The more terrifying thing was, the speed of this Ghost Fire Bug was very fast.
Its body was entirely made up of a special ghost fire. It couldn’t be hacked to death with a sword and also couldn’t be put out by water. Only a special water-attributed true essence or ice-attributed martial skills could kill it.
Ling Xiao had ways to kill it, but he had no plan to make a move.
If this Ghost Fire Bug could help him kill the stern-faced martial artist behind him, then he would naturally be very happy to give it a way.
“Ah——!”
Behind him, a scream resounded.
Ling Xiao sneered secretly.
He turned back and saw that one eye of the stern-faced martial artist had been burnt to a crisp by that Ghost Fire Bug.
However, this fellow was a Rank Five Transcendent Realm martial artist. At the critical moment, he stabbed the Ghost Fire Bug with his sword and used a cold ice-attributed true essence.
The Ghost Fire Bug was frozen into ice, and it instantly fell to the ground and shattered.
But the stern-faced martial artist also lost one eye.
Fairy Linglong could help the stern-faced martial artist stop bleeding, but she couldn’t regrow the lost eye.
“You bastard, I’m going to kill you!”
After losing one eye, the stern-faced martial artist was so angry that he prepared to attack Ling Xiao with his sword, but Fairy Linglong stopped him.
“Now, we still need his cooperation. If you kill him, losing your eye would be in vain.”
Naturally, at this moment, she was using voice transmission to say these things to the stern-faced martial artist——
“After this matter is over, this kid will be handed over to you. At that time, it would be up to you to decide whether to kill him or let him go.”
When the stern-faced martial artists heard these words, he suppressed the flames of anger in his heart.
Then, everyone continued to walk inside.
However, at this moment, the stern-faced martial artist no longer dared to stand behind Ling Xiao to point his sword at Ling Xiao’s back. If by chance something jumped out again, then this wicked kid wouldn’t warn him.
The inside of this cave-dwelling was quite wide. Even if three people walked in side by side, there wouldn’t be any problem. It was pitch-black inside, but unusual radiance would appear indistinctly.
People who often hunted for treasure knew that seeing this kind of radiance meant that the treasures were about to appear.
Everyone was a little excited in their hearts, but they still held back their curiosity and didn’t dare to rush forward, moreover, continued to make Ling Xiao walk in the front.
When walking through the cave entrance, Ling Xiao noticed many sword marks on the cave walls. If his guess was correct, then these should be traces left behind by the battle.
Presumably, the ancient martial artist fought fiercely with others here in the past, and finally, he was able to successfully defend this cave-dwelling, however, he died because of serious injuries.
Naturally, this was just his speculation. Whether it was correct or not, it could only be known after entering the cave-dwelling.
Ling Xiao was very careful.
He was walking in the forefront. If there was any danger, he would be the first one to bear the brunt. A little carelessness and he might lose his life.
In the quiet and serene cave-dwelling, there were only the sounds of footsteps and water dripping. The air was filled with the smell of earth and even some rotten smell.
The five people didn’t speak. They should all be a little nervous. Under this kind of environment, there was a high chance of something happening.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao stopped. Fairly Linglong, who was walking behind him, was walking too fast, so she was unable to stop in time and directly bumped against Ling Xiao’s back.
****** stuck on Ling Xiao’s skin.
However, at this moment, Ling Xiao was completely indifferent.
Because he knew very well that this woman, who looked understanding and had the appearance of a fairy on the surface, in fact, was a woman who was conceited and arrogant.
Slap!
Fairy Linglong swung her hand to slap Ling Xiao.
However, Ling Xiao had already dodged it, and her hand hit the cave wall. Then, on that stone cave wall, a three-inch deep palm print appeared.
It could be seen how ruthless this Fairy Linglong was. If this slap had landed on a person’s face, then that person’s head might have exploded.
“Little pervert, why did you stop so suddenly?”
Fairy Linglong asked loudly.
“Fairy, there is a broken dragon stone blocking the way, and this broken dragon stone is covered with inscriptions. It is obviously strengthened by a magic array. Those below Heavenly Realm can’t blast it away.”
Ling Xiao explained.
Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, there was a huge stone lying in the front. There were many inscriptions on it, and faint golden light was flickering in the darkness.
“Behind this, it must be the place where that ancient martial artist passed away. Presumably, he set up this broken dragon stone because he didn’t want someone to attack him while he was treating his wounds, but unexpectedly, his injuries were too serious, and he died there.”
The stern-faced martial artist analyzed.
“Yes, boy surnamed Ling, quickly open the broken dragon stone.”
Perhaps, because she was going to see the treasures she had been seeking for a long time, Fairy Linglong had no patience to play around with Ling Xiao in disguise. She became quite forceful.
“I can open it, but you have to make him kneel down and apologize to me first.”
Ling Xiao looked at Fairy Linglong and said lightly.
The person he pointed to was that stern-faced martial artist.
“Brat, you are courting death!”
The stern-faced martial artist shouted coldly.
“Yes, in any case, I will also die after this broken dragon stone is opened, so it’s better to die with some dignity. You kneel down and apologize, furthermore, Fairy Linglong, you also kneel down, kowtow to me, admit your mistake and call me Grandfather Ling three times, then I will help you all open the broken dragon stone.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“Leng Mian, kneel down!”
Although Fairy Linglong was trembling in anger, she actually knelt on the ground, and she also gave orders to the stern-faced martial artist beside her.
This woman was amazing.
She could endure what ordinary people couldn’t. If she was left alone, she would definitely become a great threat to Ling Xiao.
It seemed that he must eliminate her first after this incident.
“Grandfather Ling! Grandfather Ling! Grandfather Ling! It’s our fault, we shouldn’t have threatened you!”
Including those two Peak Rank Four Transcendent Realm martial artists, the four people knelt together, called Ling Xiao grandfather three times, then apologized.
Only then did Ling Xiao begin to fiddle with the broken dragon stone.
The broken dragon stone used a combination of mechanism and magic array. The design was very delicate. It was a bit difficult for him to open it.
However, that was only for ordinary people. It was not too difficult for Ling Xiao.
With the activation of the Landscape Martial Soul, various inscriptions continuously flashed through his eyes.
After about twenty breaths, there was a ‘kacha’ sound, then the broken dragon stone began to rise slowly.
Upon seeing that the broken dragon stone was rising slowly, Fairy Linglong and the stern-faced martial artist looked at each other and saw anger and killing intent in each other’s eyes.
This person surnamed Ling, they will kill him!
However, they had to endure now.
“You two, guard this place.”
Fairy Linglong said to those two Peak Rank Four Transcendent Realm martial artists, and added: “Prevent any fierce beasts from running inside.”
Although she was saying it was to prevent fierce beasts, in fact, even a fool would know that it was to prevent Ling Xiao from running away.
Just a moment ago, they had suffered so many grievances, they would definitely not let Ling Xiao go. They wouldn’t be satisfied unless they tore Ling Xiao’s corpse into a thousand pieces.
Behind the broken dragon stone, there was actually a warm light. This place also had a Light Absorption Array similar to the one arranged in the medicine store that was destroyed by Ling Xiao before.
Therefore, it was very bright inside.
