At this moment, a large number of fire beetles flew out of the beetle cave. Perhaps the guy who had practiced in the deepest part of the blood spring encountered the first wave of large numbers of fire beetles, so he was extremely frightened and ran back in panic.
They even wanted to run directly out of the bleeding fountain area.
Zhang Liang and Lan Yan, who had just retreated to the edge of the blood spring, saw the guys rushing towards the blood spring. As soon as they rushed to the edge of the blood spring, blood blades shot out. The force was so strong that they killed several people with one knife. It exploded and turned into a large piece of blood mist, gathering into the blood-filled eyes.
"This~"
Lan Yan couldn't help but exclaimed: "How could that happen?"
Zhang Liang's pupils shrank. No wonder the stone tablet said that once the trial started, it could not be interrupted. It turned out to be so uninterruptible.
Lan Yan's expression suddenly changed: "I feel like we were deceived by the Demon Suppressor."
Zhang Liang glanced at him sideways: "Oh? Can't it be an accident?"
Lan Yan looked at Zhang Liang deeply: "There have been too many accidents. More than 7,600 people have died, and nearly 4,000 people have died so far. It was agreed that we could practice for one month, and in just ten days, such a big accident happened. Accident. Even if he was not responsible for this incident, where is he now? As the Demon Suppressor, how could he not even notice this incident? Why didn't he come to help us? "
Zhang Liang said calmly: "Not stupid."
Seeing that her guess was approved by Zhang Liang, Lan Yan couldn't help but said: "You also think that we have been deceived? But what is his purpose of deceiving us? Why does his majestic demon-suppressing envoy of the Ten Thousand Demons Mansion have trouble with us? "
Zhang Liang said inexplicably: "How do I know?"
Lan Yan: "Then what should we do now?"
Zhang Liang looked into the depths of the blood spring and said nothing.
Through the shark mask, Lan Yan didn't know what Zhang Liang's expression was now, but listening to his words, he seemed quite calm. She took a breath immediately and said no more, just standing next to Zhang Liang.
Lan Yan has always had a feeling that this person is anything but simple. As powerful as him, there was no way he wouldn't try to save himself. He really didn't understand the situation, so he might as well have followed this person first.
Otherwise, who could she follow? Other sirens? What's the use of following them if you're not smart enough?
No, there was not even a stick of incense. The big demons who had gone deep into the blood spring retreated to the edge of the blood spring.
Benimaru, who ranked third in the Hundred Demons Festival, Bei Xuanling and others from Beibei Sea, some crispy little mushroom people who fled in embarrassment, and even the hermit crab monster wearing hard armor, all retreated.
Many people were a little surprised when they saw Zhang Liang and Lan Yan standing at the edge of the blood spring early in the morning, and then secretly thought, it turns out that strong people are also afraid of death.
That Hongwan shouted: "Brothers, exit the blood spring."
Lan Yan wanted to remind these sea monsters not to try to rush out, but she turned around and found that Zhang Liang was staring straight ahead with no intention of warning at all, so she didn't speak.
Bei Xuanling, who was originally about to propose withdrawing from the blood spring, suddenly stopped as his heart moved when he saw Lan Yan hesitate to speak.
Just listen, with Benimaru's order, dozens of sea monsters rushed towards the edge of the blood spring.
"Puff puff puff~"
However, these people hadn't even stepped out yet. The next moment, dozens of blood-colored blades swept across, killing these sea monsters with one blow. Blood mist sprayed, the corpses shattered, and they were blown away.
Hong Wan, who was less than 100 meters away from the blood spring, braked quickly and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He was so frightened that he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"How...how could this happen?"
Suddenly, thousands of sea monsters were terrified, and they dared not run out of the blood spring.
Bei Xuanling was so frightened that she almost made the decision to withdraw from the blood spring.
After being frightened, Benimaan suddenly became angry: "Blood Shark, Lan Yan, did you already know that this blood spring can't get out? Why didn't you remind me to wait?"
Lan Yan: "It's too late."
Zhang Liang tilted his head and said: "A hundred words are useless when people teach others. To teach people by doing things, just once is enough."
"Is it enough to teach people something once?"
Lan Yan thought about it for a moment and suddenly felt that it made sense. If she had stopped these people just now and refused to let them leave, they might have thought that she was being unreasonable, or even deceiving them, or had some shady purpose.
However, let them try it by themselves. There is no need to say it themselves. One time is enough. Why bother?
As for the lives of those sea monsters? Who is that? You don’t know them personally, do you care whether they live or die?
Benimaru: "Nonsense, if only you had reminded me, this tragic situation would not have happened."
"Brush~"
However, the next moment, Zhang Liang thrust the blood-colored demonic knife into the ground and said indifferently: "If you keep nagging, behead him."
Benimaru: "..."
By the way, Hong Wan is confused at the moment. He wants to kill everything. Can't I just say a few words?
However, Benimaru snorted coldly and shut up at that time, thinking that he must never fall into my hands in the future, otherwise you will be unable to survive or die.
Lan Yan, who was next to her, couldn't help but snicker when she saw this. She couldn't help but admire Zhang Liang even more. He was straightforward, decisive, domineering, and arrogant. He looked like an absolute strong man, which made people admire and admire him.
Next door, Bei Xuanling started to think after hearing this.
Perhaps, this is the attitude that a strong person should have, this is what the master expects. If he hadn't sneaked out this time, the master would not have chased the Hundred Demons. If Master had not come to the Hundred Demons Gathering, he would not have come to this volcanic secret realm, and he would not have perished here.
Everyone did not dare and had no time to argue with Zhang Liang and the others because there was no way out, but a large number of fire beetles came flying "buzzing".
Some people have turned into flaming people, running wildly back in their blood.
Just listen to those people running and shouting: "Everyone, the flames of these fire insects seem to have a fusion effect. They will make the temperature of the body higher and higher. You must not let them collide with the main body? You must not..."
At this moment, more than three thousand foundation-building demons stopped at the edge of the gas spring, looking at the large influx of fire beetles, and they could only take action to resist them for a while.
As the number of fire beetles increases, more and more people are set ablaze by the fire beetles.
Someone shouted: "Everyone, what should we do? What should we do now?"
Some people were speechless: "Where did these damn fire bugs come from? Why are there so many of them?"
Someone shouted: "Guardian, are you here, Lord Guardian?"
There are still many people calling for the big monsters in the late stage of their foundation building, but obviously no one will respond to them.
"Why, isn't it said that you can practice for one month?"
"Did someone get too close to the depths of the blood spring and touch something?"
"Even if it touches something, why can't we leave?"
"Could it be that he is the guardian envoy..."
At this time, no matter how stupid these sea monsters are, they have guessed some possibilities, but they have not dared to speak out yet.
However, upon hearing the sea monster's questioning tone, many sea monsters also fell silent.
However, they couldn't figure it out. They couldn't figure out why? The dignified envoy, why are you cheating on them?
Unfortunately, he was not allowed to think about it for long. More and more fire beetles were flying over. Zhang Liang could clearly see that the flames on some people were almost changing color, and they were emitting extremely high temperatures.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the more burned people are, the more fire beetles like to chase them.
The man could not escape, and everyone around him also avoided him. He tried to rush into the crowd, hoping to use the strength of others to help him block the following fire beetles.
However, someone gave him a direct blow and chopped him off.
Just listen to the person who made the move: "So many fireflies are chasing you, don't you know it? Run into the crowd, do you want to kill us?"
However, the man who was burned shouted: "If you don't save me, you will be the next one to be burned to death."
However, there was still no one to save him, and the man could only fight the fire beetles alone.
As you can imagine, after a while, the flames on the man's body really changed color and turned into deep red. At the same time, terrifying high temperatures erupted. In the man's desperate cry, he finally fell into the flames.
There are more than one person like him, there are dozens of them. Some people are severely burned, while others are only suffering from mild burns.
As for the others, they had no time to care about the burned ones at this moment. Instead, they used all their strength to kill the charging fire beetles.
Zhang Liang did not take action, because there happened to be a sea anemone banshee standing next to him, which was Lan Yan.
The sea anemone banshee has many tentacles. Thousands of tentacles sprayed out pieces of evil energy, helping Zhang Liang block many fire beetles.
Just listen to Lan Yan say: "Is it interesting? What have you noticed after observing it for so long?"
Seeing that Zhang Liang still looked thoughtful and did not speak, and Lan Yan was not in a hurry, she believed in her own judgment. Only a siren with extraordinary intelligence would think so hard. Compared to those sea monsters who numbly killed the fire beetles, she felt that instead of discussing with them, it was better to find a solution on her own.
Zhang Liang was indeed thinking at this moment.
First of all, the fire beetle is not very powerful, but it is very fast. Its attacks are basically self-destruction, and the flames from the self-explosion have contaminating properties and will not dissipate in a short period of time.
Secondly, as others have said, the effects of these flames seem to present some unknown superposition. In other words, the more flames a person has on his body, the stronger the flame power will be.
Finally, anyone tainted with flames becomes the main target of the fire beetle, just like a moth flying to a flame, it will catch you and kill you while you are sick, taking your life.
Based on these characteristics, Zhang Liang thought about the content of the trial and crossed the beetle cave.
There are only so many fire beetles flying out, so how many fire beetles must be in the beetle cave?
And the space inside the cave is definitely not as empty as outside. In a cramped space, the probability of evading fire beetles is greatly reduced, and it is difficult for ordinary people to block these superimposing flames.
Although Zhang Liang didn't know the situation in the Beetle Cave, he believed that the ancient secret realm and the free opportunity were comparable to decades of hard work. Would the difficulty of the trial be easy?
However, if it is difficult and the trialists suffer heavy casualties, what's the point?
In addition, I don’t know how long I have been sleeping in this secret realm. Fang Hui must have rushed into the cave. Even though he is at the peak of foundation building, he is still within the trial range after all. Isn’t he afraid? How dare he rush in immediately?
Suddenly, he thought of something.
Zhang Liang suddenly took out a small ball of fiery red liquid and swallowed it directly into his stomach under the watchful eyes of Lan Yan, Bei Xuanling, Hongwan and others.
Everyone is not stupid. Although they can't figure everything out, it doesn't mean that others can't figure it out. Especially a guy like Zhang Liang, who is so calm and powerful and conceited, would he be willing to risk his life here?
No, when Zhang Liang took out the fire spirit liquid, everyone's eyes lit up. They have made a lot of this stuff. Could it be of great use here?
No, after Zhang Liang swallowed the fire spirit liquid, he looked at Lan Yan and said, "Send some fire beetles over here."
"Ah? Are you sure?"
"Um!"
Lan Yan didn't hesitate. Suddenly, hundreds of beetles rushed over and headed straight for Zhang Liang.
"Bang bang bang~"
With the explosion of flames on Zhang Liang's body, Zhang Liang immediately turned into a burning man. Lan Yan couldn't help but take a few steps back because the temperature on Zhang Liang's body was rising continuously.
This made everyone wonder if Zhang Liang was thinking in the wrong direction, because everyone felt that the temperature on his body was no different from that of those who were clicked.
However, they did not know that Zhang Liang did not feel too hot at this moment. He could only describe his physical feeling as warmer.
The next moment, Lan Yan protected Zhang Liang again. As time went by, everyone's faces gradually showed surprise, because the flames on Zhang Liang's body were slowly disappearing.
After about a hundred breaths, the flames on Zhang Liang's body completely dissipated.
At this point, Zhang Liangcai said calmly: "It's useful, but the effect of the fire spirit liquid is also dissipating quickly."
Lan Yan's eyes suddenly shone with light, and she thought to herself that her guess was indeed correct. When she killed the ferocious magma beast in the magma river before, she just wanted to collect the fire spirit liquid and the spiritual beads, thinking that these must be good things, although she didn't know what these two things were.
Most people are like him. After all, killing a ferocious beast is just a little bit, and not every magma ferocious beast has it, so they all think it is extraordinary and keep most of them.
At this moment, Lan Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Then what should we do now?"
Zhang Liang immediately strode towards the depths of the blood spring, which made many people feel nervous.
Not far away, Bei Xuanling also reminded: "The guard said that the depths of the blood spring are dangerous..."
Zhang Liang paused for a moment, wondering why this girl is still so naive.
"Do you think it's dangerous here?"
Bei Xuanling's face turned a little red, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After saying that, Zhang Liang brandished the blood-colored demonic sword and killed into the depths of the blood spring.
He had fire spirit liquid in his body, but that didn't mean that he had to let the fire beetles keep burning him. After all, the more intense the burning, the faster the fire spirit liquid will be consumed.
Zhang Liang had already killed him at an extremely fast speed. When Lan Yan saw this, he swallowed a ball of fire spirit liquid without hesitation and quickly chased after him.
Seeing this, Benimaru shouted: "Let's go, follow."
Everyone saw it, Zhang Liang tried out the effect of the fire spirit liquid on his own, right in front of his eyes, who would still hesitate?
Immediately, Benimaru and others quickly chased after him.
Bei Xuanling gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, everyone, follow us."
Three thousand sea monsters, traveling backwards in the Sea of Insects, at very fast speeds. Soon, everyone arrived at the trial stone tablet.
When they saw this stone tablet, Lan Yan and others understood it in an instant.
Lan Yan's expression turned ugly: "The number of people in the trial is three thousand. The Demon Suppressor... He really did it on purpose. He actually wanted us to practice here for another month, so wouldn't he be immediately obliterated?"
Seeing this stone tablet, Bei Xuanling and others were dumbfounded.
Trial, ancient golden elixir?
When this information appeared in their eyes, no matter how stupid they were, they knew Fang Hui's bad intentions. This is obviously to get this ancient golden elixir, use them to increase the number of people, and start the trial.
The key is, if you want to start the trial, then just tell us!
Not only did Fang Hui not tell them, but he also lied to them that they could practice here for a month. He also specifically reminded them not to go to the depths of the blood spring. This was not helping them, it was clearly killing them.
Zhang Liang had already known the situation on the stone tablet, and he also knew that the later the time passed through the beetle cave, the higher the danger.
The amount of fire spirit liquid in each person is limited. If too much is consumed outside the cave, the less fire spirit liquid will be available in the beetle cave.
Zhang Liang stood in front of the stone tablet for more than ten breaths, then rushed towards the Beetle Cave with his knife. His goal has been achieved, which is to let everyone realize Fang Hui's true face.
It’s not that Zhang Liang was so kind and wanted to remind them. But he was afraid that not many people could cross the Beetle Cave. When the time came, if he could cross the Beetle Cave, it would be difficult to deal with Fang Hui.
But with more people, it’s different.
Perhaps, these people couldn't kill Fang Hui. However, there is absolutely no problem in sweeping away the late-stage foundation-building monster around Fang Hui.
They are not invincible in the later stages of foundation building. Their demonic energy is also limited, and their power is also limited. They may be able to defeat one against ten, or one against a hundred, but can they defeat one against a thousand?
There are so many great monsters in the early stage of foundation building. If they really have to fight to the death, I dare not say that they can kill Fang Hui, but at least they have formed a force to compete with Fang Hui.
Zhang Liang was in front, followed closely by Lan Yan, who seemed to have made up his mind to follow Zhang Liang.
When Zhang Liang rushed into the Beetle Cave, in addition to a large number of fire beetles flying out, he also saw an irregular boulder standing in the cave, about a hundred meters high, with eight characters written on it - Three Thousand Great Roads, Special The journey returns to oneness.
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and Lan Yan said behind him, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Liang: "Don't keep asking me."
Lan Yan: "I don't understand. I just think that since it is a trial, it is impossible to put an inexplicable sentence here for no reason."
Zhang Liang swallowed a ball of fire spirit liquid again, stepped forward and knocked on the strange stone tablet. As soon as his hand touched the stone tablet, the next moment his whole body seemed to be sucked by a huge force and disappeared in an instant. .
When Zhang Liang suddenly came to his senses, he was surrounded by passages extending in all directions, as well as large swaths of fire beetles flying towards him.
As Zhang Liang looked around, Lan Yan was nowhere to be found.
"Oops."
Zhang Liangliang had a bad feeling. This trial seemed to be aimed at everyone.
I was inexplicably transported from the entrance of the cave to this inexplicable place. Lan Yan has been following him, but he didn't appear at this moment, which already explained the problem. Is this a random teleportation?
This is why Zhang Liang feels bad, because this kind of random teleportation completely depends on the tester's own ability. This means that even if Zhang Liang leads them to discover Fang Hui's secret, it will be useless, because they may not be able to cross the cave at all. Then there is no way to talk about joining forces to fight against Fang Hui's plan.
"No, there is still a chance. It is also the first time for Fang Hui to enter the Beetle Cave. It is less than half an hour since the trial started. He may not be faster than me. As long as I am faster than him, there is a chance."
Immediately, Zhang Liang forced himself to calm down and began to look for a way out.
Taking a closer look, there are actually ten passages here, and each passage looks almost exactly the same.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but think of the saying he just saw, "Three thousand roads lead to one through different paths", which obviously meant something.
"Could it be that no matter which way you go, you will end up back on the same road?"
"Bang bang bang~"
Countless fire beetles rushed towards them, and Zhang Liang slashed them to pieces at will, feeling that the temperature was getting higher and higher. Moreover, a large number of flames blended together, causing the flame to slowly change color and upgrade.
"No, we have to find a way quickly."
Zhang Liangliang's first thought was to release his spiritual consciousness.
However, as soon as his spiritual consciousness was released, he was attacked by a burning heat, and Zhang Liang felt that his soul was being burned.
"Hey! Can't you use your spiritual sense?"
After rubbing his head, Zhang Liang sacrificed a thousand first-grade jade cockroaches with his backhand. I saw these jade cockroaches rushing towards various passages quickly.
However, just a moment later, Zhang Liang felt that the jasper cockroach was targeted by the fire beetle, classified as an intruder, and suffered a devastating blow.
A thousand jasper cockroaches penetrated five hundred meters into each cave and were eaten alive by a large number of fire beetles.
But Zhang Liang did not give up. He once again summoned a thousand jade cockroaches and released them five times in a row.
In the end, when the five thousand jade cockroaches were almost wiped out, they finally rushed out of each passage.
However, through the spiritual insect perception, Zhang Liang's face was filled with astonishment.
Because, he was shocked to find that after the passage, there were still dense passages.
Yes, and behind each road, there are seven, eight, or even a dozen new passages.
At this moment, Zhang Liang understood. The "Three Thousand Avenues" probably refers to the criss-crossing passages here, extending in all directions, right?
If there are really three thousand passages in this beetle cave, even if all the spiritual insects in his body are released, it will definitely not be enough to kill him.
Immediately, Zhang Liang gave up the idea of spirit insects exploring the path.
Not every sea monster can raise spiritual insects. If there are no spiritual insects, are they waiting to die?
This is a trial to select outstanding talents, so finding a path is the biggest test for those who try it.
"The spirit insect itself is not very powerful. It can be held back for a short period of time by using the fire spirit liquid. This should be an opportunity left by the trial organizer for everyone. It means to find a way out before the fire spirit liquid is used up."
"You can't stay in one place for too long, otherwise the temperature here will rise sharply, which will accelerate the consumption of fire spirit liquid. This will force the tester to make a quick choice."
"Three thousand avenues, different paths lead to one."
Zhang Liang murmured again. He knew that fire beetles and fire spirit liquid were not the key to breaking the situation.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask himself, what is the purpose of the trial?
"The hunting ability of the fire spirit liquid? For the great foundation-building demon, that thing only needs a hand. If you take your time, you will get a lot."
"With the fire spirit liquid, fire beetles are not a problem."
"This is just the first trial. If there are subsequent trials, then this first trial should be the easiest."
"Spiritual wisdom."
Suddenly, Zhang Liang suddenly understood something.
The creatures in the magma river not only have fire spirit liquid, they also have spiritual enlightenment beads in their bodies. What is the Qiling Pearl used for? Used to enhance intelligence.
What to do to improve your intelligence? It is to cope with the trial.
Therefore, this first trial should rely on spiritual intelligence.
The Kraken never likes to think. This is the drawback of the Kraken, so I have to take the test.
Similarly, because the Kraken never likes to think, they can't solve the test questions that are too difficult, so the first trial of wisdom test is definitely not difficult.
Standing still in the cave, Zhang Liang remained motionless.
"It's impossible for all the passages to be exactly the same, otherwise they will be random. If you want to get out, you have to rely on luck. If you rely on luck to walk through the maze, isn't that asking for death?"
Zhang Liang immediately checked each passage one by one. I want to find subtle differences in the shape, materials and details of the cave.
However, no.
It took another half an hour for Zhang Liang to swallow the fire spirit liquid more than thirty times and walk back and forth through the ten passages, checking each one, trying not to miss any details.
Unfortunately, still not.
Returning to the place where he appeared, Zhang Liang stood still, facing the passages, and suddenly grinned: "So it's so simple."
