Jiang Li isolated a space without Yin Qi in the coffin, so that these new friends could first use the rich spiritual energy in the coffin to recover.
He was in the outside world, but He Jianxiu Shenshan Qiuhua encountered a ten-meter-tall mud monster, which was a powerful individual in the foundation building stage.
However, at present, this mud monster is firmly bound in place by some kind of force and cannot move. It can only throw mud balls at Jiang Li from a distance.
This is obviously the work of the United Competition. They believe that this kind of monster is too out of character. If it is not restricted, the monks in the Qi Refining Stage may not even have a chance to escape.
And if you don't consider a certain cheat, the facts are indeed similar.
Shenshan Qiuhua is already considered to be an extremely outstanding first-tier team among the Qi Refining Stage monks in this competition.
But her water-fire sword technique, which is both offensive and defensive, has completely lost its effect here.
The thickness of the mud covering the surface of the mud monster is unknown, whether it is one meter, two meters, or more.
These seemingly ordinary pieces of mud, under the influence of the monster's power, become extremely defensive and very difficult to deal with.
The exploding fire sword energy hitting it was unable to penetrate the mud layer at all. Instead, the mud layer was like a swamp, swallowing up the sword light and disappearing.
Even if you don't use sword energy and instead use fire spells to dry out the sludge on the surface piece by piece and then shoot it down, in the swamp where mud is everywhere, it can be replenished at any time and endlessly!
Junior sister Qiu Hua, who is known as the Divine Mountain Sword of Water and Fire, fought at the opponent for a long time, but the opponent still stood there calmly. She herself was exhausted first.
Even Shushan sword cultivators cannot easily fight across levels. Their true power comes after they awaken their sword heart talent.
The sword heart that ignores defense, coupled with the terrifying power of the sword technique, is their power to intimidate the heavy mountains. However, in the early stage, they were just a little stronger than others.
Seeing that Shenshan Qiuhua could not be attacked for a long time, Jiang Li also joined the battle.
As always, he is still good at magic.
Nearly endless dark green light bloomed, and the forty-meter-long large wooden dragon fell in the quagmire, stirring up a vicious wind.
The sludge monster and Shenshan Qiuhua were both confused. What was going on with this guy? How could he get angry at the slightest disagreement?
Don’t you want to try again? Don’t you want to come back again?
Looking at the huge wooden dragon, Shenshan Qiuhua still felt a sense of familiarity in Jiang Li.
One of her Fire Sword seniors is like this, he uses big moves, which are incredibly powerful and continuous.
I really envy this kind of battle where there is no need to consider the consumption of spiritual energy.
The sludge monster was restricted by runes and could not move, so it could only watch the wooden dragon rush forward.
Then the bloated mud monster, which was ten meters tall, was entangled tightly as soon as it came face to face.
Through the wooden dragon, Jiang Li could feel that the mud monster's body was sliding downwards in the mud. He probably wanted to achieve the effect of the golden cicada's shelling by discarding the mud shell.
But how could Jiang Li let this guy run away like this?
The wooden dragon's four front and rear claws were deeply embedded in the mud, firmly grasping its body, and then dug into the mud to tear it apart, and finally pulled out an ugly head inside.
The huge body collapsed weakly, and the large sludge lost its support and flowed in all directions, revealing a headless long-haired monster.
This kind of monster seems to have become uglier as it grows larger.
Huh?
"What's this?"
As the silt peeled off, a square wooden box also took shape next to the exposed body of the sludge demon.
It's just that this wooden box is also covered in layers of silt, so it doesn't look like a treasure box, but rather collapsed.
"Junior sister Qiu Hua."
Jiang Li controlled the wooden dragon, grabbed the wooden box with his claws, and then handed the wooden box to the opponent.
Jiang Li didn't need to say much, Shenshan Qiu Hua already understood. As soon as he raised his hand, a stream of water hit the wooden box, quickly washing away the sludge on it.
But what makes Jiang Li a little disappointed is that this wooden box is not a cherished ancestor's treasure, but just a treasure box reward that the sect jointly put here in advance.
He waved his hand and used spiritual energy to open the lid. Placed inside were two tokens that were shining with spiritual light.
After all, they had defeated the monsters in the Foundation Establishment Period, so giving them some trophies wouldn't be too much.
The two tokens do not look any different, and the spiritual energy on them is not very strong. They look like they are just two ordinary tokens, not any special magic weapon.
Jiang Li took one piece and looked at it carefully, then handed the other piece to Qiu Hua.
He looked at the lines on the token and felt a little familiar, and was thinking about where he had seen it before.
However, he found that no one took the token he passed, and Shenshan Qiuhua, who was standing beside him, had no intention of taking it.
"Junior sister, what are you doing?"
Jiang Li asked strangely.
"Senior brother killed that monster with all his strength. The things in this box should be his trophies."
Shenshan Qiuhua's outlook on life is very rigid. Regarding the battle just now, she felt that she had not played any role, so she did not intend to share the spoils.
From now on, if someone wants to pursue her as a Taoist companion, it will be difficult even to give her a gift.
Jiang Li was also somewhat accustomed to her character, so he stretched out his hand and stuffed another token into her arms.
"Junior sister, don't say such things. We just cooperated with each other. Without your attention to attract it, I wouldn't be able to kill it directly."
"This token is the pass token of this maze. As long as you hold it, you will no longer be affected by the fog. However, the effect of taking one token is exactly the same as taking two tokens."
"If you don't take this token, it's useless for me to keep it, so junior sister, just take it."
After looking at the introduction on another piece of paper in the wooden box, he understood the purpose of this thing.
It seems that when the wooden sign at the entrance to the swamp says "the shortest way", it doesn't just mean the distance, but mainly refers to these two tokens.
Jiang Li held the token, and he remembered where he had seen the patterns on it.
This has many similarities with the patterns on the foundation stone he dug out at that time.
But many of the rune techniques on the foundation stone of the formation are very ancient, and the patterns on this token are full of the style of the Dazhong Mountain Immortal Cultivation World that Jiang Li is familiar with.
Obviously, this is a permission token created by formation masters from various major sects based on the formation base runes after cracking the illusion of this misty mountain.
It is equivalent to disassembling the lock and fitting the key according to the lock core.
Jiang Li, who is also a Rune Array Master, knows that the difficulty here is very high, at least he himself is far from reaching this level.
Even if you can barely reach the level, this is still a job that takes a lot of time and energy, and generally speaking, it cannot be done by an array mage.
Otherwise, when he dug out the foundation stone, he would have tried it himself.
Jiang Li walked into a fog with the token. Although his line of sight was still blocked, the weird feeling of being in a confused direction and upside down did not appear again.
He turned around and walked out of the mist steadily. Sure enough, the effect of the maze was blocked.
The little girl from the Shenshan family was also surprised when she saw this. The effects of this maze made all the monks very anxious.
With this token, it means that you can directly take off and fly to the finish line. Doesn't it mean that you have passed the first test?
She hesitated for a moment, and finally took the token at Jiang Li's insistence.
After all, waste is shameful.
Anyway, I have to repay the favor of saving my life, so I can repay him more later, that's all.
She didn't know what she thought of, but a blush appeared on Shenshan Qiuhua's face.
There are still many traps and poisonous miasma on the two mountains in front, but now they no longer need to endure those tests. They only need to take the token and fly to the end.
Shenshan Qiuhua stepped on the flying sword and rose into the sky, and Jiang Li also stepped on the air and climbed higher step by step, submerging into the clouds.
He originally wanted to stay a little longer and try to burn and copy the token himself, but he found that the token's runes had very sophisticated confidentiality measures. His level was still far behind, that is,
I had no choice but to give up.
The speed of flying in the air is naturally much faster than walking on complicated routes.
After breaking through the second mountain, the third and fourth mountains appeared in front of them.
Sai Fang ingeniously used the fog to form a huge maze, covering and connecting the last two mountains.
Contestants need to advance in the maze and face various dangerous traps.
But in this maze, in addition to dangers, there are also many good things, such as magic pills, permission tokens similar to those held by Jiang Li, and many specially configured miasma-removing pills.
That was the elixir prepared to deal with the old poisonous miasma on the fourth mountain.
In this aspect, those wealthy monks took advantage.
Because as long as it is a higher-quality detoxifying pill and a poison-avoiding pill, taking a few more pills can have an effect on the poisonous miasma. They don't need to spend more time to find the obstacle-removing pill.
Buzz~buzz~buzz~
At this moment, the small white whistle hanging on Jiang Li's body suddenly vibrated and trembled slightly.
This little prop, which he had already forgotten about, unexpectedly reacted at this moment.
I silently counted the time for the whistle to tremble, and activated the Guanyin Heart Meridian to increase my hearing and look for the direction from which the sound came.
This is, a fellow disciple is sending out a distress signal!
"I've seen both of you, please hand over that thing obediently. If you wait for me to take action, you won't be so relaxed."
In the maze below, a young man was holding two large dark red walnuts the size of a child's fist in his hand, and he was skillfully rotating them in the palm of his hand.
Opposite him were two disciples from the Buddhist Scripture Valley who looked quite embarrassed.
This man had a strange face and gorgeous clothes. He didn't look like a local monk from Dachhong Mountain. He was fighting one against two but still seemed quite relaxed.
"Impossible, we worked hard to kill monsters. Why should we give it to you?"
The person who spoke was known to Jiang Li. She was a female disciple of the Demon Subduing Hall in the Buddhist Scripture Valley. He could not remember her specific name.
However, her nickname "Iron Thorn Girl" is very appropriate. The iron spike whip in her hand makes the wind rustle very well, and her whole body is like a hedgehog, making it difficult for people to approach easily.
Although she ranks at the bottom among the ten people in the Qi Refining Stage, she is already quite rare.
But at this moment, her iron-thorn whip was broken into two sections and fell to the side, and the right hand that used the whip also hung down weakly, obviously injured.
"Why? Huh! Just for this!"
The black-red walnut in the young man's hand suddenly surged in spiritual energy, and with an extremely terrifying power, he hit Tie Cigu fiercely.
"careful!"
Another disciple next to him rushed out quickly, holding a flying sword to block the walnut magic weapon.
There was a loud clang, and the elastic long sword was almost bent and was about to touch his chest.
This person is none other than the close combat sword cultivator from the Internal Affairs Hall, Feng Yin Sword Mu Luo, who had fought with Jiang Li!
He and Tie Cigu relied on the effect of the whistle and finally got together after repeatedly testing the location.
Then with teamwork, he successfully killed a much weakened wolf demon and obtained a token that was a level worse than Jiang Li's.
This token allows him to ignore the maze fog on the ground and pass through the fog, but it cannot function in the air. But this is powerful enough.
But this scene was discovered by this young man who happened to be passing by.
The two of them in Zangjing Valley had already consumed a huge amount of energy, but the other party launched a surprise attack, which immediately wounded them. Tie Ci Gu's magic weapon, the Iron Thorn Whip, was directly interrupted, and her combat effectiveness was reduced to 70 or 70%.
Seeing the opponent's magic weapon flying towards him again, Mu Luo had no choice but to step forward with his sword, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to block the walnut back.
Then the next moment, another walnut in the opponent's hand was shot out again, directly knocking Mu Luo away from the distance. He vomited out several large mouthfuls of blood. The Wind Sword and the token were also thrown away, falling into the dust on the ground.
.
"Huh! If I don't give you a way to survive, you have to find your own death. Don't blame me."
The two walnuts in his hand floated automatically, circling each other faster and faster, and then turned into two black-red streams of light and shot towards the two people who fell on the ground.
boom!
Smoke and dust were thrown high, and large areas of cracks spread on the ground, showing how powerful the impact was.
The two people who were hit by this blow had no chance of surviving.
The young man shook his head disdainfully, then picked up the token and turned around to leave. He turned his back to the smoke and waved to summon the two walnuts back.
However, one second, two seconds, three seconds passed.
The young man took several steps out, but the two walnut magic weapons that he had held for many years still did not fly back.
He turned his head with some doubts and looked at the place where the smoke was slowly dissipating. His magic weapon was clearly there, but no matter how he summoned it, it just couldn't fly back.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
At this time, a heart-wrenching voice came from the smoke. The dust finally slowly dispersed, but a burly young man was standing in front of the two people in the Sutra Valley. The voice came from his hand.
The two black-red walnut magic weapons were tightly held in the palm of his left hand. Not only were they unable to escape, they were also squeezed and twisted in his palm by a huge force, almost being worn out of shape.
"This is how you play it. Do you think what I'm playing is quite standard?"
Jiang Li took out two bottles of healing elixirs and threw them to his fellow disciples behind him, then continued to walk towards them holding two walnut magic weapons.
Just now, he rushed down from the clouds in time and intercepted the two magic weapons with his palm before they hit the two fellow disciples.
The huge impact effect was not caused by the magic weapon hitting the target, but was caused by Jiang Li falling from the sky at high speed and hitting the ground.
"Who are you! Return my red wood beads quickly! Otherwise you will definitely regret it!"
The young man was not afraid, but still threatened Jiang Li very confidently. He took out a short stick from his arms, which was obviously a high-grade magic weapon!
"So this thing belongs to you, so it's your fault, my friend. How can you throw things around? Even if it doesn't hit anyone, it's still bad if it hits flowers and plants."
Both sides clearly had bad intentions. They moved closer to each other step by step. The spiritual energy in their bodies was surging endlessly, and they were ready to explode at any time.
The young man hid the short stick behind his back, and it quickly grew several times longer from an angle that Jiang Li couldn't see.
The distance between the two was already within three meters. The young man took the lead and swung the wooden stick that had grown in length and hit Jiang Li directly on the head. Looking at the momentum, it must be a Xuan-level magic weapon!
Knotweed! Collapse!
The long stick and tiger stick with sudden green light came at him, but this monk was a monk with a wood attribute spiritual root. This was the first time for Jiang Li to fight against an opponent who also had a wood attribute.
Wow!
Jiang Li did not raise his head to look at the long stick that was thrown at him, and his steps never stopped at all. The prison dragon lock around his waist came first and wrapped around the long stick.
The opponent's attack was blocked, Jiang Li came forward in three steps, then held the two walnuts in his left hand and hit the opponent's temple hard.
Buzz~boom!
The young man was hit by the huge force and flew sideways. After colliding with the ground several times, he stopped in embarrassment after removing the exaggerated force.
But within two seconds, the opponent got up from the ground again.
Except that the right half of his face was swollen and his right eye couldn't be opened, it didn't seem to be anything serious.
Jiang Li didn't hold back much in his slap just now. It would have been light enough to blow the opponent's head with a slap, but now it only had this effect.
I looked at my left hand and recalled the feeling of the blow just now. It was really not right. It seemed like there was a layer between the fist and the opponent's head.
Jiang Li looked at the other person carefully again and found that there were small sapphire earrings hanging on both sides of the other person's ears.
Just now, he vaguely remembered that the opponent's right earring lit up, and it was that burst of spiritual energy that saved his life from Jiang Li's fist.
But now, the earring on the opponent's left side lit up again, and a soft light emitted, causing the injuries on his face to recover quickly.
"What the hell is your background!"
Jiang Li's figure disappeared, and then he kicked the opponent hard on the waist, kicking him into a side V shape, and then plowed forward a long distance.
This time Jiang Li could see clearly that a thin layer of water curtain appeared automatically, blocking his feet and absorbing most of his strength.
To be able to achieve this level, the defensive magic weapon must be at least a low-grade Xuan-level weapon.
The magic weapons on this guy include long-range, melee, defense, and healing, and all of them are high-level good things. It can be said that he is armed to the teeth, and he can kill someone with the magic weapons.
Not even Shushan Five Elements Peak has given its disciples such luxurious treatment.
"Ahem, cough, cough, you dare to hurt me, okay! How dare you hurt me! I will make you regret it!"
"Japanese knotweed! Kill Lin!"
The healing earring on the left ear is also really effective. The guy is not weak because of his foundation. Even if he had a magic weapon to defend himself, he would definitely have broken one of his kidneys, but he was able to move again so quickly.
He roared at Jiang Li angrily and sternly, as if Jiang Li had done something outrageous to him.
Jiang Li was about to step forward again and give the opponent a fierce combination of punches to see how hard the turtle shell was, but he saw the opponent's knotweed thrust into the ground.
"Damn it!"
A stream of wood-attribute spiritual energy quickly circulated underground. Jiang Li immediately realized something and disappeared instantly.
In the blink of an eye, he grabbed his two fellow disciples not far away and immediately jumped into the air.
The moment the soles of his feet left the ground, more than a dozen green knotweeds pierced out and grew to a height of five meters before stopping, almost killing Mu Luo and Tie Cigu.
"Senior Brother Jiang, do you want to help?"
At this time, Shenshan Qiuhua also rushed over, stepping on the flying sword and looking down solemnly. That guy had too many magic weapons.
"Look after them for me."
Jiang Li was not polite, and after saying a few words, he threw his two classmates higher and asked Shenshan Qiuhua to take over.
The bones on his body crackled loudly, and everyone who knew him well knew that Jiang Li was going to do something serious.
"You guys really made me a little angry!"
He took out a handful of seeds from his arms and sprinkled them downwards.
Point the demon! Spread the beans and become an army!
A large amount of wood-attribute spiritual light spread, and this handful of seeds turned into hundreds of monsters and ferociously pounced on the opponent.
The young man was shocked when he saw this posture. Then he stabbed the long stick of knotweed into the ground again. More and more emerald green knotweed thrust out from the ground, stabbing the little monsters who rushed forward one by one from bottom to top.
of penetration.
This knotweed magic weapon may be the most powerful magic weapon in the opponent's hands, and its power is really astonishing.
Jiang Li tried his best to teach magic, but he was forced to stop it.
There were hundreds of wood demons, each with at least three knotweeds pierced through its body, and they were nailed to the spot and unable to move.
However, the other party was not in perfect condition. His face was pale and his figure was swaying, as if his body had been hollowed out and he could not stand firmly.
But the kind of consumption just now should have been done by an adult even after ten qi training stages. The reason why the opponent is still standing is because of the jade plaque hanging around the opponent's neck.
That magic weapon consumed at least 90% of his spiritual energy on his behalf.
Jiang Li is really curious now, where does this guy come from? With all the practical high-level magic weapons, he almost looks like a low-end version of himself.
However, the Qi refining period is a Qi refining period after all, and if you can't even support this set of magic weapons to exert their power, that's the end of it.
Jiang Li's figure disappeared from the air, and he swept past with one kick again!
The opponent's combat experience can only be said to be better than that of a straw bag. How could he react to Jiang Li's attack? He was kicked into the mist in the distance and disappeared immediately.
The Yin Burial Coffin, which had been waiting for a long time in the mist, caught the person upright, then shrunk to the size of a palm and flew away from the place.
