Chapter 261: Breaking into the Stone Statue
Because of the strength he showed, no one went to trouble Shi Xiaole anymore.
After all, even if he is a five-fold master of Xuanqi, it is impossible to easily deal with him, in case he consumes his internal strength because of this, it will not be good to be beaten upside down.
A little more than a day, Shi Xiaole finally climbed the weird bamboo forest. I don't know if it's an illusion, as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt an invisible qi flow through his body and disappear without a trace.
"Is this the power of the formation, if I have the cultivation of the Spirit Pass Realm, I will be attacked by the formation?"
Shi Xiaole thought secretly, his feet were a little, and he disappeared into the bamboo forest in the blink of an eye.
"This kid has a lot of secrets. ”
Zhongtian Laosuo's time had not yet come, so he could only watch Shi Xiaole leave first.
......
The bamboos of the strange bamboo forest are not green, but red, and glow magnificently in the sun. The ground is also covered with red leaves, and there are occasional paths that lead to the depths, mysterious and remote.
Shi Xiaole chose one of them and walked in.
After about two quarters of an hour, the bamboo forest was slightly sparse, and many figures appeared. The Shadow Center is an open space covering an area of dozens of square meters and arranged in a chessboard layout. In each of the four directions, there is a mottled stone statue of adult height.
At this moment, a swordsman was standing on the checkerboard, withstanding the successive attacks of the four stone statues.
After dozens of moves, the swordsman was knocked down.
"Wang Yulang is really the fourth cultivator of Xuanqi, so he has lasted for so long. And these four stone statues are too hard, but they are not damaged. ”
"What do you know, this is the masterpiece of the Four Elephant Sect thousands of years ago, I heard that the disciples of the Four Elephant Sect can fight ten with one in the same realm, and the material of the stone statue is too poor. ”
"Alas, I don't think I have comprehended the unity of man and sword, don't think about passing the first level. But the first level is so difficult, how strong should the disciples of the Four Elephant Sect be back then?"
The crowd let out exclamations of varying sizes.
The entire weird bamboo forest is arranged in a ring, and there are many stone statues of the first level on the outermost periphery, so only by passing the first level can you successfully enter the second level area.
It's a pity that although Qingxue Prefecture is very large, those who can comprehend the realm of the unity of man and weapon at the level of the Xuanqi Realm are either sect elites or master disciples, and there are very few ordinary Jianghu guests.
Therefore, most people come here to use the stone statue to improve their combat skills, and it is better to be able to comprehend the unity of man and weapon.
"This time the opportunity has run out, and I have to go back to grab the meditation stone again. ”
"I waited for three months before it was my turn, forget it, let's go to other places in the rivers and lakes to improve my strength first, otherwise I won't be able to grab it. ”
Many people were about to leave, but suddenly saw Shi Xiaole coming and stopped again.
"Shi Shaoxia, you have finally arrived. ”
Hu Hao laughed and greeted him. He also went up and tried it once just now, but only blocked thirty-six moves of the stone statue.
"This person should be Shi Xiaole, presumably it is not difficult to pass the first hurdle. ”
"Oh, that's him?"
Before Shi Xiaole fought with Lin Laosan, many people paid attention to it, and it was not difficult to guess his identity. And those who have been stuck in the first level for a long time can't help but be a little interested when they hear everyone's words.
"Guan Fei of the Guan family has passed the third level, I don't know how many levels Shi Xiaole can pass?"
"The third level is impossible, and the second level has a fifty percent chance. ”
"Fifty percent? Isn't it too exaggerated, you must know that even if you are a peak swordsman with a combination of human and sword, you can't pass the second level. ”
In the midst of the discussion, Shi Xiaole walked to the front of the stone statue.
The stone statue array is composed of eighty-eight or sixty-four stone grids, and Shi Xiaole observed it just now and found that the stone statues moved back and forth through the gaps between the stone grids, like some kind of advanced combined attack formation.
"We've already tested it, why don't Shi Shaoxia go up and give it a try, so that we can open our eyes. ”
A gray-clad swordsman laughed loudly.
"Yes, yes, for a genius like Shi Shaoxia, it must take less than fifteen moves to pass the first level. ”
Someone immediately echoed it, causing many people at the scene to look different.
Shi Xiaole rose too fast, so fast that people couldn't help but be jealous.
The two of them just now were not so much praise as killing. In case Shi Xiaole made a mistake, or didn't break through within fifteen moves, they would have said it.
But if you want to break through the first level of the garment within fifteen moves, how can it be so easy. Two months ago, there was a swordsman at the peak realm of human and sword integration, and it took thirty-three moves to pass the first level.
And that swordsman, but an old man who has experienced a hundred battles, no matter experience or strain, is not comparable to the young Shi Xiaole.
"Geniuses also need time to grow, Shi Shaoxia is still trying for the first time, and it is great to be able to pass the test. ”
Hu Hao couldn't help but speak for Shi Xiaole and reminded everyone.
Indeed, in terms of age, in the history of Selangor, very few people have been able to break through the first stone statue before the age of twenty. Asking Shi Xiaole with fifteen moves is too strict.
Many people snorted secretly.
Shi Xiaole smiled kindly at Hu Hao, and this time he didn't need to be urged by everyone, and jumped onto the stone lattice. In an instant, an invisible pressure pressed on him, forcing him to use his internal force.
Rumble.
The four stone statues immediately moved. Shi Xiaole found that the speed of the stone statue was much slower than the previous one.
"I see, the power of the formation of the stone statue array will adjust the attack strength according to the cultivation of the interloper, so that the influence of the realm is excluded, and the realm and combat skills of the instrument path are simply tested. What kind of existence was the Four Elephant Gate back then. ”
The thought was fleeting, and the four stone statues rushed towards them like pies, either punching or palming, and the surging and violent energy was enough to crush the four Qi Ninefold Masters at the same time.
If Shi Xiaole chooses to defend, he will definitely be restrained everywhere, if he chooses to attack, then he must first pay attention not to be hit by the other party, and he must also ensure that he can repel the stone statue.
As for flying away with light skills, I'm sorry, once your feet leave the stone lattice, the formation will stop working, and you will be deemed to have failed to break through the level.
So whether it's attacking, defending, or dodging, it's not a very good choice.
At this moment, Shi Xiaole finally knew the difficulty of the stone statue array, no wonder there were so many Xuanqi Realm masters in Qingxue Prefecture, and there were not many people who could break through.
"Why should I follow your pace. ”
There is no panic, no confusion, what Shi Xiaole has is just an indomitable edge. He never likes to be led by the nose, a real master, can always control the overall situation, it's not me who follows you, but you follow me.
Bite......
A series of gold and iron clashes sounded, like beads falling on a jade plate, and the continuous stabbing sound was actually connected in a line in the end, regardless of each other.
In the spark spray, Shi Xiaole stabbed three times in a row, forcing the movement of the stone statue in front of him to stop, half of the fist was powerful and nowhere to go, like a child shooting a gun, and the full backlash suddenly erupted in all directions.
Shi Xiaole seemed to have anticipated this step in advance, and his body moved horizontally to the right, with an impartial orientation, just stopping at the flaw in the palm technique of the stone statue on the right.
The stone statue on the right side is also very good, but it does not advance but retreats.
With an indifferent face, Shi Xiaole's arm exerted force, and the blade of the Qingfeng Sword smashed on the back of the stone statue on the right almost at the same time, causing its movements to stop for a moment.
Boast!
The fist struck, shaking the stone statue on the right side violently, and it froze.
Solve one stone statue and leave three simple. The combined attack formation pays attention to group cooperation, and if one piece is missing, the power exerted will be reduced by at least fifty percent.
The sword qi is like a rainbow, fast and slow overlapping, and wherever Shi Xiaole's long sword is swung, there is an impermeable sword shadow.
Brush.
Shi Xiaole put his sword into the sheath.
After three breaths, the shadow of the sword in the air faded, leaving behind four stone statues that were completely motionless.
Whether it's looking forward to it, watching a good show, or staying indifferent, everyone can't help but inhale at this time.
There are also people's eyes, which almost bulge out of their sockets.
"Seven, seven swords, he only had seven swords in total just now?"
"Hallucinations, hallucinations for sure. ”
"I've heard that if the interloper can meet certain requirements, he will be rewarded by the master of the Four Elephant Gate hidden in the stone statue, I don't know if Shi Xiaole has any hope. ”
If before this, there were still many people who thought that Shi Xiaole's rumors were too exaggerated, then now, there is no doubt left, only the shock in their hearts.
The two people who deliberately killed Shi Xiaole before had their faces twitching, and they wanted to say something, but they couldn't say anything.
Zhongtian Laosu was also in the crowd, with a deep expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Shi Shaoxia, you have passed the first level, you must not go down, go directly to the next level, otherwise you will start again. ”
Hu Hao said loudly.
Of course, Shi Xiaole knew this rule, nodded at Hu Hao, and walked to the next path through the stone statue array. Behind him, everyone was immediately cut off by the formation and disappeared without a trace.
"I don't know what the next few levels will be. ”
In the battle just now, Shi Xiaole only used three or four percent of his strength, and he didn't even use his sword heart.
Since the consummation of Qi Fugong, his mental power has reached a higher level, to the point that even the peak masters of the Xuan Qi Realm cannot be compared, so his ability to grasp the fighter is so strong that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
In the area where the second level is located, there is no path, and the Jianghu guests who come in can walk around at will. Along the way, Shi Xiaole found several people in the rivers and lakes with terrifying breaths, as well as some corpses.
This is another attraction of the spooky bamboo forest.
Because of the relationship between the masters of the Spirit Pass Realm who cannot enter, this place has instead become a refuge for many masters of the Entrance Realm, and there are many people who die of old age here, and the things on their bodies are left here.
Coupled with the factors such as fire and fighting, for the masters who can enter the second level, this is simply a treasure, and with a little luck, you may be able to find the baby you like.
Of course, where there are opportunities, there are dangers. Some people have secretly regarded Shi Xiaole as a fat sheep, but they are not in a hurry to do it. If the opponent can't make it through the second level, it's not too late to do it.
The first level has four stone statues, and the second level has eight.
Twenty-three swords.
Shi Xiaole easily passed the second level.
"What?"
A few people hiding in the shadows change color.
