Temple 171, Rodi!

  The people in the temple are all dressed up, all wearing white robes, indicating that these people's status is all the white-robed attendants of the temple, and even in the temple, they are not lightweights.

  It's clear that these three people are older than Xiaoming and the others. The one in charge has a decent appearance, but only average looks-wise. However, he has an inexplicable aura about him. When he sees Xiaoming and the others, his eyes narrow slightly, and when his gaze falls on Arthur, it lingers for a moment longer.

  This man knows Arthur!

  Xia Ming's mind flashed with this idea, combining what Arthur had said before about the strong men in the temple, and he already had a conclusion in his heart.

  "Rody, we meet again." Arthur stepped forward with a calm tone.

  Lodi!

  It's him after all!

  That's Roddy, the one Arthur said was evenly matched with him! He's also a formidable opponent. According to Arthur's conjecture, among the people sent by the Temple this time, the mysterious young man named Picasso and these two Roddys are both worthy opponents.

  It seemed to be the case, among the three of them, it was Rody who stood out from the crowd, smiling as he glanced at Xia Ming and the others before finally focusing his gaze on Arthur.

  "Ah, Arthur, it's been a while." Roddy said with a smile, and it was strange to say that this smile of Roddy's added a lot of charm to his face, as if he were your closest friend confiding in you, making you feel like you were basking in the warmth of spring.

  This made Xia Ming even more vigilant and uncomfortable in his heart.

  "The people in the temple must have practiced some kind of mysterious magic, and when they speak, it's as if they're trying to bewitch people's minds. It's really spooky." It seems that the people in the temple are quite skilled, no wonder the number of their followers has been increasing over the years, and their cultivation techniques are probably inseparable from them.

  Xia Ming secretly despised him in his heart. This Luo Di really had a natural talent for being a rascal.

  "This must be Xia Ming, who took first place in the Magic Warrior Tournament at Cangyan Academy, and Miss Su Weiwei beside him." Rodi shifted his gaze to stare directly at Xia Ming and Su Weiwei.

  Xia Ming shrugged, and the Snowball Beast was immediately put into the Moon Shadow Dusk's space. Xia Ming discovered that the Moon Shadow Dusk's space could hold living creatures. The Snowball Beast was one of their important dependencies in the ancient ruins, and it couldn't be known by those people from the Holy Temple.

  "What's wrong, everyone is fighting for themselves. Doesn't seem to be affected, does it?" Xia Ming asked with a shrug.

  "Of course not." Rody smiled, his eyes calm, but somehow seemed to see through everything, this gaze made Xiaoming very uncomfortable.

  "But I and my companions have received a message that there is a castle to the east of our location. It seems like something strange is going on inside, so why don't we go together?" Rodi said with a smile.

  Rody and their goal is also the eastern castle!

  Rody's direct invitation was unexpected for Xiaoming and the others. After all, the Temple and they were completely competitive or even hostile relationships. To put it bluntly, if there was any treasure, people from both sides would immediately start fighting, lacking only a spark to ignite the fire.

  Xia Ming and the other two exchanged a glance. If they went to the castle alone, they would still end up meeting each other anyway. Since Luo Di had invited them, it was better to just agree.

  "Alright then, let's go together." Xia Ming said.

  Rody chuckled lightly. He nodded, his eyes circling around Xiaoming and Arthur again for a while, he also saw that among the three people, Xiaoming was subtly in charge, which made him somewhat curious.

  What kind of person is Arthur? He's incredibly clear about it. Looks like Xiaoming is more worthy of his attention. Lodi gave Xiaoming a deep look.

  "Alright, let's go!" Rodi smiled, still making it impossible to discern his true intentions, and walked ahead. The two companions by his side seemed to have a considerable amount of respect for Rodi as well, following closely behind him as they journeyed on.

  Can't grasp Roddy's mind. Xiaoming and the other two were on high alert as they rushed towards the castle in the east, finally arriving at the general area around dusk.

  In the distance, Xia Ming saw a solitary and somewhat eerie castle, extremely ancient, unknown what kind of stone material was used to build it, looking gloomy.

  This castle should also be an ancient relic, built by humans in this world before, but unfortunately it has been abandoned for a long time in this space, and finally became the territory of Snowball Beast.

  The castle was magnificent, although it had been abandoned for many years, Xia Ming and others could still see at a glance.

  "It seems we've arrived." Rodi smiled slightly, stopping his movement first. His white robe was very conspicuous under the sky at this time. He smiled and said: "I suppose you three are also interested in going in to take a look, let's rely on our own abilities."

  Xia Mingxin said nonsense, they all came and it was impossible not to go in and take a look, but he wasn't clear about Rody's intentions, so he didn't respond.

  "Let's go." Arthur and Roddy had dealt with each other before, so they were somewhat familiar with him. This guy Roddy was probably also trying to find out the specific strength of Xiaoming's team, but Roddy actually dared to be so arrogant, not fearing Xiaoming's three people at all. It seemed that he must have had some backing.

  The atmosphere between the two teams was no longer harmonious, and the already awkward atmosphere had a hint of mutual exploration.

  "Go." Xia Ming's words were concise and to the point.

  The two teams walked towards the castle together, the castle gate was open, and the wall surface of the castle was completely dark black, which was due to the long years of erosion. The entire castle also had many broken places, but it could be preserved for thousands of years and still maintained this level, which is absolutely a masterpiece in today's world.

  Walking inside the castle, the ground creaked with a strange feeling.

  "Snowball Beast, I'm now in your lair. This place seems to be deserted." Xiaoming communicated with the Snowball Beast in the unique space of Moon Shadow Dusk.

  "Yes, adults, we also went back to the castle before, and indeed there is no one inside! But that Raiden was too scary, we didn't dare to stay there for long! We could only migrate to the west......" Xueyuan beast was casually thrown into the space of Moon Shadow Dusk by Xiaoming, and was even more frightened, hearing Xiaoming ask it, hurriedly replied.

  Xia Ming nodded, it seemed that the Snowball Beast wouldn't know any more information either. From now on, they could only rely on themselves to investigate and hopefully find a clue about Leiton.

  Entering the castle, everyone searched separately. Many things in the castle were completely rotten and had a musty smell. Xiaoming searched for a long time before gently pushing open the door to a room, and was stunned.

  "There's a basement here!"

  Everyone's gaze converged over here.

  Xia Ming simply pushed the door with one hand, and it fell directly to the ground with a loud crash, letting out a painful groan as it shattered into several pieces, completely ending its mission.

  "Basement." Xia Ming said in his heart, and at the same time everyone else was also drawn over.

  The basement was full of dust, and it was clear that no one had entered here for a long time. The dust filled the air, and Xia Ming and the others couldn't help but wrinkle their brows.

  The basement doesn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary.

  Xia Ming's gaze swept the entire space, finding that the basement was empty except for a nondescript table with several dusty small objects scattered on it, but they didn't seem to be anything useful.

  Suddenly, Xia Ming's right hand felt as if it had been electrocuted and was numb! The space ring in his hand was experiencing a strange fluctuation!

  "What's going on?" This mysterious fluctuation could only be sensed by Xia Ming himself, and he subconsciously looked at the ring on his left hand.

  That was a secret silver ring he bought at the auction in Wanyang Trading House, which had been carried with him all along. In order to cover people's ears and eyes, he also made special treatment for the secret silver.

  But now, this mysterious silver ring actually emitted a strange fluctuation, as if there was something in the basement that was calling him, it was a call from his soul!

  "This silver ring on my hand, when I first bought it, seemed to be missing a corner, was a defective product, could it be..."

  Xia Ming thought of a possibility and his heart started racing.

  "The other half of this silver ring is also in this basement!"

  Xia Ming was completely excited, but immediately covered up his emotions, not letting Rodina's three temple people detect anything.
