"Senior Brother Qu, I'm coming …"
Following Gu Yulong's roar, a blue giant more than ten meters tall was summoned dozens of meters away to Xia Pingan's left. The giant was majestic, wearing an armor made of solid ice and holding an ice shield in its hand. As soon as it appeared, it took a defensive posture.
Behind the giant was Gu Yulong, who had just stepped out of the portal.
The moment Gu Yulong's feet touched the ground, he shouted with all his might. At the same time, he summoned the giant and covered his entire body with a water shield. Closely after that, he summoned four fighters and dashed in four different directions. Like a rubber ball, he squatted down and hugged his feet. Then, he curled his body into a ball. Under the protection of the water shield, he quickly dodged to one side while sticking close to the ground. His movements were smooth, neat, and elegant …
If there were still those giant snakes here, Gu Yulong's entrance movements would get full marks for defense, reaction, and craftiness.
However, just as everyone was looking at each other in dismay, Gu Yulong, who had just entered the hall, had not seen the situation in the hall clearly. The effect was …
The most amazing thing was that this guy was shouting "I'm coming", but as soon as he appeared, he huddled together and slipped away from the side. The four soldiers he summoned were like four baits, running in four directions without seeing the enemy. It did not seem like they were fighting, but more like they were receiving his orders to attract the enemy.
It was quiet in the main hall. Everyone turned to look at Gu Yulong. Even Qu Yitong's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. His face was slightly distorted as he wished he could dig a hole and stuff that embarrassing guy into it.
With a whoosh, Gu Yulong dodged dozens of meters away while sticking close to the ground.
In this huge hall, apart from the skeletons of the giant snakes, a group of summoners who had entered the hall stood in various places and turned to look at him. Their gazes were enough to make ordinary summoners feel ashamed.
Of course, Gu Yulong was not an ordinary Summoner. The thickness of his skin was beyond imagination. When he realized that the situation here was not right, he immediately put away the water shield, straightened his back and stood up. He even pretended to look around in surprise. "Ah, where are those giant snakes? Why are there only bones left? The giants I summoned were not even used …"
The giant summoned by Gu Yulong might be a bit stupid, or perhaps the order he gave to the giant was to protect him. As soon as Gu Yulong finished his words, the giant took large strides and ran in front of him. It squatted down in front of him and erected a huge ice shield in front of him like a wall, showing a vigilant posture. That look was terrifying, and Xia Pingan almost couldn't help laughing again.
On the other hand, the four Combat Soldiers that Gu Yulong had summoned were jumping all over the place and slamming their swords against their shields. They were the only source of noise in the entire hall at this moment. However, under the atmosphere before them, it was too abrupt, as if they were performing in an opera.
Qu Yitong could not help but put his hand on his forehead as he said, "Ahem, Junior Brother Gu, put away your summoned creatures first …"
At this moment, Gu Yulong finally saw the words on one of the walls of the hall. His eyelids twitched as he looked dumbfounded. Then, he hurriedly waved his hand and put the giant who was squatting down in front of him to protect him and the few Combat Soldiers that were making noise back into the secret altar. After that, he hurriedly ran to the small circle of people from the Myriad Gods Sect without feeling embarrassed at all.
"The situation in front of us is unexpected. Elder Li did not tell us what to do if such a situation occurs. This place is very big. Let's take a look around here and see if there are any other portals or discoveries …" Qu Yitong said to the others.
"Senior Brother Qu, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the task in the Fallen Gods Land …" Hong Endao shook his head.
"No one could have predicted such a situation. It's not our responsibility. We just need to report the truth. Who would have thought that there would be other experts here …" Qi Yu said softly as she shook her head.
"Will the Realm Pearl that Elder Li promised us not go back on his word?" Gu Yulong licked his lips as his eyes rolled around. He said nervously, "Although we didn't gain anything here, we risked our lives to pass the previous tests. Am I right, Senior Brother Qu …"
"Don't worry, Elder Li and the sect will make arrangements!" Qu Yitong could only say so.
Not far away, Meng Ziqi, the two female disciples of the Black Dragon Sect and a few people of Supreme Wu Chen's side had already rushed towards the snake bones in the hall to see if they could find anything.
The people of the Wan Shen Sect naturally did not want to fall behind. Seeing that the others were searching in the hall, they also started searching in the hall. If there were other good things in the hall that were found by others, or if there were other portals that were discovered by others, it would be their responsibility. Therefore, they did not dare to be careless.
Among all of them, only Xia Pingan was the most relaxed and indifferent. He did not think that this trip to the Fallen Gods Land was a failure, at least not for him. In the previous two tests, he drank tea with Zhang Dai and learned the Skill of Formation and Mechanism from Zhuge Kongming. His divine power increased sharply, he obtained the secret book and mastered the powerful Skill of Formation and Mechanism. His gains had far exceeded his expectations. Therefore, he was the most relaxed.
Seeing that everyone else was searching for something in the main hall, Xia Pingan also strolled around the main hall.
This palace was too large. With a huge dome as high as 100 m, the palace covered more than 10 square miles. The floor of the palace was made of shiny black crystals. From afar, it looked like a black tranquil lake which reflected the fiery light around the palace. The fiery light came from the burning lamps on the silver lampstands on the walls and huge pillars.
At first glance, there were no other portals in the hall.
A group of people rushed into the skeletons of the giant snakes and carefully searched for something. Some people were touching the walls and knocking on the floor, as if they were trying to find a secret door.
The skeletons and corpses of some exotic beasts were actually treasures with many magical uses. Some realm pearls and treasures might be in the bones of those exotic beasts. For example, the centipede pearls on the giant centipedes were in the bones of the centipedes. The giant snakes were fifty to sixty meters long and had wings. They were clearly exotic beasts. Perhaps there were some treasures in them.
Just as Xia Pingan was strolling in the hall and looking around, he heard a cry of surprise. Xia Pingan turned his head and saw that Hua Xin and her Junior Sister Qin had each put a giant snake skeleton into their own spatial equipment without saying a word.
What a tycoon! How big was this spatial equipment?
Xia Pingan was also startled. The spatial equipment of an ordinary summoner definitely couldn't hold such a large giant snake skeleton. Of course, his spatial warehouse could actually hold it, but he didn't know what those giant snake skeletons were used for. Secondly, he didn't want to expose his secret mandala, so he didn't use them.
Seeing the two female disciples of the Black Dragon Gate start to put the bones of the giant snakes into their own spatial equipment, the others didn't know what to think, but they all followed suit. Even if their spatial equipment wasn't that big, they still cut off the heads of the giant snakes and put them into their spatial equipment.
After the two female disciples of the Black Dragon Sect put away the two giant snake skeletons, they leaped to the side and put away two more.
The others also quickly put away the giant snake skeletons. Everyone knew that anything that could catch the eyes of the disciples of the Black Dragon Sect was definitely useful. Even if they didn't know how to use it, they could take it out first. At least they could report back.
… …
The Child of Fortune had been sitting on Xia Pingan's shoulder. Just as Xia Pingan was strolling around, the Child of Fortune suddenly stood up. His nose twitched and his eyes swept around. His figure flashed and he suddenly left Xia Pingan's shoulder and appeared next to a giant pillar more than two meters away. He was hanging on the giant pillar's lampstand and was circling around an oil lamp on the lampstand. He looked a little excited and kept waving at Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan was also stunned. Could it be that the boy of fortune had discovered something?
With this thought in mind, Xia Pingan strolled all the way and quietly walked over to the giant pillar. He raised his head and looked at the lamp that made the Child of Fortune act strangely.
There was actually nothing unusual about the lamp. It was placed on a tree-shaped lampstand. There were seven lamps on the lampstand, and that lamp was exactly the same as the other lamps. It looked like a simple and unadorned ten-thousand-year-old bronze lamp. The lamp was in the shape of a red-crowned crane. The red-crowned crane spread its wings and stood upright on one leg. There was a flame on the crane's head. The seven lamps were matched with a lampstand, and it looked like seven red-crowned cranes standing on a tree. It was very lifelike. This kind of lamp could be found everywhere in the hall.
To ordinary people, this lamp could be considered a treasure, but to a Six Sun Realm summoner, it was equivalent to an ordinary handicraft in the eyes of a rich person. There was nothing strange about it.
Xia Pingan calmly took down the lamp and held it in his hand. He carefully played with it and even injected a bit of God Power to test it. The lamp did not react at all.
Xia Pingan touched his chin. His heart moved slightly. He suddenly thought of a problem. The creature in this hall was a giant snake. Why was the lamp in this hall in the shape of a crane? One had to know that cranes were the nemesis of snakes. Could there be some meaning behind it?
After thinking for a while, he still could not figure it out. He turned the lamp over and over again, but there was nothing strange about it. Just as Xia Pingan wanted to put the lamp back on the lampstand, he found that there seemed to be a bit of dust on the crane's head. He gently blew, wanting to blow away the dust on the lamp.
With a breath, the flame on the crane-shaped lamp instantly turned scarlet-gold. An invisible ripple spread out from the wick of the lamp and instantly spread throughout the hall. Wherever the ripple spread, the entire hall was bathed in golden light. There were specks of golden light everywhere, like fireflies floating in the void. The black floor of the hall reflected the specks of golden light. The entire hall was colorful and glazed, as if it was a different world.
