C248 Life and Death Choice
Qing Ruobing pointed with her finger and everyone looked in the direction she pointed. Sure enough, there was a black crow that was different from the others.
The other black crows had yellow beaks and black feathers. But this black crow had a black beaks and golden and black bird feathers. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this black crow's eyes actually flickered with a golden light!
Right at this moment, everyone saw that the special black crow's body suddenly trembled, and it seemed as if it couldn't help but fly towards Duan Tianya at an extreme speed.
In an instant, it had arrived in front of Duan Tianya.
The sudden change made everyone unable to react in time, but the special black crow's body suddenly shattered in front of Duan Tianya.
Only then did Duan Tianya loosen the thing in his hand. At this moment, when everyone looked closely, they discovered that there was an extremely thin thread wrapped around Duan Tianya's wrist!
It was likely that he had released the thread in an instant just now and had wrapped around the special black crow to pull it over. After which, he instantly tightened the thread. A powerful force allowed Yuan Qi to enter through the thread. It directly shattered the special body.
The special black crow in the flock died. The surrounding ordinary black crows were no longer as crazy as before. Instead, they gradually disappeared into the horizon. The surroundings returned to calm, as if the danger from earlier had not occurred.
He had originally thought that the cliff chain would pass just like that, but accidents would always suddenly descend.
"Bang..."
Four coffins came out of nowhere and laid on the sixteen chains, blocking Yan Lu and his group's path.
"What's going on?" Qing Ruobing looked at the four coffins in front of her and asked worriedly.
"Who dares to go up and try?" Yan Lu looked at the four coffins in front of him and said.
No one spoke after hearing Yan Lu's words. There were dangers everywhere on the cliff. Who would be willing to take the risk? If one was not careful, one would fall into a bottomless abyss and be eternally doomed.
Duan Tianya looked at Yan Lu's performance and sneered in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't have the strength to do so. It was just that he had to be on guard against Yan Lu at all times. This Yan Lu was like a hibernating poisonous snake. Who knew when he would suddenly wake up and bite you, giving you a fatal blow?
"Since the Fellow Daoist do not dare to come forward, then I will give it a try!" Yan Lu was also very anxious at this moment. According to his estimation, the danger just now had already passed. Now, in these four coffins... There must be a treasure hidden in one of the coffins.
If he were to fight for the first slot first, then the chances of him competing for the good fortune would be greater. If he really couldn't, he could open the coffin and attract the disaster to Duan Tianya and the others. Why not? Anyway, it was inconvenient for everyone to move on this iron chain.
As soon as Yan Lu finished speaking, he put away the iron coffin. His body suddenly accelerated, and his Yuan Qi surged out. Like a fire dragon, he rushed towards the four coffins in front of him.
Duan Tianya and the others knew that these four coffins were definitely extraordinary. At this moment, all of their eyes were focused on this coffin, and they wanted to see what kind of breakthrough Yan Lu would have.
"You're just trying to act mysterious. I want to see what secrets you have." Yan Lu walked to the front of the coffin and struck down with his palm.
"Buzz!" The coffin suddenly shook, and a bright light shone from it. Then, numerous golden spirit patterns emerged on the surface of the coffin. Then, an extremely strong rebounding force sent Yan Lu flying away.
If it wasn't for Yan Lu holding back to prevent any accidents from happening, given the power of the coffin, he would have fallen into a bottomless abyss by now.
"This is..." Yan Lu landed on the iron chain, and stared at the scene in front of him. Although he had barely made a trip to the gates of hell and managed to survive, the intense vibration still made him feel as if his blood and Qi were boiling.
The other three coffins on the iron chain shook at the same time, and in the next moment, the formation patterns appeared.
Then, under everyone's astonished eyes, the four coffins strangely stood up at the same time.
The four iron chains where Yan Lu had attacked earlier all broke with a bang.
Fortunately, Yan Lu was quick to react. When he heard the sound, his body moved and jumped towards one of the four iron chains in Duan Tianya's area. Only then did he escape.
However, just as everyone was in a state of shock, the coffin lid suddenly shattered. A Third Layer of Divine Dao Stage corpse puppet jumped out from the coffin!
"It seems like it's time for us to make our choice!"
Duan Tianya looked at the situation in front of him and instantly understood what this meant.
Every time you choose the wrong coffin, not only will the ghost inside be released, but four of the iron chains around the coffin will also be broken. There are a total of four coffins, which means that there are only four chances. If you choose the wrong coffin all four times, then the sixteen chains will all be broken. At that time, the result would be self-evident. Everyone present would fall into a bottomless abyss. They would be crushed into pieces!
Looking at the situation in front of them, everyone's hearts became heavy.
Four coffins, four chances. It seemed like there was still a high chance of success, but the reality was not satisfactory.
Every time they made a wrong choice, four less iron chains would be removed, and the space they could move in would become smaller. Furthermore, they had to deal with the Third Layer of Divine Dao Stage corpse puppet. Just think about it... If you made a wrong choice three times, then there would only be four iron chains left for the four of them to stand on. Each of them occupied one, and the space they could move around in was rather narrow. They couldn't fly, and they had to deal with three Third Layer of Divine Dao Stage corpse puppets!
If they made the wrong choice four times, it would be the end of their lives. Under the formation, they would die if they fell down.
Looking at the situation in front of them, everyone's heart became heavy. Even Qing Ruobing and Mo Wen looked at Yan Lu coldly.
"I think everyone should not act rashly. Let's think about which coffin the secret is most likely in!" Duan Tianya was afraid that the two women would start fighting with Yan Lu. For the sake of a temporary unification, at this time, he stood up and analyzed the situation.
After hearing what he said, everyone nodded their heads. After all, they only had four chances. Now that they had wasted one, they didn't want to make the wrong choice.
Everyone nodded their heads. They all walked towards the three coffins and observed them closely. Of course, no one touched the coffins. They could still clearly remember the scene of Yan Lu being sent flying.
Time passed minute by minute. In the blink of an eye, seven to eight minutes were almost up.
Everyone's expression was incomparably heavy. No one had noticed anything special about the coffins. Now, they had to make a choice. No one would feel safe on this iron chain. Staying longer than fifteen minutes would bring them more danger.
"Let me try first!"
Mo Wen saw that everyone did not move and after thinking for a moment, she walked towards the coffin closest to her.
"I hope it is this one!"
As she spoke, Mo Wen raised her delicate hand. Essence energy gathered in her palm and suddenly imprinted in the center of the coffin that was standing upright in front of her.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the four iron chains under Mo Wen's feet suddenly shattered and the four iron chains instantly disappeared.
The Drifting Cloud Yarn in Mo Wen's hand quickly twisted in all directions and turned into a cloth passage that stood on the other side of the iron chains.
Out of the sixteen iron chains, there were only eight left! Everyone still had two more chances!
The cloth passage suddenly pulled, pulling Mo Wen to a safe place. It was a false alarm.
It was very clear that Mo Wen chose the wrong one!
While everyone was complaining in their hearts, they also knew that this was something that could not be helped. Even someone like Mo Wen, who had always been steady, had chosen the wrong one. If it was anyone else who chose it, they would not have the confidence to succeed.
However, the coffin that was originally standing on the four chains did not fall into the abyss. Instead, it strangely floated in the air.
Suddenly, the coffin that Mo Wen chose shook.
The next moment.
"Bang!"
The entire coffin actually exploded with a bang...
In the next moment, a human-shaped puppet with a pair of fleshy wings flew out from within. Two sharp horns grew on both sides of its bald head. In the big mouth... Two tusks that looked like steel nails protruded out, and there was not a single strand of it on its body. His whole body was greyish white and there was nothing on his lower body. There was no gender, and there was a two-meter long tail on his waist and tail. The tip of the tail had a sharp thorn emitting a cold light!
At the same time, the corpse puppet that had exploded in the beginning actually flew onto the back of this humanoid puppet. The two of them actually merged into one!
"Puppet Flying Corpse!" Yan Lu cried out in shock. He had studied the puppets of Puppet Sect for a long time, and he immediately recognized them as soon as they appeared.
This Puppet Flying Corpse was very difficult to refine. There was a clear record in Puppet Sect that the cost of refining a Puppet Flying Corpse was too great!
"Fourth Layer of Divine Dao True Stage!!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they sensed the aura on the Puppet Flying Corpse. Everyone present was at the Third Layer of Divine Dao Stage. When faced with a Fourth Layer of Divine Dao Stage Puppet Flying Corpse, most of them didn't even have the courage to fight this undead flying corpse alone.
"Ao!" The Puppet Flying Corpse let out a hiss, then it flapped its wings and threw itself at everyone with the dried corpse.
At this moment, there was no need to say anything. No one dared to hesitate as they attacked one after another.
Duan Tianya's entire body burst out with light. Yuan Qi covered both of his fists. The long whip in Qing Ruobing's hands, Mo Wen's Drifting Cloud Yarn, Yan Lu's long sword... Without any hesitation, the group of people launched their attacks at the dried corpse and the Puppet Flying Corpse.
