"Someone has gone in first, should we change our plans?"

"No, just follow the original plan."

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Hou Ying explained: "For mortals, the Phoenix Nest is like a dragon, pond, tiger, and tiger's den. Starting from the entrance of the nest, to reach the phoenix's habitat, you need to break through the seventh floor of the ban, and the Four Symbol Array is the last floor. I just discovered it. The group of people have just broken through the second floor of the ban, and it is still early to the seventh floor."

Liu Xing said: "Just just passed the second floor...but they are still ahead of us."

Hou Ying smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't have to break through the entrance layer by layer like them. Although my little sister's magic power is low, I can still send a few people directly to the inside of the nest. Everyone just needs to remember the method of breaking the array and break the Four Symbol Array. After sending a few brothers in, my little sister will do her best to suppress the temperature inside the nest and buy time for everyone as much as possible."

Li Qi was more careful and realized that it seemed that Hou Ying suppressed the temperature in the nest. He asked, "Yingying, please tell me the brothers first. How long can I suppress the temperature?"

"Half incense stick."

In ancient times, a stick of incense was about an hour, which means that Hou Ying could only hold on for up to 30 minutes.

Li Qi frowned: "Half incense stick, I have to break the formation and find the Phoenix Feather. Time is a bit tight..."

Hou Ying was also helpless and smiled bitterly: "The power of the divine beast is unfathomable. This is because the phoenix can only sleep after the Nirvana. If it exceeds half a stick of incense, my little sister may not be able to catch it. After breaking through the Four Symbol Formation and getting the Phoenix Feather, I will teleport you out again; before I can continue to suppress the temperature in the nest, I will force you out regardless of whether there is or not. So please speed up, brothers."

A Niu nodded: "It should be fine, it's fine if you can't get the Phoenix Feather, but you must not have any problems."

After they were sure to complete the preparation, Hou Ying waved her sleeves and the four of them disappeared from the entrance.

"boom!"

Another ball of fire snake burst into the passage, and three unlucky guys were hit directly by the fire. Unfortunately, they turned into candles and burned quickly under the cover of the hot light. The fire was extremely fierce, and the screams came to an abrupt end as soon as they were exhaled. After a moment, only a little ashes were left on the ground, and the three people were burned to pieces.

This is the third level of ban. Be careful along the way, but there are still inevitably losses. So far, the team has been reduced by one quarter. These people are dead soldiers in the dog group. In the country of Yema, the dog group means elites, death and strength. The dead soldiers in the dog group have always been known for their courage and fearlessness, but the experience of this trip is so bizarre and weird. Let's see what makes them lose their personnel: fire snakes, fire silkworms, fire rats... are all fire monsters, and none of them are normal. Even if the dead soldiers face the power they cannot understand, they will instinctively be afraid.

Fear, panic, spreading in the team.

The Tianshouli Man's face was red and his hair was half burned, which also made his originally beautiful hairband look a little redundant. The Tianshouli Man knew the purpose of this operation, and they made sufficient preparations. He thought he could get it right, but the cruel reality made him know. The power of the Middle Earth divine beast was far beyond his imagination. The Tianshouli Man had already pulled back in his heart. If it were his leader, he would retreat without hesitation. The Tianshouli Man was the leader of the dog group. In his opinion, this place was not what the dog group should come from at all. It was a complete irresponsible manifestation, which was simply murder!

Unfortunately, he is not the leader of this operation.

The Tianshouli Man's eyes turned to the other person.

It was a woman with a fair face. Her red lips were as bloody as blood, her nose was tall, her eyebrows were almost faint and invisible, and her long hair was as sagging as silk. At first glance, she looked very young, but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes betrayed her age. Her actual age should be over thirty years old. Although her chin was a little baby fat, she was still an absolute beauty. She had a special temperament, especially those eyes, which seemed to have never found the focal length, blurry, and empty, as if there was only a body here, and her mind had already flew away.

She was very quiet. No matter what happened to the team or how many people died, she never said anything. She was like a messenger from the underworld, emitting a strange aura all over her body, and no one dared to disobey her, because she was Humihu, she was the queen of the Evil Matai Kingdom, and a witch who ruled the country by ghosts.

"Queen, this loss is too great, can it be..."

Before Tianshouli's words were finished, Humihu had turned sideways and looked ahead of the passage.

The wrist was turned lightly, and the black fog churned between her fingers. Soon, a little ghost formed in the black fog. The little ghost's fangs and claws appeared. As soon as it appeared, its green eyes looked around and found that there were many strangers around. The little ghost's mouth squeaked and dripped, and his saliva kept dripping, and he was happy. Humihu quickly let it suffer, and it was not until the little ghost kept begging. After this, the little ghost became much more honest and opened the way forward in a regular manner.

The man with Tianshou did not dare to say anything more, and waved his hand. The dog team died one after another, but no one dared to get close to the little ghost and always kept a certain distance.

Humihu quickly joined the team. Around her, several handsome men in casual clothes acted as guards with a flattering look on their faces, and seemed to be extremely caring. The man with Tianshou had no good feelings for these men. These people were all guest guests of Humihu. These male lovers had almost zero combat power, but they had a lot of experience in trying to cheer for Humihu so much. As long as there was no battle, they would almost keep making noise.

"Damn it, why is it so hot? If this continues, the skin will dry..."

"Shut up, Her Majesty the Queen didn't complain!"

"You idiot, did I talk about myself? I'm just worried about Her Majesty's skin!"

As the queen, Himehu has many male favorites. Although whether a male favorite can gain power depends mainly on physical capital, they compete fiercely with each other. A male favorite who does not know how to compete for favor is not a good male favorite. Their jealous ugly appearance makes the man with Tianshouli even more goose bumps all over his body.

Seeing that Humihu had no intention of retreating, the man with Tianshou had to grit his teeth and follow, and the team continued to move forward.

Li Qi moved forward cautiously in the Four Symbol Formation.

In the astronomical theory of yin and yang, the four symbols refer to the natural weather of the four seasons, namely Shaoyang, Sun, Shaoyin, and Taiyin. In Chinese mythology, the four symbols first refer to gold, wood, water and fire, Tai Chi gives birth to two yin and yin and yang give birth to four symbols. Tai Chi refers to chaos, the two yin and yang, and yin and yang give birth to four symbols. In traditional Chinese culture, the four symbols refer to the blue dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, and black tiger, representing four directions, southeast, west and north, respectively, which originated from the ancient Chinese star belief.

The ancients imagined the twenty-eight constellations as the images of four animals in a direction.

The seven constellations in the East are like giant dragons flying in the night sky in early spring and early summer, called the Azure Dragon;

The seven Western constellations: like a tiger jumping out of the night sky in late autumn and early winter. It is called the white tiger;

The seven constellations in the south are like a big bird with spreading its wings and flying, called the Vermillion Bird;

The seven constellations in the north: It seems that turtles and snakes appear in the night sky in the cold winter and early spring, and are called Xuanwu.

According to the direction, "up, north, south, south, west, right, east", so there is the saying "the left, the white tiger on the left, the vermilion bird on the front, and the black twilight on the back". The theory of Four Symbols was widely used in ancient times. The five elements and eight trigrams after it were the roots of the theory of Tai Chi, Liangyi, and Four Symbols.

Li Qi knew very little about the Four Symbols Theory, and he was fully focused and did not dare to be careless at all.

After experiencing the trial of the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum, Li Qi still remembers the journey of breaking the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Array. The difficulty of that experience will never be forgotten. Although Hou Ying said that the temperature of the Phoenix Nest will cause great trouble to the intruders, and the Phoenix is ​​the biggest killer weapon, therefore, the difficulty of the previous several layers of bans is relatively lower, and the difficulty of the Four Symbol Array is not as terrifying as the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Array, Li Qi knows that the so-called simplicity is relative. In any case, the Four Symbol Array is definitely not low as the last ban in the Phoenix Nest!

In the Four Symbols Formation, the red light is everywhere, just like the ubiquitous flowing fire, hot and wild.

Although Hou Ying suppressed it, the heat in the Four Symbol Array was still beyond the reach of ordinary people. Li Qi had already used his internal energy. The vigorous internal energy formed a thin film on the surface of his body. That's it, sweat still fell down and then quickly evaporated, and Li Qi's lips were chapped. He was extremely uncomfortable.

Don't stay here for a long time!

The blue shirt flew, and Li Qi moved quickly in the Four Symbol Formation.

Hou Ying was 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 do not touch the mechanism, you basically don’t need to fight. Of course, the four divine beasts that guard the Four Symbol Formation must not be provoked. Just in the open space less than a hundred steps in front of Li Qi, a white giant tiger with a hill high was sleeping soundly. It was the White Tiger that guarded the Left Formation. It didn’t move at all, and it seemed that there was no danger, but its whole body exuded an unparalleled aura of danger.

"Go forward seven steps, turn right three, jump back two steps away, and crawl eleven steps..."

"Well, you have to jump three feet here, click the fourth, eighth, and eleventh bronze bell in the air. When you land, you must have your right foot**..."

"Tear off the second tassel in the second row, take three steps back, three right, three right, three right, and three right, and then pull off the fifth last in the fourth row...Okay!"

Li Qi remembers to break the formation method thoroughly.

Ten minutes later, he finally came to the center of the formation.

It was a small altar, made of milky white stones. In the four symbol formation where flames were raging, these stones emitted a cold light. When they approached the altar, they felt a sense of chill. In the center of the altar, there was a black stone platform, and a tiger talisman was displayed on the stone platform. Judging from its shape, it was quite similar to the white tiger sleeping soundly in this formation.

It's here!

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He jumped to the altar without hesitation, drew his sword, and after a cold light, the tiger talisman became a piece of fragments!

After completing all this, Li Qisuxing sat cross-legged on the altar, exerting his skills and regulating his breathing.

"This formation is indeed very fierce, and it is hard to be hot. I have consumed a lot of internal energy all the way. Only the altar in the formation is suitable for meditation and breathing. The four formations are almost the same difficulty. I believe that the elder brother, third brother, and fourth brother will be able to reach the center of the formation soon. As long as you break the other three places of the array pressing object, the Four Symbol Formation will be broken..."

Li Qi's guess was right. Wang Yue and Liu Xing also successfully completed their respective tasks, with a time difference of less than 5 minutes. As long as a city lord cleared the last object of the formation, they could enter the phoenix's shelter and look for the phoenix's feathers!

However, 15 minutes passed, and the prompt to break the formation did not appear for a long time.

The Four Symbol Formation is so "simple". As long as a master-level martial artist is careful, it is impossible for problems to occur. Wang Yue and others were shocked and thought at the same time: A Niu might have encountered trouble. With the water spirit beads to protect him and teleportation, A Niu should be walking on the flat ground in the Four Symbol Formation. Theoretically, no problems should occur. However, although a certain city lord was extremely smart, he was an absolute ignorant. He had made many jokes. I remember the trial of the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum. That guy also ran around like a headless fly, which made Wang Yue and others speechless.

Although the air on the altar was cool, Ah Niu sweated like slurry.

He rarely did not go the wrong path. It took only 5 minutes to reach the altar, even 3 minutes earlier than Wang Yue. However, 10 minutes have passed so far. A Niu still failed to complete the last step and broke the Suzaku Talisman!

For a strange hero like Wang Yue, Li Qi and Liu Xing, it is just a jail of raising his hands. As long as the sword is unsheathed, the talisman of the talisman will shatter like fireworks. However, a certain city lord does not have the skills of them. A Niu is just a player and a weak alchemist. When he took out a long-lasting staff and smashed it hard at the Vermilion Bird Talisman, but his wrist was numb by the recoil force, A Niu knew it was broken, and he had a bad premonition. He surrounded him unstoppable.

A Niu did not give up, so he jumped onto the stone platform and used all his strength to smash the Vermilion Bird Talisman. However, the player's ability in the game depends on the attribute value and points. For the alchemist profession with magic output as the primary goal, the attribute points must be added to intelligence, spirit and physical strength. No one will add force. If anyone accidentally adds mistakes, the most likely choice is to die once quickly, and level up again after downgrading, so that the points will be added correctly in the next upgrade.

After a few minutes of hard knocking, the silk of the Vermilion Bird's rune did not move.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there were only thirty minutes in total!

what to do?

A Niu was anxious and uneasy. You must know. In order to convince Hou Ying to start this trip to the Flame Mountain, A Niu worked a lot of effort. In the end, with Zilong's help, Hou Ying reluctantly agreed. In order to get the Phoenix Feather, A Niu even asked the three brothers to take action at the same time. He tried his best and prepared well, but he did not expect that this damn array-pressing talisman would need to be broken with pure physical power.

The phoenix sleeps once a hundred years, which is an opportunity once a hundred years!

A Niu absolutely cannot accept failure.

If physical attacks are not good, then try the spell!

A Niu gritted his teeth, raised his staff, and a pillar of fire was knocked on the Vermilion Bird Talisman, "Bangbangbang!"

“-1,-1,-1!”

Three "-1" damage values ​​popped up in a row, as well as the blood bars displayed by the Vermilion Bird Talisman, which made a city lord cry without tears. Even if A Niu didn't PK and level up, it could be seen at a glance that it was impossible to clear the blood bars of the Vermilion Bird Talisman with the damage of the Fire Column. Moreover, the Fire Column is a high-level skill with great blue consumption. Even if the time is enough, A Niu did not bring much blue medicine. The Fire Column is the skill with the highest single damage and the highest number of attacks mastered by A Niu. In fact, the Fire Column is still the strongest output skill of the Alchemist players at present. Even the Fire Column can only cause such pitiful damage, other skills...

Wait, other skills?

The fire-collection pillar is a fire-attribute attack. This is the Phoenix Nest, and there are abundant fire clouds everywhere. No matter how strong the fire-attribute attack is, the lethality here will be reduced to the point where it is unbearable. The flame-attribute spell is definitely not good, and perhaps other spells are more effective!

Lotus,-1!

Tornado,-8,-8!

Demon-Slaying Sword,-26!

In desperation, A Niu didn't care about so much. According to the skill learning level, he tried one by one from high to low. Lianhua, which can be learned at level 36, can only deal 1 damage. A Niu was not surprised. After all, Lianhua is also a fire-attribute attack, but the level 32 tornado only deals 16 points, and the level 30 Demon-slaying Sword only deals 26 damage. A certain city lord's heart was cold.

continue!

Poison Smoke Curse,-4!

Tai Chi Gate,-5!

Diquan:-89!

Tornado Blade,-8!

Fireball Technique,-1!

The low-level skill Diquan, which can be learned at level 18, actually deals 89 damage, which is indeed the first in attributes!

Water overcomes fire!

After testing all the skills, A Niu dared not waste time. His staff swayed, and Earthly Springs continued to appear. After silently calculating the casting speed, damage value, and the total blood bar of the Vermilion Bird Talisman, a city lord came up with the judgment result: Since Earthly Springs is a primary skill, it is fast to start, has a short cooling time, and has a low blue consumption. It is hoped that this damn Vermilion Bird Talisman will be knocked out about 20 minutes after entering the Four Symbol Formation!
To be continued...
