Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

To Mo Juren, level five or six monsters were no different from ants. No matter how many there were, it was meaningless. So when he saw the group of monsters approaching, he immediately began to fight back nonchalantly.

Only a short while later, hundreds of monsters were killed by the flying swords.

What surprised Mo Juren was that the moment these flying beasts died, they turned directly into specks of starlight and disappeared completely, leaving nothing behind.

"Illusion?" Mo Juren frowned. He was sure that he was not in an illusion, so how could an illusion appear? And from the battle just now, all the flying beasts were real, without any signs of falsehood.

"This is not an illusion, but a phantom beast formed by some unique light energy." But at this moment, the ancestor of Tiandao suddenly said.

"Light attribute, fantasy beast!" Mo Juren was more and more surprised. He naturally knew about the light attribute. It was another kind of attribute similar to wind, thunder and darkness attributes. It was extremely rare.

Whether it is a cultivator or a monster, there are very few that have anything to do with the attribute of light.

He remembered Hu Huaer whom he met in the lower world. The other party possessed the legendary "light-eating body", which was the only example related to light attributes that he had ever seen.

As for monsters, there has never been a single case.

Unfortunately, those phantom beasts all disappeared after their death, leaving nothing behind, which is really a pity.

"The fantasy beasts here are not fake things, but real beings with special forms. However, their entire bodies are condensed from light energy. Once they die, they will naturally disappear."

"So that's it!" After hearing the other party's explanation, Mo Juren suddenly showed a look of enlightenment. At the same time, he was amazed at the vastness of the world. It was true that there were all kinds of wonders!
Putting his thoughts aside, he did not delay any longer and directly rode his light to search in the space.

According to Xiao Yunhuang's reminder, there should be a teleportation array on each floor, which can be used to leave directly or go to higher floors, and it is located in the central area of ​​​​each floor.

There were obviously quite a lot of phantom beasts in this first layer of space. During the subsequent search, he encountered several waves of them again, but he easily dealt with them all.

Of course, the result was still the same as the first time, everything disappeared and there was no gain.

After spending nearly an hour, he finally saw the so-called teleportation array. There were two of them at the end of his sight. However, there was a high platform built between the two arrays, but it was empty and there was nothing on it.

However, in the area around the platform, there was a huge creature hovering. It was a giant python, over a hundred feet long, silver-white in color, and covered with silver scales.

At this moment, the reminder from the Heaven Sword Patriarch suddenly came to my ears again:
"This one is also a fantasy beast condensed from the light attribute, but its level is obviously much higher. There may be unexpected gains after killing it."

"An unexpected gain? What is it?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised.

"I can't be 100% sure either. Just kill him and then you will know the answer."

"Alright!"

Mo Juren did not ask any more questions and flew forward at high speed. The silver python had obviously noticed it and came towards him with a roar.

The battle was not as intense as expected. The reason was very simple. The strength of the silver python was too low after all. It could not be Mo Juren's opponent at all.

In just a few breaths, he died.

The result was the same as before. Soon the giant python's body began to turn into starlight and disappeared. However, the difference was that a layer of mysterious blue sand was left behind in its place.

"This is..." Mo Juren's eyes lit up and he immediately waved his hand, taking all the fine sand into his palm. At this moment, the prompt sound of the auxiliary device suddenly came in his mind.

"We have discovered the Sand of Time. Should we add it to the material library?"

"Sand of Time?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. Looking at the sand in his hand that was emitting a faint blue light, he became more and more interested. He knew without thinking that this was definitely a rare and good thing.
"Senior, do you recognize this thing?" The introduction of the auxiliary device was too simple, with only a name. Perhaps the Tiandao Patriarch recognized it. After all, the other party was at the peak level of fusion and was naturally knowledgeable.

However, what he did not expect was that when he saw the light sand, the Heaven Sword Patriarch suddenly fell into deep thought, and only replied after a moment,
"This thing is very similar to the legendary 'Blue Crystal Light Sand', which is a top-level light-attribute material, but it seems to be different. The Blue Crystal Light Sand is larger in size, and these are too small."

"Is that so..." Mo Juren was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the other party didn't recognize this thing. He paused and suddenly changed the subject.
"Have you ever heard of 'Sand of Time'?"

"Sand of Time?" The Heaven Sword Patriarch remained silent again, and then asked back with some curiosity,

"I have never heard of this thing. Could it be that this is not the blue crystal sand, but the so-called sand of time?"

"I'm not sure either. I once heard of the name of the Sand of Time by chance. It seemed to be this kind of sky blue fine sand. I know nothing else." Mo Juren would naturally not reveal the existence of the auxiliary device, but just gave a half-true and half-false explanation.

"That's a pity." Tian Dao Patriarch was also a little disappointed, but he reminded again,
"Whether it's the Blue Crystal Light Sand or the Time Light Sand, they are both extremely rare top-grade materials. Be sure to keep them well. They may be of great use in the future."

"What you said is absolutely right, senior." Mo Juren would have done the same thing without being reminded by the other party, but unfortunately the number was a little small, only a handful the size of a fist.

But he didn't mind it. It was much better than having nothing as before. He immediately put it into the material library.

At this time, he looked at the teleportation array in front of him again. There were two of them. One was white, which could be used to teleport away directly, and the other was black, which was the passage to the second floor.

It suddenly occurred to him that if he had not chosen to fight with the silver python, but instead bypassed it and entered the teleportation array directly, wouldn't it be much simpler?

This seems feasible. Not to mention the silver python, if you encounter some tower guarding monsters that are too powerful or that you are not interested in, it seems that this can indeed be done.

According to Xiao Yunhuang, there are treasures on each level of the platform, and they are sealed in the formation. If you want to get them, you must get rid of the monster guarding the tower.

But just like the platform in front of us, many of them had already been taken away by those who came earlier, so choosing to fight with the monsters seemed to be a bit of a loss.

Of course, for him, these are not important, anyway, it is not troublesome, and there is even a certain chance that he will get a small handful of "sand of time" like he did just now, which can be regarded as a "good harvest". In this case, why not do it?
Thinking this in his mind, he did not delay any longer. He immediately appeared inside the black teleportation array in a flash. After embedding the spirit stone in it, he instantly turned into a beam of black light and disappeared.

Soon he regained his sight and successfully appeared in the space of the second floor. He looked around and found himself in a dense forest.
I looked down and saw no trace of the teleportation array.
As expected, all teleportation arrays are one-way random. The difference is that the teleportation array for leaving is the same, but it teleports directly to the lobby on the first floor of the main tower.

This setting is obviously intentional, and its purpose is to prevent intruders from taking advantage of loopholes.

Mo Juren didn't care about these things, but immediately released his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings.

The space on the second floor was equally large, like the dense forest before him. Even with his spiritual sense he was unable to detect the end of it.

There are many monsters in the dense forest, but just like the first layer, they are not very powerful.

This is understandable. After all, it is just the bottom layer. There can't be too many high-level beings. For example, on the first layer, only the silver python is still alive.

Putting his thoughts aside, he immediately turned into a ray of light and flew away into the air.

This time the search was smoother, and in less than half an hour, he had found the teleportation array in the central area again.

What surprised him was that there was no trace of the tower guarding monster near the teleportation array.

"Strange!" Raising his hand and touching his chin, Mo Juren then carefully investigated. After just a moment, he suddenly realized it and laughed.

"Interesting, they're hiding deep underground! Are they planning a sneak attack?"

He did not choose to ignore the other party directly, but walked forward as if he did not notice.

As for the monster deep underground, just as he expected, it was indeed planning to launch a sneak attack. This showed that its intelligence must be quite high, but he didn't know how strong it was.
Just when he was about ten feet away from the black teleportation array, suddenly, a cold light broke out of the ground and attacked directly at the back.

It turned out to be a black tail as thick as an arm, with a foot-long spike on the top. The surface had a metallic luster and was extremely sharp.

Its speed is also extremely fast. If you are unaware at such a close distance, you may really be attacked.

But Mo Juren had anticipated this. When he saw the black tail spike was about to fall on his vest, a hand reached behind him like lightning and grabbed it by the root.

He exerted force upwards suddenly, and with a sharp scream, he pulled it out of the ground.

Only then did Mo Juren see the other party's full appearance clearly. It turned out to be a strange scorpion that was completely black and several feet in size. Although it was far inferior to the giant python on the first level in this respect, the aura it exuded was obviously slightly better.

What was even more special was that the opponent had not one tail, but three. At this moment, one of them was caught and forcibly pulled out of the ground. The unimaginable pain immediately made the three-tailed scorpion extremely angry.

The incident just happened suddenly, so it naturally couldn't react for a while. But as soon as it appeared, it immediately launched a counterattack. Under its control, two huge scorpion tails with cold light came at the same time.

There is a deadly poison on the scorpion's tail, which Mo Juren must be able to feel clearly, but unfortunately, this amount of poison is not enough for him.

The opponent counterattacked so quickly, but he was even faster. Before the other two scorpion tails could reach him, two sword lights shot out out of thin air.

Although the scorpion's tail is strong, its body is too weak after all, only at the level of a level eleven demon beast. How could it possibly withstand the sharpness of the Ice Soul Sword?
Almost in an instant, the two scorpion tails were cut off. Then he exerted force in his hands again, pulled the only scorpion tail and began to swing it violently to both sides.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The strange scorpion had not yet recovered from the pain of its tail being broken, and its huge body was swung back and forth like a toy, continuously hitting the ground on both sides.

The force was too great, and it spread throughout the body. Even though it was a strong monster, it could not withstand it. In just a moment, it was shaken and dizzy, and soon lost consciousness.

"That won't work!" Mo Juren laughed, and while the other party was unconscious, he swung his flying sword to cut him into pieces, and the demon's soul was burned to ashes by fire.

The next step is to clean up the results of the battle. There are still many good materials on this strange scorpion, especially the three tail stingers. Not only are they as sharp as magic weapons, but they are also highly poisonous. It is perfect to use them as the main body to refine spike-type treasures.

"Hey, this poison is not simple!" After collecting all the materials, Mo Juren noticed that the palm of his right hand was dyed blue and emitted a faint fishy smell.

The fact that it could penetrate into his skin showed that this poison was indeed extraordinary. An ordinary cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage would probably not be able to withstand it, but for him, this thing had no effect at all.

He looked at his palm again and thought to himself: This can’t be wasted!

He took out a small jade bottle about an inch high slowly, then used a secret technique to force out all the poison in his palm and stored it inside the small jade bottle.

Only then did he nodded with satisfaction, put the cork in the bottle, and then put it into the storage bracelet.

After doing all this, he planned to move on. Without hesitation, he stepped into the black teleportation array again. With a flash of light, he had arrived at the third level of space.

Looking around, I found that this was just a swamp area. The endless swamp area was filled with dark miasma and poisonous fog, making visibility somewhat limited.

This was not the most troublesome thing. He could clearly feel that under the vast swamps around him, there were countless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts hidden.

"The difficulty is indeed gradually increasing!" Mo Juren sighed, of course not because of the current problem, but because he was thinking about the subsequent tower breakthrough.

Theoretically, the higher the level, the stronger the monsters guarding the tower will be. However, this is only the third level now, so you can imagine how thrilling the next step will be.

Without any delay, he transformed into a beam of light and flew away into the air. While he was searching for the teleportation array, somewhere deep below the swamp, an eye about ten feet in size with a grayish-white pupil suddenly opened slowly.
