Chapter 254: Bone Ghost Mist and Jade Skull
The vertical portals in front of the three sub-towers of the Triple Tower are all open for a limited time and for a very short period of time. Soon after everyone entered, the three portals vanished.
The experience of stepping through this vertical portal is very magical, just a moment or two of work seems to make people feel like they have traveled through time and space for a moment. If it weren't for this step, which would have allowed people to enter an ancient jade-white stone hall from in front of the empty jade pagoda, I was afraid that Lin Quan would have suspected that he had just passed through an ordinary portal.
He looked around, and the whole stone hall was made of unknown materials, whether it was the ground, the top, or the surrounding walls, all of which were inlaid with strange white jade, and all kinds of strange reliefs were carved on them.
The square stone hall was not large, at most three or four zhang square, and there was nothing in it except for the three of them. This hall is surrounded by walls on three sides, and only in front of it is a corridor about ten zhang long. At the end of the corridor was shrouded in a faint mist, which was completely impenetrable to the spiritual sense, but it was possible to see a rough picture with the naked eye alone, and I saw that some human shadows were faintly shaking behind the mist.
"Could it be that those shadows hidden in the mist are the bone sticks guarding the first floor?" Lin Quan's heart moved, according to the information he had seen before, the guard on the first floor of the Jade Pagoda was a ghost creature called "Jade Skull". Thinking of this, he hurriedly summoned two apes, two wolves, and four silver demon puppets to protect him.
"Yue Daoyou doesn't have to be so cautious, right, as long as we don't leave this stone hall and step into the 'Bone Ghost Mist' in front of us, those skeleton shelves won't take the initiative to attack. Lian Bingyun chuckled, feeling that Lin Quan was making a little too much of a fuss.
"This ...... Since I didn't expect to take over my second brother to come to the Qinglong Secret Realm in advance, the preparation time was too hasty, and many things that were not too important were not deliberately memorized, which made the Ice Cloud Fairy smile. Lin Quan was slightly stunned, and secretly sighed in his heart that he still knew too little about the three-storied pagoda, and inadvertently revealed a flaw.
He had only relied on the "Sky Eagle Battle Armor" and a little luck to successfully win the trust of the other six people and blend into this treasure hunting team, but he was not the real Yue Sky Eagle after all, and he was completely ignorant of many details about the three-storied pagoda. It may not hurt to make a small problem like the one or two once or twice, but the road from the first floor to the third floor of the Jade Pagoda is still very long, and if you can't come up with a more appropriate way to eliminate their suspicions now, it will inevitably cause many troubles. At that time, I am afraid that I will either be besieged by others, or I will be forced to crush the Dragon Ball by myself, and take the initiative to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Lin Quan's mind changed sharply, and he immediately did not hide his loneliness, and said very calmly the reason why he temporarily replaced Yue Tianbao into the tower, and said to Xiao Hengyu and Lian Bingyun very sincerely: "Senior Brother Xiao, Fairy Bingyun, I would like to take your head as a leader on this road, if there are still many uncertainties on the way, please ask the two of you to give me more advice, junior brother is very grateful!"
"Giggles, I see. I said how you look so smart, how do you suddenly act like a rookie as soon as you enter the tower? I don't even know about the absolute safety points that exist on each floor. Well, for your sake, for the sake of being so polite, you can ask me if there is anything you don't understand in the future. Lian Bingyunjiao laughed and accepted Lin Quan's words.
"Speaking of which, we are not outsiders, we all know about Yue Daoyou's situation, and it is normal that we can't remember the content of these trivial things, so there is no need to mention anything else. The three of us are a group and support each other, which is how it should be. Xiao Hengyu didn't care, and the polite words were quite beautiful.
However, Lin Quan noticed that before he said this, he had taken a deep look at the "Heavenly Eagle Battle Armor" with a faint aura on his body and the "Silver Demon Puppet" with extraordinary combat power. Obviously, this rough man with a rough appearance and a bold personality is not the kind of master who is easily deceived, on the contrary, his mind is very meticulous.
It's just that the "Sky Eagle Armor" and the "Silver Demon Puppet" are too deceptive to them. For thousands of years, there have been many people in the Three Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm who have coveted the Yue family's Silver Demon Puppets and Battle Armor who have used various means to forcibly capture them, but no outsider has ever been able to crack and completely control these specially refined Heavenly Eagle Battle Armor and Silver Demon Puppets in a short period of time. Therefore, no matter how much they wanted to break their heads, they would never suspect that someone could pretend to be Yue Tianying.
"So, thank you, little brother. Lin Quan arched his hand, his face full of smiles. Then he took out a shield and a sword, and volunteered: "Then let the little brother stupid bird fly first, how about trying the color of those skeletons?"
"Haha, it doesn't have to be. In addition to being proficient in the ice system exercises, the Ice Cloud Fairy is also an outstanding disciple of the 'Evil Ghost Dao', and these ghost things in front of her are not enough for her to kill alone. Xiao Hengyu waved his hand to stop Lin Quan and motioned for Lian Bingyun to step forward and open the way.
Lian Bingyun didn't shirk at all, she casually took out two cold aqua blue short swords, and walked nonchalantly towards the "Bone Ghost Mist" at the end of the corridor. Looking at her confident appearance, she really didn't take those skeletons into her eyes.
As soon as these two short swords were withdrawn, they emitted bursts of strong icy aura, and they didn't need to guess to know that they were the best ice attribute magic weapons. Lin Quan paid a little attention to it, and found that the shape of this pair of short swords was completely different from what he usually saw, its sword body was actually not straight, but bent left and right according to a specific arc, and it seemed that the entire blade part of the sword was like a small blue snake twisting its body. This made Lin Quan, who had seen such a strange magic weapon for the first time, amazed.
"Alright, we'll just hold the back and sides of the Ice Cloud Fairy later. The 'Bone Ghost Mist' here can not only eliminate the aura of the skeletons, but also greatly suppress the spiritual consciousness of our monks. At that time, we must not rely too much on spiritual probing, but we must use our own physical eyes. The three of them entered the Bone Ghost Mist in a triangular formation one after another, and Xiao Hengyu enthusiastically explained the characteristics of the Ghost Mist to Lin Quan, while holding his purple giant sword and scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
(Note: 玊, the meaning of rotten jade.) It's not a jade character. 玊SU, the fourth tone, the same sound. )
"Little brother understands!"
Lin Quan nodded, secretly holding the mountain shield in a similar way, carefully paying attention to the movements close to his side. No way, this "Bone Ghost Mist" is too annoying! It wasn't until he personally entered this area completely shrouded in ghost fog that Lin Quan could feel the power of this thing, this fog could not only affect the normal vision, but also suppress the monk's spiritual sense very obviously. He secretly compared it and found that it was even more restrained than in the giant scorpion's nest before.
In fact, there was one thing he didn't know about the characteristics of the Bone Ghost Mist. That is, in this ghost mist, except for the monks who refined the ghost path exercises, the rest of the people could not recover their spiritual power at all except taking pills. Of course, this is not Xiao Hengyu's deliberate concealment, in his opinion, this kind of important thing should be known to anyone who is a little prepared.
As Lian Bingyun approached, the three jade-white skeletons finally discovered the breath of the living. They stopped wandering unconsciously, turned around with a crisp "creak", and fixed their eyes on their prey with a pair of empty eye sockets.
It was the first time Lin Quan had seen such a strange skeleton, and he observed it with great interest.
Their form and appearance are the same as those of ordinary skeletons and ghosts, except that the bones of their bodies are not gray or white, but like jade, faintly glowing with a soft luster, as if they have been deliberately refined by some kind of clever bone-shaping secret technique. In addition, their empty eyes flashed with blood-red light, which was completely different from the "White Bone Servant Demon" that the Evil Ghost Dao cultivators had cultivated. He thought back to the books he had read and saw that none of them had ever mentioned this.
"It's a bit interesting, it seems that the rumors that Confucianism and Ghost Taoism are rivals in heaven and death are not groundless!" Thinking of this, Lin Quan couldn't help but be full of admiration for Lord Confucianism. In his opinion, the reason why Confucius took great pains to get these skeletons and ghosts and put them in the tower should be for testing the disciples of later generations.
"Crunch, squeak......"
After locking on to the prey, the three jade skeletons quickly moved their bone legs and launched a charge towards Lian Bingyun, and the bone sword held in the bone hand was even held high. Another decade has passed, and they are desperate to tear these pesky human monks apart. watering their bodies with their flesh and blood.
"Hmph, look for death!"
Lian Bingyun Yurong was cold, and with a gentle wave of his plain hands, the blue light of the two snake-shaped curved short swords flashed through two graceful arcs, stabbing towards the two skeletons in front of him.
The distance of two or three zhang can be described as an instant for a top-level magic weapon. Although the two jade skeletons all destroyed the bone knife bone sword and prepared to make a hard connection, under the control of Lian Bingyun, the snake-shaped short sword was really as slippery as a spirit snake, and it easily avoided the edge of the bone knife with one turn and one turn. Then I saw two unhindered blue rays gently wrapping around the necks of the two jade skeletons, and beheading them with a "snort".
It took less than two moments from the time Bingyun practiced the sword to the first two jade skeletons' bag brains left their necks, which made it possible to understand the weirdness and sharpness of the pair of serpentine blue swords. In addition, due to Lin Quan's strong spiritual sense, he also noticed that the moment the blue snake sword touched the neck of the jade skeleton, two inconspicuous rays of light flashed at the same time, one of which was light blue, and the other was a faintly dead black light. Immediately afterward, the two skulls touched by the blade, as well as the upper halves of the two headless bodies, were covered with a thin layer of ice.
"What a pair of domineering ice swords!" Lin Quan, who noticed this scene, couldn't help but smack his lips secretly.
However, at this time, the crisis has not been resolved, and with the cover of the two jade skeletons in front of them, the last one has already waved the bone knife and rushed in front of this woman at high speed. And it seems that this last one is obviously taller and more powerful than the first two, and at first glance it is the elite of the jade skeleton. He was now curious to know what other means Lian Bingyun had to deal with the next battle.
This elite skeleton was noticeably more experienced in combat than the previous two, and it held a large bone shield in its left hand, which was firmly in front of it as it sprinted, protecting it from the eye socket down and above the knee.
Lian Bingyun didn't show a little worry about this, she neither recalled the blue snake sword nor sacrificed the defensive magic weapon, and she didn't even raise her hand, but her apricot eyes stared at the skeleton's eye sockets, and her sandalwood mouth opened slightly and let out a soft "whoop".
