The weapon is an axe, Guanghan Palace?
Liu Da Erduo had just finished speaking.
Lin Xuan suddenly sensed that more than a dozen of his Skeleton Soldierss had disappeared.
"There's danger," Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, warning everyone.
Zhang Fan and Chen Wanqiu instantly became alert, switching to combat forms.
At this moment, Lin Xuan finally knew Liu Da Erduo's profession.
That's right.
Lin Xuan had known Liu Da Erduo for so long, but this was the first time he knew his profession.
This guy was truly not someone to be trifled with.
He took out a Luoyang shovel as a weapon.
Sure enough.
In the "I have a friend" series, the friends are always himself.
Now was not the time to overthink.
In just two or three breaths, Lin Xuan found that another dozen of his Skeleton Soldierss were gone.
However, there was no sound of fighting around.
Because the black fog was very thick.
The visible distance was only twenty to thirty meters.
Lin Xuan had just spread out his Skeleton Soldierss to form a very large guard circle.
At this moment, more than a dozen Skeleton Soldierss had died silently.
Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to summon more.
Instead, he quickly shrank the Skeleton Soldiers's guard circle.
He wanted to see what kind of existence had annihilated these Skeleton Soldierss.
As the Skeleton Soldierss shrank to within visible range.
Lin Xuan and the others then realized the seriousness of the situation.
The black fog actually blocked the transmission of sound!
This was completely inconsistent with the information about Divine Grace Cemetery before they entered!
In other words.
Some kind of anomaly had occurred between the ruins they were pulled into and Divine Grace Cemetery!
Bang bang bang—!
A series of sonic booms sounded, like bowling pins being knocked down, and large numbers of Skeleton Soldierss instantly fell.
Lin Xuan and the others now clearly saw what was attacking the Skeleton Soldierss.
It was an axe!
The axe's speed was incredibly fast, and there were no magic fluctuations on it.
Pure strength alone instantly killed many Skeleton Soldierss, then returned to the black fog.
"If I'm not mistaken, the one using this axe should be a demon from the ruins, not from Divine Grace Cemetery."
Chen Wanqiu analyzed from the side, "Since it's from the ruins, it must be related to our Xia Kingdom's history, culture, and myths."
"Let's all say who we think uses an axe, and quickly analyze what kind of ruins this is."
I have to say, girls are sometimes more meticulous.
Lin Xuan had just thought of using Corpse Explosion to lure the attacker out.
Analyzing the axe was a good idea.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The axe flew again, shattering another group of Skeleton Soldierss.
Lin Xuan calmly summoned over two hundred more Skeleton Soldierss, and the group began to analyze characters known for using axes as weapons.
Liu Da Erduo was the first to say, "The most famous axe-wielders in myths are probably Chenxiang and in history, Cheng Yaojin."
"There's also Xu Huang from the Three Kingdoms, and Li Kui and Suo Chao from Water Margin," Zhang Fan added.
"Pangu and Xingtian also used axes," Chen Wanqiu offered her guess.
Lin Xuan shook his head after hearing this, "It shouldn't be them."
"Their axes are all large broadaxes; this one just now was smaller."
"A small axe as a weapon..."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
This was truly difficult to figure out.
"Then is it possible it's not a weapon, but a tool?" Chen Wanqiu suddenly said.
At these words, Lin Xuan instantly turned to look at Chen Wanqiu.
This girl was truly extraordinary.
As a direct descendant of a prominent family, she definitely had both talent and strength.
After all, Chen Wanqiu's guess might be very accurate.
"If it's a tool, then it's very likely Wu Gang!"
"In that case, these ruins might be..."
"Guanghan Palace!"
The group exchanged glances, all agreeing with this speculation.
They recalled the scene when Divine Grace Cemetery underwent an anomaly earlier.
A giant full moon, a massive palace.
"It really might be Guanghan Palace."
Liu Da Erduo said excitedly, "I was inside Divine Grace Cemetery at the time, and I do remember seeing a huge tree."
"I didn't think much of it then, but now it seems that was the Moon Laurel Tree!"
With their guess confirmed, everyone's heartbeats quickened slightly.
After all, if their guess was true, they might be facing figures from myths!
It was just, encountering such figures.
Could the four of them defeat them?
"What do you say, do we fight, or avoid them?"
Zhang Fan asked from the side, looking at Lin Xuan.
At this moment, everyone unconsciously regarded Lin Xuan as their leader.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment, "Let's retreat for now."
"The axe didn't have any skills attached, nor did it attack us personally. It's probably just a warning."
"And we don't know what level of demon it is, or its strength."
"It's best not to disturb it."
After Lin Xuan spoke, Zhang Fan nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. Our biggest goal right now is to leave here and return to the military, so it's better to keep a low profile."
After speaking, he and Lin Xuan both looked at Liu Da Erduo.
Liu Da Erduo felt a little unnerved by their gazes and subconsciously tightened his grip on the Eight Trigrams Plate, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not a woman."
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, "Who's looking at you? We're looking at your Eight Trigrams Plate."
"Since the Eight Trigrams Plate can find treasures, then the greatest treasure in these Guanghan Palace Ruins must be inside the Guanghan Palace itself."
"If we find the palace, perhaps while finding the treasure, we can also find a way to leave the ruins."
Liu Da Erduo's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, "That's right, why didn't I think of that!"
Saying that, he took out the Eight Trigrams Plate and began to fiddle with it, muttering, "Qian Sanlian, Kun Liuduan, Zhen Yangyu, Gen Fuwan..."
Lin Xuan and the others watched Liu Da Erduo's mysterious actions without disturbing him, waiting patiently.
As these incantations were recited, the Eight Trigrams Plate, which had been spinning non-stop due to Wu Gang's influence, stopped.
After a while, Liu Da Erduo suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them, "Found it, it's this way!"
Everyone's spirits lifted at the news.
The needle of the Eight Trigrams Plate trembled and pointed to their right rear.
Everyone quickly followed Liu Da Erduo in the direction he indicated.
As they left.
Lin Xuan noticed that the axe no longer flew over to kill Skeleton Soldierss.
It seemed that it was indeed a warning earlier.
"Could that place be close to the Moon Laurel Tree?"
Lin Xuan speculated in his heart, directing a few Skeleton Cavalry to scout ahead.
Soon, he discovered the situation.
From the switched perspective.
He saw the scattered corpses of the Song Family Chamber of Commerce's black-robed subordinates.
After telling the other three this news, Lin Xuan stated his guess.
"From this direction, they shouldn't have died at Wu Gang's hands."
"There are probably powerful demons in this black fog as well."
"Let's go take a look," Zhang Fan suggested, and the group then approached the bodies.
However, upon seeing the state of these bodies, Zhang Fan's pupils constricted, and he said in a deep voice.
"It's not a demon, it's an enemy from that place."
"Enemy from that place? Where?" Liu Da Erduo asked curiously.
Zhang Fan remained silent.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and suggested, "Let's tell him."
"If we can leave from Guanghan Palace, he'll learn about the underground palace when he meets the chief."
"Alright." Zhang Fan also understood this, and simply explained to Liu Da Erduo.
Liu Da Erduo also seemed not simple; he wasn't overly shocked after hearing it.
"I just knew the country was hiding something from us."
"Actually, I had guessed some information earlier, and I didn't expect to be right."
"But how did you tell that these people died at the hands of an enemy civilization?"
After Liu Da Erduo asked, Lin Xuan and Chen Wanqiu also looked at Zhang Fan curiously.
The two of them did know some information about the underground palace.
But they had only just learned it recently.
Their understanding of the civilization on the other side of the underground palace was still too limited.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan squatted down and began to explain, rummaging through the seven or eight corpses on the ground.
"The civilization on the other side of the underground palace, we call them the Demonic Luo Civilization, and their race is the Demon Race."
"The Demon Race generally resembles our human race in appearance, but they naturally have demonic patterns on their faces."
"Demonic patterns cannot be concealed or removed; this is the most obvious characteristic distinguishing the Demon Race from humans."
"Of course, there are actually a few other distinguishing methods, including their attack methods."
As Zhang Fan spoke, he pointed to a wound on one of the corpses.
"When our awakened individuals fight, due to the digitized health bars, it's difficult to leave wounds."
"However, the Demon Race and humans have a mutual restraint relationship."
"When people from the two civilizations fight, the digitized health bars become ineffective."
"In other words, every slash, as long as it's sharp enough to break through defenses, will leave a wound..."
After Zhang Fan finished speaking, Lin Xuan and the others also had an epiphany.
No wonder the condition of these bodies was so gruesome.
Lin Xuan had initially thought that a powerful demon had killed the individuals and then gnawed on their corpses.
Having confirmed the presence of the Demon Race.
Everyone heightened their vigilance a few more points and continued forward.
Before leaving, Lin Xuan collected these bodies into his corpse space.
Of course, he didn't have any strange habits.
Instead, he thought of his skill, Undead Rebirth.
He had always used the skill to revive demons.
Now, in his corpse space, there were the bodies of the Song Family Chamber of Commerce members he had just collected, as well as the body of the strong man killed by the puppet earlier.
If he used Undead Rebirth on them.
Could he obtain some crucial information?
Lin Xuan thought about it, just about to act, when he noticed a small mountain-like giant shadow appearing in front of them.
And the Eight Trigrams Plate in Liu Da Erduo's hand was radiating golden light.
"Almost there!"
Lin Xuan heard Liu Da Erduo's words and temporarily put aside the idea of using his skill.
The group walked forward for about three to five more minutes.
The outline of a palace appeared faintly in the thick fog, and everyone rejoiced, quickly quickening their pace.
As they got closer.
The four also clearly saw the plaque in front of the grand hall, with three large characters written on it.
—Guanghan Palace!
