After the battle was over, the sphere was in a tragic scene. There were only fifteen people left on Gong Chenying's side, including the injured monks who had been put into the spirit storage bag before, and all of them were injured.
After this battle, Gong Chenying was seriously injured. Several people who were familiar with Li Yan, Yu Yiyong was killed in battle, Hu Ziyi was killed in battle, Qi Busheng and Mi Yuanzhi were killed in battle, Wu Shixi was seriously injured, Ding Yiwei was seriously injured, Mei Bucai and Cheng Jingnian were slightly injured.
Among the fifteen people, only six were left with fighting power. When they walked out of the yellow sphere and came to the fifth level, they all looked very weak.
After Gong Chenying recovered with difficulty, her face turned pale and bloodless. She looked at everyone, raised her bare hands with difficulty and took in the most seriously injured people, leaving Mei Bucai and six others outside.
It was also a coincidence that the spirit storage bag was filled with seriously injured people, except Gong Chenying herself. Except for herself, the others outside were slightly injured.
Gong Chenying looked at Mei Bucai, Cheng Jingnian and the other six people who were still resuming their meditation, and at the last level ahead, she couldn't help but frown, her thoughts surging for a moment.
"How can I lead them through this last stage? In my current state, even if I can barely fight to ten miles away, I am afraid I will not be able to fight in the ball anymore. Unless the other party is in the same state as us, otherwise..."
Gong Chenying held her abdomen with her hands and looked forward, her posture still upright, but the cramps coming from her abdomen made her frown from time to time.
She was seriously injured. Although she had used her master's elixir "Ghost Soothing" for external application and swallowed some nourishing pills, she could not recover in a short period of time.
The last spear of the longhorn beetle monster was a blow with all its strength, which almost pierced through her abdomen. If it had moved down a few inches, Gong Chenying's dantian would have shattered and become a disabled person.
Now, the best thing for her to do is to recuperate for a few months immediately. Otherwise, as long as she uses her spiritual power to fight, the wound will burst open again, and her injury will only get worse.
"I don't know how Junior Brother is doing now. Has he found Senior Brother Baili and the others? If he comes back, will he be able to find a solution..."
Gong Chenying was staring blankly ahead, and somehow Li Yan's figure appeared in front of her. For a moment, she was a little dazed.
"It's good that Junior Brother is not here. Otherwise, he might end up like Zi Yi and the others in the next level, and I won't be able to explain to Senior Brother."
Gong Chenying looked a little gloomy. In the previous level, so many of her fellow disciples had died on the spot. Although she knew that monsters were very powerful, often one monster could fight against two or three cultivators of the same level without being at a disadvantage.
But in her opinion, with the means used by the Wuliang Sect, they would not be at a disadvantage. However, she never expected that they would encounter the dream combination of the Longicorn Clan and the Holy Light Moth Clan.
Not only were they incredibly fast, but what was even more terrifying was that most toxins were useless to them. The Holy Light Moths also had the innate ability to heal. The battle was stalemate for a cup of tea, and their side suffered heavy losses.
"The Wuliang Sect is good at using poison to drive away insects and attacking with hidden weapons. Even the other three major sects have a headache when they meet us. When our strength is roughly equal, they are rarely willing to fight with us.
But everything has its own contradictions. It is our misfortune to encounter this combination of two tribes of monsters. We can only fight to the death in this stage."
And just as Gong Chenying was thinking.
Suddenly, the scene in front of her eyes changed drastically. The originally normal space suddenly seemed to be sucked by a strong force. All the buildings, including the sky and the earth, were instantly stretched and twisted to one place, as if someone was pulling them away with force...
Before Gong Chenying and the six people who were meditating could react, their bodies were pulled up from the ground and flew higher and farther. In the sky, only the distant exclamations of Mei Bucai and others were left.
After a dizzy spell, Gong Chenying and his companions appeared in a valley, which made everyone look terrified and at a loss, not knowing what had happened.
Just when they were confused and cautious, an old voice resounded throughout the world.
"There will be no restrictions on the teams fighting here. Once you finally reach the central sphere, you will complete the Wheel of Life and Death mission!"
The sound was like rolling spring thunder, rumbling from the sky, spreading in all directions, and then slowly disappearing and diminishing, startling the birds in the mountains and forests and causing gravel to fall.
At the same time, Wang Lang, with a ferocious face, was standing on a high peak with three others. From the initial look of confusion to the sound and disappearance of the old voice, Wang Lang's face kept distorting as he muttered to himself.
"Is this the consequence of us using the Prismatic Crystal? Now even the last level has changed."
At this moment, Wang Lang was in a semi-crazy state.
In a dense forest seven hundred miles away from Wang Lang, Qiu Jiuzhen, with a tired face, led eleven people and stood in it, also listening to the old voice rolling through the air.
Qiu Jiuzhen looked tired. She looked up at the sky and saw patches of blue sky through the dense and tall treetops. She wondered what she was thinking.
The eleven people behind her looked at the slender captain in front of them with respect. She looked like a fairy.
“I don’t know how Jiuxing is doing now. It seems like something unexpected happened at the last level. He was sent here before he even fought with Bailiyuan of the Wuliang Sect.
'No more restrictions on team fighting, the first to reach the center ball! 'That means you have to rush to the center as soon as possible, whoever arrives first will get the first place. And the fighting on the road may turn into a melee...
Will I be able to meet Jiuxing as well? Then I can go to the center with him!"
A captivating smile appeared on Qiu Jiuzhen's pretty white face.
"Baili, what is going on?"
Thousands of miles away from Gong Chenying, on an endless grassland, Gan Shi looked around and asked Baili Yuan beside him.
"How can I know that I wasn't dragged here with you!"
Baili Yuan was just withdrawing his gaze from the disciples. He felt relieved that no one was missing. Then, Baili Yuan also began to look around.
At this moment, an old voice came like thunder, and it lasted for a long time. When the voice disappeared, everyone's eyes were still confused. "Junior Brother Gan, I think the rules here have changed. I have never seen such a level in the Wheel of Life and Death in the classics."
After a few breaths, a gleam of light flashed in Baili Yuan's eyes.
"Baili, I have never heard of it either. In that case, we should just head straight to the center. I really want to meet the people from those three sects!"
There was murderous intent in Gan Shi's eyes.
"I don't know where Junior Sister Gong is? Has Junior Brother Li also entered this place?"
Baili Yuan looked at the endless grassland with worry in his eyes.
Beside a stream, a group of monsters were advancing rapidly. The leader was a thunder lion at the peak of the late second stage, who was shouting loudly.
"Kids, the first prize may include a pill that can directly advance you to the second level. Let's go straight to the center!"
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so monsters behind him roared in anger, with ferocious rage rising from each of them.
"kill!"
"Kill everyone who stands in our way!"
"Let's rush all the way!"
Things like this were happening in different places in this space, and the few remaining teams all headed straight for the center.
… …
At this moment, Gong Chenying was leading six people out of the valley. In the previous period of time, she did not act rashly, but carefully observed the movements around her.
When his spiritual sense swept across the area, he found nothing unusual except some wild animals in the bushes.
She was still walking in the front, and the six people behind her kept a certain distance from her, but the situation here was obviously not the same as in the previous passage. There were no attacks around, and there were no restrictions on their range of movement.
After walking for a distance, Gong Chenying discovered that the range of movement of people in this space was no longer restricted, and there were no prohibited attacks around.
After hesitating for a moment, she exerted her magic power and flew into the sky. During the process of rising into the air, Gong Chenying's spiritual awareness continued to expand to the surroundings, alert to any abnormal situations that might occur in the surroundings at any time.
Until she flew about a hundred feet, no attack occurred, but she saw another scene in her consciousness.
About five hundred miles away in one direction from them, a metallic ball of light that was constantly flashing stood on the top of a mountain that rose into the sky.
"The center... the sphere, it seems that is the final place to pass. As long as we reach there, we will have passed the test of the Wheel of Life and Death."
Gong Chenying made a quick judgment in her mind, and just as she was observing, suddenly, a powerful spiritual sense swept towards her, and she couldn't help but be startled.
"What a powerful spiritual consciousness, at least at the Fake Dan realm. I don't know if it's Senior Brother Baili and the others, but we must not act rashly. Otherwise, if the enemy discovers us, I will be too weak to fight in my current condition."
Gong Chenying immediately withdrew her consciousness, concealed her aura, and fell back to the ground. But at the moment of falling to the ground, she felt a palpitation that made her heart tremble.
She immediately looked around again, only to see that in the valley, on the side facing the metal sphere, wisps of black gas were slowly rising from the jungle and grass, and were getting thicker and thicker.
"Oh no! Why are there still those black shadows from the sky here?"
Gong Chenying just felt cold all over, and the heart that had just calmed down was instantly lifted up again.
There were no forbidden attacks here. After confirming the direction of the center, she planned to hide her breath all the way. Even if she had to take a detour, she would not fight with others. As long as these dozen people could enter the central sphere, it would be fine.
But who would have expected that there were unknown powerful enemies around them, especially the appearance of a deadly black shadow. The rules here did not give them much time, but forced them to move forward quickly. I think other teams should be in the same situation.
In this way, Gong Chenying would have no time to hide his whereabouts and could move forward quickly, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the probability of being exposed, and that would only lead to one killing after another.
But this result was not something Gong Chenying could control. She had no time to think. After she landed quickly on the ground, her cold voice reached the ears of Mei Bucai and the others below.
"Hurry and move towards the exit of the valley!"
When she landed, she was so anxious that she accidentally touched the wound. In an instant, a layer of sweat beads emerged from her smooth forehead.
Mei Bucai and others had been watching Gong Chenying in the air. When they saw her suddenly descending rapidly and staring at a certain direction of the valley with an unpleasant expression, they all turned their heads to look there.
Just one glance and several people were frightened to death. In the bushes dozens of feet away from them, wisps of black air were rising, like a soul-catching hand from the underworld, weaving a huge life-taking net, and quietly approaching step by step.
Hearing Gong Chenying's urgent voice, the six people dared not delay, and in a flash they rushed towards the exit of the valley. After Gong Chenying landed, he took a deep breath and rushed over immediately, but his body was erratic and he was a little slow.
At the same time, when Gong Chenying and the others were flying towards the central metal sphere, exclamations came from all directions. Obviously, they had all discovered the huge black shadow that was lingering and was slowly gathering towards them.
It is just like fishermen following the tide forming a big circle and constantly driving their prey towards the center. If you walk slowly, you will fall into the net first.
