AI Yeqing’s message for help was timely.

With their help, he could enter the flame area openly. Even if old man turtle asked, he would have an excuse.

Li xiaonian immediately replied, ” I don’t care about the money. Let’s split the dark gold equipment equally. Tell me the location and I’ll be there.

......

On the other side.

AI Yeqing and Wan Hui were trapped on a round altar. Inside the altar, their power and health points were being continuously extracted. Outside the altar, stone puppets with flames all over their bodies were roaring at them. They were afraid of some kind of power in the altar and did not dare to step into it.

Wan Hui swallowed a health potion to prevent her HP from being completely emptied, resulting in her death.

His health points finally increased a little, but the altar continued to drain it, and his health points slowly decreased again.

Wan Hui glanced at AI Yeqing beside her and said bitterly, ” “Sister AI, did shadow reply? what did he say?”

AI Yeqing had a huge body and a lot of fat. Due to the presence of the flaming puppets, her sweat was constantly splashing.

AI Yeqing wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded. he replied that he’ll be here soon. As for the rescue fee, he doesn’t want it. He plans to split the dark gold equipment with us equally.

Hu ...

Wan Hui heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes lit up as he said, ” “Since he asked for the equipment, doesn’t that mean that he has a way to leave this place alive?”

The staguli ruins had appeared in the Azure light Plains, and the two of them just happened to be there. Naturally, they were the first to hear the news, and then they quietly entered.

After entering the ruins, they saw that they only had two days left to live, and based on the information they had, they knew that the three factions had suffered heavy losses, so they instantly had the thought of retreating.

They weren’t stupid. Although there were many treasures in the ruins, they had to be able to take them out before they could be considered their own. Otherwise, no matter how many treasures there were, they would all be in vain once they died.

The two of them were quite lucky. They ran around the fire area and encountered an NPC corpse along the way. They took advantage of it and obtained a dark gold equipment with good attributes.

With the dark gold equipment in hand, they were even more eager to leave this place.

Unfortunately, good times didn’t last long. Not long after, they encountered another group of terrifying flaming puppets. Even though AI Yeqing was level 83 and her strength was comparable to a level 90 player, she was still no match for them.

The two of them were chased by the monster and finally escaped to this strange altar.

“I’m not sure, maybe.”

AI Yeqing wasn’t sure if li xiaonian had the means and ability to leave this place. She could feel that li xiaonian had a lot of secrets, but she didn’t plan to find out what they were. She wouldn’t tell anyone either.

It was her principle to not meddle in other people’s business and not go back on her word.

“Hmph, with his greedy nature, he’s definitely confident of leaving this place. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up on the sky-high rescue fee and chosen dark gold equipment with an uncertain future.”

As she spoke, Wan Hui looked at the surrounding flaming puppets. “Sister AI, can you tell what level this flaming puppet is?”

“I can’t see his level, but I think he’s around level 95 to 97,” AI Yeqing deduced.

Wan Hui’s mouth was half-open and she was dumbfounded. She said in a daze, ” “Are you sure shadow will save us if he sees such a powerful monster?”

don’t worry. Shadow is like me. He’s a man of his word. As long as he agrees, he’ll do his best to save us.

......

Li xiaonian rode on his Dragonhawk and avoided the raging flame Army, taking a detour into the flaming area.

Ding ...

System, [ you have entered the fire area of staguli Castle. ]

As soon as he stepped into the area of flames, a wave of heat washed over him, and a dry smell filled his nostrils and lungs. Li xiaonian took out a can of drink and finished it in one gulp.

Below them was a strange group of stone statues.

There were all kinds of creatures carved on the stone statues. There were gorillas, Tigers, leopards, and some other creatures that li xiaonian had never seen before. There were also many human stone statues.

The stone statues were huge and were about the same size as the stone guardians. They were all more than 30 meters tall.

Below the group of stone statues, the players of the raging flame Army were carefully searching and exploring around. Above them, there were some strange light balls floating.

In order not to let old man Gui notice anything unusual, li xiaonian rarely looked at the sky, except for the necessary vigilance.

However, the more one was afraid of something, the more it would appear.

Li xiaonian had only been flying for about ten minutes when a fifty-meter-tall stone statue suddenly moved. It opened its huge palm and gestured for li xiaonian to stop. At the same time, old man GUI’s voice was heard.”Your Excellency shadow, you promised me that you wouldn’t enter any dangerous places before helping me complete my mission. The area you’ve entered is already extremely dangerous, so please leave. Of course, if you insist on going deeper, I won’t stop you. Please return the mission reward that I’ve paid you in advance to me. ”

“You are ... Senior?”

Li xiaonian clearly knew that the stone statue was under the control of the turtle old man, but he still showed a puzzled expression. Acting, of course, had to be real.

“That’s right, it’s me,” The old man said slowly.

Li xiaonian’s face was full of admiration. “Senior, you’re so powerful. You can even control such a huge stone statue.” After a short pause, li xiaonian explained, ” “Senior, it’s not that I want to break the contract, but I really have no choice. My friends are trapped in a strange altar up ahead, and I need to save them. Since senior’s strength is so strong, I’m thick-skinned enough to ask senior to help save my friend.”

Li xiaonian’s face was calm, but he was a little anxious inside.

The stone giant turned to look at the depths of the flame area and shook his head. “Your friends are two women?”

“That’s right.”

I’m sorry, I can’t save them either. They accidentally broke into the forbidden fire zone. I can’t get close to them. Then, old man turtle sighed, ” forget it, I can’t force you. Since they are your friends, it is your duty to save them. But please return the primal Chaos source stone and blood calamity stone. If you can come back safely, I will still give you the two treasures. Otherwise, I will have to ask someone else to try to kill Eric.

Old man Gui was magnanimous and didn’t seem to care about it at all. However, he was sure that li xiaonian had already used up the two treasures and couldn’t possibly have any left.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, li xiaonian said with an embarrassed look, ” “Senior, I’ve already used up the prize you paid in advance, so I can’t return it to you. But don’t worry, I have a divine artifact. You know that if I encounter any danger, I’ll immediately hide in the divine artifact space. So, staguli Castle may seem to be full of danger, but as long as I’m careful enough, I won’t die easily. My goal is simple. As long as I save my friend, I’ll immediately leave this place and help you fulfill your wish.”

“No,”

The old turtle man’s attitude was extremely firm. “I know you’re very powerful, but the place you’re going to is a forbidden area in the fiery region. It’s extremely dangerous. Even with a divine weapon, it was hard to guarantee their safety. Since you’ve already used up the treasure, why don’t you kill Eric first and then save your friend? although your friend is in danger, he won’t die for the time being.”

“......”

Li xiaonian’s eyes twinkled.

If he made a move, he might be completely suppressed by old man Gui. If he didn’t make a move and continued forward, old man Gui would have enough reason to kill him.

Li xiaonian didn’t respond. The old turtle Man sighed and said,”Your Excellency shadow, it’s not that I need your help, but you’re the most capable person in the entire staguli Castle. Since you can kill Ashley, it won’t be a problem for you to deal with Eric. So, you have to understand my difficulties.”

After a long time, li xiaonian braced himself and said, ” “Senior, my friends are in danger. They’re waiting for me to save them. Please understand me.”

Old man turtle’s heart was filled with killing intent, and his loud voice resounded throughout the staguli ruins, ” shadow, you’ve broken the rules. Now, I’ll completely suppress you!

His voice was loud and clear. Of course, he wanted to announce this matter to the public. As long as he stood on the moral high ground and killed an Ying, no one here would feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Moreover, he was also a little suspicious. Did an Ying discover something? no matter what he discovered, if he completely suppressed an Ying and took away the divine weapon, the mutants in the ruins would not believe anything an Ying said.

“Die!”

Old man turtle controlled the giant stone statue, and its huge palm pressed down. At the same time, the space around li xiaonian seemed to freeze, imprisoning li xiaonian in place.

MMH!

Li xiaonian couldn’t move, and his face turned unsightly.
