Chapter Twenty-Eight, The Ruins of the Wicans
Encountering the cult elder was really unexpected, Luo Tian's brows furrowed slightly, how could he kneel down and salute him, but if he didn't kneel, it would be tantamount to revealing his identity.
The third-level cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm by himself, and his combat power is only close to the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, even if it is equipped with a high-level spell like the Desolate Soul Spell, it is almost impossible to defeat the cult elder of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm in front of him.
"Huh?" Seeing that Luo Tian and the three of them had strange expressions, the cult elder was already suspicious, and sighed lightly.
Yin Jiu secretly tugged at Luo Tian's sleeve, signaling Luo Tian to be soft, and he slowly bent down.
The boiling water frog was also nervous, it was not a matter for it to kneel down and salute, but if it fell into the hands of the cult elder, it would definitely be impossible to escape.
Both of them were ready to kneel and salute, but Luo Tian straightened his waist.
"Didn't you hear the elder telling you to kneel down and salute?" the cult disciples behind shouted.
Luo Tian's waist was still straight, and he had no intention of kneeling at all.
"Let you kneel, didn't you hear?" More and more cult disciples noticed Luo Tian's strange appearance, and the cult elder also squinted at his eyes, revealing an increasingly unkind look.
The scene was very embarrassing, Yin Jiu and the boiling water frog glanced at each other, and they didn't know how to solve the crisis in front of them.
But at this moment, a few cult disciples came over from the other side, looking hurried, and leaned into the ear of the cult elder and said a few words.
After hearing this, the cult elder snorted coldly and said, "Dare to break into our Ghost Bone Sect's base, I don't want to live, lead the way ahead, I'll go and crush these rats to death." ”
It seems that someone broke into the base and caused a riot, although I don't know what happened, but this interruption just alleviated the embarrassing atmosphere on Luo Tian's side.
The cult elder led the people to the front, Yin Jiu and the boiling water frog had just taken a breath, and suddenly saw the cult elder stop, turned back to Luo Tian and asked, "What is your little guy's name?"
Luo Tian, you did not shy away from answering: "The surname is Luo Mingtian." ”
"Hmph, the cultivation is so low, but there is some backbone, I remember, you will follow me in the future, take the small things to the cell first. ”
What is surprising is that it seems that because Luo Tian did not kneel down for a long time, he was valued by the cult elders.
The cult disciples in front of them left one after another, and the three of them really relaxed, and the boiling water frog kicked Luo Tian and said dissatisfiedly: "Your bird idea almost killed me!"
Luo Tian smiled and said, "Isn't it okay, stop talking nonsense, lead the way." ”
Led by the boiling water frog, the three of them continued to move towards the interior of the Mountain Ghost City, and they didn't encounter too many difficulties along the way, and the three of them quickly passed through the base of the Ghost Bone Sect.
"Out of the front gate is the interior of the city of mountain ghosts, to be precise, it should be the entrance of the ancient village of the Wu clan ten thousand years ago, I found this treasure box from the second layer of the ancient village this time. The boiling frog pointed ahead.
Luo Tian looked up and could vaguely see the ancient and secluded huge building hidden in the darkness.
"It would have been possible to build such a huge building 10,000 years ago?" Yin Jiu asked strangely.
"The Wu Clan used to be very strong, and the Wu Clan of refining the body could even fight against powerful desolate beasts, and the Wu Clan of Heart Refining has always maintained the ancient heritage of the Wu Clan, and I heard that it can control the will and even the soul of the enemy. "The boiling water frog dares to bring people to explore the city of mountains and ghosts, and it must have done enough homework in advance.
Luo Tian nodded and said: "I have also heard about this, and even when our Yunshan Kingdom first explored the City of Mountain Ghosts, we were attacked by mysterious monsters, I have read this record, and the monster encountered at that time is said to have the strength of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm or even higher." ”
The three of them walked to the front of the level, and Luo Tian cleanly knocked the guards unconscious, and then led people out of the base of the Ghost Bone Sect.
"It's easy for us to get out now, what should we do when we go back, it must have been exposed at that time. Yin Jiu asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, the city of mountain ghosts is very large, there are a total of six gates in and out, the Ghost Bone Sect controls only one of them, and your Yunshan Kingdom controls the other, when the time comes, we will enter through this gate, and after finding the treasure, we will be able to avoid the people of the Ghost Bone Sect." ”
After thinking of a way out, the three of them continued to move forward, the visibility around them was getting lower and lower, and the surroundings seemed to be shrouded in a strange black fog, and when they walked out and turned back after a hundred steps, they could no longer see the base of the Ghost Bone Sect.
Luo Tian and Yin Jiu lit torches, and the three of them walked for about a stick of incense, and finally arrived at the gate of the mountain ghost city.
A huge wooden door, the stone surrounding the gate is carved with strange patterns, and directly above the gate hangs a huge skeleton skull, and it is unknown what kind of monster's head it is.
"Why is there a big hole in this gate?" asked Luo Tian.
"This was done by the people of the Ghost Bone Sect, although the gate of the Mountain Ghost City has gone through ten thousand years, it is still very strong, I heard that it took the people of the Ghost Bone Sect three days and three nights to blast open this big hole. The boiling frog explained as he walked forward.
The three of them walked to the gate, they couldn't see anything inside, Luo Tian signaled to stop and threw the torch in his hand into it, and in the dark, the torch swirled to the ground, illuminating a certain range around it.
Nothing but the old and dilapidated buildings, the city of mountain ghosts is dangerous but also a treasure trove, and after so many years of exploration, the ground floor has long been looted.
"Once inside, keep to the left, there will be steps leading to the top, and the mechanisms on the bottom are almost all concentrated on the right. The boiling frog reminded.
The three of them climbed through the big hole and walked into the gate, and the surroundings were very quiet, except for the sound of footsteps and breathing, nothing could be heard, but this silence made people nervous.
In order to relieve the pressure, Yin Jiu took the initiative to speak: "It stands to reason that there are a total of six gates in the City of Mountain Ghosts, why did you choose this gate to come in?"
However, it was not the boiling water frog that answered but Luo Tian, Luo Tian said softly: "The six gates of the city of mountain ghosts, only three of them are known and found to be opened, one is from our Yunshan country, one is from the neighboring Tieyu country, and the other is here, to be honest, I didn't know there was this gate before I came here, the city of mountain ghosts is a place where the two countries must fight, there are patrols passing by at the entrance of the periphery all the year round, and if any private exploration team is found, it will be expelled or even chased and killed, so the boiling water frog will take risks and enter from here." ”
The three of them walked for about two hours and still didn't find the steps that the boiling water frog said, the entire mountain ghost city was bigger than Luo Tian imagined, and after being tired, the three decided to rest in the dark for a while before setting off.
After taking a sip of water, Luo Tian, who closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly heard some movement, very slightly, as if it came from the deeper darkness.
"Shhh Luo Tian asked the other two to be quiet, and he reached out to hit the acupuncture points in his ears, and the acupuncture points on the sides of the two ears were activated, and the aura continued to gather into these two acupuncture seas, and soon, the slight sound from a distance gradually amplified.
"Goo-goo...... Click......"
It sounded like some kind of crushing sound, messy, accompanied by strange footsteps.
"What do you hear?" asked the boiling frog as he leaned over.
Luo Tian's ears suddenly sounded like thunder, his face changed in pain, he turned his head and glared at the boiling water frog and said, "Be quiet, I'll do it." ”
The boiling water frog glanced at Luo Tian and asked in a smaller voice, "What did you hear?"
After Luo Tian received the credit, he asked, "Is there a desolate beast in the city of mountain ghosts?"
The boiling water frog shook his head and said: "Very few, even if there are, they are some desolate beasts that like darkness, because there are many traps left by the witch clan in the city of mountain ghosts, and I have seen the bones of desolate beasts and past explorers in many traps, which is also a forbidden place for desolate beasts." ”
"That's weird......" Luo Tian said with a frown.
"What did you hear?" Yin Jiu also asked suspiciously.
"I heard some strange footsteps, some sounds like crushing things, and grunting sounds, how to say, these sounds sounded like the movement of wild beasts crushing bones or devouring prey, so I asked you if there were any wild beasts inside the mountain ghost city. ”
As soon as Luo Tian finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the dark distance, and then a terrible shout was heard.
"Help, who's going to save me!"
