After entering that layer of thick fog, he felt his body immediately become lighter.
Then, with a flash of white light, he found himself above a huge city. However, the huge city was completely silent. There was not a single person or sound.
Then, Linlong's body continued to descend. As he descended, he found that the fog suddenly became thicker. Previously, he could still see palaces and houses in the distance. Now, he basically couldn't see them anymore.
After a while, he landed on the ground.
According to the voice, there might be Gold Devouring Beetles and runes related to them above the bell tower. I only need to find the bell tower. Linlong thought to himself.
However, he couldn't see into the distance at all. There was clearly no bell tower in the surroundings. Thus, he could only search in front of him.
Eh? There seems to be a bell tower there. Soon, Linlong found a vague bell tower not far away.
Linlong hurriedly sprinted in that direction.
Once he got closer, he was even more relieved. This was because it was a bell tower that was seven or eight stories tall.
There were stairs leading up to the bell tower on all four sides. Linlong naturally wouldn't use the stairs to go up. Instead, he directly used his movement technique. After two leaps, he directly arrived at the top of the bell tower.
This place was not small. In the center of the platform was a table. On the table was an antique wooden box.
Linlong could see the two words "curse" written on it.
Could it be that the runes curse or the Gold Devouring Beetles were inside this wooden box?
Thinking of this, Linlong immediately walked toward the wooden box. He was very cautious because he felt that it would not be so easy to obtain this wooden box.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
As expected, as he approached the wooden box, such a sound rang out beside him. Then, four black shadows suddenly appeared from all four sides.
They were rune woodmen. Linlong could tell at a glance that these four black shadows were rune woodmen.
They had the strength of a third or fourth rank warrior.
Linlong didn't dare to be careless. He immediately took out his rune sword and attacked the four rune woodmen.
He used his Cold Moon Ice Technique and Graceful Swordsmanship.
With a slash of his sword, the four rune woodmen simultaneously smashed their fists toward him.
Bang!
Lin Long couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The four Runic Wooden Puppets also retreated. As they retreated, a cracking sound rang out from the body of the weakest Runic Wooden Puppet. Its arm had been directly chopped off by Lin Long's sword.
The power of the Cold Moon Ice Technique combined with the Graceful Swordsmanship was naturally astonishing. Even if it was the four Rune Wooden Men, the weaker ones would not be able to withstand it.
After succeeding in his first attack, Linlong immediately followed up with another slash.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
After a few slashes, the two weaker Rune Woodmen were destroyed. Now, there were only two Rune Woodmen left.
Without the other two Rune Woodmen holding him back, how could these two Rune Woodmen be a match for Linlong?
After a while, they were all killed by Lin Long.
Unfortunately, I can't release the Runic Wooden Man on me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, Linlong thought to himself.
After destroying the four Runic Wooden Puppets, Lin Long immediately walked towards the wooden box in the middle.
However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly dashed towards the wooden box at an extremely fast speed from behind him.
As the black shadow neared Lin Long, its speed increased. In the blink of an eye, it had actually arrived in front of the wooden box before Lin Long.
However, just as he was about to grab the wooden box, a sword aura suddenly attacked him from behind.
His expression changed drastically, and he could only give up on the wooden box and try to dodge.
However, he was still a step too late. Just as he moved his feet, the sword aura had already struck his body.
Bang!
With such a muffled sound, he was directly sent flying by the sword aura.
Lin Long hurriedly chased after him, but what made him frown was that the other party's speed was still very fast. In an instant, the other party had disappeared into the fog ahead.
Who exactly was it? How could they be so fast! Lin Long was astonished.
To be honest, if it wasn't for his powerful Divine Will, which allowed him to discover the other party in time, the wooden box would have been stolen by the other party.
Eh, in this secret realm, they could use offensive methods other than runic curses to deal with their enemies! At this moment, Lin Long suddenly came to a realization.
To be honest, when he dealt with the other party's sword just now, it was subconscious, and he did not consider this at all.
In that case, he would be able to move more smoothly in this city. Thinking of this, Lin Long could not help but smile.
Then, he turned around and held the wooden box in his hand.
After opening the wooden box, he immediately frowned because it was empty. There was only a note with a few words written on it: "This wooden box isn't here. Keep up the good work."
In other words, although all the bell towers had such wooden boxes, only a small number of them contained the Metal-devouring Beetles or the runic curses? Lin Long guessed in his heart.
At that moment, he could only leave this place.
Then, he continued to search for the bell towers. However, what made him depressed was that he could not find a single bell tower after searching for a long time. He did not know whether it was because the fog was too thick or something else.
'Can I use the bamboo rat to search?' With that thought in mind, Lin Long released the bamboo rat.
However, what made him depressed was that the bamboo rat had a blank look on its face. It could not sense the scent of the Metal-devouring Beetles at all.
Since the bamboo rat could not, Lin Long immediately took out the Metal-devouring Beetles, but they could not sense the scent of their own kind either.
'Hmm, can I use the scent of the wooden box?' Lin Long quickly remembered that the wooden box had a unique scent.
Fortunately, he had put away the wooden box at that time, or else he would have to go back again.
At that moment, he took out the wooden box and let the bamboo rat remember the scent of the wooden box. Then, he put away the wooden box and let the bamboo rat sense it.
To his delight, the bamboo rat quickly gave him a direction.
It seemed that that direction should be the direction of a bell tower. With that thought in mind, Lin Long immediately walked in that direction.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, he saw a bell tower in front of him.
At that moment, he clearly heard the sound of fighting on the bell tower.
'It seems that someone has already reached the top of the bell tower. I have to hurry up and see if I can get the wooden box.'
With that thought in mind, Lin Long immediately sped up and soon arrived at the bottom of the bell tower.
At that moment, the battle above was still very intense.
In order not to alert the enemy, Lin Long did not rush up directly. Instead, he went up the stairs on the side.
Soon enough, he arrived at the top floor. At that moment, he saw five people fighting fiercely with four wooden rune puppets.
The five people clearly had the upper hand. The four wooden rune puppets fighting fiercely with them were in a state of being destroyed at any time.
Lin Long did not rush over directly because he had a feeling that if he did, the four wooden rune puppets would definitely suddenly attack him.
Because of that, he did not make a move.
After a while, the four wooden rune puppets were defeated by the five people on the ground.
Once the four wooden rune puppets were defeated, the five people immediately rushed toward the wooden box. It was obvious that all five of them wanted to take the wooden box for themselves.
Among the five people, a short youth was the fastest.
He was the first to reach the wooden box. However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a sword energy attacked him from the side.
If he continued to reach for the wooden box, his hand would probably be chopped off.
Therefore, he did not dare to do so. He directly dodged to the side.
At the same time, the person behind him saw an opportunity and immediately rushed toward the wooden box.
However, he was also unable to obtain the wooden box because there was another Strength Qi attacking him from the side.
The scene was extremely chaotic. In the end, someone finally grabbed the wooden box.
However, before he could stabilize his grip, a burst of energy sent him flying.
His body was in mid-air, and he could not grab the wooden box in his hand. Therefore, the wooden box directly flew out.
Subsequently, the wooden box landed precisely next to the first person, which was the short youth.
The short youth was naturally overjoyed. He grabbed the wooden box and directly jumped down the stairs.
"Wang Hai, you rascal, leave the wooden box behind!"
For a moment, such angry roars immediately came from behind him. However, the short youth called Wang Hai did not care so much. After getting the wooden box in his hand, he desperately ran forward.
After running wildly for a while, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief when the voices behind him gradually died down.
"Damn it, for this wooden box, I almost lost my life!" Wang Hai muttered.
Then, he found a hidden place to settle down. Although he was still panting, he could not wait to open the wooden box.
After opening the wooden box, he saw a thin booklet inside. The words "Rune Seal" were written on the booklet.
"Could it be a rune seal related to the Gold Devouring Beetles?" Wang Hai was delighted.
He immediately reached out to grab the booklet inside.
However, just as he was about to grab the booklet, a gust of wind suddenly blew beside him. Then, the wooden box in his hand was taken away.
Looking up, he saw a youth standing in front of him.
"You are … Lin Li!" After a slight pause, he immediately remembered who the person in front of him was.
"That's right, I am Lin Li." The other party said.
This person was Lin Li. Previously, when he found that the wooden box was taken away by Wang Hai, he followed him. With his strength, it was not difficult for him to follow behind Wang Hai.
Then, when Wang Hai was about to take out the booklet in the wooden box, Lin Li made his move.
With his strength, it was naturally easy for him to take away the wooden box in Wang Hai's hand when Wang Hai was not paying attention.
"Lin Li, return the wooden box to me!" Wang Hai said angrily.
Lin Long could not help but smile. "I snatched it with my own strength. How could I return it to you?"
"Brat, looks like you're courting death!" Wang Hai was furious.
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly formed a seal with his hands and attacked Lin Long.
Although Wang Hai was younger than the others, he was still a senior, so he did not care about Lin Long at all.
He used the Heavenly Blade Curse Seal. In an instant, runes that looked like blade Qi immediately attacked Lin Long.
Lin Long casually used the Sky Blade Seal to meet it.
When the seal hit, Lin Long's Sky Blade Seal directly broke through the other party's Sky Blade Seal and attacked him with the remaining force.
"So powerful!"
After exclaiming, Wang Hai directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Long did not kill him, because at this time, there were clearly a few people rushing over from both sides. It was obvious that they were the people from before.
"Senior Brother Wang Hai, I'll leave first." With that, Lin Long directly turned around and left.
When he left, an empty box fell from the void to the ground.
Looking at the empty box, Wang Hai's face twitched because the other party had obviously taken away the booklet inside.
It was also at this time that the other people caught up.
"There!"
As soon as they saw Wang Hai sitting on the ground, they immediately became overjoyed.
When they came over, they found that something was wrong because there was only an empty box on the ground, and Wang Hai was injured.
One of them immediately frowned, and asked, "Wang Hai, what's going on? Where's the thing in the wooden box?"
"It was snatched away," Wang Hai said gloomily.
"Snatched away? Who snatched it? "Another person hurriedly asked.
"Lin Li snatched it away," Wang Hai replied.
"Who is Lin Li?" Someone was puzzled.
Although Lin Long had been in the limelight recently, he was still a new disciple. Therefore, the old disciples rarely talked about him, and they would never think that he would dare to snatch something from an old disciple.
"Lin Li is the disciple under Elder Xie Zhe," someone said immediately after thinking about it.
Hearing that it was Lin Long, someone immediately asked, "Lin Li is just a new disciple, how can he snatch something from your hands?"
"New disciple? You guys underestimate him. He's really powerful. He definitely has the strength of a level four warrior, "Wang Hai said gloomily.
"He also has the strength of a level four warrior?" Someone sneered, and then his face darkened, "I think it's you, Wang Hai, who used the trick … Tell me, where did you hide the thing inside?"
"Wang Hai, I also suspect that you've hidden the item, so take it out," the others said in unison.
"I really didn't take it." Wang Hai smiled bitterly.
"You didn't take it? Take out your Space Stone and let us see! "Someone sneered.
"No, how can I let you see my Space Stone?" Wang Hai frowned.
"You won't give it? Do you want to have a taste of your fist? "The people next to him immediately clenched their fists.
Helpless, Wang Hai could only take out his Space Stone.
At this moment, someone finally asked, "Wang Hai, what exactly is inside the wooden box?"
"It's a Rune Incantation," Wang Hai said.
Rune Incantation? Hearing Wang Hai's words, a few people immediately checked Wang Hai's Space Stone.
After a while, the four of them frowned because there was nothing related to the Gold Devouring Beetles inside.
"I already said I didn't take it, it was Lin Li who took it," Wang Hai said again.
"Could it be that you conspired with someone and framed Lin Li?" someone asked again.
This made Wang Hai not know whether to laugh or cry.
Wang Hai gnashed his teeth, and said, "Anyway, it's that Lin Li. Even if you kill me, I will say it's him."
The others immediately said, "Since that's the case, let's track down that Lin Li first."
How could they know where Lin Long was, so they could only search the other bell towers.
At this moment, not far from them, Lin Long had already picked up the booklet and was reading it.
