But there is another possibility, that is, she has been trapped in this secret realm ever since, and has obtained the true inheritance of the Martial Emperor, but has been in seclusion and has not come out.
The players fought each other in the tomb, but only got a fake inheritance of martial arts from the monster.
The people from Biluo Mansion broke in from the body monster side, and Liu Yuan only then realized that there was a secret door over there.
However, Liu Yuan felt that the bronze tripod he saw in the secret room should be the most formal entrance. After all, there was a white stone tablet at the beginning, which looked like a boundary marker or a coordinate.
It seems to be closely related to the Nine Cauldrons.
Other entrances, such as where the two little foxes and other people came in, should be more side entrances. I wonder if there is any difference.
"I walked out from the bushes over there. There were traces of me running and falling along the way. We should be able to find the way there if we follow the traces." He Qingmeng recalled carefully.
Chapter 187 It’s decided to be you! Hammer hammer!
"Well, let's go take a look first, and then explore the interior of this palace."
Liu Yuan pondered and looked at the bushes. Sure enough, there were traces of broken branches. Combined with her injuries, it seemed that she had indeed fallen all the way here.
For this delicate and fragile beauty, this kidnapping journey was truly one of hardship and difficulty, and she was almost deadly.
Liu Yuan asked He Qingmeng to walk in the middle with himself, the wounded man. In front of them were Chui Chui with his head held high and two jumping little foxes, and behind them were Zhiying and Hong Fu.
This is certainly not out of ulterior motive, because she can be said to be the weakest in the entire team, and also quite critical. Although Hong Fu's "blood" is useful, He Qingmeng is, after all, the orthodox descendant of Emperor Wu.
Since one needs a descendant of Emperor Wu to enter this secret realm, maybe blood has other uses besides opening the mechanism. It's always a good idea to protect it well.
Liu Yuan felt that this configuration was almost enough for the dungeon.
Now there are two more little foxes in the team, also from the demon race. Like Chui Chui, they possess powers far exceeding those of ordinary cultivators in this secret realm. Moreover, these two little foxes also have a highly sensitive sense of smell.
He was able to track Liu Yuan in the tomb from such a long distance, and could also easily identify the smell that remained on Liu Yuan's body half a month ago.
He is an expert at investigation.
Chui Chui is the shield, Zhiying and Hong Fu are the main output, Zhizhi is the healer, the little foxes are in charge of reconnaissance, and with Liu Yuan in command, He Qingmeng is the NPC required by the mission. It is a perfect dungeon configuration.
Although pure physical output or pure meat monk teams are popular in the Wu Di Cave dungeon, this relatively balanced configuration is also mainstream. After all, it is not easy to put together a team of pure meat and pure physical output above the standard line. In comparison, players actually prefer to use a balanced configuration, but not a magic profession.
If you are at a higher level and are more familiar with the dungeon process and look at the guide, you can basically pass it.
This is the case with Emperor Wu's Cave, and it is also true for this secret realm of similar nature.
"Although it is equivalent to pioneering now, compared with the player team, it is far superior to the former in terms of level and quality." Liu Yuan complained.
They followed the direction indicated by He Qingmeng and arrived at the forest behind the white jade palace.
The surroundings are basically full of towering trees with lush branches and leaves and various dark green vines entwined around them, but it is completely quiet all around, with no insects or birds chirping, which seems particularly strange.
This island has a sense of abandonment and desolation.
"Where is the body?" The two little foxes stopped and looked at the bloodstains on the ground with their big round eyes.
Although the ground was covered in blood, and the flowers and plants were splashed with a large patch of glaring red, and the fallen trees were full of potholes and the broken marks were very rough, it was obvious that they had suffered a huge impact, which showed how fierce the battle was.
Just as He Qingmeng said, they did not gain any benefits whether in the tomb or in this secret realm, but instead were in a miserable state.
"The wooden sign of Biluo Palace!" The little foxes sniffed the air and then looked at a small wooden sign scattered on the ground.
As people working at the Qingfeng Fang, they were particularly sensitive to the Biluo Mansion. They ran over to pick up the wooden cannon, then ran over to hand it to Liu Yuan like a treasure.
Liu Yuan took the wooden sign, touched the heads of the two little foxes, and looked at the two little girls rubbing against his palms with a satisfied look on their faces. He subtly felt like he was playing a flying saucer game with a dog.
He took a look and confirmed that it was the wooden sign of Biluo Mansion. He estimated that the two remaining leaders also died here. However, now...
Not only were the bodies gone, but those half-living, half-dead monsters that He Qingmeng mentioned were nowhere to be seen either.
"The bloodstains show signs of dragging." Zhiying suddenly pushed aside a clump of grass and said calmly.
Liu Yuan moved closer and saw a long bloodstain.
The bloodstains had already merged into the soil, but some parts that had to be covered with mosaics could still be vaguely seen. They meandered intermittently towards a small slope, still pointing to the white jade palace.
In the silence all around, the bloodstain immediately reminded people of the scene where the half-dead monster was dragging the corpse downwards.
It is worthy of being the only copy in the whole game with a horror atmosphere, it’s really true.
It's really the immortal version of Resident Evil.
He Qingmeng was so scared that she closed her eyes and hid behind Liu Yuan, holding his arm tightly, pressing against his delicate body, which was soft and exquisite, enough to arouse people's imagination.
Liu Yuan reached out and patted the back of her hand to comfort her. This feeling of being relied on was very novel... Although he had a lot of women now, there were not many who needed his protection. Most of the time, he was the one being protected.
It may not be quite appropriate to say this, but generally speaking, because all the women in this world are cultivators with high martial arts abilities, the women in this world have a strong side to their personalities, and this kind of true weak attribute is rare.
Liu Yuan comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Just follow me closely. Wherever I hide, you should follow me. I am most afraid of death, so I will probably be able to find the safest place."
This is not a lie, his intuition has always been quite accurate. When figuring out strategies, a little luck is often needed.
"Yes." He Qingmeng responded timidly, "Thank you, sir."
The crowd followed the blood trail and came to the vicinity of the white jade palace, where they saw a dark square doorway that was also covered with vines and looked like it had been covered in dust for a long time.
Now that it has been opened again, it is already stained with blood.
Liu Yuan observed carefully for a while and found that this was actually the entrance. What he saw before should be the building in the back, but now it has become a real pile of ruins because of the spider.
Half of the palace was sunken into the mud, so the doorway was a little tilted. Everyone approached cautiously. The only figure looked serious and said, "There is something, not far inside the doorway."
Liu Yuan's scalp tingled, and he tried to be calm and steady and said, "Retreat first."
"It's too late." Zhiying said calmly, "It's coming."
"!!!"
I'm so fucking calm!
Liu Yuan opened his eyes wide and saw two eerie purple eyes emerging from the pitch-black door as if they were burning.
This was followed by a hoarse, sharp cry.
It sounded like the scream of a monkey, very shrill.
Swish!
A huge black shadow suddenly jumped out from the doorway, carrying with it astonishing momentum and pressure, as well as an extremely foul smell of rot and decay, almost like an overwhelming tidal wave.
“Hammer!”
Liu Yuan shouted and let go of Hammer.
Hammer jumped down and immediately transformed from cat form into a fully released dragon form.
The cute and harmless appearance instantly transformed into a gigantic monster, with vertical pupils as red as boiling magma, ferocious scales burning with blazing flames, a slender body, rugged horns, and sharp claws - the dragon's four claws slammed into the ground, its huge body blocked everyone, and its tail swept across the ground, immediately plowing a trail.
"Roar--!!!" The demon dragon opened its bloody mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth and a long tongue, and roared at the black shadow that rushed out, stirring up a gust of wind.
The dark shadow paused for a moment, as if stunned for a moment.
Then he involuntarily took half a step back.
Chapter 188: Calculation and the Howling Moon Wolf
A huge roar sounded suddenly, and the air waves rolled, shaking the leaves to the ground.
Tang Yuanhua and others who were still studying the white stele looked back vigilantly and looked at each other in surprise.
"Isn't that the direction Liu Yuan and his team and the two little foxes went? What happened?"
Tang Yuanhua reached out and picked up a fallen leaf, saying in confusion.
Pang Ying crossed her arms and said gloatingly, "Could it be that they encountered some monsters from this island? With their cultivation restricted now, they will be in big trouble."
The previous cry for help was enough to alert people in this strange secret place. This guy wanted to take people to be goodies. If something happened and he lost his life, no one could be blamed.
Those two little vixens trusted the wrong person, it's a pity to waste such beautiful appearances.
Someone behind suggested: "It's just that they are acting as pathfinders and clearing the mines for us. Let's bypass that place and continue exploring nearby."
The people around nodded in agreement. One of the people from Qingyun Temple said in a hoarse voice, "This secret realm is too dangerous. According to my experience, the owner of the roar must be a great demon. Only with his physical strength alone, his spiritual power is sealed, can he achieve such an effect. We should not take this risk. What if we attract more demons... We are in a situation like this, and we can't stop them at all."
He was one of the few people in the group who specialized in magic. In this secret realm, he was almost the same as an ordinary person and had completely lost his combat effectiveness. Therefore, he did not want to become cannon fodder.
It is better to be cautious and stay away from danger.
Tang Yuanhua hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, let's go over there and help them."
Pang Ying opened her eyes wide and said incredulously, "A Taoist priest like you has also been infected by that rotten nice guy's disease?"
"Of course not." Tang Yuanhua shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "But even if we avoid this temporary danger now, the entrance we came from has been completely closed. If we want to get out, we still have to explore the entire island. Do you think that there will be no monsters guarding the exit of this secret place?"
Pang Ying was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said, "That's true. You mean, they encountered a monster, which might mean they are getting closer to a clue."
Tang Yuanhua nodded: "That's exactly the point."
"Moreover, if they make such a big fuss now and we remain indifferent, it is unacceptable."
He turned to look at the others and said, "Let's be cautious and don't really have to help them. Let's observe them in secret for a while and see how strong they are. If we really have other clues, we can take action and let them take the lead. What do you think?"
Someone objected, "What if their strength is far beyond our expectations? If we let them lead the charge, what if they break through this secret realm directly? We will have nothing to take, and the Qingfengfang mission will have failed, but we will still be held accountable."
The son and mother coins of the Qingxie Fang are just talk. What really plays a role is the Qingxie Gu in the son coins. The executor carries the son coins with him to record the execution process. The executor can open and close them by himself as evidence. At the critical moment, there is also a teleportation function, which can teleport back to the several original mother coins enshrined in the Qingxie Fang.
However, in this tomb, all things with spiritual power were suppressed, so even if they had money in their hands, they were trapped here and couldn't get out.
Tang Yuanhua said leisurely: "It doesn't matter if it's beyond our expectations. Since they can disregard danger to save an unrelated person, they can naturally save their partners who are in danger."
He looked at the two people from Qingyun Temple.
The latter were stunned for a moment, then realized that Tang Yuanhua intended to use them as bait when necessary.
But the purpose was not to lure the enemy, but to let these two powerless people drag the other party to death.
Pang Ying was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "How can you, a Taoist from Taiqing Pavilion, be more vicious than me, who is from Youmingya?"
This mature woman who looks enchanting and charming comes from the Netherworld in the eastern part of Zhongzhou, where evil sects abound and which is famous for its curse technique.
The Taoist priest Tang Yuanhua, who temporarily served as the leader of this team, was actually from Taiqing Pavilion, one of the two major Taoist sects.
Tang Yuanhua smiled wryly and said, "I'm just an outside servant. Otherwise, why would I come to work for Qingxie Fang?"
It can be seen that he is repulsive about his identity. Pang Ying knows that although Tang Yuanhua cannot be said to be a famous disciple, he is also one of the outer sect disciples. He calls himself a menial worker but it is just a mockery.
She was asking for trouble and snorted, "Who isn't? Okay, there's no point in dwelling on this. Now that we've reached a consensus, let's just follow and see."
At this moment, there were still constant roars and sounds of fighting, and it could be heard that the battle was very intense.
Tang Yuanhua and others followed the sound, but still waited at a distance for a while. Only when the sound of fighting subsided a little did they gradually approach.
The first thing you notice is the white jade-like ruins of the palace. Its mysterious and ancient temperament makes you feel that there must be some secrets hidden in it.
Then he saw that a large part of the corner of the palace building had collapsed, and the ground in front was covered with blood and various traces of fighting, which was shocking.
However, what was even more eye-catching was the dark and smelly mass lying on the ground, wailing and screaming.
Tang Yuanhua roughly judged that the thing looked like a giant wolf. Whether it was the raised back, the bent leg joints, the long snout and hair, or the sharp claws and fangs, they were all symbols of a wolf.
But on the back of this wolf's head, there was a human face!
Although it was covered with hair and looked like a savage, its eyes were completely white, its face was ashen, and it looked unconscious, but it still looked like a human no matter how you looked at it.
The wolf's body was badly rotten, its hair was matted into clumps, and its skeleton was exposed from its shoulder blades to its abdomen. Its internal organs were even beating continuously, and its head was half wolf's face and half human's face.
"Howling Moon Wolf!" Pang Ying recognized the species of this wolf at a glance, but then she frowned again: "It's body is so rotten, it should have been dead a long time ago, how can it still move? And there is a human face behind its head, what on earth is this? It looks a bit like witchcraft..."
If this was in the eastern part of Zhongzhou, she would most likely be sure that this was an extremely evil witchcraft, but this was in the secret realm of Emperor Wu's tomb, and it was really unreasonable for such a thing to appear in the presence of such a representative of the righteous path.
Although the previous mechanical puppets looked a bit creepy, they were actually dead objects. But this one is a living monster, and it has turned into this appearance.
The Howling Moon Wolf is a peculiar low-level monster that lives in the eastern part of Zhongzhou. They usually cannot cultivate to the point of transformation, but their most distinctive ability is that they can change into human form on full moon nights, deceive people and then hunt them.
But the human face growing directly on the back of the head and the wolf head appearing at the same time is not the correct way of transformation. It can only be something done artificially.
They looked in amazement. A gorgeous sword made of gold and silver was stuck in the wolf's body. The girl in white took two steps forward and pulled out the sword, without even a drop of blood on it.
This was not because the girl's sword was too fast, but because the wolf corpse had no blood from the beginning.
Chapter 18|9: Good and Evil, Enlightenment of the Sword
The figure did not put the sword back into the scabbard. He pointed the sword downward and looked at the people who were walking over.
Pang Ying paused, and felt absurdly that the girl's eyes reminded her of several elders in the Netherworld. Those indifferent and silent eyes seemed as if they did not regard people as human beings.
