The leaders of the nine major forces reacted instantly. Facing the charging black creature, they quickly protected the tribulation-transcending monk behind them to resist the opponent's attack.
These black creatures are about the size of humanoids and basically have the Mahayana stage of cultivation. Some of them have extremely strong attacks, some have high defenses, and some are extremely fast. Each black shadow specializes in different directions.
Generally speaking, monks in the middle stage of Mahayana are still at a disadvantage, but in the early stage of Mahayana, they are suppressed to death, and in less than a moment they are in danger. Especially the monks of the four major alliances, their cultivation level is generally low. Just during the tea time, several monks in the Tribulation Stage died under the shadow.
Zhao Shiyan's expression changed. It was the first wave of attacks. The people of the four major alliances could not resist it. It was unknown how many people would die in the future. He didn't want the four major alliances to suffer too many casualties, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone, please give them a helping hand!"
King Jiao immediately responded and summoned the Mahayana monks from Piao Miao Xue Sect, Dugu Family, and Duanmu Family to form a defensive circle to protect those monks from the Tribulation Period behind him. But this is not a long-term solution after all. Those black images are illusory. Weapons and spells have no effect at all and are difficult to kill.
Cheng Ling didn't have so much trouble here. The people he brought here were all Mahayana monks. Even if one person couldn't resist the enemy, if several people worked together to form a formation, even if they couldn't kill those black shadows, they could still protect themselves.
He was also very curious about what kind of creatures these were. Just like the blood demons he saw in the Demon Blood Continent, they were difficult to kill. He first tried to attack the heart of the black shadow. He dodged the black shadow's attack and came to its side. The dragon feather sword penetrated the opponent's chest like lightning.
The black figure was shattered by the sharp sword energy. Unfortunately, within a moment, it seemed to have absorbed the gray mist in the air, completely condensed it out, and continued to attack Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling frowned. Since the heart is not good, there must be other weaknesses. Does it need to consume the opponent's energy? Thinking of this, the speed of the sword increased sharply, and in an instant the black shadow was hit by several swords, almost turning into a human shape. But not long after, the complete body slowly condensed.
He was immediately dumbfounded. How could he be killed? The black shadows gradually gathered one by one, and the number increased rapidly. In less than a moment, three black shadows surrounded him. With a sweep of Long Ling's sword, two black figures were cut in half. The last black figure had just rushed forward. Before he could stand up straight, Cheng Ling's long sword was so fast that his entire head was cut off in an instant.
The black head soared into the sky. Under the head, the black shadow gradually dissipated and finally disappeared.
Cheng Ling was overjoyed. It turns out that the head is the weak point of the shadow! He hurriedly shouted: "Everyone thinks of a way to cut off the head. Only in this way can we kill the black shadow."
The monks suddenly came to their senses. Now, each of them had a target, especially those monks who had achieved Mahayana perfection. They chopped off their heads cleanly. In less than a stick of incense, hundreds of black figures were killed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look around. Dozens of corpses were lying scattered on the ground. They were all monks from the four major alliances. The major forces had not suffered any losses during the tribulation period.
King Jiao glanced at them and said: "Fellow Taoists from the Four Alliances must advance slowly inside, don't stand out!" Now, we must find a way to ensure the safety of these monks. I don't know when they will play a key role.
Zhao Shiyan glanced at Cheng Ling with admiration. With so many Mahayana perfections, he was the only one who discovered the flaw in the black shadow, and his observation was really careful.
After a period of killing, the black shadows were temporarily eliminated. Lu Jiansheng looked up at the gray sky and said calmly: "Let's go! Everyone be careful. If you are unable to do so, you don't have to go deeper."
These words were obviously addressed to the monks from the four major alliances, but after hesitating for a moment, those people followed him resolutely. Wealth and silk touch people's hearts. As the most mysterious Palace of Inanimate Relics in Canglan Continent, there is no way it is willing to leave easily.
Zhao Shiyan turned to look at Cheng Ling and said enthusiastically: "Sect Master Cheng, you are proficient in formations. I wonder if you can open a path with me?"
Cheng Ling smiled calmly and said, "As Alliance Leader Li is helping us at the front, we should also take care of the rear!" I made it clear that I don't want to get in the way between them. Since you trust Li Guanglin, don't be half-hearted and want me to do free labor. It's a dream.
Zhao Shiyan smiled bitterly, said no more, and continued walking forward with Li Guanglin.
After everyone walked for a while, the environment in front of them changed again. The ground was getting hotter and hotter. From time to time, wide cracks appeared, and there were many red substances.
Feng Feifei glanced at the red material, her expression changed, and she said, "These are magma, and the temperature ahead will definitely be higher!"
When everyone heard it, magma? So what's so scary, even higher temperatures? They didn't care and continued walking in the direction of the heat.
After walking for about an hour, the temperature in the air was getting higher and higher. The ground had turned dark gray, and there were more and more areas where magma flowed through the cracks. Bubbles appeared one by one, which made people feel frightened.
After walking for a while, the temperature in the air rose again. Many monks couldn't bear it and began to sweat. The sweat dripped from their bodies and was evaporated by the scorching heat in the air before it could fall to the ground. Later, as soon as beads of sweat appeared, a puff of white smoke would instantly appear and disappear into the air.
The monks from the four major alliances walking in the middle could no longer bear the high temperature. The monks from the Dan Alliance immediately took out pills from their rings and swallowed them in their mouths; There was a hint of coolness in the air; the Weapon Union took out a treasure and put it on his body to resist the high temperature; the monks from the Formation Union took continuous shots on his body, placing restrictions one after another, and he suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Cheng Ling's eyes were filled with surprise. He didn't expect that the Four Alliances of the Alchemy and Talisman Array really had some tricks up their sleeves. It was so hot here that even they had to use their energy to resist it, but they were able to hold on with the help of external objects.
As everyone continued to move forward, the magma network on the ground became denser and denser, almost all connected together. Suddenly, the magma began to flow and gather, and soon a fiery red magma monster about ten feet high appeared.
Cheng Ling's consciousness swept away, and he saw that the aura of the magma monster was very strong, and he must have the ability to overcome the tribulation and perfect it. Dugu Feng sneered and was about to take action. Unexpectedly, the leader of the Fu Alliance, Bao Buju, took a step forward and said calmly: "Master Dugu, leave this magma monster to us!"
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, more than a hundred monks behind him took out talismans and threw them towards the magma monster.
"Boom~!"
Talismans were flying all over the sky, sparks were flying, and a large cloud of smoke and dust was raised. A moment later, when the smoke cleared, Cheng Ling stared ahead with wide eyes. His mouth opened wide for a moment, and he was speechless for a long time. Today, I am just a magma monster that has successfully passed through the tribulation. I throw out hundreds of them at once, but what about you?
Where the magma monster appeared in front, there was still a trace of shadow, and even the ground was blown out.
A deep pit.
Bao Buju raised his head and glanced at the big bosses with indescribable pride.
Liu Qingyan suppressed her laughter and said softly: "Cheng Ling, I saw they threw out more than five hundred talismans just now, right? They are all seventh-grade ones. Are all the people in the Talisman League so rich?"
Cheng Ling was speechless and said with a wry smile: "If you are rich, you are so poor that all you have left is money."
"Pfft!"
Liu Qingyan couldn't bear it any longer and laughed softly. Jian Yinghao and others behind him also smiled.
However, Cheng Ling still underestimated the financial resources of the four major alliances. Continuing forward for a while, another magma monster appeared. Because it goes deeper, there is more magma on the ground, and the level of the magma monster that appears is also higher, enough to reach the early stage of Mahayana.
Before Bao Buju could take action, Huang Shiren, the leader of the Qi Alliance, said first: "Leader Bao, please give up this time to the Qi Alliance!"
After saying that, without waiting for Bao Buju to object, he immediately rushed to him and touched the storage ring. Good guy, top-quality armor, top-quality gauntlets, top-quality leggings, top-quality helmet, top-quality boots, plus two big hammers in both hands, look at that precious light, it is definitely top-grade.
Cheng Ling seemed to hear a voice ringing in his ears: The power of martial arts, the transformation of Pig Man!
Huang Shiren, who was equipped with a full set of top-notch equipment, raised two big hammers and rushed towards the magma monster. No matter how much the magma monster's attack hit him, it had no impact at all. He was an absolute tough guy and hit the opponent with a sledgehammer with both hands. In less than a moment, the magma monster was smashed to pieces!
After he was done, he glanced at the big bosses proudly and said calmly: "Those black figures just now were so cunning that they launched a surprise attack. We, the Weapon Alliance, will never give up!"
It means that the people of the Qi Alliance just missed and were panicked by the black shadows that suddenly rushed out. If they all transform, how can those black shadows be our opponents!
Cheng Ling swallowed and asked Wu Changyuan next to him with difficulty: "Elder Wu, are all the people in the Weapon Alliance so flamboyant?"
Wu Changyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, then lowered his voice and said, "My friend, I'm surprised. Leader Huang is looking for face. Since they are willing to take action, we can save some energy, right?"
"How many spiritual stones does his top-notch equipment cost?"
"Hmm... I don't know, I guess it's not cheap!"
Cheng Ling cursed secretly, "Bah, isn't it cheap?" As a novice, it would cost nearly a billion of high-grade spiritual stones to refine a complete set of purple dragon armor. Look at the equipment on Huang Shiren. It would be impossible to make it even if it cost hundreds of millions.
The price of the best treasures is not cheap, especially small items such as hand guards, leg guards, helmets, boots, etc. Each item costs a lot of materials, and the workmanship is more fine, which means more materials are wasted, and the price is even higher. Too high.
To put it in layman's terms, the spiritual stones required for a pair of top-grade boots of the same quality can almost buy two top-grade swords!
Huang Shiren regained his dignity, and everyone continued to move forward. Soon another magma monster appeared. This time, the level of the magma monster was upgraded to the middle stage of Mahayana.
Cheng Ling was thinking that it was time for the big guys to take action! Unexpectedly, before he finished his thoughts, Li Guanglin stood up again and said calmly: "This time, I will show you the methods of the alliance."
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, dozens of monks behind him took action, throwing out hundreds of array disks in an instant, and shouted in unison: "Explode!"
