"Someone went in first, should we change the plan?" "No, just stick to the original plan." Seeing everyone's expressions of confusion, Hou Ying explained: "To mortals, the Phoenix Nest is no different than the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den. From then on, Counting from the entrance of the lair, to reach the place where the Phoenix lives, you need to break through seven levels of restrictions. The Four Elephants Array is the last level. I just detected it. The group has just broken through the second level of restrictions. They are far away from the seventh level. It's still early." Liu Xing said: "We just passed the second floorbut they are still in front of us." Hou Ying said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we don't have to break through the entrance one by one like them. Although the girl has magic power. Lowly, you can still do it by sending a few people directly to the inside of the nest. You only need to remember the method of breaking the formation and break the Four Elephant Formation. After sending a few brothers in, the younger sister will try her best to suppress the temperature inside the nest. Buying time for everyone." Li Qi was more careful and realized that it was not easy for Hou Ying to suppress the temperature of the nest, so he asked: "Yingying, please tell your brothers how long you can suppress the temperature for." "Half Pillar? "In ancient times, one stick of incense lasted about an hour, which meant that Hou Ying could only hold on to it for 30 minutes at most. Li Qi frowned: "Half a stick of incense, we have to break the formation and find the feathers of the phoenix. Time is a bit tight" Hou Ying was also helpless and said with a wry smile: "The power of the divine beast is unfathomable. This is because of the phoenix's nirvana. You can barely do it in deep sleep. If you exceed half a stick of incense, I am afraid that my little sister is not strong enough. After breaking through the Four Elephants Formation and getting the Phoenix Feather, I will teleport you out again; before I can no longer suppress the temperature in the nest, no matter what. If you have the Phoenix Feather, I will force you out, so brothers, please hurry up." A Niu nodded: "It's okay if you can't get the Phoenix Feather. You must not have any problems." After everyone was sure that preparations were complete, Hou Ying waved her sleeves and the four of them disappeared from the entrance. "Boom!" Another fire snake exploded in the passage, and the three unlucky ones were directly hit by the fire. Misfortune turned into a candle, burning quickly under the blazing light. The fire was extremely fierce, and the screams stopped abruptly as soon as they were exhaled. After a while, there were only a few ashes left on the ground, and the three people were burned to the point of leaving no bones. This is the third level of restrictions. We have been careful along the way, but losses are inevitable. So far, the team has been reduced by a quarter. These people are all Inu-gumi warriors. In Yamatai country, Inu-gumi means elite, death and strength. The Dog Group Death Soldiers have always been known for their bravery and fearlessness, but the encounters on this trip were so bizarre and strange. Let¡¯s look at what reduced their numbers: fire snakes, fire silkworms, fire ratsall are fire spirits. No normal person, not even a dead soldier, faces a power they cannot understand. They will also be instinctively afraid. Fear and panic spread among the team. The man's face was red, and half of his hair was singed, which made his originally beautiful headband look a bit redundant. Tenshou Rikio knew the purpose of this operation, and they were fully prepared. They thought they could capture it, but the cruel reality made him realize. The power of the mythical beasts of Middle Earth far exceeded his imagination. Tenshou Rikio had already thought about retreating. If he were the leader, he would retreat without hesitation. Rikio Tenshou is the leader of the Inu Group. In his opinion, this place is not the place where the Inu Group should come. Let the elite dead soldiers of the Inu Group be burned to ashes here one by one. Totally irresponsible, this is simply murder! It¡¯s a pity that he is not the leader of this operation. The man's gaze turned to another person. It was a woman with a fair complexion. Her red lips are as red as blood, her nose is high, her eyebrows are like hooks but are almost invisible, and her long hair is as drooping as silk. She looks very young at first glance, but the almost invisible crow's feet at the corners of her eyes betray her age. Her actual age should be over thirty. Although she is a little baby fat on her chin, she is still an out-and-out beauty. She has a special temperament, especially her eyes, which seem to have never found focus, blurred and empty, as if what is here is just a body and her mind has already flown away. She is very quiet. No matter what happens in the team or how many people die, she never says a word. She is like a messenger from the underworld, exuding a strange aura. No one dares to disobey her, because she is Himihu, the queen of Yamatai Kingdom, and a witch who governs the country with ghosts. "Queen, this is too much of a loss, can you" Before Tianshou Linan finished speaking, Himihu had already turned sideways and looked towards the front of the passage. Flicking her wrist, black mist rolled between her fingers. Soon, a little ghost formed in the black mist. The little ghost had fangs and claws. As soon as the little ghost appeared, her green eyes looked around and found that there were many strangers around. The little ghost made a squeaking sound in his mouth, and his saliva kept dripping, looking like he was happy. Himihu quickly let it eatIt was difficult until the kid kept begging and begging before he gave up. After this incident, the kid became much more honest and started to clear the way ahead in an orderly manner. The Tenshou man did not dare to say any more, and waved his hand, and the dog group dead soldiers followed one after another. However, no one dared to get close to the kid, and they always kept a certain distance. Himihu quickly joined the team. Around her, several handsome men in casual clothes were fawningly guarding her, seemingly caring. The Tenshou man has no good impression of these men at all. These people are all guests of Himihu. These male favorites have almost zero fighting ability, but they are quite experienced in pleasing Himihu. As long as there is no fight, they will hardly do anything. Keep making noise. "Damn it, why is it so hot? Your skin will be dry if it continues like this" "Shut up, Her Majesty the Queen didn't even complain!" "You idiot, did I say anything about myself? I'm just worried about Her Majesty the Queen's skin!" As a queen, Himihu has many male favorites. Although whether a male favorite can be dominant mainly depends on physical capital, they are fiercely competitive with each other. Male favorites who don't know how to compete for favor are not good male favorites. Their ugly appearance of jealousy is even more embarrassing. Tenshou Rikiman had goosebumps all over his body. Seeing that Himiko showed no intention of retreating, Tenshou Rikio had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep up, and the team continued to move forward. Li Qi moved forward cautiously in the four-image array. In the astronomical yin and yang theory, the four phenomena refer to the natural phenomena of the four seasons, namely Shaoyang, Sun, Shaoyin and Taiyin. In Chinese mythology, the Four Symbols originally referred to metal, wood, water, and fire. Tai Chi gave rise to the two yangs, and the two yangs gave birth to the four xiangs. Tai Chi refers to chaos, the two poles refer to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang derive the four phenomena. The four elephants in traditional Chinese culture refer to the green dragon, white tiger, red bird and black tiger, which represent the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest respectively. This originates from the ancient Chinese star belief. The ancients imagined the twenty-eight constellations as the images of four animals according to their directions. The Qisu in the East is like a giant dragon flying in the night sky in spring and early summer, called Qinglong; the Qisu in the West is like a tiger leaping out of the night sky in late autumn and early winter. It is called white tiger; the seven places in the south are like a big bird flying with wings, which is called Suzaku; the seven places in the north are like turtles and snakes appearing in the night sky in cold winter and early spring, which are called Xuanwu. ?According to the orientation, "up, north, down, south, left, west, right, east", so there is a saying of "green dragon on the left, white tiger on the right, red bird on the front, and Xuanwu on the back". The four-image theory was widely used in ancient times. The Five Elements system and the Bagua system that followed it have their roots in Tai Chi, Liang Yi, and Four Symbols theories. Li Qi knew very little about the Four Symbols Theory. He concentrated on it and did not dare to be careless at all. Having experienced the trial in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, Li Qi still has fresh memories of the journey to break the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation. The difficulty of that experience will never be forgotten by Li Qi. Although Hou Ying said. The temperature of the phoenix nest will cause a lot of trouble for intruders, and the phoenix is ??the biggest killer. Therefore, the difficulty of the first few levels of restrictions is relatively lower. The difficulty of the four-image array is not as scary as the yin-yang and five-element array, but Li Qi knows that simplicity is relative, no matter what. As the last barrier to the Phoenix Lair, the Four Symbols Formation is definitely not easy to defeat! In the four-image array, everything you look at is red light, like flowing fire everywhere, hot and wild. Although Hou Ying suppressed him, the intense heat inside the Four Symbol Formation was still beyond the endurance of ordinary people, and Li Qi had already mobilized his inner energy. The powerful inner Qi forms a thin film on the surface of the body. That's it, the sweat was still pouring down, and then quickly evaporated, leaving Li Qi's lips chapped. Extremely uncomfortable. You can¡¯t stay here for long! With his green shirt flying, Li Qi moved quickly in the four-image array. Hou Ying is right. The Four Symbol Formation is simpler than the Yin Yang and Five Elements Formation. According to the method of breaking the formation, as long as you don't touch the mechanism, there is basically no need to fight. Of course, the four divine beasts guarding the Four Elephant Formation must not be provoked. In the open space less than a hundred steps in front of Li Qi, a giant white tiger with a height of a small mountain was sleeping soundly. It was the white tiger guarding the left formation. It was motionless. Look, There seemed to be no trace of danger, but his whole body exuded an unparalleled aura of danger. "Go forward seven steps, turn right three times, jump back two steps, and crawl down eleven steps" "Well, here you have to jump three feet, and click the fourth, eighth, and eleventh from the left in the air continuously. There is a copper bell, and you must stand with your right foot when landing" "Pull off the second tassel in the second row, take three steps back, third right, third right, third right again, and then pull off the fifth tassel from the bottom of the fourth row Okay!" Li Qi knows the method of breaking the formation by heart. Ten minutes later, he finally arrived at the center of the array. It was a small altar, made of milky white stones. In the four-image formation where the flames were raging, these stones gave off a cold light. As you approached the altar, you could clearly feel a chill. In the center of the altar, there is a black stone platform. On the stone platform, a tiger talisman is displayed. Looking at its shape, you can sleep soundly in this array.The white tiger is quite similar. This is it! Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He jumped onto the altar without hesitation and drew his sword. After a flash of cold light, the tiger talisman became a pile of fragments! After finishing all this, Li Qixing sat cross-legged on the altar, doing exercises and regulating his breath. "This formation is really fierce and the heat is unbearable. I have consumed a lot of internal energy by walking all the way. Only this altar in the formation has a suitable temperature. It is a good place to meditate and adjust the breath. The four formations are about the same difficulty. I guess the eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother We can reach the center of the formation soon. As long as we break the other three holding objects, the Four Elephants Formation will be broken" Li Qi's guess was correct. Wang Yue and Liu Xing also successfully completed their respective tasks, and the time difference was about the same. to 5 minutes. As long as a certain city lord clears out the last remaining enemy, they can enter the Phoenix's habitat and look for the Phoenix Feathers! However, 15 minutes have passed, and the formation breaking prompt has not appeared. The method of breaking the Four Elephant Formation was so "simple". As long as the master martial artist was careful, there would be no problems at all. Wang Yue and others were excited and thought in unison: A Niu might be in trouble. With water spirit beads to protect his body and teleportation, Aniu should be walking on flat ground in the Four Symbols Formation. In theory, there shouldn't be any problems. However, although a certain city lord is extremely shrewd, he still has a perfect way. Stupid, I have made a lot of jokes, I remember the trial in the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor. That guy was also running around like a headless fly, leaving Wang Yue and others quite speechless. Although the air above the altar was cool, Ah Niu was sweating profusely. Rarely, he did not go the wrong way, and it took him only 5 minutes to reach the altar, even 3 minutes earlier than Wang Yue. But, by now, 10 minutes have passed. Aniu still failed to complete the last step and break the Suzaku Talisman! For heroes like Wang Yue, Li Qi and Liu Xing, the talisman that can break the Four Symbols Formation is just a prison with a raised hand. As long as the sword is unsheathed, the talisman that holds the formation will shatter like fireworks. But. A certain city lord did not have the same skills as them, and A Niu was just a player, a weak alchemist. When he took out his long-unused staff and smashed it at the Suzaku Talisman, the force of the rebound made his wrist numb. At this time, Aniu knew something was wrong and had a bad premonition. Surrounding him irrepressibly. Ah Niu didn't give up, and simply jumped onto the stone platform and used all his strength to hit the Vermilion Bird Talisman. However, the player's ability in the game depends on attribute values ??and points, and the alchemist profession, whose primary goal is spell output, attributes Points must be added to intelligence, spirit and physical strength. Absolutely no one will use force. If someone accidentally adds the wrong points, the most likely option is to die immediately and level up again after downgrading so that he can add the correct points the next time he upgrades. After knocking for several minutes, the Suzaku Talisman did not move at all. Time passed by minute by minute, only thirty minutes in total! what to do? A Niu is anxious and restless, you know. In order to convince Hou Ying to start this trip to the Flame Mountain, A Niu spent a lot of effort, but in the end, with the help of Zilong, Hou Ying reluctantly agreed. In order to get the Phoenix Feather. A Niu even asked his three brothers to attack at the same time. They worked hard and prepared well, but they did not expect that this damn formation-holding talisman would need to be broken by pure physical power. The Phoenix sleeps once every hundred years, this is a once-in-a-hundred-year opportunity! A Niu absolutely cannot accept failure. If physical attacks don¡¯t work, try spells! Aniu gritted his teeth, raised his staff, and hit the Vermilion Bird Talisman with a pillar of fire, "Boom, boom, boom!" "-1, -1, -1!" Three "-1" damage values ??popped up in succession. And the health bar displayed by the Suzaku Talisman made a certain city lord want to cry without tears. Even if Ah Niu doesn't do much PK or leveling, he can tell at a glance that it would be impossible to clear the Suzaku Talisman's health bar with the damage of the Fire Pillar in just a few hours. Moreover, the Fire Pillar is a high-level skill and consumes mana. Amazing, even if he had enough time, Aniu didn't bring much blue medicine. The Fire Pillar is the skill that Aniu has mastered that has the highest single damage and the highest number of attacks. In fact, the Fire Pillar is still the strongest output skill for Alchemist players at present. Even the Fire Pillar can only cause such pitiful damage. Other skills etc. Wait, other skills? The Fire Pillar is a fire-attributed attack. This is the Phoenix's lair. There are abundant fire clouds everywhere. No matter how strong the fire-attributed attack is, the lethality here will be reduced to an unbearable level. Flame attribute spells definitely won't work, maybe other spells are more effective! Lotus, -1! Tornado, -8, -8! Demon Slaying Sword, -26! In desperation, A Niu didn¡¯t care about so much, and tried one by one according to the skill learning level, from high to low. The Lotus Flower that can be learned at level 36 can only deal 1 point of damage. A Niu is not surprised. After all, Lotus Flower also has a fire attribute attack, but the Level 32 Tornado only deals 16 points, and the Level 30 Demon Slayer Sword only deals 26 points of damage. The city lord's heart went cold. Continue! Poison Smoke Curse, -4! Tai Chi Gate, -5! Diquan: -89! Cyclone Blade, -8! Fireball, -1! The low-level skill Earth Spring, which can be learned at level 18, actually deals 89 points of damage. It is indeed the number one attribute! Water defeats fire! After testing all the skills, Aniu did not dare to waste any more time. He swung his staff and formed springs one after another. After silently calculating the casting speed, damage value, and the total health bar of the Suzaku Talisman, a certain city owner came to the conclusion: Since Earth Spring is an elementary skill with fast activation, short cooling time, and low mana consumption, there is hope that it will enter the Four Elephants. About 20 minutes after the formation, knock off this damn Suzaku Talisman! This means that after breaking the Four Symbols Formation, you only have ten minutes to find the Phoenix Feather. Time Aniu didn't think about it any more. It was useless to think about it too much. He could only do his best to grasp the present moment. On the altar where the Suzaku Talisman is placed, the sound of "gurgling" water continues. "Ah, help" A dog-gumi soldier was horrified to death and desperately called for help to his companions, but no one dared to save him. The only person here who had the ability to save him was Queen Himihu. Like Himihu who suffered from aphansia, she was very interested in him. Turning a blind eye to the encounter, he was quickly hit by a galloping fire bull. His body burned in the air, and then turned into a little ashes before he could hit the ground. He could only die like the unfortunate Inugumi soldiers in front of him. (http://.). The man with strong hands was panting like an ox. Half a minute ago, if he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have almost not been able to escape. In this foreign country, he would have become ashes. The man believed that if he had not escaped just now, the queen would not save him. Himihu uses ghost ways to govern the country, and her spells are very powerful. If she is willing to take action, many people will not have to die. But now, no one has expectations for this queen. Just now, just now, one of her male favorites was unfortunately exposed to the fire spirit. He was only three steps away from Himihu, but he also failed to receive help! She always has empty eyes and blurry eyes. Most of the time, her mind seems to be in another world. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ However, no one dared to show dissatisfaction with her. She is the queen. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
