Chapter 448 Snatching Food From the Tiger’s Mouth
However, both of them were masters of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and they were elites among the disciples of various sects. They had many methods, and they had several big explosions in a row, killing several blood bats with relatively strong strength, thus relieving themselves of a lot of pressure.
After that, the two of them stood back to back, each of them used their own methods to kill all around, and almost exhausted all their methods, and finally killed all the blood bats around. At this time, the two were exhausted and wanted to collapse on the ground. Fortunately, the blood bats were all killed, and they could breathe a sigh of relief.
Who knew that joy would bring sorrow? Before they could react, two blood bats of the perfect Qi Refining level suddenly appeared in the distance. The group of low-level blood bats just now almost drove people crazy, and now there are two more powerful ones. Isn't this going to kill them?
The two wanted to turn around and run away, but they didn't dare, because they knew very well that if they couldn't do this, they would be punished by Master Lingxu. In addition, because they were in an illusion, all this was beyond their control, and it was useless to run away.
The illusion trapped the cultivator's soul and divine thoughts. Once the cultivator was killed in the illusion, the soul would collapse because it could not bear the pressure. Without the soul, the cultivator was just a shell, which was not much different from being dead. They had to fight.
Seeing the two perfect Qi-refining blood bats rushing over, Jiao Hong and Na Xiqiu forced themselves to gather their remaining Qi and rushed forward. The perfect Qi-refining blood bats were amazingly powerful. When their speed was at its maximum, even Jiao Hong and Xiqiu could not catch them. The pressure on them could be imagined. In a blink of an eye, they were covered with wounds.
After another fierce battle, the two finally killed the two perfect Qi-refining blood bats, but they were almost at the end of their rope.
With incomplete limbs, disfigured faces, and torn open bodies, they were extremely miserable. With such serious injuries, if they were outside, they would have died long ago. It was because they knew they were in an illusion and only their minds were injured. As long as they could get out alive and their bodies were not damaged, they could barely hold on.
Watching the two blood bats gradually die, Jiao Hong and Xi Qiu didn't even have the strength to move a finger. They just smiled miserably at each other and waited for the illusion to disappear.
Qingyang didn't know what happened in the illusion, but from the constantly changing expressions of the two people, he could tell how cruel the fierce battle they had experienced was.
At this time, the portrait of a huge blood bat on the wall cracked with a click, and Qingyang immediately realized that the illusion had been broken. When would he take action if he didn't do it now? So Qingyang suddenly rushed out, waved his hand, put the yellow smoke and dust sand on the wooden frame and the plate into the drunken fairy gourd, and then rushed into the formation exit of the four-story earth core tower in two steps.
The illusion just disappeared, Jiao Hong and Xi Qiu had not completely come out of the previous cruel state, and did not notice that someone took away the Huangji Smoke and Dust Sand from in front of them. However, as mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, their perception was still very sensitive. Jiao Hong seemed to have noticed something wrong and frowned, saying: "Junior Sister Xi Qiu, did you find anything unusual? Why do I feel like someone rushed out of the fourth floor of the Earth Core Tower just now?"
Xi Qiu shook her head blankly and said: "No? The other trial disciples have not arrived here yet. There are only our people on the fourth and fifth floors of the Earth Core Tower. Who would rush out at this time?"
Feeling that what Xi Qiu said seemed to make sense, Jiao Hong said to himself: "This is strange. Could it be that I was exhausted in the illusion just now and had hallucinations?"
After saying that, Jiao Hong looked up at the portrait in front of him. The huge blood bat broke in the middle, which was obviously caused by their breaking the illusion before. Below the portrait is the wooden shelf where the Huangji Smoke and Dust Sand is placed, but now it is empty and there is nothing.
"Oh no, someone has taken away the Yellow Extreme Smoke and Dust Sand." Jiao Hong couldn't help but yell.
With the portrait guarding, it was impossible for someone to take away the Yellow Extreme Smoke and Dust Sand before the illusion was broken, but from the time the illusion was broken to now, it was only a blink of an eye. Obviously, someone had just taken away the Yellow Extreme Smoke and Dust Sand from their eyes at the moment they broke the formation.
At this time, Xi Qiu also saw the empty wooden shelf. She finally realized that Jiao Hong's intuition was right just now. The things were taken away by someone else first.
Thinking that she and Jiao Hong had spent so much effort to defeat the blood bats and break the illusion, and almost lost their lives for it, but in the end, someone else took it first, Xi Qiu was immediately furious and said angrily: "Someone actually dared to steal our things, it's really hateful."
Jiao Hong's situation was similar to Xi Qiu. He was not angry, but afraid in his heart. He was worried that he would be punished by Master Lingxu because of his failure and lose Master Lingxu's favor. Jiao Hong's face turned cold, and he said, "That person hasn't gone far yet, let's go after him."
Before he finished speaking, Jiao Hong rushed to the exit of the formation not far away, and disappeared from the fourth floor of the Earth Core Tower in a blink of an eye. Xi Qiu was not to be outdone, and he paused, rushed to the exit of the formation in three or two steps, and quickly disappeared into the formation.
After such a short while, the two had recovered from the sequelae of the illusion. Except for the serious consumption of their spiritual thoughts, other aspects were not affected, so the speed of the two rushing out was swift and fierce, even faster than Qingyang before.
The Earth Core Tower is a building that is protected from the inside to the outside by formations, and one can only go out from the first floor of the tower, so Qingyang ran all the way to the first floor of the Earth Core Tower, exerting his speed to the extreme.
Qingyang had considered how to escape before. One way was to hide after leaving Jiao Hong and Xi Qiu's sight, or to temporarily hide in the Drunken Immortal Gourd. But Qingyang thought about it carefully and felt that this method was not very practical.
Jiao Hong and Xi Qiu were not fools. As long as they chased him outside and couldn't see his figure, they would definitely guess that he was hiding somewhere in the Earth Core Tower. At this time, there was no need to look for him. He just had to wait for the opportunity to block the door of the Earth Core Tower, and he would never get out.
When Lingxu Gongzi and others were free, and there were more people, it would be too easy for ten people to deal with him alone.
So the only way now is to rush out of the underground cave, or at least rush out of the gate of the Tower of Inquiry first. The area outside is much wider and connected in all directions. No matter how or where you hide, the enemy can't block all the escape routes. At that time, you can escape to wherever you want.
