I can gather experience beads

Just as Cao Rui put away his magic sword, the fog around him seemed to be affected by some mysterious force 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 mist formation?"

Although he was confused, he did not let down his guard.

After all, this is the Tianji Fortress, and anything can happen.

In order to ensure his own safety, Cao Rui decided to quickly move towards the central area.

Along the way, the fog around us dissipated at an astonishing speed, and the field of vision continued to expand.

As his vision expanded, Cao Rui was surprised to find that there were not only puppet fragments on the ground, but also the corpses of many monsters and monks.

Many people who entered the Tianji Fortress died.

Most of the monks who entered the Tianji Fortress this time have died.

The danger level of this Tianji Fortress is beyond imagination.

Continuing to fly forward, Cao Rui gradually approached the central area of ​​the fog formation.

At this time, the fog had completely dissipated, and a huge circular square appeared in front of him. The ground of the square was paved with ancient stone slabs, which were engraved with complex runes. This was the center area of ​​the fog array.

When we returned to the central area, all the fog had receded.

Zhang Heng and the other two were standing in the square in bewilderment, apparently confused by the retreating fog.

Cao Rui flashed over.

"Yu boy, what's going on? 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 either, let's rush to the exit first."

Cao Rui led the way and took the three people to the exit from the central area.

Along the way, we saw many remains and corpses of puppets.

"The three monsters are dead."

"Elder Bai of Yunshui Sect is dead."

"The monk over there is from Miaoyin Temple." Zhang Heng's voice was unusually serious.

After being smashed 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 feel secretly fortunate in his heart. If he had not followed Cao Rui into the Tianji Fortress this time, he might have failed in this first stage.

Not long after.

Cao Rui led the three of them to the exit they had expected.

What came into view were several neatly arranged teleportation arrays. These teleportation arrays did not look complicated, but upon closer inspection, one could see that four of them had lost their aura.

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, more experienced, and has some knowledge of various formations.

"Four of them have been activated. It is highly likely that Gu Qingying and the others have already entered the next level in advance."

A disposable teleportation array is a special teleportation array that is only for single-person use and will be destroyed immediately once used.

This type of teleportation array is usually used in certain specific occasions or tasks to ensure that participants can complete a certain stage of the test independently.

At this moment, Cao Rui keenly noticed that there seemed to be something inside the teleportation array.

He concentrated his spiritual sense and investigated carefully, and found that there was a ball of light quietly floating in the center of each teleportation array.

Cao Rui carefully extended his spiritual consciousness towards the ball of light, and the ball of light immediately gave four clear text messages: Rewards for passing the level!

Seeing this news, Cao Rui couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his teeth. It turned out that Tianjizi had set up a reward for passing the level here.

Several other people also probed their spiritual consciousness into the light ball and also received feedback information of "pass reward".

For a moment, everyone had different expressions.

"Is there no way to leave the Tianji Fortress and teleport to the outside world?" Tan Hongmei frowned and said at this time.

Seeing that this level was so dangerous and so many monks had died, Tan Hongmei had already begun to think 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 settings, nor is it a one-time teleportation array. Its location matches the gap in the array formation, so it should be the teleportation array that leaves the Tianji Fortress."

Tan Hongmei's eyes lit up when she heard this. She believed Cao Rui's words without a doubt: "Zhang Heng, let's leave. We are not worthy of the reward from Tianji Fortress."

Zhang Heng looked hesitant when he heard this.

"Why are you hesitating? Everyone in the Yunshui Sect died and only Gu Qingying is left."

"The monks at Miaoyin Temple are almost dead too."

"If Yu Yijian hadn't led us, we would probably be the first two to die," said Tan Hongmei.

The two of them were relatively old, were casual cultivators, and their skills were not very strong. The Tianji Fortress was so dangerous that it was obviously not suitable for them to take risks.

Zhang Heng looked at the reward on the teleportation array: "After all the hard work and risk, I didn't get the reward. I'm very unwilling."

The rewards on the teleportation array are covered by a magic circle, and even the object control technique cannot shake it.

Obviously, Tianjizi meant that you need to choose to enter the teleportation array and continue to the next level in order to get the reward.

At this time, Cao Rui patted his storage bag, and fifteen high-quality spirit stones appeared in front of him.

Cao Rui waved his hand, and the top-grade spirit stone was divided into three parts, flying towards Shi Shatian, Zhang Heng and Tan Hongmei.

"This is your share of spiritual stones."

"How can this be possible?" Tan Hongmei declined.

There was no problem for Shi Shatian to accept the spirit stones. Neither she nor Zhang Heng had contributed much, so how could she have the nerve to accept five top-grade spirit stones.

Five high-quality spirit stones are worth at least 60,000 spirit stones in the outside world. For a cultivator who is building a foundation, it is also a huge income.

"No need to say more, just accept it. If you don't pull me in, I may not be able to enter the Tianji Fortress." Cao Rui said.

Indeed, in the presence of the fourth-level demon cultivator Taoist Lanlong, if it weren't for the eccentric Zhang Heng who found a reason to drag Cao Rui in, Cao Rui would really have a headache about how to enter the Tianji Fortress.

The teleportation array of Tianji Fortress has been activated once, and the next activation will have to be next month.

Moreover, after the Tianji Fortress is opened this time, it is possible that you will be teleported directly 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 gave up the idea of ​​continuing to challenge the levels and decided to leave Tianji Fortress with Tan Hongmei.

"However, I suggest you wait a while before going out."

"Because of the teleportation array here, we don't know where it will take us. If it is the original location, Taoist Lanlong can wait there." Cao Rui reminded.

After hearing this, Tan Hongmei and Zhang Heng's expressions changed, and they finally decided to wait here for a while before going out.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, do you choose to continue to challenge the level?" Cao Rui looked at Shi Shatian.

Shi Shatian nodded gently: "Yes."

Compared with the pain during cultivation, the crisis in the Tianji Fortress is nothing.

Shi Shatian entered this place with only one purpose, which was to find an opportunity to advance to the Golden Elixir stage.

"it is good."

"That helps our luck."

Cao Rui nodded slightly, took a step and chose a teleportation array.

Cao Rui took a deep breath and flashed into the teleportation array. The teleportation array was immediately activated. The light ball inside shattered instantly, 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 and put the reward for passing the level into his storage bag.

Then the sky spun and the earth spun, the teleportation array was activated, and Cao Rui's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
