A Sword Through the Nine Heavens Chapter 156: See the maze again
I met a ghost in broad daylight!
Kiba was unwilling to walk again. This time he slowed down and carefully observed the road ahead. As expected, he walked around and saw dark vines and messy middle-aged men. He simply changed directions and walked back, walking through the misty white fog, but still saw a middle-aged man with a calm face.
"It's the same if you walk hundreds of times. It's very weird. I have tried it more than a thousand times." The middle-aged man shook his head as he looked at Kiba's unbelief in evil. In the past six months, he has almost touched this road, but he couldn't find the way out. As long as you walk straight, you will definitely return to the origin.
"Can't go out, is this the territory of the Youmen Demon Race?" Mu Yu asked warily.
He still remembers how Mu Youmeng used the trees to set the way for them. But there are no plants around here, it must not be Mu Youmeng's work, there is a river next to it, it should be related to the water Youmen.
"Youmen Demon Race? Hasn't that been gone for a long time? Of course this is not where the Eumen Demon Race belongs. Why do you ask?" the middle-aged man asked strangely.
Muyu frowned: "Isn't it the territory of the Yumen Demon Race?"
"This is the maze set up by Senior Witherwood Evergreen. We are trapped in the maze." The middle-aged man continued, "You thought you were walking in a straight line along the river bank, but you already went around without knowing it. It's a circle."
"You mean the river is a circle?" Kiyu doesn't understand very well. He is not unfamiliar with the formations. Let alone the Luochen Mountain where he has been together day and night is full of various powerful formations. He came to the Triple Continent. It is also relying on the teleportation array of the Youmen Demon Race, not to mention that there is a prison that threatens the millions of people in the Moyun Mountain Range.
"The valley is straight, and the river is also straight. Even if it’s bent, it won’t make a circle. We are trapped in a puzzle. What you see with your eyes may not be true. This is the valley fan. The power of the array."
This explanation can explain the problem very well. In order not to be affected by the formation of the Youmen Demon Race, Mu Yu used Sinan to indicate the route. Unfortunately, he does not have Sinan now. Withered Wood Evergreen can transform this place into a powerful puzzle, which is enough to explain the extraordinaryness of this person.
Every formation has a way to crack it, and it depends on whether the flaws in this formation are obvious enough for Kiba to notice. Somewhat helplessly, Mu Yu didn't learn the knowledge of formation from the master, and Master did not intend to teach him the way of formation for some reason.
"What's your name?" the man asked.
"Kiba."
"You can call me Lao Tan."
Mu Yu felt that Old Tan didn't look like a bad person. He wanted to sit down, and when he saw the skeleton, he moved a few steps aside.
"Where is this place?" Kiba asked.
"You really don't know? No one told you that you can't enter here?"
Kiha shook his head embarrassedly: "I sneaked out, no one told me."
Old Tan suddenly realized that this kid was probably a disciple who sneaked out to play, but unfortunately he entered this place by mistake. This life is destined to end.
"Withered Wood Evergreen, you probably have never heard of it. Withered Wood Evergreen is a well-known person in the realm of cultivation, with a superb cultivation level, a weird temper, no sect background, no disciple, and even the eight sects. Easy to provoke him. This valley is still a normal place, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but one day five years ago, a stone tablet was erected at the entrances on both sides of the valley, which said, "There are demon fruits in the valley, take them. It must be reported. At the same time, the valley began to appear heavy fog."
Old Tan paused. He should also be moving towards the word "good report", and then said: "The dead wood is always green and has a strange temper. Many people are unpredictable. He is neither a wicked person nor a person. A decent person, but he is a person who will do what he says, or a master of poison. His poison makes many cultivators frightened. The cultivation world is spreading that the dead wood is ready to live in this place. He should think Looking for a descendant, these levels were set up in the valley to test. However, he himself did not confirm that only people below the out-of-aperture stage can enter this valley, which means that the highest cultivation level that can enter is only in the Yuan Ying stage."
Why are it so similar to the restrictions of the Moyun Mountains!
Mu Yu murmured, but Moyun Mountain soon couldn't even enter the Yuan Ying stage, so there was still a difference.
According to what Lao Tan said, many people are eager to try. People in the Jindan stage of the Nascent Soul Stage have flooded in from the beginning, all wanting to find the so-called Sky Demon Fruit. Some people are here to join in the fun, some people really want to worship dead wood as a teacher. However, as soon as it came in, the turquoise poisonous mist first poisoned the practitioners of the Golden Core Stage, and those of the Yuan Ying Stage could pass through with their own cultivation base. However, people in the Yuan Ying period were also trapped in the maze when they arrived here. Some powerful people cracked the maze and continued to move forward, but they had never heard of anyone who succeeded.
For the past five years, this place has been listed as a forbidden place. Many people of the sect will warn the disciples not to enter the valley of dead wood. However, even though they knew that many people died in it, many people still rushed in desperately. Some people wanted to get the inheritance of Witherwood Evergreen, or like Lao Tan, let Witherwood Evergreen help him to avenge him.
Lao Tan should have forged a deep hatred with someone. He has no ability to avenge him. In desperation, he wanted to come here to try his luck, but he was also trapped here.
"We haven't even heard of this place. We just came in to find food and money." Xiaoshuai said innocently.
"According to what you said, many people should have died, but I didn't see many human bones, only a dozen." Kiba puzzled.
"When it gets dark, it will be unsafe on the river bank. Monster beasts will run out of the river to find food. Whatever can be eaten will be eaten on the bank. If it is not finished, it will be dragged into the water. Most of the beasts I wouldn't go to that green mist." Lao Tan said of those monsters with a hint of terror on their faces. With his cultivation base of the primordial infant stage, he would feel scared. How powerful are those monsters?
"Then how can this skeleton remain so intact?" Kiba glanced at the skeleton next to Lao Tan. No bones were missing from the skeleton, and the joints were all connected.
Old Tan sighed and said: "There is a monster named Rongshui Yao in the river. The venom of the Rongshui monster will instantly melt human flesh and blood. This guy is too unlucky to take timely measures at night. , So he was splashed with the venom of the Melting Water Monster and turned into a skeleton directly."
"It's so dangerous here, how did you escape the attack of monsters, uncle?" Mu Yu had heard of the monster beasts like the Rongshui monster, which uses venom to turn human flesh into the purest Blood energy, and then swallowed it again. Many monsters are reluctant to touch the skeleton after being contaminated by the venom, which is why the skeleton is so well preserved.
"Have you seen the top? Someone has dug out a cave on the cliff wall. This is where I live. I can't fly here, and the more I climb, the more pressure I get." Old Tan sighed." Very few people have come here, and I haven't spoken to anyone for half a year."
"We saw someone coming in just now!" Xiaoshuai said, "but we lost him."
"He might be across the river!"
Lao Tan was a little surprised. Since hundreds of people died here, no one in the Yuan Ying period would have been thinking about the inheritance of the deadwood evergreen. I have never heard of anyone who has succeeded in so many years.
"Can you cross the river?" Kiyu glanced across the river. The fog was too thick and only a faint outline could be seen. The width of the river was about 100 meters. .
Lao Tan shook his head: "There is a whirlpool in the center of the river. We can't fly here and we can't break free. Fortunately, the water in the river can be drunk, otherwise I will live for half a year."
As long as there is aura, the cultivator can avoid eating. The aura in the valley is very depressing and not suitable for cultivation, so Lao Tan can only live by drinking water.
"Aren't there living vines on the cliff? They don't attack people?" Kiba was entangled by a piece of living vine just now.
"Of course it will. Just leave a snack and stay here as much as possible during the day. In fact, I'm very curious that no one from the Golden Core period can come here. How did you come?"
Kiha smiled, he naturally wouldn't say that he can control wood, so he casually said: "I'm born with a hundred poisonousness."
Who knows that Lao Tan looked at Mu Yu with a shocked look: "Are you the legendary bodyless?"
"No physique?"
Kiha thinks it's fun to think about it. He has a very good physique and feels helpless. At the beginning, the master of medicine said that he had a wood attribute physique, but now Lao Tan has a non-physical constitution, so what kind of physique is the non-physical?
"You don’t know? No physique is a legendary physique that is not invaded by poisons. They are naturally resistant to things that are harmful to the body. They will never get sick. The auras they absorb from the outside world are the purest auras, so Their cultivation speed is very fast." Old Tan said in admiration.
Kiha doesn't care about the lack of physique. He knows that he is not lack of physique. He is just more special, but the cultivation will soon be true. Now he most wants to know how to get out of here. This uncle has been stuck here for half a year and has not gone out. Can he get out?
Night fell quickly. According to Lao Tan, the river bank was already unsafe. Lao Tan was still a good man, and let Ki Yu squeeze with him in the cave on the cliff. It took a lot of effort to climb to this cave. You can't fly here. The more you climb, the more pressure you will get, and Kiba is exhausted.
The stone cave is very narrow and was manually excavated. It is only about one meter high and two meters wide. Lao Tan has widened it a bit, about three meters deep. He has only widened so much in half a year. The hardness of the mountain can be imagined.
Lao Tan said that the aura here is thin and the cultivation speed is slow, but Mu Yu feels that the aura here is not much worse than that of the Moyun Mountains~IndoMTL.com~ so Mu Yu can still adapt. The two used the pill flint to make a fire, and Lao Tan hadn't eaten for half a year. Unfortunately, no live monsters were found here, otherwise he could still use the pill flint to roast some prey.
Mu Yu took out the last roast goose and distributed it to Lao Tan, as a thank you for taking him in. Xiao Shuai was very reluctant. After Mu Yu warned him not to mess around, he didn't say anything against it. Lao Tan hadn't seen anything for half a year, and when he saw the roast goose, he immediately gobbled up.
Although the cultivator in the Yuanying stage does not need to eat food, food can quickly restore physical fitness compared to spiritual energy. It is human nature to eat. The feeling of not eating for half a year is uncomfortable. Xiaoshuai hasn't eaten for a day. I groan when I eat.
The night in the valley is terribly quiet, there are no bugs, no frogs croaking, only strange rustling and river clanging, you can't see the sky when you look up during the day, let alone night. Kiyu sat at the entrance of the cave and looked at the darkness outside. He didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or something. He always felt that something was crawling around on the riverbank below. After watching for a while, he decided to sit back. Old Tan was already sitting there, not knowing whether it was cultivating or sleeping, and Mu Yu didn't bother him.
"I didn't come if I knew it a long time ago." Mu Yu's intestines were all regretful. Others came in looking for treasures. He just came to find food, but he didn't expect to take himself in. This is really good luck.
Kiha feels that he should get a good night's sleep first, and then think about how to leave tomorrow. He closed his eyes with those silent and monotonous voices, but he was completely drowsy at the moment, and there were only those voices in his ears, which seemed not quite right, as if there were other voices appearing outside...
"It's fighting." Old Tan opened his eyes, quickly moved to the entrance of the cave, and looked outside.
Kiyu quickly got up and ran into the roof of the cave in a panic. He snorted in pain and came to the entrance of the cave with tears.
