() The person who shouted was still Huang Tianyuan.

"What's wrong with you?" Dongfang Zuo looked back at him impatiently.

"As the saying goes, 'A snake can't do without a head.'" If the eight of us are scattered, I think it would be better to fight on our own. Huang Tian said from afar.

Dongfang Zuo shook his head and sighed: "You are really troublesome!"

"I agree with that. Since they are companions, they have to choose a leader, after all, everyone has just met, and there is no tacit understanding at all. "Ximen Temple Road.

Dongfang Zuo said nonchalantly: "This is easy to do, I will be the leader." Just listen to me. ”

Huang Tianyuan said with a smile: "Hehe, Dongfang brothers can be 'generals', but they can't be 'handsome'. The leader must be smart and wise to be competent. ”

Dongfang Zuo scratched his head: "Then what do you say?"

"If you are not familiar with each other, how can you talk about talents. I think it's better to choose the strongest person as the leader. "Ximen Temple Road. Among the three people with the highest realm, Beitang Ying is the most inconspicuous, and his image is not on the same level as the 'leader'. He didn't seem to have any intention of being the leader, and stood silent in the dark.

Ximen Temple glanced at Beitang Ying and said to Huang Tianyuan: "Huang Daoyou, although you and I are equal in strength, but you are a foreigner after all, I think the sword skills of the children of the four major families are better." ”

"Brother Simon, I have no intention of being the leader. But you're not the best candidate either. I propose that Xiao Tianhe be the leader, how about it?" Huang Tianyuan proposed.

"Me?" Xiao Tianhe was surprised.

Dongfang You immediately objected: "No, no, no, he is also in the early stage of the cave." Why can't he be when he can be?"

Ximen Temple frowned, for some reason, he felt that the name "Xiao Tianhe" seemed a little familiar. "I don't think it's appropriate, although you are old acquaintances, his realm is not as good as yours. Instead of him being the leader, it's better for you to be the leader. ”

"Realm cultivation is only one of the criteria for assessing a person's strength. Brother Xiao's demon cultivation time is less than twenty-five years, and anyone with this kind of talent and understanding has to admit that he is a strong man, and I sigh to myself for this alone. In terms of realm, everyone is empty, and instead of using the slight gap between the middle and early stages as the condition for choosing the leader, it is more appropriate to decide with the qualifications that are more different. Huang Tian said from afar.

Dongfang Youyi clapped his hands: "Oh, it turns out that you are the demon cultivator of the Nangong family in the rumor!

Ximen Temple also looked at Xiao Tianhe with admiration: "I have also heard about Xiao Daoyou, and it really deserves its reputation, and it has reached the realm of the senior group with the number of years in the junior group, which is amazing! I have no opinion on Huang Daoyou's proposal!"

"We agree. Dongfang Zuodao.

"Agreed. Kitado Hawk replied simply.

"This ......" Xiao Tianhe frowned slightly, in fact, he was reluctant in his heart.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xi and I are actually the most vocal about your wisdom, but if we nominate you, they may not be convinced. But now that everyone agrees, you don't have to excuse yourself. Nangong Wei also persuaded.

"That's good. Since everyone looks up to me, then I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obey. "Xiao Tianhe, "Everyone knows the characteristics of the knife skills of the four major families, and I will try my best to coordinate the scheduling, and I hope everyone will cooperate." ”

Beitang Ying suddenly said, "Let me make a statement first. I will only help others when I still have the strength to spare, and I will never care about other people's affairs when it is difficult to protect myself, or when it is clearly a situation of death. ”

Xiao Tianhe nodded at him. "Sure enough, how could these people from the four major families be able to complete their efforts? Brother Huang, Brother Huang, you have given me a problem!" he sighed in his heart.

"You can always go in now, right?" Dongfang Zuo couldn't wait.

Xiao Tianhe waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Eight mermaids burst through the white gate. When the gate disappeared from the surface, the man in black was gone.

A dazzling white light flickered blindly, and when it gradually dimmed, everyone found themselves on a vast platform. The surrounding area was filled with smoke, and the edge of the platform could not be seen. Only three feet ahead, there is a stone staircase that descends. It was pitch black below, and I didn't know how deep the stairs were.

Xiao Tianhe looked at the width of the stone steps and said to everyone, "Brother Huang is at the front, and Ximen Daoyou is at the end." The two Oriental Daoists are one on the left and one on the right, and the other four are in the middle. ”

"I'll come to the queen of the palace. "North Hall Eagle Road.

"Yes. "Ximen Temple Road.

"That's good. It was dark below, and everyone was on guard with knives in case of sudden danger. Xiao Tianhe instructed.

The eight of them lined up in formation and slowly walked down the stairs to the depths.

The colorful magic knife glow faintly illuminated the surroundings, and the sides and the walls overhead were bare, nothing. After about dozens of steps, Huang Tianyuan, who was walking in the front, suddenly stepped on an inconspicuous convex brick, and made a "click" sound, before everyone came back to their senses, in an instant, ten thousand bright candles were lit together, and the lights in front were bright, as if it was day.

The stairs have come to an end. In front of it is a row of earthy yellow walls, with only one entrance, and from a distance, there are several forks in the entrance, and the walls are intricately taught.

"Labyrinth!" came to everyone's mind.

"It seems that some kind of mechanism was touched just now, and the candle was lit. Fortunately, the walls of the labyrinth are also lit by candles. Huang Tianyuan rejoiced.

Ximen Temple asked: "What should I do? There are many forks in the labyrinth, are we divided or combined?"

"Yes, of course it's a match. It's safer when everyone is together. Nangong Xi said.

"The test of the Fengyun Conference is definitely not as simple as walking through the maze. I think there must be all kinds of dangers in the labyrinth. Walking together is more time-consuming, but it's certainly more certain than being separated. "Xiao Tianhe," However, if someone doesn't want to wander around the maze with everyone, they can also choose other paths by themselves. ”

Walking the maze is a matter of chance, in an unknown and dangerous situation

Below, it is obvious that it is wiser not to separate.

The entrance is very narrow, only allowing two people to be side by side, Xiao Tianhe and Huang Tianyuan are the lead, followed by the two brothers from Dongfang, the two brothers from Nangong, and finally Ximen Temple and Beitang Ying.

As soon as you enter the labyrinth, you are faced with a choice of four intersections, one to the left, one to the front, one diagonally to the right front, and the last to the right. The four forks are all generally wide and narrow, and there are forks in the road.

Choose the intersection to the left, and after a few steps, you will encounter the next fork in the road, and continue to choose to go left.

In this cycle, everyone walked for a long time, not only did they not get out of the labyrinth, but they didn't even find a dead end. This shows that the many forks in the maze are connected end to end, and everyone may have been going around in circles.

Dongfang Zuo was the first to lose patience: "Hey, I said the leader, it's not a way to go down blindly like this, go around and around, can you still tell the direction now?"

Xiao Tianhe replied: "The direction is no problem. Suppose we first walked into the maze in the direction of north, then we are now facing east. I use the tip of the knife as a point, and every time I cross, I adjust it. So we didn't go around in circles in the general direction, we always went northeast. This only means that the size of the maze is more than we expected. ”

"You're pretty smart. Dongfang Zuo has nothing to say.

Ximen Temple walked to the wall and touched it, it seemed to be some kind of stone, he raised his knife and slashed at the wall.

A crisp sound echoed in the labyrinth, and the people in front of them all turned around, and the hands holding the knife in Ximen Temple were actually trembling, and the left hand was cracked, but there was no trace on the wall.

"It's useless. If it can be easily destroyed, what is the point of the Demon Lord laying out this labyrinth?" Huang Tian said.

"We've thought about your method for a long time, but we didn't try it because we didn't think it worked. You see, you're injured in vain, right?" Dongfang Zuo's tone was a little gloating.

"That's it, it's good if you don't break your knife!" Dongfang Yu also sarcastically.

Ximen Temple didn't bother to be angry with people like the Dongfang brothers, so he snorted coldly and followed the team.

The crowd continued to walk for several hours, but still did not get out of the labyrinth.

"Brother Wei, why do I feel so tired? It's just less than a day, and my back is sore and my legs are numb. Nangong Xi rubbed his knee with his hand and asked in a low voice.

"Me too. Nangong Wei's aura was a little messy.

Dongfang Zuo in front of him turned his head and looked at the two of them when he heard this, and said loudly: "It turns out that I am not the only one who has this feeling! Leader, I ask to take a break before leaving!" Without waiting for Xiao Tianhe to answer, Dongfang Zuo and Dongfang You sat on the ground with their butts, even the giant knife was aside, and they were panting with their backs against the wall.

The people behind all stopped, and Xiao Tianhe and Huang Tianyuan had no choice but to stop.

Everyone put away their weapons, and everyone's palms were drenched in sweat. Everyone feels the same way - tired!

Xiao Tianhe didn't forget to make a mark when he put away the Heavenly Enemy Knife to identify the direction. Huang Tianyuan half-squatted, propped up on the ground with one hand, and looked at the cookie-cutter wall opposite. The brothers of the Dongfang family were uncomfortable leaning against the wall, so they simply lay down and seemed to be about to fall asleep. The two members of the Nangong family sat cross-legged opposite each other, quietly pranayama. Ximen Temple tore a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes and carefully wrapped it around the wound at the tiger's mouth. Beitang Eagle stood against the wall with the magic knife in his arms, thoughtful.

The eight people in the Cave Void Realm have only been walking for most of the day, and they are actually exhausted, and I am afraid that they will be laughed at when they say it.

After everyone rested silently for half an hour, Xiao Tianhe suddenly said: "It's not good, this maze is weird!"

Dongfang You opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Tianhe: "It's been so long since you've been gone, you just know!"

"It's really not right, we've all been resting for half an hour, do any of you feel like you've regained your strength?" asked Huang Tianyuan.

Ximen Temple said: "Not only did I not recover, but I was more tired." ”

"We've been in the maze for most of the day without encountering any danger, which is not normal. With our Cave Void Realm, our physical strength is so poor, and I am getting more and more tired after resting, which is unbelievable. Nangong Wei said.

Nangong Xi stood up: "You can't stay here for a long time! This magnificent labyrinth, I'm afraid it will continue to absorb and consume our physical strength, and if we stay for a long time, we may never be able to get out!"

"You have to keep going. About an hour ago, the path of the maze changed, and although I still preferred the northeast branch, there were fewer and fewer roads in this direction, and the general direction had gradually changed to southwest. I feel that the labyrinth is leading us around its center, and perhaps the way out is there. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"What the northeast, southwest, it's all your guess. Without a map, we're just rambling around. In my opinion, we didn't understand the secret of the labyrinth. I suggest we go back to the entrance and think of what to do outside before coming in. Dongfang Zuodao.

"Oh, you agreed to let me be the leader, but now you refuse to obey my command. Again, if you want to act alone, it's up to you. Xiao Tianhe continued to move forward.

"Do you remember the way back?" asked Dongfang You.

Dongfang Zuo was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

Dongfang You slapped Dongfang Zuo on the back of the head: "Then what nonsense are you talking about!

"I'm not just suggesting, if he doesn't accept it, forget it......" Dongfang Zuo muttered quietly and obediently followed.

"Everyone must speed up the pace, every moment of physical strength is quietly slipping, if we don't get out before we collapse, we will definitely be trapped in the maze!"

The terrifying labyrinth has finally lifted its hazy veil and revealed its true face of danger.

Since there was no other danger, everyone was always carrying their weapons. Sure enough, as Xiao Tianhe expected, the speed of physical exertion is amazing, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid it will not be long before it will reach its limit.

"No, I can't carry it anymore!" Dongfang Zuo untied the giant knife and tied it to his back with his belt

After dragging away. Seeing this, Dongfang You also concocted the same method. This is indeed a lot easier, but the sound of the giant knife grabbing the floor is too harsh.

Nangong Xi complained dissatisfiedly: "I said you two, a little bit of morality, okay? This noisy sound makes people feel more tired when they listen to it!"

"Dead eyes, can't you plug your ears and you're done?" Maybe because of tiredness, Dongfang Zuo didn't have much to say.

Xiao Tianhe turned his head and shouted: "Don't make any noise! The direction of the maze has changed again, we can't go on like this anymore, everyone urges Xuanli to use the body method!"

Huang Tianyuan was surprised: "Brother Xiao, it doesn't seem appropriate to use Xuan Li on the road, right?

Xiao Tianhe shook his head: "Look at everyone's condition, they are all exhausted and out of breath, and if we continue at this speed, I'm afraid our physical support will not be able to reach the end." Although it consumes Xuan power, it can save some physical strength, and if it is really not possible, you can also take the pill to restore Xuan power. ”

Nangong Wei said: "I also agree, even if the Xuan Power is full when danger comes, it is in vain if the physical strength is exhausted." ”

Xiao Tianhe said with a smile: "The children of the four major families are all proud of their own clan's sword skills, I don't know how to compare them? After speaking, he recited the mantra in his heart, the wind was under his feet, and he rushed out first with the "Dragon Swimming Body Method".

"Haha, interesting!" Huang Tianyuan laughed loudly, put his hands behind his back, and followed like lightning.

The six children of the four major families in the back all praised: "Good body method!"

"Unexpectedly, foreign people also have such a mysterious body, and we also let them open their eyes. Third brother, let's go!" Dongfang Zuo and Dongfang You pulled their belts and dragged the giant knife back to their backs, and strode closely behind Xiao and Huang.

"How could the Nangong family's 'Tenghui Body Method' lose to the Dongfang Family's 'Sun Chasing Body Method'?" Nangong Wei said proudly, keeping pace with Nangong Xi.

The last Ximen Temple said to Beitang Ying: "Beitang Daoyou, let me see if the Beitang family's "Luoxia Body Method" is really as powerful as rumored. ”

"Hmph, at least it's stronger than Simon's 'Flying Rain Body Method!'" Beitang Ying was not to be outdone.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and chased away.

The eight of them still went hand in hand in twos and twos.

The cadence of the Oriental Brothers is not high, but every stride is very large, each landing is very heavy, and the next plate is very stable.

The Nangong brothers were just the opposite, their legs had turned into a phantom, and the front and back hems of their robes were floating high under the rapid cadence, and they never fell.

The body of Ximen Temple is light, like stepping on flowers and grass, stepping on snow and riding the wind, the speed is extremely fast but leisurely.

The Beitang Eagle is like an arrow off the string and an eagle catching rabbits, and every time it kicks the ground, it can jump forward for a long distance.

The four major families have their own characteristics, and they are on the same footing.

The speed of Xiao Tianhe and Huang Tianyuan was almost the same, and they were even a few points faster than the six people behind. The characteristics of the two are similar, and they seem to be strolling in the court, but they are galloping. This couldn't help but surprise the children of the four major families. While admiring, they also firmly remembered the names of the two sets of body methods "Dragon Travel" and "Treading Void" from the conversation between Xiao and Huang.

Rushing by body is more than ten times faster than walking. The maze turned from southwest to north, and then turned east again. Judging from the fact that the time interval between each turn is getting shorter and shorter, Xiao Tianhe speculates that the central area of the labyrinth will not be too far away.

"It seems that the road is complicated, but it is the same way. Strictly speaking, this is not a labyrinth, but a long and winding road, and we don't know what dangers await us in the center of the road to which it leads. The Demon Lord laid this labyrinth with the intention of exhausting our physical strength, why is this?" Xiao Tianhe pondered.

Troublesome things followed. After two hours of rushing with his body, Xiao Tianhe found that the closer he got to the central area, not only the faster his physical strength was consumed, but even the consumption rate of Xuan Li was unbearable for everyone. If you don't use the body method, the speed is too slow, and if you use the body method, the Xuan Li will not be able to support it for long. The situation we are facing now can be described as a dilemma.

When he saw that everyone took out the Nayan Dan and was ready to take it, Xiao Tianhe sighed and persuaded, "There is no need to take the Dan." The Demon Lord meant to test our physical strength. The more Xuan Power is restored, the more it will be consumed, which is a burden on the body. Everyone resumed walking and stayed the course. ”

After walking for a few more hours, everyone was exhausted.

Dongfang Zuo said breathlessly: "But, hateful, since the construction ...... After building the foundation, I, Lao Tzu, have never, never been so tired!"

Even at this time, Dongfang You did not forget to mock his brother: "Look at your ...... Like, with a big mouth, sticking out his tongue, panting, drooling, and a dog...... Dog-like!"

"You think, your ...... Bear-like, can you be better than me...... Where are you going?" Dongfang Zuo scoffed.

Ximen Temple reprimanded with tears and laughter: "Let's not say a few words, I actually have the strength to quarrel, and I am not tired enough?"

The two of them shut up, and the group moved forward in silence, only the sound of violent and chaotic gasps could be heard.

As time passed, finally someone couldn't hold it anymore. Nangong Xi only felt dizzy, his eyes were blurry, and he fell to the ground.

Xiao Tianhe turned around and said, "Take him away, the end should not be far away!"

Nangong Wei nodded lightly, picked up Nangong Xi, and continued to move forward.

It took more effort to carry one person, and it didn't take long for Nangong Wei to collapse to the ground top-heavy.

"Leave us alone, let's go......" Nangong Xi was angry.

Nangong Wei's face was pale, and he was covered in a cold sweat: "Let's ...... a little Rest for a while and catch up ......"

"No, stay here and die!" Xiao Tianhe said, "Brother Huang, help each other!"

Huang Tianyuan and Xiao Tianhe picked up one by one.

As soon as he took a few steps, there was a "poof", and someone lay on the ground again.
