"If you work harder, you can succeed in no time!"

In the valley, Zhou Mingde attacked the stone wall at the bottom of the pit below, and at the same time loudly beckoned everyone to strengthen the attack.

At this time, they had been attacking for more than an hour, and the layer of yellow aura above the stone wall below was only a thin layer.

And the earth armor dragon had already appeared before, and they were easily repulsed.

Now the only obstacle that prevents them from entering the cave is the stone wall.

After hearing Zhou Mingde's words at this time, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang also looked excited and slightly increased their attacks.

After continuing to attack like this for almost a quarter of an hour, the yellow aura on the stone wall finally completely dissipated, and everyone's attack finally fell on the stone wall.

Bang!

With a loud roar, the stone wall below the pit was instantly blasted out of a large hole.

"What a mausoleum!"

On the ground, looking at the other sandwich stone wall exposed behind the stone wall, Zhou Mingde also stared at it, revealing a look of surprise.

There is no doubt that a real cave mansion cannot build its defenses in such a layered way.

Only the mausoleums of high-ranking monks will take great pains to construct multiple protections to prevent people from disturbing their sleep.

"Since it is a mausoleum, there should be a tomb door, and now that the tomb road has appeared, let's look for the location of the tomb door and enter through the main gate!"

Shen Borong stared at the exposed tomb below, and said his opinion in a deep voice.

He also has a point in saying that.

Because when the high-ranking monks built the mausoleum, in order to prevent the mausoleum from being violently destroyed, they would arrange some self-destruction methods.

If someone violently destroys the entire structure of the mausoleum and penetrates deep into the tomb where the coffin is located, the self-destruction method will be triggered, and the relics left behind will be destroyed and destroyed along with the corpses.

At the same time, in order to prevent people from violently destroying their tombs, tomb owners often build a direct passage to the main tomb and set up various tests.

As long as someone can pass the test, they can go straight to the main tomb chamber and take the relics left behind by the tomb owner.

In this way, after obtaining all the relics of the tomb owner, it can be regarded as having a cause and effect with the tomb owner.

Therefore, as long as the monk is of normal conduct, he will not damage the remains of the tomb owner and will not damage the mausoleum.

At this time, after listening to Shen Borong's words, Zhou Mingde groaned slightly, then nodded lightly and said: "You can try to find it, if there is really a main entrance, you can indeed try to enter through the main entrance." ”

"The concubine thinks the same way."

Ruan Hongxiang also nodded.

So after the three of them blessed themselves with protection, they instructed Zhou Chun and the other three juniors to preside over the formation on the ground, and they jumped into the bottom of the pit and explored along the tomb.

The dark tomb passage is quite spacious, with a distance of three or four feet on both sides, and there is a smell of decay in it.

For the sake of prudence, Zhou Mingde and the three of them all urged their mana to isolate the outside breath from contact with their bodies, and walked slowly forward to explore.

After walking along the tomb road for more than 300 zhang, the three of them arrived at an underground cave hall.

The underground cave hall is semicircular, with a radius of about ten zhang, leaning against the wall of the side of the mausoleum, there are two closed stone doors, and there are two strange stone beasts with tiger bodies and cow beasts in front of the door.

Obviously, this is the main entrance of the mausoleum that Zhou Mingde and they are looking for.

"How do I open this door? It seems that the owner of the tomb has left no revelations! ”

After Shen Borong released his divine sense and scanned the cave hall several times, he said the doubts in his heart with a suspicious face.

"Isn't it the best explanation that there is no obvious revelation?"

Zhou Mingde glanced at him, and said in a surging voice: "I'm afraid that the test of this first level is to test whether we have the strength to break this gate!" ”

"Is that so?"

Shen Borong frowned, as if he didn't believe it.

But Zhou Mingde had already sacrificed his flying sword at this time and slashed towards the stone gate.

Sure enough, as soon as the flying sword reached the door, a yellow misty light curtain suddenly appeared and blocked it.

At the same time, the two stone beasts in front of the door were also like sleeping lions that had been awakened, and their eyes were unexpectedly full of aura, as if they had been given life.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Mingde and the three of them were all in good spirits, and they cheered up and prepared one after another.

Soon, the two stone beasts were fully in shape and launched an attack on the three of them.

I saw that the earthy yellow aura in the mouth of the stone beast on the left converged, and soon turned into a pillar of light and blasted towards Shen Borong.

The stone beast on the right was on fire, and two rays of fiery red light shot out towards Zhou Mingde and Ruan Hongxiang.

The three of them also had the heart to test the strength of this stone beast, and they all chose to make a hard connection in the face of the stone beast's attack.

As a result, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the attack strength of the stone beast is not weak, it has completely reached the third-order level, but it is at most comparable to the mid-stage cultivator of the Purple Mansion.

And this kind of rigid attack, it is impossible for the three of them to be unable to block it.

After finding out the details of the stone beasts in this way, the three people and one demon began to attack the two stone beasts first.

However, what the three of them didn't expect was that the two stone beasts could also enjoy the protection of the protective light curtain at the mausoleum gate, and their attacks were all blocked by the light curtain.

In this way, it is equivalent to the three of them having to resist the attack of the stone beast to break the yellow light curtain.

Seeing this situation, the three of them decisively withdrew from the cave hall first.

And as if someone was in control, after the three of them exited the cave hall, the two stone beasts returned to silence and did not attack the three of them again.

"What to do? Do you want to continue to enter through the main entrance? ”

Inside the tomb, Shen Borong frowned and looked at Ruan Hongxiang, and asked Zhou Mingde in a low voice.

Zhou Mingde naturally understood what he meant.

Ruan Hongxiang is injured after all, if she continues to enter through the main gate and breaks the door against the attack of the stone beast, I am afraid that she may not be able to hold out until the moment of breaking the door.

But if you don't enter through the main entrance, you have to take the risk of self-destruction of the mausoleum.

Zhou Mingde couldn't help frowning for a while.

At this moment, Ruan Hongxiang took the initiative to speak out.

"The two Daoists don't have to worry about the concubine, although the concubine is injured, but if you concentrate on resisting the attacks of the two stone beasts, you can still deal with it, but attacking the tomb gate requires a lot of effort from the two Daoists."

When she said this, she also said in a calm tone: "Of course, the concubine body has less effort here, if there is no more effort in the back, when the things are divided in the end, the concubine body will also take one less share, and the two Taoist friends will not suffer." ”

Hearing her words, Zhou Mingde's eyes flashed, and he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Since Ruan Daoyou has no problem, let's do what Daoyou said." ”

Before he knew it, he had become the de facto leader of the team, the one who gave orders.

So after resting outside, the three of them re-entered the cave hall and attacked the stone gate against the attack of the two stone beasts.

And just when the three of them and one wolf were concentrating on attacking Shimen, the earth armor dragon suddenly came out and attacked the three of them.

This earthy armor dragon is like an annoying fly, which cannot be beaten and killed, but often jumps out to disgust people.

Under its attack, the speed of Zhou Mingde's three people breaking the door was greatly reduced, and they even had to use rare third-order magic talismans to save the scene.

After stumbling like this, more than three hours passed, and the three of them managed to break through the layer of protection and destroy the two stone beasts.

Peng!

Just after the two stone beasts were destroyed, the closed stone door automatically opened backwards with a roar.

At this time, the three of them looked up, and saw that behind the stone gate was indeed a spacious corridor, and I don't know where it leads, it may be the main tomb.

Compared with the tomb road that the three of them had walked before, this road was a little narrow, and the width was even less than two zhang.

However, unlike the tomb road, there are many murals on the stone walls on both sides of the road, which seem to record the life deeds of the tomb owner.

"There is the power to suppress the divine consciousness inside, and my divine consciousness can only penetrate more than ten zhang inside!"

Zhou Mingde looked at the corridor behind the gate and whispered about his own situation.

Hearing his words, Shen Borong quickly said: "Shen is better, but he can only go twenty zhang deeper." ”

Seeing this, Ruan Hongxiang also said: "The concubine is the same as Zhou Daoyou, and she can only be released for more than a dozen zhang. ”

"Is it a formation to suppress the divine sense? Or some other means! ”

Zhou Mingde muttered in his mouth, and he couldn't confirm the reason for this kind of thing.

When Shen Borong heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said with some uncertainty: "It's probably a formation, if it's other means, then it's a big deal!" ”

Zhou Mingde listened to his words, just nodded slightly, and then asked, "Then which of us will go in first?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang were silent and did not answer.

There is no doubt that the monks who enter the Yongdao first will definitely encounter the test laid by the owner of the tomb inside.

And now no one knows what that test will be or how dangerous it will be.

Naturally, no one wants to take the initiative to explore the way.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde immediately said: "In this way, whoever takes the lead in first will be counted as having an extra force, and when the things are divided later, you can take an extra share!" ”

"This ......"

Shen Borong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to object.

But Ruan Hongxiang, who was on the side, interrupted loudly at this time: "The concubine has no opinion, and she is willing to let the two Taoist friends go first." ”

In this way, there is no need to say Shen Borong's unfinished words.

Zhou Mingde also looked at him and said, "Then Shen Daoyou wants to take this credit?" ”

"Since it was Zhou Daoyou's proposal, Shen won't fight with Daoyou about this."

Shen Borong's face changed for a while, and he quickly shook his head and refused to be the first to take the lead.

Zhou Mingde heard what he said, and immediately smiled and said: "Since Shen Daoyou is so modest, then Zhou will not be polite to Daoyou!" ”

Although he decided to explore the path first, Zhou Mingde did not act immediately, but first took Hui Yuan Dan outside to recover his mana.

When he restored his mana, he blessed the Fire God Jackal with the secret technique of "Beast Spirit Battle Armor", allowing him to explore his way forward.

One, two, three......

The Vulcan Jackal walked cautiously and slowly in the corridor, and soon penetrated more than ten zhang into it.

Outside the corridor, Zhou Mingde and the three of them were all staring nervously at the back of the fire god jackal.

After going deep into the tunnel for thirty feet, the Vulcan Jackal finally encountered an attack.

At that moment, a rich yellow light suddenly appeared on the stone walls of the upper and lower left and right sides where the Vulcan jackal was, and soon a cage formed to imprison it in place.

Immediately after that, a roar sounded from the depths of the corridor, and a golden flying sword broke through the air and shot towards the fire god jackal.

Whew!

At the critical moment, the fire god jackal let out a roar of filial piety, and directly spit out the inner pill that he had worked so hard to condense.

The fiery red Neidan blurted out, colliding with the flying sword that flew from the stab.

Immediately, the flying sword was knocked out by Nedan and fell to the ground with all his strength.

And where Nedan collided with the flying sword, there was also a slight gap, as if he had been bitten by something.

When Neidan returned to the body of the Fire God Jackal, the Fire God Jackal also whimpered, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with red beast blood.

Neidan is a life-related thing of the demon beast, and the damage of the inner dan will also be transmitted to the body of the demon beast, causing internal injuries to it.

The Vulcan Jackal was damaged this time, and after returning home, he didn't have ten years of recuperation, and he didn't want to recover.

When Zhou Mingde saw this scene, he was also distressed.

The master and servant have been together for almost two hundred years, and the relationship between him and the fire god jackal can be said to be like a brother.

At the beginning, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan were highly poisonous in the body of the Fire God Jackal because of their calculations against Master Jiang, and he almost got angry with Zhou Chun, the junior he valued deeply at the time, which shows the importance of the Fire God Jackal in his heart.

At this time, when he saw that the Vulcan Jackal was injured, he was even more guilty and regretted in his heart, regretting that he should not have taken on this pathfinding mission.

Immediately, he hurriedly rushed into the corridor and sacrificed his magic weapon to attack the cage that trapped the fire god jackal.

Compared with Zhou Mingde, who was heartbroken and regretful, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang saw that the Vulcan Jackal was injured, but a flash of joy flashed in their eyes.

As a third-order mid-grade demon beast, the strength of the Fire God Jackal is undoubtedly stronger than that of Zhou Mingde, the master.

Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang have always been very jealous of this demon beast in their hearts, so they can only tolerate Zhou Mingde's tough posture repeatedly.

But now the injury of the Vulcan Jackal has given the two of them hope to balance the forces of both sides.

If the injured Fire God Jackal could no longer compete with Shen Borong, a mid-stage Purple Mansion monk, then Zhou Mingde naturally did not have the strength to suppress the two of them anymore.

It's just that I'm happy in my heart, and I still have to do superficial work.

Looking at Zhou Mingde, who was still struggling to rescue his pet in Yongdao, Shen Borong quickly shouted: "Zhou Daoyou, let's help you." ”

After speaking, he also followed into the corridor to help.

In this way, with the help of Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang, Zhou Mingde quickly broke the yellow light cage and rescued the Vulcan Jackal.

However, although the Vulcan Jackal was rescued, the task of exploring the path was not yet done.

After Zhou Mingde fed the fire god jackal with a healing pill, he looked at the dark road in front of him, and then looked back at Shen and Ruan, who had calm faces, and could only grit his teeth and go up himself.
