Nan Yue didn't expect to run into a classmate here, and her heart couldn't help but sink as she secretly glanced at the adult. In her mind, she silently prayed that this wouldn't be the thing that would anger the adult! This was only the second time she had met the adult, and she wasn't sure what their temper was like.
But she heard that many adults don't like to reveal their whereabouts.
"Nan Yue, who is this?" Suddenly, a calm and steady voice sounded in her ear.
She raised her head, and it was even more terrible. It was actually Teacher Chi! After the exam, he came to find her, hoping to recruit her as one of his students. Chi was from the Fire Tribe, and his fire magic skills were extremely refined. Among the teachers in the mansion, his strength could be ranked among the top five.
Suddenly seeing so many demons, Zuo Mo felt his eyes widening in amazement. This group of demons had different forms, with the most being humanoid. Two of them were particularly eye-catching. One was a green tree-like demon, its numerous roots resembling small feet that moved extremely nimbly. Its personality was very lively and its branches were like soft whips, waving about from time to time. The other's body was composed of over a hundred lotus flowers that gathered and scattered in the air, constantly changing shape.
How can you tell whether it's male or female when it grows up like this?
This somewhat profound question stumped Zuo Mo.
His fiery red hair and majestic face, like a male lion's, didn't stand out in this group of freaks. However, Zuo Mo noticed him right away because his strength was the most powerful among these demons, and it wasn't just by a little bit.
Zai heard Chi's address to Nan Yue, and Zuo Mo immediately understood Chi's identity.
"Are you Nan Yue's teacher? Forgive me! I am Nan Yue's older cousin." Zuo Mo cupped his hands and smiled.
Older male cousin?
The eyes of all the monsters swept back and forth between Nan Yue and Zuo Mo, their expressions suddenly filled with doubt.
The old man's level of lying is really terrible! Nan Yue only felt embarrassed, and the old man and she had no resemblance from any angle. However, since the old man said so, she could only force herself to say: "My distant cousin."
The distant relatives finally showed a look of sudden realization among the crowd of monsters.
Such a ridiculous lie, it can deceive simple-minded students, but how could it possibly deceive an old fox like Chi who has so much experience? However, since the other party is not willing to explain their background, Chi will not insist on exposing them.
Everyone has secrets.
"Hello." Chi very politely greeted Zuo Mo, whose spiritual level was not as high as his, but was clearly a cut above these students. Considering the other's age, he obviously had exceptional talent.
Exceptional talent...
With a stir in his heart, he casually asked: "I wonder which famous mansion you are studying in?"
"I didn't go to the Department of Witchcraft." Zuomo shook his head honestly.
The crowd of demons couldn't believe what they were hearing as soon as he said this without going to the Demon Magic Bureau.
"Why don't you come up?" The tree demon curiously waved its branches, this guy looked familiar, and it quickly asked in a rapid-fire tone.
"I am a teacher's teaching."
Zuǒ Mò's answer immediately brought a burst of envy, the Demon Sect was a good place for ordinary demons, but being taken in by the teacher as a personal disciple meant getting more guidance. Chì àn nodded to himself, Zuǒ Mò hadn't lied about this question.
Suddenly, he thought of the series of small magic tricks that Nan Yue had used in the exam, could it be that her cousin had taught them to her? The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. He had taught Nan Yue's class and was quite familiar with this student. Nan Yue's diligence was indeed unquestionable, but her talent could only be considered good, not outstanding, like her stunning performance in the exam, which really didn't seem like her style.
It wasn't until then that Chi realized why Nan Xue had refused his offer, presumably because her cousin's teacher had also taken a liking to Nan Xue.
"May I ask for your esteemed name, sir?" Chi asked with a hint of respect. A glimpse of the pipe and he knew the whole leopard's spots - that astonishingly beautiful little magic trick had left Chi stunned for quite some time.
"Oh, his name is Pu." Zuo Mo's heart stirred as he said.
Pú? Chi Zi carefully searched for this name in his mind, but couldn't find anything, apparently it wasn't some famous big demon.
Nan Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes, the adults' ability to lie was indeed not ordinary. Zuo Mo's mention of "Pu" made Nan Yue think that he was just casually spouting nonsense, how could a demon treat their own teacher's name so carelessly?
As expected, all he heard was that flower demon coldly snorting: "If you don't want to say it then don't, why deceive people!"
Other monsters also nodded in agreement.
Zuo Mo suddenly became enraged, but instead of arguing, he took the opportunity to run to the Sea of Consciousness and scolded Pu Yao: "Pu, aren't you a heavenly demon? Why doesn't any demon recognize you? You're really too pathetic!"
Pu Yao's face didn't look too good.
Taking advantage of Pu Yao, Hua Yao's cold hum, Zuo Mo was completely unbothered.
Nan Yue secretly glanced at Zuo Mo, who was self-satisfied, and thought to herself that although the adults' lying skills were a bit poor, fortunately their faces were thick enough.
Chi Xiao didn't think that Zu Mo was lying, he had seen many powerful demons before and knew that many of them had strange personalities and didn't pay attention to these things. However, he didn't plan on wasting too much time on idle chatter, he smiled and said: "I brought them here today to take a look at the prison battlefield, it's getting late, let's take our leave first."
Zuo Mo hastily cupped his hands in a salute and then disappeared from view with a group of little demons.
When they were far away, Zuo Mo turned his face and asked Nan Yue: "What is the Prison Battlefield?"
Nan Yue's expression suddenly became somewhat strange. Didn't the adult know about the Prison Battlefield? She was a bit incredulous - which demon wouldn't know about the Prison Battlefield? However, she suppressed her doubts and replied honestly: "The Prison Battlefield is a place of actual combat, inside there are many demonic arrays, only by using demonic techniques can they be broken."
"Yao formation?" Zuo Mo's eyes lit up. Just this term alone sparked immense interest in him. Yao formation, literally "formation of demons", should be a formation used by demons, he wondered what differences it had with the talismans of cultivators.
He immediately said: "Hmmm, take me to see."
Nan Yue felt increasingly strange, but still respectfully said: "Yes!"
With six hours to spare, Mo had ample time and wasn't in a hurry. Along the way, he casually pointed out the variations of the Xiaoyao witchcraft, explaining each one in detail while also taking the opportunity to explain why he was able to break through the witchcraft last time.
Nan Yue benefited greatly, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the prison battlefield. For the first time, she felt that time was passing so quickly.
"Sir, this is the battlefield of prison!"
Zuo Mo curiously scanned the prison battlefield, and after just one glance, he couldn't tear his eyes away.
Innumerable winding rivers, curved and intersecting in the void, like countless crystal soft pipes, crisscrossing and weaving together. These rivers, some rapid, some slow, some reversing, were full of wonders. In the rivers, some grew colorful aquatic plants, while others had spotted fish swimming about. Luo Mo's gaze fell on a giant fish over thirty zhang in length, its blood-red mouth opening from time to time, making Luo Mo's heart feel somewhat tight.
Apart from rivers, other places are not empty either, thunderballs and fire clouds can be seen everywhere.
What an incredibly powerful demon array!
Carefully observing, Zu Mo suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and his eyes blurred, his heart was shocked! Whether it was the river course, or the aquatic plants and fish, or the fire clouds and thunderballs, they were all part of the grand formation, pulling one thread to move the entire body.
This is a "living" large array, and any change in any part of the large array will cause changes in the overall large array.
After gazing at it for a long time, he turned his face and asked Nan Yue: "How does this thing work?"
"What's the play?" Nan Yue was stunned again by Zuo Mo's strange question, and could only say: "Just charge in. The Ming Kong Prison Battlefield has three layers, if you can charge into the innermost layer, you'll be able to enter the second prison."
"The Second Prison?" Zuo Mo's eyes sparkled with excitement, Ten Prisons, could it be that there were ten levels? The First Prison had left him in awe, he wondered what the Second Prison would be like.
"Come on, let's go!" He said and pulled Nan Yue in.
Nan Yue didn't think that the adult would be so eager to charge in, and seeing the adult's excited expression, she wondered if they had really never come before. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hastily remind: "Adult, if we fail, there's a possibility of harming our divine consciousness."
"It's nothing."
Before the words of the adults had fallen, Nan Yue suddenly felt that the scene in front of her had changed, and it was all red!
Not good, Huoyun!
Her face changed greatly, on the battlefield of the prison, what she feared most was the kind of demonic art like Huoyun.
A flame dragon materialized and pounced on him, as if it had caught wind of a foul odor, bringing with it a scorching hot breath.
"How interesting!"
The sound of a grown-up's voice came from beside her ear, and only then did she remember that the grown-up was right next to her, and her heart, which had been lifted up, suddenly dropped down a lot.
Zuo Mo indeed found it interesting, this flame dragon was composed of seven linked fire spells, quite ingenious. The seven fire spells all originated from minor magic, not some complex magic, what it tested was the prisoner's reaction ability.
There were many ways to deal with the fire dragon, and Zuo Mo chose the simplest one.
Minor Demon Art: Water Blade!
A transparent water blade, plunged into the middle of a fire dragon.
Boom!
The fire dragon suddenly turned into seven fireballs and exploded with a loud noise.
Nan Yue's eyeballs almost fell out, the little magic trick that Master just used, she saw it clearly was abnormal. The aura contained in the fire dragon can let her roughly judge the power of the fire dragon. This fire dragon is naturally not difficult for Master, this point she has no doubt.
But it was just a splash of water!
And her water blade was no different from his... how could it be... how could it be...
She stared blankly at the flying sparks.
Zuo Mo suddenly noticed Nan Yue's expression and only then remembered that there was still a "follower" by his side, so he explained: "Pay attention to the structure of the fire dragon, seven kinds of fire magic linked together. This kind of magic, as long as you find the key node, it will be much easier."
Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in front of Zuo Mo.
Zuo Mo didn't panic and hastily raised his hand, a transparent water sphere appearing in front of him.
Minor Magic: Water Ball!
Lei Meng plunged into the water ball, and instantly the surface of the water ball lit up with countless electric sparks, crackling and sizzling.
"There's no trick to it, just react quickly." Zu Mo casually flicked away the layered electric water balls with his hand and said slowly, "The most basic point of using minor demonic arts is speed."
The words had barely fallen when countless water grasses suddenly went crazy and rolled over!
With a flick of his left hand, another fire dragon, identical to the one before, appeared and swirled around the two people, incinerating everything in its path.
"To learn and apply..."
He was a master of the situation, how cool and carefree he looked! Once again, he enjoyed the adoration of Nan Yue's gaze, his vanity was extremely satisfied.
Zuo Mo was completely unaware of the excitement he had caused, but his three consecutive strikes made the originally quiet prison battlefield seem like it had been awakened from a dream.
