"stop!"

Master Tan yelled angrily.

"Master Lu Fu, we have something to discuss."

Hu Zhenren forced a smile on his face and quickly comforted him.

A quasi-third-level talisman poses limited threat to the fake elixir real person.

However, [Thunder Talisman] is extraordinary.

The movement of this symbol is extremely powerful!

Once activated, it will alarm monsters within hundreds of miles.

The monsters in the Black Mist Mountains have sharp senses and can even be sensed from farther distances.

In the surrounding area, there are quasi-third-level monsters, and deeper there are large third-level monsters.

Once such a terrifying existence is introduced, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If Lu Changan activates the [Thunder Talisman], it will expose the location of the ancient ruins, which will definitely attract the exploration of powerful monsters in the surrounding area.

When the attention of the two real people was diverted.

Whoosh!

Master Shixianzi flashed and returned to Lu Changan.

She clenched her silver teeth, with a determined look on her face, and presented a prototype of a golden ring-shaped magic weapon.

Then he turned behind Lu Changan and put his back to his back to prevent one of the real people from attacking Lu Changan from behind.

Seeing her performance in his eyes, Lu Changan nodded secretly.

Shi Xianzi must have given up on seeking refuge.

If you join the two real people, your wealth and life will be decided by others.

The restriction placed on her by Master Qi decades ago left a deep shadow.

Right now, she is cooperating with Lu Changan, but there is still some possibility of resistance.

"Two real people, if you don't want to expose the location of the ancient ruins, just listen to what Lu has to say."

Lu Changan said slowly.

"Little friend Lu, please speak."

Hu Zhenren looked friendly and made eye contact with Tan Zhenren, feeling a little helpless.

The strength of Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi exceeded the ordinary late stage of foundation building, and the fake Danzhenren could not kill them quickly.

"In addition to the thunder talisman, Lu also has other means to threaten the fake elixir real person."

Lu Changan said slowly.

After hearing this, the two real people looked thoughtful and didn't know how much they believed it.

Lu Changan continued: "We agree to assist the two real people in exploring the ancient ruins. At that time, what you gain in the ruins will all depend on your luck and ability."

"We have no objection to Lu Xiaoyou's proposal."

Master Tan and Master Hu quickly reached an agreement.

No matter what, let’s stabilize Lu Changan first.

…

"Little friend Lu and Master Shi, please come in."

On the mountain wall level with the swamp, there is a stone door leading to the underground.

Two fake elixir masters and three foundation-building monks were in a row.

Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi stood on the other side.

The three foundation-building monks looked at the two new members with complicated expressions.

"go in."

Lu Changan and Shi Manrong made eye contact.

They have been waiting for this ancient ruins for many years. At this time, advancing before retreating is the best choice.

The two fake Dan masters will never allow them to leave.

The two of them entered the stone gate together.

Inside the stone gate, there is a tunnel that continues underground.

The further down you go, the more open the ground becomes.

During this time, Lu Changan smelled a hint of the putrid smell of the swamp.

It is obvious that the ancient ruins that the tunnel leads to are located further below the poisonous swamp.

In the process of going down.

Master Tan and Master Hu followed behind, showing no intention of taking action.

Before closing the stone gate, Hu Zhenren strengthened the third-level covering formation outside and added restrictions.

Not long after.

When the tunnel reaches the end, a bright and open underground space appears in front of us.

A group of exotic ancient buildings, shrouded in the dim light of the broken formation, spread for dozens of miles.

After a long period of time, the power of the formation has been lost, and the surfaces of those ancient buildings have also become weathered. In a few areas, there is a scene of ruins with broken walls.

At first glance, it looks like a forgotten ancient city.

"This ruins was once the habitat of an ancient civilization. After countless years of changes and vicissitudes of life, this ruins was discovered by a recent ancient sect and transformed into a refuge and backup treasure house."

Lu Changan recalled the information in the jade tube.

After entering the Black Mist Mountains, Shi Manrong gave him a jade tube and briefly described the general situation of the ruins.

"On the periphery of the ruins, the formations are incomplete and not even one out of ten remains. However, we must still be careful of possible hidden restrictions and traps."

"Inside and in the center of the ruins, there is a relatively complete fourth-order residual formation. It is more powerful than the ordinary third-order formation and is difficult to attack by force. In addition to the formations and restrictions, there are also some unknown risks."

"Back then, Master Qi broke open a key formation gate in the ruins and discovered the 'Yin Yang Water' and the 'Xuan Tian Vine'. Unfortunately, he was caught in a trap and died."

…

"Fairy Master, the path in this area is about six or seven miles. We have checked it before and confirmed that there is no danger."

The short Mr. Hu stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed at a gap in the formation outside the ruins.

"There is a big gap in the formation here. I also started from here decades ago. However, the formation in the ruins has a certain automatic repair function."

The two formation mages kept their distance and discussed the formation restrictions in the ruins.

It seems that Master Tan and Master Hu have no intention of taking action anytime soon.

After all, Shi Manrong and Lu Changan are of great use in conquering and exploring ancient ruins.

If they use force, Lu Changan and his two men are very powerful, but they will end up dead together, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Once you enter the ancient ruins, you cannot leave easily.

By then, what big opportunity will there be, and you can’t just rely on your fists?

Once the utilization value is drained out, it won’t be too late to make the final settlement.

"Two fake elixir masters, including a third-level formation mage, and three strong foundation-building experts will attack the ancient ruins together. The chance of winning and the error-tolerance rate will be greatly increased."

"Where can I find such a lineup?"

Lu Changan thought to himself.

Master Tan led the way, heading towards the central area of ​​the ancient ruins through the proven path.

Along the way, Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi stopped and walked, exploring nearby ancient buildings, gardens, and ruins.

This made the two real people look impatient.

"I've been exploring this area for several months and there's nothing of value. There's no need to waste time."

Tan Zhenren said bluntly.

Lu Changan understands this principle. This path has been explored twice in decades.

Shi Xianzi and Qi Zhenren did it once, but this time is the second time.

If there was any treasure, it should have fallen into the pockets of a few real people long ago.

But out of caution, Lu Changan wanted to find out the nearby geographical environment and investigate possible hidden dangers.

We must especially be on guard against Master Hu, a third-level formation mage, who has hidden formation traps around him.

The formations set up by third-level formation masters pose a considerable threat to true elixir cultivators.
