In the maze.
Jiang Yuebai used a knife to rummage through a pile of bronze scraps and found two boxes. His eyes lit up and he picked up the boxes and opened them.
"Fire crystal and Huiyuan Pill, one more? That's it? Why are you throwing all this garbage into the maze?"
Jiang Yuebai smelled the pills and felt that they were expired. He took out the Five Elements Lotus Platform and threw the two things in, refining them into the Five Elements essence.
"Lian Tai, Lian Tai, you have eaten so much garbage. When will you be able to produce the origin of the five elements and give birth to a small world?"
The bronze puppet beasts here have no intelligence or awareness and can only identify enemies by sight. Although their strength is roughly in the late foundation building stage, they are still easy to deal with as long as you avoid their sight.
Jiang Yuebai was just about to collect the fragments of the bronze puppet beast to refine on the lotus platform when the fragments suddenly vibrated and were sucked onto the bronze wall and disappeared into it.
"Is this... recycled?"
After a while, Jiang Yuebai indeed heard the faint sound of assembly coming from behind the wall.
Jiang Yuebai's face fell, "Isn't this just being a hooligan?"
He used all his strength to chop the wall. The blade created a string of sparks on the bronze wall, leaving only a faint knife mark on the wall.
"My Lord Insect King, please bear with me."
The Ice Beetle King flew out from the cold jade pendant and stuck to the bronze wall. With it as the center, the wall was quickly frozen.
Jiang Yuebai moved his wrist, the shadow of a black python wrapped around his arm, and he shouted and punched.
Buzz!
The huge recoil caused Jiang Yuebai to fly and hit the wall behind him. Only the ice shell on the wall in front of him was broken, while the bronze wall was intact.
"It seems that breaking the wall to open a path won't work. Let's just find a way."
Jiang Yuebai summoned the Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades to protect his body and chose a direction to gallop.
The maze was huge and the passages were deep. All the bronze puppet beasts encountered along the way were killed by Jiang Yuebai, and only some low-level talismans, ores and expired pills were found.
However, after she killed the bronze puppet beast, she immediately collected all the fragments and refined them. After that, the number of bronze puppet beasts she encountered decreased significantly.
After running for half an hour, they still found themselves in a passage with no end in sight. It was quiet and empty, making Jiang Yuebai feel very depressed.
After running for a while, the wind blew up the dust, and the dull sound was heard again, and the bronze wall flipped and moved.
Jiang Yuebai stood there and saw that the road ahead was blocked, and a road appeared on each side.
"Call the soldiers and generals. Whoever you call will be the general! This way!"
After careful consideration, Jiang Yuebai walked into the passage on the right. After walking only a dozen steps, he heard the sound of a mechanism on the wall behind him, and dense spears stabbed out from the wall rapidly, heading straight for Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai's thought moved, and the Shadow Moon Blade shot out like lightning, hitting the spear with a crisp sound.
The spear was not broken, and the Shadow Moon Blade was repelled back.
Click!
The huge bronze walls on both sides began to squeeze inward, and the spears stabbed out faster and faster.
“I’m going to die!”
Jiang Yuebai cursed inwardly, broke through the air and stepped into the clouds, fleeing.
However, after a dozen breaths, there was only a passage in the middle of the wall that was wide enough for one person. With spears intertwined behind him, Jiang Yuebai dodged through the air and was stuck between the walls, unable to move.
The huge squeezing force made the bones in Jiang Yuebai's arms make a sound of being unable to bear the weight, and a spear suddenly stabbed out.
Jiang Yuebai tilted her head back and the spear brushed past her throat, leaving a white mark on her neck.
Seeing that he was about to be squeezed into a pulp, Jiang Yuebai gritted his teeth and injected all his spiritual energy into the feather scale armor.
Break through the air!
boom!
The wall slammed shut, dust filled the sky, and Jiang Yuebai crashed heavily onto a stone platform. An exquisite bronze square box fell from above her head and happened to be held in her arms.
“Ahem!”
The dust gradually dispersed. Jiang Yuebai sat leaning against the stone platform holding the bronze square box. He saw two cultivators, a man and a woman, in the late stage of foundation building, standing on both sides, with swords drawn. There were traces of fighting all around.
It was obvious that the male cultivator dressed in the clothes of a disciple from a noble family and the female cultivator who looked like a casual cultivator were fighting for the bronze square box on the stone platform, but were interrupted by Jiang Yuebai who suddenly appeared.
"This is... a misunderstanding!"
Before he could finish his words, two spells were cast at Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yue rolled his eyes, turned over to avoid, and threw out the Ningguang Mirror directly.
Instant talisman: Ice Chi Sword!
With a dragon roar, the black ice Chilong rushed out from the Ningguang Mirror with great momentum.
The two cultivators were stunned. They didn't expect Jiang Yuebai to use such a powerful move at first. Before they could even make any move, they were swallowed up by the Black Ice Chilong and disappeared on the spot.
Phew! How dangerous!
Jiang Yuebai climbed up from the ground holding the bronze square box, with the Ningguang Mirror suspended in the air. She held the talisman Bingchi Sword between her fingers and activated it calmly.
This is an intersection with four different passages around it, but just like before, there is only dust and huge bronze walls, and no special markings can be found.
Jiang Yuebai placed the Ningguang mirror in his lapel as a heart-protecting mirror, and then he picked up the bronze square box to check.
"I deliberately placed it on the stone platform. It can't be an expired pill again, right?"
Jiang Yuebai carefully opened the box, his pupils trembling slightly.
"Isn't this the Soul-Sweeping Stone?"
When she was practicing the "Soul-Generating Thought Method" before, the Soul-Shaking Stone in her hand was only enough to separate out a divine thought. Later, whenever she went to a place, she would look for the Soul-Shaking Stone or something similar, but she found nothing.
I didn’t expect to find the Soul-Stirring Stone here. What a surprise!
"It seems a little small. I need another piece to split another divine thought. Then I can do three things at once: practice, study, and refine pills. Wouldn't that make me three times more efficient?"
Jiang Yuebai's whole body brightened up instantly, and he reached out to take out the Soul-Shaking Stone.
At this moment, a powerful suction force came from under the Soul-Stirring Stone. Jiang Yuebai opened his eyes in horror and was pulled into the bronze square box.
Jiang Yuebai felt the same dizziness as when he entered the maze, and was thrown heavily to the ground again, holding the Soul-Stirring Stone tightly in his hand.
"grassland?"
Jiang Yuebai stood up by holding his shoulders. Everywhere he looked was entangled vines, forming a huge and solid vine wall.
The ground was overgrown with weeds and there was no sign of anyone walking on it.
Jiang Yuebai looked up and saw an endless canopy of banyan trees above him, with millions of vines hanging down, taking root and forming the walls of a vine maze.
"Could this be a forest of one tree, a maze of trees made up of one tree? How big would that tree be?"
This area was still not included in the part of the maze map that she knew. Jiang Yuebai felt that she was extremely unlucky.
Pushing aside the weeds and walking forward, the ground was covered with vines thicker than wrists, crisscrossing each other.
The road was winding and the view was blocked by weeds taller than people. Jiang Yuebai took out the Shafeng Blade and slashed out a ray of evil fire.
The weeds burst into flames, and rustling sounds reached my ears. The surrounding vines and green leaves seemed to be able to sense the pain and began to tremble.
Bang!
A vine broke out from the wall and lashed at Jiang Yuebai fiercely!
Jiang Yuebai turned around and swung his knife, and more vines shot out from above and under his feet to attack him.
The fire ring spread out, the flames turned into armor, Jiang Yuebai spun around with two Shafeng swords in his hands, slashing out waves of fire that burned the vine wall.
Broken vines were everywhere, and the vines on the walls kept twisting, suppressing the evil fire in an instant.
The vines are endless and have a certain resistance to the Earth Evil Fire. If this continues, it will only consume one's own spiritual energy.
"Xiaolu, burn it for me!"
Xiaolu rushed out from between Jiang Yuebai's eyebrows and rushed forward first. The evil fire on both sides of the lantern flew violently, burning a world of flames.
Jiang Yuebai, wearing flaming armor, cut off the vines around his body and immediately fled along the path burned by Xiaolu.
Not long after running, Jiang Yuebai saw countless vines tightly entangled the small lantern, unable to move.
[Help]
The vines flew and entwined, forming an airtight sphere that kept shrinking and squeezing inwards. Jiang Yuebai had no way to escape.
The little Ganoderma lucidum on his head trembled, and Jiang Yuebai's spirit flashed.
"You're not going to give me a chance to live, are you? Fine, let's see who has the last laugh!"
Jiang Yuebai took off the jade hairpin on her head and shook her black hair apart. Two small Ganoderma lucidum flowers on top of her head were shining with a bright white light.
Without the hindrance of the hairpin hiding the Ganoderma lucidum, she can give full play to her potential!
Bang!
Jiang Yuebai clasped his palms together, and his ten fingers flew. The four leaf hands in his sea of consciousness danced at the same time. Streams of air with unique rhythm spread out from Jiang Yuebai's body.
plunder!
The air stagnated, and the next moment, powerful suction burst out from Jiang Yuebai's palms and eyebrows at the same time. It was as if there were two black holes on her body, madly sucking the essence of all the plants and trees around her and injecting it into the small Ganoderma lucidum.
