After stepping on the trail, Xiao Tianhe looked back at He Tianyao again. He Tianyao nodded at him, and then he stepped forward. The narrow path feels the same as walking on the wall when I was a child, just falling from the wall will cause you to fall at most, and falling down the path will turn into ashes. The churning magma in the chasm made a dull "grunt" sound, and the heat wave after wave seemed to knock the people on the trail down. Even the bright and flickering color of the magma was a kind of torture for Xiao Tianhe, his eyes hurt after watching it for a long time, and he couldn't even see the road under his feet clearly, but he couldn't help but look down.

Enduring the discomfort of burning eyes, Xiao Tianhe entered the smoke area. The smoke was not as smoky as expected, and it was much more comfortable for the eyes because it blocked out the harsh lava.

Fortunately, the path under his feet could still be seen clearly, and Xiao Tianhe slightly quickened his pace. I don't know how long I walked, but gradually, the smoke turned from gray to white, and the heat from the magma also decreased a lot. It seems that the chasm is about to be crossed. Suddenly, in the faint smoke ahead, the eaves of a house were faintly revealed, and the path also came to an end, connecting to a clearing. "It's here!" Xiao Tianhe took three steps and made two steps, and trotted to the front of the house.

By the time they arrived, the smoke had cleared, and the hut in front of them was embedded in a cliff, with no other path on either side or other path leading to it. It seems that He Tianyao's previous hunch was right, each trail did not lead to the same place.

The hut had only one door, no windows. Xiao Tianhe held the magic knife in his hand, gently pushed the door, and the door opened with a "squeak". He didn't go in at once, but looked inside, and the room was empty, with nothing but three other doors on the inner wall.

Xiao Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the room. All three gates were closed, and there was still writing on them.

The gate on the left is red, and a line is engraved on it: "Exchange the souls of two for the armor".

"The souls of the two?" Xiao Tianhe muttered to himself, he remembered the situation when Zhao Xianglin's soul ascended to heaven and the corpse dissipated, "Does it mean that there are two people who will die?"

He shook his head and walked over to the yellow gate in the middle. The door reads: "Through the Martian layer." ”

"By the way, that Steward Meng mentioned that this layer is called the 'Martian Layer', and it seems that you can reach the next layer through this gate. Xiao Tianhe thought to himself.

The gate on the far right is green, and it reads: "Out of the Burning Heaven Palace." ”

"It's out of the Burning Heaven Palace again...... It seems that the builders of the Burning Heaven Palace don't want people to stay in it, so why build it...... Finally came in, who would want to go out?" Xiao Tianhe felt a little inexplicable at first, but he soon found something different from Steward Meng's inquiry, "Hey, this time it didn't say 'all the treasures will be returned'! ”

"It seems that the purpose of the narrow path was only to separate the people, and everyone would enter such a room with different routes. Xiao Tianhe speculated. The treasures obtained in the first layer - the earth tribulation layer are Jin Chanyu, You Xuantong and himself, "Me and Jin Girl will not quit, as for You Xuantong, he and You Xuanda are inseparable, and he should not quit." So the door on the far right is probably not going to be chosen. ”

Xiao Tianhe returned to the yellow gate in the middle. "To go through the Martian layer is to go to the next layer. Even if you can't get anything, you won't die in distress. Maybe someone will choose this door......"

He looked at the red gate on the left again. "Exchange the souls of two for armor. Xiao Tianhe read in his mouth, holding his cheeks and thinking about it. Although the words were simple, after careful thought, he realized that in fact, this door led to a very complicated situation.

There are now twelve of them, which means that ten of the twelve red gates are behind the "living road" and two are behind the "dead end". "If there happens to be two 'dead paths' that no one takes, will the other people who choose the 'living path' be able to safely reach the place where the treasure armor is?" As soon as Xiao Tianhe came up with this thought, his mind recalled the previous incident of the narrow path constantly changing positions, "No, it shouldn't be like this. The 'dead end' and the 'living road' are certainly not fixed!"

Based on this inference, the choices that the twelve people may make are as follows:

In the first case, none of the twelve people chose the red gate and chose to enter the yellow gate. In this case, everyone will safely move on to the next level, but they will find nothing.

In the second scenario, all twelve people choose to venture into the red gate, so that two people will die uncertainly. The remaining ten men competed for the armor.

In the third case, some people choose to enter the red gate, and there are more than two people. This situation is similar to the second one, where two people die, and the rest fight for the armor. The fewer people who choose the red gate, the more likely they are to get the armor. If there are only three people entering the red gate, the remaining one after the death of the two can directly obtain the treasure armor without having to fight with others. However, if there are fewer people, the chance of death will also increase.

In the fourth case, only two people choose to enter the red gate. This is the worst outcome, both people die, but no one can get the armor, and those two people die in vain.

In the fifth case, only one person enters the red gate. It is impossible to tell what the outcome of this situation will be. It is possible to die in vain as in the fourth case, or it is possible to survive because there are fewer than two people.

"No one knows exactly how many people will choose the red gate. When you enter this door, you must have the consciousness of 'if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent'......" Xiao Tianhe thought, "No, even if '

If you succeed, you may not be able to get the armor, it depends on how many people fight. If the second scenario happens, ten people fight for a piece of armor, heh, it's not worth it. Besides, I have already obtained a magic weapon in the Earth Tribulation Layer, and I may not even be qualified to fight by then......" Xiao Tianhe shook his head as he thought.

"Hey, that's not right!" a thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Tianhe's mind, "The door didn't say that there was only one treasure armor!"

If there is not more than one piece of armor, the situation is even more dangerous. There are a total of twelve people, and every two lives can be exchanged for a treasure armor, if all the people enter the red gate, then eight people will die, and the remaining four people will get the treasure armor. This proportion of deaths is simply too high. "I hope everyone can think of this, don't take risks......" Xiao Tianhe made up his mind and pushed open the yellow door hard.

The scene outside the door is very pleasant, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the green mountains and green waters, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. A small clear river runs through the valleys, and there is a sheep's gut path that winds its way into the distance. Xiao Tianhe took a deep breath of fresh air and suddenly felt relaxed. "Haha, if you don't have a treasure, you can't do it, at least you have this beautiful scenery. He thought to himself.

After turning a high cliff along the path, you can see a clearing ahead. From afar, Xiao Tianhe saw Hua Qingyu, Ye Linglong and others waving at him. The clearing is a mountain col surrounded by mountains, and there are many mountain paths leading to it. In front of an almost vertical cliff, there was also a very thick stone pillar, a small half of which was embedded in the mountain, and everyone was sitting around the stone pillar.

Xiao Tianhe looked at the people present, except for He Tianyao, everyone else had arrived. "Did you all choose the yellow gate?" he asked.

"yes. The red door is too risky to be necessary. Jin Chanyu said.

The You brothers also said: "Compared to the treasure armor. "Life is more important. ”

"Oh, there's another one who hasn't arrived! Maybe he's chosen the red gate. Shang Xingjie said.

"Impossible!" Xiao Tianhe believed that He Tianyao would not be so stupid. He looked around and counted the paths leading to the col, exactly twelve. "The Burning Heaven Palace really changes according to the number of people who enter. He thought to himself. But the question also arises, where do we go next?

Xiao Tianhe took a closer look around the strange giant pillar. The stone pillar is estimated to be about a dozen zhang high, and a few people may not be able to surround it. He noticed that there were a total of four square bricks inlaid on the stone pillar at the height of one person, similar to those on the platform where the earth robbery layer was placed, with strange and unknown patterns on the surface. Xiao Tianhe picked it out with his hand, and there were three pieces that could be cut off, but only one seemed to be fixed to the stone pillar. The situation of this "four can take three" is also the same as that of the earth robbery layer.

"Although I don't know why Brother Yao took these bricks, it seems that his fate with the Burning Heaven Palace is a little closer than that of us people. I'll put it away for him. Thinking so, Xiao Tianhe put three square bricks into the storage magic weapon.

"What are you doing with that? It's not a magic weapon. Zhou Wenxuan saw his actions and asked curiously.

Xiao Tianhe smiled: "Keep it as a souvenir." ”

Jin Chanyu suddenly beckoned to Xiao Tianhe. After he got closer, Jin Chanyu asked in a low voice, "Is Meng Zhangpei unusable?"

"Yes. I tried it when I was fighting the four spirits, but it didn't work. ”

"Hmm, I also asked the flower girl just now, and the same is true ......of the overseer Pei," Jin Chanyu remembered something again, "I once heard from my subordinate hall master that you and He Gongzi have the power protection left by the masters, but I didn't see it when I was fighting with the four spirits before?"

Even Xiao Tianhe himself forgot about it: "Ah, yes......"

"It seems that there are more prohibitions in the Burning Sky Palace than I expected......" Jin Chanyu muttered to herself.

Xiao Tianhe recalled the inexplicable words that several princes had said when he was in the secret room at the bottom of the Heavenly Prison. Jiang Taigong said: "Stop in moderation, don't cultivate bad temperament." Yu Taigong said: "It can not only turn danger into relief, but also not be fearless." Then, the three princes slapped the dantian of the four people. That palm was the only chance for the three princes to touch the four of them, and the power of protecting the body must have been left at that time. In this way, the meaning of those two inexplicable words is also understood: the princes should not give too much skill, lest Xiao Tianhe and them rely on their skills to protect their bodies and act recklessly. Now that the body protection power has disappeared, is it temporarily suppressed because of the ban in the Burning Heaven Palace, or has the power been exhausted?

Just thinking about it, He Tianyao arrived at the open space from a small road, and Xiao Tianhe greeted him happily. The rest of the people sitting on the ground also stood up.

"Now everyone is together, but how do you get through this layer?" said Xiang Zhongyang.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain wall behind the stone pillar suddenly made a strange noise, and the two rocks moved left and right, revealing a hidden cave. After the rock stopped, a row of torches lit up in the cave, and by the light, you could see that there was an upward staircase in the cave.

"I didn't even find a mechanism here......" Qu Xingxuan, who was proficient in mechanisms, walked to the rock and touched it with his hand.

Shi Potian said: "It's hard to say whether this is a mechanism or not, it will be activated as soon as the people arrive, and it seems that someone is controlling it." ”

"Could it be that Steward Meng?" Jin Chanyu said.

The three emperors were not interested in the mechanism and walked straight into the cave. Others followed. Xiao Tianhe deliberately grabbed He Tianyao and took out the three square bricks.

"Really attentive. He Tianyao took it.

"It's your senses that are so accurate that I have to believe that these bricks must have some meaning. "Xiao Tian Dao.

He Tianyao whistled easily

"This trip must be worth it. Let's go!"

Not long after walking up the stairs, a "familiar" gate appeared at the end of the stairs, exactly the same as the one that had exited the Tribulation Level.

However, on the stairs between the crowd and the gate, there is a fork in the road in the opposite direction. The fork in the road is also connected by an upward staircase. Strange to be, there must be only one way through this level, and where does this reverse staircase lead? So the crowd planned not to enter the gate first, but to climb up the stairs to have a look.

Following the steps of the fork in the road, everyone walked up a flat road, and at the end of the flat road was also a hole leading to the outside of the mountain. The entrance to the cave was supposed to be above the entrance to the mountain, but no one could see it when they were in the col.

"Ahh......h

"Oh no, he took the lead!" Shang Xingjie, who reacted, also immediately chased after him.

The others looked at each other, and the outside of the cave should be a cliff, wouldn't it be a head to the ground when they rushed out?

"That's right, the pillar! It's the pillar!" Ye Linglong also thought of it. According to the height estimate, outside this cave should be the top of the giant pillar!

Shi Potian, who was running at the front, had already approached the entrance of the cave, and he clearly saw the situation outside the cave. Sure enough, outside the cave was the flat roof of the giant pillar, where there was a stone platform with a mahogany chest on it!

"Haha, Baojia!" Shi Potian was overjoyed. Although he has extremely hard dragon scale armor, compared to the forged armor, the dragon scale armor has a great disadvantage - the dragon scale armor is actually made up of Shi Potian's own scales, and if the dragon scale armor is damaged, it is equivalent to "breaking the skin". And the forged armor is considered a "thing outside the body", even if the armor is destroyed, it will not affect the body.

"Bang!" Just as Shi Potian was about to rush out of the hole, he suddenly hit an invisible "wall", and his head was bleeding on the spot, and Venus appeared in front of him. Shang Xingjie, who was close behind, couldn't stop, and hit Shi Potian's body hard, and the two fell to the ground together.

"There is a ban!" Shang Xingjie said with annoyance.

Hua Qingyu helped Shi Potian up and applied medicine to the wound on his head.

"It's really unlucky!" Shi Potian complained helplessly.

Jin Chanyu shook her head and said, "Since you didn't choose the red gate, how could you let you get the treasure armor? ”

"There's a ban inside," "What about from the outside?" the You brothers suddenly said a mysterious word.

"Outside?" the crowd said in unison.

"No, the height of this pillar is more than ten zhang, and there are no gaps or convex rocks on the cliff to settle on, and now everyone can't fly, how can they go up?" Xiang Zhongyang shook his head.

The You brothers laughed in unison: "Take the ladder." "Stacking Arhats. ”

Xiao Tianhe estimated in his heart, there are now nine men and three women, according to the height of the feet to the shoulders, the stack can be almost ten zhang, and the difference of one or two zhang is no problem as long as the person at the top jumps.

"It's a good idea, but who will go up?" Shang Xingjie said, "I don't know how many treasure armors there are in the box." If there is only one ......"

Xiang Zhongyang proposed: "It's better to draw lots." ”

"Yes. However, the three people you have already obtained the magic weapon cannot be caught. Shang Xingjie has not forgotten this incident.

"I agree. Xiao Tianhe shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't have a problem with that. Jin Chanyu said.

You Xuantong didn't speak, but nodded.

The nine lots were quickly made, and each of the nine took one.

"I'm unlucky, I didn't hit again!" Zhou Wenxuan looked at the blank lot in his hand helplessly.

Shang Xingjie was also disappointed: "I didn't hit either." Who's hit?"

You Xuanda raised his arm and shook it excitedly, the lot with the word "Zhong" written on it was in his hand, but he didn't cheer. It seems that both brothers must have something to say before they can speak.

"The luck of those two brothers is really good......," Zhou Wenxuan said enviously.
