Chapter 540: The House of Talents
"It's a game of high-ranking people, and every eight to ten years, they give out a hundred copies of this treasure map, and as long as they can follow the treasure map's guidance to their destination, they will be rewarded."
Looking through the treasure map in his hand, Shi Chi Di's expression was slightly cold: "When you arrive at your destination, you can get the first reward, pass the test in the front yard, you can get the second reward, break through the corridor test, you can get the third reward, land on the Blood Lake Island in the middle of the lake, you can get the fourth test, defeat the guardian of the island in the middle of the lake, you can get the ultimate test." ”
"There are five tests?" Hu Zhebin looked excited, "Sounds pretty good!" ”
"I guess these rewards are only helpful for the Hades rank," Shi Chi Yan shook his head, "For those in high positions, it's just a game in their spare time, otherwise the destination won't be on the outskirts of the city, it should be located in the middle or inner city." ”
"Anyway, let's go over and take a look!" Zhu Chaoqun said softly, "Anyway, our task is only to find these locations, and if we want to explore specifically, it will still be the tasks of the next few batches." ”
Don't look at Zhu Chaoqun's list of heavenly pride, but in the final analysis, after all, they are still at the level of the Hades Monarch, and they can only be regarded as relatively large cannon fodder, so from beginning to end, their core task is to find these places with inheritance, assessment, and resources, and the specific task of cracking the ruins and accepting the test must be handed over to the Hades Emperor level behind.
Anyway, they had already crossed the stone bridge, and it was impossible to turn back, so everyone followed the guidance of the treasure map and headed forward.
After crossing the river, there is a roadway with complex and tortuous terrain. It is said that it is a laneway, but it is actually a thousand zhang wide, after all, blood path cultivators like to raise blood beasts, and the volume of blood beasts is extremely large, so even the peripheral lanes are extremely wide.
Along the way, they also encountered several blood corpses and blood beasts, but fortunately, Shi Chi's soul consciousness was always shrouded around, and every time he found something wrong, he immediately covered his whereabouts with illusions, so after all, there was no danger all the way, and he came to the destination smoothly.
The destination is located in the depths of the huge alleyway, at the end of a dead-end road, is a large-scale mansion, the front is a hundred feet high, the left and right doorposts are painted with dark green paint with dense strange patterns, and in front of the door there are eight carvings of human faces and insect bodies, only one hand and one foot, the appearance is strange, the facial features of the human face are hideous, the teeth are grinning, and it is not an auspicious thing at first glance.
Shi Chi Yan glanced at the eaves, and there were dense strips of intestines hanging under the eaves, even if the Divine Blood Emperor City had been sealed for thousands of years, the strips were still bloody, dripping with fishy droplets from time to time.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Shi Chi Yan frowning, Cheng Baihe asked.
"Looks like someone has already gone in." Shi Chiyan touched his nose and replied.
Shi Chi, who had mastered the avenue of life, clearly sensed the blood stains on the object, and it was clear that it still had inexhaustible vitality, in other words, it was just stained not long ago, not the blood that the city had dyed before the seal.
Hu Zhebin laughed and said, "The Divine Blood City is so big, I thought that until the Hades Emperor's army came in later, we wouldn't touch anyone else." ”
"Maybe it's someone from our Yin-Yang Sect," Qian Yixin smiled, "After all, we all chose the same direction to enter the city." ”
"I hope so!" Shi Chi Yan muttered softly, walked quickly to the door of the mansion, looked up at the plaque, and saw that it was indeed the name of the destination written in the treasure map, and then held up the treasure map, his face was slightly condensed, and read out the secret key in the map, "Vladimiso!" ”
Airplanes! At that time, the moment Chi Yan finished reading the secret key, the eight human-faced insect body sculptures in front of the door all trembled slightly, and they heard a clicking sound, and cracks appeared on the surface of their skulls out of thin air, and when everyone looked at it, they found out what kind of cracks they were, and they were clearly blood-colored pupils one after another.
"It's disgusting!" Seeing the dense eyes, Cheng Baihe couldn't help frowning.
Shi Chi Yan also felt slightly uncomfortable, and at this time, the eyeballs on the sculpted heads turned together, and they all looked over, almost instinctively, Shi Chi Yan raised the treasure map in his hand.
Swish! In an instant, those pupils shot out blood-red beams, accurately hitting the treasure map, and as the rolling blood light poured into it, the originally simple treasure map was suddenly filled with a large amount of glow, and wisps of iron painting golden hook-like handwriting gradually emerged.
"Pass the first level test, and one person can get a bottle of Xuanying Blood Essence ......"
As soon as Shi Chi Yan read out the contents of those handwritings, he saw the eight statues suddenly open their mouths and spit out a cloud of blood, and flew in front of the eight people with a roar.
Shi Chiyan stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and sure enough, he took out a crystal bottle from the blood light in front of him, the transparent bottle contained blood-red liquid, which was mixed with wisps of ice-white flocculent sediment, which looked like impurities at first glance, but in fact it was wisps of Xuanming ghostly energy.
"A whole bottle of Xuanming Blood Essence," Zhu Chaoqun weighed the weight of the crystal bottle in his hand, and his delicate eyes contained a bit of joy, "It is about three or two, whether it is used to refine weapons or temper the body, it has an excellent effect." ”
"Make a fortune!" Kong Qixin hid the crystal bottle with a look of fascination, and said happily, "I didn't expect that there would be such a good reward just by going to the door, if you pass the next few levels, maybe the reward will be richer!" ”
I found that several people were full of joy, but Shi Chi died inexplicably sinking in the bottom of his heart, for some reason, Xu was the reason for mastering the insight avenue, he always felt that there was some kind of crisis in the mansion, but if he was asked to sense it carefully, he didn't find it at all.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Chi Yan gathered his mind, secretly ran the only avenue, carefully washed his body, and made sure that it was okay before slowly walking into the mansion with the treasure map.
Crossing the threshold, what greeted Shi Chi's eyes was a wide front yard, with countless dark green locust trees planted in front of the vermilion courtyard walls on both sides, and a huge formation was set up in the central clearing, which was filled with thick blood-colored smoke, and a bloody corpse loomed in the mist.
"It seems to be the second level test," Shi Chi Yan secretly operated his soul sense, analyzing the reality in the formation, and frowned, "Which of you understands the formation?" ”
Seeing that several people looked at it, Zhu Chaoqun smiled helplessly: "I don't understand." ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Why don't you even look at me? Kong Qi shook the feather fan unhappily, "Have you forgotten my family's bloodline?" ”
Cheng Baihe's eyes lit up slightly, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes! Your Kong family's bloodline is supernatural and the five-color dark light is nothing but nothing is brushed, fast! It's up to you whether we can pass the test or not! ”
With a triumphant smile at a few people, Kong Qixin put away the feather fan and walked quickly to the blood array, fortunately, he also knew the danger here, and he was not careless, but raised twelve points of vigilance.
Seeing that Kong Qixin was gathering momentum for a long time, five fan-like beams of light suddenly appeared behind him, covered with countless spots like eyes, with the flow of his dark power, those eye-like spots were all dark light, and then this dense eye-like spots opened together, and thousands of five-colored dark lights roared out, like a tidal wave brushing forward the blood array.
Silently, at the edge of the blood array, the illusory formations that formed the formation gradually shook and slowly disintegrated under the wash of the five-colored dark light, and the blood-colored smoke in it also quietly overflowed and slowly dissipated.
Staring at the five-colored dark light that washed back and forth like a tide, Shi Chi Di's eyes were slightly awe-inspiring, this is the bloodline supernatural power that the peacock clan relies on to become famous, the five-colored light!
Whether it is the Peacock King in the Buddha Realm or the Nine Shadow Sparrows in the Ghost Realm, its five-colored light has the wonder of brushing all things.
At this moment, he can sense more than seven Dao rhymes such as annihilation, disintegration, chaos, and smashing with his insight into the Great Dao, and this is only the Dao rhyme that comes with the bloodline, even if Kong Qixin does not perceive these Great Dao, he can easily use his bloodline supernatural powers.
At the same time, when the five-colored dark light source continued to pour into the blood array, Kong Qixin's expression gradually became a little solemn from the initial relaxation, and as time passed, his face slowly became pale, and even a little frightened.
Seeing that seventy percent of his spiritual power had been consumed, but he still only disintegrated a few areas on the edge, Kong Qixin couldn't hold back his anxiety and shouted: "It's over, this blood array energy is too huge, I can't finish it!" ”
"You stand back!" Shi Chiyan also realized that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly signaled everyone to retreat, picked up a female disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall and stepped forward, grabbed Kong Qixin and dragged him back, and threw the female disciple forward.
Rumble! The moment Kong Qixin was pulled away, the five-colored dark light that had lost the follow-up energy maintenance immediately dissipated, and the blood array that had been washed away for a long time also seemed to bottom out, and the rolling blood light rushed out from the disintegrating place, drowning the female disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall.
As the blood swept through, the female disciple's miserable howl that had only time to let out came to an abrupt end, and the flesh and blood of the whole person melted, the bones were shattered, and the soul was already scattered in an instant.
"What a fierce array!" Shi Chi Yan muttered and put down Kong Qixin, completely ignoring the resentful gazes of Zhang Xin and the two girls next to him.
"It seems that you can't take advantage of it, you can only force it!" Qian Yixiao sacrificed the shadow blade, and the madness in his eyes grew, "I'll try it first!" ”
"Cousin, beware!" Qian Yixin said in a low voice.
Qian Yixiao waved his hand disapprerovingly, and then swept into the blood array.
Shi Chi Yan hung a wisp of soul consciousness on Qian Yixiao's body, and took advantage of the gap between his entry into the formation to silently operate the three avenues of insight, falsehood, and truth, and then the blood mist gradually "thinned" in his field of vision, allowing him to barely see the situation in the formation.
In the blood array, there stood a full one hundred and eight bloody corpses, each of which exuded the bloody power of the half-step Hades Emperor, and the rich blood shatter turned into wisps and overflowed, condensing into chains like gangqi out of thin air, wrapping around the surface of the bloody corpses, thus increasing their defense and strength in turn.
At this time, seven bloody corpses had already formed a formation and stepped forward, attacking Qian Yixiao, who had just entered the formation.
They didn't know that this place was in the ancient years, when the Scarlet Empire was still at its peak, but it was extremely famous, and it was the best way for the common people to rise and build momentum.
This mansion, named Vladimiso, means the Mansion of Seeking Talents, and there are more than 1,600 of them in the Divine Blood City, evenly distributed in every neighborhood on the periphery of the city.
All those who come with a treasure map in hand and can pass at least three levels of testing will have their identities passed to the desks of the leaders of the major forces in Divine Blood City.
Even, if you can pass the five levels and defeat the guards of the last island in the middle of the lake, you can even get the emperor's summons and get a huge number of rewards.
