"How many more people are there?" Ni Qianjun, whose burly upper body was covered by a red cloak, who had not slept for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, asked.
"We still have ten people, Blue Crystal has five people, and Silver Scorpion has the largest number of people left. There are still twelve people, but they are all at the end of their strength and unable to fight anymore." In just three days, he was as strong as a calf.
The barbarian's cheeks were sunken and his spirit was listless. The few mercenaries who survived the Backfire Mercenary Group were in similar condition to the barbarian.
As soon as they entered the Alchemy Tomb, under the influence of the blood mist, the cultivation level of each team member dropped a lot.
Thanks to Ni Qianjun distributing a durian pill to each of them before departure, the mercenaries of Ni Qianjun survived these few days, but their situation was only slightly better than the other two mercenary groups.
That’s all.
Not long after entering the swamp, Lan Jing raked it over, revealing his true colors, and joined forces with the Silver Scorpion mercenary group lurking in the dark to snipe the Backfire mercenary group.
Fortunately, Ni Qianjun was already on guard, as he had never trusted Lan Jing.
They retreated to the nearest ancient village. Unexpectedly, Lan Jing and Yin Scorpion were fully prepared this time. They stayed outside the village and faced off with Nihuo's gang for three days, trying to trap Nihuo to death.
Fire Mercenary Group.
These three days have been a nightmare for all mercenaries and for both the offensive and defensive sides.
On the first day they entered the village, something strange happened. The mercenaries could not sleep. Even Ni Qianjun himself was flustered for no reason. He often dreamed of the mysterious beasts he had hunted and annihilated during his more than ten years as a mercenary.
of enemies.
The next day, Abu in the group woke up with his crazy screams. They watched helplessly as Abu mutilated his body and finally fell to the ground and died.
Thinking of that scene, Ni Qianjun's chest started to feel tight and painful.
At first, he thought that people from Silver Scorpion and Lan Jing had poisoned them, but after inquiring, he found that people from Lan Jing and Silver Scorpion also died of unknown causes.
Fear is like the blood mist, covering everyone's heart.
Mercenaries are not afraid of death, they are afraid of the unknown.
In order to avoid a similar situation from happening again, the mercenaries of Backfire only ate the water and food they brought with them, and never touched a sip of water from the Dan Demon Tomb. The water and food they brought with them rotted and deteriorated at an alarming rate. They had already had two
I haven't eaten or drank anything for two days and nights.
Some mercenaries with weak cultivation cannot resist the blood mist. Some people die every day and some go crazy.
In the swamp, there were muddy poisonous bubbles all day long, and the pungent poisonous gas kept coming out. In order to resist the poisonous gas, they had to transport the remaining mysterious energy in their bodies, and the mysterious energy was consumed faster than ever.
Only relying on the strong will of the mercenaries, they moved step by step deeper into the Alchemy Tomb.
"Deputy commander, let's go back?" Manzi cried with a sad face. This was the first time he was so scared after so many years as a mercenary.
"You haven't completed your mission, so you can't turn back and release the spirit butterfly," Ni Qianjun's voice was hoarse, the result of not drinking water for several days.
Although the direction was unclear and the swamp looked unchanged, Ni Qianjun could feel intuitively that they had entered the heart of the Alchemy Tomb.
After reaching this point, having so many brothers die, and looking back with nothing to gain, he couldn't do it.
Ni Qianjun could only rely on his biological clock to estimate that he had been trapped in the Alchemy Tomb for almost two days. According to the agreement with Old Telo, as long as the three days were three days, the devil would not be found.
Crystal, he must lead people out of the Alchemy Tomb.
Ni Qianjun didn't know that there was no day and night progress, no water and food supplies, and the special effects of the blood mist had dulled his body's instincts a lot. He didn't know that three days and three days had passed.
At night, Lao Teluo had ordered the fire dragon sail to leave.
Manzi took out a box and opened it carefully.
Inside the box was an ice-white butterfly, which looked like a jade sculpture, but when the box mouth was opened, the butterfly's large transparent wings flapped slightly.
Different from ordinary butterflies, this butterfly has only one antennae on its head, and at the top of the antennae is a round exogenous xuandan.
The Ice and Fire Spirit Butterfly is a fifth-level mysterious beast. The female Ice and Fire Spirit Butterfly's mysterious core grows on its tentacles, just like an antenna. When it encounters a spiritual treasure, the exogenous mysterious core will emit red light.
Especially when you are trapped in a maze with no direction, it can be used to find the exit. The mysterious elixir on its tentacles will emit white light. Although this female spirit butterfly can detect the direction of the treasure, it has a fatal flaw.
Its lifespan is very short, and it will die after flying for one night. Therefore, the female Ice and Fire Spirit Butterfly has another name, also called the Red-faced Butterfly, which means that the beauty is ill-fated and will perish in the blink of an eye.
This Spirit Butterfly is the weapon of the Ni Qianjun mercenary group in this treasure hunt. Ni Qianjun will never take it out until the last moment.
The female Ice Fire Spirit Butterfly flew up gracefully, like a snowflake in the blood mist.
It first flew around in the blood mist for a moment, then suddenly, the exogenous mysterious core at the top of its tentacles emitted a piece of precious light towards the north.
"North," Ni Qianjun jumped up. The mercenaries were all refreshed and flew towards the north.
Lingdie leads the way, while Ni Qianjun and others are chasing after them.
After a while, the swamp disappeared, and a crystallized lake covering several miles appeared in front of it.
The mercenaries all stopped. The magnificent scenery in front of them seemed like a pair of invisible hands, grabbing their breath and making them unable to control themselves.
Beside the lake, there are various crystals shaped like flower clusters and plants growing, which are as tall as a person and as thick as a thumb.
"Devil's crystals, all are devil's crystals. Make a fortune. This time I really make a fortune." After several days of hardship and the deaths of their brothers, this group of mercenaries was already on the verge of collapse. They rushed towards them like crazy.
He entered the lake, knocked off the crystals with the weapon in his hand, and stuffed them into his bag.
"The middle of the lake, the middle of the lake," Manzi pointed to the middle of the lake. There is a crystal shaped like a stone tablet. It is also like a small island in the middle of the lake, hazy in the blood mist, adding a bit more beauty.
.
The beauty of the lake is enough to take everyone's breath away.
Barbarian rushed towards the lake desperately.
"Barbarian, come back," Ni Qianjun was shocked by the beauty of the lake, but at the same time he felt a palpitation in his heart.
The eldest brother has repeatedly warned himself that overly beautiful things are like overly beautiful women and cannot be easily contaminated.
He was wary and glanced at the Ice Fire Spirit Butterfly.
The exogenous mysterious core of the Ice Fire Spirit Butterfly turned black, a deathly black.
"Oops,"
When the barbarian stepped onto the lake, the ice-like lake surface quickly shattered, and the transparent ice surface quickly turned into a blood-like lake. Countless poisonous swamp bubbles were like the hands of evil spirits from hell, entangled
He grabbed the man's feet and knees and dragged him into the lake.
Beside the shore, the crystals stuffed into the bags by the mercenaries turned into pairs of severed hands, grabbing the bodies of the mercenaries and dragging them into the poisonous lake.
"Manzi," Ni Qianjun threw off his cloak, wrapped it around Manzi's hand, stabilized his lower body, and wanted to pull Manzi ashore.
There were screams and pleas. Seeing his former partners being dragged into the poisonous swamp one by one, Ni Qianjun could only hold on to his cloak tightly.
His feet suddenly became weak, and his body began to sink. The river bank he was standing on turned into mud at some point.
"Deputy Captain, let go," Manzi, who had half of his body sunk into the swamp, came to his senses. He looked at Ni Qianjun's body, slowly sinking into the poisonous swamp like his own.
"Guard your nose and mouth, I'll pull you up," Ni Qianjun clenched his teeth, his bones made a clicking sound, and the blue tendons on his arms ****.
A dazzling red light burst out from Ni Qianjun's body, temporarily stabilizing his sinking body.
Ni Qianjun freed up his right hand and put a durian pill into his mouth. The mysterious energy slowly filled his Dantian.
"Get up!" he shouted, and was about to pull the barbarian out of the poisonous swamp.
"Jie Jie," a harsh laugh came from the sky.
A gap opened in the dark red sky, and the gap became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a ferocious bloody eye, staring at Ni Qianjun.
The blood eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. When Ni Qianjun raised his eyes to see the blood eyes clearly, the blood eyes blinked suddenly. At the moment of blinking, Ni Qianjun felt a roar in his head, as if he was struck by lightning.
My head hurt violently.
The movement of pulling the person in his hand suddenly stopped, and his body fell straight down like a bird with broken wings.
Ni Qianjun barely managed to stand still, and the cloak in his hand broke at the sound.
"Barbarian," there was only one word in his mind, and he rushed over and took Barbarian's hand.
His body couldn't stop sliding towards the poisonous swamp, and the poisonous gas rising from the lake kept getting into Ni Qianjun's nose and mouth.
"A Feng, let go. Brother, I appreciate it. Take the Ice and Fire Spirit Butterfly and escape. Get out of this hellish place." Manzi had tears streaming down his face. He howled, ranging from scolding to pleading.
"Brother Manzi, I am not the eldest brother after all. I can't leave you behind," Ni Qianjun laughed, with sincerity in his eyes.
Manzi's eyes were blurry. He still remembered that the immature red-haired boy called "Brother Manzi" with a smile when he first joined the Backfire Mercenary Group.
"A Feng, I believe Brother Manzi, you will be stronger than Nihuo in the future, so walk out alive," Manzi laughed heartily, he raised his big ax and chopped at his arm.
In an instant, blood splashed on Ni Qianjun's face, hot from the orangutan's.
Barbarian's body immediately fell into a poisonous swamp.
"No!!" The violent cry shook the sky.
A red beam of light burst out crazily from Ni Qianjun's body.
At that moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and all the blood mist for miles around was washed away.
"Look ahead," Yue Jinghua and Feng Buhui, who had been wandering near the swamp after leaving the ancient village, discovered the scene ahead.
Outside the Alchemy Tomb, a man in black was suspended in mid-air. His beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a somewhat dangerous light.
"The light of Tianxuan, I never thought that that boy Ni Qianjun would break through Tianxuan in the Alchemy Tomb. It's interesting. This is worthy of my personal action." The figure of the man in black gradually disappeared into the blood mist, and then
