Frontispiece: The second gate, Panthermon.

Body:

Gu came to the second door, this time, Gu carefully observed the pattern on the door, the head of the beast looked like a tiger, and the tail also looked like a tiger's thick tail, but on the whole, its physique was not as strong as that of a tiger.

"Although it does not have the physique of a tiger, it can be seen from the bare teeth at the corners of its mouth, its muscular body, and the long claws that show its limbs, that it is a beast of prey, and that it is a swift beast. ”

Gu said, pushing open the second door that had been closed for a long time, this time it was different from when he entered the first gate, as soon as Gu stepped in, the flame platform in the dark place was lit up, and the surrounding area was as bright as day.

"Bang-" The door that had just opened, closed.

Gu didn't care, but carefully inspected the surroundings.

The terrain here is made up of loess hills, and as far as the eye can see, the hills are connected to the hills, covering each other, and it seems that something is hidden.

"Could it be that the ferocious beast is hiding somewhere on this hill?"

Gu took out the Yunmeng Sword with his hand and gathered his spirit into a blade. Waiting for the beast to appear.

I waited for a while, but there was no movement.

Gu couldn't hold back his temperament and shouted: "Fierce beast shaped like a tiger, I know that you are hiding in the hills, and now that the person who challenged you has appeared, why haven't you appeared yet?"

Gu Lian shouted a few times, but there was no movement around him.

"What's going on???,Is there no beast at all?,Is there no beast at all, and the beast pattern embedded in the second gate is just a trick to confuse the challenger?," Gu wondered inwardly.

"If you stay here, you can only sit and wait, it is better to go inside and find out, as the saying goes: 'The brave wins when you meet on a narrow road'. Gu cheered himself up, took a step, and carefully walked behind those hills.

Everything was still calm, behind the hills, overlapping each other, it could be described as layered mountains, only in the overlapping cracks there were narrow gaps that Gu could allow Gu to walk into.

Seeing that the gaps were so narrow and there was no place to stand around, Gu couldn't help but wonder: "Such a small place, let alone fierce beasts, even people like me can barely enter, how can there be beasts living here." Is there really no beast behind this door? It is only a test of the courage of those who enter the forbidden land, but if it is only that, the test is too simple. ”

It's just that after walking for about an hour, a howling wind blew in a slit, the wind was so strong that Gu could barely stand.

Gu had a countermeasure, inserted the sword body into the hill made of loess aggregation, in order to fix his body, and with the help of the fixed point of the Yunmeng Sword, he slowly walked out of the narrow gap where the eyes could not be opened and the rapid wind was blowing.

Gu finally rushed out, and everything in front of him made Gu suddenly brighten.

"I didn't expect that inside this hill, there was such a large oval-shaped plain, and five hundred meters away, there was a river flowing, and there were small vegetation forests around the river, and there were wild grasses on the ground. Surrounded by hills, it is hidden enough, and the gap at the exit is in the narrow tube effect, so even if a slight wind blows in the plain, it will become a strong air flow when passing through the valley mouth. I really didn't expect that life could be seen in this forbidden place. ”

Seeing this, Gu's mood suddenly relaxed a lot, he licked his dry lips, and decided to go to the oasis and drink a little water.

But walking over, there are no green forests at all, no green meadows, and no so-called rivers.

"Is it an illusion? a mirage? How can there be a mirage here? Gu's pupils were dilating.

"Ahh

The shadow of a black object flashed.

"The Array of Imperial Spirits in the Four Directions, the Wind Forest Volcano. "The shadow attacked one part of the formation and didn't break through, and then quickly flashed elsewhere.

Due to the speed being too fast, Gu didn't see the appearance of the monster clearly at all, Gu looked around, and found that on the left side of the sword array, there were flowers, trees, and rivers that he had just seen, and from a distance, the river was actually flowing dynamically, and if he listened carefully, he could hear the sound of gurgling water subtly.

"It's so realistic, there is a dangerous killing machine hidden in this realistic oasis, it seems that the monster just now is the pattern engraved on the second door when I came in before, I didn't expect it to be able to create illusions and be as fast as the wind. ”

Gu watched vigilantly at the changes in the mirage on the left, and after about three minutes, the illusion was disappearing.

"It's coming. Gu was vigilant in his heart.

A powerful arrow fired from a dark image swooped down quickly.

"So fast. Its appearance is completely invisible, and all that can be seen is a rapidly advancing mass of black body. ”

"The Quartet Spirit Array should be able to withstand its physical attacks. ”

But to Gu's surprise, the black body did not attack, but ran quickly around Gu's Quartet Spirit Array.

"What the hell is it doing, do you want to break through the Four Directions Spirit Array at a swift speed?"

Gu's gaze didn't dare to relax and annotate the black body's every move.

"How is that possible? Am I dazzled?" Gu said in surprise.

Gu saw that the black body just now had turned into two, and he was running rapidly around the Quartet Imperial Spirit Array.

"This can't be? It turned into three black shadows again, what the hell is going on. ”

Gu's pupils widened: "Could it be that these three phantoms are both physical and illusory shadows created by the speed of galloping? So, how fast can it be to achieve such an achievement?" Does it want to confuse my eyes, and then seize my momentary slack and strike me a fatal blow? ”

"Hah-" a growl.

Three shadows jumped and attacked three at the same time.

"Could it be that all three shadows are entities? How is this possible? Only one of them can be real. Could it be... Could it be that its speed allows it to attack three times at once, and it moves back and forth in three places, which is terrifying. ”

Gu's Quartet Spirit Array was completely overwhelmed, and only one entity was effectively resisted, while in the other two, Gu was unable to gather spiritual power to resist at all, and as a result, two places were broken through the gap.

"Ahh

At this point, the monster finally revealed its face, it was all black, the length of two adults, about the height of an adult, like a tiger, but the speed of the tiger was definitely not able to catch up with its speed, the two fangs at the corners of the mouth resembled the ancient giant saber-toothed tiger, and the long tail on the back body swayed from side to side, it seemed that it was ready to strike again at any time.

"That's right, Panthermon, it travels thousands of miles every day, and it is tireless. The speed is as fast as lightning, I heard that ten years ago, a black panther beast attacked the mountain god of the three mountains, endangering the order of the mountain, the spirit master sent people to kill, and then the spirit master rumored that this beast has been hunted, however, today it seems that it was thrown into the forbidden land by the spirit master gate, I didn't expect that I met such a fierce beast here. ”

"Then I want to see if it's your speed or the sword energy of Yunmeng Sword. ”

Gu straightened the sword body, "Dao Kedao, double sword qi." ”

Gu crossed left and right and slid the sword body twice.

Two intersecting sword qi appeared, and they rushed over quickly.

The beast also began to exert its strength. The footsteps went from walking to running, to not being able to see its figure clearly, and only seeing dark shadows.

"So fast, I dodged it. Not good!"

The black panthermon's claws tore through the strap on Gu's shoulder, and the wooden box fell to the ground with a sound.

The Gu took a few steps back, and the Black Panther Beast transformed into three shadows in the distance and pounced on the Gu.

"What should I do?"

"Tai Chi swordsmanship (moves and Bagua Formation 36 have the same magic, when dancing the sword, will form a small Yin and Yang Bagua Array within a circle of rotation of their body, in this array the sword can analyze the opponent's moves, and then find out the opponent's weakness and take the opportunity to defeat the opponent. Moreover, Gu has further developed the Tai Chi formation, although the Tai Chi formation is relatively strong, but only by attracting the opponent to the formation can it play the role of the formation, in order to increase the scope of the formation, Gu uses phantoms (triangular, can imitate the appearance and actions of people, after special spiritual training, it can become a powerful combat weapon. Create another entity that is exactly like yourself and fight. ）。 "The Gu was also divided into two, with the front and back backs, vigilant to the left and right.

"Beast, let you see my newly created Tai Chi Sword Technique - One Person, One Shadow Double Tai Chi Sword Technique. ”

Relying on this array, the Gu shattered the two shadows, and the third shadow, which was the true entity of the Black Panther Beast, broke through the form of the Gu formed by the combination of phantoms. Gu sensed that something was wrong, and made a quick move, "Turn around and hit the sword back." A sword cut through a piece of the beast's flesh, and the beast did not show weakness, endured the pain, and cut a small part of Gu's cheek skin, oozing a little blood.

Gu touched the sore spot: "Good guy, it can actually hurt me." It's no wonder that the Spirit Master Sect sent internal men to encircle and suppress you, you are indeed a fierce beast. It's a pity that I've seen through all your tricks, and you're nothing more than these two tricks. If you let the horse come again, you will not have any good fruit to eat. ”

Gu pointed his sword at the fierce beast in front of him and said confidently.

The beast roared in the sky and ran around the Gu at a rapid pace. This time its shadows went from one to two, two to four, four to six, and six to eight.

"Is this something that a living being can do? It had already consumed a lot of physical strength when it fought with me just now, so why could it still use such an unbelievable move, didn't it consume physical strength?

The Gu was located in the center of the circle, and it was found that a whole mirage had formed in the circle formed by the eight shadows.

Eight shadows were hidden in the mirage, and it was impossible to discern their location.

"Awesome, the move of one change to eight is enough to make me jaw-dropping, but I didn't expect that the eight shadows that are both physical and illusory will each use the illusion of the mirage, and the entire area besieging me will be fused into the illusion, so that I can't discern the location of its attack, this is a deadly move. How can I deal with that?"

At this critical juncture, Gu remembered what Yousi had told him: "There are many kinds of spirits in your body, you have to learn to feel them and use them." ”

"How many spirit seeds are in me, what are they used for, what can they be used for? Everything is unknown, but each spirit has its own value, it can be restrained by one spirit, and it can also become the nemesis of another. The same is true of the illusion used by the beast, which is just a kind of spiritual trick. At this juncture of crisis, I will use this short time to feel the voice of my other self in the depths of my heart. ”

"Is this coming to the depths of my heart again? All around me are yellow and shining, and there are so many insects swimming around the soles of my feet, is this the spirit seed that exists in my heart?"

"Hey, you're here again, long time no see, it looks like your injuries are healed. "A familiar voice, that's another ego hidden deep inside.

"Why have you been here?"

"Because, I am you, here, I want to take good care of the spiritual river in your heart. ”

"In... Deep down in my heart... There's a spiritual river flowing?"

"Yes, a spirit river, a spirit river that is comparable to the existing spirit river in the spirit world. ”

"Is this what Master Right Si said about my wealth?"

"It's your wealth, but it's going to take a long time to make the most of it. ”

"I'm here today to inquire, do you know a spirit seed that can generate mirage illusions?"

"You've met the Panthermon, right?"

"How do you know?"

"Because the only one who can use this move is the Black Panther Beast. It was an illusion they used to hunt and protect themselves, and in more than 2,000 years of evolution, the Panthermon went from a weak man to a strong man thanks in large part to this illusion. This illusion is created by the spirit species 'mirage' that resides in the tail of the panthermon, which used to parasitize various plants and animals, but for some unknown reason, after thousands of years of evolution, it has evolved into a rare spirit species that only parasitizes the tail of the panthermon. ”

"Can I beat it?"

"Yes, you just need to open the second layer of eyelids and use the vision at the same time. ”

"Isn't it all about probing the spirit seed and seeing the inside of the darkness and the physical cover?"

"Remember, the combination of the two will not be the same. Go ahead, you can make your way through what others call the forbidden land of death. You're going to rewrite what they think of this place and what they think of you. ”

Gu returned to reality, he listened to his inner voice, opened the second layer of eyelids and opened the visual spirit at the same time, looked around with his eyes closed, and saw the black panther beast running under the illusion. At this time, only one of the eight shadows of the panthermon was running in the circle, and the speed of running was also significantly weakened.

"I didn't expect that the combination of the two could see through its illusions and slow down the opponent's speed. ”

The Black Panther Beast swooped over, and with just one blow from the Gu, the Black Panther Beast was knocked to the ground, unable to fight.

Gu knew that it was no longer able to fight back, so he withdrew his sword.

The hills around him moved, and a door appeared from the ground ahead, the entrance to the third major gate.

"It looks like I've managed to get through the second gate. ”
