I practice ruthless way

Tick, tick, drops of water fell from the cracks in the rocks.

This is a deep underground grotto where the sun cannot be seen. Dozens of people gather here, holding dozens of candles in their hands, wearing black robes that hang down to their ankles, and slowly kneel down to the ground under the leadership of the leader.

Candlelight illuminates the formation on the ground, which is painted with blood and spiritual power, exuding a thick and gloomy and dark atmosphere. In the center is a cup-shaped magic vessel, with delicate and solemn patterns, and an ancient and long-lasting paint color.

Complicated incantations came from the mouth of the leader, followed by the crowd chanting, and gradually, a strange and low-pitched song resounded.

The cup made of bronze trembled slowly, and after the curse song, the leader raised his arms and shouted:

"The Supreme Lord."

"The Immortal True Buddha."

"The servants will sacrifice the blood and souls of 130 people, please return to the mortal world and end this rotten world!"

He led the crowd to bow down.

"My lord—please come back—"

Tick.

There was another sound of water, but everyone kowtowed and no one cast their eyes.

It was a drop of blood, which fell from nowhere, but seeped out from the cracks in the soil and rocks, and dripped into the bronze cup.

Bloody smoke suddenly rose from the bronze cup.

At this moment, a gigantic rabbit shadow appeared at the entrance of the grotto.

It is the Jingling in the secret realm of Juling Mountain, with a carrot hanging around its neck, its eyes glowing red, its tone angry and dissatisfied: "It turned out to be a group of ants sneaking into other people's nests, trying to destroy it."

After saying that, he raised his front paws, and lowered his momentum towards the grotto.

At this moment, a formation lighted up under its feet, the light was pitch black and gloomy, and the rising mist was like dancing hands, wrapping around its body.

Jingling's complexion changed drastically, and she wanted to retreat, but she seemed to fall into a quagmire. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank. Not only that, but also a force rushed in, sucking away the spiritual power in her body.

There is no way to retreat, and there is no way to avoid it. It turned out that as early as it appeared, it had already fallen into the trap.

There was only a wail, resounding through the heavens and the earth.

The huge rabbit fell to the ground, shrinking and shrinking, turning into a fist-sized spirit body.The person who set up the formation came out of the darkness, sneered softly, and held it upside down in his hand: "Arrogance."

The leader said: "Don't kill me, before the secret realm is completely closed, we still need to rely on it to confuse people outside."

The formation builder raised his hand to his chest and saluted him: "Yes."

On the west side of the secret realm, between the river valleys, a cultivator raised his head and looked towards the place where the howling came out: "What kind of scream is that?"

"It must be some kind of monster." His companion replied, "The one we dealt with just now screamed terribly before it died."

Wei Chuyun sat on the bluestone by the river, put his sword by his side temporarily, lowered his head to study the map for a long time, and said to them: "Go north next, there is a nest of high-level monsters there."

"When the time comes, I'll take the lead." A man smiled and drew a sword flower towards the river. In an instant, the river surged into the sky.

Wei Chuyun had no objection to his words, put away the map, stood up, and said, "Have a half-hour break and set off."

Their small team has been picking and killing high-level monsters all the way, and there is no medical repair, but no one is dissatisfied, because everyone is returning to the upper realm.

On the gentle slope on the east side, Mo Juntian also heard the wailing, but when he came to the secret realm and killed all the way, he was already used to the strangeness, and now he didn't lift his head, and sat on the stone to wipe his sword.

After the battle just now, many people in their team were injured, and they are currently resting.

"The monster's claws and fangs are poisonous. I have prepared the antidote. Please take it quickly." The doctor got up from the medicine stove and distributed the medicine soup to everyone.

When he came in front of Mo Juntian, Mo Juntian shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it.

"It scratched the back of your hand, how can you not drink?" The doctor frowned.

Mo Juntian smiled shyly: "I have relatively good physique, and ordinary poisons can't do anything to me."

The doctor didn't believe it, so he grabbed Mo Juntian's hand, felt his pulse, and saw that his pulse was stable, so he stopped persuading him.

In a dense forest to the south, everyone smeared and took wound medicines to clear away the poisonous miasma that was not easily inhaled.

Qu Hanxing climbed up the tree and used the telescope to find out what was going on in the depths of the forest.

Under the tree, Bie Beilou was standing with his qin in his arms. Through the white satin, he "looked" at the place where the battle happened just now, and said:

"This kind of poisonous miasma likes to eat blood. No matter what level of people encounter it, they can't escape the bloodshed. The same goes for the monsters before. This is why they are more manic than the monsters we usually meet. .”

"Usually when encountering miasma, you can take pills in your mouth, but you can't deal with it. As far as I know, no one in the Jianghu has researched a way to deal with it. Usually it is just one word-to break through."

"The scope of its spread will not be very large, as long as the speed is fast, it will be fine."

Formation repair Zhang Xiaozhao frowned and shook his head, disapproving of such a proposal: "We are looking for monsters to kill, so why aren't monsters looking for us? Our blood will be their clues for tracking. If we pass through the poisonous miasma, we will Groups of monsters are attracted here, and we are the ones who suffer."

Qu Hanxing took off the telescope, nodded and said: "Xiao Zhao is right. We have bled a little in the poisonous miasma before, and there are already monsters coming here looking for smells, but because of the poisonous miasma, Did not dare to act!"

"Why don't you bypass it?" Fu Xiu Chen Ai said.

Biebeiloudao: "This poisonous miasma is colorless and odorless, and it is difficult to define its scope."

It's really hard to do.

Qu Hanxing sighed sadly, leaned back, and fell on the tree trunk, just about to say that he had to change to another place to continue fighting monsters, but Xiao Man said: "There is a way."

"What way?" Zhang Xiaozhao and Chen Ai's eyes lit up, Biebeilou showed curiosity.

"This poisonous miasma likes to eat blood, but it is impossible to eat indefinitely. We just killed some monsters, but we can feed their blood to the poisonous miasma. When it is full, it can pass through safely." Xiao Man said in a low voice. .

"Wonderful!" "Good way!"

The three of Qu Zhang and Chen couldn't help clapping their hands, even Bie Beilou smiled and praised: "Ingenious."

"I didn't create it." Xiao Man said, it was Shen Juan who mentioned this kind of poisonous miasma and the solution in his travel notes-there was such a poisonous miasma in the Chuye Forest in Lin'an City back then, and Shen Juan went in and went forward. Just pour a pot of dog blood into it, and feed the poisonous miasma enough to make it feel tired but willful.

Xiao Man went to get the few monsters they had killed nearby, Bie Beilou went up to collect blood, Zhang Xiaozhao and Chen Ai took out containers to pick them up.

They killed small monsters first, and the only bigger one was the pig monster, but they only took two pots in total.Fortunately, Qu Hanxing took the biggest trophy with him before leaving the poisonous miasma, and the blood released filled a bathtub.

A few people took the monster blood to the place where the poisonous miasma was infested, and splashed it out with spiritual power. It was like rain, and it was scattered very evenly.

After waiting for a while, Bie Beilou stretched out his hand and saw that his fingers were no longer bleeding, so he called everyone to move forward together.

Everyone passed through this area at an extremely fast speed, and in just a moment, they met face to face with the monsters that were attracted by their blood earlier.

The battle is imminent.

Zhang Xiaozhao took the formation, Chen Ai flipped his wrist and took out the talisman paper, Xiao Man stood at the front of the formation, seeing Hong Chen leave his hand, he jumped several feet to kill the enemy.

The sword light is chaotic, the piano sound is chaotic, and the light of the array is chaotic.

In the dense forest, the wind is constantly rising and falling, the branches and leaves are trembling constantly, and the overgrown weeds are broken and raised. No one has set foot here for many years, and the road has long been lost, and now a road has been cut out.

Several people are familiar with each other's moves, cooperate with each other, and the formation is constantly changing. Now Bie Beilou is at the head, and Xiao Man is behind.Qu Hanxing finally found a suitable position for him, he stood in the middle, and together with Zhang Xiaozhao and Chen Ai cleaned up the monsters coming from the side.

A large part of the monsters living in the forest are winged.Xiao Man discovered that they prefer to attack Qu Hanxing, especially like to peck his back with sharp claws and sharp beaks—probably because Qu Hanxing is the lowest level among them.

Qu Hanxing was miserable, and shouted that he should put on a pair of armor before coming.

The team walked slowly through the forest, and after walking for a long time, they finally came to an open area.Flowers bloom on the gently undulating hillside, the stream flows through the bottom of the slope, and the sun shines like a bright belt.

Look, they entered the secret realm at every moment, and it is already afternoon.

After discussing for a while, everyone decided to rest on the bank of the stream for a while.

Along the way, they encountered too many monsters, both middle-level and low-level, so numerous that it was difficult to count the points.Qu Hanxing used a Qiankun Ring alone to store valuable corpses of monsters. Now that he was free, he laid them out and disassembled them one by one.

Zhang Xiaozhao went over to help, and the two started chatting.

"If you want me to say, Jing Ling should announce the scores and rankings of each team every once in a while, so that everyone knows where he is now." Qu Hanxing picked out a monster keel, washed it in the stream water, Store it in a box, "If you rank low, you will catch up; if you rank high, you must raise your sword and slash fiercely in order not to fall behind."

Zhang Xiaozhao couldn't help laughing at his words: "What's the difference between what you said and not making it public? Anyway, just focus on killing monsters."

"There is still a difference, let people know their position." Qu Hanxing said: "How many points do you think we should have?"

"A low-level monster is worth one point, and a middle-level monster is worth three points. We should have... fifty points?"

Qu Hanxing glanced at the corpses of monsters neatly laid out on the shore: "There should be more than that?" Then he turned his head to look at the person sitting a little further away, and asked, "Brother Man, Brother Lou, what do you think?"

Xiao Man also didn't count, so he gave a rough estimate and gave a number: "Sixty?"

Outside Juling Mountain, in the Shufeng Building, there are 26 water mirrors hanging high. The mirror surface is a map of the secret place of Juling Mountain. In addition to the marked mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, there are also dots of red on the map.

On each picture, the position and density of the distribution of red are different.There are three types of red dots: large, medium and small. The small light red represents dead low-level monsters, and the large dark red represents high-level monsters.

The 26 maps are arranged according to the scores, and the most conspicuous one is naturally the one at the front.On that picture, only dark red marks can be seen, and no light red marks have fallen anywhere, which shows that they all killed high-level monsters.

Yan Wushu and Beidou faction Jin Tiannan were sitting in a corner playing chess, they didn't come to the water mirror to stare - the competition in the secret realm of Juling Mountain would last for three days, what happened now doesn't mean what the result will be.

But there are always people who like to talk about: "Currently the top ones are Gushan Wei Chuyun, Hengshan Qin Zizhao, Wuyi faction Lu Feng, Tianxingge Wenye, and Guanshanming Jianyue Jincheng, killing a total of 34 high-level monsters, The score is 170 points."

"It's only been less than a day, these young people are very fierce!"

"The second score is one hundred and three. The gap is really not small. It is very difficult to catch up..."

When Jin Tiannan heard what they said, he took a sip from the teacup and said, "My apprentice and Your Highness are in the same team - your apprentice is also in it, why don't you care about it?"

"Aren't you sitting here too, not caring?" Yan Wushu made a move on the chessboard.

"Of course it's because it's useless to care about it outside." Jin Tiannan said.

Although he said this, he still couldn't help turning his head to look at the water mirror, his eyes flicked from left to right one by one, and he found the names of Xiao Man and his apprentice Zhang Xiaozhao in the middle.

The score under the water mirror: 77, less than half of the number one.

There are still two days left in the secret trial, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you will win.

Jin Tiannan sighed with emotion.

Yan Wushu snorted, looked over the railing, looked at the birds in the sky, and said, "My Highness will win."

"Oh?"

"He has a clever plan." Yan Wushu twirled a beautiful flower in the folding fan in his hand, and said confidently, "Your apprentice is in the same team as him, so he is lucky."
