The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Just when Cao Rui put away the magic sword, the surrounding fog seemed to be affected by some mysterious power and began to slowly dissipate.

Cao Rui was shocked: "Huh? What's going on here? Did I kill all the puppets and break the balance of this fog formation?"

Although he was confused, 놛 did not relax his vigilance.

After all, this is a fortress where anything can happen.

In order to ensure his own safety, Cao Rui decided to quickly move towards the central area.

Along the way, the surrounding fog receded at an alarming speed, and the field of vision continued to expand.

As his field of vision expanded, Cao Rui was surprised to find that there were only fragments of puppets on the ground, as well as the corpses of many monster beasts and monks.

Dead, very few people who entered the machine fortress, died.

Half of the monks who entered the machine fortress this time were already dead.

The danger level of this machine fortress is beyond imagination.

Continuing to fly forward, Cao Rui gradually approached the center area of ​​the mist formation.

At this time, the fog had completely dissipated, and a huge circular square appeared in front of 놛. The ground of the square is covered with ancient stone slabs, which are engraved with complex runes. This is the central area of ​​the mist formation.

When we returned to the central area, all the fog had receded.

Zhang Heng and the other three were standing in the square with confused expressions on their faces, obviously confused by the retreating fog.

Cao Rui ducked over.

"Yu, what's going on? What happened? Why did the fog disappear?" Why did the puppets disappear? "Zhang Heng looked confused.

Cao Rui shook his head slightly, his face slightly solemn: "I know, let's rush to the exit first."

Cao Rui led the way, taking three people from the central area to the exit.

Along the way, I saw the remains of the 누놊꿁 puppet, as well as corpses.

"The three-headed monster is dead."

"Elder Bai of the Yunshui Sect is dead."

"The monk over there is from the Miaoyin Temple." Zhang Heng's voice was also rare and serious.

After being smashed to death by these puppets who looked like top physical practitioners, the corpses after death were all mutilated, and their identities could only be guessed based on vague traces.

Zhang Heng was secretly glad that if he followed Cao Rui into the machine fortress this time, he might have to face this first level.

놊A long time.

Cao Rui led the three of them to the exit he expected.

What came into view were several neatly arranged teleportation arrays. These teleportation arrays don't look complicated, but if you look closely, you can find that four of them have lost their aura.

Zhang Heng looked at these teleportation arrays, frowned slightly and said, "This seems to be a one-time teleportation array. Does it mean we need to take action?"

놛 is older, has rich experience, and knows a lot about various formations.

"Four of them have been activated, and they have already entered the next level in advance."

One-time teleportation array is a special teleportation array that can only be used by a single person and will be destroyed immediately once used.

This kind of teleportation array is usually used in some specific occasions or tasks to ensure that participants can independently complete a certain stage of the test.

At this moment, Cao Rui keenly noticed that there seemed to be something inside the teleportation array.

놛Concentrated his spiritual consciousness to investigate carefully, and sure enough, he found that there was a ball of light floating quietly in the center of each teleportation array.

Cao Rui carefully directed his consciousness towards the light ball, and the light ball immediately gave four clear text messages: Reward for passing the level!

Seeing this news, Cao Rui couldn't help but feel sore in his teeth. It turned out that the machine actually set rewards for passing the level here.

Several other people also probed their spiritual consciousness into the light ball, and also received the feedback information of "passing the level reward".

For a moment, everyone had different expressions.

"Is there no way to leave the machine fortress and teleport to the world?" Tan Hongmei frowned and said.

Seeing that this level is so dangerous and so many monks died, Tan Hongmei has already thought about leaving.

Cao Rui said at this time: "Yes."

Cao Rui pointed to the teleportation array next to the last one among several rows of teleportation arrays and said: "There is no reward setting for that teleportation array. It is also a one-time teleporter, and its position matches the gap in the array. You should leave. 꽭The teleportation array of the machine fortress.”

Tan Hongmei's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was convinced of what Cao Rui said: "Zhang Heng, let's leave. We can't enjoy the rewards of the machine fortress."

Zhang Heng looked hesitant when he heard this.

"Why are you hesitating? The Yunshui Sect is dead and only Gu Qingying is left."

"Shang Miaoyin Temple is almost dead."

"If Yu Yijian takes us, I'm afraid we two will be the first to die." Tan Hongmei said.

The two of us are relatively old, come from casual cultivating backgrounds, and have strong skills. The machine fortress is so dangerous, so it is obviously suitable for us to take risks.

Zhang Heng looked at the rewards on the teleportation array: "I'm very happy to have worked hard and risked my life without getting any rewards."

The rewards on the teleportation array are shrouded by the magic circle, and the object-controlling magic cannot shake them.

Obviously, the meaning of the machine is that you need to choose to enter the teleportation array, continue to enter the next level, and get the reward.

At this time, Cao Rui patted the storage bag, and fifteen high-grade spiritual stones appeared in front of him.

Cao Rui waved his hand, and the high-grade spiritual stone split into three parts and flew towards Shi Sha, Zhang Heng, and Tan Hongmei.

"This is your share of spiritual stones."

"How can this be done?" Tan Hongmei said in demur.

It was no problem for Shisha to accept the spirit stones. She and Zhang Heng did not contribute much, so how could she accept five high-grade spirit stones.

Five high-grade spirit stones were worth 60,000 spirit stones in the real world, which was also a huge income for a foundation-building cultivator.

"No need to say more, just accept it. Even if you didn't pull me in, I would definitely enter the Jiji Fortress." Cao Rui said.

Indeed, with the presence of the fourth-level demon cultivator Lanlong Daoist, if Zhang Heng, who was out of character, found a reason to pull Cao Rui in, Cao Rui would really have a headache about how to enter the Jiji Fortress.

The teleportation array of the Jiji Fortress was activated once, and the next activation would have to be next month.

Moreover, after the Jiji Fortress was opened this time, it could be directly teleported to the next area.

Under Cao Rui's persuasion, Zhang Heng and the other two accepted the spirit stones.

With five high-quality spirit stones as a foundation, Zhang Heng also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to break through the barriers and decided to leave the Jiji Fortress with Tan Hongmei.

"But, I suggest you wait for a while before going out."

"Because of the teleportation array here, we don't know where to send us. If we go back to the original location, Taoist Lanlong can wait there." Cao Rui reminded.

After this, Tan Hongmei and Zhang Heng also changed their faces, and finally decided to wait here for a while before leaving.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, do you choose to continue to break through the barriers?" Cao Rui looked at Shi Sha.

Shi Sha nodded gently: "Yes."

Compared with the pain during cultivation, the crisis in the Jiji Fortress is nothing.

Shi Sha entered this place for only one purpose, that is, to find an opportunity to advance to the Golden Core.

"Okay."

"Then bless us with good luck."

Cao Rui nodded slightly and stepped forward to choose a teleportation array.

Cao Rui took a deep breath and entered the teleportation array. The teleportation array was immediately activated. The light ball inside was instantly broken, and the things inside turned into a stream of light and flowed into Cao Rui's hands.

There was a jade slip, and Cao Rui didn't have time to take a closer look, so he put the pass reward into the storage bag.

Then there was a whirlwind, the teleportation array was activated, and Cao Rui's figure disappeared from everyone's eyes.
