Chapter 400: The Underground Palace!
"I don't have to die?" Luo Xia asked, puzzled.
However, before he could react...
Then he saw an extremely bright light, and two lines of bloody tears instantly streamed down his face. He subconsciously closed his eyes.
Then, a heart-wrenching scream and a painful howl were heard.
Then came an extreme chill, and Luo Xia instantly shivered.
Then... these roars lasted for less than a second before they stopped completely.
"What's going on?" Luo Xia opened his eyes only after confirming that there was no more bright light.
He rubbed his eyes, finally able to see everything around him clearly, and then stood there dumbfounded.
The area within several hundred meters had been completely transformed into a world of ice and snow.
Those monsters that were baring their fangs and claws just now have all turned into ice sculptures.
Luo Xia slowly raised his head and saw a figure floating above him.
"My lord, did you save me?" Luo Xia asked, trembling.
He wasn't entirely sure either, after all, there were hundreds of shadowy monsters here.
He, a peak seventh-tier expert, was utterly powerless against these monsters!
With so many monsters combined, they could instantly tear apart a level 7 or 8 powerhouse.
Who exactly has the ability to instantly freeze and kill these monsters completely?
Rorschach couldn't even imagine it, because he had never seen such a terrifying person!
Moreover, Xiao Yu was facing away from the sunlight at the moment, so Luo Xia couldn't see his appearance at all.
However, Rorschach suddenly had a feeling.
This figure was like a god, making people want to kneel down and worship.
"That's right!"
Xiao Yu nodded and slowly floated down.
"You are the Lord of Dragon City? Thank you for saving my life!" Upon seeing Xiao Yu's appearance clearly, Luo Xia was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to kowtow.
He naturally had no close contact with Xiao Yu.
However, when the group of experts were talking at the entrance of the ancient ruins, the three ninth-level powerhouses with the highest status—the Snow Night City Lord, the Sunset City Lord, and the Ghost Lamp City Lord—all surrounded Xiao Yu, clearly showing that they regarded him as their leader.
Everyone was utterly shocked to see this.
Therefore, Xiao Yu was naturally the person everyone was most curious about.
After all, he is still so young.
As a result, during the conversation, someone who recognized Xiao Yu soon revealed his identity.
Now, almost everyone who enters this ruin knows Xiao Yu.
"There's no need for that!" Seeing the other person about to kneel, Xiao Yu reached out to help him up and asked curiously, "What were those black balls you threw earlier? Why did they explode?"
These shadowy monsters are protected by a layer of liquid black gas, making them very difficult to kill.
However, just now, a single black ball was enough to kill several of them, even though they were all second or third tier.
However, this also shows that these black balls are definitely not simple.
Luo Xia thought for a moment and then explained, "This is a black flame bullet invented in my dungeon."
"An underground city?" Xiao Yu thought of something and tentatively asked, "Your city is underground? That's why it's called an underground city?"
“Yes, Lord of Dragon City!” Luo Xia nodded.
"It really is..." Xiao Yu's lips twitched, somewhat speechless.
This name is really capricious!
No wonder the old man was so pale, almost as pale as Master Ashu.
The underground city, a place where gunpowder could be invented, Xiao Yu noted.
It's important to know that gunpowder was one of the four great inventions of China in its previous life on Earth.
It has played a significant role in advancing the historical process.
If I have the chance, I might go and take a look.
It would be best to find out how the dungeons produced gunpowder.
Xiao Yu had already thought of a hundred ways to use gunpowder.
For example, if you put gunpowder on a crossbow, it becomes a rocket!
Although ferocious beasts and top-tier superhumans possess astonishing defensive capabilities, they are still made of flesh and blood.
No matter how formidable its surface defenses are, if you shoot it with a powerful crossbow, it will explode inside.
It is estimated that even a seventh or eighth-level expert or a ferocious beast would have a chance to be killed with a single sword strike.
However, there's no rush; we can discuss it later.
With that in mind, he stopped dwelling on the topic of names and asked again, "Where did you encounter these monsters? What did you do, and why did you attract so many monsters?"
According to the settings of fantasy novels...
Wherever monsters gather, there is either an overwhelming aura of evil, making it a suitable place for them to cultivate.
Or perhaps there are rare and precious treasures here!
“This…” Luo Xia thought for a moment and then smiled wryly, “Lord of Dragon City, I am an earth-type awakener. I came here by burrowing underground and accidentally discovered a large underground palace.”
After witnessing everything in Dragon City, he felt that the Dragon City Lord was extraordinary.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the case.
Therefore, he did not hide anything and told the truth directly.
Even if there might be some treasures inside this palace.
"Beneath these sect ruins... there's actually an underground palace?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback.
He hadn't really thought about this issue before.
So, once you enter the ruins, you're flying in the sky the whole time.
It turns out they have a hidden paradise underground!
"Take me to the palace!" Xiao Yu looked at the gray-haired old man and said in a deep voice, "In return, I can heal your injuries and take you out."
As he spoke, he glanced at the several bleeding wounds on Luo Xia's body and frowned slightly.
"Lord City Lord is too kind!"
Luo Xia gave a bitter smile, glanced down at the several hideous wounds on his body, and said with a wry smile, "I've heard that once you're scratched or bitten by this kind of monster, you're sure to die."
The blood flowing from his wounds was pitch black and had a foul stench.
Clearly, those shadowy monsters not only possessed terrifyingly strong attack power, but also astonishing defensive capabilities.
Once it scratches or bites someone, it will be entangled by the black energy and gradually turn into a monster.
But Rorschach had barely finished speaking.
Xiao Yu flicked his finger, and a stream of emerald light surged into his body.
The next second, the blood flowing from Luo Xia's wounds gradually changed from pitch black to dark red, and then, within a second or two, it turned bright red.
Clearly, the toxins in his body had been completely eliminated.
Even those deep, bone-revealing wounds are slowly healing.
If too much time passes after Luo Xia was bitten and scratched, it will be difficult for Xiao Yu to save him.
But since it was just scratched and hasn't completely eroded yet, it's not difficult to treat.
"Lord of Dragon City, I..." Luo Xia stared wide-eyed as he felt the changes within himself, unable to believe it.
He had seen this kind of situation before, where someone was scratched or bitten by a monster.
And those people all eventually turned into monsters! They were completely incurable!
This Lord of Dragon City is simply amazing!
If even this kind of injury can be healed, what about the illnesses of our people? Can they be healed as well?
Xiao Yu said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"
"But, Lord of Dragon City..."
Luo Xia gave another wry smile and advised, "Are you sure you want to go? Before I even entered the palace gates, I was chased by a huge group of monsters... You can imagine how many monsters are inside. Why don't we wait for the others to arrive? Besides, without earth-type abilities, surviving underground..."
He suspected that the people of this ancient sect had turned into monsters and were now sleeping in the palace.
The key issue is that we have no idea how much is inside.
If there are too many, or if the monsters inside are stronger.
Even the city lord of Dragon City wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Lead the way!" Xiao Yu was already impatient, and his face darkened.
This old man is so fussy and indecisive.
“I…” Luo Xia gave a wry smile and could only nod.
Then, he pointed in a direction and led Xiao Yu straight to their destination.
A moment later, Luo Xia pointed to a deep pit a hundred meters in diameter, the bottom of which could not be seen at a glance, and said, "Lord of Dragon City, after I escaped by burrowing underground, those monsters emerged from this pit. So, that palace should be down there."
"In that case, let's go down directly."
