Volume One Chapter 298 The Art of Fire
"I don't know, I've never been here before." Shen Suhua shook her head. At this moment, she felt a sense of awe in her heart.
Whether it is architecture, sculptures, or the plants and trees here, they all give people a simple, solemn, vigorous and majestic atmosphere.
This feeling made her inexplicably excited, and she couldn't help but express her admiration.
She had never had this feeling before.
"Let's go." Shen Suhua pulled Gu Xiao and stepped into the palace.
"Squeak..."
The palace door slowly closed, isolating everything as if for eternity.
…
"Huchi...huchi..."
Gu Xiao was breathing heavily, his chest was heaving violently, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Running all the way almost paralyzed him from exhaustion.
"Is this...is this a restriction?" Gu Xiao's eyes widened in surprise. He looked at his right hand. At this moment, his right arm was wrapped with a thin purple thread, squirming like a living thing.
"What the hell is going on?"
"This is prohibited."
"Restriction? Could it be..." Gu Xiao's face darkened, and he raised his eyes to look at Shen Suhua.
"Shen Suhua, what are you doing!"
At this moment, Shen Suhua is actually practicing.
"I'm practicing the exercises, we have to find the treasure quickly." Shen Suhua said hurriedly, "This palace is very weird, you have to be careful, don't capsize in the gutter."
Gu Xiao's expression was solemn, and he quickly followed Shen Suhua and walked inside.
Shen Suhua had an unimpeded journey through the hall to the backyard.
Skeletons lay quietly on the ground, and a huge altar appeared in front of them.
"Hiss..." Gu Xiao gasped and looked at the altar with horrified eyes: "These are bones!"
"Yes." Shen Suhua nodded, "This is the place where ancestors of all generations are buried. It is said that every time a new person enters this ruins, a strange phenomenon will occur. This time, it should be no exception."
She took a deep breath and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, Shen Suhua stopped, her pupils suddenly dilated: "Be careful!"
She pushed Gu Xiao away reflexively, and a sharp arrow passed by her.
Gu Xiao's face was twisted in pain, and blood overflowed from the scars.
He gritted his teeth and looked around, only to see a group of skeletons surrounding the altar, staring at them greedily.
"Shen Suhua!"
Gu Xiao shouted angrily, the lowest strength of these skeletons is Wuzong, and the highest is Wuzun.
An opponent of this level is simply not something he can deal with.
Shen Suhua's cheeks were livid, and she obviously did not expect to encounter such a situation.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and several afterimages passed by. A group of skeletons rushed towards her at an extremely fast speed, and a fierce murderous aura rushed towards her, surging like a tidal wave.
Her expression suddenly changed: "Damn it, they actually know how to cooperate. It must be because I used the Soul-Eating Technique!"
"boom!"
A strong explosion suddenly sounded, and Shen Suhua felt as if someone had punched her chest hard, and her blood boiled.
Her body suddenly fell backwards and fell into Gu Xiao's arms, with traces of bright red oozing from the corners of her mouth.
"Pfft..." She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her beautiful face became even paler.
"Damn, how do these skeletons know how to attack?" Gu Xiao said angrily. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have died by now.
Shen Suhua shook her head: "I'm not sure, but now no matter what, these things must be solved."
After hearing Shen Suhua's words, Gu Xiao's eyes gradually hardened. He stood up, clenched his fists, and a violent and murderous aura filled his body.
"boom!"
Gu Xiao suddenly swung his fist and hit the group of skeletons hard.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Explosions sounded one after another, and skeletons shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
"Haha, so happy!" Gu Xiao looked up to the sky and laughed.
Shen Suhua frowned slightly and glanced at Gu Xiao in confusion. Is this guy crazy?
At this moment, Shen Suhua suddenly noticed something, her face suddenly stiffened, and she quickly drew her sword.
However, a cold long knife was already placed on her slender and white neck.
"Don't move." The man's hoarse and sinister voice sounded in Shen Suhua's ears.
Shen Suhua's delicate body trembled suddenly. She turned around and saw a skeleton standing next to her, holding a knife against her neck.
"It's you!"
Shen Suhua's pretty face suddenly showed a look of intense disgust.
"Haha...yes, it's me!"
"How did you get in?"
Shen Suhua frowned slightly, she clearly remembered that she had set up a barrier.
"Haha, of course you set it up with your own hands!"
"Nonsense! When did I ever set up a barrier?" Shen Suhua cursed angrily.
"Hmph! Do you think you can hide your trick from me? You have already set up a barrier around here and want to use these skeletons to eliminate me!"
Shen Suhua was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "I don't even know you."
"Hmph, we'll settle the bill later!" After saying that, the man directly grabbed Shen Suhua's left leg and dragged Shen Suhua inside.
Gu Xiao's eyebrows raised slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He raised the stone tablet without hesitation and hit the man on the head hard.
"ah!"
A shrill scream suddenly sounded, and the man's head was smashed into pieces.
"Are you...are you okay?" Shen Suhua asked worriedly. After all, she had just been entangled by those skeletons and had not noticed Gu Xiao's movements.
Gu Xiao waved his hand and said indifferently: "Go quickly! I will help you block these skeletons!"
Shen Suhua was slightly startled, how could she leave at this time?
Gu Xiao rushed straight towards the altar.
"Gu Xiao, leave quickly!" Shen Suhua yelled anxiously, and the spiritual power in her body surged out, covering the entire altar in an instant.
"Buzz..."
In an instant, the altar shook, and a terrifying pressure spread.
Shen Suhua's eyelids twitched, her eyes slightly excited.
This is... the power of inheritance?
She never expected that at this juncture, she would realize the power of inheritance.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
In an instant, dozens of skeletons flew towards Shen Suhua.
With a ferocious look on his face, Gu Xiao picked up the stone tablet in his hand and slashed it hard, cutting off the oncoming skeleton in half.
Gu Xiao jumped up and came to Shen Suhua, stretching out his arms to protect her behind him.
A blush appeared on Shen Suhua's pretty face, and a warm current flowed through her heart.
Gu Xiao's back was still straight, and his handsome profile was sharp and angular.
His eyes were sharp, and a pair of dark and deep pupils shot out with a heart-stopping cold light.
The skin all over his body was golden in color and glowed with a dazzling luster, as if he was wearing a layer of battle armor.
"Bang bang bang..."
Countless skeletons collided with him, but could only leave shallow marks on his flesh, and could not even injure him.
Shen Suhua looked at Gu Xiao blankly. It turned out that he also had a special physique and was an alchemist!
It's just that his strength seems to be relatively weak...
"roar!"
