If Lu Qing hadn't seen this with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe it.

In just over an hour, a stone man country emerged from the underground of the originally solid mine cave.

He wandered around the palace and counted nineteen stone guards.

All reached the second-order level.

These stone guards are not as strong as the Shimu whom I met before, and are generally only at the early stage of the second level.

But nineteen...there are also a lot of this number.

Of course, the most troublesome thing is the Stone Man King himself.

It was already in the late stage of the third level at the beginning of its birth. Now, in an environment where it has a great advantage, the power of the entire surrounding radiant stone ore vein can be activated by it, and its combat power has increased leaps and bounds.

If you really want to say combat power, it may have far exceeded the average late-stage level of the third level. At least you need to get the ninth level of Qiming to deal with it.

However, fortunately, the person level of this stone man has not yet broken through to the fourth level, which means that his strength has not been essentially improved, and there is still a qualitative gap with real Jindan monks or fourth-level creatures.

Looking out, the monks of the Lu family had arrived.

They were all stunned when they looked at the underground Gong Yu.

"This... is there such a thing always under Yuyan Mountain?" Li Yanling asked.

"No?" Lu Chaoxi was also a little confused. Before that, he didn't know that such a thing was happening. He had never discovered that there was such a thing underground, that is, in the mountains.

Li Yanling obviously didn't believe it: "This is not something that can be caused in one day. It has been around for a long time, have you never discovered it?"

"No..." Lu Mingchao replied to his sister-in-law next to him, "Maybe, he just woke up? Otherwise, how could my father notice that something might be wrong here in advance, let's prepare in advance?"

"It's possible." Li Yanling didn't plan to worry about this matter anymore.

When they got closer, they also saw the stone guards guarding around the palace.

Lu Qing couldn't help but send a message to Chaoxi: "If you see the stone guards, you should deal with them first. You should be quick, not delayed. They are one with the stone king inside."

These stone guards seem to be a group of individuals, but in essence they are a community with the Stone Man King. These stone guards are originally guards built by the Stone Man King who controls the power of the Huineng Stone and builds them outside. If they do not kill them, then these nineteen stone guards will continue to absorb the power of starlight in the outside world, and provide the Stone Man King with the power of starlight.

After receiving the message from his father, Lu Chaoxi thought for a moment and turned what Lu Qing said into his own guess.

Others had no objection to this speculation, and even Li Yanling could detect something that was that she was far less realistic than Lu Qing.

So the combat plan was decided.

...

In the underground space, fog suddenly appeared at the entrance of the palace that suddenly appeared.

Logically speaking, this is unusual, but those stone men seem to have no feeling at all.

This is the power from Li Yanling.

The cloud spirit root, also known as the fog spirit root, is a variant of the water spirit root. The spell she casts has a large range and has a certain paralysis effect.

This paralysis is magical and will not be felt at all. If it is applied to a person, such as the left hand, then the person's left hand will feel nothing and cannot be used, but he cannot find it until he is about to hold something with his left hand but finds that he cannot move.

And this ability can also be influenced by these stone guards.

Since we have already vaguely felt that these stone guards are one with the stone man king, it would be better to use this method.

After suffering from paralysis, the Stone Man Guard was killed. Even if the Stone Man King could find it, it would be difficult to sense it immediately.

After the fog started, the remaining Lu family monks also moved.

They are blessed by Li Yanling's power, so that they will not be affected by the paralysis fog.

Lu Chaohe, with the remaining foundation-building monks, rushed towards a team of stone men guarding each other. He used various magic weapons and magic to fight for rapid elimination; while Lu Chaoxi rushed in another direction with thunder.

The moment they took action, Lu Mingchao, who was just standing behind Li Yanling, also took action. She appeared quietly at the door of the palace, stood between the two stone guards, spreading her hands to both sides, and the Extremely Sharp Bing and Cuifeng Shiqing Swords each penetrated the head of a stone guard from left and right.

Li Yanling took action and destroyed a team of stone guards hidden behind the underground palace.

Before, they hadn't found a batch hidden here, but as the fog invaded and the perception extended forward, Li Yanling naturally discovered them.

The fog suddenly became thicker, forming several big hands that looked like substance. They pinched the heads of the team of stone men's guards, and pulled them down with force. : :

In the blink of an eye, four teams of stone guards, a total of nineteen, were all reimbursed.

The Jindan monk led the team and the two Qiming monks helped them. Of course, it would be impossible to destroy these guards, even if they needed to be silent.

After annihilated the enemy, Li Yanling walked forward, stood at the palace gate, and pushed open the door.

At first glance, she saw the end of the Stone Man King sitting on the throne.

The stone king's eyes were as bright as stars, staring at Li Yanling and slowly spoke: "When you see the Star God King, you must learn to kneel down."

After saying that, a heavy pressure instantly enveloped Li Yanling. This force seemed to want to press her to kneel on the ground.

The strength is very strong, but due to the nature of the force, it still stays at the third level, so Li Yanling's body cannot move at all.

But she was not in a hurry to do anything.

Her eyes looked around. It was really a palace. From the inside, there were all kinds of gorgeous interiors, including gorgeous utensils, fruits and vegetables, and luxurious decorations in style... everything was available, as if a grand banquet was about to be held here.

However, all of this is made of stones, and the fruits and vegetables, meats, and the stones are made of this.

So the whole scene will look a little weird.

Is there anything wrong with this Stone King...?

Such a strange thought arose in Li Yanling's mind.

And directly above, the Stone Man King who failed to directly suppress Li Yanling seemed very angry.

It stood up and its face became ferocious: "Bold man! I'm not to cherish death!"

Beside it, the starlight condensed, and a ray of light shone quickly towards Li Yanling.

Li Yanling raised her hand and was instantly shined by the light.

Then, her whole body melted and turned into a pool of fog, which dissipated.

And these mists seemed to have come alive in an instant, divided into several paths and flew towards the stone man king.

In the air, they expanded rapidly, turning into several big hands, grabbing the stone man's body.

"Futility!" The Stone Man King said coldly, letting those hands grab him, but he remained motionless.

Lu Qing, who was floating in the air, was speechless.

What's the comparison between the third-level late-stage...

Li Yanling may have similar ideas.

She was no longer visible, unable to see or perceive, but the increasingly heavy fog in the palace proved that she was inside.

The big hand made of thick fog could not move the stone man king, which was somewhat beyond her expectations, but it did not mean that she had no choice.

Zhenyuan encouraged, and a female figure appeared faintly in the thick fog in the palace. She raised her hand, and a gust of wind blew, and the fog began to gather towards the stone man king.

The Stone Man King gathered his power and shone the female figure under the starlight. The powerful force completely reached the late stage of the third level, and the female figure out of the thick fog was smashed into pieces again and again.

But it makes no sense and she will soon be reunited again.

On the contrary, the mist condensed beside the Stone Man King has completely wrapped it up.

These mists became extremely aggressive forces, stuck to the surface of the Stone Man King, and began to drill into them with all their might.

What’s even more terrifying is that the surface of the Stone Man King is clearly solid and smooth, but there is always fog, and he can really get in!

The fog that penetrated into it had extremely strong corrosive force, eroding the body of the Stone Man King.

This time, the stone man king felt pain.

It opened its mouth as if it was going to say something, but it couldn't help but let out a tragic, painful howling.

Lu Qing, who was floating in the air, grinned and said, "I'll just say... Is there anything to pretend? I'll have to be beaten..."

However, he thought about it again and felt something was wrong.

A late-stage creature in the third level encountered a golden elixir monk who was obviously much stronger than himself and had a qualitative flying over. He even looked tall and arrogant, as if he was a real king...

This is obviously a brain problem.

But why? How could this Stone Man King have such a problem in his mind?

This kind of creature itself will have this situation? Perhaps it is also an explanation, but Lu Qing always feels that it is not right.

Then, he thought of the palace itself.

Before Li Yanling and the others launched an attack, Lu Qing had already come in and explored.

There are two things worth noting.

One of them is the palace itself.

Why did the Stone Man King make this palace like this? Lu Qing has been to the royal capital of Dayan, seen the imperial court of the Yan Dynasty, and also seen the palaces of several other immortal countries from some jade slips that record things. In terms of style, why does Lu Qing think that it looks very similar to the Great Jin Dynasty?

Of course, it is not completely consistent, but some places seem to have the meaning of inheritance...

"The image of this palace did not come out of thin air...the influence, the power of building this palace did not belong to the Stone Man King itself, but came from a very magical source. This source must have a deep connection with the system in me, and was triggered by the system, thus causing the upgrade of the Huineng Stone Mineral Vein. The by-product is to build this palace, the throne, and the Stone Man King."

"What exactly is the source? What is the relationship with the system? Or... what is the essence of this system?"
