Chapter 278 - Chapter278

"To... to the seventeenth layer?" Hearing Zhou Peng say he was going to the seventeenth layer, the little dwarf immediately panicked. The seventeenth layer is full of extremely powerful magical beasts. They are all battle beasts of the demon race. They have strong bodies and powerful brute force, and their numbers are very large. If they see a human enter the seventeenth layer, they will probably be torn apart instantly. During the ancient great war, they were sucked into the array because they were close to the Demon-Sealing Array. They have an indispensable position in the Demon-Sealing Array. The little dwarf is extremely clear about the horror of the seventeenth layer. In his heart, Zhou Peng going to the seventeenth layer is seeking death. "Great immortal, although you are someone sent by Immortal King Li Xiaoyao, don't go to the seventeenth layer. That's not a place where you humans can go. It's too terrifying." The little dwarf said in fear, his eyes filled with fear. "The more terrifying it is, the more I must go." "How could this great immortal be frightened by the battle beasts of the demon race?" Zhou Peng coldly shouted, and then asked, "Are you going?" "No." "Even if you beat me to death, I won't go." The little dwarf shook his head like a rattle. Zhou Peng smiled and said, "Maomao." "Roar..." Maomao's mane all over his body stood on end. Suddenly, it roared towards the sky. A pair of bloodshot eyes stared ferociously at the little dwarf. Saliva dripped from between its teeth. It seemed that as long as Zhou Peng gave an order, it would swallow the little dwarf instantly. "I'll go. I'll go..." "It's my honor to lead the way for the great immortal." The little dwarf had a bitter expression. He had no choice but to go. "You're very sensible. Looks like you've been around for quite a while." Zhou Peng laughed and stomped his foot. "Lead the way ahead." The ancient Demon-Sealing Array is divided into eighteen layers. The higher up, the richer the spiritual energy. Of course, compared to the outside, the spiritual energy here can be ignored. But even the very thin spiritual energy is also being competed for and absorbed by countless demons. They are at odds with each other and even fight fiercely. That's why levels are divided. The higher up, the stronger the power of the demon race. This is also why the little dwarf took a risk and rushed outly when he saw Zhou Peng devouring crystal nuclei. This was the result he had expected. However, a crystal nucleus is extremely expensive in the Demon-Sealing Array. It can instantly raise his status from the eighteenth layer to the top ten layers. With such a great temptation, he must take a desperate gamble. With a lack of spiritual energy, let alone crystal nuclei. For the demons in the Demon-Sealing Array, Zhou Peng is carrying rare treasures and is like a delicious treat. Throwing out a single crystal nucleus will cause a huge stir, let alone things like the golden energy, purple crystal fragments, and purple crystal pills. Zhou Peng is unaware of all this. But the little dwarf is clear in his heart. A person who can eat crystal nuclei like beans. The number of crystal nuclei he has on him can be imagined. Walking in the darkness for about three hours. Along the way, Zhou Peng even suspected that the little dwarf was taking a detour. If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful, he would really cut him down with a single blow. Gaining one experience is one experience. Now leveling up is extremely important to him. He has the dragon saber and obtained the must-kill skill "earth-shattering sword strike". He has countless treasures on him, but with the strength of the void-breaking realm, he can't protect them. He can only raise his level and increase his qi value. There is also the survival value. This thing must be the reliance for his survival in the future. If the survival value is zero, then everything is over. "We're here!" The little dwarf stopped and pointed to a dim step. "If this can be found, it's really possible to catch a ghost." Zhou Peng secretly thought. The passage is connected with the darkness. Even for people with good eyesight, no matter how carefully they observe, it's difficult to find it. "Great immortal, I won't go." "I have neither a strong body nor strength. Going there will only cause you trouble." The little dwarf slightly retreated and smiled awkwardly. Zhou Peng drew out the dragon saber. The blade flashed, directly blocking the little dwarf's retreat. He smiled and said, "With this great immortal here, who dares to harm you even a bit? You just lead the way." In the dim passage, who knows what mechanisms or poisonous gases there will be? With the little dwarf around, how could Zhou Peng let him go easily? After clearing the seventeenth layer, there is still the sixteenth layer. This little dwarf must be very familiar with the Demon-Sealing Array. He can find such a hard-to-find entrance. What else can't he find? "Great immortal, I'll lead the way." The little dwarf was very depressed, but he didn't dare to fight back. Who told him he was weak? After saying that, he stepped onto the dark steps, extremely careful. One step at a time, stop after one step, listen after stopping. Only after making sure there was no danger did he take the second step. He walked extremely carefully. Zhou Peng was a bit impatient, but he didn't. Being careful can ensure safety for a long time. Ninety-nine steps. It took almost half an hour. There was nothing along the way. But from the moment they stepped onto the seventeenth layer, the atmosphere was a bit different. "Great immortal, now it should be okay." The little dwarf's voice was as soft as a mosquito, extremely low. "No..." "Your voice is too loud." The little dwarf's eyes were filled with extreme panic. He instantly jumped behind Zhou Peng and looked around through the gap between his legs. "What did you say?" Zhou Peng asked in doubt, raising his voice a bit. "I'm dead. This time, there's no way to escape." The little dwarf's eyes were dull and his face was pale. At the moment Zhou Peng spoke, countless pairs of bloodshot eyes in the darkness suddenly opened. "Boom!" A demon battle beast suddenly opened its eyes. Its front paws scratched fiercely. Its body, as hard as fine steel, rushed out extremely quickly. As it moved, Maomao also moved. And its speed was even faster. "Boom!" A dull impact sound rang out, followed by a painful scream, "Roar..." Maomao bit off a ferocious head. Blood flowed directly from the head. The smell of blood quickly spread. There was a commotion around. Countless pairs of bloodshot eyes opened. The breathing became heavier. The fierce aura filled the entire seventeenth layer. Step by step. In less than three seconds, there were no less than a thousand demon battle beasts surrounding Zhou Peng within three zhang. At the same time, the little dwarf instantly jumped out and directly came to the side of the demon battle beast. He shouted, "I'm not with him." The demon battle beasts seemed to understand what he said, but they didn't look at him. "He has a lot of crystal nuclei and a divine sword full of power." The little dwarf shouted loudly, seemingly looking for a sense of existence. However, this time he succeeded. Almost all the battle beasts looked at him. Then, their eyes showed enthusiasm. Looking at Zhou Peng, there was extreme greed in their eyes. "Little dwarf, you dare to betray this great immortal." Zhou Peng smiled faintly. He wasn't very surprised by his actions. On the contrary, if the little dwarf didn't do this, he would be surprised. "Maomao." "It's time to start working." Zhou Peng turned his head and looked at the excited Maomao and smiled. Suddenly. The dragon saber moved. A cold light flashed. Zhou Peng shouted loudly, "Level seven frenzy..." Two hundred and fifty-six times the attribute power was on his body. His true qi burst out. His arms bulged. The powerful force erupted from his dantian. His eyes widened. He firmly grasped the handle of the dragon saber with both hands. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Kill..." The dragon-shaped saber aura swept out and directly turned into a crescent moon. "Boom..." "Congratulations to player 'Zhou Peng' for killing 'Red Refining Magical Beast' and obtaining 23,000 experience points, 1,600 qi value, and 120 survival value..." "Congratulations to player 'Zhou Peng' for obtaining a drop of 'demonic essence blood'..." With one slash, a large number were instantly killed. The experience value increased wildly. However, this slash completely awakened all the battle beasts on the entire seventeenth layer. An ancient battle beast woke up from its slumber. It was extremely hungry and thirsty. Smelling the smell of blood in the air, it went into a frenzy. Ancient battle beasts are extremely powerful. The danger suddenly intensified!
