Xun Hua couldn't hold back any longer, so he took out the machete from his waist and rushed forward.

"Crash."

A gust of wind blew, and the ginkgo trees outside the hall rustled, and golden leaves fell.

In a trance, Lu Zhaozhao seemed to hear the sound of war drums, echoing the footsteps of Xun Hua.

There was a familiar fragrance in the air, like the scent of lilies, but lighter, looming and stirring my thoughts.

He was clearly paying attention to the movements at Xun Hua's feet, but in the next moment he suddenly became absent-minded and diverted his attention.

wrong!

Lu Zhaozhao shook her head. She suddenly realized the problem. Her nerves seemed not as sharp as they were at the beginning. It seemed that after entering this place, she gradually lost her attention.

What's the problem? Is it a layout issue here?

Lu Zhaozhao quickly scanned the surroundings.

It's magnificent, but there's nothing wrong with it.

So what is the reason?

She frowned, and her thoughts gradually slowed down as she smelled the faint fragrance.

Wait! Aroma!

She immediately leaned out the window, but there was no sign of the lilies. The smell of rotting wood still filled the air, and Lu Zhaozhao suddenly understood what had seemed wrong.

Even if the thousand-year-old nanmu wood begins to decay due to age, it cannot have this smell. It is said that the process of nanmu wood decaying is accompanied by a fragrance.

The smell is not emitted by the nanmu wood. This Dragon Palace is beautifully carved. Its owner would never allow anything that emits a strange smell to appear in his mausoleum.

In this case, this smell must have been placed here by the owner, so there must be a reason for its existence.

Lu Zhaozhao frowned, and the fresh floral scent once again entered her nostrils. At this moment, she suddenly remembered what the smell was.

Lycoris radiata, the women's courtyard where she lived in the illusion of the Buddha Temple, Master Jingwen once planted a lot of Lycoris radiata in the backyard!

She still remembers the first time she entered the sea of ​​flowers, she was caught off guard and fainted among the flowers. It was Master Jingwen who noticed she was missing and immediately searched for her, eventually leading her out of the sea of ​​flowers.

The first thing she knew after waking up was that Lycoris radiata was poisonous and hallucinogenic!

So that's why. No wonder she found it increasingly difficult to concentrate since she stepped into this place. No wonder the air was often filled with the smell of decay. It turned out that this was to cover up the smell of the Lycoris radiata hidden in it!

So the question is, what is the purpose of this trap?

Although Lycoris radiata is poisonous, the fragrance content in the air here is not strong, and it can only cause hallucinations at most. If it is only for hallucinations, there must be a follow-up. What will the follow-up be?

Lu Zhaozhao's brows were furrowed even tighter.

Suddenly, there was a noise behind her. She turned around and saw that Xun Hua had accidentally bumped into the bookshelf on his way forward.

He stood up unsteadily and tried to move forward.

"Wait! There's something wrong with the air!" Lu Zhaozhao exclaimed, trying to stop him from moving forward: "Don't go any further! Back off!"

But Xun Hua seemed not to hear her voice, staring at the stairs and walking in that direction.

Master Bai Yuan also realized that something was wrong and held his breath the moment Lu Zhaozhao spoke.

Fortunately, he was not far from the door and did not inhale too much fragrance, so he was still awake at the moment.

He glanced at Xun Hua, then closed his eyes and tilted his head to listen to something.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, moved to Xun Hua's side in a flash, grabbed his shoulders tightly, his five fingers dug deep into his chest, and used the force to move backwards.

The next second, a rain of arrows suddenly fell from the place where Xun Hua originally existed, sharp and dense.

Xun Hua, who was pulled to the door, had not yet stood still when his legs immediately went weak when he saw this scene.

It was obvious that if Master Bai Yuan had not been alert and helped him, he would never have been able to escape from the rain of arrows, and the attack power of the rain of arrows would have killed him on the spot.

He fell to the ground in shock, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

After Lu Zhaozhao consoled him for a few moments, he looked at Master Bai Yuan and asked, "How did you know there would be a rain of arrows there?"

Master Bai Yuan pointed to his ears and said, "My hearing is extraordinary. I can hear hidden, faint, and small sounds. Just before the rain of arrows was triggered, I heard the sound of the mechanism being triggered."

Lu Zhaozhao nodded in understanding, her guard against him growing even stronger. She wondered if this man had recognized her by her voice.

"So how do we get there now?" Master Bai Yuan didn't want to dwell on it any longer, so he turned to Lu Zhaozhao and asked.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at him in confusion. It was obvious that as long as she ran fast enough and didn't inhale the fragrance of flowers and have hallucinations, she could go directly to the second floor. She didn't believe that Master Bai Yuan couldn't see such a simple method.

But when her eyes swept over Xun Hua on the ground, she realized that what Master Bai Yuan wanted to ask was how to take him with her.

Lu Zhaozhao was a little distressed. Xun Hua was slumped on the ground at the moment, and he didn't look very well. He was probably scared because he had just woken up from a hallucination and saw the rain of arrows.

But just waiting for him to recover is not a solution.

Lu Zhaozhao sighed, squatted down and looked him in the eye, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xun, I wonder if you can still go forward?"

"Yes, of course!" Xun Hua replied immediately, but there was a hint of lack of confidence in his tone.

Lu Zhaozhao didn't care what he was thinking. She nodded and said to Master Bai Yuan, "Since that's the case, please help me lead him forward. Brother Bai is very sharp and will definitely lead us to avoid danger."

Master Bai Yuan looked at Lu Zhaozhao below, whose eyebrows were curved. He seemed to be able to see the corners of her mouth that seemed to be smiling through the veil. For a moment, he felt as if he was being plotted against, but he didn't know where he was being plotted against.

Time waits for no one, so he can only agree for now.

Lu Zhaozhao's lips curled up slightly. She stood up and pulled Xun Hua up. Seeing Master Bai Yuan supporting one of Xun Hua's elbows during class, she followed suit and supported the other side.

"Follow me closely, I won't stop to wait for you." Master Bai Yuan said coldly.

Lu Zhaozhao agreed readily.

The next moment, Master Bai Yuan moved, and Lu Zhaozhao immediately followed.

As he shuttled through the first-floor hall and countless hidden weapons slipped past him without causing any harm, Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel admiration.

In the situation just now, it wasn't that she couldn't think of another way. The reason she came up with this most stupid method was that she wanted to test Master Bai Yuan's strength.

Obviously, it was beyond her imagination.

A person can hear a strange sound and identify its exact location in a moment. At the same time, the body can react according to the thoughts and keep moving forward at a high speed while carrying another person.

He was able to make Master Bu Lu break the rules and accept another disciple. At such a young age, he became the dean of Wenyuan Academy and was hailed as the most outstanding leader of the younger generation in the world of cultivation.

Master Bai Yuan is indeed not to be underestimated.
