C2044 Secret Passage
C2044 Secret Passage
This caused Elder Wang and the others to let out a sigh of relief.
However, their eyebrows were still knitted tightly, because Lin Long was still struck by the remnant force that erupted from the fierce beast's body.
Lin Long was immediately sent flying.
Fortunately, in the next moment, Lin Long actually stood up.
It was actually fine like this! Such a scene naturally caused Elder Wang and the others to sigh endlessly.
They knew, that if they were in Lin Long's situation, even if they were affected by the afterenergy, they would definitely die on the spot.
It seemed like the Lin Gongzi had a powerful rune robe, they thought to themselves.
They naturally did not know that the reason why Lin Long could withstand such an attack was entirely because of their powerful body technique.
After confirming that Lin Long was alright, Elder Wang and the others started to fight with the remaining four fierce beasts. After losing one, the strength of the four fierce beasts were obviously more than half of their original strength.
And at this time, they also clearly saw that these vicious beasts were indeed not living vicious beasts. They were clearly crafted from some sort of special wood.
Seeing this point, they naturally could not help but sigh, because Lin Long had long seen through this point.
At this time, Lin Long was meditating and cultivating. After he climbed up from the ground a moment ago, he immediately took a top-quality healing medicine and meditated to heal his injuries.
Because he knew that the remaining four fierce beasts were not a match for Elder Wang and the others.
Seeing them approach, Lin Long opened his eyes.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Elder Wang asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Lin Long shook his head and stood up as he spoke.
Seeing that he was fine, Elder Wang and the others let out a sigh of relief.
After that, Lin Long walked over to the place where the five fierce beasts were guarding. In his opinion, if there really was a secret passage leading to the Northern Palace, then it should be here.
Thus, he naturally began to carefully examine it.
Not only him, Elder Wang and the others also came over to carefully check.
After a while, Elder Wang and the others frowned because they couldn't see anything.
Only Lin Long stood in place, as if he was thinking about something.
After half an incense worth of time, Lin Long suddenly moved. He took out the other rune sword on his body, and then, consecutively used a few swords to attack the floor tiles in front of him.
As he struck out with his final sword, there was a loud 'bang' as the green tiles in front of him suddenly exploded. After the tiles exploded, 'ka ka' sounds could be heard coming from the ground.
Amidst these sounds, a hole opened up on the ground in front of them. Everyone looked towards the opening and found a flight of stairs leading downwards.
"It seems like this is the secret passage to the northern palace!" Yao Lei couldn't help but say happily.
"It hasn't been clarified yet, so it's hard to say, but the probability of it being the secret passage is very high." Elder Wang said.
"Let's go in." Lin Long said.
After saying that, he directly walked down. Before this, he naturally circulated his Spiritual Sense to investigate and discovered that there was no danger down below.
Upon seeing him enter, Elder Wang and the others hurriedly followed behind him.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the end of the stairs. Suddenly, they saw a fifty meter wide and thirty meter high tunnel in front of them. This tunnel was extremely straight and looked extremely smooth.
Lin Long did not speak, and walked forward with large strides.
Although Elder Wang and the others didn't sense any danger, they still hurriedly followed behind him.
After walking for a while, they noticed a wooden sign beside them. The sign said, "Secret Road of the North West, with the tunnels of the West and the North."
Seeing this, Hall Master Xing couldn't help but say, "It looks like this really is the secret passageway to the north."
"It should be." Elder Wang and the others also nodded in agreement.
"However, this secret passage doesn't seem to be dangerous. I feel that something is amiss." Yao Lei said on the side.
"It's just that there doesn't seem to be any danger at the moment. Who knows, there might be some danger waiting for us in a bit." Yang Sheng said.
"Alright, let's stop talking. Let's continue moving forward." Lin Long said at this time.
Hearing Lin Long's words, these people naturally did not dare to speak anymore, and silently followed behind Lin Long.
After walking for an hour, a ferocious beast suddenly appeared in front of them. This fierce beast was a black panther.
Looking at the black panther, Elder Wang and the others' expressions couldn't help but change. This was because they could feel the aura of a fifth level vicious beast from this black panther.
"This is probably a fifth-level vicious beast!" Yao Lei couldn't help but say.
Hearing his words, the rest focused their gazes on Lin Long. They had already completely trusted Lin Long, and only Lin Long had dared to say that he was a level 5 beast.
"That's right, this is a rank 5 beast." Lin Long nodded.
These words immediately caused the hearts of Elder Wang's group of five to turn cold.
"Why is this black panther standing there like those five vicious beasts, not attacking us?" Afterwards, Hall Master Xing asked doubtfully.
If it was an ordinary fierce beast, they would have let out a few roars at them no matter what.
"Is this also a rune beast?" Elder Wang could not help but say.
"It is indeed a rune beast." Lin Long immediately confirmed.
The experienced Lin Long could tell at a glance that the black panther in front of him was a Runic Beast.
He had carefully looked at the runes on the beast that was knocked down just now, but he realised that the runes on it were too incomplete, there were no books or knowledge on it, he was simply unable to comprehend anything from them, thus Lin Long gave up on studying these runes.
Although being able to create such a rune beast would definitely be a great help to Lin Long, but because of this reason, he could only give up.
"If it's a level 5 rune beast, we're not its match at all." After which, Yang Sheng couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Not only him, Elder Wang and the other three also frowned.
Previously, Lin Long had only been able to defeat those five fierce beasts because he had found a flaw in the combined attack of those five fierce beasts. But this was a level five fierce beast, how could there be any flaw?
"Try attacking it first." Lin Long said at this time.
It seemed that the Lin Gongzi was looking for the weak point of this Rune Beast. Hearing Lin Long's words, Elder Wang and the others suddenly had this thought.
Although they followed Lin Long's instructions to activate the Ice Cold Talisman paper to deal with the beast.
Once the five cold talismans were activated, waves of cold air attacked the vicious beast.
But in the next moment, an even more powerful cold talisman appeared from the body of this vicious beast. It immediately crushed the cold energy released by Elder Wang's group of five.
Seeing that something was wrong, Elder Wang and the others hurriedly retreated. Only after they had retreated a certain distance did the icy aura that the black panther had emitted disappear. This caused them to let out a sigh of relief.
After this attempt, their gazes were all focused on Lin Long, to see if Lin Long had found a way.
"Unexpectedly, Lin Long shook his head and said," It doesn't seem to be able to deal with it the way it dealt with those five fierce beasts. "
"Then what should we do?" Hearing this, Elder Wang and the others began to worry.
"You guys try to learn the combination of those five beasts." Lin Long said.
"Are we going to learn that combination attack?" Hearing Lin Long's words, Elder Wang and the others were stunned.
They thought Lin Long was not stupid, because just now, they were only battling those five fierce beasts, and did not learn anything from them.
"Those cold runes on the five beasts' ground were the combination of their attacks. Although it looks messy, after observing them, I managed to straighten out the combination and obtained the combination of their attacks." Lin Long smiled indifferently.
He had asked Elder Wang and the others to try out different attacks from different directions. In addition to searching for flaws, he also asked Elder Wang and the others to try out the combination attack technique.
No way, he could even comprehend a combination attack like that? Hearing Lin Long's words, Elder Wang and the others could not help but exclaim.
Lin Long was able to do this not only because he had good observation skills, but also because he was familiar with the art of joint attacks. Otherwise, if it was someone else, even if they were extremely intelligent, they would still not be able to learn the technique.
However, in order to determine if this combination attack was correct, Elder Wang and a few others would need to test it.
"Alright, I will now tell you about the combination. All of you, listen carefully." Lin Long said.
Then, he began to teach them this combination attack.
After teaching them for half a day, Elder Wang and the five others finally had an understanding of this combination attack technique. After half a day of experimentation, they were finally able to use this combination attack technique.
Even though it seemed like a day, if it was anyone else, they might not be able to achieve such results in half a year.
It could be said that if the person who created this joint attack knew that Lin Long was able to do this in such a short amount of time, he would probably be so shocked that he would open the coffin.
This was also the reason why Lin Long was so experienced.
Having mastered this combination of attacks, Elder Wang's group of five naturally began to rub their hands together. They wanted to deal with the rune beast in front of them.
Lin Long immediately said, "Alright, you all can deal with this rune beast!"
Hearing his words, Elder Wang's group of five immediately rushed in front of the black panther.
Afterwards, they all took out their level four Ice Talisman Paper and activated it. In a short period of time, waves of coldness would immediately attack the black panther.
At the same time, a wave of ice-cold energy also returned from the black panther's body.
Elder Wang's group of five thought that they could immediately crush this black panther. However, as time passed, their expressions immediately became ugly.
This was because the cold energy emitted by the black panther was clearly above theirs. Although it was nothing much in a short period of time, they would inevitably be at a disadvantage as time passed.
In other words, they couldn't do anything to this black panther.
Lin Long knew that he could only temporarily abandon Elder Wang and the others.
He immediately said, "If you delay the black panther, I'll charge straight over."
Elder Wang and the others were also aware of this point, and immediately nodded their heads, "Lin Gongzi, it was held up by us." |
Lin Long did not hesitate at all and directly rushed forward.
When it passed by the Rune Beast, it clearly wanted to stop Lin Long.
However, because it was being held up by Elder Wang and the others, it had no way of stopping them. It could only watch as Lin Long left.
After circling around the black panther, Lin Long naturally became more cautious. He was afraid that there would be another runic beast like this in front of him.
However, he did not expect that when he reached the end of the passage, he would not encounter any more dangers.
Even so, Lin Long was secretly glad. He knew that if he did not comprehend the art of combination attacks, he would not be able to avoid the Rank 5 Rune Beast.
The end of the passage seemed to be a dead end, but after some observation, Lin Long still found a mechanism.
After punishing this mechanism, the wall in front of him immediately opened up and a staircase that led upwards appeared.
After using his mind consciousness to check and make sure that there were no dangers on this flight of stairs, Lin Long then walked up with large strides.
After passing through these stairs, he discovered that he had arrived at a rather exquisite stone house.
Before he could take a good look, a rune beast jumped out from behind the stone table in the middle of the room.
This rune beast was plump and looked like a wild boar. Although it was a wild boar, it had the strength of a fifth level vicious beast.
Lin Long knew that he was no match for it.
Fortunately, the beast did not attack him after it jumped out.
At this time, Lin Long finally realised that there was a book on the stone table. The surface of the book had turned slightly yellow, and it seemed to be some kind of secret manual.
Lin Long looked to his right and saw a door.
This should be the northern palace, Lin Long thought.
However, he had no way of confirming this before opening the stone door.
Before he left, Lin Long naturally wanted to obtain the secret scripture.
However, what made him depressed was that the moment he got close to the stone table, the wild boar blocked his path, even if he changed directions.
Clearly, this wild boar was protecting the book.
Lin Long knew that he was not a match for the wild boar, so he temporarily gave up on trying to snatch the book from the boar, and walked in front of the stone door instead.
After pushing open the stone door, he was sure that he had come to the northern palace.
They thought that the outside world was obviously a magnificent hall.
This hall was similar to the one in the west, but it was even more dazzling. The things inside were all carved out of a type of rock that emitted a golden light.
In comparison, the stone house that Lin Long just walked out of looked extremely simple.
There was another difference, and that was that there were no Runic Beasts in the middle of the Main Palace. Although there were no Runic Beasts, Lin Long felt a bone chilling sensation at the center of the Main Palace.
Lin Long felt that if he walked there, he would definitely be frozen into an ice sculpture.
It would be fine if he did not go over, but to cultivate the knowledge related to the Level 5 Ice Talisman Paper on the surrounding walls. Lin Long made this decision in his heart.
With this thought, he immediately walked to a wall.
Just like the hall in the west, there were many words and runes engraved on the walls.
