Chapter 248: #248 - Chapter 248: A Chess Piece Given for Free Should Not Be Used

Without feeling how long he had been transported, Lu Xin arrived at a place, different from the outside, where there was no earth fiend aura shrouding it. The flowers, plants, and trees were naturally colorful.

After not sensing any danger, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. Without stopping, he followed the traces on the ground and walked forward.

This place didn't seem very big. After walking for about half an hour, he quickly sensed movement and quickly merged into the ground, switching to stealth.

Ahead was a palace, enveloped by a layer of mysterious yellow light. At the same time, there was also a row of statues in front, looking ferocious and evil.

However, only one remained intact. The others were missing arms or legs, and some had even lost their heads.

“A restriction?”

Lu Xin sized up the mysterious yellow light罩, suppressed the thought of immediately sneaking over, and turned his gaze to the people in front of the statues.

Song Shu, Shi Yu'er, and Lengmian Xian were all there, temporarily without any movements, seemingly discussing something.

He didn't see the figure of the White-Browed Monk, so he must still be hiding somewhere.

So, he decided to find him first, because he wanted to be the hunter.

Soon, he discovered a ball of earthy yellow light, not far from those people. Perhaps Shi Yu'er's attention was all on the light罩 this time, allowing the White-Browed Monk to sneak so close to her.

Only less than a hundred miles apart.

After confirming the opponent's location, Lu Xin temporarily ignored him and began to concentrate on listening to what they were discussing.

“Do you have any other means to break this restriction?” Lengmian Xian looked at Song Shu and the other four.

Song Shu shook his head, “I have already used all my strength just now, but I can't even shake it a bit, so this restriction should not be something we can break with brute force.”

“Then what should we do?”

With the difficulty in front of them, Madam Ba Qing's tone was much friendlier, but her expression was extremely unwilling, obviously because the treasure was right in front of them, but they couldn't obtain it.

“Could there be other methods? Also, what are these statues for?” The Earth Immortal stage woman suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, and they began to size up the statues that they had been ignoring.

“It really is a restriction.” After listening to their conversation, Lu Xin decided not to delay any longer, because no matter how strong the restriction was, it was useless in front of him.

However, he couldn't rashly go forward, it would be bad if that Shi Yu'er sensed the fluctuations.

Even if he was going to be discovered, he would have to wait until after he went in and got the treasure.

So, he had to think of a way to divert her attention.

“Got it!”

With a turn of his mind, Lu Xin came up with a plan. He set his sights on the White-Browed Monk, the free pawn was useless if he didn't use it.

With a plan in mind, he carefully sneaked in a little further, and then silently shot out a wisp of mana towards the yellow light that the White-Browed Monk had transformed into.

“Who?”

However, before the mana reached the White-Browed Monk, it was detected by Shi Yu'er, but by the time she shouted, the mana had just arrived.

With a “bang”, it struck the ball of yellow light.

This sound, even the person with the weakest perception, could detect it, so Song Shu and Lengmian Xian disappeared from the spot at the same time, surrounding the place where the sound came from.

“Bang!”

Another loud noise erupted, clods of earth flew, and a yellow light soared into the sky, instantly dodging the two's attacks.

“It's you!”

The White-Browed Monk revealed his figure, and Lengmian Xian's brow furrowed obviously, appearing very surprised.

“White-browed baldy, are you the White-Browed Monk?”

Song Shu obviously recognized him as well, his expression was also very surprised, and at the same time, as if thinking of something, he quickly distanced himself from Lengmian Xian.

Behind them, Shi Yu'er and the other three also distanced themselves from Madam Ba Qing.

The White-Browed Monk frowned tightly, ignored them, and looked back. Behind him, there was only a huge pit, left by the two's attacks just now.

“You've been following behind me?”

Lengmian Xian didn't care about Song Shu who was deliberately keeping his distance from him, and looked at the White-Browed Monk with cold eyes. There was only one possibility for him to appear here, and that was that he had been following behind him all along.

Thinking of this, his back felt a little cold.

Seeing that there was nothing to be found, the White-Browed Monk turned his head and sneered: “That's right, haven't you been looking for me all along? Why, I'm following you, and you're afraid instead?”

Song Shu next to him secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they seemed to have a conflict, and weren't in the same group.

However, it couldn't be ruled out that they were putting on a show for him, and secretly remained vigilant.

At this time, Madam Ba Qing stepped forward and asked suspiciously: “Old monk, what were you looking at just now?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was also puzzled. The White-Browed Monk's actions just now were indeed strange, and on closer thought, the other party seemed to have exposed himself very suspiciously.

Even if he was careless, he shouldn't have made such a big noise.

The White-Browed Monk snorted coldly, “What else could I be looking at you for? Do you think I wanted to expose myself? Someone else is still behind me, and for some reason pushed me out.”

“There really is someone else!”

Everyone was both surprised and not too surprised upon hearing this. The reason why they felt so complicated was because they didn't expect that there would be so many tails following behind them.

“Who is it? Where is he?” Madam Ba Qing's expression changed, and she released her divine sense, scanning everywhere, but found nothing.

The others were the same, dispersing to search.

Song Shu even used the Shrinking Earth and Shadow Piercing technique to probe underground, but perhaps due to insufficient cultivation, or perhaps due to not mastering the technique, the range of the probe was very limited.

He gave up after only probing for a while. Being in this place, he couldn't consume too much energy.

“Could it be that we were followed there?” Shi Yu'er frowned, suddenly thinking of the big tree that was blasted apart. She now faintly felt that it wasn't an illusion at all at that time.

“Girl Yu'er, what other discoveries did you have just now?” Song Shu rubbed his forehead and turned to ask.

Shi Yu'er shook her head, “I only discovered a wave of fluctuation, and then I heard a loud noise.”

“Then, when we took action just now, did you notice anything else?” He asked again.

Shi Yu'er shook her head.

“Since that's the case.”

Song Shu turned his head to look at everyone, “No matter who the other party is, or what their purpose is, let's first think of a way to break this restriction.”

“That's right, anyway, the other party can't get in if this restriction isn't broken.” The burly man added.

… …

On the other side, Lu Xin had already used the 《Wood-Stone Stealth》 technique with all his strength when they took action and caused a huge commotion. Almost instantly, under the 【Restriction Breaking Body】, he successfully entered the palace.

“No way, I worked so hard to get in, don't tell me there aren't any treasures.”

At this time, Lu Xin had already wandered around the palace, following the principle of rather taking the wrong thing than letting it go, he collected all the tables, chairs, bottles, and cans that he could move.

However, they all looked unremarkable, and none of them were treasures.

“There's only the last room left. This room is located deep inside, and is also protected by a restriction. I hope I won't be disappointed.”

Lu Xin came to the last door and carefully passed through the restriction and walked in.

He glanced around and found that the room was not large, and the layout was very compact. Looking at the decoration, it should be a woman's boudoir.

He quickly finished looking around and came to a bronze mirror. He didn't know how long it had been, but the mirror surface was still very bright, but it still reflected his figure very distorted.

Because there were three large characters engraved on it.
