Please give me a chance to be a straight man

Before Shen Xu could figure out why Chen Xiao died here, Ye Chen and the others shouted from above his head, "Fellow Daoist Shen, are you okay! How's the situation down here?"

Hearing this, Shen Xu lit an open fire talisman, looked around by the light of the fire, and found that apart from the bones under him, there was only a small road leading to nowhere in front of him.

So Shen Xu raised his head and shouted at Jiang Xun and the others, "It's safe down here, you can come down."

All the disciples believed it when they heard the words, so they jumped down without any hesitation. In the end, they were so frightened by the head in Shen Xu's hand that they almost lost their breath.

Ye Chen glared at Shen Xu viciously, then came over to look at the appearance of the head, and said to Jiang Xun in surprise, "Brother, it's Chen Xiao."

Everyone doesn't know what Chen Xiao's strength is, but he still has a mid-Golden Core cultivation base, and it is not difficult to save his life in danger, but now he died so miserable, which made only Zhu Zhu who was present The disciples of Tianxuanzong who had cultivated in the base period were terrified in their hearts.

Seeing the pale faces of these disciples, Shen Xu couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic in his heart, so he began to wink at Jiang Xun to ask him to relieve these children.Unexpectedly, Jiang Xun didn't receive Shen Xu's signal at all, but instead waved at him to make him stay away from him.

"..." Jiang Xun, do you know that you will have no friends like this? !

Shen Xu hadn't finished roaring in his heart when the bricks and stones under his feet suddenly trembled violently, and then branches as thick as adult arms suddenly jumped out of the ground.

With quick eyes and hands, Shen Xu pushed the Tianxuanzong disciples beside him to a safe place, and quickly drew out his saber to slash at the branches that stabbed wildly.

Shen Xu's saber is a high-grade spirit sword given by Zhou Hang as a commission before, named Wuyue, although it looks like an ordinary spirit sword, it is a sharp weapon for restraining monsters.These branches full of demonic energy turned into flying ash as soon as they touched the blade.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help praising Shen Xu for getting a good sword.

After Shen Xu and Jiang Xun quickly cleared up the branches one by one, they were about to lead everyone out of the cave the same way, but the stone wall above their heads that was still open suddenly closed.

Shen Xu tried many methods to turn on the organ again, but none of them worked.

Shen Xu looked at Jiang Xun and asked, "What should we do now?"

Jiang Xun heard the words and pointed to the dark path ahead.

"I don't know how many monsters are waiting for us ahead. Maybe the monster that killed Chen Xiao is also among them. Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you sure you want to go?"

Hearing the words, Jiang Xun turned to look at Shen Xu, and said lightly, "You're scared."

Shen Xuli said bluntly, "There are ghosts only if you are not afraid! If you don't believe me, ask your group of juniors if they are afraid!"

Ye Chen and the others dared to contradict Jiang Xun, they immediately straightened their backs and said in unison, "As long as we have senior brothers around, we are not afraid of anything!"

Seeing this, Shen Xu couldn't help applauding these people, and really wanted to give them a certificate for the best dogleg award.

After the voting was over, the minority obeyed the majority, so Shen Xu could only bite the bullet and continue to march deep into the path with Jiang Xun and the others.Everyone lit the open fire talisman, and after seeing the condition of the path clearly, they found that the bricks and stones here still continued the luxurious and rich style, and they were all rare and rare ores.

But as soon as he set foot on the bricks and stones of the path, Shen Xu noticed something was wrong.These bricks and stones seem to be arranged randomly, but they form a certain magic circle, and the only function of this magic circle is to absorb spiritual power, which means that the longer you stay here, the spiritual power will dissipate faster.

Jiang Xun obviously also discovered this problem, so he wanted to destroy the magic circle.But if you want to destroy the operation of the magic circle, you must first find the eye of the formation, and the location of the eye of the formation is often very hidden, and everyone has encountered difficulties for a while.

As time passed, the effectiveness of the formation became more and more powerful, and the aura in everyone's bodies began to be consumed rapidly. A few disciples in the middle stage of foundation establishment obviously couldn't bear it anymore.Although everyone still has some elixir to replenish spiritual energy, this is not a long-term solution after all, so all the disciples began to become anxious in their hearts.

Seeing this, Shen Xu began to quickly recall the plot in the book. After a while, he suddenly remembered that when Jiang Xun and Gu Xuan were trapped here in the book, it was because the disciple named Su Qingyang accidentally found a brick with The hidden mechanism was lucky enough to escape, and there seemed to be some pattern engraved on the brick...

Based on these clues, Shen Xu began to search carefully among the surrounding bricks and stones, and finally found it behind Ye Chen.

Seeing Shen Xu staring straight at him, Ye Chen thought there was something on him, and was about to ask, but Shen Xu suddenly pulled him aside, and turned to call Jiang Xun over.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun walked over slowly.Shen Xu pointed to the brick with the pattern engraved on it and said to him, "Do you see that the pattern on it looks like the two statues at the entrance of the cave when we first came in?"

Jiang Xun glanced at it, then nodded. "This brick should be the key to getting out of here."

Shen Xu smiled slightly, "It's a coincidence that I think so too."

Then Shen Xu turned the brick a few times, and with a crackling sound, the road in front of them suddenly collapsed, and then a staircase that was as wide as one person appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Shen Xu and Jiang Xun looked at each other, and went down the stairs one after the other.

The space at the bottom is much larger than the upper floor, and the layout of the objects here is much more delicate than what you saw before. If nothing else, this should be the main tomb of the powerful demon cultivator, that is, Chen Xiao and the others are looking for the place of inheritance.

Shen Xu's prediction was really good, they hadn't gone far into the depths of the tomb when they saw a coffin displayed in front of them.

This coffin looks no different from an ordinary coffin except that it is covered with talismans, but if you feel it carefully, you will find that there are extremely strong spiritual fluctuations in it.Everyone worried that there might be puppet corpses among them, so they all stood together tacitly, and no one dared to approach the coffin.

Shen Xu has never seen a puppet corpse so far, so he was very curious and wanted to go over to find out, but he was stopped by Jiang Xun unexpectedly.

Shen Xu looked at Jiang Xun suspiciously, and was about to ask, but Jiang Xun answered him with two words, "I'll come."

Shen Xu was stunned for a while before suddenly realizing that Jiang Xun might have disliked him for his low cultivation and felt that he would probably be powerless to fight back when he met a puppet corpse, so he decided to play himself.

Jiang Xun naturally didn't know what Shen Xu was thinking. He carefully took off all the charms on the coffin, and after confirming that there were no organs around, he tried to open the coffin lid.But who knew that the coffin lid was so tight that Jiang Xun couldn't shake it with only one person's strength, so he had no choice but to seek help.

Seeing Jiang Xun looking at him, Shen Xu thought he had discovered something tricky, so he trotted over quickly.But who knew that Jiang Xun actually asked him to help lift the coffin lid, Shen Xu didn't laugh wildly in order to save Jiang Xun's face as the protagonist.

With the cooperation of the two, the coffin lid can be regarded as a gap has been removed.Before Shen Xu and Jiang Xun could see clearly what was inside the coffin, several eager shouts attracted their attention, "Brother, it's a puppet!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, a withered and bloody arm suddenly grabbed Shen Xu and the others from behind.

Shen Xu and Jiang Xun immediately backed away quickly to the two sides respectively, which was barely hurt by the puppet corpse.

Seeing that the sneak attack was missed, the puppet launched a second wave of attack without hesitation for a moment. Shen Xu immediately drew his sword to meet him, but he didn't expect him to stab several times, except for leaving a few unworthy marks on the puppet's body. Outside of the wound, it didn't work at all!

Shen Xu immediately jumped to Jiang Xun's side with a feint, and said to him, "Jiang Daoyou, my attack is ineffective against this puppet, what should I do now?"

Jiang Xun didn't answer him. Instead, he used a magnificent move to get behind the puppet corpse, raised his hand and swung his sword at the puppet corpse's back neck.Immediately after a piercing scream, the puppet was decapitated and died.

Jiang Xun shook off the blood on the sword, and replied flatly, "The puppet's weakness lies in the neck."

Shen Xu: Hehe.
