Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mysterious Tablet
"If we didn't care about you, we wouldn't have stepped forward to stop Huang Kai for you just now, don't talk nonsense, Huang Kai has fled, and the news here will be exposed soon, so take down the platform before the people from the Iron Sword Gate arrive."
Shaking his head with a smile, Jiang Cheng no longer paid attention to Tu Feng, and stabbed towards the bottom of the platform with a sword, a spark slid out along the root of the platform, and under Jiang Cheng's precise sword blade control and Lei Zhi's sharp blessing, the root of the seat that was as hard as cold iron was quickly cut a few inches.
According to Jiang Cheng's estimate, the leaking part of the pedestal is probably not even one-third of the whole, although I don't know how long it will take to form such a precious pedestal in this place where spiritual power is thin, but the treasure of heaven and earth has always been obtained by those who are destined, and I can't care about what it is at the moment, I can only try to take the pedestal completely to play the maximum residual role, so as not to live up to the strange creation of this heaven and earth.
Needless to say, Jiang Cheng's means naturally did not need to be said, in less than a moment, this five-foot-high, more than ten inches-thick pedestal was neatly divided by Jiang Cheng with some buried parts underground, and the moment the pedestal was taken down, the spiritual power smoke in the groove on the pedestal was also quickly depleted and dissipated, leaving only a faint trace of spiritual power still slowly condensed along the strange pattern.
However, even if there is only a trace of pattern, the speed of its condensation of spiritual power can at least increase the cultivation efficiency of the cultivator, and the value of such an earth spirit pedestal that can be used for a long time can definitely be comparable to most mid-grade spiritual weapons of the ground level.
"Woohoo~! As long as you go back and take out the Demon Pill of the Wind Demon Wolf to deal with that waste, this Earth Spirit Platform is almost the Young Master's! ”
Fearing that Jiang Cheng would repent, Tu Feng was even immune to the poisonous effect of the paralyzing spirit poisonous smoke, and quickly put the hundreds of pounds of pedestal into the space scroll.
"You kid, I'm afraid you won't be so active when you go back to marry your daughter-in-law."
was also amused by this kid's cunning behavior, Ji Xuan'er couldn't help but cover her mouth again and laugh lightly, and Jiang Cheng also showed a helpless smile and said: "Now that the platform has been taken, the treasures of this crypt ......, hiss~!" Wrong! ”
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng's tone suddenly became serious, and the originally joyful atmosphere instantly became tense.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng's face suddenly sank, Ji Xuan'er also opened her mouth for the first time and asked, "Senior Brother Jiang, but who did you sense again?" ”
Shaking his head, Jiang Cheng only took a few steps forward, and then pointed to the paralyzing spirit poisonous smoke in front of him, which had dissipated two percent, and said, "You two look at the poisonous smoke, have you ever seen anything wrong?" ”
Seeing Jiang Cheng showing such a serious look, Tu Feng also came to Jiang Cheng's side with his sword, looked at the paralyzing spirit poisonous smoke that had dissipated, and said disapprovingly: "This crypt is very old, and it has been quenched by the spirit milk of the earth for a hundred years, and it is natural to have some ability to absorb filth and poison, whether it is the beast smell of the wind demon wolf or the paralyzing spirit poisonous smoke, it is strange if it can be left." ”
Also carefully observing the fast-absorbing paralyzing spirit poisonous smoke, Ji Xuan'er also showed a hint of puzzlement: "Xuan'er is stupid, if there is anything wrong, Senior Brother still hopes that Senior Brother will make it clear." ”
After all, everyone still lacked experience, and seeing that the two of them didn't find anything abnormal, Jiang Cheng just smiled slightly and slowly came to the westernmost side of the crypt, and then suddenly stabbed his sword towards the stone wall on the west side.
Bite~!
Needless to say, the sharpness of the spiritual weapon on the human level is naturally needless to say, although cutting this kind of rock wall for endless years cannot be said to be the same as cutting tofu, but with Jiang Cheng's physical strength, it is not difficult to cut it casually, but at the moment, Jiang Cheng's piece fell on the rock wall in front of him, but there was a sound of gold and iron colliding.
"Sure enough!"
With excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed, Jiang Cheng turned his head and explained to the puzzled two: "Just now I looked at the crypt, all the rocks are absorbing the poison spread by the paralyzing spirit poisonous smoke, but there is no reaction here, and there is even a faint rejection of the paralyzing spirit poisonous smoke. ”
"That's true!"
After hearing Jiang Cheng's explanation, Ji Xuan'er also immediately noticed something unusual.
Although the area in this crypt is not small, the diffusion speed of the paralyzing spirit poisonous smoke is extremely fast, and when Jiang Cheng takes away the earth spirit pedestal, it is enough to spread throughout the crypt, and at the moment, it is indeed only the rock in front of him that does not have any abnormal movement.
"It doesn't matter what his situation is, just open it and take a look, let me come!"
Anyway, he had already absorbed the poisonous smoke of the paralyzing spirit, and Tu Feng naturally didn't care about absorbing a little more, and turned all the spiritual power at his disposal, only to see that Tu Feng had a fierce blow, which was enough to cut off the hundred calcined steel, and the blow was actually bounced away, and even the sparks did not splash in the slightest.
"Why is this thing so hard, I'm afraid even a Gudan powerhouse can't break it easily! Anyway, the range of this piece that does not absorb poisonous smoke is not large, or we can dig it directly from the side! ”
Shocked by the seismic force of the stones, Tu Feng couldn't help but sink his eyebrows and complained, and when he was about to dig in from the side, he was stopped by Jiang Cheng reaching out.
"If you were a powerhouse who could open up such a large-scale crypt here, would you let the treasure you left behind be taken away so easily by a mere Enlightenment Realm? If there are any traps around this rock wall, I'm afraid we don't know how the three of us died. ”
Looking at the extremely hard stone in front of him, Jiang Cheng also fell into contemplation, and from the temptation just now, he also found that with the hardness of the stone in front of him, I am afraid that he can definitely break it now.
"Then what should I do, the news has leaked, and I can't tell anyone else the secret of discovering the inheritance of the strong! If the guys from the sect know about it, we're afraid that even the earth spirit milk will be scraped out. ”
Although he was the grandson of the Supreme Elder of the Benlei Pavilion, Tu Feng knew better than Jiang Cheng and the others about the greed of the Benlei Pavilion for treasures, or that half of the operation of the entire Benlei Pavilion was supported by the contribution points of Tu Feng's disciples.
Syllable!
Tu Feng's words are naturally true, there is not much time left for Jiang Cheng and the three of them, the news has leaked, and if the three of them stay here, they will be in danger of not being able to leave.
Looking at Tu Feng, who had already revealed his anxiety, Ji Xuan'er also bit lightly with silver teeth, and tried to whip towards the stone, but unfortunately the sharp attack was still ruthlessly bounced away by the hard rock wall.
"Whew~! If you really want to attract the Gudan powerhouse to accept the inheritance, presumably this powerhouse will not leave the treasure in the outermost outerpart of the Demon Beast Forest, if I expect it to be good, the method of opening this rock wall should require the monks of the Enlightenment Realm to show something! ”
The more anxious the moment, the more calm Jiang Cheng became, and after analyzing this strange crypt from beginning to end, Jiang Cheng immediately came up with a possibility that sounded a little ridiculous but was extremely reasonable.
"That's right! Xuan'er had also read in an ancient book that there were some powerful alchemists or talisman masters who would leave some strange tests to determine whether the monk's qualifications were qualified to accept the treasure! ”
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Ji Xuan'er also immediately opened her mind, and without hesitation when she spoke, she ignored the poisonous smoke of the paralyzing spirit to activate the only remaining spiritual power, and under the guidance of a series of strange technique seals, the eight runes glowing with red light from Ji Xuan'er's hands quickly condensed.
"Go!"
With Ji Xuan'er's coquettish shout, the crimson runes were also quickly arranged in a rather strange way, and then quickly attached to the rock wall.
Syllable!
Although it didn't bounce the runes like a rebound attack, the rock wall was like a bottomless pit, absorbing the runes and then spitting them out.
"Alas~! It seems that Xuan'er and the way of cultivating talismans are destined to be lost, and in the end, it depends on Senior Brother Jiang! ”
Seeing that the talisman was abnormal but had no effect, Ji Xuan'er, who was strong in cultivation, couldn't help but show a look of loss, and under the erosion of the paralyzing spirit poisonous smoke, she bent down slightly because of weakness and looked at Jiang Cheng.
"This opportunity belongs to the three of us, it is useless to force it, I will try to use my soul power to probe the stone wall, if I can't do it, I will give up before reaching the Gudan realm!"
There was a hint of determination in his eyes, to be able to open up a crypt of such a scale or even a hundred years of earth spirit milk, the inheritance of the strong of this means must be regarded as shocking, although there is a lot of reluctance, but the treasure at least needs to have a life to take, according to the current situation, if the obsession is too deep and greedy for the treasure will only make Jiang Cheng and the three die here.
Taking a deep breath and slowly closing his eyes, he didn't think about anything else, only to see Jiang Cheng approaching the rock wall in an extremely clumsy way and then guiding his perception to concentrate on the rock wall, but under Jiang Cheng's concentrated knowledge, the rock wall was still as cold and hard as ordinary stones, without the slightest special fluctuation.
Sighing slightly, just when Jiang Cheng thought that his guess was wrong and wanted to withdraw his perception and leave, suddenly this stone wall seemed to be activated, and the gray rock camouflage on the surface fell off to reveal the black true body inside.
This is a black stele about half a person high, like a bottomless abyss, just looking at the stele, Tu Feng and Ji Xuan'er can feel a strange feeling that their souls are about to be devoured, and on the stele, the three golden runes are engraved as if they are testing something, giving people a stern feeling.
Airplanes~!
The moment the black stele appeared, entrenched in the depths of Jiang Cheng's soul eyebrows, the gray light mark that had been resisting Ling Que's visit suddenly flickered as if it had been attracted by something, and under the reflection of the gray light, the soul power in Jiang Cheng's body quickly poured into the stone stele like a tide.
And with the influx of Jiang Cheng's soul power, the first scale on the stone tablet also slowly flashed with golden light, and the soul power soon lit up the runes of the first scale to the extreme, followed by a burst of golden light, and the second golden light was also slowly lit.
Although he didn't know the conditions for lighting the first scale in front of him, just from the material of the stone tablet and the abyss-like aura, Tu Feng could still know that at least with his soul, even if he squeezed it dry, he might not even be able to light up half of the scale.
"This guy! How can even soul power be so terrifying, is this still a talent that people can have?! ”
