(Today's second update, and thank you again for the reward from 906281.qdcn Daoyou.) ）

Five days later, Lin Quan's group of ten had gone deep into the deepest part of the fourth layer of the bone cave.

At this moment, a large pitch-black hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and bursts of rich ghost qi continued to float out of it, and from time to time, one or two junior ghost pawns would rush out of it.

"This is the passage to the fifth floor, everyone should get ready. ”

Xiao Hengyu held the purple giant sword with a solemn expression, and his body was instantly covered with a thick layer of earthy yellow breastplate. The awe-inspiring sword qi continued to expand and contract irregularly around his body, the short one was more than three inches long, and the longest one was more than a foot long. From a distance, he looked like a "hedgehog" covered with swords.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and I can't imagine that Brother Xiao's 'Kun Ling Sword Technique' has new magical powers, it's really gratifying!"

Zhang Banyue praised without hesitation, and strode to Xiao Hengyu's side, and the whole person was shrouded in a layer of dark golden light under the destruction of the Heavenly Demon Floating Slaughter Technique.

Glancing at the violently tumbling black qi on the "Yin Yang Plate" again, Lin Quan casually took out the Sancai Sword and neatly slapped a top-level defensive talisman seal on his body.

The others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly used their own means to make sufficient defensive preparations, and for a while, ten colorful spiritual light clusters lit up in the dark cave one after another.

"Amitabha, the little monk is gone!"

After everyone was ready, Konghui lightly pronounced the Buddha name and went into it first. It seemed that after advancing the condensate, he was extremely confident in his defensive ability.

Xiao Hengyu and Zhang Banyue did not show weakness, and followed closely behind Kong Hui and threw themselves into the cave.

Then the others all rushed in, Lin Quan, who was walking at the end, looked back for a while, and after a little hesitation, he suddenly threw out more than ten glittering gadgets, and then followed with a mysterious footwork.

It's not that he is afraid of danger and does not dare to go to the fifth floor.

The main thing is that this time he entered the bone cave for five whole days, and he has not noticed that someone is peeping behind him, this unusual situation not only did not reassure him, but became more vigilant.

Although his spiritual sense could not be detected, he had a strong feeling in his heart.

This time there is still someone hanging them in secret!

It's just that maybe the strength of the tracker this time is too strong, so strong that even his spiritual sense far beyond that of a monk of the same level can't sense it.

You must know that when he advanced the condensation, the fusion of the rudimentary form of divine consciousness and his own spiritual consciousness that he accidentally obtained due to the "unity of heaven and man" in the Zhang family in Qianqiao went one step further. To put it mildly, even a late-stage condensation monk couldn't completely hide it from his ears and eyes for a long time.

Could it be that the one in the back was actually a certain Ning Dan elder from Black Rock City?

This elder is just going to the seventh layer to clear out those "ghost guard" level skeletons?

Or was he here to spy on us?

Or is it...... I?

In an instant, Lin Quan thought of a lot, and combined with this sudden "Dry Bone Bead" mission, he had a bad guess in his heart.

For this reason, he deliberately fell to the end, and set up a simple small magic circle at the entrance of the fifth floor.

In fact, at the beginning, he wanted to secretly scatter some homemade spirit mulberry leaf powder, and then use the spirit incense silkworm to find the person who peeped. But it was precisely because of the not-so-good premonition that he switched to a small magic circle.

Anyway, he just needed to know if someone was really following them behind them.

It is unlikely that the homemade Lingsang powder will be hidden from the Ning Dan Cultivator, and it has also been used when killing Yue Tianying. Once discovered, there is a kind of desire to cover up, and there is no silver three hundred taels here.

............

Lin Quan didn't know that it was his perception of danger and cautious habits that saved him.

Not long after he entered the fifth floor, a ghostly figure silently came to the entrance of the cave where they had just stayed.

This person stood silently two or three feet away from the entrance of the cave with his hands behind his back, although he did not show a trace of spiritual power fluctuations on his body, nor did he sacrifice the task weapon, but the rich yin qi in the bone cave could not get close to his body at all.

"A small Touch Array? Hehe, that's interesting. ”

"Well, to be able to skillfully arrange a Touch Spirit Array in this environment within three breaths, it seems that the kid surnamed Lin has a deep knowledge in the formation technique, so it should be unlikely that that person is him......"

The man muttered two words, and his voice seemed very old.

The mysterious old man was not impatient, and waited for a cup of tea before his steps moved slightly, ready to enter the cave. That small Touch Array couldn't have worked on him at all.

At this moment, two skeleton ghost pawns touched him from behind him at some point.

However, before they could swing the sword in their hands, two emerald green points of light the size of rice grains popped out of the mysterious old man's hands, and the bodies of the two skeletons hit by this inconspicuous light suddenly stiffened, and then trembled violently.

In less than two breaths, the glow in their eye sockets was instantly extinguished, and countless bone frames were scattered all over the ground in the soft sound of "bang".

Two green lights floated back in front of the old man very spiritually, reflecting an ordinary old face. If Lin Quan and the others were present, they would be able to recognize at a glance that this elder was the flower elder among the four elders currently on duty in Black Rock City.

............

"Boom" in the storm.

A gray-black skeleton with a thin body and two pitch-black short blades in both hands was shocked by Zhang Banyue's heavy punch.

It looked thin, but the gray-black bones of its body were extremely strong, and it was not damaged at all when it received a blow from the "Demon Floating Fist" in the front.

And when Zhang Banyue was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, it rolled on the spot, instantly turned into a burst of black fog and dodged, and when the black fog dissipated, there was no trace of it, as if it was completely integrated into the surrounding darkness.

"Phew, this 'Shadow Black Skull' is really tough, let it run again. ”

Zhang Banyue spit out hatefully, and his fists slammed into his chest, and the dark golden light around his body became stronger and stronger.

"Everyone, be careful, it's already out of my spiritual lock!" Hu Yue, who was also a step late, was also annoyed, and the two bloody knives cut out several deep knife marks where the black skeleton disappeared.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Hu, don't be angry, speaking of which, this assassin-like 'Reverse Shadow Black Skull' is also one of the most powerful characters in the fifth layer, I think it will definitely have a 'dry bone bead' in its head!"

Xiao Hengyu licked his dry lips, and his fighting spirit was quite strong. But considering the safety of Lian Bingyun and the others, he and Konghui didn't dare to stay too far away. After all, these five-story caves are more intricate, and there must always be someone good at melee combat to protect one or two of them.

Yu Lingfeng unwillingly encouraged Qingyi to blow a strong wind around, but this all-round wind still couldn't find a trace of the black skeleton, as if it had turned into a ubiquitous ghost, completely unaffected.

"What should I do? This's 'reverse shadow technique' is so weird, we don't know if it's retreating or hiding on the sidelines and waiting for an opportunity, we can't be passive here now, right?"

Yu Lingfeng's words made everyone feel a sense of powerlessness.

It had been more than thirty days since they entered the fifth floor this time, and it was not the first time they had encountered this kind of Reverse Shadow Black Skull.

If it goes head-to-head, this kind of skeleton that is only good at stealth and sneak attack is nothing, and any duo can deal with it. But in this kind of place, it is like a nightmare for everyone, making people completely unable to advance or retreat.

I still remember the first time they encountered this skeleton, their whole team waited somewhere for more than a day to prepare for a possible sneak attack, only to find out that the Shadow Black Skull had abandoned them a long time ago.

But the second time, when they agreed that the invisible Shadow Black Skull was gone, it turned out that it suddenly jumped out to join the battle group when the four mid-stage ghost pawns were fiercely fought not long after, and Yu Lingfeng and Xuan Yeyi were both stabbed by it, if it weren't for their thick net worth and the clothes and dresses they wore had good defensive capabilities, there might have been casualties at that moment.

It was with the second lesson that they really didn't dare to let the black skeleton go on their way now. It's five floors deep, and no one dares to bet on it.

"Why don't you fellow Daoists protect the Dharma one or two first, and Rong Lin arrange a simple magic circle here?"

Just when everyone was at a loss and retreated, Lin Quan suddenly came up with an idea that made everyone's eyes light up.

"Circle, although this place is quite flat, it seems to be a little small if you want to set up a formation. ”

After the surprise, Lei Ruolan and Lian Bingyun glanced at the current terrain and frowned.

They also carried array equipment, but if they wanted to restrict the Shadow Black Skull, they had to be at least a second-order magic circle, and if they wanted to arrange this kind of sacrificial array and array flag, there were clear restrictions on the formation type, and the size of it would not be enough at all.

"Although the two fairies can rest assured, they are not using refined array equipment, so although this place is a little smaller, it is still enough to arrange a simple second-order exploration array!"

Lin Quan didn't care about being modest at this time, once he returned to Black Rock City now, he might not have time to collect ten dry bone beads in the remaining time. Until now, each of them had only been given seven.

"Hey, I didn't expect Lin Daoyou to be a formation mage?"

"Great, you're really hidden!"

"Lin Daoyou, don't worry, I can still do this little thing!"

Lin Quan's confident look made everyone's hearts reassured, if they could persevere, who would want to go back so disgraced.

"Then without further ado, Senior Brother Lin, please quickly set up the formation!"

Mo Bingyue glanced at Lin Quan deeply, and then took a few steps back with the jade Jiaojiao scissors in his hand to protect his Dharma.

Lin Quan didn't say much, waved his hand and took out a bunch of special magic weapons for array mages, and then held a crystal bead in his hand and calculated it back and forth.

Soon, he methodically began to plant small flags, bury small beads and spirit stones, and in less than an hour, a second-order magic circle with only the ability to explore was completed.

Of course, Lin Quan slowed down the speed of the formation as usual, and the technique was relatively rough.

The result of his doing this is that everyone will admire it without feeling too abrupt and amazing. After all, as long as he is willing to put in the effort, his kind of formation technique attainment is nothing at all, it is an unexpected but reasonable thing.
