"This trial has officially started. All trial participants, please rush to the teleportation array outside the trial hall as soon as possible. The teleportation array will be closed in ten days!"
Six days later, Liu Yu was sitting cross-legged in the magic circle and adjusting his breath. The vicissitudes of voice rang in his ears again, and the magic circle barrier also dissipated. Liu Yu immediately stood up and rushed out.
The "Evil Bone Tomb" is a large ghostly ghost land with dim light, but some of the ground is illuminated by a faint phosphorescent light that flickers on and off. If you look closely, you can see that it is the phosphorescence produced by the decay of bones.
When Liu Yu set foot on this desolate land, gusts of cold wind blew past her ears, and a chill could not help but emerge from the bottom of her heart.
The land is as dry as the Gobi Desert, with gravel and rocks everywhere. The cold wind blows through, kicking up bursts of dust, revealing numerous bones buried under the sand.
Looking around, although the terrain is flat, the undulating hills also block the distant view.
There are various kinds of dead bones scattered on the ground, including human bones. These bones are either exposed on the ground or half buried in the soil, weathered, broken and in dilapidated condition.
"Sand, sand." At this time, the sand was churning not far away, and a few pairs of gray and white bone hands stretched out, and several skeletons crawled out of the soil. These skeletons were also dilapidated, with arms and legs missing, but there was a red light in the empty eye sockets.
.
Don't look at the skeletons standing up, swaying from side to side, looking like they are about to fall apart in the wind. They are limping, but their movements are not slow. There are even skeletons with no leg bones, simply crawling quickly on the ground.
He rushed towards Liu Yu.
"Sick!" Liu Yu frowned slightly, and then used the Sword Control Technique with one hand. The Jinli Sword turned into a golden light and flew out. The sword light shuttled through, defeating several skeletons in succession, and scattered the remaining limbs and bones on the ground.
From the collapsed skeletons, several black shadows flew out, which were ghosts. Obviously, these skeletons were possessed by these ghosts, so they could stand and walk like living creatures. The soul bodies of these ghosts solidified,
Everything has reached the "Shadow Soul" level.
These "shadow souls" floated in the air, and then rushed towards Liu Yu, but under the sword energy, they exploded into black smoke one after another. They were only equivalent to the "shadow souls" in the late stage of Qi training. To Liu Yu today
, is already too weak.
Liu Yu took down a "Miasma Breaking Pill" and a "Wind Control Pill", and affixed a "Divine Movement Talisman" and a "Hidden Breath Talisman" on himself, and then used the Wind Control Technique to move towards
He dashed forward. In a place where ghosts were rampant, flying with a sword was not advisable.
Once it comes, it will definitely attract many ghosts to pursue it. Ordinary ghosts are okay, but in this "evil bone tomb", there are many "evil ghosts" in the foundation building stage, and even "yin demons" in the golden elixir stage.
Secondly, it is easy to expose oneself and become a living target, being secretly spied on by other testers, putting oneself in extreme danger.
According to many ancient records about the "Evil Bone Tomb", when trialists enter the secret realm, they will be randomly distributed in the outermost edge area around the secret realm. The trial hall is in the middle of the secret realm ghost land, and trialists come from all directions.
Just rush to the central area.
If it only takes two or three days to control the sword, if you switch to the wind control and run on the ground, it will take six or seven days to travel. If you encounter a difficult ghost along the way, you must either kill it or take a detour, so the time
It's not too generous.
About half a day later, Liu Yu used the wind control technique to step on the raised stones on the ground, and was running forward quickly. From the black sand that was surrounded by wisps of evil spirit, one or two skeletons with bloody eyes climbed up from time to time.
soldiers.
As we go deeper, more and more ghosts are floating and wandering in the air. These ghosts are not transformed from the remaining souls of various living creatures in the outside world, but they are natural ghosts transformed from the evil spirits and resentments in the secret realm.
These ghost souls are purer and more confused. They have been in a state of confusion since birth, and it is extremely difficult to awaken a trace of spiritual wisdom.
Just relying on instinct to chase and attract Yin Qi to survive, regardless of cultivation, a slightly stronger Yin wind can blow away these Yin souls and turn them back into wisps of pure primary Yin turbidity.
But it reunited in a certain corner and evolved into a wisp of smoke that could be blown away by the cold wind at any time.
In this small world, this phenomenon is constantly being staged, over and over again. While thousands of ghosts are born, thousands more ghosts dissipate.
By chance, some of the ghosts' souls gradually solidified and grew stronger, and they would instinctively attack the weaker ghosts, because the souls of the ghosts exploded, and the pure primary yin and turbid air released was the easiest to absorb.
Conflicts would break out between the ghosts in this small world from time to time, in order to devour the pure yin energy carried by each other's souls, not to mention the vigorous qi and blood in living people, which is a fatal attraction to the ghosts.
Therefore, Liu Yu did not stop along the way, even though there were many old spiritual materials growing in some sheltered corners along the way, such as red weeds, ghost mushrooms, cold flowers, etc.
These yin spiritual materials grow behind some rocks or in low-lying places, in clumps after clumps, and they grow very well. The years vary from decades to hundreds of years. Picking some can exchange for a lot of spiritual stones.
If he were outside, Liu Yuding would not be able to help but stop. But at this moment, Liu Yu just wanted to reach the teleportation array outside the trial hall as soon as possible and had no interest in these spiritual materials.
Because the ghosts are everywhere in the "Evil Bone Tomb", and there are so many of them that even if you are on your way, you will bump into one or two wandering ghosts from time to time.
There are a large number of living souls following behind from time to time. Even if they can be thrown away by their own speed, soon after they are thrown away, other ghosts wandering around will be attracted by the vitality and blood of the living people and follow them.
In short, you can only keep moving forward to avoid being overtaken by these ghosts. Once you stop, you will inevitably be surrounded by these wandering ghosts.
But Liu Yu still stopped in front of a depression. In the depression below, there were small patches of green "soul-calming grass" growing, some of which were even half a person tall and were hundreds of years old.
The "soul-clearing liquid" that I take on daily basis is made from the "soul-calming grass" as the main medicine. It has the effect of cultivating the soul and nourishing the spirit and quickly restoring the soul. The older the soul-calming grass used, the better the effect.
will be better.
Furthermore, soul-suppressing grass of this age is very rare in the world of cultivation and sells for a lot of money in the market. It can be used as an auxiliary medicine in refining other precious elixirs, such as the "Eight Soul Pill".
There were at least a hundred plants in such a small area, which made Liu Yu feel a little moved. He opened his "psychic eyes" and carefully looked at the depression and the surrounding conditions.
I saw a large number of ghosts, attracted by the vegetation essence emitted by the soul-suppressing grass, hovering over the depression. There were hundreds of them, but they were all souls born during the Qi training period, and no evil ghosts from the foundation-building period were seen.
Liu Yu immediately activated a fifth-grade "Fire Shield Talisman", propped up a spiritual shield burning with flames, and then rushed towards the depression below.
The wandering ghosts hovering in the air rioted one after another when they smelled the blood of the living people, and immediately swarmed towards Liu Yu.
"Puff, puff!" Before these ghosts hit the spirit shield, they were already burned by the flames on the surface of the spirit shield, turning into black smoke and flying away, like moths to the flame.
Although these ghosts were numerous in number, they could not get close at all and were ignored by Liu Yu.
Liu Yu began to search the depression carefully, picking only soul-soothing grass that was more than a hundred years old. During the period, the surrounding soil was churning and skeletons were trying to get up from time to time. However, before they could climb out of the pit, they were cut into pieces by the hovering Jinli Sword.
Two paragraphs.
Soon, Liu Yu searched the lowland and picked more than 50 soul-soothing plants that were more than a century old. He immediately left the place without stopping.
To avoid being surrounded by a large number of wandering ghosts attracted by the movement just now.
…
In the next few days, more and more bones of all kinds were scattered on the ground around them, and they could be seen everywhere. If you took a few steps forward, you could step on several dead bones and break them, making a crisp clicking sound.
Sometimes you can see some huge unknown skeletons, half buried in the soil, and the part of the skeleton exposed on the ground has long been weathered into stone, just like a hill. It is unknown what kind of tall and ferocious beast it was when it was alive.
The number of skeleton soldiers is also increasing. They travel in groups of threes and twos, wandering aimlessly around the deserted Gobi. Against the backdrop of the phosphorescent light on the ground, they look like walking corpses.
Moreover, the skeletons of these skeleton soldiers are becoming more and more complete, no longer missing arms or legs. Some are even covered with pieces of rotten armor, and they also hold half knives and sword-shaped iron tools in their hands.
Although they were all rusted and tattered and had long since lost their shape, these skeleton soldiers exuded a bit of ferocious aura.
No, there were several huge skeletons embedded on a hillside in front of Liu Yu. There were a large number of broken bones scattered around the huge skeletons. The green light from the phosphorus fire illuminated the surrounding area.
Only fungi shaped like matsutake mushrooms and textured like black jade were seen growing in the black mud directly under the huge skeletons. They were the sixth-grade spiritual material "black jade bone antler".
This spiritual material not only needs to grow in a place with strong yin energy, but also grows with bones. It is extremely rare and is more than three hundred years old. It can be used to refine the "Bone Velvet Pill".
The effect of this elixir is the same as that of "Lingquan Yuan Dan". After a cultivator successfully takes it to transcend tribulation, it can improve the quality of his own elixir. Although the effect is weaker than "Lingquan Yuan Dan", it is also a rare and top-quality elixir.
The age of the "black jade bone antler" is also easy to distinguish. This antler has no leaves or flowers. The longer the antler body, the older the age. And every hundred years, like growth rings on a tree, a circle of white lines will appear on the handle.
.
Liu Yu took a quick look and found that three of them were significantly higher than the other bone mushrooms. Judging from the white circles on their caps, two were two hundred years old and one was three hundred years old.
At this moment, the ground around the huge skeletons shook violently, soil splashed everywhere, and skeleton soldiers holding broken blades and wearing broken armor flew directly out of the soil.
There are hundreds of these skeleton soldiers, and the leader is an extremely tall four-armed skeleton. This skeleton is wearing thick iron armor and holding a two-handed long knife. The blade is filled with cold light, just like a skeleton general.
Under the psychic eye, this skeleton general exudes an astonishing evil spirit. Through the gaps between the armor plates, you can still see the evil ghost body hidden under the armor.
While Liu Yu was sizing up the skeleton general, the four-armed skeleton was also sizing up the "enemy" who suddenly appeared. The strange and alluring energy and blood exuded from the opponent's body made it unbearably hot.
But the four-armed skeleton did not rush forward rashly with a group of subordinates. Ever since it awakened a trace of spiritual wisdom, it had never seen a living creature with such rich vitality and blood.
In its hundreds of years of monotonous and long memory, it has only seen one kind of living creature with blood, and that is the gopher hidden deep in the ground.
In the early years, these despicable gophers often took advantage of the time when it was out to eat the treasures behind it. However, as its combat power increased and it recruited many younger brothers, these guys no longer dared to show their faces.
But the blood on these guys is so sweet. I haven’t tasted that sweet taste for a long time. I really miss it!
"Woo!" The four-armed skeleton roared, suppressing a group of subordinates who were attracted by the blood and were ready to move. Years of fighting for territory with ghosts made it faintly sense a dangerous aura under the opponent's attractive blood.
Liu Yu looked at the four-armed skeleton from a distance. Inside the four-armed skeleton there should be a Yin evil spirit in the Dan Condensation stage, which is equivalent to the evil spirit in the late stage of monk foundation building.
Most of the other skeleton soldiers around have shadow souls attached to them. Only the three skeleton soldiers standing next to the four-armed skeleton have evil ghosts hidden in their bodies, but they are only in the evil armor stage.
However, after thinking for a moment, Liu Yu slowly retreated, his figure slowly disappearing from the sight of these skeleton soldiers, and did not move to snatch the three-hundred-year-old "Black Jade Bone Velvet" that had captured his heart.
With Liu Yu's current cultivation level and the many means he has in reserve, it is not difficult to defeat these skeleton soldiers and the four-armed skeleton general.
But Liu Yu only had one purpose for this trip, which was to enter the trial hall and compete for a "Evil Jade Fruit", so he would not take risks such as actions that consume a lot of mana.
Along the way, with the convenience of his "psychic eye", Liu Yu has discovered many rare spiritual materials, such as Yinfeng Fruit, Xuanyin Black Ginseng, Black Blood Ginseng, etc.
These spiritual materials are of a high grade, and they were grown in a secret realm that was opened five hundred years ago. They are all rare and old things. Those that are one or two hundred years old can be found everywhere, just wandering around.
I can pick a few plants.
Liu Yu also saw a lot of those three to four hundred year old medicines, but most of these spiritual materials were guarded by some foundation-building ghosts. If you want to pick them, you will naturally have to do it, which will consume mana.
But Liu Yu resisted the temptation and did not start picking. Instead, she chose to take a detour as she did now.
In the "Evil Bone Tomb", there is no trace of the five elements of spiritual energy. The wind and evil spirits are eroding Liu Yu's mana all the time. The only way to restore his mana is to swallow pills.
Although Liu Yu has prepared a large amount of high-quality "Returning Pills" in his storage bag, once he enters the trial hall, it will be a life-or-death situation. Who knows what changes will happen. If he can save some, he will have to take some. If he runs out of pills,
, then everything will be over.
Once you take action, there is no guarantee that the huge movement will not attract other testers or other more difficult ghosts, putting yourself in danger, which is not worth the gain.
According to some rumors recorded in an ancient book from the side sect and from Liu Yu, it is said that the "Dark Blood Demon Tiger" clan, a remnant of the ancient demon clan, may be hidden in this "Evil Bone Tomb".
This clan of "Dark Blood Demonic Tigers" is said to be tall and mighty, with human-shaped tiger heads, bloodthirsty and ferocious, and likes to eat living people. Before Fairy Jian Yue came, it was said that they were the masters of Dongyuan Continent.
I don’t know if this rumor is true or not. It’s probably just a rumor, because no one has used the photo charm to find a clear figure of the “Tiger Man” in the secret place. Most of them are just passed down by word of mouth, or some vague pictures have been captured.
.
The light in the "Evil Bone Tomb" is already dim, with only the faint phosphorescent light, coupled with the evil spirit seeping out from the ground from time to time, giving the surrounding scene a colorful and distorted feeling. The shadow talisman is placed in such a place, and the images left behind are natural.
It becomes very blurry.
Whether it is true or not, there is nothing wrong with rushing to the Trial Hall as early as possible. There is no room for any mistakes in this trip to the secret realm.
