Welcome to Xiuzhen Academy

"What big fish and small fish are you talking about? What are you talking about!" Mu Buwan pulled her, "Quickly leave! Waiting to die!"

"Ding!" A faint voice rang.

A copper coin fell from the astrolabe and fell to the ground.

Hai Jianchuan's eyes lit up, he rushed over, picked up the copper coins from the ground, and rushed into the stone door.

Snakes crawl out along the slots. These slots are located inside the stone door, that is, in the mountain, so the space behind the door is safe because there are no snakes.

Entered the stone gate.

"Pull the gate!" Sai Mi shouted, struggling to pull down the gate behind the door.

It was too heavy, and several people worked together to finally lower the gate. The stone door closed again, shutting out the spiders and snakes.

Umikawa breathed a long sigh of relief: "Let them bite dogs."

He happily touched the copper coin and said, "I have also found the missing part, so that's it!"

"Here..." Qi You suddenly spoke. He had turned around and looked at the space inside the stone gate.

When Yu Qian heard this, he also retracted his hand and turned back.

For a moment, she almost thought she was back in the auction house.

The splendor in front of her almost blinded her - a majestic palace, stone statues of soldiers on both sides of the road, majestic beasts carved on the pillars, complicated and exquisite murals, and sparkling gems everywhere.

The mural directly in front is of a soaring dragon. Such a huge carving makes the people standing at its feet look particularly small.

Hai Jianchuan held the copper coin in his hand: "Oh my God! This can't be the Dragon Palace, right? Snakes turn into dragons, and dragons turn into dragons."

Mu Buwan deeply agreed: "There are so many jewels here. Isn't it said that the Dragon Clan likes to collect all kinds of shiny gems?"

Yu Qian knocked a few gems from the mural and put them into his pocket, and asked, "Is this the final destination of the treasure map?"

"Yes." Mu Buwan pointed to the lines on the treasure map, "Going through the palace is the exit corridor."

"Then let's go forward." Yu Qian said, "Semi and I haven't found the missing part of the weapon yet. I can't say what else is ahead."

After saying this, several people were instantly offended by the shocking impact of the scene in front of them and the possible dangers that might accompany it, and they all became vigilant.

"Click."

As soon as he moved his steps, a voice came from the floor tiles under his feet.

Mu Buwan stood stiffly on the spot: "Fuck! There's a mechanism!" She jumped back quickly to prevent any changes.

"Wha—" The surrounding stone statues took a step forward in unison, and the thick sound was deafening.

There were no flying hidden arrows, no falling rocks, and no gap suddenly appeared in the ground.

Just the uniform movements of the dummy.

As if they were lining up to welcome, the stone statues raised their weapons, took a step forward and then stopped moving.

Mu Buwan took another tentative step forward: "Then... let's go?"

"Let's go." Yu Qian looked at her and said, "There is no way out anyway."

Walking past the array of dummies, high steps appeared in front of them, and on the steps was a throne.

There is no sculptural dummy on the throne, it is empty except for a pure black object.

"Is that black gold meteorite?" Hai Mikawa said suddenly.

Sammy looked at him: "Are you sure?"

He nodded affirmatively. Black gold meteorite is a weapon-refining treasure that has been recorded in ancient books, and it has the greatest benefit for cold weapons.

Sai Mi walked up without saying a word, picked up the piece of iron, and asked Qi You: "Can this also be refined? Can it be used to strengthen my weapon?"

Qi You said uncertainly: "Show me."

Sammy handed it to him.

"It's a bit difficult. The power it contains is too strong. I don't know if it will work with my current level of cultivation." Qi Youyou said, "If you are not in a hurry, just wait and see when I break through."

Sammy nodded: "Okay."

"Why are the stone statues here so shabby?" Mu Buwan suddenly asked.

The stone statues around the throne were all damaged for some reason, and some fell to the ground with broken arms and legs.

Compared to the majesty of the "soldiers" who just entered, the stone statues here are like a pile of randomly discarded garbage falling to the ground.

The posture of the only complete stone statue is also very strange - it maintains an upward movement, but its facial expression is very urgent, and its outstretched right hand seems to be trying to grab something.

Yu Qian walked over: "Besides, this stone statue is too..."

She thought for a while before she came up with a more suitable word: "It's too modern."

The soldiers who entered were all wearing armor and holding weapons, but the stone statue in front of them was still wearing shirts and trousers, and had no weapons in its hands.

"Maybe the dragons have some strange habits." Umikawa tried to find a reasonable reason.

Yu Qian stopped circling the stone statue to observe. She bent down and looked at the object held tightly in the stone statue's hand: "Look, what is this."

This stone statue is lifelike and the carving technique is superb. For example, when the fist is clenched hard, the veins and muscles on the back of its hand are vividly restored.

Qi You leaned over and said, "Holy shit! Is this a jade sign!?"

The expressions of several people suddenly changed.

Mu Buwan immediately called out the jade card in his hand - this is the "student ID card" that all students get on the first day they enter Penglai.

The carvings on the jade tablet are very exquisite. Except for the font in the middle, the surrounding jade stones are all carved with auspicious cloud patterns.

And this pattern is exactly the same as the corner exposed in the hand of the stone statue.

"We are not the first people to come here." Yu Qian straightened up and walked towards the damaged stone statue on the other side.

"There's this one too!" Hai Jianchuan shouted, pointing to the broken stone on the ground, which looked like a jade pendant, "It also has a jade medal on it!"

These stone statues have jade tablets in their hands or on the ground.

"Do you remember the function of the jade tablet, right?" Mu Buwan said, "It is the key to Penglai, and it also contains huge spiritual power. It can be said to be the last life-saving trump card for all monks, and it can also be used as a backup 'reserve food'. I had already used up the spiritual power in the jade pendant before I was eaten by the monster."

As she spoke, she displayed the jade token. The jade token that was originally full of spiritual power dimmed at the moment: "These people, before they had time to use the jade token, they turned into... like this..."

She didn’t finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant——

Something must have happened to them that they couldn't react to, and they died here without enough time to respond. The frightened and confused expression on the stone statue's face was vivid, and that moment must have been very fast.

In other words, there is a powerful enemy here that they can't resist. They don't even have the capital to fight to the death, and they don't have the ability to fight to the death, so they are easily killed.

Either way, it's not good news.

Yu Qian looked at the only intact stone statue. The shock in its eyes seemed to have broken through the shackles of the stone statue, and was more vivid than the real person.

Her voice was filled with secret excitement: "Is the big fish here?"
