At this time, Hua Shi was still fighting with the black snakes.
Just as he had felt before, for some reason the black snakes here were much weaker than when they were in the woods outside Tianqing City. Hua relied on Jiang Tingwan's help, so he didn't have to spend too much energy to deal with them.
However, there seemed to be other black snakes hiding in this abyss. After noticing the movement here, many black snakes rushed out from the surrounding corners and attacked Hua Shi.
This was actually not difficult for Hua Shi to solve. The opponent was not coming very fast, and their number was still within the range that Hua Shi could resist. At this level, he and Jiang Tingwan could still solve it easily. But what concerned him was that while he was fighting with the black snakes, the black snakes were still trying to find ways to destroy the stone pillars.
Jiang Tingwan beside him was also clearly in trouble at this time. During the fight, he was distracted and covered his head several times. It seemed that he almost fainted several times. Hua Shi also hurriedly helped him several times, which prevented Jiang Tingwan from being swallowed by the black snake.
"Senior Jiang!" Hua Shi carefully protected Jiang Tingwan. After chopping a black snake into pieces, he pulled the man to his side. "Senior Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Tingwan covered his head in pain and was unable to answer his question immediately. He only managed to squeeze out a sentence with difficulty: "Be careful behind you."
Hua Shi turned around quickly, and several more black snakes attacked him. Seeing that another stone pillar in the distance was damaged, Hua Shi became anxious: "No, this is not a solution..."
The number of black snakes gradually increased, and there might be black snakes destroying things in other places in the valley. He alone had no time to stop them.
No, it seems that he is not really alone.
He remembered his cheat and immediately shouted in his mind: "Senior Elf, Senior Mountain Whale, are you there?"
The evil spirit and the mountain whale responded to Hua Shi's words almost at the same time. After noticing each other's response, the two spirits rejected each other with disgust: "Go away, he called me first."
"You should be the one to leave. You are not as old as me. You should let me do it at times like this."
"I'm not as big as you, but I'm much more useful than you. Do you want to get beaten again?"
"Hey you..."
Hua Shi was annoyed by the quarrel between the two of them, and quickly stopped them from quarreling, saying, "I am not familiar enough with Senior Shanjing's spiritual transformation, so I have to trouble Senior Shanjing to use his spiritual power to help me this time. Senior Spirit, please."
The evil spirit lazily replied "Got it", with a slightly smug tone, as if showing off to the mountain whale.
The mountain whale cried out angrily twice, but he understood the situation and quickly said, "I know, go ahead, kid."
Hua Shi nodded and released the power of his spiritual sea again to enter the spiritual state. Then his body shape changed and his movements became much faster. As he made a move, a dozen black snakes were overturned by his spiritual power and lay on the ground, sticking out their tongues and making faint "hissing" sounds.
Hua Shi had used up most of his strength in this attack. After he had finally subdued most of the black snakes in front of him, he carefully placed Jiang Tingwan, who had a pale face and covered his head, under a broken stone pillar. Then he said, "Senior Jiang, please wait a moment. I will go deal with the black snakes elsewhere..."
He was just about to get up and go, but at this moment, several sounds of breaking through the air suddenly rang out in the air. It turned out that several swords broke through the bloody red mist and came close to Hua Shi.
Hua Shi immediately looked up and saw several figures standing in the air. They were Xuan Shuzhi and others who had just parted with him in Lingge not long ago!
Xuan Shuzhi stood on the sword casually, while Yi Zhan was beside him, stepping on his weapon, the silver knife. Wen Zhong and Bai Heng were both stepping on a knife. Lu Yao was following behind them, looking at the stone pillars on the ground and the traces of the battle with a nervous and cold expression, as if he wanted to see through the ground to see the situation deep underground.
Hua Shi looked at the people who suddenly appeared in astonishment: "Master? How many seniors?"
He was still in a spiritual state at this time. He took a few steps to the front of the crowd and then asked stutteringly: "Why are you here?"
Xuan Shuzhi sighed helplessly, looked at Jiang Tingwan who was settled by Hua Shi next to the stone pillar, and said: "You were taken away, and we chased after you immediately, but we didn't expect that the person who took you away would be Jiang Tingwan." He fell from the sword with a complicated expression, came to Jiang Tingwan and bowed his head and said: "You remembered something, didn't you?"
Jiang Tingwan covered his head and could not respond to him. Hua Shi watched them talking, but he was very anxious: "Why did you come here? Didn't they say that you can only enter but not leave..."
"It's okay." The voice came from Bai Heng who was behind. She flew forward with her sword and saw that Wen Zhong seemed to want to go down to check on Jiang Tingwan's condition. She calmly stretched out her hand to stop his waist to prevent him from falling. Then she looked at the damaged stone pillar behind Hua Shi and whispered, "Thanks to the group of black snakes, when we came here, we found that many of Huoyuan's restrictions had been lifted. Except for the center of the thickest blood mist, our actions here will not be affected in any way."
As she said this, her gaze fell on the distance, which was the center she mentioned.
Hua Shi also looked over there and murmured, "What's there?"
Bai Heng shook his head and said nothing, but now was not the time to waste time, so Wen Zhong reminded him at the right time: "What is the situation now?"
They had just arrived, and even though they had learned a lot from Fang Wei before, they still couldn't understand the situation immediately. Hua Shi quickly came back to his senses and told everyone what had just happened. He didn't have time to think about the purpose of the seniors at this time. After all, if the black snake was not stopped in time, the entire Xuanqing Continent would be in danger. After he finished explaining the situation, he took a deep breath and said to the seniors in front of him: "Is it too late now?"
"We're still in time." The person who spoke was Lu Yao. He was the one who spoke the least from beginning to end. Before anyone could look at him, he had already flown into the fog, leaving only his words floating in the air. "Let's split up to deal with the black snake. We should save as many of the remaining stone pillars as possible."
Before anyone could call out to him, he had already disappeared into the fog.
However, his decision was not wrong. The people who had encountered the adventure also took action one after another, each choosing a direction to go far away. Only Xuan Shuzhi remained standing where he was, staring at the place where the group of black snakes that had just been killed by Hua Shi were. There was the formation they had previously drawn with blood.
Yi Zhan didn't know why he was still in a daze at this time. He stepped forward and held Xuan Shuzhi's shoulders, and asked softly: "Azhi?"
Hua Shi was about to leave, but when he saw the strangeness of the two of them, he also stopped and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Xuan Shuzhi asked in confusion: "Why is this formation here?"
Hua Shi had felt that this formation was very familiar to him. When he heard Xuan Shuzhi's question, he immediately asked, "Master, what kind of formation is this?"
Without waiting for Xuan Shuzhi to answer, Yi Zhan followed and looked over, and he also saw the origin of the formation: "Isn't this the formation in Tianqing City Square? How come there is one here too?"
Hua Shi murmured, "Tianqing City?"
He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he looked at Xuan Shuzhi hesitantly and was about to speak, but at this time, Lu Yao's voice urging him came from afar. Now protecting the stone pillar and killing the black snake is the most important thing. There is no time to worry about other things for the time being. Xuan Shuzhi gathered his mind and shook his head and said, "Deal with the black snake first and save people first."
Hua Shi opened his mouth but didn't say much. Then he followed and rushed into the depths of the blood mist.
With the arrival of several elders, things naturally became much simpler. Everyone acted separately, and it didn't take long for them to deal with most of the black snakes. After dealing with all the black snakes, Hua Shi returned to the place where he had settled Jiang Tingwan before, only to find that Wen Zhong and Bai Heng had already returned there. They were standing beside Jiang Tingwan and whispering something to him. Jiang Tingwan lowered his eyes with a dazed look, and he didn't know if he understood what they said.
Hua Shi came closer and asked hurriedly, "How is Senior Jiang?"
Earlier, Jiang Tingwan seemed to have recovered a lot of consciousness, and Hua Shi thought that his condition might be much better than before. However, after walking over and seeing the expressions of Wen Zhong and the others, he suddenly realized that it didn't seem that simple.
Bai Heng looked up at Hua Shi who was approaching, shook his head and whispered, "It looks like he's not in a good condition. He still hasn't fully woken up."
Jiang Tingwan seemed to notice his gaze, tilted her head to look at him, and then blinked.
Hua Shi: “…”
Previously, Senior Jiang seemed to have gotten much better. He even took the initiative to bring him here, talked to him, and told him what to do. How come he has become like this now?
Hua Shi felt helpless. At this moment, someone came back from a distance, followed by Xuan Shuzhi, Yi Zhan, Lu Yao and others who came to them one after another.
"Is everything settled?" Xuan Shuzhi looked at everyone and asked.
Hua Shi nodded: "Yes."
The others also responded, and everyone had dealt with the black snakes in their area. According to everyone, about half of the stone pillars in the abyss were broken, and the remaining half were still standing well. It seemed that there was no danger of being destroyed for the time being.
In this case, Huoyuan's formation should still be able to play its role perfectly.
Seeing how nervous everyone was about this formation, Hua Shi was puzzled: "Since we want to rescue people, wouldn't it be easier to rescue people if we destroy the formation?"
Xuan Shuzhi shook his head and said, "We don't need to destroy the formation to save people. We only need to open a very narrow crack in the formation to allow the evil master to leave the abyss. That's enough. And this formation must exist so that we can suppress the evil beast in the deepest part of the abyss."
Hua Shi couldn't help feeling strange when he heard Xuan Shuzhi say so calmly that he wanted to rescue the evil master.
Everyone naturally saw what he was thinking. Yi Zhan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hua Shi shook his head in silence and looked at Xuan Shuzhi hesitantly. As Hua Shi's master, Xuan Shuzhi was naturally the one who was most qualified to speak. He whispered, "Now there is only one last thing left to do. We need you to enter the blood mist and insert the dagger into the stone pillar in the center."
As he spoke, he handed a seemingly simple and unremarkable dagger to Hua Shi: "Are you willing to go?"
This dagger is one of the reasons why Xuan Shuzhi and others are confident that they can rescue Fang Wei. This is the dagger that Fang Wei made in the Yunxiu Pen space when he was still with Hua Shi. There are countless delicate spells carved by him on it. These spells are written in the characters of the ancient tribe. As long as the power of the spells is used, it is not difficult to create a gap in the Huoyuan barrier that allows Fang Wei to pass through.
·
However, at this time, inside the underground cave of the Abyss, Fang Wei had already connected all the things together, and realized that the things he had left with Xuan Shuzhi were not a backup plan for him to escape from the Abyss, but variables that might cause the monster in the Abyss to get out of control.
Fang Wei looked up during the battle with the monster. He could tell from the subtle sounds and movements that the black snake should have been killed by Hua Shi, and it seemed that besides Hua Shi, there were other people who had also come here, but this did not mean that the matter was over.
Fang Wei frowned, hoping that Hua Shi would give up saving people and take everyone away immediately.
If the dagger really fell on the stone pillar, everything would be out of control.
