I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

"Have you been inside?"

As soon as Ning Ruan finished asking the question, several monks shook their heads in unison.

"Many fellow Taoists entered before, but only three were able to pass through, and they all relied on their body movements and speed to force their way through."

The Yuan-Building Realm cultivator shook his head with lingering fear, "We're not good at body movements and didn't dare to advance. Aside from the three fellow Daoists who made it through successfully, the others all fell into the trap. There was also another one who seemed to have triggered a teleportation mechanism and was teleported to an unknown location."

He pointed inside the stone chamber.

Inside the spacious stone chamber, the ground was not flat, but paved with countless bluestones of different sizes.

These bluestone slabs appear to be disorganized, but upon closer inspection, one can vaguely sense a strange rhythm.

"What kind of trap is it? Anyone who enters it will die?" The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator also asked.

The Yuan-Building Realm cultivator couldn't help but swallow. "What exactly it was... I didn't see it clearly. I only saw the Taoist friend who went in first. He was fine at first, but suddenly the bluestone under his feet disappeared, and he fell straight down. Below... it seemed like there were only sharp stone spikes below. He never came up again."

Another cultivator followed suit, saying, "The person I noticed didn't encounter any stone spikes, but I saw clearly that after he guessed the bluestone, he disappeared. There were traces of spatial fluctuations at the time, so he must have been teleported to another place."

Isn’t this almost exactly the same as what Ning Ruan’s mysterious junior brother said?

Still saying I don’t know.

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator rolled her eyes, "What level of cultivation is it to encounter a stone spike? He can't avoid it?"

The Yuan-building cultivator sighed and said, "That fellow Daoist is at the same level as me, but his cultivation is higher than mine. Judging from his reaction at that time, the stone spikes seemed to have the ability to imprison him. If he fell, he would not be able to escape."

Nine-tailed female cultivator: "..." With her current sick body, if she goes in, she will probably not be able to escape.

"What can you do?"

She could only look at Han Ze.

"If there is someone who is proficient in formations, perhaps they can find the rules of the formation and predict which bluestone is safe."

Han Ze pointed at himself and said, "I don't know how to use the formation. Even if I can pass it, I can only pass it by myself."

Nine-tailed female cultivator: "..."

Before she could speak, several monks beside her gave her strange looks.

This young man from the human race... he even knows how to open the altar?

"My friend, can you get through?"

A monk couldn't help but step forward, his eyes filled with anxiety and expectation, "Can you take me with you?"

"Don't worry, as long as you can take me out, I will never treat you unfairly."

"Senior, aren't you afraid that I will abandon you halfway?" Han Ze asked back, with the smile on the corner of his lips not reaching his eyes.

"..." The monk was choked by the question, but he didn't dare to lash out, after all, there was an evil spirit watching him.

Han Ze had already withdrawn his gaze and looked at Ning Ruan, "Senior Sister Ning, we should leave."

"Let's go."

Ning Ruan nodded.

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator quickly spoke up, "You can come in too? What about me and this ant tribe?"

"..." Mo Feng's lips and teeth moved, wanting to correct it. He was from the Soul-Eating Tribe, not the Ant Tribe.

But he didn't say anything in the end.

As if he was used to it, he just looked up at Ning Ruan.

The latter suddenly grabbed the clothes on his back.

With the other hand, he was holding Kyuubi-senpai in the same exact motion.

"I don't have any other options. Please cooperate and don't move. If you die from moving around, it won't be my fault."

As soon as Ning Ruan finished speaking, without waiting for the Nine-tailed female cultivator and Mo Feng to react, she exerted force with both hands at the same time, and skillfully lifted the two of them up steadily on the left and right as if she was holding two little chickens.

"Ning Ruan, you..." The Nine-Tailed female cultivator was about to protest against this posture that was detrimental to the dignity of a Jindan cultivator, but when she thought of the danger in the stone chamber and her now extremely weak body, she swallowed the words back at the tip of her tongue.

dignity?

It’s definitely more important than life!

She silently adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable when being carried... at least not too tight around the neck.

Mo Feng was even more obedient, like a pendant, not daring to move, and even trying to restrain his breath to reduce his own weight.

Seeing this, Han Ze's eyes flashed with a smile, and then he said seriously: "Senior Sister Ning, follow me closely, don't make a mistake."

After saying this, he took a deep breath, his eyes swept across the floor of the stone chamber sharply, his steps changing, and he stepped accurately on one safe bluestone after another.

His movements were not slow, but they had a peculiar rhythm, as if he had already memorized the entire route.

Ning Ruan was carrying the two people, but her body was still light. She followed closely behind like a shadow, and every step she took landed precisely in the center of the bluestone that Han Ze had stepped on, without the slightest deviation.

Outside the stone chamber, several monks were stunned.

"They...they actually know a way to get past this!"

"That kid is really lying to us!"

"What's the point of saying this now? If I had known earlier, I should have just risked my life and followed them!"

They were filled with regret and jealousy, but they could only watch Ning Ruan and the other three getting closer and closer to the stone gate opposite.

At this moment, a cultivator at the Thirteenth Realm gritted his teeth, moved his body, and rushed towards the path Han Ze had walked without caring about anything!

This scene was too sudden.

By the time the other monks reacted, he had already stepped over several bluestones.

Probably because he found out that he was fine, his face was suddenly filled with surprise.

His eyes were fixed on the backs of Ning Ruan and others in front of him, and he was almost following in their footsteps.

However, just as he took another successful step and landed on a seemingly normal light green stone—

A sudden change occurred!

The bluestone under his feet disappeared instantly without any warning!

"what--!"

The skinny monk only had time to let out a short scream before he fell straight down like a puppet with its strings cut!

There was no solid ground below, but a dark pit that appeared at some unknown time.

Ning Ruan took the opportunity to look back.

It is clearly visible under the eyes.

At the bottom of the pit, you can vaguely see dense ice spikes flashing with a cold blue light.

At that moment, even from a distance, she could feel the ice elemental spiritual power coming towards her.

There is also a strange energy...

In the blink of an eye, the bluestone returned to its original position.

After the monk fell, there was no movement.

At the cave entrance, two monks were eager to try and were ready to follow.

But now, looking at the bluestone slabs in front of them that had returned to their original state, the two were already scared out of their wits.

He suddenly braked and stopped at the edge of the pit, his whole body covered in cold sweat, not daring to move forward any further.

Inside the stone chamber, four figures were making their way smoothly and were about to reach the stone gate opposite.

Several monks who witnessed this scene felt that they had difficulty breathing.

If this goes on, won’t the immortal weapon fall into Ning Ruan’s hands?

No.

Not necessarily yet.

It's not just the floor of the stone chamber that is dangerous.

Even the stone gate has problems.

It looks like it's right opposite you, but when you actually walk over to it, it will change its position by itself.

Several monks stared at the stone chamber, as if expecting the scene they wanted to see to appear.

But it was destined to be disappointment.

Because in the next moment——

When they were four or five steps away from the stone gate.

Han Ze, the leader, suddenly changed his pace and gave up stepping into the stone gate.

Turn suddenly towards the stone wall on the right.

This sudden change startled all the monks watching outside the stone chamber.

Immediately, a more complicated expression appeared.

You even know this!

Before, two monks with great physical skills fell into this fake stone door.

Who would have thought that after finally passing through so many traps, the stone gate turned out to be real or fake?

But the real stone gate can still change at will.

No one can know in advance where it will appear.

Han Ze quickly reached the stone wall.

There was no pause in his steps.

Without hesitation, he crashed into the stone wall—

Sure enough, the expected collision did not happen.

The moment his figure touched the stone wall, a stone door suddenly appeared.

Ning Ruan's speed is faster than his.

As soon as Han Ze entered, a green shadow passed by him.

Once you reach a safe location.

Ning Ruan just let go.

The Nine-tailed female cultivator and Mo Feng both staggered.

It was difficult to keep his balance.

The former hesitated to speak, and finally said: "...Forget it this time, but Ning Ruan, next time can you tell me before throwing it away, ancestor!"

"You're not suitable to call me ancestor, right?" Ning Ruan glanced at the fox tail behind her, which was gradually regaining its luster. "It's cross-species."

Nine-tailed female cultivator: “!!!” Is this the point?

The key point is whether you can avoid throwing it away suddenly next time.

She is injured now, injured!

Ning Ruan didn't care whether he was injured or not.

She was looking through the stone door in front of her.

The stone gate has not changed since then.

Looking from here, one can even clearly see the expressions of the monks at the opposite stone gate.

The only weird thing was that they were all staring in one direction.

Didn't look at them.

Ning Ruan raised her eyes slightly, "Are they looking at the location where the fake stone gate appeared?"

Han nodded and said, "That should be the case. From the opposite perspective, a fake stone door will appear randomly, while the real stone door is hidden inside the stone wall."

"It's all over now, there's no need to study whether the stone gate is real or fake."

The Nine-Tailed Cultivator interrupted their conversation and pointed down the stone stairs. "Instead of studying this, it would be better to..."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly changed the subject, "Why don't you guess what's on the next level? How many more levels do we have to go before we can find the immortal weapon?"

"This damn place is weird. Even my spiritual sense can't be projected too far. I don't know how many levels there are under this altar. Han Ze, can you guess?"

Han Ze said: "I guess... maybe there is another layer."

"In other words, the immortal weapon is right down there?" The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator's voice suddenly rose, filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Even those fox eyes suddenly lit up surprisingly.

She is no longer interested in the magic weapon, but that does not affect her desire to see what the rumored magic weapon looks like.

Of course, the most important thing is that as long as we get the magic weapon, we can leave this hellhole.

She would rather find an exit at the altar than go through endless challenges down there.

Han Ze raised his eyes to look at Ning Ruan, his tone as low and solemn as ever: "I'm just guessing, it shouldn't be so easy to get down there."

"So the stone stairs are also dangerous?" Ning Ruan instantly understood what he meant.

Han Ze still shook his head, "For Senior Sister Ning, it's not dangerous."

"But for the senior, and this fellow Taoist..."

He said slowly: "That's not necessarily the case."

"..."

unexpected.

Hearing such words again, the Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator was no longer even angry.

With so many layers, which layer is not dangerous for her?

Not to mention the ant tribe behind her who, like her, played no role at all.

"Just tell me straight away, what danger is there down there?"

"Do you need to knock me out? I can do it myself."

"That's not necessary." Han Ze paused, then added, "...but if Senior feels that's safer, that's fine."

Nine-tailed female cultivator: "..."

She swore she was just saying it casually!

"What's down there?"

Han Ze readily followed suit and said in a serious tone, "We have the Curse Crow Clan's extremely high-quality spiritual weapons and elixirs, as well as some rare materials used for refining formations, refining weapons, and spiritual inspiration."

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator gave a look that said, "Are you kidding me?" and asked, "Are you serious?"

I asked you to guess, and you really dared to guess.

It can't be that the Curse Crow Clan saw that they were having too much trouble getting through the levels, so they were going to give them a reward right away, right?

This was different from the disbelief of the Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator and Mo Feng.

Ning Ruan only cared about one thing, "No spiritual fruits? No edible natural treasures?"

Han Ze nodded, so he was sure that there would be no danger if he continued to walk in Ning World.

"These things do exist down there, but you have to pay a price to get them."

"Any monk who touches it will be forced to pay a price, and in exchange, they will also receive that object."

"but……"

“Those things are both true and false.”

"?" The corner of the Nine-Tailed Cultivator's lips twitched. "So, even if you pay the price, what you get might just be a fake?"

Very good, this is just right.

Nothing good can happen in this damn place.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she thought of something else.

"Wait... the Curse Crow Clan has been wiped out. Who makes us pay the price?"

"What kind of trap is this? An illusion?"

Han Ze glanced at her and strode down the stone steps. "This time is different."

"It's neither a trap, nor an illusion, nor a formation."

"This time it's... the curse of the Curse Crow Clan, the strongest one!"

"Then I'll have to take a look." Ning Ruan became interested.

She doesn't care about spiritual weapons or elixirs.

But the spell... the quality depends on your taste.

This time the stone stairs are longer than before.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a staggering figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Immortal weapon, I got the immortal weapon! I have the immortal weapon!"

"Hahaha, what genius, what destiny? You all must kneel at my feet!"

"You ants don't deserve it! Only I! Only I am the one destined for it!"

"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here! I'll kill anyone who dares to steal my magical weapon! Kill! Kill all of you!"

The distance is getting closer.

The appearance of the person coming became clearer and clearer.

"How...how could he be a fellow Daoist from the Blood Bat Clan?"

Mo Feng's extremely horrified voice echoed in the dim stone staircase corridor.
