Chapter 122: The North Palace
The northern area, also known as the North Hall of the Third Palace, is an important storage place.
Dong Tu Nan led a group of people to step into the hall one after another, and a heavy momentum came to his face, and he suddenly felt a sense of admiration and awe.
Unlike the pitch darkness of the west hall, the north hall is brightly lit, and the lamps and candles shine brightly, dispelling the dim and gloomy meaning.
The interior of the entire hall is supported by a number of huge stone pillars, each of which is engraved with a whirling and coiling, lifelike ancient dragon, which is particularly magnificent.
On all sides is a wall of gray and black stone, about two meters high, covered with pictures. The walls are built in an undulating jagged shape, and in the middle of each wall there is a strange pattern, like a giant beast entrenched on it.
On the left side of the main hall, there is a pavilion, there are stairs on the pavilion, and the steps are connected to the pavilion, extending to the top. The eaves at both ends of the pavilion top are protruding, and the two eaves are in the shape of a flying dragon, like black scales and black armor, vivid and vivid, as if they want to fly into the air.
The antique and simple style makes people feel majestic spontaneously.
Seeing that pavilion, Dong Tu Nan couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Jin, that's where the nine-story pavilion is, right?"
Just now, it mentioned that there is a nine-story pavilion here, and there are gatekeepers in it, as long as you defeat them, you can obtain the corresponding treasures.
Now it seems that this must be the one in front of you.
"Yes, that's the entrance to the level, as long as you climb up, you will enter the first level. Jin replied truthfully.
"Then you see, I'm the new palace master now, don't you have to break through these layers? Just give me the treasures, hurry up!" Seeing the pavilion, such a thought suddenly popped into Dong Tunan's mind.
"No!" To his surprise, Xiao Jin sternly refused.
"Why?" said Dong Tu Nan Chuan Yin lamented.
"No, it's not good, this is the old palace master's regulations. Anyone who wants to get the treasures on the pavilion must go through the level in person, even if you are the new palace master!"
"Well, that's it. Regarding the old palace master's series of regulations, Dong Tu Nan also felt very speechless.
First of all, there are the three tasks that have been formulated.
You must complete one of them in order to obtain one-third of the treasures in this third dungeon. In other words, if you want to fully control this dungeon, you must wait until you have completed all three tasks.
Secondly, as Xiao Jin said now, if you want to get the treasures in the pavilion, you must go through the level in person!
From these words, Dong Tu Nan also heard a subtle meaning. Seem... The treasures in the pavilion are extraordinary, otherwise how could they be so demanding?
"No matter what, I'm still going to break through!" Although he said that he wanted to ask for a baby directly, but in his heart, he still had some expectations for a challenge, which came from his competitive heart.
Between Dong Tu Nan and the Golden Devouring Rat King, the other three were all shocked by the scene in this hall.
"Here... Tsk! It's really magnificent!" Han Wancheng rubbed his palms together and paced back and forth in the main hall, looking around, and said in amazement.
Under the carved beams and painted walls, Wu Qi stretched out his hand and gently supported the surface of the stone wall, walking slowly along the wall path, staring at the top of the stone wall with a pair of eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down, and Dong Tu Nan turned his head slightly, but he saw Wu Han's blue eyes like water, looking at him intently.
"You ......," Dong Tu Nan said slowly, pointing at her.
"Huh?" Wu Han was stunned, as if he had broken free from a daze, and he hesitated for a while, but did not speak again.
Ignoring her, Dong Tu Nan just called the other two back, and several people gathered around.
"This is the north hall of the dungeon, through my interrogation of this gold-devouring rat just now. On that pavilion, there are nine levels of levels, and every time you pass a level, you can get the corresponding treasures. Dong Tu Nan said with a serious face.
For Wu Han and them, Dong Tu Nan still has something to hide.
As early as in the West Palace, when Dong Tu Nan had just been recognized by the Gold Devouring Rat King, he explained to everyone that he was lucky enough to directly capture the Rat King and sign a blood source contract with him, so he subdued the group of Gold Devouring Rats.
Then, on the grounds that the gold eater rat had lived here for a long time, he asked a lot of information from it: the mountain wolf went to the northern region, and this pavilion at this moment.
The reason why he didn't tell them the truth was actually because Dong Tu Nan still had two concerns in his mind.
First, I have not known them for a very long time, and they have only stayed in contact with each other on the surface, and have not experienced the test of life and death.
Therefore, for the time being, Dong Tu Nan is not very comfortable telling them this secret.
Second, even if they have regarded Dong Tu Nan as their own people who share life and death, Dong Tu Nan still will not choose to tell them about it.
After all, the matter of the mysterious Third Underground Palace changing hands was sensational enough, and even he didn't know how to deal with it, would those elders of the Xuanyun Sect interfere in this matter?
In short, there will be a lot of trouble during this period. Therefore, even if they regard themselves as real friends, it is impossible for Dong Tu Nan to let them carry part of this ** annoyance for themselves.
"Break through this pavilion?" Wu Qi looked at the pavilion in front of him, feeling a little surprised.
Wu Han and Han Wancheng also didn't expect that they could also get treasures by breaking through the level here, and for a while, everyone's faces began to glow.
"That's right, according to my guess, the treasures obtained by breaking through the level must not be ordinary, which can greatly improve our strength. Dong Tu Nan said.
Immediately afterwards, he told the three of them in detail about the characteristics of the gatekeepers and the strength of the guards that Xiao Jin said.
"In this way, the lower the cultivation, the greater the advantage?" Wu Qi said thoughtfully.
"Theoretically, so. Those who are at the same level as the challenger will maintain their level of cultivation, and the lower the cultivation, the higher the strength of the gatekeeper. So, in a sense, it's really good for us. "I have to say that Dong Tu Nan still agrees with the point of view of martial arts.
"In addition, I estimate that the mountain wolf is also breaking through nine times out of ten, otherwise he should have appeared a long time ago after he came in for so long. He looked at the pavilion in front of him and guessed.
"It must be so, if my feeling is not wrong, the sound of the fierce fight just now came from above the pavilion. Wu Han took a step forward, his gaze staring ahead, extending to the top.
"Have those Tianjiao also come over......" Before the waterhole, the tripartite forces represented by Su Yuhao, Qianxue Gongzi and Li Jiajun confronted each other.
At this moment, I actually came here. Sure enough, they acted quickly and targeted, or rather, they were rushing for the treasures of this third dungeon from the beginning.
Immediately, Dong Tu Nan immediately turned to look at them and said, "Without further ado, let's hurry up, otherwise when the mountain wolves and those heavenly arrogances come out, our chances of victory will be even lower!"
The three of them were naturally able to understand the seriousness of the matter, and they did not delay, even if they responded, and then walked up to the pavilion together.
"Xiao Jin, the pavilion is so big, there are so many people now, can it accommodate it?" As the group walked on the steps of the pavilion at the end, Dong Tu Nan communicated with the Gold Devouring Rat King with his thoughts.
"No, no!" Xiao Jin replied proudly: "You don't think it's very big on the surface, but in fact, there is another world in the pavilion, and everyone who enters it will be divided into an independent space, and it will not affect each other." ”
"I see. Dong Tu Nan suddenly realized.
Wow.
Walking up the pavilion quickly, what greeted him was a small space, thinking about what Xiao Jin said, Dong Tu Nan walked in suspiciously.
Airplanes~
As soon as he stepped in, there was a sudden shock around his body, and a slight ripple appeared in the air, and the air flow centered on him and quickly spread out in all directions.
"Huh?"
A brilliant light burst out of the small space, and converged on Dong Tu Nan in unison.
I only felt that there was a warm glow enveloping me, and Dong Tu Nan seemed to be supported by some kind of force, and then the sky was spinning, and there was a white expanse in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
The light suddenly faded, and a large martial arts training ground appeared in front of him.
"Where is this?" The rapid change of the scene made Dong Tu Nan a little unable to react for a while.
"It's the first level, it's begun!" Xiao Jin's voice sounded in his head.
"Huh, where did you go?" Dongtu glanced down at the south side, but there was no figure of Xiao Jin, and he couldn't help muttering in surprise.
Thundered......
Just when he was still contemplating and thinking, the martial arts training ground in front of him suddenly trembled from the center, like a mountain collapse, and the entire ground began to shake.
I heard a bang!
A majestic figure flashed out of nowhere, prostrate on the ground, slowly raised its head in the smoke, and then stood up.
"Coax~"
A low beast roar came out, and all the thick mist was washed away, and the shadow that slowly came out inside was gradually revealed.
A giant source beast!
I saw that its body was like that of a tiger, and its head was like that of a lion, and it had a fierce and hateful countenance, and its nose was protruding to form a horn, and its teeth were three feet long, and its shape was like a chisel, and it was under the chin.
It also has three tails, and its roots are like long snakes. There is no hair at the end of the tail, but it has a big mouth full of sharp teeth, as if dragging three snakes behind it, which is very terrifying.
Dong Tu Nan looked at it with slightly dull eyes, but there was a little cry in his heart.
This is like a fierce beast, it seems that it is still a mutant species, and that strong sense of oppression has almost reached the peak level of the Qi Source Realm.
"This is the first level, is a source beast fighting against me?"
Xiao Jin said that the stronger the talent and potential of the challenger, the greater the chance that the gatekeeper will appear as a source beast, and the difficulty of passing the level will also increase exponentially.
Dong Tu Nan also thought that the opponent was a source beast, but he didn't expect that this was only the first level, so he conjured up a source beast, and it didn't seem to be an idle person.
Nine floors of pavilions, nine gatekeepers, one layer is stronger than one floor.
Obviously, Dong Tunan's next opponent will be stronger and stronger, and this fierce source beast is only the first level.
"I am the first-tier gatekeeper, Xishan Biao!"
In the middle of the martial arts training ground, the towering source beast opened its huge mouth and roared.
