The second day, Tianyou Palace
Qin Mingyue was dressed in a dark red tight-fitting samurai uniform, sitting quietly in front of Linlang's dressing table. She had just taken a bath and was making preparations for departure under the service of her personal maid.
Her gourd-like delicate body was tightly wrapped in powerful clothing, and every arc from top to bottom was just right. The long black hair is simply tied behind the head with a piece of red silk. It looks a bit messy, but has a lazy and free beauty.
Hostas, wristbands, rings, earrings... each of these small and exquisite high-end magical instruments embellishes the woman's appearance, making her appear graceful and graceful, making her look even more heroic.
A string of jade beads was pulled out and put on the woman's wrist.
"Miss," the maid behind her gently reminded: "The texture of the magic-suppressing jade is soft. If there is a fierce fight in the ancestral land and one accidentally damages it, wouldn't it hurt Sister Yugui?"
Qin Mingyue pondered for a moment and said firmly: "I promised to take it with me yesterday, how could I just go back on my word? Don't worry! If I can't even see the string of beads on my hand, why should I participate in the test!"
…
The palace door opens.
Ju Mu Qi Gou had already been waiting outside with two of his men. When he saw the eldest princess coming out, after a few words of greeting, the group of seven people walked up the mountain.
Along the way, the high priest had nothing to say. Sometimes he introduced the scenery along the way to Qin Mingyue, and sometimes he talked about how the Qin family's children had participated in the test in the past. This kind of test usually only happens to one person every few decades. In fact, he has only met three people during these years. The earlier stories were all relayed from the people of his predecessors, and it is unknown how true they are.
Qin Mingyue listened absently and said nothing the whole time.
The mountain road gradually became more and more rugged. At first it was a stone road covered with moss, but gradually there was only a path overgrown with weeds, and a white line in the middle could be vaguely seen. After that, there was no road at all. Led by Ju Mu Qi Gou, several people walked through the woods, crossed ravines, and climbed cliffs. After half an hour, they finally reached the finish line.
Among the tall trees on the mountain, a small Taoist temple sits quietly among the shadows of the trees.
The Taoist temple is built on stone, dug and built, and is embedded deep into the mountain. Only the thick and mottled red paint door and a section of dilapidated door wall show some traces of the outside. Since it was almost summer, the surroundings were full of grass, trees, and bushes, making this Taoist temple, which was not easy to find, even more invisible.
Qin Mingyue gave a slight signal, and the two maids immediately took action, taking out the incense table, sacrifices, incense candles and other items from the storage bags, and placed them neatly three feet in front of the door. He took out another futon and placed it in front of the incense table.
As the incense curled up, Qin Mingyue knelt down in front of the futon with a solemn face. She waited until the incense candle burned out, then bowed her head three times and stood up.
Ju Mu Qi Gou looked solemn and kept mumbling a congratulatory message that no one could hear clearly.
"This junior has been sent here. I wish His Highness a smooth trip and success." He said goodbye with his right hand on his chest.
Qin Mingyue nodded, thanked him, and turned to the three accompanying people: "You can go back too. After the test of the ancestral land is over, I will randomly teleport to a place in Hengji Mountain. You don't need to wait here."
The middle-aged woman and two maids bowed and bowed, then left with Ju Mu Qi Gou and others.
The woods and grass are secluded, and the surrounding area is even more desolate.
Qin Mingyue looked determined, her beautiful eyes looking directly at the blurry and difficult-to-read plaque on the door eaves.
She took out a crimson long sword and flicked the tip of the sword casually with her wrist, blowing out a gust of sword wind and blowing away the dust on the branches on the huge plaque, revealing a dark red relief painting.
It was a giant dragon, with its head held high and its belly drawn back, its front paws hitting the waves, and it looked majestic. The dragon's head has a ferocious face, its eyes wide open and its jaw open, as if it wants to choose someone to devour.
But the strange thing is that there is a hole as big as a pigeon egg in the open mouth of the dragon, and it is pitch black and no one knows how deep it is.
Qin Mingyue's face was calm, and she waved a few spells with her jade hand. Her fingertips trembled slightly, and a drop of bright red blood appeared in front of her.
Immediately, under the control of divine consciousness, the blood beads slowly floated towards the hole and quickly disappeared.
After half a cup of tea, a wisp of green smoke came out of the dragon's mouth, and the closed wooden door creaked open to both sides, revealing a long corridor leading to an unknown direction.
Qin Mingyue let out a breath, held a long sword, and stepped in with her head held high.
After she entered and took a few breaths, the wooden door closed with a bang, and she instantly lost contact with the outside world.
The relief that she had swept clean with the wind of her sword became dusty and overgrown again.
…
Qin Mingyue was already in a large hall.
According to the senior's description, there are three levels of training in this secret place. After passing each level, you can rest as you wish, or return to previous levels, but you cannot follow the path back to the outside world.
Only if you pass all three levels will you be teleported out by the teleportation array in the secret area.
Therefore, if you are stuck at a certain level and cannot pass it, it is not impossible to die in the battle.
Of course, you can also wait for the latecomers to save you, but such people may not be able to wait for three to five years. You must know that the disciples who have passed the test cannot go to this secret place again.
The main hall that Qin Mingyue entered now was the first level.
The five-headed puppet giant stood majestically in front of her, each possessing one of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The strength of each one is about the same as that of Qin Mingyue, which is about the second level of the golden elixir.
If that were all, it wouldn't be much of a problem. After all, the puppets do not have the wisdom of human monks, nor do they have the endless means and magical weapons at their disposal. If they are broken apart, the level can be cleared in less than half an hour.
However, when they form a small five-element formation and their overall strength is close to that of the late Golden Core, the situation becomes difficult to deal with.
What’s even more interesting is that these five puppets will also respond differently based on the strength of the challenger. For example, if you are a monk with strong attack power, you will use the earth giant as the fulcrum of the formation, relying on its rough skin and thick flesh to withstand beatings to consume the opponent's energy.
If faced with a monk who is good at defense, the metal giant will become the arrow of the formation, and will continuously use golden blades with excellent defense-breaking effects to completely shatter the opponent's defense.
…
Many thoughts flashed through Qin Mingyue's mind.
She scolded lightly, moved lightly, and a murderous aura burst out from the long sword, rushing towards the golden giant located behind!
The golden giant did not dodge. When the other four puppets stood behind him, the golden giant swung his golden palm suddenly towards the long sword that was thrust towards him.
Qin Mingyue twisted her delicate body and took several steps back.
Seeing how easily he repelled the opponent's attack, the golden giant grinned on his dull face, waved his palms, and countless golden blades shot out like stars.
Qin Mingyue held out a golden shield and allowed the golden light to collide with it, making a permeating friction sound and large swaths of golden shavings scattering.
As soon as they met, she seemed to be completely at a disadvantage!
However, this is exactly her purpose!
As long as she persists for a quarter of an hour, after the Five Elements Puppet feels no other threats, this formation will be completely fixed. At that time, it will be her time to fight back!
Qin Mingyue's steps were exquisite. Although those golden lights were overwhelming and airtight, they were actually in different positions. The attacks were strong and weak. The lethality of the weakest point was almost different from that of the second level of the golden elixir, which was good for her to deal with it calmly.
After a quarter of an hour, a red light glowed on the golden giant, and then it wandered around the other four puppets, and finally disappeared.
The power of the golden light emitted by the golden giant suddenly increased by 30%!
However, as the saying goes, the way of nature is that the moon waxes and wanes, and the grass withers and grows. After the attack power of the Small Five Elements Formation was enhanced, its defense was also significantly reduced by 30%.
This is the opportunity that Qin Mingyue has been looking forward to for a long time, to avoid the real and attack the weak, and to defeat each other!
…
A quarter of an hour later, the earth giant collapsed to the ground and turned into a puddle of mud.
Under the continuous attack of Qin Mingyue's sword light, the earth giant was like a potato growing in the ground, with its skin peeled off layer by layer. In the end, the small pieces added up to a large amount, and he was finally killed on the spot.
Qin Mingyue was overjoyed. Once the Small Five Elements Formation was broken, her attack would be overwhelming and victory was close at hand!
The next two targets are the wooden giants.
The Wood Giant's defense is not as good as that of the Earth Giant, but its ability to recover and regenerate is far better than the latter's. This is why Qin Mingyue listed it as a secondary target.
The woman gave a sweet shout, and her unrivaled powerful sword flew out, turning into a stream of light that swirled around the wooden giant, quickly cutting off a large piece of wood bark.
At the same time, she had been hiding the unused Qing Yan, and at this time, she followed the sword intention and rushed into the wooden giant, and a green flame burned instantly.
In half a quarter of an hour at most, this wooden puppet will be wiped out in ashes, Qin Mingyue thought to herself.
At this moment, her heart trembled, the hairs all over her body stood on end, and a strong killing intent came from her lower back!
"How is that possible?" Qin Mingyue turned around in shock, only to see that the earth giant that had been scattered all over the ground was now intact, with a hideous face, and its fist was like a sharp stone pillar, and it hit her hard!
PS: I got infected, I have a low-grade fever, and my whole body is sore. I reluctantly finished one chapter. Maybe there will be no updates for two days later.
