In fact, after breaking into this volcanic secret realm, Zhang Liang felt that he had received enough opportunities, and he was already very satisfied.
If the trial ends here, Zhang Liang will feel that this is a good result.
However, if a third trial appeared, it would not be what he wanted. From the first trial to the second trial, the difficulty of the trial increased several times. There will be a third trial, and the difficulty will only be higher.
However, the stone tablet is right in front of you, so you naturally want to take a look.
When the two came to the stone tablet, they saw the words clearly written on the stone tablet: "The Third Trial Place, Flame Mountain."
Strength requirements: Foundation building period.
Trial content: Climb to the top of the Flame Mountain and complete the transformation of the fire demon spirit body.
Trial reward: Demon Fire Token.
The only reward: Vulcan body.
After passing this monument, the trial begins. Once the trial begins, it cannot be interrupted, and the trialists are not allowed to kill each other. Those who fail to pass the test within ten days will not be allowed to set foot here again for the rest of their lives.
Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but asked: "What is the Vulcan Body?"
Bei Xuanling shook his head: "I don't know, it's not mentioned in the book."
Zhang Liangliang was puzzled. The content of the trial seemed to be simpler than he thought. At least it did not mention what kind of enemies there would be. It only said that he had to climb to the top of the Flame Mountain to complete the transformation of the fire demon spirit body.
But, wouldn't it be possible to ignite the whole body with enough fire talismans and become a fire demon spirit body? Isn't this the effect of the fish-fire body refining technique?
Zhang Liang was not sure, so he just said: "I need to practice for a few days, and you can protect me."
"It's...master."
Bei Xuanling knew what Zhang Liang was going to do. He had snatched so many fire talismans before, and now it was time to put them to use. However, most of these fire talismans have no chance with me, but in this Flame Mountain, I may not have no chance.
Zhang Liang didn't care what Bei Xuanling thought, he took out hundreds of fire talismans with his backhand, and along with the operation of the fish-fire body refining technique, Zhang Liang's body burned with blazing flames in the blink of an eye. However, this time Zhang Liang did not need to use the fire spirit liquid, which made him feel happy. The fire spirit liquid was quite precious. If it was used for everything, it would not be enough.
I saw pure fire energy pouring out of each fire talisman and entering Zhang Liang's body.
Zhang Liang clearly felt that there was an inexplicable force trying to penetrate into his blood. This force was not burning, and even made him full of strength for a time.
In just one hour, Zhang Liang refined more than thirty fire talismans and completely ignited the blood fire in his left hand.
After another three hours, his legs were ignited with blood and fire.
In another two hours, Zhang Liang's torso was ignited with blood and fire.
At this point, Zhang Liang only has one head left that has not been lit, but he can already feel that his affinity with the blood and fire is rising rapidly. If using Breath of Fire once required nearly half of the demonic energy in his body, now he seems to only need to consume less than one-fifth, and the effect will be stronger.
However, just as Zhang Liang was about to continue lighting the divine fire, five more people walked out of the Fresh Fire Plain. The visitor was none other than Lan Yan, who had lost his way with Zhang Liang.
However, she now formed an alliance with Benimaru, and later met several powerful sirens and formed a team.
At this moment, Lan Yan and others looked at Zhang Liang and Bei Xuanling who were sitting cross-legged dozens of feet away from the Flame Mountain stone monument in surprise.
"Blood Shark and Bei Xuanling?"
A sharp look flashed in Benimaru's eyes, and a bold idea came to him.
He thought secretly in his heart that the Blood Shark's Demon Sword Vertical and Horizontal Technique was very powerful, so powerful that it was comparable to the Dou Zhan Technique. If you can capture this technique, you will definitely reach the top of the Hundred Demons Collection.
Moreover, this girl, Bei Xuanling, has a fairy spirit bead in her body! If only he could get Blood Shark's Demon Sword Versus Technique and Bei Xuanling's Fairy Bead. Then if he reaches the peak of foundation building in the future, the probability of being promoted to the Golden Core will be greatly increased, and he may become another Golden Core Demon of the Blue-backed Sky Ray Tribe for thousands of years.
Benimaru clenched his fist and looked at each other with several teammates around him. Everyone seemed to have the same idea at the same time.
They were all able to pass the second trial, so they knew what Zhang Liang was doing. He is absorbing the fire talisman, training the fire spirit demon body, and is about to complete it.
Previously, when Zhang Liang and Bei Xuanling plundered the Fresh Fire Plains, it was not that they didn't know about it, they just didn't want to participate.
Even for the later plan to hunt Zhang Liang, they also received an invitation from the Siren Army, but there were more wolves and less meat. Let’s not talk about whether they could hunt Zhang Liang. Even if they did, hundreds of people would rob two people. Chance, why should the benefit fall on me? By then, even if he succeeds, he will still have to fight with others, right?
Facts have proved that even a few hundred people hunting together could not capture or kill Zhang Liang and Bei Xuanling.
Hong Wan and the others were beginning to stir in their hearts, and Lan Yan had obviously noticed this strange atmosphere.
In fact, at that moment, she had not had this idea. But what she was confused about was, why did Zhang Liang practice so openly in front of this stone tablet? Isn't he afraid that someone will come with malicious intentions?
This was just one of them. She failed to understand Zhang Liang's intention.
But based on her brief interaction with Zhang Liang, he knew that this person was brave and resourceful, not limited to small gains, and would not take risks without thinking. This could be seen from the time he practiced in the blood spring. Obviously, the cultivation effect deep in the blood spring is better. Others may not dare to go deep, but for a strong man like Zhang Liang, it shouldn't be a big problem if he goes a little deeper.
Facts have proved that even if the fire beetle does attack in the end, it will be difficult to directly kill a character like Zhang Liang.
However, he was cautious at the beginning and was unwilling to go deep into the practice even if the effect was low. This shows that this person is not a reckless person.
Finally, it was her sixth sense that told her that there was something wrong with Bei Xuanling.
Zhang Liang is practicing. If he wants to take action, Bei Xuanling, a strong man who has perfectly transformed, will have plenty of opportunities. Although she was defeated in the Hundred Demons Festival, no one would underestimate her strength.
But now, Bei Xuanling was standing quietly behind Zhang Liang. Yes, it was just behind him, a few meters away. If Bei Xuanling had malicious intentions, even if Zhang Liang was powerful and physically strong, he might not be able to resist him, or at least he would be severely injured.
However, Bei Xuanling did not do this, and instead seemed a little respectful.
"has a problem."
Lan Yan quietly opened a few steps away from Hong Wan and the others, and with a thought in her heart, she directly sent a message to Zhang Liang: "Be careful, Hong Wan and the others are plotting something bad, and Bei Xuanling may not be able to stop them."
Unfortunately, Lan Yan's message fell into disarray and received no response.
She had no choice but to act according to the situation. Maybe Benimaru just thought about it and didn't dare to take action.
Just listening, Benimaru said: "Let's go over first and then talk."
After a while, several people came to the stone tablet. When they saw the third trial, their hearts trembled.
This is a trial, it’s too scary. I think more than 3,600 people started the trial, but how many are there now? There are not even 500 people in the entire Fresh Fire Plains. There may only be four hundred or less people left now. In just two trials, more than three thousand foundation-building demons were lost.
What is this concept?
It can be said that one-third of the entire foundation-building demons in the Hundred Demons Collection died in these two trials.
This does not include the previous beast wave. More than 7,600 of them came at the beginning. How many are left now? three hundred? Four hundred?
It can be said that this time Fang Hui has already made the Hundred Demon Gathering miserable. The survival rate of the Foundation-Building Demon is less than half. If he goes through this third trial again, the Foundation-Building Demon from the Hundred Demon Gathering may not survive. It's no different than being wiped out.
However, after Benimaru and others read the words on the stone tablet, although they were a little afraid of the third trial, they actually still had a little hope deep down in their hearts. What if they became it, what if they got the Vulcan Body? Woolen cloth? Even the legendary fish and fire body refining technique is just an appetizer, so how magical will this unheard-of fire body be?
Benimaru thought for a while and did not dare to attack Zhang Liang who was practicing directly. Instead, he asked: "Princess Xuanling, Brother Blood Shark came very early! Is Brother Blood Shark a master of magic?"
As Benimaru spoke, he sent a message to several people around him: "Everyone, take action together. If there is an accident, cross the stone monument immediately. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot flout the rules of the secret realm."
Lan Yan also received Hongwan's reminder, but he didn't show off.
Suddenly, two bright red thorns shot out from Benimaru's arms.
The moment Hong Wan took action, another man from the Red Star tribe opened his third eye between his eyebrows, and shot a laser beam at Zhang Liang without any hesitation.
"Bang~"
The next moment, a spiritual shell appeared around Zhang Liang, blocking the almost inevitable laser for him.
However, although the laser was blocked, Benimaru's two sharp thrusts hit the spot where the laser hit. The three forces overlapped, and the Lingbei shadow opened a hole with a "click".
When Bei Xuanling saw this, he immediately shouted loudly. After a slight stalemate, Lingbei Xuying opened a hole the size of a fist.
Bei Xuanling had quick eyes and quick hands. He reached for a golden fork in his hair and flicked it with one finger. Fortunately, he shot down the two sharp thorns that were about to hit him.
Benimaru: "Bei Xuanling, I have broken through the middle stage of foundation building, and you are no longer my opponent."
After saying that, Benimaru opened his mouth and spit out a red sharp thorn, which was wrapped with blood and demonic energy spurted out. It was his natal poisonous thorn, which had been gestated for many years but had never been used.
The key is that there are five people on the other side, and one person besides Lan Yan, armed with a long spear, rushes out brazenly, and stabs Zhang Liang from the punch hole.
"Fairy magic, wheel shell."
I saw five different colors of light suddenly appearing in front of my eyes, forming a wall of spirit shell shields.
"Bang~"
"The five-color halo exploded. Bei Xuanling took several steps back and barely blocked Benimaru's blow, but the wheel shell was also completely blown to pieces."
Unfortunately, Bei Xuanling had tried his best to defend Zhang Liang. However, with her passive defense, she was ultimately unable to defeat the four-handed opponent with her two fists. This side barely blocked Benimaru's natal sharp thorn, and the gun-wielding sea monster had already penetrated Lingbei's shadow with a spear and stabbed Zhang Liang.
"Brush~"
At this critical moment, a flash of sharp sword light bloomed from the shadow of Lingbei and shot out from the damaged barrier.
"Pfft~"
The gun-wielding sea monster was horrified when he saw this. When he wanted to retreat, it was already too late. A fiery red sword flashed in front of his eyes. At this moment, he felt that the power in his body receded like a tide, and he couldn't even move. both are not.
When Benimaru saw this, he was immediately horrified. The knife was so fast, it was comparable to the Mantis Slash of the Mantis Shrimp Clan.
However, he did not panic. He originally had the idea of fighting if he could fight, and if it was difficult to fight or lost, he would directly retreat to the third trial.
At this moment, when he witnessed the terrifying sword light, half of his feet had already stepped behind the stone monument.
However, at this moment, he suddenly found that he could not lift his other foot. When he looked down, he found that it was entangled with countless tentacles. This made him feel horrified and shouted: "Lan Yan, what are you doing?" ?”
Lan Yan is originally an anemone banshee, and she is the second place in the Hundred Demons Festival. In terms of strength and realm, she is no worse than Hong Wan.
Benimaru was puzzled. He had actually been paying attention to Zhang Liang and Lan Yan, or in other words, he had been paying attention to the top ten strongest players in the Hundred Demons Festival. Therefore, he saw the way Zhang Liang ignored Lan Yan. As for me, I have been paying special attention to Lan Yan these days. Why would the woman betray her?
"Brush~"
Benimaru's reaction was not unpleasant. At this moment, he directly transformed into his true body. With sharp fins, he spun in the air and chopped off hundreds of tentacles, trying to rush into the third trial.
During the struggle, he inadvertently glanced at Zhang Liang's location with his peripheral vision. But immediately he felt horrified because Zhang Liang was no longer there.
"Are you looking for me?"
Benimaru was horrified. The sound came from right below his body, but he didn't dare to look, and he didn't have time to look. He didn't want to be killed because of a millisecond of hesitation.
"Hula~"
As the high temperature swept through, Benimaru finally rushed into the third trial. He didn't even have time to look back. He felt the state of his body for the first time. Except for the fish tail that was ignited by the flames, everything else was still intact.
"Huh~"
"so close."
Benimaru let out a long breath, and couldn't help but admire his decisiveness. This was the first time he felt Zhang Liang's terror, and the omen of death had not disappeared even now.
"I didn't expect that this fish and fire body refining technique could be interrupted at any time. It's too dangerous."
But before Benimaru could be happy for too long, he discovered that the scorching heat on the fish's tail not only did not subside, but began to spread towards his huge body. If only one-tenth of his body was ignited just now, in the blink of an eye, one-fifth of his body began to burn.
"Impossible, this is impossible. Why can't this flame be extinguished?"
Hong Wan finally realized something was wrong, turned around suddenly, and saw Zhang Liang inserting his hand into the head of the strong man from the Red Star Clan. The whole head was dripping with blood. It seemed that he had survived.
Zhang Liang just looked at him calmly.
Benimaru was horrified. He thought that there might be a slight gap between him and Zhang Liang, but it would never be huge. But now it seems like, why is this gap so big? Almost in the blink of an eye, the two teammates except Lan Yan were killed almost instantly.
Benimaru looked horrified and tried to extinguish the blood fire with demonic energy, but no matter what he did, the blood fire still spread rapidly on his body.
Even when Benimaru tried to explode the power of Qi and blood to suppress the blood fire, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, causing the blood fire to suddenly jump ten feet and completely envelope him in one fell swoop.
At this moment, how could Hongwan still understand?
This blood-fire burns basically the qi and blood. If the qi-blood does not disappear, the blood-fire will not stop.
If, if he could have discovered it earlier and cut off the smaller half of his body, he might still be alive. But now, his whole body was stunned, leaving him completely confused and completely panicked.
"The Breath of Fire inheritance?"
Benimaru roared out, and Lan Yan also immediately thought of the Breath of Fire inheritance on the Fresh Fire Plains. He couldn't help but be moved for a moment. This flame is too terrifying. Once it is contaminated, it will burn the blood. How can this flame be burned? beat? Just a little spark could cost your life?
At this moment, Hong Wan was full of regrets, why did he want to covet the Demon Sword Zongheng Jue? Why do you want those fairy beads?
At the same time, he also hated that why would Lan Yan rebel when he could rush into the third trial?
"Lan Yan, you traitor."
Amid Benimaru's shrill roar, Lan Yan smiled leisurely: "You and I are not from the same family, so how can we be traitors? Besides, I was originally in alliance with the blood shark, but we just got separated temporarily."
Hong Wan was burned by the blood fire, his energy and blood were deficient, his whole body was unbearably hot, and his flesh and blood were burnt. He immediately gritted his teeth and shouted at Zhang Liang: "Blood Shark, I am the peerless genius of the Blue-backed Ray Clan. My life is worth more than my death. If you spare my life, my clan will repay you a hundred times."
"Repay a hundredfold?"
Zhang Liang's voice was cold: "Unfortunately, you are not the young master of the Blue-backed Sky Ray Clan, so I don't think you are very valuable."
"Young Master and I are sworn brothers, he will save me."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it will be a good thing for your brother if you die."
Zhang Liang did not want to seek skin from a tiger for this so-called repayment a hundred times. This kind of greed and greed, once the blue-backed stingray clan doesn't care about this person, then if he rashly trades, won't he end up losing his life?
After all, this Hongwan was not Bei Xuanling. She was a serious princess and the heir to the great power of Beibei Sea Territory.
"Ah~"
"I'm not willing~"
Under the witness of Zhang Liang and others, Hong Wan lasted for more than sixty breaths before he collapsed and was burned alive.
He may not have thought that his majestic blue-backed stingray clan's peerless talent, the third place in the Hundred Demons Festival, would die in such a way, and end up in a strange secret realm.
After Hongwan fell, Zhang Liang looked at Lan Yan: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you too?"
Lan Yan smiled and said: "There is no reason! I don't have many fire talismans on me, and I don't have any martial arts or magic that you should be afraid of, let alone harmless to you. Why are you killing me?"
Zhang Liang: "Why do you want to help me?"
Lan Yan did not answer Zhang Liang immediately, but looked at Bei Xuanling and said, "How come you are happy if she forms an alliance with you, but you reject others thousands of miles away if I form an alliance with you?"
Zhang Liang did not answer Lan Yan's question, but said: "Give me a reason, otherwise it will be difficult for me to understand your behavior. I will not thank you, and I will not even rule out the possibility of doing something to you."
Hearing this, Lan Yan curled her lips and said, "You insist on a reason?"
Zhang Liang: "Yes."
Lan Yan sighed slightly, and finally compromised: "Okay! It doesn't hurt to tell you. Because, Shadu, you got the Demon Sword Zongheng Jue from him, right?"
Zhang Liang's pupils shrank slightly: "What else do you know?"
Lan Yan: "This person once stayed in my ancestor's territory and formed a relationship. So I know that he ended up going to Qianli Coral Reef, and my ancestor went with him. As a result... they never came back. Can come back."
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment: "So, this is why you want to form an alliance with me?"
Lan Yan: "You inherited the Demon Sword Zongheng Jue, which means you got his inheritance. But this person should be dead, because even if he was promoted to the Golden Core Realm, he should be dead by now. And in the Foundation Establishment Stage, how can it be possible to go deep thousands of miles Looking for secrets on the coral reef? What are the chances of getting the inheritance of Shadu? Therefore, you can only come from the coral reef thousands of miles away. Isn't a peerless genius who came out of the Jedi worthy of my special regard? "
Zhang Liang took a deep look at Lan Yan, then looked at Bei Xuanling: "I will continue to practice."
After saying that, Zhang Liang was not in a hurry to collect the fallen man's stored spirit shells, but continued to practice.
Finally, two hours later, under the witness of Bei Xuanling and Lan Yan, Zhang Liang set his head on fire, and blood and fire burned throughout his body.
During this practice, Zhang Liang consumed a total of 192 fire talismans. Compared with the difficulty of obtaining fire talismans in the Fresh Fire Plains, such a number of fire talismans was quite rare.
It was at this moment that Zhang Liang woke up from his practice, but his expression was slightly strange.
It stands to reason that with blood and fire igniting his whole body, he should have mastered the fish-fire body refining technique at this moment and become a fire demon spirit body.
In fact, it was not the case. Zhang Liang clearly felt that although the blood and fire melted into the qi and blood and flowed throughout the body, there was something missing. It was a feeling of being completely integrated with oneself. It was different from now. Now it seemed that the body was just forcibly filled with blood and fire, but it was not completely integrated. Therefore, when used, the power seemed to be great, but it was different from the so-called There should be a big gap between the fire demon spirit body.
From this point of view, the third trial should be a trial in which blood and fire are completely integrated with oneself. If one completes this trial, he will definitely become a fire demon spirit body.
"I see."
Lan Yan was curious: "Blood Shark, have you become a fire demon spirit body?"
Zhang Liang shook his head: "No, otherwise the third trial would have no meaning."
After thinking about it, Zhang Liang suddenly took out the remaining 57 fire charms on his body. Since he had already mastered the fish-fire body refining technique, these fire charms were useless to him. He casually threw the fire talisman to Bei Xuanling and said, "It's yours. The fire talismans on these two people on the ground are also for you, and the storage talisman is for me."
Bei Xuanling was surprised and said: "Give it to me?"
Lan Yan was stunned: "Why not give it to me?"
Zhang Liang looked at Lan Yan: "She has recognized me as her master and signed a master-servant contract. If you are willing, I can give you half of it."
"Uh~"
"ah?"
Lan Yan looked at Bei Xuanling in shock. Seeing that the latter's face turned red, as if what Zhang Liang said was true, she couldn't help but feel shocked. The princess of Beibei Sea Territory actually recognized someone else as her master? Is Bei Xuanling crazy?
