Chapter 28: Mountain Top
The magic circle appeared for only a few seconds, and when they came to their senses, the vines, monsters, and birds had already appeared, staying in the same space with them and attacking them with clear goals.
For a moment, everyone was in a panic and scattered. Some of the strong ones had already started fighting with the monsters.
The huge monster chasing them, the dark purple vines under their feet, and the birds glaring at them in the air made them have to be extremely alert.
Some people found that these things that emerged from the magic circle were very illusory, and after killing one, another one would appear in the magic circle to make up for the missing one, making them feel like they would never be able to kill them all.
Xie Buyou escorted his fellow apprentices to a corner, and then began to observe the secret room. He remembered that the array of this secret room seemed to be hidden very deeply.
There are currently only two ways to leave this large secret room. One is to find the center of the array and destroy it, and the "door" will open.
Another way is to change the position of the six black magic circles so that they no longer continuously replenish the missing phantom monsters, and then kill all the remaining things that appear. After making sure that there will be no more monsters, bird beasts and vines in the secret room, the "door" will open automatically.
The eye of the circle is hard to find, but changing the position of the circle is easy. All you need to do is throw the monsters that shouldn't be in the circle into it.
He acted as soon as he said it. Xie Buyou turned around and told his fellow apprentices behind him about the plan. They all nodded in understanding.
"Everyone be careful and always pay attention to your own safety."
"Yes! Thank you, Senior Brother!" the fellow disciples said in unison.
After the plan was allocated, Xie Buyu took the lead and summoned the Zhaoyun Sword to chop at the purple vines that were swinging around and whipping people.
The thick vines only left shallow marks, but they were also angry, and countless vines whipped towards Xie Buyou. Xie Buyou jumped to avoid them, and the vines whipped the ground, leaving a deep groove in the ground.
Xie Buyou frowned, thinking that if this happened to him, he would be beaten to death on the spot, right?
Compared to those spiritual swords, Zhao Yun was still a bit ordinary, and it was within his expectations that he could not cut through the vines.
The Broken Cang Sword Manual can indeed cut through the vines, but the sword manual is a group attack. If he just clears out all of these things, how can he keep the people from the Tianjian Sect here to have fun?
So he found Tang Fengshan and expressed his willingness to cooperate with him, "Do you want to cooperate? Let's work together to keep the people from the Tianjian Sect here?"
Tang Fengshan agreed without hesitation, "Okay. How do we do it?"
Xie Buyu is a trustworthy person. Moreover, their disciples from Guijintang were also bullied. As the eldest senior brother, he was thinking about how to teach the disciples of Tianjian Sect a lesson.
"We will kill two monsters first, then throw them into the magic circles on the top and the ground, and then lead the remaining monsters to the Tianjian Sect to attract their attention. Then we can throw birds or vines into the magic circles on the four walls."
Xie Buyu did not forget to remind him, "The six magic circles will change their positions and the door will be opened, but there is a time limit. Don't forget to leave the secret room in time."
Tang Fengshan nodded, and the next things became much easier.
If someone is careful, they will find that the illusory objects that emerge from the magic circle will not disappear immediately after being killed. It will take some time before new illusory objects will appear in the corresponding magic circle.
The two major sects, Wandao Sect and Guijin Hall, cooperated and quickly completed the task according to the planned sequence.
Xie Buyou watched the door of the secret room open, then glanced at the besieged Tianjian disciples, and whispered to his fellow apprentice and others to leave quietly.
When most people had left, the disciples of Tianjian Sect finally reacted and looked towards the open door of the secret room.
Unfortunately, the door of the secret room was too far away from them at this moment. Coupled with the attacks from other illusory objects, they were unable to escape for a while and could only watch the door of the secret room close again.
Who isolated them?
When they find that person, they must use their swords to pierce the other person into a sieve!!!
Xie Buyou and others here ran out and rested for a while. Listening to the angry and frustrated voices inside, Xie Buyou felt relieved.
Those disciples from Wandao Sect and Guijin Hall who were bullied by Tianjian Sect were also happy.
"Xie Senior Brother! You are indeed the best Xie Senior Brother in the world!"
The two junior fellow apprentices once again occupied Xie Buyu's side, hugging his arms and acting coquettishly.
Tang Su immediately glared at both of them. After the two disciples looked at each other, they let go of Xie Buyu's arm and ran away.
Tang Su stepped forward and asked Xie Buyou, "Senior Brother Xie, where are we going next?" He paused, his expression becoming a little grim, "I just observed and found that this place seems to be... on the top of a mountain."
Unexpectedly, the small secret rooms and magic circles in the mountain sent them to the top of the mountain little by little.
The clouds that seemed within reach and the cold wind at high altitudes all indicated that they were at an immeasurable height.
Wan Dao Sect is also located in the mountains, but it will not cause any impact on the body. But this place unexpectedly makes it difficult for people to breathe.
The cold wind was blowing hard, causing some pain on the face, but for some reason, the feet felt extremely hot, as if ice and snow would immediately melt into water if they fell on the ground, instead of accumulating into snow.
This strange phenomenon made Tang Su very curious.
What kind of place have they arrived at this time?
Xie Buyou said, "It must be the top of the mountain. There is a big treasure here!"
"Big baby?" Tang Su was a little confused, "What big baby?"
Xie Buyu waved to Tang Su, signaling him to come closer. Tang Su immediately stepped forward.
Xie Buyu whispered in his ear: "A sword that is specifically designed to slay demons is hidden under the magma."
The breath in her ear and the faint unknown fragrance that she could smell when she got close to him. Tang Su didn't listen to a word Xie Buyu said, and her whole body was red from head to toe. She felt that she was hotter than the ground.
Xie Buyou, who had just finished speaking, saw that Tang Su had no reaction and thought that Tang Su didn't believe him. He looked down and saw that Tang Su looked like he had a fever. When he touched his forehead, it was also hot.
"Strange, why do I suddenly have a fever?" Xie Buyou touched his forehead with his other hand for comparison. It was obvious that Tang Su's forehead was abnormally permed.
I almost forgot that we can’t stay on the top of the mountain for too long, otherwise we will get a fever and burn to death.
"I'm fine, thank you, Senior Brother!" Tang Su thought it was her problem, so she waved her hand and said, then took out a Qingxin Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
After waiting there for a few seconds, my whole body was still burning hot and the heat showed no sign of going down.
"What's going on?" Tang Su said in disbelief, looking at the palm of his hand.
His exposed skin turned red due to the scalding, and the Qingxin Pills he swallowed had no effect at all. Instead, he felt as if he was getting hotter and hotter.
What's happening?
The elixir he made is actually ineffective?
This was no small blow to this young genius in the alchemy world.
Seeing Tang Su's frustrated expression, Xie Buyu rubbed his head and said comfortingly: "This is not your fault. No matter what kind of medicine, it is useless here."
"We have to leave here quickly, otherwise more and more people will get fever."
Just after Xie Buyu finished speaking, a panicked voice came from behind him, "Brother Xie, something bad has happened! Many people have a fever! No matter what pills they take, they are useless!"
Xie Buyou looked in the direction the other person was pointing. He was shocked to see a bunch of people lying on the ground in a twisted manner, with only a few still standing.
In this place, everyone had a high fever like ordinary people, and some even fell into a coma.
Suddenly, he felt a heaviness in his arms. Xie Buyou looked down and found that Tang Su had fainted without him knowing when, and his whole body was as hot as a small stove.
"Tangsu, wake up! Don't fall asleep!"
Seeing that he couldn't wake him up, Xie Buyou could only put him in a quiet corner. After he settled him down, he said to Tang Fengshan, who was also settling his fellow apprentices, "Brother Tang, please help take care of him here. I'll be back soon."
"Where are you going?" Tang Fengshan did not agree immediately this time. His premonition told him that the place Xie Buyou was going was very dangerous.
