Chen Lin carefully controlled the puppet and came to a jade box.
But nothing unusual happened.
Then he tried other directions, and the puppet was not attacked either.
He hesitated for a moment and did not go forward directly. Instead, he took out a photo stone and placed it aside. Then he took Xu Sulan and retreated up the passage until they came to the entrance.
In the end, he felt that it was still unsafe, so he simply gave the puppet an instruction to act on its own later. He took out the crow puppet and flew out of the cave to take a look, then brought Xu Sulan directly outside.
Xu Sulan mechanically accepted the whole process and did not dare to walk or resist at all. At the same time, she was secretly amazed at Chen Lin's style of doing things. Compared with him, her previous actions were really too reckless. No wonder he could become a Jindan Zhenren.
Chen Lin activated a high-level invisibility talisman, covering the two of them, and then waited quietly.
About half a quarter of an hour later, suddenly, an invisible cold energy descended upon him and directly invaded his soul, leaving him no chance to react.
But immediately, the power of the golden soul was automatically activated and expelled the abnormal energy.
By the time Chen Lin reacted, the invasion process had already ended!
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Undoubtedly, this was the case when the foundation-building puppet was attacked by the altar when it tried to take the items in the jade box. He had expected this, but he did not expect that this attack could go straight to the main body through the spiritual connection between him and the puppet.
It's incredible!
What's more, he had already escaped from the inside of the mountain and out of the range of the strange energy.
Fortunately, the power of the golden soul that he relied on the most was still strong. It was precisely because of this trump card that he dared to take the risk.
After calming down, Chen Lin glanced at Xu Sulan.
The other party was not implicated and didn't even seem to sense anything. He was still staring at the cave entrance nervously.
It seems that the attack of the altar is limited to those who touch the objects, and it is not an indiscriminate attack. Of course, it may also be because they are outside the cave entrance.
His biggest question now is how the other party's father was able to withstand a spiritual attack of this intensity.
"Since you dare to come here to check the situation, you must have a way to resist the energy attack of the altar. Can you tell me what it is?"
Chen Lin asked directly.
Xu Sulan hesitated for a moment, then took out a jade pendant full of cracks from her waist and said, "This is it. It is the only item left by my Xu family ancestors. It needs to be activated with the spatial innate ability. After activation, it can form an independent micro interface. The user can hide in it, which is equivalent to leaving this world, and all attacks from this world cannot affect him."
Chen Lin was shocked. Such a treasure could be called a life-saving artifact. It was definitely not something that could be passed down by an ordinary foundation-building family. The ancestor of the Xu family was probably also an extraordinary figure.
At this time, Xu Sulan explained: "Originally, after this treasure is activated, it can allow the user to hide directly in the void, but because it is severely damaged, it can only form a barrier, so my father could not escape the attack of the altar's energy."
At this point, she glanced at Chen Lin and asked expectantly, "Senior, do you really have a way to control the strange energy emanating from this altar?"
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It should be no problem. As long as you obey and cooperate, I will naturally help your father treat his injuries after we leave."
After saying that, Chen Lin ignored the other party's reaction, put the crow puppet back on the photo stone, and sent it into the cave entrance.
Since the power of the golden soul can resist the energy attack of the altar, he has to act according to the previous plan. Otherwise, it will be impossible to find other ways to obtain pure space energy within a year.
This time it took a little longer, about quarter of an hour later, the crow puppet finally flew out.
He took down the photo stone and looked at it, then took Xu Sulan into the cave.
He put the bones at the entrance of the cave back in place and carefully returned to the underground space.
Everything inside was normal, as if nothing had happened, except that the foundation-building puppet was standing there stupidly, having lost its spirituality.
Chen Lin first took down the photo stone that had been placed in advance and started to check it.
Then his face showed strange color.
Although the image recorded by the photo stone was dim, it was still barely visible that when the foundation-building puppet tried to open the jade box, the mini skeleton on the top of the small tree on the altar suddenly lit up, and then the foundation-building puppet froze in place.
Judging from the point of time, that was when his soul was eroded by invisible energy.
This made him very surprised. It seemed that this little skeleton was not a real fruit, but a special existence.
If it were an ordinary treasure hunt, he would definitely turn around and leave, and would not have any contact with such a strange thing.
But now the danger of the Holy Skeleton Ship is imminent, and we can only take a little risk.
Thinking of this, he asked Xu Sulan to stay where she was, took out a few foundation-building puppets and placed them next to her, then came to the front of the altar.
He first put away the puppet with its destroyed seal, looked at it quietly for a while, and then waved to Xu Sulan.
"Let me borrow your treasure for a moment!"
Although he was confident in the power of the Golden Soul, he decided to add another layer of defense just to be on the safe side.
Xu Sulan's expression changed, but she took off the jade pendant and gritted her teeth and said, "This thing needs to rely on my innate power to maintain its effect, so let me activate it next to you, senior!"
After saying that, she leaned her body tightly against Chen Lin, her face flushed as she activated the jade pendant. A layer of white light barely covered the two of them.
Chen Lin was in no mood to feel the soft jade in his arms. When he saw the fluorescent light appear, he immediately conjured up a big hand and grabbed the jade box.
The energy hand was extremely dexterous and opened the jade box with just a flick of the finger.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
As he expected, there was a spirit stone in the jade box. Judging from its color, it should undoubtedly have spatial attributes.
But just when he was about to grab the spirit stone, he saw a flash of light from the skull on the top of the small tree, and then he felt the fluorescent shield on his body tremble, and the strange energy from before descended upon his body again!
But this time it was much weaker and could be easily resolved by relying solely on the power of Gintama.
Chen Lin looked at the jade pendant held by Xu Sulan in surprise. This item was truly extraordinary. The attack strength of the little skeleton was weakened by at least 70%!
If it hadn't been severely damaged, no energy would have been able to break through into the shield. Now he finally believed that the other party's father had saved his life with the help of this thing.
With the help of such a treasure, Chen Lin became bolder and immediately followed the same method, searching all the jade boxes around him.
Without exception, all the jade boxes contained top-grade space spirit stones, seventy-one in total. Together with the one taken away by Xu Sulan's father, there were seventy-two pieces in total, which coincided with the number of Earthly Evils.
Moreover, these spirit stones are full of energy, as if they have never been used.
After putting away the spirit stones, Chen Lin looked at the small tripods on the platform again. He felt that there seemed to be something in these small tripods, perhaps the space spirit crystals.
But these small tripods also have lids, and you can’t see what’s inside unless you open them.
After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't act.
Anyway, the things are here and can't run away. Let's try to let Xu Sulan purify the energy in the top-grade space spirit stone. If it is enough, there is no need to take risks.
Thinking of this, he took Xu Sulan and retreated towards the passage.
Purifying spirit stones takes a certain amount of time and cannot be done in this dangerous place.
Right at this moment.
A red light flashed in the two eye sockets of the little skeleton, and then the space above the altar suddenly trembled, forming a small space crack.
A thin grayish-white line emerged from the crack and landed precisely on the fruit stalk of the little skeleton!
Then Chen Lin was horrified to see that the little skeleton glowed brightly, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a behemoth more than three meters tall, standing on the altar and almost touching the mountain at the top of the space.
Waves of violent, cold and terrifying aura emanated from him, making it impossible for him to even move.
Chen Lin hurriedly activated the power of the Golden Soul, trying to break free from the suppression and escape, but he soon discovered that the power of the Golden Soul had lost its effect at this time!
However, what made him feel a little relieved was that this horrible existence did not seem to pay any attention to him. Instead, it stretched out two huge bony hands and tore at the crack. The space crack began to expand, and then it shook its huge body and squeezed into the crack!
As the giant skeleton's body drilled into the crack, the oppressive feeling in the underground space was alleviated. Chen Lin once again stimulated the power of the golden soul, and this time it finally worked. Although it was very weak, his body finally regained some control.
He grabbed Xu Sulan, who was already unconscious on the ground, and struggled to climb up.
"Found it, the space node is here!"
Suddenly, a man's voice was heard, with great surprise in it. Then, a mountain opposite the passage was broken open, and three figures appeared.
Chen Lin had just climbed up a few steps when he saw this scene and his face suddenly changed.
Unexpectedly, the three people from Yunhai came over at this time, and Gu Xuan was shouting and yelling without knowing the consequences. If the skeleton monster was alarmed, not only would the three people on the other side die, but he would also be implicated.
In a desperate situation, he could only use all his strength to climb faster, trying to create some distance between himself and these disaster stars.
At this time Gu Xuan and others also discovered that something was wrong, and they withdrew and wanted to return the same way, but it was too late.
The restraining force in the space suddenly increased, and everyone was pressed to the ground, unable to move at all.
The skeleton monster reached back and grabbed the old man surnamed He in his hand. Then he exerted force with his palm, and the old man surnamed He's body turned into a ball of blood and was thrown onto the small tree.
The small tree seemed to have absorbed fertilizer and emitted bursts of red light. All of this red light was absorbed by the skeleton monster, and his strength increased greatly, tearing the space crack open a little more.
As if it was not enough, the skeleton monster turned around and grabbed the man from Yunhai.
Yunhairen's face changed drastically, and he opened his mouth and spit out an ancient coin. The ancient coin emitted a yellow light ball, which delayed the skull's absorption force for a moment. Although it exploded immediately, during this gap, a belt tied on his body automatically popped out and wrapped around Gu Xuan's body. Then the belt trembled, and the positions of the two were swapped!
"Mr. Yan, you will die a miserable death!"
Gu Xuan's eyes were bulging and he cursed loudly, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch himself being sucked into the bony palm and then lost consciousness.
Another energy injection from a late Nascent Soul cultivator made the small tree glow even more brightly, and even a leaf grew out.
The skeleton monster exerted force again, expanding the space crack. There was even light appearing from the other side of the crack, and some scenery could be seen clearly.
Chen Lin, who had just struggled to raise his head on the stairs, happened to see this scene and immediately showed an incredible expression.
Leaves fall!
In the scenery outside the crack, in addition to the green mountains and clear waters, there was the little princess of the Ye family who had not been seen for a long time!
Really
Could it be that this skeleton monster is Ye Luo’s summoned creature
Although it felt ridiculous, the facts were right in front of him and he could not help but believe it.
Without giving it much thought, he immediately thought quickly about how to use this condition to solve the current dilemma.
Seeing that the skeleton monster had already drilled out most of its body, but the space crack was still small, the other party might capture more people at any time to replenish Xiaoshu's energy. He immediately used the secret technique of soul transmission to Yunhai Shangren.
"Brother Yan, can you find a way to distract this monster? I have a way to deal with it!"
Master Yunhai had already discovered the presence of Chen Lin and the other person, but because his perception was suppressed, he did not recognize Chen Lin. When he heard the voice transmission, his expression suddenly changed.
He immediately transmitted a message: "I can indeed distract its attention, but this monster must have reached the Hedao level, and it has only become weak because of some kind of restraint. If you cannot resolve the dilemma after the distraction, then both you and I will die."
When it comes to life and death, he doesn't trust anyone.
But Chen Lin's voice rang out again.
"Otherwise, does Brother Yan have any good ideas? Otherwise, you might be the next one to be caught."
Yunhai's face turned pale, knowing that Chen Lin was right. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, then I will believe Brother Chen once. You are ready!"
Time was running out, and having made the decision, Yunhaishangren did not hesitate. His brows slowly split open, and a fat, green worm crawled out from inside.
Then a green light flashed, and the next moment it appeared beside the skeleton monster. It seemed that the powerful suppressing force in the space had no effect on it.
But the skeleton monster immediately sensed it, and without even seeing what was happening, it grabbed the green bug in its hand and was about to crush it to fertilize the sapling.
But before it could exert any force, the insect exploded on its own.
There seemed to be endless energy in the small body. Green light suddenly exploded, and the power emitted in an instant loosened the restraining force in the space a little.
Chen Lin's eyes widened upon seeing this, and he spat a mouthful of blood onto the several talismans in his hand. The talismans turned into several streaks of blood and shot towards the space crack!
The skeleton monster's attention was distracted by the self-explosion of the insects, or it might have not cared about the weak power of the talismans. It just waved its hand casually, dispersing the light of several talismans, but there was still a stream of light that drilled out from the crack in space!
