Hearing these sounds, everyone felt a shudder and took a few steps back involuntarily.
They looked around but still couldn't see anything.
But those sounds seemed to be not far away from them. Countless people were crying and screaming. These sounds, combined with the volcano scene in front of them, made it feel like they were in hell, which was terrifying.
Zhou Yuan also had an extremely sad look on his face, and he really guessed it right.
This is a sound masking array. Generally, if this kind of array is arranged, the sounds that appear here will be transmitted to other places and they will not be able to hear them.
At this moment, Lord Jinding retreated to cover his formation, and then these voices came out.
"It's so scary, what is this?" Someone was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"This is only the first part of the formation. There are two more parts. I will remove them one by one for you to see." God Lord Jinding said and waved his hand again.
Immediately, the second part of the formation was removed.
When the second part of the formation was withdrawn, the scene in front of everyone changed again.
Of the three volcanoes here, the largest volcano slowly faded away and disappeared. Instead, a flat area appeared, which was covered with volcanic rocks and appeared black and gray.
In the center of the area, there lies a large blue bird.
This big bird is dozens of feet tall, and its body length reaches a hundred feet. Its feathers exude a cyan luster. If its wings are spread out, it can cover the sky and the sun. At this moment, the big bird is sleeping there, and its legs,
It was bound by black iron chains.
It is shaped like a green luan, like a phoenix of desire, giving people endless oppression.
Although the big bird is sleeping, there are wisps of energy visible to the naked eye floating towards it and being absorbed by it.
With the absorption, Big Bird's physical body is also slowly transforming.
"What is this? Is it the legendary Qingluan?" Fan Changchun looked shocked.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flickered, and a picture immediately appeared in his mind, which he saw from Situ Xingzhou's weapon refining manual when he was in Situ Xingzhou's cave.
What was painted in the picture was the big bird in front of me.
"It's not Qingluan, it's Ziqinghe. It is said that he has a trace of the blood of the mythical beast Phoenix." Zhou Yuan said immediately.
"Purple Green Crane?" Everyone looked at Zhou Yuan.
Not many people here know this bird, and Zhou Yuan recognized it by chance.
He didn't expect that there was actually a Purple Blue Crane here. This Purple Blue Crane had already reached the Dragon Spirit Realm, and the aura it exuded was heart-stopping.
"It turns out to be the Purple Blue Crane, which makes sense. After all, this is the Lingxi Swamp and the home of birds, and this Purple Blue Crane should be the king among many birds." Someone replied.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but look suspicious, looking at the pale golden shadow in the sky.
He originally got clues from Situ Xingzhou's cave. In order to refine the Qingluan Sword, Situ Xingzhou came to Jiangzhou specifically to find the Purple Blue Crane.
Refining the Qingluan Sword lacks one of the most critical materials, and that is the colorful feather on the head of the Purple Green Crane, the Purple Green Crane Ling.
There happens to be a Purple Blue Crane imprisoned here at this moment, so where is Situ Xingzhou now?
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but wonder whether the purple green crane in front of him was related to Situ Xingzhou, and what was the relationship between the golden cauldron God Lord whose face could not be seen clearly above and Situ Xingzhou?
He couldn't help but doubt these connections.
The Tiandao Guild gave him an independent task, which was to investigate Situ Xingzhou. If Situ Xingzhou died, investigate the cause of his death. If he was still alive, investigate his traces and find out why he had left the Tiandao Guild.
s reason.
However, the figure of the Golden Cauldron God Lord was just a projection of the magic circle, and he could not look down on his face at all.
"If I ask directly if he is Situ Xingzhou, or what is his relationship with Situ Xingzhou, the other party will definitely not answer, and may even kill me on the spot."
Zhou Yuan thought secretly in his heart.
No matter it is the Golden Cauldron God Lord or the powerful men from the twelve forces, anyone can kill him.
After all, he is only at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
The Golden Cauldron Divine Lord withdrew two parts of the formation, one was the sound formation, and the other was the purple blue crane formation.
At this moment, everyone began to guess whether the third masking formation was the source of the howling ghosts and wolves?
Are the more than 50,000 warriors who came in earlier being imprisoned there?
You must know that before they came in, the twelve forces had already sent in batches of warriors.
Sure enough, not long after Lord Jinding withdrew the second formation, he also withdrew the third formation.
"This is the third cover. Next, you will see everything you want to see."
As Lord Jinding spoke, the scene in front of everyone changed again.
The remaining two small craters also disappeared at this time.
What appeared instead was a large area of craters surrounding it.
This crater covers a radius of hundreds of miles and surrounds everyone within it.
Under everyone's feet, there was boiling hot lava.
All real scenes are presented one by one.
Only then did everyone realize that they were already in the crater. The crater at their feet was a huge crater. This crater was a thousand times larger than the previous three craters.
Magma rolled around, forming a magma lake.
There are hundreds of small islands of various sizes in the magma lake, and everyone is standing on the small islands where the magma has solidified.
At the very center of the magma lake is the big blue bird.
Around the magma lake, iron cages are placed in a mess, and inside the iron cages are warriors.
The iron cage was burned red by the magma. The warriors inside the cage seemed to be absorbing the essence of their bodies, and they all showed painful expressions.
They huddled in the cage, their skins were burned red, but their flesh and blood were shriveled, and they howled in pain.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
This scene was so shocking that it hit everyone's hearts and made them feel as if they were in hell. The warriors in the cages seemed to be ghosts who were being punished. They couldn't get out, so they could only let their energy be drained away and endure it.
All kinds of pain and suffering.
The iron cage was made of special materials, with magic circle runes engraved on it. The power of the runes continuously squeezed the essence of the warriors, and finally the essence was absorbed by the purple blue crane.
"No, what I saw was too scary. I want to leave here. Please let me go."
"This scene is so depressing, I don't want to watch it anymore."
"How could it be that we were deceived into coming here, and then had our essence extracted alive like those warriors?"
For a moment, the scene suddenly became panicked.
Some people began to desperately bombard the magic circle light curtain, trying to escape, and they were extremely frightened.
Zhou Yuan was extremely shocked when he saw this scene.
"I never thought that there would be such a hell on earth in this world." Zhou Yuan also turned pale.
He did not expect that the moment he entered the volcano range, he had already entered the shelter. The three previous volcanoes were all fake, and the magma lake he saw now was real.
After all, he was still not cautious enough.
He had been wary of the twelve forces all the way, but in the end, he still fell into the trap of Lord Jinding.
In this area, God Lord Jinding has arranged at least hundreds of layers of magic formations. The superposition of various cover formations and illusion formations can completely deceive people and confuse the fake with the real one.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, Lord Jinding waved his sleeve again, and countless iron cages suddenly appeared above everyone's heads.
Those iron cages suddenly fell down, directly locking the warriors who were tied up in the squares of the magic circle inside.
Zhou Yuan, Fan Changchun and the other four people also had frightened expressions on their faces and immediately dodged away. However, they were all tied up in the magic circle, and no matter how fast they were, it was of no avail.
Runes flashed on the surface of the black iron cage, blessed by boundless gravity, like an endless mountain, giving people an irresistible sense of oppression.
Zhou Yuan only felt a huge gravity on his body, forcing him to return to the ground. Then there was a loud roar, and they were all locked in the cage.
Hundreds of black cages imprisoned all 5,000 people.
"No, let me out."
"You beasts will not die well."
All the warriors panicked. They used all their strength to attack the black cage, but no matter what kind of attack it was, it was absorbed when it landed on the black cage.
At the same time, as the runes on the cage flashed, a special suction force was produced. This suction force began to absorb the essence of the warriors, which shocked everyone.
At this moment, everyone showed a look of despair, and their energy was being sucked away, as if life was passing by little by little, which made people feel frightened.
Above, the blurred face of Lord Jinding revealed a sneer, and his voice spread downwards.
"Don't waste your efforts. Your attacks are ineffective against the cage and will only increase consumption. The greater the consumption, the faster your essence will be absorbed, and the faster you will die."
"What?" Everyone was shocked and immediately stopped attacking.
Zhou Yuan was extremely shocked when he saw the visible essence being pulled out of his body.
These are all the fruits of one's hard work in cultivation, are they ultimately going to help others?
He had already seen that the reason why Lord Jinding removed the essence from their bodies was to cultivate the Purple Blue Crane.
And what does Lord Jinding do to cultivate Ziqinghe?
Is it also for Zi Qing He Ling?
Or is this Purple Blue Crane the spiritual pet of the Lord Jinding?
Zhou Yuan subconsciously connected the Golden Cauldron God Lord with Situ Xingzhou.
"Think of a way quickly. If we can't think of a way, we will all die here."
Zeng Miaoyu usually had a resolute expression, but at this moment he looked extremely flustered, with tears beginning to flash in his eyes.
Zhou Yuan immediately sat down cross-legged.
He said to everyone: "There are still many temporary methods, such as meditating on the spot and adjusting the breath, which can make up for the energy that has been taken away."
"In addition, taking various elixirs can also make up for it."
"But this is not a long-term solution. When the elixir is used up and the essence is extracted, we will also be consumed to death. The best way is to break the magic circle. As long as we can break the magic circle, all problems will be solved.
Solved easily."
Zhou Yuan said to everyone.
After hearing this, everyone's faces became even more ugly.
There are layers of magic circles here. It is extremely difficult to break them. More importantly, you need a magic circle master.
"Okay, from now on you can stay here and feed this purple blue crane patiently. When this purple blue crane reaches the dragon transformation state, it will be a big help to me."
"Of course, if you die like this, it will be too easy for you. I have specially refined a Ten Thousand Souls Banner. When you die one by one, your souls will be included in this Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and you will never be reincarnated.
"
Lord Jinding said, and then pointed to the big black flag stuck in the middle of the magma lake, next to the purple blue crane.
"What? That black flag is the legendary Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"
"What level of power is this Golden Cauldron God Lord, that he can actually refine such a treasure?"
"What a bullshit Jinding God Lord, he should be called Jinding Demon Lord. He wants to kill so many people, isn't he afraid of causing evil?"
All the warriors in the cage looked unwilling.
Some people even broke the jars, suppressed the fear in their hearts, pointed at the Lord Jinding and cursed.
However, Lord Jinding was not angry at all, "If you want to talk about killing evil, I have already done it. Since so many people have already died, what's the problem with killing some more people?"
Say it, Lord Jinding turned around, and with the buzzing of the magic circle, the projection of the magic circle disappeared.
Lord Jinding left, and everyone looked at each other with confusion, but more of them felt despair.
Many people looked at the twelve forces, begging, hoping that they could save their lives.
There were also some people who knew that this was a waste of time, so they followed Zhou Yuan's method and began to sit cross-legged and meditate to replenish their drained energy.
Of course, it is impossible that there is not one Talisman Master among the five thousand people. On the contrary, there are more than a hundred Talisman Masters, and there are nearly a thousand warriors who have come into contact with the Magic Array.
They gathered together and began to study how to crack the magic circle on the cage.
Zhou Yuan was not idle either. He walked to a deserted corner and took out the Heavenly Law Token.
Since so much murder has been caused here, it is impossible that the Tiandao Guild's headquarters, a treasure that monitors the world, cannot be discovered.
Zhou Yuan wanted to search in the Tiandao Order to see if there were any related tasks.
Or, publish a message to let all Tiandao Guild members know what is happening here, so that he can also have a chance to escape.
