Half a month later, Han Changming and others appeared outside a long and narrow canyon. On both sides of the valley were steep stone walls, which were bumpy and severely weathered.
Lei Hong's face was solemn, and he held a piece of green animal skin in his hand.
"We have to pass through this restriction. This restriction is relatively less dangerous, but it should not be underestimated."
Lei Hong pointed at the canyon and said with a serious expression.
Li Xiao released hundreds of red spirit bees, which flew into the valley.
Ten feet, twenty feet, fifty feet... After flying a hundred feet, a large, thin silver light fell from the sky, and the red spirit bee's body was torn into pieces as if it had hit a sharp blade.
The other red spirit bees fled everywhere, but it was of no use. Large pieces of thin silver light fell from the sky like sharp blades, killing all the red spirit bees.
After killing all the spirit bees, the slender silver light disappeared.
Han Changming's face darkened. There actually was such a restriction.
"This should be the Yin Yuan Mie Ling Ban, which is a bit like a mechanical technique. There is no sign, and it is hard to guard against. This kind of ban can only be resisted by treasures. The ban has entered a weak period, and its power is definitely not as strong as before, but we can't be careless."
Ye Xin explained that she had looked up a lot of books on formations, which came in handy.
Lei Hong nodded and said, "Mrs. Han is right. We can't underestimate it."
Fang Qingxue raised her right hand, and a small umbrella shining with white light flew out. There was a white lotus pattern on the umbrella, and it was full of amazing spiritual energy. It was obviously a defensive spiritual treasure.
She made a spell and the small white umbrella began to spin. Countless runes appeared on the umbrella, and a large white light dropped down, covering them.
Her magic spell changed, and the white umbrella flew towards the valley. After flying a hundred feet, thin silver lights emerged from the void again and hit the white umbrella. There was a muffled sound, and the white umbrella was safe and sound.
Li Xiao released a second-level monkey puppet beast, let it hold a small white umbrella, and walked into the valley.
The monkey puppet beast walked out of the canyon, and the white umbrella was safe and sound. Han Changming and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even so, they did not dare to be careless and divided into two groups. Han Debiao and others followed Fang Qingxue into the canyon first. After safely passing through the canyon, Fang Qingxue returned to pick up Fang Yufei and others.
In less than a cup of tea, they successfully crossed the canyon. In front of them was a vast wasteland with a large number of gray stones scattered on the ground.
Although he had been here once, Lei Hong did not dare to be careless.
He controlled two second-level puppet beasts and walked towards the wasteland, twenty feet, fifty feet, a hundred feet...
After the puppet beast walked out three hundred feet, ripples appeared in the void, and suddenly green wind blades appeared. Each wind blade was several meters long, and there were hundreds of them in total.
With the sound of "swooshing" breaking through the air, hundreds of dense green wind blades flew out in an instant, chopping the two second-level puppet beasts into scrap metal like cutting melons and vegetables.
Dense green wind blades struck the ground, causing it to crack, dust flew, and huge pits appeared.
"The restrictions here should not be limited to this!"
Han Debiao wondered, if that was the case, he could get through this place with a set of defensive magic weapons, and there would be no need for defensive magic weapons at all.
"There is a space crack here. I borrowed a set of magic weapons that can detect the existence of space cracks."
Fang Yufei said in a deep voice.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators each took out three small mirrors shining with silver light and entered a spell. The surfaces of the three small silver mirrors lit up and each emitted a silver glow that hit the void.
They could clearly see some gray cracks in some places, faintly visible.
They tried it several times and confirmed that there was nothing wrong before they felt relieved.
Five second-level puppet beasts walked in front, and three groups protected Fang Yufei and moved forward slowly, but the speed was not fast.
Three Nascent Soul cultivators walked in front, the small silver mirrors in their hands probing in the three directions of left, right and center. Along the way, they could see many space cracks. Fortunately, these space cracks were fixed.
Han Changming did not dare to be careless. He activated his golden eyes and looked around.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they went deep into the wasteland and lived in peace. Not far away on the ground were three human skeletons, two storage rings with dim light, and a green shield half buried in the soil.
There was a faint space crack in the void near the three corpses. It was estimated that they died under the restriction.
When Liu Guang saw the two storage rings, he was immediately overjoyed. These were the property of a dead person, and it would be a waste not to take them.
He grabbed into the void with one hand, and two storage rings flew towards him.
"Be careful, get down quickly, this is a moving space crack."
Han Changming suddenly shouted and pulled Han Debiao and Ye Xin to hide aside.
Lei Hong reacted quickly, and suddenly appeared beside Han Changming.
The monks were slightly stunned as the tier 32 puppet beast suddenly broke into pieces. The cuts were extremely smooth, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade.
The other monks were startled and quickly moved away. Under Han Changming's command, the monks gathered around him.
"Friend Han, can you find the moving space cracks?"
Lei Hong was surprised. If Han Changming hadn't reminded them, they would have been able to react and avoid it once the puppet beast was destroyed, but they didn't know the direction in which the space crack would move.
Fang Yufei's face was filled with shock. She had spent a huge amount of money to borrow a set of magic weapons from the Song family that could detect space cracks. However, when the space crack moved over just now, the magic weapons did not detect it.
Song Yufeng had said in advance that he couldn't guarantee that this set of treasures would be effective, otherwise the Song family would have sent people into Jiuyang Mountain to take the treasure.
Han Changming nodded and asked, "Fellow Daoist Hong, why didn't you say there was a moving space crack?"
"When I came here last time, there was indeed no moving space crack, or maybe someone triggered other restrictions, causing a chain reaction. Madam Han is a formation master, what do you think?"
Lei Hong guessed that Jiuyang Mountain had existed for many years, and no one dared to say that they understood the restrictions inside 100%, otherwise they would have gone in alone to take the treasure.
"As Fellow Daoist Lei said, it is possible that someone triggered the restriction and triggered a chain reaction, or that the restriction of Jiuyang Mountain has changed. This is also expected. If the restriction remains unchanged, no matter how powerful it is, it will not be able to stop the treasure-hunting monks."
Ye Xin analyzed that many forbidden areas have rotating restrictions, and the restrictions will be rotated every once in a while. Some forbidden areas require certain conditions to be met, such as touching a certain restriction, which will trigger other restrictions. This is normal at ordinary times. In this way, even if you have been to the forbidden area many times, it is difficult to take away all the treasures of the forbidden area. After all, the restrictions are changing.
Han Changming nodded and said, "Let's speed up and leave this damn place as soon as possible!"
"Friend Han, please lead the way! We will follow your instructions."
Fang Yufei said solemnly that after what happened just now, they were all frightened, so it would be better to let Han Changming lead the way.
Han Changming nodded, activated his golden eyes, and walked in front.
"Pupil technique! No wonder!"
Lei Hong and others suddenly realized that pupil technique is a special secret technique. Different spiritual pupils have different magical powers. Some pupil techniques are attached to the exercises, and some are acquired through cultivation. Relatively speaking, spiritual pupils acquired through cultivation are more difficult. As the realm increases, the difficulty of cultivation increases accordingly.
Fang Yufei's eyes flashed with surprise. The Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance also collected a method of practicing pupil techniques, but unfortunately, it required a certain spiritual body to practice it.
Han Changming and Ye Xin walked in front, and three Nascent Soul cultivators walked behind them, using the small silver mirrors in their hands to observe their surroundings.
Along the way, the small silver mirror discovered many space cracks, but these space cracks were static, with only a few moving space cracks occasionally. Fortunately, Han Changming discovered them early and directed them to avoid them.
More than four hours later, they passed through the wasteland and saw a dense black bamboo forest in front of them. There was no end in sight. A breeze blew past.
Han Changming's face was a little pale. It consumed a lot of mana to activate the Golden Eye True Pupil. Fortunately, he had entered the late Nascent Soul stage and had plenty of mana.
"There should be no moving space cracks here, otherwise the bamboo forest would not grow so well."
Han Changming breathed a sigh of relief, sat down cross-legged, and took pills to restore his magic power.
The restrictions here cannot be underestimated. Han Changming dare not be careless and must maintain sufficient magic power.
Lei Hong and others used various methods to check the situation in the bamboo forest.
After a cup of tea, Han Changming stood up and his magic power returned to its peak.
"Friend Lei, after passing through these two restrictions, how many restrictions are left?"
Han Changming asked Lei Hong.
"There are two more, which are relatively safer. As long as the defense of the magic weapon is strong enough, you can pass through them. The only tricky part is that you have to pass through the lair of an ancient beast. This monster is immune to the attacks of lightning magic. My attacks are of little use to it. It's up to you to kill this monster."
Lei Hong's tone became much more polite. In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. Han Changming has mastered a pupil technique that can detect moving space cracks, otherwise they would have died long ago.
"Ancient beast, Brother Lei, what are the characteristics of this beast?"
Han Debiao wondered, the thing that could make Lei Hong feel difficult was definitely not as simple as being immune to lightning-attributed Taoist attacks.
"This beast has a self-healing body. Unless it is crushed to dust, it will slowly recover."
Lei Hong's voice was heavy as he finished speaking.
"A self-healing body would be a great help if we could subdue this beast."
Fang Yufei said with some interest.
"It's almost impossible. This ancient beast is at least three thousand years old. It's difficult to make it recognize its master. It's better to kill it! To avoid more trouble."
Lei Hong rejected Fang Yufei's proposal. It was not very likely to tame the monster halfway. The higher the level and age of the monster, the lower the chance of being tamed.
"Yes, our main goal is the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus. Let's get it first."
Fang Yufei nodded. Their main purpose was the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus, and the other things were secondary medicines.
"Let's go! Let's get on the road! I hope we can get the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus and leave here soon."
Li Xiao urged, and the group dispersed, protecting Fang Yufei and walking towards the bamboo forest.
Before long, they disappeared into the bamboo forest.
······
A huge valley with many passages. The stones on the ground were all red and the temperature was frighteningly high. Three disciples of Xuanyin Sect were engulfed in raging flames. The spiritual light on their bodies increased greatly. They tried to put out the flames, but it was useless.
Deafening roars were heard from the sky, and dozens of thick red lightning bolts streaked across the sky and struck them.
Accompanied by two miserable screams, three disciples of Xuanyin Sect fell one after another. One of them had a bloody hole in his head and died first.
The corpse was enveloped by flames and burned to ashes.
Lin Xuan and more than ten others stood outside the valley. Their faces looked ugly and their eyes were full of fear.
"What's going on? Didn't they say there are no restrictions here?"
Song Lei's eyes were gloomy as he looked at a young woman in a black dress with a hot body.
"Disciple... I don't know. According to the intelligence, there was indeed no restriction when I came in last time. Could it be that the restriction has changed?"
The young woman in the black dress said uncertainly, looking flustered.
"Uncle Song, if that's the case, our route map may not work. There may be restrictions all along the way."
"How about we change the route? But this way, there will be more unknowns."
Song Lei's face was uncertain. After pondering for a while, he said, "Forget it, continue to follow the original route. If something similar happens again, change the route immediately. Everyone be careful."
All the monks agreed in unison, and Lin Xuan frowned.
If I change the route, will I run into Han Changming
······
In a hidden cave, three Nascent Soul cultivators, two men and one woman, were besieging a giant red tiger about ten feet tall. The tiger had a pair of green fleshy wings on its back and its eyes were fierce.
There are a dozen small red grasses growing in the corner, with round leaves.
There were constant rumbling sounds of explosions. The giant red tiger was no match for the three Nascent Soul cultivators. In less than half a minute, the giant red tiger was covered in wounds and bleeding, and its bones were vaguely visible.
The giant red tiger sensed something was wrong, opened its bloody mouth, and spewed out an extremely thick red flame, heading straight towards them.
An old man in a green robe with a hunchback changed his spell, and a green shield glowed brightly, blocking in front of him.
The red flames hit the green shield and instantly turned into billowing flames that engulfed the shield, with heat waves rising into the sky.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the giant red tiger flapped its wings fiercely and flew out of the cave.
At this moment, a large amount of white cold air suddenly emerged from the ground and the stone walls, and the cave froze at an alarming speed. The giant red tiger was shocked and angry, and a large area of red flames surged from its body surface, but it still could not stop the fate of being frozen.
"Oh no, it's a ban, run..."
The old man in green robe was horrified, and before he could finish his words, his body began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With three muffled sounds, their bodies exploded, and three mini Yuanyings each held a magical weapon that was shining brightly. As soon as they appeared, they and the magic weapons were frozen and frozen in mid-air.
In less than five breaths, the entire cave was filled with ice and turned into a glacier.
······
Almost at the same time, the restrictions in many places in Jiuyang Mountain suddenly changed, which caused great trouble to the treasure-hunting monks. Many monks died under the restrictions that appeared inexplicably.
As for why the ban changed, they didn't know.
