This scene made Zhang Liang and Bei Xuanling's expressions change. If the flame spirit could continuously absorb the flames burning on the blades of grass, how could it kill them?
Not to mention killing six, even killing one is enough. You must know that he has even used a sword. The combat power in that moment is definitely comparable to the later stage of foundation building.
It was too late, but soon, Zhang Liang threw out a black fish guard with his backhand, locking everything tens of meters around the flame spirit.
If this trick doesn't work, then he can only use some methods from the human race's world of immortality.
Huge black fish tens of meters high were flying in the air around the flame spirit. Finally, the formation did have the ability to isolate the flames. In the blink of an eye, the guardian spirit formation was covered by the spreading flames.
However, these flames failed to break into the protective formation.
The flame spirit that was about to collapse has now recovered to a small extent due to the replenishment, and turned into a fire storm again.
However, due to its greatly reduced strength, it was unable to break through for the time being.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Liang immediately swallowed a large mouthful of fire spirit liquid, and then rushed into the formation without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang~"
After a fierce battle, the flame spirit finally lost its fighting power because it had no fire to replenish it.
Just when Zhang Liang thought he could take it down immediately, he suddenly saw the flame spirit shrinking rapidly, from a four-meter giant to less than half a meter tall.
It was at this moment that the World Divine Mirror began to tremble.
"not good!"
When Zhang Liang saw this, he immediately jumped out of the black fish to protect him, but it was already a little late.
"Boom~"
"Click~"
I saw a huge firework exploding on the Fresh Fire Plain. The power of the explosion not only broke through the black fish guard, but even enveloped the surrounding area for more than thirty meters.
But in the exploding fireball, a person was blown away and rolled dozens of times on the grass before he could stop. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Liang?
"Ahem~"
Zhang Liang got up from the ground while coughing. White smoke was emitting from all over his body, like a walking humanoid smoke bomb, and he looked quite embarrassed.
When Bei Xuanling saw this, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Master, master, are you okay?"
Zhang Liang was so disgraced at the moment that even half of the shark mask was blown up, revealing his handsome face, and Xuan Ling was stunned.
"Huh~"
Zhang Liang took out another ball of fire spirit liquid with his backhand and swallowed it in his mouth. Then in front of Bei Xuanling, he took off the shark mask, took out another shark mask and put it on his face.
Then he said: "This Fresh Fire Plain is indeed much more dangerous than the Beetle Cave."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Liang looked at the stunned Bei Xuanling and said, "What are you looking at?"
"I...no, it's nothing."
Zhang Liang snorted softly: "Why, do you think your transformation is more perfect than mine?"
Bei Xuanling: "..."
Bei Xuanling thought of Zhang Liang's handsome face just now, the slightly raised corners of his mouth and the relatively gentle temperament between his eyebrows. It was really difficult to associate it with the blood shark in her heart.
She was even thinking, how could such a person kill like that?
Zhang Liang ignored Bei Xuanling and rushed into the sea of fire. He quickly found a piece of fiery red armor with a strange rune engraved on it.
"Is this a fire talisman? It does seem to have the meaning of an ancient rune."
Zhang Liang couldn't help but remember that there were so many runes on Hei Zu's body. So when I saw this rune, I didn't feel anything, but I was basically certain that it was indeed an ancient rune.
"Click~"
At this moment, there was a sudden cracking sound on Zhang Liang's body. When he looked down, he realized that a protective necklace hanging around his neck had cracked.
"Good guy, he's pretty awesome."
Zhang Liang immediately turned around, looked at Bei Xuanling and said: "I remember that there is a trick in your fairy magic, which is to summon a giant shell in the void to wrap the enemy, right?"
Bei Xuanling nodded hard: "But I can only use that kind of fairy magic once a day without any injuries. If I use it forcibly a second time, there will be damage, and I will need to recuperate in the next two or three days."
"Once a day is enough."
"It seems that your practice is still not good enough, that's all, come with me and kill one first."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one except the three of them had passed through the Beetle Cave, Zhang Liang of course wanted to kill them all.
Bei Xuanling is one of his own now, so it's okay for him to show the protection of the black fish. But if anyone else saw it, they would probably guess where he came from.
Although Zhang Liang is not afraid of others guessing his origins, there is really no need to let outsiders know.
A moment later, after Zhang Liang fought with all his strength and saw that the flame spirit had begun to absorb the flames of the Fresh Fire Plains, he immediately shouted: "Take action."
When Bei Xuanling saw this, he immediately shouted: "Fairy spirit technique, Lingbei cage, bound."
I saw the shadow of a giant shell more than ten feet suddenly appeared and swallowed the flame spirit into it.
When Zhang Liang saw this, he swept the bloody demon knife close to the ground and quickly cleared away all the weeds within dozens of meters around him.
However, the flame spirit was more straightforward. It seemed that it didn't even think about landing and exploded directly. It simply blasted through the spirit shell cage with its own body, leaving behind a fire talisman.
Bei Xuanling's face was slightly pale, but it shouldn't matter.
Zhang Liang stepped forward and picked up the fire talisman. However, when he took a closer look, wasn't it exactly the same as his own fire talisman?
"No, will this thing happen again?"
Zhang Liang was in bad shape at the time. If the fire talismans born from each flame spirit were random, then as more and more fire talismans were in his hand, the probability of repetition would increase.
This is not as simple as killing six flame spirits. If you want to assemble a set of six fire talismans with different runes, you may need to kill ten, twenty or even thirty flame spirits.
However, one Flame Spirit was already so powerful. Killing twenty or thirty Flame Spirits in those seven days was much more difficult than expected.
Zhang Liang's face darkened, and he threw the fire talisman in his hand to Bei Xuanling and said, "Here you go."
"Give me?"
Zhang Liang raised the fire talisman in his hand and said, "These two are the same."
"It's the same, wouldn't that be..."
Zhang Liang said calmly: "If I'm not wrong, at the second trial, the test may not be the personal ability of the trialist at all, but the team's strength."
"team?"
Bei Xuanling thought for a while: "The Flame Spirit is indeed very powerful. I may not be able to win one-on-one."
Zhang Liang looked in the direction of the Beetle Cave in the distance and thought to himself that he couldn't form a group now even if he wanted to! They were the only two who arrived first and had already started the trial.
Fortunately, the two of them are not weak. Moreover, Zhang Liang can now use the Black Fish Guardian at will.
Just listen to Zhang Liang say: "Let's go deep into the Fresh Fire Plains."
After that, Zhang Liang patted the spirit beast bag, and thousands of jade cockroaches poured out and burrowed in all directions. The spiritual fire generated in the grass alone cannot actually hurt the jade cockroaches at all, so there is no need to worry about these jade cockroaches being burned to death.
Half a day later.
"Bang~"
Zhang Liang found a fire talisman from the wave of explosions. When he took a closer look, he curled his lips and said, "Another duplicate."
In the past half day, through the protection of the black fish, Zhang Liang killed three more flame spirits. His luck should be pretty good, there are two different fire talismans, and the one he got at the moment is the same as the three on his body.
Zhang Liang casually threw the repeated fire talisman to Bei Xuanling, and then looked at the palm of his hand.
He knew that he had the fastest way, which was the World Divine Mirror.
However, although Bei Xuanling had already seen the Divine World Mirror, he knew that it was a magical space treasure. But I couldn't create an illusion for Bei Xuanling that using the World Divine Mirror was casual, cheap, and simple. Otherwise, the World Divine Mirror will appear too heaven-defying.
He was not afraid that Bei Xuanling would betray him, but that there were all kinds of strong men in the Immortal Sea. It is impossible for him to keep Bei Xuanling with him for the rest of his life. If someone takes away her body, searches for her soul, or something like that, the secret of the World Divine Mirror may be exposed.
The reason why Zhang Liang is worried is because Bei Xuanling has a fairy bead, and too many people are concerned about it. Once Bei Xuanling reaches the late stage of foundation building or reaches the peak of foundation building, that will be the biggest test in her life. Don't want to take the risk.
Even if possible, Zhang Liang decided to try to find a way to kill people's memories in the future. Only in this way can he ensure that the secret of the World Divine Mirror will never be leaked.
Therefore, despite the fierce battle with the Flame Spirit, Zhang Liang has not thought of using the World Divine Mirror for the time being.
Zhang Liang: "Take a break for half an hour and continue."
The Flame Spirit is not weak. Zhang Liangyi's swordsmanship has already exploded, so the second battle will take a lot of effort.
So every time you fight, you need time to rest. Moreover, even if he could bear it, Bei Xuanling couldn't. At this moment, Bei Xuanling was almost exhausted.
When Zhang Liang said he should take a rest, Bei Xuanling sat down on the ground, and everything he looked like disappeared.
Zhang Liang said, if a large number of teams really arrive one after another, once they are exhausted and unable to cope with the situation at this moment, they must prevent their teammates from rebelling.
Therefore, Zhang Liang felt that it was not an exaggeration to say that the difficulty level of this second trial was several times higher than that of the first trial.
During the break, Zhang Liang was reading through the blood puppet technique.
Zhang Liang has been studying this technique since the first time he took a break. After all, there are 19 puppets under him now, and the lowest strength is in the late stage of foundation building.
If you can use this blood puppet, you don't need to fight it with so much effort.
Unfortunately, the control method of this blood puppet technique is a bit complicated, and the puppet needs to be refined. What Zhang Liang is studying is the method of refining blood energy.
After studying the blood puppet technique for a while, Bei Xuanling asked cautiously: "Master, what should I do with the extra fire talismans?"
"Exchange the extra with others..."
Zhang Liang blurted out, but suddenly he was stunned, as if something was wrong.
When there are more people on the Fresh Fire Plains, everyone will have hands and feet and can fight. By then, everyone will have more redundant fire talismans. Do they need to replace them?
Even if there is something that needs to be exchanged, it will be in the early stage, because the number of fire talismans is small and the difference is large, so exchange is possible.
But as time goes by, the number of fire talismans will only increase, and the number of duplicates will only increase. By then, it will be almost impossible to exchange fire talismans for fire talismans.
Moreover, exchanging fire talismans also requires facing some dangers. They are all sea monsters. Who can trust whom? If a fire talisman is extremely difficult to defeat, will people easily exchange it for it?
If so, wouldn't it just be someone else's bait?
Zhang Liang thought a lot in an instant, and he suddenly felt that these repeated fire talismans might not necessarily be meaningless.
Otherwise, once you pass the second trial and leave the trial, what meaning do these fire talismans have? Brand?
If there are a large number of fire talismans left, then in ancient times, the testers who came here may not need to undergo this second trial at all, because the fire talismans may have been gathered outside.
Therefore, after Bei Xuanling's reminder, Zhang Liang suddenly felt that even the repetition of the fire talisman might have its meaning.
…
At this moment, a spiritual insect came. When Zhang Liang felt it for a moment, he knew that someone had broken through the beetle Rongtong. Judging from the pictures fed back by the spirit insects, it was Lan Yan, which was not beyond Zhang Liang's expectations.
Lan Yan is a shrewd woman. Zhang Liang is not surprised at all that she can pass through the beetle cave.
However, before Zhang Liang could get up, another spirit insect ran over and said that Hong Wan from the blue-backed stingray group had also arrived.
"It doesn't look stupid! Someone has arrived. Before they react, let's work together to hunt another one."
Bei Xuanling's heart moved: "Are we still fighting? Our current situation is not very good. What if they have malicious intentions..."
Zhang Liang sneered: "Now you are more cautious. When you first saw the trial on the stone tablet, did you dare to come in directly?"
Bei Xuanling shook her head slightly. She saw the second trial for the first time, and she was the only one around. How could she dare to start the second trial rashly?
After thinking about it from his perspective, Bei Xuanling understood what Zhang Liang meant. She didn't dare to come in rashly, and neither did anyone else, so at least for now they didn't have to worry about being hunted by other trialists.
Moreover, she has no right to speak now and can only listen to Zhang Liang.
However, she turned around and thought that if she was allowed to take action, she might be able to hunt only one flame spirit alone. She was not sure whether she could hunt another one that day, and the harvest might not be as good as following Zhang Liang.
…
At the stone monument.
Lan Yan stood in front of the stone monument and looked around to make sure there was no one around. He frowned and looked at the stone monument: "Am I the first to get here? However, this trial is really not easy. If you are right, If my guess is even slightly unstable, I might give up halfway."
Lan Yan thought about it for a moment, she had walked for a long time along the way. Several times, she wondered if she had guessed wrong, because if her guess was correct, would it really take that long and pass through so many passages?
Facts have proved that if I had hesitated a little and changed the path, the outcome might have been different.
"Isn't that Blood Shark guy here yet? What a pity."
"No, if I am the first, then where is the ancient golden elixir?"
Immediately, Lan Yan narrowed her eyes, and she realized that she was definitely not the first, there must be someone faster than her.
Who could it be?
She was not sure because she knew that there were other people like the Demon Suppressor who entered the Beetle Cave earlier than them. If she had to say who might be the first to pass through the Beetle Cave, she felt that there was a 90% chance that it would be the Demon Suppressor and the Great Guard.
"Fellow Taoist Lanyan."
Suddenly, a call came from behind Lan Yan. She turned around suddenly and saw a red-haired man walking out of the beetle cave with two knives in hand.
"Benimaru?"
Lan Yan frowned slightly. She had never been in contact with this person. She had only had a fierce battle at the Hundred Demons Festival, and she only narrowly won at that time. If she had to fight again, she wouldn't be absolutely sure.
Hong Wan was the first to get close: "There is a book in the Ten Thousand Demons Mansion that says that real human beings will call each other as fellow Taoists. I am not being rude, am I? How about Miss Lan Yan?"
Lan Yan's personality is not that outgoing, and is even a bit aloof, which is why she is so compatible with Zhang Liang.
Just listen to her indifferent response: "Whatever."
Benimaru smiled and said: "It seems that the blood shark hasn't arrived yet! I think he seemed to have a grudge against fellow Taoist Lan Yan before. How about we form a temporary alliance?"
Lan Yan said calmly: "I'm not the first one, otherwise I would have obtained the Ancient Golden Pill by now and got into this fresh fire plain."
"oh?"
While talking, Benimaru had already arrived in front of the stone tablet. Looking at the content on the stone tablet, his eyes lit up: "The legendary fish fire body tempering technique?"
Lan Yan glanced sideways: "You know?"
Benimaru smiled and said: "I know a little bit. It is said that it is an ancient body refining technique, and it can be cultivated into a strange physique called the Fire Demon Spirit Body. However, this kind of spirit body has only appeared in ancient books. I thought it was true."
After that, Benimaru extended the invitation again: "Friend Lan Yan, no one else is here anyway, how about we try together? Since this fresh fire plain is the second trial, it will probably be more difficult than the first trial. .”
Lan Yan was thinking about whether to agree to the red pill, when suddenly, the ground trembled slightly.
The next moment, an expanding smoke cloud floated in the sky dozens of miles away.
After a breath, a "rumbling" sound was heard.
For a moment, Lan Yan and Hong Wan's expressions changed slightly. At this moment, they knew that someone had indeed arrived first, and they had also gone deep into the Fresh Fire Plains.
Lan Yan: "Okay, make an alliance."
"Um?"
Benimaru was a little surprised. Lan Yan seemed hesitant just now, but now he agreed easily. However, judging from the power from a distance, it seemed that the blow was really impressive.
Benimaru just imagined that if he was in such a battle, even if he didn't die, he would probably lose half his life.
"walk into."
…
"Oh shit."
Zhang Liang was in a bad state. He finally killed another fire spirit, but it turned out to be a repeated fire talisman. Moreover, this fire talisman was duplicated by both he and Bei Xuanling.
Zhang Liang lay down directly and said, "I won't fight anymore. I'll fight again tomorrow."
"good!"
Zhang Liang knows that the further back this thing goes, the greater the chance of repeating it. But I only collected three of them, and three of them were repeated, and one of them was repeated twice. Is my luck so bad?
Zhang Liang originally thought that Lan Yan would come looking for him, but he didn't. Through the spirit insects, Zhang Liang discovered that Lan Yan and Hong Wan had formed an alliance and were fighting a fire spirit dozens of miles away from him.
However, he didn't care too much. If it were him, he might not approach the other party rashly, because no one knew whether he would encounter the Demon Suppressor group.
Three hours after Lan Yan arrived at Fresh Fire Plains, people finally passed the first trial one after another.
After Zhang Liang studied the blood puppet surgery for a whole day, he and Bei Xuanling had almost recovered.
At this moment, the Fresh Fire Plains was obviously very lively. Nearly a hundred people passed the first trial overnight.
These people should be considered relatively smart, and the fire spirit fluid in their bodies should not be exhausted. However, as the time goes by, as the fire spirit liquid in the testers decreases, they will become more and more anxious.
Some people will be irritable and try randomly, while others will take the gamble and follow their own ideas. It depends on how many people can pass the trial on the second day. Logically speaking, the most people should pass the trial on the second day.
"Master, shall we start?"
"start."
Soon, Bei Xuanling quickly eliminated a flame spirit with the Lingbei Cage, and Zhang Liang was surprised to get a fourth different fire talisman.
Another hour later, Zhang Liang killed a flame spirit without using any sword skills and obtained a duplicate fire talisman.
After two hours, hit again and repeat.
After three hours, hit again and repeat.
Five hours later, the beating was repeated again.
"Damn it, where are you cheating?"
Zhang Liang was also speechless. He killed five flame spirits and four repeated fire talismans in one day, which made him very depressed.
Bei Xuanling, why don't you try again tomorrow? Anyway, there are only two days left?
"No, I'm not happy."
After a while, Zhang Liang found a flame spirit and approached it as quickly as possible. He launched a sword technique and quickly killed one with the black fish guarding it.
He has been practicing swordsmanship because as the number of people increases, the danger among the trialists becomes more and more dangerous.
However, Zhang Liang was a bit over the top and hit duplicate fire talismans many times in succession, which made him very depressed.
This time, Zhang Liang opened the fire talisman again, took a closer look, and suddenly felt happy. He got the fifth one.
"Haha! Okay, no fighting today."
Zhang Liang felt very comfortable, as if he had made his first comeback after kneeling ten times in a row, with the pride of a winner.
The third day. Through Zhang Liang's spirit insect report, the number of people who completed the first trial reached the five hundred mark.
Five hundred people seemed like a lot, but Zhang Liang knew that not many would make it out on the last day.
There were more than 3,600 people, and probably nearly 3,000 people died in the first trial, and they died in despair. It can be seen that this trial is quite cruel.
On the Fresh Fire Plains, battles became more and more frequent.
At first, some people tried to challenge the Fire Spirit alone, but they persisted for a hundred breaths, but were eventually defeated. After suffering heavy losses, they tried to escape. As a result, the flame spirit seemed to have identified this person, and pursued him all the way, and at an extremely fast speed.
In the end, after running for a full hour, the man was caught up and killed on the spot.
And in this process, no one helped this person.
After that, people began to form alliances in small groups, forming a hunting team with an average of five people.
But this kind of alliance will inevitably lead to disputes once it reaches the end.
Some people even formed a direct alliance and started robbing others.
Halfway through the third day.
Zhang Liang and Bei Xuanling took action twice without using the Immortal Spirit Technique or Yi Sword Technique. As a result, they obtained two duplicate fire talismans.
Zhang Liang is not in a hurry. He believes that the repeated fire talisman must have value, even if he doesn't know it now.
Just when Zhang Liang had almost rested and was about to look for the Fire Spirit, a spirit insect ran back.
The next moment, Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows. In the picture transmitted back through the spirit insect, Zhang Liang suddenly saw a flame spirit that was more than ten meters away.
Someone tried to trap the huge flame spirit with a demon weapon cage. As a result, the flame spirit violently punched the cage and exploded it with three punches.
The next moment, from a thousand meters away, a flaming spear shot out, exploding the person who had set up the demon weapon cage.
When he saw this flame spirit, Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had only one thought in his mind - "the only reward".
