Chapter 273: No Return to the Realm of Death - The Pivot (I)
It was a complete accident that Qiu Jiu'er would come to the Rift.
The ruins that the three gods of the dead have perfected one after another are so precise. Admittedly, there are no hints such as 'so-and-so level so-and-so challenge' in the Illusory Relics, but whether it's the search for the stone tablet in the Misty Graveyard or the 'stowaway' at the cemetery altar, as long as you are meticulous and sensitive enough, you can discover the path that the gods are secretly guiding.
The god of the dead will not confuse cultivators so much, and will not let cultivators spend too much time thinking about the question of 'what should I do'.
Qiu Jiu'er carefully examined the fake tree strip outside the Thunder Forest again, and she suspected that there was a mechanism that had not been triggered, or a clue that she had left behind, but unfortunately, she could not find anything.
Does the god of the dead want the monk to cross that ridiculously wide chasm? Dive into the abyss along a steep rock wall?
Qiu Jiu'er sat under the fake tree and doubted her life, and she pulled Lu Buying out to simulate: Even the small body of the summoner also wants to climb over the rift?
The god of the dead really didn't intend for cultivators to complete such a perverted challenge. In fact, the fake forest was full of large arrays, and once cultivators entered the array, all kinds of undead clan combinations would block in front of cultivators. This is a real test of combat power, but for some reason, the trigger condition of the large array is set to 'soul intervention'.
It also means that Qiu Jiu'er, an existence that cannot be detected by the soul, has no way to trigger the Great Array, so that the teleportation array that appears as a chain and leaves from this place will not appear!
'Invisibility' is not necessarily a good thing, and in the ruins, invisibility can easily deviate from the path prepared by the gods, which will only make it more difficult to attack.
"It's already Shen Yue. Oh, the people from the Light and Dark Family have all come in, what am I anxious about? Even if I leave here, I won't be able to defeat the elite guards guarding the Southern Teleportation Array. ”
"Do you want to wait for the month when the Jade Chamber of Commerce comes in in the lunar year? Or the month of the year when the Theological Temple enters? , I would have known that I would have asked in advance about the rotation arrangements of the Ten Statues of Yu Bowen. ”
Qiu Jiu'er squatted on the edge of the cliff again, and she looked at the bottomless abyss and muttered to herself.
"Flying monsters, or geckos like that...... It's hard to do, there won't be a flying undead, right? It would be nice if it was just a simple flip down. ”
"I have a robe of the night, and I can try to avoid it when I encounter enemies. But what should I do if my physical strength is exhausted, it is so deep, I have to climb for a few years to get to the end? ”
*****
Qiu Jiu'er ate two good meals in the fake woods, and then set up a tent and slept soundly for two days.
Recharge your batteries.
By the time Qiu Jiu'er packed up, her expression was very different from that of two days ago. Her gloomy and confused state of mind is difficult to achieve, and from the moment she makes a decision, she has been constantly tempering her will.
Drag can't solve the problem, she must act.
Qiu Jiu'er's limbs and back stretched out of eight thick golden magic vines, and now she resembled the untransformed Ji spider. She had never been so grateful to Danbi, the origin of the Demon Thorn Demon Vine merged with her, and each Demon Vine was like a finger to her.
"Click...... Click......"
The toes stepped on the square inch, and the sparse stone chips were swallowed up by the abyss. The tip of the vine pierced deep into the stone wall, and then withdrew little by little. Qiu Jiu'er, who lacked adhesion, suddenly slid down slowly, which was exactly the effect she wanted-
Slow down, slow down
The acceleration pulled her faster and faster, and the magic vine pulled out eight long scratches on the stone wall, and Qiu Jiu'er's heavily armed fingers were also burned by friction.
"Stop!"
For a moment, he could barely control himself, and Qiu Jiu'er, who had only descended for more than ten meters, was already scared out of a hot sweat.
Sliding at least keeps the Devil Vine firmly on the stone wall, much better than finding a foothold on her own. But at this moment, when Qiu Jiu'er's feet were hanging in the air and only relying on eight magic vines to hang her body, she couldn't help but ask herself:
Should I continue?
*****
When Qiu Jiu'er realized that such a descent was playing with his life, most of the day had passed. There is no end in sight to the winding stone wall overhead, and it is possible to slide downward, and it is almost a luxury to want to climb up without finding a foothold.
There are no regrets about this option.
Time passed day by day, accidents occurred frequently, and the number of ghost thorn vines increased from eight to ten or twelve; Occasionally, a narrow platform can be found to stop and rest, but such places can easily collapse. There are no monsters, no undead people, no life, no matter how long you dive, you can't even see a plant on the stone wall.
Qiu Jiu'er's mentality changed from extreme nervousness, remorse and resentment, to calmness. She is a person who can endure loneliness, and didn't she spend three years alone in the depths of the twisted jungle?
She was accustomed to the feeling of being suspended in the air, and her control over the Demon Vine was more handy. She sometimes slips in the spirit, thinking about Yubing, thinking about the Scarlet Sect, thinking about the Holy Sect-
If you can still see Bingfeng, it seems that the Holy Sect is not so terrifying.
Thinking of this, Qiu Jiu'er couldn't help but smile.
At this time, it was already the third day of climbing, and the cold dark purple came from the depths of the rift, and the moment it caught his eyes, Qiu Jiu'er thought that he had seen it wrong.
"Victory...... Sight?! ”
*****
The fifth day of climbing.
The outline of the Purple Palace is close at hand; It was like a giant beast lying on the ground, and in terms of floor space alone, it was bigger than the Jade Lady's Weiyang Hall or the Holy Sect's Brahma Demon Treasure Hall!
The forbidden spell-like runes densely wrapped around the palace, and it was the same runes that glowed. These runes are supposed to be part of a large array, as the tail of the ghostly light seeps into the ground.
"Protective formation? But I'm all here, do you want to stop me from going in again? ”
Qiu Jiu'er jumped into the ground, and her feet almost brought tears to her eyes. The soles of his feet sank into the fluffy soil, and while he was excited, Qiu Jiu'er was also a little surprised.
How can it be such a plough-like touch?
With doubts, he walked towards the palace wrapped in the rune array; Far away, Qiu Jiu'er threw the stone in his hand into the big array.
"Knock, Gollum, Gurgle......"
"Huh? This great array has no effect of isolation? So what is the meaning of its existence? ”
Qiu Jiu'er stared at the stone that easily fell into the floor tiles of the palace in a daze; Rubbing her eyebrows, she tentatively probed the tip of her left finger into the large array.
Nothing happened.
"This ......? No way. ”
With a slight leap, a faint purple light passed through the body; The soft touch under his feet became hard, and Qiu Jiu'er opened his eyes again-
She was already standing on the thick, pale tiles of the palace.
