The three of Xu Dao formed an array in front of the invisible barrier. Chen Men and Zeng Shijian's eyes fell on Xu Dao one after another.
Xu Dao spoke up in time: "Restriction! It should be arranged by the master of the cave. Pindao will give it a try first."
Hearing Xu Dao's words and seeing the assurance on his face, Chen Men and Zeng Shijian were both a little surprised, realizing that Xu Dao's grasp of the cave might not be just a sea map.
With the memory in the goddess's remnant soul, Xu Dao naturally knew exactly how to enter the cave, but he was not prepared to enter directly.
After he finished speaking, he used the magic power in his body, and his huge spiritual consciousness came out of his body, and he explored forward inch by inch.
Buzz!
The cave ban was stimulated by Xu Dao's spiritual consciousness, and an invisible light immediately surged, causing the water in the dark passage to roll in an attempt to push the three people away.
A special spiritual pattern appeared in Xu Dao's consciousness, and the other two people also vaguely saw the reveal of the restriction.
Xu Dao's spiritual consciousness swayed: "This should be the outermost restriction of the cave, used to isolate the evil spirit in the sea. Although it is still running and not broken, it is not too difficult to break it. A poor Taoist can use it alone."
He paused and said, "But this is only the outermost restriction. It is very likely to be related to the deeper restrictions in the cave. The master of this cave was in the realm of refining Gang when he was alive. It should not be underestimated. You two fellow Taoists, please do not take it lightly.
"
After Chen Men and Zeng Shijian heard this, their faces became solemn, and they said one after another: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, a certain family will protect you!"
That’s it!”
"Good!" Xu Dao replied casually, and he used the magic power on his body even more powerfully. A trace of crimson thunder and lightning flashed around his body, entangled in the sea water, and illuminated the top and bottom of the secret passage.
.
After setting up a menacing formation, Xu Dao cast spells and kept knocking on the barrier in front of him as if he was asking for directions. He took out a formation plate from his sleeve and pretended to break the restriction in front of him.
After a full quarter of an hour, he shouted softly: "Step back three feet! Two fellow Taoists."
The expressions on Chen Clan's and Chen's men's faces were stern, their bodies were shaking, and they stepped back more than three feet as promised.
Bang! The sound of muffled drums filled the dark passage, and it sounded like a thump.
The light at the scene increased greatly, the water flow was swaying, and the bodies of the three people were swaying, making it look like there was a lot of movement.
But in fact, these movements were caused by Xu Dao on purpose. After he pretended to crack it, he was secretly following the entry method in his memory and easily penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
After scanning it five times to confirm that the restriction did not look like a trap, he gently moved one of the formation patterns.
There was a crashing sound!
As the water washed away, it seemed as if the ice was melting away, crystals were cracking, and the sound of ice cubes colliding was heard.
Before the Chen family could react, they heard Xu Dao's surprise cry from the front: "It's open!"
After hearing this, the two of them put their spiritual consciousness into it, and immediately found that the invisible barrier just now had been removed, and the surrounding energy was in chaos.
Before the two of them could explore too much, Xu Dao quickly greeted each other: "This formation can get rid of the evil spirit in the sea, and the technique is also unique. In addition, time is in a hurry, so Pindao just opened an opening, and you two can quickly enter, so as not to
The ban is closed again."
When the other party looked again, he found that the qi around him was circling and quickly calming down, and the turbulent water flow in the secret passage was also freezing, as if frozen.
Without a glance, Taoist priest Chen Men rushed forward, almost going hand in hand with Xu Dao and almost passed the limit. Zeng Shijian, who was carrying the sword box behind him, was only one step behind.
Suddenly, after the three of them arrived inside, they were about to move forward. However, after taking a few steps, another invisible energy blocked the way, firmly blocking the three of them.
As a last resort, the Chen family set their sights on Xu Dao again.
Xu Dao also frowned slightly at this time. It was so dense that another restriction was raised after only a few steps, but it was a bit unreasonable. And more importantly, this restriction was beyond Xu Dao's expectation:
"Regarding this secret vault, there are only two ways to enter the formation in Remnant Soul's memory, which correspond to the two formations of inner and outer, son and mother. I haven't officially stepped into the cave yet, so what I saw should not be what's inside.
The second level.”
At this time, he did not act easily or pretend, but carefully explored his surroundings.
The new restriction blocking the road was obviously not as sophisticated as the one just now. Its lines were obvious and its techniques were simple. Xu Dao had several ideas for breaking through the formation after just a few glances.
At this time, a thought popped into his mind: "Could it be that Fanxing Island is used to test the cultivation of successors and polish the skills of the talisman array?"
Fanxing Island, like Xuanzhen Sect, is a formation sect. The true disciples in the sect need to visualize the star seeds, use the star seeds to arrange troops and form a formation.
Although Xu Dao is not a true disciple of Fanxing Island, he still has superb talisman formation skills, and he has also visualized the true formation patterns of Xuanzhen Sect in his mind. Some of the skills of the two are similar.
"Whatever, let's try cracking it first."
Xu Dao and the two people behind him explained a few words, and then started working in the secret passage again.
This time he was actually breaking the formation, but the movement was much smaller than before, and the working time was indeed a lot longer.
A full three-quarters of an hour passed, Xu Dao thoroughly understood the new restriction, finally opened it, and gained some new formation knowledge from it.
Then the three people stepped forward again, but within a few steps, another invisible energy blocked them in front of them, blocking it.
At this time, Chen Men and Zeng Shijian, who were not good at formations, also saw that the third restriction was obviously more magical than the second one, but it was far inferior to the first one.
As Xu Dao expected, these restrictions that were not specifically recorded in the goddess's remnant soul were actually thresholds and touchstones used by the Starry Secret Treasury to test the talisman formation skills of the treasure-obtaining disciples.
He briefly discussed it with Chen Men and Zeng Shijian and expressed his guess.
After hearing that it was a test, both Chen Men and Zeng Shijian were pleasantly surprised: "In this case, this cave is most likely a cave that has been passed down from generation to generation. The owner of the cave either died here or left some inherited treasures.
.”
The two guessed part of the truth about the cave and began to look forward to the benefits of the cave. For them, although Xu Dao found the cave and Xu Dao broke the ban, Xu Dao ate meat and they always drank soup.
is allowed.
If it is a cave that has been passed down from one generation to another, the benefits hidden inside will be richer than the ordinary relics of the past. It is very likely that a drink of soup will be enough for the two of them to make a worthwhile trip.
In the following time, a total of four restrictions were completely broken by Xu Dao. After being broken, they no longer existed and completely dissipated, like ice and snow melting away.
The time it took Xu Dao to break the restriction became longer and longer. He was so focused that he stayed up day and night for three days and three nights.
Fortunately, Chen Men and Zeng Shijian were watching for him, and both of them were alert, otherwise he would not have dared to concentrate so hard.
Finally, under Xu Dao's efforts, the spiritual light of the last fifth test of the ban dimmed, the barrier was thin, and the spiritual fish on the opposite side of the ban was already close at hand.
Xu Dao let out a long sigh of relief, and used his magic power to eliminate a section of the array pattern. Immediately, there was a clicking sound, and the water in front of him shook, as if a glass blockage had collapsed.
Hearing the sound, Xu Dao and the other two people's faces were excited. They looked up and said, "It's open?", "It's open!"
They walked for four days and nights, only a few dozen steps away, and finally had to pass through a long corridor-like secret passage.
The sea water here is clear and there is no evil spirit at all. The body of the spirit fish, which is half the size of a palm, contains a blue light. They seem to be swimming in the air and have nothing to rely on, with their tails swaying, and they are very ethereal.
Behind the spirit fish is a stone portal, which is inlaid on the rock wall and is rough and unsophisticated. Only when the blue spirit fish occasionally shines are the traces revealed.
The consciousness of Xu Dao and the others shook, and their faces were even more surprised: "The gate of the cave! It's just ahead."
They immediately shook their bodies and rushed towards the cave.
But just when Xu Dao was about to step over, there was a clang!
The sound of the sword sounded, and a flash of green light suddenly flew out from the sword case behind Zeng Shijian, blocking Xu Dao's body.
Xu Dao was startled: "Friend Zeng?" He turned to look at him, truly surprised.
The Taoist priest Chen Sect on the side was also frightened. The magic power in his body suddenly surged, and he was about to take action against Zeng Shijian immediately.
But before the three of them could fight, swoosh, wisps of faint blue light suddenly flickered in front of the three of them, and their protective spells were immediately hit.
Xu Dao and Chen Men subconsciously thought that it was Zeng Shijian who took action, but what they noticed with their spiritual consciousness was not that, but the light blue spiritual fish in front of them, which were frantically piercing their bodies, trying to burrow into their bodies.
enter.
Zeng Shijian's consciousness surged out: "There is something strange ahead!"
It turns out that he was not motivated by wealth and wanted to intercept Xu Dao and prevent Xu Dao from entering the cave first. Rather, he was a swordsman with a unique secret technique, and his sense of life and death crises was far beyond ordinary people.
Just when the three of them were about to move forward, a strong sense of crisis appeared in Zeng Shijian's heart, so before he could stop Xu Dao, he took the lead and struck out with a sword.
This sword not only stopped Xu Dao, Xu Dao also used his magic power to cover his whole body without being reminded, and added a few more protective spells to his body.
The same goes for the Chenmen Taoist priests who followed him, and they all blocked the incoming enemy.
Squeak!
Weird sounds sounded in front of the three of them. Those originally elegant and calm light blue spirit fish opened their mouths, each with a set of fangs, and were biting on the protective spiritual light of the three of them, making harsh sounds.
the sound of.
What also made the expressions of the three people change was that the strange fish had a sharp tongue. With one bite, they all found that the protective aura quickly dimmed, while the blue light in the belly of the strange fish became strong.
The strange fish can actually eat souls, and can even bite through the body-protecting aura of the Ningsha Taoist priest.
Curses immediately rang out: "Damn it!"
Xu Dao didn't even have time to say thank you. First he shrank back suddenly, and then he fired the cuttlefish sword. The black chain rotated around him, knocking away all the strange fish that came towards him.
Taoist priests Chen Sect and Zeng Shijian next to them also took action quickly. The golden light seal appeared, the sword box roared, and they were struck forward fiercely.
But what is shocking is that the skin and body bones of the blue-light monster fish are still hard. None of the three people's magic weapons could kill each other on the spot. After it flew out, more monster fish surged towards them.
Come.
The fish came out one after another, and the strange fish like stars spread all over the secret passage ahead, forming a school of fish, turning towards them fiercely like a stone wall.
Xu Dao looked at the scene in front of him and his face suddenly became embarrassed.
If Zeng Shijian hadn't blocked him in time, he would have been wrapped in a school of fish after he quickly walked in. Even if he didn't die, he would at least shed his skin.
In an instant, the golden light flashed in the dark passage, and the sword energy roared. Just the overflow of energy would scrape off large amounts of rock powder from the rock walls on both sides, making the originally transparent and almost empty seawater suddenly turbid.
As if fighting hand to hand, with just a few breaths, Xu Dao's protective spell was bitten through, forcing him to quickly pull out the mountain and sea flag and hit it on the top of his head.
The Qi machine of the mountain and sea flag hangs down and firmly protects it in the center, thus blocking the bite of the blue light monster fish.
Next to Chen Men, a phantom of a golden seal was revealed, protecting his body, turning slowly, and his breath was solid; Zeng Shijian, four flying swords of red, orange, yellow and green jumped out of the box, moving his body up and down.
The four parties firmly protected him and hacked the strange fish to death repeatedly.
After a while, Zeng Shijian shouted: "Spirit-eating fish! This thing is a soul-eating fish, damn it!"
Taoist priest Chenmen heard it and didn't react yet, but Xu Dao's eyelids jumped.
The soul-eating fish is one of the strange flowers, birds, fish and insects in the Western Sea. It is small in size and has sharp, inert teeth that cannot be swallowed. It is said that when this fish was first discovered, it was not in the water, but in a mineral vein.
middle.
The iron ore in the vein contains spiritual energy. The soul-eating fish gnawed at the iron ore, gnawing and squirming like an insect in the iron stone in the vein. It was regarded as a bug and even boarded the Seventy-Two Strange Insects of the Earth.
among the list.
It wasn't until people found this fish in the sea again that they realized that this thing was not an iron worm that looked like a fish, but a fish.
Later, there was a dense atmosphere of evil spirits in the Western Sea, and the soul-eating fish was disturbed by the evil spirits. Its shape changed drastically and it has long since disappeared. As for artificial breeding, there are very few of them.
The reason is that the soul-eating fish are not only addicted to spiritual things and are uncontrollably greedy. They are also addicted to the spiritual energy of their kind. They love big fish to eat small fish and cannibalize each other. After being corroded by evil spirits, they even eat their own food.
Extinct.
Xu Dao felt lucky that the Secret Treasury of Stars was indeed a scam and almost deceived him.
The soul-eating fish is one of the seventy-two kinds of strange insects, and it is a method arranged by the Taoist priest. If he really comes alone, he may capsize in the gutter.
Now he thought back to the five restrictions just now and realized that they were probably not just a test, but also five backup fences to lock the Soul-Eating Fish.
In shock, Xu Dao told Chen Men the little information he knew through his spiritual consciousness, and the other party's face became even more solemn.
In the secret passage, the three of them waved their magic, but to the soul-eating fish, they were like three lighthouses. Their aura was alluring, and they pounced on them without fear of death.
Fortunately, there are three of them, and all three of them have evil spirit cultivation. Their bodies are full of evil spirits, and they can blast them out at any time.
In this way, even if the soul-eating fish swallows the spiritual power, it will gradually collapse and die because it also swallowed the evil energy.
In addition, Xu Dao and the others did not step into the trap or be surrounded by fish, but blocked the fish on the opposite side. Therefore, they only had to face the soul-eating fish in front of them, and the pressure was greatly reduced.
After they were no longer in a hurry, Xu Dao and the others looked at the groups of soul-eating fish, and their eyes shone with light.
"Lots of fish!", "Big fortune!"
Cleaning up all the soul-eating fish in the secret passage would already be a windfall!
