Chapter Seventy-Nine, Road to Slime

readx;

Because the area around "Slaying Dragon Terrace" is inaccessible, the vegetation has always been luxuriant, with long grass and vines, entangled shrubs, and towering trees, and there is almost no way to walk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 However, it is strange to say that since the great changes in the heavens and the earth 1,300 years ago, most of the places in the Qingxuan World have become full of vitality, and the vegetation is naturally flourishing, while the plants around the "Dragon Slaying Platform" are increasingly withering and withering. People at the time said that those plants and trees were nourished by the demonic dragon's evil qi, and with the vigorous righteousness, the evil qi naturally retreated, so these vegetation that was accustomed to the evil qi was difficult to grow.

However, many tall trees have survived, and the long grass and shrubs have withered, but they still maintain their charred shape. It's just that this is just the style within a hundred miles, and when it is close to the "Dragon Slaying Platform" to within seven or eight miles, the soil is as red as blood, hard as iron, and not a single inch of grass grows.

This is a dead scorched earth, with the occasional boulder towering, making it difficult to see the "Dragon Slaying Platform" at a glance from a distance. Especially now, it is said that Suifeng has set up a maze with these boulders as the backing, but when you enter the formation, there is a thick fog and a violent storm, so it is even more difficult to discern the direction.

It's just that this fog and wind are tangible things after all, and Zhang Lu can see through them at a glance, and they are definitely not caused by illusion. If it is an illusion, even if he can't dispel it immediately, he can not be confused and lead his companions to find the target quickly, but if it is not an illusion, then he can only break through hard.

Li Yanchao and Tang Liyu were in front, with a double knife and a double fist, and the true qi exploded, as Tang Liyu said, the fog and fog dispersed, and the wind and wind breathed. It's just that the mobility of this dense fog and strong wind is very strong, and if one place is dispersed, the surrounding area will inevitably converge and replenish, and they can only barely open a way forward, and it is impossible to break through the maze by this.

Zhang Lu and Feng followed behind, separated by more than ten steps, each holding a long sword, concentrating on vigilance. Looking at the figure of the two companions cooperating tacitly, Zhang Lu couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, turned his head slightly to the side and asked in a low voice-

"These two...... When did it start?"

Feng suddenly snorted: "You can see it too." I guess I was teaming up with you for the first time, before and after going to Fengwan Villa, and shortly thereafter, these two came to the Liuyun Sect to visit me...... You said that I dragged one of them and visited the other, but this one of the sons of Xili and a young lady of the Tang Mansion should not go to one place according to reason. ”

Zhang Lu frowned: "The future is worrying......

Feng nodded and said: "It is impossible for Tang and Xili to marry, if the two families join hands, the entire Shuzhou is under control, I am afraid that even the imperial court will feel threatened...... I really don't know what to do. ”

"It mainly depends on Yan Chao, whether he 'doesn't love the country and loves the beauty', if he ruthlessly abandons the position of the son of Xili, there may be a glimmer of hope......"

"I'm really worried about them......" Feng said this, and suddenly frowned, and asked Zhang Ludao, "Why did you remember to talk about this now?

Zhang Lu pursed his mouth: "I thought of it temporarily, and I felt it." Nervous? Nervous, it's a big deal, you can't break the maze, as long as you don't bump into any demon dragon head-on, you shouldn't have to worry about your life. If the mission fails because of this, it is the will of God, and it is beyond the power of our people to reverse it, and there is nothing to be sorry about. ”

Feng suddenly thought: "You said, if we can't break through the maze and catch Suifeng, and summoning the demon dragon with Suifeng will also fail...... No, it's not a failure, it's a long time to delay, and a delay in making a decision, then we can't count it as a mission failure. Will you be forced to stay in this Xuanxuan world for a long time, or even ...... Become like you?"

Zhang Luxin said that the fart is the same as me, you really believe in the nonsense of the immortals who brainwashed and stayed in another world for a long time. But he said: "Then maybe, these two will be able to get what they want." ”

"If we erase our memories and don't know where they came from, will you and I still know each other?

Zhang Lu shook his head: "God knows." This is the so-called 'fate', where fate goes, it is estimated that even immortals may not be able to see cause and effect. ”

The two were chatting when they heard a scream in front of them, and then a huge monster suddenly emerged from the thick fog.

This monster looks so strange, it doesn't look like a plant or an animal, but it looks like it's made of rocks. At the top is a large orb, possibly a head, but without ear and nose, and below the orb is an irregular section of the body, protruding six or seven limbs, possibly an arm......

As soon as the monster appeared, Tang Liyu did not hesitate, and immediately punched it, and a protruding limb in the middle, like a stone limb, immediately burst, but then healed again, and at the same time, several other limbs smashed down Tang Liyu's head from all directions. Li Yanchao swung his knife to save him, and instantly cut off two limbs, and then the knife flashed, slashing the monster's head.

The huge round ball was actually cut in two by him, but it was merged again in an instant - if Li Yanchao's knife had not been cut, it would probably have been caught in the middle by the stone.

On the side, Tang Liyu's fist was like the wind, and the remaining limbs of the monster collided repeatedly, although he succeeded, it was like hitting the surface of the water, whirling and twisting. She couldn't help but take half a step back.

Zhang Lu and Feng hurried to catch up, attacking left and right. At this time, several monsters appeared around, some of them were like broken wood, some were like clay kneading and transforming, with different shapes, all of which were indescribably strange. To say that there is only one of the most normal, it is round and round, with a small tip on the head, and the body is translucent, as if it is a water drop that has been magnified countless times......

Zhang Luxin said that there is finally a name I can name - isn't this a slime?!

Immediately shouted: "All stand back!"

The companions didn't know why, but instinctively obeyed his instructions and stepped back and assumed defensive positions. Zhang Lu was alone in the group of demons, and he opened his arms apart, and the empty door was wide open. The monsters' countless limbs, tentacles, or unnamed attack organs all slammed down on Zhang Ludang's chest.

Everyone was shocked, and they were about to come to the rescue, when they saw Zhang Lu smiling slightly, and in the light wind, the limbs of those monsters actually passed through his body, as if they had just penetrated a phantom.

Immediately, Zhang Lu's tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he shouted: "Break!" saw that those monsters instantly turned into a thick fog, completely covering the road ahead.

Feng was shocked and asked, "What is the reason for this?"

Zhang Lu smiled: "It's just an illusion." ”

The maze is not an illusion, but the monsters that frequently appear in the maze are just phantoms, born from the inner thoughts of the intruders, and can even use the dense fog to truly condense into an entity - so Tang Liyu They punched and slashed, and the touch was no different. However, since it is an illusion, it is naturally difficult for him to be Earl Zhang, the true qi runs, and the mana is born, and it can be easily destroyed.

Immediately, Zhang Luzhu stood with a sword: "I understand." ”

"What do you understand?"

"The thick fog and strong wind are blinding, and the phantom monsters are confusing, in this case, it is naturally difficult to find the real 'Dragon Slaying Platform'. If you destroy these monsters, you don't have to fight them, ignore the wind and the fog, and just go straight, you should be able to reach your destination smoothly. ”

Ordinary people can't walk in a straight line with their eyes closed, or if there is no suitable reference in their field of vision. This is not only affected by external forces, but also related to the defects of the human body itself: the so-called external force is that the rotation of the planet will produce the geostrophic deflection force; as for the internal factors, no person's lower limb muscles are completely symmetrical, and when walking, the force is uneven, and a certain degree of deviation will naturally be formed.

Of course, for cultivators, they already have a considerable understanding of the laws of heaven and earth—although most of them know it but don't know why, purely empirical cognition—the control of their own muscles is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and they can even offset the deviations from inside and outside to a certain extent on the premise of closing all their senses. But what if you add to that the tornadoes that blow from time to time?

On top of that, the apparitions of the monsters appear from time to time, and the intruder will inevitably twist his limbs and deviate from his original direction when entangled with the monster - unless you can point at all the monsters and make them retreat.

As far as Zhang Lu guessed, the so-called maze was nothing more than that, relying on the formation of fog and wind to form phantom monsters, in order to confuse the intruder's mind and distort his senses.

Now that he knows that those monsters are just illusions, Zhang Lu can easily destroy them, and there is no need to fight or entangle with them, so this maze is equivalent to half of it. He suggested that the four of them line up and move forward in a straight line, and he was at the end, so that he could adjust the direction at any time using the principle of a two-point line with his companion in front of him.

"In case of thick fog and strong winds, you can make a move to clear it, and if you encounter a monster, you don't have to pay attention to it, face it head-on, and I will cast a spell to expel it in the rear. ”

Everyone followed Zhang Lu's suggestion and lined up in front of the moment. Tang Liyu wanted to be the first, but was pulled behind by Li Yanchao - the third is Feng Heran, and the last is Zhang Lu.

Sure enough, there were many monsters along the way, and Li Yanchao was also tenacious, as Zhang Lu said, he completely ignored them, and just treated them as if they were air, and moved forward in a straight line. Often he was almost a line away from the monster, and Zhang Lu's spell arrived, and the monster instantly turned into a thick fog - it couldn't help but make Tang Liyu secretly pinch a cold sweat.

However, there are exceptions, and in the middle of the journey, I suddenly heard Li Yanchao's "oops" - "Isn't this a phantom?"

Zhang Luxin said that if the wind hits his head on the stone, Li Dashao, you are such a thick eyebrow and big eye, and you have always been serious and silent, do you also come to make a cameo to be funny?" "This is a stone......"

But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame Li Yanchao, many monsters look like strange stones, who would have thought that there are still strange stones that look like monsters?

This stone protrudes from the surface of the ground to be more than one person high, craggy and strange, and it can be moved back to make a Suzhou garden...... The stone happened to block their way in a straight line, Li Yanchao immediately stopped and asked Zhang Lu, "Do you want to take a detour?"

"Don't—just shatter it!"

These strange stones are likely to be the so-called "array eyes", if they are detoured, it is easy to deviate from the original direction because of this, so Zhang Lu's countermeasure is - let's directly bombard the past!

Tang Liyu rolled up her sleeves: "I'll come!" The weight of this boulder is really not small, with Li Yanchao's ability, it may not be able to break it, but with a knife to split the stone, it is difficult to clear it in one or two strokes, and smooth the road. So Miss Tang thinks it's better to use my fists.

With a punch, the boulder did not move. But it was not the first time that Tang Liyu had swung a fist in this life, and she had accumulated a little experience, so she immediately retreated. Sure enough, before she retreated, the boulder burst directly from the center, and with a "boom", the gravel splashed, most of which were no more than the size of a fist......

Awesome, Zhang Luxin said that if the power of fighting is discussed, there is probably no one in this Qingxuan world who can compare to Tang Liyu, she may be a rare Yuanying master in martial arts cultivation for a hundred years. I don't know if I will feel lost when I return to the Tianyuan World and my skills will return to my original realm......

The boulder was shattered, and the four of them continued to walk, as if they felt that the dense fog around them had also faded slightly. Going straight like this, he touched more than two miles, destroyed dozens of monsters along the way, dispersed the wind and dense fog, and smashed a total of seven boulders blocking the way.

The dense fog and the wind obscured people's consciousness, but although this was not an illusion, it was also a consciousness attack after all, and Zhang Lu's resistance to this was undoubtedly the strongest among his companions. He gradually closed his eyes, didn't even listen or smell, and observed the things around him purely with his heart, faintly, he felt that the laws of heaven and earth seemed to be deflected again, and immediately stretched out his hand and pointed: "Soon, just ahead!"

Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a voice from behind me: "Who are you waiting for, who can get here?"

Zhang Lu shuddered slightly, and said ashamed in his heart - the direction is still a little off. Hurriedly opened his eyes, turned his head to look, and saw that the surrounding fog gradually dissipated, revealing a huge stone platform, on which a person stood high-

This is probably the legendary "Dragon Slaying Platform". I saw that this platform is purely made of large square stones, the stone color is white and translucent, probably white marble, but because of the age, there have been many weathering, peeling. The platform is divided into three layers, the lower two layers seem to be square, but the top layer is round, and each layer is about one zhang and four feet high. The side of the first layer is about ten zhang wide, the second layer is six or seven zhang wide, and the top circular layer is more than five zhang in diameter.

There is also a confession on the stage, covered with a bright yellow tablecloth, and the edges are painted with cinnabar. In the center of the case is an incense burner, with three sticks of incense, and light smoke curling - the thick fog that originally obscured the heavens and the earth seems to have diffused from this incense, and there is a bronze bowl on the left and right of the incense burner, and it is not clear what is inside.

As for the person standing at the back of the confession, he had a horse face, thin eyes and a high nose, a scorched complexion, and a gray beard - he did not comb his hair, his long variegated hair was casually draped over his shoulders, he had no beard under his chin, but there were two long mustaches on his lips that naturally drooped down to his collarbone. Zhang Luxin said why don't your brother comb his braids and wear a small hat, that would be very much like Fu Manchu in a Westerner movie...... Sure enough, with a treacherous face, he was born a treacherous horn!

But I saw that he was wearing a bright yellow robe, and the cuffs and placket were also painted with talismans, which seemed to be the same style as the tablecloth in front of him. But unlike other cultivators in this world, the cuffs are quite narrow, perhaps for the convenience of movement. Suifeng held the case in his left hand, and held a token in his right hand, with black and red letters, and a pointed handle on the handle, he looked at Zhang Lu and others: "You can break my maze, it's really not an ordinary person." I don't know what I'm doing here?"

"You're just following the wind?"

"The poor road follows the wind. ”

"You're casting a spell here, and you want to summon a demon dragon?"

"Nonsense, the dragon is in the sky, how can mortals summon it?!" (To be continued.) )
