C178 Labyrinth Beast
Yih Xuan stood up and grabbed the Zixiao Sword with both of his hands. At the same time, he gathered his profound energy into his ears and started listening attentively.
In this situation where his soul energy was suppressed by ten times, his ears were much more useful than his soul energy.
Under the enhancement of his profound energy, Yih Xuan very quickly heard the voice clearly.
It was a kind of hissing that was similar to a bat. It was very ear piercing and also very messy.
"From the sound, it should be quite a number, at least several hundred or more. But what exactly is this thing? Could it be an exotic beast in the maze?"
A trace of doubt flashed across Yih Xuan's eyes, but he quickly shook his head and said," Forget it. It looks like this thing is coming for me. I'll wait for it here. "
Yih Xuan could not tell what kind of creature it was just by hearing its voice.
Yih Xuan did not plan to dodge. It was not easy to find a living creature, so he naturally wanted to see what it was.
The strange beast was very fast. It soon appeared within the range of Yih Xuan's soul perception. At this time, Yih Xuan finally knew what this strange beast looked like.
This strange beast's appearance was a bit similar to a bat. It was completely black, the size of a palm, and a pair of fleshy wings took up more than half of its body. On both ends of the fleshy wings were a pair of sharp claws, and on its tail was a pair of sharp claws. There was also a sharp and thin needle on its tail.
This was not any Magic Beast that Yih Xuan knew. There was an abyssal aura on its body. There was no record of this Magic Beast in the Magic Beast Catalog.
"Legend has it that the almighty beings of the ancient times could create their own living beings, and that they did not belong to the Xuanyuan Continent. This thing should be created by the almighty beings themselves! "
Yih Xuan thought to himself.
The strange beast opened its mouth, and an ear-piercing sound came from the depths of its throat.
This sound could be transmitted to a very far place, and then it would quickly return and be received by their long and sharp ears.
The eyes of these exotic beasts weren't very good. This sound was used to locate.
With this sound tracking ability, even if the enemy was several kilometers away, they could still accurately locate the enemy's position.
In Yih Xuan's soul perception, there were several hundred of these strange beasts.
"Very good. I can use you all to test my strength!" A trace of a smile flashed across Yih Xuan's mouth.
Judging from the aura emitted by these strange beasts, their strength was not high. Each of them was equivalent to a level five or six elemental beast.
With a few hundred of them added together, they might be able to kill an ordinary Peak of the Ninth Level Mystic, or even threaten a Mystic Master.
But to Yih Xuan, this was nothing.
Yih Xuan held the Zixiao Sword in his hand and quietly waited for the arrival of the strange beast.
Huahuahua!
The sound of wings flapping in the air rang out, and hundreds of bat-like strange beasts appeared in front of Yih Xuan.
These exotic beasts didn't seem to be affected by the suction force of the ground in this maze, and could fly freely.
However, their flying height could only be within five meters, and couldn't exceed this height.
There was a limit on this. Even these exotic beasts could not pass through.
When they saw Yih Xuan, the eyes of the hundreds of strange beasts lit up, and they started screaming.
Along with their screams, waves of ear-piercing sounds suddenly formed sound waves.
In the blink of an eye, these sound waves had arrived in front of Yih Xuan.
These sound waves had been superimposed by hundreds of sound waves. It seemed to contain a tremendous force that could shatter one's eardrums.
Yih Xuan furrowed his brows. His body was incomparably strong, and even his eardrums were far stronger than ordinary people's. So, this sound naturally couldn't cause any harm to him.
However, this sound would disturb his hearing. If he listened too much, it would cause him to be distracted.
Yih Xuan's mind moved, and a milky white profound energy surged towards his ears.
In the next moment, two milky white shields appeared above Yih Xuan's two ears.
When this shield appeared, the sound waves emitted by the strange beasts were instantly isolated outside.
This was the profound energy shield that Yih Xuan studied as a profound master, and it was a similar shield that he simulated.
Master Xuan's profound energy barrier was naturally formed when a profound practitioner broke through to become a profound practitioner. In terms of nature, it was already very different from the profound energy in a profound practitioner's body. It possessed an extremely strong defensive ability.
This was a kind of change in profound energy. No matter how much of a genius Yih Xuan was, he would not be able to use it in advance.
However, even though he could not use it, he could borrow it.
Yih Xuan used his own profound energy and simulated a barrier based on the profound energy barrier.
Although this barrier could not be compared to the profound energy barrier naturally formed by a profound master, it still had a portion of the effect of a profound energy barrier.
Just like the protective shield on these two ears, it was simulated by Yih Xuan.
Although the defensive power was very low, it could only block the attack of a first level profound master. However, if he only wanted to use it to block the sound waves of these strange beasts, it was not a problem at all.
After solving this annoying sound wave problem, Yih Xuan once again set his gaze on these strange beasts.
In the beginning, these strange beasts were still a hundred meters away. But in the next moment, these strange beasts had already arrived by Yih Xuan's side.
Although these exotic beasts were only the size of a palm, when these several hundred of them were added together, they were simply overwhelming in this narrow passageway!
In front of Yih Xuan, these hundreds of exotic beasts seemed to form a pitch-black wall, with countless red eyes on the wall.
This strange black wall was approaching him at an extremely fast speed.
Every exotic beast on the wall opened their mouths wide, revealing their sharp teeth. Their sharp claws and tail thorns were shining with a cold light.
Without a doubt, as long as they got close to Yih Xuan, these hundreds of beasts would definitely eat him until not even his bones were left.
"Good timing!"
Yih Xuan stood tall and straight, waiting for these hundreds of beasts to get close to him. He immediately thrust his sword forward.
This sword was very fast, but it was very ordinary. It didn't carry any sword Qi.
In fact, with Yih Xuan's current strength, he could easily kill all these strange beasts with just a casual strike of the Nine Winds of Wind and Cloud.
However, Yih Xuan didn't do that. He wanted to rely on these hundreds of strange beasts to train his sword skills.
The sword he used was just a very ordinary basic sword skill.
The power of the sword was also under Yih Xuan's control. It was only equivalent to a strike from an ordinary 5-6 Mystic. It just so happened to be on par with the strength of a strange beast, neither high nor low.
It was different from the hundreds of Ferocious Beast that he had encountered in the Mystic Spirit Secret Realm. Due to the suppression of each Ferocious Beast, Yih Xuan would at most be attacked by one or two Ferocious Beast at the same time.
As for the hundreds of strange beasts Yih Xuan was facing right now, due to their small size, they had a lot of space to use. The first attack was almost at the same time as the hundreds of strange beasts.
Dealing with the attacks of hundreds of exotic beasts at the same time was the best time to train his sword arts and dodge.
Yih Xuan was slightly nervous. It was easy to defend against the attacks of hundreds of exotic beasts at the same time, but it was not that easy to do.
Sure enough, in that instant, Yih Xuan unleashed dozens of attacks, forming a sword net that blocked the attacks of dozens of strange beasts.
It wasn't that Yih Xuan couldn't make his sword move faster, but if he moved faster, Yih Xuan wouldn't be able to control his sword and attack the strange beasts.
This was because Yih Xuan's will couldn't keep up with the rhythm. His consciousness had never tried to use so many swords in a short period of time.
However, Yih Xuan's consciousness was already strong enough. It was just that he was not used to it. As long as he was used to it, he would be able to attack dozens or even hundreds of times at the same time.
But now, even more exotic beasts had passed through the sword net and attacked his body.
Hundreds of exotic beasts grabbed, bit, or stabbed, and hundreds of attacks landed on Yih Xuan's body in an instant.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The moment the attacks hit Yih Xuan, these hundreds of exotic beasts felt as if they had struck a diamond. Sounds of metal colliding rang out from the point of contact between the beast and Yih Xuan.
This was the reason why Yih Xuan dared to fight these hundreds of strange beasts. When he was at the Mystic Spirit Secret Realm, his body had already reached the level of a top-grade human-step profound weapon.
Later on, after learning alchemy, Yih Xuan refined some profound pellets to strengthen his physical body. After he ate all of them, his physical body had already reached the level of a low-grade earth-step profound weapon.
Such physical strength, even ordinary low-level Profound Masters would not be able to pierce it, let alone these strange beasts that were only equivalent to the strength of level five or six Origin Beasts.
Yih Xuan frowned. Although these strange beasts were unable to cut through his body, causing him to be injured. However, when these exotic beasts attacked his body, they would still bring him some pain.
However, it was only a slight frown on Yih Xuan's face. He had tried this before. This tiny bit of physical pain was nothing to him.
His body shook, and the strange beast on his body fell to the ground.
Although Yih Xuan could easily kill these strange beasts, he couldn't do that. These strange beasts were the best tools for him to practice his sword. If he hurt one of them, it would lower his training by a little bit.
And just as Yih Xuan knocked down the exotic beast on his body, the workman had already fallen into the encirclement of several hundred exotic beasts.
With just a glance, he was surrounded by hundreds of exotic beasts. * Hong Long...... * Yih Xuan knew that even in such an environment, it would be difficult for him to even strike with his sword. Unless he wanted to kill all these strange beasts, he could only allow them to attack him.
Yih Xuan didn't care about such a situation. These hundreds of exotic beasts wouldn't be able to trap him.
With a flash, he forcefully squeezed out of the encirclement of these exotic beasts.
Finding a direction, he unleashed the Eight Steps Chasing the Wind. In an instant, Yih Xuan was dozens of meters away.
Naturally, Yih Xuan didn't want to escape. With his strength, there was no need for him to do so.
He wanted to create another situation like the previous one, so that all the strange beasts could only attack him from one side. This way, Yih Xuan could train his sword technique once again.
About a hundred meters away from the exotic beasts, Yih Xuan stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the hundreds of exotic beasts in front of him.
When the hundreds of beasts saw Yih Xuan, who was surrounded just now, disappear in the blink of an eye, they immediately screamed.
As mentioned before, this voice had the ability to locate the target. With this voice, these beasts were able to locate Yih Xuan in an instant.
Judging from the appearance of these strange beasts, they didn't seem to have any intelligence. It was as if there was only slaughter in their hearts.
They didn't care whether they could deal with Yih Xuan or not. In the next moment, these hundreds of exotic beasts started screaming and pouncing at Yih Xuan.
Sharp teeth, sharp claws, and cold tail thorns. Each and every one of them made people shiver with fear.
However, Yih Xuan didn't care at all. As the hundreds of exotic beasts closed in, he thrust his sword at them once more.
As expected, after blocking the attacks of a dozen or so exotic beasts, in the next moment, Yih Xuan was once again attacked by the hundreds of exotic beasts.
However, Yih Xuan was not discouraged at all. He shook off the strange beasts on his body, and after getting out of the encirclement, he started again.
This cycle repeated itself. Almost every dozen breaths of time, Yih Xuan would fight these hundreds of exotic beasts once.
Whether it was Yih Xuan or these hundreds of strange beasts, Yih Xuan would fight them once. It's like they don't know exhaustion, they're all fighting like this all the time.
Different from the few attacks of the exotic beasts, there was no novelty. It was as if someone had set a program for them. Yih Xuan was improving at every moment.
Fifteen minutes later, Yih Xuan could already withstand the attacks of more than twenty exotic beasts.
Half an hour later, Yih Xuan could already withstand the attacks of over fifty exotic beasts.
An hour later, Yih Xuan could already withstand the attacks of over a hundred exotic beasts.
Because his will was already strong enough, he just needed to get used to it. That was why Yih Xuan was able to enter at such a fast speed.
If it was an ordinary Mystic, even if it was a high-level Mystic, it might not be as fast as Yih Xuan's improvement.
However, it was also at this moment that these strange beasts started to retreat at the same time.
The exotic beasts instantly flew into the sky. The layer of restriction that was five meters above them seemed to have disappeared.
In a short while, these several hundred beasts had all disappeared into the dark horizon.
Yih Xuan wanted to chase after them, but the suction force from the ground firmly grabbed onto him. He couldn't break free at all.
"Unfortunately, if I had another hour,i would definitely be able to deal with the attacks of these hundreds of exotic beasts at the same time."
Yih Xuan looked regretful.
"However, what exactly are these strange beasts? They came and went without a trace. Could it be the test of this Devil Palace?"
Yih Xuan couldn't help but ponder in his heart, but after a long time, he could only sigh deeply and stop thinking about it.
Ever since he entered the Devil Palace, Yih Xuan was confused. Not only did he not see any treasures, he was also trapped in the maze, unable to leave.
"Forget it. I should think about how to get out now. There should be an exit in this maze. If the master of this Abyss Devil Palace deliberately wants to trap people in this maze, then I can only resign myself to fate."
After Yih Xuan recovered his mental state, he continued forward.
Yih Xuan had no other choice now. He was trapped in this maze. The only thing he could do was to keep looking for a way out.
In any case, with Yih Xuan's current cultivation base, as long as he cultivated for a while, he would be full of energy, and there was no need for him to specially rest.
He didn't know how long he had been gone for. Yih Xuan saw the mark he left behind in a place.
This was the number of times he had seen these marks. He didn't care about them and was just about to leave.
"Wait! Something seems to be wrong!"
Yih Xuan suddenly stopped and looked at the mark he left behind.
"There's nothing wrong with the mark. Is that where it makes me feel that something is wrong?"
Yih Xuan held a scale in his hand and kept flipping it. There was a mark on the front of the scale.
"Right, mark! I remember that there was originally a passageway on the left side of this place! But now, it has become a direct path! "
Mystic's memory was already very good. The reason Yih Xuan could not remember before was because the surroundings of this maze were all black, and he felt a little dizzy looking at it.
After being reminded by this number, Yih Xuan instantly remembered it.
"Could it be that this maze is constantly changing?"
Yih Xuan frowned deeply. If this maze really kept changing, he was afraid that he would be trapped in this maze forever.
He didn't know anything about formations, so he could only think of the dumbest way to mark the maze. Although this method was stupid, there was a chance that he could get out if he persisted.
But now, it seemed that even the dumbest method wouldn't work.
"What should we do? Am I going to be trapped here forever?"
A few deep marks appeared on Yih Xuan's forehead.
