It was directly shattered by Xiao Shi.
Swoosh!
Xiao Shi did not stop. After shattering this mirror image, he charged at the other three mirror images at an even faster speed. Accompanied by the sound of a mirror shattering, these three mirror images were all blasted apart by Xiao Shi.
Although their bodies were extremely sturdy as mirror images of demon avatars, Xiao Shi’s body was not weak either. In addition, these mirror images had only inherited about 20% of the demon avatar’s strength. Even though they had the advantage in numbers, they were not Xiao Shi’s match at all.
After dealing with the four mirror images in front of him as quickly as possible, Xiao Shi quickly rushed to support the guards. He could even easily destroy the mirror images of his demon avatar. The mirror images of these guards were even simpler for him.
Xiao Shi turned into a ray of light. Wherever it passed, the mirror images of these guards exploded. He had only used less than ten seconds before he shattered all the mirror images that appeared, leaving none behind.
He did not relax because of this. Instead, he frowned. He felt that something was wrong!
This checkpoint was a little too simple. Other Martial Demon Realm cultivators might not be able to break the mirror image so easily, especially when soul power was ineffective against the mirror image, and it would definitely make them feel troubled. After all, to Martial Demon Realm martial artists, their souls had already fused with their bodies. Every attack they carried carried soul power.
Once his soul power was ineffective, the power of their attacks on the mirror image would be greatly reduced. This would make them unable to kill the mirror image as efficiently and quickly as Xiao Shi.
But in a situation where these mirror images only had 20% of the demon avatar’s strength, even if the other Martial Demon Realm cultivators could not quickly kill them, it was not a problem for them.
They could completely kill these mirror images without using their exclusive items. It just needed more time.
Xiao Shi felt that this level of difficulty was not much stronger than the first round.
It was really strange!
“Normally speaking, these checkpoints will definitely become more and more difficult. If it’s all so simple, the existence of these checkpoints will be meaningless.”
Xiao Shi’s instincts told him that this checkpoint had an even greater danger hidden! He immediately led the guards and quickly advanced, wanting to leave this checkpoint as soon as possible.
However, the characteristics of this ice plain made their speed unable to increase at all. Even if Xiao Shi could maintain a relatively fast speed with his own ability, the guards behind him could only advance slowly step by step.
This gave Xiao Shi a headache. Unless he ignored them, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to escape quickly.
As time passed, the uneasiness in Xiao Shi’s heart grew stronger. However, their speed was still slow. At the same time, the range of this ice plain was larger than he had imagined. Even after advancing for a long time, there was still no end to it.
At this moment, ripples appeared on the frost ground under their feet again. Under the spread of these ripples, new mirror images immediately rose from the ground. The number of mirror images that appeared this time was shockingly more than before.
Previously, four mirror images had appeared in Xiao Shi’s place. Now, there were six of them! Three mirror images also appeared on the other guards.
“As expected, it’s not that simple!” Xiao Shi’s eyes turned cold. He realized that these mirror images would most likely appear with time. It was almost an hour from the previous time until now. “In other words, every hour, a new batch of mirror images will form on this ice plain, and the number will be greater than before!”
Xiao Shi concluded the pattern. So the longer he stayed in this ice plain, the more dangerous it would be. There would be an endless stream of mirror images. “No wonder this ice plain restricts one’s speed. If we can’t escape quickly, we have to face wave after wave of mirror images!”
Xiao Shi finally understood the danger of this checkpoint. In response, he could only continue to attack and destroy these mirror images as quickly as possible.
Boom!!
When he collided with one of the mirror images, although this mirror image was also shattered by Xiao Shi’s punch, he realized that the strength of this mirror image had increased significantly compared to before.
If the strength of the previous mirror image was about 20% of the demon avatar’s strength, the current mirror image already had 30% of the demon avatar’s strength.
Xiao Shi’s heart sank. If these mirror images were only an increase in numbers, then no matter how many there were, Xiao Shi would not feel pressured. In front of absolute strength, no matter how many there were, it was useless.
However, if these mirror images had an increase in strength apart from their numbers every time they appeared, even Xiao Shi would face danger! Once these mirror images reached 70% or 80% of the demon avatar’s strength, Xiao Shi would also find it troublesome under a group attack.
In fact, if the strength of these mirror images reached 100% of the demon avatar, Xiao Shi could at most deal with one alone. However, according to the current pattern, when the strength of the mirror image reaches 100% of the demon avatar, there would be 20 of them!
Once it reached this stage, Xiao Shi would fall into a huge crisis. After all, the demon avatar’s strength was not inferior to his main body to begin with. Especially since soul attacks were ineffective, Xiao Shi was at most on par with the demon avatar.
“I can’t fall into this situation!” Xiao Shi took a deep breath. If destroying these mirror images could also drop items, he did not mind staying here and killing them. However, he would only drop items when he killed a life.
Mirror images were not considered life forms. Naturally, it would not drop any items. There was only one path in front of him now, and that was to think of a way to leave this place as soon as possible.
After Xiao Shi dealt with these mirror images as quickly as possible, he could not help but start to think about how to leave this place as quickly as possible. If it was just him, he did have the ability. The crux of the problem was those guards.
“Since walking on the ice plain will restrict my speed at any time because of the frost on my feet, I might as well try to fly.” Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He took out a flying ship from the storage space of the Ancient Cang’e Tree. He tried to lead these guards away from the ice plain through the flying ship.
However, just as he took out the flying ship, the entire flying ship smashed heavily into the icy ground. Even if Xiao Shi drove it with all his might, he could not make the flying ship fly up from the ground.
“Flight restriction?” Xiao Shi frowned. He realized that the flying ship could not be used here. Then, he tried to fly in the flying form of the Martial Emperor’s Pauldron. He could fly into the air. However, even in the air, frost would condense on his body with every step forward, causing his speed to decrease.
Which meant, whether it was on the ground or in the air, there would be no difference.
“It’s a pity that the Imperial Worship Robe could not be used. Otherwise, 1 might be able to speed up the process through the Worship Domain.” Xiao Shi frowned deeply. He began to search for items that could resolve his current situation. However, after thinking for a while, he did not think of any item that could resolve his current situation.
He had the ability to quickly leave this ice plain with one or two people. However, he could not lead so many guards and escape with the box that sealed the demon avatar. In particular, the box that sealed the demon avatar could only be moved by these guards.
Xiao Shi could not take this box away himself.
“In that case, I can only go to the Myriad Treasure Pagoda to find a suitable item, or… exchange for an exclusive item through the Time Crystal and gamble!”
The most troublesome thing now was that he did not know how big this ice plain was. He was worried that with the speed of these guards, they might not be able to walk out..
