"Then why didn't anyone light it up? Does the oil lamp light up automatically?"
Rachel saw that it wasn't a ghost and calmed down a little. She didn't mind Master Pi's rude tone and asked modestly.
"That's even simpler. The wick of the bronze oil lamp is mixed with a special kind of phosphorus. This is a closed space, and without oxygen, the oil lamp will automatically go out. But now that we've opened the door, oxygen gushes in, and phosphorus ignites when it meets oxygen. So the oil lamps here are lit one by one, and it looks scary."
Master Pi rarely had a chance to show off, so he explained patiently, which made everyone feel relieved.
Ding Ning frowned slightly. Although what Master Pi said was reasonable, he neglected one thing, and that was the lamp oil. What kind of lamp oil wouldn't completely evaporate after hundreds of years?
An idea that even he didn't dare to believe appeared in his mind. According to the ancient records, there was a method to make a Ten Thousand Year Lamp in ancient times. The lamp oil was made from the oil of the mermaids. It would not evaporate and was very flammable. A drop of it could burn for tens of years, and the flame it burned was green.
But the problem was, whether mermaids really existed was a problem, let alone using mermaids to refine oil. Although his totem was a mermaid totem, which was also a kind of mermaid, it was just a totem after all. No one dared to say that mermaids definitely existed.
The mermaid from before was alive, but he knew that it was the soul of Jiutian Xuan Nv, so he naturally couldn't take it seriously!
Ding Ning's vision was different from ordinary people. He focused on the lamp and couldn't help but tremble. Did mermaids really exist in this world?
The oil lamp was embedded in the wall, and it was in the shape of a bronze mermaid. The mermaid had one hand on her waist, and the other hand was holding up the lamp. There was a wick in the lamp, and the wick came out from one hand to the hand on the waist. The wick went straight from the hand on the waist to the oil tank, which was emitting a green flame.
"Oh, I see. Then let's go quickly. Although we know what's going on, this green flame is still quite scary."
As the saying goes, "Don't be surprised by strange things". Whether what Master Pi said was true or not, it still made Rachel feel a lot more at ease. She leaned on King Kong's arms and patted her chest.
"Let's go. There should be enough oxygen in the tunnel. Let's see what's in front of us!"
Master Pi was also panicking in his heart. He didn't want to stay in such an environment for long, so he took the responsibility and strode forward.
Ding Ning did not leave with them. Instead, he stood there blankly, looking at the lifelike bronze mermaid lamp. His heart was filled with inexplicable sadness. Unconsciously, he had burst into tears.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt very sad in his heart. His tears kept flowing like a flood. It was not until a cold wind blew that he suddenly woke up. It turned out that the sadness of the mermaid totem had infected him and made him so out of control.
This made him very curious. Weren't mermaids a totem? How could he have his own emotions and even infect him?
The mermaid totem, which had always had no spirituality, was wriggling on his arm like boiling water, and for the first time, it conveyed a strong sense of pleading.
Ding Ning still had a lot of feelings for the mermaid totem. Although this mermaid was not the mermaid he knew, and the Mysterious Fairy of Nine Heavens had tricked him, he still felt a little sad when he thought of the days when he was with the mermaid.
So, Ding Ning began to collect the first oil lamp. As soon as his hand touched the bronze oil lamp, something strange happened.
At the moment when the oil lamp was picked up by him, a mermaid shadow appeared out of thin air and bowed to him. Then, it drilled into his arm and merged with the mermaid totem.
The mermaid totem merged into one.
The mermaid soul?
Ding Ning was strangely angry. Who on earth was so vicious and cruel that they not only refined the mermaid into ointment but also sealed her soul in the oil lamp to suffer endless years of torture? At this moment, he felt the sorrow of the mermaid totem.
As the oil lamps were picked up by him, the mermaid shadows and the totem merged into one, and Ding Ning's perception of the water property became deeper and deeper. At a certain moment, his whole body shook, and his perception of the water property reached eighty percent, and his Dantian expanded again.
He knew that this was the mermaid totem's response to his gratitude for helping the mermaid soul get rid of the imprisonment, but he was not happy at all. He was immersed in endless sorrow and anger.
One by one, there were a total of one hundred and eight bronze oil lamps, representing the lives of one hundred and eight mermaids. This number was almost a group of mermaids!
"Boom!" After Ding Ning picked up the 108th oil lamp and released the 108th mermaid soul, there was a sudden roar in his brain. His comprehension of the water property reached one hundred percent in an instant, and he was the second to reach the Full Completion after the wood property.
The mermaid totem squirmed violently and turned into a solid figure floating in the air, looking at him with gratitude in her beautiful eyes. Her appearance was exactly the same as the mermaid condensed by the divided soul of the Mysterious Fairy of Nine Heavens. Perhaps the Mysterious Fairy of Nine Heavens herself condensed the totem based on the mermaid totem.
"Thank you, you are the benefactor of our Mermaid Clan!"
The mermaid blew bubbles from her mouth, and her intelligent eyes were full of gratitude, which made Ding Ning feel a little ashamed. Why did this mermaid also have the hobby of shirtless? However, he was still very happy to see the mermaid come back. "Don't mention it. We are one. Your business is my business. This is what I should do."
"One? Good! "
The mermaid said something inexplicable, and her face was a little shy, which made Ding Ning confused. This new mermaid seemed to be more shy than the divided soul of the Mysterious Fairy of Nine Heavens!
"Ahem, can you tell me what's going on?"
Seeing that the mermaid was shy and did not speak for a long time, Ding Ning scratched his head and took the initiative to break the silence.
"I used to be the master of the sea, the king of the Mermaid Clan, and then …"
The mermaid looked like she was thinking hard. She blinked her big confused eyes and said bitterly, "Then something terrible seemed to happen, but I can't remember what happened."
Ding Ning was shocked. What the hell, the king of the Mermaid Clan, the master of the sea, did she have to be so awesome? However, this was the only way she could become the totem of the water element!
Looking at the mermaid's painful look, which she desperately tried to remember but could not remember, Ding Ning hurriedly comforted her, "If you can't remember, don't think about it. You will recover in the future."
"My memory has not fully recovered, but I know that my soul is sealed in these bronze oil lamps. I don't know who tore my soul into countless pieces, but I didn't expect it to be sealed here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to find my incomplete memory!"
The mermaid blew bubbles, which shrouded Ding Ning. "I feel very strange here, as if there is something that can threaten us. I feel that my power is flowing away very fast after coming out for a while, so I will go back first. Don't leave this bubble, maybe it can help you."
"Threat? Power flowing away? "
Ding Ning sensed for a while, but he did not feel that way. However, the mermaid had a strange origin, and her cultivation and perception could not be simply divided by realms. Naturally, he did not dare to be careless. He solemnly nodded and agreed. Only then did the mermaid shake her beautiful tail and return to his arm to turn into a tattoo.
"Hey!"
Ding Ning suddenly turned his head to look, frowned, and exclaimed in surprise. He did not know when the gate of the tactical formation had automatically closed, which meant that there would soon be a lack of oxygen here. Fortunately, he had a bubble that could continuously convert oxygen for him, so it was not a threat to him.
He immediately walked forward quickly. Even if he did not gain anything this time, he could not let the tiger return to the mountain and allow Zhu Gu to escape, leaving behind future troubles.
Unfortunately, plans could not keep up with changes. After he walked out of the passage, he found that there was a huge underground palace in front of him. Whether it was the King Kong, Master Pi, or even Rachel, they were all in the underground palace at the moment, desperately avoiding the pursuit of a group of cavalrymen riding skeleton horses. Only Zhu Gu had disappeared without a trace.
Ding Ning did not have time to think about Zhu Gu. Instead, he looked at the cavalrymen rushing towards him with a face full of horror, brandishing their swords.
He was not afraid of these cavalrymen, but was surprised that they could actually discover his existence. Invisibility actually failed here.
What made his hair stand on end was that these cavalrymen were not people. No, strictly speaking, they were not even ghosts.
They did not have bodies at all. From head to toe, they only had a set of armor and a rusty scimitar. Their bodies were full of the smell of decay.
"Ha!"
Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Ding Ning no longer hid his figure. He waved his hand and punched at the cavalrymen rushing over.
But as soon as he punched, his expression changed dramatically. His fist penetrated the cavalry's scimitar. It was actually an invisible object.
Just as he thought that since it was invisible, it should not be able to cause him any harm, a strong threat of death made him instinctively roll on the ground. The scimitar slashed across his forehead, and he suddenly felt a pain in his sea of consciousness.
F * ck, this armored monster was actually the same as the Soul Severing Saber. It directly injured the divine soul. No wonder the King Kong was chased to the point where there was no way out. His golden body was a physical defense, so it definitely could not withstand the damage to the divine soul!
"Huff, huff, huff!"
The King Kong King had a splitting headache. Caught off guard, his divine soul was injured by the armored monster's first strike. Fortunately, his cultivation was not enough, and he had not condensed the divine soul. Only his spiritual force was injured, but it was enough for him to suffer.
His strong physical body was useless in the face of this armored monster that specialized in hurting the divine soul. He had to carry Rachel, whose leg was injured, to escape, which made him even more miserable. Fortunately, this underground palace was very large, and there were not many armored monsters. Otherwise, his spiritual force would have been destroyed and he would have become a living dead.
On the contrary, Master Pi's situation was a little better. This guy was a warlock who played with insects. His cultivation was not high, but the strength of his spiritual force was not weak. Coupled with the King Kong King's reminder, he had not been slashed by the armored monster. He could barely resist and even fight back when he had the time.
It was a pity that most of the skills he learned were insect control skills, and there were no effective ways to kill his enemies. The reason he could barely hold on was because of his endless insects as scapegoats. But as time went on, he would die here sooner or later.
The three of them were extremely embarrassed. Seeing a human wearing Zorro's mask suddenly appear, although they were surprised and doubtful in their hearts and secretly suspected his identity, Ding Ning's appearance had attracted some armored monsters, which greatly reduced the pressure on them. They breathed a sigh of relief.
Soul Severing?
Ding Ning was not surprised but happy. It just so happened that he was not satisfied in the battle of divine senses with Darai. Now that the suppression of the Immortal Stone here was reduced a lot, he could barely release his divine senses. These armored monsters could be used to practice and help him practice controlling his divine senses to fight.
So, under the stunned gazes of the King Kong King and the other two, they saw the mysterious black-masked man not moving. The armored monsters that chased them were constantly waving their sabers and slashing at the air like lunatics. They were often forced to retreat by the non-existent attacks.
