Heaven's Formula

The brute force of the living dead really deserves its reputation!

"What kind of monster is this? Isn't it a stone?" Li exclaimed.

"Sorry, it really didn't respond to Qi before—" Luo said with a slight tone of self-blame, "I couldn't observe the existence of Qi until now. This thing is not a statue, but a living thing."

"It's not your fault." The fox demon shook his ears, "Since it's alive, why not turn it into a dead one?"

"Having said that, this guy's hardness is by no means ordinary." Qian Yan squeezed his fingers, "Even if an alchemist who is good at Gentu technique, his skin would be torn apart after being hit like this, and it didn't even shed a drop of blood."

The monster crawled up with a grin. At this moment, it looked less and less like a statue. The original gray shell began to loosen and turned into strands of rough hair. The beast face was more like a monkey with fangs.

"This guy is too ugly." Li bared his teeth, "He has a monkey-headed face, but his teeth are longer than wild boars."

"What did you say? Its face looks like a monkey?" Luo slightly surprised. "Monkey face, wings, claws... Could it be that this monster is doing something?"

"What's that?" Xia Fan asked.

"A kind of spirit that is so rare that it only exists in legends. It is a species of ape. Its nature is earthquake, and its fur is extremely tough. It can be said that it is invulnerable." Luo said quickly, "I also saw it in a book by chance. , and according to the records in that book... this kind of spirit is cruel and likes to eat people's hearts."

Is earthquake?Xia Fan thought to himself, so didn't the streamer technique just have much effect on it?

At this moment, the monster stood up, grinned and let out a low growl, and the electric light began to flash around it.

"Attention!" Qianyan reminded.

As soon as her words fell, a huge thunderball spewed out from the opponent's mouth, hitting the four of them straight!

Chapter 274

The flying speed of the thunderball is not fast, at least far less than that of ordinary lightning, but it is a bit like ball lightning.

However, Xia Fan obviously wouldn't study what it sprayed out at this time. When Xing Shi launched an attack, Xia Fan had already thrown a copper wire pendant, pulling out a streamer grid between the ground and the four of them.

The thunderball also touched the power grid at this moment!

At any time, electricity always tends to flow in the direction of less resistance.

And the air barrier that had been broken through by the arc light naturally became the best outlet for the thunderball's energy.

Only a bang was heard, and all the electric energy contained in it was directed into the ground, and the scorching air exploded after losing restraint, but for the alchemist, this hot wind had no power.

Xing Shi obviously didn't expect his attack to be resolved so easily, and he was a little dazed for a while.

"I understand!" Li Song let go of his covered ears, "This monster has rough skin and thick flesh, and it's hard to be effective with ordinary attacks. I'm afraid it must be dealt with with fire. This is also the meaning of marking this house as Lihuo—as long as it can Splash fire oil on the opponent, and then ignite it with the Li technique, it should be able to get rid of this monster."

"That's not necessary." Qianyan's long straight black hair gradually stood up, as if born in reverse!While she was speaking, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by several percent, and fine hoarfrost appeared in the air, "It's purely a gamble with your life to light a fire in this kind of place. You'd better not take any of the suggestions from the Privy Council." letter."

"I also agree." Luo stepped forward lightly, and the four dragon scales unfolded behind her one by one, "I have to leave the technique? Even if it is as hard as a rock, there will be a day when dripping water will wear through the rock."

After finishing speaking, the dragon scale roared out, surrounding the spirits and monsters like phantoms!

Under the cutting of the flying blade, Xingshi's hair and sharp claws shot out a large amount of sparks, lighting up almost half of the room.This spectacular scene made Xia Fan's mind conjure up a completely unsuitable but extremely appropriate picture: a coupled machine tool was processing a rough metal ingot.

The monster let out a shrill roar, trying to escape from the cage of sharp blades, but frost rose from the ground, freezing its feet firmly on the ground, unable to leave even a single step.

After a while, the splattered hair turned into blood.

After that, there are pieces of meat and bones.

After only a quarter of an hour, Xingshi's cry sank, and finally he stopped struggling.

The dragon scale flew back to Luo Qingqing's side again, and there was not a trace of blood on the thin sword.

But the ghost in front of him completely changed his appearance.

Its figure is still huge, but the outline is no longer complete, but all the protruding parts are basically flattened, and there are deep bone wounds all over the body, and a big hole is gouged out in the chest by the sword blade.

Obviously Luo Weiwei will not show mercy to a spirit that eats people's hearts.

No matter how strong its vitality is, it is impossible to survive at this point.

Xia Fan couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart. Probably the Privy Council also knew that the real enemy could not be stopped by the defense of dead objects alone, so he joined the living defenders.

It's a pity that this spirit seems powerful, but its opponents are not ordinary alchemists—one is a living dead with a lifespan of more than a hundred years, and the other is a newly awakened listener.Under the joint attack of the two, there is no need to pay attention to any technique restraint at all.

When its blood mingled with the large expanse of the floor, everyone heard a slight humming behind them.

The four of them glanced at each other and rushed to the outside of the stone gate.

The passage that disappeared before reappeared in front of my eyes.

But... the path of the passage has changed.

This time, it seems to be going to a lower level.

"Let me go first."

Luo gently led the way into the new passage, followed by the rest of them—about two or three minutes later, everyone felt a sudden light in front of them.

An underground warehouse of nearly [-] square meters appeared in front of the four of them.

It is cylindrical as a whole, about seven or eight meters high, and the wall is made of stone bricks.On these brick walls, many dark door openings can be seen—they should be the exits of other passages.However, judging from the furnishing and state of the room, there is no sign that this place has been invaded.

In other words, since the Privy Council was sealed off, they were the first group of people to arrive at the bottom of the Lubu Hall.

"Are you going the right way this time?" Xia Fan looked at Qianyan.

"It should be right, this is the bottom center of the recording department." The latter confirmed, "Did you see those cabinets? Some important documents will be stored here."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's touch it—no, it's the inspection."

Having said that, Xia Fan has a more urgent job to be done.

He put down his backpack and took out the folded antenna.Time waits for no one—he needs to get the radio out before the bottom layer is breached by more people.

It sounds daunting, but in fact, this kind of place usually has a separate ventilation shaft, otherwise, with a little candle, the bottom floor will be suffocated in a short time.

Following the occasional cool wind, Xia Fan found a ventilation hole blocked by an iron fence.

The next thing is simple, disassemble the fence, make Li into a fox form, set up the antenna all the way to the outside of the wellhead, and connect the vacant part in the middle with copper wire.Finally, choose a hidden location and connect the audio device.

"Okay, just let me do the debugging." Xia Fan stretched out his hand and rubbed Li's ear, "Go and find what you want."

The fox demon showed a disturbed expression.

"Why, you finally have a chance to find the answer, but you are hesitating?"

"I... didn't expect it to be so soon."

She had made plans to invest decades, or even a lifetime.

Because of this, she is not fully prepared for some "possibility".

"No matter what you find, many people will accompany you to bear it." Xia Fan whispered, "You are not the lone ranger who only appeared at night before."

Li stared at him for a moment, then finally nodded, "I'm going."

"Ah."

If the master of the fox demon is really a Qingjian, then he will definitely leave clues in the headquarters, whether it is a directory or a record of events, as long as the name and identity are confirmed, it will not be difficult to follow the clues to find out his whereabouts.

Xia Fan focused his attention on the matter at hand. He increased the power of the audio device step by step, and at the same time repeatedly asked questions into the microphone—in order to avoid noise leakage, he also specially wrapped the loudspeaker with a paper shell and cotton cloth to make a sound. Became a simple earpiece shape.

After trying for about ten minutes, Xia Fan finally heard a different voice.

"Hey... Hey, is this Xia Fan?"

It was as if the princess was sending the message over there, and under his influence, she was already proficient in using the greeting word "Hello".

"That's right, it's me, I can finally get in touch."

"So... heck... where are you now?"

"The Privy Council, the center at the bottom of the Lubu Hall."

"You actually sneaked in?" Ning Wanjun's tone seemed a bit inconceivable, "Even I have never been to that place."

"After all, this place is just an empty shell now. By the way, I don't know where the elves are..."

"Don't worry, I've made arrangements."

Then there was a brief silence on the receiver, and when it rang again, it was replaced by the voice of High Priest Xenia.

"Your Excellency Xia Fan, there are currently four mainstream languages ​​in the West Pole. I have already called all the islanders who can understand them to the villa of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Chapter 275 The hidden treasure

……

This search lasted for a day and two nights.

It has to be said that there are quite a lot of good things hidden in the Privy Council Mansion.

For example, a whole cabinet of magic weapon blueprints.

Xia Fan found that he didn't understand much, but after Qian Yan and Luo Qingnian's analysis, he believed that these magical weapons could be used in personal combat, including lethal and defensive weapons.At the bottom of the cabinet, they also found a set of formation design drawings.

Xia Fan decided to ask Qianyan to reproduce it on the spot, and he could copy as much as he could.

In his opinion, the essence of a magic weapon is a tool that converts qi into energy. Energy can be used to kill enemies, and naturally it can also be used to do other things.It only requires the user to understand its principle before it can be driven, jumping over the gap of the conventional technique of natural attributes, even if the final effect varies from person to person, at least it can achieve a universally applicable effect.

In addition to the secret documents placed in the cabinet, Luo Qingqing also found several secret grids on the wall and on the ground—they also had traps, but they were all easily resolved by the dragon scales.There are many rare things in these dense grids, such as rare meteorites and amber engulfing insects, which can be regarded as powerful medicines that alchemists long for.There are also some gold, silver and jewelry directly, but compared to the previous few items, it is difficult to arouse everyone's interest.

It's a pity that the four of them can only rummage through boxes in the central area.Luo Qingqing can feel that there are more hidden places connected to this place, but he still can't find a way to open the secret passage.

In addition, she found a heavy iron door behind a curtain.

The size of this door is almost the same as that of an ordinary room door. The door is smooth and shiny, and traces of grease wiping can still be seen. It is obviously well maintained.

Luo gently used the dragon scale to insert through the crack of the door, but it was still difficult to penetrate the door, which meant that its thickness was more than half an arm, and it was difficult to penetrate even with a cannon.

After everyone summed it up, Xia Fan took over the work of breaking the door.

After observing the keyhole, he stuffed the antenna into the hole with the remaining piece of copper wire, and then cast a streamer technique.Since it is a keyhole, it must not consider whether the current can be exported smoothly, and every metal contact can form a short circuit.After repeating this for nearly a hundred times, the lock and the bolt were finally melted into a soft semi-solid substance by the high heat brought by the current.

Then he hit hard.

The door suddenly staggered a thin crack.

The people who heard the sound worked together to push open the heavy iron door little by little, and a new small room appeared in everyone's eyes.

It is about five or six meters long and wide. Except for the side of the door, there are three wooden platforms on each of the other three walls, and a transparent crystal box hangs above the wooden platform.

Not every box contained something, or most of them were empty, only three crystal boxes contained a small ball emitting black mist.

Xia Fan got closer only to realize that it was actually an eyeball!And under the mist, the thing didn't seem to be dead, it was still turning left and right.When he saw that it was an eyeball, the eyeball also fixed on him.In an instant, the black mist around it seemed to become thicker.

"How can there be such a thing in the recording department... It makes people feel disgusting at first glance." Li frowned and said.

"Could it be that what's stored here is—" Qian Yan first showed a look of surprise, then quickly stepped forward, opened the scroll on the wooden platform, and his face froze slightly, "Sure enough..."

"Surely what?"

"This room is used to store fairy arts." She said in a concentrated voice.

The hands and feet of the three couldn't help but relax.

"Xianshu... are you referring to these eyeballs?"

"Honestly speaking, this is the first time I've seen it." Qianyan lowered his voice, "Immortal art was the top secret of the art world a hundred years ago, it was considered a gift from heaven, and it was exclusive to listeners for a long time Although I have said that Yongguo has developed the technology of inheriting immortal arts in the last ten years, the Fang family and I have no way of knowing what it is."

"Now, I have seen the real thing—"

She stretched out her finger and pointed to one of the eyeballs, a sharp icicle formed from her fingertips.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Xia Fan suddenly realized her plan and raised her arm abruptly.

The ice pick shot out like an arrow and hit the wall above his head.

"Let go of me, I want to liberate them!"

"This is the Gyeonggi Privy Council, calm down!" Xia Fan simply hugged her with one hand and placed her on the side away from the crystal box, "Also... what does liberation mean?"

"Don't you understand?" Qianyan bit his lips, "The price of inheritance is the life of the previous holder. I have been thinking about how it is realized, and now I understand. The combination of accumulation and qi, Use chaos to maintain the consciousness until it is injected into the new user's body - that is not a simple eyeball, but the consciousness of the previous alchemist!"

"They were imprisoned in this small place and could not move... For decades, even hundreds of years. As long as there is no next successor, they will be like this forever. And some of them, I may have fought side by side with them... "

"So that's it." Xia Fan nodded understandingly, "But don't forget where we are now - the Privy Council may accept that we entered this place for investigation, but it will never turn a blind eye to the loss of fairy arts. If the situation is Worse, if they don't think that the fairy art has been destroyed, but suspect that we have monopolized the fairy art, then we will never leave Gyeonggi in this life."

After a while, Qian Yan finally calmed down, "...you are right, I shouldn't do this at a time like this."

"If they are really people from a hundred years ago and their consciousness is still preserved, can they be brought back to life?" Li Qi asked.

"I've never heard of a case where the consciousness was eroded by chaos and can be restored." Qianyan shook his head. "Before they die, they will lose most of their selves, and they will always suffer from the pain of devouring, that's all."

"Aside from this method, is there no other way to inherit the immortal art?"

"If there is, they have already used it." Qianyan looked at Luo Qingqing, "You should be very clear, right? Those things seem to appear in your mind suddenly, and it is difficult to describe them in existing language. Even through special The extracted spells are just like the content recorded in this book, which cannot be understood by ordinary people at all."
