Chapter 688: The Bronze Gate

"AHHH!"

The bloody skeleton screamed in agony as all the bones in its body were torn apart.

The Void Thorns waved their tentacles, crazily fighting for its bones, but unexpectedly, its bones turned into flowing light and disappeared into the void.

All the tentacles froze and retreated.

Who knew that the red light would descend from the sky, in a flash, it turned back into the bloody skeleton.

"Damn it! To hell with the Void Thorns! "

The bloody skeleton roared, picked up the giant hoe on the ground, and crazily dug without stopping.

No matter what.

It was a heroic spirit of the Blood Sea, it wasn’t afraid in front of Andrea, and even dared to risk its life when facing a prisoner.

Even if it wasn’t that strong, when it came to digging,

Did such a thing require any special strength?

The bloody skeleton used every second to dig, to the point that its body turned into an afterimage.

In just a few breaths.

It dug a large hole in the ground.

Swoosh.

A long tentacle swung over, once again tearing the bloody skeleton apart.

"It’s meaningless! Other than making me feel pain all over, it’s completely meaningless! Damn it, don’t you understand! "

It angrily roared, all the bones in its body turned into light and disappeared.

This time, the tentacles weren’t as crazy as before.

Perhaps these Void Thorns had already noticed that this’ thing ’was indeed weak, but it wasn’t something that could be eaten either.

The dense tentacles waved in the air for a while, but after discovering that there was nothing to eat, they slowly returned to their tree forms, standing still on the ground.

A red light flashed.

The bloody skeleton appeared again and grabbed the giant hoe. It jumped into the hole and started digging crazily.

"I’ll dig! Dig! Dig! "

It screamed as it dug.

Clang.

There was a clear sound of collision.

The skeleton screamed: "I FOUND IT!"

A shadow flung over, whipping it and completely tearing it apart.

The skeleton disappeared again.

The tentacles froze in the air, as if a bit annoyed.

But there was nothing left, so they could only turn back into the forest and stand still.

Liu Ping thought for a bit, then walked out from behind the tree.

"Don’t show yourself, use the pixie’s technique, you must hide behind a certain ’existence or non-existence’" Andrea reminded him.

"It’s a bit strange ... this technique is actually different from the others." Liu Ping said.

"How is it different?" Andrea asked.

Liu Ping stood where he was and looked at another "big tree" not far away.

I’m going to use that "tree" to activate the fairy’s spell.

He muttered in his heart.

The void flashed.

Liu Ping felt that he had moved in the air and landed behind the "big tree" that he had chosen.

Lines of burning words quickly appeared in his mind:

[You’ve activated the Quipcraft skill, ’You can’t see me’.]

[The target you have chosen is the current Void Thorn.]

[You’ve hidden behind the Void Thorn and completed your current special skill]

All the small characters were retracted.

Liu Ping muttered, "I see." The most special thing about this spell was that it would immediately appear behind the selected object when it was activated, achieving the effect of "not being seen".

It could even be said that this was a forced process.

Furthermore, it was instantaneous.

Tsk.

What a freak!

Liu Ping could not help but sigh in his heart.

This effect was equivalent to double teleportation and invisibility.

He looked into the large pit.

Sure enough, a metal wall was dug out from the pit.

However, this was only a corner of the underground palace. If he wanted to find the entrance to the underground palace, he would have to continue digging.

Wait a minute.

He suddenly said: "Hey, point at the door, I’ll go down and save you"

The other side was silent for a while.

Liu Ping continued: "You don’t want to come out? If you really don’t want to move and just want to stay here forever, I’ll turn around and leave."

The female voice finally came: "You really want to save me?"

"I need help, if you’re willing to help, I’ll give you your freedom." Liu Ping said.

"Even if you find the entrance to the underground palace, you won’t be able to save me." the female voice said.

"Did you forget that I have that kind of power? Or rather, you don’t want to be free at all? "Liu Ping asked.

The female voice went silent for a few moments, then spoke again: "Be careful."

"Hm? What do you mean? "Liu Ping asked.

All of a sudden.

A loud crashing sound came from underground, like the sound of billions of tons of explosives exploding, causing everything on the ground to float up.

Following this loud noise, the pebbles, sand and dirt on the ground all flew up, disappearing without a trace.

Liu Ping quickly controlled his body to hover in the air.

He looked down at the panda on his waist.

The panda said happily: "This way of dying isn’t bad, simple and direct, no torture, I like this kind of death."

Very good, dying again.

But what was that sound just now?

The female voice laughed: "I hit the wall of the underground palace, now you can see the underground palace."

The ground had been completely shaken until it disappeared.

A huge bronze cube floated in the dark void.

This must be the underground palace.

One hit to shatter the ground, causing the underground palace to appear.

He was a world-class life form, but he couldn’t even withstand the aftermath, causing the panda to die in his place once.

What kind of power is this!

Liu Ping became even more interested, he looked down at the ground.

He saw that the bronze cube was about the size of a medium-sized mountain, its surface was engraved with countless mysterious runes.

Long, withered roots that looked like a forest of trees sprouted out from the gaps of the cube, forming a large forest outside.

This isn’t good to go down.

Liu Ping had a thought, his expression froze, and said in a low voice: "Is the entire underground palace filled with these things?"

The female voice sounded again: "You guessed right, now do you still want to know the direction of the door?"

Liu Ping shrugged: "There should be a place to rest inside, right?"

"This is my old palace, there are a few secret passages inside that can be used. Look at the bronze wall on the top left, the place with countless human heads is the door to the secret passage." the female voice said.

Liu Ping immediately saw the door that she was talking about.

Then, how can I go in?

Liu Ping thought for a bit, then shouted:

"Summon"

A red glow appeared again.

The bloody skeleton sighed: "What do you want to do this time?"

"I still have 180 Gathering Points, and I want to go to that door, what do you think I should summon?" Liu Ping asked.

Seeing that he wasn’t going to die this time, the bloody skeleton became spirited and thought: "The surface of the bronze underground palace is filled with Void Thorns, and you only have 180 Gathering Points, of course you should use them all."

"What can I summon?" Liu Ping asked.

The bloody skeleton replied: "180 Gathering Points can summon a few decent fighters, but if you ask me, your goal is to summon someone that can attract the attention of those Void Thorns, so that you can escape from here and enter the underground palace, isn’t that right?"

"That’s right, you’re very smart." Liu Ping praised.

The bloody skeleton boasted: "I can’t guarantee anything else, but I’m familiar with the heroic spirits of the Blood Sea, I suggest you summon a ’Blood Spirit Primary Banner’."

"What’s that?" Liu Ping asked.

"It can instantly summon 100 heroic spirits of my level to fight for you." the bloody skeleton replied.

100 bloody skeletons.

If that’s the case, it’ll be enough to attract the attention of those things, giving me enough time to study the door.

As if knowing what he was thinking, the bloody skeleton said: "Just chant ’Blood Spirit Primary Banner’ to summon it."

Liu Ping did as he was told.

"Blood Spirit Primary Banner." he chanted.

In the void of space, a line of burning text quickly appeared:

[You’ve spent 180 Gathering Points to summon Blood Spirit Primary Banner]

Bam

A blood-red flag appeared in the void of space.

A flash of understanding appeared in Liu Ping’s mind, and he immediately knew how to use it.

"Get ready, it’s about to begin."

He held the flag, aimed at the right direction, and threw it at the surface of the bronze cube with all his might.

The blood-red flag turned into a blurred image, quickly swept through the void of space, and hit the surface of the bronze cube with a ’clang’.

"Summon!" Liu Ping shouted.

Boom!

100 bloody skeletons appeared at once, spreading out in all directions and swinging at the Void Thorns with all their might.

This immediately attracted the attention of all the Void Thorns.

Take this chance.

Liu Ping’s figure flashed and landed on the door.

He used his fingers like a blade and swung downwards with all his might.

A loud sound of impact.

There were no marks on the bronze door.

The woman’s voice sounded again:

"Back then, I was too powerful. The Era Lords of several Eras feared me. That’s why I was trapped here."

"The door in front of you is called the Door of Eternal Imprisonment."

"How do I open it?" Liu Ping quickly asked.

In just a short while, half of the skeletons had already died.

I have to hurry!

The woman’s voice said slowly, "I don’t know how to open it either."

"But if you can get out, just tell me if you don’t want to be rescued, I’ll leave right away." Liu Ping said.

The woman’s voice said, "This door has a special characteristic, only those who enter can leave. Other than that, no one can open it, let alone destroy it!"

Liu Ping was silent.

Can’t open it?

You’re only telling me now that you can’t open it?

The woman’s voice seemed to be oblivious to his emotions, and her voice turned cold.

"If you want to rescue me but can’t even do this, then forget it, I have no confidence in the upcoming purgatory trip."

Liu Ping looked up and looked around.

Streaks of afterimages swept through the area, effortlessly slaughtering all the crimson skeletons.

It’s too late!

"Let’s go, Liu Ping, there’s no time to study this door!" Andrea said anxiously.

Liu Ping’s expression was calm as thoughts flashed through his mind.

He suddenly thought of something.

This door can’t be opened.

Then, how can I not open this door and enter?

Do I have such a skill?

... I think I do.

This kind of thing is what they’re good at.

Thorns of the void appeared one after another.

Liu Ping put his hand on the door and muttered: "You can’t see me."

Instantly.

He disappeared from the surface of the bronze door.

The thorns of the void scanned back and forth for a while, only retracting after confirming that there was no one there.

On the other side.

Inside the bronze door.

Liu Ping stood on a dark path.

The candles on both sides of the wall lit up one after another, giving off a faint glow that extended all the way to the end of the path.

"How did you get in!?" the woman’s voice asked in surprise.

Liu Ping didn’t say anything and only observed his surroundings.

"Then ... how did we get in?" Andrea also curiously asked.

That monster can ignore it, but Andrea can’t.

Liu Ping sent his voice: "I received a pixie’s Quipcraft, it’s called ’You can’t see me’"

"Isn’t that a concealment type supernatural ability?" Andrea asked.

"That’s right, but it also achieves a certain effect." Liu Ping answered.

"What effect?" Andrea curiously asked.

"Once you find any existence or non-existence, you can immediately activate this technique to hide yourself and your partner behind that existence or non-existence. You won’t be discovered by that existence or non-existence." Liu Ping explained.

"I still don’t understand." Andrea felt a bit confused.

"Look, we’re already hiding behind the door." Liu Ping said.

This door can’t be opened.

But this kind of unsolvable problem in front of the pixies ...

Like cheese meeting a mouse, ice meeting the sun, or a wallet meeting a thief.

At this point, Andrea also realized and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Pixies ..."
