As he spoke, Lin Xiao and Gong Yangchi both turned to look at Blackie.
Blackie just stood there, looking like a meditating old monk. He didn't seem to have any intention of answering. Lin Xiao and Gong Yangchi felt very helpless. On the way here, Blackie hadn't taken the initiative to answer Lin Xiao and Gong Yangchi's questions. In particular, he wouldn't say a single word about such secretive questions.
Right at this moment, Dipankara suddenly spoke out. "Master, as I see it, they should be in the state of 'zombies'."
"Zombies?"
Lin Xiao was still rather curious about this title. He couldn't help but ask, "Dipankara, do you know why these people have become like this?"
"I don't know."
Spreading his hands, Dipankara said, "Your subordinate only feels that they are clearly dead. They should be considered dead. But now, they are able to move, and they are moving unconsciously. They are somewhat similar to zombies or golems. Thus, I feel that it is more appropriate to call them zombies. As for why they have become like this, your subordinate doesn't know either. But there is one thing that I am certain of. Something is strange here!"
"Right."
Lin Xiao agreed with Dipankara's words. Looking again at Blackie, he said, "Brother Blackie, do you know what's going on here?
What should we do next? "
"I don't know."
Blackie shook his head. His expression was even more mechanical than it had been on the way here. It was somewhat similar to that of zombies. He said, one word at a time, "The Headmaster ordered that if we want to find the ore, we have to go deep into the palace. There is something we need there."
"Something we need?"
Lin Xiao frowned. He couldn't help but say, "Aren't we here to find the adamantine ore mine?
Can it be that we need to find something else? "
"I don't know."
Blackie still had that mechanical look on his face. Gritting his teeth, he said, "These are the Headmaster's orders!"
Lin Xiao was speechless.
He had wanted to have a good chat with Blackie, but looking at Blackie's current state, there was no point in saying anything more.
Seeing the look on Lin Xiao's face, Gong Yangchi frowned as well. He asked, "Headmaster Lin, should we continue going in?
I think this palace is very strange! "
After working together for such a long time, Gong Yangchi also recognized Lin Xiao. At this critical moment, he chose to believe in Lin Xiao, so he asked for Lin Xiao's opinion.
This …
Hearing Gong Yangchi's question, Lin Xiao was also a little hesitant. He sent a voice transmission to Blade Of The Undead, Bloodlust Sword, and Heavenly Chime Bell and asked, "What do you think?"
No matter what, the Blade Of The Undead, the Bloodlust Sword, and the Heaven Chime Bell were still Divine Artifacts. Moreover, the Blade Of The Undead, the Bloodlust Sword, and the Heaven Chime Bell were somewhat familiar with this place. Therefore, Lin Xiao wanted to ask for their opinions.
"This place is indeed very strange, but I don't think it's too dangerous."
The Blade Of The Undead slowly analyzed. "If they were still alive, you wouldn't be a match for them. But now that they're all dead, they're just a bunch of 'living dead' and won't be able to cause much harm to you. Moreover, there really was an adamantine mine on Wuji Island. Zhou Yuan's words might not be completely false."
"That's right. With us here, you don't have to be too afraid."
Hearing Undying Evil Blade's words, the Heavenly Chime Bell chimed in. Although Bloodthirsty Evil Blade didn't say anything, he didn't raise any objections. Most likely, he also agreed with Undying Evil Blade and Heavenly Chime Bell.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao took a deep breath and looked at Gongyang Chi, saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Brother Gongyang, let's go in and take a look!"
"Okay, then let's go in and see what's inside."
Gong Yangchi nodded when he heard this.
Although he was still a little worried, he was also very curious about what was in the depths of the palace. Since Lin Xiao had already made his choice, he naturally wouldn't back down.
Blackie didn't say anything, but Lin Xiao and Gong Yangchi both saw the joy on his face.
Just like that, under Blackie's lead, Lin Xiao and Gong Yangchi continued forward. But the group had only taken a few steps when two sword cries suddenly sounded.
Accompanied by the sword cries, two figures holding swords appeared in front of Lin Xiao and the others.
"One for each."
Gong Yangchi directly said when he saw the figures appear.
With that said, Gong Yangchi attacked. As for Dipankara, he quickly attacked the other one.
Lin Xiao stood to the side with a calm expression.
He understood Gong Yangchi's words just now. He wasn't talking about one for each of them, but about the weapons in their hands, which were 'saint weapons'.
Just now, Dipankara killed the Living Dead and got his bow and arrows. Gong Yangchi was very envious.
Although saint weapons were not as good as divine weapons, they were also rare weapons. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were priceless. Of course, Gong Yangchi didn't want to miss out on them.
After all, the combat strength of these Living Dead was not very strong. They were only at the early stage of the Half-saint. They were more than enough to deal with them. The saint weapons obtained were more advanced than their own weapons!
"Die!"
Gong Yangchi and Dipankara shouted at the same time, finished off the 'zombies' in front of them, and took their swords from them.
"Let's continue!"
Taking a look at Lin Xiao, a hint of excitement flashed in Gong Yangchi's eyes.
Whether it was for Lin Xiao or Gong Yangchi, of course, the more the better. After all, such treasures were delivered to their doorstep. They wouldn't complain about having too many!
Even if they didn't need it, they could give it to their own sect and subordinates.
To Gong Yangchi, even though the Medicine Sect had been destroyed, there were still some disciples who had survived. As long as they destroyed the Three Hidden Sects, they would need to rebuild the Medicine Sect sooner or later. Rebuilding the Medicine Sect would naturally require the use of Divine Weapons.
Lin Xiao also understood Gong Yangchi's thoughts. He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go!"
Lin Xiao certainly didn't want to miss a weapon like a saint weapon. However, since Gong Yangchi wanted it, Lin Xiao was embarrassed to take it for himself. It was more fair to each of them.
After reaching an agreement, the two followed Hei Zi and went into the depths of the broken palace.
As for Hei Zi, he acted as if he didn't see the saint weapon and just led the way mechanically. Perhaps the saint weapon had no effect on him at all.
"Same old rules!"
After walking for a while, two more Living Dead appeared on the road. Gong Yangchi glanced at Lin Xiao and said with a smile.
In this way, they went forward and killed more than a dozen Living Dead. However, not all of these Living Dead had a saint weapon. Therefore, Lin Xiao and Gong Yangchi only obtained four saint weapons along the way.
