Chapter 135 Encountered an ambush
ps: (Thanks to Guanghui Shanzhen and Hun Tiancheng for their rewards! The second update is delivered today!)
After walking out of the third floor exit, the scene in front of me has indeed changed.
Jiang Chen discovered that he had actually come to a mountainside where birds sing and flowers scented.
Around it is a forest of green leaves, with a few birds parked on the branches, and among the grass under the trees, there are many flowers that cannot be named, and the flowers are clustered together, forming a charming picture.
However, the mountainside was shrouded in a thick white mist, and there was a cable bridge on the mountainside, which seemed to lead to another mountain.
But due to the fog, it is impossible to see clearly what the other end of the cable bridge is.
There was an open space on the side of the mountain, and there were many people sitting cross-legged. Jiang Chen glanced at him and found that he was all disciples from the other seven peaks, but the number was much smaller than when he entered the tower.
Most of the mountains have only about seven to ten people. Even the Tianyou Peak, which has the largest number of people, only fifteen people. Of course, the number of disciples on these mountains is much better than the Demon Soul Peak where they are located. Because the Demon Soul Peak is only one bare now.
Jiang Chen's arrival also attracted the attention of others. When they found that Jiang Chen was the only one left in the Demon Soul Peak, their eyes showed shock and contempt. They thought to themselves that the Demon Soul Peak was really weak. Although it was difficult to pass the first three levels, it would not be wiped out. They had to reach the fourth level by one.
Luo Jingwen saw Jiang Chen also came here at this time, and hurriedly waved to him and signaled him to come over.
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, feeling that he really needed to find someone to understand the situation in the next few floors. So he walked into the Tianyou Peak crowd where Luo Jingwen was located.
Tu Ying was closing his eyes and breathing to restore his spiritual power. Seeing him coming, he nodded slightly, but did not open his eyes and talk, but continued to use his energy to recover.
Jiang Chen nodded at her and sat next to Luo Jingwen.
Luo Jingwen asked him in a surprised look and said, "Jiang Chen, why are you the only one left in your Demon Soul Peak? What did you meet in the first three levels? Why did you get into such a situation?"
"The first floor encountered a desert poisonous scorpion. The second floor encountered a swamp crocodile. The third floor was a cemetery full of zombie ghosts and skeletons..." Jiang Chen replied in a low voice.
"That's the same as us! It feels like there is only the third floor, which may cause casualties. But you are not the only one who breaks over! Did something happen?" Luo Jingwen said in surprise.
Jiang Chen sighed and told him about Liu Yang's attempt to assassinate him. Finally, he said lightly: "Fortunately, the place where the team needs cooperation has been passed. There should be no major damage in the future."
"Liu Yang is so hateful! He actually attacked the people on this peak on the third level! A person with such a narrow mind and no commanding talent can actually become the team leader. I really don't know what your ancestors think of people!" Luo Jingwen also said disdainfully after learning about the incident.
"Maybe the ancestor has some other considerations! After all, Liu Yang's cultivation and magic weapons are the strongest among our reference disciples of the Demon Soul Peak!" Jiang Chen naturally did not dare to question the decision of his ancestor in front of so many people. If it is passed into the Demon Soul Ancestor's ear, something is wrong.
After hearing this, Luo Jingwen nodded. She glanced at the crowd opposite her and asked softly: "Then you have to be careful in a while! I see that Zhao Lin from the Demon Corpse Peak has been staring at you, and he may plot against you in the back."
Jiang Chen nodded. The impact on the next few layers was related to the qualifications of potential disciples, and the disciples of this peak could fight. It was impossible to seek protection from Tianyou Peak. Moreover, he had never thought of seeking protection from others. However, he asked curiously: "Zihan, do you know what the situation is in the next few layers? Is it also similar to the situation in the previous few layers?"
"This, I only heard that the fourth level tests a person's will and ability to endure, and the fifth level seems to test a person's understanding, so what comes later is not very clear..."
Luo Jingwen raised her hand, gently stroked the ends of her hair in her ear, and then said, "And, according to the elders of the master's sect, this trial tower is extremely wonderful. Every time she enters, the scene will change. During the big test ten years ago, a master who had participated said that the first three levels are lava volcano, raging sea and Arctic glacier. It is very different from the scene we passed by this time. Therefore, we cannot judge what the next level will be like now."
After hearing this, Jiang Chen sighed lightly, as if he could only take one step at a time.
After a while, everyone had finished restoring their breathing and recovering. The other disciples from the peaks had entered the cable bridge one after another and walked towards the thick fog.
Since Jiang Chen was the last one to arrive, he took a rest time a little longer than others. While he was still sitting cross-legged to regulate his breathing, people from Tianyou Peak such as Luo Jingwen and Tu Ying also began to go to the cable bridge.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint voice transmission in his ear: "Jiang Chen, I am Tu Ying. For the relationship between you and Junior Sister Jingwen, I will remind you again: I have heard that Zhao Lin had to arrange a man to ambush you on the fourth floor. Take care of yourself!"
Jiang Chen was shocked and looked at Tu Ying, but saw that her graceful figure had disappeared into the thick fog of the cable bridge.
"Zhao Lin arranged for someone to ambush me? I guess he wanted to grab the time to rush to the next few floors! That's fine, let me send a few of his accomplices out first!" Jiang Chen was also really angry, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
After an hour of breathing adjustment, Jiang Chen's spiritual power had recovered. He walked onto the cable bridge and slowly entered the thick fog.
At the end of the cable bridge, there was a crystal clear iceberg. As soon as I approached the iceberg, I felt a chill coming to my face, which made people suddenly have goose bumps.
It seems that the thick fog before should be caused by the cooling of the air close to the iceberg. Jiang Chen thought to himself.
At this time, his spiritual sense could clearly see that at the end of the cable bridge was a large hole of five feet in radius, embedded on the hillside of the iceberg. A large amount of air conditioning and holes were sprayed out from the ice cave. It seemed that the coldness inside was even greater than that outside.
Jiang Chen was also staring at the cave entrance with all his attention and vaguely felt a trace of danger.
However, after hesitating for a while, he still strides across the cable bridge and steps onto the surface of the iceberg. At this moment, he heard the sudden sound of wind behind him.
He looked closely and saw three young men surrounding him from the front, flank and back. The three men had a badge with the word "corpse" on their chests, and it seemed that they were disciples of the Demon Corpse Peak.
Jiang Chen looked at the three people and found that they were all over 20 years old. One of them had the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage, while the other two were the Ninth Level of the Qi Refining Stage, just like him. From the sneer on the faces of these three people, it was absolutely unfair. It is estimated that the ambushed person arranged by Zhao Lin as Tu Ying said.
"Jiang Chen, this is really a way to heaven. If you don't go, you won't break in from hell!" Among the three, the disciple of the Qi Refining Stage led by the leader laughed.
"That's it! If you stay in the safe area opposite and wait until the end of the exam, we really can't do anything to you. But now you have to overestimate your ability and break into the fourth floor, which is to destroy yourself! You must know that from this floor, there is no limit on taking action!" The disciple standing on the flank also laughed grimly. Jiang Chen recognized that this person seemed to have set up an ambush by the river with Zhao Lin, using the spirit-eating mushrooms as bait, to siege him.
"Jiang Chen, I am Wang Zhong from the Demon Corpse Peak. These two are my junior brothers Song Ping and Yang Quan. Now we will give you the last chance: hand over the spirit-eating mushrooms! Compensation for us with another 3,000 spirit stones. If there are not so many spirit stones, equivalent magic weapons and talismans can be used. Let's just forget this! Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!" The leader, the disciple who claimed to be Wang Zhong, said with a smile, but a vicious look appeared in his eyes.
Although Jiang Chen showed strong combat power in the ambush by the river before, he believed that he and others could fight one with three against one, whether it was a wheel battle or a group fight, they could steadily eat Jiang Chen.
After hearing this, Jiang Chen looked at the three of them for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Your appetite is really big! But what if I don't want to?"
"Hehe! If you don't want to, don't blame us for not being intimate and sending you out! I can tell you one thing, once you pass the fourth level, the reward item will be a high-level magic weapon. Don't you want to obtain it? This is more valuable than the spirit-eating mushrooms and three thousand spirit stones!" Wang Zhong's eyes also showed a look of greed in his eyes, and he said in a very tempting tone.
"Thank you for telling me about this! Unfortunately, I still don't want to hand over the spirit-eating mushrooms and spirit stones for you. I'll bother you!" Jiang Chen said with a faint smile on his face.
"The trash of Demon Soul Peak! Go and die. It's your entire peak that you should be eliminated!" Wang Zhong and the other three were furious and knew that they had been teased by Jiang Chen.
"I'll go first! I want to see what kind of garbage from the mixed spirit roots has!" Song Ping roared and rushed over with a big red machete. He also besieged Jiang Chen with Zhao Lin before. Seeing that Jiang Chen had been passively beaten and was at a disadvantage, he was very disdainful of him.
"Go to die! A waste!" A fierce light flashed in Song Ping's eyes, and the big knife in his hand immediately turned into a red rainbow, flying towards Jiang Chen's chest with lightning speed.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was calm and calm. With a move of his left hand, a small spray drum appeared in his hand, and then he suddenly sprayed at the big knife that was flying over...
With a crisp sound of "Peng", a large cloud of blue smoke surged out from the nozzle of the spray drum, and suddenly enveloped Song Ping's machete.
Then, the luster of the red big sword body suddenly dimmed. Song Ping felt that the connection between the knife and his spiritual consciousness was rapidly fading. Not to mention maintaining the big sword attack, even retraction became a problem.
Just as he was extremely shocked, and was about to use his spiritual sense to drive the sword to turn, he suddenly felt a golden light flashing in front of him, and then a sharp pain in his throat, and a bloody red blood immediately spurted out of his throat. Song Ping felt that his strength and consciousness gradually blurred...
