Chapter 552 Ancient Puppet Beast
Looking at the grassy valley below and the surging river, it seemed like a beautiful mortal holy land, Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh.
Although the spaces inside the several secret realms he had entered in the past were very large, most places in the secret realms looked desolate. However, the "Tower of Babel" he entered this time gave him a completely different intuitive feeling. On the surface, it is nothing like what is recorded in the handbook. It is a dangerous secret realm full of dangers.
If the magic talisman in his hand hadn't told Song Qingming very clearly that he was getting closer and closer to Zhao Mengli's position, and seeing the scene below him that was no different from the outside world, Song Qingming might have started to have doubts. , did you fall into an illusion as soon as you entered?
After flying forward for about ten miles, Song Qingming followed the instructions of the talisman and soon arrived at a hillside covered with various flowers and plants.
After looking around, just when Song Qingming's face showed a hint of doubt, a burst of white mist suddenly lit up among the flowers on the side of the hillside. Zhao Mengli, who was wearing palace clothes and smiling, and a man in... A middle-aged man in a gray robe strolled out of the white mist.
Seeing the two people who suddenly appeared, Song Qingming immediately showed a smile on his face and took the initiative to step forward and cup his hands slightly.
"Senior Sister Zhao, Fellow Daoist Yun!"
"Junior Brother Song came very quickly. I guess Junior Brother Jin and the others are not far away." Zhao Menglian saw them coming over. Song Qingming also showed a hint of joy on his face.
The man in gray robe standing next to Zhao Mengli also immediately raised his hand to Song Qingming and said hello with a smile on his face.
In addition to the three of them entering the "Babel Tower" this time, Zhao Mengli and Jin Ziyuan also made an appointment with a friend each. This man named Yun, named Yun Xinhe, was one of them. He and Zhao Mengli They are also good friends who have known each other for many years.
Like Jin Ziyuan, Yun Xinhe also has the fourth level of Jindan cultivation. He comes from the Jindan sect of a small country in the south of Weiguo. There are only two Jindan monks in the sect including him.
This time the "Babel Tower" was opened, if it weren't for Zhao Mengli's initiative to invite him, Yun Xinhe would not have dared to come alone to try his luck in such a dangerous place as the "Babel Tower" .
For a small sect like theirs, only two or three Golden Elixir Ancestors can support the scene. Once a Golden Elixir monk is suddenly lost, the sect will inevitably decline quickly. There is no big problem. Of course, people like them generally don't dare to get too involved in the "Tower of Babel", a secret realm where Nascent Soul forces compete for spiritual objects.
The other person who accepted Jin Ziyuan's invitation was a casual cultivator with the same third-level golden elixir as Song Qingming. His Taoist name was Qingluo Zhenren, but this man was much older than Song Qingming. It has been almost two hundred years, and he can be considered a man with rich experience in fighting.
"Junior Brother Song, it might be a little unsafe to stand outside and talk all the time. Let's go back to the formation first!" After saying hello to Song Qingming, Zhao Mengli immediately took him back to where she had just appeared. In the mist of time.
This level three concealment illusory formation was specially borrowed by Zhao Mengli from Bai Yuxian. Hiding in the formation, even a person like Song Qingming whose spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of a monk in the late Jindan period, would be able to hide in the formation for a while and a half. It will also be difficult to find.
Thousands of miles away from Song Qingming's position in the sky, a blue streak flew quickly and landed on a hill below, revealing a giant gray bird.
After carefully looking around, the giant bird opened one of its huge wings and said respectfully: "Your Highness, there is no one around here, it is safe!"
As soon as Long Feng finished speaking, a ray of red light flew out from his huge wings and transformed into a woman in red with a somewhat displeased face.
"Did you see him come in?"
Faced with Huofeng's inquiry, Longfeng nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I saw him before he came in, and several people who were with him Although his cultivation level is average, he is not a weakling. He should not have any problems. What a big problem."
"Well! Let's go first. There are more people coming in on this floor. You should be careful and try not to be stared at by others." After looking at a map, the jade hand pointed forward in another direction.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as I don't meet those Nascent Soul stage guys, no one here should be able to keep me." After Long Feng finished speaking, his wings spread slightly, and soon the fire phoenix transformed again. For a red light returned to his wings.
After Song Qingming and Zhao Menglian met, they waited on the hillside for about a cup of tea. Soon Jin Ziyuan and Qingluo Zhenren also came here.
Before the five people gathered together, they did not encounter any danger, and they immediately relaxed a little. In this secret realm where almost all monks above the Golden Core entered, it would be quite dangerous for any one of them to walk alone in it. One thing.
But after the five people gathered together, they were barely a weak force here. Even if they encountered a strong person in the late stage of Jindan, they could not be afraid of each other with the combined efforts of a few people. .
“There are so many people entering the tower now. It may be difficult to find things on the first floor. Let’s just find a way to find the teleportation array to enter the upper floor and go directly to the second floor. Yes. I just checked the map drawn in the sect's handbook. Our current location is probably on the first floor near the southeast. The nearest teleportation point from here should be only a few hundred miles away."
After hearing Zhao Mengli's analysis, Yun Xinhe immediately nodded and responded: "Fellow Daoist Zhao is right. There will definitely be more good things found on the second level than on the first level. I agree with her suggestion!"
"I also agree with Senior Sister Zhao's opinion. After all, we have a map in hand and can move much faster than those casual cultivators. As long as we can successfully find the teleportation array and enter the second level faster than others, there is a chance that we can find something good. It will also increase greatly."
Jin Ziyuan just finished speaking. Song Qingming and Qingluo Zhenren on the side also nodded and agreed to Zhao Mengli's idea. After discussing it, they set off on their own. Dunguang flew directly to the southeast.
Half an hour later, Song Qingming and others arrived outside a somewhat dilapidated ancient palace.
Looking carefully around the palace, and then looking at the map in his hand, Zhao Mengli nodded slightly to everyone and said: "That's right, the teleportation array to the second floor is right here. In the palace, however, according to the records of the sect, there are some powerful ancient puppet beasts guarding this palace. Everyone should be careful when entering."
Zhao Menglian put away the map in his hand and told everyone. After giving some instructions, he took the lead and walked directly into the palace in front of him.
In the front hall of the main hall, except for the gravel on the ground and some ancient murals on the wall, the entire hall was empty and basically empty.
Seeing that the place had been cleared away by the senior monks, Jin Ziyuan and Qingluo Zhenren checked in the hall and sighed with some disappointment.
Everyone walked through the front hall and came to a long corridor made of many blue boulders. Zhao Mengli, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked at the mess lying on the ground in front of him. On the stone.
Zhao Mengli's unusual behavior immediately attracted the attention of Jin Ziyuan and others behind him. After everyone stepped forward and took a closer look, they discovered that there was still a faint trace of light on the pile of rocks. spiritual power.
“Senior Sister Zhao, is this a puppet beast?”
Zhao Menglian nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this is the ancient puppet beast recorded in the classics. This kind of puppet beast is different from the ones we see outside. Even if there is no monk to control them, they can automatically attack the enemy.
This puppet beast looks like it will be around soon It was destroyed just now. Could it be that someone has entered here before us?"
Hearing what Zhao Mengli said, Master Qingluo immediately showed a smile and said: "Haha! There wasn't anything good inside, so someone helped us explore the way in advance. It's quite good, it can save us a lot of trouble."
Hearing this, Zhao Menglian shook his head slightly and said: "Fellow Taoist Qingluo, don't be happy too early, the restrictions in this palace are very strict. Powerful, even if someone gets rid of these puppet beasts and gets through, it won't be long before they It will also recover and reappear. "
"Oh! This is a bit unexpected. It seems that the person who set up this restriction also intends to test every monk who enters the tower to prevent those who are too strong. Weak people can enter the next level at will." Master Qingluo smiled awkwardly.
"Haha! There were so many monks entering the tower this time. Maybe some seniors happened to be nearby when they came in, and they got through here before us. Whether we can get the glory or not, it doesn't have much to do with us. , let’s leave here quickly and go to the first floor!”
Looking at Jin Ziyuan who was a little impatient next to him, Zhao Mengli smiled and nodded slightly, not caring that the one on the ground had been destroyed. The puppet beast led everyone forward to a huge stone room.
In the middle of this stone chamber, there was a small magic array emitting bursts of white light. Song Qingming just took a look and immediately recognized it. This was a small teleportation array.
Surrounding the teleportation array, there are dozens of various animal-shaped stone statues carved from stone, forming several circular rings around the teleportation array in the middle.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming and others looked at each other. Qingluo Zhenren, who had been eager to show off in front of everyone, took the lead and took out a yellow talisman from his body and cast a spell quickly. Finally, the talisman in his hand suddenly emitted a burst of golden light and transformed into a humanoid spirit puppet that was almost exactly the same height and appearance as him.
"Go!"
Following Master Qingluo's order, the humanoid spirit puppet nodded slightly at him, then a silver shield appeared in his hand and strode towards the teleportation array. .
