191: The third island
The emergence of the top-grade spiritual Talisman caused Wu Gang, who had lost all his trump cards, to reveal a look of despair.
He had thought that doing so might lead to him being targeted by others, but he believed Shangguan Qianxue was the mantis stalking the cicada.
But he hadn't expected that Zhou Luo, who had been inconspicuous all the way and only had the Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivation, would reveal his fangs at this moment.
Seeing the terrifying power sweep out, he shouted in panic, "If we die, you won't be able to defeat Shangguan Qianxue either. We can help you!"
This was his last attempt at salvation.
However, the spiritual Talisman's power had already been unleashed, and Zhou Luo didn't care about Shangguan Qianxue being alone.
Boom—
The purple light fell, transforming into thousands of light blades that shot out and attacked.
Wu Gang and Liu Tie desperately resisted, but in the end, it was nothing more than a death throe.
A moment later, the bodies of the two fell onto the water surface, not sinking to the bottom of the lake.
Zhou Luo stepped forward, took all the storage bags from their bodies, and then walked towards the front.
On the other side, Shangguan Qianxue didn't expect the water curtain to appear again, and she had to swing her sword to resist the Formation's attack.
As for the tremor caused by the top-grade spiritual Talisman, although she sensed it, she didn't pay too much attention.
The most urgent task was to get to the island first.
Whoosh—
At this moment, the water curtain fell, and Zhou Luo quickly approached from behind.
Shangguan Qianxue's beautiful eyes flashed, and she deliberately maintained a certain distance from him.
Zhou Luo, however, said loudly, "Daoist friend Qianxue, I have figured out the Formation's movement trajectory. Follow me quickly."
After speaking, he passed Shangguan Qianxue and rushed forward.
In his hand, the Formation Plate emitted a rich spiritual light. Wherever it passed, the Formation's attacks all missed, and even the water curtain was forcibly split open.
Shangguan Qianxue had doubts in her heart, but she still quickly followed.
A quarter of an hour later, the two successfully landed on the island.
Behind them, the Formation gradually ceased, and everything returned to calm. Only the shimmering lake surface had four bodies floating on it.
Seeing this situation, Shangguan Qianxue's gaze towards Zhou Luo immediately became wary.
Indeed, this guy had been hiding his strength all along.
Zhou Luo looked mournful: "I didn't expect Daoist friend Wu and Daoist friend Wei to turn against each other at this time. Alas, what a pity."
Shangguan Qianxue remained silent.
She and those four were just acquaintances who met by chance. Their deaths were actually in her interest. As for how they died, she didn't care.
It was only because of this incident that she truly began to take Zhou Luo seriously.
Zhou Luo didn't pay attention to her thoughts. Once he chose to act, he had no intention of hiding anymore.
He came to the center of the island and found a wooden box among the scattered stones.
Opening the wooden box, inside was a jade garment woven from jade and gold threads.
Several Spirit Stones were inlaid on the jade garment, and runes were also engraved on it, emitting an extraordinary Aura.
There was also a gap at the corner of the garment, which significantly weakened its Aura.
This was also a damaged top-grade Magical Artifact.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhou Luo's eyes.
He still hadn't found the Dual Cultivation Technique.
"Since things have come to this, we'll each take one treasure and leave later."
Shangguan Qianxue approached, looked at the jade garment, and said indifferently.
However, Zhou Luo picked up the jade garment, stood up, and smiled, "Daoist friend Qianxue, how about we continue to cooperate and head to the third island?"
Shangguan Qianxue's expression darkened, and she said firmly, "No need."
She now only felt deep vigilance towards Zhou Luo, knowing that this guy appeared weak and harmless on the surface, but his thoughts were as deep as the sea.
Recalling the fate of Wu Gang and the others just now, she would not take the risk again and enter the next formation.
By then, she wouldn't even know how she was killed.
Zhou Luo shrugged helplessly: "Since Daoist friend Qianxue has said so, there's nothing I can do. However, I will definitely go to the third island."
"As for you, Daoist friend Qianxue, you can only leave on your own."
A trace of displeasure flashed across Shangguan Qianxue's face. She said in a deep voice, "Those two formations are still there!"
The formations were still there, which meant she had to break through them again. If she didn't have an Array Master accompanying her, she wasn't sure she could leave smoothly.
Zhou Luo said calmly: "Leaving from here, the power of the formations will be relatively weakened. With your strength, there should be no problem, right?"
After all, this was just a trial, so the formation setter didn't intend to kill everyone. As long as one obtained the treasure and left, although the formations would still obstruct, they were far less terrifying than when entering.
Shangguan Qianxue gave him a deep look, her eyes filled with apprehension.
With her strength, she could actually completely threaten him to take her away, or even take the other top-grade Magical Artifact for herself.
But the fact that the other party could remain calm at this moment meant he definitely had other means.
Shangguan Qianxue didn't want to gamble, so she simply sat down cross-legged and said coldly, "Don't come near me."
Zhou Luo had no time to bother with her. Instead, he turned his gaze to the surrounding plants that contained illusionary power and continued to transplant them.
To be honest, although he was somewhat tempted by the other top-grade Magical Artifact, attacking a Disciple of an Immortal Sect was still very risky.
Not to mention whether the other party had life-saving trump cards, once Azure Origin Sect detected his presence, he probably wouldn't be able to leave this Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range alive.
For a damaged top-grade Magical Artifact, he didn't need to gamble.
He had made up his mind to go to the third island alone later to see if the Dual Cultivation Technique would be there.
A day later, with the help of Pills and Spirit Stones, Shangguan Qianxue's condition reached its Peak again.
She didn't hesitate, got up, and returned the way she came.
After she left, Zhou Luo set up a simple formation and began to recover.
Another day passed before Zhou Luo had time to look at the storage bags he had looted.
It was a pity that Wei Qinghong's storage bag was nowhere to be found, so he only got the others'.
Adding the two who died early before, there were a total of five storage bags.
There were over a thousand Spirit Stones in the bags, as well as fifteen Spirit Stone (mid grade).
It had to be said, these guys were really rich.
Besides Spirit Stones and Pills, there were also several Magical Artifacts and Cultivation Methods.
It was just that they had encountered too many dangers along the way, so the Talismans and Pills on their bodies had been mostly consumed.
These were not very valuable.
What Zhou Luo was most interested in was Wu Gang's Jade Slip.
Unfolding the Jade Slip, it contained some information and a map of the Magic Forest.
It was by relying on this Jade Slip that Wu Gang had brought them here.
According to the map, the area they were currently in was actually considered the central part of the Magic Forest, but it was still some distance from the absolute center.
As the most central area of the entire Magic Forest, it was even more chaotic than here, and there were more Cultivators gathered.
Seeing the description above.
There seemed to be a Ruins there, which contained various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but it was also extremely dangerous.
Basically, every Cultivator who entered the Magic Forest would go there to see if they could make a fortune.
If the third island really didn't have the Dual Cultivation Technique, then it could only be in that Ruins.
If that were the case, Zhou Luo would give up the search.
Because the conflicts there were even more intense than here, and there were even Cultivators at the Qi Training stage, eighth level and ninth level appearing.
He was indeed very eager for the Dual Cultivation Technique, but putting himself in a dangerous situation for this Cultivation Methods would not be worth it.
To be honest, if it weren't for Liu Fuchen's sudden attack, and the assassins secretly sent by Zhenyuan Pavilion later, he might not have even fought against experts at the Qi Training stage, eighth level and ninth level.
It could be said that he was completely forced to face the enemy.
Now that he had gotten most of what he wanted, it was time to leave this dangerous mountain range.
The last island would be his final stop in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.
