Yan Xiang turned his head and saw that his escape route was blocked, and he was immediately frightened and angry.
The temperature in the square is still rising. If there is no way out, even if they find the treasure, they will be trapped here life and death.
As soon as he thought about this, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the fiery red ball he had obtained before, and then he saw the red light on the ball rising sharply, and hundreds of fireballs the size of millstones appeared out of thin air above Yan Xiang's head.
Yuan Ming's consciousness swept across these fireballs, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately took a few steps away from Yan Xiang.
Almost at the same time, Fairy Jin Yun on the side also made the same action.
Yan Xiang raised his hand, and all the fireballs hit the stone cave door like a rainstorm, exploding with a bang!
A series of deafening roars sounded one after another, hot mushroom clouds rose up, raging waves of fire submerged the wall near the doorway, and then manic flames exploded with smoke and dust, and the entire square shook.
Waves of shock waves made other Yuanying monks' bodies unstable. Long Chong and Taoist Qianbao, the two alchemy monks, took a few steps back before they stabilized their bodies.
Yuan Ming and Fairy Jin Yun had already retreated, but were not affected by the impact.
Yuan Ming was not surprised by this. As soon as those fireballs appeared, he felt the amazing explosive properties in them. The fireballs formed by his Fire Cloud Secret Technique also had explosive properties, but compared with these, they were not worth mentioning.
.
However, even though the power of the flaming red sphere was astonishing, when the smoke and dust dispersed, everyone saw that the door remained motionless, with not even a trace of burnt marks on the door leaf, let alone potholes or cracks.
At this time, except for the Jinchao clone and Jinyun Fairy, everyone's expressions became ugly.
Yan Xiang did not expect that his bombardment had no effect. He stared at the gate with a gloomy face for a moment, and then jumped up, trying to bypass the gate, directly leap over the wall, and leave the square.
The moment his feet left the ground, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air suddenly came from the sky.
Everyone quickly looked up, only to see seven huge suns hanging directly above the square, and in the sun at this moment, countless flaming arrows flew down, landing on Yanxiang's head in the blink of an eye.
Yan Xiang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly offered up a red gauze magic weapon, forming a crystal clear red shield around his body.
However, the flaming arrows hit it and easily penetrated the red shield.
Yanxiang screamed, and was shot through by dozens of arrows. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The expressions of everyone on the ground changed drastically, and they hurriedly offered their magic weapons to protect their bodies.
Suddenly, a ball of golden spiritual light shot up into the air, wrapped around Yan Xiang, dragged him away from the range of the arrow rain, and landed on the ground.
The flaming arrows behind them stopped and did not pursue them. After a few breaths, they slowly dissipated.
Everyone on the ground breathed a sigh of relief and put away their protective magic weapons.
The golden aura spit out Yanxiang and flew back into the Jinchao clone.
Yanxiang's body was pierced with more than a dozen black wounds, and his whole body looked like a torn bag. Fortunately, his dantian, head and other key parts were not pierced by arrows, and he still had a weak breath.
The Golden Chao clone turned to look at Lei He and others, and said calmly: "Why don't you heal him quickly, or do you want to see him die here?"
Master Jin Hua and Lei He came to their senses, and hurried forward, taking out various elixirs and casting spells to treat him, but unfortunately the effect was not good.
"In addition to increasing longevity and improving cultivation, the flat peach just now has a very good effect on healing injuries." said the Golden Nest clone.
Jin Hua Zhenren was suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly took Yanxiang's storage magic weapon, took out the flat peach, and fed it to him.
This flat peach is indeed a fairy fruit. Yanxiang's aura quickly recovered, and he woke up after half-stepping into the gate of hell.
"I, cough cough cough..." After Yan Xiang woke up, he opened his mouth and said only one word before spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then he started coughing uncontrollably.
Master Jin Hua and Lei He quickly stuffed another healing elixir into his mouth and helped him dissolve the medicine, and the coughing stopped just then.
Gu Xuanyang looked at this scene and suddenly looked up at the Jinchao clone: "Senior Jinchao seems to have expected this situation?"
As soon as these words came out, Jin Hua Zhenren and Lei He both looked at the Jin Chao clone with questions in their eyes.
The arrow rain appeared too suddenly. No matter how high the level of cultivation, there should be time to react, but the Jinchao clone was able to take action at the right time. No one would believe it if it had not been predicted.
Just before the wall, Jin Chao's behavior of stopping everyone was also very suspicious.
Faced with the doubt, the Jinchao clone had no intention of defending: "Yes, I won't hide it from you now. Jin was lucky enough to visit Sanxian Island many years ago. As for the situation here, even if he doesn't explain everything clearly, it can be regarded as
I somewhat understand.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone else couldn't help but change their colors.
"There is a Nine Palaces of Fine Fire Formation in the square here. Now the gate of the formation has been sealed. We are all trapped in the formation. If we want to get out, we can't just rely on brute force. We can only find the formation nodes and destroy them.
I can escape unscathed." The Jinchao clone continued without waiting for anyone to ask.
After everyone heard this, they quickly looked around, trying to find traces of the formation.
The square is wide and empty, with only nine ruby palaces of the same style standing on it. The floors and walls, which are also made of ruby, are seamlessly integrated. There are no marks of formation patterns on them at all, and they don't look like much.
It looked like it was enveloped by a formation.
But soon, everyone discovered that the positions of the nine palaces on the square were somewhat strange.
Among the nine palaces, only one is located in the center of the square, with the seven suns directly above it, while the other eight palaces are located on the edge of the square, close to the walls, and are also distributed according to the directions of the Bagua.
While Yuan Ming was observing, he quietly contacted the first soul in the Tiantian Cauldron, asked him to sit on the lotus platform, and released his consciousness to look towards the sun in the sky.
The arrow rain that attacked Yanxiang fell from the sun, which also shows that the seven suns above the square may also be part of the Nine Palaces of Fine Fire Formation.
The first soul's consciousness soon came into contact with the scorching sun in the sky, and a fire poison that was much more violent than the red mist in the stone forest instantly invaded the consciousness. However, due to the isolation of the Thieving Heaven Cauldron, it could not attack the first soul.
cause any impact.
He soon discovered that the seven suns seemed to be vaguely connected to the seven palaces in the square. Only the palace in the center of the square and the palace in the off position did not have any connection with the sun in the sky.
"You don't have to look for it. The hub of the formation is actually located in these nine palaces. As long as you destroy them all, you can easily leave the formation. However, the core of the formation hidden in the central hall of the central palace is the most powerful.
, even if all of us work together, we can't break it. Fortunately, we don't have to worry about it. As long as the other eight hubs are solved, the crisis can be solved." The golden nest clone spoke faster and explained.
At this time, Yan Xiang temporarily suppressed his injuries and regained some strength. Hearing what Jin Chao said was so calm, but thinking of his life hanging by a thread just now, he couldn't help but ask: "Since you know the situation here,
Why did you bring us in to die?"
"Oh, that's what I said. Even if I told you to stop them in advance, wouldn't you guys come in?" The Jinchao clone sneered and asked.
Yan Xiang opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Senior Jinchao, why did you just let me wait outside for a while and not come in until after seven days of volleying?" Yuan Ming suddenly asked.
After hearing this, everyone else looked at the Golden Chao clone.
"The seven suns in the sky are also derived from the Nine Palaces of Fine Fire Formation. Although the seven-day volley will make this place hotter, it will also throw most of the power into the air. When we break the formation, we will have a little more hope." Jin
The nest clone explained.
"I see, I'm just saying too much." Yuan Ming nodded and said.
Gu Xuanyang frowned and said: "Okay, now is not the time to argue about this matter. We must break the Nine Palaces of Fine Fire Formation as soon as possible. If we delay it for a long time, we will all die here."
"That's right, but since the organizer dares to put the formation hub in the open, it won't be easy to break it. Senior Jin Chao, do you have anything to say about this?" Jin Hua Zhenren agreed and turned his head.
asked.
The Golden Chao clone nodded, flipped his right palm, and a ball of golden light appeared in his palm, from which eight red talismans flew out and landed in front of everyone.
"This is a forbidden talisman that I specially refined to solve the Nine Palaces Fine Fire Formation. It can break the restrictions outside the palace. However, there should be other obstacles inside the palace, which you need to solve on your own." Golden Nest Clone.
said.
Master Jinhua caught a glimpse of a forbidden talisman in front of Yuan Ming and Long Chong, and immediately frowned.
"Senior Jinchao, do you mean to ask Junior Jiedan to also be responsible for breaking the restrictions in the first hall?" he asked hesitantly.
"Time is running out now. If we delay for a moment longer, the hope of breaking through the formation will be slim. I know the strength of Jin Yun and Qian Bao. It is not a problem to take charge of a palace alone. As for your son and Yuan Xiaoyou, it is not possible for the two of them to join forces.
It may not be possible to break a key point." Jin Chao glanced at Yuan Ming and Long Chong.
Jin Hua Zhenren was a little worried: "Having said that, they have insufficient cultivation after all. We can't guarantee that we can break the hinge, let alone them?"
"Don't worry, I've already prepared for this."
With that said, the Jinchao clone waved his hand, and Fairy Jinyun, who was standing quietly at the side, immediately took out two fire feathers from the storage bag and distributed them to Yuan Ming and Taoist Qianbao.
The fire feathers were soft and warm, and would flap slowly even if there was no wind, just like a living flame. It seemed weak and weak, but it contained a strong evil aura. Even Gu Xuanyang was a little frightened when he saw it.
"This is the evil feather that I have spent hundreds of years condensing. After being sacrificed, it can explode with a full blow equivalent to that of a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, which is enough to break the formation." Jinchao clone explained.
Seeing that he was so well-prepared, Jin Hua Zhenren couldn't help but try to dissuade him. He could only pull Long Chong aside and give him detailed instructions.
Yuan Ming put away the fire feather, but he was not nervous at all. He just looked at Fairy Jinyun thoughtfully.
If Jinchao can hand over such treasures to Fairy Jinyun for safekeeping, there must be some relationship between the two.
Could it be that they are father and daughter? But Jin Yun doesn't have any demonic aura, so he shouldn't be in the form of a demonic beast.
Jin Yun noticed Yuan Ming's peek and immediately glared back at him. Seeing this, Yuan Ming laughed sarcastically and immediately looked away.
Having decided to break the formation, everyone did not delay any further. After a brief discussion, they quickly assigned targets and began to split up.
Yuan Ming and Long Chong were assigned to the Dui Palace. They quickly arrived at the entrance of the palace. As soon as they approached, a red formation appeared on the palace gate, blocking their way.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming immediately took out the forbidden talisman given by Jinchao, injected mana into it, and threw it towards the door.
The forbidden talisman turned into a stream of light and penetrated into the palace door. Then Yuan Ming and the two heard a muffled bang. The magic circle on the palace door broke instantly, and dozens of different sizes appeared on the palace door.
The cracks then exploded inwards instantly, turning into countless fragments and falling down.
Yuan Ming and Long Chong looked at each other, each took out their magic weapons, and carefully stepped into the palace.
In the center of the palace, a large magic circle was slowly moving. Countless red runes poured out from the magic circle, winding into balls in mid-air like chains. It seemed to be wrapping something. There were bursts of hot air coming from inside.
The temperature in the main hall was even hotter than that of the square.
"This is the formation hub that Senior Jinchao said. We only need to attack it? Is it that simple?" Long Chong asked in disbelief.
Yuan Ming did not answer, and released his spiritual consciousness to cover the surroundings, but did not find any hidden danger.
