Chapter 9: The Center of the Labyrinth
Shen Yuan barely hesitated for half a minute, and after the thrust on the Tibetan monk's hand was eliminated by his strong physique, he directly twisted his body, and the two fingers of his left hand were fiercely inserted into the eyes of the Tibetan monk.
At the same time, a pitch-black leopard shadow silently pounced on the back of the Tibetan monk, and the ten-point sharp cold light still looked cold and ruthless in the dim firelight.
The Tibetan monk who was caught in the flank subconsciously wanted to put his hands in front of him to resist Shen Yuan's attack, but he never thought that the air around him would become as tough and sticky as kraft candy at some point, and it seemed to turn into two pools of swamps that could not be seen, which greatly affected the speed of his hands.
So the Tibetan monk could only watch Shen Yuan's fingers expand rapidly in front of his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
A shadow of despair loomed over the Tibetan monk's heart.
He never thought that an ordinary person who was regarded as a pig and sheep by himself would become an even more powerful person than himself in the blink of an eye!
Syllable!
A crisp sound came out, and Shen Yuan's two fingers were inserted into the Tibetan monk's eye sockets without hindrance, and the scorching flames suddenly erupted from his fingertips, and two pillars of fire pierced through the Tibetan monk's brain and skull, and erupted from the back of the Tibetan monk's head!
A smell of burnt green smoke and the strange smell of animal organs being roasted wafted out along with the two pillars of fire, making the scene in the narrow labyrinth look extremely bloody and eerie.
The ten sharp claws of the black panther also fell on the back of the Tibetan monk at this time, and seeing that Shen Yuan had already killed him, he did not continue to tear the corpse, but put the claws into the meat pad and stepped on the ground lightly and skillfully.
The two pillars of fire that erupted from the back of the Tibetan monk's head did not disappear into fire elements, but quickly condensed inward, and almost instantaneously turned into two condensed fire needles, continuing to stab forward.
Bite!
Two fire needles collided with a hideous alloy steel claw, and sparks flew everywhere!
There was a muffled grunt in the air, and a body fell out from behind the fire needle.
It was the shadow dancer of the White Dragon City, and this person had already been behind Shen Yuan and the others at some point, and when he saw the sudden change, he directly attacked and killed.
"Hmph, good means! Understood!" The shadow dancer tapped his toes on the ground, and his body flew backwards like a weightless feather more than ten meters away, and his body was once again hidden in the air, so that Shen Yuan and Cheng Ruan could not catch the slightest abnormality.
Cheng Ruan's heart trembled, and he secretly said that it was dangerous. She was not aware of the existence of this shadow dancer at all, and finally knew why Shen Yuan did not agree to her suggestion to attack and kill the two Tibetan monks just now. If it weren't for Shen Yuan's quick reaction and many means, the alloy steel claw that suddenly came from behind the two of them just now would have fallen on Cheng Ruan's body at this time......
The Tibetan monk who was walking in front with the stone compass condensed by Shen Yuan casually was cut off his neck by the wind blade shot from the back of his head without any suspense, and a bald head rolled to the ground, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Shen Yuan with incomparable resentment, and his lips recited a strange incantation between opening and closing with the last trace of strength.
The hot blood rose from the broken neck of the Tibetan monk, wrapped around the air into a symbol, and fell on Shen Yuan in an instant.
Shen Yuan's complexion changed, and the fire element light on his body surged, wanting to use the power of the fire element to dispel this inexplicable symbol, but the last move of this Tibetan monk on his death still made Shen Yuan fall into the way.
The moment the symbol fell on Shen Yuan's body, it melted into his skin, entangled with the blood in his body, and no longer separated from each other, if Shen Yuan wanted to expel it, it would take a lot of effort.
Cheng Ruan exclaimed, "What is this?"
Shen Yuan tried a few more times, but he had to put the blood mark aside first, and said with a calm face: "It's a marking sacrifice technique, it's just difficult, and it's not lethal......"
"Marking the Sacrifice Technique?" Cheng Ruan frowned and asked, "So those Tibetan monks will notice you?"
"Hmm...... In this way, if you run into them again, you will have to make a move. Let's go, it's been too long to get here. ”
The two of them couldn't sense where the White Dragon City Shadow Dancer who had appeared for a short time was at this moment, but they both knew in their hearts that this ghostly powerhouse must be near them.
After running into the maze for more than ten minutes, Shen Yuan's shared vision from Qiu Hong in his spiritual power finally saw his destination.
The heart of the labyrinth.
Shen Yuan and Cheng Ruan hid behind a stone wall and carefully watched the area ahead.
The central area of this labyrinth is not small, like a flat square, and there are more than a dozen passages around it, and it seems that the correct passages from all directions eventually converge in this area.
In the middle of the square, there is a two-meter-long and wide square low platform, on which floats a pale cyan long sword, the long sword is transparent, surrounded by cyan mist in the middle, and does not contact with the stone platform below, as if it is a fairy above the world.
The sword looked to be carved out of cyan hedron as a whole, and there was no sharp blade on the edge, as if it was more of a work of art than a weapon.
What made Shen Yuan secretly shocked was that there were many people in this square at this time.
It was already very surprising for Shen Yuan that the three Tibetan monks could appear here, but opposite the Tibetan monks, there were enough people from the six scientific expedition teams standing in the square, with a vague look of worry and helplessness in their eyes.
Shen Yuan and Cheng Ruan didn't waste too much time all the way, with the help of Qiu Hong's doppelganger and Cheng Ruan's wisdom to get here so quickly, these scientific expedition team members are all ordinary people, how could they pass through this extremely complicated labyrinth and avoid the sacrificial traps in the passage?
At this time, a sturdy young man standing at the front of the six members of the scientific expedition team opened his mouth and asked: "What do you want? At the beginning, we said that you entered it as the escort of the scientific expedition team, and everything you obtained needed to be handed over to the Red Empire through our scientific expedition team, have you forgotten? There is a formal contract between us!"
This man Shen Yuan vaguely had some impressions, it seemed that he was one of the members of the scientific expedition team who had just turned regular, and he was silent on weekdays and had little communication with Shen Yuan.
The leader of the three Tibetan monks was holding a small fiery red hammer in his hand at this time, and the flame light on it rose, condensing into a bright energy stream, launching waves of impact towards the mist holding the cyan long sword, but the strange thing was that Shen Yuan did not capture any elemental fluctuations, it seemed that all the energy fluctuations were confined to that area, and there was no spillover.
The leader of the Tibetan monks seemed to be engrossed in the fiery red hammer in his hand, ignoring the man's questioning, while the remaining two Tibetan monks glanced at each other, and one of them replied: "Don't move, what we are doing now is very important! As long as you don't mess around, our contract is still valid, you can also take this long sword with you, we are just cracking the formation in this labyrinth so that we can get out of here quickly." ”
