【7-12】
【Sea of Tears】
Following the white chess pieces on the golden chessboard in the night sky, Yun Hao raised his head and stared at the boundless sky. He did not look away until the stars reappeared in the sky.
"The last step of the formation has been brought back to the camp, and as we are stationed at 7-12, the penultimate step is actually the last step to conquer the secret realm."
"But our position is the dragon-slaying position, and it is impossible for any cultivator to come in and notify us."
As soon as Yun Hao, who had deep eyes, finished speaking, the boy next to him threw his sword box in front of him and pulled the trigger. The two sides of the sword box unfolded like folding fans, and the sword bones were made up of a handle. A shining sword.
"In that case, shall we start the strategy directly?"
Before the difficulty of the Secret Realm guide was increased, the 7-12 realms were full of obstacles. Now there are two C-level cultivators stationed there.
But looking at the turbulent sea of blood in front of him, even a young man who is a C(+)-level aptitude awakener cannot guarantee whether he can successfully conquer it.
He slowly took out a sword, and with the blessing of his ability, the air around the blade seemed to be scratched with cracks. (Volume 4, Chapter 141)
However, when the young man took a step forward with his sword, he was stopped by Yun Hao, who had been silent for a long time.
"You go and refine the formation eyes, and I'll stop them."
"You?" The young man frowned, then shook his head with a smile and said, "You have never defeated me in school."
"And we are both in the C(+) realm. After refining that formation eye, it is possible to break through to the B-level realm."
"Besides, at this time, you still want to maintain your character?"
"I'm not Huang Ping'an, the 250-year-old who obeys your words and is full of brains and muscles."
Yun Hao, who was standing in front, did not explain, but took out his books and silently walked towards the turbulent sea of tears. Then the feathers on the brim of his hat were full of scorch marks. Under the influence of the spiritual power swaying out layer by layer, he exuded an extremely strange sound. Charming blue luster.
"Hey, I know you are resentful because you didn't get into the top three classes, and I did take part of the responsibility..." The boy who was halfway through speaking suddenly noticed something, and when he looked up, he saw The night sky was dyed dark green with cumulus clouds, and there was a dark hole in the cumulus clouds.
The boy's face suddenly twitched, "B-level realm...when did you break through, why didn't I know?!"
"Before entering the secret realm, I broke through to the B-level realm." Yun Hao said, the book in his hand was burned crazily by the blue flames, and the ashes of the pages were scattered into the dark green accumulation. In the clouds, the cumulus clouds seemed to be burning.
"Then why do you want me to refine the formation eyes!" The young man immediately cursed, "You are in the B-level realm and can refine the formation eyes much faster than me. I will use my life to block you. After you finish refining, You can even escape unscathed!"
"Well, if I refine the formation eye, I will definitely be able to live, but you will definitely die." Yun Hao's dull expression did not change at all, but as his spiritual power surged, there seemed to be waves in the dark hole. There were bursts of rumbling sounds, and then, meteorites burning with green flames fell from the sky, and before falling to the earth, they exploded, wielding stone fists weighing hundreds of tons, and smashed into the scarlet sea of tears. 'superior.
"Am I afraid of death?!" The young man still stared at Yun Hao, "Before I entered the secret realm, I was completely dead and evil. I don't know what the effect of the realm I entered was. After I woke up, I All the kidney stones are gone.”
Yun Hao shook his head again and continued: "But if I stop them and you refine the formation eyes, then both of us may survive."
"But there's a chance they'll all die!"
The whole world was boiling under the impact of the meteorite, but when they roared and wanted to board the only shore, a blue giant sword suddenly poked at the canine-like coastline, cutting them off and blocking them.
This giant sword did not appear alone, but a taller and more terrifying ghost knight with a skeleton covered in armor was guarding here. In the eyes of the young man, he didn't know which side was more penetrating.
There are dozens of ghost knights like this, and they surround the entire island like an impenetrable wall.
"I don't care if you are afraid of death or not," Yun Hao, who had the books burned in his hands, slowly turned around, "and my level is higher than yours, so I am your captain. You must obey my command, and I have an obligation." , to protect the safety of our team members.”
"You really still hold grudges!" The young man cursed again and immediately rushed towards the 'anchor' formation.
The total dispute just now lasted no more than five seconds. After all, at this time, wasting half a second could be fatal.
"So, you risked your B-level life just to give me a chance to survive?"
"To be honest, you are not as good as Huang Ping'an. At least he knows that he is not smart, but some smart people are really stupid."
"speak English!"
Yun Hao hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Strengthen my personality."
…
In the depths of the turbulent blood sea, before being discovered by the green summons, a very thin shadow hid in the darkness.
"It's a good way to win people's hearts. After all, after all his books are burned... he still has a whole library. Even if it takes time to refine another book, it won't really cost his life. After all, It is quite difficult for a B-level cultivator to die."
"Speaking of it, their arrangements are very meticulous, and every resident's strategy for the secret realm is actually kept to the right level."
"As expected of a disciple of the Qi family, the girl named Qi Yueyue... is so dead that she can still cause them so much trouble."
The shadow walked in the empty corridor, talking to himself. Then he opened a door hidden in the deepest part, and the faint light of an oil lamp shone on him.
He is very ordinary. He is exactly the same as the seven ordinary yellow men in the room. Both his appearance and expression are featureless.
"It seems that there are still flaws in our plan. In less than five hours, before dawn, those practitioners completely captured our carefully prepared chess game."
"The spiritual consciousness of the secret realm - the chess saint, he only appreciates chess players who can play chess, and our current planners have been tricked into chess pieces."
After Shadow stood at the door, no one in the room spoke for a long time.
But after a while, there was still a man with long hair, who was now called 'Five'. He said unspeakably: "After all, we are facing the orthodoxy of a country... Even if this is only an insignificant part of its power, But it’s still difficult for us to compete.”
"And the importance those cultivators attach to some mortals who have no talent for cultivation is far beyond our imagination."
When 'Five' said this, a man next to him, temporarily called 'Two', suddenly sang in the tone of poetry: "In the sixty-fifth year of Dafeng, Yuezhou's red land was thousands of miles away, with millions of corpses and wild animals full of food. … Three parts are natural disasters, seven parts are man-made disasters, official hats and heads are falling like rain, sinners are punished, and God forgives them... There is no further explanation.”
"Hey," the boy at the back of the room raised his head. The 'three' guy looked very young, probably in his twenties, but his brows were filled with gloom now, "We don't have time for you to express your feelings now. , the boat has arrived, all the historians present, what you have to do is to make sure that your pen is full of ink!"
After the words fell, for a long time, the person was still standing at the door, as if ready to leave the shadow at any time, and then said: "We used the strange skills from outside the region to raise the Sand Scorpion Formation Eyes, but we suffered heavy losses in the early stages, and after spending all our energy , was re-cultivated into a blood-eating evil beast, and when he deliberately dragged the cultivator named Jimo away, he was easily killed when he first appeared."
"And because the Sand Scorpion Formation Eye was completely refined by an F-realm cultivator, there was an omission in the snow-capped mountain realm we controlled... and it was actually invaded by beings from outside the territory."
Weilan's awakening ability does not fully apply to herself, but allows every cultivator to have a qualitative improvement in their combat power, and such cultivators are all tactical-level beings, coupled with the characteristics of the Chess Saint Secret Realm , only practitioners below the Huang level are allowed to enter, making her ability a perfect fit for this secret realm rescue plan.
They also considered this problem, so before the secret realm was fully opened, they tried their best to trap Weilan into the secret realm in advance, and sealed her with the characteristics of snow lotus and thick fog. Those who wanted to enter the realm Practitioners will lose their way due to the fog. Even if they enter other realms, they will not feel "very surprised". When a cultivator notices this place, Bai Zi has already been dropped, and Wei Lan has been completely killed. That's right.
But now, not to mention Wei Lan, one of their experimental subjects was killed casually.
"Is it because of those guys from outside the territory? I remember that a man named McCulke Benton brought them out. Otherwise, it would be impossible for any cultivator to break through that layer of fog," said 'Liu', who was in charge of this project. Said: "There is another person named Luo'er, but unfortunately we can't get her information... Speaking of which, everything we do seems to be pushed out of the country by the authorities. Some red-haired man with glasses, five hundred A fat man weighing 5 pounds, a girl with flowery arms, everything, there is an outsider involved in everything, even our National Master’s ‘Beast Talisman’ turned out to be the scientific research result of some outsider, how stupid!”
"It's very reasonable," the long-haired 'Five' male stated: "They deceived their subjects. The meridians outside the territory are simply physiological science and have no spiritual power at all. If they want to supplement their abilities, You even need to carry elemental stones with you. If the outsiders really wanted to do something, they would have been caught by the inspiration types among the practitioners."
"I guess some flies from outside the territory have sneaked in, mercenaries or spies. Unfortunately, they can't catch us, so we can only use those from outside the territory to support us."
After the seven people in the room reviewed the 'history of failure' that could not be recorded in the history books, they still could not understand what went wrong.
"Haha, you always look down on them because of their short history of five thousand years, but... then why are they called orthodox, and we are lonely ghosts?" The shadow at the door laughed to itself.
"We tried to disrupt the balanced chessboard, but we were taken advantage of by those cultivators. Because the mortals were highly concentrated, a camp suitable for their survival was established within a week, and a rescue team was sent to gather all the remaining mortals from other realms. ."
"However, we have not set a 'balance point'. For example, those cultivators with higher realms are more likely to randomly go to realms with more mortals... This is definitely someone's game."
"Even the technology we used to control the sand scorpions was fed back to the 'Ebbing Tide' event in a strange way."
"As for some plans that even sound cruel to us...the person in charge of these tasks, have any of you seen him?"
After Shadow finished speaking, several 'historians' at the scene fell silent.
There were only seven of them present from beginning to end.
But how could it be possible that from beginning to end... there were only seven of them?
The slightly fat man wearing a robe, codenamed 'Seven', suddenly broke out in cold sweat and said: "We took advantage of the evil Situ family's trouble to forcefully open the secret realm, but now it has been completely seen through... What on earth is going on!"
"Didn't the Situ family all close their doors to thank guests? Could it be that they sent their disciples into the secret realm and were tainted with karma?"
"Speaking of which, the Situ family is not very good at it, it's just that their level is ridiculously high. As for those real deduction families, it is indeed possible to deduce all the 'cause and effect' of what we want to do."
"Cause and effect, everything is cause and effect!" 'Liu' in the back immediately said angrily: "If cause and effect is really effective, then our country's national master has already become the overlord of the world!"
The shadow at the door suddenly made a cold voice, "Haha, it's really ridiculous. I'm just a lowly Xuanjie, but I still want to be the overlord of the world?"
'Liu' suddenly suppressed his blush, "I just want to say that cause and effect are meaningless. A drop of water drips on the bluestone, and over time, the water drops penetrate the stone. Who can't calculate this kind of deduction?"
The whole audience fell into silence again. When it comes to cause and effect, it is indeed true. After all, those who can really calculate cause and effect have long been killed by heaven and earth.
Finally, the man with long hair who had been trying to reconcile the situation and was called 'Five' sighed quietly: "Don't forget our identities."
"We are just historians, recording a future that is about to become the past."
"And the process of history has long been brought to an end."
"As for the real history, Huainan and Huaibei that 'used to' existed will be like Henan back then, with their foundations completely shattered until the entire five thousand years of history collapsed..."
"And this time, let me see who else, which family, dares to use all the strength of the family to save those insignificant mortals!"
After his reassurance fell, the 'No. 2' trumpet that had recited the poem before actually started singing again, and his voice was as sharp as a woman's as his Adam's apple was beating.
"The demons and monsters are in this state. They are hungry and hungry, their lives are in fear, their hearts are broken, their energy is exhausted, their eyes are devastated. Looking at the 20,000 people in the mountains and fields, they are all bone-gnawing people..."
"Sing to the banks of the Huaihe River, hate is hard to drink, snow is falling in May!"
——
The last two sentences are too dark, so after thinking about it, it would be better to write them unclearly.
PS: I don’t know how to write dark and deep residual stories. I would hate to write a passerby character like Qi Yueyue to death. There will be other plots for her later.
