Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping could sense that Gu Qingcheng was watching him, but because Nanxing and the others had similar reactions to hers, he felt that they were all waiting for his decision, so he didn't pay too much attention.

After a while, Xu Taiping, who was bowing his head in thought, finally raised his head amidst the cries of the little girl outside the castle.

"I just calculated that with enough true energy and blood at this moment, I should be able to hold on until the incense burns out, so I want to try to save the brother and sister."

Xu Taiping glanced at Nan Xing and others, and then said very seriously.

Although this decision was expected by everyone, when Xu Taiping said it, everyone was still a little moved.

Compared with Nan Xing's and the others' moved expressions, Gu Qingcheng's heart was filled with more excitement and anticipation at this moment.

"If Xu Taiping can still get a response from Emperor Xuanhuang with his decision this time, it will prove that my elder brother's original guess was correct. Emperor Xuanhuang is still watching this world."

"If this is the case, then the reason why he turns a blind eye to Xuanhuangtian's current situation is probably because he lacks an opportunity to take action, or a candidate he likes."

At the thought of this, Gu Qingcheng's heart began to beat uncontrollably.

"Sir, the situation outside is very dangerous. No matter how confident you are, accidents may still happen. You should think about it again."

Mr. Zhang stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Mr. Zhang is right. Even if you are right, sir, the rats will disperse when the incense burns out, but no one can guarantee whether any monsters will appear before the incense burns out."

"Sir, if you really want to save him, let me, Zhai, go."

Nan Xing and Zhai Mo also stepped forward to dissuade him.

No matter how much they believed in Xu Taiping, they could not turn a blind eye to the rats outside the stone castle. It was not easy to survive for less than half a stick of incense under the siege of the rats.

"Don't worry, I'm sure."

Xu Taiping shook his head.

If there was more than half a stick of incense left before the rats dispersed, he would never entertain the idea, but if it was less than half a stick of incense, it would be more than enough to sustain him with his newly restored true energy and blood.

So he is definitely not acting out of impulse.

What's more, there was actually another reason why he wanted to save the siblings.

"To tell you the truth, I am willing to save these brothers and sisters, not just because I sympathize with them, but also a little selfishly."

Xu Taiping walked towards the stone castle gate and looked at a few people with a smile.

"Selfish?"

Mr. Zhang and others all looked at Xu Taiping with puzzled faces.

Xu Taiping stood still at the gate, and then answered seriously:

"I want the highest reward from the tower spirit."

According to the tower spirit, as long as they save more than a hundred people, they can choose any ability they have used or a treasure they have used.

This was a huge temptation for Xu Taiping.

At the beginning, he thought it was impossible to save a hundred people under the rats, so he never thought about it. But now they have rescued more than eighty people, and they are not far from the goal of the highest level reward.

Such a rare opportunity, it would be a pity not to try it.

"In that case, it's hard for me to say anything more."

Seeing that Xu Taiping had made up his mind and had sufficient reasons, Mr. Zhang did not stop him.

"He has compassion and compassion, but he doesn't act out of emotion. This is very similar to his elder brother."

Gu Qingcheng, who was originally looking forward to Emperor Xuanhuang's response again, suddenly muttered something to himself in his heart with dark eyes after hearing Xu Taiping's explanation.

"But Ta Ling still hasn't responded to Xu Taiping's choice just now. Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

She suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Miss Qingcheng, I would like to trouble you to open the door for me."

Before Gu Qingcheng could think about it, Xu Taiping suddenly called him at the door of the stone castle.

"good."

Gu Qingcheng stopped thinking about anything else and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Master Rusty Lion, it is easy to open the door of the stone castle, but at the moment the rats are all crowded at the door of the stone castle. Once the door is opened, they will definitely squeeze in at their own risk."

Gu Qingcheng squatted down and put his hands on the ground, then raised his head and asked Xu Taiping seriously:

"Master, what are you going to do then?"

If this problem cannot be solved, Xu Taiping will not only be unable to save people, but will actually harm the group of people in the stone castle.

"Miss Qingcheng, just open the door."

Xu Taiping smiled faintly at Gu Qingcheng, turned around, put his hand on the handle of Lei Po's knife at his waist, faced the door blocked by stones in front of him, then looked stern, and breathed out softly: :

"Leave the rest to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body sank suddenly, and a heavy sword force made a "bang" sound, causing the ground of the stone castle to shake suddenly.

At the same time, a golden flame rose from the scabbard of Lei Po in his hand.

After feeling the power of the sword on Xu Taiping's body at such a close range, as well as the golden flames that were trying to merge with the power of thunder and lightning, Gu Qingcheng's worries disappeared.

Because it was obvious that Xu Taiping planned to use his sword power to rush away all the rats blocking the door.

"Master Rusty Lion, I will remove the boulder in front of the stone castle on the count of three. You have to watch the timing."

While Gu Qingcheng was circulating the true energy in his body, he reminded Xu Taiping loudly.

"good!"

Xu Taiping responded very simply.

"Sir, I'll give you another breath of true energy!"

Just as Gu Qingcheng was mobilizing her true energy to control the vines outside the stone fort, Yuzhu suddenly flicked her sleeves and shot a ball of pure true energy into Xu Taiping's body.

"Thank you!"

With this true energy, Xu Taiping at least didn't have to worry about the consumption of this knife at this moment.

"Three."

At this time, Gu Qingcheng, who had already controlled the huge vines outside, began to shout.

"Two!"

While shouting, large beads of sweat slid down her white forehead to her cheeks and finally dripped onto the ground.

It can be seen that controlling the vines outside the stone fort is extremely consuming for Gu Qingcheng at this moment.

"One!"

When the word "one" was shouted, a layer of green fluorescence suddenly appeared around Gu Qingcheng.
