Chapter 25: The Line Between Life and Death
Wen Han and the others lifted the spell, and this was the best time to withdraw from the dense forest.
Qingluan let out a long roar and flew into the sky outside the forest, and the long-lost sunshine appeared in front of them, and everyone squinted slightly.
The toothed dolphin lay on Wen Yan's shoulder, jumping up and down in a panic, Wen Yan stroked its little head and coaxed gently: "Don't be afraid, we'll leave here now." ”
The tooth dolphin and Wen Yan have a heart-to-heart connection, Wen Yan can feel the fear in its heart, and the tooth dolphin did not calm down when he heard the reassurance of the owner, but kept calling in a panic.
"Senior brother, look!" Wen Yan pointed to the sky, and saw that on the top of the distant mountain, countless birds swept towards this side.
"Hurry up, I don't want to die here!" Lei Qi had been hit hard before, and seeing this scene, he completely lost his mind, he stomped his foot fiercely and stepped on Qingluan's back feathers, "Beast, fly quickly." ”
Qingluan wailed, jolting and flying away from the dense forest, when suddenly its wings tingled, and it almost fell from a high altitude.
"Senior Brother Lei Qian!" Wen Han Xianhou fixed Lei Qi and made him unable to move, now is the time to escape, this guy is still busy adding to the chaos.
It was in these few breaths that they missed the best opportunity to escape, and the birds and beasts had already flown in front of them.
As far as the eye can see, there are dense gray-brown feathers, the head of the bird has a single horn, the beak has sharp teeth, the shape is like a carving, as tall as an adult man, the wings spread out to form a gang wind enough to tear the flesh and bones apart.
"It's the Gu Eagle, Senior Sister Lin and Wen Ting are holding up the enchantment, quick!" Wen Han Xianhou was drenched in cold sweat, how could there be such a man-eating beast as a Gu Eagle here, a Gu Eagle is not difficult to deal with, but if he is surrounded by this overwhelming group of Gu Eagle beasts, he can only wait for death.
Wen Han sacrificed the "Yifeng" sword, and the fairy sword came out of its sheath, and the sharp sword qi was like a dragon going out to sea, and the qi was like a rainbow.
The Gu eagle that was attacked by the sword qi disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the Immortal Marquis of Wenhan pinched the imperial sword technique, and the immortal sword was like the wind, and the momentum was magnificent, and there was a phoenix-like sword roar in the air.
The fairy sword was like fire and lightning, and the Gu carving turned into ashes where the red light flickered. Several other people also sacrificed their flying swords, and for a while, all kinds of sword lights shone in the sky, dancing a gorgeous chapter.
"Everyone attack in the same place, open the gap and escape!" Wen Han Xianhou shouted loudly.
Several sword lights sailed towards the sky, like a flying rainbow across the sky, and the Gu Eagle Group finally broke through the gap under the joint attack of everyone, and a beam of sunlight shone down like dawn.
Everyone continued to maintain the offensive, and at the same time, Wen Han Xianhou drove Qingluan to rush towards the gap, seeing that the dawn was imminent, the Gu eagle group had red eyes and let out a strange cry of a baby.
Hundreds of Gu Eagles let out a cry similar to that of a baby, endlessly, everyone only felt a tingling pain in their eardrums, their heads were dizzy, and a few people who were weak in cultivation even had their blood and qi surging, and their breath was disordered.
In addition to its sharp beak teeth and wings, Gu Eagles are good at sound attack, biting and devouring their prey when it is disturbed by sound.
The flesh and blood of immortal cultivators is a great complement to the demonic beasts, and this group of Gu eagles is even more excited when they are stimulated by blood.
Many Gu eagles changed formations, flying in a spiral like deep-sea fish, encircling and trapping Wen Han and the others, looking from a distance, it looked like a black hurricane sweeping in the air.
On the basis of defending the enchantment, Wen Ting also applied a hidden enchantment to eliminate the sonic interference of the Gu Eagle Group, and the Gu Eagle Group violently collided outside the enchantment, and the huge wings gave birth to a powerful storm that tore through everything, and the enchantment was hit by the wind blade and sent out golden-red sparks.
Wen Yan saw that Senior Brother Wen Ting's forehead was dripping with beads of sweat, and there was no blood on his face, as if he was close to the limit but still holding on, so she immediately sat down cross-legged and performed a spell: "Senior Brother Wen Ting, you rest, come with me." ”
Wen Ting just nodded silently, and after glancing at Wen Yan and Lin Mengjiao, who was also pale, he closed his eyes and breathed quietly.
"Senior Sister Lin, if we insist, the elders will definitely come to our rescue." Wen Han also sat cross-legged next to him, stretching out the enchantment.
"But with so many magical beasts, it's also tricky for the elders." Lin Mengjiao said softly, like a filament.
Wen Han smiled with relief: "Senior sister, don't worry, the Shengtian Sect has its own magic weapon to deal with these demonic beasts, and now that the movement in Mount Meru is so big, the elders will definitely come in time, everyone just needs to save their physical strength to keep the barrier unbroken." ”
Wen Han sighed secretly, there was no other way at this moment than to wait for the elders' rescue.
……
Just two hours ago, Tan Luo and Bai Ze followed the trail of the Red Flame Muntjac and came to the highest peak west of the Sumeru Mountains.
Tan Luo relied on the reason that it was more convenient and faster to squeeze into the same auspicious cloud with Bai Ze, and half an hour away, Tan Luo hung on Bai Ze's back all the way, and fell asleep in boredom.
Bai Ze heard the sound of even sleeping behind him, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, standing in the air can fall asleep, I'm afraid this girl is the only one.
"Hey, dead tree, come down." Bai Ze's tone was not good, but Tan Luo hung on him.
"Hmm, where are we?" Tan Luo opened her eyes, and the clouds and mist in front of her eyes, an ancient and quiet tower was like a pillar of optimus, reaching into the sky.
The tower body is tall and tall, simple and majestic, come to the foot of the tower, raise your eyes and look up, only to find that it is more magnificent than when you see it in the distance.
The tower is thin and straight, the color is like iron, and the body of the tower is depicted with various frescoes, which seem to depict various punishment scenes.
"This is the Sumeru Tower, which is the place where the immortal world used to punish fallen immortals." Bai Ze stepped forward, looked at the bottom of the picture and said, "This bottom layer is covered by dark clouds, countless corpses and bones are piled up into hills, and the human-faced bird body in the middle represents ghosts, and the runes engraved on it are used to seal resentful demons. From the bottom to the top, the pattern of the second layer of the tower is the stars and moons, representing the vast star universe. The pattern of the third layer is spring, summer, autumn and winter, representing the change of seasons. ”
"What are these second and third layers for?" Tan Luo expressed the doubts in her heart.
"Regarding the introduction of the Sumeru Tower, Master Ben has also seen it in the "History of the Immortal World". Bai Ze explained, "In addition to the sealing and punishment, the second and third layers of the Sumeru Pagoda should be used for meditation, there is a phantom array here, and the passage of time is slower than outside the tower. ”
Tan Luo pointed to the fourth layer, which depicts a man with his limbs bound, trapped in a water prison, surrounded by carved edges of fire and ice, and with the sun and moon on the top of his head: "These four layers or more should be a punishment." ”
"That's right, the fourth layer is the two heavens of ice and fire, the day is the flame burning, and the night is the ice and snow eroding the bones." Bai Ze continued, "There are eighteen floors in the Sumeru Tower, and each floor has a different purpose. Since the creation of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, this tower has also been guarded by the Endless Heavenly Venerable. ”
"Isn't that our ancestor in charge of here, since it's our own family, we're all here, why don't you go in and have a look?"
"Dead Tree, this is not the place for you to come around!" Bai Ze immediately grabbed Tan Luo.
"How can I come here, since you can retreat and practice in the pagoda, don't you want to see it?" Tan Luo asked rhetorically.
Bai Ze thought for a moment, he was also very curious about the scene in the tower, and with himself watching from the side, presumably this girl couldn't make any big waves.
Tan Luo saw that Bai Ze did not stop him, so he immediately put his hands against the door, pushed forward a little hard, and the heavy wooden door slowly opened.
Bai Ze followed in, holding Tan Luo's small hand and holding it in the palm of his hand: "Don't run around, maybe there is a mechanism formation." ”
Tan Luo looked at her hand being held, no matter how she looked at it, she felt weird and uncomfortable, she was stunned for a long time, and shook her hand away.
Bai Ze saw her throw herself off, and his heart was empty and uncomfortable, was he disgusted?
While mourning secretly, one arm pressed against his shoulder, and when he looked up slightly, he saw Tan Luo's triumphant little eyes.
"Well, that's comfortable, isn't it, White Lady." Tan Luo looked like a good brother and hugged Bai Ze.
"You're like a master." Bai Ze muttered in a low voice.
"Why don't you see there are stairs here?" Tan Luo looked around, the hall was empty, and when he looked up, the top of the tower was more than ten stories high.
Tan Luo was extremely disappointed, but if she thought about it carefully, there must be something strange here, after all, it was a place where fallen immortals were once imprisoned, how could it be so easy to find.
"There's a formation here, don't run around." Bai Ze spoke out uneasily.
Tan Luo nodded, and walked nonchalantly towards the center of the main hall, letting go of her divine sense and looking around for something suspicious.
"Dead tree, stand still!" Bai Ze suddenly shouted loudly.
"How?" Tan Luo was stunned on the spot, and at the same time, the tower instantly fell into darkness, and the white marble masonry under her feet emitted a faint green light, "What's going on?" ”
In fact, the tower gate that really entered the Sumeru Tower was at the foot, and after the Endless Heavenly Venerable took over the place, he used the bricks and stones as the chessboard, the spiritual power of the left hand was white, and the spiritual power of the right hand was the black child. Alternate the two hands and throw spiritual power on the ground in a specific order of chess games to dispel the illusion and enter the tower. If someone forcibly breaks into the formation, they will touch the chain formation and be trapped in the void realm inside the tower.
Bai Ze looked at Tan Luo nervously and at a loss, he had only seen the description of the Sumeru Tower in books, and he didn't know much about the situation in the tower, the most important thing now was how to exit, so he said to Tan Luo: "You may have stepped on something just now that touched the formation, and you try to jump out." ”
"Okay." Tan Luo jumped into the air and pounced on Bai Ze.
The blue fairy skirt was as light as butterfly wings, blooming in the air with a beautiful scenery, the girl opened her arms, but unfortunately her fingertips didn't have time to touch each other, she fell in mid-air and fell into the dark abyss.
Bai Ze saw a huge black hole appear on the ground, and the girl broke free from the strong attraction and fell down, he reached out to grab it, accompanied by the sound of the cloth tearing, and the palm of his hand left a piece of blue clothes......
"Stinky Bai Ze, you actually scratched my clothes, it's so expensive!" Tan Luo was gradually swallowed up by the darkness, her voice was ethereal, and she did not forget to curse indignantly as she fell.
This girl was dying, and still thinking about her tattered clothes, Bai Ze threw away the rags and immediately jumped into the abyss.
