Seeing Blood Rose glaring at him with a frantic look, Cao Peng also spread his hands helplessly: "Maybe, this is talent." ”

He couldn't be stupid enough to tell his secret, so he just prevaricated casually as a joke.

And Cao Peng knows that Blood Rose is not like a simple white like Alice, she can't hear her own words, presumably this chick should be interested after understanding her own meaning.

Sure enough, after Cao Peng's half-joking words were finished, although he still looked very depressed, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's go, let's go back at once, this place should be discovered soon. Blood Rose shook her head, not letting herself think about it, and then said.

Cao Peng shook his head slightly, and then said, "Before leaving, I still have some things to confirm. ”

"What's the matter?" Blood Rose couldn't help but wonder.

Now she is full of questions and curiosity about Cao Peng, after all, this guy's identity and strength are so unclear, so she is very concerned about Cao Peng's words and deeds.

After Cao Peng finished speaking, she came up.

Cao Peng didn't answer, but directly took out the holy emblem.

"What the hell is this? it can manipulate such a terrifying light," Bloodrose asked.

This chick is now like a curious baby, asking questions.

"I don't know, but one thing I'm sure of. Cao Peng said slowly, "Power can't come out of thin air, and the Holy Light Sanction of the Church must also have a certain source of power, and the Holy Emblem in my hand is just a key to manipulating that power." ”

He knew very well in his heart that no matter how magical the church was, no matter how rich its heritage was, it would never be possible to generate energy out of thin air.

Everything in the world, all the laws in the world, all follow certain rules.

And among them, conservation is an eternal truth.

Even people like the cultivators of Huaguo are extremely particular about this truth, so they will take one step at a time, starting from the initial foundation and building a high wall little by little.

Therefore, Cao Peng concluded that the Holy Light sanction of the church must have a certain source of strength.

His next goal is to find the source of this power.

Because as far as Cao Peng is concerned, he is indeed very curious about this source of power, what ingenious means does the church use to make a bishop so easily mobilize such a powerful force.

Blood Rose nodded as if she didn't understand, and then asked, "How do you find it?"

"You can't help. Cao Peng shook his head.

Then he stopped talking, but began to feel the emblem in his hand calmly.

The answer lies in this emblem, the kind of thing that clearly resonates with a certain place in the church after it has mobilized its own supernatural power to enter.

And then the light was mobilized.

Therefore, this emblem is the key to the source of power in the church.

Under the mobilization of Cao Peng's mind, the holy emblem in his hand made a buzzing sound again.

Then the whole church began to respond faintly.

In the process of this response, Cao Peng began to savor the feelings, where this feedback came from.

It's just that even if there is a weak connection and feedback between the two, it is still very weak, just like the signal sent by the signal tower, which is filled with invisible 'waves' in the surrounding air, and this kind of thing is also difficult for people to detect.

What Cao Peng is doing now is to pick a needle in the cotton and find out the faint connection like a cocoon.

And the blood rose next to him, after seeing Cao Peng's appearance like this, also understood in his heart what this guy was trying, so he didn't speak again to interrupt Cao Peng's actions.

Instead, he quietly stepped aside to protect Cao Peng.

And guarded the door of the church.

After all, the entire church was now wiped out by Cao Peng, and if anyone else wanted to enter, there would be no members of the Red Cloak who were guarding the door.

Little by little, time passed.

Not long after, Cao Peng's figure moved.

And the Blood Rose, who was guarding the aisle near the door, was startled by a violent noise in the hall.

"Boom~"

There seemed to be some violent impact pouring down on the church.

The Blood Rose flashed and hurried towards the hall.

Soon, she saw a scene that stunned her - at this time, Cao Peng was condensing the strength of his body and smashing towards the ground in the center of the church.

The ground has long been cracked, and the ground has sunk into it a lot, but the strange thing is that the ground is like a spider web, which seems to be very weak, but it has not been damaged much.

"What are you doing here?" shouted Blood Rose glaring.

"I feel like the source of that power is in here, so I need to break it open and take a look!"

Cao Peng said as he didn't stop the movement in his hand anymore, the red energy in his body completely burst out, and then the whole person jumped up suddenly, smashing towards the ground in the center with the impact force of his body.

"Boom Boom"

In the entire hall, Cao Peng's impact voice has been echoing, which is very harsh.

Blood Rose stared at Cao Peng's rough movements, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

This guy is too savage, isn't it?

However, the floor of this church is really hard, you must know that with the physical strength of the supernatural, not to mention Cao Peng's level, even if it is the strength of the blood rose, it can easily break through the wall and shatter the ground.

But in the face of so many bombardments by Cao Peng, this ground still maintained its original appearance, only slightly collapsed and shattered.

Cao Peng used both hands and feet, not only mobilizing the power of the power in his body, but also smashing the ground together with the impact of the holy light of the church.

The sound of the bombardment continued for a long time, and finally the ground suddenly made a violent noise, and then the tortoise-like cracks in the entire ground suddenly exploded.

"Click"

The stones in the ground cracked open, revealing the stones underground.

After the skin of the first layer was destroyed, the church obviously lost its strong defensive energy, and Cao Peng could also feel that the ability to mobilize the holy light of the church on the Holy Emblem was gradually passing away.

This is exactly the same as his previous reaction when he fought with Riven in the church of Yode City, and it also proves Cao Peng's previous inference from the side-

The whole church is a relatively large formation, and the vein totems on the walls, ground and dome of the church are equivalent to the formation veins of the large array.

Once a corner of the formation is destroyed, the power exerted by the entire formation will be greatly reduced, or even completely ineffective.

This is the case at the moment, after trying his best to break through the first layer, the entire church has lost that power, and the next layers of stone and soil are all penetrated by Cao Peng relatively easily.

About five meters underground, Cao Peng suddenly stopped moving.

The blood rose above was also nervously following Cao Peng's progress.

"Could this be the source of strength?" At this time, in front of Cao Peng, a magic circle similar to a six-pointed star appeared in front of him.

A thing with a radius of about one meter, shaped like a bluestone grinding disc, is placed there.

The six-pointed star magic circle was inscribed on it, and then in the very center of the entire formation, a small stone the size of a fingernail attracted Cao Peng's attention.

Cao Peng carefully looked at the small stone.

A strange wave of power emanated from above.

Cao Peng could feel it

The horror of this power, the feeling is like a small wooden barrel with countless explosives condensed.

At the same time, Cao Peng's heart was also full of surprise, and he muttered: "Could this be the source of strength in the church? This thing is too small, right? A small stone in this state can provide such pure power?"

Stone laughs at the level of only one fingernail, and the size can be said to be very inconspicuous, the kind of level that you won't find if you accidentally drop it.

But in such a small crystalline stone, it is full of violent energy.

Now Cao Peng, after the end of his perception, has basically been able to determine that this thing is the source of power in the entire church.

And at the thought that with the help of such a small stone, the Holy Emblem could be used to induce what seemed to be a level of terrifying Holy Light sanction, Cao Peng couldn't help but be very shocked in his heart.

And more critically... The power of the Light seems to be endless, with no sign of exhaustion at all.

That means that the energy contained in this small stone is not only very violent, but also extremely large, which is what surprised him the most.

At this time, Blood Rose also jumped down, looking left and right at the stone.

"This can't be the legendary Philosopher's Stone, right?" said Blood Rose suddenly.

"What is the Philosopher's Stone?" Cao Peng asked.

"I once saw a classified file on the Monroe Church in the NSA's top-secret archives. ”

"It is mentioned in the archives that at the beginning of the establishment of the Monroe Church, the worship of the great god Monroe was condensed on the 'stone of the philosopher', the representative of the power of the great god Monroe. ”

"The Philosopher's Stone is said to be a treasure of the Monroe Holy Cult, possessing magical powers that can ignore the truth of equivalent exchange, and can make even an ordinary person extremely powerful. ”

Blood Rose said slowly.

Listening to Blood Rose's words, Cao Peng's face couldn't help but become heavy.

The Philosopher's Stone... Sounds too lofty, doesn't it?

Cao Peng knew that the equivalent exchange mentioned by Blood Rose should be another description of the concept of conservation by the Chinese people.

Is there really such a thing in the world that can defy the rules of truth?

Cao Peng was skeptical of this kind of rumor, but another meaning in Blood Rose's words really made Cao Peng a little concerned.

She mentioned that the power of the Philosopher's Stone can enable an ordinary person to gain extraordinary power.

In other words, it can shape an ordinary person into an alien.

Isn't this the same as the holy water of the church?

It's all things that can quickly become supernatural.

But at this time, Blood Rose couldn't help but shrug her shoulders: "Of course, these are all messages from the archives that I accidentally saw, I can't guarantee the authenticity of this thing, and I can't guarantee whether this little stone is the legendary philosopher's stone or not." ”

"Hmm. Cao Peng nodded.

He naturally knew that even if there was such a thing as the Philosopher's Stone, the preciousness of that thing would definitely not be low.

How is it possible that it is the turn of every church to bury such a treasure of the world?

Cao Peng no longer thought about it, but stretched out his right hand and took out the small stone.

He wanted to take a closer look at the strangeness of the stone.

It's just that the moment he touched this stone, his pupils shrank slightly, and at the same time, he stopped the movement in his hand and froze in place.

"What's going on?" The Blood Rose next to him noticed Cao Peng's reaction and couldn't help but hurriedly ask.

Cao Peng's face changed, and then he said in a deep voice: "Blood Rose, go and help me protect the Fa, don't let others disturb me, I need a while." ”

"Huh?" Blood Rose couldn't help but stare at Cao Peng, looking very strange, but in the end she nodded heavily: "Okay." ”
