Chapter 112: Ancient Ruins (2)
Qin Rui took Yang Xiaosu's hand and followed, Lan Chi took a small step back, signaling Qin Feng to go first, and he followed closely, followed by Qin Ming, and Yu Cheng followed behind.
Along the gray stone path, everyone walked cautiously all the way for thousands of meters, the grass on the side of the road gradually disappeared, occasionally saw a few tall trees, the leaves did not have the meaning of green exhibition, and the trunk still left an unknown number of autumn and winter accumulated killing intentions.
"Why can't you even see the shadow of a demon beast? ”
Ji Yue scratched his head uneasily, "Could it be that there are no demon beasts here at all?"
"Well, it's true, this place is really quiet and unsteady......" Qin Ming looked up at the gray stone walls on both sides as he walked, his eyes full of doubts.
Yu Cheng stopped and said, "Quiet, hehe, it's about to move, I don't believe you." Following what Yu Cheng pointed out, everyone could see, there was still silence on the stone wall not far away, and there was no movement.
But in the next moment, a huge stone rolled down from the stone wall and smashed on the road ahead. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of large and small stones fell one after another, blocking the road ahead in the incessant "boom" sound.
Everyone looked at this strange scene and was very surprised--"It's so strange, there was no earthquake here, how could these stones fall together?"
"Hmph, because these are not stones at all, but demon beasts, so naturally they will fall if they want to. Qin Rui walked past Ji Yue to the front, with a faint smile on his face, "It's just that they are too self-conscious." ”
As soon as Qin Rui's words fell, those stones that were blocked on the road ahead suddenly stretched out, the large ones were the body, and the small pieces were hands and feet, which were very similar to the human form, but there were no facial features on the head, only a pair of red eyes exuding a strange light.
"Bluestone Monsters! When they are adults, they can reach the early stage of the Earth Immortals, they are usually separated from their bodies, they are good at camouflage, and they like to live in groups!" Yang Xiaosu exclaimed, recognizing these stone monsters.
"It might be a little threatening to sneak up on us while we're passing through, but unfortunately they've been detected by my soul power, and they're doomed to fail. With his hand raised, the Heavenly Sword Emperor was in his hand, and Qin Rui stopped everyone who wanted to do it, "It's just the Earth Immortal level, and the road is so narrow, it's enough for me alone." ”
One person wants to fight dozens of demon beasts of the same level, it seems that Qin Rui is talking wildly, but when everyone heard "the road is so narrow", they immediately knew in their hearts, although there are a lot of bluestone monsters, but the narrow road can only accommodate three sides at most, Qin Rui is fully capable of killing them one by one, so he is happy to watch the battle.
"Bluff!" Being despised by Qin Rui, the bluestone monster was obviously angry, and rushed over with a roar.
Looking indifferently at the bluestone monster rushing up, Qin Rui swung out the Sword Emperor, the pale yellow flames amazed the gray monotony around him, and he slapped towards the bluestone monster rushing to the front with great agility.
With a dull loud noise, the bluestone monster that rushed to the front didn't even touch the corners of Qin Rui's clothes fluttering in the wind, so it was slapped into a kite, and flew upside down miserably, overwhelming the bluestone monster behind him, and shattering into stones of different sizes.
The dozens of bluestone monsters who were clamoring to charge suddenly fell silent, their eyes subconsciously looking at their fallen companions in front of them, and they were shocked by Qin Rui's thunderous blow and froze in place.
"Death to those who stand in the way!"
With a soft shout, the Sword Emperor waved wantonly with Qin Rui's dashing footsteps, and a heavy figure flew up after each sword.
The shadow of the sword swept, and a stone monster flew sideways and crashed into the stone wall embedded in it, and the sword body pierced and a stone monster shattered to the ground immediately...... For a while, the sound of miserable howls continued, and then there was a deathly silence, and dozens of bluestone monsters were all wiped out.
Yang Xiaosu's eyes kept widening, and it wasn't until this moment that he came to his senses and said, "Brother Rui, your combat power seems to be one step stronger1"
Qin Rui blushed embarrassedly, and said modestly: "I'm just occupying the favorable terrain, it's not a big deal!"
Qin Ming laughed and said, "Brother and sister, you can see the combat power of the third brother now, I told you that he is simply a monster, not a human!" His words were actually the truth, he was 100% assured that although he was now an Earth Immortal Quadruple, he was definitely not Qin Rui's opponent.
"Hmph, you're not human!" Yang Xiaosu pouted proudly, walked over and grabbed Qin Rui's arm, and asked, "Who is responsible for picking up the beast core?"
Qin Rui and everyone were confused for a while by Yang Xiaosu's words, isn't it the same who picks up the beast core?
Yang Xiaosu suddenly realized that he was asking too stupidly, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "What are you all laughing at, I have never picked up a beast core......
Everyone laughed, and Qin Rui also asked with a smile: "Then why didn't you pick up the beast core of the snow qilin before?"
"Your hands and feet were so fast at the time, how could I rob you again!" Yang Xiaosu pouted and complained in a low voice.
Qin Rui laughed: "Hahaha! Okay, you will pick up all the beast cores in the future." After Yang Xiaosu happily picked up dozens of beast cores, everyone continued to move forward.
I don't know how long I walked, but the gray stone road gradually widened, and the scorching sun in the east was already hanging in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the stone wall, adding some light to this gray space.
"This stone road is really long!"
Everyone stood at the exit of the canyon and looked ahead, frowning slightly between their eyebrows, showing in front of everyone was an extremely wide gray stone lawn, with horizontal and vertical lines in between, I don't know who carved it, and I don't know what meaning it has.
In the place where the gray stone flat was closest to everyone—it was said to be the closest, but it was actually beyond the detection range of Qin Rui's soul power—there was a large pile of stones of similar size, and further behind this pile of stones, there were one or several huge stones at a certain distance.
"Could it be that they are all bluestone monsters?" Ji Yue turned his head and asked Qin Rui.
"I don't know, the soul power of Brother Yucheng and I can't detect it. But the pile of stones in front of me is very close to the bluestone monster we killed before. Qin Rui replied uncertainly.
"Maybe these boulders in the future will be even more powerful monsters." Qin Ming squeezed to the front, touched his head and frowned, and said, "But even if you ignore the ones in the back, there are a lot of bluestone monsters in front alone!"
"Well, at least a hundred of them. Yang Xiaosu said.
Qin Rui shook his head lightly and said, "Although there are many bluestone monsters, they are not to be feared, what I am worried about is the boulders behind that are not sure whether they are demon beasts or not. ”
In the face of nearly a hundred earth immortal and heavenly immortal-level demon beasts, only a strong team like Qin Rui and them could say "not to be afraid".
After a slight sigh, Qin Rui regained his composure, patted Qin Ming's shoulder and said to everyone: "Big brother, anyway, we have no way out, but there is nothing to worry about." ”
"Haha, that's right, what the third brother said is yes!" Inspired by Qin Rui's words, everyone was about to stride into the gray stone floor.
An angry roar sounded from the gray stone floor, and then a gray light enveloped the entire gray stone floor, and the pile of stones in front of them stood up one after another, it was the bluestone monster, and a pair of blood-colored eyes looked coldly at Qin Rui and the others standing outside the gray stone floor.
Immediately afterwards, behind the bluestone monster, in the middle of the gray stone flat, two boulders stood up, the shape was similar to the bluestone monster, but there was a raised hollow cylinder on the chest of the boulder, and there was red energy similar to water patterns in it, and the breath of the peak of the earth immortal overflowed indifferently.
"What kind of monster is this?"
In the surprised eyes of everyone, in the last row of the gray stone flat, two boulders also slowly stood up, turning into two stone monsters with giant stone swords at their waists, which were also the aura fluctuations of the peak of the earth immortals.
Just beside the giant stone monster, two more giant stones were transformed into two stone horses covered in stone armor, the armor seemed to be baptized by wind and frost, very broken, but there was a powerful aura flowing, comparable to the breath of the sword-carrying troll.
The bluestone monster, the chest cylindrical stone monster, the sword-carrying troll, and the stone horse, these unheard of monsters made Qin Rui and everyone look at each other, and they were extremely shocked.
"Don't look at me, except for the bluestone monster, there is no demon beast I have heard of!" Facing the inquiring eyes of everyone, Qin Rui spread his hands helplessly.
"I have a feeling that except for the bluestone monster, the rest are not monsters, but more like puppets. Qin Rui, whose eyes fell on the distance, spoke, "And this scene makes me feel familiar, but I can't remember it for a while." ”
"Demon puppets?" Only then did everyone notice that the stone monsters all had dull eyes, and believed Qin Rui's analysis, "What about the person who controls the puppets? Could it be that the owner of this place is still alive?"
This is too scary, the cultivators who survived the ancient times, just thinking about it can make people's hearts powerless.
"If there were still living people here, they would never be hiding here in such a low-key way, so there could be no living people in this ruin. Qin Rui frowned lightly and said, continuing to search for that inexplicable familiarity in his mind.
"No one is manipulating?" Qin Ming was puzzled, "You see that the position between those puppets and the bluestone monster has a faint echo, and after they appear, they remain motionless and wait for them to change, this calmness is definitely not something that the ownerless puppets can have." ”
"I think that's the secret of the gray stone floor. With the acumen of his soul power, Qin Rui could perceive farther than everyone else, and he pointed to the criss-crossing lines in front of him and said, "You see, after the gray light is lit up, the color of those lines is a few points darker, and there is faint energy flowing. I guess powering up the puppets and connecting with each other is what Grey Stone is all about. ”
"It's amazing! The ancient era was indeed an awe-inspiring era, and those cultivators who stood at the top of the ladder were really extraordinary!"
Everyone couldn't help but admire, and then worried, "Then what should we do now?" A few Earth Immortal Peak Demon Puppets are not afraid, but they are worried about whether they will have combined fighting skills like Snow Qilin. ”
