"The origin is almost completely consumed?"

The content of that sentence made Qiu Yan pay attention and was a little surprised. This article was first published by . .

He came here this time for the rumored origin. If the origin is no longer there, wouldn't it be a wasted trip? Moreover, some subsequent plans can only be abandoned.

"If the origin is consumed, what is it consumed on? According to them, what is it to be "fed" and what kind of creature can devour the origin? It's a pity that they didn't tell me that the analyzed content is fragmented and unsystematic." Thinking of this, Qiu Yan's Qingfeng hid aside again and waited quietly--

Obviously, he knew that he had encountered guards again. Unlike the outermost guards, the deeper he went, the more strange the guards were. At the beginning, it was a whirlwind of qi and blood, but now it has become a group of blood balls.

The blood ball contained a clear intelligence, which could not only penetrate the soil like running water, but also sense the most subtle changes in the soil. At this time, even if there was a little thought in the breeze transformed by Qiu Yan's consciousness, it would alert the other party. This had caused a big crisis before. Fortunately, Qiu Yan responded calmly and was not deceived by the other party's words.

The action pattern of the blood ball was also different from the initial Qi and Blood Cyclone, but Qiu Yan also roughly understood their way of action - sneaking all the way, Qiu Yan had already recorded the encounters along the way, listed, sorted, added some guesses and analysis, and formed a simple search map - compared to the Qi and Blood Cyclone that acted alone, this kind of blood ball was more accustomed to traveling together, often in groups of three or two, patrolling together. When they patrolled, they would communicate directly through their thoughts. This kind of dialogue, because it acts on the spirit, does not require words. It can be clearly understood and easily captured by others.

However, many blood balls along the way were communicating about irrelevant things, which did not attract Qiu Yan much, but the content of the two blood balls that were communicating at the moment made him pay attention.

Therefore, after he lurked, he still concentrated his mind to capture the thoughts and fluctuations that were emitted by the two blood balls when they were talking.

When this kind of blood ball moves forward, it actually penetrates and travels through the soil in the form of liquid while maintaining its shape. The movement along the way will be detected by the liquid, but Qiu Yan can still avoid it when he remains still and converges his thoughts. During this period, he can still receive and capture the emotional fluctuations of the outside world.

In this way, in the middle of the two blood balls passing through. He received some information intermittently-

"...The blood sea has even declined a lot because of this..."

"...I don't know how long the emperor's retreat will last this time..."

"...It seems that the monster that was born in the blood sea more than a hundred years ago to be refined by the emperor this time..."

...

These information are fragmented, but they gradually allowed Qiu Yan to sort out a train of thought.

"A monster in the sea of ​​blood? Could it be that the origin was fed to it? What kind of monster is this? Who is the 'great emperor' they are talking about? Is he the one who wanted to destroy Sixian? This great emperor wants to refine the monster. Is it to stop the decline of the sea of ​​blood?"

Questions flashed through his mind one by one. At the same time, the content of the conversation between the two blood groups had changed and they had already moved away. Qiu Yan did not follow and continue to listen, but waited until the other party walked away, and then shook lightly. Continue to float inward.

"It seems that this exploration may still have some intelligence gains, but if the origin is really not much left, it will not be easy to get it, but since we are here, we must explore it clearly."

With this thought, he continued to go deep into the soil and soon saw some guards again.

This blood ball guard is much higher than the Qi and Blood Cyclone. Qiu Yan did not use his perception to detect it for the sake of concealment, but just from the scattered breath, pressure, and some details of the two, it can be seen that this blood ball is at least one level higher than the Qi and Blood Cyclone!

"The Qi and Blood Cyclone's cultivation is probably at the peak of the second level of life cultivation, which is equivalent to refining the seven souls, and the center of these blood balls can faintly see the kidney fire, which is obviously the third level of life cultivation. If I continue to dive, can I still encounter the fourth level, or even the fifth level of guards? With that level of cultivation, even if I turn into a breeze, I may not be able to escape detection."

Through the analysis of the experience along the way and the establishment of the patrol map, Qiu Yan roughly saw some signs. In the outermost area, the number of Qi and Blood Cyclone is large and the density is very high, while the blood balls are traveling together, and the density has decreased, but the detection range of the two is incomparable, and the latter has a wider detection range.

In Donghua, there may be many cultivators in the second realm, but not many can reach the peak. In comparison, there are even fewer cultivators in the third realm. Although Qiu Yan has seen many, that is a natural thing after his realm is high. Before entering the circle, it is difficult to contact a certain level, but once you enter the circle, you will see a different scenery.

Soon, after Qiu Yan continued to dive for a while, his guess finally became a reality. The guards of the fourth realm of life cultivation finally appeared-this is a kind of spiritual intelligence thing that is close to solid, like a drill, slender and fast, shuttling underground, leaving a long and thin trace wherever it passes, and there is also a faint breath left in it, which is obviously connected to their perception.

Qiu Yan couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of exploration method is much more complicated than liquid penetration..."

The reason is actually very simple. The cone-shaped guards did not just start patrolling today, but have been patrolling here for an unknown amount of time. The slender traces in the land are crisscrossed and densely packed, almost everywhere, and the entire underground is almost penetrated by this.

Fortunately, the soil here is unusually thick and solid, and it will collapse from time to time to cover up some traces. Otherwise, this place would have become an empty cave long ago.

Qiu Yan just walked through the limited mud and sand to avoid the crisscrossing traces. Even so, with the cone-shaped sensing range of the fourth realm and the rapid speed, this place was still full of dangers. Fortunately, it was different from the previous two. Compared with the guards, the number of such guards is not large.

There are not many, but it is not optimistic. The fourth level masters who are very scarce in Donghua Continent may not account for a large proportion in such a vast land as the Blood Prison. However, what Qiu Yan is approaching is the original land. , is a more important place in the Blood Prison, and the number of guards gathered here must be considerable.

Fortunately, the area where the original thing is located is not too small, but the density of the guards is thinned, so it is not without blind spots.

Qiu Yan was walking slowly, and slowly, in his perception, a great momentum appeared, but this momentum was quite restrained, with a feeling of being imprisoned, closed, and difficult to completely explode. , which made Qiu Yan feel a little familiar.

"Huh? This aura is similar to that of the Heart Ape. There is a little order in the chaos..."

………………

In Donghua Continent, with Qiu Yan leaving the palace, the rumors and commotion in the capital had somewhat subsided. With the cooperation of several prime ministers, the affairs in the palace did not affect the front line after all.

However, few people know that it is not only the people in the palace and court who really determine Dali's fate. It is not just the soldiers fighting on the front line that affect the safety of the country, but also the will of the people far away in the stars.

"Master, please rest assured. This old slave will definitely go and make the truth in the palace known to the world. We will no longer let a bunch of women and eunuchs deceive the world!"

In the secret room of Zhang Mansion, Zhang Lian kowtowed solemnly, then stood up and left the room.

On the other side, in the innermost single courtyard of Prince Ding's Mansion, there were layers of blood flickering, but they were shrouded by an invisible barrier that would not spread to the surrounding areas. Even the dragon's aura was not disturbed.

In the single courtyard, the extraordinary-looking King Ding was kneeling on the ground with a frightened look on his face, whispering to the bloody light in the air, quite frightened.

"Yes, yes, sir, please rest assured. I'll do it now. I won't be sent back this time just because of a few words from the palace..."

After these words fell, a series of fluctuations of thoughts came out in the blood-colored light, making King Ding's face become paler and paler, but his eyes showed a look of ecstasy, and then he knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support! This is such a kindness and virtue. , will never be forgotten!”

Not long after, King Ding stood up from the ground, took a few deep breaths, calmed down his chaotic thoughts, and then called out: "Here comes, get ready, I am going to enter the palace immediately!"

On the other side, in the Hanlin Academy, there was also a bit of black light flickering, which was suppressed by the energy of literature and thought and could not reveal its original appearance. But even so, there was still a bit of black energy condensed from the human heart, floating up from an inkstone. The winding changes in mid-air reveal all kinds of information——

Sitting at the table with the inkstone was an expressionless Han Bian. He understood the message coming from the inkstone and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Demon Lord, Demon Lord, if you act like this, you will make someone alert."

After the words fell, cause and effect were involved, and there was the banning effect in Han Bianhun, Qiu Yan felt it immediately. His flesh and blood body walked out of the room and entered the study that had just been tidied up - now he has moved in There was quite a bit of criticism in the court about the new palace, but due to the affairs in the palace, no one had bothered to worry about it for the time being.

"What I did in the Blood Prison should have aroused the vigilance of some people. They have chess pieces in Donghua. In this way, the competition will be who is faster!"

When he finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from the book, spread it out, and the artistic conception spread out immediately. The word "blood" was written on the paper, but there were a few strokes beside the word, not one word. It's exactly what Qiu Yan wrote in his old house!

Looking at the words, brewing his thoughts, Qiu Yan raised his hand and grasped it in vain. The pen words were stained with ink and flew towards him. He caught them and clicked them on the paper! (To be continued...)
