Facing the beetles that were constantly surrounding, Shen calmly mobilized his magic weapon and knocked these beetles out.

But the reason why these beetles are called soul eater beetles is because it is not only able to devour flesh and blood, but more importantly, it can devour spiritual power true yuan.

In the impact and bites again and again, Shen Congrong felt that the spiritual power true element had gradually dried up, and it became more and more difficult to resist.

Finally, there was a slight mistake in Shen Congrong's defense, and a beetle pounced on Shen Congrong. Just when the beetle was about to bite down, Shen calmly knocked the beetle out in time to avoid being eaten by the beetle. If a beetle bites a wound, the defenses will be completely broken, and then it will really be over.

Although Shen calmly resolved this crisis, her defense had already had problems, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would be eaten by beetles before she reached the light gate.

Feng Muge on the other side saw that Shen Congrong's situation was very bad, and paid the price of being bitten by two beetles, rushed out of the encirclement of beetles, rushed to Shen Congrong's side, picked her up, and threw her towards the light gate.

Before entering the light gate, Shen Congrong saw a large number of beetles drowning Feng Muge, and couldn't help shouting, "Pastoral!"

But the next moment, Shen calmly entered the light gate, and he could no longer see the scene over there.

Getting up from the ground, Shen Congrong found that it was pitch black around him, and only two feet around him could see things. It's not like the block in the first level.

"Could it be that this is the second level?" An idea popped up in Shen Congrong's mind, but she didn't think too much about it, because Feng Muge didn't come over.

Shen calmly walked to the time when he came, and wanted to bring Feng Muge over, but found that the light gate had disappeared again. This made Shen Congrong very anxious, he didn't know how Feng Muge was now, and he didn't know if Hu Liu could successfully rescue Feng Muge.

Because he arrived at this position after passing through the light gate, Shen Congrong guessed that everyone would come to this position after passing through the light gate. So Shen Congrong sat down directly on the spot, waiting for Feng Muge to appear.

Shen Congrong's idea seemed to be right, and it didn't take long for a bright light to flash, and Feng Muge appeared here.

As soon as he saw Feng Muge, Shen calmly shouted in surprise: "Pastoral! I knew you would be fine, come and let me see if you have any injuries." ”

He stood up and walked quickly to Feng Muge's side, checking if there were any wounds left on Feng Muge's body.

In front of the prism mirror, Han Qu sat up straight when he heard Feng Muge say that those beetles might be Soul Eater beetles, recalling the record of Soul Eater beetles.

"Soul devouring beetles, usually the size of a person's palm, the whole body is black, there are irregular white lines on the back armor, the jaws are sharp, they can swallow the true element of spiritual power, they like to eat flesh and blood, they appear in groups, the largest soul devouring beetle swarm has more than 200,000 of them, and in the chaos six hundred years ago, they have devoured gods and demons. If they do encounter the Soul Eater Beetle, it won't be a good situation, and I think you can be prepared to get them out. Han Qu muttered the record of the Soul Eater Beetle, reminding Hu Liu to be ready to bring them out at any time.

Hu Liu clenched his fists, stared at the picture and said, "I believe in them, take a look." ”

When Shen Congrong and the two of them rushed in the direction of the light gate, the two people on the screen did rush towards the direction of a door.

Looking at the door, Han channel: "This doesn't seem to be the door they walked through when they came in, right?"

Hu Liu thought for a moment about the situation in the wing room in the courtyard and said: "I think they have found the entrance to the second pass, as long as they get out of this door, they will arrive at the door of the second pass." ”

"Oh?" Han Qu said with some surprise: "Then it seems that their luck is really good, they only went to the wrong gate, and the second gate found the end." ”

Hu Liu stared at the picture and said, "Yes, so I said to take a look, I believe they will definitely succeed." ”

In the picture, Shen Congrong and the two stopped a few steps away from the door, thinking that they were blocked by beetles in the phantom array.

Originally, Hu Liu and Han Qu were secretly relieved to see that the two of them were so close to the door, feeling that everything had been settled. But they soon found out that the two of them had stayed in front of the door for a little too long, and if they were defending against the Soul Eater Beetle, then after such a long time, there would definitely be problems with their spiritual power true yuan.

Sure enough, Shen Congrong in the picture took a step back, which made Hu Liu and Han Qu's hearts lift again.

But the next scene was unexpected, Feng Muge rushed to Shen Congrong's side and threw Shen Congrong in the direction of the door, so that Shen Congrong passed the end of the first level and entered the second level.

And they heard Shen Congrong's shout, both of them clenched their fists, watching Feng Muge's performance, but Feng Muge didn't make any moves.

Han Qu turned his head a little stiffly and said to Hu Liu: "You also heard the shouts of Mr., Feng Muge must be in a crisis, really don't bring him out?"

Hu Liu gnawed his nails, sweat faintly appeared on his forehead, and said, "Wait, wait, I believe him." ”

Just as Hu Liu and the others were waiting for Feng Muge's reaction, Shen Congrong's words drew the attention of the two again.

"Hmm, isn't Feng Muge still in the first level?Why did Mr. say that he wanted to see if Feng Muge was injured in any way?" Han Qu glanced at Feng Muge's image and confirmed that Feng Muge was still in that room, but Shen Congrong on the other side seemed to have seen Feng Muge.

Hu Liu looked at Shen Congrong's environment and said: "Mr. has passed the three gates and entered the second level, as mentioned in the introduction picture, the second level is the heart refining level, and they need to break the magic barrier respectively, I think what she sees is still an illusion, it should be the embodiment of the heart demon." ”

"Is it a demon?" Han Qu thought back to the record of the demon.

In the records, the demons are the obsessions in people's hearts, which often appear when the level is broken, and some people will use these obsessions to trigger the demons in people's hearts, so as to achieve a deeper blow. If you can penetrate the demons in your heart, then you will naturally have a firm Dao heart in the future, and the road of cultivation will be smooth. But if you can't find out the demons in your heart, you will be immersed in the illusion forever and never wake up again.

Hu Liu nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the inner demon, it should be seen through soon, but since Mr. can't see through it, it means that it is indeed a demon." In the Inner Demon Illusion, even if they are brought out, if they can't penetrate the Inner Demon, they can still only immerse themselves in the illusion. ”

Han Qu rubbed his hair and said, "Ah, really, isn't this something left by their ancestors, why set up this kind of trial?"

Hu Liu looked at Feng Muge again and said, "I don't know why there is such a trial as the Heart Demon Realm, but this one is still in the first level, if he still doesn't move after ten breaths, he can only be pulled out." ”

Han Qu looked at Feng Muge's image and said, "It's okay to come out early, if something happens in the Heart Demon Realm, it's too late." ”

In the formation, after Feng Muge threw Shen Congrong into the light gate, he was overwhelmed by the beetles, and more than a dozen beetles opened their jaws and bit down towards Feng Muge.

"Ahh

Using spiritual power to make the beetle detach from his body, Feng Muge half-knelt on the ground, and used his spiritual power to make a shield and protect himself for a short time.

The surrounding beetles frantically gnawed at the spiritual power on the shield, and Feng Muge gasped, looking for a possible direction to break through.

But there are beetles on all sides, and there is no possibility of breaking through at all.

Standing up in the shield, Feng Muge saw that the light gate was only five steps away from him.

Sighing, Feng Muge put the long sword in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and read in his mouth: "The sky is vast, the heavens are swinging, burning blood and boiling yuan, and the world is cleansed." ”

Rolling True Yuan poured out of Feng Muge's body, his body exuded a strong light, and with the last four words, Feng Muge opened his eyes, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, some of the beetles leading to the light gate were cut into ashes by this sword, and the rest were all knocked out. From Feng Pastoral to the Light Gate, a passage without beetles appeared.

Taking a breath, Feng Muge ran towards the light gate with his long sword, and entered the light gate before the beetle could re-enclose it.

After Feng Muge also left, the beetles also disappeared, as if there had never been a beetle.

In front of the prism mirror, Han Qu watched Feng Muge suddenly recite a spell, then walked through the door, leaned back on the chair and said, "Even if all the true yuan is consumed, and even his own life span may be consumed, he will enter the next level, it is really worthy of him." Fortunately, the next level is the heart demon environment, and he doesn't need too much true yuan to fight, so I hope he can investigate the heart demon. ”

Hu Liu looked at Feng Muge, who had entered the second level, and said: "He is very similar to his ancestor, I think he will definitely be able to penetrate the demons in his heart." ”

"Really?" Han Qu put away his giggling appearance, looking at Feng Muge, who was praised by Hu Liu, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Entering the second level, Feng Muge saw that it was not pitch black, but in a courtyard, and various flowers were planted in the courtyard. Feng Muge felt that this small courtyard was very familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he walked around, thinking about the information about this small courtyard.

There was a small pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, Feng Muge walked into the pavilion and saw a stone table, two stone benches, and there was nothing on the stone table.

Standing on the edge of the gazebo and looking out, outside the gazebo is a small artificial lake, in which some lotus flowers are planted, but there are no fish and shrimp.

After looking at it for a while, there was no useful information, Feng Muge retracted his gaze and wanted to sit on the stone bench and rest for a while.

As soon as he turned around, Feng Muge saw that there was a person sitting on the stone bench where no one was there, and there was also a teapot and two teacups on the stone table, and that person was pouring tea, it was Shen Congrong.

Feng Muge sat on another stone bench and asked, "Sir, is this place?"

Shen Congrong had already poured the tea, handed Feng Muge a cup and said, "Here, this is your family's garden." ”

"Our garden?" Feng Muge frowned, looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "But there are no these flowers in our garden, and this layout feels weird." ”

Shen said calmly: "Is it strange? Isn't this something you changed personally?"

"I changed it myself?" Feng Muge was even more puzzled, he had no impression of the modification of the garden at all, and said in his heart: "Didn't I break the three levels in Zizhu Ju, this should be the scene of the formation manifestation, why are these words of Mr. so weird, and this pot of tea ......"

Feng Muge picked up the teacup and played with it in his hand, without drinking the tea inside, thinking about the problem.

Shen calmly took a sip of tea, saw that Feng Muge didn't drink it for a long time, and asked, "Why don't you drink it, it's not to your taste?"

Feng Muge shook his head, put down the teacup and said, "No, I'm just thinking about some questions." ”

"Oh, madrigals have troubles, too? Shen Congrong was quite interested, and propped his chin on the table with his hands, making a listening gesture.

Feng Muge asked tentatively, "Sir, do you remember Hu Liu and Zizhuju?"

Shen Congrong said with a smile: "Of course I remember, two months ago, we solved the Python Mountain Rebellion and broke the three levels in Zizhuju, and at that time we also let Hu Liu serve as the protector spirit beast of Great Qin, and on the day I took over as the Qintian Supervisor, His Majesty announced it to the world, why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Two months ago, what time is it now?" Feng Muge suddenly had a bad feeling.

"October 22. Shen Congrong looked at Feng Muge a little strangely, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot, when you faced the beetle in the first level, you sent me into the light gate, but you yourself were besieged by the beetle, and finally lost consciousness, it was Hu Liu who took you out, counting, you have been sleeping for almost two months." ”

"I slept for two months?I lost consciousness in the face of beetles at the first level?" Feng Muge pressed his temples and lowered his head, feeling that something was wrong.

Obviously, he used that trick in a desperate situation, swept away the beetles, and rushed into the light gate. Obviously, this is the place where I arrived after rushing through the light gate, but why did the gentleman in front of me say that he had been asleep for two months? If he really slept for two months, then why was what happened just now so real?

Feng Muge was extremely entangled for a while, and he couldn't tell whether this was in the formation or reality.

The two people in front of the prism listened to Feng Muge's words, and guessed the scene that Feng Muge encountered.

Han channel: "This heart magic realm is really powerful, outsiders seem to be very simple, but in fact, anyone who is hinted at like this will probably doubt themselves." ”

Hu Liu said: "This is the weakness of the human heart, in the face of your relatives and friends, you don't want to doubt it no matter what." ”

"yes. Han Qu sighed: "But if you don't doubt, how can you penetrate the demons in your heart?

Hu Liu didn't know what to say, so he remained silent and looked in the direction of Shen Congrong.

After Shen Congrong came in, Shen Congrong rushed over and checked the injuries on Feng Muge's body.

Seeing the bite marks on Feng Muge's arms and back, Shen calmly took out some medicine and sprinkled it on Feng Muge's wound and said, "It really scared me, I thought you were going to be eaten by those beetles, or you had been pulled out by Hu Liu." ”

Feng Muge smiled: "Sir, can't you trust me, how can those beetles stop me." ”

Putting away the medicine bottle, Shen said calmly: "By the way, I tried those beetles, and it takes a lot of true yuan to resist their attacks, I saw you being overwhelmed by beetles before I came in, how did you rush out?"

Feng Muge said: "Those beetles bite and don't let go, the ones that bite me are just the shields and armor that can be used as charges for charging, and they rush in, and it's strange to say that those beetles disappeared by themselves when they passed through the light gate." ”

As he spoke, Feng Muge looked around and said, "Although it is dark here, there seems to be light around us, and the light gate when we came is gone. ”

Shen calmly nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen it, our bright light can illuminate a two-foot range around us, and it's pitch black here, so it seems that we can only explore slowly." ”

Feng Muge said: "It's just like this, then let's check separately?"

Shen Congrong shook his head and said, "No, let's check together, so as not to encounter something like the Soul Eater Beetle Swarm again, and we will also have a response." ”

Feng Muge said: "It's okay, but after being bitten by those beetles for so long, my spiritual power true yuan has suffered a huge loss, and I need to breathe first." ”

Shen said calmly: "This is nature, you should breathe first." ”

Feng Muge sat cross-legged, ready to settle into pranayama.

Before Feng Muge settled down, Shen Congrong suddenly asked, "Do you remember the description of the second level?"

Feng Muge said: "I don't remember much, it seems that this level is heart refining, right? What's wrong sir, don't you remember?"

"Oh. Shen calmly said: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't remember it suddenly, ask, now I remember." ”

Feng Muge asked, "Does this help us break the formation?"

Shen said calmly: "It shouldn't be of much help, it's just two words that don't know why, by the way, what about your sword?"

Feng Muge scratched his head and said: "I lost it when I rushed over, but it doesn't matter, when I recover almost, it won't be too much worse without a sword, and if you refine your heart, there shouldn't be any fighting." ”

Shen said calmly: "Maybe, but it's better to recover some spiritual power true yuan, just in case." ”

Feng Muge nodded, then settled into pranayama and began to restore the true yuan of spiritual power.

Shen calmly looked at Feng Muge, who was pranayama, and didn't know what he was thinking.

In front of the prism, Han channel: "It seems that Mr. is very vigilant, he got out of his concern so quickly, and he made a few temptations, I think she should have found out." ”

Hu Liu agreed: "Ah, it seems to be true, but I don't know what method Mr. will use to explore this mental magic realm." ”

Han Qu quipped: "Otherwise, let's make a bet to see which of them will first explore the Heart Demon Realm, if you lose, you will give me more things, what a thousand years of spiritual bamboo, spiritual tea, if I lose, I will suffer a loss, and personally build an ancestral hall for you." ”

Hu Liu glanced at Han Qu like a fool and did not speak.
