"What did you say!" The cook's face suddenly darkened, as if something was about to explode.
Yan Luo didn't notice this. Instead, he turned around and called Shen Ying next to him, "Little girl, please cooperate with me."
"Huh?" Shen Ying was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and gave him a strange look, "Brother, are you playing with fire? Did you make it?"
"..." What is the tone of this overbearing president's line?
Yan Luo was stunned for a moment, but still stretched out his hand to pull Shen Ying up, turned around and continued excitedly, "If you want to save this girl, go all out, otherwise... Eh? Eh! "
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a huge sword energy coming from all over the world. A golden giant sword suddenly appeared above his head, and just as his head was smashed down. For a moment, he only felt a surge of energy, and the body beside him The formation was shattered in an instant, and the murderous aura surged from the sky. Even the three-legged bird below could not bear it, and fell down with a crackling sound.
Yan Luo was stunned. He couldn't even open his eyes, let alone resist, amid the sudden sword energy and murderous intent. Boundless fear suddenly swept through his body, and there was only one word in his mind: death. There is no other choice. He opened his eyes wide and watched as the giant sword above his head was slashing straight towards him, and was about to hit him.
"Cook!" A voice suddenly came from beside me.
The sword edge stagnated for an instant, stopping less than half a foot above his head, and slowly turned into a point of light and disappeared. The next moment, the opponent responded with a cold words as cold as ice, standing next to him.
"Don't touch my master!" At some point, Yi Qing had appeared on the formation stone, turned around and hugged the person beside him, looking at him with a murderous look on his face.
Shen Ying also reached out and patted his shoulder, "So, I told you not to play with fire!"
Yan Luo: "..."
The next moment, his feet gave way and he collapsed on the ground, with cold sweat pouring down from his head. Only then did he finally understand something.
"Foodie, are you okay?" Gu Yue also flew over.
"Yeah." Shen Ying nodded, turned to look at the three-legged bird at her feet, "Do you think this... can be eaten?"
Gu Yue's mouth twitched, as expected, she was worried that it was unnecessary, and she was still thinking about eating at this time.
The cook next to him took out his knife out of habit and said, "You'll know after you try it."
After saying that, holding the knife in one hand and holding Shen Ying in the other, she jumped down and headed towards the beast-defending formation. As if sensing her fate, the beast-defending formation opened its mother and screamed crazily, but was suppressed by the sword energy. He couldn't move at all, and he was about to be killed by a knife.
"Wait!"*2
Two voices sounded at the same time!
"The sword is keeping the bird alive!" Only then did Yan Luo react.
Chongchong below also hugged Yiqing's leg, "Great Immortal, you can't kill this one!"
"Why?" the two masters and apprentices asked in unison.
"Ah?" Yan Luo was stunned, "Because...because this is a defensive beast!"
Shen Ying frowned, "Are the guarding beasts poisonous?"
"..." It's not poisonous, but you are poisonous! Who would want to kill a guarding beast?
Then Chongchong had an idea and hurriedly said, "Great Immortal, the three-legged firebird is the guardian beast of Central City. This one cannot be killed!"
"Oh." Shen Ying then called the cook back. It turned out that he was protecting animals, so there was nothing he could do. She turned around and looked at the birds on the ground with a disappointed look on her face.
The whole firebird trembled at the sight of her. When the sword energy on his body lightened up, he immediately screamed, turned around and got back into the fire hole on the ground, trembling. Before entering, he grabbed it with a claw.
The core stone was firmly covered back to its original place, pretending that it had never come out.
Yan Luo: "..."
Gu Yue: "..."
Chongchong: "..."
It is estimated that all birds and animals have a conspiracy.
"You..." Yan Luo then turned his head and glanced at the people present. Thinking of the terrifying sword energy just now, his body trembled for an instant. He suddenly understood why they had to hide their strength when they broke the formation. Like this
Not to mention his strength, even the entire Void End could hardly have an opponent. He became more and more confused for a while, "Why do several seniors with such strength... come to participate in the joint competition?"
"What, can't I join?" Gu Yue asked back.
Yan Luo froze, "It's not impossible, it's just... this competition is a competition between the disciples of each academy."
"Are we also disciples?"
"..." Are you lying to ghosts? Are there any disciples with your level of cultivation?
"Mr. Yan, who stipulates that disciples cannot have higher cultivation levels?" You yourself didn't limit the cultivation level of the contestants. Do you blame me?
"..." That makes sense. Yan Luo has a black hair, so it turns out that there is such a cool operation. Although it was indicated at the beginning that it was a competition between academies, there was indeed no limit on cultivation, let alone those who could participate.
Whether he is a disciple or a teacher, everyone just automatically understands him as a disciple.
Seeing that Gu Yue was exposed, she simply admitted, "We were passing by here and saw that the competition was quite interesting, so we just signed up to have fun."
"..." Is it so fun to bully a group of children? I really want to say, shameless! But he can't beat him, so he really doesn't dare!
Looking back now, what Ren Qing said before may be true. During the first game, these people entered their secret realm, captured the exotic beasts they raised, and resold them to their competing disciples... Just now
They almost caught their guard beast.
Won't your conscience hurt?
Yan Luo felt bitter.
If this kind of competition is held in the future, it is absolutely necessary to limit the cultivation level of the contestants.
————
Shen Ying and his party of four became the first people to pass the second round of the competition, and four more people came out at once. From entering the maze to coming out, it only took less than half an hour. Even the people who had entered the maze in the academy in the past had not done so.
Such a fast record. However, what shocked them even more was that not only these four people, but more and more people came out of the maze after them, and all of them were intact, as if they had not encountered any formations.
.
The originally expected competition time was three hours, but in less than two hours, most of the people inside had come out. By the time the competition was over, out of the seventy-five contestants who entered, seventy had passed, and only five had passed.
The person was not transferred out, or was injured by the formation at the beginning and was transferred out in advance.
Everyone in Lingxian Academy looked confused. This was different from what they thought. It was a semi-final after all, and naturally it was more difficult than the preliminary round. The original plan was that it would be good if fifteen people could pass successfully, but in the end, 90% of the people passed it.
They all entered the finals, what a situation.
Only the people who knew about it, Yan Luo, had a bitter look on their face, what else could it have been like. Those two people who pretended to be low-level disciples to sneak into the competition did harm to people. Even the defender beasts were frightened, and they left serious sequelae. Even if
Even after they left, they refused to come out, which directly caused the collective failure of the formations in the maze. Therefore, the so-called maze is really just a maze after that. Is it possible that they can't get out?
Yan Luo was in psychological pain, but Yan Luo couldn't talk about it.
