Xianlu

Chapter 172

Six mana-powered ropes hung down, and in a trance, three Shezhao Taoists were caught up, leaving only two hanging in mid-air, and the last empty rope dangling in front of Xu Dao.

The sound of clicking and clicking continued to come from the water layer, making people shudder.

Suddenly a trembling voice sounded: "Chief, Elder, I don't think I need to go up now."

It was a Taoist who was still hanging in the air talking, Xu Dao heard this and found that this person was his acquaintance, the old centipede.

The old centipede's teeth were trembling, and he looked terribly frightened, but when he sensed something was wrong, his mana immediately stirred up, trying to break free from the ropes wrapped around his body, so as not to be caught by the Taoist priests into the water.

"Hohohoho!" There was a burst of laughter, and the three Taoist priests who had caught the "fish and shrimp" opened their mouths to laugh, and the fragments of stumps spewed out of their mouths.

They wagged their tongues and said, "The little guy doesn't know what's good and what's wrong! Fellow Daoist, work hard, be careful to eat the bait and run away."

"Quick! Don't get unhooked!"

The Taoist priest who was pulling the old centipede squeezed a few people away, lying on top of the old centipede with a huge figure, and said in a gentle voice: "Come up quickly, this elder has something for you!"

"Ah! There was another scream, but it was the other Taoist who was hanging in mid-air with the old centipede who reacted.

He saw the huge figure of the Taoist priest in the water layer, and the three accomplices who had turned into a cloud of blood mist, his face was terrified, and his reaction was bigger than that of the old centipede.

"Demon monster, you are not elders!"

This person circulated all his mana, and green smoke rose above his head, wanting to cut off the rope hanging from him immediately.

But the Taoist priest who was fishing for him was obviously not easy to deal with, only to hear a muffled voice: "It's so noisy, come up!"

The Taoist priest in the water layer grabbed the rope and shook it, then he straightened up suddenly, and his mana began to work.

This action immediately broke up the struggle of the Taoists below, broke through the formation of the Dragon Palace, and caught the Taoists into the water layer.

"Fellow Daoist!" There was a burst of discussion, and several Taoist priests opened their mouths to praise:
"Good fishing!"

On the other side, the old centipede seemed dumbfounded by fright. He stared blankly at the last companion beside him who was also arrested, and suddenly lost his mind.

But several malicious eyes fell on him, which made the old centipede terrified. He didn't dare to be distracted at all. He trembled, and quickly took out the gleaming talisman money, medicinal materials and other things from his pocket. .

"Elder wait a minute, the little one has something for you!"

The old centipede was waving and yelling as he took something out of his bag, trying to get the Taoist's attention.But the eyes of the Taoist priests staring at him were filled with mockery, without mercy or kindness.

One by one, the old centipede had no time to take it back, his hands were trembling, and the things fell to the ground in a mess.

Such an act of surviving caused the Taoist priests to laugh wildly and excitedly.

Finally, the Taoist who was pulling the old centipede also lost his patience. It grabbed the rope and slammed it upwards. With a few clicks, it also pried open the Dragon Palace formation, and pulled out the old centipede's body.

When the old centipede was broken, he jerked his body and closed his eyes tightly, as if he fainted from fright.

"Hey!" The Taoist priest who caught the old centipede was ecstatic. It quickly opened its huge mouth, rolled out its tongue, and swallowed the old centipede's body in one gulp.

This Taoist priest is a monster in the shape of a toad. It even stroked its big gray belly, shook its body, and hiccupped.

In just ten breaths of time, the five Daoists of Shezhao, who showed off their might, were taken out of the Dragon Palace one after another and filled the stomachs of others.

Near the iron minaret, only Xu Dao was left alive, and he became quite quiet.And he was staring at the last rope, his mind was going back and forth, and his body had already tensed up.

As long as the rope tended to swing towards him, Xu Dao would rush into the evil wind without hesitation to prevent himself from being caught by the Taoist priest.

Fortunately, the last rope did not move, but swayed and swayed, which was quite boring.

There was a voice of conversation in the water layer, it was the Taoist priest holding the empty rope, and it yelled at the toad Taoist priest who had just swallowed the old centipede:

"Hey! Toad, how did it taste?"

"Hmm..." Taoist Toad heard this and turned his head to look at the other party. It clutched its belly and said in embarrassment, "It's like swallowing a jujube whole. I only know that there is something in my stomach, but I don't know what it feels like."

The Taoist priest holding the empty rope shook his head, and said in a voice, "It's unlucky, I didn't get a chance to pick five out of six."

"Haha!" A few Taoist priests next to them laughed, "It's not very tasteful, it's not very tasteful!"

"Why do fellow Taoists care about this? They are mere Taoists, and they are not panaceas. There is nothing worth worrying about."

Seeing this, the empty-handed Taoist snorted coldly, and muttered: "I think so too. Most of the spiritual power of the Shengxian fruit was fed to Jiao corpses. What these Taoists got was only the fruit residue. You can just eat some residue. What a joy."

After finishing speaking, the Taoist priest held the rope in his hand and swam towards the direction of the mirage without looking back.

Seeing this, several other Taoist priests muttered in their mouths: "Tsk! This guy has bad luck, who is to blame?"

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Linghu is still a guest, so he didn't say anything?"

Xu Dao heard the sound, moved his eyes, and found that Linghu Taoist priest was the only one among the seven Taoist priests who did not let go of the rope.

"No wonder the seven Taoist priests only put down six ropes." He knew it in his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without waiting for Taoist to think too much, he heard the Taoist priests roaring in the sky: "Fellow Taoist Linghu, let's follow quickly."

"There is also good food over there, so you can go fishing with us and enjoy the fun."

"Good!" The huge fox body swayed in the water layer, and it agreed without any hesitation.

Speaking of the scene just now, Taoist Linghu was also very greedy,
It's just because the five Taoist priests of Shezhao are all late-stage Taoist disciples, and they still "take" the Immortal Immortal Fruit. Go to Taoist Linghu to do it.

Fortunately, Dragon Palace has entered 10 people, and it has a lot of good food.

In the deep lake with little light, six huge black shadows also swam past Xu Dao's head one by one, running towards the direction where the mirage was raging.

When the waves in the water layer subsided, there was nothing in the sky above the iron tower, and all the blood and water dissipated, as if the horrifying scene just now had never happened.

Only some talismans and sundries thrown by the old centipede were scattered on the ground of the Dragon Palace, which showed that what Xu Dao saw just now was not an illusion.

Even though the seven Taoist priests left one after another, Xu Dao didn't jump out of his hiding place immediately, he still held his breath and concentrated, without moving a muscle.

He didn't heave a sigh of relief until he saw seven more ropes hanging down in the direction of Mirage Jiao from afar.

But Xu Dao still held the jade hook, trying his best to restrain his aura, so as not to expose his whereabouts inadvertently.He stood up straight, boarded a height, looked up at the scene where the mirage was, and fell silent.

I saw seven ropes hanging in mid-air, and one figure after another was lifted up.There were even several figures climbing one after the other on the rope, connecting them into a string, like a bead curtain.

These are living people who have survived from the mouth of the mirage due to various chances and coincidences, and have benefited greatly.

There are quite a few of them. Even if there is one in a hundred miles, hundreds of people out of 10 people can still survive.It's just that these people get out of Jiao's mouth and enter Taoist's mouth again, and most of them are also in danger of losing their lives.

In Xu Dao's sight, these people were crawling on the rope that the Taoist priest had put down, all of them panicked, as if they were grabbing at straws, just like the five Taoist priests who had just been devoured.

Compared with the scene just now, what made him even more embarrassed was that because there were only seven ropes lowered from outside the Dragon Palace, many people still fought on the ropes.

If the first climber climbs too slowly, the later climber will directly drag down the person above; if the later climber climbs too fast, the first climber will kick down with his feet, intending to kick the person below away.

After silently watching for dozens of breaths, Xu Dao shook his head and looked back, but his face was still extremely gloomy.

Although according to the scene seen, the seven Taoist priests were feasting and had no time to take care of Xu Dao.But this situation also shows that if Xu Dao wants to get out of the Dragon Palace alive, he has no other way.

Either run to the iron tower with a jade hook and try to open the gate, or climb up along the rope that the Taoist priests put down, praying that the Taoist priests are full and will not eat him again.

As for these two choices, Xu Dao didn't need to think about them at all, he would only choose the former one.

Even if he couldn't open the iron minaret, or if he opened it, the tower was not a safe place, Xu Dao would eventually choose to run to the border of the Dragon Palace formation, and wait until the evil spirit destroyed the entire Dragon Palace formation, and then Waiting for an opportunity to escape.

He thought to himself that he practiced both celestial and martial arts, and he practiced a variety of spells to purify his heart, so he should be able to barely survive the outbreak of evil spirit.

With so many thoughts in his mind, Xu Dao turned around. He glanced at the evil wind that was still expanding and becoming stronger. He tightened his robe tightly, and without any hesitation in his heart, he lowered his head and stepped into In the midst of evil spirits.

呲呲!

The first moment he entered the baleful energy, Xu Dao felt a shock in his head, as if thousands of steel knives were slashing at every part of his body, shaking his body, as if it would shatter in the next moment Same.

Almost at the same time, a manic feeling also rose in Xu Dao's heart, constantly bombarding his altar.

Fortunately, this is not the first time he has come into contact with evil spirits, and he has used evil spirits before, so he is not a stranger. He stabilized his body in time, and strode away. In front of the tower.

The iron tower was wrapped in the howling evil wind, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, Xu Dao didn't know how long he could hold out in the evil wind, so he had to act quickly.

Xu Dao grabbed the breath-holding jade hook and passed it directly to the lock key of the iron door.

There was a groove on the iron gate on the pagoda, the size of which was just in line with the jade hook in his hand. After the jade hook was placed on it, the hook would emit light by itself, and a spiritual energy circulated in it.

In an instant, the lines on the iron gate twisted and wandered crazily, emitting a light like a jade hook.

A flood dragon carved on the iron gate suddenly appeared, its scales rustled, its claws tore its mane and danced, as if it was about to fly out from the iron gate.

At the eyes of the dragon pattern is the jade hook that Xu Dao just placed.

Fortunately, although this scene was miraculous, the movement was not too big, and the dragon pattern on the iron gate didn't really jump out to bite Xu Dao.Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for Xu Dao whether it alarmed the Taoist priest who was "fishing" or attacked him.

Kaka, the dragon pattern is swimming silently, entrenched in the room.

The iron gate collapsed inwards, cracked a person-high opening, and formed a stairway, occupying the high place leading to the iron tower. The inside was pitch black, making it difficult to see the specific situation of the passageway.

Only two simple characters appear on the first step of the ladder, "Hualong".

"Turning a cage... a dragon?" Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Dao paused slightly, and was about to step inside immediately.

Whoosh!
But at this moment, suddenly a golden light shot from behind him, trying to get into the door first.

When the golden light suddenly appeared, Xu Dao was slightly startled, but when he raised his eyelids, he snorted coldly, and raised his hand to cast out several spells.

Clap!The spell hit the golden light, hit the light firmly, and slapped it into the soil.

Xu Dao didn't think too much, and while stepping into the iron tower, he slapped again, ready to kill and shatter that thing.

At this moment, Xu Dao's slightly familiar voice called out:

"Fellow Daoist, forgive me!"

Hearing this voice, Xu Dao frowned, but he still sneered, and struck out a ruthless move, hitting the golden light.

"Ah!" Immediately there was another scream, which made Xu Dao vaguely confirm the identity of the other party.So he stood inside the iron tower door, just blocking the entrance, and lowered his eyes to look down.

A golden-yellow centipede several feet long appeared in Xu Dao's eyes. Black smoke was emitting from the centipede's body, and its body was covered with cuts and bruises. It looked miserable.

"Old centipede?" Xu Dao raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised in his mouth.

This golden-yellow centipede was the centipede monster that had met him once and "died" once in his hands.

In an instant, Xu Dao became interested.

The body of the old centipede has been swallowed by Taoist Toad, and there is not even a residue left, but this beast is still alive.And by the looks of it, its Yin spirit was still hidden in the centipede's body, and survived.

Xu Dao thought to himself: "If you really have a good skill, this guy can escape his life under the eyes of a Taoist priest."

It's just a coincidence that the old centipede wanted to take advantage of him and Xu, and it seemed that he was really impatient and wanted to die.

Xu Dao restrained the seriously injured golden centipede, he stretched out his hand to catch it, squinting his eyes to size it up.
