thump!
The burning pain he imagined did not come.
If you ignore the crackling sounds around her, Yuan Jing feels more like she has fallen into a hot spring.
She opened her eyes carefully, only to see a corpse floating in front of her, with an unusually ferocious expression, as if she had suffered great pain during her lifetime.
"ah!"
She screamed in fright and almost couldn't hold on to the "Yuan" character. She hurriedly paddled through the lava and retreated. She had just retreated two feet when her back hit another cold corpse.
Yuan Jing immediately had goosebumps all over her body and did not dare to retreat.
She raised her head stiffly, and then she saw countless corpses floating densely on the surrounding magma. A rough count, no less than a thousand.
"hiss……"
Yuan Jing took a breath of air and turned pale, but she was not at a loss.
Along the way, her character has grown significantly. Although such a scene was terrifying, it was not as shocking as the shock it brought to Zou Lian when she was swallowed by the dragon demon.
She quickly glanced around and saw Xiang Shen flipping something with his head down not far to the left. She quickly pushed aside the corpse in front of her and leaned over.
As the distance got closer, Yuan Jing saw clearly that what was piled in front of Xiang Yu was not the volcanic rocks she thought, but a pile of corpses.
She gritted her teeth, crawled out of the magma, walked to Xiang Shu, and inadvertently glanced at a corpse next to her, her face suddenly changed slightly, "Sun Jingwen?"
Xiang Shen paused and glanced at the body on the ground, "Do you recognize it?"
Yuan Jing bit her lip and nodded slightly, "The Sun family is a small cultivator family in Xitian City. It is not well-known. I only met them twice at the previous banquet of the city lord."
Xiang Shen nodded slightly and continued to turn over the pile of corpses in silence.
There were so many corpses in the magma. After checking them one by one, she saw many familiar faces, but she couldn't name them.
At least two thousand of the Dongzhou monks who came in from Xitian City died here.
How many of these two thousand people are here for the inheritance of the Tomb of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor? How many of them came to save her?
She didn't know, and she didn't want to know.
She didn't owe Dongzhou anything, and it wasn't her who killed these people, but the mastermind behind the tomb of Emperor Tianlong.
However, this feeling of being used by others and forced to bear a share of karma is really frustrating.
Is it the resurrected ancient god who is behind this?
He attracted tens of thousands of monks to this place just to kill? Or... seeking something beneficial from these people?
However, these corpses' vitality and blood were intact, and their souls were naturally extinguished, without losing anything.
There is one more mystery in my heart.
Xiang Shu became more and more silent and turned over the corpse much faster.
Yuan Jing noticed that something was wrong with Xiang Shu's expression, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in her heart.
Although Sister Li has many secrets, her heart is pure and kind. Seeing so many people die here, she must be sad for them.
Thinking of this, she no longer felt scared when she looked at the corpses in front of her. She got up and moved forward.
"Sister Li, let me help you."
It was already two hours after all the corpses were inspected.
Xiang Shu sat down on a piece of volcanic rock floating on the lava, stretched out his hand and touched the "Yuan" character on his chest.
The slightly dim word "Yuan" immediately became bright again.
Yuan Jing followed suit and sat down against Xiang Shu.
She carefully observed Xiang Shen and saw that her tense expression had relaxed, then she asked, "Sister Li, what are you doing turning over these corpses?"
Xiang Shen was silent for a moment and said softly: "I am confirming whether there are any old friends among these corpses. If so, I will collect the corpses for them."
Yuan Jing looked moved and said guiltily: "I took the liberty..."
Xiang Shu shook his head, "I didn't find it."
Yuan Jing was startled and then remembered that Sister Li had indeed confiscated not a single body before.
Jiang Yi and others are not here.
When Xiang Shu's body was turned over halfway, she actually had the answer in her mind.
The people who died here were all below the out-of-body stage, and they all died in the same way.
The soul collapsed, but the physical body was intact.
Xiang Yu looked up at the corpse floating on the magma, his eyes flickering.
The Yuanzi assessment level in the memory fragment is the simplest of the eight assessment levels.
The people of the Abyssal Snake Tribe who are undergoing the assessment fall here. If they cannot reach the crater in time and activate the "Yuan" character script, they will be drowned by the magma from the volcanic eruption.
The magma is transformed from the incense ashes in the incense burner. It seems that the scorching heat can destroy the physical body, but in fact the temperature is not high. It can only affect the five senses of the soul and exercise the minds of the people of the Chuangguan tribe.
However, after being eroded by the illusion, the burning sensation caused by the incense ash became extremely real, so real that even the soul could not bear it. The treasure that tempered the heart became a murderous weapon.
These two thousand people have low cultivation levels and their souls are already weak. I'm afraid that the moment the magma flooded over, his soul would be crushed and he would die instantly.
After deducing the cause and effect, Xiang Shen's gaze became darker.
People from all over Xizhou came to Xitian City to participate in the auction. Although 60% of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, there were also many who were in the out-of-body stage.
If monks in the out-of-body stage fell here, not to mention escaping, their souls in the process of transformation would be able to withstand the magma for at least three days.
However, the more than 2,000 people who died here did not even have an out-of-body period.
Coincidence?
Or... the person who controls everything behind the scenes has some means to influence the distribution of assessment points.
But this impact will not be much.
Otherwise, it would not be the two thousand people who died here, but all the monks who entered this place and below the out-of-body stage!
"Why did he kill people?"
Xiang Shu frowned.
Without understanding this, she would never be able to predict how the other party would act.
She didn't like the feeling of being led around all the time.
Yuan Jing was sitting next to Xiang Shen. Seeing her frowning in thought, she could only sit aside obediently, not daring to disturb her.
Rumble——
Suddenly, there was a roar in the distance.
Yuan Jing suddenly raised her head and her face changed slightly.
That's the direction they came from.
Is Zou Lian chasing after me? !
Yuan Jing felt anxious and was about to give a warning when she saw Xiang Shu patting his sleeves, getting up and said calmly: "Let's go."
Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing and said in astonishment: "Sister Li, you...are you waiting for Zou Lian on purpose? Why should we wait for him?"
Xiang Shu glanced at Yuan Jing thoughtfully: "I'm just testing a guess."
guess?
Yuan Jing was startled, and then she seemed to understand something, and her face immediately became extremely ugly.
Yes!
Zou Lian didn't have any magical powers to find a way out. Even if he could defeat all kinds of magic, how could he find it so quickly?
The only possibility is that he used some kind of tracking method on himself.
boom!
Another ear-piercing roar came.
Yuan Jing's heart trembled when she heard this, and when she looked at Xiang Shu, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
Seeing this, Xiang Shen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm verifying this. I don't want to leave you behind. Just come with me."
Yuan Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly to follow.
The two of them kept writing the "Yuan" character, and tapped dozens of floating corpses with their toes, flying into the depths of the magma.
As soon as the two people approached, a stone door burning with fire immediately emerged from the magma.
This time, there was no need to remind Yuan Jing. Yuan Jing directly typed half of the character "Yuan" and landed it on the stone door.
When the fire touched the rune, one-fifth of it was instantly extinguished, and then it was covered by a complete meta-character condensed by Xiang Shu. The remaining four-fifths were quickly eliminated, returning to a green and black color.
with a while
There was a clicking sound, and the blue and black stone door opened automatically like Weiruiguan.
Xiang Shu floated down to the stone door, looked up and down, his eyes suddenly froze, he reached out and dug out the second colorful crystal stone from the corner of the stone door.
Without waiting for the Sea of Consciousness Condensation Bead to vibrate, she inserted the crystal directly into the blood ring.
The memory of the previous crystal has not been absorbed yet. If this one is activated again, she may be in coma for a while.
Yuan Jing saw Xiang Shen's actions and had no intention of asking any more questions. She could only leave here quickly, as far away from Zou Lian as possible.
Xiang Shu saw Yuan Jing's eagerness and took her directly into the passage without saying a word.
This time the two did not encounter the black stone wall. After a short period of darkness, they walked out of the passage and came to a new world.
But I saw white clouds, surrounded by mountains, and the scenery was picturesque.
From a distance, you can see a wooden house at the foot of the mountain, with smoke curling up into the clouds, making it look like a fairyland on earth.
Before, Yuan Jing would have felt emotional again, but at this moment, she had no intention of appreciating it, and her eyes only fell on Xiang Shen.
Xiang Shu glanced at the scene in the distance, then withdrew his gaze and focused on the exit again.
At Weirui Pass, she combined the word "礤" with a ban on killing snakes and insects, and in addition to the ban on trapping, it seemed that there was no way to prevent the evil spirit from being refined.
Then add a little more variety.
Coincidentally, after passing these two levels, she gained a new understanding of the characters "礤" and "元", and Cui Lian could be regarded as an excellent whetstone.
She pondered for a while, formed a seal with her hands, and black snowflakes fell down, forming the word "kill".
But it is the killing ban among the orthodox ancient bans!
The "Kill" ban circled around the fingertips and pointed to a point in the void. The ban rune immediately took off and flew into the passage to hang in the air.
Xiang Shu condensed the snake and insect script "礤" characters into the killing ban.
The ancient ban and the ban on snakes and insects have different logics, but they have similarities and can be combined. She has long wanted to try this.
The "kill" character text was blocked by the snake and insect text, and it immediately trembled. The color quickly deepened, quickly changing from light black to deep black, and even a hint of red.
When Xiang Shu saw this ray of red, he felt frightened.
She felt strange in her heart, but she kept moving. Then she condensed eight killing bans with the word "礤", and then connected them with each other to make the nine killing bans into a whole.
By killing the bans like this, she could have forty-nine bans connected in a row.
But influenced by the character "Rui", the killing ban seemed to have undergone some changes that even she couldn't understand. The connection of the nine bans was the limit of what she could do now.
After setting up the killing ban, Xiang Shu condensed the ancient ban with the word "hidden" to cover up the fluctuations of the ban, and finally added a layer of "yuan" character text.
"Yuan" has the effect of protecting and containing.
It is placed here to compress the space and increase the explosive power of killing.
After setting up all the restrictions, he took a step back and looked at the silent entrance of the passage, with a faint expectation flashing in his eyes.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, she really wanted to see with her own eyes how powerful the red spirit that appeared inexplicably in the restriction could be.
