Chapter 153: Guardian of the Underground Palace
Han Bing was fighting fiercely with the alliance army, under his fierce attack, there were already nearly a hundred corpses lying on the ground, and the consumption of spiritual power in his own body was also quite huge, just when he felt that it was difficult to continue to hold on, Su Tong's communication jade jian appeared at the right time.
"President Mu, we'll have a meeting later. Han Bing laughed, his figure disappeared immediately, and he used the Ice Escape Technique to rush towards the direction of the Imperial City. Where his body disappeared, a large number of ice needles scattered in all directions.
Mu Qingying angrily blocked the ice needles that shot at her, stepped on the void, and gasped. Although her divine sense had always been locked on Han Bing's body, her aura in this frost realm was too chaotic at this time, and she couldn't find Han Bing's whereabouts for a while, besides, she herself had already been injured.
"It's coming, it's coming. Su Tong had been paying attention to the direction of the battle, and when he saw Han Bing's figure appear, he immediately shouted happily, at this moment, the gate of the underground palace had opened a half-zhang square hole.
"Get in. Han Bing didn't procrastinate, he came to the entrance of the cave in a few flashes, jumped into the cave first, and behind him, several people also entered one after another.
As soon as Han Bing entered the underground palace, he felt a rotten aura. The dungeon on the first floor is very large, but the entire space is almost empty and desolate.
"HereβI remember here, what happened here?" Luo Yingzi muttered as she stared blankly at the empty dungeon in front of her.
Han Bing glanced at Luo Yingzi with concern, his consciousness spread, and he searched the surroundings carefully.
Cui Feng rushed over from behind, also staring blankly at the scene in front of him.
"Brother Han, the entrance to the underground palace has been closed, and it is impossible for the people of the Xiuzhen Alliance to find us. Cui Feng said.
"Here, once upon a time, it was gorgeous. Luo Yingzi sighed lightly.
"Could it be that this is the only layer in this underground palace?" Han Bing had already finished searching and asked suspiciously.
"Of course not, it's just that the mechanism of the underground palace of my Luoyou Imperial City is so mysterious, if it weren't for the leadership of insiders, outsiders would definitely not be able to find any entrance. Luo Yingzi said, and when she spoke, her eyes revealed sadness. With that, she walked towards a platform in the northeast corner. There, by all looks, is just a most ordinary stone platform.
Luo Yingzi stood still in front of the stone platform, the fingers of her right hand drew a rune in the air, and with a flick of her fingertips, the rune fell into the center of the stone platform.
"This is the entrance to the second floor, please come in. Luo Yingzi said, and then her body shook and floated into the hole. After Han Bing and the others entered, the stone platform automatically closed and returned to its previous appearance, even if someone came, it was difficult to find anything unusual.
The second floor of the dungeon, compared to the first floor, is obviously much more crowded, here, the area is about the same as the first floor, but it is full of all kinds of stone statues holding weapons. The stone statues are carved to life.
"Be careful, these statues are the guardians of the dungeon, don't touch them. Luo Yingzi reminded loudly, and even with a hint of joy in her tone, "These statues are still intact, so it should show that this place has not been broken into by outsiders." β
"Excuse me, how many floors are there in this underground palace?" Cui Feng asked curiously.
"Nine floors. This is a secret that belongs to the Luo Ying family. Luo Yingzi said.
Han Bing looked around, there was nothing else here except for more than a hundred statues, these statues were covered with dust, and there were no spiritual power fluctuations, presumably they had not been triggered for a long time, but he could feel how terrifying the lethality of these seemingly ordinary statues would be once activated. It seems that this dungeon is definitely not so easy to break into.
In a corner of the dungeon, Han Bing found a statue that had fallen to the ground, which did not look like it was vandalism, but rather the result of a long period of failure.
"What, are you interested in these guardians?" Luo Yingzi asked curiously when she saw Han Bing staring intently at the statue on the ground.
Han Bing listened to Luo Yingzi's words, nodded slightly, and put his eyes on the statue again, he already had an idea in his heart, if he could understand the control methods of these guardians, then it would be equivalent to suddenly having more than a hundred loyal allies, who could be used to guard the underground palace, and the combat effectiveness of these guardians was definitely not weak.
"These dungeon guardians, the attack ability of a single body is already equivalent to that of a mid-stage soul cultivator, if they are combined to form a formation attack, then even the unfathomable cultivators of the Two Realms will not dare to break through. Luo Yingzi's tone was full of pride. Her words just confirmed Han Bing's inner guess.
"Twin Realm Walkers, what kind of cultivation are they?" Han Bing couldn't help but ask when he heard Luo Yingzi mention this term for the second time.
Hearing Han Bing's question, Su Tong and the others also looked at Luo Yingzi expectantly, the Twin Realms Walker was too strange to them.
"I only know that they are different from our ordinary human monks, they don't seem to rely on the spiritual power of heaven and earth in their cultivation, they are very strange, but their combat power is extremely strong, as far as the Twin Realm Walkers I have seen, ordinary Avatar Stage monks are basically not their opponents, and they don't seem to be afraid of all formations and enchantments, and I don't know much about them. Luo Yingzi said.
"If they don't rely on spiritual power to cultivate, then what do they rely on to improve their strength?" Su Tong said in surprise.
"This-" Luo Yingzi fell into deep thought, "It seems that it is a mysterious energy called the Arcanon Essence, I am not sure." β
"Arcanon Essence?" Han Bing was also stunned, he had never heard of such an energy substance.
"I have a feeling that we will still fight them, although the Netherworld has been destroyed and the original people are gone, but the Twin Realms Walkers still exist here. Luo Yingzi gritted her teeth and said.
"You have a point," Han Bing nodded, "That's it, let's rest here for a while, Luo Yingzi, you have been out of the body for so long, and the essence of the Yuan Shen is consumed a lot, I'll give you a drop of blue heart essence to recover, I just have time to study these underground palace guardians, if it can really be used by me, then even if you meet the Twin Realms Walker in the future, you will be able to have the power to fight." β
The big guy listened to Han Bing's arrangement, and had no objections, and began to breathe and rest in a relatively empty area in the corner. Luo Yingzi happily took over Han Bing's blue heart and began to absorb it with all her heart. The entire second floor of the dungeon fell silent.
