138 Not in the array
Xie Fangwu and Xu Rong were not very good at fighting at first glance, and in the face of the stone hands all over the ground, the two were obviously in a hurry, especially Xu Rong, who majored in water spells, her feet had been firmly nailed to the pumice stones, and more and more stone hands were clinging to her legs, and it didn't take long for them to climb up to the knee bend.
Xu Rong broke down and cried loudly, "Ah, Senior Sister, Brother Xiao, there are so many hands, help me, help me, ......"
However, Xiao Muxue and Xie Fangwu were also too busy to take care of themselves, and they couldn't help.
The broken stone hand was brushed away and fell into the spring water under the pumice stone, and in addition to the popping sound of entering the water, there was also a sizzling sound that made people feel creepy.
Xiao Yi was slightly startled, "What sound?"
Luo Qingli said in a deep voice: "That is the corpse fountain below, and anything that falls will be wiped out." ”
Everyone's complexion changed, and they became deeply jealous of the spring below.
At this time, Xu Rong suddenly screamed, but it was the pumice stone she was in that suddenly descended down, one step closer to the corpse spring.
"Brother Xiao, Senior Sister Xiao, Senior Sister Xie!"
Xu Ronghua's face was pale, her lower body was completely submerged in the stone hand, she began to throw the talisman one by one, but her legs and feet seemed to grow together with these stone hands, and the broken stone hands seemed to have become a part of her body, making her feel bursts of pain.
Xu Rong didn't dare to make a move anymore, and stood in place helplessly.
The pumice stone that radiated blue brilliance under her feet fell faster and faster, and the bottom had already touched the corpse fountain, and the part that touched it was bubbling out with fine and dense black bubbles, which melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon spread to the surface of the pumice stone.
"Wow——!"
Xu Rong's feet began to dip into the spring water, and the terrible screams were endless, making people's scalps tingle when they heard it.
"Senior sister, Brother Xiao, save me...... I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
A fervent shout echoed in this dark and boundless space, and later, Xu Rong couldn't make a sound anymore, she stretched out her hand towards the people in the sky, the brilliance in her eyes became more and more dim, and the vitality was also stripped away.
Fear, helplessness, despair, fear...... Xu Rong's expression stiffened on her face, and her body sank into the corpse spring along with the pumice stone, and the spring water swallowed everything cleanly, leaving not even a trace of blood.
Luo Qingli tightened his eyebrows, everyone's mood was so heavy, looking at the endless stone hands in front of him, his heart was cold.
At this time, Xie Fangwu screamed again, but she was grabbed by a stone hand on the ankle of her left foot without checking.
Xu Rong's experience of the past was in front of her, Xie Fangwu was so frightened that she burst into tears, and her body trembled.
She looked at the stone hand that had climbed up, and she didn't know where she got the courage and determination, so she raised her hand and condensed a fire knife and slashed it hard at her left foot.
After the tragic cry of pain, the left leg below the knee had disappeared, Xie Fangwu trembled in pain, her head was covered with cold sweat, and she couldn't even stand steadily, but this finally freed her from the shackles of the stone hand.
Bright red blood gushed out from Xie Fangwu's broken leg, and the rich smell of blood lingered in front of everyone's noses, and everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier.
But unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, these stone hands suddenly stopped and shrank back.
Everything was calm again, and the pumice stone under everyone's feet suddenly moved again.
But this time it wasn't sinking, it was panning together and splicing into a single piece.
Xie Fangwu was lying on the ground half dead, her severed left leg still lying there quietly, stained with blood.
Xiao Muxue hurriedly ran over and fed her a few pills, looking at her broken leg and panicking.
"Senior Sister Xie, this, what should I do......" Seeing this scene, Xiao Muxue had no idea at all at this time, and she was so anxious that she was half holding Xie Fangwu.
Luo Qingli clenched the Frost Sword tightly, vigilant about everything around him, Xiao Yi's face was grim, and he secretly gritted his teeth, but it was the man in black who looked at the broken leg and a pool of blood on the ground, thoughtful.
Xie Fangwu was so pained that she swayed, her face was bloodless, her pale lips closed one by one, and she murmured with tears: "Why, why...... Obviously, she was just helping Senior Sister Xiao catch the thief, why is this happening. ”
Rows of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and Xiao Muxue blamed herself even more when she heard it.
She and her two junior sisters followed Master to Jumang City to participate in the auction, but after the end, she separated from Master and invited the two junior sisters to Xiao's house as guests.
The Xiao family was originally a medium-sized immortal cultivator family nearby, but with the fall of several generations of elders, there were no Jindan monks, and they gradually declined, but the ancestors still had high-level monks in the end, and there were some scarce accumulations in the family, and this seven-colored begonia was one of them.
These thieves, I don't know how they used to steal into the Xiao family's treasury and steal the seven-colored begonias, fortunately, there is still a hidden prohibition in the warehouse, they stole things, but the ban was triggered, which alarmed the Xiao family.
The two junior sisters had good intentions and helped them catch the thief, but now one died in the corpse spring, and the other broke a leg.
Xiao Muxue really doesn't know how to explain when she returns to the door!
Xie Fangwu grabbed Xiao Muxue's hand and cried silently, "Senior sister, I don't want to die......"
Xiao Muxue was very sad, and tears rained down, the more she cried, the more angry she became, and suddenly grabbed the flower basket and beat the man in black.
"It's all you, it's all because of you!"
Handfuls of petals were thrown out mercilessly.
Even if it is the best Qi Rejuvenation Pill, it will take time to recover the spiritual power, and after the battle with Shi Shou, the spiritual power on the man in black is almost exhausted.
Under normal circumstances, if Xiao Muxue in the early stage of foundation building fought alone with the man in black, he would definitely lose, but now that he is so virtuous, why not take advantage of his illness to kill him?
Xiao Muxue was already carried away by anger, and Xiao Yi couldn't stop it.
The man in black squinted slightly, with a touch of the storage bag, a doll the size of a palm fell on the palm of his hand, and the doll grew into an adult-sized size when he saw the wind, and it was also a man in black, his skin was bright bronze, but his facial expression was extremely stiff.
Luo Qingli jumped slightly from his eyebrows, this doll-turned-man is naturally not a real person, to be exact, it should be a puppet.
As we all know, there are five arts in the Daomen, alchemy, refining, array, talisman making, and beasts, among the nine sects of Nanzhao, there are also sects that specialize in studying one of the arts, and in addition to these five arts, there are some relatively obscure Taoist arts, such as psychic, corpse refining, Gu control, etc., in the Central Plains Twelve Dao Towers there are some more detailed divisions.
A puppet is actually a puppet made of a special material, which originated from puppetry, and there are similar puppet puppet shadows in the world, which controls the puppet's every move by manipulating the line.
Those who are proficient in the art of puppets are called Yanshi, and they are the same as alchemists, alchemists, etc., Yanshi is also a special profession, but the number of Yanshi is even rarer than that of alchemists.
The puppet's body is inlaid with top-grade spirit stones, which are used as the energy source for its movements, and its actions are controlled by the master's divine sense.
In Nanzhao, it is rare to see a puppet, and this kind of thing is rare on the market, and even if there is, the price must be very high.
The puppet that the man in black took out was not too high-level, but the grade of the foundation building period was still there, and with a slight movement of his divine sense, this puppet blocked in front of him, blocking all of Xiao Muxue's attacks.
Even if his spiritual power is exhausted, as long as his divine sense can still be used, as long as there is enough spiritual stone supply, he still has the ability to fight, and when the puppet puppet fights for him, he can also recover his own state.
Xiao Muxue's eyes widened, she couldn't strike a blow, and she wanted to step forward again, but she was pulled over by Xiao Yi.
"Big brother, don't stop me, it's all because of them! Because of them, we will fall into this place, because of their Senior Sister Xu, and Senior Sister Xie's legs...... I'm going to avenge them!"
Xiao Muxue shouted that she wanted to rush over to settle accounts with the man in black, she was full of embarrassment, screaming madly, how could she still have the fairy demeanor in front of people.
The man in black smiled indifferently, "Are you sure you want to do it here?"
Xiao Yi's face was slightly cold, although he was also eager to cut people with a thousand knives, but he also had to consider the current occasion.
Now everyone is trapped here, just grasshoppers on the same rope, and the top priority is not to involve those grievances and grievances, but how to get out of this hellish place.
Xu Rong is dead, Xie Fangwu is basically gone, they are all injured again, their spiritual power is also lost, and there are only four people who have basic combat ability, and they don't know what awaits them next, if they want to go out, they have to cooperate, one more person will have more strength, maybe it is this power that they can leave safely.
No amount of hatred or hatred is more important than a small life.
Only by living can there be hope.
Xiao Yi knows this truth very well, so no matter how angry he is, he has to calm down.
He grabbed Xiao Muxue and reasoned with her.
The noisy Luo Qingli did not participate.
Xiao Muxue is impulsive, but fortunately, Xiao Yi is an understanding person, and the man in black is a tricky man, so he must know what to do at this time.
Luo Qingli took a pill and looked around, not knowing if it was her illusion, she always felt as if something was secretly spying on them, that feeling was very subtle, but when she wanted to capture it carefully, she didn't find anything.
The man in black looked at the few people on the pumice stone with an expressionless face, he seemed to be unhurried on the surface, but in fact, his mental state was extremely tense, even if there were puppets to help, if these people really wanted to fight him to the death, he couldn't help it.
Xiao Muxue calmed down in the end and agreed to put aside her personal grievances for the time being, but she still stared at the man in black with red eyes.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath, looked at the man in black and the foundation puppet beside him, and said lightly, "Daoyou is not from Nanzhao, right?"
The man in black said dispensably: "Yes or no, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Since we are all here, we might as well open the skylight and say something." We don't know what the situation of this place is, and if we want to leave here, we have to work together, and a few fellow Daoists have no opinion, right?"
Luo Qingli nodded, and the man in black also bowed slightly.
Xiao Yi said again: "In this case, everyone should also have a minimum understanding of each other, so that they can cooperate in the future." As he spoke, he picked up the scimitar in his hand, "I major in earth-based spells, and I'm good at knife techniques. ”
Xiao Muxue said sullenly: "I major in wood-based spells. ”
Luo Qingli raised his eyes and said, "Majoring in ice spells, good at swordsmanship, and a little bit of formation." ”
Xiao Yi and the man in black both looked at her when they heard this.
Luo Qing knew that Luo Qing had passed the formation method, and earlier she had broken the formation set up by the man in black, but she majored in ice spells, so wasn't it a mutated ice spirit root?
Of course, some cultivators of the water spirit root will also choose the ice type technique, after all, compared to the mild water type spell, the ice type is undoubtedly more aggressive.
Xie Fangwu, who was half-dead on the ground, had no strength to speak, and only the man in black was left present who had not confessed.
He glanced at a few people, and slowly spat out: "Shi Mo, major in wind spells, slightly familiar with formation methods and puppet techniques. ”
Luo Qingli's eyes moved slightly, and he was basically sure that he had not guessed wrong, this person should be the mutated wind spirit root, as for the name, who knows if "Shi Mo" is real, maybe it is just a pseudonym like her Pei Key.
However, the name is sometimes a code name, what his true identity is, Luo Qingli doesn't care.
Xiao Yi nodded, looked at the dark space around him, and asked, "Since the two Daoists both know the formation, I don't know what we should do now?"
The stones floating under their feet, the strange stone hands born on the stones, and the unknown space that could not be explored, Xiao Yi thought that they were trapped in the formation, as long as they broke the formation, they could find their way out.
Luo Qingli turned his hand and took out the Five Elements Bagua Disk, his fingertips flicked on the plate, and a circle of spiritual power spread out like a wave, if he was in the formation, there would be different spiritual power fluctuations, in addition to combing the spiritual power, the Five Elements Bagua Disk could also amplify this fluctuation, so that she could detect the traces of the formation.
But Luo Qingli was so tentative for a long time, but the spiritual power that spread in all directions was like a stone ox like a sea, stretching to an unknown distance, without any response.
Shi Mo stood in place, not moving at all, the magic weapon on his body that could distinguish the existence of the formation did not react, so there was only one possibility.
Shi Mo said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, we are not in the formation at all. ”
Xiao Yi and Xiao Muxue both wrinkled their eyebrows, obviously disbelieving this statement, and looked at Luo Qingli again.
Compared with Shi Molai, they obviously believed Luo Qingli's words more.
However, Luo Qingli also gave the same conclusion: "There is no formation around here. ”
"How is this possible!" Xiao Yi couldn't believe it.
If there is no formation, then how can the pumice stone under their feet and the previous stone hand be explained, is it still natural?
Without the formation, there is no way to break out of the formation, so how are they going to leave!
