Lu Li reminded her that Shushu remembered she still had several dragon scales. Upon hearing Lu Li's words, she took out a scale from her abdominal space without much thought.
Just as they were about to see how to guide the way, the dragon scales appeared and, as if they had eyes, darted away in a flash, startling the glutton.
Fortunately, Lu Li was prepared and grabbed a corner of the dragon scale the moment it flew out.
And so, Lu Li, carrying the millet and potatoes, was carried forward by the dragon scales.
Behind them, a spirit and a sword followed, forming several streaks of light that rushed forward together.
So fast that the other cultivators trapped in the ruins, still fighting against various shadowy figures, only felt a gust of wind sweep over their heads before they disappeared without a trace.
After running around for half a day, the dragon scale finally stopped at a completely withered locust tree grove. It circled the largest locust tree in the grove, but could not find the entrance.
Lu Li had already released his grip on the dragon scale when it had already completed its second rotation.
Seeing that the dragon scales were obviously in a hurry, he hesitated for a second, but finally forced the dragon scales down, picked them off, and had his junior sister put them away before he began to examine the locust tree.
The locust tree was clearly dead long ago. Not only was it completely black, but it was also contaminated by something, emitting an eerie aura and a faint smell of blood.
Lu Li searched for a long time before finding a slightly different spot on the dark tree trunk. He observed it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was.
In the end, Lu Li quickly gave up and simply released the Little Fire Spirit.
Little Fire Spirit has always been a good boy. He does whatever his owner asks him to do without any hesitation. He goes up and starts burning everything.
It can only be said that the Phoenix Fire truly deserves to be one of the Ten Divine Flames. Even though its current master is not strong, the power of the little fire spirit is still not to be underestimated.
Before long, the strange place was burned open by the little fire spirit, revealing what was hidden underneath: an ancient maze and teleportation array.
Seeing that it was an array, and one that he knew and could solve, Lu Li immediately stopped the little fire spirit and threw several concealment arrays around the locust tree to prevent any unsuspecting people from accidentally wandering in.
Then he gripped the sword in his hand, a small fire spirit above his head, and walked into the formation with millet in his arms.
After many twists and turns, Lu Li quickly passed through the maze and arrived at the teleportation array hidden beneath it.
Both Lu Li and Shushu frowned as they smelled the strong, bloody stench emanating from the teleportation array.
Especially Shushu, whose round, hairy face was almost scrunched up, because she smelled an extremely strong scent of dragon blood inside.
Thinking of Lingjun's past experiences, Shushu guessed what was below, and anger flashed in his eyes.
If things turn out as she suspects, she'll definitely destroy this place and never let that kind of person have a peaceful life.
