Volume 1: Rebirth of Luoxia Chapter 17: The Lost Relic
Entering the portal, the space around you began to change, and you felt a huge dizziness, which was somewhat similar to the feeling of entering a teleportation array.
After the feeling of traveling through space disappeared, Lin Dongjiu opened his eyes. The light around him was a little dim, and there was no sound. The silence was terrifying.
Looking closely, he saw a huge group of buildings in front of him.
However, this building complex has been baptized by countless years, and many houses have collapsed, leaving only ruins and broken walls standing firmly in place.
Every corner of the street was covered with dust. From a distance, it looked like a sandstorm had submerged the entire ruins. The gray and black tones made it look even more dilapidated.
However, there are many formations on the streets and in the sky that are emitting faint light, like fireflies or neon lights, which alternately give this lost ruins a hint of life.
Not only that, some well-preserved buildings have formations covering them.
Perhaps it is the protection of the formation that prevents these buildings from the erosion of time, or there may be some secrets or treasures hidden in these buildings that require the protection of the formation.
I don’t know how many years these formations have been deployed, and I don’t know if they have failed... Lin Dongjiu walked across the street and came to a relatively glorious and tall building. He gently touched the formation formed in front of the door with his hand.
Light blue shield.
"Crack!"
Just listen to the harsh friction sound coming from the formation on the outer layer of the building, which is similar to the sound of rusty gears starting to rotate.
He also saw a layer of luster rippling on the surface of the shield, and a circle of colorful ripples spread outward from his fingers. The surrounding space seemed to begin to shake with the fluctuations of the ripples, and then...
A dazzling blue light shot up into the sky, turning the dark sky into blue. A powerful force of magic burst out from the formation pointed by Lin Dong's nine fingers, swallowing him whole.
Boom!!
The violent explosion shook the ground slightly, and Lin Dongjiu flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, knocking down a large number of dilapidated houses, and the dust and sand flew into the sky, burying him in a pile of falling rocks.
.
"Cough cough cough!!"
Lin Dongjiu dug up the gravel and crawled out. A large pool of blood oozed from his chest. His hair was messy and draped behind his back. He looked very embarrassed with his gray head and face.
"What the hell, my hands are missing..."
Lin Dongjiu wiped away the dust on his face, stood up with strength, took a few pills, and then came to the tall building.
The formation in front of the building still exudes a faint blue light, like a volcano that has taken a nap after an eruption.
This time, Lin Dongjiu followed suit. He first covered his body with a layer of spiritual armor, and then released some of the remaining demonic energy in his body, condensing a layer of demonic energy shield in front of him.
Under the two layers of protection, Lin Dongjiu planned to try using Phantom Flash to see if he could pass through the protective array and enter the building directly without activating the protective array.
The Phantom Flash can ignore physical obstacles, and today he can try to see if he can pass through the formation restrictions.
Lin Dongjiu took a deep breath. He was already preparing to be knocked away. Just as he was about to launch Phantom Flash, he suddenly saw the space on the street not far away beginning to distort, and figures walking out of the space tunnel one after another.
Lin Dongjiu narrowed his eyes and without any further hesitation, he instantly activated Phantom Flash and rushed towards the building.
His figure turned into a stream of light, and his body touched the barrier of the formation, like a breeze blowing by, without causing any fluctuations in mana.
When he turned around, he realized that he had passed through the formation and successfully entered the building.
Lin Dongjiu walked inside, leaving a series of footprints on the ground of the building. The dust accumulated on them was so heavy that it looked like he had stepped on the beach.
The building was empty, with almost nothing left. He saw there was a staircase at the corner, so he climbed up the stairs and reached the second floor of the building.
On the second floor was a large conference room, with a set of seats and tea sets placed in the middle, and on the wall facing him, there was a dragon picture hanging, depicting a golden dragon with teeth and claws.
There is also a square altar table under the dragon picture, with incense burners, green lanterns, candlesticks and other utensils placed on it.
On the altar table, there are also a scimitar, a copper bell, and a piece of armor.
Seeing these three objects, Lin Dongjiu's eyes shone. Observing the appearance of these magic weapons, it seemed that they were all top-quality treasures, and in terms of value, they were more valuable than his magical weapon, the Green Light Sword.
He couldn't wait to walk over and wanted to pick up the armor and inspect it. As soon as his fingers touched it, he heard a "pop" sound and the entire altar collapsed. The armor was no exception and turned into a pile of powder.
.
It must have been left for too long without any protective measures. These things seemed to remain the same, but in fact they had been corroded inside, so they turned into fly ash when touched...
Lin Dongjiu felt some pain in his body, but at a glance, although the armor and scimitar were turned into powder, the copper bell was still lying intact in the dust.
Lin Dongjiu couldn't help but be overjoyed, quickly picked up the copper bell, wiped the dust on it, and carefully looked at this intact treasure.
This copper bell is not big, very compact, and has a red string on it. It can be used as a pendant if hung around the neck.
The surface of the copper bell is engraved with three evil spirits holding iron forks in their hands. I don’t know how many years ago this object was, but time has not erased the lines on it.
Lin Dongjiu swept the copper bell with his spiritual consciousness and found that there were several restrictions and marks left on it. However, as time passed, these restrictions and marks had almost dissipated.
He easily erased these restrictions and took the copper bell as his own.
Lin Dongjiu didn't know the function of this copper bell yet, so he shook it vigorously, and the bell didn't make any sound, but it was indeed a genuine treasure, and it must have functions, but he just didn't notice it.
Lin Dongjiu had no choice but to hang it around his neck as an ornament for now, planning to study it carefully when he had the opportunity in the future.
In the corner of the second floor, there are several large wooden boxes.
With his spiritual awareness, he discovered that these boxes contained mostly high-grade spiritual stones and various refining materials, as well as bottles and jars containing unknown elixirs.
Lin Dongjiu rubbed his hands and was about to open the box, but then he thought, these treasures would definitely turn into a pile of powder, so the excitement dissipated a lot.
He took a deep breath and blew hard. The large wooden boxes shattered into pieces, and the spiritual stones, materials, and elixirs inside were blown into fly ash.
However, some spirit stones and materials were still preserved. No matter how small a fly was, it was just a piece of meat. Lin Dongjiu carefully picked out these things. After putting the spirit stones away, he summoned Fen Youhuo.
Fen Youhuo also gained a lot of benefits from the last battle with Tianqing Dragon Flame. In addition, he fed Fen Youhuo a piece of fierce light black iron some time ago, and now its flame heart has turned yellow.
Lin Dongjiu threw all the refining materials on the ground that were still in good condition into the fire. Fen Youhuo happily swallowed all the food, but Yan Xin didn't even show any signs of turning green.
It seems that there is still a long way to go before Fenyouhuo can be turned into cyan fire... Lin Dongjiu put away Fenyouhuo and went downstairs.
Before going out, Lin Dongjiu looked out through the crack in the door and saw many disciples from other sects wandering around on the street. Some disciples were trying to break through the formation guarding the outside of the building. It seemed that they also wanted to search inside.
An opportunity.
For a moment, there was a constant rumbling sound outside, and the energy erupted from various formations was reflected in the gray sky, blooming like colorful fireworks. The entire ruins was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Lin Dongjiu suddenly saw seven or eight Feng Yin Sect disciples and Kunlun Jiange disciples surrounding the building where he was. These disciples discussed it and seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. They took out their weapons and started bombarding the formations guarding the building.
No way, the building where Lin Dongjiu is located looks much taller than the dilapidated buildings nearby, as if it stands out from the crowd. Anyone who is not a fool will definitely choose this building to look for opportunities.
After all, this was the reason why he chose to enter this building in the first place.
Therefore, Lin Dongjiu was not surprised that there were many disciples attacking the formation.
He was not in a hurry to go out, but wanted to wait until they had exhausted their spiritual energy when they attacked the formation before going out.
The spiritual power of these disciples was released onto the formation like a flood that broke a dike, causing the formation to creak and shake.
About half an hour passed, and many disciples looked tired, but everyone must have secretly reserved some strength, otherwise they would not have the strength to fight for the opportunity when the formation was blasted away.
Many people use this mentality to fish in troubled waters in the team, otherwise this formation would have been blown away long ago.
After another half moment, several cracks appeared on the barrier of the formation, and then there was a crisp "pop" sound, and the barrier cracked.
The moment the formation broke down, all the disciples' eyes turned red. They immediately put away their spiritual power and rushed into the building crazily.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Dongjiu activated the Phantom Flash and quickly retreated outwards.
However, some sharp-eyed disciples discovered him and quickly shouted:
"Someone ran out of the building, it seems to be the demon Lin Dongjiu!"
"Don't even go in! I'm afraid the inside has been wiped out by that demon! All the treasures are on him, so hurry up and chase him!"
The disciples who were still rushing in without hesitation stopped suddenly. Hearing this, they felt that it made sense, and immediately changed direction and chased Lin Dongjiu.
If one or two late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm disciples chased him, Lin Dongjiu could kill him instantly, but he faced seven or eight late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm disciples, and these disciples were almost all the leaders of their sect.
Although he is not afraid, killing them will definitely take a lot of time and energy, and may attract more and more people, so it is not cost-effective no matter how you think about it.
However, even if he wanted to escape, there were many formations in this ruins, and even the streets were covered with formations, so it would be very difficult for him to escape.
Most of the places they landed were on the periphery of the ruins, and Lin Dongjiu was no exception. When he ran deeper into the ruins, he found that there were more and more formations on the streets, not to mention the air, they were all top-notch.
The killing formation was like a large net covering the top of the head.
When he reached a corner, there was a block of obstacles blocking his way. Lin Dongjiu gritted his teeth and activated the Phantom Flash again, passing directly through as if there was no obstacle.
When a few fast-moving disciples saw Lin Dongjiu passing through the formation easily, they thought that the formation in front had failed, so they followed suit and rushed forward.
The result was as expected, just like when Lin Dongjiu touched the formation for the first time, he was blown away far away.
The remaining disciples stopped one after another and watched Lin Dongjiu disappear. Although they were a little unwilling, but with a few lessons learned, no one dared to touch the large formation in front of them anymore. They all dispersed and went to look for other opportunities.
