lǎo hǔ suī qiáng ， què bàn bù gǎn yǔ láng qún dǐng gāng ， yǐ duō yǎo sǐ xiàng ！
老虎虽强，却办不敢与狼群顶杠，蚁多咬sǐ象！
The tiger, though strong, dared not face the wolf pack head-on. Many ants can bite an elephant!
lín xuān shǒu qīng qīng yī dǒu ， màn tiān de mó qì fēng yōng ér rù ， shù yǐ bǎi jì de fú lù ， tóng shí wú fēng zì rán ， nà jǐng xiàng fēi cháng de zhuàng guān 。～ suí mèng xiǎo shuō ，.com
林轩手轻轻一抖，漫天的魔气蜂拥而入，数以百计的符箓，同时无风自燃，那景象非常的壮观。～随夢小說，.com
Lin Xuan's hand gently shook, and a myriad of magical energies surged in, hundreds of talismans ignited on their own, creating a spectacular scene.
shào nián bó rán sè biàn 。
少年勃然色变。
The young man's expression changed dramatically.
fú lù de zuò yòng tā xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， rán ér nǎ yǒu rén zhè yàng yòng de 。
符箓的作用他心中有数，然而哪有人这样用的。
He knew the power of these talismans, but who would use them so extravagantly? He had seen extravagant cultivators before, but never anyone as wasteful. Talismans were common items that even cultivators and holy beings often carried, but using hundreds at once was unheard of.
jiàn guò shē chǐ de xiū xiān zhě ， méi xiǎng guò shuí huì shē chǐ dào zhè bān dì bù ， fú lù zuò wéi cháng yòng zhī wù ， bù lùn xiū shì hái shì shèng zú shēn shàng dài shàng yì diǎn nà dōu shì zài zhèng cháng bù guò ， dàn tóng shí shǐ yòng shù yǐ bǎi jì de fú lù ， yǐ qián bié shuō jiàn le ， lián tīng dōu bù céng tīng shuō 。
见过奢侈的修仙者，没想过谁会奢侈到这般地步，符箓作为常用之物，不论修士还是圣族身上带上一点那都是再正常不过，但同时使用数以百计的符箓，以前别说见了，连听都不曾听说。
Thunderbolts, lightning flames, wind blades, and earth needles appeared, raining down like a storm towards him.
shà duì jiān ， bīng shǐ léi huǒ ， fēng rèn dì cì ， fēn fēn fú xiàn ér chū ， rú léi tíng bào yǔ ， xiàng zhe tā qīng xiè guò qù 。
霎对间，冰矢雷火，风刃地刺，纷纷浮现而出，如雷霆暴雨，向着他倾泻过去。
The ghost claws' power wasn't weak, but against so many talisman attacks, they were mere vapor. Even the young man's demonic fog couldn't avoid them, being enveloped by the barrage of attacks.
nà guǐ zhǎo de wēi lì suī rán bù ruò ， rán ér miàn duì shù yǐ bǎi jì de gōng jī fú ， yě bù guò shì fú yún bà le ， lián shào nián huà shēn de mó wù yě duǒ wú kě duǒ ， bèi bīn fēn de gōng jī lǒng zhào zhù 。
那鬼爪的威力虽然不弱，然而面对数以百计的攻击符，也不过是浮云罢了，连少年化身的魔雾也躲无可躲，被缤纷的攻击笼罩住。
"Ahh!"
“ áo ！”
“嗷！”
The angry roar echoed in his ears, yet Lin Xuan didn't stop. He raised his right hand and struck it towards his waist.
jīng nù áng cháng de hǒu jiào chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān què bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ jiù bà shǒu 。
惊怒昂常的吼叫传入耳朵，林轩却并没有因此就罢手。
A dazzling light shone as a broken-down tower appeared before him. With seven layers, it looked ancient and worn out, but without saying, one might not recognize its status as a top-grade treasure.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， xiàng zhe yāo jiān pāi qù 。
右手抬起，向着腰间拍去。
Lin Xuan cast a spell.
zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yào mù ， yī pò pò làn làn de bǎo tǎ fú xiàn ér chū 。
只见灵光耀目，一破破烂烂的宝塔浮现而出。
A creaking sound filled the air as the first layer of the Ten Thousand Soul Tower slowly opened, revealing a blinding white light that transformed into a vortex. A blood-red insect cloud emerged from it.
fēn qī céng ， kàn shàng qù pò jiù gǔ piáo ， rú guǒ bù shuō ， hěn nán fēn biàn chū zhè yě shì yī líng bǎo jí bié de qiǎng shǒu wù 。
分七层，看上去破旧古朴，如果不说，很难分辨出这也是一灵宝级别的抢手物。
Bloodfire ants!
lín xuān yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。
林轩一道法诀打出。
And they were countless, like a crimson wave rushing towards their opponent.
zhī ya shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wàn hún tǎ de dì yī céng huǎn huǎn dǎ kāi le ， yī tuán cì mù bái guāng yìng rù yǎn lián ， suí hòu nà bái guāng huà wèi le yí gè xuán wō ， wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， yī duǒ xuè hóng sè de chóng yún cóng lǐ miàn fēi chū lái le 。
吱呀声传入耳朵，万魂塔的第一层缓缓打开了，一团刺目白光映入眼帘，随后那白光化为了一个漩涡，嗡鸣声大做，一朵血红色的虫云从里面飞出来了。
These demonic insects had weak individual combat power, but in numbers, they could be devastating. The explosions of the first batch of bloodfire ants began.
ér qiě shì pū tiān gài dì ， rú tóng xuè sè de bō làng yì bān xiàng zhe duì shǒu fēng yōng le guò qù 。
而且是铺天盖地，如同血色的波浪一般向着对手蜂拥了过去。
The explosions didn't cease as the first ones closest to the ancient demon exploded. Bloodfire ants had immunity among themselves, so their explosions wouldn't affect their comrades. Moreover, the residual effects could nourish other ants, enhancing them.
zhè zhǒng mó chóng dān tǐ zhàn dòu lì bù qiáng ， ér yǎn qián de gǔ mó yòu tài kě bù ， suǒ yǐ cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yě gù bù dé xīn téng yǔ cáng zhuō ， yī cì fàng chū le shàng yì zhī duō 。
这种魔虫单体战斗力不强，而眼前的古魔又太可怖，所以此时此刻，林轩也顾不得心疼与藏拙，一次放出了上亿之多。
This series of consecutive explosions bought valuable time. Although Lin Xuan had let some of the ancient demon's restraints be partially activated, using bloodfire ants was a wise choice. The ancient demon tried various escape techniques, transforming into faint black mist, thin black threads, or even its true form with hard scales covering its body. None of these tactics worked as they were easily bounced back.
fǎn zhèng zhǐ yào yǒu yǐ hòu zài ， jiā yǐ shí rì， zì jǐ yòu kě yǐ jiāng tā men chóng xīn fán zhí chū lái 。
反正只要有蚁后在，加以时rì，自己又可以将它们重新繁殖出来。
The explosions from the bloodfire ants couldn't hurt it directly but could certainly delay and obstruct it.
nà shàng gǔ jù mù suī rán páng bó ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， dōu yǐ jīng zhuāng bù xià le 。
那上古巨墓虽然磅礴，但此时此刻，都已经装不下了。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had already traveled over ten thousand miles at lightning speed. His expression was grave; this attempt to find a treasure left by a three-eyed saint had turned into a fiasco.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， màn tiān dōu shì mó chóng ， zhěng gè kōng jiān ， bèi tián dé mǎn mǎn de 。
放眼望去，漫天都是魔虫，整个空间，被填得满满的。
He originally thought he would get some valuable item from the three-eyed saint, but instead, he nearly lost his life. He couldn't help feeling depressed.
shèn zhì yú lín xuān zì jǐ ， dōu bèi xuè huǒ yǐ gěi jǐ le chū qù ， bù guò zhè duì tā lái shuō ， shì yǒu bǎi lì ér wú yī hài dì 。
甚至于林轩自己，都被血火蚁给挤了出去，不过这对他来说，是有百利而无一害地。
However, Lin Xuan knew that depression wouldn't solve anything. In the world of cultivation, obstacles were everywhere; it was impossible to always find treasures without setbacks.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， lín xuān jiāng wàn hún tǎ yī juàn ， suí hòu pò kōng fēi xiàng le dì dǐ shàng miàn 。
袖袍一拂，一道青霞飞掠而出，林轩将万魂塔一卷，随后破空飞向了地底上面。
Good fortune didn't last forever, and sometimes facing some hardships was normal.
ér nà shào nián de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， yǐ pá mǎn le mó chóng ， xuè huǒ yǐ cái bù guǎn nǐ shì shén me xíng tài ， dà kǒu dà kǒu de pīn mìng kěn shì zhe 。
而那少年的身体表面，已爬满了魔虫，血火蚁才不管你是什么形态，大口大口的拼命啃噬着。
Instead of moping around, he needed to think about how to escape his current predicament. In the Ice Flame Valley, none of his life-preserving items could be used due to its dangerous environment.
“ kě wù ， qū qū lā jī mó chóng ， yě xiǎng yào wéi kùn běn shèng zǔ 。”
“可恶，区区垃圾魔虫，也想要围困本圣祖。”
In fact, when he was in White Float City's Fu Family, he had obtained a random teleportation talisman.
mó wù zhōng xiǎn chū nà shào nián de liǎn kǒng ， zhēng níng de lì sè yī shǎn ér guò ， jiù xiǎng yào shǐ yòng shén me bù dé le de shén tōng ， rán ér zhè shí hòu ， lín xuān què qiǎng xiān yī bù dòng shǒu 。
魔雾中显出那少年的脸孔，狰狞的厉色一闪而过，就想要使用什么不得了的神通，然而这时候，林轩却抢先一步动手。
This talisman allowed for long-distance travel as soon as it was activated. Even against powerful enemies, one could easily escape. At that distance, even True Monarchs couldn't sense him.
shuāng shǒu yī wò ， xuè huǒ yǐ zài tā shén niàn de cuī shǐ xià bào zhà le 。
双手一握，血火蚁在他神念的催使下爆炸了。
But the Ice Flame Valley had been torn apart by ancient demons' battles, making its space unstable. Using such a teleportation talisman would cause more damage to the space, potentially leading to space storms or even space chaos.
hōng jīng lóng ！
轰经隆！
Lin Xuan couldn't use these items in the Ice Flame Valley, so he had to rely on ordinary escape techniques.
bào liè shēng bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， shàng yì xuè huǒ yǐ dāng rán bù kě néng shì yì qǐ zì bào de 。
爆裂声不绝于耳朵，上亿血火蚁当然不可能是一起自爆的。
Despite his formidable strength, Lin Xuan's speed was still incredible. However, the time bought by the bloodfire ants was limited; it would be hard for him to escape the Ice Flame Valley.
kào jìn gǔ mó de xiān bào ， fǎn zhèng xuè huǒ yǐ xiāng hù zhī jiān ， yǒu tóng zú miǎn yì ， nà bào zhà de wēi lì ， bú huì jiāng tóng bàn xí juǎn jìn qù ， bù jǐn rú cǐ ， bào zhà de yú bō ， hái kě yǐ bèi hòu miàn de xuè huǒ yǐ xī shōu ， cóng ér qǐ dào zī yǎng de xiào guǒ 。
靠近古魔的先爆，反正血火蚁相互之间，有同族免疫，那爆炸的威力，不会将同伴席卷进去，不仅如此，爆炸的余波，还可以被后面的血火蚁吸收，从而起到滋养的效果。
As he fled, Lin Xuan estimated and thought about his options. He wasn't being pessimistic but facing a dire situation. The environment in the Ice Flame Valley made it difficult to enter or leave. There was only one path out of the valley, which he knew well. But the ancient demon also knew this, so even if he escaped from its sensory range, it would still track him down.
ér zhè zhǒng yī bō jiē yī bō de lián bào yě yǒu hǎo chù ， kě yǐ qǐ dào tuō yán shí jiān de xiào guǒ 。
而这种一波接一波的连爆也有好处，可以起到拖延时间的效果。
Lin Xuan considered hiding and waiting for a chance to escape, but that strategy wouldn't work either. The ancient demon could easily guess his hiding spot. To break through, they only needed to block the path, making it impossible for Lin Xuan to escape. Even with the vast area of the Ice Flame Valley, they could search inch by inch if necessary.
lín xuān suī rán bǎi mì yī shū ， ràng duì fāng jiāng 〖 tǐ 〗 nèi de jìn zhì ， liàn huà le yī xiǎo bàn ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā shǐ yòng xuè huǒ yǐ què shì fēi cháng zhèng què de xuǎn zé ， nà bèi wéi zài zhōng jiān de gǔ mó ， yī lián shī zhǎn le shù zhǒng dùn shù ， yī huì er huà wèi qīng dàn hēi qì ， yī huì er huà wèi xiān xì dì hēi sī ， yī huì er shèn zhì xiǎn chū yuán xíng ， shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， bèi hòuhòu de lín jiǎ bāo guǒ ， yìng dǐng zhe wǎng wài chōng ， rán ér bù guǎn tā shǐ yòng shén me dùn shù ， dōu bèi qīng ér yì jǔ de fǎn tán huí lái le 。
林轩虽然百密一疏，让对方将〖体〗内的禁制，炼化了一小半，然而此时此刻，他使用血火蚁却是非常正确的选择，那被围在中间的古魔，一连施展了数种遁术，一会儿化为轻淡黑气，一会儿化为纤细地黑丝，一会儿甚至显出原型，身体表面，被hòuhòu的鳞甲包裹，硬顶着往外冲，然而不管它使用什么遁术，都被轻而易举的反弹回来了。
Thus, hiding would result in being trapped like a fish in a pot.
xuè huǒ yǐ de bào zhà ， huò xǔ shāng tā bù dé ， bù guò jǐn jǐn shì zǔ zhǐ tuō yán hái shì zuò dé dào de 。
血火蚁的爆炸，或许伤他不得，不过仅仅是阻止拖延还是做得到的。
He had two choices: either try to escape or hide temporarily and hope for better luck later.
zài shuō lìng yī biān 。
再说另一边。
After weighing his options, he decided to flee first. If caught, he would think of another plan.
lín xuān fēng chí diàn chè ， zǎo yǐ zài wàn yú lǐ zhī wài le 。
林轩风驰电掣，早已在万余里之外了。
Lin Xuan's flight continued at incredible speed. After several breaths, he suddenly turned his head left.
dùn guāng zhōng ， tā de biǎo qíng fèn wài yán sù ， zhè yī cì ， hái zhēn shì tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ 。
遁光中，他的表情分外严肃，这一次，还真是偷鸡不成蚀把米。
A brilliant streak appeared in his vision—a dark one, but still eye-catching. It was moving fast, matching his own speed and heading towards him.
yuán běn ， yǐ wéi kě yǐ dé dào sān yǎn shèng zǔ yí liú xià lái de bǎo wù ， méi xiǎng dào zuì hòu de jié guǒ ， què shì chà diǎn jiāng xiǎo mìng ér sòng zài cǐ chù ， yào shuō bù yù mèn ， nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén 。
原本，以为可以得到三眼圣祖遗留下来的宝物，没想到最后的结果，却是差点将小命儿送在此处，要说不郁闷，那肯定是骗人。
Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely grim as a warning sign flashed through his mind. The sudden appearance of an unexpected guest made the situation dire.
bù guò lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， yù mèn yě méi yǒu yòng ， xiū xiān jiè chù chù jīng jí ， nǎ yǒu kě néng měi cì xún zhǎo bǎo wù ， dōu néng gòu mǎn zài ér guī ne ？
不过林轩心中有数，郁闷也没有用，修仙界处处荆棘，哪有可能每次寻找宝物，都能够满载而归呢？
Who could it be?
hǎo yùn bú huì yǒng yuǎn zài zì jǐ yī cè ， yǒu shí hòu chī diǎn kǔ tóu ， yě shì hěn zhèng cháng de 。
好运不会永远在自己一侧，有时候吃点苦头，也是很正常的。
But at this moment, guessing didn't help. Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword appeared in his sleeve.
rú jīn yǔ qí zài zhè lǐ niàn dāo méi yòng de ， bù rú xiǎng xiǎng ， gāi zěn me yàng táo chū yǎn qián de láo lóng ， yào zhī dào zài bīng yán gǔ ， zì jǐ shǒu zhōng de yī xiē bǎo mìng zhī wù ， gēn běn jiù méi fǎ yòng 。
如今与其在这里念叨没用的，不如想想，该怎么样逃出眼前的牢笼，要知道在冰炎谷，自己手中的一些保命之物，根本就没法用。
Before he could finish his thoughts, two streaks of light grew closer. With his keen eyesight, he could already make out their faces.
The tiger, though strong, dared not face the wolf pack head-on. Many ants can bite an elephant!
Lin Xuan's hand gently shook, and a myriad of magical energies surged in, hundreds of talismans ignited on their own, creating a spectacular scene.
The young man's expression changed dramatically.
He knew the power of these talismans, but who would use them so extravagantly? He had seen extravagant cultivators before, but never anyone as wasteful. Talismans were common items that even cultivators and holy beings often carried, but using hundreds at once was unheard of.
