Chapter 20: The Third Floor
The next morning, when the first rays of blue sunlight shone down, Aster had already woken everyone up with a shout.
I saw her sniff towards the north, and then she leaned down and listened on the soft sand, pointed ahead, and said, "The fox is there, let's go over there and look for it." ”
After hearing this, the three of them were all a little stunned, Luo Banxia said: "Ziyuan, how do you know that the three-tailed fox is over there?" After chatting last night, the relationship between the two became closer again, and Luo Banxia also called Ziyuan by his name like Xu Lei and Sun Zhi.
Ziyuan smiled lightly and said, "I can feel its smell, it's over there, yes, let's go." At that moment, he took the wooden sword first and took off into the air, and Luo Banxia and the three of them immediately followed. Flying in the air, Sun Zhi said enviously: "Senior Sister Ziyuan, not only do you have great strength, but even your senses are so powerful, you can also smell the smell of the fox, and you have time to teach me." ”
Ziyuan replied with a smile: "I can't teach it, I don't know how I have such an ability, it should be innate." Sun Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head to complain about God's injustice. Suddenly, the four of them turned into four streamers and galloped towards the north.
Now among the four people, Ziyuan and Luo Banxia are left without ingesting the demon spirit, Ziyuan wants to find the three-tailed fox, so the three of them also accompany together, and by the way, they help Luo Banxia find a suitable demon spirit. The art of refining weapons in the Female Spirit Palace, the best in the world, if you want to refine a powerful magic weapon, the demon spirit is naturally the stronger the better, the three-tailed fox was contacted by everyone yesterday, although the combat power is not strong, but the demon spirit is unprecedentedly powerful, it should be some rare rare monsters, no wonder Ziyuan will be so obsessed with it.
During the flight, at every interval, the aster will fall to the ground, sniff the air with its nose, and then make sure it is moving forward again. Aster looks pure and feminine, but the way it smells is very similar to that of a dog, and it is a little weird and funny for a while. Luo Banxia couldn't help but laugh a little, and also helped to find it, looking around, searching for the fox's traces.
On the way, I encountered a few individual demon beasts, but the spiritual power was too weak, at this time it was almost noon, Luo Banxia thought for a while, if he hadn't found a demon spirit that suited him, he would kill a giant python on the way back as his own demon spirit, with the synergy of Aster, he should not be afraid of the threat of those snakes. Because it was quite a long way to get out of the Demon Suppression Fantasy Realm from the first floor to the other floor, they had to fight as quickly as possible.
After about a quarter of an hour or so, Ziyuan suddenly stopped on top of a sand dune, and Luo Banxia and the three of them also fell. I saw the tip of Ziyuan's nose move slightly, his eyes looked around, and he muttered in his mouth: "No, the smell just stopped here, and the fox should be here." But it's all sand, where can it hide?"
Luo Banxia looked around, and there was a long yellow sand all around, not a single vegetation, and no rocks or other shelters to hide. Immediately walked to the side of Ziyuan and said thoughtfully: "If the fox is really here, then there is only one possibility, it is hidden under this sand dune." ”
Zi Yuan's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect it, little lewd thief, you are so smart!" But then his face showed bitterness: "There are dozens of sand dunes here, and the sand is constantly flowing, how to find this." ”
Luo Banxia smiled slightly and said, "Let me come." At that moment, he took a step forward, concentrating on his calm breath, and secretly used the magic trick, and a trace of white qi rose under his feet, spreading towards the surroundings. This is the method of qi tracing that he learned from the secret method taught by Xiao Kongqing, which can spread his true power like a spider web, and if it touches a living body, the spider web will tremble slightly, and it can be used to determine the location of the target. It's just that his skills are still shallow at this time, and the range he can exert is only a hundred feet, but Rao is like this, and it is enough to find a demon beast at this time.
Sure enough, after a while, Luo Banxia only felt a shock from the qi network, and immediately jumped up and jumped towards a sand dune on the left, and said in his mouth: "Here!" His hand did not stop, and three sword qi were shot out, blasting a sand dune into the sky full of yellow sand. In the misty sight, a petite fiery red figure jumped out of lightning and fled to the side, it was the three-tailed fox.
Seeing this, Shion's body also rushed out like an arrow from the string, and at this time, she had abandoned the flying of Edgeworth, and directly switched to her legs. Her strength is strong, her body moves forward several feet with each step, and her body is the first to come, and in a blink of an eye, she is already in front of the fox's right, forming a left and right encirclement with Luo Banxia.
Sun Zhi and Xu Lei were not idle, the speed of the two of them was a little slower, and they were also following behind them at this time. The four of them formed an inverted triangle and surrounded the fox, gradually approaching.
This fox has extremely strong spiritual power, but somehow its combat power is extremely weak, and he just fled in a hurry when he met several times, and he didn't mean to collide head-on with the four of them. But it was dexterous, and its speed was not slow, and it also dodged several grasps from Luo Banxia and Ziyuan in a flash.
After a few dodges, Ziyuan screamed, the white light on her body skyrocketed, and she reached out and grabbed the three-tailed fox, at this time all the fox's retreat has been blocked, and there is no way to avoid it. Just when everyone thought that the blow would be successful, the fox had blue and red flames on its body, and its figure disappeared in an instant, and when it appeared the next moment, it was already a hundred meters away.
"Teleport, this is the Blue Flame Three-Tailed Fox!" Luo Banxia shouted. He had seen an introduction to this kind of fox in the library on the right peak, and it was born with strong spiritual power, good at hiding and dodging, and it was a monster that was very difficult to catch.
Ziyuan missed the blow, and was not discouraged, and his body accelerated and chased after the fox. Four people and one fox started a war of chasing and seeking in this desert. The terrain here is open, not like a layer of trees hidden, so the Qingyan three-tailed fox has a hard time dodging, and has almost been caught several times, but Rao is so, or escaped again and again in that teleportation.
The blue sun is in the sky, and the wind and sand are all over the sky. Everyone was chasing each other, and even the fox was out of breath. At first, Luo Banxia and the three of them thought that if they couldn't catch it, they would persuade Ziyuan to give up, but when they saw that they couldn't attack it for a long time, this more serious temperament came up, and he really didn't believe that the four of them couldn't catch a fox, so they had to work hard under their feet and chase after the sword.
As he marched all the way to the north, a rotating Yin-Yang Fish Gate appeared in front of everyone, and Luo Banxia's heart sank, this gate should be the entrance to the third floor. There is a faint mist above the gate that is different from the first and second floors, which should be the prohibition set by the Female Spirit Palace in the Demon Suppression Fantasy Realm, in order to prevent the fierce monsters on the back from escaping to the first two floors.
The three-tailed fox of the green flame ran to the gate of the Yin-Yang Fish, and without a moment's hesitation, he launched the teleportation skill again, and his body disappeared in front of the gate of the Yin-Yang Fish in a flash. Luo Banxia and the four of them stopped in front of the door, their respective division commanders had explained before they came in, they were not allowed to enter the area within the third floor, and their current cultivation was not enough to deal with the monsters inside.
Sun Zhi gasped for breath on the side, and said intermittently, "Master...... Didn't you say that these three layers of prohibition can block the coming and going of demon beasts, how can you ....... this fox still enter? ”
Luo Banxia pondered for a while and said, "It should be because the Qingyan Three-Tailed Fox is more special and has teleportation skills. ”
Zi Yuan paced back and forth in front of the Yin Yang Fish Gate, biting lightly, and his face was full of unwillingness. I almost caught it at this point, and after two days of hard work, should I return in vain? She looked at the door of the third floor, and seemed to have made up her mind, and was about to step inside, Luo Banxia's eyes were quick, and she grabbed her, and said hurriedly: "Ziyuan, what are you going to do?"
Shion turned her head and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity to be escaped by it like this, I'm not reconciled." ”
Luo Banxia comforted gently: "It's too dangerous inside, we can find another suitable demon spirit, it's not too early now, we can go all the way back, and we'll help you find it on the way." ”
Zi Yuan pouted, her face full of reluctance, and her beautiful face looked even more delicate and touching under this coquettish expression. Hearing this, he obediently retreated, and sat in front of the yin and yang fish with Luo Banxia and them to rest for a while. But suddenly, I saw Ziyuan's eyes roll, and he got up and ran when Luo Banxia was not paying attention, and he arrived in front of the gate of the Yin Yang Fish in an instant.
Luo Banxia thought that she had understood the stakes, so she relaxed her vigilance, and the hand holding her had already been released, who expected Ziyuan to come out unexpectedly, and when he reacted, Ziyuan had already stepped into the door with half a foot. A crisp laugh like a silver bell came from Ziyuan: "Haha, you don't have to worry, I'm a monster in the steel and iron bones and can't hurt me, and if the situation is not good, I'll run out immediately, this protection is against monsters and not people, I can come out at any time, I'll go in and find the fox and withdraw immediately, you go back first." After speaking, without waiting for Luo Banxia and them to speak, the other side of the body also disappeared into the yin and yang fish.
Luo Banxia scratched his head, what he was most worried about was this situation, Ziyuan This girl is not afraid of heaven and earth, since the master has explained that she can't go in, there must be a reason. Sun Zhi and Xu Lei were also a little anxious when they saw this situation, they didn't expect Ziyuan to be so bold, and they went in as soon as they said they would go in.
At that moment, Sun Zhi stepped forward and frowned, "What now?"
Luo Banxia lowered his head and thought about it, and said slowly after half a sound: "Although Ziyuan is strong in the flesh, she is simple-minded, and I don't know if there are any traps in this unknown area, I'll go in and take care of it, you two will exit and go back first, and I will take her out immediately when I find Ziyuan." ”
Xu Lei, who had always been silent, said at this time: "No, it's too dangerous inside, you can't go in alone, let's go together." ”
Sun Zhi also chimed in, "Yes, let's go in together." ”
Luo Banxia shook his head and said, "No, you can't go in." Xu Lei, you have injuries on your body, and when you encounter demon beasts, not only will you not be able to help, but you may also cause chaos, and there are many demon beasts along the way when you exit the Demon Suppression Fantasy Realm. So the best way now is for you to get out first, and I'll go find someone. ”
Sun Zhi was about to say anything more, but Luo Banxia interrupted: "Don't worry, my body method is the best among the three of us, I really can't do it and won't fight hard, if I am bent on escaping, there shouldn't be any big problems." ”
Sun Zhi and Xu Lei glanced at each other, and it seemed that it could only be like this at present. At that moment, Xu Lei patted Luo Banxia on the shoulder and said, "Then let's go out first, and you should be more careful." ”
Luo Banxia nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and entered the third-floor gate. In a flash of light, the man was gone. Sun Zhi sighed in a low voice, and helped Xu Lei to fly towards the sword in the direction he came.
