"You and I both belong to the Four Domains Alliance, and this time we have the opportunity to form a joint team to explore this 'Lanying Ruins'."
"We should advance together and retreat together, and just watch and help each other!"
Looking at the grateful middle-aged man in blue robe opposite him, 'Duolianggen' waved his big furry black hands and bared his teeth in a careless smile.
At the same time, he turned his eyes and quickly scanned the surrounding city elders who had experienced several previous battles and had vaguely regarded him as the backbone.
Then, he said in a low tone with a somewhat regretful tone:
"It's a pity that Duo's ability is not good enough, even though he has tried his best before."
"But under the siege of the previous golden golems, too much time was still wasted."
"So much so that in the melee just now, although I saw Wu Daoyou being surrounded by more than a dozen giant stone giants from a distance, I had no time to help."
"Although he spared no effort in using a secret explosion technique later on, the rescue was still not long ago, and he could only watch Wu Daoyou die at the end of his strength."
Having said this, 'Duolianggen''s huge face covered with black hair also showed a bit of self-blame at the right time.
"Eh--"
"What did Fellow Taoist Duolianggen say? The scuffle just now happened suddenly."
"It is a pity that Fellow Daoist Wu died unfortunately, but what does it have to do with Fellow Daoist Duolianggen?"
"What's more, if my fellow Taoist hadn't exerted his might just now, he would have wiped out all those giant stone giants quickly."
"Then we will definitely suffer heavy casualties under the siege of these giant stone giants this time. How can we stand here intact like now?"
After hearing the words of self-blame from 'Duolianggen', the middle-aged man in blue robe immediately opened his hands and waved his fingers to comfort him.
"What Daoyou Daoyou Kuang said is true. Wu Daoyou's death was truly an accident."
"After all, who would have thought that in addition to the ancient building complexes before, so many giant stone giants could suddenly appear in this ordinary wilderness!"
After the middle-aged man in blue robe finished speaking, the remaining six people also rushed to express their opinions.
Although considering their appearance, the expressions on these people's faces are quite normal.
But in the words of these people, the feeling of convincing and flattering towards 'Duolianggen' was clearly revealed.
Seeing these human monks scrambling to gain a sense of presence in front of him, 'Duolianggen' secretly sneered in his heart.
But of course there was no trace of it on his face.
Faced with these flattering words that were getting more and more serious, he first gave in with a calm expression.
Then he straightened up his expression, looked at everyone with a thoughtful look on his face and said:
"As we go deeper and deeper into this 'Lanying Ruins', the forbidden power and the number of puppets we encounter every time are constantly increasing."
"In contrast, after going through battles one after another, this joint exploration team has become increasingly stretched to cope with the attrition."
"It just so happens that according to the routine communication with the alliance yesterday, the recruitment of the second batch of joint exploration team members has already started within the alliance."
"Taking into account the difference in time flow speed inside and outside the ruins, if nothing else happens, this second batch of joint exploration team members should have been assembled."
"Therefore, Duo suggested that you all go back to the area you were repairing before to take a breather. After your condition recovers, you can head to the entrance of the ruins to meet the second batch of joint exploration team members."
"What do you think when the two sides join forces and then continue to explore the depths of the ruins?"
After hearing Duolianggen's suggestion, the other people naturally did not object and immediately agreed with it.
Seeing that everyone was unanimous, 'Duolianggen' immediately stopped delaying and took the remaining people in the team along the way to the safe area that everyone had repaired before.
………………
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Inside Zeyuan City.
The body training room of Gao Yuan's temporary residence.
In the middle of the empty palace, there was a round platform placed next to the giant stone pot.
Gao Yuan's head and feet were in a weird and extremely stretched posture, standing upside down in the center of the round platform with only his right hand supporting him.
The surface of his body is tightly wrapped with a thick shell like beeswax.
Through the latter's slightly transparent dark red material, a layer of richer dark purple streamer can be vaguely seen.
I saw these deep purple streams of light, closely following the outline of Gao Yuan's completely naked body, running quickly and silently.
And during this process, a deep and solemn aura quietly emitted.
After an unknown amount of time, the dark purple light flowing silently suddenly became much more intense without any warning.
At the same time, a slight 'click' sound also came from within the thick dark red shell.
It was as if a hidden mechanism had been triggered, followed by this slight 'click' sound.
This layer was tightly wrapped on the surface of Gao Yuan's body. At first glance, the front of the dark red shell looked like some kind of sculpture, and suddenly a large spiderweb-like crack appeared on the front.
After a short delay, accompanied by a series of crisp 'bang bang' sounds, these dark red shells exploded rapidly.
After countless pieces peeled off, Gao Yuan's majestic body covered with black hair was revealed.
I saw his right arm supported on the stone round platform below swaying slightly, relying on the force of the counter-shock.
His body jumped down from the nearly two-meter-high round platform and landed steadily on the ground beside him.
Although after a few days of familiarity, Gao Yuan's heart has gradually accepted the thick black hair that naturally occurs on the body surface with the practice of "Five Meridians Spiritual Body Training".
But when he landed on the ground and looked at himself, the corners of his eyes twitched subconsciously——
Compared with before this practice, the black hair covering his body became thicker and thicker, and its length was also slightly longer by about half an inch on each side.
"What the hell..."
"Although when the blood energy in the body is not deliberately stimulated, these proliferated black hairs will still disappear and hide on their own."
"But if this trend continues, by the time I have mastered the Five Meridians Spiritual Body Training to the Hunyuan Realm, as long as I activate my blood energy during the battle, my appearance will probably not be worse than Duolianggen's.
how much!"
"Although the power of this secret body refining technique of the witch clan is good, the negative effects are really a bit fucked up!"
As my mind turned, I remembered that with the advancement of this secret technique of "Five Meridians Spiritual Body Forging", the strength of the physical body has increased nearly three times compared to before practice.
While Gao Yuan controlled the surging blood in his body to hide the black hair covering his body, he muttered a few words to himself with some emotion.
If before starting to practice the "Five Meridians Spiritual Body Forging", he could only barely rely on the physical strength given by the "Third Level Blood Jade Skill" to compete with low-grade magic weapons.
At this time, after practicing "Five Meridians Spiritual Body Training" to the seventh level corresponding to the Hunyuan Realm, Gao Yuan is already 100% sure that he can rely solely on the strength of his own body without any external force.
, it’s as good as tearing apart a top-grade magic weapon with your hands!
"Tsk!"
"When I practice the "Five Meridians Spiritual Body Training" to the ninth level, I will supplement it with other protective methods."
"At that time, within the entire Hunyuan realm, unless it is a super secret treasure that can ignore the level difference, it will probably be very difficult to cause harm to me."
"Even those 'ember fire bearers', I should be able to have a positive tone without resorting to the 'cold air of frost'!"
"Compared with personal safety, the negative effects of this 'atavistic ape transformation' during the battle are not so difficult to accept!"
"What's more, this negative effect is not completely fixed."
As his mind turned, Gao Yuan's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene six days ago when he ran to the guard camp to ask senior 'Yu Linglong' for advice on the negative effects of the "Five Meridians Spiritual Body Forging".
"According to Senior Yu Linglong, this phenomenon of being covered with black hair is only unique to the lower three realms."
"Even the shamans from the Southern Territory can freely control the growth of their own hair after breaking through to the spirit realm."
Gao Yuan muttered a few words to himself with some emotion, and Gao Yuan became more and more looking forward to the level of the Soul Realm.
After all, after entering the Soul Realm, you can spontaneously control the property of hair growth.
According to what 'Yu Linglong' said before, the higher the degree of tempering of the physical body in the lower three realms, the stronger the gains will be obtained in the subsequent spiritual realm.
And judging from the physical enhancement effect he has gained through practicing the master-level "Five Meridians Spiritual Body Training".
After he has mastered the secret art of body refining of the Witch Clan to the ninth level, his physical strength will probably be much stronger than that of 'Duolianggen', a genius said to be unparalleled in the Witch Clan.
In view of this, after Gao Yuan successfully promoted to the Soul Realm, the gain effect he obtained due to the strength of his physical body will inevitably exceed everyone's imagination!
He shook his head, clearing his mind of all the alternating thoughts.
Gao Yuan stretched out his right hand and lightly curled his fingers towards the cabinet not far away.
Following his movements, the various clothes he had taken off in order to practice "Five Meridians Spiritual Body Training" suddenly fluttered lightly.
Finally, under his guidance, it was put on his body neatly.
I used the 'True Spirit Power' to check myself from a distance and made sure there was nothing incongruous.
Gao Yuan no longer delayed and quickly floated away in the direction outside the body training room.
After a full thirty-day waiting period, the day for the cities in the Northern Territory to set out for the ‘Lanying Swamp’ finally arrived.
Today, the Northern Territory Alliance, including Qingliang City Lingzhou, will also carry out an additional mission.
That is to escort the newly recruited second batch of joint exploration teams to the entrance of the ‘Lanying Ruins’.
"Tsk!"
"With the arrival of this joint exploration team, the Alliance and 'Embers' are surrounding the entrance of this 'Lanying Ruins'. I am afraid that a new melee will break out!"
When boarding the camel carriage, Gao Yuan sighed silently in his heart.
