Chapter 197 - Jadestone Steps
"These jade bricks are also extremely valuable materials? No wonder it still has not melted under the Red Armored Turtle"s demonic flames. Now it"s rich, forget about others, as long as it can take away dozens of them, it"s also a considerable amount of crystal"s income! "
When Li Mu heard that these jade bricks were actually so valuable, he was immediately filled with joy. According to the rumors, each of them were worth more than ten thousand crystal, and not to mention this place was a hundred meter long, there were at least a hundred thousand white jade bricks. If it was a crystal, he would not even dare imagine what would happen if such a large amount of jade bricks were to be exchanged for.
Although the value of these flying snow jades is not low, but I saw it, these jade bricks have been smelted together with a great divine ability, so it"s impossible for you to take them away, because with your current strength, it"s impossible for you to break these flying snow jades, let alone take them away if you can"t break them. Why don"t you tell me what exactly is going on, are you not in Heavenly Demon Valley? Why did we come to such a place? "Luan Tian saw that Li Mu had started to pay attention to these flying snow jades, and directly spoke to strike a blow, then finally asked about the specific circ.u.mstances of Li Mu coming here.
Although these snow jades were worth a lot, if they were not taken away, it would mean that he would not be able to take them away at all. He let out a long sigh, and told her everything that had happened after he had gone into a deep sleep.
As I thought, it"s only been a few days, how did you leave the Heavenly Demon Valley so quickly? The guy on your shoulder is the one who called Xiaotian that?
He instead brought the topic up to the little yellow chicken on Li Mu"s shoulder. Because he directly talked with Li Mu, telepathic transmission, Xiaotian was unable to notice his existence."Yeah, this guy"s speed is surprisingly fast, and he"s also very intelligent. I just don"t know what kind of breed he is."
Li Mu subconsciously looked at Xiao Tian, who was looking at the steel door, on his shoulder, and said with a slight speechlessness."It"s a bit strange. I"ve seen all sorts of rare and precious beasts in this world, but at least I"ve heard most of them. I"ve also seen most of the Monstrous Beast"s diagrams and information, but this chicken on your shoulder, I really can"t recognize what kind of Monstrous Beast it is."
Other than a strand of colorful feathers on top of his head, this fellow is no different from a chicken. Looking at his aura, he can"t even compare to a first grade demonic beast, but according to you, this demon core fragment that has the ability to devour Rank 5 Demonic Beast even with its intelligence is not something an ordinary demonic beast can do. Boy, you might have picked up a treasure here, but this fellow might have a great background!
The Spiritual Sense circled Xiao Tian Xie for a while before speaking in a serious tone."Ji ji!"
Xiao Tian Yin suddenly let out two screams. In a flash, it jumped down from Li Mu"s shoulders and surrounded Li Mu, sizing him up from top to bottom, as if he had discovered something.
"What a guy, he seems to have discovered my existence. Interesting, interesting! To think that a little bean like him could even sense the slight fluctuations coming from my Spiritual Sense. Truly amazing!"
Luan Tian said as he retracted his consciousness from Xiao Tian"s body. He didn"t know whether to laugh or cry.
"You found a treasure? Come on, don"t get me wrong. It was him who picked me up, not me who picked him up. Don"t worry about it for now, just take a good look at this iron gate. What do you think would be behind this gate if it could be forged with the precious black iron gate that you mentioned? Also, what"s going on with these runes? Why did they come together to form the word "Lightning"? "Li Mu no longer bothered to discuss the origins of the Laughing Heaven and instead directly asked about the matter of the steel door.
It"s useless even if I look at it. This Black Eerie Swamp is truly tough enough, not to mention you, even I couldn"t do anything about it when I was at my peak. As for these runes, if I guessed correctly, they should have been placed by a great divine ability user as well. As for why a lightning character would appear on the surface of the runes, I think that it"s because this great ability user cultivates a lightning attribute cultivation technique.
Ye Zichen raised the black iron gate in front of him and replied helplessly."AHH!" Saint? Oh my G.o.d, no wonder you have such a large sum of money and forge a door out of black iron and snow jade, but if you cannot open it then it is useless. With such a large sum of money on the outside, you should be able to hide behind the door even more, but unfortunately, you cannot enter. "
Li Mu sighed helplessly. He was extremely curious about the secret door, and the reason for his curiosity was very simple. This was the first time he had encountered something that even this insufferable Demon Lord couldn"t do anything about.If you really want to try, with your pure cultivation level, you will never be able to open the door. You can try using your Zhan Qianqiu"s dagger, since I have seen many things that I cannot see through, maybe I can try using it! "Su Yun said in a low voice.
He only knew that Li Mu was purposely trying to provoke him with his words, and he instantly exposed the reason behind Li Mu"s provocation."Zhan Qianqiu? Yeah, not long ago, this treasure even helped me once, so let me try! "
After hearing what Luan Tian said, Li Mu"s spirits were immediately raised. He took out Zhan Qianqiu and walked up to the metal door, and tentatively used Zhan Qianqiu to scratch the metal door a little. What made Li Mu feel excited was, this time, Zhan Qianqiu did not disappoint him, he actually left a visible mark on the metal door."Haha, the heavens truly have eyes, it is truly useful, this Zhan Qianqiu is really a treasure, I have never seen a treasure that can"t be chopped off!"
After leaving a mark on the steel door, Li Mu mumbled to himself excitedly, he then raised Zhan Qianqiu"s blade and stabbed towards the steel door, he planned to slowly leave a hole in the iron door so that he could enter it himself, but before Li Mu could even forcefully insert his dagger into the black iron door, a strange scene suddenly occurred.
The iron door that was originally standing motionlessly suddenly reacted, the runes on its surface rolled around, and finally formed a fierce azure character, which caused Li Mu to be dumbstruck, and the gigantic black iron door automatically rose up."This... It"s really strange, could it be that this door still has its own consciousness, could it be that it predicted that Zhan Qianqiu would be able to harm it, and gave way to me on its own? "
Li Mu looked at the black iron door that was rising up into the air and could not help but mutter in shock.
"There"s nothing strange about that. To be able to forge a gate in the Black Eerie Swamp, one must have injected a Spirit Communication Spirit into the steel door. This is something similar to an Artifact Spirit, although it"s been many years, the Spirit Communication Spirit is still able to react to danger a little. Do you want to go in and take a look, or do you want to turn around and leave? "
Looking at the dark tunnel behind the iron gate, Luan Tian asked in bewilderment.
"Of course I"m going in to take a look. I"m not willing to miss such a great opportunity, just from the flying snow jade and black iron door, this place is extraordinary, not to mention that this metal door has opened on its own. Moreover, it is filled with secrets, I have to go in to take a look, muddled sky, your spiritual sense is strong, you might be able to sense something behind this door."
Li Mu did not immediately rush in after seeing the steel door open.
"Brat, do you know why the Snowfly Jade is worth so many crystal? Moreover, the stronger the spiritual sense, the more it is weakened, and the more it is weakened, the more obvious the effect will be on it. Since your cultivation is low, naturally, you won"t have much of a reaction, but I am greatly weakened, and the distance that your spiritual sense can extend is not much lower than you. "He helplessly explained that he didn"t know anything about the situation behind the iron gate.
"Forget it, let"s just give it our all. Don"t think that just by revealing the word "fierce" on the door can scare me off. I, Li Mu am not that scared of you!"After Li Mu pondered for a while, he did not act anymore, and directly walked into the black iron gate. Following Li Mu"s entrance, the black iron gate shuddered and fell down, blocking the entrance of the white jade pa.s.sage once again.
"This door is quite interesting, but the words on the door look strange!"Li Mu, who was standing in the pa.s.sage, looked at the black iron door as it descended and muttered to himself. The back of the door was almost identical to the front, and there was also a fierce azure word formed from symbols, causing the entire pa.s.sage to release a strange Qi.
Under the light of the Night Pearl, Li Mu continued to walk forward. Before he had walked ten meters, the straight pa.s.sage in front of him disappeared and was replaced by a flight of jade stairs that extended downwards.
Li Mu didn"t hesitate, and directly walked down the jade stairs."Ji ji!"
Walking down the jade stairs for around a hundred steps, Xiao Tian Yin who was standing on Li Mu"s shoulder suddenly shouted out, seemingly panicking. Li Mu"s face was also extremely ugly, he felt that the temperature in the area had suddenly increased by a lot, and was becoming extremely hot."Mu Xiaozi, seems like there is a fire pulse underground. I wonder where the jade stairs go down, could it be that it directly went through the fire pulse underground?"
Luan Tian felt the sudden rise in temperature and asked nervously.
"I don"t know either, but Luan Tian, don"t you feel that this place is too quiet? There isn"t even a trace of wind. This doesn"t make sense!"
Li Mu continued to walk down, and as he walked, he conversed with Huntian."That"s true. The silence is terrifying. I"ve never encountered such a situation before!"
Luan Tian agreed deeply with Li Mu"s words. He also felt that this place was very strange.Li Mu descended for another five hundred steps, but what made him speechless was that the jade stairs that led underground seemed to have no end. Until now, Li Mu had not gone down to the bottom, and he did not know how deep he went underground, but the only thing that changed was the temperature. As he descended, the blazing temperature grew higher and higher, so high that Li Mu could not help but use true essence to protect his body.
When Li Mu had walked down nearly a thousand steps, a trace of light finally appeared at the end of the pitch-black tunnel. At the same time, a terrifying aura that could take one"s soul away faintly emanated from the end of the tunnel. After sensing this terrifying aura, all the hairs on Li Mu"s body stood up.
