Sure enough, this time the stalagmites were not so easy to resist. The dark brown stalagmites were much more powerful than before. When they hit Ye Li's flame armor talisman, they were not completely burned by the flames, and there were still a lot of hard stones left inside.
These remaining stones poured directly onto Ye Li's Flame Armor Talisman like raindrops, and after a moment, the flame armor was smashed to pieces.
Fortunately, the armor still had some defensive power, so it blocked the impact of the stones. Even so, Ye Li still felt pain on his monster-like body, and it was probably covered with bruises.
After the attack, the stalagmites on the top of the cave grew out again immediately. This time, the stalagmites were no longer dark brown, but turned directly into inky black crystals.
The crystal stone had a faint luster under the illumination of the crystal lamp next to it.
Although Ye Li did not look up, his spiritual power had already captured these. He knew that if there was another wave of attacks, it would be very difficult for him to resist.
And looking at the current situation, God knows how many more attacks Shi Hu can launch. The power of the stalagmites is also likely to become stronger and stronger. There is no point in him fighting hard here.
After figuring it out, Ye Li activated the Wind Ring without hesitation and ran towards the front of the cave.
The stone tiger was following him relentlessly, and from time to time it could even attract the stalagmites on the top of the cave to attack him.
However, the stalagmites have now turned into the most common khaki color, no longer dark brown or black, and are much less powerful.
In addition to the stone tiger behind, there are also some traps in the underground cave from time to time, such as mud pools, or suddenly growing stalagmites and thorns.
Fortunately, Ye Lifeng's light ring is quite effective, and his extremely strong body allows him to constantly change his shape in crisis environments and avoid surrounding traps at high speed.
Ye Li didn't know how long the stone tiger behind him would chase him, but fortunately there was only one road in the underground cave, so he was not afraid of getting lost in the panic, he just had to move forward.
After running for about two incense sticks of time, the situation in front of the cave finally changed, and a cliff appeared out of nowhere in the cave.
The span of the cliff is nearly a hundred meters, and there is a ten-meter square platform in the center. From afar, Ye Li saw that the platform seemed to be built on a stone pillar rising from the bottom of the cliff.
The platform and the cliff are connected by a narrow stone bridge, and there doesn't seem to be anything unusual.
According to the map, after crossing this cliff, you can leave this area.
The current situation did not allow him to think carefully, and he could only step forward and rush to the other side of the cliff. He did not want to be entangled by the stone tiger behind him again. If the stalagmites shooting at him this time turned directly black, he believed that he would definitely not be able to escape unscathed.
When Ye Li rushed into the stone bridge, the traps on the ground completely disappeared, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
This stone bridge is only wide enough for three people. If there are a few traps, he will not be able to pass through easily.
The stone tiger behind him still showed no intention of stopping and followed him into the stone bridge.
Just as Ye Li was about to rush into the platform in the middle of the cliff, Tunri's voice suddenly appeared in Ye Li's ears.
"Be careful up there. Don't use spells once you're on the platform. Just rely on your own strength to support yourself."
Tunri said this out of the blue, leaving Ye Li with no idea what it meant.
Before he could think it through, he had already rushed onto the platform, and suddenly there was a loud bang above his head.
As Ye Li perceived with his spiritual power, the top of the cave above the platform suddenly pressed down on him. He immediately understood what Tunri meant by telling him to be careful of the sky above his head.
Just as he was about to use the talisman to attack the stone wall pressing down on his head, he suddenly remembered the second half of Tunri's words and hurriedly dispersed the half-drawn talisman in his hand.
The stone wall on the top of the cave fell down with a loud bang. Ye Li instinctively stomped his feet hard on the ground, lowered his waist and sat on the horse, raised his arms high and pushed up against the falling stone wall.
Under normal circumstances, he knew that he would not be able to hold up this stone wall that was as big as the platform. Even if he possessed the strength of a demon beast in the middle stage of the Spirit Mist period, he would not be able to withstand the impact of a huge rock weighing thousands of pounds.
However, relying on his trust in Tunri, since the other party told him not to release the talisman and just use his physical strength to support himself, he did as he was told.
The huge rock fell on his hands with a loud bang. Ye Li only felt a huge pressure that wanted to press him to the ground. All the joints in his body made a series of "cracking" sounds because of this force.
"ah… !"
With a roar, Ye Li's eyes widened and his muscles tensed up like steel bars. His legs were like two pillars, supporting his body under the heavy pressure and preventing him from being crushed to the ground by the stone wall.
Ye Li's face turned red, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't dare to relax even a little bit of his muscles, holding up tightly against the mountain wall that was falling from above his head.
"Yes, that's right. The Five Elements Divine Turtle told me that this test will never exceed your maximum strength. As long as you hold on for the first time, it will be fine.
This mountain wall cannot be broken, and your spell is not suitable for supporting it, so I told you to just use your body to hold it up."
Tunri's voice sounded again, his tone was calm, and there seemed to be nothing worth worrying about.
After Ye Li completely held up the pressing cave ceiling, he finally had time to pay attention to the stone tiger that was tracking him. However, he didn't know when the stone tiger had disappeared.
Fortunately, he didn't have to be attacked from both sides. Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief and said in a voice transmission: "Senior Tunri, what kind of test is this? Is it a test of our endurance?"
Tunri shook his head and said, “This is the final test in the Earth Trial Field. It is not the endurance of your body that is being tested, but the endurance of your heart.
You don't have the two rows of talisman roots of gold and earth, so it will be difficult for you to pass if you rely on talismans. However, if you rely on your body to support the cave ceiling and accept the psychological test, it will be much easier.
As the saying goes, the earth is kind and generous, supporting all things. Even the heaviness of the mountains cannot crush the earth.
Now this test is to put critical pressure on you to the limit of your ability, and what you have to do is to be like the earth and withstand the pressure of the mountain wall above your head with unyielding perseverance.
When a person is under extreme pressure, it is easy for him to retreat and collapse, even if the pressure does not really exceed his endurance limit.
What really caused him to collapse was his own heart. When faced with external pressure, his heart was not as solid and heavy as the earth.
You have to understand that external strength can only allow you to defeat opponents who are weaker than you. Only inner strength can allow you to defeat opponents who are stronger than you. "
