One person: I am Lin Bai, good at using a hundred skills!

With these subtle clues, Lin Bai and Lao Xiao finally walked out of the maze-like path.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, something strange happened!

“Ouch!”

A long wolf howl suddenly sounded from the depths of the dense forest.

Then there was another sound, and two more... echoing in the empty primeval forest, making people panic.

"Oh no! It's a pack of wolves!"

Lin Bai's face changed and he quickly drew the sword from his waist.

Lao Xiao also tensed his muscles and prepared to meet the enemy.

Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the forest.

Countless black shadows came whistling in the wind, and surrounded the two of them in the blink of an eye!

This group of phantom wolves are born with strange shapes.

His body was as black as ink, covered with strange patterns, and his eyes glowed with a faint green light, giving off a spooky aura.

What’s even more terrifying is that their bodies can actually grow or shrink with the sound of the wind, sometimes as huge as an elephant, and sometimes as small as an ant.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were surrounded!

"What the hell is this?"

Lin Bai was horrified.

In his perception, although these wolves were just illusions, they were definitely not ordinary creatures.

The evil aura they exude alone is enough to make people breathless.

"Be careful!"

Just when Lin Bai was distracted, a phantom wolf suddenly attacked.

It kicked its limbs, and its huge body instantly rose several feet high, and it pounced on its prey with great momentum.

At the same time, dozens of Phantom Wolves responded.

They leaped and ran, like a black whirlwind, attacking the two from all directions!

In a hurry, Lin Bai quickly used the Immortal Sword Technique.

A long sword with a flashing green light appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He took a deep breath, tapped his toes lightly, and moved quickly among the wolves like a nimble elf.

The sword flashed like lightning, invincible. Wherever it passed, no grass grew!

Lin Bai's sword was extremely fast, and by the time the Phantom Wolf noticed, the blade had already pierced its throat.

No matter how ferocious the monster is, it is nothing more than a ghost under his sword.

The graceful and agile movements, the precise and fierce swordsmanship, and the indomitable momentum are simply breathtaking!

At the same time, Lao Xiao was not idle either. He took a horse stance, put his hands together, and clapped them to his chest.

"open!"

With a loud shout, a surge of energy burst out from his palm.

It immediately transformed into a golden beam of light, covering all the phantom wolves within a few feet around it from top to bottom.

All I heard was a sharp howl from the wolves, which then turned into black smoke and dissipated in the golden light.

The originally ferocious wolf king was also defeated by this powerful Buddha power.

The two men fought bloody battles, each fighting against a hundred.

Lin Bai's sword dance is like a dragon, as if he is a god descending to earth.

Lao Xiao's palms were mighty powerful, opening and closing them with great force, showing his great compassion.

Gradually, the Phantom Wolves were defeated under this attack.

Only the leading wolf king was left. Although he was covered with wounds, he still refused to admit defeat and kept chasing Lin Bai.

“Where are you escaping!”

Lin Bai sneered and suddenly drew his sword.

With a flash of green light, the wolf king's left front leg was broken! There was blood all over the place and it was in unbearable pain.

However, in the blink of an eye, Lin Bai keenly discovered something.

It turns out that every time the wolf king is severely injured, he will have a short period of weakness.

And every time this happened, the strange aura on its body would weaken a lot.

“There’s hope!”

Feeling relieved, Lin Bai immediately repeated his moves, focusing on attacking the wolf king's weaknesses. After repeated attacks, the wolf king's defense finally showed a flaw.

At this time, Lao Xiao, who had always cooperated tacitly, also seized the opportunity and hit the Wolf King hard in the face with a palm of great compassion.

boom!

Golden light fell and the wolves came to worship.

In an instant, the wolf king was beaten to pieces and turned into black smoke, which dissipated between heaven and earth.

"It's done!"

Lin Bai and Lao Xiao smiled at each other and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"It's just a fantasy, how dare it block our way."

Lin Bai sheathed his sword proudly.

"That's right. If you don't practice well enough, you will inevitably be confused by the scene in front of you. Only by understanding your mind and seeing your nature can you see through all the illusions."

Lao Xiao agreed with a smile.

As he was speaking, a strange light suddenly flashed where the wolf king disappeared.

When I looked closely, I found it was an ancient and elegant jade pendant!

It is carved with intricate patterns, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"This is......"

Lin Bai picked up the jade pendant curiously.

"Could it be some treasure?" Old Xiao came forward and looked at it carefully.

There was a line of small characters engraved on the back of the jade pendant, which read: "The mind is clear and bright, and it is derived from it."

"Could this be the clue that will lead us through the customs?" Lin Bai's eyes lit up.

“Maybe it’s a hint for the next level.”

"Look at the words 'take it from above'. Maybe it means we should continue to move upwards."

Old Xiao stroked his beard and pondered, thinking...

Having said this, the two no longer had any doubts.

"Anyway, let's get out of this strange forest first. With this jade pendant, I think I have some direction."

Lin Bai said this and carefully put away the jade pendant.

So, the two of them perked up and continued to walk through the primeval forest.

However, this time, it was no longer as thrilling as before.

As if guided by the jade pendant, the fog around us gradually dissipated and the scenery became clearer.

The road under my feet became wider and flatter, and the breeze from the forest brushed my face, refreshing my heart.

Soon, the two walked out of the fantasy forest.

Looking back, all the illusions behind me were quickly dissipating.

The towering ancient trees, the lush green vines...all turned into starlight and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Instead, there is an open and bright hall.

In the middle of the hall stood a majestic Buddha statue, shining with golden light.

There is a huge incense burner in front of the Buddha statue, with green smoke curling up and emitting a faint sandalwood scent.

"Looking at this posture, could it be that he has passed the third test?"

Lin Bai murmured to himself.

But before he could be happy, Lao Xiao frowned.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Feel it carefully, the temperature in this hall is not right."

He stretched out his hand to the incense burner and said solemnly...

After saying that, he actually took off his outer robe!

Lin Bai then realized that his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and the air around him was so hot that it was suffocating.

“What’s going on?”

Just as the two were puzzled, a loud rumbling noise suddenly came from deep within the hall.

Then, a stream of hot air, accompanied by billowing smoke, surged out from the dark passage!

"Oh no, get out of the way!"

Old Xiao reacted very quickly and pulled Lin Bai behind the incense burner.

At this critical moment, the palace door burst open.

The surging lava gushed out of the passage like a fountain, instantly filling the entire hall!

"Oh My God!"

Lin Bai looked at the scene in horror.

The bluestone slabs on the ground were burned by the lava and white smoke was rising. The whole hall seemed to be melting in this purgatory-like high temperature!

On the other side, Lao Xiao looked solemn.

"It seems that passing the test of enlightenment is just to enter here..."

He muttered, his eyes sweeping over the hellish scene before him.
