While he was speaking, he took out a palm-sized compass from his sleeve. There were two pointers on it. One of them pointed straight to the calculated position, while the other kept spinning without stopping at all.
mean.
Ji Lai's eyes swept across the compass, and then he said with a thoughtful look on his face: "Maybe there are dangerous areas in this dense forest that we don't know about. Fellow Daoist Li accidentally entered it and his breath was completely blocked, so this
The compass will no longer work."
"Then what should we do next?" Liang Yan asked again.
Ji Lai stayed silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "I think we have no time to delay anymore. After entering the forest, I had been following the examiner's traces, but when I was about to catch up, I suddenly
I accidentally stepped into the circle of monsters. Now I am afraid that I am very far away from the True Lord Lingjiu. We must catch up as soon as possible. As for Li Xiran, I believe that with her ability, she should be able to go smoothly even without our help.
passed."
After listening to Ji Lai's analysis, Liang Yan did not object. He just nodded and asked with concern:
"So how does Brother Ji feel now? Can he still move on?"
"It doesn't matter, I have recovered a lot from meditation, and I can hit the road now. As long as we are careful and don't encounter any powerful monsters, we can still catch up with the examiner and reach the next examination room before the end of the examination."
Ji said and stood up from the ground, looking really not too bad.
"Okay, then thank you, Brother Ji. We are already too far behind now, and we really don't have time to delay. After we catch up with the examiner and arrive at the second examination room, we will let you recover from your injuries."
"No problem, I know which direction the examiner is going. Brother Liang, just follow me."
Ji Lai chuckled and then took long strides towards the depths of the dense forest.
Half an hour later, Liang Yan followed Ji and walked in the dense forest.
"Brother Liang, look at the feathers on the branches. They are the clues left intentionally by the True Lord Lingjiu so that the monks who dispersed into the dense forest can find him." Ji Lai pointed to the white feathers on a branch above his head and analyzed.
.
Liang Yan raised his head and looked at the feather, narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and smiled: "The spiritual energy on this feather is condensed and will not disperse. It seems that the True Lord Spirit Vulture is not far away from here. Let's hurry up and catch up."
Up."
"Exactly!"
Ji Lai chuckled and said, "The direction Ji points to is absolutely correct. As long as Brother Liang follows me, he will pass the first round of assessment soon."
As he spoke, he sped up and walked quickly towards the dense forest ahead.
However, after taking just a few steps, Ji Lai stopped again, turned his head with some confusion, and looked at Liang Yan behind him.
"Brother Liang, why don't you leave? Although True Lord Lingjiu is not far ahead, we can't delay any longer. We must catch up as soon as possible."
"Go forward?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Liang Yan's lips, and he said lightly: "If I take one more step forward, I'm afraid I will be eliminated, right?"
"Brother Liang, what do you mean by this?"
Ji Lai's face was full of confusion and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else.
However, before he could say anything, he saw the man in gray clothes across from him suddenly sneered, then pushed forward with one hand, and a dark golden ring cut through the sky and headed straight for him.
Ji Lai's face changed slightly, and he no longer thought about talking. He tapped one foot lightly on the spot, jumped up high, grabbed a branch on the big tree behind him, and swung toward the distance like a swing.
boom!
There was a loud noise, but it was the golden ring hitting the open space, shattering several big trees around it. At this time, Ji Lai was no longer where he was.
Although Fang Huxian Valley couldn't fly and escape, his movement skills were extremely agile. At this time, he was already a hundred feet away by swinging lightly on the branches of the towering giant tree.
"Brother Liang, are you crazy? You actually attacked me?" Ji Lai hung on a branch and shouted angrily.
"Hey, Brother Ji, I didn't know you would hang on a tree like a monkey?"
Liang Yan smiled coldly, glanced around, and said calmly: "Stop hiding it. Since you want to plot against Liang, you have to show your true skills!"
As soon as he said this, "Ji Lai" hanging on the treetop suddenly laughed. The angry look before had long disappeared. Instead, he smiled and said: "Awesome, when did you see the flaw?
?”
"You don't understand the plan." Liang Yan shook his head and said, "A dozen Jindan realm monsters can't trap him, let alone leave any injuries on him, and"
After Liang Yan finished speaking, he glanced at "Ji Lai" hanging on the treetop, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ji will not leave his companion behind, especially when this companion is a beautiful female cultivator!"
"It turns out that you were testing me by saying so much to me before!"
"Ji Lai" on the treetop grinned, and his whole body was suddenly covered by a white light. After a few breaths, the white light slowly dissipated, revealing the figure inside, which turned out to be a six-armed ape!
At the same time, about half a foot in front of Liang Yan, a giant hand made of bluestone suddenly stretched out from the ground. It was incredibly fast, and it reached the top of his head in an instant and slapped him down.
Liang Yan seemed to have expected this. When he saw the giant hand reaching out, his face was calm. With a tap of his foot, the person stepped back a hundred feet away.
boom!
There was a loud noise, but it was the giant bluestone hand that slapped on the open ground, raising a large amount of dust.
And behind the dust, a tall figure could be vaguely seen.
Liang Yan retreated and stood under a big tree. He looked up and saw a huge stone man more than ten feet tall emerging from the ground behind the dust.
On the shoulders of the stone man, there is also a white-browed ape standing, which is the same as the one that was pretended to be before, and it also has six long arms.
The old ape looked a little stooped. He was holding a mahogany stick with one hand. He stretched out his hand to smooth the white beard under his forehead and squinted his eyes to look at Liang Yan under the stone man.
"Well, my observation skills are good. I was able to discover Xiao Liu's flaws. It's a pity that I underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. This assessment can only stop here." The white-browed old ape sighed softly as he spoke, with a look of regret on his face.
"What do you mean by this?" Liang Yan put his hands behind his back, his face remained unchanged, and he just asked lightly.
"It means you are going to be eliminated."
As the white-browed old ape spoke, he lightly slapped the peach wood staff on the stone man's shoulder. A burst of salsa sounds came from the surrounding dense forest. A moment later, more than ten six-armed apes emerged from the shadows.
.
"Are you also part of this assessment?" Liang Yan asked coldly.
While he was asking questions, the "Eight Parts of Evolution" technique in his body was also running. After a moment, he discovered that the aura exuded by the white-browed old ape was enough to rival the monks of the enemy's late Jindan period, and those six people surrounding him nearby
The arm monkey also has the strength from the early stage to the middle stage of the golden elixir.
"Yes, the entire Shuiyun Forest is the final venue for the first round of assessment, and the many monsters training in this forest are the final obstacles for you to pass this assessment."
The white-browed old ape on the stone man's shoulder stroked his white beard, and said with a smile: "We, the six-armed demon ape, are good at the art of illusion. We are responsible for deceiving the candidates in this assessment. If any candidate cannot tell the truth from the false, we will
You will be attracted into the trap we set in advance. Although you did not step into the trap just now, you still fell into our siege after all, and you can only fail this assessment."
"I see."
When Liang Yan heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Does being surrounded mean losing the election? I don't think this is necessarily the case?"
"Why, do you still want to break out?" The white-browed old ape sneered: "Your Excellency, you look down on our six-armed demon ape clan too much. Not to mention you, even if those candidates from the late Jindan period come,
It’s impossible to break out from here!”
"Breakout?"
Liang Yan shook his head with a half-smile, and slowly said, "I think you may have made a mistake. Liang has never thought of escaping from here."
Before he finished speaking, the man had disappeared on the spot. A strong wind roared in the air. The white-browed old ape on the stone man's shoulder shrank his pupils, and a flash of light shot out from his dim yellow eyes.
"rise!"
The white-browed old ape shouted loudly, and patted the head of the stone man next to him with one hand. The huge stone man immediately stood up from the ground, and smashed his two moss-covered stone fists towards somewhere in the air.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and Liang Yan's figure appeared in mid-air. He made a fist in his right hand, with a faint light flowing on it. At this time, he was touching the stone man's fists, and he didn't seem to be weak at all.
"Huh?"
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the white-browed old ape. You must know that the stone man under him is not simple. He uses thousands of years of ghost vines, evil shadow demon stones and many other precious materials, combined with his own demon elixir, elixir, and flower.
It took three hundred years to refine.
In terms of pure strength, this stone man puppet is already comparable to the body refiners of the human race's Golden Core Realm. The only drawback is that it has no intelligence and cannot adapt to changes. It can only be controlled by the white-browed old ape nearby.
But even so, this stone man puppet is one of his strongest methods. He thought that he would be able to defeat a mere monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Unexpectedly, the opponent actually resisted the stone man's attack with one hand.
With both fists, the white-browed old ape could not help but be stunned for a moment.
At this time, Liang Yan's face was calm, and the skills in his body were running silently. When the "Three Thousand Sins" method came to him, the power of this punch was endless, like the roar of an angry sea, one wave was stronger than the other!
"Click, click."
As a series of slight sounds came, fine cracks like spider webs appeared on the stone man's arms.
"not good!"
The white-browed old ape was shocked. It was only now that he realized that the strength of this monk, who seemed to be only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface!
However, the opponent didn't give him any time to react. At this moment, the golden light of his right fist flashed, lowering both of the stone man's arms by three inches. Then he stepped lightly with one foot and used the force on the stone arm to violently
One jump.
When the white-browed old ape raised his head, he saw that the man had reached the top of his head, and five dark golden rings buzzed around him, blocking all his escape routes.
At the same time, the opponent's big hand suddenly grabbed forward and grabbed his neck in an instant. As a huge force poured into his body, the white-browed old ape felt dizzy and his soul was almost shaken.
Out of body.
When his eyes were filled with stars, a man's voice came from his ears and said with a smile: "Liang never planned to break out of the encirclement. As the saying goes, capture the thief first. Capture the king first. If you want to pass this test, you have to wrong the clan leader."
