"This is a game played by high-ranking people. Every eight to ten years, they will distribute a hundred copies of this treasure map. As long as you can follow the directions of the treasure map to the destination, you will get a reward."
Looking through the treasure map in his hand, Shi Chishang looked slightly stern: "If you reach the destination, you can get the first reward. If you pass the test in the front yard, you can get the second reward. If you break through the test in the corridor, you can get the third reward. Landing on the island in the middle of the Blood Lake will give you the fourth test, and defeating the guards on the island in the middle of the lake will give you the ultimate test."
"There are five tests?" Hu Zhebin looked excited, "Sounds pretty good!"
"I estimate that these rewards are only helpful to those in the Underworld," Shi Chishang shook his head, "For those in high positions, they are just games in their free time, otherwise the destination would not be placed outside the city. It should be located in the middle city or inner city.”
"No matter what, let's go and take a look first!" Zhu Chaoqun said softly, "Anyway, our mission is just to find these locations. If we want to explore specifically, it will be a mission for the next few batches."
Regardless of whether Zhu Chaoqun or the others are on the list of geniuses, in the end, they are still at the level of the Underworld Lord and can only be regarded as relatively big cannon fodder. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, their core mission is to find these places with inheritance, assessment, and resources. , the specific task of deciphering the ruins and accepting the test still has to be left to the Pluto Emperor level behind.
After all, they had already crossed the stone bridge, and it was impossible to look back. Now everyone followed the guidance of the treasure map and headed forward.
After crossing the river, there is a lane with complex terrain and twists and turns. Although it is said to be an alleyway, it is actually a thousand feet wide. After all, blood cultivators like to raise blood beasts, and blood beasts are extremely large, so even the outer alleyways are extremely wide.
Along the way, they also encountered several blood corpses and blood beasts. Fortunately, Shi Chishang's soul consciousness enveloped the surroundings at all times. Whenever he found something was wrong, he would immediately use illusions to cover his whereabouts, so in the end, the journey was smooth and smooth. Arrive at destination.
The destination is located deep in a huge alleyway, at the end of a dead end road. It is a large-scale mansion. The front is more than a hundred feet high. The left and right doorposts are painted with dense and strange patterns in dark green paint. In front of the door are placed There are eight carvings with human faces and insect bodies. They only have one hand and one foot. They look weird. The human face has ferocious features and grinning teeth. It is not an auspicious thing at first glance.
Shi Chishang glanced at the eaves. There were densely packed strips of objects similar to intestines hanging below the eaves. Even though the Divine Blood Emperor City had been sealed for thousands of years, the strips were still bloody, with little stinking drops of blood dripping from time to time. .
"What's wrong?" Cheng Baihe asked when he saw Shi Chi Shang frowning.
"It looks like someone has already entered." Shi Chishang touched his nose and replied.
Shi Chishang, who had mastered the avenue of life, clearly sensed that the blood stains on the strip of objects clearly still showed the vitality that had not yet been exhausted. In other words, it was just stained not long ago, rather than the city stained before the seal. of blood.
Hu Zhebin laughed and said: "The City of Divine Blood is so big, I thought we wouldn't run into anyone else until the Pluto Emperor's army came in later."
"Maybe they are from our Yin Yang Sect," Qian Yixin said with a smile, "After all, we all chose the same direction to enter the city."
"I hope so!" Shi Chishang murmured softly, and quickly came to the door of the mansion. He looked up at the plaque and saw that it was indeed the destination name written on the treasure map. He then raised the treasure map with a look on his face. Wei Ning, read out the secret key in the picture, "Vladimiso!"
Buzz! The moment Chi Shang finished reciting the secret key, the eight sculptures with human faces and insect bodies in front of the door began to tremble slightly, and a cracking sound was heard. Cracks appeared on the surface of their heads out of thin air, and everyone was shocked. After looking at it, I realized that there were some kind of cracks there, and they were clearly blood-colored pupils one after another.
"How disgusting!" Seeing those densely packed eyes, Cheng Baihe couldn't help but frown.
Shi Chishang also felt slightly unwell, and at this moment the eyes on the sculptured heads turned and looked over. Almost instinctively, Shi Chishang raised the treasure map in his hand.
Uh-huh! In an instant, those pupils shot out blood-red beams of light, accurately hitting the treasure map. As the blood poured into it, the originally plain treasure map was suddenly filled with a large glow, and every trace of it was filled with light. Lines of iron-painted gold-hook-like handwriting gradually emerged.
"If you pass the first test, each person will receive a bottle of Xuanming Blood Essence..."
Just as Shi Chishang read out the contents of the handwriting, he saw the eight statues suddenly opening their mouths and spitting out a ball of blood, roaring and flying towards the eight people.
Shi Chishang stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and sure enough, he took out a crystal bottle from the blood in front of him. The transparent bottle contained blood-red liquid, mixed with strands of ice-white flocculent sediment. At first glance, It looks like impurities, but in fact it is wisps of mysterious ghost energy.
"A whole bottle of Xuanming Blood Essence," Zhu Chaoqun weighed the weight of the crystal bottle in his hand, with a bit of joy in his delicate eyes, "it's about three ounces, whether it's used to refine weapons or temper your body. It has excellent results.”
"You've made a lot of money!" Kong Qixin hid the crystal bottle with a wealth-obsessed look on his face and said happily, "I didn't expect that just by getting to the door, there would be such a good reward. If you pass the next few levels, maybe the rewards will be even richer. !”
Realizing that everyone was full of joy, Shi Chishang felt inexplicably depressed. For some reason, perhaps because he had mastered the way of insight, he secretly felt that there was some kind of crisis in the mansion, but if he was allowed to look carefully I went to sense it, but found nothing.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Chishang concentrated his mind, secretly ran the only avenue, washed his body carefully to make sure it was OK, and then slowly walked into the mansion holding the treasure map.
Crossing the threshold, what caught Shi Chishang's eyes was a wide front yard. Countless dark green locust trees were planted in front of the vermilion walls on both sides. There was a huge formation in the central open space. There was thick blood-colored smoke, and bloody corpses were looming in the mist.
"It seems to be the second test," Shi Chishang secretly used his soul consciousness to analyze the reality and reality in the formation, and frowned, "Which of you knows the formation?"
Seeing several people looking over, Zhu Chaoqun smiled helplessly: "I don't quite understand."
"Hey, hey, hey! Why don't you look at me?" Kong Qi shook his feather fan displeasedly, "Have you forgotten my family's bloodline magical power?"
Cheng Baihe's eyes brightened, he reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's right! The five-color dark light of your Kong family's bloodline can be used in all things, hurry up! Whether we can pass the test or not depends on you!"
Smiling triumphantly at a few people, Kong Qixin put away his feather fan and quickly came to the blood array. Fortunately, he also knew the danger here and did not take it carelessly. Instead, he was extremely vigilant.
Kong Qi was gathering strength for a long time, and five fan-like light beams suddenly appeared behind him, covered with countless eye-like spots. As his dark power flowed, those eye-like spots were all full of dark light, and soon this The densely packed eye-like spots all opened, and thousands of five-color dark lights roared out, brushing towards the blood formation ahead like a tide.
Silently, at the edge of the blood formation, the illusory formations that formed the formation gradually shook and slowly disintegrated under the wash of the five-color dark light. The blood-colored smoke in them also quietly overflowed and slowly dissipated. .
Staring at the five-color dark light that washed back and forth like a tidal wave, Shi Chishang's eyes narrowed slightly. This is the bloodline magical power that the Peacock clan is famous for, the five-color light!
Whether it is the Peacock King in the Buddhist world or the Nine Netherworld Bird in the ghost world, its five-color light has the power to sweep away all things.
At this moment, he can sense more than seven kinds of Tao rhymes such as annihilation, disintegration, chaos, and crushing with the remote sensing of the insight into the Tao. These are just the Tao rhymes inherent in his blood. Even if Kong Qixin has not comprehended these Tao, he can still rely on them. Bloodline magical powers can be used easily.
At the same time, when the five-color dark light continued to pour into the blood formation, Kong Qixin's expression gradually changed from relaxed and solemn at the beginning, and as time passed, his face slowly became pale. , even a little scared.
Seeing that 70% of his dark energy had been consumed, but he still only disintegrated some areas on the edge, Kong Qixin couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and shouted: "It's over, the energy of this blood array is too huge, I can't finish it!" "
"You guys retreat!" Shi Chishang also realized that the situation was not good and quickly signaled for everyone to retreat. He picked up a female disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall and walked forward quickly. He grabbed Kong Qixin and dragged her backwards, then threw the female disciple forward. .
boom! The moment Kong Qixin was pulled away, the five-color dark light that had lost the energy to maintain it immediately dissipated. The blood array that had been washed away for a long time seemed to have bottomed out, and the billowing blood burst out from the disintegration point, drowning the man. Female disciple of Foreign Affairs Hall.
As the blood light swept across, the miserable scream that the female disciple had time to let out suddenly stopped. Her flesh and blood melted, her bones were shattered, and her soul was gone in an instant.
"What a fierce formation!" Shi Chishang muttered and put down Kong Qixin, completely ignoring the resentful looks from Zhang Xin and the two girls next to him.
"It seems that we can't take tricks, we can only do it forcefully!" Qian Yixiao held out the shadow blade, his eyes becoming more and more crazy, "I'll try it first!"
"Cousin, be careful!" Qian Yixin whispered.
Qian Yixiao waved his hand disapprovingly, and then jumped into the blood formation.
Shi Chishang hung a ray of soul consciousness on Qian Yixiao, and took advantage of him to enter the battle, silently running the three avenues of insight, falsehood, and truth. Then the blood mist gradually "thinned" in his field of vision, allowing him to reluctantly See clearly the situation in the array.
In the blood array, there were a total of one hundred and eight blood corpses standing, each exuding the blood evil pressure of the Half-Step Underworld Emperor. The rich blood evil turned into strands and spread out, condensing out of thin air. Like chains of Gang Qi, they wrap around the surface of the bloody corpses, which in turn increases their defense and strength.
At this time, seven bloody corpses had already formed a formation and attacked Qian Yixiao, who had just entered the formation.
Shi Chishang and the others didn't know that this place was extremely famous in ancient times, when the Blood Red Empire was at its peak, and it was the best way for the civilian class to rise and build momentum.
The name of this house is Vladimiso, which means the House of Seekers. There are more than 1,600 houses in the City of Divine Blood, evenly distributed in every neighborhood outside the city.
Everyone who comes with a treasure map and can pass at least three tests will have their identities transmitted to the desks of the leaders of the major forces in Divine Blood City through the formation in the courtyard.
Even if you can pass the five levels and defeat the guards of the final lake island, you can even be summoned by the emperor and receive massive rewards.
