Chapter 3874: Pressure From the Strong

With a thought, all the puppets, including the previously damaged ones, were put into the space ring, waiting for time to study them.

"Your boy is very thoughtful and has memorized all the formations on the previous stone slab. Are you planning to use them after you return?"

How could Xiao Yi hide this little thought from Zixu? While taking away the puppet, he also wrote down the formation.

He really has this plan. He has the puppet and has learned the formation. Maybe it will come in handy at a critical moment.

"Hey, Master, you know all this. Since this formation can control puppets, I will make it according to the law when I go back, and it will definitely work."

"That being said, this kind of puppetry can only be considered an entry-level skill. Your master and I don't even look down on it. It's okay to learn it. It can be considered as your training."

Zixu told Xiao Yi that when he returns and his soul power becomes stronger, he can teach him more advanced soul control techniques.

Once he learned the art of soul control, it would be easy to control a puppet. He wanted to teach Xiao Yi everything he had learned, and he believed that Xiao Yi would not disappoint his expectations.

"Okay, these puppets have been dealt with, let's continue walking inside."

Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue said, Xue Yaoyue jumped up, took off the painting hanging in the stone hall, held it in his hand and looked at it.

The painting shows a young and beautiful woman, who must be a standard beauty in today's society. At first, Xue Yaoyue thought that the woman in the painting was the owner of the stone palace.

But after seeing the inscription on it clearly, it seemed that I had guessed wrong. It was not what I thought. It turned out that the owner of the stone palace was someone else.

"The owner of the Stone Palace admires the woman in this painting, but it's a pity that she already has an owner. He can only bury his longing and himself in this place that will never see the light of day."

Xue Yaoyue sighed, but the master of the stone palace was obviously a strong man. It was really sad to be able to have such strength but to be trapped in the word "love".

"The owner of this stone palace is dead, and the painting is his last work. However, the owner of this stone palace lived a long life."

The inscription above was made by the master of the stone palace when he was three hundred and ninety-nine years old. At such an age, he has exceeded the limits of human beings and cannot be called an old monster.

And he still had the energy to paint, leaving behind this masterpiece. After all, he could not escape the laws of this world.

"Strange!"

Xiao Yi stared at the painting and the writing on it, and there was one thing that made him very concerned.

"What's weird?"

"Xue Yaoyue, you probably won't forget the sentence I found on the stone pillar in front of our stone palace. I don't recognize the writing."

When Xiao Yi said this, Xue Yaoyue immediately understood. Although the characters on this painting were ancient characters, she could recognize them.

It was completely different from what was written on the pillar before. It was written randomly by a person, or there was a hidden meaning in it. Xiao Yi turned his eyes to a passage in the stone palace.

There was a passage in the stone hall that led to the back. In the passage, several dead people appeared, and the dead were piled together.

He walked forward quickly and saw clearly what was going on. There were more than a dozen dead people lying on the ground, some of them were puppets, and the puppets had been damaged.

"these are……"

"There should have been people who broke into this place before us. They also had a fight with the puppets, but unfortunately they all died here."

Xiao Yi squatted down and looked around. The skin of these dead people on the ground had been dried long ago, leaving only a thin layer. Their collapsed eyes looked a bit scary.

His clothes turned into dust when he moved a little. Xiao Yi waved his hand and searched these corpses to see if he could find any valuable clues.

However, these people died a long time ago. One thing is certain, these people were trapped and died in the puppet array. It can be seen from the withered expressions on each person's face that they were very desperate at that time.

"These people have been dead for more than a hundred years. No valuable clues can be found, and it is impossible to figure out their identities."

Unable to find any clues, Xiao Yi walked past these corpses, but was able to confirm that the purpose of these people was also for this stone palace. He became even more convinced that there was something in the stone palace worth taking risks.

Xiao Yi thought of this. Perhaps the writings left on the stone pillar outside were a warning or a mark made by the accomplices of these people to future generations.

Is that map the last message left by a living person, or is there another mystery? Xiao Yi continued to walk along the passage of the stone hall, and immediately reached the end of the stone hall.

He and Xue Yaoyue came to the interior of the stone hall. They saw many lights lighting up in an instant, illuminating the environment here. Xiao Yi gradually adapted to the light in front of him.

"This is……"

Xiao Yi saw an old man sitting cross-legged in the center of the stone hall, wearing a black robe, and he was obviously lifeless.

This must be the owner of the stone palace. He is dignified and majestic with white hair like silver. Although he has fallen, his body has been preserved, as if he were a living person.

If Xiao Yi hadn't been able to use the power of the soul, he would have thought that the old man was still alive. Xue Yaoyue did not have such an ability and stood beside Xiao Yi with a nervous expression.

"Don't worry, there's no need to be nervous. The person is already dead."

Xiao Yi walked forward. The master of the stone palace had fallen, but the pressure he left behind was still there. As soon as Xiao Yi took a few steps forward, a majestic pressure hit his face.

Like a strong wind blowing towards Xiao Yi, blocking Xiao Yi's progress, as if to warn Xiao Yi not to disturb the purity of the owner here, Xiao Yi's expression changed.

"Such a strong pressure. Even if he is dead, he won't let anyone get close to him easily. He is indeed a strong man."

Xue Yaoyue noticed something strange about Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi's steps became sluggish, as if he had to use all his strength with every step he took.

"Xiao Yi, why don't you retreat, I feel it will be in danger if you continue to move forward."

Xue Yaoyue didn't need to say this, Xiao Yi knew in his heart that the pressure of the strong man was like crushing his whole body to pieces, Xiao Yi clenched his fists.

Having come to this point, how could he retreat so easily? He had always been talking about how strong the strong men in this world were, and he was going to verify it himself today.

"Damn it, you are just a fallen person, how could you possibly stop me?"

The pressure of the strong man will increase by 10% every time Xiao Yi takes two steps forward, and will double in the end. It is like a mountain, pressing heavily on Xiao Yi's body, making it impossible for him to breathe.

"Intruder, you have disturbed my peace, but you actually have the strength to pass through the puppet array I set up, and you can save your life without retreating quickly."
