Guo Xingyue made a roll and evaded the flame sprayed by the Vermilion Bird. With a move of pushing the water along, he deftly deflected the bird's attacking claws with his long sword. Then, with a somersault, he avoided the bird's sweeping wings. The long sword in his hand was like a snake, quickly passing between the Vermilion Bird's legs. He concentrated all his true energy at the tip of the sword and accurately stabbed at the place where the small bunch of feathers was located. After a ding sound, the huge figure of the Vermilion Bird disappeared, and a red statue fell from the air.
Guo Xingyue reached out and caught the statue. Looking at it in his hand, he found that it was a Vermilion Bird statue carved from fire crystal diamonds. Inside the statue of the Vermilion Bird, there was also an array engraved, just like the one in the ice rhinoceros. Guo Xingyue put the statue into his storage bracelet and landed on the still hot ground to regulate his breath. The true energy consumed by Guo Xingyue in this battle was more than that in the battle against the ice rhinoceros, especially in the last strike, when his Nascent Soul was also slightly injured. This time, it took Guo Xingyue nearly two months to recover.
After Guo Xingyue woke up from his meditation, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul, which was originally sitting cross-legged, had stood up, and its size had increased significantly, reaching about one foot tall. It held a sword in each hand, looking extremely powerful. The only drawback was that Guo Xingyue had not yet refined the Heart Armor, and the Nascent Soul was still naked. Guo Xingyue reached out and touched the new hair growing on his head, thinking to himself: It was a close call! I almost became a monk.
Guo Xingyue looked around and found that the four walls of the cave were still charred. On the left wall of his side, there was a small cave opening, and he could vaguely see a bright light flickering. Guo Xingyue released his flying sword and walked out of the cave opening warily. As soon as he stepped out of the cave opening, the cave behind him disappeared, and he saw a forest. Guo Xingyue then realized that he was standing under a big tree, surrounded by a dense forest. There were tall trees everywhere in the forest, and the trees were full of weeds and vines. The thick vines were intertwined among the trees, like a huge net. Guo Xingyue stretched out his hand and touched the big tree beside him, and a real feeling came to him. Guo Xingyue flew onto the big tree and saw that the two suns in the sky were hanging high. He looked around and found that the four sides of the forest were endless. Hmm? Had he broken out of the array? Where was this? He had only advanced more than a hundred zhang in the array. According to reason, he should still be in the valley. How did he get here?
Guo Xingyue released his spiritual sense to observe the surroundings. His spiritual sense extended nearly a hundred zhang without finding any major problems. However, he was puzzled that such a large forest did not have any animals, not even a single insect. The whole forest was quiet, giving off a strange atmosphere. Guo Xingyue observed for a while and thought for a while, but still couldn't understand why there were no animals in the forest. However, he always put aside the things he couldn't understand and would figure them out when the time came. Guo Xingyue rode his flying sword and chose a direction at random, flying close to the tree tops. After flying for a long time, he was still above the forest. At first, Guo Xingyue didn't pay attention. Later, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and found that half a day had passed. How could the two suns in the sky still be hanging high? Calculating the time, the sun should have set a long time ago. It turned out that he was still trapped in the Hunyuan Seven Kill Arrays, and the forest in front of him was also an illusion. No wonder he had flown for a long time but still couldn't fly out of the forest. It seemed that he couldn't fly out of the forest from the air. Let's fly up and have a look. Guo Xingyue carefully rode his flying sword and flew up. However, after flying to a high altitude, he didn't encounter any obstacles. He thought to himself: It seemed that the way out of the array should still be in the forest. I just don't know what kind of monsters will appear this time.
After Guo Xingyue landed on his flying sword and looked around, he couldn't help laughing and crying: It turned out that he had flown for a long time but was still in the same place. The place where he was standing was exactly the same as the place where he entered the array. Guo Xingyue shook his head with a bitter smile, placed his flying sword beside him and let it hover. He also took out some green crystal diamonds from his storage ring and walked forward carefully along the gap between the trees, thinking to himself: Fortunately, I have enough green crystal diamonds. Otherwise, I might have run out of strength and died long ago.
Just after walking a short distance, Guo Xingyue found that his spiritual sense was restricted again and could only detect a distance of about one zhang. He knew that he had officially entered the array and the array had started to operate. Having experienced the power of the array twice, Guo Xingyue knew that he couldn't be careless. In the case where his spiritual sense couldn't be used, he could only rely on his intuition and eyesight. Although Guo Xingyue didn't stop walking, his walking speed was extremely slow, ready to deal with unexpected events at any time.
Guo Xingyue walked carefully in the jungle for more than half an hour. He never found anything abnormal. He didn't see any animals or receive any attacks. Even with his assassin's intuition, he couldn't feel where the danger was. Guo Xingyue stopped with a frown and thought to himself: What's going on with this array? I've walked for a long time and haven't encountered any monsters. Could it be that this array is just a maze and there are no monsters defending the array? But from the previous two arrays, it's obvious that this is impossible! Could the problem be with these trees? Let's give it a try.
Guo Xingyue swung his flying sword and chopped at a big tree in front of him. The flying sword turned into a golden light and rushed towards the big tree. With a crack, the big tree was chopped off. The big tree slowly fell down, making a series of cracking sounds and breaking the branches and leaves of several surrounding trees. The big tree crashed to the ground with a bang, and mud and stones flew everywhere. Suddenly, a round of applause came from behind Guo Xingyue, startling him greatly: How could his intuition fail? He didn't even know that someone had touched his back! Guo Xingyue didn't turn around immediately. Instead, he flew forward quickly and then made a sideways spin before turning around to look at the person behind him. Eh, it was a monkey, a little monkey: Its whole body was green, and even its eyes were green. It was not big, and compared with the monkeys on Pangu Star, it had no difference except for its green hair.
The green-haired monkey was overjoyed and danced with joy, showing its teeth and grinning at Guo Xingyue, as if laughing at Guo Xingyue's behavior of cutting down trees. Guo Xingyue watched the monkey jumping up and down vigilantly and didn't dare to be the least bit negligent: No one who could appear in the Hunyuan Seven Kill Arrays could be a simple person! He kept guessing the origin of the monkey in his heart. However, there was no record of this kind of monkey in the jade token given to him by Ye Mingcheng. Guo Xingyue's understanding of the beasts in the cultivation world all came from that jade token and he naturally couldn't know who this monkey was.
The green-haired monkey played happily for a long time before jumping down from the tree and circling around Guo Xingyue for several times. It stopped one zhang away from Guo Xingyue, pointed at the green crystal diamond held in Guo Xingyue's left hand with its finger, and then pointed at its own mouth. Guo Xingyue blurted out, "You want to eat the green crystal diamond?" The monkey nodded vigorously with its hands and feet.
