This was already the fifth day that Zhu Jiu had participated in the second round of the competition, sneaked into Qiu Moren's territory, and spent the fifth day chasing and hunting.
In the past five days, Zhu Jiu used all his knowledge and used all kinds of attack and killing methods to kill twenty-two Qiu Demon warriors and crippled thirteen Qiu Demon teams!
The performance was brilliant, but at the same time, there was a deep wound on his back that was visible to the bone.
At this time, Zhu Jiuzheng was lurking in a pond, breathing through a small hollow tube exposed among the water plants. Behind him, several teams of damaged Qiu Demons gathered together to intercept and kill him.
Zhu Jiu had been walking in circles in the mountains and fields with these Qiu Demon teams for several hours. At this time, he was immersed in the water, enduring the bone-chilling pain of the wound on his back being hit by the water, and lay dormant quietly.
After the Qiu Demon warriors searched the area, Zhu Jiu carefully emerged from the water, surveyed the footprints of the Qiu Demon warriors, and then followed several groups of Qiu Demon warriors again, starting a new round of hunting.
Zhu Jiu used the techniques he had practiced in the past six years to the best of his ability, and sometimes even lurked in the dung of cows and animals, waiting for an enemy to be killed with one blow.
Opportunity.
Zhu Jiu's method of being ruthless to his enemies as well as himself, coupled with the many tests of life and death over the past few days, have caused his own strength to increase rapidly.
Of the twenty-two corpses of Qiu Demon warriors killed in the past few days, except for one that had not had time to be absorbed by the ghost, the absorption of twenty-one Qiu Demon third-level first-grade warriors resulted in several bodies representing the Savage Bone Hammer on the Sea of Consciousness Talisman.
The symbols are exceptionally bright and much richer and more evolved than before.
After many times of absorption and evolution, the power of the bone hammer has increased repeatedly. In the latest collision with the Qiu Demon Warrior, it smashed the opponent's natal hammer with one blow, and then smashed the Qiu Demon Warrior to death.
This is enough to show how extraordinary the power of this wild hammer is now!
It is a pity that after absorbing so many third-level first-grade mound demons, the evolution of the bone hammer has become weaker and slower. If you want to maintain rapid growth, you will need to hunt down higher-level mound demons.
At the same time, Zhu Jiu also confirmed his guess. Because the evolutionary growth of the bone hammer has led to a steady improvement in his strength, Zhu Jiu's ranking of 61st on the newly generated list of sea consciousness spirits has changed.
It moved forward one bit and became sixty.
The talisman evolves, the strength increases, and the ranking moves forward. This shows that Zhu Jiu's guess is correct. The ranking of this magical list is closely related to strength.
Confirming this news made Zhu Jiuda very excited, and at the same time, he was extremely looking forward to how many students he would eventually rank in when he was promoted to the peak of the Imaging Realm!
Following several Qiu Mo teams who were hunting him from a distance, Zhu Jiu started the hunting game again.
But this time Zhu Jiu followed several incomplete teams of Qiu Demons for several hours but failed to find a suitable opportunity. It seemed that these Qiu Demons were extremely vigilant and could no longer find a suitable opportunity to attack.
.
Zhu Jiu decisively turned around and left the area, without delay, and continued to approach the meeting point specified by the sect according to the direction.
If he finds a lone Qiu Demon on the way, he will attack boldly and show no mercy. Zhu Jiu also changed his tactics. He no longer stalks and entangles the demon, but strikes far away and kills it before leaving.
Two days later, Zhu Jiu walked out of the jungle and came to the outskirts of a vast and majestic mountain range. The mission jade sign indicated that the return transfer point within the sect should be in the Hengtian Ancient City at the foot of the mountain range.
According to the introduction in the mission description, the location where Zhu Jiu and the others will conduct the second round of competition this time is at the edge of the handover between the human race and the Qiu Demon Race. With Hengtian City as the boundary, behind the city is the official land belonging to humans.
The location where Zhu Jiu was standing now was on the edge of the jungle. Hengtian City Wall, which was as high as the mountains, could be seen in the distance more than ten miles away. The wall was made of blue boulders, nearly a thousand meters high, and it was astonishingly towering.
After confirming the location of Hengtian City, Zhu Jiu turned around and plunged into the jungle again.
During the past few days, he accidentally discovered the ruins of an incomplete ancient temple while running and attacking. Now that the location of Hengtian City has been determined, it is estimated that the number of Qiu Demons hunted has been enough to enter the next round. He took advantage of the ten-day deadline to return to the sect.
Before arriving, Zhu Jiu wanted to explore the ruins of the temple.
Running silently through the jungle, the surroundings are always silent and dead. As the border between the two races, this place is frequently visited by humans and Qiu demons, and all kinds of birds and beasts have long since disappeared.
After driving for most of the day and climbing over several hidden mountain passes, Zhu Jiu came to a place where he stood at the foot of a mountain that looked like it had been split open by a huge sword. A cool and cold breath came out of the dark crack in the middle of the mountain.
Zhu Jiu discovered this hidden gap in the mountains when he was avoiding several Qiu Demon teams who were chasing him.
At that time, Zhu Jiu hid in a crack to avoid his pursuers, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a cave deep in the crack. There was actually a majestic dilapidated building hidden in it. The architectural style looked like a temple.
At that time, the specific location of Hengtian City was not determined, so Zhu Jiu did not dare to delay and left without taking a closer look.
Now that he had plenty of time, he went back to take a closer look. He remembered that there seemed to be something unusual in the corpse mirror when he hid last time.
Before entering the crack, Zhu Jiu took out the talisman, activated the talisman to change to the size of a meter, and hung it above his head.
The mysterious symbols on the surface of the talisman that can communicate with all things in the universe shine in sequence, and the radiance of mana hangs down to protect Zhu Jiu. Standing under the talisman seems to have a rhythm of co-pulsation with the surrounding heaven and earth, as if you don't have to look at it with your eyes.
, Zhu Jiu seemed to be completely hidden in the nature of heaven and earth, and his existence could not be sensed at all.
A mysterious smile bloomed at the corner of Zhu Jiu's lips, and then he stepped into the dark crevice in the mountain.
The gap was extremely cold, and there was always a dense cold air that refreshed the heart. However, these evil spirits were blocked by Zhu Jiu's mysterious opportunity of communion between heaven and earth, and he could not get close at all.
The road in the fissure kept going diagonally downward, becoming wider and wider. After going several miles deeper, a large dilapidated ancient temple appeared at the end of the valley.
The surrounding light was extremely dim, but it could not block Zhu Jiu's gaze. The temple was built of simple and unsophisticated boulders, with a square shape and two colors of gold and red. It looked a bit eerie. There were many carved animal pillars at the corners.
, although it is dilapidated, you can still imagine its prosperity and magnificence in its heyday.
Only one floor of the entire temple collapsed. Many locations had obviously been damaged by external forces, and holes were penetrated in many places. It did not look like it was abandoned naturally.
Zhu Jiu stood in front of the main entrance of the temple and looked up at the broken plaque, which had only one ancient character left. The only remaining corner of it revealed the vague word "sin".
Although the plaque was dilapidated, there was still an extremely evil and resentful force coming from it. Zhu Jiu snorted coldly, the talisman above his head lit up, and there was a flash of black and yellow light, and the evil and evil force that was approaching his face immediately disappeared.
He was pushed away, and although he could no longer get closer, he was always lingering and entangled a few meters away, with a strong evil aura.
Zhu Jiuda frowned. There was such evil power before he even entered. This dilapidated temple-like building was so ominous!
Zhu Jiu stood at the door of the temple and thought about it several times, and finally stepped calmly into the unobstructed door.
Behind the gate of the temple is a small square with a radius of 100 meters, paved with ink-colored stone slabs. There are four two-meter-high cylindrical towers erected at the four corners of the ground. All of them have been broken and collapsed, with only half of them remaining, and only the ink-colored stone slabs on the ground are left
A few pieces can still remain basically intact, but the rest have been broken into countless small pieces.
The dark stone floor was extremely cold and cold, and light mist rose from above from time to time.
Zhu Jiu's eyes lit up when he saw the layout of this small square. People who are proficient in ghost ways call this ink-colored stone slab the soul-gathering and ghost-calling stone, and the small towers built at the four corners are also very particular. They are all set according to the extremely yin direction.
, called the Ghost Tower.
When these two things are arranged together, they have the miraculous effect of summoning and condensing evil objects. The entrance square of this temple is an exquisite ghostly arrangement.
Zhu Jiu squatted down and touched a relatively complete ghost stone with one finger. A chill that froze his soul immediately came from his fingertips. At the same time, the sharp cry of thousands of ghosts howling sounded in his ears, with a strong cold air.
Extreme!
Zhu Jiu was not surprised but overjoyed, and almost laughed out loud. As expected, there was still pure Yin power stored in it. Okay, okay!
