The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

When the three of them entered the mining area, it was originally a dark night before dawn, but when they stepped into the mining area, the sky immediately became brighter, as if they jumped from night to day in an instant. Now that a day has passed, the scene in the mining area is still the same, which makes them feel puzzled and wonder whether they have fallen into some kind of illusion.

Youye couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you think the abnormality in this mining area is because this is the center of the Ghost Mist Formation, or is there some other special formation operating?"

Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment and replied: "It's all possible. We don't have a diagram of the ghost fog formation, and we don't know the formation ideas, so we can't judge whether this weird scene is caused by the ghost fog formation."

Shouxin was also worried. She looked at the scene around her and the empty-eyed monks on the road, and said softly: "Have we fallen into some kind of illusion now?"

Xiao Yuhan sighed and replied: "It's not certain yet. But we should be able to stay awake in the realm of the divine bell, otherwise you should be like them now. As for whether the outside is an illusion, if it is an illusion, then It’s not of a very high level.”

When the three of them came to the entrance of the mine, the three of them confirmed with each other the issues that need to be paid attention to when acting together, such as how to deal with situations such as encountering enemies or traps, how to evacuate once their whereabouts are exposed, and how to ensure the safety of the three of them as much as possible. Some details.

Before entering the mine, You Ye and Shouxin re-checked and activated a talisman to ensure that if they left the realm of the divine bell, they could protect themselves from the mental influence of the flame stone mine to the greatest extent.

The interior of the mine was dark and humid, and the air was filled with a smell of decay. This was consistent with the situation when You Ye and Shouxin first entered the mine, but as they went deeper into the mine, Xiao Yuhan found that things were getting weirder and weirder.

There is no one mining in this mine at all, and there are no collapses or formations at all. There were only monks standing quietly in front of the Flame Stone Mine with empty eyes. Xiao Yuhan tried to use his consciousness to explore, and was surprised to find that a ray of his consciousness was almost absorbed by the Flame Stone Mine. Fortunately, the Tiangang Qi firmly held that ray Consciousness came back.

In that ray of consciousness that was almost absorbed, Xiao Yuhan learned that the flame stone mine was actually absorbing the soul and cultivation of these monks.

This is not about people mining, it is simply about mining people. She immediately told You Ye and Shouxin, and asked them to check her soul state and cultivation. Fortunately, both of them were in good condition. Xiao Yuhan speculated that it might be because when the two first entered the mine, the amulet was still in effect and they did not enter the state of being absorbed by the ore immediately, so they were not affected.

At this time, Xiao Xuan spoke: "Xiao Han, stop talking nonsense. These monks you see have no entity at all. Like Hu Lin, they are all given a shell by some kind of power, but in fact they are still ghosts. And the mind body. And You Ye and Shouxin are living people, their spiritual bodies are intact, the demon flame stone can only affect the soul, but cannot extract the power from the spiritual body. However, this is also because the two of them are affected for a long time Short, if they voluntarily release their consciousness for the demon flame stone to absorb in the future, that’s a different matter.”

Xiao Xuan looked embarrassed and responded angrily: "Sister Xuan, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Oh, the system cannot directly interfere with the world, it can only interfere with you. If you don't come into contact with these ghosts, the system cannot perform scanning and analysis. Just now your consciousness detected the absorbed ghosts, and the system will naturally analyze them." Xiao Xuan didn't care. said.

At this time, Xiao Yuhan secretly glanced at You Ye and Shou Xin. Shouxin was fine and no longer bothered about this issue, but You Ye kept frowning, obviously not willing to accept Xiao Yuhan's set of talismans.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I think the talisman's effective time is too short. If we are controlled by the demon flame stone and fail to absorb it once, wouldn't we try a second time? There are so many demon flame stones here, I don't think we can absorb it only once, right? ?" Youye raised his own question.

"Yes, you're right. I didn't think carefully about it just now. After thinking about it carefully, there must be other reasons." In order to ease the embarrassment, Xiao Yuhan took advantage of the situation and frankly admitted his mistake. She wanted to tell the truth, but she couldn't explain how a ghost could have an entity that made it impossible to tell the truth from the false, so she didn't continue.

Xiao Yuhan's decisive admission made You Ye not know what to say for a moment, but she felt that the man in front of her should know something, but it was just not convenient to say it now, so she didn't say much, and the three of them continued to the mine. Explore the depths of the cave.

There were more and more flame stones in the mine, and the three of them saw the light emitted by the ores in the Divine Bell Domain, making the entire mine feel like they were walking through volcanic lava. There are more monks entering and leaving this area, and they seem to have higher cultivation levels.

"No wonder there are so many ghosts outside this mining area. It turns out they are all nourishment from the flame stone mine." Xiao Yuhan said to himself in his heart.

When the three of them walked into the deepest part of the mine, they suddenly discovered a huge circular ore passage extending downward. This passage seemed to be entirely dug manually, with both sides embedded with flamestone crystals that had been artificially repaired and shone with strange light.

"This..." You Ye looked at the prismatic flame stone crystal and stopped in surprise, "How could there be such a large and neat flame stone crystal."

Shouxin was also shocked by the spirally arranged crystal mines on the wall of the passage. He glanced around and said with some uncertainty: "You Ye, Fellow Daoist Chen, this seems to be some kind of special formation. But I have never seen it before. Based on this idea of ​​formation, what’s the point of such a spiral arrangement?”

Xiao Yuhan didn't speak. She waved for the two of them to follow, intending to continue watching before talking.

After walking along this passage filled with spiral crystal mines for a while, Xiao Yuhan felt an inexplicable familiar feeling when looking at this passage.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuhan suddenly thought of something. She trembled, turned around and ran back. As she ran, she held their hands and shouted: "It's too late to explain, retreat!"

Since the three of them had made an agreement before entering the mine, if there was an emergency, the three of them needed to work together to advance and retreat as much as possible, so Xiao Yuhan's sudden move made the two of them stunned for a moment and then entered the state. The three of them joined hands and worked together to run quickly towards the road they came from.

The three of them were very fast, and they had already reached the entrance of the passage in a few breaths. Xiao Yuhan pulled the two of them to the stone wall next to the entrance and hid.

Just when You Ye was about to ask something, she felt a powerful spiritual thought entering the spar channel following Xiao Yuhan's divine bell realm.

All three of them saw that the spiritual thought seemed to be grabbing a few ghosts. After the spiritual thought entered the passage, the three of them immediately looked down the passage.

An astonishing scene happened. The spiral crystal that the gods and ghosts passed by began to shine continuously, shining like the flames in purgatory. Under the scorching flames, those ghosts seemed to be reborn. After experiencing a painful baptism that seemed like rebirth from the fire, they transformed into human forms again.

What shocked the three people even more was that the divine thought also transformed into the figure of a middle-aged man. He stood erect in front of those ghosts, like a god descending into the world, and people were irresistibly attracted to him. Shou Xin and You Ye watched the middle-aged man turn around slowly, and suddenly shouted out loud: "Hu Lin!"
