C622 A statue!
C622 A statue!
The design of the palace looked exactly the same as the two palaces Fang Shaobai had seen before. It was similarly built in an imposing manner and was very luxurious. Only the door was wide open, as if it were open for any man to enter or leave.
In front of the hall, there was a wide, four-sided green brick floor.
Two stone lions, one on the left and one on the right, stood on both sides. Their large eyes were as if they were living creatures, and their aura was extremely terrifying.
"How can this be? There's actually no obstruction at all, this is unbelievable!" Xue Qianling really doubted her own eyes a little.
"Who said that there was no obstruction? Didn't that river stop your blood clan for countless years?" Fang Shaobai said playfully.
"That river." Xue Qianling instinctively felt a tinge of resentment, that's right, that river alone already blocked all the Strigoi for countless of years, was it not enough?
But why did Young Master Fang sound like he was gloating, and was even a little proud?
Xue Qianling could not help but roll her eyes. She wanted to retort, but she could not hold back her curiosity, "Young master, didn't you say that you were not confident before? Why did you suddenly cross that river with one step?
"That's right, Young Master. That step of yours was too awesome." If it weren't for the fact that I saw those hateful old men standing on the shore helplessly and the Sixth Elder shooting out, I would have thought that there were no restrictions on the river at all. How did you manage to cross over? "Luo Er was equally curious.
"Haha, if I said it was luck, would you believe me?"
When it came to this step of crossing the river, although Fang Shaobai was proud, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Although that step across the river seemed simple and straightforward, including all the nine great elders of the Blood Clan, no one could tell that his step was an extremely mysterious profound step in space. It was precisely what he had temporarily learned the "Qiankong nine steps".
In fact, there was a very solid spatial seal on that river, which was extremely complicated and complicated. Even if the Martial Saint were to come, he might not be able to easily destroy the entire restriction.
With Fang Shaobai's ability and eyesight, breaking through the seal was far, far out of reach.
However, just before they crossed the river, Fang Shaobai mysteriously comprehended the mysterious Movement Skills "Qiankong nine steps". Although she had barely learnt one step, which could be considered as her initial insight, this step of comprehension allowed Fang Shaobai to understand a lot of things.
It was because it had comprehended these things that it had unintentionally picked up a clue, and with the help of the "Qiankong nine steps", it could pierce a gap in the river of restrictions.
The whole thing seemed so coincidental, so unexpected.
But Fang Shaobai had never believed that there was such a coincidence that the golden pearl would not change when the palace appeared. It had forcefully allowed Fang Shaobai to comprehend the "Qiankong nine steps", added with the experience of two palaces, Fang Shaobai would never believe that all of this was not deliberately arranged by the owner of this place.
That's right, Fang Shaobai was seventy percent sure that the key to crossing the river within the blood clan forbidden area was the "Qiankong nine steps", and this "Qiankong nine steps" did not exist as a jade chip nor did it exist as a book. Instead, it was hidden inside the golden pearl in a strange way, and then, the golden pearl was placed in another palace.
This was simply playing with people.
The tragic Strigoi had been toyed with for many generations just because they didn't have this golden pearl …
Towards the Blood Family, Fang Shaobai did not have much pity. After being trapped here for so many years, some of the the Blood Family members had already become twisted.
"Come, let's go in and take a look. This young master is quite curious as to what the master of this place is planning to do by hiding a palace here."
Fang Shaobai took the lead, the two girls following closely behind. In order to ensure their safety while walking to the opened door, they still had to repeatedly confirm that there were no restrictions before they could enter the hall.
"Statue!"
Once they entered the hall, the three of them were immediately attracted by the only thing in the hall.
It was a snow-white statue, entirely carved from white jade. It was a man in a white robe, looking very lifelike, with jade-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His entire body gave off a refined aura, especially his eyes, which were bright and full of spirit.
"How magical! How is this carved? Is this really a statue?" Luo Er's small hand stretched out in midair, and didn't even dare to touch the sculpture if he wanted to. He was afraid that this wasn't a sculpture at all, but a person.
However, this was indeed a statue. It could only be said that the person who carved this statue had reached perfection in his carving skills. He could practically carve lifeless stones into living creatures. No matter what era, these characters would all be revered as grandmasters.
"Young master, look. On the statue's hand …"
Xue Qianling was equally shocked by how lifelike the sculpture was, but she had clearly thought of it much more than Luo Er. There was nothing inside but a statue. If this statue was used to look good and to shock people with its carving skills, then what reason did this palace have to use a river as a barrier to prevent the Strigoi from touching it for so many years?
To put it bluntly, it was a matter of resentment.
Since a young age, Xue Qianling had been looking forward to unlocking the secrets of the blood clan forbidden area and lead the Blood Clan to escape this place, because the Blood Clan was born in the Eternity Continent, and only the vast expanse of fertile land in the Eternity Continent could bring the weakened ancient blood race back to the glory of a large ancient clan.
He had already formed a deep-rooted stubborn thought in his heart. He wanted to see what exactly was hidden in the palace on the other side of the river. Was there a need to hide it so securely?
If there was nothing else in the palace other than the beautiful statue, even if Xue Qianling didn't vomit blood, she would still suffocate to death from her resentment.
No one could bear it. They had been sulking for countless generations, waiting for the arrival of a statue.
Therefore, Xue Qianling was extremely sensitive. When she first noticed the beauty of the sculpture, her second eye was immediately attracted by the storage ring on the sculpture's hand.
Fang Shaobai also noticed the ring, but it was just too small and ordinary a ring, looking like a small steel trap placed on the sculpture's right ring finger. If it weren't for the fact that the statue was completely white and had a small black ring, no one would have thought much of it.
"Young master, I'll take it off and take a look."
Xue Qianling was getting anxious, she could not wait to know what kind of secret this palace was hiding.
Seeing that, Fang Shaobai could only smile bitterly.
To be honest, he completely understood Xue Qianling's feelings. If it was him, she would probably be even more anxious than Xue Qianling. With his little temper, the first thing he would do after entering the palace and finding out that there were no dangers from the restrictions was to smash this statue into pieces.
At the moment, Fang Shaobai would naturally not do such a thing, even he was relatively calm. At most, he was only curious about what kind of secret was hidden in this palace. As for whether it was a big or small benefit, in his opinion, it wasn't anything bad.
After all, after he had mistakenly entered the World of Confusion, his successive rewards had been too great. Not to mention Azure Dragon Ring, not to mention finding Ancient Sea Secret Realm, not to mention pith of blue sea, just finding two Heaven rank martial skill s in succession, one of which even had Movement Skills, was already quite heaven-defying.
No matter how great the benefits of having this palace were, to him, it was nothing more than icing on the cake. The sense of anticipation he felt was no longer as strong as when he first found out that the blood clan forbidden area was hiding its secrets.
However, if he could have some hope, he hoped that the secret hidden here would be bigger, so that Xue Qianling's indignant mood would not be able to be relieved. He did not wish for his woman to bear this grudge in her heart forever.
"I can't pull it off!"
Xue Qianling was holding onto the black storage ring with a furious face, he was so angry that he wanted to cut off the statue's hand.
"Can't pull it out? Let me see! "Fang Shaobai was a little surprised, there was no reason, he did not feel any restrictions on the sculpture's hand, and Xue Qianling was not a weak little girl either.
Xue Qianling retreated two steps, then stepped forward and tried to pull the ring off.
Hmm, Fang Shaobai did not use any strength, but the storage ring easily slipped off and landed in Fang Shaobai's hand.
"How can this be?" Xue Qianling was so angry that his face was flushed red, this was too depressing, she had clearly taken off the ring with great force, it seemed like it was rooted to the ground and had not moved at all, but Fang Shaobai had used all his strength and casually pulled it off.
This was too much of a blow.
Could the master of this place have a grudge with the Strigoi? Everything is tied to the Strigoi.
Fang Shaobai laughed bitterly. Surprised in her heart, although this black ring could be worn casually on the sculpture's finger, there were actually restrictions hidden inside. Just when he was about to touch it, she felt the power of the restriction. But at this moment, he suddenly felt the golden bead in her dantian emit a mysterious aura. It went through his hand and landed on the black ring.
It was obvious that the owner of this place was not a Strigoi, and was playing with the Strigoi. Actually, does the owner of this place know that the world he opened up will be treated as his base? This is mainly because the key laid on the body of the mysterious golden pearl.
"Looks like whether it's crossing the river or the secret here, the key lies in that golden bead!"
Fang Shaobai was a little enlightened, and in her heart, she paid more attention to the golden bead. He believed that the bead that the owner of this place considered to be the key to unlocking all of his secrets, should be a great treasure to the original owner!
