The light inside the ancient tomb was dim, and even the stone carvings on the walls were very similar, making Long Xingyun feel like he was spinning in circles.
After more than ten minutes, Long Xingyun couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Boss, we seem to have been tricked. Are we trapped in the Tomb Sect's formation?"
Ye Cheng shook his head very slightly, his eyes constantly looking at the stone walls around him. At the same time, he paused for a moment, then walked shoulder to shoulder with Long Xingyun who was following him, and said with a slight squirm: "This formation
Someone is controlling it and can see us. They will pinpoint the direction of my attack and slash it in with their sword!"
Long Xingyun's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately understood why he had been circling in circles since he came in. Then he gently tapped the hilt of the snake bone sword with his right hand, indicating that he understood and could take action at any time.
.
Ye Cheng concentrated all his energy, maximized his intuition, and sensed the differences in the surrounding walls.
After walking a distance of nearly ten feet in silence, Ye Cheng suddenly turned around and aimed at a stone wall on the left and struck at it. The speed was so fast that even Long Xingyun was slowed down for a moment before he drew his sword and stabbed directly.
"boom!"
Ye Cheng's right fist, filled with internal energy, hit the stone wall so hard that almost half of his arm was embedded in it. The entire stone sculpture spread in a radial pattern, and a trace of blood seeped out of the cracks.
There was a muffled groan inside the stone wall, and before he could catch his breath, he looked desperately at the sharp sword that had pierced his eyes, and the cold light that bloomed ended his life.
Long Xingyun withdrew his long sword, his expression was astonished, and he said angrily: "No wonder I haven't gone out after wandering for a long time. It turns out that these birdmen have set up a trick. I guess many people have been fooled. Boss, you can go in now!"
"
Ye Cheng pulled the body out, groped inside the stone wall for a while, and pulled the handle he found.
"Click~"
The stone wall less than three feet away from them suddenly moved, and soon a stone cave that was two people shoulder-width apart was revealed. Ye Cheng said to Long Xingyun: "Be careful down there, there must be a lot of traps!
"
Long Xingyun nodded unhappily, grabbed the snake bone sword and walked a few steps towards the cave. He took a look and said with a smile: "This ancient tomb has become a mouse hole, no wonder it needs to be moved out, but this Li Mo
Chou actually likes to lie down here and nestle."
Ye Cheng took the lead and stepped in. The two of them walked less than four feet away, one after the other. The stone door behind them suddenly closed. The visibility in the originally dark stone cave plummeted to less than one foot.
"Boss, I seem to have stepped on a trap!"
"Don't move, keep your posture!"
After walking for less than a minute, even though he was careful, Long Xingyun was still caught. The stone slab under his feet had sunk down about two inches. Ye Cheng looked at it carefully. Although the color and size of this stone slab were the same as those around him,
, but the gap with the surrounding stone slabs is slightly larger.
The surrounding walls were as smooth as a mirror. Ye Cheng raised his head and looked at the top of his head, suddenly breaking out in cold sweat. The stone wall above his head was like a honeycomb, with densely packed small holes arranged on it. It is conceivable that if Long Xingyun raised his foot now,
There must have been an overwhelming barrage of arrows coming down from the sky. No matter how good you are, if you haven't mastered Qinggong, you will definitely be shot into a sieve.
Long Xingyun naturally saw the situation above his head, and said in a dry voice: "Boss, is there any other way? If it doesn't work, forget it, you go first, I will destroy myself in a while!"
Ye Cheng took out a javelin left by the six-man group, pierced the gap between the stone slabs with the tip of the spear, and whispered: "Slowly lift your feet!"
Long Xingyun followed Ye Cheng's instructions and slowly raised his left foot. He was extremely nervous, for fear of triggering the mechanism. Fortunately, except for the stone slab rising slightly when he just raised his foot, there was no other movement, leaving the two of them hanging.
My heart felt relieved.
Long Xingyun wiped the small beads of sweat on his head and breathed a sigh of relief: "It really scared me to death. Fortunately, boss, you were quick to act in a hurry, otherwise I would be hanging here!"
"Pull it down! Move quickly. Even if you step on the mechanism, you have to hold on. Don't move!"
The two of them had just walked two feet away when they heard a clang. When they looked back, they saw that the javelin they had just inserted fell to the ground, and the stone slab returned to its original position with a few creaks.
"Grass" Ye Cheng couldn't help but swore, and ran away as soon as he pulled Long Xingyun. In less than a breath, there was a clanging sound behind him, and dense arrows hit the stone slab like rain, tightly
Chase behind the two of them.
The corridor of more than ten feet was too long for them. Shi Shi, who was running in front, jerked his body, grabbed Ye Cheng and Long Xingyun, and swung it violently towards the exit. It also used all four limbs on its own,
Running with all his strength, there was a faint tendency to catch up from behind, and within a short while he caught up with the two people who were thrown away.
After being thrown twice by stones, the two finally rushed out of the tunnel, and thus avoided the tragedy of being pierced by thousands of arrows.
Long Xingyun walked to Shitou, who was also panting hard. The explosion just now was so violent that even Shitou felt it was very laborious. It took him dozens of breaths to slowly calm down. Looking at the wine handed over by Long Xingyun, he was indifferent.
He grabbed it politely, raised his head and drank it down. The wine worth more than a thousand taels was gone within a few sips.
Leaning on the cold stone wall, Ye Cheng had time to look at the surrounding situation. The light in this stone room was much brighter. There were four stone figures neatly placed in the square stone room. Although these stone figures did not have jade, they
The gorgeous feeling, but the tall figure outlined by the fine lines all over the body interprets another kind of masculine charm.
Ye Cheng felt like he was being plotted against. He had just escaped from the tunnel where thousands of arrows were fired, and now he had to deal with the stone men in front of him. It was not that they had to do this, but these sixteen stone men.
There is a high and low passage in the back.
Long Xingyun, who was almost rested, said dullly: "I'm really lucky today. These sixteen big stone men remind me of the Jade General. They are another difficult thing to deal with. Boss, why don't we try to get around them?"
?”
Ye Cheng smiled bitterly, looked around and said, "Go around? Do you think there is enough space here?"
Long Xingyun turned to Shi Shi, who was half-squinting at the side, and asked in a low voice: "In my opinion, it's better to let Shi Shi go explore the situation! These stone men must be in the same formation, and we can also observe from the side, maybe
Maybe there will be some discoveries.”
Ye Cheng nodded in acquiescence. There was no good way at the moment, so he could only let the stone explore the way. He looked at the stone on the side, took out a jar of old wine and threw it over. The King of Hell was not afraid of evil spirits, so he naturally let the stone go first.
Get over some alcohol addiction.
Shitou, who was so drunk, turned over and rushed into the crowd of stone men. His fists and legs were whistling in the wind, and the sound of banging was endless, and he fought passionately with these stone men.
"Boss, take one! What do you think is the weakness of this stone man? I've been looking at it for a long time. In addition to good defense and flexible movements, I really don't see anything interesting about these things!"
Ye Chengmi took a sip of wine, pointed at the stone man with his wine glass and said: "These stone men must be using formations, otherwise they would have been demolished by the stones long ago!"
"Then let's let the stone people come back. We've been fighting for a while, and we've received a lot of punches. I just don't know if these stone people will follow!"
"Stone, come back!"
Although the stone has thick skin and rough flesh, and its movements are very flexible, it still cannot gain the upper hand. These stone men constantly change their positions according to certain rules. Often the stone will hit them with a punch, and the stone man in front of them will retreat to the back. The stone men on both sides also attacked the rocks, so after fighting for a long time, they were only hit by rocks, but they didn't hit the stone men at all.
Hearing Ye Cheng's call, Shitou bowed his body and received several punches before escaping from the formation. He returned to Ye Cheng and squatted on the ground, grinning constantly, looking like he was in pain. The look made Ye Cheng and Long Xingyun laugh for a while, and gave it another jar of wine before they calmed down.
After the stone rushed away more than ten feet away, the stone man took heavy steps and regained his original position in an orderly manner.
"Boss, it seems these things are really difficult to deal with. I guess even you can't handle killing them with five punches!"
Ye Cheng nodded and said: "Our defense is unbearable, but we have good news for you!"
Long Xingyun immediately became energetic, and as soon as he released the wine bottle, he said: "What's the good news? Have you found a flaw in these things? I knew you were the best, boss. Tell me!"
"Okay, okay, stop flattering, I haven't found any flaws, but this formation is indeed a good thing! If we want to upgrade our Qinggong, we must rely on it!"
Long Xingyun rolled his eyes and knew what Ye Cheng was thinking. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "Good attention, good idea! My Qinggong has stopped at the sixth level for a long time. It seems that today is a good opportunity to break through." !But we have to wait for the stone to respond, otherwise we will be blown to pieces accidentally."
"The two of us are going together, so there will be less pressure! Let's go!"
Although Ye Cheng didn't find a way to pass this level, he found a good way to practice. Although he saw the stone in the formation in a very embarrassed state, when the two of them stretched out the formation, they felt it firsthand. This pressure comes.
The stone man's attack power barely reaches an advanced level, which is quite good for Ye Cheng. Even if he takes one or two punches, it will only cost him a small mouthful of blood. But Long Xingyun is not good at it, and the defense of his equipment is much lower. , and even though the intermediate level "Fufeng Chasing Shadow" can barely achieve the effect of chasing shadows at the sixth level, it still has great limitations in the formation. In less than one stick of incense, he was punched three times in the face. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he hurriedly rushed outside the formation, and the stone was quickly swept over, and Long Xingyun was thrown out at the cost of three punches.
As soon as Long Xingyun left, the formation composed of sixteen stones finally exerted its maximum power. Ye Cheng, who had been able to deal with it calmly just now, immediately fell into a swamp, and the range of movement accumulated and shrank. Although he could barely cope with it, he continued to To hit a punch, you can only open the golden bell at the right time. These two skills that you never had the chance to practice now need to be used constantly.
For advanced martial arts, the difficulty of advancing to each level is several times that of intermediate martial arts. Even if the first four levels only rely on usage, more usage is required to upgrade.
Under the heavy pressure of the Stone Man Formation, Ye Cheng was completely immersed in it. Even if there were occasional attacks that he could not avoid, he could open the golden bell in time to minimize the damage he suffered.
After a while, Long Xingyun finished his rest and rushed in. It was obvious that he had benefited from the practice just now.
The two of them were immersed in the practice and completely forgot about the flow of time. The only free guy was drinking wine and doing his job as a firefighter. Ye Cheng was also pulled out three times during the process, mainly due to the consumption of internal energy.
It's really too huge.
Long Xingyun has gradually improved a lot since he was kicked out of the formation at the beginning. In the later period, he was thrown out by stones because of too much internal energy consumption.
Just when Ye Cheng successfully advanced You Longbu and Jin Zhongzhao to the fourth floor, less than half an hour later, the stone slabs behind him collapsed. The stone hurriedly jumped up and was not hit by the broken stone door.
It's a pity that he only drank half of the jar of old wine, and the aroma of wine suddenly filled the stone room.
Of course, Ye Cheng and Long Xingyun knew something was going on. They hurriedly avoided the stone man's attack and escaped from the battle circle. They looked at the several people who had entered the stone door and frowned, wondering how they could meet them here.
