He remembered that Li Zaoyi had said that there were two identical jade plates in the Pill Hall, and the other one was in the hands of the Zheng family. He did not know if they were exactly the same. It would be troublesome if two jade plates had to be activated at the same time.
"Alright, be careful!" Li Zaoyi nodded in agreement. Lin Yi held the jade plate and moved forward cautiously. His intuition and the space in the jade pendant did not give him any warning, so there was no need to worry about his safety.
After a few steps, Lin Yi came to the center and placed the jade plate in the groove. It fit seamlessly, as if the jade plate was meant to be there.
A faint light shone from the jade plate again, but there was no guiding light this time. The jade plate just slowly rotated in the light.
Lin Yi took two steps back and looked at the glowing jade plate cautiously, ready to activate the Lightning Escape at any time. If he felt danger, he would leave the platform with Li Zaoyi immediately.
As the jade plate spun, a green stone door slowly appeared on the opposite side of the stairs. It was more than thirty meters tall and about seven to eight meters wide. It was covered with ancient and profound veined patterns. Just by looking at it, one could feel the vicissitudes of time rushing toward them.
The ghostly thing could not help but sigh. The formation here was even more mysterious than Wang Ba's. Even if it did not completely exceed the scope of a Level Nine formation, it was definitely at the peak of Level Nine.
"Lin Yi, it seems that the real ruins are behind this stone door. Let's go in!" Li Zaoyi came to Lin Yi's side and whispered, her eyes full of amazement.
"Wait!" Lin Yi's eyes flashed and he instantly moved to the side, blocking Li Zaoyi behind him. A half-squatting golden-haired ape suddenly appeared in front of the stone door. It was about 2.3 meters tall when standing up, but because the stone door behind it was too huge, the golden-haired ape did not seem very eye-catching.
"Spirit beast clan?" Li Zaoyi was slightly stunned. She could not sense the specific strength level of the golden-haired ape, but the faint sense of oppression told her that she was definitely no match for the golden-haired ape.
"It's not a spirit beast clan!" Lin Yi's expression was dignified. His Divine Sense completely enveloped the golden-haired ape. Although it looked like a spirit beast, he was sure that this golden-haired ape was not a real spirit beast.
Li Zaoyi looked at the golden-furred ape under the stone door in confusion. No matter how she looked at it, it should be a spirit beast. Why did Lin Yi say it wasn't? Could it be that this ape belonged to the Sea Beast Clan? Sea ape monkey?
Lin Yi didn't explain further. The reason why he could be so sure was that there was a ghost in the space of the jade pendant. If the ghost said it wasn't, then it definitely wasn't!
Moreover, Lin Yi himself also felt that something was wrong. Although the golden-haired ape's strength was tyrannical and had already reached the early stage of Earth Creation, it did not have a primordial spirit. Simply put, it was just a puppet!
Whether it was in terms of primordial spirit, spirit beast, or puppet, the ghost was a master. Lin Yi was influenced by what he saw and heard. Even without the ghost, his eyesight was enough.
The half-squatting golden-haired ape opened its eyes. There was a sharp murderous aura condensing in its pale golden pupils. If it wasn't for the lack of intelligence, Lin Yi wouldn't dare to confirm that it was a puppet.
"Roar! If you want to pass through this door, you must first defeat me! " The golden-haired ape opened its mouth and roared violently. However, its next words also revealed its identity, which was the guardian of this huge stone door.
"Lin Yi, it seems that this ruin is not so easy to enter. However, why doesn't this ape take the initiative to attack us? Does it have to wait for us to pass before it attacks? " Li Zaoyi was very puzzled. She knew too little about this alchemist's ruin. However, with Lin Yi by her side, she did not feel any pressure when facing the terrifying golden-haired ape.
"This golden-haired ape is just a puppet. I'm afraid it was used by the alchemist who left the ruin to guard the door. If we don't show any intention of entering the ruin, it won't attack." Lin Yi casually answered Li Zaoyi's question. However, he also had some doubts. If the alchemist who left the ruin didn't want people to enter, why did he leave behind a Jade Plate to guide people here?
"Then, should we go in? It looks like it's pretty powerful. " Li Zaoyi could not clearly see the true strength of the golden-haired ape, but from its aura, it should be much stronger than Lin Yi.
Although she was very confident in Lin Yi, she was still a little worried about going up and fighting it head-on.
"I'll go and test this guy's strength first. You stand on the stone steps. That should be a safe area. It won't attack you." Lin Yi guessed that this platform was the golden-haired ape's attack range, so he let Li Zaoyi stand on the steps.
Li Zaoyi softly nodded. She knew that her strength was not enough to help Lin Yi. She could only try not to become a burden to Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi, don't force yourself. If the golden-haired ape is too powerful, we won't enter the ruin." Li Zaoyi turned to leave, but in the end, she could not help but remind him. It did not matter what treasures there were in the ruin. What was important was that Lin Yi did not get hurt!
"I know. Be careful yourself. Don't get hit by the aftermath of the battle." Lin Yi smiled slightly and waved at Li Zaoyi.
When she stood on the stone steps, Lin Yi immediately used the Butterfly Microsteps and rushed to the stone door in the blink of an eye.
"Get lost!" The golden-haired ape roared. Somehow, a jet-black stone stick had appeared in its hand. It swung it horizontally, and the raging Zhen Qi at the end of the stick directly tore the air in front of it, making a loud sonic boom.
Lin Yi was shocked. Although the golden-haired ape's move was simple, the power of the stick was extremely heavy. If he was scratched by it, breaking his bones and tendons would be a light punishment. It was very likely that he would be killed directly.
"This puppet is really powerful! I can't be careless! " Lin Yi was secretly vigilant. His feet burst out with full strength, and he directly increased the Butterfly Microsteps to the extreme limit. Finally, he avoided the black stone stick at the critical moment.
The power of the black stone stick did not decrease. The other end of the stick hit Lin Yi's chest and abdomen faster and more violently. Before the stick touched, the fierce Zhen Qi had a feeling of tearing Lin Yi's skin.
Even the extreme limit of the Butterfly Microsteps could not avoid the attack of the stone stick. Lin Yi was shocked. He barely dodged to the side. He raised his hand and shot out a lightning arc, hitting the golden-haired ape's body.
If it was an ordinary spirit beast, it would at least be paralyzed for a while after being hit by Lin Yi's lightning arc. However, this golden-haired ape was a refined puppet. It was not afraid of the lightning arc attack at all. It did not even pause for a moment. The stone stick nimbly turned and smashed toward Lin Yi's head.
