Volume 1 Chapter 54 Stone Worms
After speeding all the way for two and a half days, and nearly 10,000 miles away from Chi Tianzong, Mu Fei told Ye Zhuo that he had arrived.
Looking at the valley in front of me that is like the Gobi Desert paved with rocks, and occasionally weeds emerge from the cracks in the stones, Ye Clumsy is a little strange, it doesn't look strange, there are not a few grasses growing, and I haven't seen a few birds and beasts, such a desolate valley is the place where Senior Brother Fei said that he can pick up treasures all over the ground?
Seeing Ye Zhuo's doubts, Mu Fei didn't explain much, slapped twice, and let the two elephant dragon horses go around to forage for food by themselves, and then took Ye Zhuo into the valley.
After walking for several miles in the pile of rocks, Mu Fei suddenly paused, and smiled at Ye Zhuo behind him: "I'm going to do my best later, eat something to replenish my physical strength first?"
"Senior Brother Fei, we've only eaten for less than an hour, okay. As he spoke, Ye Zhuo looked around: "Senior brother, there are still stones in addition to the surrounding stones, is it possible that we have to move stones?"
It was a casual remark, but I didn't want Mu Fei to nod: "That's right, it's just to move the stones, and move those stones away first." β
"Ahh "All the way, he refused to tell himself the truth, Ye Zhuo simply didn't ask, anyway, Mu Fei did what he told him to do, he already had a demon beast skin in his baggage, even if he moved the stone for ten days, this trip was worth it. Muttering in his mouth, Ye Zhuo walked towards the pile of rubble.
With yesterday's experience of mosquitoes, I have an understanding of Senior Brother Mu Feifei's bad taste, looking at the pile of rocks against the rock wall is not unusual, Ye Zhuo still looked around the stone pile for half a circle, and after knocking and making sure that there was nothing hidden in it, he leaned down.
The people on Liyun Island were already physically strong and strong enough, and Ye Zhuo's strength was no less than four hundred catties before he arrived at Chi Tianzong, and now it hasn't been long since time, but Ye Zhuo is already a monk at the second level of qi refining, and his strength has increased a lot compared to the beginning, and the boulder of nearly a thousand catties is only a little effortless. It didn't take much effort, Ye Zhuo had already moved more than a dozen boulders to the side, and when he leaned over to hold the next boulder again, Ye Zhuo suddenly took shape, and a trace of cool air blew out from the cracks in the stones, which was very pleasant.
"Is there a hole?" Ye Zhuo looked back, and saw Mu Feizheng looking at him with a smile on his face: "Senior Brother Fei, there are no strange things in the cave." β
"Are you still afraid of that?"
"I'm just a coolie barbarian, but I don't have the ability of your fifth-level qi refining senior brother. Ye Zhuo pouted. Having said that, his subordinates exerted their strength again.
After moving seven or eight more boulders, a hole three feet wide and about five feet high, which could be used for two people to walk into together, appeared in front of Ye Zhuo, and a trace of coolness floated out of the hole, which was very comfortable. Such a situation is obviously not a small cave should appear, there is no doubt that this is just an entrance, it should be very deep inside, but the cave is dim, and Ye Zhuo's gaze is only a few zhang in, and no matter how deep it is, it will not be clear to see.
"Senior Brother Fei?"
"Let's go, it's where you want to pick up treasures, you kid is lucky, maybe you will touch a piece by kowtowing. With a joking laugh, Mu Fei walked into the cave first.
"Senior Brother Fei, it's you who want to pick up the baby, okay? Pouting, Ye Zhuo picked up a dry firewood and walked in after Mu Fei.
Ignoring Ye Zhuo's slight belly slander, he entered the cave and walked about ten zhang, and when he couldn't see anything a few feet away from the dim surroundings, he suddenly stopped and reached out to the side to touch it, and actually felt a torch, with a fluctuation of true qi, a fireball popped out in Mu Fei's hand, and the originally dim cave immediately brightened up a lot.
Ye Zhuo shook his head and pulled out the hand that took out the fire fold, and by the way, he also threw away the dry firewood that was going to be used for lighting, and continued to follow Mu Fei towards the depths of the cave with the Mofa long knife in his hand.
After walking around for dozens of feet, Mu Fei suddenly raised his hand and inserted the flame of the torch in his hand into the crack of the stone on the side.
"Huh?" Ye Zhuo was puzzled and wanted to ask, but found that the surroundings that should have been dim were not dark, although they were not as bright as the sunlight outside, but it was enough for him to see the surroundings clearly.
There is an open stone room in front of him, not much smaller than the ring used to fight in Wuzi Valley, the top of the stone room several zhang high is a stone pillar like a sharp sword hanging upside down, the light that illuminates this place comes from these stone pillars, take a closer look, Ye Zhuo can see the milky white balls the size of eggs embedded in it.
"Night Pearl?" Ye Zhuo snorted with wide eyes. Ye Zhuo has not heard much about this thing, when he was a child, he heard the uncle in the clan say, and he often heard people talk about it on the way to Chi Tianzong, and in the exaggerated statement, there were once two countries that fought for such a bead, and there were hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded.
"What, do you want to dig up a few and sell them back?" Mu Fei said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's not impossible, but is this thing a spiritual thing?"
"I'm not dizzy. Know what we're looking for. Hurry up and rest for a while, and then you will start working. β
After finishing speaking, Mu Fei didn't care about Ye Zhuo anymore, and walked around the stone room.
In the past two days, riding a horse has delayed a lot of cultivation, and when he heard this, Ye Zhuo threw a Qi Gathering Pill and sat down without saying a word. When urging the power of the heart method to refine the elixir, Ye Zhuo's eyes followed Mu Fei all the way, and he saw Senior Brother Fei who had walked in front of the stone wall suddenly squatted down, and then a few rays of light flashed, and he actually arranged the formation nails again.
Puzzled in his heart, ye zhuo stared at it and saw that there was a hole in front of mu fei, and after seeing mu fei arrange, he got up, walked a few feet and squatted down again to arrange the formation nails, and there was another hole in front of him.
With a move in his heart, Ye Zhuo stared around the stone room, and saw a total of seven similar passages of different sizes, among which the nearest one behind him was the one he had just come, but he didn't know where the other six led to, looking at Senior Brother Mu Fei's movements, what he was looking for should be in those passages.
Ye Zhuo had doubts when he came all the way, he didn't know what Senior Brother Mu Fei was looking for, and he was willing to use something like a formation nail, you know, although the array nail is not a disposable product, but a formation nail is only used three or five times, and after calculation, each one use is equivalent to consuming two or three Qi Gathering Pills, in other words, on the way here, the defensive formation was arranged for two nights, and several Formation Nails had to be used each time, and a lot of Qi Gathering Pills had been thrown out after calculating the loss, and there was more than one Qi Gathering Pill, even if it was Mu Fei, he couldn't stand such consumptionγ Look at the appearance of Senior Brother Fei's busy work at this moment, it doesn't take much effort to walk through the four cave passages and still haven't stopped, this must be to arrange all the holes in the formation, so many formations also need more than a dozen formation nails, I don't know what is in it, so that Senior Brother Mu Fei can make such a big investment.
As expected, the seven passages, including the way to come, were really arranged in formations, and after watching the streamer curtain walls flash, Mu Fei withdrew his hand and walked back, and sat down like Ye Zhuo and slowly urged his mind.
Seeing this, Ye Zhuo didn't get distracted anymore, and concentrated on urging the mental method.
I couldn't concentrate for too long, after about a stick of incense, a rustling sound suddenly sounded in the originally silent stone room, Ye Zhuo followed the sound and pushed through, except for the passage behind him, none of the other ones were exceptional, and there was movement coming out.
Mu Fei obviously heard these voices as well, and to Ye Zhuo's surprise, Senior Brother Fei's face was full of joy: "Sure enough, I came out here, I see what you can do to me." β
"Senior Brother Fei, won't it be a demon beast again? Ye Zhuo frowned and asked.
Glancing at Ye Zhuo, Mu Fei said angrily: "Listen to the voice, where are so many high-quality demon beasts, there are really so many high-quality demon beasts, what is the difference between me and you sitting here and waiting for death?"
"And what are these things?"
"Don't worry, it's just bugs. β
The rustling sound became louder and louder, and there was no need for Mu Fei to explain more, Ye Zhuo had already seen what came out of the hole, and immediately exclaimed: "Senior Brother Fei, this is the worm you are talking about?"
"Isn't it a bug? Look at the look, it's not a bug. β
Ye Zhuo was a little speechless, these things that came out of the hole looked like insects as he said, they were no different from those caterpillars seen in the plain woods, but these things in front of him were too big, and the wriggling milky white strips were more than two feet long, if not, they couldn't be seen clearly from such a distance. If it was just a big one, it would be nice to think of it as a snake, to Ye Zhuo's surprise, the rustling sound just now was not just the movement of their crawling, but more the sound of them eating, the food of these big insects was nothing else, it was a piece of stone, with sharp teeth like metal, and when they opened their mouths, they actually gnawed down the clumps of the stone wall directly, which was not much better than urging the Mofa long knife himself.
Seeing that there were more and more insects coming out of the passage at the entrance of the cave, and the entire stone room was afraid of more than a thousand, Ye Zhuo's head was numb for a while, and he secretly urged the Feng Bao Sutra to look at one of them, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, as Mu Fei said just now, these ferocious looking insects did not enter the product, Rao is so, if there is a choice, Ye Zhuo would rather have another demon beast like a giant python. What comforted Ye Zhuo a little was that the formations arranged by Senior Brother Mu Fei before had worked, hundreds of insects were blocked within a kilometer of the entrance of the cave, and they were bustling and could not pass, if a few dozen or so could be released one after another, he and Senior Brother Mu Fei would not be too troublesome to deal with.
Just as he was about to ask out loud, Mu Fei spoke first, smiled at Ye Zhuo and asked, "Get ready, it's time to start work, this time Senior Brother will let you call the shots, which passage do you pick us to go into." β
"You want to go in? Not to kill these bugs?"
"What are these stone insects to kill, just go back and keep a few for dinner, although they grew up eating stones, they taste really good. It's far away, say it quickly, if you choose, which passage do you choose to enter. β
