Chapter 552 Ancient Puppet Beast
Looking at the grassy valley below and the surging river, it seemed like a beautiful holy land in the world, 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 realm looked desolate. However, the "Tower of Babel" he entered this time gave him a completely different intuitive feeling. It looked nothing like it on the surface. What the handwriting records 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 doubt whether he had entered the scene. Just fell into a fantasy.
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 Taoist Yun!"
"Junior Brother Song came very quickly. I guess Junior Brother Jin and the others are not far away." Zhao Menglian also showed a hint of joy when he saw Song Qingming walking over.
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 had the fourth level of Jindan cultivation. He came from the Jindan sect of a small country in the south of Weiguo. There were 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 wouldn't have dared to come alone to try his luck in such a dangerous place as the "Babel Tower".
For a small sect like theirs, the sect only relies on two or three golden elixir ancestors to support the scene. Once a golden elixir monk is suddenly lost, the sect will inevitably decline quickly. There is not much certainty. People like them generally He doesn'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. However, this man was much older than Song Qingming and had been forming elixirs for almost two hundred years. , can be regarded as a person with considerable 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.
Zhao Mengli borrowed this third-level concealment illusion formation from Bai Yuxian. Hiding in the formation, even a person like Song Qingming whose spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of a late-stage Jindan cultivator, would be hard-pressed to detect it for a while. .
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's 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 have seen him before coming in. Although the few people traveling with him have average cultivation, they are not weaklings. I think there should be no such thing." What a big deal."
"Well! Let's set off first. There are more people coming in on this floor now. You still have to be careful and try not to be targeted by others." Huofeng took out a map and looked at it before moving forward with his jade hand. Pointed 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 turned into a red light and returned. in 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. Even if they encountered a strong person in the late Golden Core stage, 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. We might as well find a way to find the teleportation array to enter the upper floor and go directly to the second floor.
I have 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 significantly.”
Jin Ziyuan had just finished speaking, and Song Qingming and Qingluo Zhenren on the side also nodded and agreed with Zhao Mengli's idea. After discussing it, they each stepped on the escape light and flew directly to the southeast.
Half an hour later, Song Qingming and others arrived outside a somewhat dilapidated ancient palace.
Looking around the palace carefully, and then looking at the map in his hand, Zhao Menglian nodded slightly to everyone and said, "This is right. The teleportation array to the second floor is in this palace, but according to the sect. According to the ancient records, there are some powerful ancient puppet beasts guarding this palace, so please be careful when entering. "
Zhao Menglian put away the map in his hand, gave some instructions to everyone, and then took the lead 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 in disappointment.
Everyone passed 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 focused on a pile of rocks lying on the ground in front of them.
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 spiritual power on the pile of rocks.
"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 was destroyed not long ago. Could it be that someone has entered here before us? "
Hearing what Zhao Mengli said, Master Qingluo on the side immediately showed a smile and said: "Haha! There is nothing good here anyway. Someone helped us explore the road in advance, which is quite good. He can give us Save a lot of trouble.”
Zhao Menglian shook his head slightly when he heard this and said: "Fellow Daoist Qingluo, don't be happy too early. The restrictions in this palace are very strong. Even if someone gets rid of these puppet beasts and gets through, they will recover and reappear soon." ”
"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, and prevents those who are too weak from entering the next level at will." Master Qingluo was a little confused. He 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. , it’s better to leave here quickly and go to the first floor!”
Glancing at the somewhat impatient Jin Ziyuan beside him, Zhao Menglian smiled and nodded slightly, not caring about the destroyed puppet beast on the ground, and led everyone forward to a huge stone chamber.
In the middle of the 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.
Around 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. Master Qingluo, who had been eager to show off in front of everyone, took the lead and took out a yellow talisman from his body. After a quick spell, the talisman in his hand Suddenly there was a burst of golden light, and it 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 took out a silver shield in his hand and strode toward the teleportation array.
