Monster Paradise

After hearing these words, Bai Gu was stunned, "What? The abyss opened again?!"

Lin Huang nodded with a serious expression, and projected the cracks in the wall that Bloody took before with the Emperor Heart Ring.

In the photo, hair-thin purple-black gaps covered half of the wall like vines, and wisps of black mist gushed out of the gaps like living tentacles, extending into the mid-air.

Seeing the photo, Bone's body trembled slightly, "It's really a crack in the abyss..."

"Senior has experienced this kind of thing once, is there any good way to curb the expansion of this crack in the early stage?" Lin Huang asked quickly.

"In fact, someone raised this at the beginning. If there is a real god who seals the crack within a year of the crack, it may be many years later when the crack reappears next time, because it is difficult for them to open up such a channel." Bone Speaking of this matter, he began to become a little optimistic, "Judging from the picture you took, the crack of yours has indeed just formed not long ago, just find a true god to seal it. It is estimated that it will take a few days before the crack appears next time." Ten years or even hundreds of years later."

"Uh, but there is no true god in our era..." Lin Huang was helpless.

"There is no real god?!" Bai Gu didn't expect this to happen, "That's really not possible, it's okay to find dozens of false gods to join forces, but I don't know if we can completely seal the crack."

"We only have one False God..." Lin Huang was even more helpless.

"There is only one False God?!" If the bones had eyeballs, they would probably be able to stare them out now. "How weak is your era?"

"On the surface, there seem to be only twenty or thirty demigods, and there are only about two thousand people in the imperial palace." Lin Huang reported this approximate number, "The real number should be a little more, but it is estimated that it will be more than this at most. A third more would be nice."

"I have forgotten that your era has only existed for more than 800 years, and it is not bad to be able to develop like this." Bai Gu also said helplessly, "If you can't seal the cracks, then there is no other way, you can only watch the cracks get bigger and bigger. It’s getting bigger and bigger, the same as we were back then. With just a few of you, it’s estimated that those monsters will come out of the cracks and be slaughtered in one day.”

Hearing the truth behind the bones, Lin Huang was a little dumbfounded.

"Is there really no other way?"

"Maybe there is, but we don't know. This is the only way we finally discussed that year." Bai Gu also said that he couldn't help.

Lin Huang fell silent again. There is no need for Baigu to lie about this kind of thing. According to what he said, the catastrophe five years later will almost [-]% lead to the end of the entire new era.

"Little friend Lin, I think that with your current combat power, there is no need to participate in the war after five years. Why don't you take advantage of these few years to find a way to cover the energy in your body, and then hide with us before the catastrophe strikes." He suggested enthusiastically.

"Thank you, senior." Lin Huang nodded with a smile. He knew that the bone had good intentions, but what he wanted more was a solution rather than an escape route.

"You don't have to think too much about this matter, let tall people worry about it. What you should think about now is how to improve your own strength and increase your chances of surviving the five-year catastrophe." Bone stretched out his hand and patted He patted Lin Huang on the shoulder, "You can stay with us temporarily for a few days, this Tower of Witch God will be beneficial to your cultivation, when you want to leave, you can leave at any time by saying hello. The thing about the abyss splitting is not a trivial matter, I want to inform other ethnic groups, so that everyone can take precautions in advance."

"Okay." Lin Huang also planned to stay here temporarily to find out more information about the ruins.

After Bai Gu stood up and left, the giant face of the stone tower quickly condensed into shape on the wall of the room.

"Lin Xiaoyou, the patriarch just ordered that you can enter and exit the Witch God Tower at will these few days. Let me explain to you the effect of the Witch God Tower. The Witch God Tower has nine floors in total. The first floor is the one where you are now. In the first layer, the concentration of free spirit particles in the air is twice that of the outside world, in the second layer it is four times, in the third layer it is eight times, and so on, until the ninth layer it is 510 times twice."

Lin Huang had heard from Mr. Fu before that Lingzi was a kind of energy floating in the air, which could be absorbed in various ways and transformed into life energy.Before the new era, no matter what the cultivation system was, in the final analysis it relied on absorbing spiritual particles and transforming them into their own energy.Like the Bingjue Jue, it is actually a method of absorbing spiritual seeds.

It's just that spirit particles are called quite differently in different cultivation systems. Some call them spiritual power, while others call them primordial power. In fact, they are all the same thing in the final analysis, a kind of energy particle floating in the air. .

"Can I go to other levels of the Witch God Tower?" Lin Huang knew that the higher he went, the better it would be for his practice of the Art of War, so he asked immediately.

"Yes, but I can't control the opening of each floor of the Witch God Tower, you have to pass through it yourself." The stone tower smiled, "Each floor of the Witch God Tower has a stone tablet, as long as you complete the comprehension of the stone tablet, You can gain access to the next level. If you can comprehend from the first level to the eighth level, you can gain the right to freely enter and exit the ninth level."

"Is there a stele on the ninth floor?" Lin Huang asked again.

"some."

"Then if I comprehend the ninth floor stele, what will I get?" After all, the Witch God Tower only has nine floors, so Lin Huang guessed that there might be some benefits after the ninth floor is successfully comprehended.

"If someone can comprehend the ninth-floor stele, the Temple of the Witch God will be activated. As long as they pass the test of the Temple of the Witch God, they can directly obtain the inheritance of the Lord Witch God." , he did not believe that Lin Huang could do this.

"True God Inheritance?!" Lin Huang couldn't help but feel a little moved. He knew that the Witch God that the giant face said was a genuine true god.

"Even if you can't pass the test of the Witch God's Temple to get the inheritance, as long as you can activate the Witch God's Temple, you will definitely be rewarded by the Witch God. It is not impossible to get the magic tool and the blood of the Witch God." The giant face added with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Huang's eyes lit up, "Where is the stele?!"

"The stele on the first floor is in the courtyard in the center of the pagoda."

Chapter 696 Stone Tablet Test

The courtyard in the center of the stone pagoda is full of green grass. Lin Huang passed by when he followed the bone into the room just now. He did see a stone tablet, but he thought it was just an ornament and didn't pay much attention to it.

Back in the yard again, he stood in front of the stele and observed carefully.

The stele is gray and black as a whole, and there are no words on it. There are only strangely shaped golden lines. These lines seem to have built a complex maze as a whole.

While Lin Huang was staring at the stele, his mind suddenly went into a trance, and the next second he came back to his senses, he found himself in a maze surrounded by high gray stone walls.As for Lin Huang himself, he was at a crossroads, and for a moment he wondered what happened.

At this time, a female voice came from the sky.

"The rules for breaking through the level are as follows: every time the level breaker enters the location, he will be randomly teleported. As long as he finds any exit of the maze within 3 minutes, it will be considered a successful level break. In the maze, the level breaker cannot fly, cannot use space teleportation abilities, and cannot use detection capabilities."

"Please get ready as soon as possible, the 3-minute checkpoint timer will start soon!"

After the female voice fell, countdown numbers suddenly appeared in the sky, and the numbers were beating rapidly.

"10, 9, 8... 2, 1"

After the number jumped to 1, several large characters jumped out of the air.

"Breakthrough begins!"

Lin Huang was stunned for a moment. He could clearly feel that his domain had become silent and lost his sense of the outside world.Looking around the four passages, he didn't usually have difficulty choosing, so he didn't know how to choose for a while.

There is only a short 3 minutes, choose any path, once you make a mistake, there will be no chance to start again.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and four Nian Neng flying knives sprang out of his body. Under the control of Nian Neng, the four Nian Neng flying knives flew towards four different passages.

As soon as the four flying knives with mind energy hit the wall, Lin Huang used mind energy to control the direction of the flying knives, and summoned more flying knives to fly along the newly detected forks at a high speed.

In less than a minute, Lin Huang finally summoned hundreds of throwing knives before he found the exit.

After finding the exit, Lin Huang immediately retracted the other Instinct Throwing Knives, and ran away along the flight path of the exiting flying knife.

Finally, when the timer showed two minutes and eight seconds, the figure jumped out of the exit of the maze.

As soon as he rushed out of the exit of the maze, a white glow lit up in front of Lin Huang's eyes. The next second he came to his senses, he had returned to the stone tablet on the first floor of the Witch God Tower.

"Xiao Hei, did I leave this space just now?" Upon returning, Lin Huang immediately asked Xiao Hei.

[No, your consciousness was just taken away by this stele for about 2 minutes.I guess it should be the test on the stele, so there is no interference. 】

Lin Huang looked at the stele suddenly with a different look. The method of the true god is really a bit scary, and he was able to let himself be tricked without making a sound.

"I didn't expect you to be able to break through successfully." The huge face of the stone tower suddenly appeared again, with a slightly surprised tone.

"It's not bad luck." Lin Huang smiled, and then asked, "Senior, I have successfully passed the level, what should I do now to get to the second floor?"

"That's simple. Have you seen the red dot that appeared on the stele?"

Lin Huang saw that there was indeed a red light spot on the stele, which was not there before.

"The red dot is the starting point where you were randomly teleported in the maze just now. You already know where the exit of the maze is. What you need to do now is to input the energy in your body into the stone tablet, and control the red dot to walk along the maze you were in before. Follow the route you passed until the red dot escapes the maze."

"However, here are two points I must remind you. First, your energy control must be precise enough not to touch the lines on the stele, even if these lines are less than 1 millimeter away from the red dot. As long as you touch it, you The previous pass through the level will be invalid, and you must enter the stone tablet with consciousness to pass through the level again. Second, the speed of controlling the red dot must be fast enough. When you pass through the level with consciousness before, it takes a few minutes to pass, so you must pass within the same time. If you do If it doesn’t reach this point, the previous checkpoints will be invalidated, and you need to start from the beginning and enter the stone tablet assessment with consciousness.”

"So each level of assessment is actually twice, one is on the level of consciousness, and the other is on the real world." Lin Huang understood, "This second assessment should be about the precise use of energy."

The giant face of the stone tower smiled without saying a word.

Lin Huang looked at the stele again with a solemn expression. This second assessment was no less difficult than finding the exit of the maze before. The precise operation of life energy was too demanding, and it was all accurate to below a millimeter.

While feeling the challenge, Lin Huang was also a little eager to try, and he also wanted to know how far he could do it.

Pressing his palm on the blank space on the side of the stone tablet, after the life energy was input into the stone tablet, the originally dark red light spot began to turn bright red. He did not input too much life energy, and the light spot showed a saturated state. More life can be input.At this time, a 3-minute countdown also popped up in the blank area above the stele.

"03:00"

The number quickly started to jump.

"02:59, 02:58..."

Lin Huang only glanced at the countdown, then turned his attention back to the red dot in front of him, and began to urge the red dot to move forward.

He was not in a hurry, but slowly urged the red dot to move a little bit carefully, familiar with this feeling.

A minute passed quickly, and Lin Huang only walked one-fifth of the distance while controlling the red dot. However, his speed also began to increase slowly.

With 1 minute left in the countdown, the red dot was only halfway through.

After Lin Huang glanced at the countdown from the beginning, he never looked at the time again. He focused all his attention on the movement of the red dot.

As he became more and more familiar with the control of the red dot, the moving speed of the red dot became faster and faster, and the time left for the countdown became less and less.

When the countdown entered the last ten seconds, the red light spot was still some distance away from the exit, and there were still a few corners in the middle.

"Only ten seconds left!" The giant face of the stone tower couldn't help reminding Lin Huang. He didn't expect Lin Huang to operate the red light spot for the first time, and it turned out to be zero mistakes.Seeing that the time was about to end, he also had some expectation that Lin Huang could pass the test once.

Lin Huang naturally heard the reminder from the giant face of the stone tower. He suddenly controlled the red light spot to accelerate at a corner, brushing the golden line at a distance almost invisible to the naked eye, but he just missed it.Then the next second and third turns are the same magic operation, it's like drifting in a sharp turn.After going through three turns in a row, Lin Huang rushed out of the maze exit under the control of the red light point with three seconds left in the countdown.

Lin Huang let out a long breath, and then withdrew his palm that was pressing on the stele.

At this moment, the golden lines on the stele began to fade quickly and automatically, and the red light spot controlled by Lin Huang just now turned into three lines that spread over the stele, forming three uniquely shaped routes.Those three routes were as conspicuous as if they were drawn by magma on the stele. They appeared on the stele for about ten seconds, then suddenly retracted into a spot of light, then broke away from the stele, and shot directly into the center of Lin Huang's eyebrows.

Almost the second after the light spot shot into the center of the eyebrows, Lin Huang realized instantly, "This is a set of exercises, and there is only the first layer!"

Chapter 697 Witchcraft Runes

After briefly reviewing this set of exercises in his mind, Lin Huang discovered that this set of exercises is actually a set of secret techniques of witchcraft runes.

This set of secret techniques only has the first layer, which is a set of basic witchcraft rune production methods.

Lin Huang's route out of the maze and the lines drawn on the stele just now are actually just one of the lines in this set of basic runes.

And Lin Huang also knew that the maze just now had three exits through the pattern of the first witchcraft rune in this set of secret techniques, and he only found one of them.

"There are one hundred and eight basic rune lines alone, and the combination of various lines will show completely different witchcraft effects. This kind of thing can completely blow people's heads when they practice." Lin Huang thought Thinking about my own experience when I was learning English on earth, the different combinations of 26 English letters are enough to toss people, and 108 complex rune lines, thinking about it, I think it can kill people.

According to this set of secret techniques, witchcraft runes can not only be engraved on non-living bodies such as energy spar, weapons and armor, but also on human souls.In fact, this is how the wizards of the Middle Ages practiced.

Lin Huang didn't dare to act recklessly, and engraved witchcraft runes on the soul of fate. If he made a mistake with a trembling of his hand, the soul of life might explode. Besides, he didn't plan to turn into a wizard.

After simply looking at this set of secret techniques, Lin Huang came back to his senses, and looked at the giant face of the stone tower not far away again, "Senior, you can always say how to get to the second floor of the stone tower now, right?" ?”

"You have passed the test, just press your palm on the stone tablet. As long as you think about going to the second floor, the stone tablet will send you to the second floor. If you want to go to a higher level, or It’s the same if you want to go downstairs, just think about the level you want to go to. Of course, the prerequisite for successful teleportation is that you have passed the relevant level, otherwise it will be useless.” The giant face of the stone tower explained.

Only then did Lin Huang press his hand on the stele. On the gray-black stele that was empty at this time, after Lin Huang pressed his palm on it, the surface of the stele suddenly began to soften automatically, and Lin Huang's palm seemed to be sunken into a layer. The ooze left a fingerprint on the surface of the stele.

Just when Lin Huang was feeling surprised, his eyes flashed suddenly, and when he looked up, the environment around him was completely different from before.

"Is this the second floor?" Lin Huang looked around, and the original garden had turned into a wide hall.

The stone tablet is still in front of him, but it has returned to its original normal appearance. There are still golden lines all over it, but it is completely different from the lines on the first floor before.

The stele didn't have the softened feeling just now, and Lin Huang didn't even see his handprint.He lowered his head and looked at his palm, and there was no trace of gray or black stains left on it.

"Go on, I'm really looking forward to seeing how far you can go." At this moment, a giant face slowly formed on the ceiling above Lin Huang's head.

Lin Huang looked up at the giant face, then withdrew his gaze, and refocused his attention on the stone tablet in front of him.

After staring at the lines on the stele for a while, his consciousness was drawn away again and entered the maze.

Just after entering the maze, the female voice in the sky came again.

"If you find any exit of the maze within 5 minutes, you will be considered successful in passing the level. The rules for breaking through the level are the same as those on the first floor."

As soon as the female voice fell, the countdown figures appeared in the sky again.

Lin Huang glanced around, and there were four passages that looked almost exactly the same as before. He summoned four Nianneng flying knives again, and controlled the Nianneng flying knives to shoot out according to the original method.

This time the maze was much more difficult. Lin Huang used more than 300 telekinetic throwing knives, and it took nearly 3 minutes to find the exit.It took almost four and a half minutes to step out from the exit.

After his consciousness returned to his body, Lin Huang did not immediately try to activate the red light spot on the stele, but stood on the spot and closed his eyes carefully recalling the running route of the throwing knife.

After a long time, he opened his eyes again, pressed his hand on the edge of the stele, and urged his life energy into the red spot of light.

After the red light spot was completely lit up, a 5-minute countdown appeared in the blank space above the stele.

Lin Huang didn't even look at the countdown timer, he was completely focused on the red light spot, and started to move the light spot.

As time passed by, Lin Huang's strategy was still to start cautiously, and when he slowly found the feeling, he began to speed up.

This time it went very smoothly. In less than 4 minutes, he controlled the red light point and walked through the maze.

The spot of light soon sank into the center of Lin Huang's eyebrows again, turning into the second layer of witchcraft runes and secrets.

This time the rune lines were more than twice as complicated as before, but there were only 36 of them.The previous 36 lines were just basic rune lines. These [-] lines are advanced version of rune lines, and the matching rune patterns are more complicated than before.

Lin Huang flipped through it roughly, and felt more and more that it was not easy for wizards to practice in the Middle Ages.

"I guess it shouldn't be difficult for you to pass the second level, but I didn't expect you to pass it once." Seeing that Lin Huang had passed the level, the giant face of the stone tower made another sound.

"I didn't expect that either." Lin Huang smiled. In fact, he didn't pay attention to whether he could pass the level, but regarded this level as a game, and it was enough to play as hard as he could.

"The third floor, let's go!" With Lin Huang's low shout, he pressed his palm on the stone tablet again.
