Chapter 396: The Cross
After Shi Mu left the secret room, he carefully avoided the prohibition on the ground and continued to quietly move up the stone stairs.
With the experience of the previous floors, he just glanced at the back floors, as long as he didn't find anything unusual, he didn't stop any longer, and went straight to the twenty-first floor.
There had been a lot of delay before, and he was worried that the Ape King would turn back halfway.
When he was about to reach the twenty-first level, Shi Mu's face changed, his footsteps stopped, and his figure hid into the shadow of the stairs.
On the stairs in front of them, there were several corpses of demon clan avatar guards lying horizontally, all of them were pierced by a blow in the chest, and the blood was still flowing slowly, obviously not long after being killed.
Shi Mu's eyes flickered, and after a short pause on these corpses, he looked higher.
Most of Ling Tianfeng's transformation guards have innate strength, they can kill with one blow, and at least they have the strength above the ground level.
"Could it be that someone also wants to take this opportunity to sneak into Ling Tianfeng?"
Shi Mu's heart turned with thoughts, a little under his feet, and his body silently continued to sweep towards the heights.
After a while, Shi Mu finally came to the twenty-first layer.
At the entrance of the floor, there are also a few corpses lying on it, judging from the clothes and appearance of the body, the strength of these demon clan guards is obviously much stronger than the few just now, and the strength should be around the late congenital stage, but in front of the comers, it is obviously also vulnerable, and it has been solved silently.
The 21st floor is somewhat similar to the 16th floor, except that there are more stalactites here than before, blocking most of the view, and it is dense and sparse, with a curved corridor faintly outlined in the middle.
Shi Mu's eyes swept over these stalactites with golden light, but there was no light all over the ground, and he didn't know if it had been destroyed or if there was no one.
Shi Mu thought so and walked forward quietly.
No matter who it is, he has come to this point at the moment, and it is naturally impossible to give up.
After advancing in the corridor for a moment, he came across a corner, and a soft humming sound came from ahead.
Shi Mu's face changed slightly, his body was attached to the corner, and he looked ahead, his pupils shrank.
Ahead was a stone gate that was a few feet high, and it was shrouded in a layer of white light.
Three gray-robed figures stood in front of the stone gate at this moment, and the two tall figures on the left and right wrapped their hands in two gray lights, constantly bombarding the white light on the stone door.
The relatively short gray shadow in the middle didn't move, clasped hands in front of him, and said something in his mouth.
The aura emanating from the three of them was a ground-level existence.
With a flash of light, an octagonal roulette wheel emerged in front of the dwarf gray figure.
The dwarf gray shadow waved his hands, and red, white, and blue rays of light appeared on the roulette wheel, which quickly brightened and condensed into a pillar of red, white and blue light, shining on the stone gate.
As soon as the white light on the stone door touched the three-color pillar of light, it finally gradually dissipated.
After a dozen breaths, only a thin layer remained of the white light curtain.
The dwarf gray shadow let out a low shout, and the three-color light pillar became thick again, and three-color runes appeared in the light pillar.
The gray light emitted by the hands of the other two tall gray-robed figures also flourished at the same time, and a trace of green light appeared in the gray light.
The white light curtain on the stone door swayed for a while, and finally shattered and dissipated.
The stone door let out a roar and slowly opened.
Seeing this, Shi Mu's face moved.
The diminutive gray-robed man in the middle put away the roulette wheel, waved his hand, and the three of them walked into the stone gate.
A moment after the three of them left, Shi Mu followed.
Behind the stone gate, there was a pitch-black road, and I don't know where it leads.
Shi Mu didn't dare to use his divine sense to investigate, so as not to alarm the three people in front of him, so he had to observe with his naked eyes and hang far behind the three people.
Although his eyesight is not as good as Cai'er, it is far beyond the same level, and because the green cloak on his body can shield his divine sense, he doesn't have to worry about being perceived by the three people in front of him.
This road is not very long, only one or twenty zhang.
The three gray-robed figures quickly walked out and came to a space of more than ten zhang surrounded by stalactite rocks.
Facing the exit of the road, a stone gate with a height of several feet appeared again, and there was an ape relief on the left and right sides of the door, which was lifelike.
When Shi Mu saw this, he was overjoyed.
This stone gate is exactly the same as the sixteenth floor!
The stone gate was also shrouded in white forbidden light, but the prohibition here was obviously much more powerful than the previous stone gate.
The three gray-robed men walked to the stone gate, just about to break the ban on the stone gate as they did before.
At this moment, the stalactites on one side rumbled and roared, and the rubble flew sideways, revealing a hole.
Then a jet-black shadow flew out of it, extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye collided with a tall gray figure closest to the entrance of the cave.
The tall gray figure also reacted very quickly, and the gray light on his body was shining, and he immediately greeted him.
"Bang bang" There was a fierce sound of fists and kicks intersecting, and both sides retreated to the rear.
Only then did Shi Mu see clearly that the black shadow was a wolf-shaped puppet with a black body, with a body two or three zhang long, a smooth body, and cold and shining claws on its limbs, like sharp blades, and dagger-like teeth growing out of its mouth.
The wolf-type golem also has a ring of thick barbs on its back, which is a foot long, and looks extremely hideous.
After Shi Mu looked at it, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Although the appearance of this wolf-shaped puppet was ugly and hideous, the aura it emitted was extremely powerful, and it had even reached the rank of the earth.
Shi Mu had also seen some puppet trap beasts before, but their strength was very weak, but he didn't expect to see an earth-level puppet on this Ling Tian Peak.
He couldn't help but look at the wolf-shaped puppet twice, and then his eyes looked at the gray-robed figure.
The gray-robed figure and the wolf-type puppet fought hand-to-hand for a while, and the gray robe on his body had been torn, revealing his true face.
Shi Mu's face changed, and under the gray robe turned out to be a tall square-faced barbarian man, with long green hair growing on his exposed skin on his hands and feet, long green nails on his hands, and his eyes were dull.
The gray robe seemed to have a concealing effect, and after it shattered at this moment, the square-faced barbarian man's body exuded a strong necromantic aura.
"Zombie Gong!" Shi Mu was taken aback.
The wolf-type puppet stood firm, and immediately said nothing, turned into a black light and pounced again, biting the throat of the barbarian man, one of the two front paws grabbed the barbarian chest, and the other grabbed the lower abdomen, and the attack was fierce.
The barbarian man's body was motionless, and in the face of the attack of the wolf-type puppet, he did not have the slightest intention of dodging.
With two muffled sounds, the wolf-shaped puppet's sharp front claws stabbed into the body of the square-faced barbarian man, but it only pierced a few inches before stopping, unable to go any further.
The same goes for the sharp teeth on the neck of the square-faced barbarian man.
The green light flashed in the eyes of the square-faced barbarian man, and his hands were put together, and he grabbed the body of the wolf-shaped puppet like iron pincers, and hugged it to death.
At this moment, the figure behind the wolf-shaped puppet flashed, and another tall figure appeared ghostly, the gray robe was blown up by the strong wind, revealing another tall barbarian figure, but it was an expressionless middle-aged barbarian, exuding a strong necromantic aura, and his body was also covered with long green hair.
The middle-aged barbarian's eyes flashed with hideous green light, his hands were wrong, and a dazzling green light appeared on his right hand.
He let out a low roar, and his right hand suddenly turned into a green shadow, piercing into the back of the wolf-shaped golem and peeking through its chest, clutching a black hedron the size of an egg.
The light on the wolf-shaped puppet's body suddenly dissipated, and it fell to the ground, limp and motionless, and the aura emitted also dissipated as the black hedron was dug out, turning into a dead thing.
The dwarf figure didn't move the whole time, not even a glance, and kept looking at the prohibition on the stone door in front of him.
He looked at it for a moment, waved his hand and sacrificed the octagonal roulette wheel, and the three-color pillar of light flew out and bombarded the stone door.
The forbidden light on the stone gate shone like a spirit, and wisps of white light converged and condensed into a white light shield, resisting the three-color pillar of light.
"There is a double ban, and it seems that it will take a lot of effort. The gray-robed figure muttered to himself, waving his hand to recall the octagonal roulette.
As soon as the words fell, this person waved his hands, and gray light flew out of his hands and landed on the ground around him, but they were gray flags, planted on the ground, forming a magic circle.
Shi Mu, who was hiding in the distance, frowned when he heard this person speak.
The gray-robed man's voice gave him a faint sense of familiarity, as if it was the voice of a familiar person, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
A moment later, the gray-robed man shot out the last command flag in his hand and planted it on the ground, forming an oval formation.
The gray-robed people chanted words, and dozens of banners on the ground lit up gray pillars of light at the same time, condensing together, forming a gray light the thickness of a bucket, which was led by the gray-robed man and bombarded towards the stone gate.
The forbidden white light on the stone door burst out, condensing into a white light shield again, resisting the gray pillar of light.
The gray-robed man chuckled lightly and waved his hand to spell a spell.
The gray pillar of light suddenly split apart, turning into several gray bands of light, entangled the white light shield.
With a flash of light, the octagonal roulette wheel resurfaced in mid-air, lighting up with a three-color pillar of light, shining on the stone gate.
The white light shield trembled violently, trying to break free from the gray light, but unfortunately it didn't have much effect, no matter how it struggled, it was entangled by the gray light.
The stone gate was illuminated by a three-color pillar of light, and the forbidden light on it quickly dissipated.
The two barbarian men were also wrapped in gray light with their hands at this moment, and they bombarded the stone gate with a fist, making a "bang" sound.
After a full quarter of an hour of this, the light on the stone door flickered twice and dissipated.
The gray-robed figure had a happy face and waved his hand.
The middle-aged barbarian appeared in front of the stone gate in a flash, and slowly pushed the stone gate open with both arms.
Shi Mu stepped forward slightly, and his eyes looked towards the space behind the stone gate at the same time, and his face changed greatly.
Inside the stone door is a space like the previous sixteen-story stone chamber, the floor is paved with emerald green material, but the walls on all sides and above are jet-black, which looks quite strange.
But none of this was there, and the green ground of the stone chamber was impressively carved with thick golden runes, like spider webs covering the entire stone chamber, forming a huge formation.
In the center of the circle was a white platform, on which a black cross two or three feet high was erected.
There was a bloody humanoid thing on the cross, which looked like a human body, tortured and bruised, and there was hardly a piece of good flesh visible from the top and bottom of the body. (To be continued.) )
