Seeking Immortality

Despair is a very strange state. Sometimes, it can make people crazy, turn panic into resentment, and transfer it to others. Sometimes, it is just pure despair. Facing the impending disaster, they do not block or avoid it, and close their eyes to wait for death. But sometimes, despair can also stimulate human potential, and greatly improve people's physical and intellectual abilities in a certain moment.

For example, Bai Yu at this time.

Before, facing the overwhelming monsters, Bai Yu was confused and panicked, but relying on Lao Qi, he pulled him to escape here, and he was confused all the way. When Bai Yu wanted to save Lao Wu regardless of the situation, it was Lao Qi who stopped him rationally.

From this point of view, it seems that Lao Qi is more than a little stronger than Bai Yu.

But when Lao Qi pulled Bai Yu to the barrier, he found that the barrier had been closed, and there was no intention to open it for the two of them. Turning around, he saw that a group of monsters were getting closer and closer. Lao Qi seemed to be able to clearly sense the hot air with bloody smell sprayed from the monsters during their breath.

Facts have proved that compared with simple despair, despair after hope is broken is more despairing. For example, at this moment, after seeing hope shattered, Lao Qi's face turned pale and almost transparent in just a moment. He stared at the closed barrier in front of him, and his body gradually became stiff. Then he seemed to finally realize his situation. He trembled suddenly and fell to the ground. His eyes were scattered and he was no longer decisive and rational.

"Master... Senior Brother... Lao Wu..." Lao Qi murmured. Judging from the direction of the monster beast's attack, it was not only Lao Wu who was torn into pieces in front of him before. Even his proud master and senior brother might have the same fate.

In a blink of an eye, the monster beast was less than a mile away from the two.

Lao Qi stood up suddenly and was about to attack the group of monster beasts. He knew how powerless his counterattack was in front of the overwhelming monster beasts. He knew that he might be torn into pieces by the monster beasts before he killed a monster beast. He knew that no matter what he did now, it would be useless.

But. Thinking of the eight friends who were killed, and the unknown life and death of his master and senior brother, he didn't want to be killed by the monster.

At least, even if he only injured some monsters before he died, it would be a revenge for his master and senior brothers. For those eight friends, right?

But as soon as Lao Qi moved, his shoulder was pressed down by a hand, and the power contained in the hand was so great that Lao Qi couldn't move at all.

Turning around, it was Bai Yu.

However, Bai Yu at this time. Compared with the helplessness just now, he has changed a lot. At least the clear eyes are something Lao Qi has never seen before.

"What are you doing?!" Lao Qi asked angrily, his expression was the same as Bai Yu before. In desperation, he just wanted revenge, although it was unlikely to succeed, even if it was just to kill a monster.

The overwhelming monsters rushed over, getting closer and closer. The earth shook like a natural disaster. The overwhelming monsters gathered together, and the power they generated was even more amazing. Lao Qi's roar seemed so powerless in this environment.

Bai Yu shook his head and said quickly: "Lao Qi, don't do stupid things, we still have hope."

Lao Qi was slightly stunned, but in an instant his expression became even more angry, and he shouted: "What hope is there? The Righteous Alliance has given up on us, and those monsters are about to rush to us. What hope do we have? I just want revenge now, what? Bai Yu, are you afraid?"

Bai Yu heard Lao Qi's irrational roar, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes, but as the monsters were getting closer and closer, he didn't care to debate with Lao Qi, but just said quickly: "Believe it or not, just follow me, don't do stupid things."

As he said, Bai Yu didn't care about Lao Qi's astonishment, and quickly walked to the barrier and raised his right arm. It was seen that Bai Yu's right arm was surprisingly enlarged several times in the moment it was raised, and the muscles were tangled, containing extremely amazing power. From a distance, this arm was not less than the size of a **. ^^

"Hah!!"

While shouting, Bai Yu's right arm smashed down hard on the ground near the barrier. The roar produced by the collision of his fist and the ground overwhelmed the sound of thousands of beasts running not far away.

Stones flew and the smoke dissipated. A hole about ten feet deep appeared in front of the two. But Bai Yu was still not satisfied. He jumped into the hole and smashed down with another fist. The hole became several feet deeper.

Seeing Bai Yu throwing the gravel and dust in the cave out, Lao Qi thought he had understood Bai Yu's purpose and shook his head and said, "Bai Yu, it's useless. This barrier was set up by the masters. It still exists even under the earth. Even if we dig a hole, we can't get back to Ronghua Mountain."

The monster was getting closer, but Bai Yu was still digging a hole. After hearing Lao Qi's words, Bai Yu said, "I know, I didn't think about going back through the cave."

When danger was approaching, in despair, Bai Yu's consciousness became clearer and sharper. In the past, Xu Qingfan not only taught him the method of cultivating martial arts, but also often taught him how to analyze and deal with things, but Bai Yu had never listened to these seriously.

But at this time, watching the monster getting closer, Xu Qingfan's previous teachings emerged in Bai Yu's mind one after another, so clear that Bai Yu himself was also very surprised.

According to the analysis method taught by Xu Qingfan, Bai Yu's mind was running fast, analyzing his situation, advantages and difficulties.

The situation is obvious. The road ahead is blocked, and monsters are coming from behind. They may die at any time. And the dilemma is basically the same. But there is also an advantage, that is, the Righteous Alliance, which seems to have abandoned him and Lao Qi.

In Bai Yu's analysis, the reason why the Righteous Alliance closed the barrier at this time was not simply to abandon the two, but the barrier needed a certain amount of time to open and close, and looking at the neat formation of the monsters that attacked, it was obvious that there was still room for speed. The Righteous Alliance has not reacted yet and does not know how to deal with the monsters that suddenly attacked. The second is that they are worried that if Bai Yu and Lao Qi are put into the barrier, those monsters will suddenly rush in when the barrier is opened, and rush into the range of "Ronghua Mountain" in the chaos, and then it will be a real catastrophe.

But Bai Yu also knows that the Righteous Alliance will never let these monsters attack and attack. Before the monsters attack the barrier, the Righteous Alliance will definitely try to stop them, and the biggest crisis for him and Lao Qi is. In fact, it was not that the monsters attacked and killed them, tore them into pieces and swallowed them, but that the Righteous Alliance would attack. Once the monsters counterattacked, he and Lao Qi were in the middle of the attack from both sides. Under the powerful attack, he and Lao Qi had no choice but to turn into ashes in an instant.

But the chance of survival for him and Lao Qi also lies here. Under the obstruction of the Righteous Alliance, the monsters could not get close to the barrier in a short time, which was where the two were now. As long as they left the range of the two sides' fight, he and Lao Qi could survive.

However, the monsters were getting closer and closer. The Righteous Alliance could attack at any time, and it was too late for the two to escape. The only place to hide was underground! !

So the reason why Bai Yu used his fist to hit the ground and create a hole in the ground was not to enter the range of the Righteous Alliance through the hole, but to avoid the fight between the two sides that was about to start.

In fact, Bai Yu's analysis was all right. All the remaining Jindan-stage cultivators of the Righteous Alliance gathered together. They formed a certain formation, and seemed to be about to launch some kind of attack through the formation barrier set up by the masters. When they looked at Bai Yu and Lao Qi outside the barrier, they also had a little guilt and regret in their eyes.

But when the Jindan-stage masters saw Bai Yu start to bombard the earth to create a hole in the ground, they all showed surprise and appreciation in their eyes.

Finally, when the overwhelming black monsters ran to the distance of less than 300 feet from the barrier, the barrier of the Righteous Alliance suddenly produced a very attractive and powerful spiritual fluctuation, and the five elements of spiritual energy in the air began to become chaotic. \\

At this time, Bai Yu finally created a hole five feet deep with a bend at the end, and then without saying a word, he pulled Lao Qi, who was shocked by the powerful spiritual fluctuations in the barrier, into the hole.

Just as Bai Yu and Lao Qi hid in the bend of the cave, they felt the spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly exploded.

At the same time, outside the cave, the huge formation barrier surrounding "Ronghua Mountain" with a range of 300 miles suddenly flashed with dazzling colorful spiritual light, and then these colorful spiritual lights began to fluctuate like flowing water, and then gathered at one point, and the spiritual light became more dazzling. The power generated was actually able to compete with the power generated by countless monsters gathered together.

In the confrontation of power, time seemed to begin to solidify.

Then, the spiritual light suddenly turned into a beam of light at the gathering point, attacking the monsters rushing over. Obviously, there was no sound when the beam of light was shot, but Bai Yu and Lao Qi, who were hiding under the ground, seemed to sense some kind of sound waves that frightened the soul in their hearts, and they couldn't help but churn in their five internal organs, bleeding from all seven orifices, and suffered some serious internal injuries.

When the beam of light was shot out, the monsters instinctively felt a panic, but because of the dense formation during the attack, there was no room to dodge.

Finally, the beam of light shot into the group of monsters. At the same time, the monsters also fought back, opened their bloody mouths, and attacked "Ronghua Mountain" with various fireballs and ice cones. But the barrier had a strong defense, and all kinds of seemingly powerful attacks, although the earth shook, only caused the barrier to fluctuate.

On the other side, although the beam of light was powerful, it was silent except for the dazzling spiritual light after the attack. But after a moment, the light and smoke dissipated, and the two or three thousand monsters rushing in the front suddenly disappeared, and even their bones were gone.

Originally, there were only three or four hundred Jindan-stage cultivators left in Ronghua Mountain. Although most of the two or three thousand monsters killed were human-level monsters, there were also many earth-level monsters. Such an effect was produced because the formation barrier set up by the masters was too mysterious.

Two or three thousand monsters died at once, without even a corpse or injury. This shock was not small. Even if the monsters were not very intelligent, they could not help but stop rushing forward.

At this moment, the five-element spiritual light that had appeared before appeared again on the formation barrier. As the spiritual light gathered again, the light column was about to form, and the monsters were in chaos again.

At this moment, a fox hissing sound suddenly sounded, and the world seemed to be shocked.

Then, the group of beasts retreated to the sides without paying attention to the terrifying light column that was about to form. Then. Under the gaze of all the beasts, five beasts of different appearances slowly walked out of the herd. The leading beast was a nine-tailed fox. The fox hissing sound just now was obviously made by it.

But I saw this fox barking at a squirrel-like monster next to it, and then took a deep look at the "Ronghua Mountain" in front of me. Then there was once again a hissing sound that resounded throughout the world.

With a hissing sound, the beasts retreated like a well-trained army. He retreated to three miles away. This location is very mysterious. The Righteous Alliance can no longer attack the beast herd, and the beast herd just gives the Righteous Alliance a basic sense of security.

After a long time, when the Righteous Alliance was sure that the suddenly attacking monster would not attack again, it finally opened a small crack in the barrier, and a monk ran out, letting Bai Yu and Lao Qi go back in the cave.

Is it over?

Bai Yu felt a little incredible. The two sides were fighting just now, and the earth shook. The hole in the ground almost collapsed. Now his clothes were covered with dust and he looked very embarrassed.

Based on his previous judgment. Although this fight was just a test between each other, it would take at least half an hour to end. However, I didn't expect that the leader of the monster beast would make such a decisive decision.

In order to avoid the fighting between the two sides, Bai Yu had previously created a cave about five feet deep. However, when he dug it out, he clearly felt that the cave was only less than four feet deep. It was not that Bai Yu remembered it wrong, but The brief battle just now actually knocked the ground down by more than a foot! !

Bai Yu still underestimated the strength of the beasts to fight back. But he didn't know if the battle really lasted for half an hour as he had guessed before, how long could the seemingly safe underground cave protect him and Lao Qi.

Entering the barrier in embarrassment, they found that the leaders of each faction were standing in front of the barrier with solemn expressions.

Bai Yu and Lao Qi had a look of fear on their faces, and walked dejectedly to the heads of each faction, waiting to be scolded.

But at this time, the heads of the various factions no longer cared about the two men sneaking out. In fact, in the face of countless monster attacks, the life and death of these two people could not cause any fluctuation in the mood of the heads. .

How many monsters are there in that black mass of monsters? How great is the harm caused? Even if the leaders are used to seeing wind and waves, they are secretly frightened when they think about it now.

What's more, looking at the actions and behavior of these monster beasts, they are extremely well-trained, like an army, and must be led by extremely skilled people. At this time, the beasts are retreating. If these monster beasts are afraid of the counterattack of the Righteous Alliance, it might as well be It is said that it was repaired after traveling thousands of miles away. The next attack will come no matter when.

The most important thing is that the aura of the monsters that were revealed at the last moment made even the leaders feel shocked. Those monsters turned out to be the legendary heaven-level monsters! ! In addition to being extremely terrifying in strength, heaven-level monsters also have spiritual intelligence that is not inferior to that of top human beings.

And in the face of these endless monsters, what should the Righteous Alliance do? Most of the capable monks are performing tasks in various parts of the vast land of China and cannot join up with their headquarters at all. Although the formations and barriers set up by the masters are powerful, their energy will be exhausted sooner or later. The Grandmasters whom the Righteous Alliance relies on do not know where they are.

Thinking of this, all the leaders felt a sense of despair.

Seeing Qing Lingzi waving, Bai Yu and Lao Qi hurriedly walked aside, secretly glad to have escaped a scolding.

"Brother Yu!!"

Just after leaving the heads, Bai Yu heard Zhang Ningmei's voice. He turned around and saw Zhang Ningmei running towards him, with Ting'er following behind. Among them, Zhang Ningmei had strong worry and anger in her eyes, and Ting'er The child is still indifferent. If you look closely, there seems to be a hint of regret.

"I'm sorry, senior sisters, it was my fault this time and I made you worry."

After Zhang Ningmei rushed to Bai Yu's side, she was just about to yell and scold her when she looked at the scene outside the barrier. She almost fainted. When she saw that Bai Yu was fine, even Zhang Ningmei, who had always been calm, felt filled with anger. But when Zhang Ningmei was about to speak, Bai Yu spoke first.

His expression was sincere and natural, and the most important thing was that there was no disapproval hidden in his eyes like when he begged for mercy before. Bai Yu actually didn't make any random promises like "never again" like before. It seemed that there was no need to say it anymore.

Looking at Bai Yu's thoughtful and serious expression. Zhang Ningmei felt that it seemed that Brother Yu, who would never grow up before her, had undergone some kind of change, becoming more mature and calmer.

"What's going on?" He looked at the scene in front of him. Xu Qingfan said in surprise.

At this time, Master Xu Qingfan, Jin Qinghan, Bo Guangyan, and a monk named Bo Hui from "Ciyun Temple". Under the leadership of Xiaoheidi, they have arrived in the blood-colored valley, deep in the cave.

But what I saw. But it surprised Xu Qingfan.

"What's going on?"

Master Bo Guangyan next to him asked. Xu Qingfan pointed at the empty belly of the mountain in front of him, frowned and said: "According to Xiao Hei's detection, there should be about 400 beastly cultivators in this mountain belly, but now none of them are missing, and they can't even sense their breath. , it’s really strange.”

"How could this happen? Is there really another way out of this cave, and before I came in, those beastly monks left through other ways?"

Jin Qinghan asked strangely.

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Xu Qingfan shook his head and hesitated for a moment. He turned to Master Bo Guangyan and asked, "Let's go in and investigate."

This time is different from the past. Two teams are working together, and Master Bo Guangyan's cultivation and reputation are not ahead of him. Therefore, Xu Qingfan still needs to discuss various decisions with Bo Guangyan.

"It can only be like this."

Bo Guangyan nodded and walked into the belly of the mountain first. Xu Qingfan and others hurriedly followed.

In the belly of the mountain, the bloodstones above and below the ground scattered a faint blood-red light, making the environment more weird and depressing.

"From the outside, there should be no other way out of the belly of the mountain, but it cannot be denied that there is a possibility of a secret passage. Let's take a closer look to see if there is a secret passage on the mountain wall or underground."

Xu Qingfan said softly, and the others nodded and dispersed in all directions, walked to the blood-colored mountain wall, knocked and hammered, and tested whether there was a secret passage.

In this knocking and hammering, time passed unknowingly, but none of the four people noticed that the light emitted by the bloodstone had become dim unknowingly.

More importantly, some bloodstones on the mountain walls and the ground gradually began to loosen, but no one knew what material this bloodstone was made of. Not only could it hide the breath of the cultivator, but it was also silent when it loosened. Unless you saw it with your own eyes, you would not be able to feel it after turning around.

Compared with Master Bo Guangyan, who was called a second-generation disciple, but in fact, his treatment, entry time and cultivation were equivalent to those of the first-generation disciples, Master Bohui could be said to be the first among the real second-generation disciples. Although he had only cultivated immortals for two hundred years, his cultivation had reached the late stage of the solid elixir, which was seen by many elders of "Ciyun Temple".

Although Bohui was highly praised, he was humble and low-key, and acted cautiously. In the "Ciyun Temple" team, although he was only a second-generation disciple, he was the most valued by Bo Guangyan. For example, when he entered the cave to explore this time, although there were many first-generation disciples in the "Ciyun Temple" team, Bo Guangyan only brought him with him.

Like the other three, Bohui was also knocking on the four bloody walls in the belly of the mountain, using the sound to detect whether it was empty.

Suddenly, Master Bohui felt that a wall at the corner of his eye seemed to vibrate slightly, but the light was dim, and the wall loosened silently. The consciousness did not detect it at all, and there was no sound in the ears. Master Bohui did not dare to say whether it was true or his own illusion.

So Master Bohui walked towards the loose place.

When he walked to the loose place, Master Bohui hesitated slightly and was ready to reach out and knock on the wall.

But just when his hand was half extended, the wall suddenly exploded, and a beast-crazy monk in the wall suddenly pounced on Master Bohui. His eyes were bloodshot and drooling from the corners of his mouth. His image was ferocious.

Master Bohui was startled and was about to retreat, but he was horrified to find that a pair of bloody hands suddenly appeared under his feet and grabbed his feet tightly.

Then, during this delay, a beast-crazy monk suddenly appeared from the mountain wall and pounced on Master Bohui, biting him.

More beast-crazy monks crawled out from different parts of the mountain wall and underground, ran to Master Bohui, and bit him.

Blood spurted everywhere.

The same scene, or with different details, also happened to Xu Qingfan and others! !
