As long as the Iron Lock Bridge is above the foundation level, you can easily cross it without any difficulty.
After Tong Yan arrived, he saw that everyone on the bridge had finished walking, so he jumped on one by one.
After crossing the bridge, there is a huge teleportation array. Step on it, and with a flash of light, you will reach the second floor in an instant.
Shen Xinwan crossed the bridge with confidence only after Tong Yan and his party reached the second floor.
We are outnumbered now, and she will not join forces to give Tong Yan a chance to plot against her.
What's more, if she hates this person, why would she go with her?
The second floor is the five-element array maze. The monks can choose an attribute entrance to enter. If they can get out, they can pass through and go directly to the third floor.
Those who failed to come out either kept encountering monsters and got lost endlessly, or they had already died in the maze.
At this time, the Chaos Spiritual Root's properties of elixir are revealed, and it will be the same no matter who you choose.
In terms of Shenzhuang Heng's special fire, the fire escape formation is naturally better, but there are few flames in the entire world of cultivation that are better than the red lotus karma fire, so it doesn't make much sense to choose a special fire formation.
The two of them thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go through the wooden maze. The five elements of wood made fire, and maybe they could understand something.
As for Huo Qizhi, Tong Yan only planned to politely ask him which way he wanted to take. After all, there were two people next to him, and they had to discuss together what way to take.
After Tong Yan asked Huo Qizhi sideways, he said without any hesitation, "It's okay."
"Why don't you discuss it with them?" Tong Yan glanced at the two female cultivators curiously and said to Huo Qizhi, "The three of us definitely don't have the same opinions, so it's better to discuss it."
After all, being arbitrary is not a good habit.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qizhi glanced at the two people next to him with a frown, and explained to Tong Yan, "I just met them on the way here and killed a monster together. There was no unnecessary interaction."
Tong Yan nodded in understanding, "Oh."
Seeing that she didn't seem to believe it, Huo Qizhi said emphatically, "I'm not familiar with them."
These words were blunt and merciless, completely ignoring that the person involved was listening to their conversation with open ears.
"Senior Brother Huo's words really hurt the slave family's heart. Do you know that since you blocked the monster's blow for me, the whole slave family's heart belongs to you. The slave family has decided not to marry anyone other than you."
The person who spoke affectionately was the female cultivator surnamed Wei.
Huo Qizhi was about to say something, but Tong Yan quickly interrupted and said, "You guys talk slowly, and we'll leave first."
After saying that, he pulled Shen Zhuangheng into the wooden door and slipped away.
Tong Yan ran so fast simply because he couldn't stand the sound of the female cultivator moaning.
Maybe it's because she's not a man, she just feels a little pretentious, and there's no feeling like her heart is softened by being teased.
Not long after entering the wooden door, Huo Qizhi didn't know how to get rid of them, but after a while, he actually followed them.
At this time, Tong Yan was asking Shen Zhuangheng what happened between him and another female cultivator on the first floor.
Shen Zhuangheng said naturally, "Nothing happened. She said she couldn't defeat the monster and wanted to lure it over. I didn't have time to return the monster to her."
"How did you give it?"
"I didn't kick anyone." Shen Zhuangheng said.
That means kicking the monster?
"The monster hit her and the flames almost burned her head off."
Tong Yan chuckled to himself, well, no wonder the female cultivator looked at him with very angry eyes. A woman cares about her hair enough not to be crazy, but whoever touches her will die.
"Master." Huo Qizhi came to them.
Tong Yan looked at him nonchalantly. He was neatly dressed and seemed not to have been disturbed by the two female cultivators. "Are they disciples of the Hehuan Sect?"
The three of them were walking and chatting.
Huo Qizhi replied: "Yes."
Disciples of the Hehuan Sect, both men and women, are very wild and unrestrained. Generally speaking, their characteristics are very obvious and easy to identify.
So Tong Yan and the others basically only took a few glances and made guesses in their minds.
After Tong Yan received a positive response, he nodded slightly to prepare a response, and then focused on the formation.
In the five-element array maze, each array exists independently and has overlapping and intersecting parts.
There are hidden monsters, magic weapons, secret treasures, and even exercises in the formation. Choosing the formation gate that matches your spiritual roots can help you find something that suits you faster and more accurately.
Although it is a maze, it is not built with stone walls, but a huge forest with leafy trees reaching into the clouds.
The only thing that fits the maze setting is the countless paths leading to nowhere.
Don't try to fly at high altitudes or cheat by walking through walls, because there are invisible air walls in those places that cannot be penetrated without special means.
As for what this special method is, no monk has tried it yet.
In the past, Tong Yan chose the path, but she always came to a dead end. In the end, she did not believe in evil and let Shen Zhuang Heng choose, and it turned out that she really took the right path.
Not long after, the sound of fighting was heard ahead.
On the open grassland, there was a huge tree demon, arrogantly waving thick vine branches and fighting with several monks.
Above the tree demon was a towering tree, and all the tree roots that should have been buried in the soil sprouted out, forming a cage and trapping several unconscious monks.
Some of the vines have wooden thorns, and some have huge flowers. Each flower is a giant mouth. There are downy teeth on the inner wall of the petals, which can bite the target tightly when they are closed.
.
Before they could see the situation clearly, a blue figure was suddenly thrown over by a branch.
Tong Yan saw the person clearly and was about to help her, but unexpectedly someone was faster than him.
Tong Yan glanced at Shen Zhuangheng with curiosity, walked to the other side of Jiang Qingle, and asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you okay?"
Jiang Qingle was slightly stunned when she saw Shen Zhuangheng. After hearing Tong Yan's question, she looked at her again and said in a cold voice, "It's okay."
She remembered Tong Yan, but there was no communication between the two.
"Thank you." This was said to Shen Zhuangheng who helped her up.
"You're welcome."
At this time, another person flew over and glanced at Jiang Qingle with concern to see if she was injured. Then he glanced at Shen Zhuangheng and others and frowned slightly.
Qi Fangyu came to the front and said concernedly to Jiang Qingle, "Qingle, are you injured?"
Jiang Qingle shook her head slightly, picked up the piano and walked towards the tree demon again, continuing to fight.
Qi Fangyu's eyes swept across Tong Yan and the others, and after falling on Shen Zhuangheng for a second, he turned around and caught up with Jiang Qingle, "Qingle, you take the elixir to recover first. I'll be there to support you."
Tong Yan asked Shen Zhuangheng, "Do you want to help?"
Shen Zhuangheng nodded, "Senior Sister Jiang saved me before. Now that she is in trouble, I should help her."
The two of them decided to take action, so Huo Qizhi naturally had no reason to sit idly by and said from the side, "In this case, I should join them."
When Tong Yan and the three of them joined the battle, the situation in which the others were suppressed was immediately relieved to a certain extent.
The monster in front of him was partially pulled away by Tong Yan, and Jiang Qingle, whose pressure was suddenly reduced, couldn't help but glance at her.
As she was distracted, a vine took the opportunity to bite her. Just as Jiang Qingle was about to cut off the vine, a burst of fire suddenly flew from the side and burned it to ashes.
Shen Zhuangheng stood in the distance and reminded, "It would be too disrespectful to the monster to be distracted at this moment."
Jiang Qingle raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said in a calm tone, "Thank you, Junior Brother Shen, for your help."
