After entering the city, the two did not immediately return to Wanbao Pavilion or their base, but went their separate ways.
Di Tian didn't say where he was going. After reminding Wu Tian to be careful, he left in a hurry.
And Wutan, led by the little guy, galloped towards the imperial city.
On the way, after Wutan's strict questioning, he finally found out the reason why the little guy's cultivation level suddenly increased.
It turned out that it had gone to Wuhou Mansion the night before and looted the treasure house in the mansion without anyone noticing.
The supplements in the spiritual medicine naturally went into its stomach, and the rest of the essence, spiritual weapons, etc., were also taken for itself and stored in its own small treasury.
Wu Tian was deeply troubled when he found out about this, but fortunately, the little guy's whereabouts were secretive and no one discovered him.
After looting the treasure house of Wuhou Mansion, it originally planned to come back, but when it arrived at the gate of the imperial city, it set its sights on the imperial palace's treasury.
However, this time it failed to achieve its wish. The national treasury was heavily guarded. There were more than a dozen strong men in the Hundred Dynasties period guarding it, and there was also a man in the Divine Transformation period.
It watched for a day and a night, but could not find any chance to sneak into the treasury, so it had no choice but to give up. Then, while it was wandering around, it actually discovered the Fire Dragon and the Barbarian Fire Bull of Ganghuo Peak, as well as the Blood-sucking Insect King!
Upon hearing this, Wutan was shocked and at the same time very confused. Why didn't the Fire Dragon, the Wild Fire Bull, and the Blood-sucking Insect King be destroyed with the Yan Sect, but instead came to Zhongyao Continent
What's the trick here
With countless doubts, he followed the little guy and went straight to the palace. He sneaked carefully all the way, and with the help of the Wind God Boots, he easily broke through the guards at each level.
Half an hour later, Wutan came to a lake, about a hundred feet in size. The water was clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Lotus flowers were blooming by the lake, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Wutan hid in a bush, raised his head slightly, and looked around, with confusion in his eyes. The palace was too big, with stacked halls and crisscrossing paths. In addition, he did not pay much attention along the way, so he had no idea where he was for a moment.
However, the lake is surrounded by strong barriers, and guards in golden armor stand upright. They have no expression on their faces and are meticulous, paying attention to every move around them. Moreover, each of them has a cultivation level above the initial stage of expanding meridians.
The guards leading the group are at the stage of perfecting their meridian expansion!
If it weren’t for the Wind God Boots, Wu Tian wouldn’t be able to easily enter the lake.
"kindness?"
Suddenly, Wu Tian took a few steps forward, squatted down, reached out and pulled aside a few vines, revealing a stone tablet with three big characters engraved on it - Lotus Lake!
"With so many guards, there must be some secret in the lake," Wu Tian muttered.
"You're right, the secret is in there," the little guy pointed to the Lotus Lake and motioned to go down.
Without hesitation, Wutan brought the little guy and gently fell into the water without making any sound or ripples. The only remaining circle of ripples soon calmed down under the cover of lotus leaves.
When Wu Tian dived into the lake, he found that the water was unusually deep, and he still hadn't reached the bottom of the lake for nearly sixty breaths. Gradually, he felt a chill in his heart, and in the end, he couldn't help shivering.
The power of fire gushed out, wrapping him tightly and dispelling the cold, and then his body sank and fell rapidly. After another fifty or sixty breaths, Wu Tian finally saw the bottom of the lake.
"Follow me." The little guy said, instead of going directly to the bottom of the lake, he swam to the other side.
After a while, as the little guy came to the other side of the lake, when he saw the scene in front of him, Wutan was stunned and his brows gradually frowned.
"Prohibition!"
There is a huge hole in front of him, which is about fifty or sixty feet wide. There is a layer of light curtain on the mouth of the hole. The light flows, isolating the lake water. Through the light curtain, he can clearly see a dim passage.
This light curtain is a kind of confinement that can isolate the lake water and prevent it from flowing into the channel.
The little fellow swam forward first, and a black talisman appeared in a flash of light. He twisted his little paws and pressed upwards, and suddenly ripples appeared on the light curtain.
"The ban-releasing talisman!"
Wutan was surprised. The ban-releasing talisman was a special type of ban, just like the Ju Yuan Ban. One needed to be a ninth-rank great ban master to carve it. It was even several times more difficult than the Ju Yuan Ban. He didn't expect that the little guy actually had one on him.
"Go, go in," the little guy turned around and grinned at him, then passed through the restriction and fell into the passage.
"Where did the talisman come from?" Wutan asked when he walked out of the restriction.
"It was in Wu Hou's treasure house. I saw it was pitch black at the time and didn't pay much attention to it. Later I found out that it was a good treasure. It seemed to be a ninth-level ban-releasing talisman," said the little guy.
"Ninth-level ban-releasing talisman!"
Wutan was surprised again, and at the same time, his heart was excited. The ninth-level ban-releasing talisman could break all the restrictions from the ninth level to below. It was not only a good treasure, but also a rare treasure that could not be found in a thousand years.
Old Twelve once said that it was extremely difficult to carve a talisman to release the forbidden stones. Even for him, if he was lucky, he might be able to successfully carve one talisman out of a hundred forbidden stones, and it would only be a fifth-level talisman.
If it was a ninth-level talisman, at least a thousand forbidden stones would be needed to carve one, with a one in a thousand chance. It was obvious how slim the success rate was.
"I'll give it to you if you want it," the little guy said nonchalantly, then he stood up, crouched down, and walked gently towards the depths of the passage.
Wu Tian was unable to react to such a straightforward action for a moment. According to his understanding of the little guy, if he wanted to get rare treasures from it, he would have to exchange them for something of equal value.
But at this moment, he gave it to him without hesitation and did not take the opportunity to blackmail him, which was somewhat unreasonable.
Putting his doubts aside temporarily, Wutan took out the talisman from the restriction, put it in his arms as if it were a treasure, and followed.
The ninth-level ban-releasing talisman is even more profound than the Juyuan ban. It is difficult to comprehend it in a short period of time, so it is better to leave it for later study.
The passage was very long, with a fist-sized luminous pearl hanging from the ceiling every thirty or forty feet. It was particularly dark, and there were many forks in the road, making it as complicated as a maze.
However, the little guy was familiar with the route and soon brought Wutan to a stone chamber about ten feet in size.
There was nothing in the stone chamber, it was empty. Opposite it was a large stone door with an inch-wide crack in the middle. Strong light shone through it, and faint breathing sounds could be heard.
It goes without saying that Shimen is our destination this time.
The little guy made a gesture to Wutan to keep quiet, and then the two of them walked carefully to the stone door and looked inside through the crack in the door.
Suddenly, Wutan was shocked. There was a secret room behind the stone door. Although he could only see a little bit through the crack in the door, he estimated that the secret room was at least two or three thousand feet.
The lights in the secret room were bright, as if it were daytime, and the scene inside could be seen clearly. A ferocious-looking beast, as big as a mountain, was squatting on the ground, with scales as big as a dustpan on its body. When it opened and closed its scales, it spewed out large amounts of fire power, like a blazing fire!
Isn’t this the fire dragon that we have not seen for a long time!
However, the fire dragon at this moment did not have three heads, but four heads. Each head was as big as a house, with eyes as big as basins, flashing with ferocious light.
Ten years later, the Fire Dragon's cultivation had risen to an incredible level, and just a faint breath of it was enough to make Wu Tian almost unable to breathe!
Next to the fire dragon, there lay a ferocious bull-shaped beast, with jet-black hair all over its body, like a steel cable, with a metallic luster. This beast was the wild fire bull. Although its size was not as large as the fire dragon, the aura it exuded was almost as great as the latter.
Wutan felt somewhat grateful towards these two ferocious beasts. If they had not let him go, it would have been impossible for him to obtain the Essence of Ganghuo so easily.
Or if the two beasts had attacked at that time, then Han Tian and the little guy, along with himself, would probably have been buried in Ganghuo Peak long ago.
And at that time, he also felt the kindness of the Fire Dragon.
But what puzzled him was why the two beasts were here
Then its eyes turned and changed color suddenly. Opposite the two beasts was the blood-sucking insect king.
After ten years of training, its body has grown to the size of a winnowing basket, and the spikes on its mouth are one meter long, like the sickle of the god of death, hideous and creepy!
His cultivation level also improved significantly. According to Wutan's estimation, he had at least reached the initial stage of the Hundred Dynasties.
Because the gap in the door was too small, he could only see the Insect King, but there was no doubt that the other blood-sucking insects must be inside as well. What a terrifying tribe! If all of them were dispatched, they would definitely be able to devastate Fengyang City and massacre them all!
"kindness?"
Suddenly, a golden figure flashed by. Yes, it was a figure. Although it only flashed by, Wutan clearly captured it.
This made him very confused. Judging from the figure's attire, he was very similar to the commander of the guards in the palace. But why was he living in the same room with the fire dragon and other ferocious beasts and not being attacked
The more he thought about it, the more Wu Tian felt something was amiss.
This is too unbelievable. It's understandable that there are only fire dragons and wild fire bulls, but the blood-sucking insects are also in there. With their ferocious personalities, how can they live in peace with humans? !
"Little Prince, go get the sharp thorn on the Insect King's mouth, and the ninth-level talisman will be yours. You can't refuse because you have already received the talisman," the little guy said in a voice transmission.
Wutan was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, saying that it was impossible for the little guy to give him the talisman for no reason, so it turned out that this was his trick.
Of course, he would definitely not agree. Not to mention that there was a group of blood-sucking insects inside, even if there was only the Insect King, he would not be able to defeat it.
The fighting power of the Insect King in the initial stage of Baichao is comparable to that of the Insect King in the minor stage. With his current strength, he will only die if he goes in.
"If you don't get it for me, return the ninth-level ban-releasing talisman to me immediately."
Wu Tian's face darkened, and he took out the ban-releasing talisman. At this time, the little guy laughed and said, "Actually, I'm not asking you to get it now! If there is a chance in the future, you must help me with all your strength!"
To be honest, facing the swarms of blood-sucking insects, the little guy felt a little guilty, so he planned to ask Wutan to help him.
Although he didn't know what the little guy wanted the Insect King Spikes for, he nodded anyway. After all, their relationship had reached this point, and even if he wasn't given the Talisman, he couldn't refuse.
Seeing this, the little fellow grinned, and then slowly said: "I have sneaked in before, and found that there are not only fire dragons, wild fire bulls and blood-sucking insects, but also thirty or forty powerful beasts. They are all very powerful. According to Grandpa Frog's preliminary judgment, they are no worse than fire dragons.
In addition, there are many ordinary monsters, at least five or six hundred, and there are also many humans. Judging from their attire, they should all be people from the palace!
Also, in the center of the secret room, there was something like an altar. I was afraid of being discovered, so I just took a quick look and retreated. I didn’t see the specific appearance clearly.
Hearing this, Wu Tian became more confused.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out the reason, but he had a hunch that the fire dragon and other ferocious beasts, or the emperor were carrying out a big conspiracy, or perhaps the two were working together.
