"How many people are there?" Ni Qianjun, who had not closed his eyes or drank any water for three days and three nights, raised his profound energy as his red cloak covered his burly upper body.
"We still have ten people on our side, Lan Jing has five people, Silver Scorpion has the largest number of people left, and there are still twelve people, but they are all at the end of their strength and unable to fight anymore." In just three days, they were as strong as a calf The savage, with sunken cheeks and listless spirits. The situation of the few mercenaries who survived the Backfire Mercenary Group was almost the same as that of the barbarians.
As soon as they entered the Pill Demon Tomb, under the influence of the blood mist, the cultivation base of each team member dropped a lot.
Thanks to Ni Qianjun who distributed a durian pill to each of them before departure, the mercenaries of the Ni Huo mercenary group survived these few days, but their situation is only slightly better than the other two mercenary groups That's all.
Not long after entering the swamp, Lan Jing turned around and revealed her true colors, joining forces with the Silver Scorpion mercenary group lurking in the dark to attack the Backfire mercenary group.
Fortunately, Ni Qianjun was on guard, he never trusted Lan Jing.
They retreated to the nearest ancient village. Who would have thought that Lan Jing and Yinxie had made complete preparations this time. They stayed outside the village and confronted Nihuo's gang for three days, trying to trap Ni to death. Fire Mercenaries.
These three days have been a nightmare for all mercenaries and for both attackers and defenders.
On the first day of entering the village, a change occurred. The mercenaries couldn't sleep, and even Ni Qianjun himself was flustered for no reason, often dreaming about the mysterious beasts he hunted and the enemies he wiped out in the past ten years as a mercenary.
The next day, Abu in the regiment woke up the crowd by screaming like crazy. They watched Abu mutilate himself, and finally fell to the ground and died.
Thinking of that scene, Ni Qianjun felt a tight pain in his chest.
At first, he thought that people from Yinxie and Lanjing had poisoned them, but after inquiring, he found that people from Lanjing and Yinxie also died of unknown causes.
Fear is like that blood mist, covering everyone's heart.
Mercenaries are not afraid of death, they are afraid of the unknown.
In order to avoid similar situations from happening again, Backfire's mercenaries only ate the water and food they carried with them, and never touched a sip of water in the Dan Modron. The water and food they carried with them rotted at an alarming rate. They had not eaten or drank for two days and two nights.
Some mercenaries with weak cultivation could not resist the blood mist. Some people died every day and some went crazy.
In the swamp, there are muddy poisonous bubbles all day long, and pungent poisonous gas keeps coming out. In order to resist the poisonous gas, they had to transport the only profound energy left in their bodies, and the profound energy was consumed faster than ever.
Only relying on the strong will of the mercenaries, they went step by step to the depths of the Pill Modron.
"Deputy head, shall we go back?" Manzi cried sadly. It was the first time he was so frightened after being a mercenary for so many years.
"I haven't completed the task, I can't turn back, let the spirit butterfly out," Ni Qianjun's voice was hoarse, which was the result of not drinking water for several days.
Even though he couldn't tell the direction and the swamp looked unchanged, Ni Qianjun could feel with his intuition that they had already entered the center of the Pill Modron.
He has reached this point, so many brothers have died, and turning back without gaining anything, he can't do it.
Ni Qianjun could barely estimate by relying on his biological clock that he had been trapped in the Pill Demon Tomb for almost two days. According to the agreement with Old Trout, as long as three days were within three days, no devil could be found. Crystal, he must lead people away from the Dan Modron.
Ni Qianjun didn't know that without advancing day and night, without water and food supplies, coupled with the special effect of the blood mist, his body's instincts had been blunted a lot. He didn't know that three days and three days had passed. night. Old Trout had ordered Huolongfan to leave.
Manzi took out a box and opened it carefully.
Inside the box was an ice-white butterfly, which looked like a jade carving, but when the box was opened, the butterfly's large transparent wings flapped slightly.
Different from ordinary butterflies, the head of this butterfly has only one antenna, and the top of the antenna is a round exogenous mysterious pill.
The Ice Fire Spirit Butterfly is a fifth-order mysterious beast. The female Ice Fire Spirit Butterfly's black core grows on the tentacles, like an antenna. When encountering a spirit treasure, the outer core will emit red light.
Especially when you are trapped in this kind of maze where you can't find your way, it can be used to find the exit, and the mysterious core on the tentacles will emit white light. Although this kind of female spirit butterfly can detect the direction of the treasure, it has a fatal flaw. Its lifespan is very short, and it will die after flying overnight. Therefore, the female ice fire butterfly has another name, also called Hongyan butterfly, which means beauty Hard life, life and death.
This spirit butterfly is the trump card of the Nihuo mercenary group's treasure hunt this time, and Ni Qianjun will never use it until the last moment.
The female Ice Fire Spirit Butterfly flew up lightly, like a snowflake in the blood mist.
It first flew blankly in the blood mist for a while, and suddenly, the exogenous mysterious core at the top of the tentacles directed northward, releasing a piece of precious light.
"North," Ni Qianjun leaped up, and the mercenaries all cheered up and galloped to the north.
Lingdie led the way, Ni Qianjun and others chased after him.
After a while, the swamp disappeared, and a crystalline lake covering several miles appeared in front of it.
The mercenaries all stopped, and the magnificent scenery in front of them seemed like a pair of invisible hands, grabbing their breath and making them unable to restrain themselves.
Beside the lake, there are various crystals that are shaped like flower clusters and plants. They are as tall as a person and as thick as a thumb.
"Devil crystals, all of them are devil crystals. I got rich, this time I really got rich." After several days of hardships and the deaths of the brothers, this group of mercenaries was already on the verge of collapse. He left the lake, knocked down the crystals with the weapon in his hand, and stuffed them into his pouch.
"In the middle of the lake, in the middle of the lake," Manzi pointed to the middle of the lake, where there is a crystal shaped like a stele, and it looks like a small island in the middle of the lake, hazy in the blood mist, adding a bit of beauty .
The beauty of the lake is enough to take everyone's breath away.
The barbarian rushed to the lake in desperation.
"Manzi, come back," Ni Qianjun was shocked by the beauty of the lake, but at the same time felt palpitations.
The eldest brother has repeatedly warned himself that things that are too beautiful are like women who are too beautiful, and cannot be easily contaminated.
He was alert and glanced at the ice fire spirit butterfly.
The exogenous profound core of the Ice Fire Spirit Butterfly turned into black, dead black.
"Oops,"
When Manzi stepped on the lake, the frozen lake quickly shattered, and the transparent ice quickly turned into a blood-like lake. The countless poisonous swamp bubbles were like the hands of evil spirits from hell, entangled Grab Manzi's feet and knees and drag him into the lake.
On the shore, the crystals stuffed into the luggage by the mercenaries turned into pairs of severed hands, which grabbed the bodies of the mercenaries and dragged them into the poisonous lake.
"Manzi," Ni Qianjun threw off the cloak on his body, wrapped it around Manzi's hand, stabilized his lower body, and wanted to pull Manzi ashore.
With screams and begging, Ni Qianjun could only hold on to the cloak desperately as he saw his former partners being dragged into the poisonous swamp one by one.
His feet suddenly softened, his body began to sink, and the river bank he was standing on turned into mud at some point.
"Deputy head, let go," Manzi, whose body had already sunk into the swamp, came to his senses. He saw that Ni Qianjun's body was slowly sinking into the poisonous swamp just like his own.
"Protect your nose and mouth, I'll pull you up," Ni Qianjun clenched his teeth, his bones creaked, and the blue tendons on his arms bulged.
A dazzling red light burst out from Ni Qianjun's body, temporarily stabilizing his sinking body.
Ni Qianjun freed his right hand and put a durian pill into his mouth, the profound energy slowly filled the dantian,
"Get up!" He shouted loudly, and was about to pull the barbarian out of the poisonous swamp.
"Jie Jie," harsh laughter came from the sky.
There was a gap in the dark red sky, and the gap became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a ferocious blood eye. Staring at Ni Qianjun.
The blood eyes were full of blood, when Ni Qianjun raised his eyes to see the blood eyes clearly. Xuemu blinked suddenly, and at the moment of blinking, Ni Qianjun only felt a rumble in his head, as if struck by lightning, and his head started to hurt violently.
The movement of pulling people in his hands froze immediately, and his body fell straight down like a bird with its wings broken.
Ni Qianjun managed to stand still, and the cloak in his hand snapped off.
"Manzi," there was only one word in his mind, and he rushed over and grabbed Manzi's hand.
The body couldn't stop sliding towards the poisonous swamp, and the poisonous gas from the lake surface continuously penetrated into Ni Qianjun's nose.
"Ah Feng, let go. Brother, I appreciate it. Take the Ice Fire Spirit Butterfly and run away, get out of this ghost place." Manzi was already in tears, and he was wailing, from cursing to begging.
"Brother Manzi, I'm not the big brother after all, I can't leave you behind," Ni Qianjun laughed with sincerity in his eyes.
Manzi's eyes were blurred. He still remembered that immature red-haired boy, when he joined the Backfire Mercenary Group for the first time, he smiled and called out "Brother Manzi".
"Afeng, believe in Brother Manzi, you will definitely be better than Backfire in the future, so go out alive," Manzi laughed heartily, he raised his big axe, and slashed at his arm.
In an instant, the blood splashed on Ni Qianjun's face, the orangutan's was hot.
Manzi's body immediately fell into a poisonous swamp.
"No!!" The violent cry broke the sky.
A beam of red light gushed out frantically from Ni Qianjun's body.
At that moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and all the blood mist in a radius of several miles was washed away.
"Look ahead," Yue Jinghua and Feng Buhui, who had been wandering around the swamp after leaving the ancient village, discovered the scene ahead.
Outside the Pill Modron, the man in black was suspended in mid-air, his beautiful peach eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a somewhat dangerous look.
"The light of Tianxuan, unexpectedly, that kid Ni Qianjun would break through Tianxuan in the Pill Demon Tomb. It's interesting. This is worthy of my own action." The figure of the man in black gradually disappeared into the blood mist. It's like being invisible.
