Chapter 174: Into the City
On the endless plains, the weeds are withered and yellow, the bones are everywhere, and the occasional breeze blows, showing desolation.
In the center of the plain, there is an intersection that stands out, and where a group of people are gathering at the moment.
When the sun was setting, Leng Han and others arrived here.
In the crowd, Zhuge Ming was talking to several students about his experience with an exaggerated face, but at this moment, a group of people not far away attracted his attention.
"Damn, he didn't die!"
When he saw the appearance of the two leaders, Zhuge Ming was immediately furious.
Because that pedestrian is Leng Han and Pang Xuan who have just walked out of the snowy mountain.
"It's really fateful, so you can't die. ”
Hearing this, the arrogant young man next to him also cast his gaze, and frowned at the moment.
"Zhuge Ming, you are so angry when you see that Lao Tzu is not dead, Lao Tzu can't die, you come to bite me!"
Not far away, looking at Pang Xuan, who was looking at Zhuge Ming's angry gaze, laughed.
Hearing this, Zhuge Ming's face was pale, but he didn't dare to attack, there were three groups of people gathered here, it was impossible for them to fight, not to mention that beside the other party, there was the kid who gave him a headache.
Seeing this, Leng Han smiled bitterly, Pang Xuan usually looks quite stable, but this time it is estimated that he was miserable, so he was furious.
Ignoring the provocative gaze of the two, Leng Han walked towards the back of the crowd, a young man who was meditating.
If he was not mistaken, this man was their leader brother.
"Senior brother. ”
Although he is already an elder, here, the other party is the head, so Leng Han has to lower his posture.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Leng, you can call me Tan Lin. ”
When he opened his eyes, when he saw the cold cold, the young man was stunned at first, and then smiled.
"Senior brother, are you injured?"
However, Leng Han didn't care about the other party's words, but looked at the other party's somewhat pale face and frowned.
Although the other party seemed to be fine, with his soul power stronger than the other party, Leng Han sensed that the heavenly power in the other party's body was messy.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Tan Lin smiled bitterly: "There are so many people present, no one can see that I have been injured, I can't imagine that you can, no wonder you will become an elder." ”
"Senior brother won the award, and I also found it by accident. ”
The other party's gentle attitude made Leng Han feel good, and his mind changed at the moment, and he asked, "Senior brother, how did you get hurt?"
Hearing this, Tan Lin's face became solemn, and he said, "I encountered a strange fish that can fly in the Heishui River, if it weren't for my soul technique, I'm afraid I would have died in it." ”
Speaking of this, Tan Lin showed a palpitating expression.
"What, you also met that strange fish that can fly?" Leng Han said in surprise when he heard this.
"Do you mean ......?"
"Well, I met it too. ”
Seeing Leng Han nodding, Tan Lin recalled: "According to previous records, there are no creatures in the Heishui River at all, and even the last time I came here, I never heard of anyone who had seen creatures in the Heishui River. ”
"But this time, not only is there been, but it also appears in large quantities, it seems that something must have happened to this Ten Thousand Swords Ancient City. ”
Speaking of this, Tan Lin's face became solemn.
Seeing him like this, Leng Han raised his eyes to the sky and asked, "How long will it take to go to the Ten Thousand Swords Ancient City?"
No matter what happened to the Ten Thousand Swords Ancient City, they had to go, and they had no choice, so how long it would take to arrive was the question that Leng Han was considering now.
"Not necessarily. ”
Tan Lin said: "The roads we took in front of us are safe, and the next ones are the deadliest, if it wasn't for a senior brother who rescued me last time, I'm afraid I would have died before I reached the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Swords." ”
Seeing that what he said was so serious, Leng Han also showed a trace of solemnity, but in order to obtain the blood condensation fruit, even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he had to break through.
After all, the Blood Condensation Fruit is the fastest shortcut to advance to a soul mage, and if you want to break through by meditation alone, you don't know if it will take the Year of the Monkey.
"And when are we leaving?" asked Leng Han again.
"Three days later, three days later, whether everyone is here or not, we will all go. With a slight groan, Tan Lin said.
Hearing this, Leng Han didn't continue to talk to him, walked to a nearby open space, and sat down.
Their senior brother who led the team was better than he imagined, but now that he was injured, the strength of their group weakened a lot.
Three days were fleeting for sword cultivation.
It's just that in the past three days, Leng Han and the others have not had an easy time, they are fine during the day, and at night there are often all kinds of strange insects and monsters attacking them.
Fortunately, although everyone was meditating, their vigilance never relaxed, and although some people were injured during the confrontation, there were no deaths.
When fighting against the demon beasts, Leng Han also met the leader of Pang Xuan's group, who was also a young man, but that young man seemed to be closer to the arrogant young man of Zhuge Ming's group.
The two often stood together and chatted, which made Pang Xuan very unhappy, but there was no way.
Three days later, Leng Han and the others began to advance towards the depths of the plain.
In the process of walking, they encountered more than a dozen waves of demon beast attacks in a row, and many people died.
And because Tan Lin was injured before, in the process of fighting with the demon beast, one of his arms was directly bitten off by the demon beast, which greatly reduced his strength again.
However, the two groups of Zhuge Ming and Pang Xuan were not much better, although the two leaders did not break their hands and feet, they were also seriously injured.
Five days later, when Leng Han and his group of more than 40 people, after passing through the steep peaks and crossing the terrifying cracks, they finally saw their target this time, the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Swords, in a wide plain.
With his gaze, he saw that in front of the plain, a bronze giant sword that was a hundred zhang long and straight into the sky stood straight, and on the bronze giant sword, there were four ancient and vigorous characters, the ancient city of ten thousand swords.
Behind the bronze giant sword, there was a desolate ruin with no end in sight, and at this moment, everyone's eyes were sweeping over this ruin.
The dilapidated ancient stone gates, the huge stone pillars carved with strange monsters, and the walls made of jade, everything can make people imagine what kind of prosperity it was in ancient times.
However, no matter how prosperous the ancients were, everything has disappeared into history.
"Senior brothers, what you see now is the Ancient City of Ten Thousand Swords. ”
Suddenly, Tan Lin pointed to the ruins in front of him and said to everyone: "Don't look at this ruins is very quiet, but I can clearly tell you that every time you enter the sword cultivators here, the most die here." ”
"Hiss......"
Hearing this, all the students gasped, they really couldn't believe that this was the ruins of an ancient well without waves, and it would be a fierce place.
However, Tan Lin ignored everyone's surprised expressions at all, and pointed to an ancient hall in the center of the ruins that was still relatively intact and said, "Our target this time is the ancient hall in the center of the Ten Thousand Swords Ancient City. ”
"Senior brother, is the Blood Condensation Fruit inside?" one of the students couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Tan Lin smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy to get the Blood Condensation Fruit, entering the ancient hall is just one step." ”
"Not bad. ”
At this time, the arrogant young man of Zhuge Ming's group suddenly said: "On the ground of that ancient hall, there is an ancient formation map, and if you want to obtain the blood condensation fruit, you must first condense the formation map above, so as to sense with the formation map at the other end and enter the blood pool." ”
"Only by entering the Blood Transformation Pool can you see the Blood Condensation Fruit, which is why you are allowed to enter the Formation Diagram Hall for the test. ”
The arrogant young man continued: "In the past, when spirit mages entered here, they were all condensed on the spot, but that was an extremely time-consuming thing, and there was a possibility that they would be attacked by unknown creatures in the middle. “
"Therefore, in order to reduce unnecessary dangers, I asked you to wait to enter the main hall of the formation map, the purpose is that after you have experience, it will be much easier for you to condense. ”
"I see. When they heard this, they understood.
"Okay, in order not to make the target too obvious, three groups of people, separate from the three wind directions, and finally meet in the ancient hall. ”
The words fell, and the arrogant young man directly led Zhuge Ming and the others in another direction.
Seeing this, the two groups of Leng Han and Pang Xuan did not hesitate, and also walked towards the Ten Thousand Swords Ancient City from two different directions.
Leng Han They didn't enter through the main entrance, according to Tan Lin, entering through the main gate could easily attract the attention of the ancient sword cultivator's revenant.
When they heard the words Gu Jian Xiu's Soul Cultivator, everyone was startled, and later learned that Gu Jian Xiu's Soul was condensed after Gu Jian Xiu's death.
Although this divine thought is extremely small, it can also threaten the spirit mage, of course, it is not only this ancient sword cultivator who can threaten people, but also other unknown creatures.
Leng Han and the others entered from the middle of a ruined house, and the moment they walked into the Ten Thousand Swords Ancient City, Leng Han could clearly feel that a strong murderous aura came from inside.
"It's so murderous. ”
Secretly said in his heart, Leng Han didn't dare to be careless, his soul power was urged to the extreme, and the Dragon Soul Sword was also summoned by him and held it in his hand.
As soon as the situation is not right, he will act immediately.
"Be careful, everyone. ”
At this moment, Tan Lin, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly raised his hand and stopped.
Scanning the surroundings cautiously, Tan Lin's face suddenly became solemn, obviously, he also sensed the murderous aura.
Now, there were only twelve people left in their group, including him, and losing one of them would greatly reduce their strength, so he had to be careful.
"Hey, what's that?"
At this moment, one of their students suddenly saw a shining purple stone next to him, and he bent down with a curious face to pick it up.
"Don't touch it. ”
Seeing this scene, Tan Lin hurriedly shouted.
"Woo!"
But it was too late, and as his voice fell, he saw that as soon as the student approached the stone, he was instantly pierced through his body by the purple light on it, and as soon as the scream was issued, it turned into ashes in the shocked eyes of everyone.
"Don't let anyone touch anything here without my permission. ”
Seeing that this student died, Tan Lin said to everyone with a sad expression.
Next, from time to time, everyone will encounter some strange things, but they are just looking, and no one dares to move.
"Senior brother, look, there seems to be someone somewhere?"
But when they walked forward dozens of steps, a student suddenly pointed to the center of the desolate street and said to Tan Lin.
Hearing this, Leng Han and the others' eyes instantly cast towards the center of the street.
As he looked around, he saw that in the center of the street not far away, a middle-aged man wearing ancient clothes and holding a bronze ancient sword was facing away from them.
