第三千二百五十四章 血火蚁的妙用

jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū le dòng róng zhī sè 。.

即便以林轩的城府，脸上也不由得露出了动容之色。.

Even with Lin Xuan's composure, a trace of admiration flashed across his face.

jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yě méi yǒu yòng tú ， zhè kě yǒu xiē má fán le 。

九宫须臾剑也没有用途，这可有些麻烦了。

The Nine Palaces Needles had no use now. This was troublesome indeed.

zhēn xiān de shǒu duàn ， guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， qū qū yí gè jìn zhì ， jiù ràng zì jǐ shù shǒu wú cè ， bù guò xiàn zài hái bú dào fú shū de yī kè 。

真仙的手段，果然非同小可，区区一个禁制，就让自己束手无策，不过现在还不到服输的一刻。

Truly Immortal’s techniques were truly formidable; just aprohibition left him at a loss. But it wasn't time to concede yet.

wèi le bǎo wù ， zài lì hài de jìn zhì ， zì jǐ yě yí dìng yào xiǎng bàn fǎ jiāng qí pò chú 。

为了宝物，再厉害的禁制，自己也一定要想办法将其破除。

For the sake of treasures, he would find a way to break through any barrier, no matter how powerful.

lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ jué jué zhī sè 。

林轩眼中闪过一缕决绝之色。

Lin Xuan's eyes flickered with resolve.

suí hòu shēn shēn hū xī ， yī kǒu xiān xuè chōng zhe shēn qián de lián huā pēn le guò qù 。

随后深深呼吸，一口鲜血冲着身前的莲花喷了过去。

He then took a deep breath and spat out a mouthful of blood in front of the lotus flower.

“ pēng ” de yī shēng ， huà wèi xuè wù ， bèi nà yín sè de lián huā xī shōu jìn qù le 。

“嘭”的一声，化为血雾，被那银色的莲花吸收进去了。

"Bang," the blood turned into mist and was absorbed by the silver lotus.

suí hòu yī dào huī hóng de jiàn qì chōng tiān ér qǐ ， lián tiān jiē dì ， shēng shì nà jiào yí gè jīng rén yǐ jí 。

随后一道恢宏的剑气冲天而起，连天接地，声势那叫一个惊人以极。

Then, a majestic sword energy shot up to the sky, connecting heaven and earth. The momentum was astonishing.

jiàn qì zhī zhōng ， yùn hán yǒu sēn hán de fǎ zé zhī lì 。

剑气之中，蕴含有森寒的法则之力。

The sword energy contained frigid rule power.

dàn yī zhuǎn yǎn ， què yòu xùn sù yǐn qù ， suǒ yǒu de jiàn qì ， fǎng fú bèi yā suō zài yì qǐ ， huà wèi le yī xiān xì de jīng sī 。

但一转眼，却又迅速隐去，所有的剑气，仿佛被压缩在一起，化为了一纤细的晶丝。

But it vanished almost instantly, all the sword energies compressing together into a slender crystal thread.

fǎ zé zhī lì ， zé biàn dé jīng chún yǐ jí ， wán měi de róng rù zài le nà lǚ xiān xì de jīng sī lǐ 。

法则之力，则变得精纯以极，完美的融入在了那缕纤细的晶丝里。

The rule power became incredibly refined, perfectly integrating with that fine crystal thread.

“ qù ！”

“去！”

"Go!"

lín xuān zài cì yī zhǐ diǎn chū ， shì huǎn shí jí ， xiǎn de níng zhòng wú bǐ 。

林轩再次一指点出，似缓实急，显得凝重无比。

Lin Xuan pointed again, his movements deceptive yet urgent, exuding an air of gravity.

suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà lǚ jīng sī guāng máng dà zuò ， wú shù mǐ lì dà xiǎo de fú wén piāo sàn ér chū ， zài xū kōng zhōng yī huà ér guò 。

随着他的动作，那缕晶丝光芒大做，无数米粒大小的符文飘散而出，在虚空中一划而过。

As he moved, the crystal thread glowed brightly. Tiny runes scattered in the void, passing through it swiftly.

cī lā ……

刺啦……

Sizzle…

jiù shēng shì lái shuō ， yuǎn yuǎn wú fǎ yǔ gāng cái de jiàn máng rú xuě xiāng bǐ ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， bù dài fēn háo huǒ qì ， rán ér yuán běn píng jìng de xū kōng ， què kāi shǐ niǔ qū ， yòu guò piàn kè ， qīng cuì de pò liè shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， fǎng fú qīng cí diào zài dì shàng bèi dǎ pò 。

就声势来说，远远无法与刚才的剑芒如雪相比，甚至可以说，不带分毫火气，然而原本平静的虚空，却开始扭曲，又过片刻，清脆的破裂声传入耳里，仿佛青瓷掉在地上被打破。

Though its momentum couldn't compare to the previous sword beam, it didn't emit any fire aura either. The previously calm void began to distort. Moments later, a clear breaking sound echoed, like porcelain shattering on the ground.

shān fēng yě hǎo ， jù shí yě bà ， shèn zhì shì jiǎo xià de ní tǔ ， quán bù rú tóng yī fú huà juàn bān 。 bèi sī chě dé zhī lí pò suì le 。

山峰也好，巨石也罢，甚至是脚下的泥土，全部如同一幅画卷般。被撕扯得支离破碎了。

The mountain, the giant rocks, and even the soil beneath his feet seemed torn apart as if they were a scroll being ripped apart.

nà gǎn jué hěn nán yòng yán yǔ miáo shù 。

那感觉很难用言语描述。

It was hard to describe the sensation.

ér lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， què zhōng yú lù chū rú shì zhòng fù zhī sè ， rú guǒ gāng cái nà yī jī ， dōu wú fǎ jiāng jìn zhì pò chú 。 nà zì jǐ kě jiù zhēn de dào le qián lǘ jì qióng de dì bù 。

而林轩的脸上，却终于露出如释重负之色，如果刚才那一击，都无法将禁制破除。那自己可就真的到了黔驴技穷的地步。

But Lin Xuan finally showed a relieved expression. If that strike couldn't break through theprohibition, he would truly be at a loss.

hǎo zài dān xīn shì duō yú ， jìn zhì zhōng yú bèi pò kāi le 。

好在担心是多余，禁制终于被破开了。

Fortunately, the worry was unnecessary; theprohibition had been broken.

dāng kōng jiān bō dòng xiāo shī ， huāng mò cóng yǎn qián shī qù le zōng jì ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī piàn cǎo yuán chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。

当空间波动消失，荒漠从眼前失去了踪迹，取而代之的是一片草原出现在了视线里。

As spatial fluctuations faded away and the desert vanished from sight, a vast grassland appeared in his view.

qīng cǎo bì lǜ 。 líng qì gèng shì chōng zú ， ér zài cǎo yuán de jìn tóu ， yī dà piàn qún shān mián yán qǐ fú ， yán shēn xiàng tiān biān de jí yuǎn zhī chù ， zài shān fēng de jìn tóu ， wú shù qióng lóu yù yǔ ， ruò yǐn ruò xiàn ， lín xuān de liǎn sè ， què nán kàn dào jí diǎn 。

青草碧绿。灵气更是充足，而在草原的尽头，一大片群山绵延起伏，延伸像天边的极远之处，在山峰的尽头，无数琼楼玉宇，若隐若现，林轩的脸色，却难看到极点。

The green grass was lush, and the air brimmed with qi. At the end of the grassland, towering mountains stretched to the horizon. Beyond the peaks, countless magnificent buildings shimmered faintly. Lin Xuan's expression reached its peak.

zhè me duō 。 jiū jìng nǎ lǐ cái shì zhēn xiān de dòng fǔ ？

这么多。究竟哪里才是真仙的洞府？

So many... where could the True Immortal’s lair be?

yǎn qián zhè xiē jiàn zhù kě jiù bù zài shì huàn shù 。 ér shì zhēn mǎo shí cún zài de 。

眼前这些建筑可就不再是幻术。而是真冇实存在的。

These structures were no longer illusions but real existences.

rán ér tā men de zuò yòng yòu yǔ huàn shù xiāng chà fǎng fú 。

然而它们的作用又与幻术相差仿佛。

However, their purpose was similar to that of illusions—confusing treasure seekers so they couldn't find the true lair.

dōu shì wèi le mí huò 。 áng xún bǎo zhě zhǎo xún bú dào zhēn zhèng de dòng fǔ 。

都是为了迷惑。昂寻宝者找寻不到真正的洞府。

Since these buildings were real, techniques like Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes and Nine Palaces Needles, which could dispel illusions, became useless.

yīn wèi shì zhēn mǎo shí cún zài de jiàn zhù ， suǒ yǐ tiān fèng shén mù yě hǎo ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yě bà 。 gè zhǒng pò chú zhàng yǎn fǎ de mì shù ， fǎn ér méi yǒu le yòng tú 。

因为是真冇实存在的建筑，所以天凤神目也好，九宫须臾剑也罢。各种破除障眼法的秘术，反而没有了用途。

The True Immortal’s methods truly deserved admiration. It was akin to returning to simplicity.

zhēn xiān de shǒu duàn 。 guǒ rán lìng rén pèi fú ， zhè dào lǐ jiù yǔ fǎn pú guī zhēn shì yī yàng de 。

真仙的手段。果然令人佩服，这道理就与返璞归真是一样的。

Lin Xuan sighed; he hadn’t expected such a challenge.

lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， méi xiǎng dào zì jǐ huì miàn lín zhè yàng de nán tí 。

林轩叹了口气，没想到自己会面临这样的难题。

But he showed no signs of discouragement.

bù guò tā dào yě bìng wú qì něi zhī yì 。

不过他倒也并无气馁之意。

As the saying went, you have your Zhāng Liáng's strategy, and I have my ladder over the wall. Although this scene left him scratching his head, careful consideration revealed possible solutions.

sú huà shuō ， nǐ yǒu nǐ de zhāng liáng jì ， wǒ yǒu wǒ de guò qiáng tī ， yǎn qián de yí mù ， suī rán lìng rén náo tóu bù yǐ ， dàn zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng ， yě wèi bì méi yǒu jiě jué de zhǔ yì 。

俗话说，你有你的张良计，我有我的过墙梯，眼前的一幕，虽然令人挠头不已，但仔细想想，也未必没有解决的主意。

Lin Xuan’s reaction was swift; after a moment of frowning, he regained his composure. He waved his sleeves, and a spiritual light shot out.

lín xuān de fǎn yìng kě shì hěn kuài dì ， zhòu méi jǐn jǐn shì yī shùn jiān ér yǐ ， hěn kuài tā de liǎn shàng ， jiù huī fù le cháng sè ， suí hòu xiù páo yī fú ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī dào líng guāng fēi shè ér chū 。

林轩的反应可是很快地，皱眉仅仅是一瞬间而已，很快他的脸上，就恢复了常色，随后袖袍一拂，随着他的动作，一道灵光飞射而出。

Soon, the light flickered, revealing a tower-shaped treasure.

shǎo qǐng ， líng guāng shǎn kāi ， yī bǎo tǎ xíng zhuàng mǎo de bǎo wù fú xiàn yú yǎn lián 。

少顷，灵光闪开，一宝塔形状冇的宝物浮现于眼帘。

A buzzing sound filled his ears as the first layer of the tower slowly opened. The sound of insects was piercing, and a black-red insect cloud appeared in his view.

suí hòu wēng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bái guāng dà zuò ， bǎo tǎ de dì yī céng huǎn huǎn dǎ kāi le ， chóng míng shēng cì ěr yǐ jí ， yī duǒ shù mǔ dà xiǎo de hēi hóng sè chóng yún chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。

随后嗡鸣声传入耳朵，白光大做，宝塔的第一层缓缓打开了，虫鸣声刺耳以极，一朵数亩大小的黑红色虫云出现在了视线里。

Bloodfire Ants!

xuè huǒ yǐ ！

血火蚁！

At Lin Xuan's level, Bloodfire Ants were no longer useful; even with more numbers, they couldn't guarantee victory.

shí lì dào le lín xuān zhè ge děng jí ， xuè huǒ yǐ yǐ méi yǒu le duō dà yòng tú ， jí biàn shù liàng zài duō ， yě nán yǐ qǐ dào kè dí zhì shèng de xiào guǒ 。

实力到了林轩这个等级，血火蚁已没有了多大用途，即便数量再多，也难以起到克敌制胜的效果。

But given the current situation, if used properly, they could be very helpful.

rán ér jiù yǎn qián de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， zhǐ yào yùn yòng dé dàng ， què néng pài shàng dà yòng chǎng 。

然而就眼前的情况来说，只要运用得当，却能派上大用场。

"Go!"

“ qù ！”

“去！”

Lin Xuan pointed forward. His technique of controlling insects was well-practiced. Though it couldn’t match the grandmasters who raised spiritual beasts and insects, he had his own insights.

lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， tā de yù chóng shù yǐ shì jià qīng jiù shú ， suī rán yī xiē jīng wēi ào miào zhī chù ， wú fǎ yǔ yǐ sì yǎng líng shòu líng chóng chū míng de dà shì lì de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo xiāng bǐ ， dàn yě yǒu zì jǐ de yī xiē lǐng wù 。

林轩一指向前点出，他的驭虫术已是驾轻就熟，虽然一些精微奥妙之处，无法与以饲养灵兽灵虫出名的大势力的太上长老相比，但也有自己的一些领悟。

As he moved, the giant insect cloud split open with a buzzing sound.

zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò qí yì de guǐ jì ， kǒu zhōng yě tǔ chū shén mì ér gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò 。

只见他双手在虚空中划过奇异的轨迹，口中也吐出神秘而古朴的咒语，随着他的动作。

Bloodfire Ants were no longer suitable for combat but were perfect for exploration.

nà duǒ jù mǎo dà de chóng yún “ wēng ” de yī xià fēn kāi le 。

那朵巨冇大的虫云“嗡”的一下分开了。

The pavilions and buildings in front of him were numerous. The undulating mountains were filled with magnificent structures.

xuè huǒ yǐ yǐ jīng bú shì hé yòng lái yù dí ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì tàn lù ， zì rán fēn háo wèn tí yě wú 。

血火蚁已经不适合用来御敌，但仅仅是探路，自然分毫问题也无。

But how many more?

yǎn qián de tíng tái lóu gé shù liàng tài duō ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， nà mián yán qǐ fú de qún shān shàng dào chù dōu shì qióng lóu yù yǔ bān de jiàn zhù 。

眼前的亭台楼阁数量太多，放眼望去，那绵延起伏的群山上到处都是琼楼玉宇般的建筑。

Could they match his Bloodfire Ants?

dàn zài duō yòu rú hé ？

但再多又如何？

Lin Xuan didn’t need precise information on the True Immortal’s lair, but even a hint would be beneficial.

qí shù liàng néng yǔ zì jǐ de xuè huǒ yǐ xiāng bǐ ？

其数量能与自己的血火蚁相比？

For now, Lin Xuan did nothing and floated in place, believing that these Bloodfire Ants would soon lead him to clues. Perhaps there would be unexpected rewards; if his guess was correct, the Blood Moon Demon Toad had definitely come here.

lín xuān bù xū yào tā men zhǔn què de zhǎo chū zhēn xiān dòng fǔ ， dàn nǎ pà shì yī xiē zhū sī mǎ jì ， yě huì duì zì jǐ dà yǒu bāng zhù 。

林轩不需要它们准确的找出真仙洞府，但哪怕是一些蛛丝马迹，也会对自己大有帮助。

However, its whereabouts were still unclear.

jiē xià lái ， lín xuān shén me yě bù zuò ， jiù jìng jìng de zài yuán dì xuán fú ， tā xiāng xìn yòng bù liǎo duō jiǔ de gōng fu ， zhè xiē xuè huǒ yǐ jiù huì wèi zì jǐ lái dào xiàn suǒ 。

接下来，林轩什么也不做，就静静的在原地悬浮，他相信用不了多久的功夫，这些血火蚁就会为自己来到线索。

In any case, Lin Xuan waited quietly.

yě xǔ hái huì yǒu yì wài shōu huò ， rú guǒ méi yǒu liào cuò ， nà xuè yuè mó chán bǎi fēn zhī bǎi yě lái zhè lǐ le 。

也许还会有意外收获，如果没有料错，那血月魔蟾百分之百也来这里了。

Sure enough, after about a cup of tea’s time, a small insect cloud returned.

zhǐ shì jiū jìng zài hé chù ， yī shí què nán yǐ shuō dé qīng chǔ 。

只是究竟在何处，一时却难以说得清楚。

Not many in number, only over a hundred Bloodfire Ants.

zǒng zhī ， lín xuān jiù zhè me jìng jìng de děng dài zhe 。

总之，林轩就这么静静的等待着。

But Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy. He immediately released his spirit sense.

guǒ rán ， dà yuē guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu 。

果然，大约过了一盏茶的功夫。

Bloodfire Ants couldn’t speak, but through the spirit sense, he could obtain the clues he needed.

yī duǒ xiǎo xiǎo de chóng yún fēi le huí lái 。

一朵小小的虫云飞了回来。

Soon, Lin Xuan’s expression showed understanding.

shù liàng bìng bù duō ， cū lüè yī shù ， gòu chéng tā de xuè huǒ yǐ yě bù guò bǎi yú zhǐ bà le 。

数量并不多，粗略一数，构成它的血火蚁也不过百余只罢了。

As expected, using Bloodfire Ants to explore was very practical. Though they hadn't pinpointed the True Immortal's lair, they had excluded many areas.

rán ér lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， què liú lù chū jí wéi huān xǐ de shén sè ， lián máng jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。

然而林轩的脸上，却流露出极为欢喜的神色，连忙将神识放出。

At the same time, some hints were gathered, allowing him to deduce the location of the True Immortal’s ruins with more certainty.

xuè huǒ yǐ zì rán bú huì shuō huà ， rán ér tōng guò shén shí ， què kě yǐ cóng tā men nà lǐ huò dé zì jǐ xiǎng yào de xiàn suǒ 。

血火蚁自然不会说话，然而通过神识，却可以从它们那里获得自己想要的线索。

Though he couldn’t be one hundred percent sure, his gaze no longer held any confusion.

hěn kuài ， lín xuān liǎn shàng jiù lù chū liǎo liǎo rán zhī sè 。

很快，林轩脸上就露出了了然之色。

The only regret was still lacking clues about the Blood Moon Demon Toad.

zhèng rú zì jǐ de yù jì ， yòng xuè huǒ yǐ tàn lù zhè yī zhāo ， shì jí wéi shí yòng dì ， suī rán méi yǒu què qiè de zhǎo chū nǎ lǐ shì zhēn xiān dòng fǔ ， dàn què jiāng bù shǎo dì fāng pái chú 。

正如自己的预计，用血火蚁探路这一招，是极为实用地，虽然没有确切的找出哪里是真仙洞府，但却将不少地方排除。

That creature seemed to have vanished into thin air.

tóng shí ， yě huò dé le yī xiē zhū sī mǎ jì ， zài jīng guò zì jǐ de tuī lǐ fēn xī ， lín xuān duì yú zhēn xiān yí jì wèi yú hé chù ， xīn zhōng duō shǎo yě jiù yǒu le pǔ ér 。

同时，也获得了一些蛛丝马迹，再经过自己的推理分析，林轩对于真仙遗迹位于何处，心中多少也就有了谱儿。

But Lin Xuan didn't believe it wasn’t here. It was far more cunning than expected.

bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò bù gǎn shuō ， dàn tā tái qǐ tóu lú ， yǎn shén zhōng yǐ zài yě méi yǒu le mí máng zhī sè 。

百分之百的把握不敢说，但他抬起头颅，眼神中已再也没有了迷茫之色。

As they say, a clear arrow is easy to dodge, but a hidden one is hard to guard against. Since the hidden one was a True Spirit-level powerhouse, Lin Xuan couldn’t afford any complacency; he didn’t want to capsize in a ditch here.

wéi yī yí hàn de jiù shì yī jiù méi yǒu xuè yuè mó chán de xiàn suǒ 。

唯一遗憾的就是依旧没有血月魔蟾的线索。

Thoughts raced through his mind, but Lin Xuan showed no signs of fear.

zhè jiā huo ， fǎng fú píng kōng xiāo shī le 。

这家伙，仿佛凭空消失了。

He just needed to be cautious and not overreact. His body glowed with green light as he flew towards the left front.

dàn zhēn de yào shuō tā bù zài cǐ chù ， lín xuān què shì jué bù xiāng xìn de 。

但真的要说它不在此处，林轩却是绝不相信的。

His evasion speed was swift. Soon, the mountains were close at hand.

zhè jiā huo ， bǐ xiǎng xiàng de ， hái yào jiǎo huá xǔ duō 。

这家伙，比想象的，还要狡猾许多。

The palace on the mountain became clearer; up close, it was even more magnificent.

sú huà shuō ， míng qiāng yì duǒ àn jiàn nán fáng ， gèng hé kuàng duǒ zài àn chù de ， hái shì zhēn líng jí bié de qiáng zhě ， gù ér jí biàn shì lín xuān ， yě bù gǎn yǒu bàn fēn de qīng hū ， tā kě bù xiǎng ， yīn gōu lǐ fān chuán zài cǐ chù 。

俗话说，明枪易躲暗箭难防，更何况躲在暗处的，还是真灵级别的强者，故而即便是林轩，也不敢有半分的轻忽，他可不想，阴沟里翻船在此处。

But Lin Xuan ignored them and flew past.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， dàn lín xuān yě méi yǒu biǎo xiàn chū tài duō de wèi jù zhī sè 。

脑海中念头转过，但林轩也没有表现出太多的畏惧之色。

He passed several palaces without hesitation. After a while, he finally stopped.
