The bottom of the pool is very large, and Zhou Zheng is not blindly looking. He dived down to the bottom of a corner of the pool, then stretched out his arms and swam diagonally. In this way, the pool is artificially divided in two. When he reached the bottom of another corner on the opposite side, he first searched for one side of the pool, first searched the half of the diagonal side with his hands and feet, and then went to the other half of the area to search.

It looked clumsy, but it worked out wonderfully, and he was lucky enough to get the key in less than two quarters of an hour.

After coming up from the water, he did not rush to open the door, but sat leisurely by the door, waiting for the water stains on his body to dry before putting on his clothes and unlocking the door.

Stepping through the doorway, a sea of fire appeared in front of him. The area is about the same size as the pool in the first level. And at the end of the sea of fire is also a door, but it is a stone door. There are no iron cables on the top of the stone gate, only a circular hole.

It seems that finding an object that can be embedded in the stone door in the sea of fire is also equivalent to finding a key.

Zhou Zheng couldn't help frowning. Do you want to jump into the fire and sink to the bottom of the sea like the first level to grope for?

Although several of the participants in this competition are all immortal-level cultivators, they are not afraid of such harsh dangers as the sword mountain and the sea of fire. However, now that they are all imprisoned in their cultivation, even if they swim through the sea of fire and water with their rock-solid quenching bodies, they will not be able to get killed, but their clothes, eyebrows, and hair will definitely be burned bare. Even if you pass this level, you will be embarrassed and laugh at you!

Zhou Zheng's current armored body would not be afraid of this small sea of flames, but he would never allow himself to break through this level without slipping away.

He looked around carefully, and slowly found that in the midst of the fire, there was a looming reef at a short distance that led to the opposite shore.

He had just wanted to get up and jump, when he suddenly stopped.

It's never going to be that simple!

Zhou Zheng looked at the sea of fire again, and suddenly found that these reefs with only one spire exposed, although they seemed to be placed in a disorderly manner, but if you carefully looked for the pattern, you would find that their distribution was like a few stars in the night sky.

I see! Zhou Zheng suddenly realized!

The key was not hidden in the fire at all, but somewhere on the other side. Those who pass the level not only have to cross the sea of fire, but also need to step on the corresponding stars before the key will appear.

After straightening out his thoughts, Zhou Zheng locked his eyes on the reef again, and finally saw a road in the fire composed of the Big Dipper winding to the other side!

That's you! Zhou Zheng immediately stepped on the first star, and stepped on the second star vertically. When he crossed the fire safely, a stone box suddenly spat out from the edge of the stone gate, and a cylindrical disc that matched the hole in the stone door was placed inside.

Insert the cylinder into the stone hole, turn the disc, and the stone door will open in response.

After that, after seven levels in a row, Zhou Zheng finally passed all of them without danger.

When he reached the tenth level, it turned out to be an airtight stone room, and as he crossed the threshold, the stone door behind him suddenly disappeared, leaving only a thick stone wall.

What Zhou Zheng didn't expect was that there were more than one person in the stone room! Shengdong, Pushi, and one of Long Fei's subordinates.

Of these three people, Shengdong was injured, and the injuries were not light. Long Fei's subordinates were even more miserable, bare and hairless monsters, with only a few leaves on their bodies covering their private parts.

On the contrary, it was a pumice stone, except for some tearing of the robe, the body was fine.

The three of them were all surprised when they saw Zhou Zheng walking in unharmed.

"I've seen Zhou Zheng Zhenjun!" Shengdong hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"You are..."

"My name is Shengdong, and Archmage Shengfang is my uncle. Uncle often praises Zhenjun with me, and Shengdong has been admiring Zhenjun for a long time! It's an honor to see you today! ”

"Don't dare! Can't! You and I are the same age, I call you Brother Shengdong, you can call me Zhou Zheng. ”

Shengdong is not a hypocritical person, and readily agreed. "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey! Brother Zhou Zheng, what are your first few levels? ”

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was puzzled, Shengdong hurriedly explained, "I think so, there are twenty bridges, each bridge has eighteen levels, it is impossible for all levels to be different, the levels of each bridge may be in different order, or the degree of difficulty may be different, but there will definitely be a large number of repeated levels." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded happily, "Brother Shengfang and I have thought of a piece!" Even if the Qingluan clan has a lot of money, it is impossible for every bridge to be a brand new level! That not only costs a lot of money, but also takes time and work! It's not cost-effective for a family recruitment competition!

Do you want to exchange information with each other, so that we can prepare in advance for the next levels, and it will be easier to get through? ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant!"

"So, them?" Zhou Zheng pointed to Pumice and another person.

"They? Are they all your competitors? How can information be shared with them? "Shengdong is extremely opposed.

"Aren't you and I competitors?" Zhou Zheng looked at Shengdong with a smile.

"Of course not! I've always regarded Qingyun as my sister. The reason why I participated in the competition was to prevent Qingyun from not finding the person she liked, so that she could choose me first and have a way out! ”

Zhou Zheng knew for the first time that Tang Yun's real name was Qingyun.

"So, why are you helping me?"

"Because you're the one Qingyun has been waiting for!"

What Shengdong said was reasonable, but Zhou Zheng didn't know how to explain it for a while. He bowed deeply to Shengdong and thanked Shengdong for his kindness.

"Brother Shengdong Gaoyi, admire below! It's just that, I think, we've only made it through nine levels, and if we can brainstorm ideas, maybe we'll get more information, and it will help us get through the remaining half of the levels! Brother Shengdong, what do you think? ”

Shengdong thought about it for a long time and felt that this made sense, but he was still worried, "What if, they don't tell the truth?" What about deliberately making up a level to trick us? ”

Zhou Zheng also thought of this, he pondered a little and thought of an idea.

After communicating with Shengdong, Zhou Zheng raised his voice at the pumice stone.

"Two brothers,"

As soon as Zhou Zheng said a word, he saw the stone wall on the opposite side turn into a stone gate, and then, Long Fei staggered and fell in.

Long Fei looks much more miserable! His clothes were tattered and covered in blood, and a missing piece of his left arm was still bubbling with blood.

The slick subordinate hurriedly ran over to help Long Fei stop the bleeding.

Zhou Zheng saw this situation, and simply didn't mention the matter first, thinking that it would not be too late to wait until all seven people arrived. So, Zhou Zheng pulled Shengdong to find a corner to sit down and started a homely routine.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Zheng and Shengdong had already taken turns sleeping, but they still didn't see Long Fei's other two subordinates arrive. At this time, Long Fei, who had already recovered, couldn't sit still for a long time, and was irritable looking for an exit in the house.

Zhou Zheng felt that the timing was good at this time, so he revisited the previous topic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I thought that each of us might have a lot of repetition in the level," and then he explained his and Shengdong's analysis to everyone in detail.

"I think if there are people who are willing, we can share information, exchange ideas, and prepare for the next level! What do you think? Is there anyone willing to share information about the first few levels? ”

What Zhou Zheng didn't expect was that Long Fei was the first to respond.

"I do! However, after I tell my level, how do I know if the level you are talking about is fooling me? So, Zhou Zheng, you have to say it first, you all have to say it first, and I'll say it last! ”

Shengdong immediately jumped out, "Why should we say it first?" What if in the end, you fool us? ”

"I can swear!"

"Pull it down!" Shengdong pouted, "Who doesn't know who you are?" Even if you curse you to die, I don't believe it! ”

Long Fei was furious and immediately wanted to go up and make a move with Shengdong, but was stopped by his men. Long Fei also knew that he was not the opponent of Shengdong and Zhou Zheng at this time, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and stood aside angrily.

Zhou Zheng didn't care about Long Fei, but looked at the pumice stone, "This brother, what do you think?" ”

"Me?" Pushi hesitated for a moment, "I'm willing to share too, but I also have concerns. ”

Zhou Zheng laughed, "It's natural to have concerns!" As long as everyone is willing to share information, there is a way to dispel this concern! ”

"I want to hear about it!"

"My son wants to hear it too!"

"Good! Now there are five of us, and each of us has passed nine levels. Let's each talk about the level first, and the latter can't be repeated with the previous person. In turn, the first person in the first round will be the last person in the second round, and the second person in the first round will become the first person in the second round.

I think that's how the rankings are. Because Brother Shengdong and I have communicated before, we are counted as a group, Long Fei Gongzi and his subordinates as a group, and Archmage Pumice as a group.

I'm the first to say it first, then Long Fei, then Pumice, then Shengdong, and finally, what is Brother Tai called? Xiong Hong, well, you as the last one in the first round said.

There are five of us, and we have already beaten nine levels. Therefore, starting from the last person in the second round, that is, me, if I can't say a different level, I will automatically quit and have no right to participate in the subsequent sharing. And so on!

In this way, if we are lucky, we may be able to calculate all eighteen levels. Even if there are no eighteen courses, a few more will be a good thing for us! Of course, if we are really unlucky, the first nine levels that everyone breaks through are the same, it can be regarded as our acquaintance and strengthen communication and understanding! What do you think? ”

Pushi felt that it was fair, and Long Fei had no objections, so everyone reached an agreement and began to share their level information in turn.

Zhou Zheng was the first to say that he was talking about the sea of fire, and after he finished saying that he could find the key by stepping on the Big Dipper and crossing the other side, the man named Xiong Hong stomped his feet regretfully.

He also saw the reef, but he chose it at random, and after a few steps, the reef he had just stepped on suddenly sank into the sea of fire, and he fell into the sea of fire with him. When he finally swam to the other side, he couldn't find the key. So, he guessed that the key might be in the fire.

He swam in the fire more than a dozen times but did not find the key, his beard and eyebrows were all burned, and finally he simply chose to open the door violently. Unexpectedly, the stone box containing the key was punched out of the crooked beating, and he was able to get out of trouble.

Zhou Zheng spoke and drew a map of the distribution of the Big Dipper from memory for those who have not encountered this level to watch and remember.

Then there was Long Fei, and the level he said happened to be something that Zhou Zheng had not experienced. That level is an upside-down five-element array arranged by a high-grade magic weapon, which is ever-changing and unpredictable. Long Fei didn't find the trick until the end, but unfortunately, at that time, his left forearm had been cut off.

In the end, Long Fei also said the trick of breaking this formation.

The third is pumice, and the level he refers to is a large labyrinth of tall trees. Zhou Zheng has never experienced this level.

According to Pushi, this level seems to be not dangerous, but it is actually full of dangers. There are two kinds of poisonous floral fragrance in it, one can cause people to be nervous, panic, and finally can't bear it, and they will kill themselves! The other will unconsciously make people fall into a sweet dream, and eventually become a delicacy for thousands of dryads.

The secret to beating this level is to hold your breath and quickly pass through the maze. Pumice also drew a maze diagram.

Then down is Shengdong, the level he said Zhou Zheng has experienced, there is a road full of organs, there are a total of forty-nine stone slabs under his feet, stepping on one wrong will attract rolling wood thunder stones, ten thousand arrows in unison, he was injured in that road. And the key to passing this level is to accurately step on the nine stone slabs according to the order of the heavenly stems and the earthly branches.

The Holy East marked the location of the nine stone slabs.

The last one is Xiong Hong, who is talking about the level of the pool.

After a round, Zhou Zheng was overjoyed. If the guess is right, the eighteen levels are really the same, and with the secret room they are now trapped in, they have now found twelve.

In the second round, Long Fei was the first to say. It's a pity that the level he said Zhou Zheng has experienced.

Then, there is the pumice stone, and the level Zhou Zheng he said has also experienced.

Below are Shengdong and Xiong Hong, who are also talking about what Zhou Zheng experienced.

Zhou Zheng was a little lost, and he also said a level.

Then it's time for the third round. If the five of them overlap well in the first nine levels, this will also be the last round!

This round of pumice stone ranked first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if this level I'm talking about is one level or two? Because, there is no door at the first level. To be exact, the door is unlocked. ”

Then Pumice Stone talked about what had happened to him. The level he played was a chessboard with an endgame in black and white.

However, it took him half an hour to break the game. Later, I accidentally pushed the door, but found that the door was unlocked, and opened it in response.

Then, he entered a large iron cage. There's a giant fox inside.

There is no way to take a trick in this level, it all depends on the level of strength. Pumice stone is all based on a strong physical body (sua

He was tired and lay on the ground and couldn't move, so he took the key from the mouth of the fox and opened the iron door to clear the customs.

"Archmage, how many levels have you beaten in total?" Zhou Zheng may be a professional habit, and he is more serious about details.

"If this counts as two levels, a total of nine levels, then come here."

"How many? Have you ever been in a situation where two levels are combined into one? ”

Several people shook their heads.

"Zhenjun has found something wrong?" For his own breakthrough, pumice stone is still very attentive.

"I can't see it now, but it's weird. Brother Shengdong, it's your turn. ”

"Okay!"

The next one is Shengdong, he said a level, which happened to coincide with Zhou Zheng's, so that when it was Zhou Zheng's turn, he would take the initiative to leave the discussion of sharing information.

Then there was Xiong Hong, who actually offered a new level, which surprised Zhou Zhengda.

"Just now the pumice stone archmage said that he didn't know if he had experienced one level or two levels, and I didn't know if it was a level or not. It's that after I walked into the fog, I was ready to break through. But the fog was so thick that I couldn't see anything. I groped my way along the cable of the bridge. Walk, walk, walk, wait until I pass through the thick fog to find that there is a door behind me, and I stepped through! Even the fog level is also counted as nine levels. ”

"And this good thing?" Long Fei was jealous when he heard this.

"I don't know! I just heard Zhou Zhengzhenjun say that everyone has broken through nine levels, I just thought about it, if I add the top level, I am nine levels, otherwise, I am eight levels! ”

"Did you two have a similar experience? Have you two encountered such bizarre levels as Pumice Stone and Xiong Hong? Zhou Zheng was amazed, and couldn't help but ask Xiang Shengdong and Long Fei.

"Nope!" Both shook their heads at the same time.
