Chapter 105: Mood
It was getting dark, Li Shenzhou took Lu Xiaoman and Xiaoxiao to find a sheltered place to raise a bonfire and burn food, and Sikong Xing'er, who had contacted them early in the morning, finally arrived here.
"How dare you make a fire here?!It's easy to attract demon beasts at night!" Sikong Xing'er frowned and said without waiting to stop.
Li Shenzhou glanced at her lightly and said curiously, "Why did you come so slowly?"
Sikong Xing'er couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that he had turned a deaf ear to his advice, but after thinking about it, with the current strength of the four of them, there was no need to worry too much about the periphery of the Southern District.
"On the way, I encountered a group of sand wolves on the first floor of the Ning Yuan Realm, and it took a lot of time to kill them, but I found a large piece of earth spirit crystal on the way!" Sikong Xing'er said as he took out a piece of earthy yellow translucent jade the size of a basketball from his storage bag and showed it off to Li Shenzhou.
Feeling the energy fluctuations on it, Li Shenzhou couldn't help but be a little surprised, he naturally knew that only a spirit stone that surpassed the top grade could be called a spirit crystal, and such a large piece of contribution points alone was worth tens of thousands.
It's a pity that the attributes don't match, whether it is Lu Xiaoman or Xiaoxiao's cultivation techniques, they are not earth attributes, otherwise Li Shenzhou thinks that he will find a way to get it, such a big piece is enough for Xiaoxiao to break through the third layer of the Ning Yuan Realm!
"You're lucky!" Li Shenzhou shook his head and said, which couldn't help but make Sikong Xing'er even more proud.
After eating together, the four of them went straight on the road, after all, the time is limited and only one month, which is really not to be wasted, and the dark has basically no effect on such a strong person as them.
Although the route to the center has been formed after thousands of years and hundreds of explorations, it is still inevitable to encounter many obstacles along the way, but with the strength of the four people, neither the formation nor the trap can affect the speed of their travel.
"Is this a puppet?" asked Li Shenzhou curiously as he looked at the silver metal man who had just been shattered by Sikong Xing'er's ability source and fell to the ground.
Sikong Xing'er nodded and said: "Yes, the previous dynasty's production of puppets can be said to be the best in the world! This kind of silver puppet is not the strongest, and there is a golden puppet equivalent to the Mortal Realm on top of this!"
After a pause, Sikong Xing'er said with some pity: "Although this puppet is not as flexible as a real martial artist, its powerful defense is difficult to break through even with a master, and this is also one of the hole cards of the previous dynasty that dared to provoke the ten major sects, but unfortunately its manufacturing method can only be known by the core royal family children, and there is also a soul prohibition that cannot be leaked, and it has been lost when the previous dynasty perished!"
"Can't you catch it and study it?" Li Shenzhou frowned.
Sikong Xing'er said: "These puppets will explode once they are captured, and even if they are killed, the formation runes in their bodies will dissipate into a pile of scrap metal. Moreover, the remains of the puppets in this secret realm cannot be put into storage bags at all, let alone taken out, and can only be recovered by the core palace after the trial is over!"
Li Shenzhou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said, "So there is a way to make puppets in the core palace?"
Sikong Xing'er was stunned for a moment and then sneered: "Yes, there is this kind of puppet production method in that core palace, but no one has been able to enter that palace for more than 4,000 years, you still don't want to be delusional, the more you go inside, the more dangerous it is, you don't want to be greedy and affect Xiaoman and Xiaoxiao!"
Li Shenzhou just smiled casually when he heard this, although the four thousand years of exploration of the ten major sects had not been able to reach the core area, it was because the level of the blood essence stone restricted the cultivation to enter.
But Li Shenzhou has no such concerns, as long as it is worth it, Li Shenzhou can even be directly promoted to the level of the fairyland, and then even the large array of this trial space will not be able to help him.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, even if there is a map, everyone has encountered a lot of dangers, for example, the demon beast of the ninth layer of the Ning Yuan Realm that they just encountered, if it wasn't for Lu Xiaoman's early discovery, it would be really dangerous if a few people collided with it, and they had to use the last hole card, but only half of the time had passed.
However, there are a lot of gains along the way, in addition to the treasures that were put into the core palace as a reward, the heavenly treasures born due to the good concentration of space aura have also been found, although the individual value is not too high, but there is almost a contribution point of about 100,000 in total. And after Li Shenzhou thought about it, he still used other things to change the earth spirit crystal that Sikong Xing'er had arrived at the beginning, compared to those weapons and secret treasures that could not be used at all, at least this earth spirit crystal still had some effect.
Along the way, Li Shenzhou and Sikong Xing'er also discovered a strange thing, that is, they hardly met any other people.
In the past half a month, Li Shenzhou and his entourage have encountered a total of two groups of people, one group is three people from Qingyun Sect, and the other group is a disciple of Mingjian Mountain, as for the people of the first-class sect with the largest proportion, they have not encountered a single one.
"Could it be that all these people have gone to the Eastern District?" Sikong Xing'er was a little puzzled, but the history of the first-class sect is definitely not as long as the ten major sects, many of them are only a few hundred years old, and there is no such detailed map, so it is also said that going to the Eastern District, which is the least difficult.
But Sikong Xing'er always felt a little uneasy in his heart for some reason, and wanted to discuss with someone, but Lu Xiaoman and Xiaoxiao didn't understand it at all, and Li Shenzhou obviously didn't want to pay attention to these things.
If someone looks at the overall situation from a high altitude, they will find that there are indeed many more martial artists in the Eastern Region than in the Southern District, but there are only thirty or forty people, and most of the personnel are scattered, among which Feng Hao and Lu Feng from the fourth layer of the Ning Yuan Realm are also among them, while heading towards the center while searching for Lu Xiaoman's traces.
And the real largest number of people is the West District, and more than fifty masters are all gathered together, and the speed of travel is also the fastest, almost almost reaching the core palace!
"Brother Zhou, how long will it take for us to reach the palace?" Gu Qianqian, who was at the front of the team, asked curiously.
Zhou Ce calculated in his heart and said, "According to this progress, as long as you can carefully avoid those demon beasts all the way, you will probably be able to reach the central area in three days!"
"Thanks to Brother Zhou leading the way, we were able to go all the way through the teleportation array to get here, otherwise even if so many of us were together, we would definitely suffer heavy losses if we could get here!" Gu Qianqian said excitedly, and Zhou Ce was even more proud when he looked at him with his adoring gaze.
"Allure, don't worry, with me, I will definitely be able to help you open the treasure house this time! I am willing to do anything for you!" Zhou Ce said affectionately.
Gu Qianqian was shy and moved when she heard this, her beautiful face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head gently. But a trace of unnoticed disdain flashed in her eyes.
Then he sighed slightly in his heart, and regained Gujing Bubo's state of mind.
