Mist Beast Assault, Breaking Through the Traveling Palace
Not long after walking, nine roads branched out again ahead.
At the same time, the road became increasingly narrow, less than two feet wide.
It is basically only large enough for a single monk to pass through.
Faced with such a special terrain, many monks hesitated.
Including the team organized by the Zhang Family, one of Eight Great Families, also stopped to sort out their formation.
Seeing this, Yu Zhenyang immediately followed the planned plan and walked at the front of the team.
Ma Wenbo deliberately took a step back and fell at the back.
They once again chose to stagger those competitors who seemed to be stronger.
However, because many casual cultivators think the same way, a large number of cultivators choose this route.
Fortunately, everyone consciously kept a certain safe distance and there was no crowding.
However, this peaceful time only lasted for three quarters of an hour.
"Ah~!"
Suddenly there was a scream from behind.
Xiao Chen immediately turned around, only to see a casual cultivator who entered Secret Realm to explore alone, missing his left arm.
He hurriedly stopped the bleeding and at the same time used his defensive spiritual shield.
The shield was not pointed at the monk in front or behind, but directly blocked in front of the mist on his left side.
"Be careful of the fog, there is Tier 3 Demon Beast in it!"
The monk behind the casual cultivator hurriedly warned him, and at the same time, he also used his spiritual shield to protect himself.
He had just seen clearly from behind that the strange Demon Beast suddenly appeared and instantly tore the Body Protecting Profound Light inscribed on Spirit Robe.
However, because the fog not only blocks the view, but also blocks the Divine Sense, no one can see the position of the Demon Beast now.
I don't even know if it escaped or if it was preparing to ambush the next target.
"Let's get closer and protect both sides!"
Yu Zhenyang not only immediately followed Water Ring Shield, but also did not forget to turn around and command.
The protective range of the spiritual shield is not small. It is safer for two monks to stand closer and parry one on the left and the other on the right than it is for one person to stand alone.
However, there are five people in their team, so they can only make up two groups.
Cao Mingjie has taken a step back to stand with Ma Wenbo.
Yu Zhenyang thought about it for a moment, then took out a piece of Return Origin Thick Earth Talisman and held it in his hand, while saying, "Daoist Jinguang, please take care of the right side of Daoist Qiu."
"I'm Body Cultivator, those beasts shouldn't dare to touch me."
This suggestion is actually quite good, but Xiao Chen doesn't like to be crowded with others.
He is used to fighting alone and is really not used to cooperating with his teammates.
So he shook his head and refused. "It's better for you, fellow Daoist Yu, to do it. I can handle it myself."
Qiu Fanghui actually didn't trust Xiao Chen, and originally wanted to defend back-to-back with Yu Zhenyang.
Upon hearing this, he immediately took two steps forward and stood next to the other party.
Yu Zhenyang I originally wanted to persuade him, but seeing this, it was hard to say anything further.
He turned around and warned, "In this case, Daoist Jinguang will go between the two groups of us. Junior Brother Ma, you should follow closer. Let's shorten the formation."
Originally, he and Ma Wenbo were separated by a full hundred feet.
This is to prevent accidents, especially when facing some large-scale Law Technique or agencies, so that someone can be rescued in time without being affected.
But now the danger comes from the fog on both sides, and appropriately shortening the formation is also conducive to mutual coordination.
It is mainly beneficial to the security of the middle Xiao Chen.
Although it is not actually necessary, his intention is still quite good.
Worried about Demon Beast lurking in the mist, most monks slowed down and increased their vigilance.
Some monks who wanted to pass quickly were forced to follow the crowd and walk slowly.
Perhaps this behavior had an effect, and nothing happened for a long time.
However, the monk at the front soon discovered that the road ahead began to twist and turn.
It is no longer a straight line, but becomes an arc like lightning.
You need to change directions every ten feet or so, and the line of sight in front and behind is completely cut off by the fog.
Before Xiao Chen and the others could enter, screams rang out again.
The difference was that this time there was a violent explosion immediately following.
"Boom! Boom!..."
The sound of fighting lasted for about ten breaths before the front became calm again.
The monks behind tried to follow up, but no new sounds came.
Soon Xiao Chen and others also came to the arc area, where Spirit Shield Fragment can also be seen on the ground.
From the Magic Trace left behind, it can be judged that this should be a Mid-stage Golden Core monk.
But it seems that he is probably in danger.
"Returning Origin Thick Earth, protect me!"
Cao Mingjie directly inspired Talisman, forming an earthy yellow halo outside his body.
He is Early-stage Golden Core, so it is inevitable to be a little worried when seeing such a situation.
Although Tier 3 Talisman has a high cost of use, you should not be too stingy when using it.
"Boom!"
"Thousand Prism Thorns!"
"Seven Severs of Crazy Sword, Breaking the Army!"
Soon there was another explosion, and at the same time different shouts came from behind and behind.
It was only then that everyone discovered that the Demon Beast hiding in the thick fog were not only on both sides, but also numerous.
At this moment, they attacked multiple monks from front to back at the same time.
Especially those casual cultivators who do not have a team are given special care.
In an instant, Five Phases Spiritual Qi rioted in the entire passage, and a changing strong wind blew by, mixed with the fresh smell of blood, stimulating everyone's nerves.
However, Demon Beast unexpectedly did not appear in the ten-foot-long path where Xiao Chen was located.
So although he could hear the fierce fighting happening around him, he couldn't see the specific situation clearly.
"Come a little closer, Junior Brother Ma, you guys come over too!"
Yu Zhenyang stepped back from the front, and at the same time called his two junior brothers to continue shrinking their formation.
"Senior Brother, won't this be too dense?"
Ma Wenbo was a little hesitant. After all, in a ruins, those inexplicable restrictions and mechanisms had to be guarded against.
"Third Junior Brother, be careful!"
Yu Zhenyang immediately shouted, and he saw a bloody dog head suddenly emerge from the fog behind Cao Mingjie.
"Click~!"
The earthy yellow halo immediately made a crisp sound, and then fell apart.
But fortunately, after a short delay and Yu Zhenyang's reminder, Cao Mingjie controlled the spiritual shield in time to stop him.
"Boom!"
The dog's head hit the shield, immediately knocking Cao Mingjie back three steps, including the man and the shield.
But it didn't feel well either, and it froze on the spot for a moment.
"Waterdrop Sword Qi!"
Ma Wenbo, who was closest, immediately took the opportunity to draw his sword and fight back. With a flick of the sword, Sword Light dropped down like a dragonfly touching water.
But what is unexpected is.
The dog's head froze on the spot, refusing to dodge, and actually blocked Sword Light with only the hair on its body.
"What!"
Ma Wenbo immediately opened his eyes wide and stared at the huge dog head in disbelief.
.
"Bang~!"
A group of ice crystals hit the dog's head, shattering on the spot and erupting into a large cloud of cold air.
This is a remote Law Technique specially trained by Yu Zhenyang.
Not only did he give a warning, but he also directly used Law Technique to ask for help.
It's just a little further away, so it's half a beat slower.
The overflowing cold air caused a layer of snow-white frost to form on the nearby ground.
However, as he expected, the situation of freezing the entire dog's head did not occur.
It even woke up the dog's head, causing it to immediately retract its head into the white mist.
"This..."
Yu Zhenyang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Are you kidding? This is definitely not the defensive capability Tier 3 Demon Beast should have.
There is something wrong with this ruins!
And the problem is serious!
You know, when the two of them took action, they showed no mercy.
I also use the Law Technique that I am most familiar with and most proficient in.
Apart from the desperate trump card, this is the maximum combat power that can be exerted under normal circumstances.
However, it couldn't hurt the weird dog head Demon Beast at all, and the gap between the two sides was obviously a bit big.
Judging from the sounds coming from all directions, there are at least dozens of Demon Beast here.
Now those Demon Beast were busy hunting down the casual cultivators, but a Demon Beast who couldn't judge the situation clearly bumped into them, leaving some breathing room.
But after the other monks can no longer withstand it, they may face the siege of many Demon Beast.
It will almost be a dead end at that point.
"Elder brother, what should I do?"
Cao Mingjie immediately turned pale when he thought of this possibility, "Why don't we exit first?"
Now it seems that this New Ruin is too dangerous and beyond their capabilities.
"No, it's too late."
Ma Wenbo shook his head. "It will take at least three quarters of an hour to get out from here."
"These beasts deliberately waited for us to go deep before attacking."
In fact, when the previous Demon Beast couldn't help but attack, they were already very deep. They didn't expect that there were so many Demon Beast waiting patiently in ambush.
"We rush forward to get out of this area. It's impossible for a ruin to be like this Narrow Path."
Ma Wenbo's eyes flashed. "As long as we can find a side hall, even a spacious open space, we can rely on the formation to defend."
"Ordinary Spell Power is not enough, we need to arrange a killing array to deal with the siege."
They did bring Portable Array Plate, but this array disk must be placed strictly according to the array diagram, so it cannot be used here with Narrow Path.
Both of them looked at Yu Zhenyang at this time, waiting for him to make a decision.
"We... we..."
Yu Zhenyang knows very well that time is precious now, and he must quickly determine the direction of the team's action.
But the matter was so important that he was so entangled in his heart that he really didn't know what to do for a moment.
From his perspective, making the wrong choice may lead to attrition or even destruction of the team.
So I had to be cautious. "Daoist Qiu, what do you think?"
Yu Zhenyang decided to refer to the opinions of those with the highest cultivation level.
"Um..."
Qiu Fanghui was also a little panicked at this time. After all, what he is best at is using puppets to bully the minority.
But he only has four puppets in total, and there are countless Demon Beasts in the vast white mist around him, so he cannot use his advantages at all.
"That..."
Qiu Fanghui frowned, turned around and asked, "Daoist Jinguang, what do you think?"
"Hey, where is Daoist Jinguang?"
When he asked, Ma Wenbo was stunned for a moment. "Wasn't it still in the middle before?"
I was just concentrating on thinking about the way to survive, but I really didn't notice this.
"It's over!"
Cao Mingjie immediately exclaimed, "Daoist Jinguang couldn't have been taken away."
Yu Zhenyang is a little confused, this possibility is actually unlikely.
But why did a living person suddenly disappear?
"Run?"
Suddenly a familiar voice came from not far away.
Then they saw a figure emerging from the fog in front of them, holding the familiar dog head in his hand.
Taking a closer look, it was Xiao Chen.
"Daoist Jinguang?"
Yu Zhenyang opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
Did that dog demon just die?
"Hey, why did I come around to the front?"
Xiao Chen was also a little surprised. "It's really hard to know the direction in this fog."
"Fortunately, I didn't remember the approximate location."
As he spoke, he dragged the body of the dog demon out.
Then he reached out and dug out a golden Demon Core from his stomach, which had a big hole.
Originally, Xiao Chen actually wanted to dig directly in the fog without thinking of bringing the dog demon back, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the fog.
Therefore, he finally chose to go back to the road to distinguish it, in case he accidentally dropped Demon Core on the ground and lost it.
"Sure enough, it's Mutated Demon Core or Earth Element Mutation. No wonder it's so solid."
Xiao Chen felt the active Earth Spiritual Power inside, and immediately understood the reason why the dog demon had rough skin and thick flesh before.
That misunderstanding is resolved, not all Demon Beast should have such strong defense capabilities.
"Daoist Jinguang, have you gone into the fog?"
Cao Mingjie looked stunned, as if he was looking at a humanoid Demon Beast.
"Yes."
Xiao Chen nodded. "This is a fog, not a poisonous fog. Can't we go in?"
"Ah?"
Cao Mingjie was suddenly startled.
Xiao Chen made so much sense that he was speechless.
"Daoist Jinguang, did you kill that dog demon directly?"
Ma Wenbo is still a little hard to accept. "How did you do it?"
"Do these Demon Beast have any special weaknesses?"
To be honest, everyone is Mid-stage Golden Core.
His Waterdrop Sword Qi has no effect at all on the dog demon, but how come Xiao Chen can directly kill the dog demon.
So Ma Wenbo immediately thought that the problem was with Demon Beast.
"I really don't know that."
Xiao Chen shook his head. "Maybe it has something to do with me being Body Cultivator."
It does have something to do with it, after all, Body Cultivator has a high explosive rate.
Silence, all four of them were silent.
Especially Yu Zhenyang's face was full of astonishment, suspecting that he was a fake Body Cultivator.
Qiu Fanghui was very quiet from beginning to end.
It's not because he can't express his emotions or anger, but because his mind is blank at this time.
From the beginning, he never cared about his colleague Xiao Chen.
After all, this person is so ignorant that he doesn't know how to curry favor with his senior who has a higher level of cultivation and is expected to impact Nascent Soul.
But now, Qiu Fanghui only feels happy with a hint of regret.
Fortunately, he had never offended Xiao Chen before, after all, the two of them had hardly even spoken to each other.
But it is a pity that this is why I was unable to make friends with such a powerful person Body Cultivator.
"Daoist Jinguang, do you think we, ahem, should we go forward or go back?"
Yu Zhenyang was mature after all, so he was the first to react and quickly asked for advice.
"There's nothing to hesitate about."
Xiao Chen replied decisively, "You're here, let's go in and see what's inside the ruins."
.
"Why are there so many Demon Beast?"
"You've been fooled, we've all been fooled!"
"There is no end in sight, so we shouldn't have chosen to move forward in the first place."
The desperate wailing sound filled the front end of Heaven Star Island.
A total of eighty-one Narrow Path, a battle broke out almost at the same time.
Demon Beast, who had enough cultivation level of Late-stage Golden Core, used the cover of the fog to hunt and kill the monks among them.
The winding trail was longer than anyone expected, much longer.
During this process, most of the monks suffered heavy casualties, and only a few major forces were able to maintain a steady advance.
However, in Article 76 Narrow Path, the situation is completely different.
Xiao Chen took the lead and was worried about why there was no Demon Beast around to look for him.
"Something's wrong, very wrong."
He looked back at Yu Zhenyang and others. "Do you feel that these Demon Beast seem to have orders?"
"We haven't encountered the new Demon Beast for a quarter of an hour."
"This is obviously unreasonable."
Hearing this, Qiu Fanghui was the first to agree, "Daoist Jinguang is right, I also think these Demon Beast have a leader commanding them."
But his words cannot be used as a reference at all.
Because starting from half an hour ago, no matter what Xiao Chen said, he would be the first to jump out and agree.
The main thing is to have a clear stance without any personal opinions.
Yu Zhenyang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
He has been silent for half an hour.
After witnessing Xiao Chen grabbing a Black-Spotted Colorful Conch, punching a big hole in it including the shell and flesh with his fist.
Yu Zhenyang hurriedly spent the first half of his life cultivating himself as a dog.
Cultivator of Magic may just be like Cao Mingjie, marveling at how the power of flesh and blood can penetrate a shell that is as strong as a spiritual shield.
And it can be worn twice in a row.
Precisely because Yu Zhenyang is also a Body Cultivator, I can feel more clearly how big the gap is between the two parties.
He couldn't figure it out. He was obviously practicing Heaven-Grade Body Forging Inheritance which he got from the ruins.
Why can the strength of the two people be completely different by two levels?
This comparison is as if what Xiao Chen cultivates is the real Heaven-Grade Technique, while Yu Zhenyang himself only cultivates Mysterious-grade techniques.
Ma Wenbo grinned.
I complained secretly in my heart, weren't they all scared away by you?
To be fair, Golden Core Demonic Beast are also psychic, and some even have wisdom that is not weaker than that of humans.
And even without Spiritual Intelligence, they are just a bunch of beasts.
Seeing that my companions were torn in half as soon as I raised my hand, and fourteen of them were killed in just two moments, I should have been scared a long time ago.
How can Demon Beast dare to come here knowing that he is going to die? There is no need for a leader at all, okay?
Because no Demon Beast came out to interfere.
Xiao Chen and his party can be said to have smooth flow.
After walking for nearly two hours, we finally arrived at the end of Narrow Path.
The fog dissipated in front, revealing the side halls and palaces, with Spirit Plant dotted in between.
Although it has not been taken care of for a long time and the Spirit Plant inside is a little messy, the growth range is limited by the flower bed itself, so overall it is still very good.
Looking from a distance, you can also see a wide avenue leading directly to Core Area on the left front.
Ma Wenbo secretly wiped a cold sweat.
He had previously thought that he could find a chance to survive by moving forward, but he never imagined that it would be so far away.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen is here, otherwise they would have entered Demon Beast's belly by now.
"Damn it, there are two White Jade Auspicious Cloud Mushrooms there!"
Cao Mingjie looked at the palace on the right and immediately exclaimed, "Third-Tier Spirit Medicine is actually used as decoration. There must be good things in this palace!"
Ma Wenbo was also overjoyed. "That's great, these two spirit medicine plants alone should be worth forty thousand Spirit Stone."
"It's a good thing we came early, otherwise there wouldn't be such a good thing."
Cao Mingjie excitedly pointed to another palace about ten miles away. "There are three Azure Sea Vine on the wall over there. I remember that one can sell for fifteen thousand Spirit Stone."
"I'll go over and pick it off first, and then I'll come back and crack the palace."
A few Spirit Herb strains alone would not actually make them so happy.
But when I think that there may be hundreds of Spirit Herb plants here, even Golden Core cultivator can't help but feel excited.
Except for Xiao Chen, after all, he has already seen more spirit medicine in the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm.
Unexpectedly, White Jade Auspicious Cloud Mushroom could be sold for 20,000 Spirit Stone. There are already a hundred flowers lying in his jade box.
As for Azure Sea Vine, there are a total of one hundred and sixty.
To be honest, the total number of Heaven Star Island and Spirit Herb may not be as much as his Storage Ring.
But this is not Spirit Herb Garden originally, so there is nothing to compare it to.
"It's such a complicated restriction. Is it like this?"
Qiu Fanghui is already standing at the entrance of the palace, trying to open Palace Gate.
However, the palace in front of me is blessed with three levels of restrictions, and each level has nine levels of changes.
"This is too strange. Is it necessary to set up so many restrictions in your own palace?"
Qiu Fanghui couldn't help complaining. "If you didn't know, you thought Demon Beast was locked up inside."
Of course this is absolutely impossible.
Demon Beast from the outside may still be able to thrive on the island, but even if there are Demon Beast locked up in the palace, they will die of old age if they have not starved to death after so many years.
Even if some Demon Beast Lifespan are long, they can even be ten times longer than Human Race monks.
But in the face of a time span of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, it is still not worth mentioning.
Yu Zhenyang has also been prepared for the possibility that there may be restrictions in the ruins that are difficult to lift.
He specially brought a set of Yin-Yang Separation Restriction Formation specifically to solve this problem.
Place the eight array disks in order according to the array diagram, and embed Spirit Stone to activate.
Yu Zhenyang points together to form a sword, guiding the true energy to invade the palace. "Yin and yang can be combined into two parts."
Another advantage of his formation is that the other Golden Core cultivator can also help.
And there is no need to understand the formation knowledge. As long as you inject your own true essence into the formation, you can speed up the cracking speed under the guidance of the formation.
The situation that Xiao Chen saw outside the Yellow Springs Palace before was based on a similar principle.
The only difference is that Southern Domain does not have Portable Array Plate, so at least one person must really understand the formation to arrange the formation.
However, even with the help of Yin-Yang Separation Restriction Formation, it took half an hour to break the palace ban.
"Finally done."
Yu Zhenyang put away the array plate, walked to the door but stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Daoist Jinguang, please go first!"
Xiao Chen didn't show any pretense to him and took the lead in walking in.
However, surprisingly, the huge palace was very empty.
Of course, not to mention that there is nothing inside, there are all kinds of bottles, cans, and screens Hanging Painting, and the quality is not low.
But there are no spiritual objects that can be used for cultivation.
There is no serious Spirit Artifact that can be used in combat.
In the innermost master bedroom, there is a square table.
There is a Spirit Artifact-level tray in the center of the square table, with a round orb placed on it.
"What is this?"
Xiao Chen picked up the orb and inspected it.
It's neither Spirit Artifact nor Spirit Pearl, so I can't see what it does.
