"Methods? What do you mean?" Seeing Xiao Che's horrified voice, everyone was confused, but from his expression, they could see that the matter was quite serious.
Xiao Che pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Mengling and others, and said slowly: "Have you ever thought that this maze is not an assessment?"
"It's not an assessment? What is that?" The second son of the Shi family scratched his head and asked honestly.
"It's a trap! Or rather, it's a crisis that has been planned for a long time!" Xiao Che's eyes flashed, and he connected some clues in his mind.
"Trap? Are you saying that the owner of this ruins is using us instead of choosing a successor?" Xia Mengling wondered, "But this ruins has existed for at least three hundred years. The owner of the ruins must have died long ago. How could he
Maybe a trap?"
"Who said that dead people will never do bad things? Aren't these black insect corpses the dead people?" Xiao Che said with a sneer. From Li Sha's words and some clues, he knew that the owner of the ruins was indeed dead.
, but the dead are not necessarily safe.
After spending such a long time with the Spirit Master, he would occasionally hear stories about some strong men dying, their souls remaining immortal, taking over their bodies, and being resurrected. From the current situation, he could already see some clues.
Under everyone's surprised and puzzled gazes, Xiao Che spoke again: "If I guessed correctly, all the life masters who entered Kurong Pavilion should have been introduced into this maze."
"What?!"
"In other words, the place covered by this maze formation is not just the main hall of the alchemy room, but the entire Kurong Pavilion itself is a formation. The various weapons, elixirs, ores and other treasures in it are just bait to lure us into it.
, and the real purpose of the owner of the ruins is not to select a successor to inherit his mantle, but to use us all as nourishment."
Hearing what Xiao Che said, Xia Mengling and others all widened their eyes, and Teng Qingshi looked at Xiao Che as if he were a monster, obviously not believing what he said.
"Everyone must have heard some legends about soul reincarnation or the remnant soul of a strong man seizing the human body!"
"But aren't they all legends?" Xia Mengling said naively.
Xiao Che shook his head: "Not necessarily. Some may be illusory legends, but some are real, just like the situation we are encountering now."
"Are you saying that the owner of the ruins is using the pretense of selecting a successor, and his purpose is to seize the body in order to find a suitable body?" Teng Qingshi's reaction was dissatisfied, and he asked tentatively.
Xiao Che glanced at him in surprise, was silent for a moment, and said decisively: "It's very close, but he is not trying to seize the body, but wants to use the essence of our flesh and blood to reshape a physical body!"
When he said this, on the sea of souls, the eyes of the Spirit Lord finally showed some approval. Being able to think about this clearly did not disappoint him.
"This kid finally figured it out." The Spirit Master shook his head and smiled. In fact, after entering the Dream Soul Realm, he had already seen everything clearly. However, for the purpose of testing Xiao Che, he never said it clearly.
He just gave some tips from time to time and let Xiao Che think about it on his own.
Especially when he was in the Misty Valley, the Spirit Master discovered that there was a bloody aura in the valley. Although it was very weak under the cover of the Yin evil aura, it was difficult to escape his perception. Of course, that level of bloody aura, Xiao
It was impossible for Che to notice that later on, because of his obsession with the flower garden, his mind was in a state of confusion. He did not know that the location he was at at that time was the place closest to the truth after entering the ruins.
As for the formations hidden under Kurong Pavilion, although Lingzun was not a formation master, he discovered it early.
"Reshape the body?!" When these words were spoken, even Xiao Che himself felt a little frightened, and it was even said that it was Xia Mengling and others.
"How to reshape it? Could it be swallowing
Our flesh and blood?" Xia Mengling covered her mouth with some fear. She suddenly remembered that human bones and skins appeared in the alley from time to time, and she also thought of the bloody cuckoo that was good at eating human flesh and blood, and her heart was in confusion.
"Yes, the mastermind behind this may want to seize the essence of everyone's flesh and blood, and then shape a body suitable for himself. This can also be seen from the zombie worms in the insect corpses, and the maze's autonomous swallowing of corpses.
The methods of the mastermind behind this are so weird and unpredictable.”
"Then we must get out of this maze. If we delay for a long time, no one can guess what will happen." Yan Kuan said solemnly.
"Well, find the formation eye as quickly as possible and break through this maze. And we must also inform the masters of the major forces about this matter. Whether they know it or not, the current situation is related to the safety of all of us.
."
Xiao Che knew very well that the essence of flesh and blood of mid-level destiny masters was far inferior to that of high-level destiny masters, and Lin Yunqing, Jiang Chao and others were the best among high-level destiny masters. Their essence of flesh and blood could be matched by one of them.
There are at least five high-level life masters, so if the mastermind behind this wants to reshape his body, his biggest target will definitely be these people.
Of course, body cultivators like Xiao Che and Teng Qingshi are also the ones receiving the most attention.
"Without further delay, let's leave now!" Xia Mengling also said decisively.
Xiao Che nodded. Although he had guessed most of it, there were still some things that he couldn't figure out, such as the spiritual stele filled with a holy aura, and the appearance of Xiao Che in green in the fantasy space. If these were used by the owner of the ruins to deceive others,
The method is a bit far-fetched.
When he thought about this, he felt that his originally clear thoughts seemed to be disrupted.
"Forget it, let's solve this maze first."
Xiao Che turned to look at Teng Qingshi, and said with a teasing smile: "Brother Qingshi, please come with us! Your body is the best blood food for those monsters!"
"It's disrespectful." Hearing his teasing, Teng Qingshi cupped his hands and said with a bitter taste in his mouth. He couldn't afford such an honor.
After that, the few people no longer hesitated and took action, rushing towards the direction where the spiritual energy escaped.
…
In the secret blood cave, on the huge blood pool with roiling blood waves, a dark ghost floated slowly, and a soul thought swept across the blood pool below. There were some stumps and broken arms that were constantly melting, exuding an extremely coquettish glow.
of red light.
In the middle of the blood pool is a dark red blood fetus that has begun to take shape. There is a faint heartbeat sound in it, showing that it is a living entity. Every tiny expansion and contraction will absorb the essence energy in the blood pool and grow stronger.
Oneself.
The ghost stayed on the blood fetus, seeming to have a deep sense of expectation. On both sides of the blood fetus, there were large human-shaped cocoons shining with cyan light and dark blue light, although they were constantly being eroded by the waves of blood.
, there is still a strong force emerging.
"Charming~" In the blood cave, the ghost shrouded in black mist let out a cold and charming laugh.
"The time is about to come, there is only one lead left, just one lead left!" the ghost said eagerly. As its voice sounded, several light groups emerged from the blood pool, and there were crystal stones covered with golden and red lines.
, there are cold stones emitting mist, and a purple-black heart that beats from time to time...
"Huh?" At this time, the ghost suddenly glanced into the void, and a cold thought came out.
"As expected of a boy who is valued by my senior brother, he actually guessed the intention of this sect. Unfortunately, his strength is still as weak as ever. Although I don't know how you escaped from the Valley of Confusion, but you entered the maze of death and silence of our sect. Let's see how you can escape.
!”
"If you want to find the formation eye, this religion will help you! Charming~ The body of a body cultivator is a great tonic!" Xiao Che didn't know that everything he did in the maze was hidden.
The extremely deep evil spirit has seen it from beginning to end. As the controller of the maze, the ghost has many means to kill Xiao Che.
…
In the gray alley, a fierce battle was taking place. The figures of four human life masters were fighting fiercely with a powerful bloody cuckoo.
From the walls and on the ground, black and red vines kept shooting out, like spears grazing at the four people, with a few purple and black vines mixed in among them.
"Thunder!" The leader of the Order suddenly erupted with violent purple thunder arcs, as if thunder snakes were approaching the vines. The two were intertwined. When the vines shattered, most of the lightning arcs also dissipated.
If Xiao Che were here, he would definitely recognize this person's identity immediately. Who else could be able to exert the power of thunder and lightning to this extent, besides Jiang Chao, among the ruins?
"This maze is really weird!" Jiang Chao's eyes were as bright as lightning, and although he had not experienced as much as Xiao Che, he could still feel the weirdness in it. This did not look like choosing a successor.
The method seems to be to catch them all in one go.
As he was thinking about it, the bloody cuckoo's attack came towards him, and the thousands of vine shadows were several times more powerful than the old man's special move from the locust tree. Even if the four of them worked together, it would be difficult to withstand them.
Of course, except for Jiang Chao, the other three were just seven-line life masters. In a battle of this level, they could not help much. Instead, he had to look after the latter, which hindered him.
"Whoosh!" Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, Bloody Cuckoo suddenly burst out eight purple-black vines and headed towards the three seven-line life masters, as if they wanted to get rid of these obstructionists first.
With its attack, it would be difficult for ordinary eight-line fortune-tellers to withstand it, and even for these seven-line fortune-tellers, there is no other possibility except being pierced through the body!
"Manager, help! Help!" The three people were frightened when they saw this and begged for help again and again.
"You evil beast, how dare you!" Jiang Chao shouted angrily. These seven-line life masters are considered among the strongest in Yuexi City. They are all the elite forces of his city lord's palace. If they are all wiped out by this bloody cuckoo,
How will he explain to the city lord when he returns?
However, the Bloody Cuckoo's attack speed was very fast. Even if he was good at speed and attack, it was impossible to save three people at the same time. With a fierce light in his eyes, he immediately made a decision, and with a horizontal spear in his hand, he would be closer to him.
The two life masters saved him, but the last one was given up by him!
When forced to sacrifice one thing to save the other, most of the leaders of the forces know exactly what choice they should make.
Seeing that he was abandoned, a trace of hatred and sharpness flashed in the eyes of the squat water fortune teller, but Jiang Chao did not notice it because of the purple and black vine shadow.
"Hmph!" At the moment when three purple and black vine shadows were about to penetrate the short and fat fate master, there was no trace of panic or despair on his face. Instead, there was an extremely calm indifference.
"Wow!" Layers after layers of water-blue light curtains suddenly appeared in front of him. The powerful water energy surged violently, and the heavy water curtains actually caused the purple-black vine shadows to fly away.
Seeing that a seven-line life master actually resisted three attacks from the eight-line realm, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Jiang Chao's face, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
The short, fat fortune teller's face also changed in an instant, as if his facial makeup were changing, full of horror and fear, and then revealed relief as if he had survived a catastrophe.
At the same time, his aura continued to grow until he reached a higher level.
"Breakthrough to the eight-mark realm in battle?" Jiang Chao took a deep look at the short and fat life master. He didn't know what he was thinking, and without delaying the opportunity to fight, he took the initiative to attack the bloody cuckoo in a flash.
