Chapter 393 Retaliation
"enough!"
Mr. Jian scolded and interrupted the two of them, "Since you are all prepared, I will not say anything more. I hope that the preparations you have made can really save your own lives."
"The fog of resentment is as deep as nine miles. Every hour, it will become thinner for three minutes and its power will weaken."
"Only during these three thin minutes, we can enter."
"Time is limited. If you can't pass through the resentful fog within these three minutes, you will be trapped inside."
"Once trapped, you will definitely die!"
"I will enter first, and I hope you can all follow."
"Whoever moves slowly, misses the best time, and is trapped in the mist of resentment, don't blame me for giving up."
After finishing speaking, they swept over Xiao Mu and the others one by one.
"Mr. Jian, don't worry, I will be able to keep up."
"I will never fall behind."
"Since I know that the resentment fog is dangerous, how can I be careless?"
Everyone expressed their opinions and made guarantees, saying that they would not hold back.
Guiyan, Niu Mang, and Hebei looked at Xiao Mu with unkind eyes.
Xiao Mu was vigilant in his heart, but he remained calm on the outside.
Mr. Jian looked serious, "The fog of resentment is only the first level. Relatively speaking, the fog of resentment is the safest of all levels."
"After the mist of resentment, there are three levels: Ghost Mire, Evil Spirit Swamp, and Life and Death. These three levels are full of evil spirits. Each level is more dangerous than the last level, and each level is more difficult than the last level. People may die at any time."
"Our mission on this trip is to explore the temple of the original king, not to pacify the temple of the original king. No one along the way is allowed to actively attack the evil spirits."
"Anyone who disobeys orders and attracts a large-scale counterattack by the evil spirits, resulting in the inability to complete the task, don't blame me for killing him on the spot."
Mr. Jian spoke solemnly, while Gui Yan and the others looked as if nothing had happened.
The purpose of their trip was to kill Xiao Mu. As for whether the task could be completed, it was not within the scope of their consideration.
Mr. Jian was angry in his heart, but he didn't attack it.
Xiao Mu was silent, silently calculating something.
But I heard Mr. Jian say again: "After the phase of life and death, it is the main hall of the temple."
"The main hall is also the most dangerous place. Not only the appearance of the original king, but also the item needed for this mission—the wishful furnace."
"Ruyi Furnace is an incense burner that enshrines the appearance of the original king."
"Our task is to get the Wishfull Furnace and escape from the Yuanwang Temple."
"The original king is very strong, especially in his own temple. Due to the blessing of the power of evil spirits, his strength is even stronger than ordinary mutants in the fifth realm."
"Fortunately, in this mission, there is a god-catching net bestowed by the higher-ups, which can trap the original king for fifteen minutes."
"These fifteen minutes are the time for me to get the Ruyi stove and escape from the Yuanwang Temple."
"How to escape from the temple of the original king in these fifteen minutes is the key. I will calculate the time when the fog of resentment will thin, and try to put the next three minutes when the fog of resentment thins into a place that traps the god of the original king. In the last three minutes of fifteen minutes."
"So, if anyone can't come out within fifteen minutes, don't think about it anymore."
"Now, let's take a rest. Wait for the fog of resentment to open, and start to act."
After speaking, Mr. Jian sat down first, meditated and rested.
Xiao Mu did not sit down, but let out the dragon chariot, stood on the chariot and closed his eyes to rest.
"hey-hey!"
Seeing the dragon chariot under Xiao Mu's feet, Gui Yan, He Bei, and Niu Mang all showed greed on their faces, and sneered at Xiao Mu.
"What a treasure, as expected of an instrument repairer, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to have such a treasure in his hands!"
Chi Xiaozi walked to Xiao Mu's side, staring at the dragon chariot, tsk-tsk admiringly.
"You're welcome, but it's just an ordinary treasure."
Xiao Mu was vigilant in his heart, but humble in his mouth.
Chi Xiaozi shook his head in admiration, "If even this type of treasure is considered an ordinary treasure, then the level of this ordinary treasure is too high."
"However, Mr. Xiao is an instrument repairer, and his vision for treasures is higher than those of us. In our eyes, the top treasures are probably ordinary treasures in Mr. Xiao's eyes."
"The Daoist Chi Xiaozi is too famous. In my hands, this chariot is also a top treasure."
Xiao Mu was humble again.
"Mr. Xiao is too modest."
Chi Xiaozi chuckled, and said enthusiastically, "I'm not fast on my journey. Since Mr. Xiao has such a treasure, would you like to give me a ride?"
"this……"
Xiao Mu pondered.
Because of Mr. Jian's reminder, he always felt that Chi Xiaozi had malicious intentions, and when he heard the other party's request, his first reaction was to refuse.
It's just that when the words were on the verge of speaking, he suddenly realized something, and smiled, "Why not? It would be great if Mr. Chi Xiaozi was willing to go with one more person."
Chi Xiaozi was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao! After the task is completed, there will be rewards."
Xiao Mu said casually, "You're welcome!"
Mr. Jian suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Xiao Mu, but closed them immediately, without saying anything.
Guiyan, Hebei, and Niu Mang looked strange, with indifferent smiles on their faces, and soon sat down to rest and recover.
Half an hour later, Mr. Jian suddenly stood up, "The fog of resentment is about to thin, I will be the first to enter, you'd better follow."
As soon as the words fell, the fog of resentment in front seemed to be blown by the wind, and suddenly became much thinner.
"Enter!"
Mr. Jian greeted, and suddenly a small golden inch-long sword with a sacred aura appeared above his head.
As soon as the small sword was released, golden light overflowed, and the thinning mist of resentment was driven away on the spot.
Mr. Jian held the small sword and walked straight into the mist.
"hehe!"
Gui Yan laughed out loud and took out a black umbrella.
The black umbrella opened, and the umbrella released black light.
Hebei and Niu Mang quickly gathered towards him, and the three of them worked together to input energy into the black umbrella.
More black light shot out, driving away the fog of resentment, and the three of them quickly chased after Mr. Jian.
"Mr. Rawshaw."
Chi Xiaozi jumped onto Xiao Mu's dragon chariot.
"Mr. Chi Xiaozi, my ability is limited. I can give you a ride, but I can't help you resist the resentment fog. I'm afraid you still have to rely on yourself to resist the resentment fog."
Xiao Mu casually played a divine armor talisman.
The Divine Armor Talisman came out, and the phantom of the God-man appeared, sitting cross-legged on top of Xiao Mu, pressing down with both hands, releasing a golden and transparent protective shield like an egg shell, protecting Xiao Mu in it.
"Don't dare to have Mr. Lao Xiao, I have my own means of protection."
Chi Xiaozi took out a piece of green gauze, and with a flick of his hand, the green gauze became bigger and draped over his body, blocking out the mist of resentment.
Xiao Mu's heart skipped a beat.
This green yarn has a miraculous effect of warding off evil spirits, and its power is not weak. It is not like an item that ordinary mutants in the middle stage of the fourth realm can take out.
Secretly vigilant.
He stretched out his hand and pointed, a faint golden light passed through his finger, submerged into the dragon chariot, and hid under Chi Xiaozi's feet.
"Mr Chi Xiaozi, please stand still!"
Xiao Mu greeted, and a stream of Daoist aura entered the dragon chariot from the bottom of his feet, and chased after Mr. Jian and others.
The fire dragon car was very fast, but Xiao Mu deliberately concealed it, and did not push the speed to the extreme. After catching up with Mr. Jian and others, he followed slowly behind.
The task has not been completed yet, so it is not very likely that Guiyan and others will attack him.
Even so, Xiao Mu still took precautions.
After marching with all their strength, within two minutes, everyone walked out of the fog of resentment.
At the end of the fog of resentment is a huge, lonely and dark quagmire.
Everyone slowed down and walked slowly. This avoids disturbing the evil spirits.
Woohoo!
quack!
Inside the quagmire, various strange sounds continued to be heard, including crying and screaming.
Some black ghosts even poked their heads out from under the mud, revealing only a bleeding head from seven orifices, looking at Xiao Mu and the others.
Some ghosts flew out of the mud and rushed towards Xiao Mu and the others.
But everyone kept in mind Mr. Jian's instructions, and no one dared to take the initiative to attack the ghost, but urged the treasure in their hands to isolate the ghost.
Ten minutes later, everyone passed through the ghost mud and entered a strange swamp.
Compared with the Mire of Ghosts, the sky in the swamp is darker, and the air is filled with infinite Yin, which is bitingly cold.
A black-purple river is calm on the surface, but there is a turbulent undercurrent hidden below, and skeletons are looming.
The arm of the undead, without the slightest flesh and blood, stretched out from below the river, emitting a stench, and grabbed Xiao Mu and the others, trying to delay their footsteps.
Still not making any attacks, using treasures to isolate the arm of the undead, everyone quickly passed through the swamp of evil spirits.
After the swamp of evil spirits, there is the aspect of life and death.
This is a hall.
In the middle of the hall is a huge head.
The head's eyes opened, releasing two beams of light, life and death, interweaving and sweeping towards the crowd.
Under the guidance of Mr. Jian, everyone escaped the light of death without any risk, and passed the phase of life and death along the light of life.
After the phase of life and death, it is the temple hall, the end point of this mission.
In fact, as soon as they stepped into the periphery of the hall, before entering the hall, everyone felt an extremely cold breath coming out of the hall, as if they could freeze people to death in the blink of an eye.
The hall looked extremely dark, as if absorbing light, without any light, like the gate of hell.
In the main hall, there was a strange laughter, which was creepy.
"Remember, we only have fifteen minutes!"
Mr. Jian's face was solemn, and while instructing everyone, he reached out and took out a gauze net.
The gauze was in a ball in his hand.
Mr. Jian held the gauze net in his hand and threw it into the hall.
The gauze released black light, unfolded immediately, became huge, and covered a certain direction in the middle of the hall.
"Who? Who dares to attack the king?"
A gloomy and endlessly angry voice came from the hall, as if an ancient creature had been awakened.
"quick!"
Mr. Jian greeted, and everyone rushed in at the same time.
Xiao Mu finally saw the hall clearly.
The main hall is very empty, and on a huge altar in the middle is a giant sitting god.
At this time, the seated god was covered by a black gauze, grasping the gauze with both hands and tearing it vigorously, the anger turned into a cold and dark fire, burning violently.
"You, it's you, dare to plot against this king. When this king is free, you will be skinned and cramped, and your corpses will be shredded into thousands of pieces!"
The god sat and yelled at the crowd, his hands turned into sharp claws, a terrifying breath was released, and black energy circled around his fingertips, like a sharp sword cutting a gauze.
The gauze net released a faint light, which temporarily resisted the tearing of the sitting posture of the gods.
Without saying a word, Mr. Jian rushed towards the simple and wooden incense burner in front of the seated god.
Xiao Mu drove the dragon chariot and rushed to the corner of the hall immediately.
A mass of silver-white grass grew in the darkness, but it emitted a faint silver-white light, breaking through the black light in the hall, like a piece of pure land in hell.
Zhengyang spirit grass!
Xiao Mu bent down and reached out to pull it out.
A dangerous breath suddenly came from behind, and the evil coldness spread, and frost condensed on Xiao Mu's back in an instant.
"Ghost servant!"
It was too late to turn around, Xiao Mu let out angrily, with an extremely cold expression on his face.
"Ah~"
Painful howls sounded from behind Xiao Mu, Chi Xiaozi's legs were cut off at the same time, and he fell off the dragon chariot.
In his right hand, he held a black three-inch long spike.
There are grimaces carved on the spikes, and these grimaces can move, open their mouths one by one, and make strange smiles, which looks extremely weird.
The ghost servant appeared, with half of his body exposed from the fire dragon chariot, holding the soul knife in his hand, blood was still dripping from the soul knife.
"Xiao Mu, how did you know I was going to kill you?"
Chi Xiaozi who lost his legs screamed, full of unwillingness.
"idiot!"
Xiao Mu sneered, "I knew it from the time you deliberately approached me. How can there be a weird cold air on a Daoist cultivator?"
"Although you are wearing Taoist robes and deliberately concealing your aura, you still accidentally exposed your feet."
"How can it be!"
Chi Xiaozi couldn't believe it, he screamed with all his strength, hysterical.
"Nothing is impossible, go to hell!"
Xiao Mu's expression was cold, and he gave orders to the ghost servant ruthlessly.
"Ho Ho!"
The ghost servant gave a strange laugh, swung his knife and slashed at Chi Xiaozi again.
The soul knife turned into a rainbow, blooming brilliantly.
"This is a ghost servant! At the late stage of the fourth realm! You have trained additional ghost servants, no, this is impossible, how can ordinary mutants have so many resources, not only themselves, but even the strength of ghost servants has reached I have reached the fourth realm, I am unwilling, I am unwilling!"
Chi Xiaozi screamed in despair, full of unwillingness, but was beheaded by the ghost servant with a knife, and his body was severed in two places.
"Xiao Mu, how dare you!"
"stop!"
Seeing that Chi Xiaozi was killed, Gui Yan and the others roared and rushed over, trying to rescue Chi Xiaozi.
They had just moved when Chi Xiaozi was beheaded by the ghost servant.
The rescue was too late, Gui Yan and the others quickly stopped.
Among them, He Bei immediately looked at Mr. Jian, "Mr. Jian, Xiao Mu attacked his own people and killed Chi Xiaozi!"
The villain filed a complaint first, and wanted to use a knife to kill someone, so he used Mr. Jian's hand to get rid of Xiao Mu.
At this time, Mr. Jian just got the Ruyi incense burner and returned from the altar.
"hey-hey!"
Mr. Jian sneered, "Do you think I'm blind? Chi Xiaozi plotted against Xiao Mu and was killed, thinking he didn't see it?"
Hebei froze, he didn't expect that Mr. Jian would expose him on the spot and show no mercy.
"Mr. Jian, there is a personal grievance between us and Xiao Mu, and one of them must die. I hope you will not help each other."
Guiyan turned his head to look at Mr. Jian.
"I got the wishful furnace, I'm going to evacuate. If you want to fight, you can do it yourself! Remember, you only have fifteen minutes to evacuate."
Mr. Jian seemed to have no intention of intervening, and picked up the Ruyi incense burner.
"Fifteen minutes, enough!"
Gui Yan rarely showed a smile on his stiff face, "As long as Mr. Jian doesn't help each other, we will definitely give you a big gift when we go back."
"Boom!"
Niu Mang slammed the psychic fork on the ground, making a loud noise like shaking mountains, staring at Xiao Mu with hatred, "Xiao Mu, today is your death day!"
"Yeah?"
Xiao Mu's expression was calm, and he stood shoulder to shoulder with the ghost servant without any fear, "It's just the three of you who want to kill me, I'm afraid it's a little bit close."
