Chapter 117 Crisis
The fourth floor of ancient ruins is called a hot hell by various forces.
This layer of fire magma erupts continuously, and the earth is desolate and full of cracks. The heat from the bottom of the earth often emerges from the cracks. The hot gas temperature is extremely high and contains a strange fire poison. Due to the uncertainty of the eruption, all forces have damaged many people here.
Those with high cultivation can carry it hard, and those with low cultivation can only be trembling. Be careful and be careful. Pray that there will be no sudden hot air and fire on the way forward.
But these are only the most superficial crises. There are many active volcanoes in the fourth layer, which erupt from time to time. Each eruption will cause a joint effect. Magma is diffused, and fire poison is rampant. Even at high altitude, it will be affected.
At this moment, four people gathered here at the foot of a bare volcano.
One of the men in a white robe looked into the distance from time to time, with a trace of thought in his eyes. Next to him was an ordinary-looking short-haired woman. The woman never said a word and stood quite close to the man.
Far from the two, there was also a green-haired man in black. There was a clear scar on his right cheek, and his expression was very cold. He held a broken sword in his hand, and he stood there, as if the temperature around him had suddenly dropped a lot.
In the place closest to the volcano, an old man with silver hair held a compass in his hand, and his eyes were endless.
"It's been so long, with the strength of the six of them, it should have arrived a long time ago." Xu Chen frowned. He arrived at the agreed place very early. He just waited for a long time, but only Gao Li, Ji Wuya and Han Xian came.
"Will they go straight to the fifth floor?" Gao Li asked.
Xu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't think so. The conditions I have offered are so generous, which is much better than the inheritance of the ethereal big empty sword clan."
"Wait a minute. Anyway, we are not going to enter the sixth floor. Don't be in a hurry at this time."
Soon, a black light from the sky came and landed on the ground. The black light dissipated and turned into a middle-aged man with a purulent face.
"Brother Fang." When Xu Chen saw Fang Qian coming, he couldn't help smiling and came forward to say hello.
"There was some trouble on the way, so I was late." Fang Yu said with a smile that he was polite, but because of his ferocious face, his smile gave people a gloomy feeling.
"It doesn't matter. Even you are only five people at present." Xu Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile. He was really dissatisfied with everyone's speed.
"Will something happen to them? As far as I know, the situation at the beginning of the first floor is a little strange. The faint light flashed in Fang Qian's eyes, he said.
Xu Chen nodded. The surge in the strength of the first layer of fierce beasts was very strange. He was once worried, but there was no unexpected situation after that, so he also revealed it. At this moment, listening to Fang Qian's talk, he couldn't help thinking about whether other people were delayed or even died because of this.
"Do we have to enter first?" Fang Ju's eyes flashed and said, "Before I came here, I found the traces of Xiang Yu and his party. If we stop here, I'm afraid it will arouse their suspicion."
"Hing Yu?" Xu Chen's face suddenly changed. In addition to those nine-level strong people, what he was most afraid of was Xiangyu. Not to mention that his own strength may still be above himself. The seven attendants around him alone are not easy people. If you have ten people on your side, you may not have to be afraid of him, but if there are only five people at this moment, and the whereabouts of the other five people are unknown, if you quarrel with them, you must be the one who will suffer.
Xu Chen couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment on his face. He was thinking about whether to continue to wait for others or directly enter the cave where the holy fruit of creation is located.
After thinking for a long time, he looked at the distant sky, where there was still no one, and finally made a decision. Let's go in first."
As soon as this was said, Fang Ju immediately nodded and agreed, while Gao Li frowned slightly and said, "With the five of us, can we successfully defeat the guardian beast of the cave and get the holy fruit?"
"This time, the alliance has already made all the preparations for picking the holy fruit. Originally, it only took five people to get the holy fruit, and the ten-person lineup was just a precaution. Fortunately, ten people were gathered before, otherwise the number of people may be even smaller at this moment, and they can only be lost.
After Xu Chen finished speaking, he politely said to Han Xian, "Brother Han, I rely on you for this broken matter."
"Don't worry, although the array here is inherited from ancient times, there have been traces of cracking before. Although the self-repair ability of the array has recovered a lot, I am confident to break the array."
Han Xian's eyes flashed with wisdom, and everyone's self-confidence was undoubtedly obvious.
"Brother Ji, Brother Fang, I will rely on you more after entering the cave." Xu Chen said to Ji Wuya and Fang Yu again. This picking of the holy fruit is of great importance to him, and there is no room for any mistakes.
"That's how it should be."
Fang Qian said with a smile, while Ji Wuya just nodded in silence.
Then, Han Xian began to break the battle. After a long time, he inserted a simple yellow flag in more than a dozen directions at the foot of the mountain, and then made complex French seals in his hand.
As the French seal fell, the yellow flag emitted a stream of light and quickly intertwined in the air. In less than a moment, the light flowed and formed an esoteric array in the air.
At the moment when this formation appeared, there was a sudden ripple in the void at the foot of the mountain, and the virtual shadow of a cave loomed. There was also a formation around the cave, which vaguely confronted the formation arranged by Han Xian.
Han Xian's eyes were constantly pushing, and at the same time, several yellow charms appeared out of thin air. With a finger in his hand, a yellow charm flew out and flew to the eye of the array he had arranged. The light of the array suddenly brightened a lot, and at the same time, the virtual shadow of the cave showed signs of solidity. It's just that the power of the array does not seem to be enough, and the cave failed to solidify in the end.
His eyes hesitated for a moment. Han Xian pointed again with a little heartache. Another yellow charm flew out and integrated into the eyes. The light of the array was great. The cave finally appeared under the foot of the mountain!
The cave appeared, and Han Xian pointed again, and the last yellow seal flew out. This time, it did not go towards the array eyes he arranged, but shot at the door of the cave.
This cave reveals only a simple cave. There are some ancient words at the top of the cave, which I don't know what it means. Fu Zhuan suddenly stuck to it, and a burst of light flowed, which seemed to fix the whole cave, so that it could no longer become weak.
"The person who was originally arranged in this cave was really the master of the array. If it hadn't been for me, even if this array was incomplete, it would not have been able to make this cave appear. I will first simply arrange the illusion outside, and then we will quickly enter and leave quickly after getting the holy fruit of creation. After arranging everything, Han Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said to the four people.
Xu Chen looked at the appearance of the cave and looked happy. The holy fruit of creation is in this cave. As long as he can get it smoothly, his status in the scattered alliance is bound to be greatly improved!
Ji Wuya looked at the cave in front of him, and his eyes were very calm. For him, only everything related to the sword could make him crazy.
And Fang Qian looked at the cave that appeared in front of him, and there was a trace of intriguing light in his eyes.
Han Xian simply arranged the magic array. As long as the master of the same level as him came to the foot of the mountain in person, he was confident that he would never let people see a flaw.
The five people prepared everything and stepped into the cave.
Not long after they entered, the other side slowly appeared outside the cave••••••
This is not so much a cave as an expanding cave. After the five people entered, they did not hesitate and kept moving towards the depths of the cave.
The cave is constantly downward, and there are some fierce beasts living here along the way. Although their cultivation is not bad, they do not have a trace of counter-to-hand in front of the five people, and one is constantly destroyed.
"This cave array is so mysterious that the fierce beasts in it have an average level of seven. How did the six-order Sans enter and pick the holy fruit of creation?" As Han Xian walked, he asked Xu Chen. Although he believes in the intelligence and strength of the San League, he feels that things are a little strange when he contacts Xu Chen's previous words. If it hadn't been for the great attraction to him, he wouldn't have come to this muddy water. Now that everyone has entered here, he believes that Xu Chen should be willing to reveal more information to them.
"What Brother Han said is not bad. It is impossible for the sixth-order San people to get here. Here's the thing."
"Two years ago, all the volcanoes on the fourth floor erupted together. The magma was raging, the ash was full of smoke, and the sky and the ground were full of fire poison. The people and horses sent by all forces were once driven out by this natural disaster. At this time, the formation of the cave was caused by the volcanic eruption, and finally it appeared that the desperate people entered here.
"The sixth-order Sanzu is also one of them. His strength is weak, but he is good at escaping. After entering here, he has been hiding behind the crowd. Everyone went deep into the cave and found many strange flowers and plants along the way. Of course, there were also many fierce beasts guarding them. In the deepest part of the cave, they found a simple residence, where a strange tree of heaven and earth was planted. Before they approached, they could see thousands of auspicious trees, which was strange. The sharp-eyed person recognized the tree and found that the two strange fruits on it were the sacred fruits of creation.
"This discovery made everyone crazy. They rushed to the residence, but they didn't expect to disturb the guardian beast here. It was a strange beast at the peak of the first eighth level. Its strength was so strong that it killed and injured everyone all of a sudden. Several eighth-order strong men joined hands to take the risk of picking a holy fruit from the sacred tree of creation, and then quickly escaped.
"Although several people finally escaped the pursuit of the fierce beast, they killed each other driven by greed. Cranes and clams compete with each other, and the fisherman gets benefits. Although the sixth-order San clan is not high in cultivation, it is also a person with great wisdom and courage. After experiencing a lot of danger, he became the final survivor and achieved the holy fruit of creation. He waited for the fourth floor to completely calm down, went to the fifth floor, and finally returned to the Dragon Mountain safely.
"Most of you already know what happened after that. Although the holy fruit of creation was finally collected by the Pluto Council, a senior of the San League learned all this through the sixth-order Sanzu soul search, and concealed the parliament and all forces. After two years of preparation, and even in order to avoid causing suspicion from the parliament, the San League sent me to invite you, who have nothing to do with you in the name of the San people, avoided the eyes and ears of the parliament, and planned to come here.
