Gao Wu: My Dragon Valley System

Chapter 106 Two light gates!

The breeze is blowing and the grass and trees are swaying.

Along with bursts of rustling sounds, the iron chains connecting the suspended mountains were also seen shaking gently.

"This relic is very old, and it has been sealed for thousands of years. The iron chain has not decayed or broken yet. And it seems to be used to fix these suspended mountains. I guess the material is quite extraordinary."

At this time, Zhang Junmo appeared on the top of an unfamiliar mountain.

The iron chain connecting the mountain was inserted into the ground not far from him.

So Zhang Junmo approached the chain curiously and couldn't help but touch it.

Hmm...it feels extremely hard to the touch, and the surface is smooth and a little cold.

It’s really good stuff!

However, this thing looked too big. Not to mention the quality of the material, the size and weight alone were not something he could covet.

"Forget it, let's look at something else!"

Zhang Junmo withdrew his hand, smacked his lips with some regret, and then turned his gaze to the front.

"When a sect is facing a catastrophe, there's no telling how many good things will be left."

“I wonder if there will be any magical weapons or elixirs.”

Divine weapons and treasures are used in battle to enhance strength.

Pills can be used to increase cultivation, strengthen the body, and even improve aptitude!
These are rare good things, and they are extremely important resources for both individuals and large organizations like Longting.

At this time, Zhang Junmo was unharmed, and all the injuries from the previous battle with the illusory figure seemed to have disappeared.

All this confirmed Zhang Junmo's guess.

The illusion at the beginning and the illusory figure later were both a kind of trial.

The illusion should be a test of the mind.

The next step is a test of strength.

If you defeat the illusory figure, you will be able to learn a martial art and receive a reward for your cultivation.

Just now, a complete set of illusion sword techniques appeared in Zhang Junmo's mind.

Compared with what he deduced himself, the extra information about the skills in his mind was more complete in details.

However, Zhang Junmo still prefers the illusion sword technique that he derived himself, because it suits him better.

This phantom sword technique is a yellow-level skill, and its strongest strike can double or even triple the attack power.

Compared to skills, two or three times the attack is actually not that strong.

However, the advantage of this sword technique is that it improves Zhang Junmo's sword skills and the attack power of each sword.

In other words, it means increasing the damage of your basic attack through skills.

Zhang Junmo walked to the main hall on the top of the mountain.

Like other places, the hall in front of us is also in ruins.

However, most of the load-bearing structures of the hall were still preserved, so it did not collapse.

However, Zhang Junmo's gaze did not fall on the main hall, but instead focused on the two stone sculptures in front of the hall door.

These are two lifelike stone sculptures of Qilin!

Even the details of the patterns on the scales on the body are carved clearly.

If the stone sculpture had color, people might mistakenly think it was a living thing.

“It’s definitely alive!”

However, when he thought of this, Zhang Junmo's mouth twitched, and he quickly took a few steps back to distance himself from the stone sculpture.

According to his years of experience in reading novels, the more realistic the stone carvings are in ancient tombs and ruins, the more likely they are to be living creatures!

The bigger the stone sculpture, the more dangerous it is!

The stone sculpture in front of me is three or four meters high and lifelike, it has both of these qualities!

Therefore, he judged that as long as he got close, he would definitely be attacked by the stone sculpture!

Just as he stepped back, he happened to see the stone sculpture on the right, and his eyes trembled.

The vibration was very inconspicuous, but who knows how long this stone sculpture has been there, and a lot of dust has accumulated on it, so the dust will fall off with the slightest vibration.

It was clearly still a stone sculpture, but Zhang Junmo saw a hint of pity in the other's eyes.

It seemed to be because he had just taken a few steps back.

Thinking of this, Zhang Junmo couldn't help but take a few steps back again.

It seemed that Zhang Junmo's action made the stone sculpture feel that he realized it was alive, so it simply stopped acting and pounced directly!
boom!
The heavy stone sculpture jumped, making a loud noise.

Then there was a continuous low friction sound.

That was the sound of the stone surface rubbing against each other at the joints of the stone sculpture.

Amidst the flying dust, the stone sculpture suddenly rushed towards Zhang Junmo.

Although the latter had expected this, he was still extremely shocked when he saw such a huge stone sculpture come to life.

The next moment, the stone sculpture that was running towards them raised one of its front paws and slapped Zhang Junmo's head.

Zhang Junmo dodged to the side as the giant claw slashed across his side. The dull whistling sound made his scalp tingle.

If this claw hit him, wouldn't he die on the spot?
"Again!"

Just after dodging the claw, Zhang Junmo's expression changed again.

The stone sculpture's next claw followed closely!

The original stone sculptures had not moved for thousands of years, so their movements were stiff.

But within this short period of time, the stone sculpture suddenly became flexible.

When one claw misses, another one comes.

Zhang Junmo kept dodging and looked very embarrassed.

He didn't dare to be careless at all. How much force could one claw have to put on such a huge stone sculpture?
Anyway, he is definitely stronger than him! And much stronger!
"Don't hit it head-on!"

A black sword appeared in Zhang Junmo's hand.

He chose to take a roundabout approach and fight guerrilla warfare!

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance.

Under the magic sword technique, Zhang Junmo's sword seemed to have several clones.

Make the stone sculpture unable to distinguish the real attack!

However, after a brief fight, the stone sculpture simply gave up trying to distinguish Zhang Junmo's attack and instead went straight to the face to confront him!

It intends to crush with its strength.

"Damn it! I can't cut it!"

The black sword chopped on the stone sculpture, and due to the sharpness of the sword, it was able to leave marks.

But Zhang Junmo's strength was insufficient, and those cracks were insignificant compared to the huge size of the stone sculpture.

boom!
However, at this moment, another loud noise was heard.

Zhang Junmo's face changed.

The other stone statue also came to life!
This time Zhang Junmo didn't dare to get entangled with the other party anymore.

"We must fight quickly!"

From the previous fight, Zhang Junmo guessed that the stone sculpture's realm should be at the first level of the Spirit Refining Realm.

However, the opponent's body is heavy, and his attack power is obviously much stronger than his realm, at least comparable to the third or fourth level.

This thing is hard to deal with one-on-one, but there are two of them in front of you.

Zhang Junmo clenched his palms suddenly, and a sword light flashed on the black sword.

Skill, Moonlight Fragment!

Three crescent-shaped sword energies spun wildly towards the stone sculpture that appeared at the beginning.

At the same time, Zhang Junmo turned around and rushed towards the stone sculpture that came to life.

The huge stone claw fell down, but this time Zhang Junmo did not retreat.

Instead, he charged forward, his speed increasing dramatically.

At the same time, the long sword in Zhang Junmo's hand slashed diagonally towards the lower left.

A sword shadow flashed by, and it directly knocked down the stone sculpture and cut off its claws!

The stone sculpture obviously didn't expect this to happen, and there was a flash of horror in its eyes.

However, Zhang Junmo's attack did not stop!

I saw him turning his body, and slashing with the sword in his hand again, creating a trail of sword shadows!
When Zhang Junmo passed by the stone sculpture, the stone sculpture suddenly turned into pieces all over the ground with a crash.

These three consecutive slashes were naturally not ordinary attacks.

But it's combos, charge slash and charge combo!
These are the two new skills that Zhang Junmo unlocked and activated for the Swordmaster profession after continuous upgrades.

Needs to be released during the charge.

Charge and slash!
Attack power 750%!

Charge and combo!

Attack power 900%!

The damage caused by these two combined attacks is naturally extremely huge!

Although the attacks of the two skills cannot be completely superimposed, their power is still strong.

With the help of the sharp effect of the black sword given by the system, the stone sculpture was finally chopped into pieces.

One stone sculpture shattered, and the other one seemed to sense something.

Previously, Zhang Junmo's moonlight fragments forced it to retreat again and again.

Because of the huge gap in realm, the sword energy of the moonlight fragments did not break the stone sculpture into pieces.

However, it left three hideous cracks in front of it!
"Perhaps you were very powerful long ago, but now the entire ruins have become dilapidated over countless years. How much power do you still retain?"

"Your master has long passed away, and the place you guarded has turned into ruins. You have fulfilled your duty well enough. Rest in peace!"

Zhang Junmo didn't know what kind of existence the other party was, or whether it was a living creature.

However, it is somewhat moving that the other party turned into a stone sculpture to guard this hall for at least a thousand years.

Perhaps this stone sculpture was very powerful back then, so powerful that it could kill itself with just a glance.

But that was in the past, not now.

Three consecutive cuts!
The black sword slashed continuously, aiming at the three cracks left by the moonlight fragments, and directly chopped the stone statue into pieces.

Two streams of white mist rose up and penetrated into Zhang Junmo's body.

"Another reward!"

A look of joy appeared on Zhang Junmo's face.

"Is it time to level up again? If I can level up every time I successfully pass a test..."

Zhang Junmo glanced at the countless mountains suspended in the air around him, his eyes filled with ecstasy.

It won’t reach the maximum level directly, right?
Even if you can't reach the maximum level, leveling to level 30 or 40 will be fine!

As Zhang Junmo thought about it, his mouth was almost drooling.

However, reality soon shattered his dream.

The energy was still pure, but much less than before.

"That doesn't make sense! These two stone sculptures are much stronger than the phantom figure from before. Why is the reward so different?"

Perhaps it was very different from what he had originally expected, and Zhang Junmo was unable to accept this result for a while.

But he soon figured it out.

The illusory figure before was the first to receive a reward, perhaps like a novice gift pack.

Perhaps this relic regarded me as a middle-level disciple, and the sect disciples who passed the trial for the first time might be rewarded with a level increase. Looking at the system panel, the experience bar increased by 20%.

"A cloud of white mist contains about 10% of the energy of experience?"

Although it is far from what I imagined, it is much better than the daily experience increase limit of 15%.

"There's no need to be too greedy. After all, the improvement I've gained in just a short while has already exceeded seven or eight days of hard training."

"Based on my experience so far, there should be tests on other mountains as well."

"Except for the illusion that everyone encounters at the beginning, there may be rewards for subsequent tests."

"However, when I defeated that phantom figure on that mountain before, in addition to the cultivation reward, I also learned a sword technique. These two stone sculptures are much stronger than that phantom figure, so there should be other rewards, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Junmo raised his head and his gaze turned to the collapsed gate in front of the hall.

“Will the reward be inside?”

The stone sculpture guards this hall, so there must be something inside the hall that it is guarding.

Zhang Junmo thought for a moment, then walked into the hall.

The stone sculpture had been defeated by him, so there shouldn't be anything left inside.

After all, so much time has passed and the hall has become ruins.

Even if there are any mechanisms inside, they may have become ineffective.

However, Zhang Junmo was also worried that the treasures that might be inside would also disappear over the long years.

For example, magical weapons, or elixirs?

Especially elixirs.

If this thing is not preserved by a special treasure, the medicinal power will dissipate quickly.

After thousands of years, even the magical weapons and treasures might not be preserved intact in this damaged relic space, let alone elixirs?

After entering the hall with a nervous mood, what I saw was an empty place.

There was nothing else except broken stone pillars and some collapsed walls.

There was just a box placed on the innermost steps of the hall.

Zhang Junmo approached slowly with a little caution.

Although it looks safe here, it's better to be cautious.

However, no danger appeared until he stood in front of the box, which made him feel relieved.

There was a squeak.

The wooden box opened, and at this moment, Zhang Junmo quickly dodged to the side.

After seeing that there was no mechanism inside the wooden box, Zhang Junmo let down his guard.

However, when he looked inside the box, his face turned dark.

"What the hell is this?"

I saw a round metal plate lying alone in the box.

It looked like a bronze plate, only half the size of a palm.

"Could it be that this is the bronze medal that the owner of this hall won after participating in a competition?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Junmo's face suddenly looked a little strange.

But soon the expression on his face faded.

"An ordinary bronze plaque shouldn't be placed in a special box."

"The hall is empty except for this box. I guess this bronze plaque must be something special."

Zhang Junmo picked up the bronze plate and looked at it carefully. There was nothing special about it.

Although there are some patterns on it, they are just a few strokes and there is no apparent meaning.

"It shouldn't be a rune or array pattern."

Zhang Junmo muttered something quietly, but he wasn't sure.

After all, with his knowledge, even if there really was some kind of formation hidden on it, he wouldn't be able to see it.

"Forget it, let's keep it for now! Maybe it will be useful later."

To be on the safe side, Zhang Junmo put it into the system backpack.

The system backpack now has only ten slots in total, which is a bit small.

Zhang Junmo was thinking that the rewards for the main quest should include unlocking more system backpacks!
The system backpack has 9999 slots per page, and each slot can store units of the same item.

Zhang Junmo is not quite sure what this unit is currently measured.

But it shouldn’t be too little.

At least it should be kilograms, right?

It would be even more exciting if it were tons.

By then, he will have a four or five-page system backpack, which can hold more than one million tons of beef, mutton and pork at any time.

Even if I don’t practice cultivation in the future, it would be nice to be a fresh meat tycoon.

Zhang Junmo smiled and shook his head, dispelling his wild thoughts.

"It's time to go out!"

Walking out of the hall, Zhang Junmo was somewhat surprised to see two light gates appearing on the bluestone road in front of him!
"Another portal?"

"Why are there two doors this time? Do you want me to choose?"

Zhang Junmo was just wondering when a picture suddenly appeared in the two light gates in front of him.

The images behind the two light gates are not the same.

Through the door on the left, Zhang Junmo saw the hall where everyone was at the beginning when they woke up from the illusion.

A figure in black combat uniform appeared from the door on the right.

The man was currently fighting with an illusory figure.

The illusory figure was using a kind of boxing technique.

Under the continuous attacks of the illusory figure, the man was forced to retreat again and again, with bloodstains on his body.

"Are you going to be unable to hold on?"

Zhang Junmo frowned slightly.

This person seems to be a psychic, not a cultivator, and has not experienced body training.

Moreover, the supernatural power is not a melee type, so it is difficult to get rid of this illusory figure once it gets close to him.

At this point he was completely defenseless and was about to be completely defeated by the phantom.

Zhang Junmo was not sure whether this illusory figure would threaten the man's life.

Although his injuries had been recovered before, Zhang Junmo was not sure whether it was because of the reward.

If that person's life is in danger, it's no joke.

Lin Heng had repeatedly emphasized to him that there were many dangers in the ruins.

It is very common for people to die in there.

"But this figure looks very strong!"

I don’t know whether the illusory figure corresponds to the tester’s cultivation level.

If I get involved, will that figure become stronger by combining the two people's cultivation, or will it be weakened according to my own cultivation?
Just when Zhang Junmo was still thinking about whether to go over, the picture displayed on the light gate showed that the Dragon Court member was knocked away by a punch, spitting blood, and his eyes were slightly dazed.

Obviously, it has lost its combat effectiveness.

But the illusory figure showed no intention of stopping at all.

"Fuck! Never mind!"

The situation was critical. Zhang Junmo gritted his teeth and went straight into the light gate on the right.

The next moment, Zhang Junmo appeared next to the Dragon Court member.

Before Zhang Junmo could see the situation clearly, he heard a whistling sound in his ears!

Almost subconsciously, Zhang Junmo rolled to the side.

Bang!
A slightly illusory fist hit the bluestone ground where Zhang Junmo was originally standing, creating a big hole in the ground.

"Wow! So fierce!"

When he looked back and saw the big pit, Zhang Junmo's eyelids jumped suddenly.

The pit is nearly one meter in diameter.

You can imagine how powerful that punch just now was.

"Nimma, this strength is already close to that old Xu!"

Zhang Junmo was shocked.

"careful!"

At this moment, the Dragon Court member next to him exclaimed.

Because the illusory figure chased after Zhang Junmo again.

He recognized Zhang Junmo, the boy brought by Lin Heng, who seemed to be a genius sword summoner.

"Damn it!"

He dragged his seriously injured body and rushed towards Zhang Junmo.

He is a late E-level psychic, and this illusory figure is probably at the seventh or eighth level of the Spirit Refining Realm.

Coupled with its almost flawless boxing skills, its combat power is probably not inferior to some ninth-level Spirit Refining Realm warriors!

How could a newcomer contend with such strength?
Even if he is a genius!
However, with his severely injured body, he had no time to catch up!

This made him roar in his heart.

Move quickly!
It's a pity that I don't know how many bones in his body were broken.

There's no point in being anxious.

At the same time, he couldn't understand it.

Why did Zhang Junmo appear here? Just now, there were only him and that phantom figure around.

But this question seems unimportant.

The important thing is, if Zhang Junmo is attacked by that figure in front of him...

He didn't dare to think further.

As a senior, I should take care of the younger generation.

What's more, this kid is a sword summoner.

For the Xiamen Longting Base, this is a rare genius.

Even if all these factors are excluded, Zhang Junmo still has another identity, that is, his comrade-in-arms.

"We must save him!"

The supernatural elements in his body began to surge and his face turned red.

"Just hold on for a moment and let him escape from here!"

It is obvious that this person intends to ignore his physical injuries and forcibly burst out with supernatural powers that exceed his body's endurance limit.

But at this moment, his movements suddenly stopped.

In his shocked and incredible eyes.

The illusory figure was actually cut in half by Zhang Junmo's long sword that was flashing with red runes!

Afterwards, the shadow turned into two balls of white mist and entered the bodies of Zhang Junmo and the Dragon Court member who was still in a daze.
