Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 252 9 Deaths and 1 Life Bridge

Chapter 252 The Bridge of Escape from Death
Time passed little by little.

Xu Shen's hideous and painful face gradually returned to calm.

The originally refreshing short hair has grown visibly and now hangs down to the soles of the feet.

Ding Yumian stared at Xu Shen's condition without blinking.

Her heart was in her throat, and she was just as nervous and anxious as Xu Shen.

Influenced by her, the villagers also stared at Xu Shen intently. They forgot to breathe due to excessive nervousness and their faces turned red.

Fortunately, Ding Yumian discovered their condition in time and tried hard to calm himself down, which made everyone feel a little better.

Finally, the game between Xu Shen and the life essence came to an end.

The bluish-pink lotus gradually changed from being solid to a faint shadow.

The tiny piece of light green stardust in the palm of Xu Shen's soul gradually turned into a pink-blue lotus. Nine pink-blue stars were playing in the lotus's core, dragging out pink-blue light tails, creating a dreamy beauty.

These stars are not at peace. Xu Shen, who has had two experiences, naturally knows that the opportunity for a breakthrough in the plant system has arrived.

He has never been careless in his cultivation. He hasn't absorbed the initial plant species yet. Now is not a good time to break through.

He suppressed the feeling of breakthrough and patiently did the finishing work of refining the Seed of Origin.

Finally, the lotus of immortality on the stone platform completely disappeared.

Xu Shen's soul had almost reached its limit, and the shadow of his soul seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Look!"

"The door is open!"

Some villagers exclaimed.

The door of the front hall slowly opened.

Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the old monk’s secret method of the Seed of Origin is still reliable.

He stood up slowly, and the blood scabs all over his body gradually fell off, revealing his fair and crystal clear skin.

He drew out the small sword and swung it casually, cutting the long hair that was dragging on the ground in half.

Ding Yumian's eyes flashed a little.

This guy seems to have become more handsome.

The skin was so white and glowing that she was a little envious.

"It looks like we've gained quite a lot?"

Fang Gu's face was filled with envy. As a fellow mage, he could naturally see that Xu Shen's condition was like a complete transformation.

"not bad."

Xu Shen smiled brightly, revealing his neat, white teeth.

Not to mention the huge gains from plant magic, the huge amount of life essence alone has made his physical strength improve a bit, and it seems to have surpassed the upper limit of the commander level.

Now, perhaps he is still unable to rival the monarch-level demons, but he can confidently say that he is invincible in defeating all commanders.

Xiao Yumian, who couldn't bear the beating, tsk...

Xu Shen winked secretly and smiled in a nasty way.

Ding Yumian rolled his eyes in annoyance and walked out of the front hall first.

After passing through a corridor, everyone entered a palace full of gorgeous colors.

The reason why it is called gorgeous.

This is because in this palace, except for the aisle in the middle, there are lifelike statues of naked women on both sides, stretching as far as the eye can see.

These young ladies carved from white jade truly have skin as white as jade.

They have graceful postures, sitting or standing, and smiling sweetly.

Walking past them, I felt as if I were an emperor visiting the harem, with three thousand beauties welcoming me.

Most of the villagers were simple and honest, with red faces and ears, lowering their eyebrows and looking submissive, but from time to time they couldn't help but look up and steal a few glances.

Especially those who have wives around them are suffering terribly.

Come to think of it, I have seen these women quite a bit.

Those who are bolder would just go straight to the point and rub and pinch the vital parts.

He left satisfied only after he was sure that it was a real stone sculpture, and then he started working on the next one.

Highlight a bold and brave character.

As for Xu Shen, he had to look straight ahead because of the eager gaze of his classmate Xiao Ding.

It’s a pity that the ancient king’s happiness cannot be fully experienced.

"Next is the bridge of life and death."

Fang Gu said: "To reach the altar and the Blood Throne, we must pass the Bridge of Nine Deaths and One Life. This is the most bizarre part of the Tomb Palace. Although the ancient king allowed us, his descendants, to enter his mausoleum, he did not seem to allow his descendants to be mediocre and useless, so he used the Evil Abyss to block outsiders and set up tests. The Eternal Demon Lotus selects strength, while the Bridge of Nine Deaths and One Life selects luck."

"luck?"

Xu Shen was stunned.

What kind of screening is this?

Fang Gu said nonsense in a serious tone, "It is said that most people in ancient dynasties believed in superstition, especially the mysterious fate. They believed in it without a doubt. The ancient king probably didn't like people with bad luck."

It may sound ridiculous, but some modern companies are even more ridiculous.

When they recruit people, they randomly pick half of the resumes and throw them into the trash can.

People who euphemistically call themselves unlucky will drag down the company's feng shui.

It sounds reasonable...bullshit.

When Xu Shen and others arrived at the Bridge of Life and Death, they were all numb.

Ten magnificent flying arch bridges fly across the empty cliffs where the wind is howling.

On the other side of the bridge was endless darkness.

The Bridge of Nine Lives, as the name suggests, is a true life-or-death situation.

Nine dead bridges and one living bridge.

If you are lucky, you can step onto the bridge and reach the other side.

For those who are unlucky, the cloud of corpses outside the underground palace may be their destination.

"So, there is no way to crack it?"

Fang Gu nodded heavily and said, "There are 27 of us here. The best way is to have three people walk on each bridge. For the last two bridges, two people will walk on each one and one person will walk on each other."

"That means, even if we are lucky enough, only three of us can reach the ancient king's throne?"

"Even if I pass it, I'm not sure if there will be any other tests next."

Some villagers grumbled.

For a moment, everyone felt much more depressed.

"I don't believe that the wise and capable ancient king would set up such an absurd test," Ding Yumian said calmly, "As far as I know, he doesn't believe in fate."

"That's right," Xu Shen nodded in agreement and said, "The deeds of your ancestor that have been passed down to the world are enough to prove that he was a Long Aotian-like person who believed that his fate was in his own hands. How could he set up such a ridiculous test?"

Fang Gu spread his hands and said, "Do you have any better ideas?"

"There will be."

Ding Yumian looked at the ten bridges carefully.

There is an ancient formation book that mentions that there is no formation that cannot be solved and no situation that cannot be broken.

What you think is a dead end is simply because your level is not good enough.

This bridge of life and death obviously conforms to some kind of formation rules.

The ten bridges looked exactly the same, with no flaws to be found.

But Yumian was not in a hurry.

Her talent as a victim has honed her ability to remain calm most of the time.

After thinking for a while, she stepped onto a nearby bridge.

Then, Xu Shen and others watched her disappear over the cliff.

"This……"
