"Junior Brother Qi, you are back. How is the situation outside?" The woman in the center of the crowd caught a glimpse of Qi Suan and turned to him.
"It's not good. There are tens of thousands of them in the Light Thunder Realm right now." Qi Su'an shook his head, and the disciples on both sides moved out of the way, allowing him to walk in front of the woman unimpeded.
The woman's name is Yang Xue, she has the spiritual roots of fire and wood, her cultivation is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, she is an expert in wielding a soft sword, and she is recognized as the one with the highest combat power among all the disciples present.
Hearing Qi Su'an's words, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly. The face of the girl on the second level of Qi Refining even turned pale. She bit her lip and looked at Yang Xue with tears in her eyes, "Senior Sister Yang..."
"Junior Sister Xu, please be patient." Yang Xue gently comforted the little girl. Then she turned to look at the man standing opposite her and said, "Senior Brother Wu, now you should agree to leave with us. Well, it has only been less than half an hour, and there are nearly ten thousand more spirit beasts outside. If we really wait until tomorrow, there will probably be spirit beasts everywhere. Even the fourth-order illusion array may not be able to do anything by then. use."
The fourth-level illusion array only changes the perception of the spirit beasts and makes them subconsciously ignore them. It does not eliminate their existence. If the spirit beasts continue to gather at this speed, there will definitely be spirit beasts coming here. By then, the fourth-level magic array will The phantom formation was self-defeating. After all, the entire phantom formation was filled with spirit beasts, so there was no place for them to hide.
The man's name is Wu Yu. Like Yang Xue, he is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. However, unlike Yang Xue, who majors in swordsmanship, Wu Yu is a second-level array master. The illusion array currently arranged around the tunnel is Wu Yu's use of a fourth-level array. Comes out of cloth.
Yang Xue and Wu Yu met by chance after the spirit beasts attacked. At first, Yang Xue protected Wu Yu and allowed him to arrange the killing array safely. These spirit beasts did not cause them much trouble, so the two People didn't care, and were even a little happy. They just thought it was some rare treasure that had attracted so many spiritual beasts.
However, the more they killed, the more spiritual beasts gathered, as if they were endless, and there were also spiritual beasts suspected to be able to use bloodline magical powers. When they opened their mouths, light waves of spiritual power rushed through, ordinary second-order The formation was instantly shattered, not to mention their bodies, which would most likely die if touched.
So the two of them had no choice but to change their strategy, fight and run away, and were in danger several times. It wasn't until Yunjin's transmission notes and two heart-catching bells flew from the sky that their situation became better.
It must be said that they were lucky. The Heart-Self Bell could only sense the aura of the immortal cultivator, so who it would fly to was completely random. Just like Su Li and Mu Qiange, neither of the Heart-Self Bells flew past them.
The message in the transmission note let them know what happened in the secret area and the escape route, and then they ran towards the special exit.
However, the effect of the Heart-Taking Bell was not as great as expected. It could only make those second-level spirit beasts with red eyes pause for a moment, but it was not as completely intimidating as the legend said. Fortunately, they were heading north all the way. Along the way, they kept meeting surviving disciples, which allowed their team to continue to grow, and finally passed through the thunder realm without any danger.
But when they stood at the junction of the two places and looked at the endless Northland in front of them, they had a problem.
The entire northern land has been occupied by spirit beasts. Farther into the darkness, there are densely packed red eyes. If the spirit beasts in the Thunder Realm are in groups, then the spirit beasts in the north are in one large area, and there are only these. A big piece.
Upon seeing this, Wu Yu immediately took out the fourth-order formation plate that he had treasured for many years, and then three disciples of Tu Linggen opened a tunnel. The fourth-order magic array was used as a protection, and they simply created a temporary shelter.
Hiding in the tunnel, Wu Yu and Yang Xue also had differences for the first time, so two voices appeared in the entire team.
A few people led by Yang Xue advocated a forced breakout to a special exit, while more than 20 people led by Wu Yu wanted to rely on formations to hold on until the secret realm was opened.
The cultivation levels of Yang Xue and others are all above the seventh level of Qi refining, and their combat prowess is not weak, so they are confident that they can break out with the help of the Heart-Taking Bell.
However, the remaining twenty or so people are basically new disciples. They are all six, seven or eight years old, and their cultivation levels are generally at the third level of Qi Refining. Therefore, after seeing the spiritual beasts in the north, their fighting spirit has increased at all. Can't get up
.
As for Wu Yu, he only believed in his own formation. He didn't believe that Yang Xue could protect him and arrange the formation among so many spiritual beasts. As for the others, he didn't believe it even more. When the spiritual beasts gathered together, Yang Xue could kill with her sword skills, but if he couldn't set up a formation, he could only wait to die.
After hearing the situation outside, Wu Yu didn't look too good. But when he thought of the spiritual beasts in the north, he shook his head and said to Yang Xue: "There are only so many spiritual beasts in the secret realm. Even if they all gather together, The situation you mentioned will not happen, so I don’t believe that the number of spiritual beasts outside will continue to grow, and even if there are spiritual beasts entering the formation, as long as we kill them fast enough, there will not be any big problems."
After hearing Wu Yu's words, the new disciples seemed to have found their backbone, and their faces regained some vitality.
However, Yang Xue's face was still stern. She took out a transmission note and placed it on the wooden platform, and said: "Uncle Yun Jin has made it very clear in the transmission note. There is a controller behind the evil spirit beast. He is hunting us with purpose, and can monitor the entire secret realm through unknown means, so it is very likely that he will be able to discover the anomaly here, and by then it will be too late."
Wu Yu still shook his head and said: "There will be no foundation-building immortal cultivators in this secret realm, so in theory, no one can see through the fourth-level illusion array, so I still choose to stay here, and if I choose to break out, , we are a group of junior brothers and sisters here at the third level of Qi Refining, do you really have the confidence to lead us through the encirclement?"
As Wu Yu finished speaking, the scene fell into a strange silence. The new disciples looked at me and I looked at you, and their expressions were not very good.
If they choose to break out, they will definitely face those endless spiritual beasts. With the strength of this group of people, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and even those at the third level of Qi Refining may be completely annihilated.
If they choose to stay here, if those disciples at the seventh level of Qi Refining leave, they may not be able to clean up the spirit beasts that have fallen in in time. Even as Yang Xue said, they may be directly discovered by the people behind the scenes and then control them. If the spirit beasts surround them, they will really have no way to escape.
So these two choices, for them, are just the difference between dying early and dying late.
Da da da……
But at this moment, a series of clear footsteps came from the tunnel, breaking the silence in the underground square.
"Who?" Yang Xue hurriedly pulled out the soft sword from her waist, then rushed to the front of the crowd, looked at the tunnel exit warily, and shouted sternly.
As Yang Xue's words fell, the footsteps in the tunnel stopped, and then a clear female voice came.
"Su Li!"
