Lu Bei and his three companions stepped into the teleportation array. The sky and the earth spun around them, and the scenery ahead of them changed drastically, and they found themselves among mountains and ridges.
The spiritual energy in the surface secret realm is average. Referring to the Wu Zhou that Lu Bei is most familiar with, it can be compared to the level of the Yuezhou map. The spiritual energy in the second layer is abundant, comparable to the Ten Thousand Mountains in the northern border of Xuanlong.
Among the mountains, there are many powerful monsters that divide up their territories and rule one side.
Due to the isolation of the secret realm from the outside world, these monsters are unable to practice and have formed their own ecosystem of the survival of the fittest. Their lives are in a daze, living just for the sake of living, with no idea of the meaning of life, let alone what immortality is.
The four did not disturb the monsters in the mountains. Following Kuimulang's calculations, they stood up and flew towards the high mountain in the center of the secret realm.
"We are one step behind, and someone got there first."
"Are you serious?"
Di Tu He frowned in disbelief and looked at Lu Bei who remained silent. There was no one else in the passage to the Great Snow Mountain. Could it be that there was another teleportation array in the secret realm
That shouldn't be the case. Xinyuehu and Kuimulang are experts in divination, and their minds are hard to predict. There's no reason for them to take a detour and let others go ahead.
"Brother, say something!"
"What is there to say? There are many talented people in the world. I am still inexperienced. Is it strange that someone is ahead of me?" Lu Bei said casually.
According to the strategy, there is more than one teleportation array connecting the surface and inner layers of the secret realm. He informed the Golden Scaled Snake in advance to avoid risks and maximize benefits. He deliberately took a detour for the opportunity in the Great Snow Mountain.
The unknown red cross on the guide made him very concerned.
Moreover, the secret realm has more than two levels, there is also a third level. It is not a bad idea to let people go ahead and step on the mines.
…
The hall is high in the mountains, with dilapidated doors and strong traces of time.
The ruined temple was dotted with broken walls and ruins, except for the kneeling or standing stone statues that were still intact. A rough count revealed that there were more than a hundred soldiers guarding the place.
The stone statue in the center is broken in half, with broken stones scattered all over the ground. There are soldiers but no commander, and it is difficult to keep the statue as a whole.
In front of the hall, the four people were divided into two groups. They wanted to enter the hall to explore, but they were worried about being attacked from behind, so they pretended to be polite, talked and laughed, and occasionally said a sarcastic remark or two.
Zhang Yuelu and Yihuoshe under Suzaku, and Wei Yueyan and Bishuili under Xuanwu.
Appearance is not important, and the gender of the two men and two women is not important either. They are all illusions to deceive people. If you believe them, you lose.
In short, the eight grave keepers who have entered the secret realm are all together, and it won’t be long before they meet.
Boom—
The dark sky suddenly brightened, the night turned into day, and the world returned to light.
The four of them looked around vigilantly and stopped their tentative words.
Zhang Yuelu, a subordinate of Zhuque, is a beautiful and charming lady with a fairy-like figure. Seeing this, she drew talisman patterns in the air with both hands and said, "There is no yin-yang formation here, but the sky changes suddenly. I thought it was only the appearance, but I didn't expect it to be the same when I went deeper into this place. Be careful, everyone, the secret realm is not that simple."
Listening to your words is like listening to a conversation.
Wei Yueyan and the other two all said they had learned a lesson.
At this moment, hundreds of stone statues glowed with fluorescence, and the dust on their surfaces peeled off, turning into lifelike real people.
The outline of his facial features was not obvious, and his body was rough and rarely sculpted, but his aura was so connected that no one could underestimate him. Zhang Yuelu and the other three retreated decisively.
"Puppet or formation? Is there any connection with the previous change in the weather?"
"Compared to us grave robbers, they are more like grave keepers."
Wei Yueyan and Bi Shuiyu were talking in a low voice. Suddenly, they paused and looked quickly at Zhang Yuelu and Yihuoshe on the opposite side. They looked at each other and nodded in unison, instantly forming an alliance relationship of common advancement and retreat.
There are still petty thieves around who have evil intentions. We can't let them get away with it.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the hall stepped out, and four soldiers walked out from the military line, facing Zhang Yuelu and his three companions from a distance.
In the distant bushes, Lu Bei exclaimed, "There are not too many people, not too few people, it seems that they are planning to fight one-on-one, but..."
The meaning was conveyed halfway through the sentence.
If Zhang Yuelu and his four companions cannot even defeat four soldiers, if they attack together, they can only defeat eight at best, and the opponent will still have 90+ left.
What's the point of playing this? Just go home and end it. Your life is more important, so don't think about any opportunities.
"Xinyuehu is worrying too much. I have met Wei Yueyan and Bi Shuili once before. They are both very powerful and are definitely not good at fighting. A mere hundred or so puppets will not be a problem for them." Kuimulang said, stroking his beard.
Lu Bei nodded, thinking that he was probably worrying too much.
Just like Zhang Yuelu in the pink dress. As the saying goes, the pinker the skirt, the fiercer the fight. She looks like a tough character at first glance.
This kind of person, let alone fighting ten people, can definitely defeat four soldiers alone...
Just as he was thinking about it, four figures flew out backwards and fell in a row outside the bushes.
Wei Yueyan and Bi Shuiyu, who were definitely not good at this, lowered their heads and coughed up blood. Zhang Yuelu and Yihuoshe were not much better. The shock in their eyes was not fake, as if they had seen a ghost.
No, the four of them started at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. The only ones who could defeat them with one move were ghosts and gods.
Kuimulang's smile was stiff, and his old hand shook as he pulled out a handful of his beard. The goatee was half long and half short, exactly like the sloppy old Taoist at the Demon Cultivator Conference.
In front of the hall, four faceless soldiers returned to the formation after practicing military boxing. The shadows of people were so bright that Lu Bei's scalp tingled.
In a one-on-one duel, he is not bad against one, he is OK against two, and he is OK against three...
You can only get beaten.
To be honest, as a pure passerby, I think this secret place is too exaggerated.
"Kui Mulang, the show is over, why don't you take action?"
Wei Yueyan glanced at Lu Bei and the other three, paused for a moment when she saw Lou Jingou, and stood up to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. "I don't know what the higher-ups meant by arranging this dangerous mission. I'm afraid they thought I'd live too long, so they chose this Feng Shui treasure land."
This is a thin man with triangular eyes and a hooked nose. He looks very similar to Lu Bei, both of them are sinister and annoying characters.
Commonly known as the villain.
The eight people stared at each other, four of them stood outside the bushes, and four of them stood inside the bushes. Each of them was cunning and sly, and when added together, they could make up thousands of tricks.
"Everyone, are you going to stay or leave?"
"Stay!" Di Tu He said decisively.
"Walk."
Lu Bei said decisively: "Four soldiers are still like this. There must be some military formation to attack in groups. The water is too muddy. Let me go first."
After saying that, he turned his head and...
Failed to escape.
Kuimulang waved his sleeves to block Lu Bei: "Although the soldiers in front are strong, they are all lifeless and dead. As long as we find a way to break the formation, we can easily defeat them. I would like to ask Xinyuehu to join us and work together to break this formation."
"I am willing to lend a helping hand to you two."
Zhang Yuelu, dressed in pink, spoke, and when she noticed Lu Bei's furtive glance, she smiled sweetly.
Lu Bei: (a`′a)
Another mediocre story. What happened to the gravekeeper organization? It is certainly great to pacify the world, but without rallying the people’s hearts, it is impossible to keep the country.
Suddenly, Lu Bei realized that he and the gravekeeper organization were not of the same kind.
Seeing that Lu Bei didn't say anything, Kuimulang assumed that he agreed and took out the compass to calculate.
Zhang Yuelu waved her hand and spread out the formation diagram and magic weapon. The two of them worked together to deduce it, beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads. In less than a moment, due to severe exhaustion of energy, their faces turned pale and creepy like white paper.
Lu Bei did not join in. Looking at Kuimulang and Zhang Yuelu who were exhausted, some thoughts arose in his mind.
If, he meant if, if you take the enemy by surprise and attack them when they are unprepared, how much experience can you gain
As a newbie, Lu Bei was quite puzzled. It was not because he was too cruel and always judged others by his own standards, but because he put himself in others' shoes and discussed the matter objectively.
He has ideas, and so do others. What is the meaning of the gravekeeper organization? Are they raising poisonous insects
Instead of nurturing the Tribulation Crossing Stage, they had to be thrown into the secret realm to kill each other...
That’s right, the tribulation period is basically the end in the world of immortal cultivation. There is little room for advancement and it has no value in cultivation. Raising Gu can instead maximize the benefits.
The question is, why are gravekeepers so keen on raising Gu? What are the benefits
Faintly, Lu Bei felt that he had discovered something.
"It's done!"
Kuimulang's eyes widened and he fell to the ground helplessly. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and drew a battle formation in the air.
Zhang Yuelu continued, "This formation is missing its core. It is hard to succeed with soldiers but no generals. It is like a headless snake with no connection between the head and the tail. The point to break the formation is in the center..."
The soft voice was weak, as if telling others that she would fall down if pushed, so they should act quickly, because it would be difficult to send her to the basement after she recovered.
Zhang Yuelu was halfway through her words, lowering her head to breathe in the aroma. Kuimulang took over the topic and continued, "We only need four people to attack the center of the formation and gain a foothold for a while, and then we can seize the formation for our use."
After saying this, he looked at the crowd and asked, "Which warrior would like to recommend himself?"
No one answered.
"Let me go first."
After a while, Lou Jingou stepped forward first and looked at Lu Bei with a smile: "Where is Xinyue Fox? At this point, are you still planning to stay out of this?"
We have no grudge against each other, why are you targeting our leader everywhere
Lu Bei raised his hand and touched his chin, standing beside Lou Jingou with a sinister look on his face. Seeing this, the loyal Di Tu He decisively followed and came behind Lu Bei.
Three missing one.
The vacant position was filled by Wei Yueyan.
The four people who would attack the center of the formation were selected, and among the remaining four, Kui Mulang and Zhang Yuelu recuperated for a while, one holding a compass and the other holding a formation map, and were responsible for covering the four warriors.
Lu Bei was disdainful in his heart. These seven Xun Yus couldn't even put together a decent magic weapon. Who were they performing for
Thinking of this, he took out a black long sword, named Wuchang, which he picked up from the Huangji Sect's armory. Based on the principle that one must have a vest when traveling outside, he kept it specially for the sake of appearance.
The chicken will be left for those who are prepared, and now it comes in handy.
Boom—
The sky changed and endless darkness enveloped everything.
In front of the hall, hundreds of soldiers dispersed the bright white light, and were surrounded by dark mist, which turned black along with the sky.
The sudden scene made Lu Bei and others stunned.
Kuimulang's forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly stroked his beard: "No, the formation has changed. Today..."
"There's something strange!"
Boom—
The sky and the earth continued to tremble, and there seemed to be a huge monster wandering in the void outside the domain. In the chaos, a huge face looked down.
The figure has a seductive appearance, neither male nor female, with both male and female features. The eyes are tightly closed vertically, and the holy face is as majestic as a god.
"Immortal?"
