After these people drank the blood, their skin turned red, their eyes seemed to pop out, and they breathed in air, causing a strong sense of suffocation.
But it can be seen from the expressions on their faces that they enjoy it very much.
Chen Xuan thought to himself that it was indeed an evil sect. The purpose of refining the Blood Nightmare Pill was probably to cultivate some kind of evil internal power, and holding the blood sacrifice ceremony might be a kind of training process.
Chen Xuan guessed that the man in the gorgeous robe was the owner of the Earth Fire Castle.
The seven people surrounding the castle master were all dressed in different styles. They were different from the guards in black. They were probably seven elders.
Huai Fengyu motioned for everyone to retreat further to discuss, so as not to be overheard by the castle master.
The ultimate master in the secular world, his ability to identify positions by listening to the wind is not even inferior to that of low-level immortal cultivators.
"Fellow Daoist Huai, what do you think we should do now?"
Liu Yan expected Huai Fengyu to come up with a perfect countermeasure.
Huai Fengyu said with a serious face: "More than half an hour has passed. If we want to complete the task within an hour, we must attack the stone palace and fight a tough battle."
"storm?
There are only seven of us now, and I don’t know if Qin Ming is dead, but the other party has a top master and seven first-rate masters, plus hundreds of guards, so it is completely impossible for us to win in a head-on battle."
Yixuan did not agree with Huai Fengyu's proposal.
Huai Fengyu frowned: "There is indeed a gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves. According to the difficulty of this task, we can only give up the twenty good works and complete the task in the safest way."
"Since Samsara Star Lord has arranged it this way, there must be other ways to complete it in advance, but the conditions are more stringent. We may need to search other places."
Taizhen gave his own proposal.
"We don't have time. How about you and Chen Xuan go searching?"
Yi Xuan's words did not make him feel kind.
But Chen Xuan immediately responded: "Fellow Taoist Taoist priest, let's take a look nearby."
"good."
Tai Zhen was thinking about the mysterious figure in the dungeon, and he had long wanted to find an excuse to leave the team.
In his opinion, completing the main task ahead of schedule will reward twenty more good deeds.
If you can dig out the hidden mission from that mysterious figure, you will definitely get more rewards.
As for traveling with Chen Xuan, Taizhen obviously couldn't refuse, even if there were multiple people taking care of him.
Chen Xuan's thoughts were similar to those in Taizhen, but he was not in a hurry to go back to the dungeon.
Because Chen Xuan believes that the key factor to unlocking the mysterious figure in the dungeon is likely to be the owner of the Fire Castle, and it is impossible to activate the hidden mission by returning empty-handed now.
It's better to look around for other key points.
Watching Chen Xuan and Tai Zhen leave, Yi Xuan snorted softly: "These two people think we don't know, what's the difference between going back to the dungeon and seeking death?"
"You said they went back to find the mysterious man?"
Liu Yan was suddenly worried that some hidden rewards would be snatched away by Chen Xuan and Taizhen.
So far, they have only obtained thirty meritorious deeds to save the righteous master.
"Don't worry, how can the secret of the mysterious man in the dungeon be so easy to solve?
Not to mention that with only two three natal stars, we still have to think carefully about how to complete the main task before the hour is up; the task prompt on the orange crystal star mark tells us to break the Earth Fire Castle conspiracy, and it does not necessarily have to be with the Earth Fire Castle.
The Lord of the Earth Fire Fort has a head-on battle, let’s think about whether there is any other way.”
Huai Fengyu hopes to make the final decision through brainstorming, although they only have five people left.
"I think that no matter what, we must kill the owner of the Earth Fire Castle. Think about it, what kind of reward will we get if we leapfrog and kill a top martial artist?"
As soon as Yixuan said this, the eyes of the others lit up slightly.
Not to mention in the mission world, they have experienced in their respective realms in the past, leapfrogged and killed opponents stronger than themselves, and the rewards they received every time were very generous.
Therefore, these five chosen ones all hope in their hearts that they can kill the Lord of the Fire Castle with their own hands.
"Yes, we can go back to the secret passage to collect hidden weapons, and launch the hidden weapons outside the stone palace to sneak attack the castle master."
Another goddess chooser beside Liu Yan said.
“You can give it a try!”
Huai Fengyu was the first to agree.
So the five people quickly returned to the secret passage to look for usable hidden weapons.
At this time, Chen Xuan and Tai Zhen are in another secret passage, and Tai Zhen walks directly along the direction of the dungeon.
"Hey, fellow Evil Emperor, don't you want to go back to the dungeon too?"
Seeing Chen Xuan stop, Tai Zhen looked confused on the surface, but secretly on guard in his heart.
"Fellow Taoist Taoist, it's a waste of time to go back to the dungeon now. I still want to try to complete the main task in advance."
Chen Xuan said, no matter how Tai Zhen made his decision, he walked towards one of the stone rooms on his own.
Tai Zhen glanced at Chen Xuan, said nothing, and walked down the road to the dungeon.
Of the ten chosen ones, except for two who died, the eight were divided into four teams, and three of them acted alone. Compared with just now, the overall strength was greatly reduced.
As soon as he entered this stone room, Chen Xuan smelled a faint smell of sulfur.
In the dim light, Chen Xuan saw an uncle-looking man sitting at the wooden table in the stone room, taking a nap.
At that moment, Chen Xuan rushed over and tapped his acupoints. The uncle was so frightened that he opened his mouth wide and was speechless.
"I'm going to ask you some questions and you're not allowed to shout."
Seeing Chen Xuan's cold eyes, the uncle quickly nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Chen Xuan untied the uncle's mute point and asked in a deep voice: "What is this stone room used for?
What is your identity in the Earthfire Castle?"
"I, the villain, am just a miner under the mountain. I was captured by them to use gunpowder to dig holes in the mountain. Please don't kill me! I have never done anything bad in my life!"
The uncle's voice was trembling, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Chen Xuan was slightly stunned after hearing this. He finally understood why he smelled sulfur. It turned out that this was a stone chamber specially used to make gunpowder.
Scanning the surrounding area, Chen Xuan saw that the stone chamber was filled with various homemade explosives. Since it could be used to blow up the mountain wall, its power should be enough to threaten the top experts.
"Have you ever made a powerful and portable gunpowder?"
When Chen Xuan asked, the miner's uncle nodded quickly. Chen Xuan led him to a corner and picked up one of the packets of black gunpowder.
"This pack of black gunpowder is specially prepared by me. It uses 10% sulfur, 15% charcoal, and 75% saltpeter. You will definitely be satisfied with its power."
"Very good, your acupuncture points will be released in an hour."
Chen Xuan grabbed the bag of black powder and a fire seal and quickly rushed back to the stone palace where the blood sacrifice ceremony was held. Seeing that Huai Fengyu and the others were not there, he thought that a few of them might have returned to the dungeon.
Just when Chen Xuan was thinking about how to ignite black gunpowder and blow it up to the owner of the Underground Fire Castle, he suddenly noticed a black shadow on the top of the stone palace, dormant like a cat. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qin Ming, who had never appeared.
At this time, Qin Ming held his breath, with a look of pride, nervousness, excitement, etc. in his eyes. He pressed the mechanism on a golden cylinder in his hand, and only heard a subtle clicking sound. The cylinder instantly unfolded into a metal fan, with blurred brilliance.
, like a peacock spreading its tail.
Chen Xuan's eyes flickered, and he instantly thought of an extremely powerful hidden weapon: "Peacock Feather"! He didn't know where Qin Ming found this object in Dihuo Castle.
It was too late, but soon, Qin Ming pointed the hidden weapon in his hand at the Lord of the Earth Fire Castle in the palace below. In an instant, thousands of terrifying hidden weapons were shot out, covering the Lord of the Earth Fire Castle and everyone else in the palace.
