Chapter 160: Entrance
The essence on the body of the deputy courtyard master of Qinghua converged back, and he turned into an eighty or ninety-year-old woman again.
She said to the ten young students sitting on the back of the griffin: "There are many extremely powerful brute beasts living in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, and some of them, even if I encounter them, they can only escape. ”
"The more you enter the depths of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, the more powerful the brute beasts you encounter. In the future, if you enter the Heavenly Demon Ridge to practice, you must not go deeper, for you, there are many forbidden areas in the Heavenly Demon Ridge. ”
The griffin flapped its wings and continued to fly in the direction of the Red Sky Secret Mansion.
Half a day later, we came to a barren area.
It is said that the human army fought with the four-winged earth dragon and turned this land into ruins, and there is still no grass to grow.
In the underground, a huge canyon thousands of meters long and two hundred meters wide has been cracked, straight down, bottomless, like the mouth of the earth, which can swallow everything in the world.
Standing on the edge of the canyon and looking into the ground, it was pitch black, and only wisps of black miasma could be seen, coming out of the ground.
At the edge of the canyon, a narrow stone staircase is carved out, leading down to the depths of the earth.
It is said that the underground is the lair where the four-winged earth dragon once lived, the Red Sky Secret Mansion.
When the deputy master of Qinghua took the ten students of the West Courtyard to the top of the canyon, the students of the East, North, and South Courtyards were all already standing on the edge of the canyon.
The deputy courtyard master of the Eastern Courtyard laughed coldly and said, "Deputy Courtyard Master Qinghua, your Western Courtyard is too late, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
The deputy head of Qinghua pinched the wooden staff, staggered in footwork, and said: "On the way here, I met a Xuanjiao, and I was a step late. ”
The deputy head of the Eastern Courtyard said, "According to the old rules, the order of entering the intermediate ruins must be in the order in which we came here. Therefore, this year, the students of the West Academy are ranked fourth. ”
"No problem!" said the deputy courtyard master of Qinghua.
The first to come to the mouth of the canyon were the students of the Eastern Academy, so the students ranked tenth in the Eastern Academy were the first to enter the intermediate ruins.
The tenth-ranked student in the Eastern Academy is Dugu Lin.
Dugu Lin stepped on the stone staircase leading to the underground, performed his body technique, and quickly rushed towards the underground.
About three minutes later, standing at the edge of the canyon, Dugulin was no longer visible.
The tenth-ranked student of the North Academy also entered the canyon and rushed to the ground.
This was followed by the 10th ranked student of the Southern Academy.
When the tenth-ranked student of the Southern Academy also disappeared underground, Zi Qian, the tenth-ranked student of the Western Academy, walked towards the underground.
Students who take the Intermediate Ruins Exploration Exam must go underground one by one. Moreover, the students with the lower rankings go first, and the students with the higher rankings go in later.
The reason why it is in this way is actually to avoid killing each other among students.
After the low-level students go in first, they can immediately go to the depths of the Red Sky Secret Mansion, or hide it.
If a high-level student goes first, he may wait at an entrance to the underground and kill the low-level student behind him.
Xun Guihai stood among the students in the Eastern Courtyard, staring at Zhang Ruochen with cold eyes, not hiding the killing intent in his eyes at all, and was very angry in his heart, "Zhang Ruochen, what if you are engaged to the Yanchen County Lord? As long as you die in the Red Sky Secret Mansion, the Yanchen County Lord will already be my woman by then." ”
He glanced at Guo Haidong, the fifth-ranked student in the East Courtyard next to him, and said in a low voice: "Guo Haidong, you entered the Red Sky Secret Mansion before Zhang Ruochen, you can wait for him underground, once he enters the Red Sky Secret Mansion, you must kill him at all costs." ”
Guo Haidong got the five drops of half-saint true liquid given to him by Xun Guihai, and had promised to help Xun Guihai kill Zhang Ruochen.
Guo Haidong smiled confidently and said, "Senior Brother Xun, I am the 874th master of the "Xuan Bang", and it is definitely easy to kill Zhang Ruochen. ”
Xun Guihai said solemnly: "You must not be careless, although Zhang Ruochen's martial arts realm is not as good as yours, his sword intent realm has reached the peak of the sword walking with his heart." If you find that you are not Zhang Ruochen's opponent, try to hold him back, as long as you wait until Langxin arrives, the two of you will be caught between the front and back, and Ning Xiaochuan will be unable to fly. ”
Xun Guihai glanced at Langxin, who was standing beside him.
Langxin nodded and said, "Zhang Ruochen actually dared to rob Senior Brother Xun's woman, that is against our Eastern Courtyard." ”
Langxin ranked fourth in the Eastern Courtyard, and ranked 580th in "Xuan Bang".
Duanmu Xingling stared at the students in the Eastern Courtyard, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he reminded: "Senior brother, after you enter the Chikong Secret Mansion, you must be careful of Guo Haidong and Langxin in the Eastern Courtyard, they are both Xuanbang martial artists with extremely strong strength, and one enters the Chikong Secret Mansion before you, and the other enters the Chikong Secret Mansion behind you." If the two of them join forces against you, it will be difficult for you to escape. ”
Zhang Ruochen followed Duanmu Xingling's gaze and happened to see the two young students standing beside Xun Guihai and recorded their appearances. He said, "It will be quite dangerous to enter the Red Sky Secret Mansion, Senior Sister Duanmu, you should also be careful." ”
At this moment, Guo Haidong, who ranked fifth in the East Courtyard, walked towards the mouth of the canyon, and before going down the stone stairs, he glanced at Zhang Ruochen, his lips hooked slightly, revealing a cruel smile.
Immediately afterwards, the fifth student of the North Academy and the fifth student of the South Academy also entered the canyon one after another, and finally, it was finally Zhang Ruochen's turn.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen walked to the edge of the canyon, he felt a little dizzy, which was a sign of poisoning.
The miasma in the canyon is very powerful, but fortunately, Zhang Ruochen wore a poison avoidance bead on his body and blocked most of the miasma. Otherwise, even if he just inhaled a mouthful of miasma in his body, Zhang Ruochen would faint on the ground due to poisoning.
Zhang Ruochen mobilized the Jade Pure True Qi and ran in the meridians for a week, immediately purifying the poisonous gas in his body and recovering it.
Casting the footwork of resisting the wind and flying dragon shadow, Zhang Ruochen's speed reached the fastest, like a spirit ape jumping on a dangerous cliff, rushing towards the ground.
There are only three minutes, and after three minutes, Langxin, the fourth master of the East Courtyard, will enter the ground.
If Guo Haidong, the fifth master of the Eastern Courtyard, was really waiting for him underground, then he would have to get rid of Guo Haidong within three minutes. Otherwise, once he was attacked back and forth by the two Xuanbang martial artists, it would be quite unfavorable to Zhang Ruochen.
Although Zhang Ruochen was sure to defeat Guo Haidong and anyone in Lang's heart, who dared to guarantee that they were not carrying a killing move?
Once you enter the Red Sky Secret Mansion, any means can be used, and it is not as simple as a simple competition.
The canyon was extremely deep, and Zhang Ruochen ran down the stone ladder for more than 1,000 meters, but still did not reach the ground.
Standing underground, it was pitch black all around.
Zhang Ruochen looked up, and the mouth of the canyon, which was originally thousands of meters long, became only the size of a needle's eye, emitting a faint white light. It feels like a pitch-black night sky, with a tiny white crack in it.
gives Zhang Ruochen the feeling that now he is like being swallowed by the earth, and he will never see the light of day again.
If you have poor psychological quality, at this time, you will feel extremely frightened and even collapse.
Zhang Ruochen looked down, and deep underground, a dark red appeared, and a wave of heat surged.
"If there are really a lot of evil people and demons who are imprisoned underground, it is indeed quite a torture thing for them.
Zhang Ruochen brought his true qi to his eyes and continued to rush towards the ground, the temperature in the air was getting higher and higher, and the rocks were also very hot.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen bought a Cold Essence Ice Spirit in advance and hung it around his neck, Zhang Ruochen not only did not feel the heat, but was also very cool.
I don't know how deep I reached the ground, but when I finally came to the bottom, a huge stone door appeared in front of me.
The stone gate is 130 meters high and 27 meters thick, and the surface of the stone layer is inlaid with black iron, forming the form of an iron dragon.
The two huge stone gates, which weigh an unknown number of thousands of catties, have now opened a two-meter-wide gap.
Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm on the stone door, turned his whole body's true qi into action, and pushed hard.
The stone gate does not move at all.
"It's such a heavy stone gate, it is estimated that only the Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouse of the Wushi Academy Palace can push the stone gate forward. ”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the gap in the gate that was only two meters wide, his eyes condensed slightly, and he became cautious.
"Space-Time Realm!"
Zhang Ruochen released the space-time domain, covering a space of eighty meters in radius, and with the help of the power of the space-time domain, he explored whether Guo Haidong was hiding behind the stone gate.
A moment later, Zhang Ruochen detected Guo Haidong's breath in the realm of time and space.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Snow Dragon Sword, dragged the long sword, and walked towards the stone gate.
"Boom!"
As soon as Zhang Ruochen stepped into the stone gate, a crimson spear, with a scorching wave of fire, stabbed Zhang Ruochen's back.
Zhang Ruochen had already prepared, his body ejected, and he easily dodged the attack of the spear.
He jumped five meters high and stabbed Guo Haidong in the neck with a sword.
Guo Haidong felt a chill on his neck, his face changed, he immediately withdrew his spear, and quickly shot back, narrowly dodging a sword stabbed by Zhang Ruochen.
After dodging this sword, Guo Haidong was still a little frightened, and secretly said in his heart, how did he know that I was hiding behind the stone gate?
Zhang Ruochen withdrew the Snow Dragon Sword, stared at Guo Haidong, and said, "That sword just now is a warning to you, if you still want to kill me, I'm welcome!"
Guo Haidong carried the spear, put away the horror just now, and recalled what Xun Guihai told him, if he couldn't defeat Zhang Ruochen, he would drag him first, and wait until Langxin arrived, and with the strength of the two of them, they would clean up Zhang Ruochen together.
Guo Haidong smiled slightly, bowed his hand, and said: "It is worthy of being the first freshman in the Four Academies, and the martial arts cultivation is admirable." Actually, I just want to test your cultivation, and I don't really want to do it. ”
Zhang Ruochen couldn't see Guo Haidong's intentions, and said: "If you don't give up, I promise you that you will not be able to get out of the Red Sky Secret Mansion alive." ”
Seeing Zhang Ruochen's eyes, the smile on Guo Haidong's face also disappeared, although he was afraid of Zhang Ruochen's swordsmanship, but he also had hole cards. Even if he is not Zhang Ruochen's opponent, holding Zhang Ruochen for a few minutes is definitely possible.
