Three hundred and four, burned by fire

The bearded old man quickly removed his palm from Summer's head, and he had finished confirming. Knowing that what Summer said was not a lie, the expression on his face softened.

"Alas......" with a long sigh, the long-bearded old man shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that kid to die!" It hurt Lao Tzu to think that he was not keeping his promises, and he was angry here for so many years. ”

By this time, the summer had regained her freedom of movement, and she did not feel any discomfort. There doesn't seem to be anything missing in his head, although he is still a little scared in his heart, but on the surface, he still looks well-behaved. Blinking his eyes, he echoed, "yes, yes, I won't lie to my father." ”

"Hmm." The long-bearded old man looked at Summer, nodded and said, "Very good, since you are here, then the father and daughter will pay the debt." It's up to you to replace your father and fulfill my life's wish! ”

"Huh?" Summer was startled, waved his hands and said, "Grandpa, don't be joking. You're so powerful, why do you need my help? ”

"Alas...... You don't know! The long-bearded old man sighed lightly and said, "A long, long time ago, my deity fell here, and only a trace of soul obsession remained......"

It turned out that the old man's name was Black Eagle, and it was said that in order to obtain the inheritance of the Tongtian Sect Master, he came here to try to break through the eighteen-story entrance. At that time, this place was full of crises, and although his cultivation was amazing, he still fell in distress.

As a result, although the physical body was destroyed, the soul survived and became a soul body. I didn't expect this state to ignore all the traps here, and easily break through the levels.

However, there are gains and losses, although he can easily break the level, he can't get any rewards, and he can't get the inheritance of the Tongtian Sect Master. And I can't leave this place, I can only wander here all the time.

Perhaps in order to pass the boring time, he continued to cultivate in the state of his soul body, while making a mess of the various levels of test levels. Not only does it make the rules of TongguΓ² look like a brain teaser, but it also breaks the traps of the original ubiquitous mechanism.

"Actually, my requirements are not high, I just want someone to get the inheritance of the Tongtian Sect Master, but it has been haunted in my heart for many years!" The long-bearded old man paused, looked at Xia Xia and said, "Your father has already promised me back then, so you must also promise me!" ”

Summer has been listening to the old man's words, and the mood has gradually changed from the initial worry to surprise. Although she didn't understand how powerful the inheritance of the Tongtian Sect Master was, she could guess that it must be quite a great old immortal when she looked at the world around her.

Besides, the danger here has been cracked, so wouldn't you be able to clear the level lightly? How can such a great good thing be turned away?

After thinking about many thoughts for a while, Summer took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and said, "Since my father promised you, then I can also promise to help you fulfill your wish." ”

"Hahaha, good, good! You come with me, and I will lead you through this labyrinth. The bearded old man's face was full of joy, and his body floated, leading the way in front of him.

Naturally, Summer hurriedly followed.

Along the way, Summer asked the long-bearded old man questions from time to time, and soon figured out something. For example, the first level of the exam is because this old man left a back door in the exam rules, otherwise it would not be so light in the summer.

Not only have all the traps in this second layer been closed, but even some of the monsters that were originally wandering in the maze and waiting for an opportunity to attack the intruders have also been cleared. Otherwise, I would have to face the attack of youkai here at any time in the summer, and I'm afraid that my life would have been left behind.

And this labyrinth has also been slightly altered, according to the old man himself, as long as you encounter a fork in the road along the way, turn left, and you can get out of this labyrinth in less than three days. It's just that there is no concept of time here, so I don't know if summer is really what it says.

As for the question of the test items above the third layer in the summer, the long-bearded old man did not say it. It's just that I'll know when the time comes, so there's no need to say more now.

When she stopped to rest on the way, the long-bearded old man would also guide her in some simple cultivation** in the summer, so that she gradually adapted to her own strength.

Sure enough, I turned all the way to the left, and I don't know how long, and finally when I turned the last left turn, a huge arched stone door appeared in the distance of the straight passage.

"From here, you can walk all the way to the exit, and you just need to walk through the stone gate to clear customs. But ......" The long-bearded old man twisted his long beard in his hand, and his brow furrowed.

"Grandpa, I will definitely help you if I promise." Summer said.

If she had been a little wrong before, now she really wanted to help the bearded old man. Through this period of contact, she felt that although this old man was quite mysterious, he was not malicious, and even very kind.

"It's not a problem, but I'm worried that when you accept the reward for clearing the level, you may not be able to hold on because of the pain, and the effect of the reward will be greatly reduced. Back then, your father couldn't stand it, and as a result, he couldn't receive the full reward, otherwise he wouldn't have died so lightly. The bearded old man said.

"Pain?" Summer is very curious.

"Yes, it hurts, probably the same as when you had a headache in the past. Can you take it? The bearded old man asked.

He looked through the memories of Summer, and naturally knew that Summer had been tormented by strange diseases since he was a child, and every time he got sick, he would be in pain.

Summer was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at the old man, nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I will definitely be able to persevere!" ”

"Good! Be ambitious! The bearded old man nodded approvingly.

As he spoke, he had come to the arched stone door, which was just an arched door frame with a layer of white light like a curtain of water.

"Pass it and you'll clear it." The long-bearded old man said yes and floated over first.

Summer took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and rushed out the door.

Breaking through the layer of white light to the outside of the labyrinth, Summer felt that his eyes were bright, and he suddenly found that his vision was much wider, and as far as the eye could see, there was a vast lawn.

"Your energy is a fire attribute, you must choose that red gemstone. Just reach out and touch the beam it emitts, and you'll automatically get a reward for clearing the level. The long-bearded old man hovered to one side, pointing to the five gems floating ten meters in front of him.

These five gemstones have five colors: silver, red, gold, blue, and white, corresponding to the five energy attributes of wind, fire, thunder, electricity, and ice. Each one is oval in shape and exactly the same size. Suspended three meters in the air, each one emitted a beam of corresponding color and landed on the ground.

Summer walked forward slowly and stopped in front of the red beam. She took a few deep breaths, calmed her mood with some excitement, and stretched out her right hand to slowly touch the beam.

"Boom!"

The moment Summer's palm touched the beam, the red gem in the air suddenly fell rapidly, like a bullet, and suddenly penetrated through Summer's eyebrows.

At the same time as the gem entered the body, the red beam of light turned into a ball of flames, and it actually circled around Summer's body, and in the blink of an eye, Summer was completely enveloped in flames.

In just a few breaths, Summer was burned into a puddle of ashes by the flames.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, the expression on the face of the long-bearded old man was a little anxious at first, then a kind of anticipation, and finally a little surprised.

In the ashes on the ground, a red gem suddenly rose slowly, the same one that flew into Summer's body before. I saw that as the red gem rose, a mysterious magic circle appeared on the ground.

The red gem rose to about a meter and stopped, and then burst into a strong red light. Then the shape changed to the shape of a heart, and it began to beat rhythmically.

There were many tiny particles flying out of the circle on the ground, converging towards the heart. As the number of fine particles increases, the outline of a human body in the red light gradually emerges.

First a skeleton, then internal organs, blood vessels and nerves, and finally muscles, skin, and hair...... It's exactly what summer looks like! When the eyes of this reborn summer opened, two flames appeared in one of her eyes.

looked at his body, the soul-shaking experience just now made the summer still scared for a while. It was a kind of burning pain, and it was indeed not something that ordinary people could bear. Unfortunately, it was a little worse than the kind of great pain she had suffered back then, so she finally endured it.

When the consciousness is clear and intact, first the death pain of burning the body, and then the pain of condensing the body. Until now, the body is completely reborn, but there are suddenly many more memories in my mind that do not belong to me.

Summer's eyes closed again, carefully feeling the information she received.

"Flame Nirvana! The state of life has been sublimated, and as long as the crystal nucleus is not destroyed, the body will not ......be destroyed."

All kinds of information kept emerging, and I couldn't fully absorb and digest it for a while in the summer, so I just roughly sorted it out. She knew that she seemed to be a legendary immortal now, but this immortal had not yet learned any spells, not even flying.

When I opened my eyes again, Summer saw that there was an extra set of red clothes and a pair of red shoes in front of me.

"This set of Red Cloud armor is for you, put it on." The voice of the bearded old man came from a distance, and he had been hovering in front of the labyrinth's exit, not close to Summer's side.

Hearing this, Xia Xia noticed that he was naked. Although she was only eleven or twelve years old, she was a girl after all, and her face became a little red. Hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground and quickly put them on.

This leather armor is very light and elastic, although the body is petite in summer, but it is still very close to the body after wearing. The style is not bad, with open-knee shorts and short-sleeved tank tops.

The shoes also seem to be made of magical materials, and they will automatically adjust the size when they are worn on the feet, which is perfectly suitable for a pair of small feet in summer.
