Chapter 525: Fighting Saint Skeleton
Everyone explored the Dan Palace and looted all kinds of valuable treasures. After completing all this, they really had no intention of staying here any longer and immediately left the place.
At this moment, compared to the previous situation, there was a cute little white animal following the crowd.
This little animal was clever and funny, and would make some adorable moves from time to time, which made Xiao Ling and the others laugh, and also added a lot of interesting episodes to the trip.
In the next few days, after the fruitful exploration of the Dan Palace, Xiao Ling and his companions continued to explore many other important places in the ruins, such as the Fighting Skills Palace, the Kung Fu Palace, and other places where precious treasures were hidden. They did not miss any one and searched them all carefully, not letting go of anything that might be of value.
In this ancient Dou Sheng ruins, Xiao Ling and his companions turned the place upside down. As long as they saw something useful, they took it away without exception.
Perhaps those items didn't have much practical use for Xiao Ling and the others, but since they had seen them, why wouldn't they take them? It was just a matter of convenience.
Moreover, this feeling of gaining something through exploration is itself a great pleasure in their experience, which makes everyone feel more satisfied and happy during this journey of exploring the ruins.
As everyone plundered the treasures in the ruins bit by bit, they truly realized that the collection of a Dou Sheng powerful man was so rich that it almost exceeded their previous expectations.
If Xiao Ling had not mastered the amazing method of creating space on his body to store things, and only relied on storage rings to carry these rare items, he would probably have to use more than ten high-level storage rings to pack up all the good things in the ruins and take them away.
With this huge amount of wealth, it would be easy to use it to support a top force that is no weaker than the previous Sifang Pavilion. This shows the high value and large number of these treasures.
In the process of searching for treasures, everyone tacitly chose to start from the marginal areas, and carried out the search step by step and in an orderly manner.
Just like that, as they continued to go deeper, the main hall at the core of this ancient relic finally slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
This main hall is like an old man who has gone through countless years of baptism. It exudes a deep copper-yellow color all over. The color appears more and more ancient and heavy under the polish of time, as if every inch is engraved with the traces of time.
An ancient and mysterious atmosphere slowly diffuses out from under every stone slab under your feet and quietly lingers around. As soon as you get close, you can deeply feel the deep vicissitudes of life that have been silent since ancient times and spanned countless years, as if you were suddenly pulled back to that dusty past.
The hall is vast and boundless, and people standing in it seem as small as insignificant ants.
In the center of the hall, ten huge balls of light were suspended. They were quietly suspended in the air, emitting extremely dazzling light.
But right where the light was brightest, there seemed to be something like a scroll looming, waiting for the right person to unveil its mysterious veil, adding a bit of mysterious charm to the majestic atmosphere of the entire hall, which was intriguing.
When everyone's eyes fell on the ball of light floating in the air, they were instantly attracted and could not move away at all.
The bright light emitted by the ball of light penetrated directly into everyone's hearts, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily ignited with fiery anticipation.
You know, this is the relic left behind by the Fighting Saint, carrying the legend and glory of the Fighting Saint of the past.
Among these light balls that are obviously not simple at first glance, perhaps what is recorded is the coveted heavenly-level fighting skills.
Xiao Ling had known earlier that the real heavenly-level fighting skills were not stored in those light balls, so at this moment he did not have a look of expectation on his face like the other people around him, nor did he have too much reaction to the bright light of the light ball.
He just looked at the ball of light calmly for a few times, his deep eyes were calm and without any emotion.
But after a moment, he naturally shifted his gaze away, and then slowly fixed his sight on the center of the ten light balls.
There, there stood a stone seat quietly, and on the seat, a skeleton radiated a warm jade-white color all over. In this slightly dim hall, it seemed to emit a soft halo, revealing a unique charm.
The skeleton had seals on its hands and sat cross-legged peacefully, like a peerless powerful person who was practicing advanced cultivation. Although he had gone through a long time, he still exuded a majestic aura that no one could underestimate, as if he would wake up from his slumber in the next moment and reproduce his former demeanor that shocked the world.
With just one glance, Xiao Ling instantly recognized that the mysterious and majestic skeleton in front of him was none other than the Fighting Saint Skeleton left behind by the Saint of Creation.
Unconsciously, a blazing flame had quietly climbed and spread in Xiao Ling's pupils.
After all, the skeleton of the Fighting Saint in front of him, whether it is the extraordinary value it contains or the value of the heavenly-level fighting skills related to it, has a fatal attraction that is enough to make anyone who sees it feel endless desire.
And those bright light balls that were suspended in the air before now seemed to be just a means to deceive people. Compared with this truly rare treasure, the Fighting Saint's Skeleton, they were really insignificant.
Xiao Ling's current cultivation has successfully broken through to the realm of Seven-Star Dou Zun, but as time goes by, it becomes more and more difficult to achieve a rapid improvement in cultivation.
Unless one can find a strange fire, and one that ranks quite high on the strange fire list, and devour it, perhaps one can make further progress in cultivation. Apart from that, there seems to be no better way.
However, at this moment, the skeleton of the Fighting Saint in front of him is a great opportunity for Xiao Ling.
If the Dou Sheng marrow contained in the skeleton could be extracted and then carefully refined, Xiao Ling's cultivation would be expected to see a significant improvement within a short period of time.
Seeing that Xiao Ling's eyes were always fixed on the skeleton on the stone platform, Xiao Yixiang and others subconsciously followed his gaze and their eyes fell on the center of the light ball.
Within sight, the skeleton of the Fighting Saint was sitting there quietly, but it seemed to have tremendous power, emitting a strong sense of oppression.
Even if you just glance at it from a distance, it seems as if there is an invisible and powerful force, rushing towards you like a surging wave, rushing straight into people's hearts, making everyone feel awe, and even subconsciously breathing a little lighter.
However, the various experiences in the ruins over the past few days have made everyone realize that these ruins, which seem to be full of treasures, are actually full of dangers and crises.
So at this moment, they did not act rashly, but looked around very carefully, searching vigilantly, trying to see if there were any hidden threats.
At this moment, around the towering stone pedestal, more than a dozen figures slowly came into view.
The figures were all lime-colored, and from a distance, they looked like cold stone sculptures standing there quietly.
Their eyes were closed and they did not move at all, frozen in time in this posture. It was unknown how many long years they had been preserved.
"Is this... a puppet? Is it the same as the Heavenly Demon Puppet?"
Seeing these lifeless figures that looked like stone sculptures, Qing Lin couldn't help but show surprise. He subconsciously lowered his voice and whispered softly with a bit of confusion and curiosity.
"Hmm... and they are quite high-level puppets. This feeling is quite similar to the Heavenly Demon Puppet. If my guess is correct, these dozen puppets should all have the strength of a six or seven-star Dou Zun level."
The Little Medical Fairy nodded slightly, her eyes showing a bit of solemnity, and spoke softly.
Before this, because Xiao Yixiu subdued the Netherworld Poison Fire by chance, she could be considered to have officially possessed the strange fire.
And because of the possession of the strange fire, the Little Medical Fairy is naturally able to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet, and is also quite knowledgeable about this.
Therefore, when facing these puppets in front of her, she had a better understanding than others, and could roughly guess in her heart the extraordinary features of these puppets.
Although these puppets are motionless at this moment, like lifeless statues, that is simply because they have not been triggered yet.
It is not difficult to imagine that once they are activated, they will turn into an extremely powerful force, sweeping in like a surging wave, unstoppable.
Even though Xiao Ling and his group were very powerful, if they really faced them, it would not be easy to get rid of all these puppets. It would definitely take a lot of effort. Everyone's expressions became more and more serious, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.
"Haha, these are all ancient human puppets. They use special means to forcibly extract the souls of strong people from the human body, and then seal them in the body of this puppet. After such a complicated and cruel process, the puppets are finally created."
Xiao Ling had known about this ancient human puppet before, so he naturally had more information. At this moment, he stood aside and added slowly,
"They are not as simple as ordinary puppets. Not only do they have their own intelligence and can think and judge like living people, but they can also perform fighting skills. Such abilities make them much more difficult than ordinary puppets."
Xiao Ling was really interested in this magical method of refining ancient puppets.
He also knew in his heart that the refining method was most likely hidden in those light balls, and there should be detailed records inside. He would definitely find a way to get it later.
After hearing Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian's explanation, everyone was surprised. Even Zi Yan, who was usually fearless, changed her expression slightly.
Not to mention Qing Lin and Medusa, even Zi Yan had not expected that the dozen or so puppets in front of them actually each had the strength comparable to that of a six or seven-star Dou Zun. What was even more unexpected was that they could also perform fighting skills.
Such strength is truly too astonishing. If they were released into the wild, even in Zhongzhou where many experts gather and where the forces are complicated, perhaps only a few established forces would be able to contend with them.
"So what should we do next? Do you want me to directly unlock the seal of this space in front of us?"
As Zi Yan spoke, she stretched out her hand and gently touched the transparent yet extremely solid space barrier in front of her.
"Girl, you are still so anxious, but you can't be careless like before."
Xiao Ling had a doting smile on his face, and gently reached out his hand to rub Zi Yan's soft hair.
Then he chuckled and slowly moved his eyes away from Zi Yan, turning to look at the others. His expression became serious, and he said in a steady tone:
"Next, if we want to obtain the treasures in this relic, we will inevitably have to compete with those dozen ancient human puppets. Everyone should be prepared in advance."
After hearing what Xiao Ling said, the few people's originally relaxed expressions suddenly became serious.
Although they encountered some minor problems along the way when exploring this ancient ruins before, it was generally smooth. Those minor setbacks hardly caused any obstacles in the face of their powerful strength. Because of this, everyone more or less relaxed their vigilance.
However, at this moment, after hearing Xiao Ling's reminder, everyone suddenly woke up as if from a dream and became fully alert.
They all knew very well that this ancient relic contained not only coveted opportunities, but also dangers that could arise at any time.
Xiao Yixian took a few quick steps and followed Xiao Ling, and asked softly, "Xiao Ling, what should we do specifically? These dozen puppets are not easy to deal with. Do I need to take action? Although there are a lot of these puppets, I should still be able to hold them back."
"Next, Xian'er and I will be the main force to deal with the dozen puppets." Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his eyes still calm, and then ordered in an orderly manner,
After a slight pause, Xiao Ling turned his gaze towards Qing Lin and Medusa.
"Qinglin, Medusa, the two of you just need to help us."
If Xiao Ling tried his best, it would be no problem for him to deal with these puppets.
However, as the saying goes, after a long absence from the battlefield, this encounter is a perfect opportunity for everyone to stretch their muscles.
Furthermore, after Qinglin was promoted to Dou Zun, she still lacked practical combat experience. This battle could serve as a chance for her to hone her skills and train herself.
Chapter 526: Fierce Battle with Puppet
After hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, Medusa and Qing Lin looked at each other, saw serious looks in each other's eyes, and then nodded in agreement.
"understood."
Zi Yan listened to Xiao Ling assigning tasks to everyone in an orderly manner, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear her own arrangements, and she immediately began to murmur in her heart.
Her big eyes flickered, full of curiosity and doubt. She took a few steps forward, grabbed Xiao Ling's wrist, shook it, and asked in a tender voice:
"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, they all have things to do, what about me? What about me? What should I do? Don't leave me behind."
Miss Zi Yan's strength is very powerful. Should she be left as a boring bystander? This is too boring.
"Haha, of course I won't forget you, girl." Seeing Zi Yan's anxious and puzzled look, Xiao Ling chuckled and pinched her cheeks that still had some baby fat, then said with a smile,
"Your mission is very important. While we are holding back these dozen puppets, you will be responsible for collecting all the treasures in the light balls. You have such a strong grasp of the power of space, so a mission of this level should be easy for you, right?"
When Zi Yan heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and her slight disappointment immediately disappeared. She jumped excitedly and said:
"Hey, Xiao Ling, this is a good mission. I promise to complete it perfectly. None of the treasures in the light balls will escape. I will keep an eye on them later. Once you have detained the puppets, I will start immediately."
After giving instructions to everyone, without any further delay, Xiao Ling took a step forward with a serious expression, and lightly touched the transparent yet solid space barrier in front of him with his fingers.
Then, his mind moved, and the powerful force of space in his body slowly spread out along his fingertips and slowly penetrated into the barrier.
The space barrier that was previously extremely solid and blocked the main hall like a barrier, instantly changed after Xiao Ling's action.
First, fine cracks appeared on the barrier. Then, the cracks spread rapidly, and the entire barrier broke like a mirror. With a "crash", it shattered into countless crystal fragments and dissipated into the air.
At the same time, at the moment when the space barrier that separated everyone completely disappeared, the ten light balls in the hall suddenly trembled violently as if some mechanism was triggered.
In an instant, a blindingly strong light burst out from the ball of light. The light was like a series of scorching suns shining at the same time, instantly filling the entire hall and making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.
In this extremely bright light, the scroll that was originally hidden in the ball of light turned into streams of light and rushed out from the ball of light at an extremely fast speed.
For a moment, streams of light were everywhere, weaving and interweaving in the air above the hall, making people feel dazzled.
As the scroll flew out, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became tense.
