Volume 3 Chapter 33

There was a piece of fire sand on the south side of the sand table, and there were many wooden sticks standing in the middle, and the stone broke through the short line formed by the two sand ditches and reached the wooden sticks.

The South Cliff Pavilion Lord smiled slightly and then stretched out his hand and waved, and Li Qing, who looked a little puzzled and surprised on the side, turned to one of the South Cliff Pavilion disciples and said, "Let's start."

The disciple then took out a mouse from a cloth bag, and then drew a short sword, which slashed through the mouse's body, and the mouse immediately screamed miserably, and the disciple's face remained unchanged, and he grabbed the mouse tightly and poured the rat blood that flowed out after cutting its body on the fire sand.

In the blink of an eye, the fire sand was soaked in blood, and the blood was red, and the other disciples were holding all kinds of strange-shaped props, and there were words in their mouths, and the blood on the fire sand disappeared in an instant, and the red fire sand seemed to burn, exuding a strange blood luster.

The enchanting face of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion was a little more cautious, staring at the sand table and being silent, Tao Fang's thick eyebrows on the side raised into a straight line, and a trace of inexplicable worry faintly appeared.

------

After contemplating for a long time in front of the pillar forest formed by the stone pillars, Zhan Xiu was about to go in.

Suddenly, the sun in the sky seemed to be bigger, sprinkling a blood-red light, the temperature in the desert suddenly rose, the sand and stones on the ground made a beeping sound, and the sand surface seemed to be as hot as a sudden fire, and you could experience this burning sensation through the soles of your shoes.

Zhan Xiu was taken aback, no longer hesitated, and flew into the stone pillar.

At this moment, the hair seemed to be burned and curled, and the sweat on the body was evaporated before it fell, and the throat was thirsty, and the fiery breath in the body was even more affected by this, and began to struggle like silver needles in the jelly condensed by the cold air.

In order to dispel the fog, he had to use a part of the breath in his body before, and he already felt that there were faint signs of instability, and now he was affected by the hot breath of this desert.

Zhan Xiu suddenly remembered the words that the Lord of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion had warned, and couldn't help but secretly cry out in his heart, the secret path was at this critical time, and he couldn't give himself a sloppy belt.

There is no way out now, the only way is to rush out of it as soon as possible, and you have to use as little breath as possible, but with the strength of the body alone, it is really not very sure whether you can pass the test smoothly.

Amazingly, the temperature inside the pillar was not affected by the scorching heat in the outer desert, but was cool and comfortable. Zhan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his head to look at the magical stone pillars in front of him again.

From the outside, this is a pile of scattered stone pillars, and when I got inside, I found that this pile of stone pillars was not erected in a disorderly manner, but two or four for the shoulder, wearing nine shoes and one, the number is not too much and not less is exactly forty-five, which happens to be extremely similar to the layout of the nine palaces placed by the old blind man, more or less, dense or sparse, respectively in different places.

I don't know when the layout of the Nine Palaces came from, but to be able to appear in this Ecstasy Bagua Array and be like an array of eyes, Zhan Xiu couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, these ancients in this South Cliff Pavilion are really smart, and it is really remarkable to be able to put up such a complex formation in the ancient period when it was basically in the wilderness.

After thinking about it again, maybe the ancients were actually really good at these formations, and in their own era, it was possible that the magical places had been lost, so I didn't think there was anything complicated at all.

My thoughts diverged for a while, but I still had to find a way out, this was the right thing, my eyes were looking around, but my pace kept walking towards the middle, while pondering what the mystery was, but I still didn't know the essentials for a long time.

After studying for a while, I vaguely guessed that these stone pillars may have absorbed the heat emitted by the surrounding desert and the scorching sun, so the stone pillars are all fiery red, and the space enclosed inside is particularly cool, the more you go to the center, the more you go, and when you go to the front of the five stone pillars in the center, it is even more breezy and particularly refreshing.

I had been roasted in the desert for most of the day before, and when I arrived here, I couldn't help but stay for a while, rest for a while, and by the way, sort out the slightly chaotic breath in my body, and suppress the restlessness in the depths of the dantian with the help of the cool energy in the stone pillar array.

Unexpectedly, not long after closing his eyes and pranayama, suddenly there was a sound in his ears, and he was shocked, and when he opened his eyes, he found that under the outermost stone pillar, snakes appeared at some point!

These snakes are about the thickness of their necks, their bodies are long, and their bodies are covered with scale armor, and the protruding scale armor on their backs is purple with a golden luster like dragon fruit, and the abdomen is a golden color, except that the body size is exaggerated a lot, and the viper in later legends looks exactly the same!

They all stared at Zhan Xiu with yellow and green eyes, and the snake core was like lightning, "sizzling", and the cold was coming!

Zhan Xiu couldn't help but gasp, and a cold sweat broke out on his back!

Looking around, he was already surrounded by this large group of snakes, fortunately he still had a short sword at hand, otherwise just looking at this dense formation, and that exaggerated size, it would be desperate and terrifying.

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Zhan Xiu almost stiffened his body and retreated inch by inch towards the middle of the five pillars in the center, hoping that his back against the pillar could support him for a while, but he didn't dare to move too much, for fear of alarming the group of snakes who were preparing to attack.

The master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion stared at the pots of herbs in the dark corner of the wall and was silent, with a cloudy expression on his face.

These pots of herbs grow extremely good-looking, and can even be described as demonic, but a few are obviously missing at the edges, as if some have been plucked out.

Seeing this, the fat man Du Xingsun was a little strange, and looked at the gaze of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master, and also found an abnormality, and then exclaimed: "Pavilion Master, how can the snake grass planted in our medicine garden be here, and there is a lot less?" ”

After hearing this, the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion sneered, and said expressionlessly: "Naturally, it was taken by the South Cliff Pavilion to be used, and at this time, I am afraid that the estimated time is just right to the place of the Viper Nine Palaces, which is just right to come in handy."

Du Xingsun was shocked when he heard this, and said with his mouth open: "Then that...... Isn't that this little junior brother in danger now, this ...... This is just a complete version of the Ecstasy Bagua Array, how can you use these things, once this snake grass is mixed with the blood of the gray squirrel beast, the power is extremely great, and it is possible to attract all the snakes in the array, if this is the case, I am afraid that this little junior brother will be more auspicious! ”

The master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion snorted coldly, but did not answer.

Du Xingsun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered, "Isn't it just a challenge test, but why do you want to move such a big formation?" ”

This time, the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion was not silent anymore, raised his dim eyes and glanced in the direction of the room in the South Cliff Pavilion, and said indifferently: "Naturally, someone wants to take the opportunity to kill him."

The fat man's eyes widened when he heard this, and he could no longer speak.
