Li Jie rolled his eyes. The cave was too narrow and he felt a little uncomfortable. He arched from left to right and looked away in embarrassment. He muttered in a low voice: "When are you still kidding? What should we do now? We can't retreat even if we advance." No, we can’t stay stuck here forever.”
There is no way to go but the lava ahead.
Li Yang thought for a while, then tentatively touched the lava with the invisible gauze transformed from the tortoise shell. He made a squeaking sound. The sound was a little quieter than before, but the smell in the air...
Li Jie took a deep breath and rubbed his belly: "It smells so good."
Li Yang also rubbed his belly: "..."
Indeed, the air was filled with the aroma of grilled tortoise, more fragrant than any meat she had ever eaten.
At that moment, Li Yang even understood Lou Qi, why is your senior brother so obsessed with grilled tortoise? It's so delicious...
Although the bastard shell of the Xuanwu tribe can play some role here, the road ahead is long. If she really relies on the bastard shell to get through, I'm afraid her little shell will be overcooked.
"What should I do?" Jian Jin nervously grabbed Yuxiao's clothes and asked backwards.
Li Yang smiled: "If you can't make it, then let's go. We can't all die here."
She simply said, "Why don't you guys in front of you lean aside, and I'll go over and grill you some kebabs to lighten the mood?"
The Jian sisters clung to the wall obediently, but Li Yang still couldn't pass through this narrow passage.
She simply took out the cooked meat skewers in the space and gave them a few skewers. Several of them leaned against the wall in the same posture and began to skewer the meat on the spot.
There is a wall in front and behind it, with lava on the left and the only way out on the right, but after exiting, you will encounter a demon cultivator.
Jian Miao ate the skewers with big mouthfuls, her eyes filled with tears: "Can I eat more? It feels like this is the last meal."
Li Yang generously gave her another 10 skewers, feeling a little distressed: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Remember to pay when you go out. This is all what I worked hard for."
Li Jie's mouth was full of oil after eating, and he stretched out his hand to ask for it again. His eyes lit up subconsciously: "I finally understand why you want to cook by yourself. It tastes so good..."
If someone compliments Li Yang on how good he is with a sword, then Li Yang will thank him. But if someone compliments Li Yang on his delicious cooking, then she will not only thank him, but also happily share it with him.
A few people suddenly had a common topic in the narrow space.
The meat skewers in Yuxiao's hand remained untouched, and her eyes stared curiously at Li Yang: "You don't seem to be afraid at all."
Li Yang smiled and said, "There's no point in being afraid. We're all here. Don't worry. Wait until I'm full. I'm a Binglinggen."
Whether it's Li Yang's ice spirit roots or Yu Xiao's water spirit roots, they won't be too panicked when encountering flames.
Ice Spirit Roots are more defensive than Water Spirit Roots.
But if she wanted to pass such a long path of lava, she had to prepare in advance and reserve enough spiritual power. Otherwise, if her spiritual power ran out halfway, they would really turn into meat skewers.
Li Yang held a piece of meat in his mouth and began to rummage through the space, finding several bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills.
She handed two bottles to Yuxiao and kept three bottles for herself: "When my spiritual power is not enough, you can find a way to help me prevent it."
Yuxiao nodded: "Okay."
Then he added: "I didn't bring many spirit stones. When I return to Yueying Sect, I will replenish you with the money for the spirit gathering pills."
"Come on, I'll give you a 50% discount, and I'll just make the cost price." Li Yang likes to deal with such sensible people.
She asked the Jian sisters: "Can you make a defensive formation here?"
When performing the formation, the arms must move and the movements must be fast. If the formation slows down, the unformed formation may easily disappear or explode. From this aspect, talisman repair is still a very dangerous industry.
The space was too small, so the Jian sisters stretched out their arms to make gestures.
Jian Miao nodded: "I think I can."
Jian Jin did the same, but after hesitating, she added: "However, the defensive formation can only protect us for a few breaths when encountering such a lava path."
"Enough is enough."
Li Yang took out the speed talisman and gave each of them a little, then put his finger on the wall and started to arrange his troops.
"Everyone put on the speed charm and run, don't fall behind."
She analyzed: "After Jian Jin and Miaomiao entered, they ran and formed a formation. Don't put too much pressure on them. It doesn't matter whether they succeed or not. If it doesn't work, we should use all the defenses we can. As long as we can hold on for long enough, we can run." If you are fast enough, you can run over, but if you can't get through..."
Li Yang pretended to be relaxed: "Then we can only go to heaven together~"
"To heaven?" Jian Miao simply blinked: "How to go to heaven? You shouldn't be able to wield a sword in such a short passage, right?"
Li Yang smiled and replied: "My soul goes to heaven."
Jian Miao: "..."
She arranged the formation: "Li Jie and Li He will go first, then Jian Jin and Miaomiao, and Yuxiao and I will go last."
As a result, their current position requires a big adjustment.
Li He frowned: "Why?"
She pretended to be relaxed: "You guys just stay in front and block the damage."
In fact, this is not the case. These two people are both wind spirit roots. They are the fastest and have the best chance of getting out.
Whether one or two, if they can pass smoothly, her talk will not be in vain.
Yuxiao understood what she meant first, pursed her lips, and reminded: "You only have one ice spirit root, and you cannot protect everyone."
Li Yang smiled mysteriously: "Who said I am the only one with ice spirit roots?"
Among them, there is another ice spirit root.
Yuxiao was confused for a moment, and several people looked at each other, wondering who Li Yang was talking about.
But then, they saw it.
The few people dilly-dallyed for a while and finally changed positions.
Li Yang held his hand on the wall and suddenly became serious: "I'm about to start. Everyone, put up the speed talisman. Don't hesitate to look back or stop. If anything happens, let's get through here. We only have this one chance."
Everyone who said a few words was excited.
The blue spiritual power spread from the girl's fingertips, and the frost quickly rushed from the stone wall to the lava in front. After a long sizzling sound, the front turned into an invisible mist.
Only Li He, who was at the front, could see clearly that there was a layer of ice left outside the molten wall, which was melting rapidly.
Li Yang quickly shouted: "Run!"
Li He rushed forward without hesitation, stepped on the wind spirit root, and moved very quickly.
The front was a straight line, with no obstacles except the lava, and several people moved forward in an orderly manner.
In fact, it was not as complicated as Li Yang prepared. There was only one time on their way when the supply of spiritual power was insufficient, and the ice broke.
Yuxiao drew her sword with sharp eyes and quick hands, and the water-attributed spiritual sword sprang out like a spiritual snake, temporarily blocking the incoming flames for the people next to her.
Qiuqiu walked in front of Li Yang. A small group came here, quickly curled up into a ball, and released the power of frost that was slightly weaker than Li Yang.
The second ice spirit root is on its body.
Li He passed, Li Jie passed, and the Jian sisters, Yu Xiao, all passed smoothly.
Li Yang happily kicked Qiuqiu and pushed the round dumpling into the other side of the lava road. Jian Miao quickly took it into her arms with quick eyes and hands.
Li Yang also came over smoothly.
The moment he passed, the ice behind him completely melted. Under the white mist, the road ahead was not visible, and only countless chickens could be heard crowing at the door.
Li Yang's spiritual power was excessively exhausted and he was a little overwhelmed. His face was as pale as a zombie jumping out of a grave. After breathing for a while, he reminded: "The demon cultivator has discovered this place, we have to hurry up."
The screaming chickens she painted at the door will scream when the cave is opened again.
Li Jie was completely shocked: "No, Li Yang, did you draw so many chickens just to remind us?"
That's really unnecessary. If they make such a big noise and the demons don't notice, wouldn't they be fools?
Li Yang raised his eyebrows: "Of course not."
A group of demon cultivators stepped into the cave entrance. The moment they saw the path clearly, all the chickens on the stone wall appeared and started clucking around them.
The leading demon cultivator became agitated and drew his sword and chopped off the head of a chicken.
However, the moment the sword blade touched, the chicken transformed into spiritual power and wrapped around his sword body.
"boom"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."
After a loud bang, a series of crackling sounds came out.
The fog in front of them dispersed, and they all looked at Li Yang.
Li Yang explained slowly: "I learned an explosive talisman from my senior brother, and then combined it with the painting I drew. Unfortunately, it is not very powerful."
Several people:"……"
The power was indeed not great, but the chickens couldn't bear the large number. After a continuous explosion, other chickens were implicated, and the cave behind collapsed into a big hole.
Li Jie couldn't help but praise her: "Talent."
Li Yang was extremely humble and extended his hand to refuse: "No..."
Her: "I am a genius."
"..."
Seeing that the two new junior brothers were silent at the same time, a rare smile appeared on Yu Xiao's cold face: "Okay, let's continue walking."
After the lava, there was a long road ahead, with no end in sight, but it was much wider than before, and they could walk side by side.
Li Yang: "Wait a minute."
The girl took out the rune pen and started jumping up and down like a monkey, and began to draw all kinds of strange things on the wall.
Jian Jin held her little face in her hands and praised: "I have been studying rune cultivation for so many years, but I have never seen anyone who can draw with a rune pen."
She asked: "Li Yang, can I join you?"
Li Yang nodded: "You should add some attack runes to these paintings. If those demon cultivators want to come over, they will have to pay a price."
So, one person painting turned into three people painting.
The three little girls were jumping up and down together, but the other three couldn't join in if they wanted to.
Li Yang was afraid that they would be too boring, so he thought of a way.
"Yu Xiao, please block the lava road and let them roast more on the road."
Yu Xiao said nothing, but Li Jie clapped his hands: "What a great idea."
The young man quickly punched the stone wall, knocking down many rocks and making Li Yang's head buzz.
She held her head and said: "Don't you have any black stones? Use them to block it. How long can these ordinary stones be used to block it?"
Sword cultivators usually carry some black stones in their mustard bags. This kind of hard black stone from the cultivation world is not expensive and is their main material for mending and repairing swords.
Li Jie blinked and took out a small mountain-high black stone from the mustard bag.
Li Yang was shocked and said: "No, brother, your family sells stones?"
She thought they had black stones, but she didn't expect they had so many.
Li Jie's black stone alone is enough to block this road.
Li Yang even made a silly suggestion: "Hide a few explosive symbols in the middle of the stone later, and then you can build a defensive array outside the stone."
Let those demonic cultivators break the formation first and then explode.
Jian Jin couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Okay."
After a brief assignment of tasks, several people began to work on their own. After burning incense, Li Yang patted the dirt on his body and made a superhuman take-off gesture.
"Go, go, keep moving forward."
Li Jie asked: "It's just such a road, do we need to put some traps or something on the road?"
Li Yang praised: "You have already learned it."
The young man blushed slightly, as if he understood instantly.
Righteous monks often disdain to use these small means. They have never done such a thing before. The most they can do is spend more money during the competition, bully the few when there are more people, the kind of upright kind, and in the end they are beaten by the few. Bullied.
But since he followed Li Yang, Li He and Li Jie suddenly felt that life suddenly became brighter.
All those naughty operations that would be scolded by the master and elders are feasible here in Li Yang.
When facing shameless enemies, you must first show them your shamelessness.
On the way, Li Yang kept looking for things from the space, various small toys, and led them to dig holes and bury them in the soil to set traps.
They didn't encounter any danger, but the demon cultivators behind them were in dire straits.
First, he passed through a magma that could roast people. He was blocked when he passed by, and it took a lot of effort to move the black stone. As a result, after finally moving it away, before he could get out, he touched the explosive talisman again, and exploded. There were several sounds, and the cave seemed to be collapsing, and the road ahead was blocked again.
The angry leading demon cultivator stamped his feet repeatedly: "Damn it..."
"They are so shameless."
When passing through the lava road, they actually lost two demon cultivators, leaving only six people.
The leading demon cultivator seemed to have noticed something. As he walked, he ordered behind him: "You should be careful. I feel that these people have many dirty tricks."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he stepped into a big pit. After he fell in perfectly, his feet were tied with ropes and touched the mechanism. He hung upside down above the cave and stepped on the explosive charm on his feet. It exploded again.
Mo Xiu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
After a while, he cursed: "Shameless villain, despicable, and capable of fighting openly and honestly..."
A demon cultivator said the words "honest and upright", which shows that the person who was bullied by Li Yang and the others was already unconscious.
Li Yang sneezed in front and stuffed the meat buns into his mouth expressionlessly.
After passing a long road, they entered the next test.
