Mo Juren and the others left the rotten wood formation and passed through a passage. When they reached the end, they suddenly discovered that the exit was on a circular stone platform.
The area of the stone platform was not large, with a diameter of only more than ten feet. The strong smell of blood filled the air, mixed with a hint of fishy stench, causing the three of them to subconsciously hold their breath.
At this time, the three of them discovered that the stone platform was surrounded by a huge blood-colored lake, with no end as far as the eye could see.
What's even more weird is that there is some kind of invisible forbidden power around. Both mana and spiritual consciousness are greatly suppressed. It also has powerful air-restriction capabilities, making it impossible to fly in the air.
"According to the records, this level should be the so-called 'Blood Puppet Formation', but why does it look like this?" Looking at the huge endless blood lake around her, Wei Yurou couldn't help but frown.
"The answer should be in this blood lake." Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly. The restraining power of this space cannot be underestimated. His strength was also greatly suppressed, and his consciousness could only
Exploring a range of hundreds of feet.
"In the blood lake?" Wei Yurou was a little confused. The blood lake was not deep, just over a hundred feet long. Her spiritual consciousness could detect everything in the lake, but she did not find anything abnormal.
On the other hand, Hu Guang, who was on the side, seemed to have discovered something after also exploring for a while, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
A palm-sized boat-shaped magical weapon suddenly appeared in his hand. With a thought, it grew to several feet in length, and then flew down towards the lake in front of him.
A strange scene appeared. The moment the flying boat landed on the lake, the surrounding lake water suddenly began to surge. Tentacle-like blood-colored light bands suddenly emerged, directly entangling the flying boat completely, and then pulled it under the lake surface.
Wei Yurou was startled by this scene. Before she could say anything, the mutation appeared again. Perhaps it was the previous test, but the entire blood lake seemed to wake up and began to roll violently.
"It's coming!" Hu Guang warned, with five colors of light looming in his hand, looking ready.
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of bloody figures suddenly formed on the surface of the lake. Their faces were the same as those of living people, and they were getting clearer and clearer. A pair of red blood eyes looked at the stone platform in the center at the same time, and then they
It bursts out with a fierce light that chooses and devours people.
The number of bloody figures was increasing, and they occupied the entire lake in an instant. All the figures let out shrill roars almost at the same time, and then they swept in from all directions like a tide.
"The Blood Puppet Formation is like this!" Wei Yurou's complexion changed drastically. She waved her jade arm instantly and slashed out blood blades at high speed, directly killing the approaching blood puppets.
Mo Juren and Hu Guang also did not hesitate, and they quickly took action. Large areas of blood puppets were continuously wiped out, turning into countless bloody water and returning to the lake.
Obviously, the strength of this object is not that strong, at most it is only equivalent to that of a monk in the foundation building stage. However, due to the special environment here, the mana and consciousness are greatly suppressed and cannot be vacated, so the situation is naturally very different.
What's particularly critical is that this army of puppets seems to be endless, constantly gathering out of the lake. Therefore, even if the three of them are eliminated in large numbers again and again, it still does not help.
"This can't go on like this. In a sense, as long as the blood lake in front of us doesn't dry up, the blood puppets will be immortal and never-ending. We will be consumed by them alive." Hu Guang destroyed a piece of blood puppets with a wave of his hand.
, analyzed immediately.
This is just the beginning. The strength of the three of them is not low, and the mana is sufficient at the moment. It is not a problem, but if they don't want to leave, if this continues, no matter how much mana they have, they won't be able to survive.
"Can you determine the location of the exit of this formation?" Mo Juren's expression changed, and then he looked to his side.
"Wait a moment." Although Hu Guang didn't know the other party's plan, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately took out the 'Seven Star Plate' and started to act.
Although his consciousness and mana were suppressed, it did not affect his ability to analyze the formation. The seven-star disc rotated crazily, with strange runes looming above it.
Only a moment passed, and a hint of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes. He then put the treasure away, pointed in a certain direction, and said,
"It should be right there."
"Very good, follow me!" Mo Juren fired a light blade again, killing large pieces of blood puppets, and then suddenly opened his mouth, and an ice-blue flame emerged.
That was naturally the dry blue ice flame. As soon as Fang appeared, it grew into the wind and transformed into an ice blue fire dragon. Under his driving force, it quickly moved forward close to the lake.
The terrifying cold air then erupted, and the lake surface quickly froze, condensing directly into an ice path several feet wide. The blood puppets that were originally suspended on the lake surface were all frozen into ice sculptures.
This scene couldn't help but sparkle in the eyes of the two people behind them. They thought that so many restrictions would be difficult for each other, but they didn't expect that it could be solved so easily.
That ice-blue flame is obviously not simple. It is very likely that only certain heaven and earth spiritual flames can possess such terrifying cold energy.
At this time, Mo Juren had turned into a white rainbow and shot away. Without hesitation, the two of them also took up the escape light and chased after him.
With the strength of the three of them, everything they passed was unstoppable. Whether it was the frozen ice sculptures or the puppet army that had condensed again, they were all wiped out.
Although they were unable to fly, the three of them moved forward close to the ice without any slowness. In just a moment, they had rushed to the edge of the Blood Lake, and another square stone platform more than ten feet in size came into view again.
Different from the previous one, there is a small teleportation array built in the center of this stone platform.
The three of them rushed directly onto the stone platform and entered the teleportation array at the same time. Looking at the surging army of puppets from behind, they were about to immediately embed the spirit stone and teleport away.
But at this moment, a violent fluctuation of mana suddenly came from the direction behind him.
"Someone is chasing you!" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could guess who it was without even thinking. It must be someone from the Leiyin Sect.
They had been cautious enough since entering the ruins, but they didn't expect to alert each other.
It's not that he's afraid. He wasn't worried when he was still in the early stage of Nascent Soul, let alone now. At worst, if he really encounters him, he just has to do it once.
"They came after you with the help of your ice tunnel." Wei Yurou reacted and said.
"A slight difference is a thousand miles away. It's not certain whether we can catch up." Mo Juren sneered. At this time, Hu Guang had already finished placing the spirit stones, and then activated the teleportation array without hesitation.
Before teleporting, an idea suddenly came to his mind. Should he leave an explosive talisman and directly destroy the teleportation array? After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. If this was the only way to leave, wouldn't it be digging his own grave?
A white light flashed, and the formation was empty. After just a moment, the three elders of the Leiyin Sect followed closely, looking at the teleportation formation that had long been extinguished, their expressions solemn.
They have tried their best to catch up, but they are always one step behind the opponent. They don't even know what the intruder looks like, which is really a bit frustrating.
The opponent's methods are indeed terrifying. They are beyond the expectations of the three of them time and time again. Not to mention anything else, just the temporarily condensed ice path just now is enough to shock people. Even the treasures that the three of them originally prepared
None of them were used.
Master Yuanzhi, who was headed by him, suddenly had an idea in his mind. Such a terrifying existence was obviously beyond the scope of the late Yuanying monks. At least if it were them, if it were not for the legacy of their ancestors, they would never be able to survive with their own strength and means.
He rushed through these super formations and arrived here in such a short period of time.
Could it be that he is a powerful person in the transformation stage?
He couldn't help but have an idea in his mind and made some unbelievable guesses. If this was really the case, what would be the point even if the three of them caught up?
Turning to look at the two people beside him, the two monks in green and white also looked a little dazed at this time, obviously thinking of the same thing as him.
"Senior Brother Yuanzhi, we..." The monk in green came back to his senses and asked hesitantly.
"Everything is just our guess. We have to wait until we meet before we decide. Besides, the two junior brothers don't need to belittle themselves. After all, this is the territory of my Leiyin Sect. In addition to the three of us, there are countless disciples of the sect.
, and there is no need to be afraid of the senior who is hiding in the sect." Master Yuanzhi comforted him, and then took the lead in stepping into the teleportation array, and the other two did not hesitate and followed closely.
In order to delay the pursuers, Hu Guang specially embedded several low-level spiritual stones, but at this moment, his spiritual power was exhausted.
Naturally, the three elders of the Leiyin Sect also discovered this, and their faces turned dark. They could only replace a new batch. The white light flashed again, and the three figures also disappeared.
…
This is an extremely vast hall, with a radius of nearly a thousand feet and a height of more than a hundred feet.
There are eight huge stone pillars scattered in all directions of the hall, each of which is more than one foot in diameter. The surface is even more densely carved with lines, which are actually dragons of different shapes.
Although it is just a dead thing, the dragon's momentum is not weak at all, and it exudes a powerful sense of oppression.
There is a circular stone platform built in the center of the hall. Coincidentally, there is also a stone statue on it, which is the 'Vajra Yamantaka' that we saw when we first entered the site.
The difference is that the one in front of you is larger in size and more lifelike in appearance, as if it is alive.
A total of thirty-six ancient bronze lamps were placed in the area around the stone platform. Even after an unknown number of years, the lights were still bright and showed no sign of extinguishing.
"The situation here seems to be completely different from what is recorded in the information!" In the corner of the hall, Mo Juren, who had just come in from the entrance, looked at everything around him and said with some confusion.
"It's really not the same thing." Wei Yurou frowned. The information mentioned that this should be the last level. There should be a special restriction. Only by breaking it can we truly enter the core of the ruins.
Area.
The key to the restriction is a mysterious astrolabe, which must be infused with powerful energy and blood to activate it and successfully open the channel. This is one of the reasons why Mo Juren was approached to cooperate in the first place.
But everything in front of me is obviously not like this, and it is even completely irrelevant. It is really strange.
She took out the jade slip again, and then used a ray of consciousness to inspect it.
Unfortunately, no matter how she looked, she couldn't find any clues.
Speaking of which, she got this jade slip by chance. The information on it was incomplete. Now that something like this happened again, she didn't know what to do.
Mo Juren did not blame the other party, but walked back and forth in the hall, constantly checking.
Obviously, there is also a super formation here, but it is not the one mentioned in the information.
Although he didn't know why this was the case, he could roughly guess the reason just by looking at the stone statue of Yamantaka and the thirty-six ancient lamps that were obviously Buddhist-style.
"What should we do now?" Wei Yurou asked again.
"The plan cannot keep up with the changes, so we can only act according to the situation." Mo Juren shook his head slightly. If it had been before, he might have chosen to let Hu Guang find a way to break the formation, or he might have personally taken action to break it.
But now that people from the Leiyin Sect have appeared and are expected to arrive soon, it is obviously too late to do so again and the gain outweighs the loss.
More importantly, he felt that the matter was not that simple, and he had even vaguely guessed something before, so it was unwise to act rashly.
Just like the thirty-six ancient lamps arranged neatly on the stone platform, which looked like high-grade Buddhist treasures, he did not move them because of this consideration.
It may not be a bad thing to wait for the people from the Leiyin Sect to arrive. They may be able to figure out the whole story. As for whether they will fall out or cooperate with each other in the end, it depends on the attitude of the other party.
As soon as these words came out, Wei Yurou and Hu Guang immediately understood the meaning of the words. The other party was the leader. Since it was decided like this, they naturally had no objections.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The three of them stopped talking and waited patiently. Hu Guang thought of something, and a five-color mask suddenly appeared in his hand and was put on his face directly.
superior.
Mo Juren looked slightly surprised. The Tuwu tribe really had extraordinary heritage. The ability of this five-color mask to shield spiritual consciousness was surprisingly powerful, and it was no worse than his Qian Huan.
In just a moment, the entrance suddenly flashed with light, and three escaping lights rushed out at extremely fast speeds, looking impatient.
When the light faded away, three people in monk robes emerged. As soon as they stood still, the three of them immediately looked at the stone platform in the center. They saw that there was nothing unusual on it, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The hall suddenly became extremely quiet. Both parties also converged their thoughts and began to look at each other constantly. On the surface, they remained calm, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
"There is only one late-stage Nascent Soul, and the other two are only in the middle-stage Nascent Soul. How is this possible?" The Leiyin Sect side obviously couldn't believe it, and they even checked several times to make sure they were wrong.
The result was no different. The other three did indeed only have one late-stage great monk. But this was too outrageous. How could it be possible to get here through several levels with only this little strength?
The three of them all looked at each other. Logically speaking, such a result was a good thing, and they should breathe a sigh of relief. But for some reason, they couldn't relax in their hearts.
An existence that can pass through several levels in such a short period of time, and even completely destroy the 'Nine Netherworld Thunder Soul Extinguishing Array', is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. Before the reality is determined, any impulse is unreasonable.
Sensible.
Thinking of this, the leader, Master Yuanzhi, immediately put his hands together and saluted:
"Poor monk Yuan Zhi, these are my two junior brothers Yuan Ku and Yuan Ci, who have met three Taoist friends."
"It turns out to be Master Yuanzhi of the Leiyin Sect. Mo is so polite." Mo Juren looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect that he was a character who had appeared in the original work. The one who had relied on the "Ming Wang Jue" to achieve success.
The existence of competition with Han Li.
Master Yuan Zhi was also secretly shocked. He thought it would be the old man in the late Nascent Soul stage who would answer, but he didn't expect it to be this person.
Then there is only one possibility, that the other party is the leader of the three, and from the looks on the other two's faces towards the monk surnamed Mo, it can be inferred that his guess is probably true.
This is a bit intriguing. Who is this person named Mo? Is he of noble origin, or is he hiding his strength?
Wei Yurou and Hu Guang did not introduce themselves, and Yuan Zhi did not force them. Instead, they changed the subject and asked slightly:
"Three fellow Taoists rashly broke into the forbidden area of our Leiyin Sect without consent, and even almost caused a catastrophe. Is there something wrong?"
