The previous beast shadows appeared one after another and launched attacks one by one, but even so, Zi Chen had suffered heavy losses and reached his own limit.
However, the next moment, he rushed forward quickly.
By doing this, it seems that Zi Chen will step out of the stone steps as quickly as possible, but during the process, he will be attacked by many beast shadows at the same time.
As the brilliance flashed, each of the beast eagles opened their eyes, their eyes gleaming with light, and then a series of beast shadows rushed out from the beast eagles and entered the Purple Chen Sea of Consciousness that rushed past.
Zi Chen's sudden behavior shocked everyone.
In this way, Zi Chen seems to have succeeded, but in fact he is not far away from death. This is simply a choice to commit suicide to help Dong Qing.
"Uh-huh."
Zi Chen successfully took a few steps and reached the front of the castle. As soon as he rushed out, he fell down and never got up again.
"Zi Chen."
There was a loud shout from behind, but there were stone steps, and no one present could reach this place smoothly.
More than a dozen beast shadows rushed into Zi Chen's sea of consciousness one after another and began to wreak havoc crazily, trying to destroy Zi Chen's sea of consciousness.
The roar of the beast resounded, vibrating with strong energy, causing Zi Chen's entire world of consciousness to tremble.
The beast shadow rushed in and immediately found the soul that Zi Chen was fully defending.
This soul appears golden, but it is no longer bright. It forms the last line of defense and looks like it may be shattered and dissipated at any time.
More than a dozen beast shadows arrived instantly and began to wreak havoc on the golden defense.
"Bang." "Bang."......
The beast shadow was powerful and domineering, instantly tearing the golden defense to pieces, and Zi Chen's entire soul appeared.
This is Zi Chen wearing golden clothes. He looks very weak at the moment, and the golden light is dim, but his golden eyes are very bright.
He looked up at the beast shadows, with no panic on his face and a calm expression. In his hand, a golden ball was becoming dim at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The golden ball contained a powerful force, which was absorbed by Zi Chen and then transformed into the scabbard of his left hand.
The originally dim scabbard burst into dazzling golden light at the next moment.
This golden light seemed to make the beast shadows extremely uneasy, and they suddenly launched an attack.
Zi Chen's right hand was already on the scabbard, and the next moment, the long sword was unsheathed.
"bass."
The loud roar of the sword resounded, and the shining light of the sword filled the whole world.
The previously dim world of the sea of consciousness was instantly illuminated.
I saw a circle composed of irregular sword lights, blooming and scattering like flowers.
The sword light passed over the bodies of the surrounding beast shadows, and the beast shadows disappeared one after another...
Zi Chen lay on the ground, motionless. The shouts in the distance never stopped, but Zi Chen didn't respond at all.
Because the battle was in the sea of consciousness, no one could sense whether Zi Chen was alive or dead at this moment.
After a long time, Zi Chen's fingers trembled slightly, his eyelids began to tremble, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"As expected."
When Zi Chen opened his eyes again, he still looked very weak, but his eyes were very bright.
Of course he couldn't sacrifice himself. In fact, he had a plan in mind when he moved forward.
Sure enough, the last knife with all his strength killed all the beast shadows.
"Wake up, Zi Chen is awake."
"Zi Chen is still alive."
Seeing Zi Chen gradually making moves, everyone's eyes also lit up with joy, and they started to exclaim.
"This liar is really scary to death." Wushuang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a groan.
"This is really an extreme challenge." Lang Wei sighed in his heart, admiring Zi Chen more and more.
As for Manshi and others, they obviously didn't think that much. After seeing Zichen still alive, they cheered loudly.
Zi Chen stood up and looked back at everyone, with a hint of apology on his face.
At this time, he was still very weak and needed to recover his lost spiritual thoughts as soon as possible, but before that, he released Dong Qing from his own reality world.
After Dong Qing came out, his face was still stained with tears, and then he threw himself into Zi Chen's arms and began to cry loudly.
"This guy is really bad. He knows he can't die, but he wants to deceive girls in this way. It's really disgusting." Wushuang pouted and said dissatisfied.
Langwei chuckled, but said nothing.
In the back, Wu Xie, who was standing not far from Shangguan Hong, said, "Humph, this Zi Chen really has a scheming mind."
As he said that, he secretly looked at Shangguan Hong, but found that the latter had no reaction at all, so he could only smile bitterly.
"It's okay, I had a plan before." Dong Qing obviously saw what happened outside, Zi Chen gently patted Dong Qing's back and comforted him.
"Don't be so desperate in the future." Dong Qing choked and couldn't stop crying.
Zi Chen smiled and nodded.
Seeing Dong Qing's tears gradually stop, Zi Chen said: "Hurry open the castle door and see what's inside."
Dong Qing was also curious, but she did not open the door immediately. Instead, after repeatedly confirming that Zi Chen's injury was not fatal, she turned around and walked towards the castle gate.
She has a slim figure and light steps. After putting her jade hand on the castle door, she pushed it gently and the door opened.
As the gate of the castle opened, a desolate and primitive atmosphere came out from the gate.
Zi Chen looked at the opened door of the castle, his expression condensed, and he took a breath of air.
I saw more animal sculptures in the gate. After the gate was opened, almost all of these animal sculptures came to life. Their eyes were shining brightly, and beast shadows appeared around them. Some were jumping, and some were jumping. Some were pacing back and forth, some were looking out the door, their eyes full of indifference, and some looked very curious.
"Well... let's go." Seeing such a scene, Zi Chen also stepped forward and pulled Dong Qing and said.
Dongqing shook his head.
This place is full of beast shadows. If a beast controller is here, he should be able to handle this kind of thing very well, but Dong Qing is not a beast controller yet, so this place is very dangerous for her.
Zi Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "This opportunity... doesn't matter."
He rarely backed down, and he didn't want others to back down, but the situation in front of them forced them to retreat.
Dong Qing shook her head again, this time she seemed less stubborn, and she said softly: "Although it is dangerous, there is still hope, because these beast shadows will no longer test the spirit."
Indeed, even ordinary beast controllers may not be able to pass through the ninety-nine stone steps in the outside world. If spiritual thoughts are tested here again, then this place will no longer be a place of chance, but a place of death.
Zi Chen wanted to say something, but Dong Qing stepped in.
Stepping into the gate of the castle, she looked back at Zi Chen, her eyes calm and firm, and she said to Zi Chen in very soft words: "I don't want to be a burden on your future."
After finishing speaking, Dong Qing turned around and entered the castle, and the opened gate of the castle slowly closed after Dong Qing entered.
Before closing, Zi Chen saw many beast shadows and rushed towards Dong Qing.
Zi Chen wanted to shout, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't shout. His nose felt sore and there was moisture in his eyes.
Only Zi Chen could hear the last sentence, and Dong Qing's meaning was also clear. She didn't want to become Zi Chen's burden in the future, just like today.
Therefore, she needed to go to this narrow escape opportunity.
Either transform and become stronger and become Zi Chen's partner in the future, or die without worries.
The castle gate was tightly closed and could no longer be opened. Zi Chen walked back the same way, but the beast eagles did not attack.
Wu Shuang's mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak. He just patted Zi Chen on the shoulder to express comfort like a big sister.
She didn't hear Dong Qing's last words, but in the face of such a situation, Dong Qing still wanted to go in. The meaning was obviously obvious.
Lang Wei's expression also became extremely complicated. He only spent a short time with these people, but he felt many things that he had only heard about but never experienced personally.
For example, brotherly friendship involves sacrificing oneself for one’s friends.
"Let's go."
After walking through the stone steps and arriving in front of everyone, Zi Chen said lightly.
Dongqing has chosen her own path, and she can only walk on her own next, and these people still have a longer way to go.
Zi Chen walked forward, feeling very complicated.
He just purely wanted to help Dong Qing, but he unexpectedly made Dong Qing feel the pressure. If he hadn't worked too hard and walked through the stone steps, Dong Qing might have quit halfway and wouldn't have persisted in the end.
Zi Chen's mood was complicated and contradictory, and he didn't know whether he was right or wrong.
"You are right, this is Dong Qing's choice." As if he had guessed Zi Chen's inner thoughts, Shangguan Hong walked up to him and said.
Zi Chen nodded and said nothing.
"If it were me, I would make the same choice." Shangguanhong said.
Zi Chen looked at her in surprise.
"She made this choice not because she worked too hard, but because she didn't want to be a burden to you in the future. Although she never expressed what she was thinking, I know that she always wanted to follow you." Shangguanhong smiled. , but there was a touch of sadness in the beautiful smile, "Just like me, as long as you keep going, but if you want to follow along, your strength will naturally increase... So, she probably doesn't want to be a drag on you."
As we walked forward, there was a period of silence.
The atmosphere is slightly depressing.
"boom."
It wasn't until the energy fluctuations of the battle resounded that everyone regained their energy.
A few miles away, a giant appeared. The giant's body was glowing, like a giant peak.
Many monks looked very small in front of this giant. As the giant took action, the void energy shook violently, and the bodies of the monks exploded directly.
"What is that, a mountain giant?" When Manshi saw such a tall giant, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.
Those monks, like crazy, rushed towards the mountain giant, but the bodies of any monks who tried to approach the mountain giant would explode in mid-air.
"Are these people crazy? They actually rushed forward to seek death."
Seeing the piles of dead monks, Wu Xie said angrily.
"No, look there." Zi Chen's pupils shrank and he pointed to a certain place.
