Chapter 1074 Water Cloud Forest
Liang Yan murmured to himself, his eyes full of doubts.
When the three of them exchanged compasses, they all injected their own aura into them. As long as the compasses were activated with the techniques taught by Ji Lai, they could find the positions of the other two teammates.
But at this moment, Li Xiran's pointer kept spinning, with no sign of stopping at all.
“Is it because there are any restrictions in this forest that interfere with the compass’s judgment?”
Liang Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and after a moment he put away the compass, then left the small island in the middle of the lake and chased Ji in the direction he came from.
Half an hour later, in an open area deep in the dense forest, Liang Yan finally found Ji Lai.
When I saw him, he was sitting cross-legged and meditating. His breath was fluctuating, and he seemed to be injured.
"Brother Ji?"
Liang Yan walked out of the dense forest, looked at Ji Lai who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, and frowned slightly: "Are you injured? Who can hurt you? ?”
He had seen tricks at the top of Luoying Mountain and in the Senluo Secret Realm. This person's magical power may not be the strongest, but there are endless life-saving magic weapons. If he just escapes with all his heart, there are many people in the Golden Core Realm. It's hard for any monk to hurt him.
"I blame myself for being careless."
Ji Liang looked at Liang Yan and sighed softly: "This dense forest seems peaceful, but in fact it hides many traps. I didn't even take a step before. Shen fell into the circle of monsters. Although he finally escaped, he was seriously injured."
"Monsters?"
Liang Yanqi said: "In this forest. There are monsters? ”
"Yes, although Wushuang City is located on the human continent, it does not seem to reject the monsters. There are many monsters practicing here in this forest. Now it seems that these monsters are also one of the tests for us to pass the customs."< br>
After hearing Ji Lai's explanation, Liang Yan nodded secretly. The Buwen layman and Lingjiu Zhenjun that I met before are not human monks. From this point of view, Wushuang City does not reject the demon race, and even boldly uses the demon race as the city's disciples.
“I didn’t expect these monsters to be so powerful that even Brother Ji fell into their trap!” Liang Yan said with emotion.
"Brother Liang doesn't know something." Ji Lai shook his head and said: "Although the individual strength of the monsters in this dense forest is not particularly outstanding, they are better in groups and are good at Set up a trap. I just accidentally fell into a circle surrounded by more than a dozen monsters, otherwise I wouldn’t have been hurt.”
“A trap?”
Liang Yan looked at the injured Ji Lai with a thoughtful expression, and after a moment he asked again: "Brother Ji, what are the realms of the monsters that besieged you?"
"Most of them They all have the strength of the early stage of the Golden Core, and the three leaders are equivalent to the middle stage of the Golden Core." "That's it." Liang Yan nodded, and then said: "These monsters are really cunning. , It seems that we cannot take it lightly! By the way, the compass you gave me before, brother Ji, has something wrong with the pointer pointing at Li Xiran. He took out a palm-sized compass with two pointers on it, one of which pointed straight to the calculated position, while the other kept spinning without any intention of stopping.
Ji Lai glanced at the compass, and then said with a thoughtful look on his face: "Maybe there is a dangerous area in this dense forest that we don't know about. Fellow Daoist Li accidentally entered it, and his breath It was completely obscured, so the compass failed.”
"Then what should we do next?" Liang Yan asked again.
Ji Lai was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "I think we have no time to delay anymore. After entering the forest, I had been following the trace of the examiner, but I thought I was about to When I caught up with him, I accidentally stepped into the circle of monsters. Now I am afraid that I am very far away from the true Lord Lingjiu. We must catch up as soon as possible. As for Li Xiran, I believe that with her ability, she should be able to go smoothly even without our help. Passed.”
After listening to Ji Lai's analysis, Liang Yan did not object. He just nodded and asked with concern:
"How does Brother Ji feel now? Can he still be there?" Move on? "
" It doesn't matter, I have recovered a lot from meditation, and I can go on the road now. As long as we are careful and don't encounter any powerful monsters, we can still catch up with the examiner and reach the next examination room before the end of the examination."
Ji said and stood up from the ground, looking really not too bad.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Ji. We are already too far behind now, and we really don't have time to delay. After we catch up with the examiner and arrive at the second examination room, we will let you recover from your injuries."
"No problem, I know which direction the examiner is going. Brother Liang, just follow me."
Ji Lai chuckled, then took long steps towards the dense forest. Go deep.
Half an hour later, Liang Yan followed Ji and walked in the dense forest.
"Brother Liang, look at the feathers on the branches. They are the clues left by the True Lord Lingjiu on purpose, so that the monks who dispersed into the dense forest can find him." Ji Lai pointed to the white feathers on a branch above his head and analyzed. .
Liang Yan raised his head and looked at the feather, narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and smiled: "The spiritual energy on this feather is condensed and never disperses. It seems that the True Lord Lingjiu is not far away from here. , we are almost catching up."
"Exactly!"
Ji Lai chuckled and said, "The direction Ji is pointing is absolutely correct. As long as Brother Liang follows me, he will soon pass the first round of assessment."
As he spoke, he sped up and walked quickly towards the dense forest ahead.
However, after taking just a few steps, Ji Lai stopped again, turned his head with some confusion, and looked at Liang Yan behind him.
"Brother Liang, why don't you leave? Although True Lord Lingjiu is not far ahead, we can't delay, we must catch up as soon as possible."
" Go forward?”
The corner of Liang Yan's mouth suddenly evoked a smile, and he said lightly: "If I take another step forward, I'm afraid I will be eliminated?"
"Brother Liang, what are you saying? Meaning?”
Ji Lai's face was full of confusion and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else.
However, before he could say anything, he saw the man in gray clothes opposite him suddenly sneered, then pushed forward with one hand, and a dark golden ring cut through the sky and headed straight towards him. Come.
Ji Lai's face changed slightly, and he no longer thought about talking. He lightly tapped one foot on the spot, jumped up high, and grabbed a branch on the big tree behind him, as if swinging on a swing. Swinging toward the distance.
Bang!
A loud noise came, but it was the golden ring hitting the open space, shattering several big trees around it. At this time, Ji Lai was no longer where he was. Although he couldn't fly in Fang Huxian Valley, his movement skills were extremely agile. At this time, he was already a hundred feet away by swinging lightly on the branches of the towering giant tree.
"Brother Liang, are you crazy? You actually attacked me?" Ji Lai hung on a branch and shouted angrily.
"Hey, Brother Ji, I didn't know you would hang on the tree like a monkey?"
Liang Yan smiled coldly, glanced around, and said lightly: "Don't even think about it. Hidden. Since you want to plot against Liang, you have to show your true skills. Come on!"
As soon as he said this, "Ji Lai" hanging on the treetop suddenly laughed. The angry look before had long since disappeared. Instead, he smiled and said: "Awesome. , when did you see the flaw?”
"You don't understand the plan." Liang Yan shook his head and said: "A dozen or so Jindan realm monsters can't trap him, let alone leave any injuries on him, and"
When Liang Yan finished speaking, he glanced at "Ji Lai" hanging on the treetop again, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ji will not abandon his companions, especially this one." My companion is also a beautiful female nun!”
“It turns out that you were testing me by saying so much before!”
“Ji Lai” on the treetop grinned. The whole body was suddenly covered by a white light. After a few breaths, the white light slowly dissipated, revealing the figure inside, which turned out to be a six-armed ape!
At the same time, about half a foot in front of Liang Yan, a giant hand made of bluestone suddenly stretched out from the ground. It was surprisingly fast. It came to the top of his head in an instant and slapped him. Take a photo.
Liang Yan seemed to have expected this. When he saw the giant hand reaching out, his face was calm. With a tap of his foot, the person stepped back a hundred feet away.
Bang!
A loud noise came, but it was the giant bluestone hand that slapped on the open space, raising a large amount of dust.
Behind the dust, a tall figure could be vaguely seen.
Liang Yan retreated and stood under a big tree. Looking up, he saw a huge stone man more than ten feet tall emerging from the ground behind the dust.
On the stone man's shoulders, there is also a white-browed ape standing. Like the one who pretended to be a trick before, it also has six long arms.
The old ape looked a little stooped. He was holding a mahogany stick in one hand. He stretched out his hand to smooth the white beard under his forehead and squinted his eyes to look at Liang Yan under the stone man.
"Well, I have good observation skills, and I was able to discover Xiao Liu's flaws. It's a pity that I underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. This assessment can only stop here." The white-browed old ape sighed softly as he spoke. He showed a look of regret.
"What do you mean by this?" Liang Yan asked lightly with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged.
“It means you are going to be eliminated.”
As the white-browed old ape spoke, he lightly slapped the peach wood staff on the stone man's shoulder. A burst of salsa sounds came from the surrounding dense forest. A moment later, more than ten six-armed apes emerged from the shadows. .
"Are you also part of this assessment?" Liang Yan asked coldly.
While he was asking questions, the "Eight Divisions of Evolution" technique in his body was also running. After a while, he discovered that the aura exuded by this white-browed old ape was enough to match the monks in the late stage of the enemy's golden elixir. The six-armed apes surrounding them also have the strength from the early stage to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
“Yes, the entire Shuiyun Forest is the final venue for the first round of assessment, and the many monsters practicing in this forest are the final obstacles for you to pass this assessment.”
The white-browed old ape on the stone man's shoulder stroked his white beard and laughed: "We six-armed demon apes Proficient in the art of illusion, he is responsible for deceiving the candidates in this assessment. If any candidates cannot tell the truth from the false, they will be attracted into the trap we set in advance. Although you did not fall into the trap just now, you still fell into it. Being surrounded by us, we can only fail in this assessment.”
"That's it."
When Liang Yan heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Does being surrounded mean losing the election? I don't think this is necessarily true?"
"Why, Do you still want to break out?" The white-browed old ape sneered: "Your Excellency, you look down on our six-armed demon ape clan too much. , let alone you, even if those candidates from the late Jindan period come, they can’t break out from here!”
“Breakout?”
Liang Yan smiled half-heartedly. He shook his head and slowly said: "I think you may have made a mistake. Liang has never thought of escaping from here."
Before he finished speaking, the man had already disappeared in place. A strong wind roared in the air. The white-browed old ape on the stone man's shoulder shrank his pupils, and a flash of light shot out from his dim yellow eyes.
“Get up!”
The white-browed old ape shouted, and patted the head of the stone man next to him with one hand. The huge stone man immediately rose up from the ground, and two The moss-covered stone fist slammed somewhere in the air.
Bang!
A loud noise came, and Liang Yan's figure appeared in mid-air. He made a fist in his right hand, with a faint light flowing on it. At this time, he was touching the stone man's fists, and it seemed that Not weak at all.
"Huh?"
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the white-browed old ape. You must know that the stone man under him is not simple. He is made of thousands of years of ghost vines, evil shadow demon stones and many other precious materials. , combined with his own demonic elixir and fire, it took a full three hundred years to refine it.
In terms of pure strength, this stone man puppet is already comparable to the human race's golden elixir realm body refiner. The only drawback is that it has no intelligence and cannot adapt to changes. It can only be controlled by the white-browed old ape nearby.
But even so, this stone puppet is one of his strongest methods. He originally thought that he would be able to defeat a mere monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Unexpectedly, the opponent actually resisted the stone man's fists with one hand, which made the white-browed old ape stunned for a moment.
At this time, Liang Yan's face was calm, and the skills in his body were running silently. With the "Three Thousand Sins" method coming, the power of this punch had endless stamina, and it was like a wave of anger in the sea. A wave!
"Crack, click."
As a series of slight sounds came, fine cracks like spider webs appeared on the stone man's arms.
“Not good!”
The white-browed old ape was shocked. Only now did he realize that the strength of this monk who seemed to be only in the middle stage of the golden elixir was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface. !
However, the opponent did not give him any time to react. At this time, the golden light of his right fist flashed, and the two arms of the stone man were lowered three inches. Then he stepped lightly with one foot, and the stone was Using the force on his arm, he jumped suddenly.
When the white-browed old ape raised his head, he saw that the man had reached the top of his head, and five dark golden rings buzzed around him, blocking all his escape routes.
At the same time, the opponent's big hand suddenly grabbed forward and grabbed his neck in an instant. As a huge force poured into his body, the white-browed old ape felt dizzy and dizzy. Even his soul was almost shaken out of his body.
When his eyes were filled with stars, a man's voice came from his ears and said with a smile: "Liang never planned to break out of the encirclement. As the saying goes, capture the thief first. Capture the king first. If you want to pass this assessment, you can only suffer grievances." I am now the leader of the clan.”
