Chapter 978 The Third Level
Suddenly, a violent collision of soul powers was heard in the distance. The three of them exchanged glances and immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.
Passing through a twisted forest of dead trees, the scene before them made them stop suddenly—
Xie Shiyuan was being besieged by five Black Ze Pythons. The wings of Feng Wuhen's contracted beast were stained with blood, but he still tightly protected the unconscious Xuan Mu.
Under their feet was an altar made of bones. Three blood-red tokens were glowing faintly in the seven grooves, but they did not trigger the entrance to the third level.
"Ten Mandarin Ducks!" Luo Li leaped into the battlefield, and the sword light like a rainbow cut off the head of a black python.
The Heize Python turned its neck strangely, and countless red threads stretched out from the broken end to reconnect its head.
Upon seeing this, Wen Xingyan immediately formed seals, and the power of frost instantly froze the wounds of the Heize Python, and the red threads broke into pieces in the ice crystals.
He said in a deep voice: "The wound will regenerate, it must be completely burned!"
Xie Shiyuan retreated to Luo Li's side, panting heavily. A deep wound visible to the bone pierced her right arm, but she still held the whip tightly. "These Black Ze pythons suddenly emerged from under the altar... Xuan Mu was scratched by his fangs while trying to protect me, and he's in a very bad condition now!"
Luo Li frowned and made a quick decision, "Get out of the way!"
Everyone was a little puzzled as they saw Luo Li flying into the air, clasping her hands together, and chaotic soul fire surging out of her body crazily.
“Oh my god…” Shen Fuzhou’s eyes reflected that figure, “So damn strong!”
"Stop sighing!" Wen Xingyan dragged two people with one hand, "Get out of the way!"
Luo Li stood in mid-air, her clothes fluttering, and the chaotic soul fire burning around her illuminated the entire dead woods like purgatory.
She closed her eyes slightly, pressed her hands together, and whispered, "Burn."
In an instant, the world was silent.
The five black pythons suddenly stiffened, and fear was reflected in their scarlet vertical pupils.
The dark green poisonous mist had not yet been ejected from their open bloody mouths before it was swallowed up by the black and red flames that burst out of their bodies.
Those strange red threads twisted wildly in the fire, making a shrill scream.
The blood patterns on the bone altar suddenly flashed violently, and the three tokens shattered under the weight.
Feng Wuhen's contracted beast let out a long cry and retreated rapidly with Xuan Mu.
Wen Xingyan's ice wall had just solidified when it collapsed due to the impact of the heat wave.
“Back off!” Xie Shiyuan’s whip wrapped around Shen Fuzhou’s waist, and the two of them barely avoided the pillar of fire that erupted from the crack in the altar.
The entire bone altar began to melt in the high temperature, and the bones that had been piled up for who knows how many years made a creepy crisp sound.
The scales of the Heize Python peeled off inch by inch, revealing the beating flesh and blood underneath, which was burned to charcoal in an instant.
They twisted their bodies and tried to drill back into the ground, but the chaotic soul fire had already penetrated into their bodies through the seven orifices.
The largest Black Lake Python suddenly stood up, its abdomen bulging strangely.
"Self-destruct!" Before Wen Xingyan finished speaking, Luo Li clenched her right hand suddenly.
The fireball formed by the chaotic soul fire exploded out, and the five python corpses exploded into a rain of fire in the sky at the same time, but were burned to ashes on the way down.
A drop of dark green venom splashed onto Luo Li's sleeve, and was unexpectedly rewound by the chaotic soul fire and refined into a crystal bead.
When the last flame died out, the dead forest had turned into scorched earth.
Wherever the wind blows, grayish-white ashes flutter to the ground.
Luo Li landed lightly on the ground, and a white jade hairpin in her hair suddenly cracked and broke into two pieces with a "snap".
She casually put her hair up and took out a few pills and handed them to Feng Wuhen and the other two.
Xie Shiyuan took the pill and felt much better after taking it.
Feng Wuhen was only slightly injured. He whispered, "It seems this year's Ninth Level Trial is really aimed at our lives."
Feng Wuhen's contracted beast transformed into a human form, a silver-haired boy.
He took the pill and fed it to the unconscious Xuan Mu, then looked towards the altar warily: "There's something strange about this altar."
“It seems to be the entrance to the third level…” Shen Fuzhou pointed at the ruins of the altar.
Although the tokens in the three grooves were destroyed, the remaining blood patterns formed a rotating vortex.
Xie Shiyuan frowned slightly, "But our clearance token has been destroyed."
Luo Li curled her lips and took out a few tokens to give to them, "Take them, let's go to the third level."
Xie Shiyuan glared slightly, "Why are there so many?"
Shen Fuzhou blinked, "To be honest, if you go out, you should see tokens everywhere. These two have been killing like crazy along the way."
Luo Li's lips twitched as she squatted down to check on Xuan Mu's condition. "The poison has been resolved. He should wake up soon."
After a moment, Xuan Mu held his head and sat up from the ground, "This..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Fuzhou and Wen Xingyan stood up, “It seems that everything is fine, let’s go!”
Luo Li and Feng Wuhen looked at each other and followed helplessly.
Everyone embedded the pass token into the altar. This time there was no strange energy fluctuation and the teleportation array lit up smoothly.
Seeing this scene, the people from various forces who were working hard in the second level gritted their teeth:
"Who is it! Why so fast?!"
"Forget it, at least the good news is that we have the location of the teleportation array."
…
The Netherworld, the third level.
Luo Li and the others' eyes blurred, and when they opened them again, they were hit by the dazzling white of snow and the biting cold.
Luo Li subconsciously narrowed her eyes, and tiny ice crystals instantly condensed on her eyelashes.
This is an endless snowfield, with strong winds blowing heavy snow past, and visibility is less than three meters.
What's even more strange is that the snow on the ground is not white, but a kind of ice crystal with a faint blue light, which makes a crisp crackling sound when stepped on.
"The third level of the Netherworld... the extremely cold snowfield?" Wen Xingyan frowned, the white air he exhaled condensing into ice particles in the air and falling. "According to the records I found, this place should be..."
Before he could finish his words, the snow under his feet suddenly collapsed!
"spread!"
The six people jumped to different directions in an instant.
As Luo Li was in the air, she caught a glimpse of the bottom of the snow pit, which was covered with barbed ice cones. If she fell in, she would definitely be pierced like a sieve.
Because his strength had not yet recovered, Shen Fuzhou hugged Feng Wuhen's arm tightly and said with lingering fear: "There was absolutely no sign..."
Luo Li frowned, "Everyone be careful, don't stay too far away, gather together."
"good!"
Before Luo Li finished speaking, there was a slight vibration from the snow beneath her feet.
Her pupils suddenly shrank, and she instinctively grabbed Wen Xingyan beside her and quickly retreated.
"There's something under the snow!"
Almost at the same time, a blue light broke out from the snow and brushed past the corner of Luo Li's clothes.
It was a crystal-clear ice snake, about five or six meters thick, with three ice-like eyes on its head.
"Ice Soul Snake!" Feng Wuhen shouted sharply, his long sword already unsheathed. "This creature isn't a demon beast from the Great Wilderness period. Shouldn't it have been extinct long ago?"
