"Chief, do you think this is the Endless Corridor?" asked Su Xiaoluo.
Fang Gu nodded. He glanced behind him and said, "Look, we're not too far away from the entrance."
Everyone turned around. It was just as Fang Gu had mentioned, they were very close to the entrance. It did not look like they had been walking for more than ten minutes in the Gallery.
"If the ancient teachings didn't lie to us, the key to solving the mystery of the Gallery of Souls is inside the drawings. If I'm not mistaken, it should be this drawing." Su Xiaoluo suddenly walked up to one of the drawings. Her eyes glittered as she stared at the drawing of an ancient woman.
She reached out her hand and touched the carvings on the drawing, and the woman too …
Gradually, Su Xiaoluo seemed to be attracted by something. Her eyes flickered with different emotions, as if her soul was being drawn into the drawing.
"Did she enter the illusion herself?" Mo Fan looked at Su Xiaoluo in astonishment.
Su Xiaoluo's expression kept changing. She would be furious at times, and burst into tears at other times. Even though the changes were quick, they were not fake.
"She's reading the illusions. This Gallery of Souls is most likely a combination of the Psychic Element and the Space Element. If we can't find the key from the illusions, we're going to be trapped here …" said Fang Gu.
Su Xiaoluo stood there blankly. Her emotions were changing rapidly. Some time later, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of the Endless Corridor. The end was less than a hundred meters away!
Meanwhile, Su Xiaoluo's eyes regained their usual luster. However, the reality of the illusions still felt like a dream to her.
"Are you alright?" asked Zhang Xiaohou.
Su Xiaoluo shook her head and said, "It seems like only the people from the villages are allowed to come here. It's easy for others to get lost and be trapped in this tomb palace. "
…
The group walked past the Gallery of Souls and arrived at a spacious front hall. The hall was built with white jade. The ground was so smooth that they could even see their own shadows …
The pillars stood tall, and each one required four to five people to encircle. Mofan could not understand the runes that were densely engraved on them.
There seemed to be nothing in this front palace. It was empty and deathly silent, with only the sound of everyone's footsteps echoing inside.
"Weng ~ ~ ~"
Everyone moved in the same direction, but suddenly, the Little Loach Pendant on Mo Fan's neck vibrated.
This surprised Mo Fan greatly. Ever since it had eaten the Geyser Spring, Little Loach had lost interest in anything filled with energy. Mo Fan had almost forgotten that Little Loach was a growth-type cultivation Magic Tool.
After a few years, Little Loach actually let out an excited cry. It was using its body to tell Mofan that it had taken a fancy to the delicacies!
Mofan followed the Little Loach Pendant's guidance and headed in the direction of the vibration. He discovered a stone platform at the center of the front hall, with a crystalline lotus on top of it. It was emitting a mesmerizing fragrance as he approached it.
"Take a look, do you have this in the paintings too?" Mofan quickly asked the others to come closer.
The front palace was completely sealed off, and there was no way forward. Now, in the entire front palace, aside from the slightly suspicious incantations on the pillars, only the demonic lotus on the stone platform was particularly eye-catching.
"I think so …" said Su Xiaoluo uncertainly.
Fang Gu's eyes never left the lotus. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to find our way forward. This lotus looks like the Everlasting Lotus. According to the ancient teachings, the bridge to the altar will only appear when the Everlasting Lotus dies. "
"Everlasting Lotus, is there really something like that in this world? If it dies, won't it die if I shatter it into pieces? "said Zhang Xiaohou.
"Give it a try," said Fang Gu.
Zhang Xiaohou was more direct. He used his hands to tear the pinkish-green demonic lotus apart. His movements were extremely swift. In just a few moves, he tore the strange looking demonic lotus into pieces. The lotus petals scattered all over the ground, creating a mess.
In order to make sure it was dead, Zhang Xiaohou stomped his foot on it a few times and said, "Look, isn't this …"
Who is it? "Before Zhang Xiaohou could finish his sentence, the broken petals of the demonic lotus floated up and returned to the stone platform. Not even a speck of dust was left behind.
They stuck together on their own. Even the dirt that Zhang Xiaohou stomped on was shaken off.
In just a few seconds, the lotus returned to its original appearance. Not a single crack could be seen on it. It looked exactly the same as before.
"This …" Zhang Xiaohou was startled. He decided to repeat the same trick.
This time, he was even more brutal. He simply destroyed the lotus without mercy. He almost put it into his mouth and chewed on it.
But as expected, the demonic lotus returned to its original state on its own.
"Back off … Wind Disc: Sky Snare!"
Zhang Xiaohou immediately cast a wind magic spell, and a strong wind wall directly turned the demonic lotus into powder.
However, when the wind dissipated, the powder returned to the stone platform and condensed back into the innocent pinkish green lotus. This scene left Zhang Xiaohou dumbfounded.
"What should we do now? We can't afford to waste any more time here, can we?" Su Xiaoluo was extremely anxious.
Millions of people were waiting for them. If they did not reach the Ancient King soon, everything would be over when the Dark Abyss started its next teleportation.
The things they encountered before did not pose any trouble to them, but they had to stumble into an Everlasting Lotus that could not be killed, burned, or eaten …
"It's useless, even if you blast it with a Super Spell, it will still grow back to its original appearance," said Fang Gu.
"It took us so much effort to come all the way here. Are we really going to end up like that?" Zhang Xiaohou was not willing to give up. He continued to tear and stomp on the lotus.
…
…
Inside the clock tower, an ancient table with a copper mirror the size of a palm was placed on it. A group of people were gathered around the table, staring at the image in the copper mirror.
"It's really them!" Han Ji looked exhausted, yet he could not hold back the excitement in his heart.
They initially thought they had lost track of Mo Fan and his crew after they jumped into the Dark Abyss. They had no choice but to wait. To their surprise, the chief of Hua Village, Xie Sang, had shown up and presented them with the copper mirror. The copper mirror happened to allow them to see a lotus. Meanwhile, Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, Su Xiaoluo, Fang Gu, and Liu Ru were standing around the lotus with a troubled look.
"What kind of plant is that? Why can't we destroy it?" asked Yao Nan anxiously.
"I'm afraid it's the Everlasting Lotus that has been extinct for more than a thousand years. Rumors say that even a Super Spell can't kill it. There were Forbidden Mages in ancient times who tried to destroy it … but it seemed like it took them a great effort." As expected of an experienced Magician, Han Ji had already identified the plant before Xie Sang could finish his sentence.
