When he regained consciousness, Qian Yixiao saw his companions surrounding him at first sight. He subconsciously shrank his neck, then realized what he was doing and said angrily: "Why are you surrounding me?"
In front of him, Kong Qixin, Zhu Chaoqun, and Cheng Baihe were standing on the shore not far away, looking at the lake. Hu Zhebin, Youquan, and Qian Yixin were standing next to him and staring at him.
Seeing the look of embarrassment on his face, Youquan scratched his face with his hand and said with a smile: "How long does it take for you to wake up?"
"What do you mean?" Qian Yixiao was startled. Hu Zhebin smiled and said nothing. Qian Yixin suppressed his laughter and said in a low voice: "Cousin, you were the second to go in, but the last to come out. of."
"So what?" Qian Yixiao asked angrily.
Before anyone could answer, Qian Yixiao suddenly felt a pain in his head, and the memories that he had not remembered for a while because of the pain in his brain suddenly emerged.
It turned out that after Shi Chishang entered the corridor, Qian Yixiao immediately expressed his intention to pass the level second, and then proudly declared that he would score higher than Shi Chishang and be the first to pass the third level of the corridor.
But he never expected that the evil thoughts and chants in the corridor would be endless. He had just repelled one wave, and soon another wave came, and the intensity was also rising. Finally, he was swallowed up by the darkness in exhaustion and lost consciousness. .
Angry and angry, Qian Yixiao subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but when he looked into Youquan's big watery eyes, he suddenly stirred, and the violent flames that had filled his chest were swept away.
The seemingly cute little girl in front of me is not a good-for-nothing like Hu Zhebin or Qian Yixin. She is as evil as that guy Hunyan, and is essentially a freak of the water spirit of the Styx. If he really dares to draw his sword , it is estimated that he will be pressed to the ground and rubbed in less than three rounds.
Silently releasing the handle of the knife, Qian Yixiao half-squinted his eyes, as if falling into a trance, and ignored Youquan who was chattering close to him.
At the same time, Kong Qixin, Zhu Chaoqun, and Cheng Baihe were standing by the lake shore, talking in low voices.
"It's the breath of the soul flame," Kong Qixin said solemnly, holding the jade slip, "It's just the content inside..."
"You can't tell whether it's true or false, right?" Cheng Baihe asked.
Kong Qi sighed and looked at Zhu Chaoqun again. He saw that this famous intelligent and talented woman from Jiangnan Province was gazing into the depths of the Blood Lake with a relaxed expression, as if she was enjoying a spring outing in the lake. He couldn't help but wonder: "Junior sister Zhu, what do you think?" ?”
"Just listen to Soul Flame," Zhu Chaoqun smiled slightly and said softly, "We have all tested it. This jade slip is indeed the message left by Soul Flame. Don't forget, he had refined the high-level materials of the empire before. Is it normal for the soul to know the situation of this level in advance?"
Kong Qixin hesitated and said: "But if it is a trap..."
"Do we have anything worth setting up a trap for?" Zhu Chaoqun asked with a chuckle.
Kong Qi's heart couldn't help but froze. Not only him, but also Cheng Baihe, who had always been conceited and arrogant, had a somewhat unnatural expression on his face.
yes! Although they have a big background, can they be bigger than the Blood Red Empire that has dominated the Santu River Basin for hundreds of millions of years?
Furthermore, this is Qiuxian Mansion, which used to be an important base for the higher-ups of Divine Blood City to seize new bodies. Even though times have changed and the remaining higher-ups have died one by one over the years, the restrictions here are still extremely strong, and outsiders cannot It's impossible to do anything here.
As for the person who said the tampering was a remnant of the Blood Red Empire? Nowadays, Zhu Chaoqun and others are just high-level cannon fodder at the Ming Lord level. If there are really remnants of the empire who want to attack them, why bother to go to such trouble and just attack them directly.
While several people were talking, Qian Yixiao, Hu Zhebin, Qian Yixin, and Youquan had already walked over noisily. They were seen standing here muttering nonstop, having just eaten at Youquan's place. Qian Yixiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said angrily: "What are you doing sneaking around here?"
"Shut up!" Cheng Baihe glared at him, then ignored the other person's blushing face and said solemnly, "In that case, I will try it first. If there is no problem, you can follow me!"
"What's wrong?" Qian Yixiao was so angry at the glare that he just rolled up his sleeves and wanted to quarrel, when he heard Cheng Baihe's deep voice and asked subconsciously.
However, Bai He ignored him at all, and the dark energy circulated around him for several weeks. The long sword on his waist was unsheathed, and then it rose into the air and flew straight towards the depths of the blood lake.
"What's going on?" Qian Yixiao said in confusion as he watched Cheng Baihe fly away.
"Let Qixin explain it to you later!" Zhu Chaoqun said casually, pretending not to see the "?" expression on Kong Qixin's face, and observed for a long time, until Cheng Baihe had entered the depths of the blood lake and could no longer be seen. She just relaxed a little and led everyone to fly towards the blood lake together.
Along the way, the listless Kong Qixin also narrated what happened, and handed the jade slip on which Shi Chishang left a message to several people.
"There is no danger in the Blood Lake. You can enter it at will."
Reading Shi Chishang's message, Hu Zhebin wondered: "How did he know?"
"God knows!" Youquan put his hands in his pockets with a displeased look on his face, "Hun Yan has secrets and doesn't even tell me, that's too much!"
This so-called "there is no danger in the blood lake" is the information Shi Chishang obtained from Solir's memory.
As mentioned before, the larvae of the magical larvae like to eat blood coral, so any force that raises the larvae of the magical larvae will plant a large number of blood corals.
However, something unexpected happened that year, and the huge Divine Blood Emperor City was sealed for thousands of years. Naturally, there was no one to take care of the Qiuxian Mansion.
Over time, in just over a hundred years, the densely packed blood corals have been devoured. In the following thousands of years, the huge number of magical larvae had nothing to eat, and even had to kill each other, so that now the city of divine blood has been unsealed. , all the magical larvae in the lake have already died due to lack of food.
Along the way, as Shi Chi Shang said, there was no danger.
Except for the bloody stench of the lake that makes people sick, there is nothing strange in the Blood Lake. Even if those peculiar smells are eliminated, the vast Blood Lake is still a unique scenery.
About half a day later, the group finally caught up with Cheng Baihe, who had set off first, and saw the outline of the island in the middle of the lake in the far distance.
Due to its huge size, even if people are far apart, they can only see the outline of the island, but as far as the eye can see, the vague outline is connected to the sky and the earth, running across the left and right ends, as if it is not an island. It is a vast continent.
At this time, under the gaze of several people, a huge monster with a height of tens of thousands of feet was rolling wantonly on the huge island in the middle of the lake in the distance. Endless laws and rhythms surged and spread from its body, illusory gods, charms, seizing, The power of the Great Dao of Shock shrouded the inside and outside of the island, and the overwhelming and terrifying pressure turned into a storm visible to the naked eye, sweeping crazily in all directions.
"How terrifying!" Hu Zhebin clicked his tongue, "Isn't this level of coercion at least the peak of the Hades Emperor?"
"The Peak of the Underworld Emperor..." Qian Yixiao, who has always been unruly and unruly, rarely showed a look of disappointment, "Is Soul Flame already so powerful?"
Everyone was silent, staring blankly at the figure who was fighting with the huge ferocious beast. That figure was so familiar, and it turned out to be Shi Chishang who had been missing for a long time.
At the same time, Shi Chishang, who was engaged in a fierce battle on the island in the center of the lake, was far less beautiful than a few people thought. It could even be said that he was still a bit embarrassed at this time.
After leaving the jade slip and entering the Blood Lake, Shi Chishang traveled unimpeded and soon arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. He also encountered the beast that protected the island in the middle of the lake, a mature magical insect.
Facing this insect whose combat power was comparable to the peak of the Hades Emperor, Shi Chishang naturally did not dare to neglect him. There was no one around, and he was also firing on all cylinders. Thirteen avenue marks floated up and down, his soul light was majestic, and he had a divine sword intent. , Liberate the Violent Flame and other trump cards were activated one after another, and they fought with the zerg.
When he first entered the City of the Divine Blood Emperor, Shi Chishang was affected by the restrictions in the city and his strength was weakened to 60%. Moreover, everyone on the side could only dare to use the two magical powers of fire and light, which further reduced his strength.
However, along the way, Shi Chishang gradually analyzed the source and structure of the ban in the city based on his insight into the avenue.
Although it is still unable to completely offset it, with the results of the analysis so far, he has been able to retain 80% of his strength with the help of the only avenue.
This 80% is the 80% that he has in the late stage of the Mingshi of his apparent rank, but the 80% that he can fight with the young supreme in his peak stage.
On the island in the center of the lake, the magical insect roared loudly, its sound was like "whoosh". The facial features on the man's face were ferocious, and blood oozed from the seven orifices. As the insect's body, which was more than 50,000 feet long, twisted hard, pieces with strange patterns appeared. The translucent scales jingled, and the change in tone also drove the surge of dark power in its body, forming a huge realm that enveloped the entire island in the middle of the lake.
In the realm, the raging radiance of the illusory god envelops endless illusions, like illusory worlds embedded in reality, constantly shrouding Shi Chishang, trying to forcibly replace his cognition and distort reality. understanding of the world.
Charm, coercion, phantom god, seize, and other great avenues originating from the depths of the bloodline of the Charming Insect were activated one after another, evolving into a halo of madly expanding avenues, locking onto Shi Chi Shang's true spirit, and attacking continuously. .
Facing the almost crazy offensive of the Charming Insects, Shi Chishang had one thought in his mind. With the help of violent flames, sword intent, and soul power, the only avenue condensed into a gorgeous halo that enveloped itself, and all the oncoming enemies All the magic avenues disappeared the moment they touched the halo.
Even if the power of the avenue inspired by the blood of the magic insect has reached level ten or above, it still cannot break through the halo defense built by the only avenue.
After fighting fiercely with this magical insect for a long time, the power of life and death accumulated in Shi Chishang's body had reached its peak. He was about to use the light of life and death counterattack when he suddenly sensed the arrival of Zhu Chaoqun and others in the distance. He had to give up this idea and turned to And continued to fight against the magic insect with Burning Yang Yan.
"What a pity! If they had come a little later, I could have killed this big guy!"
Shi Chishang secretly regretted it, and also looked forward to finding a secret method of concealment, such as the blood mist in the blood formation in the second level, which could shield his surroundings, conceal the mysteries of the world, and prevent others from prying.
Just as he was thinking, his heart suddenly moved slightly. He subconsciously looked at the broken mirror in his hand. He saw that this mirror fragment, which had been silent since he got it, like a dead object, emitted weak Tao rhyme fluctuations for the first time. Although it was not Every trace of it was captured accurately by Shi Chishang.
When he analyzed the core of the Taoist rhyme, Shi Chishang couldn't help but be startled. Then he seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
simulation!
Imitate all things in the world and imitate the formless and impermanent!
