Chapter 320: Enter the Tower
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard Long Yun's words, and couldn't help but talk to each other, Long Yun frowned: "Okay, okay, everyone knows, don't leak it, in case the news leaks and is known by the people of the Imperial King Sect, not only us, but even the five elders of Xu Yu will be in great danger! Everyone pretends not to know, don't show the flaws to the people of the Imperial King Sect, I and Xu Yu's divine sense transmission will tell her about the situation inside, so that they can also prepare." ”
Outside the tower, Xu Yu and Li Cheng were about to enter, and at this time, Xu Yu received a divine sense transmission from Long Yun, "Xu Yu, we were locked up on the top floor by the people of the Imperial King Sect, and the Imperial King Sect arranged a holy beast to be responsible for guarding us, and the five elders should be able to suppress the holy beast." You have to be careful when you come in, don't alarm the holy beast, and it won't be a big problem for the five elders to suppress it in one fell swoop while it is unprepared. ”
Xu Yu listened to Long Yun's transmission, and the excitement of being about to rescue Long Yun calmed down, and his eyebrows frowned. Li Cheng on the side saw it and became worried. Li Cheng patted Xu Yu on the shoulder: "What's the matter, is there anything in it?"
Xu Yu looked up at Li Cheng and lowered his head again, "Long Yun said that it was one of the holy beasts of the Imperial King Sect that was guarding them inside, and only the five elders could suppress them, and now there are only two of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to save them." What should we do now, can we just watch them imprisoned inside? Xu Yu's voice was a little choked as he spoke.
Li Cheng touched Xu Yu's lowered head, "Since we have come here with nine deaths, there is no reason to give up halfway." Now the elders don't know where they are, and when the elders come to save Long Yun, they may be too late. ”
Li Cheng's tone was affirmative: "Xu Yu, you tell Long Yun, I must give it a try, isn't it a holy beast, and what can't be dealt with!"
Hearing this, Xu Yu raised her head to reveal a pair of hazy teary eyes, nodded vigorously, and she transmitted Li Cheng's meaning to Long Yun.
Long Yun was shocked when he learned that there were only Li Cheng and Xu Yu outside, and only the two of them could walk here. Long Yun knew Li Cheng's character, even if Long Yun said more now, it was useless, Li Cheng wanted to come in and challenge the holy beast to give it a try.
Long Yun was a little at a loss, knowing that Li Cheng could not have the strength to suppress the holy beast, but he was looking forward to his rescue, as if he really believed in his heart that the young man could complete such a decisive kill.
The process of entering the tower was not dangerous, and Li Cheng and Xu Yu entered through the only entrance. It seems that everything inside is as calm as in the square, and there seems to be no trace of life here.
"Long Yun said that they are on the top floor of the tower, let's go up quickly. The calm since entering the tower made Xu Yu relax a little, and she returned to her previous lively temperament, pulling Li Chengcheng to speed forward.
Li Cheng stopped her: "Wait, this kind of place is the secret of the Imperial King Sect, it is impossible to be unguarded, be careful." ”
Xu Yu was a little disappreciative and stuck out his tongue, but he still obediently put his steps full and cautiously followed behind Li Cheng.
"I've counted outside, this tower has eighteen floors, we walked five floors without any danger, it's best not to let your guard down, if we have an accident here, Long Yun and they don't know how long it will take to see the light of day again." ”
Li Cheng seemed to be afraid that Xu Yu would be angry, and explained. Xu Yu didn't go against Li Cheng this time, he hummed obediently, bowed his head and followed behind Li Cheng silently.
Li Cheng was a little surprised by Xu Yu's reaction this time, but he didn't have time to think about it, and carefully watched the surrounding environment. The inside of this tower was much brighter than the barrier they had been trapped in before, but Li Cheng's instinct told him that it was more dangerous than that barrier.
While talking, the two went all the way to the tenth floor, and as soon as they went upstairs, they found that something was wrong, there were traces of fierce fighting from the staircase of the upper floor, and shocking blood stains were everywhere, Li Cheng and Xu Yu secretly mobilized their Xuan power, ready to fight the enemy at any time.
To their surprise, the rest of the journey was no different from before, and there was still no danger, except for scarlet blood stains everywhere. The more this happened, the more uneasy Li Cheng's heart was, and Xu Yu grabbed Li Cheng's sleeve tightly along the way.
Finally, a mutation protrusion arose on the twelfth floor. As soon as Li Cheng and Xu Yu came to the twelfth floor, he felt a pair of evil eyes staring at him. Sure enough, around the corner, a strange beast appeared in front of the two.
The two fangs of this strange beast were turned out more than ten inches long, its long nose was snorting hot air, and its blood-red eyes were full of murderous taste.
Li Cheng protected Xu Yu behind him, mobilized his Xuan Li to attach his fists and feet, and quickly rushed towards the strange beast with his body technique, and the opening fist method was used, and the left and right fists hit the right ribs and left chest of the strange beast respectively, and the strange beast fell to the ground with a loud voice.
Li Cheng was a little surprised, this strange beast looked so fierce, but it was so vulnerable. "Could it be that I have been frequently involved in dangers along the way, and my cultivation has also risen, master?" Li Cheng looked at his fist and secretly rejoiced.
Xu Yu rolled his eyes, "Don't be stinky, this strange beast is injured, you see its left leg and lower abdomen, obviously it has been seriously injured, it is the end of the strong crossbow, otherwise you are afraid that you will not be its opponent!"
Li Cheng scratched his head when he heard this, a little ashamed, and hurriedly opened his mouth to get rid of the embarrassment: "I was still wondering why this strange beast is so vulnerable just now, Xu Yu, I suddenly became enlightened by your explanation."
No wonder we were safe and sound along the way, someone must have walked ahead of us and cleared the way for us, I don't know how many strange beasts like this have been killed along the way, so much blood will be left behind, but who do you think will clear these troubles for us?"
Li Cheng scratched his head again as he spoke, and suddenly he and Xu Yu glanced at each other, and the two of them said at the same time: "It's the elders, they, the elders, they're in front of us!"
Li Cheng and Xu Yu were delighted, it must be their own people who ventured forward like them in this tower, these powerful beasts were tortured and killed like local chickens and dogs, and there would be no one else except the elders who had such strength.
Now that they are walking on the path that the elders have walked, they are naturally extra relieved, and they only need to be careful of some seriously injured fish that slip through the net. So they are much more relieved than when they first arrived, and they are moving forward a lot faster.
"These strange beasts must have been raised by the Imperial King Sect, and I don't know if the elders don't understand the situation inside, so let's hurry up and catch up with the elders, in case they don't know that the Holy Beasts of the Imperial King Sect are in charge of guarding it, and they may suffer a big loss if they are not prepared to rush in. ”
Hearing Li Cheng say this, Xu Yu also nodded heavily, and the speed of the two of them accelerated a few points.
Li Cheng and Xu Yu moved forward quickly, and they were all unimpeded along the way, and finally found the sound of fighting on the fifteenth floor of the tower. The two hurriedly followed the sound, and sure enough, they saw the second elder and the third elder.
Their battle was nearing the end, only a few hideous-looking beasts surrounded the two elders, and the ground was covered with the corpses of the torn beasts, the two elders were usually very easy-going with long hair and beards, but now they were also splashed with a lot of blood, and they looked quite dignified without anger.
The second elder shouted, a mysterious force stirred, and the last few strange beasts also turned into broken corpses, obviously he and the third elder had already discovered Li Cheng and Xu Yu, and the two came to Li Cheng's side and looked up and down.
"You kid is quite bold," the third elder snorted coldly, "You actually took Xu Yu to this kind of place alone." ”
The second elder was very easy-going, and smiled: "Third elder, weren't you and I so vigorous when we were young, we are not afraid of heaven and earth," he said and looked at Li Cheng, "It's good to be able to break into here at a young age, yes, I and the third child appreciate you very much." ”
Li Cheng was neither humble nor arrogant, and saluted: "The juniors are not talented, if it weren't for the two elders to clean up the strange beasts in this tower, Li Cheng would never have been able to get here, and he must have to advance and retreat when he reaches the ninth layer." ”
The third elder said angrily: "What! Just because you kid still want to go up to the ninth layer? With your current cultivation, it is difficult to pass the third layer! Do you know where the mechanism of this eighteen-story demon tower is?"
The first nine layers are dangerous illusions, the middle seven layers are dangerous beasts, and the last two layers are the dangers of dangers. You don't really think that there are no mechanisms on the first nine floors, right, because the second child and I broke all the mechanisms!"
Li Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and the second elder stroked his beard and nodded: "What the third elder said is right, this eighteen-story demon tower is difficult in front and back, and the strange beast in the middle is the simplest." There are several layers of illusions that are indeed a bit tricky, and the third child has also suffered a small loss, so his temper is a bit big now. ”
"Li Cheng, the young man is promising, the third elder and I admire you very much," the second elder suddenly turned grim, and said in a straight voice: "Are you willing to worship under our door and be our disciple!?"
Hearing the Second Elder's words, Li Cheng was a little stunned, and couldn't help but look up at the Third Elder. Although the three elders were still unhappy, they also nodded at him, and the two elders asked him if he was willing to apprentice, and Li Chengcheng was willing to dream of it.
The Second Elder and the Third Elder took a fancy to Li Cheng's young man's promisingness, and wanted to accept him as a disciple, after all, at his age, it was unusual to be able to take Xu Yu through many hurdles and come here.
"Li Cheng, what else do you have to hesitate," the third elder opened his eyes and drank: "On weekdays, there are countless young descendants who want to become the disciples of our two elders, and now we have taken the initiative to accept you as an apprentice, and you are still pushing back, you are too arrogant!"
Seeing that the three elders seemed to be angry, Li Cheng quietly moved his steps and stood in front of Xu Yu. At the same time, he was slowly thinking.
"I and Xu Yu may be able to fight with these three elders by joining forces, but there is an unfathomable second elder next to him, and if he makes a move, he really has no chance of winning. These three elders have strange tempers, but I still pretend to agree to be their disciple, so as not to provoke him and delay his business. ”
Since Li Cheng already had a plan in his heart, he stabilized his mind, and at the same time gently shook Xu Yu's jade hand and told her not to worry.
Li Cheng turned his head to the two elders and said, "The juniors have long admired the names of the second elder and the third elder, and today they are even more admired when they see the amazing strength of the two elders. ”
When the second elder heard this, he stroked his beard, and said with an unfathomable smile on his face: "In this way, Li Cheng, you intend to worship under our disciples?
Li Cheng arched his hand and said: "The two elders deigned to personally propose to accept Li Cheng as an apprentice, how could Li Cheng refuse such a good thing." He changed his words and said: "But the juniors have something to ask for, and the two elders promised Li Cheng to apprentice!"
The second elder and the third elder glanced at each other and nodded slightly, Li Cheng had such a cultivation at a young age, and his future strength was unimaginable. If they can receive a disciple with such qualifications as Li Cheng today, Li Cheng will become a great weapon in the future, and their status in the sect will also rise.
"It's okay for you to say it," the third elder snorted coldly, "But if you want us to release Long Yun and the others, it's better not to speak!"
Li Cheng's heart was a little shocked when he heard the words of the third elder, but his face was not shocked and did not show anything. Li Chengdao: "The younger generation only asks for one thing, and it is not related to Long Yun and others. The younger generation is willing to worship the two elders as teachers, and only asks the two elders to relieve the poison on the body of the younger generation. ”
The second elder was a little surprised when he heard this, he saw that Li Cheng's face was ruddy and his breath was calm, not like the poison in his body. "What kind of poison did you get into, and who did it!?"
Li Cheng said unhurriedly: "Li Cheng and Xu Yu were threatened by the five elders before, and it was the five elders who forced me and Xu Yu to come and rescue Long Yun and the others. The Fifth Elder also poisoned the two of us.
If we don't listen to his arrangement, we can't get the antidote, and we will die of poison. That's why the younger generation came here all the way, and the two elders don't want to blame, Li Cheng and Xu Yu didn't mean to come here. ”
