Almost at the same moment when the red light stopped flashing, everyone stood up together and walked stiffly into eight long queues, surrounding the altar about a foot away.
Mo Li also stood in the team. Bu Xiaotian stepped forward and wanted to pull Mo Li out, but he had lost all his energy at this moment. However, Mo Li stood motionless as if there were roots under his feet. Even though Bu Xiaotian tried his best to pull Mo Li out. Even if he tried his best, he could not move her even a little bit.
Just when he tried his best to pull Mo Li away, he suddenly found that the strange power that corroded the mind in the red light suddenly disappeared.
In this way, Bu Xiaotian finally no longer needs to devote most of his energy to silently reciting the Qingxin Jue to resist the erosion of the mind by the red light.
But before he could make a move, a person at the front of one of the teams suddenly took a step forward and easily crossed the invisible barrier that had previously blocked Bu Xiaotian.
This situation made Bu Xiaotian extremely surprised, but he remembered all the strange things that had happened before and did not dare to move rashly. He stood there and stared at the man as he walked to the altar step by step.
I saw the man moving stiffly, slowly but without stopping until he walked up to the blood-colored crystal hanging on the altar, and then reached out to hold the blood-colored crystal.
After he took hold of the spar, he stood motionless. No one else outside the altar made any move, as if they were waiting for something.
Bu Xiaotian also looked at the altar with some confusion, wondering what would happen next.
He was not made to wait for too long, but within two or three breaths, the exposed skin on the hands and face of the man standing on the altar gradually became shriveled. If this continued, he would soon turn into a mummy. .
The blood-colored crystal was actually sucking the essence of that person's flesh and blood!
Bu Xiaotian was immediately shocked and rushed to the altar, trying to stop all this.
But when he ran ten feet away from the altar, he encountered the invisible barrier that had previously blocked his approach, and he was still unable to advance.
Bu Xiaotianzi couldn't watch the man die like this in front of his eyes, so he tried again in several directions, but all his attempts failed without exception.
In the end, he could only watch as the man was drained of all his flesh and blood essence, turning into a skeleton with human skin and crashing onto the altar.
When the man fell, the person at the front of the other team took a step forward without warning, crossed the invisible barrier, walked onto the altar again, and repeated the previous actions.
Seeing that another person was about to be sucked dry by the weird blood-colored crystal, Bu Xiaotian frantically rushed against the invisible barrier again.
But no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail. In the end, he could only watch the second man turn into a mummy and fall on the altar.
Only then did he realize that the body of the previous man had disappeared at some point, and there was only a pile of clothes left on the altar where he fell.
When the second man's body fell, a breeze stirred up, and the clothes were disturbed, as if they had withstood thousands of years of weathering, and scattered into a pile of dust.
After the second person fell, the third person took steps to the altar.
And then the fourth...
...
Each time, a person walked out of a different team, walked to the altar, was sucked dry, turned into a mummy, and then fell down, shaking the clothes left by the previous person into a handful of dust.
Bu Xiaotian finally saw clearly how those fallen bodies disappeared.
After the corpses of those people fell on the altar, the lines on the altar would glow faintly, and the corpses would slowly disappear as if they melted.
Every time, when the person behind him completely turned into a mummy, the body of the person in front also completely disappeared.
It was as if there was an invisible presence strictly controlling this silent and cruel scene.
...
Finally, the seventh person also became a mummy.
At this time, Bu Xiaotian was already standing next to the person at the front of the only team that no one came forward, holding on to that person's body tightly.
Sure enough, at the same time that the man who had turned into a mummy on the altar fell, the man held by Bu Xiaotian lifted his steps.
But Bu Xiaotian grabbed him tightly and refused to let him take that step.
Just when Bu Xiaotian thought he had successfully saved this man's life, the person at the front of a team opposite the altar took a step without warning and walked onto the altar.
Xiaotian was shocked and angry at this concession!
He did temporarily save the person next to him, but he couldn't stop another person from dying in his place.
At the same time, unless he stays by this person's side, this person doesn't know when he will take that fatal step.
He had never felt so powerless.
It's been a long time since he's had any water, and he doesn't know how long he can hold on. When he gets weaker, he won't be able to hold on to anyone anymore.
Are you destined to watch all these people die here?
At this time he felt a little regretful.
He didn't regret coming after the sand demon, he just regretted bringing Mo Li with him.
He originally owed her a life, but now not only could he not save her, but he himself was about to die here.
Bu Xiaotian felt a sense of despair in his heart.
No! He can't just give up!
Even if he is doomed to fail after trying until the last minute, he can't give up!
Even if it wasn't for himself, he couldn't give up for Mo Li!
An inexplicable power suddenly rose in Bu Xiaotian's heart, and even his physical hunger and thirst subsided a lot.
Instead of trying to stop others from approaching the altar again, he began to observe the pattern of those coming forward.
At this time, he had discovered that only one person from each team would come forward in each round, and there was absolutely no situation where two people would step forward from one team in a row.
Unless someone can control all seven at the same time!
But it is obviously impossible for this to happen at this time.
So Bu Xiaotian began to wait patiently. When he found out the pattern of the eight teams' actions, he might be able to break the strange situation.
But what made Xiaotian a little helpless was that these people acted without any regularity at all, and even the person next to him who had just been rescued walked up to the altar when he wasn't paying attention.
Soon fourteen people had died, and in the second round only one team had no one on the altar.
Bu Xiaotian decided to take a gamble!
He walked to the front of the team before the fourteenth person fell. When the person at the front of the team just raised his feet, he suddenly rushed towards the altar!
Just hearing a muffled "bang" sound, Bu Xiaotian was bounced back by the invisible barrier.
But the man who had already raised his steps approached the altar without any hindrance.
Bu Xiaotian endured the pain of falling after hitting the barrier and walked behind the man, stretched out his hand and pushed, and the place where the barrier existed became indestructible again.
Bu Xiaotian's attempt failed again, and he could only watch with eyes wide open as the man was once again sucked into a mummy by the blood-colored crystal and turned into dust.
He tried again and again to break into the altar to stop this, but failed again and again.
No matter how hard he tried, the invisible barrier was like a chasm, blocking him from the altar.
Finally, it seemed that all the strength was exhausted, and the will was worn away by repeated failures.
Bu Xiaotian slumped on the ground helplessly, watching people one after another walk up to the altar and die numbly.
Seeing that there is only one person left in front of Mo Li, when this round of sacrifices is over, she will also walk up to the altar like the people who died in front of her.
But he is not willing to give in!
If he died unconsciously like those people, at least he wouldn't have to endure such pain.
But he is the only one here who still retains his consciousness.
After a long time, when there were only two teams left in this round and no one had stepped forward, Bu Xiaotian stood up again.
He has to make one last attempt!
This time he did not try to break into the altar again, but slowly raised his steps and walked to Mo Li. He glanced at Mo Li, who looked numb, and seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly slammed into Mo Li with all his strength. The person in front of me.
boom!
boom!
Two muffled sounds.
The first sound was the sound of Bu Xiaotian hitting the man, and the second sound was the sound of the man falling to the ground.
At this moment, the blood crystal seemed to feel that someone had destroyed the sacrifice. Suddenly a red light burst out, and red lines like spider webs lit up on the ground. It was not just a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement. Everyone left happened to step on the lines. on the node.
Except for the node in front of Mo Li.
When the red lines lit up, the same red light also lit up in everyone's eyes, which was more obvious than before. They all turned their heads to look at where Bu Xiaotian was.
Being watched by these people, Bu Xiaotian felt numb in his heart, as if he was being targeted by hundreds of wild beasts.
In the flash of lightning and flint, seeing that those people were about to rush up and tear him into pieces, Bu Xiaotian immediately took a step forward and stood on the empty node.
As soon as Bu Xiaotian stood up, the light of the red crystal weakened, the lines on the ground slowly faded away, and the red light in those people's eyes also went out.
As soon as he stood on that node, Bu Xiaotian felt something was wrong. His legs seemed to be filled with lead and he could no longer lift them up.
Before he could even try to lift his leg, his left foot was lifted up without his control and stepped over the invisible barrier.
After his left foot landed, his right foot followed. Just like the others before him, he walked up to the altar step by step, and involuntarily stretched out his hand to hold the blood-colored spar.
While holding the crystal, a strange suction force suddenly appeared on Bu Xiaotian's hand, causing the blood essence in his body to rush towards the blood-colored crystal, as if it was about to burst out of his body!
But at this moment, Bu Xiaotian suddenly discovered that it was not only his essence and blood that was aroused, but also the true energy that had been dormant in his body for a long time and he could not feel it no matter how hard he tried before!
Bu Xiaotian immediately activated the "Dao Xuan Jing", but his true energy still did not respond at all. After such a delay, Bu Xiaotian already felt that part of his vitality had been absorbed by the blood-colored crystal along with the essence and blood. .
As if part of his strength had been taken away, Bu Xiaotian felt an extreme pain and weakness.
The "Dao Xuan Jing", which is the core method of Yuxu Sect, is useless!
Bu Xiaotian didn't dare to think too much. Seeing that the "Dao Xuan Jing" was useless, he quickly changed his fortune to the "Tian Jing".
After his previous encounter in the underground cave of Broken Mountain, Bu Xiaotian later discovered when he was practicing that the "Tian Jing" seemed to be much more mysterious than the "Dao Xuan Jing".
Originally, he just tried it with the idea of using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but he never thought that Bu Xiaotian had just started using the method of "Tian Jing", and a trace of true energy in his body actually returned to his control.
Xiaotian was overjoyed at this concession!
So he immediately ran the "Tian Jing" with all his strength, and soon all the remaining Qi in his body was mobilized by him. At the same time, he also faintly stopped the tendency of the essence and blood to be absorbed by the crystal.
Feeling this subtle change, Bu Xiaotian immediately channeled all his true energy into the palm holding the blood-colored crystal, and finally resisted the strange suction.
But despite all his efforts, he could only barely stop the flow of blood and essence, and was unable to make any unnecessary movements.
If this stalemate continues, there is no way to get rid of the predicament at hand. In the end, he will not be able to escape the fate of being sucked dry by the blood crystal stone.
At this time, Bu Xiaotian heard the roars of monster beasts above his head, and seemed to be aware of what was happening here, but all the roars only stayed on the dome above his head, and it seemed that the sand monsters could not rush in. .
He glanced at the people outside the altar with his peripheral vision, and saw that everyone looked numb and indifferent as before, and then he felt relieved.
While Bu Xiaotian desperately resisted the strange suction of the blood crystal, he desperately searched for a way to break the situation in his mind.
Suddenly, the meaning of "Yin Yang Nine Transformations Sutra" flashed in Bu Xiaotian's mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
Due to the miracles of the "Tian Jing", all the true energy in Bu Xiaotian's body is under his control at this time, and he can operate according to other methods again.
Bu Xiaotian carefully separated two streams of true energy and turned them into extremely negative and extremely positive energy.
But he tried his best and could only barely resist the suction of the blood crystal. It was extremely dangerous to operate two completely different methods at the same time. If he was not careful, he would go crazy, and it would take a lot of effort to control the body. Infuriated.
As soon as he was distracted, the essence and blood in his body suddenly began to be absorbed by the blood-colored crystal again.
He endured the pain and used the shortest possible time to transform all the remaining Qi in his body into two kinds of Qi, the extreme yin and the extreme yang, which were condensed in his left and right hands respectively.
In just a few dozen breaths, Bu Xiaotian's face was extremely pale, and all his clothes were soaked with sweat as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Finally, all the zhenqi was completely converted, a light flashed in Bu Xiaotian's eyes, and the two kinds of zhenqi, from yin to yang, surged out crazily from his left and right hands at the same time, colliding hard together!
Yin and yang are in conflict, and two completely opposite qi formed by Bu Xiaotian's whole body's cultivation meet, and an indescribable power suddenly breaks out!
boom--
A loud noise, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, exploded in this closed space.
At the same time as the loud noise was made, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up on the altar, filling the entire space. An extremely powerful energy burst out from the altar, knocking everyone to the ground.
In the white light, a figure could be faintly seen flying out, hitting the wall dozens of feet away.
Naturally, it was Bu Xiaotian who was standing on the altar.
When he punched out the yin and yang energy in his hands, he felt a very strong evil energy for a moment, but it quickly disappeared and was then rushed away by the energy.
Before he fainted completely, he seemed to hear a long roar, and its source was from the direction of the altar!
