Ming Xuan looked at Du Mu and asked, "Cousin, is that behemoth you said true?"

Everyone's eyes looked at Du Mu at the same time.

The young man with a wooden expression squeezed out a stiff smile and nodded: "Of course, but that behemoth was locked in the underground palace by a senior at the cost of his life, and it will not show up easily, so you don't have to worry." ”

Thinking about it, Jianjing Mansion dares to use this place as a place of trial for assessment, and it must have a foolproof guarantee.

After waiting for a while, when Bu Yu was well recovered, everyone began to march towards the third side hall.

The third side hall, the door plaque hangs high, named the stone pavilion hall.

Everyone crossed the palace gate and came to the hall, and was immediately attracted by the scene in the main hall.

In the huge palace, there is only one stone pavilion standing in it!

Seeing the black stone pavilion in the center of the palace, everyone finally knew why this palace was called the Stone Pavilion Palace.

Because the stone pavilion is all made of condensation stones!

What a palace!

What a stone pavilion!

What a shocking splendour!

The condensation stone consumed to build this stone pavilion alone is the output of the mountains in the north for several years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a lot of money.

However, the black stone pavilion was not the whole reason that shocked everyone.

In the midst of that blackness, there was an extremely vivid white, and anyone could see at a glance that it was the white bones of a corpse that had long since been corrupted.

Against the backdrop of the black stone pavilion, the white bones that exude a crystal luster attract everyone's attention.

A group of five people walked into the palace and came to the stone pavilion, looking at the chilling white bones.

I saw Bai Gu sitting in the stone pavilion, raising his head and chest, looking ahead, I don't know if it was because of the age, Bai Gu's hip bone had been integrated with the stone pavilion, and under the action of the condensation stone, a handful of bones on his body had been condensed, stiffer than steel.

The crowd tried to move the bones, but nothing could be done.

Zhou Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the white bones and wondering: "What is the origin of this white bone, the Nancheng Underground Palace has been controlled by Jieshui City for so many years, and it has not been cleaned up of this white bone?"

Obviously, this white bone existed before the transformation of Jieshui City.

Du Mu said: "This person is likely to be the owner of the Nancheng Underground Palace. ”

Then he raised a hand and pointed to the pavilion pillar on the right side of the white bones.

"Look!"

Everyone looked and found a line of small print.

"Eliminate with the ancients, the king does not leave a name!"

Du Mu said: "When the Southern Tang Dynasty attacked the underground palace, there were countless casualties, this person must have come here after being unable to resist, and he didn't know how to integrate himself with the stone pavilion. ”

Ming Xuan laughed, shook his head and said, "Being able to sit with the prince is not a good conversation. Okay, let's not care about this white bone, let's hurry up and cultivate!"

The pressure in the pavilion, which is entirely made of condensate stones, is extraordinary.

Meng Li, who had already had the heart to give it a try, naturally didn't want to slack off, took a step forward, and almost stepped into the stone pavilion with Du Mu.

Stepping into the stone pavilion was like entering another world, and the pressure he faced rose suddenly, almost leaving Meng Li lying on the ground.

Meng Li hunched his back, his feet slightly bent, left and right rubbed towards the middle of the stone pavilion, and his body trembled violently with every step he moved.

Relax your body!

Adjust your breathing!

Keep the rhythm going!

Meng Li thought back to the points that Zhou Wei had mentioned before, and relaxed his body with the rhythm of exhaling and breathing.

Call...... Call......

The pressure of the Condensing Stone Pavilion was indeed extraordinary, it was even four or five times higher than the previous Condensing Stone Path, if it wasn't for the fact that he had enough preparation before stepping in, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for even a second.

This pressure is terrifying!

Meng Li breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Du Mu on the side, only to see that the latter was sweating profusely and his muscles were jumping.

It's so hideous!

Isn't that the case now? Is this pressure too much for me?

Just as Meng was out of his mind, a sharp pain suddenly came from his trembling legs.

"It seems that with my own strength, I still can't hold on. ”

Meng Li squeezed out a wry smile on his face, and after taking a deep breath again, he began to mobilize his diligence.

Qi flows into the body and flows throughout the body under the operation of the exercises. With a burst of tingling, his body gradually regained its strength.

Diligence and longevity.

Since he obtained this exercise two years ago, the more he practiced, the more Meng Li could perceive the unfathomable depth of this exercise.

This exercise, which was named Diligent Gong by his master, is unimaginably helpful to the body!

The strong recovery ability worked wonders, and as his body recovered, Meng Li was gradually able to compete with the pressure of the stone pavilion.

Extrusion by external force, internal support.

In this state of equilibrium, Meng Li's body quickly became stronger than before.

On the other side, Ming Xuan and Zhou Wei also entered the stone pavilion.

However, they only tasted it at a cursory level, and after feeling the power of the stone pavilion, they retreated.

"Brother Ming, how long do you say they can hold out?" Zhou Wei looked at Ming Xuan with a smile on his face.

Ming Xuan groaned: "Du Mu's words, he should be able to last for half an hour, as for Meng Li, he is only refining his body and forging five forgings, and his physique is one forging lower than Du Mu, so he should last less than a quarter of an hour." ”

In the front hall of the dungeon, as everyone entered, the conflict in the dungeon began to break out, and many warriors who had long had grievances fought in the front hall.

Scuffling, shouting.

In an instant, there was chaos in the front hall.

There are seven factions in front of them, and these martial artists who participated in the assessment have long been hopeless about the results, and most of the reason why they came here is to settle personal grievances.

There are casualties in the assessment of the martial arts.

For the martial artists who regard this assessment as a solution to their personal grievances, this casualty quota is what they really want.

At this time, outside the battlefield, on a huge stone platform, a young man with a poisonous snake around his neck was watching everything that happened under the stage with an indifferent expression.

Behind the man, a warrior with a wooden plaque of sixty-two hanging on his waist, holding an iron box, stood quietly and respectfully. The age of the warrior looks similar to that of the man in front of him, but he is a subordinate, with a poisonous snake man as the head of the horse.

The viper man holding the No. 13 wooden card in his hand, looking at the increasingly chaotic battlefield below, took back the token he was playing with, hooked his hand, and said to the warrior behind him: "Let's start! Wait, the best time will pass." ”

"Yes, young master!"

The young-faced warrior nodded, and opened the iron box, revealing a small white medicine bottle.

The medicine bottle is a small porcelain white bottle, the mouth of the bottle is sealed with a red cloth, neatly displayed in an iron box, into five rows and six columns, a total of thirty.

The young warrior raised the iron box flat on his chest, opened his mouth to aim at the people who were fighting each other on the battlefield, and shouted: "Produced by the Snake Nest, it must be a high-quality product, and the exclusive secret spiritual food qi tonifying pill is made." It can rejuvenate you from exhaustion, and it is the best choice for you to kill enemies on the battlefield. ”

The young warrior's voice was full of words, and what he shouted was a well-prepared advertisement

"The original price was six or eight eight, but now it is only four eight eight. Quantities are limited, so get your hands on it. ”

Hearing the shouts of the young warriors, many warriors who were fighting on the battlefield widened their eyes in shock.

This snake nest, really when they don't know the goods?

An ordinary Qi Replenishing Pill, if it was placed outside, even if it was the most guaranteed quality spiritual food shop, it would only sell for a hundred taels of silver.

But now, it has been sold for four hundred and eighty-eight taels, which has increased four or five times. Isn't this robbery while the fire is hot?

But......

Many martial artists who were about to run out of true qi looked down at their slightly twitching hands, with a helpless wry smile on their faces.

However, even if they knew that the other party was taking advantage of the fire to rob, they could only admit it. Because, compared to spending a few hundred taels of silver, one's own life is more important.

Gold and silver have a price, but life is priceless.

Soon, a martial artist who was about to run out of true qi jumped out of the battlefield, came to the young martial artist, took out a silver ticket worth five hundred taels, and said eagerly: "Quick, bring me a qi replenishing pill!"

The man with the poisonous snake around his neck stood up, took the silver ticket and said, "The cashier is five hundred taels, and you need to find twelve taels of silver." This distinguished guest, I don't have much broken silver in my hand, and I need you to wait a while. ”

The martial artist, whose true qi had almost been exhausted, was angry and shouted, "Then you should hurry up for Lao Tzu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his enemy pounced on him from the battlefield, and after counting his swords, he slew the invincible warrior on the spot.

Before he died, he stared at the medicine bottle in the iron box with wide eyes, as if to say that if there was this qi tonifying pill, his fate would definitely not be like this.

When the viper man saw this scene, he was indifferent. With a smile, he put the silver ticket in his arms.

The martial artist who had just slashed the martial artist with a sword came to the poisonous snake man, and also took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and said, "Give me a qi tonifying pill too." ”

After saying that, I emphasized again.

"You don't have to look for the rest of the silver!"

"Okay!

Without waiting for the snake man to speak, the man No. 62 holding the iron box took a sip, took out a medicine bottle and handed it out.

The warrior took the medicine bottle and immediately took out the Qi Replenishing Pill and swallowed it.

The medicinal power dissolved in his body, forming a majestic true qi that enriched his body.

The warrior looked at the poisonous snake man, and said with an indifferent expression: "The snake boy is kind today, keep it in mind, if he can escape with his life, he will definitely come to the door to thank him one day." ”

With that, he rushed towards another enemy on the battlefield.

This favor is not a favor from him, and this thank you is not a thank you.

To this kind of obvious intention to settle accounts with the queen of autumn, the snake boy didn't care, just looked at the other party's departing figure, showing a sneer.

At this time, a person sneaked over and wanted to steal the qi replenishing pill in the iron box, but was discovered by the snake boy and killed casually.

People die for money, greed and lust will always be the worst enemies of mankind.

Looking at the corpse that fell to the ground, the snake boy's face became even colder.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a person sigh: "In this world, why are there so many stupid people who don't know how to judge the situation?"

The snake boy looked for the sound, and saw a man with a folding fan swaying slowly behind the stone platform, dressed in white and dustless, with a graceful demeanor.

"Xiao Zicong?"

When the snake boy saw the man, his mood instantly turned sharply, and he frowned slightly.

Swish!

Xiao Zicong folded the fan lightly, hugged his fists and said: "It's Xiao, listening to the tone of the snake boy, it doesn't seem to be welcome." ”

The snake boy sneered: "I have a withdrawn personality, no matter who I see, I look like this, Pavilion Master Xiao doesn't have to mind." ”

Withdrawn?

For this ridiculous excuse, Xiao Zicong laughed it off.

"I have a suggestion, I wonder if Brother Snake is interested in listening to it?"

The snake boy's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "What good advice can you say in the mouths of you group of horse slaves?"

Manu!

Regardless of the origin of these two words, this title alone is not good.

However, after Xiao Zicong heard it, he didn't care, but smiled, quite proud.

Swish!

Xiao Zicong shook off the white jade elephant bone fan and shook it gently: "You snake servants, why are your mouths as vicious as your snake masters?" You and I are all set up there, and in the final analysis, we are all a family. ”

The snake boy glared at him, and said disdainfully: "Who is a family with your Xifu Horse Gang, you want to do something, it's your own business, don't mix our snake nest into it." ”

Xiao Zicong's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Is this what you mean, or is it the meaning of the snake's nest?"

The boy removed the turquoise viper from his neck, wrapped it around his arm, and said with a smile, "I mean the snake's nest." ”

Xiao Zicong stared at the snake boy, and his face gradually turned gloomy.

No. 62, who was standing behind the snake boy, saw this scene and suddenly closed the iron box with a wary expression.

However, just when No. 62 was waiting for him, the man with an extremely gloomy face turned his anger into laughter, and then stroked his palms and laughed.

"Hahahaha, the snake boy is really fast! Xiao admires!

The snake boy said: "Xiao Zicong, Ming people don't say dark words, tell your intentions!"

Xiao Zicong said: "Since you don't want to participate in the affairs of my Xifu Horse Gang, why don't we retreat and only talk about you and me!"

The snake boy frowned and said, "What do you mean, you want to form an alliance for me?"

"Why not?" Xiao Zicong spread his palms and said with a smile: "At least this time, we have a reason to cooperate." ”

The snake boy nodded slowly and muttered, "You're right. This martial arts assessment was extraordinary, not only did the seven factions participate, but they even formed an alliance with each other, making it infinitely less likely to be broken one by one. ”

Xiao Zicong squinted and said, "I walked all the way just now and observed it carefully. Among the seven factions, except for the Qingshan faction, the other six factions are all allied in pairs. The Yellow Sand Gang and the Lotus Picking Sword Sect, the Seven Star Sect and the Huaijiang Pavilion, the Cloud Sword Sect and the Sound Annihilation Valley, if the two of us don't advance and retreat together, how can we compete with them?"

Among the seven factions, although there is also a Qingshan faction that stands out, if it is said that they want to learn the means of the green shirt and iron sword, it is something they dare not think of.

The snake boy said: "The seven factions joining forces is indeed tricky. But you should know that my goal this time is not just to pass on the military order, if they don't take the initiative to provoke, I won't care?"

Xiao Zicong looked at the little green snake on the snake boy's arm, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that your little spirit snake has reached the critical moment of molting!"

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the snake boy.

"It seems that you have been lurking in Jieshui City for a year, and you have gained a lot! you even know the secret of our snake nest!"

Xiao Zicong said with a smile: "Your snake nest has been operating hard, and you want to use the spiritual liquid in the Qingye Secret Realm to improve the quality of the spirit snake, which the people in the city guard mansion know, so how can it be secret?"

Xiao Zicong saw the snake boy bow his head and ponder, revealing a confident smile.

"But have you ever wondered if there are any people in the Seven Great Sects who are interested in this spiritual liquid?"

"What do you mean by that?" Snake Boy's face was ugly, and there was a faint uneasiness in his eyes.

Xiao Zicong said that he really didn't think about it.

The spiritual fluid in the Aoba Secret Realm, called the Molting Bone Spiritual Liquid, is the spiritual fluid used to cultivate spirit animals.

It is also an exclusive secret ingredient that their snake nest has painstakingly researched.

The last time the Aoba Secret Realm began, the predecessors in the snake nest had already begun to prepare the molting spirit liquid, in order to make the spirit liquid reach the highest quality, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, collected a large number of spirit grass, and with the help of the special environment of the Green Leaf Secret Realm to ferment the spirit grass, seeing that several years have passed, and now it is finally the harvest season.

The process of cultivating the spiritual fluid is like planting peaches to the people in the snake's den, and the peaches they have grown with their own hard work are naturally impossible for others to pick.

Xiao Zicong said: "As far as I know, the Yellow Sand Gang got a gerbil not long ago, and the elders of the sect gave it to Zhu Qian, I think if he knows about the spiritual liquid, he will definitely not miss it." ”

The snake boy's eyes were like electricity, staring at Xiao Zicong and said, "Are you threatening me?"

"Definitely!" Xiao Zicong shook his head and said: "Brother Snake, you have to understand, it's not just you and me who know about the spiritual fluid, with the energy of the seven factions, if they are willing, what can't be known, although I have no intention of leaking secrets, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not know." ”

"You're right. "The snake boy's mind is already active, so he naturally won't put himself in a disadvantageous place. Nodding his head, he said softly: "In that case, I will cooperate with you once!"

"Hahaha, Brother Snake is wise!" Xiao Zicong laughed out loud and asked, "So, what should we do next?"

Although Xiao Zicong asked, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a plan in his heart, listening to other people's opinions is an excellent quality, and he has always done this.

The snake boy raised his head, took advantage of the height of the stone platform, looked down at the four passages at the end of the palace from above, and muttered: "This underground palace is in the pattern of five elements, except for the fifth passage hidden by Du Mu, now there are only four passages of gold, wood, water and fire in front of us." ”

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" Hearing the snake boy's muttering, Xiao Zicong's face was shocked.

Is it something that can be done by a human being to hide a passageway?

"Are you sure that a passage here has been hidden?" the shocked man looked at the viper man, reconfirming.

The snake boy's gaze swept towards him and said contemptuously: "You should know that the Cloud Sword Sect is not only proficient in the way of the sword, but also cultivates the way of runes, and there is even a kind of talisman called the Folding Talisman in the door, which can change the light and shadow and affect the vision of the eyes. ”

Xiao Zicong looked at the flat stone wall behind the four passages, and said in surprise: "You mean to say that Du Mu used the Folding Talisman?"

Snake Gongzi said: "As far as I know, there are five passages in the underground palace of Nancheng, but we only see four now, combined with the previous situation, I can only speculate on this one conclusion." ”

When the snake prince entered the underground palace, the descendants of the seven factions starting from Zhuang Yu did not enter the passage, but gathered around and did not know what they were discussing. At that time, there were only four passages left in the dungeon.

Xiao Zicong asked again: "So, how should we choose, whether to take the passage that was hidden by Du Mu, or the other four passages?"

Since Du Mu has hidden the folding talisman, he naturally has a deep meaning, after all, he is the nephew of the chief examiner Bai Ye, and his movements must not be considered.

For Xiao Zicong, he naturally prefers Du Mu's path. But Snake Boy seems to have other ideas.

"I don't think it's okay to go through that passage!"

Xiao Zicong looked at the snake boy and wondered, "What do you mean?"

The snake boy said: "The dirt passage where Du Mu hid has a main road inlaid with condensation stones. I guess the reason why he hid that passage was probably because he didn't want other people to disturb his cultivation. ”

Xiao Zicong suddenly said: "I see, the condensation stone has little effect on martial artists above seven forgings, but it is a big opportunity for Du Mu who has only six forgings. It seems that he wants to use this opportunity to break through to the seventh forging. ”

The snake boy said with a smile: "Du Mu broke through the seventh forging, this matter can be big or small, at this time he has Zhou Wei and Ming Xuan Protector by his side, if we enter rashly, it will not be good to cause misunderstanding." ”

Xiao Zicong sighed: "No wonder the snake nest will be known as the most well-informed place in Jieshui City, with Brother Snake sitting in it, your snake nest can become a behemoth in Jieshui City sooner or later." ”

The snake boy touched the little snake on his arm and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao has won the award, compared to your Xifu horse gang, my little snake nest is still far behind." ”

Xiao Zicong said: "Brother Snake, which channel do you say we should choose next?"

The snake boy said: "The five elements in the underground palace have their own problems, if you want me to see, we should go our separate ways." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Zicong to ask, he said again: "I have a little spirit snake to protect me, I can take the second wooden passage, Brother Xiao, you major in the tide of life, you can take the third water passage." Oh, by the way, before Huaijiang Pavilion and Seven Star Sect, the choice was the third channel, you have to be careful. ”

Xiao Zicong smiled: "Don't worry, I won't approach them." ”

The third passage of the underground palace, the wooden hall.

In the center of the palace, a huge waterwheel is slowly turning.

On top of the waterwheel, there is a mechanism, and as the waterwheel rotates, arrows shoot out of the mechanism.

Han Fei and his group of four people slowly advanced against the wall on the side of the main hall, and from time to time arrows flew in, and before they could get close, they were picked up by Zhuang Yu with a knife.

The exit from the palace was ahead, but as they advanced, they faced more and more arrows.

When Qi Mingyu was almost injured by an arrow, Liang Jingcheng said with an ugly face: "Senior Brother Zhuang, this is not a way, we need to get close to the waterwheel and stop the mechanism above, otherwise we will not be able to hold on to the opposite side." ”

Zhuang Yu said expressionlessly: "The matter of the mechanism can be left to me to solve, but before that, you need to tell me how to make it stop." ”

"It's simple!" Liang Jingcheng pointed to a set of gears on the base of the waterwheel and said, "Senior brother, have you seen that set of gears, you just need to jam it, and the waterwheel will stop." ”

"Okay, I see!"
