Chapter 259: Endless Darkness

Xie Ting quickly replied, "I can't see. I've tried some of the tricks, but they don't shine at all. ”

Wan Peng heard her say this, but he breathed a sigh of relief gently. It seems that this is not his own problem. Perhaps, this is the phantom array of this layer, which restricts the transmission of light.

He could clearly feel that after this period of time, everyone began to get a little anxious. Without asking Hou Ruoting's opinion, Wan Peng directly raised his voice, "Everyone, pay attention." I'm Wan Peng. Now at this level, it is a test of the mind. We have to be firm in our minds and get out of here, or we will be devoured. However, I don't know exactly what form it will take. ”

Wan Peng paused for a moment, and then said, "In addition, what I want to tell you is that there is a phantom array here. I have just tried, and any light will be swallowed up by this phantom array, and our spiritual consciousness, after a certain amount of divergence, will also be swallowed. So, you don't have to try to use certain lighting methods, and don't get anxious about the darkness in our eyes. What we need to do now is to calm down and wait for the test. ”

After he finished saying this, Hou Ruoting directly added, "Have you all heard Senior Brother Wanpeng's words? Don't mess up, stay defensive now, and whoever makes a new discovery will immediately report it directly to the whole team." ”

Wan Peng smiled bitterly. Now, his spiritual sense is the strongest here, and even the scope of his spiritual sense is limited, what special situation can others find?

He turned his hand over again and lit a pillar of incense, and held it in his hand like that. The anxious voices around him gradually weakened, and under his and Hou Ruoting's words, the team quickly calmed down again.

But when in absolute darkness, one does become sensitive and vulnerable!

A pillar of incense burns out. The second pillar of incense was also burned. In the midst of this darkness, nothing has changed. The whole team remained calm, no one spoke, and no one moved.

An hour has passed. Wan Peng did not feel tired under such a high level of concentration. However, why has this phantom array not changed?

And at this moment, he suddenly found that there was one person missing from the team.

Although his spiritual sense has been in the strongest state of release, he has not even noticed how this person disappeared! Could it be that this is the so-called being devoured?

"Liyang, have you seen it?" Wan Peng entered the inner world and found that Liyang was also in a state of tension. Liyang shook his head at this time, "I don't have a clue at all." I really don't know how this mind is tested. ”

At this moment, there is one less!

These disappeared people didn't even have time to shout. And the second person is very close to the first. In other words, he must have felt that after the first person disappeared, he was affected in some way.

Wan Peng didn't stop in his inner world for long, withdrew, and lived in this darkness again. In this short period of time, the third person, also near the disappearance of the first and second people, disappeared again!

Suddenly, he suddenly understood something.

The so-called mental test is not necessarily a tangible test, but an invisible test.

Darkness, which cannot be used to create a bright environment with any magic tricks, is not it also a way that is very easy for people to have a mental breakdown? Think about it, if you are the only one who comes in, in this darkness, you can't feel anything, you can't see anything, and at the same time you can't find the door, won't you slowly turn from anxiety to despair?

So, this mental test is a test in the darkness!

This mental test is to use this darkness to shake our determination to go out. If the resolve is shaken, it will be devoured. Please don't be impatient, I conclude that when the time comes, we will be able to free ourselves from this layer!"

Wan Peng's words brought a glimmer of hope to the team that was originally a little restless. But this time, Hou Ruoting didn't say anything behind him. Wan Peng could clearly feel from the spiritual feedback that Hou Ruoting herself was still in an extremely nervous state.

Wan Peng also noticed that Xie Ting was relatively calm from beginning to end. It's just that she kept holding the corner of Wan Peng's clothes with one hand.

Two hours of darkness is enough to test the mind of an ordinary person, and enough to make a vulnerable person crazy!

After an hour and a half, Wan Peng simply pulled Xie Ting to sit down and enter the cultivation state. He was sure that in the midst of this darkness, there would be no enemies. Right now, people's worst enemy is themselves, their deep fear of darkness. After Wan Peng told these people about his thoughts, they still disappeared directly, but the frequency was much slower than before.

Two and a half hours. Wan Peng has completely calmed down in his cultivation. After running it a few times, he opened his eyes, and they were still dark. Another pillar of incense in his hand was about to burn out, and at this moment, the entire space suddenly lit up, and Wan Peng couldn't help but squint his eyes.

And those people, now they are starting to cry out, "It's on, it's on!"

That's right, it's really lit up in this space. The whole space is covered with dense textures, complex and ancient. Where they were, where they had just entered, on the other side of the opposite of them, a mark was drawn that meant to enter the second floor from there.

Sure enough, it was a dark test!

Breathing a sigh of relief, Wan Peng stood up and looked at Xie Ting, who was sweating. Obviously, she was also very nervous, but in the process, she didn't say a word. And Hou Ruoting, as well as others, are all sweating.

Hou Ruoting quickly stabilized the team and counted the number of people. Thirty people were devoured, leaving no trace at all.

At the same time, outside the Sword Pavilion, the people watching suddenly let out an exclamation. Leaving the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, it changed from azure to the original dark green!

This shows that the inside of the pavilion is on this floor, and it is successful!

A complicated expression appeared on the face of the head of the Sword Sect, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Now that the danger has been removed, Hou Ruoting directly set up a team to rest and recuperate for the time being. She herself walked up to Wan Peng, "Do you know the settings of the various floors in this Sword Pavilion?"

Wan Peng shook his head, "I only know the first three floors. The back four floors, there is no information at all. ”

Hou Ruoting's face suddenly showed a look of displeasure, "Since you know, why didn't you say it earlier? If you said it earlier, maybe those thirty people would not have been devoured." ”

Wan Peng stared at Hou Ruoting, "Do you think that if I know the information, I can know what kind of specific situation is inside? Look here, there are formation patterns all around, and now, I can't see through the slightest! Not to mention that when I came in, it was dark, didn't I also grope in the dark? Besides, do you think that even if I say it first, they will be able to get through?"

Hou Ruoting was choked by Wan Peng's few words and had nothing to answer correctly, and let out a long breath, her face was still a little unwilling. Wan Peng didn't seem to be satisfied with her expression, and after she finished speaking, she stopped talking. And Xie Ting, at this time, still tightly pulled the corner of Wan Peng's clothes and stared at Hou Ruoting coldly. Hou Ruoting also noticed Xie Ting's movements, turned her head, looked at Xie Ting's hand pulling the corner of Wan Peng's clothes, and glanced at her again, before turning back to look at Wan Peng, "What's the situation on the next floor?"

Wan Peng looked at the entrance of the sign, "The next floor is a test of courage." At that level, you must have enough courage to exhaust your spiritual power when facing the most dangerous situation, otherwise, you will never be able to get out. However, we will have to go inside to find out what kind of situation we will face. ”

Hou Ruoting didn't say anything, turned around and left, walked to the front of the entire team, and repeated what Wan Peng had just said. Someone in the team immediately asked rhetorically, what should they do if the information is inaccurate? Once the spiritual power is really exhausted, they will not have any ability to face danger.

This is also what Hou Ruoting is worried about. She looked at Wan Peng again, but Wan Peng did not explain. In the face of her subordinates' questioning, she could only reply, "It's just information." We'll see after we're in. ”

Wan Peng used a jade slip to record the formation patterns here in detail for later reference and research. This kind of sophisticated and ancient formation is afraid that it will be difficult to see in the future. At the same time, he also tried to open the fire and thunder space here, and sure enough, he and the people in the fire and thunder space all lost contact.

After resting almost, Hou Ruoting asked these people to line up again. At the entrance of the next floor, Zhongshang walked over, and directly showed a light curtain with several rows of italic characters on it.

Leave the second floor of the Sword Pavilion: Put it to death and live later. Those who are not brave cannot be defeated.

If it weren't for Wan Peng's previous information, people might not understand what this means. And now, they have found out that it turned out to be a hint.

If the setting in the Sword Pavilion has not been passive, combined with this light curtain, it is said that you have to exhaust your spiritual power to get through guò, that is the right way!

The group passed through the portal, ready to face the darkness once more.

However, the scene in front of them was completely beyond their expectations!

Enter a new layer where there is no darkness, just plenty of light. When Wan Peng and Xie Ting entered as the last two people, the portal behind them disappeared.

In the eyes of people, it is a primeval forest, with lush trees and meadows stretching forward. Because of the tall trees, they couldn't see how far ahead. There is an intoxicating natural smell in the air, take a deep breath and feel refreshed.

This reminded Wan Peng of the phantom array where the Spirit Cloud Secret Jane was stored. Come to think of it, the two are somewhat similar.

Wan Peng tried to unleash all of his spiritual consciousness again, but, as in the first layer, he was limited in what he could detect. And the fire and thunder space, on this level, can also not be opened.

There was a solemn look on everyone's face, and at the same time, some flashed with suspicion. Isn't it that this is a test of courage? Isn't it that the non-brave cannot win? This forest is not a place that cannot be conquered for cultivators. Could it be that you want to stay here longer, but what does that have to do with spiritual power?

Just when someone was about to open his mouth to talk, there was a sudden change in front of him.
