Chapter 620: Core Place (Please vote for me)
After leaving the temple garden, another long passage appeared in front of the five people from Zhou Qing.
But this passage is different from the one when we first came in. It is very wide. The most important thing is that the entire passage is filled with flames, burning, heat waves are blowing against our faces, and the temperature is extremely high.
The flames are like fire snakes, constantly swallowing and swallowing. They are not ordinary fires.
"Fire Road."
Shi Yi directly revealed the details of this way.
“We have to pass through this flame road. The ubiquitous flames are our biggest obstacle, and there are also fire spirits in the flame road.”
“Such an environment... Can we only resist hard?"
"Yes, we can only resist the erosion of flames in the flame path. The treasures we just took away from the garden will also cause the restrictions in the flame path to become more powerful, and then the power of the flames inside will rise."
Zhou Qing looked at the flame path and said, "Then. It seems that the time has come to test our defense methods and our own foundation.”
Although it was only the first time he encountered this flame path, after knowing how to pass it, Zhou Qing understood what the requirements of this level were.
Whether there are high-level defensive Taoist martial arts or powerful artifacts to support the path to the flames.
The most important thing is undoubtedly to see whether the person who breaks into this place has deep real energy/soul power and whether he can withstand such digestion.
If the foundation is loose and the foundation is shallow, no matter how good the magic tools are, it won’t work.
Murong Yanran said: "The treasures we took from the garden are not many, so the power of this flame path will not be greatly improved."
"Yes."
Shi Yi nodded, "With the strength of the five of us, there should be no problem passing through the Flame Road."
That is indeed the case.
The five people entered the flame path and used true energy/soul power to protect their bodies. They were not in a hurry to use other methods first, but first felt the intensity of the flame path.
“Fortunately, at least the power of these flames is not very strong now.”
Zhou Qing said: "It's a pity. These are the flames triggered by the flame road ban..."
Others know Zhou Qing and know what he means by pity. After all, the practice of Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Seal is Demand is no secret.
If the source of all the flames in this flame path was a different fire from heaven and earth, then Zhou Qing would have made a lot of money, but unfortunately not.
This kind of flame that appears through the restriction and transformation of the energy of heaven and earth is actually just a changed form of the energy of heaven and earth.
It does not contain the flame origin needed for the Earth Fire Seal.
If Zhou Qing has been in such an environment all year round, it will definitely be of great help to him to practice the Earth Fire Seal independently.
But the question is, how could he stay here forever? That would be asking for death.
"It is indeed a pity."
Shi Yi said: "Actually, the Flame Road is a level that all practitioners who explore the Hades Temple are not willing to encounter."
“Oh? Why is this?”
"Because this place is dangerous and very poor." Shi Yi said with a smile:
"There will be some treasures growing in the gray fog place, but there is nothing in the Flame Road except flames."
“The only benefit you can get is that after killing the fire spirit, you will A kind of fire bead is dropped, which contains relatively abundant and pure fire attribute power."
Lu Yuanyuan echoed, "That is indeed poor enough."
The flame road is very quiet. There would be some movement when meeting the fire spirit, but it would soon subside.
As everyone said before entering the Flame Road, this place is indeed nothing to them.
When we reach the last section of the flame road, the pressure is indeed there, but it is definitely not fatal.
Exploring a place like this at Zhou Qing’s level, if it is still full of dangers and repeatedly reaches desperate situations...
Those who enter the Hades Temple will at least die out of a hundred. Ninety-five.
With such a terrifying mortality rate, who would dare to explore this place? The Hades Temple will not be the treasure that everyone pursues, but will turn to death after hearing it.
What kind of strength should naturally be what kind of performance.
Finally, the five people walked out of the flame road. The feeling of shuttle appeared again, and the fiery red world disappeared.
Another square-like environment appeared in front of Zhou Qing and the others.
On the ground paved with black metal, there is a high platform about ten feet high in each of the five directions of the square. The metal platforms on the four sides are layered in distinct layers.
In the center of the square, in the middle of the five high platforms, there is an altar, and there is also a golden humanoid statue on the altar.
Although the statue was in human form, it had a pair of wings that looked like they were made of gold, and it had a gold-like armor on its body.
There are not ten fingers on both palms, but ten gold-cast objects that are like knives, sharp and sharp, and the toes have the same structure.
In addition, the statue’s elbows and knees are fitted with curved blades.
The head of the statue does not have a normal human face. The eyes are closed tightly and there is a gap between the eyebrows, as if there is a third eye.
Two curved horns grow on the top of the head, sharp and reaching the sky.
On the edge of the square, there are stone pillars standing. Above each stone pillar is a fire swaying, providing light and illuminating the square.
"What is this place?"
Shi Yi carefully observed every detail here, and finally shook his head.
“I don’t know either, I’ve never heard of it.”
He, a local snake in Minggu County, also came to an area that he was not familiar with.
This is definitely not a good thing for Zhou Qing and others.
The role of intelligence is great, and the help that Shi Yi's intelligence from the previous levels has brought to them is obvious.
Now that they have lost this advantage, it is a bit uncomfortable.
However, Shi Yi thought about it and gave some information.
“This may be the deepest part of the temple. Many areas within the temple overlap, but only the core of the temple does not overlap with other temples.”
"I have indeed never seen the information here, so it must be the core place."
Shi Yi didn't say anything, after all, no one dared to say that he had figured out all the information about the Hades Temple.
Hearing Shi Yi's words, Zhou Qing's heart moved. He walked to the nearest high platform and found that there was a pattern of a black turtle on it.
Look at the other four high platforms, which are the patterns of real dragons and phoenixes, and white tigers and golden armors.
Based on the tips given by [Seeking Good Luck and Avoiding Disaster], Zhou Qing was basically certain that this should be the core of the temple.
The opportunity for land quality should be here.
But what is it...
Zhou Qing's eyes wandered, and finally fell on the statue of the central altar.
Is it related to this thing?
“What do these five patterns mean? What do they represent?”
Others also discovered the Gaotai animal paintings, but unfortunately they were unable to explain them.
Zhou Qing walked under the golden statue and looked up.
This statue looks normal and lifeless.
Ao Xuanwei walked up to him and said:
"Is this a puppet? Or is it just a statue for worship?"
"I don't know."
"Why is there nothing here?"
Lu Yuanyuan shouted: "On these stone pillars on the edge, there is only lamp oil burning, and nothing else. The lamp oil is also burning." No problem. ”
They have carefully searched every place here, except for the things that can be seen directly in front of them, it is really clean.
It’s very inexplicable.
"Is there any problem with these patterns?"
"I have some phoenix blood here. I don't know if it can cause a reaction on this high platform."
Zhou Qing tried it, but unfortunately it didn't work. No changes are made.
Although this was expected by Zhou Qing, he was still a little disappointed.
From the tips of [Seeking good luck and avoiding evil], you can also directly find the five beasts such as the real dragon here. The blood of the five beasts is actually just a substitute.
And Ao Xuanwei is a true dragon, but she has also been to the True Dragon Platform after coming here, but it did not cause any changes. The blood has no effect, which is reasonable.
The blood of these five beasts should work at a critical moment, and this time is obviously not a critical moment.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Qing made a suggestion.
"Would you like to try attacking this statue?"
Since there is no movement, take the initiative to create changes.
"Attack the statue..."
Others also looked at the golden statue. Doing so might cause some unpredictable risks, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be no better way.
But at this time, there was movement on the right, and then three people appeared out of thin air.
Someone is here again, and Zhou Qing and the others still know each other.
It was Midu, the Holy Son of the Yuchi Holy Mountain of the Yeti Clan, and the two people from the Snow Mountain Sect.
Midu also immediately looked at a few people, his eyes flashed, and then he laughed.
“Several fellow Taoists, we meet again.”
“Fellow Taoist Midu.”
The three of them from Midu came over and looked around at the same time. environment.
“This place looks weird. I wonder how long have these fellow Taoists been here?”
"It hasn't been long since we arrived."
Zhou Qing replied: "It's a pity that I didn't find anything. Apart from the things that can be seen, there is nothing else here."
"Don't say that. There are no treasures, and there are no monsters.”
“This should be the core area of the temple.”
Mido also made a similar judgment, and after observation, he couldn’t find anything. Something wrong. The core area of the Hades Temple was confusing at first, and nothing was discovered, but it was a relatively normal thing. Many things needed to meet certain conditions before they would be triggered.
There are many such examples, and Midu can understand it.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the five people from Xuanduguan have taken away the benefits of this place after they came in first.
Now I am just pretending here, pretending to be confused.
Mi Du looked at Zhou Qing and the others vaguely, thinking that this possibility was unlikely.
Generally speaking, if the core treasure of the Hades Temple is taken away, the exit of the temple will also appear.
At this moment, the square is indeed peaceful.
“What do you think, fellow Taoist Midu?”
Midu looked at the golden statue in the middle and said:
“Maybe the problem still lies with this statue. ”
"We think so too."
"Try it together?"
"Okay."
After making the decision, both parties attacked the statue at the same time.
The qi machine raged and roared, but when all the glory dissipated, the statue remained motionless and did not suffer any damage.
In its performance, a layer of golden light emerged, blocking all attacks and making them unable to touch the statue.
Midu took a closer look at the golden light, divine patterns flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head.
"No, this is a very strong restriction. We cannot break it with our strength. Even if a venerable person who has been refined three times comes, there is no hope unless it disperses on its own."
"However, it can be seen from this prohibition that there is indeed a problem with the statue."
"That is to say." Shi Yi said:
"What conditions must most likely be met before subsequent changes will occur."
"What conditions will it be..."
A few people fell into deep thought.
At this moment, everyone is relatively harmonious. After all, there is nothing to fight for. At this time, conflict and fighting are meaningless.
The next step of changes in the core of the temple is the key.
But unfortunately, after searching this square, there is still nothing.
A rather embarrassing thing happened. The eight people from Zhou Qing could not trigger the hidden conditions in this core place. After looking at each other, they had to wait quietly.
“In a core place with hidden conditions like this, there are generally three common hidden conditions summarized by our ancestors.”
Shi Yi communicated with Zhou Qing and the others in private.
“It may be the number of people. Changes will only occur after a certain number of people arrive here.”
"It's also possible that a token is needed. In the level in front of this temple, there may be a token that opens the core place, but we didn't get it, but it was in the hands of others."
"If that's the case. , then you need to wait for the person holding the token to arrive, and the person who owns the token will There will be a certain advantage here."
"There is another possibility..."
Shi Yi glanced at the statue and said, "That is blood sacrifice."
"It needs to be done. Life is a sacrifice to open up this place and bring about the final change.”
Zhou Qing was slightly shocked, blood sacrifice?
"I hope the hidden condition is not a blood sacrifice."
"Wait for now, wait until more people come here and see."
Midu San People probably think the same way.
Time passed, and someone appeared here again. No, this time it was a beast.
A tiger with ice-blue fur all over its body appeared in the square. Its gaze was full of majesty as it glanced across the square. It really had the power of the King of Beasts.
This is a beast.
“Venerable Bingquan.”
Midu spoke on the other side and greeted the beast master.
“So it’s him, I’ve heard the name of this beast master.”
Shi Yi said in a voice message: "It is a barbaric beast from Minggu County who has occupied a treasured ice spring land to practice. Like the two-headed dog, he also has the strength of the second level of true blood."
"Outside world Is this the beast master that comes in?”
The competition is really fierce, there is another beast master at the second level.
The Bingquan Beast Master glanced at everyone present, and then explored the square by himself. After finding nothing, he walked straight to the White Tiger Platform and lay down.
It had already seen something from the behavior of Zhou Qing and Midu, and knew that it should start waiting.
Next, people came to the square one after another.
The two-headed dog native to the Minggu Mountain, and Qingyang, a disciple of the Northern Saint Sect whom Zhou Qing and the others met in Baizu Small Market, and his party.
A Yin Shen Venerable of the human race, who is also in the realm of Yin and Shen transformation, is called Nafeng Venerable, and there are several other teams led by the Venerable.
A total of nine people gathered here, but there was still no change in the square.
Such a situation has made some people very impatient and want to have a fit, but unfortunately they can't find a partner.
Until a certain moment, another person appeared in the square, but the situation of the person who appeared this time was a bit special. There were two people, one behind the other. The person in front was covered in blood, and the person behind was holding a Buddhist rosary with his face There was a gentle smile on his face.
“Save me!”
The man covered in blood shouted.
Such a picture made everyone look over. Is this... a pursuit?
“No one can save you.”
The young man holding the bead stepped towards him, but the man who was being hunted actually chose to flee to Zhou Qing and the others.
“Fellow Taoist of Xuandu Temple, this man is fierce, please save my life, I will thank you deeply!”
But before he could get close, Zhou Qing took action. , stopped this person.
Inexplicably, no one knows you, so you come over and try to drag them into the water.
“Fellow Taoist Murong, we meet again.”
The young man holding the bead said gently: "Can you hand this person over to me?"
"Save me, I will give you all the treasures on my body."
The man covered in blood begged. : "Aren't you disciples of Xuandu Temple? He committed a murder in front of you, shouldn't you care?"
Zhou Qing frowned slightly, and he was engaging in moral kidnapping?
Don’t you know that I am sometimes immoral?
"Fellow Daoist Li."
Murong Yanran asked: "What happened?"
The young man holding the pearl replied: "A few thieves want to ambush me and steal my treasure. , and then this happened."
There was laughter in the distance, and a venerable man said:
"You are really brave to dare to kill a secular Buddha."
After hearing this, Zhou Qing suddenly knew who the young man holding the bead was.
Li Yuan, sixth on the Dragon List of Hanzhou, is known as a lay Buddhist. He is one of the few Buddhist practitioners in Hanzhou since the destruction of Dali Jingang Temple.
The top three on the Dragon Ranking are occupied by the top three in Xuandu. The fourth and fifth are the geniuses of the Snow Tribe and the Barbarian Tribe. They are purely here to show their presence.
This lay Buddha Li Yuan is actually the fourth genius among the Hanzhou people. He is extremely powerful, even more powerful than Murong Yanran.
Murong Yanran, the sixth true successor, is ranked tenth on the Hanzhou Dragon Ranking.
When Zhou Qing and the others came to the Minggu Temple, they did not see this person, so he must have arrived later.
It’s no wonder that with this person’s strength, he came to the core at this time.
The bloody man said: "If you hadn't changed your appearance, why would we have done anything to you?!"
These words made people shake their heads.
I went to ambush others because I coveted treasures, but now I blame others. It’s really...
Difficult to comment.
Typical thinking aside from the facts, you are not wrong.
“Fellow Daoist Li, please excuse me.”
Murong Yanran didn’t want to pay any attention to him.
Buddha Li Yuan nodded, reached out with one hand, and pinched the man directly from the air. He had no power to resist.
But Li Yuan did not kill him immediately. He looked at the place and finally his eyes fell on the golden statue.
"Fellow Taoists must have been waiting here for a long time, but still got nothing, so there must be something missing."
The lay Buddha smiled and threw the person in his hand to the golden statue.
“Since I’ve been waiting for a long time, let me give it a try.”
“Bang!”
The man's body exploded directly, and blood mist filled the sky, and then sprinkled towards the golden statue.
Under the gaze of everyone, the blood mist fell directly on the golden statue, completely unblocked by the unbreakable layer of golden light.
"Buzz!"
A trembling sound sounded, and the golden statue turned into blood in an instant. A force of energy started to weaken and then grew stronger in an instant.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that the hidden conditions... were met.
But the next moment, everyone's expressions changed.
The aura of the golden...bloody statue is still growing, reaching a terrifying level.
This seems to be an enemy that cannot be fought against!
