The first floor of the Suzaku Tower, No. 49382 Fireball House. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Qiao Ximing was paralyzed on the fire bed, his whole body was soaked in sweat like a chicken in soup, his breath was like a cow, his eyes were dim, and he was obviously in a state of extreme exhaustion.

Spiritual cutting, refers to the division of one's own spiritual body, that is, the soul into two, this kind of direct mental pain is more than 10,000 times stronger than the physical body, when Qiao Ximing turned perception into a knife to start the first step, the whole person was close to the edge of collapse, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may collapse your spirit into a walking corpse.

However, he finally stood on the edge of extreme pain, hissing and performing a brutal act of self-harm, and after a minute of cutting, he finally cut out a mental fragment that met the requirements of the empty three, and then collapsed at the moment of completion, unconscious.

After a few hours, he slowly woke up, and when he opened his eyes to the red ball wall of the fireball house, he didn't react for a long time, like dementia.

This is the sequelae of mental cutting, because of the extreme painful stimulation, the person who has been cut off the spirit is unable to return to a normal state of mind in a short period of time, which is manifested as slow reaction and behavioral dementia.

"Brother, are you alright?"

A ray of light finally lit up tenaciously in the pupils, and under Xiao Qian's call, Qiao Ximing finally regained some consciousness.

"I'm fine......"

Boom!

Just as he was about to try to sit up from the bed, Qiao Ximing's body fell back to the bed halfway up.

At this time, he felt that the musculature of his whole body was trembling, and he was still immersed in the pain of Shicai, and he did not listen to the call of consciousness at all.

At this time, he is a typical example of involuntarily.

"Mental cutting will take some time to recover, so you can meditate properly now, and you will need to integrate the fragments into the system of the Vermilion Bird Tower so that I can begin to hack into the backdoor program. ”

Qiao Ximing closed his eyes and nodded gently: "How to integrate?"

"Where ...... going"

According to Kongsan's instructions, Qiao Ximing used his perception to punch the cut spirit fragments into the ball wall of the fireball house, and his consciousness was churning again, but compared to the pain of cutting, it was nothing more than the pain during the cutting.

"The intrusion began, which is expected to take three months. ”

"Can't it be faster? For three months, Cher didn't know if she could last so long. ”

"It can't be accelerated, the programs that can be used at the moment are too limited, and if it is forcibly invaded, the chance of being detected by the central system is too high and too dangerous. ”

Central system?

Qiao Ximing seemed to think of something, but his mind was as sticky as injected with cement, and he couldn't react at all.

"Idiot boy, don't listen to me, now you know what pain is, right?" Chi You said with hatred, with a strong sense of sarcasm.

"Big ugly bastard, shut your stinky mouth! Brother, are you okay?"

"Dead girl!"

"That's enough!" Qiao Ximing roared in his heart: "I'm going to start cultivating." ”

Chi You snorted angrily and stopped talking, and Xiao Qian also put away her worries and returned to the necklace.

Exhaled lightly, and the Chiyou Battle Sutra began to run in his body, Qiao Ximing's body was immediately like a huge whirlpool that appeared on the sea, and all the surrounding spiritual energy was swept into it in an instant, greedily devouring it into his body, and then transforming it into his own vitality.

The concentration of aura three times that of the outside world quickly moistened his body, his trembling muscles gradually stabilized, and his mental state gradually recovered.

Two hours later.

"The cultivation time limit has run out, and room 49382 is about to close, please stop the spiritual energy absorption. A voice came from the inner wall of the fireball house, waking Qiao Ximing up from his cultivation.

Getting up, Qiao Ximing raised his left hand and grasped it slightly: "Has it been a day?"

After making sure that his body had regained its most basic functions, he stepped down from the fire bed, and just as he landed on the ground, the wall of fire around him suddenly trembled, and then disintegrated into blue and red flames, and flew back into the sky and the earth.

As soon as the fireball house disappeared, when Qiao Ximing saw the scene outside, he was slightly stunned, because he saw a person with an expressionless face standing not far away, who was using his blank name to enter the Vermilion Bird Tower.

"When did he pass the trial?"

Chi You smiled unconsciously: "It has been passed a long time ago, 1963." ”

Qiao Ximing immediately reacted, 1963 was referring to the number of flames displayed after passing the trial.

So fast?

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Qiao Ximing remembered the day before the civil and martial arts trial began.

......

Two days ago.

"How, a person, for a loyal bodyguard, do you do this deal?" Chi You's words were like demonic whispers, constantly tempting Qiao Ximing.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Ximing nodded: "A complete corpse within seven days of death is sufficient, right?"

"Yes, but it's better to live ......"

Without waiting for Chi You to finish speaking, Qiao Ximing walked in a certain direction of Vermilion Bird City, ignoring the second half of his sentence at all.

A quarter of an hour later, he came to a black house, different from the lively market, but there were very few people walking here, because this house was a mortuary set up in Suzaku City, and ordinary people were naturally not far away.

As his vitality surged, Qiao Ximing instantly turned into a dark blood shadow and floated into the mortuary.

Probably because this place was only used to load corpses, and there was no power to guard it, so Qiao Ximing easily blended in.

After some searching, he chose the body of a man who had just died for less than a day, so he asked in his heart, "The body has been found, what next?"

"What's next...... Hehe, enter your vitality into him!"

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Ximing still reached out and put his hand on the corpse's chest according to what Chi You said, and after taking a breath, the xenomorph vitality slowly flowed out from his palm.

Suddenly, the Chiyou Divine Statue at the dantian suddenly moved, and a ray of blood was separated, which mixed into Qiao Ximing's vitality and burrowed into the corpse with a thunderous momentum.

Qiao Ximing was startled, but he didn't have time to stop it, so he could only withdraw his hand and take a few steps back, and asked in a deep voice in his heart: "Chiyou, what did you do?"

"Hehe, don't be afraid, just wait and see!"

Chi You smiled strangely and didn't answer, and in Qiao Ximing's surprised gaze, the corpse's chest began to glow with blood, and then violently shook several times, and then dissipated.

But this was not the end, and soon, other changes took place in the corpse.

The pale skin gradually turned rosy, and after Qiao Ximing heard a few knocks, he saw the corpse's fingers move slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened.

The dead have been resurrected!

The resurrected corpse sat up from the stone platform, looked at his body, and then stood up, his eyes closed, as if he was feeling something, but Qiao Ximing sensitively felt that a huge amount of vitality was extracted from the ground under the feet of the corpse, and it frantically drilled into the heart of his feet, and then a breath of ability rose up, from the rank of a soldier to the middle of the rank of a minister before stopping.

Looking at this strange scene, Qiao Ximing was shocked and said loudly: "Chiyou?"

Chi You's voice came out of the dantian again: "Don't worry, that's not me, except for your body, I'm not interested in other bodies for the time being." ”

"So, what's going on with him?"

"I'm here to introduce, this is my brother, Chida!"

......

In addition to the name, Chi You did not reveal more information about Chi Da, and Chi Da, who 'came back from the dead', followed Qiao Ximing and became the user of another blank name post.

For three days, Chida did not make a sound, like a mute.

"Boy, boy, why are you still stunned, continue to climb the tower!"

Qiao Ximing withdrew his consciousness from Chi Da's body, and then shook his head: "I'm not busy, I still have something to verify." ”

Chi You was stunned: "What else is going on?"

With a faint smile, Qiao Ximing didn't answer, he closed his eyes directly, and the whole person immediately turned into fire and disappeared from the first floor.

"Got the second level of the challenge?"

At this time, the silent Chi Da on the side raised his eyes to look at the place where Qiao Ximing disappeared, and his face, which had not changed his expression, actually frowned, and muttered hoarse and low to himself.

After a moment, he shook his head: "No, that's ......"

Before he finished speaking, a flash of fire flashed in front of him, and Qiao Ximing's figure appeared in place again, and his big expression disappeared immediately, returning to his wooden appearance.

Looking down, a flame number floated out of Qiao Ximing's chest again—six, nine, nine, seven, two.

"Sure enough!"

A smile appeared on Qiao Ximing's face, which made Chi You in the dantian can't help but ask, "What's the matter, why didn't you enter the second layer?"

"I didn't pass the trial of the second layer, so naturally I won't enter the second layer. ”

"Didn't pass?" Chi You's conscious tone was filled with surprise: "Then you ...... just now"

"What I just entered is the first layer of the illusion trial!"

"Didn't you already pass? Why...... Wait" Chi You suddenly paused: "Six, nine, nine, seven, two, you mean ......!"

"That's right, the cultivation time on each floor of the Wenwu Pagoda can be challenged repeatedly and thus accumulated!"

Looking around, most of the tens of thousands of fireball houses had disappeared, and it was obvious that time had run out, and all the trialists had also entered the illusion challenge on the second floor.

"When I was at the grassroots level, there was one thing I cared about about the rules that Taling said, and that was the opening time of the second part. Qiao Ximing was a little on his chest, and the number immediately turned into a fireball house to wrap him, and the situation inside was exactly the same as before: "Everyone knows that the four Wenwu Pagodas are ninety-nine stories high, and the tower spirit is divided into two parts with sixty-six floors as the boundary, and above sixty-six floors, the second part will not be opened until three months later." So, why? If the higher the tower level, the more difficult the trial, from this point of view, three months is not a short time, on the contrary, I think it is a bit long!"

"Grown?" Chi You asked rhetorically.

"Yes. Three months, that is, seventy-five days, based on the difficulty of the illusion trial at the first layer, the time of each trial is one hour, then the sixty-sixth layer is the trial time of sixty-six hours, that is, five and a half days, then there will be nearly seventy days left, and if one day of cultivation at each layer, plus the possibility of rest and failure in the challenge, the remaining seventy days is actually just right. ”

"Isn't that just right?"
