Changfeng Chuan

Chapter 382
  Gu Changfeng's mind moved, and a native guard was summoned by him.

"go."

Gu Changfeng gave a faint order, and Tu Wei walked towards the stone road with heavy steps.

After killing the jade soldiers, the two stone guards disappeared into the stone road as before.

"What are the positions of the two stone guards?" Gu Changfeng asked.

"After they submerged into the stone road, they returned to their original position in just an instant." Lan Xiangxiang said immediately.

"When the second stone guard is activated, how far away is the jade guard from his position?"

"About fifteen feet." Lan Xiangxiang thought for a while and said.

"Fifteen feet" Gu Changfeng pondered secretly. He needed to confirm whether these stone guards had their own warning range.

If each stone guard has its own warning range, it will be much more convenient for their next actions.

The Tuwei stepped into the stone road as if the jade soldiers were entering for the first time.

The stone guard emerged from the road again.

It was still a mechanical language without emotion, "Outsiders, retreat after three breaths."

"Otherwise, I will start attacking."

The Tuwei didn't answer anything. It followed the orders of Guan Changfeng and directly attacked the Shiwei.

"Trespassing into forbidden areas, kill!"

Shi Wei shouted angrily, not caring that Tu Wei was a much higher level than him, but still rushed forward without hesitation.

However, Shilu has undergone obvious changes this time.

I saw ripples on the stone road like water surface, and a stream of spiritual power poured up along Shi Wei's legs.

Another layer of gray stone armor was attached to Shi Wei's body.

Soon the two tall spiritual guards collided hard.

Under Gu Changfeng's instruction, Tu Wei and Shi Wei started a close-quarters fight.

In appearance, the Titan and the Stone Guard are very similar.

The stones that make up the stone guard are whiter in color, like marble.

The earth guard is more like a spiritual guard made of a mixture of earth and stone, and is dark brown in color.

Soon the Shiwei began to retreat steadily under the attack of the Tuwei.

However, Gu Changfeng keenly discovered that the stone road was continuously conveying spiritual power, quickly repairing Shi Wei's injuries.

Without the support of Shilu, this Shiwei might be beaten to pieces by Tuwei in a few rounds.

After a stick of incense, even though the Stone Guard was backed by a stone road, it turned into a pile of rubble and scattered on the ground under the fierce attack of the Earth Guard.

After Shi Wei was killed, the stone road also returned to calm, and there was no sign of any abnormality.

"Have there been any changes on the stone road?" Gu Changfeng asked Lan Xiangxiang who was standing aside.

"Nothing has changed."

Lan Xiangxiang held the magic technique in her hands, and seemed to have mobilized her own skills to the extreme, concentrating on examining every inch of the stone road in front of her.

"Let's go in."

Gu Changfeng raised his hand, and a spiritual light shot out from his fingertips and fell on Lan Xiangxiang.

Then a light cyan spiritual shield formed, wrapping Lan Xiangxiang inside.

"This spiritual shield can protect you. You can follow me in with peace of mind." Gu Changfeng said calmly, "Even if it is a sneak attack by the Xuefong Realm Stone Guard, it can protect you."

"Thank you, senior." Lan Xiangxiang was surprised at first, and then said gratefully after realizing it.

Gu Changfeng waved his hand casually, leaving Tu Wei on guard, and led Lan Xiangxiang onto the stone road.

Walking on the stone road, Gu Changfeng felt that the stones paving the stone road were no different from ordinary stones. They did not have any fluctuations in spiritual power.

This discovery greatly aroused Gu Changfeng's curiosity.

If these are just ordinary stones, how can the spiritual power be transmitted to them, and how can they generate stone guards?
  It seems that there is something deep hidden in this ruins.

Gu Changfeng came to a stone house and felt the forbidden formation attached to its surface.

This is a three-story stone house, about three feet high.

The prohibition circle above has the same origin as the entrance to the outer hole, but it is much weaker.

Gu Changfeng's eyes moved slightly. After thinking for a moment, he used the same method to unlock the restrictions that shrouded the stone house.

Slowly pushing open the stone door, Gu Changfeng first came to a stone hall.

The stone hall is not big, about three to four feet square.

Furniture such as stone tables and chairs are arranged in an orderly manner in the hall.

There is an incense burner on the stone table. The inside of the incense burner is filled with incense ashes, and there is a bamboo slip upside down on the table.

There is also a cup of spiritual tea placed next to the bamboo slip, but the spiritual energy in the tea cup has already dimmed, and it looks like it is about to dissipate.

Gu Changfeng and Lan Xiangxiang stood at the door, not in a hurry to enter the house.

"Blue Fairy, what do you think about what is happening in front of you?"

Gu Changfeng turned his head and asked Lan Xiangxiang beside him.

"Senior, there is spiritual tea on the table, as well as half-cut bamboo slips." Lan Xiangxiang thought for a while and said, "This should mean that the owner of this house left because of something urgent."

"In other words, the things he has to deal with will not take too long, and in his understanding he should be back soon."

"The spiritual energy of the spiritual tea in the cup is dim, indicating that this spiritual tea has been placed here for some time."

"However, this junior cannot tell how long it has been left for."

Gu Changfeng nodded. As a casual cultivator, Lan Xiangxiang still had a keen sense of observation.

Just as Lan Xiangxiang said, Gu Changfeng's guess was also similar.

However, by using the power of time, he could roughly calculate that this cup of spiritual tea should have been stored for nearly a hundred thousand years.

Gu Changfeng estimated that if it weren't for the isolation of the stone house array, the spiritual energy in the spiritual tea would have been exhausted long ago.

Gu Changfeng waved his hand, and the bamboo slip on the table flew into his hand.

After looking into his consciousness for a moment, he threw the bamboo slips into his storage bag.

This is a bamboo slip that records the experience of refining the weapon, but the quality of the refining recorded in it is not high, and it is of little significance to Gu Changfeng.

He only kept this jade slip to expand his horizons.

Then, Gu Changfeng stepped into the house and walked to the side hall door.

There is only a desk and a row of bookshelves in the side hall.

There were rows of bamboo slips on the bookshelf. Gu Changfeng stepped forward to the side hall and quickly browsed through the many bamboo slips with his spiritual consciousness.

After a while, Gu Changfeng let out a long breath.

What is recorded in these bamboo slips are some low-level skills, magical powers and the like.

Moreover, the quality can only be regarded as average, and it does not have magical powers similar to those obtained by Lan Xiangxiang.

After Gu Changfeng put away a few bamboo slips that he was interested in, he said to Lan Xiangxiang, "Take a look, you can take them as you like."

After Gu Changfeng finished speaking, he walked upstairs.

The second floor of the stone house is a practice hall. What surprised Gu Changfeng was that there was a stone guard in the practice hall!
  A spirit-melting realm stone guard.

But this stone guard was like a dead thing, like an ordinary stone, standing quietly in the corner of the room.

There are some marks on the surface of the stone guard.

It looks like a martial arts puppet. Gu Changfeng walked up to Shi Wei, looked at it carefully, then took out a few forbidden talismans, quickly pasted them all over Shi Wei's body, and put them away.

The practice room was relatively shabby, and there was nothing of value.

Gu Changfeng didn't stay much and went straight to the third floor.

In Gu Changfeng's opinion, the third floor of the stone house is a retreat room.

A spirit-gathering formation is carved on the ground, and there are hundreds of spirit stones inlaid on top of the formation.

There are also several pots of spiritual plants that Gu Changfeng cannot name, which are emitting a faint fluorescent light.

There was a grass futon placed in the center of the array. As for what kind of spiritual grass it was made of, Gu Changfeng didn't know.

Gu Changfeng waved, and a pot of spiritual plants was taken into his hands and he looked at it carefully.

Although he didn't know what kind of spiritual plant this was, from Gu Changfeng's perspective, it was not a rare species.

However, after all, these things are from hundreds of thousands of years ago and should still have a certain value.

Gu Changfeng turned his hands and put away the spiritual plants and spiritual stones, carved the spiritual gathering array on the ground into the jade talisman, and then began to look at the three-story roof.

There are several marks carved on the roof of the third-story shed.

The sudden appearance of these marks and the hasty ending were like some unfinished formations.

But it covered the entire roof.

At this time Lan Xiangxiang also came to the third floor. After seeing that there was nothing, he and Gu Changfeng returned to the first floor.

When they just arrived outside the house, Lan Xiangxiang suddenly said to Gu Changfeng, "Senior Gu."

"The stone guard appears again!"

"Appeared again?" Gu Changfeng was a little surprised. He was very sure that the stone guard had been killed on the spot.

So now there is another one, is it new? Or is the original one resurrected?
  "It's still in its original position, but it seems to be recovering. Judging from the current speed, it should take another hour to recover."

"Recovering." Gu Changfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, combined with his previous inferences.

He guessed that after the stone guard was shattered, it should have been absorbed by the stone road.

Then they will reorganize, but it will take time to restore their original strength.

"Let's go take a look inside."

Gu Changfeng said hello and led Tuwei to take the lead towards the interior of the building complex.

In his opinion, the owner of this outermost stone house should not have a high status.

Their cultivation level is probably around the spirit-melting realm.

This strength is not worth Gu Changfeng's time wasting here.

So he decisively walked inside with Lan Xiangxiang.

After walking along the stone road for nearly ten miles, although they relied on Lan Xiangxiang to detect in advance, the two of them had tried their best to avoid the stone guard.

But he still couldn't help but kill eight stone guards before reaching the next area.

The buildings in this area changed from stone houses to wooden houses.

The floor area and floor height of the house are also larger and taller than those of the stone house.

The restraining circle that enveloped the wooden house was much stronger than that of the stone house, but compared with the restraint at the entrance of the cave, there was still a certain gap.

Gu Changfeng cracked the magic circle with ease and then walked into the house.

After about a stick of incense, Gu Changfeng and Lan Xiangxiang turned back from the wooden house.

The displays of the wooden house and the stone house are completely different. The only extra thing is an indoor spiritual plant cultivation room.

Gu Changfeng also harvested some uncommon spiritual plants, but he did not return empty-handed.

The wooden house has an additional spiritual plant room, which is of much greater significance to Gu Changfeng.

However, there were many wooden houses, and it was unrealistic for him to explore them all.

"Lan Fairy, how about we split up?" Gu Changfeng suggested.

"Ah? Senior Gu, I don't dare." Lan Xiangxiang looked around and said timidly.

When they arrived at the wooden house area, the cultivation level of Shi Wei, who was hidden in the dark, had been upgraded to the Fusion Realm.

She really didn't dare to act alone.

"It doesn't matter, I'll let the Spirit Guard accompany you." Gu Changfeng waved his hand and summoned another Golden Guard and Water Guard.

"The three Five Elements Spirit Guards can protect you in this area."

"We will gather here in an hour."

"Thank you, Senior Gu, for your generosity." Lan Xiangxiang thanked him with a bow, and then walked in the other direction with the three spiritual guards.

Gu Changfeng looked at Lan Xiangxiang's leaving figure, his eyes moved slightly and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a moment, he turned around and ran towards the nearest cabin.

About half an hour later, Gu Changfeng had searched more than a dozen wooden houses and obtained many rare spiritual plants.

There are some spiritual plants here. Although the grade is not high, Gu Changfeng is sure that they have disappeared from the outside world.

Gu Changfeng gained a lot from discovering them in this ruins.

If the whole plant is sold to a master who is good at cultivating spiritual plants, these extinct spiritual plants may be able to return to the public's attention.

When Gu Changfeng was about to explore the next wooden house, he suddenly received a message from Lan Xiangxiang.

"Senior Gu, is it convenient for you to come to my place?" Lan Xiangxiang's tone in the voice transmission was a little urgent, "I seem to have discovered something strange."

Gu Changfeng's heart moved, and he quickly locked the location of the Five Elements Spirit Guards and ran over quickly.

The wooden house where Lan Xiangxiang is located is much larger than other wooden houses.

When Gu Changfeng arrived, Lan Xiangxiang and the Five Elements Spirit Guards were standing in front of the wooden house door.

"Lan Fairy, how was the harvest?" Gu Changfeng stood still and asked Lan Xiangxiang.

"I harvested some rare spiritual plants, thank you senior for the opportunity."

Lan Xiangxiang said gratefully, even though the prohibition circles in these wooden houses are far inferior to those at the entrance of the cave.

If she had to crack it by herself, she might not be able to open a single wooden house in half an hour.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Spirit Guards took action for her, so she gained a lot.

As a casual cultivator, the things in this wooden house were worth more than her entire net worth.

"Did you find something strange?" Gu Changfeng asked.

"Senior Gu is like this." Lan Xiangxiang pointed to the door of the wooden house, "On the second floor of this wooden house, there is a place similar to the cultivation of spiritual beasts and insects."

"There is something like a silkworm cocoon being cultivated inside."

"I explored it a little bit and found signs of life."

"I thought you would be very interested in it, senior, so I informed you to come over."

"A cocoon-like thing?" Gu Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and used his consciousness to explore towards the second floor.

Soon he discovered the strange cocoon in Lan Xiangxiang's mouth.

To be precise, it is a silkworm cocoon. The reason why it is strange is because it is so big.

The entire cocoon is about ten feet long!

"Go, go up and have a look."

Gu Changfeng pondered for a moment and stepped into the wooden house.
