Big dreamer

Seeing this, Shen Luo hurriedly activated the earth escape talisman to chase after him.

However, when he returned to the ground, the strange figure had disappeared. He only saw Huang Ting holding a strange monster with a green vine in one hand and a gorgeous flower on its head.

Its flower-like cheeks had anthropomorphic facial features, and its expression was very ferocious at the moment, staring at Huang Ting fiercely, and there were dense vines growing under its body, each rooted in the ground.

At this moment, Shen Luo suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted "Be careful". At the same time, he shook his wrist, and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo suddenly flew over, passing by Huang Ting's ear, and cut off a vine that stretched out from behind him with a sword.

"Don't repent." Huang Ting's face suddenly turned cold, and he cursed angrily.

After that, a dazzling green light burst out from her palm, and a green flame suddenly overflowed from it, instantly engulfing the vine. .

The monster's anthropomorphic facial features suddenly revealed a look of extreme pain, but it did not make any sound. The vines under it rolled wildly as if struggling, but they were burned to ashes in a few seconds.

"Thank you." Huang Ting breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Shen Luo.

"What is that?" Shen Luo asked.

"Vine Demon Flower, a mid-stage out-of-body demon." Huang Ting explained.

"Why are there so many monsters in this secret realm?" Shen Luo couldn't help asking.

"This Hualian Secret Realm was originally a trial place for Putuo Mountain to train sect disciples, but for some reason it has been closed for many years. This reopening allows us to experience it first." Huang Ting picked up a demon pill from the remains of the vine demon flower, put it away, and explained.

"So, the puppet you encountered earlier should also be a trial object. By the way, did you see a ball of purple fire rushing out just now?" Shen Luo pondered for a moment and asked again.

"I saw it. After rushing out of the ground, it absorbed the fire giant outside and escaped. If I am not mistaken, that thing should be Yunyouhuo, which is one of the species of fantasy beasts that have survived since ancient times. I didn't expect that there are still breeding in the secret realm of Putuo Mountain." Huang Ting nodded and said so.

Shen Luo couldn't help but frowned when he heard it.

"But don't worry, that guy is different from the vine monster flower. He is cowardly by nature. After being repelled by you this time, he probably doesn't dare to turn back and chase him." Huang Ting saw this and spoke again.

Shen Luo nodded silently when he heard it.

After tossing for most of the night, it was almost dawn now, and the two of them had no intention of resting and continued to head towards the center of the secret realm.

Three days later, Shen Luo and his companions finally broke out of the dense forest, and in front of them appeared a circular square paved with white stones and covering a large area of ​​land.

The reason why it is called a circular square is that in the central area of ​​the square, you can see a semi-circular light shield that is hundreds of feet high, like a big pot upside down on the ground, surrounding a piece of forest inside.

As soon as Shen Luo and his companions stepped onto the square, two figures flew over quickly from a distance.

"Shen Luo..."

"Cousin..."

Bai Xiaotian's voice and Nie Caizhu's voice came together.

"Cousin, Xiaotian." Shen Luo showed a happy expression and immediately went to meet him.

"What's wrong with you kid? Why did you take so long and make us wait for so long." Bai Xiaotian punched Shen Luo on the shoulder as soon as he came up and said.

"I also wanted to come earlier. I was constantly entangled by monsters along the way, so I couldn't get up quickly." Shen Luo said helplessly.

Bai Xiaotian and Nie Caizhu both showed some strange expressions on their faces when they heard this.

"What's wrong? Has someone won?" Shen Luo's face changed slightly.

"No one won, but you said that you were constantly entangled by monsters along the way. Did you encounter any powerful monsters?" Nie Caizhu asked hesitantly.

"It's not bad. They are all monsters around the Out-of-Body Stage." Shen Luo was relieved after hearing this and said.

"Out-of-Body Stage? Then you are really unlucky. I haven't encountered many monsters on the way here. The most powerful one I encountered was just a wolf monster in the late Soul Condensation Stage." Bai Xiaotian said with a sigh.

"I am in a similar situation. It seems that the location you teleported to is worse." Nie Caizhu also said.

While the few people were talking, Huang Ting also came up. Seeing that Shen Luo was chatting lively with the two, he just bowed his head and walked away without saying anything.

Shen Luo wanted to call her, but when he thought that they were about to reach the vicinity of the Chinese neem tree, their previous cooperative relationship would soon turn into a competitive relationship, so he stopped talking again.

"Since you have all arrived, why don't you hurry to the chinaberry tree?" Shen Luo looked at Bai Xiaotian and asked.

"Not just us, the rest of the people have actually arrived one after another, but they are all blocked outside by the barrier." Bai Xiaotian pointed to the translucent "big pot" upside down in the distance and said.

"Can't open it?" Shen Luo looked at it from a distance and asked in confusion.

"Whether it is to solve the formation according to the law or to break it with external force, all the attempts of the people before have failed without exception." Nie Caizhu shook her head and said.

"What kind of formation is this? Can anyone see it?" Shen Luo asked.

"Fellow Daoist Ku Lin of Qinglian Temple said that it is a bit similar to the Vajra Demon Subduing Circle of Buddhism, but the difference is that there is another layer of formation outside the formation here, which completely covers the formation hub of the Vajra Demon Subduing Circle, so it cannot be broken." Bai Xiaotian said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo subconsciously looked at Nie Caizhu who was standing aside.

Nie Caizhu blushed slightly and said: "After I entered the school, I have been busy practicing, rarely walking around the door, and I don't know much about many things in the door."

"It's okay, let's go take a look first and then talk." Shen Luo smiled and said.

Then, the three of them walked through the White Stone Square and came to the translucent light shield. Through the gaps in the trees inside, Shen Luo saw the neem tree in the center at a glance.

He raised his hand and touched it gently on the light mask. It felt like he was touching a piece of warm egg shell. But when he pressed down harder, the light mask became harder.

"If you attack with force, the light shield will become more indestructible, and the force of the rebound is likely to hurt the attacker." Seeing this, Bai Xiaotian explained.

Shen Luo lowered his gaze and saw a complex rune engraved on the ground at the base of the mask, extending along the edge of the mask to both sides.

He frowned slightly and walked forward along the base of the light shield while carefully looking at the runes on the ground.

After walking for a short half circle, they met Ku Lin and Chi Yue. They were also studying the runes on the ground carefully. They both had deep frowns and an expression of incomprehensible embarrassment.

"Two fellow Taoists, do you have any clues?" Shen Luo asked.
