"When the ......"

Throwing a remnant sword on the ground, Cheng Lin dusted off his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

He stood at the last step of the stone steps, the cool breeze from the sea blowing through the thick mist and blowing on his face, the dappled and hazy sunlight illuminating the entire mountain peak in a dreamy color.

"Finally defeated it."

Yu Fu, who was behind him, said with a strange wooden mallet magic weapon.

He was panting from exhaustion, and beside him, the Great Swordsman sat on the ground with a pale face, a bronze sword stuck in the stone crack of the steps, making a clattering sound.

Beside it, the puppet that had been silent all along, still standing straight, and a layer of silvery light on the ground beneath its feet was rapidly dissipating.

"This is the hardest boss I've ever fought and the longest dungeon."

Cheng Lin exhaled a breath and said in a gust of mountain wind.

……

Seven days.

Seven days.

Cheng Lin really didn't expect that this staircase leading to the mountain gate was so difficult to climb.

The higher you go, the more powerful the battle spirit becomes.

From low-level to intermediate-level, the combat power of the battle spirit has also risen from the pseudo-first grade to the pseudo-second, pseudo-third, pseudo-fourth, pseudo-fifth and even pseudo-sixth.

These war spirits came from different sects during their lifetimes, and may even be enemies of each other's deaths.

However, after death, they turned into war spirits without sanity, and instead began to "hate the same enemy" and launched an attack on all intelligent beings that entered their range.

Cheng Lin and his party were relaxed at first, but the further they went, the more difficult they felt.

The attacks of these battle spirits are all at the level of spiritual power, so it is extremely troublesome.

The sword qi of the Great Sword Master should indeed belong to the attack of the elemental system, which is effective against the battle soul, but after all, it is not a targeted attack, so it is already rare for each sword to exert four or five percent of the effect.

The five-core puppet has an advantage, it has no intelligence, so almost all of the war spirit's attacks on it are missed, in other words, the puppet and the war spirit will not be injured.

But the problem is that the puppet's main means of attack is still physical attacks, at most with a little bit of the corrosive effect of the Holy Light Element, so its combat power can only exert a pitiful two or three percent.

Cheng Lin mainly relied on the spiritual storm and consumed his own aura to attack.

He couldn't absorb the aura of the Immortal Island in the deduction, but he could use the spirit stones in the initial space to restore it.

Although Spiritual Storm is only a second-grade ability, it is not weak because it happens to target soul attacks.

As for Yu Fu...... emmm

In short, Yu Fu used some strange spiritual weapons that he picked up, and he could do some damage.

It's also thanks to the fact that these war spirits have no intelligence, and have a fixed range of movement, so they won't chase them and kill them.

So in the past seven days, a few people have been grinding a little bit, grinding those hard-to-bite bones to death, and then they finally reached the top.

Let's just say that the battle spirit at the top of this step took nearly a day to grind it out.

It feels like Cheng Lin is playing a copy of a game.

He had the experience of staying up late to play dungeons, but ...... It's the first time it's been played for seven days in a row.

"In a way, not counting the acceleration time, this would be the first time I've been in a deduction for seven days."

Cheng Lin sighed, feeling emotion in his heart.

……

“boss？ Copy? ”

Yu Fu and the Great Sword Master looked at each other, not knowing the meaning of these two unfamiliar words in Cheng Lin's mouth.

However, in the past seven days, they have also become accustomed to the strange words that Cheng Lin utters from time to time.

"It's a pity that they don't really die, and after being conceived by the aura, they will reappear sooner or later." Yu Fu sat down on the steps, looked at the gap in the ground, and said.

Some of the weak battle spirits in front of the steps were either directly scattered by them, or they were beaten half to death, and then they were collected by Cheng Lin with 100,000 soul flags.

Speaking of which, this banner has also been repaired to about 50% by Yu Fu, the two-dimensional space inside is a little more complete, and the number of souls that can be stored has also increased, and it is full along the way.

As for those mid-level war spirits, they can rarely be killed and captured alive, basically before they are killed, they will flee, burrow into the ground, and never be found again.

Cheng Lin was quite puzzled when he saw this situation at first, and said in his heart that this battle spirit was not without wisdom, and he was still afraid of death......

Therefore, in the future, many war spirits were just crippled by them, and then they went underground and did not dare to come out.

And not exterminated.

"It doesn't matter, they are already seriously injured, and it is impossible to recover without a year and a half, and it will not affect us." The Great Sword Master said in a firm tone.

Cheng Lin didn't care much about this, just looked at the sky.

The clouds and mist of the entire fairy island had already re-densed a few days ago.

According to Yu Fu, this fog is part of the Great Array of Immortal Island, which can hide the island, and it will only disperse for one day a year, after which it will be enveloped again.

At this time, the clouds and mist in the air are dense, just like what I have seen at the beginning, on the day when the He immortals soared, the sea around the island has already been surrounded by white clouds and mist, which is quite a fairyland.

"Let's go, I hope the front can be smoother."

Cheng Lin retracted his gaze and said.

Yu Fu and the Great Swordsman stood up, nodded, and looked at the old and dilapidated buildings in the square with some expectation.

This is the former site of the Immortal Gate without a trace.

The group walked on this wide and huge platform, with broken stone slabs and floor tiles under their feet, and huge pits on the square, which were all wounds left by the original war.

The shattered floor was like a spider's web, and the upturned tiles were trampled on, making a clattering sound that would shatter with the slightest exertion.

There were still a lot of weeds in those pits, and there were a few small pale yellow flowers growing in the grass, and there was a barren and decadent atmosphere everywhere.

"Is this the site of the Great War hundreds of years ago?"

The Great Sword Master walked with emotion.

His eyes saw a tall building in front of him that had been cut off by a lazy waist.

Yes, even if the building has already collapsed, it can be seen that it was cut off by some powerful force in the first place.

Half of them lay on the ground, broken apart, and the rest were covered with old traces of burning fire and wind and rain.

Broken walls.

It's really a ruin.

The whole complex should have been quite spectacular, but now there is a shelf left.

When I looked at it from a distance, I thought it was beautiful, but when I got closer, I realized that it was a ruin at all.

The tall buildings have all collapsed, and there is hardly a single intact building.

In the huge square, in addition to bricks, there are wooden beams, and there are scattered tattered magic weapons and white human bones.

It looks extremely bleak.

Occasionally, as they approached, a war spirit would emerge from a crack in the ground next to the bone shelf.

At this time, Cheng Lin and the others would take a few steps back and bypass it, and then the battle spirit would automatically disperse.

"Dangchang."

Suddenly, the five-core puppet kicked something as it moved.

Cheng Lin looked over and found that it was a bronze plaque about one meter long.

[You picked up a tattered plaque]

Without further explanation, Cheng Lin squatted down to brush off the dust on the surface of the plaque and found that there were several strange symbols written on it.

Presumably the text of that era.

Yu Fu walked over, glanced at it, and read it out: "Scripture Pavilion." ”

"This is where the scrolls are kept?"

Cheng Lin's eyes lit up, and he was a little nervous, but when he walked into this tattered, cracked, and crumbling open-air building, he regrettably found that there were only scattered, rotten and broken bamboo slips on the ground.

"These are all bamboo slips that record scriptures, but unfortunately in this environment, they have long been destroyed, even if there are some complete ones, they can't be connected into sentences, and the precious methods are all dictated, so it is impossible to record them here." Yu Fu shook his head, sighed, and said.

[You have picked up a piece of worthless Scripture Pavilion]

Even the program says so......

Cheng Lin could only give up.

"There's also a plaque here, it seems to be a Danfang, and there are some scattered pills."

The great swordsman over there suddenly said.

Yu Fu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran over, and saw that the Great Sword Master was holding a few small, black, irregular pills in his hand.

There was also a broken porcelain vase on the ground, and many black pills were scattered around the porcelain vase.

"What kind of medicine?"

Cheng Lin asked curiously.

"Let me see, such a small elixir? It's rare, ordinary pills don't refine so small, and the shape is weird......"

Yu Fu walked over, sniffed with his eyes closed very professionally, pinched another grain and gently scraped off a layer with his fingernails, carefully placed it on the tip of his tongue and tasted it.

It seems to be distinguishing its categories.

Cheng Lin and the Great Sword Master both nodded when they saw it.

Xin said that he deserved to be the chief royal priest of the empire, and the pharmacist who alchemized for the emperor was professional.

Just a moment later, Yu Fu opened his eyes suddenly, and his face instantly turned black and purple.

The Great Sword Master was taken aback: "What's wrong with you?" Could it be that this elixir is poisonous? ”

Yu Fu gritted his teeth and snorted, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "This...... This is not a pill at all! ”

"What's that?"

"Rat."

Grand Swordsman: "......"

Cheng Lin: "......"

[You have picked up a worthless Dan room]

Cheng Lin retracted his gaze and completely lost his heart here.

It seems that this place is really just a useless ruin, and there are no treasures left, and if it is really a treasure, it will have been robbed back and forth in the great war, where will it be quietly left in the building?

Besides, the building has already collapsed.

……

"Let's move on." Cheng Lin proposed.

The Great Sword Master and the decrepit Yu Fu nodded.

Several people bypassed the battle spirit in the square and continued to move forward.

Passing through this ruin, you will enter the back mountain.

"The architectural rules of this mountain gate are similar to the courtyards of the mortal world, and the so-called back mountain is equivalent to the backyard of the house, which is the real resting place and the most valuable place."

Yu Fu explained.

Several people reinvigorated.

And the road to the back mountain is indeed full of human bones, magic weapons, and war spirits.

They made a careful detour and did not fight the war spirits.

It was a bit of trouble, but after all, I finally arrived at the back mountain.

The scenery of the back mountain is extremely beautiful.

and filled with clouds.

This is where Cheng Lin saw the pillar of clouds and mist in the sky before.

When the three of them came to the back mountain, they saw through the fog and saw a lake as clear as jade.

The lake is small and surrounded by mountain peaks.

There are unexpectedly few human bones here, and there are few traces of battle.

This came as a surprise to several people.

"Look! Lake Center! ”

Suddenly, the Great Sword Master shouted.

Cheng Lin and Yu Fu looked at it when they heard this, and then their hearts moved.

In the center of the lake, there is a small island in the middle of the lake, on the island, within the rich white mist, there is a round, white, huge stone, revealing an indescribable fairy aura.

"This ...... Could it be the legendary fairy stone that hides the talisman? Yu Fu exclaimed.

Cheng Lin only quietly raised his eyebrows.

【Congratulations on completing the mission (4)】

[Quest (Part 5): You have arrived at the place where the pillar of clouds has risen, and you have found the legendary stone that fell from the sky, and you have decided to activate it and have a dialogue with its inner being]
