The fourth floor of the Tongtian Tower is actually more difficult than the previous three floors, and not even a little bit higher.
At the first level, as long as you find the rules and techniques, it is quite easy to pass the level. The second level, the dream test, has little to do with strength. As long as the mental flaw is not too big, you can actually pass it smoothly. As for the third level, although the combat intensity will be very high, it is just pure combat.
But on this fourth floor, the huge maze alone would be enough to confuse most people. At the same time, the monsters lurking throughout the maze are also a great threat to those who enter.
If under normal circumstances, a group of people entering this underground maze would most likely face a situation where they would become separated due to various accidents. So what do you do after you get separated? Should we look for the lost person, and how should we look for him? How does a person deal with the dangers in the maze after being separated from the team
It can be said that without cheating, this underground maze is still quite challenging, and it tests people from all aspects.
And if Ye Zan uses cheating to pass the test, he will naturally not go through those tests, and these people will not be able to gain anything from the tests. Again, there are gains and losses in this world. Nothing is perfect. The price of passing the test so easily and quickly is to give up an excellent opportunity for experience.
Standing in front of the altar leading to the fifth floor, everyone sighed for a moment at how easy it was to pass, and then prepared to leave through the whirlpool of light.
However, at this moment, Ye Zan suddenly stopped and said to everyone: "You go over first, I want to stay and deal with some things."
As soon as Ye Zan said these words, everyone was confused. Some people may even maliciously speculate that Ye Zan has discovered some benefits and wants to stay and devour them all! In other words, is there some danger on the fifth floor and someone needs to explore the way and be used as cannon fodder
"Brother Ye, did you find something?" Of course Lin Mumu didn't think so, but he was also very puzzled by Ye Zan's words.
Ye Zan nodded, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I won't hide it from you, the demonic people are catching up."
"What!" Everyone was shocked.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, how did you know this news?" Zhang Qian asked in shock.
Ye Zan did not answer, but only stretched out a finger, and there was an electronic fly crawling on the fingertip.
Of course, others didn't know it was an electronic fly, they only knew it was Ye Zan's "gu". However, when they saw the "gu worm", everyone immediately understood. Ye Zan was able to lead everyone through the test so easily and quickly with that "gu insect", and he was naturally able to detect the arrival of the demonic people.
"How come the devil's man came so fast! That Jizhen is not easy to deal with. Is it possible that the new Jizhen has not condensed? Or do they also have a subordinate?" Although they knew that Ye Zan would not deceive them, everyone still It seems a little unbelievable.
"But why do fellow Daoist Ye want to stay? Since we are one step ahead of them, we should quickly enter the fifth floor and try to pass the fifth floor as quickly as possible." Shi Yingjie also asked in confusion. .
Ye Zan shook his head and said to everyone: "How long do you think we can keep them here with the difficulty of this level?"
"Well, it was only under the leadership of Fellow Daoist Ye that we arrived here so quickly. Based on what we have seen along the way, without the guidance of Fellow Daoist Ye, I am afraid that even if I waited for ten days and a half, I might not be able to do it. Come here." Shi Yingjie recalled saying.
Although, along the way, under the leadership of Ye Zan, they almost went straight to the exit, with almost no pauses on the way. But they can also feel the intricacies of the cave, and they don't know where the forks will lead people.
Therefore, Shi Yingjie's statement is not an exaggeration at all, and is even a bit taken for granted. You must know that there are still a large number of monsters hidden in this underground maze. Even if you know that some roads are correct, you may not be able to pass them smoothly.
However, after listening to Shi Yingjie's words, Ye Zan shook his head again and said, "But, what if I say that they also have methods similar to mine?"
"Hiss!" After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasped.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid they will be able to catch up with us soon." Lin Miaomiao said lightly, turning her eyes to Ye Zan, and then said: "So, if you want to stay and hold them back, Give us more opportunities?"
"Not bad." Ye Zan nodded.
In fact, Ye Zan is not that great. All he wanted was to stay and use the terrain here to cause some trouble for the demonic people. After all, no one knows what kind of test the fifth level is. If the two sides have the opportunity to face off without restrictions, then his side will definitely be unlucky.
"No, Brother Ye, you can't stay alone. I'll stay with you too." Lin Mumu said loyally.
The other people have actually been persuaded by Ye Zan and are about to agree to say that they and others will go first. However, as soon as Lin Mumu said this, everyone was embarrassed to speak.
"Okay, let's not argue about this. It's useless for any of you to stay. Who knows this place better than me." Ye Zan said with a smile.
"But!" Lin Mumu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Logically speaking, what Ye Zan said is correct, and everyone knows it very well. But logically speaking, it is unacceptable to leave Ye Zan here alone to deal with those demonic people.
However, when everyone was hesitating, Ye Zan showed a strange look on his face and said to everyone: "Don't worry, although I stay alone, I am not the only one who deals with the demonic people. "
"How do you say this, Fellow Daoist Ye?" Zhang Qian and others asked curiously.
"Just now, people from the Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry Association came." Ye Zan said without any concealment.
However, after hearing the news, everyone did not give up their concerns.
"Taoist Palace and Freemasonry? Those few people, didn't they still speak for that demonic person at the beginning? They are obviously very wary of us. Besides, how can they, the golden elixir masters, help you? What?" Lin Mumu said disdainfully.
When they were on the second floor, they wanted to get rid of the demonic man, but they were stopped by several people from the Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry. Therefore, Lin Mumu was quite unhappy with those people. They didn't know that not long after they entered the third level, those few people had already died in the hands of the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect, and they died so hard that they didn't even have time to regret.
Ye Zan shook his head and said, "It's not those few people. It's led by Cheng Liangqi and Qiao Ronghua. They must have changed their minds after those people from the Demonic Path entered the tower and wanted to come and find out what was going on."
"It's them!"
When they heard that Cheng Liangqi and Qiao Ronghua were leading the team, everyone gave up their worries. At least Cheng Liangqi and Qiao Ronghua were both serious Yuan Ying ancestors and had dealt with them.
"Okay, don't waste time. You go in first. Maybe I will catch up with you soon." Ye Zan urged everyone.
"What about this Fellow Daoist Ye? Let him stay and help you." Lin Miaomiao pointed to Ye Xiao next to her.
"No, just let him follow you. If there is any problem, there will be someone who can handle it. Moreover, with him by your side, if the fifth floor becomes a complicated space again, I can move faster." Join you." Ye Zan rejected Lin Miaomiao's suggestion and gave his own reasons.
So, after Ye Zan's persuasion, everyone finally jumped into the whirlpool of light.
Soon, Ye Zan was the only one left at the altar. Ye Zan used the electronic fly monitoring to check the dynamics of the Demon Dao group and the Dao Palace and Freemasonry group.
Needless to say, the people from the Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry were completely confused after coming in, and they didn't dare to move around while standing where they were. As for the Mo Dao group, as Ye Zan said, they were obviously well prepared for this underground maze.
Although the Mo Dao group did not have such means as Ye Zan, one of them held a lit incense in his hand.
That incense is magical. The smoke emitted is condensed and not dispersed, and it floats in a specific direction. Of course, the incense did not simply point in the direction of the exit, otherwise it would be impossible to take them there.
Judging from the actions of the Mo Dao group, the incense was not locked in one direction, but was like an intelligent navigation that seemed to be able to know the correct route and then guide them towards the exit.
If they can destroy that incense, I wonder if they have any other options! Ye Zan couldn't help but think to himself.
However, Ye Zan just thinks about it now, the other party has several Yuan Ying ancestors. He is not so arrogant that he does not take the ancestor of Nascent Soul into consideration.
Although it is said that Ye Zan still has a big killer weapon like a nuclear bomb, and he just killed a Nascent Soul Ancestor before. However, in this place, he would not dare to throw nuclear bombs randomly, which might cause big trouble.
However, since Ye Zan insisted on staying, it was impossible for Ye Zan to do nothing. Although his strength is a bit insignificant compared to the Mo Dao group. However, this kind of thing is just like fighting, it also depends on the time, location, and people.
In terms of "humanity", there is nothing to talk about. Even if Ye Zan adds those from the Dao Palace and the Freemasonry, he may not be able to compete with the Demon Dao group. However, Ye Zan is one step ahead of the opponent. By knowing the opponent's movements in time, this can be regarded as taking advantage of the "good timing".
What's more important is this "convenient location". For Ye Zan, this huge underground maze can already be called his home field. Although the other party has such a magical incense, how can it compare with his understanding of the maze.
So, how to deal with the demonic group and delay their passage through this level? Ye Zan will not go head-to-head with them, but plans to use his mastery of this maze to cause some trouble for the Demon Dao group.
Although Ye Zan seemed to have a smooth journey when he brought everyone here, in fact, even if he knew the right way, others might not be able to make it. There is also a timing issue here. Some passages will be hidden as the magma river rises and falls, and will only appear for a short time.
This may sound like nothing, but for such a complicated maze, it can sometimes be quite fatal. For example, there are two caves, one high and one low, in the same direction. The lower one is the correct way, but it turns out to be hidden by the magma. Then, without knowing the truth, people are likely to choose the cave at a higher place, and the result may be very different.
Ye Zan had this idea in mind, especially since the group of people who knew the magic way only relied on a piece of incense to guide the direction, which made it easier for them to fall into the trap.
With the help of the auxiliary chip, Ye Zan already had many plans in his mind almost instantly. Either let the demonic group of people circle around, or lead them into a place where monsters and beasts gather. In short, each one is more insidious than the last.
After selecting some plans, Ye Zan didn't waste any time and immediately set off back to the passage he came from.
A moment later, Ye Zan had already arrived in front of the Demon Dao people and quickly hid the entrance of the cave from which he came out. For him, to hide those caves, of course, it's not just about using the rise and fall of the magma river.
After cleaning up the cave entrance, Ye Zan immediately turned around and entered the cave next to him, and then began to transform the maze according to the plan in his mind. There is no need to worry about how he will go back. In fact, there is not only one route to the exit of these countless caves. It's just that the route Ye Zan led everyone to take was the shortest and safest of all routes.
Besides, under the guidance of the incense, the group of demonic people quickly arrived at the place where Ye Zan first arranged it. In this direction, there were originally two cave entrances, but the other one had been hidden by Ye Zan. These people from the Demonic Path saw that the direction was correct, and there was only one entrance to the cave, so they naturally took the side road without any doubt.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I feel like something is wrong with this." After walking a long distance, the green-robed Yuan Ying ancestor said with some suspicion.
"You've never been here before, so how do you know we're going the wrong way? Don't pay attention to fellow Taoist Li, let's just keep walking. The caves here are inherently complicated, and we can't get out by walking in one direction all the time." The green-robed Nascent Soul Ancestor said nonchalantly, but invisibly helped Ye Zan.
"Well, yes, this guiding incense was given by the master himself, so it must be correct." The man wrapped in the cloak also said with a hoarse voice.
"Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it." The green-robed Nascent Soul Ancestor said helplessly. In fact, he did think too much, but he just made a mistake, so he did not stick to his opinion.
At this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and they came to a relatively spacious cave. The bottom of this cave is completely a pool of magma, with gurgling magma bubbles. Fortunately, they are all monks, and ordinary people would have nowhere to stay.
Seeing that the direction pointed by Lu Xiang was on the other side of the cave, these people immediately raised their swords and flew out of the passage towards the other side of the cave.
However, just as everyone flew over the magma pool, suddenly the magma below started rolling violently. Immediately afterwards, red figures shot up into the air from under the magma and rushed towards the crowd.
"What is this! Fire dragon lizard?"
Everyone was immediately startled, and immediately used various means to block the figures that were coming towards them. The demon beasts that jumped out from the lava looked like giant red lizards, but they all had short, bald horns on their heads.
This fire dragon lizard has a dragon character in its name, so it is conceivable that it also has a trace of dragon blood. However, their little bit of dragon blood cannot be compared with the sons of true dragons. Ye Zan was able to pass here without attracting these fire dragon lizards, thanks to the power of the dragon under the bully.
And it was precisely because Ye Zan discovered this that he attracted everyone from the Demonic Way.
For the demonic people, these fire dragon lizards don't have such a good temper. Although they only have a trace of dragon blood, it is because of this trace of dragon blood that they have extremely powerful strength.
Moreover, you must know that this place has existed for at least ten thousand years, so among the fire dragon lizards here, there are also old monsters who have lived for thousands of years.
Monsters generally have one characteristic, that is, the longer they live, the stronger they become.
However, because there is no heavenly tribulation here, no matter how long they live, they will not be able to truly activate their spiritual wisdom, let alone transform into a great demon.
But even so, the Earth Fire Dragon Lizard here is enough to make everyone in the Demon Dao suffer some hardships.
These fire dragon lizards had a strong sense of territory and didn't care that the demonic people were just passing by. They jumped out of the magma pool one after another and surrounded the demonic people in the blink of an eye.
Originally, if there was enough space here, the Demon Dao people would not have to be afraid of these fire dragon lizards as long as they flew higher. After all, the dragon blood of these earth fire dragon lizards did not give them the ability to fly. They could only raise their necks and watch the demonic people pass by.
The problem is that although the terrain here is relatively spacious, the height is not very high. Even if the Demon Dao people stick to the roof of the cave, they will still be attacked by the leaping fire dragon lizards.
What's more, since the Earth Fire Dragon Lizard is a monster, it can naturally cast its innate spells. I saw a few fire dragon lizards. They raised their front paws and slapped the magma. Suddenly, streams of magma were like fountains, shooting towards the demonic people.
"If these beasts don't have something important to do, I will skin them and dismantle them!" The green-robed Nascent Soul Ancestor said angrily, while blocking the spray of magma with his hand.
And everyone else also used their own methods, some used magic formulas to cast spells, and some used magic weapons. No one was interested in fighting, and while resisting the attack of the Fire Dragon Lizard, they flew quickly towards the other side of the cave.
However, at this moment, the magma pool seemed to explode suddenly, and countless flying arrows formed by magma were like an inverted rainstorm, attacking the demonic people from bottom to top. Immediately afterwards, an even larger Earth Fire Dragon Lizard emerged from the magma pool. The body of the Earth Fire Dragon Lizard is dozens of meters long, and it seems that it can swallow all the demonic people in one bite.
"Roar!"
The giant fire dragon lizard roared, and the entire cave trembled.
At this moment, everyone in the Demonic Path had to stop, because the giant Earth Fire Dragon Lizard was blocking their way.
"It seems that if we don't show some tricks, I'm afraid we won't be able to get through easily." The ancestor of Nascent Soul in green robe said in a deep voice.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's fight quickly!" The green-robed Nascent Soul Ancestor said this. He raised his hand and offered a green bead. There was no change, and he smashed it towards the giant Earth Fire Dragon Lizard.
"boom!"
In an instant, the green bead had already hit the giant fire dragon lizard, and immediately burst into a ball of green fire.
"Fellow Taoist, you are a bit stingy with your quick victory. Do you want to kill that fire dragon lizard with just one phosphorus fire bomb?" The ancestor of Nascent Soul in green robe said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.
The phosphorus fire bomb is a disposable magical weapon commonly used by some people in the magic world, just like the grenades used in the technological world. Therefore, the ancestor of Yuanying in Qingpao laughed at the other party for refusing to spend money. After all, the phosphorus fire bomb was too common for them.
"Hmph, let's talk after you've seen it!" the green-robed Yuan Ying Ancestor said with a cold snort.
At this time, looking over there, the giant fire dragon lizard's body was completely wrapped in green fire, and it immediately started struggling violently.
The fire dragon lizard was originally in the magma pool, but the magma could not extinguish the green fire. Instead, as it struggled, the green fire continued to splash and spread around. Many fire dragon lizards were touched by the green fire and immediately became like this, with their whole bodies wrapped in green fire and struggling.
"What a shame, you wasted one of my Netherworld Flame Bullets." The green-robed Nascent Soul Ancestor said with a bit of heartache in his tone, but he also specifically announced the name of his magical weapon.
Sure enough, when the green-robed Nascent Soul Ancestor heard this, he suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and said in shock: "What, this... this magical weapon, if it was not refined by a Taoist friend using the Netherworld Blue Flame?"
"Yes, it is Netherworld Cangyan." The green-robed Nascent Soul Ancestor nodded, but did not say anything more, showing an enigmatic look.
"I heard that the Hundred Ghost Sect's Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Immortal Formation will produce some netherworld blue flames every time it operates, which is indeed very rare." The man wrapped in the cloak said in a hoarse voice.
"It makes me laugh, fellow Daoist Li. Compared with the White Bone Sect, our Hundred Ghost Sect can still handle this little thing." said the green-robed Yuan Ying Patriarch.
And while several people were talking, looking at the magma pool below, it was completely covered in green fire. The fire dragon lizards also stopped struggling and floated on the magma one by one, continuing to be burned by the green fire. (To be continued.)
