Chapter 177: Fortune Reigns
As for how Gu Li stole a large number of source crystals in the inner city of the Thunder Ancient City, where it was very difficult to move simply, Tian Xian never asked.
Because from the situation of the Thunder Ancient City that Tian Xian learned, as well as Gu Li's own strength level, Tian Xian concluded that Gu Li had used some extraordinary means, which was almost completely impossible, otherwise, with her strength, I am afraid it would be very difficult to connect to the inner city.
This special means must be Gu Li's secret, and Tian Xian will never ask about this kind of secret that is likely to be the ultimate means of preserving life.
Tianxian didn't expect that Gu Li would take the initiative to bring up this matter herself.
"Want to know?"
Gu Li was a little proud, looking at Tianxian with a little smile in the corner of her eyes, as if to say: If you want to know, just say it...... Sister will consider it!
Don't be fooled when you're free.
Although Tian Xian has not dealt with Gu Li too much, but now Tian Xian feels that he has grasped the characteristics of Gu Li's temperament a little, at this time if you ask her something, she will definitely tease you triumphantly for a long time, and then tell the truth.
"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me. Tian Xian shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, you don't want to be strenuous lately, as for your leg, I still need to think of a way, and I will try to make it recover as soon as possible." ”
Clapping his hands, Tianxian turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, don't go! I haven't finished my words yet!" Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped forward and grabbed Tianxian.
Tian Xian smiled secretly.
"Hey...... But I have something serious to say to you, why do you look like you are ignoring it! This is also very important to you! Aren't you going to go to the inner city to meet those old immortal fellows? I'm afraid it will take decades to get into that area!"
This sentence really moved the idle talk.
The powerful oppressive force in the Thunder Ancient City has already been understood, if you don't rely on the power of the evil eye, you will already be restrained in your activities outside the Tooth Crushing City, this has not yet reached the outer city, according to what Zhuoma said, among the hundreds of thousands of Stigmata inheritors, there are only a few hundred people who can reach the inner city......
Tian Xian is not arrogant enough to think that if others can reach the inner city, he can do it himself.
To put it bluntly, he may not even be a stigmata inheritor now. What can be used to fight against the growing oppressive forces of the Thunder Ancient City?
"Okay. Let's talk about it!"
Gu Li got proud, I have a big sister I know you won't go, move your body, Gu Li carefully took back the injured leg. Pat the bed board opposite. "Come and sit!"
I don't hesitate to spend my days free. Sitting directly in front of Gu Li, holding his chin in one hand, he asked with some curiosity: "How did you get to the inner city?" With your strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to get there!"
Gu Li was not angry at all, but was very serious, and couldn't hide it and said proudly: "Of course! In a place like the inner city, in the entire human continent, there are probably only about a thousand people who can easily reach it, and they are all perverted to the point that they don't look like human beings, and a small character like me doesn't have that terrifying strength." ”
"But ......" Gu Li smiled as soon as the conversation changed, "Nothing is absolute, and I actually discovered this secret by accident, huh...... This can be regarded as a loophole in the ancient city of thunder!"
"Loopholes!?" Tian Xian was surprised in his heart, could it be that the power oppression of the Thunder Ancient City, which has no dead ends at all, still has some invisible loopholes.
"Yes! It's a loophole! but ...... Maybe it's not a loophole, but I took advantage of the very unusual conditions, and then infiltrated the inner city by normal means, without anyone knowing!"
I don't interrupt the day, listen to the following quietly.
Gu Li recalled and said, "This matter, in fact, has to start after I left the Silent Forest, you know...... Well, I didn't really have any destination, I just walked around blankly......"
With a little helplessness in her eyes, Gu Li continued: "But soon Zhuoya found me, she was ordered to take my head back to the Holy Spirit Temple, I am not an opponent at all, I can only run for my life all the way, it's okay...... My stigmata are fast-moving, especially during the day, making it difficult for Zoya to kill me. ”
"It was a hard time...... "Guli exhaled, as if spitting out something heavy in her heart.
"I will try my best to escape during the day, and I will rest a little at night, but I don't dare to rest for too long, because in the dark, Zhuoya will catch up silently, and I was chased by her to the end of the road, and it was at that time that I thought of the place of Thunder Ancient City. ”
Smiling bitterly, Gu Li laughed at herself: "At that time, I did think that if you were here, you might be able to help me a little, after all...... We are no longer enemies, and we have a little friendship. ”
"It's a pity...... I went to the Thunder Ancient City with great difficulty, and spent three days exploring around, but found that you didn't come here at all, I was alone, there was nothing, in order not to reveal my whereabouts, I took a risk to advance to the outer city, and when I could barely resist the pressure in the air, I discovered a secret!"
Speaking of this, Gu Li's eyes lit up, "It turns out that there are not only us humans in this ancient city, but also many other strange creatures!"
"Other strange creatures?" Tian Xian blinked, "those aliens?"
Gu Li smiled, "They are also humanoids, I am talking about those beings that are completely different from humans, very magical, and even illusory!"
Tian Xian suddenly became interested, "What is it, a life similar to an ethereal spirit?"
"No, I don't know what the ethereal spirit looks like, I haven't seen it, I see something like a cloud of smoke, very faint, very big! like a fog! But I'm sure it's some kind of creature! Because I felt some kind of thought about it, and it was it that brought me into the inner city!"
"Huh?" "You mean there's a huge monster that took you into the inner city!"
Speaking of this, Guli was very excited. nodded again and again: "Yes, it took me in, otherwise with my strength, I wouldn't even be able to get close to the outer city, let alone the inner city!"
Tian Xian was puzzled, "The Thunder Ancient City has been stored for thousands of years, and I don't know how many Stigmata Inheritors have cultivated here, if there is such a monster, it would have been discovered a long time ago!"
"Dead imp!, you don't believe me!?"
"No!" Tianxian tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I believe what you said is true. But what the hell is that monster. How did you find out?"
Seeing that Tianxian believed in herself, Gu Li became a little excited again, and this time she simply said with her eyebrows fluttering: "This is the biggest secret! That monster, that monster is actually not very unusual." I just said that. This place. In fact, there are many strange creatures!"
"Are you saying there are actually a lot of those monsters!?" Tian Xian was even more surprised, if Gu Li was telling the truth, then it was already difficult to understand why those strange things had not been discovered for so many years. And if there are a lot of these things, then it's simply ......
It's completely impossible! Could it be that the hundreds of thousands of stigmata cultivators in the Thunder Ancient City were all blind and deaf?
Gu Li's eyes flashed, as if she knew what Tian Xian was thinking, "Is it strange? Actually, this is not strange, because everyone actually knows their existence, but they don't care about it at all!"
What does this mean?
Looking at Tian Xian's puzzled expression with great satisfaction, Gu Li just smiled and looked at Tian Xian for a while before saying: "In the Moon of Remnant Blood, many creatures that don't usually appear will move around, this is already common knowledge in the Human Continent, right?"
Tianxian suddenly woke up!
"You mean the dark creatures!?"
"Not bad!"
Gu Li nodded, "I sneaked into the Thunder Ancient City, even if I went to the outer city, I naturally couldn't go with the others, and in the Moon of Remnant Blood, no one would choose to blonde the ancient city late at night, so I naturally chose that time." ”
Tianxian sweated slightly, Gu Li had a very hard time these days.
The Moon of Remnant Blood is the darkest period of time in the entire human continent, the days are very short, the nights are long, and those countless dark creatures are not just legends, they are real, in this time full of evil smell, they will crawl out of the dark abyss and wreak havoc on the entire human continent.
Guli chose to go out late at night in the Moon of Blood, which was definitely a risky move.
"I think that as long as there is a glimmer of light, even with the glimmer of the Blood Moon, I can avoid danger. Guli continued, with a hint of self-deprecation, "As a result, I quickly learned that I was wrong......
"I'm entangled in something!" Gu Li recalled, as if the scene was too terrifying, and she still had a look of fear on her face now, "I wanted to get out, but my stigma didn't work, it was too big for me to get out of it, and after I tried to escape by all means, I found something that made me laugh and cry." ”
Gu Li looked at Tian Xian helplessly, "Actually, that thing didn't pay attention to me at all, it seemed to just want to go to the center of the sacred mountain, and it happened to bump into me, but because of the strange nature of my stigma, it was confined to that huge fog and couldn't get out." ”
"Your stigma?" Tian Xian looked at Gu Li's feet intentionally or unintentionally, her stigma was a little special, it was on her ankles.
"My Hidden Stigmata allowed me to move freely where there was light, and when I felt something around me, I quickly tried to use the stigmata to get out, but I tried many times to no avail, and I was still enveloped by the strange feeling of being large, and then ...... I find that I can't get back to my old self at all?"
Tian Xian froze, "I can't restore my original appearance, what does that mean?"
"I'm locked up in the shadow of the light!" Gu Li smiled bitterly, "It seems that the body of that thing is an extremely strange environment, there is light, but I can't get out of the light again, as if I am completely locked in an invisible world, to be honest, at that time I thought I was finished! I was devoured by some dark creature, but I didn't expect ......"
The helpless look on Gu Li's face turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and he said excitedly: "That thing just moved to the area of the inner city at dawn, and under the sunlight, it gradually dissipated like fog. I was able to get out, and that's it...... It's in the inner city!"
"Huh?"
Tianxian looked at Gu Li, who was flushed with excitement, with some disbelief, "You...... That's how you got to the inner city!"
"Hmm!" said Gu Li quickly, "I didn't expect it, but ...... I found myself startled when I arrived in the inner city, I had never heard of such a thing before, but ...... But I'm really in the inner city! It's surprisingly small in that place, and I've been standing there for a long time, and I haven't seen a single figure in the whole inner city!"
"You're alone?"
"Hmm......" Gu Li thought for a moment and speculated. "There are very few people in the inner city. The west gate of the Thunder Ancient City is the most difficult of the four gates, and it has always had the least number of people cultivating here, and it is reasonable that there are very few people in the inner city here, it seems that it is ...... There were only forty or so people. And they're not in the inner city most of the time. Instead, he cultivated outside the city. Only come back when you have a break. ”
"And I arrived at daybreak, for the days of the Moon of Blood were short, and they had already hurried out of the city. It seems that the elders of the ancient city also took some people to the divine domain inside to do something to investigate, that day...... It seems like I'm alone in the inner city. ”
When Tian Xian heard this, he felt that the woman in front of him was simply an invincible lucky star!
"That place is very small!" Speaking of the inner city, Gu Li was still very excited, and there was a burning light in his eyes, "Only one percent of this tooth city is a big percent, after all, there are only a few dozen people living there, but everything there is amazing! Because there was no one, I walked around and found a lot of precious gems, as well as stigmata, as well as some extremely valuable ancient utensils, and some books written in ancient gods, almost all of them are treasures!"
Tian Xian thought to himself, you are obviously looting! I really pity those powerful Stigmata Inheritors, they probably didn't expect that when they were out, there would be such an unexpected thief visiting their lair.
Thinking of the scene that day, Gu Li was extremely excited, "This is just the things they put in their residences at will, and the really valuable items are protected by their powerful prohibitions, I can't touch them at all, but even those things have already made me picky." ”
"Please...... Sister, you're a thief, don't say it's like going to the trading market!"
Gu Li was on the rise, just glared at Tianxian, and said: "It's a pity that those things are too high-grade, I can't use them at all, and in the end I chose the most affordable thing, that is, those source crystals!
"Then how did you get back?" asked Tian Xian helplessly.
"Of course I escaped back!" Gu Li sighed a little bit, "I took the source crystal, and it happened that the spirit kite raised in the city came with the news, saying that the boy with the evil eye had arrived in the West Tooth City, and I was a thief, so naturally I rushed back to find you immediately!" However, although I don't have to worry too much about the oppressive force of the ancient city on the way back, and I can move with the help of the stigma during the day, those guys in the inner city are still too strong, and it didn't take long for them to notice, and someone chased after them from behind, fortunately, I have run far away, and Zhuo Ya has taught me a lot of hiding skills, although I was a little injured, but I still escaped without revealing my identity. ”
"After that...... You'll know what happened after that. Speaking of Zhuoya, Gu Li sighed softly.
Tian Xian thought carefully about Gu Li's words and said, "That is to say...... You actually arrived in the inner city by accident, because you ran into some kind of unknown giant dark creature while using the stigma!"
"Hmm!" Gu Li nodded, "That's why I said this is a loophole! You can't go out at night in the Blood Remnant Moon, this is already an attempt by the entire Elda Continent, even those powerful guys in the inner city, and my Hidden Light Stigmata is actually a stigmata that has only been newly discovered by the Holy Spirit Temple in recent years, and there was no such stigmata inheritor in the past, so ......"
"It's dangerous!"
Tian Xian knew what Gu Li was thinking, and said seriously: "This is an accident, maybe the next time you encounter this situation, you will disappear directly after using the stigma, or that monster will think you are very annoying and kill you casually, or you will not meet the same kind of dark creature at all next time, or you will not be in the inner city at all at dawn...... This qiē is all accidental, and it is impossible to achieve it a second time!"
"I ......" Gu Li was full of excitement, but she was like pouring a basin of cold water on her head by Tianxian's two words, and she was speechless for a while.
Tian Xian continued to pour cold water and said: "And even if you can reach the inner city, you may be killed by those powerful guys in a blink of an eye! Or you will be caught by the traps they set up vigilantly, even if you want to escape safely, it is a big problem for you to escape safely!"
"In general, if you want to do it again and get something, I'm afraid that a hundred lives will not be enough to pay! This time it's not that you took advantage of any loophole to enter the inner city, but that you are lucky enough to go against the sky, so you can survive!"
Gu Li didn't have a temper at all when she was told by Tianxian, and she had many ideas, but now she felt powerless......
"But...... There's always one more way, isn't it?" said Guli a little unwillingly.
Tian Xian thought carefully, "What you said is not bad, although this method is a bit outrageous, but now it is completely impossible to enter the inner city with a reliable method!"
Gu Li's eyes lit up, "Did you think of something!"
For the boy in front of him who can always make weird things, Gu Li's heart is instantly full of expectations.
Tianxian looked out the window, and the bright moon was radiating a magnificent light.
"O Shining Sun...... Looks like we're going to test our luck this time!" (To be continued......)
