Volume 2: Evil Chapter 79: Forcibly ascending Thunder Mountain
The winter thunder shook and shook, and the thunder was full of snowflakes mixed with the sky.
Zhao Hong actually entered a strange area at this time. The weather here changed suddenly, and it was snowing in the sky, and countless white snowflakes were whistling in the cold wind, giving people a chilling feeling. Strangely, the wetlands below showed no signs of solidification, and there was a faint appearance of hot air billowing out. The strange air of cold and heat intertwined and rolled down, and the white mist gradually thickened.
As Zhao Hong went deeper, the wind and snow in the air became more and more cold, and the wetland under his feet was diametrically opposite, as if boiling water was abnormally hot. There were even some places where Mizusawa was directly gurgling and boiling. But Zhao Hong turned a blind eye to this vision, and just moved forward in the vast wind and snow.
After walking slowly for a distance in the wind and snow, Zhao Hong reached out and grabbed it downward, and a fishy salty water practice was directly taken into his hand, it was unexpectedly hot, and the temperature was very high. Zhao Hong raised his eyebrows and looked at the denser white mist in the distance, but his steps sped up a few points, and he escaped deeper into the sea of fog in a flash.
After traveling for several miles in the fog, Zhao Hong's vision suddenly widened, and the surrounding fog disappeared all at once.
A feeling of emptiness came, and Zhao Hong seemed to feel that he had been walking on flat ground, and then suddenly stepped into the air. He immediately knew that he had unknowingly stepped into the spatial array gate and entered the depths of Razor's core.
Zhao Hong can confirm that it is indeed a space array gate just now, and this invisible space array gate is completely different from the tangible one he encountered under Tujing Mountain before, it is definitely not something that an ordinary formation grandmaster can arrange, this place should indeed be the depths of the core.
A feeling of dizziness came, and Zhao Hong couldn't even tell the difference between up and down, southeast and northwest. After waiting for a while, when he fully recovered, he found himself standing in a gray space.
The wind and snow in the air had stopped, but the air was three points colder than before. The ground also began to condense into ice, and a thin layer of ice surfaced to emerge, but the steaming appearance just now was completely gone.
Zhao Hong looked fixedly, and in front of him was a huge black mountain, which didn't seem to have any life, but when he felt it carefully, he found that all the life in this area was on this mountain. And purple lightning flashed constantly on this black giant mountain, and those lightning bolts were undoubtedly sent from this black mountain.
Zhao Hong was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't know how big this black mountain was, but it was absolutely boundless. And this huge black mountain can actually strike the entire Razor with purple lightning bolts, which is obviously different.
And at this time, the closer he was to the mountain, the more lightning there was, and Zhao Hong even suspected that before he could reach this mountain, he was hit into ashes by the purple lightning shot from the mountain. This place should not be called Razor at all, but should be called Thunder Mountain.
His soul consciousness could not extend to the top of the black mountain, and he didn't know if the "Kui Niu Drum" was on this black mountain. But since he came, he didn't plan to leave, not to mention that he had now entered the eighth-level trapped formation, even if he wanted to leave, it might not be a simple matter.
However, there were too many of these purple lightning bolts in front of him, and the closer he got to the Black Mountain, the denser these lightning bolts became, how could he go up? Even if he had a "thunder talisman" that could absorb the thunder source, there was no way to go up to the black mountain. Moreover, whether the "Thunder Fighting Talisman" drawn in the middle of his "real world" could withstand the lightning on the Black Mountain, and for how long?
Before he could take a step, suddenly a low "boom" sound came from the depths of the earth under his feet, and the whole earth shook with it.
Zhao Hong's face suddenly changed, and he didn't know what happened. Did you accidentally step on some prohibition? But I clearly haven't moved a bit.
"For some reason, there have been some changes in the formation of this Razeri, and the other monks on the periphery have been teleported out. It may have something to do with your entry into the depths of Razor's core, but you don't have to worry, just concentrate on your mission. At this time, Lao Long saw that Zhao Hong was puzzled, and seemed to explain with some comfort.
"Old Dragon, now we have entered the eighth-level trapped formation, and this thunder mountain is in front of us, I am afraid it will be insurmountable. You said before that you can find other exits in Razor, but now there is only one day left, even if the 'Kui Niu Drum' and the Demon Pill are on top of Thunder Mountain, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to go up the mountain. Look, shouldn't we go find another exit first?" Zhao Hong asked.
It's not that he wants to back down, it's that the obstacles are too big and he doesn't have enough time.
"There are only three ways to get out of Razor. The first is that you can teleport out within the three-day time limit, taking advantage of the loosening of the formation here......"
"This is a dead end, it definitely won't work!What about the other way?" Zhao Hong directly denied interrupting, going out from the original place was equivalent to putting his own life in the hands of arrogance. He didn't think that in this situation, that arrogance would kindly give him a way to live.
"In just two days, your formation level has risen by two levels, from the original level five to level seven. The reason for this is, of course, the reason for your excellent soul and talent, but more importantly, you have inherited the essence and blood of Chiyou. You are now a seventh-level formation grandmaster, if you can break through to a ninth-level formation grandmaster in Razor, then the formation in the entire Razor can no longer restrain you, even if the Razor formation is closed at that time, you can come and go at will......"
"That's true. I think the ninth-level formation is on top of Thunder Mountain. However, with my current formation cultivation, I am afraid that I may not be able to succeed in breaking the eighth-level trapped formation in front of me, let alone climbing Thunder Mountain. ”
"Actually, you don't need to study the formation here. The "Witch Codex" is an ancient witch inheritance method, in which the "array" chapter is fundamentally self-contained. Your formation inheritance is based on the witch formation system in the "Witch Book", and it has reached the grandmaster level, so there is no need to study other people's formations in the future, and through other people's formations to advance to the eighth and ninth level formation grandmasters. 'Array' is a skill that the sorcerer relies on, different from the formation of the god clan and the human race, no matter how good or ingenious the formation of others is, it is different from the sorcerer array after all. If you insist on following the shadow of others to improve the level of formations, and you are bent on advancing by studying other people's formations, you will go astray. For other formations, you only need to know the concept of the formation. As long as the sorcerer is already a ninth-level formation grandmaster, then someone else's ninth-level formation is a floating cloud. ”
Zhao Hong listened to Lao Long's words thoughtfully, and at this moment he seemed to have some understanding.
The so-called formation, or magic circle, seems to be a magical and mysterious thing, but in fact, it is just a way to use aura to convert energy. Reiki itself is a special energy that is ubiquitous in heaven and earth, an invisible connection between various things, and an integral part of promoting the development of things.
The formation can also be called a field, which is a field where the aura is arranged for one's own use. And in this field range, there is a special energy operation, so as to achieve some special purposes. As for the formation, isn't it actually to change the original connection in the original field and build a new connection?
The formations of the Divine Clan and the Terran Cultivators often need to consume the mana and true yuan in the body of the person who arranges the formation, or inject something containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the formation to maintain the energy required in the formation field. The sorcerer himself does not cultivate the true element mana in his body, and the characteristic of the witch array he arranges is that the sorcerer relies on the sorcerer's ability to communicate the aura of heaven and earth, re-coordinates the connection between the witch array field and the surrounding environment, and uses the aura itself as the energy required for the operation of the witch array, which is endless.
Zhao Hong calmed down a little and asked again, "What about the third way?"
"Climb Thunder Mountain...... "The old dragon muttered.
......
A day passed quickly, and Zhao Hong stood quietly in place, looking at the thunderous black mountain in front of him, without taking a step. At this time, the loose gap of Lei Ze had been closed, and he had no other way to retreat, but to climb this huge thunder mountain according to what the old dragon said.
"Maybe you can try it with a lightning array. Zhao Hong thought to himself.
The Thunder Array was a formation that he had spent a day figuring out by himself with slight changes according to the "Taiyin Essence Array" that was used to accelerate the quenching of the body. The difference is that the Taiyin Essence Array is used to gather and absorb the essence of the stars and the moon and use it to quench the body, while the Thunder Array is to gather and absorb the power of thunder, and lead these lightning strikes to a distant place and explode in a concentrated manner. He only had a preliminary idea of a lightning array, and he had never had the experience of arranging such a formation, so he didn't expect that this place might be able to be used first.
In addition to using the lightning guidance formation, Zhao Hong really couldn't think of any way to go up to the top of the mountain. The thunder on the surface of this Thunder Mountain flashed with thunder, and the lightning was dense, not to mention him, even Yao Laozu, who had been here for twenty years, might not be able to go up. But even if he used a lightning array, Zhao Hong was not sure if it would work, after all, the degree of this lightning strike was too dense and too powerful.
Zhao Hong took out all the materials in the storage bag and began to refine the array flag. Thankfully, he had collected enough materials when he was in Wu City, and now he used almost all of them.
After another five days of sleepless refining, Zhao Hong finally finished refining all the array flags he needed. He now felt more and more embarrassed that his Mountain Paste Beast Fire was of great use, and it took him five days to refine the intermediate array banner material. What if I refine a high-grade array flag in the future?
But after all, he was not a Terran cultivator, and he couldn't practice fire-based exercises. Being able to control and use the mountain paste beast fire was also thanks to Jiang Wei's help at the beginning. Zhao Hong shook his head and put away the refined array flag, unwilling to think about it anymore.
Zhao Hong stood up again and began to arrange the formation. Because of the limitation of the material level, he could only arrange a fifth-level demining array.
In the method designed by Zhao Hong, it is to use this fifth-level lightning guidance array to lure those purple thunders on the Thunder Mountain to a remote location, and he can open a passage from the place where the purple lightning is drawn, so as to rush up the Thunder Mountain. As long as the lightning array can support dozens of breathing times, it will be enough for him.
Because of the investment regardless of the cost, two days later, Zhao Hong arranged a huge thunder formation far away from Lei Mountain. In this thunder array, Zhao Hong changed slightly to prevent the explosion from occurring in the formation. Otherwise, don't say it's a fifth-level formation, even if it's a sixth-level or seventh-level formation, so many lightning explosions, Zhao Hong is sure that the formation can't be stopped.
It has been ten days since he entered Lei Ze, and Zhao Hong has not even touched Lei Mountain at this time, he has just arranged a thunder array. And when his body was arranging the formation, he was injured more than once.
But fortunately, his formation was finally successful, and Zhao Hong breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the fifth-level thunder guidance array in the distance, and then looked at the large array flag in his hand, and thought to himself, if he could really lead all these purple lightning bolts into the formation in the distance, this would be a new initiative. If you can pass through this kind of lightning array in the future and trap the enemy in the formation, its lethal power will be unimaginable!
In the seven or eight days since he entered the depths of Razor's core, he had not gained anything except for paying a lot of materials and squandering his previous savings, let alone getting any natural treasures. Therefore, after arranging the thunder guidance formation, Zhao Hong knew that success or failure would be in one fell swoop. If he fails, his materials and so many days of hard work will be in vain.
Zhao Hong planned to test the effect of the lightning array first, so he took out the first array flag and threw it out, a purple lightning turned into a purple stream, and quickly drilled into the distant lightning array, and instantly made a roar outside the lightning array.
Zhao Hong carefully observed his thunder array, safe and sound, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed. The opportunity must not be lost, time is not waiting, he immediately rushed towards the thunder mountain, the array flag in his hand continued to be thrown out, one after another lightning was led away by him, and violent explosions continued to erupt next to the distant lightning array.
It's just that there are too many lightning bolts on this Thunder Mountain, even if Zhao Hong is fully prepared, he is still hit by many purple lightning bolts. But because a large number of lightning bolts were led away by him, although there were still many blows on his body, there was no need to worry about his life.
Zhao Hong checked the lightning array again at this time and found that the lightning array was no longer as stable as before. He knew in his heart that the level of the formation was still a little lower, and even if it exploded outside the lightning array, the formation would not be able to withstand so much lightning without being damaged. He had to speed up to the top of the mountain, otherwise he would never have a chance once the mine-guiding array was completely destroyed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hong threw down the formation flag all the way, while desperately throwing out the "Thunder Talisman" to absorb the purple thunder source, while running the body quenching technique and the "Wind Resisting Decision" to the extreme, and spared no effort to run to the top of the mountain.
Next to the lightning array at the foot of the mountain, huge mushroom clouds continued to erupt, and that was because the lightning was more and more drawn by the formation flag. At this time, Zhao Hong himself also appeared demon scale armor to defend against the attack of lightning and thunder.
As Zhao Hong continued to go up the mountain, the thunder and lightning above became stronger and stronger, and the blow he himself suffered was also greater, but the thunder and lightning attracted by the thunder array at the foot of the mountain in the distance still did not weaken. In the end, Zhao Hong was afraid that he would be beaten into ashes by the purple lightning bolt, and the array flag in his hand was thrown out faster and faster, and more and more lightning bolts were led away by him.
"Boom ......"
There was a violent explosion, even if Zhao Hong was on top of the Thunder Mountain, he could hear it clearly. He subconsciously looked back, only to find that the explosion was his minefield. There were too many purple lightning bolts that he had taken away, and the lightning array couldn't bear it, so it had already been blown up first.
Zhao Hong's heart sank, and before he had time to think too much, several purple lightning bolts fell.
Without the lightning array, Zhao Hong has no backing to count on. With so many lightning bolts, even if he threw out more lightning talismans, it would be difficult to resist them. Where did Zhao Hong dare to hesitate, and at the same time sacrificed the golden thunder bamboo stick.
"Thunderbolt!"
"Cloud Soul Knife!"
As soon as the thunderbolt was sacrificed by Zhao Hong, it rushed towards the vast purple lightning in the sky without hesitation.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The purple lightning completely engulfed the figure of the "thunderbolt", and then slashed towards the sword several zhang long above Zhao Hong's head.
The purple sword qi stirred up by the "Cloud Soul Knife" and dozens of purple lightning bolts collided together, erupting with a terrifying explosion, the purple sword was hit and splashed everywhere, and the same number of purple thunder arcs were blocked, leaving only a small half to fall on Zhao Hong's body again.
Even if Zhao Hong used the "Witch Book" to the extreme, even if the protective ability of the demon body incarnation was too powerful, Zhao Hong was beaten to the ground. Not only were there charred black wounds all over his body, but he also spurted out several mouthfuls of blood. That uncomfortable feeling made Zhao Hong feel a hundred times more difficult than the two attacks he had hit the "Space Wind Blade" last time.
Compared to this terrifying purple lightning bolt, the original space wind blade was like a woman's gentle touch!
At this moment, even if he asked the old dragon to help him bring him into the ring world again, there was no way to leave Thunder Mountain, and he would also die here. Unless he hides in the ring world for the rest of his life, he has to hope that the ring world will not be defeated by these lightning bolts.
The purple lightning emitted by the Thunder Mountain is not like ordinary heavenly thunder, it crosses the sky one by one, and it can also give you time to rest and breathe. This purple lightning bolt is simply dense and continuous, and there is no meaning of pause at all.
Zhao Hong knew that even if he reached the "Transformation Realm" in the future, he would not be able to resist these terrifying purple lightning bolts. He sighed, and was about to enter to call the old dragon, otherwise the next wave of lightning would arrive soon, so let's save my life first.
Just as he was about to enter the ring world to hide, a shadow as green as a blue wave suddenly appeared in front of him.
The thing that appeared before his eyes was shaped like gold but not gold, wood but not wood, with one end slightly blunt and the other end as flat as a knife cut. It was a slender, flat-bladed thing with a sleek surface and an extremely green color, and the depths of this emerald green reflected a metallic sheen. What surprised Zhao Hong even more was that there were lines all over the surface of this object, and under a closer look, the mysteries were abnormal, each one was different, and there was a faint familiarity.
Zhao Hong stared at the foreign object in front of him and was silent, but suddenly his heart moved, and he was a little sudden. These patterns are somewhat similar to the talisman textures in the Witch Book, but they are somewhat paradoxical.
"Tiger Sword!" Zhao Hong blurted out.
He had never seen the Tiger Soul Knife, and he didn't know why he called out the name of the Tiger Spirit Knife at this time, it was just a subconscious call.
Zhao Hong was so excited that he couldn't care about the next wave of thunder, and as soon as his body showed up, he rushed to the green.
"Boom ......"
In the blink of an eye, countless lightning volleys slashed down in the air.
