Just as Xiao Tianhe and He Tianyao were speculating about why Wu Xunyang, the king of Dapeng, knew that they were coming to the Burning Heaven Palace, something that flashed in front of Xiao Tianhe's eyes caught his attention. He grabbed He Tianyao's wrist.

"What's wrong?" He Tianyao was puzzled by his actions.

Xiao Tianhe's gaze fell on the ring on He Tianyao's right hand, the middle palace ring.

He Tianyao's eyes widened: "Could it be ...... Is it because of this?"

"Brother Yao, you once said that after Jiang Taigong lifted the ban on the ring for you, the phantom of the Burning Heaven Palace appeared in your mind, and you also felt that something in the depths was calling you. ”

He Tianyao nodded.

"That means that this Middle Palace Ring must have a close connection with the Burning Heaven Palace!" Xiao Tianhe was very convinced.

He Tianyao scratched his head: "I also know this, but what does it mean?"

"I'm wondering, is the Middle Palace Ring also a treasure from the Burning Heaven Palace?" Xiao Tianhe boldly guessed.

"However, although this ring is a magic weapon, it clearly has no function!

Xiao Tianhe retorted: "If you can see the phantom, it means that it has touched your heart, is this not a treasure?"

"Makes sense. ”

"You say, could it be that Wu Xunyang only knew that we were coming to the Burning Heaven Palace because he saw the Middle Palace Ring in your hand, and then his attitude also took a big turn? ”

"Ah! Hearing you say that, it's indeed very possible!" He Tianyao thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

Xiao Tianhe paused, and continued: "It seems that the importance of this Middle Palace Ring is far beyond our expectations. Its caster may be the Lord of the Burning Heaven Palace? He is so powerful, how can he forge a small ring?"

"This ...... Hey, Mr. Ji once told me that this ring originally belonged to an old friend of his, could it be that that 'old friend' is the master of the Burning Heaven Palace?"

"Not necessarily. It's nothing new for babies to change hands repeatedly. That's it, it's useless to guess now, after all, it's not the last layer yet. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"We'll make it to the end. He Tianyao was unswerving.

"I hope so. I'm curious, what is it that summoned you?"

After another while, Hua Qingyu breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, and stood up. The poison and medicine have been dispensed, and most of the materials provided by Shang Xingjie have been consumed.

"You're welcome. Shang Xingjie said when he took back the materials.

"Although these things are precious, they are not rare, and after I leave the Burning Heaven Palace, I will return them twice. "Hua Qingyu said.

"No need," Shang Xingjie waved his hand, "Since you took it out, I'm not afraid of you using it." As a monarch, I can afford this little thing. I just hope that these things you have formulated don't disappoint us. ”

"This is no more time than before, and I have done everything I can. As she spoke, Hua Qingyu bit her lower lip gently.

Ye Linglong knew that she was uncomfortable, so she pulled her aside and comforted her softly.

"It's almost, Steward Meng, come out!" Shang Xingjie shouted up to the sky.

Steward Meng appeared by the gate and pushed it open.

Shang Xingjie asked, "What's the next floor called?"

"Dhara layer. Steward Meng replied.

"Dhara...... It's a murderous star again......" Shang Xingjie muttered and walked into the deep passage. Ye Linglong and Hua Qingyu followed. Xiao Tianhe and He Tianyao still did not forget to collect the patterned stone slabs on the stone platform before entering the gate.

The towers of the sky beams are dark and gloomy,

Hideous beasts devouring everything.

All methods are useless,

Sacrifice your life to break the golden body.

......

The narrow, dimly lit passage stretched in front of a group of five people. Compared to the passages on the previous floors, this passage to the sixth floor was too narrow, just enough for the two of them to walk side by side, and even if the swing of the arm was a little bigger, it would touch the cold wall. The passage is not only narrow on the left and right, but the space up and down is also very uncomfortable, and the top wall is a foot above the head, which makes everyone almost out of breath.

In addition, it was very humid in the passage. Not only was the floor wet, but the walls were also covered with a layer of moisture, and the top wall was dripping from time to time. The stuffy and damp environment, and there was no window ventilation, and after a while, several people were all sweating profusely. Strangely, this passage is so long that you can't see the light of the exit.

Finally, in the sound of heavy and monotonous breathing, He Tianyao spoke: "It seems that something is not quite right......

"Don't make a sound, slow down, and listen carefully for any unusual noises around you. Shang Xingjie, who was at the forefront, advised.

When in the dark, sight is far less important than hearing. However, apart from the occasional slight "clicking" sound from the dripping droplets, no other sound could be heard.

After a long time, Ye Linglong couldn't help but say, "How can this passage be so long, we have been walking for almost half an hour, and we haven't seen the exit yet!" After speaking, she wiped the beads of sweat from her face. The close-fitting clothes were already soaked, and it was extremely uncomfortable to stick to the body, but no one dared to expend the effort to dry the clothes at this time.

"I'm afraid...... We are already in the Dhara layer. Hua Qingyu guessed.

"Does anyone have anything to illuminate?" He Tianyao asked.

Xiang Zhongyang, who has a night pearl, and Jin Chanyu, who has gold and silver powder, are gone.

Hua Qingyu proposed: "Why don't you ...... Light a torch?"

"There is no oil, no sticks, what are you burning?" Ye Linglong said.

"Those are easy to do, it's just ......" Hua Qingyu wanted to say and stopped.

“

Babble, mother-in-law. Why don't you use the torch sooner?" Shang Xingjie urged impatiently.

"I'm afraid you don't want to! I can use your medicinal herbs to make oil, although it is not very burned, but fortunately, there is enough wood to make torches......

"What? you want to use my precious medicinal herbs as torches to burn?" Shang Xingjie was shocked and angry, "How long can you burn a torch?"

"As I said just now, if I use the cloud branches as torches without burning, the single root is too thin and not easy to ignite, so I have to tie up about fifty cloud branches with strips of cloth and then ......."

"Don't say it!" Shang Xingjie interrupted, "I feel distressed when I hear it! Cangyunzhi was collected by me after hundreds of masters searched for decades in the snowy forest, and then it had to go through a long and careful drying and baking, and the final high-quality finished product was only that. But you're going to burn fifty at once, no, no!"

"Look," Hua Qingyu said helplessly, "I knew you didn't want to." ”

"Let's continue to move forward in the dark, life and death have fate, and each fight for luck!" Xiao Tianhe deliberately excited, "I thought that the four of us at the Liangyi level had the lowest strength in the team, and we should be the first to fall, but it turned out that all the masters died in front of us, it seems that the luck of the low hand is still quite good, right?"

The other three "low-handed" echoed in unison.

Shang Xingjie's temples hurt when he heard this, and he was the only one left with the master, he gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, it's all things outside the body, take fifty and burn them!"

"Uh...... Dajun, Cangyun branch is not easy to ignite, the amount of oil I can make is not too much, and it is not burned, so ......" Hua Qingyu swallowed and spit again.

"Getting to the point!"

Hua Qingyu took a deep breath: "Because of the above reasons, the torch will not be very bright, more like a very thick incense, if you want to achieve the brightness of the ordinary torch, you need at least five or six one.asxs." ”

"Five, six?" Shang Xingjie suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Hua Qingyu shrugged: "I can't do anything better!"

"Alas...... Let's get it, let's get it!" Shang Xingjie shook his head and sighed while covering his heart.

"Okay!" Hua Qingyu immediately got busy, and it didn't take long for the torches that were six arms thick to be made. She lit five of them, leaving one for spare. Every time he lit a torch, Shang Xingjie had to sigh a pity.

The torches were not very bright, but the light of five torches was barely enough. After the torch was lit, He Tianyao first lifted one up and took a picture of the situation before and after, but who knew that when he took this photo, he was suddenly terrified, his hair stood on end, and he was almost so frightened that his soul flew.

Not far behind them, there was a large, strange worm! it was black and fleshy, filling the passage, and there were circles of pale blue lines on its body, reflecting a faint light in the light of the torches. The bugs were moving forward in a drum, without making a sound. Looks like it's been with everyone for a while.

If the body of Jin Chanyu, the golden and silver silkworm, gives people a sense of harmonious beauty, then this insect gives people the feeling of horror.

The two girls screamed and hurriedly retreated, not daring to take a step closer to the insects.

"What is there to fear of a worm that can't even see its mouth!" Shang Xingjie pulled out the fairy sword, "Look at me sending it back to the West!" The words were impassioned, but he didn't dare to step forward easily, but sent out a sword aura from afar.

The sword qi successfully hit the giant insect, but the giant insect was unharmed, except that the blue stripes on its body shone from front to back.

"Huh?" Shang Xingjie frowned, his sword qi was obviously not resisted by the giant insect, but as if a mud cow had entered the sea, it disappeared suddenly. In disbelief, he shot again one after another, and two sword qi flew out.

The weirdness is still there. The giant insect shook its head and seemed to be quite "enjoyable". Two dark blue eyes rolled out of their folds, staring at the crowd.

Everyone could see it clearly, there was no shield, and there was no carapace, and the giant insect relied on the flesh to dissolve the sword qi.

"It's like...... It's getting bigger!" He Tianyao pointed at the giant insect and said in surprise. In fact, it is not easy to tell whether the giant insect has really become bigger, because it is originally a "fat head and big ears".

"Could it be ......" Shang Xingjie's mind flashed with an aura, "Let's try it with a sword wave and sword qi attack!"

A few people didn't know what he meant, but they did as he said. The sword wave and sword qi flew towards the giant insect, this time, the body of the giant insect was obviously bulging, and the "restraint" of the passage made it uncomfortable, and it made a "sizzling" sound from its mouth out of nowhere.

"This beast can actually absorb our power!" Shang Xingjie's guess was confirmed.

"And it can also grow with the help of power!" Hua Qingyu added.

"Whatever, it's stuck here anyway, let's just get out of here. "Xiao Tian Dao.

Everyone agreed with the suggestion, and no one wanted to spend a moment with the strange worm. A few steps after walking out, everyone turned back, and the giant insect remained in its place. After taking a few more steps, he looked back again, but the distance between the giant worm and the others did not increase, that is, the giant worm followed.

"It's not stuck?" Xiao Tianhe was a little surprised, but the scene in front of him was clearly that the giant insect was stuck and couldn't move.

"Keep walking, I'll stare at it. He Tianyao turned around and walked backwards.

After walking out for a distance, He Tianyao saw clearly, the giant insect was like an ordinary worm, stretching and elongating its body, and after the first half of the body moved forward, the second half of the body followed back. No wonder it can follow the pace of the crowd, and it only fills the passage when it stops.

Of course, it was not pleasant to be followed by such a terrible giant worm, and no one knew if it had any other "special skills".

"Run!" Xiao Tianhe made a quick decision. With torch lighting, the road ahead is no longer dark, increase your travel speed to get rid of the giant

Worms are the best way to go.

The five of them each used their own tricks, and in an instant, they threw the giant worm far away. Hua Qingyu deliberately left a torch in the distance to observe the movement of the giant insect.

Seeing a few people leaving quickly, the giant insect was also "not to be outdone", and used the wriggling method to drill forward again, only this time, it stretched its body longer and thinner, and the distance it advanced was even farther, and it still maintained a gap of a few feet away from everyone. The torch left behind was extinguished by the body of the giant insect, and Hua Qingyu silently lit the spare one.

"Ho! It looks like that guy is more than ten zhang long, to say the least!" Xiao Tianhe exclaimed. It seems that running is not the way to go. But at this time, the giant insect was chasing closely behind him, and everyone did not dare to stop.

He Tianyao complained: "What does this broken worm want to do?

"You can't kill it, you can't escape it. Ye Linglong said.

"Not necessarily!" Shang Xingjie took out a bone piercing nail, held it in the palm of his hand, looked back at the right time, raised his hand and threw it out, not to mention more than two dozen pieces, flying straight into the blue eyes of the giant insect.

The giant worm shook its head, and the nails hit the flesh with all the flesh. Its black skin was harder than armor, and the bone nail was actually shattered! Shang Xingjie was taken aback, if the skin and flesh were solid, it was not uncommon to bounce the hidden weapon open, but it was even powerful to be able to shatter the hidden weapon. Shang Xingjie estimated that even if he was the original gossip-level strength, he might not be able to easily break through the skin of the giant insect.

This is good, the sword wave and sword qi can't hurt, and the sharp weapon is helpless against it. The giant worm simply hid its eyes in the folds of flesh again.

"Sister Qingyu, release poison!" He Tianyao was in a hurry.

Hua Qingyu took out a medicine bottle and threw it back, the medicine bottle fell to the ground and shattered, and the poison pill spilled out of the bottle, the poison turned into a poisonous mist when it met with water, and the moisture in the channel just came in handy. In an instant, the white poisonous smoke blocked the giant insect. But the giant insect was fearless, and went straight through the poisonous smoke.

"I'll set up a formation!" Ye Linglong volunteered. In a hurry, she couldn't set up any complicated magic arrays, she set up a simple defensive array. The giant worm has not attacked since it appeared, and it happened to use the defense array to try it.

After the giant insect crashed into the defensive formation, it first "sizzled" and stopped. "Ha, it turns out that it really won't attack!" Ye Linglong was overjoyed, it seemed that the defense had worked. Instead of getting carried away, she immediately set about stacking the circle.

"Wait!" Hua Qingyu suddenly stopped Ye Linglong's movements, and then pointed at the giant insect. Ye Linglong looked up and found that the giant insect seemed to be "contending" with the magic circle. It rubbed its body against the shield of the anti-array, and the anti-array mask seemed to be getting thinner and lighter, and eventually, it burst like a blister.

Ye Linglong was dumbfounded. There are only two ways to destroy the circle: one is to destroy the eyes and gems of the circle, and the other is to forcibly destroy the circle with an attack that exceeds the upper limit of the circle's power. But it was the first time she had seen a giant insect that used its body to "grind" the magic circle away.

"The bugs seem to be getting bigger again!" He Tianyao exclaimed.

"The circle has been devoured by this beast. Shang Xingjie's face was gloomy, "Everyone, we are facing an extremely terrifying creature, not only does it have thick skin, but it also has an appalling and strange ability - devouring and absorbing power!"

What is devouring, the sword wave, sword qi and even the magic circle are all absorbed into the body by the giant insect, and what is absorption, the giant insect will grow its body with the help of the absorbed power. To put it simply, attacks with power will become the "food" of giant insects, while attacks without power will not help the flesh and skin at all. As Ye Linglong said before: kill, you can't kill, escape, you can't escape.

After the giant worm devoured the magic circle, it seemed to be very satisfied, and shook its head triumphantly to "show off its might" to everyone. After experiencing the danger of the "high but not topless" Tianliang Tower, no one dared to expect to reach the exit of this two-person wide and one-high passage soon. The giant worm seemed to know this, and it felt as if it had become the master of the narrow passage.

The narrowness of the passage was in stark contrast to the fatness of the giant insect, and Xiao Tianhe was excited and muttered: "'Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant'...... I've got a way!"

"Don't be stingy, attack as much as you want, and 'support' it with your strength!" Xiao Tianhe shouted.

"What?" said in unison.

"A few sword waves and sword qi have caused it to swell to such an extent, and under our full attack, it will inevitably swell even more. Even though its body can grow indefinitely, the size of the passage does not change, so in the end there are only two possible outcomes, either it will 'eat' and get stuck here, or it will destroy the passage. Either way, it's good for us!" Xiao Tianhe analyzed.
