Chapter 224: Rewards for Passing a Level
Just when Cao Rui had just put away his magic sword, the fog around him seemed to be affected by some mysterious power and began to slowly dissipate.
Cao Rui was shocked: "Huh? What's going on? Did I kill all the puppets and break the balance of this fog array?"
Although he was confused, he did not relax his vigilance.
After all, this is the Tianji Fortress, and anything can happen.
In order to ensure his own safety, Cao Rui decided to quickly rush to the central area.
Along the way, the fog around him was receding at an astonishing speed, and his vision was constantly expanding.
As his vision expanded, Cao Rui was surprised to find that there were not only puppet fragments on the ground, but also many corpses of monsters and monks.
Dead, many people who entered the Tianji Fortress died.
Most of the monks who entered the Tianji Fortress this time have died.
The degree of danger of this Tianji Fortress is beyond imagination.
Continuing to fly forward, Cao Rui gradually approached the central area of the fog array.
At this time, the fog had completely dissipated, and a huge circular square appeared in front of him. The ground of the square was covered with ancient stone slabs, which were engraved with complex runes. This was the center of the fog array.
When they returned to the center, all the fog had retreated.
Zhang Heng and the other two were standing in the square with confused faces, and they were obviously confused by the retreating fog.
Cao Rui came over.
"Yu boy, what's the situation? What happened? Why did the fog dissipate?" Why are all the puppets gone!" Zhang Heng was puzzled.
Cao Rui shook his head slightly, his face slightly solemn: "I don't know, let's go to the exit first."
Cao Rui led the way and took the three people from the center to the exit.
Along the way, they saw many puppet remains and corpses.
"The three-headed monster is dead."
"Elder Bai of Yunshui Sect is dead."
"The monk over there is from Miaoyin Temple. "Zhang Heng's voice was also unusually serious.
Being crushed to death by these puppets that resembled top-level physical cultivators, their bodies were incomplete, and their identities could only be guessed based on vague traces.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. If he hadn't followed Cao Rui into the Tianji Fortress this time, he might have to explain this first level here.
Not long after.
Cao Rui led the three to the expected exit.
What came into view were several neatly arranged teleportation arrays. These teleportation arrays did not look complicated, but a closer look revealed that four of them had lost their spiritual light.
Zhang Heng looked at these teleportation arrays, frowned slightly and said: "This seems to be a one-time teleportation array. Does it mean that we need to act separately?"
He is older and more experienced, and has some understanding of various formations.
"Four have been activated. It is likely that Gu Qingying and the others have entered the next level in advance. ”
A one-time teleportation array is a special teleportation array that is only for single-person use and will be destroyed immediately after use.
This teleportation array is usually used in some specific occasions or tasks to ensure that participants can complete a certain stage of the test independently.
Just then, Cao Rui keenly noticed that there seemed to be something in the teleportation array.
He concentrated his consciousness and carefully explored it, and indeed found that in the center of each teleportation array, there was a light ball quietly suspended.
Cao Rui carefully probed his consciousness towards the light ball, and the light ball immediately gave four clear text messages: pass reward!
Seeing this news, Cao Rui couldn't help but feel a sour tooth. It turned out that Tianjizi had set up a pass reward here.
Several other people also probed their consciousness into the light ball, and also received feedback information of "pass reward".
For a moment, everyone's expressions were different.
"Is there no way to leave the Tianji Fortress and teleport to the outside world? "Tan Hongmei frowned and said.
Seeing that this level was so dangerous and so many monks died, Tan Hongmei had already thought about leaving.
Cao Rui said at this time: "Yes."
Cao Rui pointed to the last teleportation array on the left among several rows of teleportation arrays and said: "That teleportation array has no reward setting, nor is it a one-time teleporter, and the position is consistent with the gap position in the array. It should be the teleportation array to leave Tianji Fortress."
Tan Hongmei's eyes lit up when she heard it. She believed what Cao Rui said: "Zhang Heng, let's leave. We are not worthy of the reward of Tianji Fortress."
Zhang Heng hesitated when he heard it.
"What are you hesitating about? Only Gu Qingying is left in Yunshui Sect."
"Miaoyin Temple monks are almost dead."
"If Yu Yijian hadn't brought us, I'm afraid we would be the first to die. "Tan Hongmei said.
They are both older, from the background of casual cultivators, and their skills are not strong. Tianji Fortress is so dangerous that it is obviously not suitable for them to take risks.
Zhang Heng looked at the reward on the teleportation array: "After all the hardships and risks, I didn't get the reward. I am very unwilling."
The reward on the teleportation array is covered by the magic array, and the control of objects cannot shake it.
It is obvious that Tianjizi means that you need to choose to enter the teleportation array and continue to enter the next level to get the reward.
At this time, Cao Rui patted the storage bag, and fifteen high-grade spirit stones appeared in front of him.
Cao Rui waved his hand, and the high-grade spirit stones were divided into three parts, rushing to Shi Shatian, Zhang Heng and Tan Hongmei.
"This is your share of spirit stones. "
"How can this be done?" Tan Hongmei said in demur.
It was no problem for Shi Shatian to accept the spirit stones. She and Zhang Heng did not contribute much, so how could they accept five high-grade spirit stones.
Five high-grade spirit stones were worth at least 60,000 spirit stones in the outside world, which was also a huge income for a foundation-building cultivator.
"No need to say more, just accept it. Without you pulling me in, I might not be able to enter the Tianji Fortress." Cao Rui said.
Indeed, with the presence of the fourth-level demon cultivator Lanlong Daoist, if it were not for Zhang Heng, who had a crazy personality, to find a reason to pull Cao Rui in, Cao Rui would really have a headache about how to enter the Tianji Fortress.
The teleportation array of the Tianji Fortress was activated once, and the next activation would have to be next month.
Moreover, after the Tianji Fortress was opened this time, it might be directly teleported to the next area.
Under Cao Rui's persuasion, Zhang Heng and the other two accepted the spirit stones.
With five high-quality spirit stones as a foundation, Zhang Heng also gave up the idea of continuing to break through the barriers and decided to leave Tianji Fortress with Tan Hongmei.
"However, I suggest you wait for a while before going out."
"Because of the teleportation array here, I don't know where we will be sent. If it is the original location, Taoist Lanlong can wait there." Cao Rui reminded.
After this, Tan Hongmei and Zhang Heng also changed their faces, and finally decided to wait here for a while before going out.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, do you choose to continue to break through the barriers?" Cao Rui looked at Shi Shatian.
Shi Shatian nodded gently: "Yes."
Compared with the pain during cultivation, the crisis in Tianji Fortress is nothing.
Shi Shatian entered this place for only one purpose, that is, to find an opportunity to advance to the Golden Core.
"Okay."
"Then help us good luck."
Cao Rui nodded slightly and stepped forward to choose a teleportation array.
Cao Rui took a deep breath and entered the teleportation array. The teleportation array was activated immediately. The light ball inside was instantly shattered, and the things inside turned into a stream of light and flowed into Cao Rui's hands.
It was a jade slip. Cao Rui didn't have time to take a closer look, so he put the reward for passing the level into the storage bag.
Then the world spun around, the teleportation array was activated, and Cao Rui's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
