Chapter 402: Battle of Qingyang: Bird Screen Demon Palace (First Update...
After saving Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiaoleng stayed in place with her for the time being, and was in a stalemate with Qingyun and Lingyu.
Qingyun didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move, and he didn't mean to escape, he actually wanted to conduct a test to see if he could fully control Ling Yu.
Although Fang Cai Lingyu seemed to attack Xia Qiu and almost seriously injured her, he did not completely follow his command, and his own consciousness had not given up fighting against Qingyun who was trying to control him, which made Qingyun feel difficult to understand. Because his soul and Lingyu's soul were originally one, but they were only divided into two after a violent collision in the process of escaping to the demon world, and when these two souls reunited again, the weaker one would be controlled by the stronger party, which should have been inevitable.
Qingyun wondered, could it be that this young man was far more powerful than he imagined, and could even compete with his own strength, so it was so difficult to control. However, the Rakshasa Mother and the Yaksha were really not very useful as they expected, and it didn't take long for the war to allow Ouyang Xiaoleng to easily get out to assist Xia Qiu.
"It's not so easy to escape this time!" Ouyang Xiaoleng rarely seized such an opportunity, and was able to face Qingyun so closely, his excitement level can be imagined. It's as if the blood in the body is constantly being heated to the boiling point, and they tumble in the blood vessels, and then wait for the moment to burst out.
"If I want to go, who can help me?! I just have unfinished business. One of Qingyun's hands was on Ling Yu's back, and Ling Yu seemed to be hanging in mid-air, his limbs hanging to the ground, relying only on the strength of his hand to support him.
After the shower stopped and the dark clouds dispersed, the moonlight illuminated the green tiger head mask on Qingyun's face very clearly, and on the green mask, the tiger's entire face was finely outlined with golden lines, and every hair and beard was so lifelike. On the tiger head mask, there is a serious expression that never changes, which is in stark contrast to Qingyun's moody personality.
Qingyun pushed hard, pushed Ling Yu forward and said, "Let me try, what kind of moves can I form once I and this young man's strength are united?" Bird Screen Demon Palace! ”
As soon as the words fell, the Demon Owl Brocade in Ling Yu's hand flew out, and the nine strips of silk were surrounded by Qingyun's cyan magic cyclone, they quickly expanded, connected, and fell towards Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng's heads. They tried to avoid it, but it was too late.
"...... this?" Xia Qiu found that he and Ouyang Xiaoleng were trapped in a place similar to the Demon Palace, and this Demon Palace was made of Demon Owl Brocade.
"Labyrinth?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng blurted out.
"That's right, it's the labyrinth! This is no ordinary labyrinth, you have to be careful when you choose the wrong direction, if you choose the wrong route, you will be attacked by hidden weapons, but don't say I didn't warn you! Do not try to escape, unless you find the right way out, you will not be able to get out at all. Qingyun's voice came from outside the Bird Screen Demon Palace.
"Despicable!" Ouyang Xiao Leng just planned to fight with Qingyun head-on, but he didn't expect this demon to use a new trick, he tried to stab the walls on both sides with the Night God Ice, but they didn't move.
And Xia Qiu is most worried about Ling Yu's situation, just now when she was fighting with Ling Yu, she could feel the pain and contradiction in his heart, although he was controlled by Qingyun, but his own consciousness was contrary to him.
Now she and Ouyang Xiaoleng are trapped in the maze conjured up by the demon owl brocade that Qingyun used her own strength and realm, facing life and death decisions at any time, and she must be quite cautious at every step, otherwise she will be injured by unknown hidden weapons.
"I'm not very good at breaking through mazes!" She said truthfully to Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"Don't worry, even if you make a mistake, I'll protect you!" Ouyang Xiaoleng comforted her with ease.
Although it was just a simple sentence, it also made her feel relieved, if he hadn't arrived in time, she would have been seriously injured or even killed by Ling Yu. This kind of consequence is really unimaginable, once Ling Yu really hurts her, then his relationship with them will become awkward, which is the last thing she wants to happen.
"In the maze, you should first determine the direction, right?" Xia Qiu looked left and right, this maze is wide enough for three people to walk side by side, but should it be left or right? She didn't pay attention in her heart.
"It's not difficult, the feathers of the demon of the carved owl on the magic owl brocade are braided clockwise, so if you want to go out, you just need to walk in the direction of the feathers." Ouyang Xiaoleng said as he began to observe the feather patterns on the labyrinth arms on both sides, and sure enough, it was the same as he thought, those feather patterns were next to each other, the same as those on the magic owl brocade.
Xia Qiu had to admire, the more critical the moment, the more dominant Ouyang Xiaoleng's personality became, he was always able to stay calm and make a comprehensive analysis of the situation he was in, which was his nature.
"This way!" After Ouyang Xiaoleng determined the direction, he said to Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu followed behind him, and after the two walked in a straight line for some distance, they finally faced a fork.
"Can you still decide which way to go by the direction of the feathers?" She asked after looking back and forth a few times.
"It doesn't seem to work, you see, the direction of the feathers on these two sides is the same now, this may be an illusion deliberately created by Qingyun in order to confuse our discernment." Ouyang Xiaoleng replied after a careful observation.
"So what are we going to do?" Xia Qiu naturally relied on Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"Wait!"
Ouyang Xiaoleng thought for a while and came to the conclusion that the two sides did look exactly the same, and the maze began to gradually fog up, and as the fog thickened, his sense of smell was not so sensitive.
Suddenly, he had a plan, picked up a few stones from the ground, and flew one out of his head, which turned into powder when it touched the barrier above them. Then he flew a stone to the left, and the light was so dim that he could only tell by ear what had happened to the stone after it had flown to the left. There was a crisp sound, presumably caused by the collision of metal and stone.
It didn't seem to work on the left, so he threw another one to the right, but it made the exact same sound as the left. He should have guessed that this would be the result, Qingyun's so-called "going in the wrong direction" and encountering the mechanism is just a pretense, in fact, the mechanism in his mouth is all over the corner of the maze, no matter which direction you choose, the danger you have to face when turning is the same.
"I was almost deceived by Qingyun again! This devil is despicable! Ouyang Xiaoleng cursed, if he immediately took Xia Qiu to choose the right one after testing the labyrinth passage that turned to the left just now, then the two of them would definitely be injured without psychological defense. Fortunately, he followed his instincts and made the right choice, and did not believe Qingyun's words.
"Hahaha, you're smarter than I thought!" Qingyun's voice came into the maze again, and his words not only did not anger Ouyang Xiaoleng, but instead became the driving force for him to continue moving forward. Knowing that he didn't take the opportunity to escape, then he still has a chance to face him after leaving the labyrinth.
"Follow me!" After he finished speaking to Xia Qiu, he summoned the bell scale sword in his left hand, and he continued to lead the way in front of her, ready to deal with the mechanism that appeared at any time.
He chose to turn right, and just a few steps out, in the seemingly calm labyrinth, the feather patterns on the wall that were originally just carved suddenly became three-dimensional and erect, and the sharp feather tips shot quickly in the direction of Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu.
Ouyang Xiaoleng used his demonic power to form a protective barrier while using the two swords in his hand to hit the constantly attacking feather arrows to the side. Xia Qiu was also behind him, and he had already dealt with these hidden weapons.
For a moment, the clashing of swords and feathered arrows, and the sound of knocking them to the ground, clanged to form a very beautiful melody, and the melody became faster and faster, which also meant that the hidden weapons flew out more and more densely.
The first round of hidden weapons was very fierce, but it didn't last very long, and when the hidden weapons fired at them finally stopped, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at the ground, and the feather arrows had been densely piled up on the ground.
They began to enter a safe area, the light in this section of the maze seemed even dimmer than just now, Ouyang Xiaoleng released several demon fires flying back and forth, and used them to illuminate.
"Huh......" He took a closer look at Xia Qiu by the light, and saw that she was not injured before he relieved his heart and continued to walk forward.
Cold sweat oozed from the two of them's foreheads, and every step was fraught with unknown dangers, but it meant that they were closer to getting out of the labyrinth. Arriving at the next fork, Ouyang Xiaoleng chose to go left with his intuition, his demon fire had been shattered by a hidden weapon in the process of flying in this direction, and suddenly all around was darkened.
There was a buzz coming from the darkness, and he heard what seemed to be a bee's voice, and couldn't help but say to himself, "Could it be that this secret weapon is a bee?!" ”
As he spoke, he flew out a few more demon fires, illuminating the way ahead. A swarm of bees appeared in front of him and Xia Qiu, and rushed towards them, each bee was made of two feathers, and was much larger than a normal bee. They are all golden-brown in color, with only the tail pin behind them being purple.
Ouyang Xiaoleng reminded Xia Qiu: "Be careful of their tail needles, I'm afraid they are poisonous." ”
A huge number of poisonous bees surrounded the two of them, and rushed at them at the same time with the poisonous needles in their tails, ready to launch a general attack on them at any time.
Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu leaned on each other's backs, facing the bees in all directions, without verbal communication, the demonic power cyclone of the two had begun to merge, forming a layer of white and red intersecting barrier around their bodies.
The frontmost bees are unable to break through the barrier, but they go with the ones behind them and ram the barrier with themselves. Poisonous bees often fall due to broken wings or injuries, and the subsequent poisonous bees will immediately make up for it.
