Ancient ruins, one of the layers is Paradise.
This is a huge cavity underground, extremely spacious. Various magnificent buildings stand, and the ground is paved with white stone roads, as smooth and translucent as jade. Colorful ribbons are connected to the ends of different ornamental trees, and bronze bells hang below the ribbons, jingling.
Around the buildings are square meadows, rippling artificial lakes, hills with breezes blowing, and white and pink flowers all over the hills. People in bright and exquisite clothes are having fun in this beautiful scenery, drinking or singing. Some are sitting by the lake, chatting with friends while quietly waiting for fish to bite. From a distance, it looks like a paradise that makes people yearn for it.
Among all the people, there was only one figure that seemed out of place.
He was wearing a black cape, with a deep and cold aura. He stood away from the people who were having fun, leaning against the back of a big tree and watching silently.
The man crossed his arms across his chest, revealing the pale fingers of his right hand. On the middle finger was a supreme ring, which was the lush green color of plants.
Moreover, this lush green color is richer and deeper than the wood spirits that had been born from the Ripple Master Organization in the past, and it is even a little black.
Mu Ling, the leader of the first generation of Ripple Master organization.
He stood in the shadow of the trees, seemingly unwilling to touch the bright white light around him. Yes, bright white light, not sunlight.
The wood spirit slowly raised his head and saw the huge hollow sky through the gaps in the tree layer. There were countless dense pale roots, like dancing hairs, or like a group of slender poisonous snakes. The root system of the plant was well developed, one split into two, two split into four, constantly splitting and spreading. It looked like the human nervous system.
Light, colorful colors, emanated from the layers of roots. It was hazy, like rain or fog, as if drizzle was falling towards the earth. The lights of various colors gathered together and formed white light when they landed, which looked no different from sunlight.
At least, if you don't look up, you can't feel the difference.
After staring for a while, the wood spirit withdrew its gaze. It turned its head and glanced at the meadow and the lake in the distance. The spirits who were like puppets were smiling and laughing, repeating the actions they had done half an hour ago. The whole person was silent, and there was even a hint of mockery in the depths of his eyes.
Not only to these people, but also to myself.
"This is the price of bliss and eternal life..."
"Nothing good can be obtained without reason."
Crash...
The tree behind Mu Ling shook and trembled violently. At a height of two meters, the thick bark cracked, and suddenly a face was revealed.
A giant face made of twisted, tangled pale roots.
"Those invaders who landed on the Island of Eternal Life have wiped out the core strength of this generation of Ice Spirits and Ripple Masters..." The pale-faced man suddenly spoke, his voice hissing as if mixed with electricity: "They are now heading towards the ruins, heading towards Paradise..."
"Um!?"
Mu Ling's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, suddenly opened, and Tong Kong flashed a look of shock: "How is it possible? For the Ripple Master, the Eternal Life Island is the home field. And didn't you summon back the most elite Ripple Masters from all over the world not long ago? You also instructed the mother tree to give birth to more supreme rings... How could it be possible that someone wiped it out?"
Three supreme rings, one more ring to be born later, plus the original Ice Spirit. Five Spirit Level! When the Wood Spirit led the Ripple Master Organization to its peak, there were only three Spirit Levels. And now there are five Spirit Levels, but they were still swept away by those mysterious invaders
Faced with Mu Ling's doubts, the pale-faced man fell silent for a rare moment.
It paused for a moment before saying, "There is a very dangerous person among the invaders. He is from the secret martial arts world of the Red Li Empire. He has what I need. The team he leads has just entered the ruins. I need you to take the spirit level in Paradise and go to the upper levels to stop them."
"Better kill it, and then help me get that bone tree back..."
Mu Ling glanced at the pale face quietly: "Their strength."
"There are more than seventy fighters, including many top fighters. Most of the top knight-level nightmare monsters in Black Rain Villa, including two of the four strongest sealers at this stage..." said the pale-faced man.
"And then? What about that very dangerous man you mentioned?"
Mu Ling rubbed the emerald green ring on her middle finger.
"An hour ago, he just killed four extreme fighters who joined forces. Then he also killed the Ice Spirit that was descended by my will. At that time, the Ice Spirit was wearing five supreme rings at the same time..."
The pale-faced man paused for a moment.
"He is close to the Holy Fist..."
"Holy Fist..." Mu Ling muttered the word in a low voice, and inexplicably felt a huge, majestic and majestic feeling. He knew what the Holy Fist represented, which was the name of the secret martial arts world. As the only being in Paradise that could move semi-autonomously, Mu Ling had been to many places in the world during the past thousand years. He also gradually understood the secret martial arts world and secret martial artists.
The Holy Fist is the highest realm that secret warriors worship and yearn for!
The Saint of Fists, the King of Secret Martial Arts!
Even more, the Root of Cangyuan has been trapped in this ancient relic for thousands of years, and it seems to be inextricably linked to a certain Holy Fist.
Among the invaders this time, there was actually someone close to the Holy Fist. No wonder even the Root of Cangyuan immediately took it seriously.
"Close to the Holy Fist?" Mu Ling slowly raised his head: "I'm afraid I can't beat him. My body has decayed and my strength is fading. More than 20 years ago, you asked me to invite Lei Ling. Wasn't it your idea to replace the person in charge of Paradise? Unfortunately, Lei Ling saw through it and understood the truth about Paradise. I tried my best, but I couldn't stop him. I only beat him seriously and let him escape on the verge of death. This is certainly due to Lei Ling's strong strength, but more of it is because my strength is lost. There is no such thing as immortality. Maybe I have been pursuing the wrong thing from the beginning. If I hadn't accepted your gift back then, it would be good to die of old age..."
"Are you regretting this now?"
"Why were you so ecstatic back then, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw? You really enjoyed the first hundred years. Didn't you take the initiative to invite the first few members of Paradise? But now you regret it? Hypocritical human..."
The pale-faced man said in a low voice.
"Yes, I regret it. I didn't expect that I was the only one who retained half of my consciousness among all the members of Paradise! The personalities of the other spiritual-level people were all wiped out, leaving only the naked desire for pleasure! I turned into a beast, a puppet. A puppet whose inner self is clearly controlled by a monster like you, but on the surface has to pretend to behave like a human being..."
Mu Ling gradually became excited. As the founder of the Ripple Master, the first generation of Mu Ling, he had a kind of love for the Ripple Master organization and every generation of the organization's leaders. This was his inheritance, a trace of his past achievements, and a manifestation of his life's value. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to invite the next few Ripple Master organization leaders to join Paradise and share eternal life without knowing the truth.
Later, after Mu Ling knew the truth, he never took the initiative to invite the leader of the Ripple Master Organization again. Even if the Cangyuan Root asked him to do it, Mu Ling resisted to the end. Only the time with Lei Ling, because of the importance of the matter. The Cangyuan Root paid a certain price and forcibly controlled Mu Ling's body to make a layout. Paradise was born a thousand years ago, and Mu Ling's consciousness also existed for a thousand years. He became more and more disgusted with his own existence.
Especially after the Lei Ling incident, he had a vague idea of seeking death. However, Mu Ling was still reluctant to give up the powerful Wave Master force he had created. Even though this force was deeply influenced by the Cangyuan Root. However, when the main elite members of the Wave Master organization were all destroyed just now, Mu Ling suddenly found that he was not as sad and angry as he imagined. He immediately understood that he just wanted an excuse. An excuse to continue living.
What Cang Yuan Zhi Gen said is right, he is such a hypocritical person...
He is also a contradictory person.
Next to the big tree, the wood spirit's emotions gradually calmed down, and the pale face on the tree trunk said: "If you can lead Paradise to kill those invaders who entered the ruins. Afterwards, I allow you to commit suicide."
Yes, suicide is allowed.
Because, even if only half of the wood spirit is controlled, it cannot commit suicide. It can only feel its body decaying bit by bit after a thousand years, and finally turn into a pile of ashes. What a frustrating way to die...
How can there be immortality? The sea will dry up, the rocks will rot. I am afraid that even the root of the Cangyuan itself cannot do it, it will die and decay.
It was just too slow. Compared to humans, whose lifespan was only a little over a hundred years, it was like eternal life. Stones that could last for hundreds of millions of years would turn into ashes, not to mention creatures with consciousness. Mu Ling's current state of mind was completely different from that of the past. His heart was filled with the thought of death.
"I promise."
He looked at the pale face on the tree trunk in front of him and spoke word by word. As soon as he finished speaking, the wood spirit walked out of the shadows and towards the white light.
Afterwards, figures gathered in Paradise, led by Mu Ling, and flew towards the exit of Paradise at an extremely fast speed.
On the other side, the secret martial arts team has completely entered the ancient ruins.
They followed behind Kaxiu, their pace getting faster and faster.
As an ancient ruins similar to the Aoyin Ruins, there are of course dangerous traps, terrifying alien species, and unknown powers. However, these dangers that were enough to kill fighter-level masters in the past were swept away by the secret martial arts team. Because, there were not one or two fighters, but more than 70 fighters! This order of magnitude is completely different, and facing the same dangerous situation is very different.
The rectangular tunnel was filled to the brim with powerful figures.
If there was any metal trap on the ground, on the wall or above the head, a fighter would immediately jump up and punch it hard. Or he would forcibly pull out the mechanism in the wall, or directly destroy the gear of the mechanism. There were even reckless people who would destroy the trap with their bodies.
This is still a mechanical trap, and the scene with the alien species is even more tragic.
As soon as they appeared, they were besieged by more than 70 fighters. One of them was beaten to ashes with a punch, and they didn't even have to kneel down and wail with bruises on their faces. Wherever they passed, it was like a flood, and all kinds of dense traces of destruction were shocking. They didn't look like they were exploring ancient ruins, but a group specially formed to demolish ancient ruins.
Of course, this is the first floor of the ruins, and the danger level is the lowest. It is normal to be overwhelmed by fighters who can almost be regarded as the combined number of the two major secret martial arts circles of the Red Li Empire. The next few floors will be more dangerous, and everyone has to be careful.
Any carelessness may result in injuries and casualties.
However, Kashu has a bronze key, and the secret tunnel leading directly to the location of Nandou Shuiniaoquan is somewhere on the first floor of the ruins. He can take everyone to take a shortcut and face the most dangerous situation in the most complete and best condition. After that, they can rest more and go to the armory if they want.
"This way."
The black-clad Kaxiu, who was walking in the front, stood at the fork in the three tunnels.
He stepped forward and headed straight for the dark intersection on the far right. Everyone followed him, completely following Kaxiu's judgment and will.
Ten minutes later, the wall on one side of the ancient hall in front of me began to crack.
A passage appeared, sloping downwards, in an ancient grayish-white color.
Kaxiu took back the key, his palms were slightly sweaty, and he was inexplicably excited. He hadn't felt this way for a long time. After all, it was Nandou Water Bird Fist... Three punches combined into one, maybe he could really do it today.
Without thinking too much, Kaxiu walked straight towards the passage, and everyone followed him. With a click, the wall closed again, and there was silence.
This secret tunnel goes all the way down. There were no traps or accidents during the walk. It was a steady descent. Kaxiu, who had experienced the Aoyin Ruins before, couldn't help but sigh that intelligence was the most important thing. This time it was really too labor-saving. There was no need to run around in the ruins like the third time. He was chased around and finally escaped in a mess after more than ten days.
Ta-ta-ta…
On the fifth underground floor, a dense sound of footsteps suddenly came from a thick wall. With a click, the wall opened and a passage appeared.
Figures emitting powerful auras appeared at the bottom of the ruins. Kaxiu checked the map and found that the dangerous area was less than 200 meters away from where everyone was.
This is a blow to the face!
It's not the boss's face.
Instead, he led a huge army to confront the boss!
Whether it's the Ripple Master Organization, Paradise, or the mysterious Ultimate Darkness, this time, no one can stop Kaxiu's will!
