"Keep an eye out!"
Lu Li decided to give it a try. He wanted to see if he could learn something about puppetry in one day. He didn't need to make Walking Puppets. He just needed to repair the two Walking Puppets and be able to control them.
Lu Li walked into the inner hall and took out a secret skill to study. Hu Lang and Wei Yuan looked at it and forced a smile.
Making a last-minute effort?
Lu Li was too naïve.
How much combat power could a Secret Skill increase?
If a secret skill could allow a warrior of the Eternal Realm to kill a Human Sovereign Realm warrior, then it would be a divine skill.
Well, even if it was a divine skill, could Lu Li learn it in one day?
Wishful thinking!
Wei Yuan sighed but said nothing. He kept staring at the door nervously and the situation outside.
Hu Lang didn't dare to leave. He stayed behind the door at all times, ready to risk his life.
Lu Li had been studying the ancient language for some time. He might not be proficient, but he could recognize the words and understand the meaning.
He held the hide scroll in his hands and read it carefully. It was a large scroll with tens of thousands of words densely packed together. It was hard to read.
It took Lu Li more than four hours to finish reading all the words and understand the meaning clearly.
Four hours later, there were still some muffled sounds coming from the door. The three Human Sovereign Realm warriors had not given up. They had been trying to crack the Inhibition Formation.
Every Inhibition Formation had to be supported by energy. Every attack would consume the energy of the Inhibition Formation.
The three Human Sovereign Realm warriors were ferocious. Maybe they thought that as long as they kept attacking, the energy of the Inhibition Formation would run out sooner or later and the door could be blasted open.
"Alas..."
Lu Li checked the situation outside first and then sighed. After reading all the words on the hide scroll, Lu Li understood that he could not repair the Walking Puppets.
Walking Puppets required beast souls. Without beast souls, they were nothing but a pile of scrap iron. Lu Li was trapped in the inner hall now. Where could he get powerful beast souls?
Also, the way to make Walking Puppets was complicated. Even if Lu Li had beast souls, without help, he would not be able to repair the Walking Puppets without days of work.
Lu Li threw the scroll into his Interspatial Ring and began to think of other ways.
It had been more than four hours and the attacks had not stopped. Recluse Solar Dragon and the other two Human Sovereign Realm warriors would not leave easily.
They dared to surround Lu Li and the others because they knew that the reinforcements of the Wei Family would not arrive any time soon.
Lu Li didn't get up. He continued to sit in the corner with his legs crossed and meditated. He thought for a couple of hours but still couldn't come up with a solution.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
The sounds of attacks outside seemed to be getting louder and louder.
Lu Li glanced over to Hu Lang and Wei Yuan. They looked gloomy and Wei Yuan was even paler.
"The energy in the underground palace is decreasing?"
Lu Li stood up abruptly and asked. Hu Lang nodded bitterly and said, "Yes, this underground palace has existed for so many years. There is not much energy left to support the Inhibition Formation.
I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long after being attacked by three Human Sovereign Realm warriors … "
"But don't worry, Young Master Li."
Hu Lang added, "When the door is blasted open, I will kill my way out and temporarily suppress Long Yang and the other two.
Take the opportunity to rush to the exit. After you escape, I will immediately destroy the passage.
Although it won't be able to trap the three of them for too long, it won't be a problem for a few incense sticks to burn. You can immediately teleport to the Island of Tranquility and leave. "
Hu Lang had been thinking about this for a long time. He must be confident that he could come up with this plan.
Wei Yuan became paler. Hu Lang would create a chance for Lu Li to escape and he wouldn't care about Lu Li's life.
Wei Yuan's expressions changed. Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Young Master Lu, I will try my best to stall one of them as well.
Once Young Master Lu is out of danger, please inform my Clan Head and ask him to treat my family well. "
Wei Yuan was ready to die with Hu Lang. They were going to die anyway, so he might as well help Lu Li escape.
Lu Li was the most distinguished guest of the Great Buddhist Temple since he was received by the abbot of the Great Buddhist Temple. Even the Family Patriarch of the Wei Family had to be polite to him.
If Lu Li could remember this, then his family would have a better life in the Wei Family.
Lu Li understood what Wei Yuan meant but he didn't say anything. Things had not come to that. There was no need to say those things.
To create a chance for Lu Li to survive, to send others to their deaths?
Lu Li couldn't bring himself to do something so cruel, even though Hu Lang was just a scapegoat.
Of course, Lu Li wouldn't be so stupid to die with Hu Lang when he was in a desperate situation.
That was not brotherhood, but idiocy. If he was in a desperate situation, Lu Li would try his best to escape and then try his best to avenge Hu Lang and Wei Yuan.
Lu Li would not give up unless he was in a desperate situation. He paced up and down, trying to think of a way.
It was a pity that Little White was not here or else he could have more strength. Little White was not weak.
But on second thought, it was a good thing that Little White was not here. He wouldn't drag Little White down with him.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
The muffled sounds of explosions were getting louder. It meant that the energy in the underground palace was running out and the Inhibition Formations were getting weaker.
Lu Li thought about it but couldn't come up with a solution. He had to take out the skill to make Walking Puppets and study it.
"Eh?"
Lu Li checked an Interspatial Ring with psychic power. It was put together with the hide scroll. It was a treasure he got from the underground palace and there seemed to be a beast claw in it.
Lu Li didn't care about it before but now, he was intrigued. He took out the Interspatial Ring and checked it with psychic power.
"Buzzing!"
Lu Li's eyes suddenly lit up. He was trembling with excitement. Every hair on his body was standing on end and his face was filled with excitement.
"What is it?"
Hu Lang sensed something was wrong with Lu Li and asked. Wei Yuan looked over in confusion as well.
Lu Li said nothing. He used Xuan Energy to dissolve the Interspatial Ring and then took out the huge beast claw from it.
"Buzzing ~"
A claw the size of two men appeared in the inner hall. The claw was golden in color with many small scales. There were hooks on the claw which looked sharp.
It looked like an eagle's claw but it had five claws. The claw was cut off at the wrist and there were neat cuts on it.
The beast claw was powerful. It seemed to have been stored in the Interspatial Ring for millions of years. But when it came out, the beast's energy and qi were still suffocating. Even Hu Lang felt suffocated.
"The beast claw …"
Not long ago, Lu Li and Wei Yuan both checked the beast claw with psychic power.
But what they were feeling right now and what they were feeling right now were two different things.
By psychic power, the beast claw was like the claw of a Beast King even if the claw of a Beast King was not precious.
However, as soon as Lu Li took out the beast claw, Hu Lang and Wei Yuan had the same thought — this was definitely not a beast claw of a Beast King. They had seen Beast Kings before. Hu Lang had killed one before.
A beast claw that had been stored for so many years could make Hu Lang feel suffocated. It was not hard to imagine how powerful the owner of the beast claw must have been.
"Can it be … the legendary claw of a Beast God?"
Hu Lang and Wei Yuan glanced at each other, the same thought appearing in their minds.
