Chapter 19: The Labyrinth of Three Thousand Floating Islands
After the formation of the team was completed, everyone set off together and jumped onto a nearby floating island.
As soon as you enter the floating island, you will enter the labyrinth formation, and you will not be able to leave unless you find the exit.
Strange rocks stand everywhere on the floating island, and ancient trees grow densely, and after a while, more than a dozen people arrive in the center of the floating island.
In the center, there is a clearing where four different colors of teleportation arrays are built: black, white, red, and blue.
Different from the general maze circle, the 3000 floating island maze has a special rule of passage, that is, a four-color teleportation array.
For example, if you select a black teleportation array at the entrance, you will only be teleported to a floating island with a black teleportation array.
All four roads will eventually reach the central region, but the jury is still out on which is the safest and shortest.
Therefore, each group of centaurs also picked the color casually, and Guo Taixian chose the blue teleportation array at the end.
As the teams entered the formation, Li Mo and the others also stepped into the teleportation array, and a moment later, the four of them appeared on another floating island.
The island is dotted with rocks, ancient vines, and fat leaves overlapping on top of each other, spreading on the reddish-colored, soft soil.
In a matter of moments, black scorpions the size of a palm came out of the earth, densely packed with hundreds.
"These are special species that are only found in the Half Realm, called the Juice Scorpion. The shell of this thing is very brittle, and when it is subjected to the slightest external force, it will burst out a large amount of poisonous juice, which will spread to thousands of miles, and if it touches the slightest point, it will make people lose the ability to move, and thus be eaten by its group. ”
Guo Taixian introduced.
"Don't be afraid, we can easily block the poison juice with our defenses. Liu Ningxuan said.
Guo Taixian shook his head and said, "No, that poisonous juice is extremely penetrating and can easily penetrate defenses." ”
"That is, to get through guò without touching them. Qin Ke'er understood.
Guo Taixian smiled and said: "Exactly, there are too many special species in the Half Realm, and it will become tricky to deal with simple things without knowing it, so let the old decay open the way." ”
With that, he raised his arm with five fingers, and a large but gentle wind lifted the scorpions into the air, and the scorpions shook vigorously but could not move a bit.
Li Mo nodded secretly, and with just this hand, he could see Guo Taixian's attainments of true qi.
Walking all the way forward, a wave of juice poisonous scorpions came out, but they couldn't get close to the distance of four people.
After a short time, several people arrived at the center of the floating island, but saw that there were three blue teleportation arrays standing in the center.
"We'll just pick one. ”
Guo Taixian said, and picked the teleportation array on the left.
A few people walked in, and their vision changed in an instant, and they came to another green floating island.
"It seems like we're lucky. ”
Liu Ningxuan grinned.
Li Mo nodded, the three of them had already heard Rong Fan talk about the matter of Mo Daoshan, and naturally there was also something about this outer labyrinth array.
Each floating island has a minimum of two and a maximum of nine teleportation arrays, and these teleportation arrays usually lead to the floating island in front of them at random, but sometimes there is a backward teleportation array that will teleport people back to the floating island they have already walked.
Originally, this was not a big deal, but the worst thing was that according to the records written by the people who passed through the labyrinth, all the matter on the floating islands on the maze of the three thousand floating islands had the ability to recover automatically.
This means that even if you kill the creatures on the floating island, these things will automatically respawn for a short time, so returning to the floating island you have walked through is equivalent to clearing the obstacle again.
And if you engrave marks on the floating islands, these marks will also disappear as the matter is restored.
Therefore, if you want to go through the labyrinth, in addition to having a superhuman memory, luck is also an extremely important part.
Walking along the rugged mountain path, there was no living life except for the rocks, and when they reached the middle of the floating island, suddenly there was a sound in the clearing in front of them.
Then the ground cracked, and a rock giant emerged.
It was tall and burly, wielding a huge mace in both hands.
Then giants emerged from the ground and soon spread across the clearing.
"Rock golems. ”
Li Mo frowned slightly, these were all puppets of the late stage of the Spirit Aperture Realm.
Thinking about it, he spent a lot of effort to refine a few late-stage puppets, but now there are nearly 100 of them here, which shows that in front of the king-level figures, this kind of thing is as simple as pinching a clay figure.
Moreover, there is apparently a puppet circle on this floating island, which can actually regenerate the puppets, so that the golems that are consumables can be reused, and the heart is moved just to think about it.
There may still be a treasure book of the puppet circle in the tomb of the Heavenly King, but it is a pity that with his current strength, it is difficult to obtain.
This thought flashed through him, and Guo Taixian had already launched an attack.
"The Wind Rises to the Sky!"
As soon as he slapped his palm, he saw a tornado suddenly rise in front of him, rolling the puppet into the air, and by the time it landed, it was already in pieces.
"Six crushed ice!"
As soon as Qin Ke'er raised his hand, the Ice Spirit Sword came out of his hand, penetrating the body of the rock puppet like light and shadow, and when it penetrated, the puppet's body was quickly frozen into ice, and then burst into pieces with a bang.
"Seven Fire Glass Array!"
Liu Ningxuan raised her small hand, and when the formation started, several puppets were trapped in it, and seven kinds of flames were burned, causing the puppets' functions to be forcibly interrupted, and they collapsed to the ground.
Li Mo put away his thoughts, flicked the ring, and there was a blood-clear long knife in his hand, which was the growth heavenly weapon that had just been refined recently: the Blood Spirit Knife.
With a spread of his palm, the Blood Spirit Knife roared out, and Lisuo instantly beheaded a nearby puppet.
The first time he tried the Blood Spirit Knife, Li Mo was secretly happy, and with a light pick of his fingers, the Blood Spirit Knife flew around, and the Dao was full of red light.
The four of them strode forward, each showing their abilities, and soon slew a large group of rock golems.
When I came to the center of the floating island, I saw that there were four teleportation arrays here.
The four of them chose one at random, and then jumped onto another floating island.
In this way, they passed through the floating islands, and when they were in the central teleportation array of the twenty-third floating island, the four of them chose to jump into the teleportation array and retreated directly to the twentieth floating island.
As the record says, the group of brute beasts that had just been cleaned up on this floating island had been resurrected, and although they were all late-stage things of the Spirit Realm and were not a threat, it would take a little effort to completely clean them up.
And as it continued to go deeper, the number of teleportation arrays on the floating islands was also slowly increasing, reaching a maximum of six, and the four of them stepped on the backward teleportation array from time to time, and even once retreated, there were ten floating islands.
At this time, Li Mo and the three of them deeply realized the horror of this labyrinth array, and also understood why so few people broke into this place.
When it comes to the realm of supernatural powers, although most people have a lifespan of about a thousand years, it is still not easy to soar in a thousand years, so they are still racing against time and dare not waste it.
Although there are a large number of brute beasts and puppets in this labyrinth circle, killing them can increase experience, but because it is resurrected from the circle, it will not drop any materials.
And this half of the land is full of rare materials, so breaking through this labyrinth is tantamount to wasting time.
What's more, constantly stepping on the backward leap teleportation array, the floating islands that have just broken through have to start again, and according to the original calculation, the three thousand floating islands are divided into four roads, and each group of people passes through about 700 floating islands, and the storage of the backward leap teleportation array, repeated again and again, in fact, the floating islands that pass can reach thousands or even more.
And as he went deeper, Li Mo gradually found that many floating islands seemed to be made from a mold, with only very slight differences in appearance, and even the brute beasts on them were the same.
Therefore, it requires extremely accurate judgment and memory to be able to write down the floating islands, and of course, it is more important to remember how many teleportation arrays there are on each floating island, and which one of them leads to the front.
On the way, Li Mo took out the sound transmission stone given by Rong Fan and tried it, and found that the compass recording function of the sound transmission stone could not be used, and the road he walked was only a small dot left in the compass space, which showed that this thing was also blocked by the labyrinth formation.
After going back and forth, the four of them finally arrived at the hundredth floating island.
Stepping into the floating island, the surrounding area is still surrounded by mountains and rocks, and ancient trees are dense.
"This is the island of guardian beasts, there are no other brute beasts except guardian beasts, let's take a rest first. ”
Guo Taixian said.
Li Mo and the three of them all nodded, each found a place to sit down, and took the elixir to restore the body.
It is said that it is the hundredth floating island, but in fact, it has passed through a full hundred and thirty-four floating islands along the way, and the number of spirit realm brute beasts encountered has reached tens of thousands, and the physical energy consumed is not small, and this is only the beginning of the three thousand labyrinth array.
Fortunately, Li Mo now has the realm of a heaven-level alchemist, and the heaven-level pills he refines are also great supplements, and they are all made of medicinal materials grown in the fallen land in the mirror realm.
So it didn't take long for the three of them to regain their heyday.
Standing at the entrance of this floating island, you can clearly see the floating islands in the distance, but these floating islands seem to be shrouded in mist, and it is not clear whether there are people on them.
"It's only taken me to walk this little way for most of the day, Senior Brother Guo, how long did it take you to come here before to pass through this labyrinth array?" asked Liu Ningxuan.
Guo Taixian had just finished pranayama and had not yet gotten up, when he heard Liu Ningxuan ask, he smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, the old man had just entered the half-realm, and when he heard about this Mo Dao Mountain, he didn't know how thick he wanted to break through, and he came over with his fellow senior brothers, but he was trapped in it for seven months. ”
"Seven months?"
Li Mo frowned slightly when he heard this.
Guo Taixian said: "You should have heard about the power of some floating island mazes from the senior brother of the Hanyan Gate, but the most powerful thing about this thing is not the teleportation array, nor the supernatural realm-level guardian beasts that appear every hundred islands, but every three months, the islands here will be completely rotated. ”
"Thorough rotation?" Qin Ke'er couldn't help but sigh lightly.
