Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild.

"You are really joking. So many people can't find any trace, how can I find it?"

Gu Xinglian smiled and said, "It's just that I feel there are too many competitors and it's futile to continue, so I just gave up."

"So, don't worry about the two of us, just continue."

"I see."

Lin Zixiao nodded slightly: "That makes sense. In that case, you can leave on your own."

The others also slowly withdrew their gazes.

“The mountains are high and the waters are long.”

Gu Xinglian whispered, and then increased her speed.

Xu Weiyi was a little confused.

What's going on with Gu Xinglian?

Why did you leave so suddenly? Don't you want the Heart of the World anymore?
Moreover, he didn’t even tell me?
This, this, this...

What exactly went wrong?

She hasn't figured it out yet.

He immediately asked through telepathic communication.

But before Gu Xinglian could respond, she heard Lin Zixiao say, "That's not right!"

"If you really give up, you should go back the same way!"

"This place is dangerous, and we didn't come very far. It's safer to return the same way. This is the choice of a normal person."

"Instead of rushing in an inexplicable direction like you did."

Having said this, Lin Zixiao paused slightly.

"unless···"

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, and she glanced at the others like a thief. Then she stopped talking and followed Gu Xinglian with Ji Chutong.

Everyone took a look.

They couldn't help but look at each other.

"Unless what?"

No one answered.

but···

Who here is not a meticulous person?
In order to grab the heart of the world, everyone is almost going crazy.

At this moment, everyone was like Zhuge Liang, and they figured out the key point of the matter in just a moment.

quit?
Yes, it is possible that some people will indeed drop out.

For example, when there are too many people and they know that they are not strong enough and will almost certainly die if they continue, it is normal and understandable for them to quit.

But···
Just as Lin Zixiao said just now.

If you really want to quit, shouldn't you return the same way you came in such a dangerous place?

There is a 99% chance that returning by the original route is safe.

But if you choose to go in a direction that no one has explored and you don't know whether it is safe or not, there is at least a 50% chance that you will encounter danger, and the possibility of losing your life is not low.

Any fool knows how to choose.

But you still went in that direction.

What does this mean?
illustrate···
You don't want to quit at all.

But it is highly likely that there are means that no one else knows about, and the escape route of the "rat" has been determined.

Hurrah!

You actually want to leave all of us behind and eat all by yourself?!
As soon as they thought of this, everyone became numb and prepared to give chase.

Xu Weiyi also thought of this. Although he didn't know why he didn't tell him, why should he hesitate if he chased after him?
As for the others...

Seeing that people were chasing after him one after another, how could he sit still?

"Oh, it suddenly occurred to me that I also have something else to do, so I'll give up for now. You guys continue."

"Yes, that thief is abominable, but I believe you can find and kill him. I'd better try to find other treasures."

"I give up, I give up, I give up too, I hope we can meet again someday."

"See you again~!"

Everyone said they had given up, but they all slipped away and followed the direction Gu Xinglian left.

"?!"

Gu Xinglian looked back, frowned, and accelerated instantly.

It was as if he had gone crazy. He didn't care whether there was any danger in the Flaming Mountain. He had only one thought - to speed up and leave the others behind!

When the others saw this, they instantly confirmed what they were thinking.

Hurrah!

If one didn't know that someone had walked this direction and this road before, who would dare to rush forward in such a dangerous place?

I'm afraid even a twelve-tribulation immortal might not have the courage to do this.

As expected, we guessed it right!

They chased more vigorously.

Xu Weiyi also knew the seriousness of the problem, so how could he let them chase him like this?
She also sped up and chased to the front area. After thinking for a while, she realized that there was something wrong with Lin Zixiao and the other person.

Twice in a row, it was Lin Zixiao who was giving advice, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in fact he was reminding everyone...
"This woman must not be allowed to stay!"

She immediately jumped up and attacked Lin Zixiao and Ji Chutong.

When the others saw this, they no longer had any doubts.

Everyone knows that Xu Weiyi and Gu Xinglian are in the same group.

At this moment, Xu Weiyi took action against Lin Zixiao and the other two. Didn't this completely confirm everyone's guess?

That's it, what else is there to doubt?
······
Rumble!
Xu Weiyi is very strong.

As an eleven-tribulations wandering immortal that the Wanhua Holy Land had spent nearly 1.2 million years preparing to cultivate, she was more than just an ordinary eleven-tribulations wandering immortal!

He has mastered all kinds of secret techniques and methods.

The combat power is amazing!

With the outbreak at this moment, even many powerful beings who are also eleven-tribulation loose immortals have to temporarily avoid the attack.

Of course, they had never thought of taking action.

Why did Xu Weiyi take action at this moment?

It is to delay the speed of others and give her companions enough time!

If I fight her at this time, wouldn't that be exactly what she wants?
Anyway, he wasn't dealing with me, so why should I care about her? Naturally, I just went around her and continued to chase her companion.

They are extremely 'awake'.

They all took detours.

Ji Chutong frowned: "You!!!"

While resisting, Lin Zixiao sent a message to Ji Chutong: "It's okay, this is the best way."

"This way, no one will suspect anything, and she should be unaware of the situation and mistakenly think we are the enemy. This will make our plan even more perfect."

"That's true, but if we do that, we'll have to fight her. She's an eleventh-tribulation Loose Immortal. If something unexpected happens..."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Lin Zixiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and all his strength burst out at this moment.

She never fought desperately, nor did she use any tricky secret techniques.

He only relied on his own upright sword skills to engage in a fierce battle with Xu Weiyi.

The two sides went back and forth, and the fight was endless.

But they controlled it very well and did not let the battle become too violent. At the same time, they were fighting while chasing in the direction of Gu Xinglian's escape.

During this process, neither side was injured.

This surprised Xu Weiyi very much.

Her family knows her own business, and she is naturally very clear about her own strength.

But the woman in front of him was not a wandering immortal, but only at the ninth level. How could she be so comfortable with his attack?
This woman is indeed not simple!
She couldn't help but become much more cautious.

······
At the same time, Lin Fan was always on the sidelines.

Not that he wanted to be so close to everyone.

But there was no way. Although the previous movements were repeatedly restrained, many people still noticed it. Some of these people were close, and some were relatively far away.

There are still people coming now, in order to avoid them, Lin Fan can only keep changing the route.

This change naturally turned him into a marginal OB.

But as he watched, he vaguely realized that something was wrong.

"Why is everyone chasing after Senior Gu Xinglian?"

"Moreover, this direction..."

"Sister Wu, if I remember correctly, the direction that Senior Gu went to is the dangerous place you marked before, right?"

"Yes, there should be a native creature of the Ten Thousand Worlds Abyss among them. I don't know what it is, but it is much more powerful than the 'sandworm' we have seen before."

"···"

"?!"

Lin Fan was shocked.

"Then why is she going in this direction?"

"Also, almost everyone is after her."

"and many more!"

"Lin Zixiao and Mr. Xu got into a fight?"

"this···"

"Sister Wu, please ask the spirit of the Sky-viewing Mirror what they are going to do."

"it is good!"

The two astronomical mirrors immediately communicated silently.

Soon, Sister Wu told Lin Fan the reason.

"I see."

"War is not part of the plan, but just a counter-attack? If so, it does make the plan more impeccable. So..."

"I should add fuel to the fire."

"And by the way, I'm going to clear Senior Gu's suspicion."

"Sister Wu, help me lead the way. I need to get to the creature's nest first and leave some traces. This way, when others arrive, they won't suspect Senior Gu. At the same time, it will be easier to provoke them to fight the creature."

Lin Fan immediately sped up.

With the Sky-viewing Mirror in hand, the Secret of the Word "Xing", and even the superposition of Three Thousand Thunders, Lin Fan's speed is naturally far beyond the reach of most ninth-level cultivators and immortals.

He stepped on lightning and it seemed that time and space were blurred. Under the guidance of the celestial mirror, he arrived at the area where the creature was from another angle and before Gu Xinglian and others.

Then, he deliberately left the same marks as before.

This mark is not long.

It was even a little intermittent, making people feel that this person was in an unstable state.

And this trace goes all the way to the creature's nest...
Until it was not far from the nest, it disappeared quietly.

After doing all this, Lin Fan quickly hid his figure and walked away.

"I rely on."

He couldn't help but whisper: "What a strong sense of oppression."

“This thing…”

"It's a bit scary how strong it is."

"Among all the creatures I have encountered, I am afraid there is no one stronger than this, except for the Black Lotus of Destruction."

"It is indeed very strong, and this thing is very strange."

Sister Wu was surprised and said, "It seems to have no entity. No wonder I couldn't see it clearly before."

“It’s dangerous…”

"Don't get close unless necessary!"

"That's natural."

Lin Fan sighed, "If I hadn't been forced to do so and if I hadn't wanted to cooperate with their plan, I wouldn't have gotten close to this damn thing."

"It looks like he's not someone you can mess with!"

"But now..."

"Let's wait and see what happens next. After all, we have done everything we can."

"···"

······
"This is?!"

Gu Xinglian ran the fastest.

Or maybe, in fact, her speed was not the fastest, but everyone else was waiting for her to lead the way, so she deliberately slowed down, and therefore, she was the first to discover the trace!
This discovery made her panic.

It can't be that Lin Fan is really here? !

But then she felt that it was unlikely. Moreover, even if Lin Fan was really here before, with the Sky-Viewing Mirror in his hand, he could easily discover himself and others in advance and avoid them.

"So, unless he is in an unpredictable crisis, it is impossible for him to still be nearby."

"Another possibility is that he did it on purpose."

"Yes, if he has always been within a million miles of us, then he can see our every move clearly. Even if he doesn't know what we are discussing, with his intelligence, he must be able to guess it. This trace must have been left by him on his own initiative."

"In order to make the plan more perfect!"

"And no matter which possibility it is, I will lead the person here."

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her speed slowed down.

Soon, other people also discovered the traces and immediately became more certain of what they were thinking.

"She really has special means to find the traces of the rat in advance!"

"In that case, as long as we control her, we won't have to worry about not finding the mouse. Even if he runs to the ends of the earth or the end of the abyss, we can catch him and take back the heart of the world!"

At this moment, everyone was interested.

There is no one who wants to kill Gu Xinglian.

But everyone wants to suppress her and use her as a 'treasure hunting rat'.

However, while they were lost in thought, Gu Xinglian had already stopped quietly.

Everyone stopped and looked at Gu Xinglian.

No one spoke, everyone was waiting for her to make the next decision. At this moment, in everyone's eyes, she was undoubtedly a guiding light.

Gu Xinglian also realized this.

Then, she suddenly thought that she...

Perhaps after killing some people this time, he can use this to lead others around in circles.

In this way, although he would be in great danger after a period of time, Lin Fan would be relatively safe.

As long as Lin Fan is safe, the Heart of the World and the Sky Mirror are also safe!
Worth the risk!

Thinking of this, she looked at the people behind her in confusion: "Why are you following me?"

Ha ha!

Everyone sneered in their hearts.

Why am I following you? Don’t you have any idea what’s going on?
We've found the clues, why the hell are you still pretending?

but···

They didn't say it out loud.

Who doesn’t understand at this moment?
This woman had clearly discovered the mouse's tracks, and most likely even knew where it was, but she didn't want herself and others to know, so she was acting here.

He wanted to trick me and others away and eat all the food alone.

But···
Do we look that stupid and gullible?
Who wouldn't be a big shot if he could cultivate to this level and be qualified to venture into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Worlds? Even if he wasn't at the top of his own world, he was almost there.

How could I be fooled by such an obvious trick of yours?

joke!

but···
There is no need to expose it.

Everyone knows what's going on, and based on this, they just need to find a way to find the stinky rat.

Exposing this woman would, firstly, lead to a tense atmosphere, which could lead to a war, and secondly... she would be useful if we kept her around~!

As for now...
"Haha, it's nothing."

"Yeah, actually we wanted to go out too, but we got lost for a while."

"Oh, well, I suddenly feel a little urgent and need to go to the bathroom."

"Shame on you! You're already a deity, and you're still in a hurry to go to the bathroom. What kind of urgent need are you in? Well, everyone, I'm going to go see what he's up to."

"Ouch, I think I spotted a ferocious beast flash by, let me take a look..."

"···"

Facing Gu Xinglian's 'vigilant' gaze.

More than two hundred strong men suddenly laughed and dispersed in all directions.

If you don’t know them, looking at how they are laughing, you might think they are old classmates on an autumn outing.

However, although they seemed to be laughing, they were actually extremely cautious.

It seemed like no one cared about Gu Xinglian, but in fact, everyone was observing Gu Xinglian's changes from afar with their spiritual sense.

When they found that Gu Xinglian found that everyone had started to search and explore the surroundings, his face suddenly turned pale and he gritted his teeth. Only then did they feel relieved.

If nothing else, her expression is enough to explain everything.

It’s not possible that everyone can become a Best Actor, right?
It's not that they are too naive or too easy to trust others, but everything that happened before has created a very high "credibility" for Gu Xinglian.

Again.

People tend to only believe what they want to believe.

In their view at this moment, Gu Xinglian is a human-shaped treasure-hunting rat, and they are certain that the stinky rat that stole the heart of the world is hiding in this area and will definitely not be too far away.

On this basis, coupled with many details such as Gu Xinglian's expression, there is naturally no doubt.

suddenly!

There was a roar.

There is movement!
The eyes of many 'teams' suddenly flashed, but this time they learned their lesson and did not rush over as a whole team. Instead, they sent one person over to check out the situation first.

And they soon discovered that an 'avatar' had been blown up.

"The old tricks are used again, and the donkey in Guizhou has run out of tricks!"

"That stinky rat is definitely nearby!"

"Find quickly!"

"···"

Search!
The distance between each team was less than a thousand miles. They all opened their eyes wide and focused their awareness to the extreme, not wanting to miss any tiny details.

With Gu Xinglian as the center, conduct a carpet search in a circular shape outwards!
The method is stupid.

But it works.

On the way, they also met Xu Weiyi, Lin Zixiao and others who had fought along the way.

Many people expressed dissatisfaction with this.

"Fight, fight, fight, what the hell is going on!"

"Go out and fight if you want!"

"If you attract more people or scare away the rat, we will kill you immediately!"

"···"

Faced with this threat, Xu Weiyi had to stop for the time being and hurried to reunite with Gu Xinglian.

Lin Zixiao glanced at Gu Xinglian from a distance, and the two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Xu Weiyi was surprised to see this scene and quickly sent a message: "You guys?"

"I'm sorry, Uncle Master, I didn't explain it to you clearly just now."

"But only in this way can it look more real."

Things have come to this point, and it is impossible to continue hiding it from Xu Weiyi.

Gu Xinglian immediately told Xu Weiyi her guess and the cause of the incident. Xu Weiyi's eyelids twitched as he listened. In the end, he sighed helplessly and said in a voice transmission: "Alas, I knew that little friend Lin Fan is definitely not an easy person to deal with."

"I just never thought that he would be so bold and careful, and the one who succeeded would be him."

"So, we are doing everything we can to muddy the waters."

"That's it." Gu Xinglian's eyes flickered slightly: "This is an opportunity."

······
"here we go."

Lin Fan observed the situation from a distance.

Even though he had the Sky Observing Mirror in his hand, he did not rely on it too much.

After all, no one knows who has the ability to sense the spying of the Sky Mirror, or even whether there are people with a vision that is more amazing than that of the Sky Mirror.

Therefore, he chose to stay as far away from everyone as possible, leaving only one or two people at the edge of the field of view of the telescope. He would pay attention to their movements and adjust his position and direction in real time.

In this way, there are only one or two people within the field of view of the astronomical mirror, and the possibility of being able to sense the astronomical mirror's spying will naturally be infinitely reduced.

In this way, your situation will be safer.

“It’s fucked up, really.”

"I thought it was going to be a thrilling battle royale, but in the end, it felt like I was the only one escaping, and everyone else was teaming up to kill me."

He was also speechless.

In fact, before coming here, I never thought about risking my life for the Heart of the World.

When the results came, due to a series of errors, the current situation was caused in a short time.

If we just give up the Heart of the World and run away, there will definitely be no problem.

But it hasn’t reached that point yet.

and···
As the saying goes, since you are here, you are here.

What's more, now that I have got the things, it is absolutely impossible to give up like this.

“Just look…”

"Can I hold on to the end?"

"You want to fuck me together?"

"And now, it's your turn to pay something."

Lin Fan murmured.

At this moment, a scream suddenly rang out.

A seven-tribulation immortal suddenly howled miserably for some unknown reason, and before his teammates could come forward to check, boom!

He was suddenly enveloped by the ubiquitous black flames in the Flame Mountain, but everyone could see clearly that it was not because his defense failed that he was burned by the black flames.

Instead, it seemed as if the flames suddenly erupted from within his body.

Fluid was gushing out of its seven orifices, and the black flames from both inside and outside dealt it severe damage.

"Don't touch him!"

His teammates wanted to rescue him but were stopped.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw this man turned into a mummy at a speed visible to the naked eye within just one breath. A mummy without a trace of water!

Afterwards, the shriveled corpse could no longer be preserved and turned directly into ashes under the burning of the black flames.

Only its treasure was left lying there, quietly flickering with an unsteady light.

"this?!!!"

His two teammates' faces changed drastically. They immediately put away the relics and said with an unpleasant look: "Who did it?!"

"joke!"

Someone sneered: "This is a dangerous place. Black flames are everywhere in this dangerous place. He was burned by black flames from the inside out. And you ask who did it?"

"It's just that he lacked strength, and he only cared about his head and not his butt, and he only cared about the outside and not the inside, so he was burned to death by the black flames. Do you still want to blame me?"

"Pfft!"

The laughter continued.

Someone died?

Except for the deceased teammates, no one else cares and won't be sad.

Even wanted to laugh.

The helpless and furious performance of his teammates, who were looking for someone to take the blame, made people laugh out loud.

"you!!!"

One of the dead teammate gritted his teeth, but was held back by another teammate, who slowly shook his head at him.

He could only force himself to calm down, lower his head, suppress his anger, and continue searching.

now···
Lin Zixiao and Gu Xinglian naturally joined the search team.

After all, only this seems the most reasonable.

As for the man who was burned to death by black flames just now, no one cared.

After all, he is just a seven-tribulation immortal. Although he is not the last among them, his strength is also ranked at the bottom.

This kind of strength was killed by Black Flame because he was not strong enough.

But I want to kill myself...
How easy is that?!
They all have a mysterious self-confidence.

After all, at least so far, no stronger person has died tragically, right?
But soon, problems arose one after another.

Black flames suddenly erupted in his body, and the number of people burned to death gradually increased. In just half a cup of tea, the number had risen to eight!

The cultivation levels of these people are also completely different.

There were top cultivators, six or seven tribulation immortals, and even a ten tribulation immortal who died because of this!

The death of Shijie Sanxian shocked everyone and made them feel a little unbelievable.

"This black flame..."

"It was actually possible to silently make a Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal fall into the trap and die as a result? This!!!"

They were surprised and somewhat incredulous.

This is different from what I imagined!

Even if someone can't bear it, or it becomes more dangerous the longer they stay, shouldn't we start with those with lower cultivation?

Why did all the Ten Tribulations Loose Immortals suddenly die because of this? !

"Something's wrong!"

"Could it be that it has nothing to do with strength?!"

"If it has nothing to do with strength, then... it must be related to the strength of the soul."

“Perhaps, the things in the Abyss of All Worlds are too strange, and they come from the heavens and all worlds. Many things are different from our cognition. After all, they are not from the same world. It is normal that we don’t recognize them and don’t know them clearly. And this black flame should be one of them!”

"It should have a method that we cannot perceive or understand, which can silently target the soul. Those whose souls are not strong enough will be the first to suffer."

"For example... it can silently influence the will of others through their spirits, causing them to unconsciously remove their defenses. Or, even if it only removes them for a moment, it will be enough for it to succeed completely?"

"···"

They are all big guys and well-informed.

Even though they had never seen this strange black flame, they were still able to piece together the most likely outcome in a few words.

"In that case, those whose souls are not strong enough should get out as soon as possible."

"That's right. Let's return as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we die here, we will lose both our lives and our wealth."

"The Heart of the World is certainly important, but it would be a pity if someone died in such a strange way without even taking a look at it."

"···"

The 'big guys' are persuading.

Especially those who are confident that their spiritual strength is extraordinary and will not be affected in such a short time.

In their opinion, if everyone's guess is correct, then they can at least hold on to the final stage and be one of the final winners.

As for persuading others to leave...
Of course they thought the stinky rat was nearby, and if one more person went out, there would be one less competitor.

Why not?
"···"

"I don't want to play anymore!"

"Damn, this place is too weird!"

"You have a point. The heart of the world is important, but if we are wise, we must die for it..."

"Humph!"

"···"

My family knows their own affairs.

Although they are the "pinnacle" of each world, they are not proficient in all aspects, nor do they have high "all attributes". Some people have higher and some have lower soul strength.

Although there is no specific number to feel intuitively, they are still very clear about it in their minds.

As a result, within a short period of time, nearly fifty people began to back down and retreat.

Gu Xinglian and Xu Weiyi looked at each other, and Xu Weiyi wanted Gu Xinglian to go out as well.

But Gu Xinglian slowly shook her head: "I can't leave."

"In their eyes, I am a guiding light. If I leave, they will definitely think that I have found other traces. Even if not all of them will follow me, at least some of them will leave."

"If so..."

"Wouldn't that mean the plan would be wasted?"

Xu Weiyi: “…”

She wanted to persuade him, but seeing Gu Xinglian's firm attitude, she could only sigh.

"Be careful."

This was the only way she could persuade him.

······
"Hahaha!"

Seeing that no one was leaving, an Eleventh Tribulation Loose Immortal laughed loudly and said, "A bunch of ants, they should have left long ago!"

"They are just ants, but they want to get their hands on the heart of the world. Are they worthy?"

"From now on, it will depend on us to see who will have the last laugh, hehehe~!"

"This person... is so crazy." Lin Zixiao whispered.

This was heard by a person not far away. He sighed and said, "He is indeed very arrogant, but he has the capital to be arrogant. I know him. He calls himself the Man-Eating Demon Lord, and he lives up to his name."

"He eats people, but he doesn't eat them with his mouth. Instead, his martial arts is special and requires him to 'eat people'. He forcibly absorbs the flesh and blood of others and their souls into his own body, and uses this to improve himself in all aspects."

"He came here once a hundred thousand years ago. At that time, quite a few people died at his hands."

“I thought that after 100,000 years, he would have already ascended to heaven, but I didn’t expect that he had been suppressing his realm all along. He was even crazy enough to take the initiative to dissolve into a weapon to cultivate into a Sanxian. Now he has become an eleven-tribulation Sanxian.”

"Among those present..."

"In terms of soul strength, I'm afraid there are few who are better than him."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will really be one of the few people who persevere to the end."

Eat abortion!
Lin Zixiao raised his eyebrows.

The so-called cannibalism is not too rare among the demon cultivators. It is the most evil among the demon cultivators.

Some powerful ones can even directly obtain some of the opponent's attributes and skills by "eating people".

If this person is not talking nonsense, then the spiritual strength of this man-eating demon king is probably really astonishing.

But just when everyone was preparing to continue exploring with their own plans...
The man-eating demon king who had just finished showing off suddenly screamed, and then, like the others before him, fire spewed from all his orifices, and he himself was quickly swallowed by the black flames.

As strong as the Man-Eating Demon King and the Eleven Tribulations Loose Immortal, he even entered the Abyss of Ten Thousand Worlds more than once...

But at this moment, he still had no power to resist.

Once it breaks out, it is almost instant death.

"what!!!"

Some people were surprised and exclamations rang out one after another.

"How could this happen?!"

"Even he..."

"His soul strength should at least be ranked in the top five, right? How could it be?!"

"Could it be that the previous speculation was wrong, and this black flame does not affect the soul?"

Someone even cursed angrily: "Who cares what the impact is? This ghost thing is too evil, I will kill him!"

Then, he took action and tried to extinguish the black flames by various means.

At first, he made a hand gesture and summoned a heavy rain...

However, water and fire, which should be incompatible, do not affect or invade each other at this moment, as if they are in two different worlds, you burn yours, I burn mine...

Then he used various means.

But it's useless.

Whether it was raining, blowing wind, using earth magic to condense a large amount of mud to bury it, or the most direct "physical and magical attacks", all were ineffective!

Even if it can be extinguished occasionally, it will come back again the next second and even more ferocious.

Some people suspected that there was something strange going on underground.

They bombarded the ground indiscriminately, creating a huge hole several miles deep in the ground.

However, it was still of no use.

The black flames were still burning fiercely, everywhere.

"this???"

They were stunned.

But some people laughed at it: "Stupid."

"If Black Flame could solve it, why would he wait until you guys come and try?"

"We've already tried that!"

"Besides, even if it can be solved, it will never be such an ordinary method."

"If you are afraid of death, get out of here right away."

"Now... it doesn't mean you can survive just because your soul is strong enough."

"···"

······
At this moment, everyone was a little nervous.

Fear comes from the unknown!
For the top strong men in each world, in fact, they are often not afraid of the so-called "strong men". No matter how strong the strong men are, there are always traces to follow.

Even if you can't win, at least you can save your life.

If you can't even save your life...

Then you can still escape.

If all else fails, there is another option: kneeling down and begging for mercy.

But at this moment, facing this unknown yet terrifying black flame, everyone felt uneasy.

only···
Most people are still unwilling to give up.

After all, the fat meat is right at your fingertips!
Lin Zixiao was also a little nervous.

There were many people around at the moment, so it was inconvenient for her to take out the Sky-Viewing Mirror for careful analysis. However, she continued to communicate with Sister Wu through her spiritual sense. However, even she could not figure out the specific reasons at the moment.

same.

Lin Fan also felt a little tingling on his scalp.

"What the hell is this?"

“Is that unknown and strange creature causing trouble?”

"Or is it a problem with the black flame itself?"

"I've been thinking about this as well." Sister Wu murmured, "Since I came here, I've actually been trying to analyze the composition of the black flame."

"But···"

"Until now, I still haven't figured out what this black flame is."

"It is like fire, but it has none of the qualities of fire."

"At first glance, it seems to have the power of devouring, but this description is not accurate."

"In fact, the more I look at it, the more it seems to have some characteristics of a living being."

"···"

"Life form?"

He does not mean that.

Lin Fan suddenly glared: "Tell me, is there a possibility that all these black flames are actually part of that unknown life form?"

"···this?!"

“Some of them are too unbelievable.”

Sister Wu said: "If that's the case, it's a little too big!"

This Flaming Mountain, although called a mountain, is actually extremely huge.

Although they had only explored a part of it, based on previous experience, they speculated that this entire "Flame Mountain" was probably a world in itself before "coming" to the Abyss of All Realms.

In other words...

A creature nearly the size of a world?

Is that still a living thing?

"There are all kinds of wonders in the universe, maybe?"

Lin Fan, however, has a different opinion.

Big?
It’s really ridiculously big.

But who says there can’t be creatures that big?
Many times, we cannot judge everything based on our own cognition.

After all, everyone's cognition comes from the knowledge he can access.

Unreachable...
Who knows?

Just like in the previous life on Earth, there were only carbon-based organisms.

But is it possible that the entire universe, and even the heavens and all worlds, only have carbon-based life forms?

"Moreover, if we look at it as a living organism, it seems that many of the puzzles we had before can be easily solved."

"but···"

"This is just speculation. I have no idea what methods the other party used and how they 'selected' their targets."

"Sister Wu, please pay more attention to me. If anything approaches, no matter what it is, you must remind me immediately!"

Lin Fan doesn't want to become a mummy and then turn into ashes!

"it is good!"

Sister Wu agreed immediately, but Lin Fan still didn't dare to relax even a little bit.

At the same time, he frowned and thought: "It doesn't matter what realm you are in, or how strong your soul is."

"···"

"Either this suspicious creature is randomly selecting its targets, or..."

"Everyone is within the attack range and is constantly under attack. It's just that the 'attribute' of the attack cannot be determined yet."

"When this 'attribute' exceeds the upper limit of a person's attribute, it will explode, causing black flames to erupt from the inside out, turning them into ashes in a short period of time..."

"Sister Wu, let's take a risk, get closer, and observe more people, especially the one who will be turned into ashes next, so that we can make more comparisons."

"Be careful." Sister Wu reminded.

······
Lin Fan slowly moved closer.

Sure enough, not long after, more people turned into ashes one after another.

The crowd was in a panic and more than a dozen people did not dare to stay any longer and chose to go back the same way.

During this process, Lin Fan and the Guantian Mirror saw it quite clearly.

“These people…”

"Sure enough, it has nothing to do with their strength or soul strength. It seems like a random death, but in fact, there are still traces to follow."

"So far, the characters of these people who died suddenly, no, or rather, these people... are mostly demonic cultivators or evil cultivators!"

“So, it’s not accurate to describe it as a mentality.”

"I should say..."

"The darkness in the heart, or...negative emotions?"

"If that's the case, then I don't have to worry about Gu Xinglian and Lin Zixiao in the short term."

······
Lin Fan was not the only one who discovered the initial clues.

After all, it's really obvious.

Most of the dead were demon cultivators, which was enough to scare the remaining demon cultivators out of their wits.

They no longer cared about the Heart of the World and rushed out as fast as they could, just to save their lives.

As for the Heart of the World...
At worst, I can find a solution outside.

But in this way, some died, some escaped, some gave up...
Their formation had already been disrupted, and it was no longer possible to continue with a carpet search.

Swish!
After someone pondered for a moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Xinglian... (End of this chapter)
