Chapter 735: The Secret of the Mountain
What attracted Xiao Tao was the bare hill in the dense forest, where there was not a single tree, only a vegetation covering the entire hill, a rare climbing vine, all green, wrapping the hill into a green ball.
"Mr. Xiao, what are you staring at this mountain?" Qu Qingying asked strangely when she saw Xiao Tao looking at the mountain intently.
"Something is wrong, the climbing vines like to grow in the crevices of the rocks, they like to climb the rocks, these climbing vines wrap the whole mountain like rice dumplings, this mountain is probably not an ordinary mountain. ”
Xiao Tao stepped forward, stretched out his hand and ripped off a few climbing vines, the ground was easily revealed, there was really no mud and soil, only hard rocks, he didn't stop, continued to tear other climbing vines, and what was exposed was really a huge rock.
In other words, the whole hill is not an ordinary mountain, but a rocky mountain composed of countless huge rocks, but it is covered by climbing vines, which is mistaken for a small mountain.
"The eye of the array is just a humanoid skeleton affected by the feng shui magic circle, it is impossible to go to the sky and enter the earth, it thinks it should escape from the dense forest, not into the rock, even the spiritual sense can not penetrate the rock, how can a skeleton escape into it?"
Xiao Tao stared at the thick rock-climbing vines in front of him, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "This rocky mountain is strange, there must be something hidden under the rock-climbing vines, otherwise it is impossible for the humanoid skeletons to rush here desperately." ”
Qu Qingying didn't say a word, he just raised his sword and swung it again and again, cutting off countless climbing vines, and after cutting off a large number of thick climbing vines, a narrow hole was exposed.
The entrance to the cave was covered with green vegetation, so narrow that only one person could go straight in and out, and it was pitch black inside, and an eerie cold air rushed out of it, and the smell of dead corpses was thick and strong, and it smoked Qu Qingying back a few steps.
"The rancid smell came from inside this hole. Xiao Tao looked at the dark entrance of the cave, his expression became a little solemn, he could emit these strong rancid stench, it would never be as simple as a dead corpse.
"Mr. Xiao, it stinks, I don't want to go in if it's not necessary. Qu Qingying's face was embarrassed, and then she formed a handprint and released a body protection qi shield to prevent the rancid smell from rushing into her nose.
"I'll see what's in there. Xiao Tao took out a jade crystal in his right hand, and formed a seal in his left hand, as soon as his spiritual sense was released, the surrounding aura was immediately aroused, and then he shouted: "Yin and evil converge, light technique, rise!"
A gust of wind blew, and the jade crystal in his hand suddenly lit up with a fluorescence, and then the light shone brightly, Xiao Tao flicked his right hand, and the jade crystal shot into the hole like an arrow, like a ball of light illuminating the inside.
Just before the light of the jade crystal disappeared, Xiao Tao roughly understood the situation inside the cave, this is a narrow cave, there is nothing in it, it is bottomless, and I don't know where it leads?
"Mr. Xiao, look at this day. Qu Qingying said suddenly.
Xiao Tao looked up and saw that the dark red sky was fading, the bright sun was gradually revealed, and when he retracted his gaze and looked at the ground, he saw that the bones and wreckage had gradually turned into dust, and the barren sand and embers had gradually changed and turned into yellow earth.
"The Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array has completely broken. Qu Qingying said.
"The people who set up this formation are quite powerful, and it doesn't help if the array is destroyed, and it still can't break the Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array. Xiao Tao glanced at the entrance of the cave and said, "I shot a jade crystal into the hole, and the Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array was cracked, and this hole is the key to cracking the Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array." In this way, the Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array is placed outside, mainly to protect the entrance of this cave. ”
"If we had discovered this hole earlier, we wouldn't have had to worry about the ghosts for so long, wasting a lot of time. Qu Qingying said.
"That's impossible, if we hadn't forced the formation eye out, we wouldn't have found this hole. Xiao Tao smiled and said, "I came here to explore, mainly to find food for the sword spirit, and I don't think there are enough ghosts." ”
"Then can we go back?" Qu Qingying asked.
"Miss Qu, you go back first, I'm going to go in and fight, and see what's inside?" Xiao Tao took a deep look at the entrance of the cave, and then said to Qu Qingying.
The gas rushing out of the cave was so stinky that Xiao Tao felt a little unbearable, not to mention the dignified lady of the Qu family? Xiao Tao didn't want Qu Qingying to suffer with him, so he planned to break in by himself.
"Mr. Xiao, let's come together, we have to go together, how can Qingying leave you alone?" Qu Qingying knew Xiao Tao's intentions, so she glanced at him gratefully, and said, "It's just a rancid smell, and it's not poisonous gas, Qu Qingying can still withstand it." ”
"Miss Qu, what can emit this rancid smell is by no means a simple thing, maybe something more disgusting, are you sure to come with me this time?" Xiao Tao asked.
Qu Qingying let out a "hmm" and nodded heavily, her eyes firm.
"Okay. Xiao Tao was a little helpless, so he had to agree and first went into the narrow cave.
Xiao Tao's night vision ability is very strong, Qu Qingying is also good, he can walk in the cave without light, but the clarity of vision will be relatively poor, and if there is a trap, it may not be visible. To be on the safe side, Xiao Tao still used a secret technique to make the seven red copper coins shine and brighten the road.
"Mr. Xiao, there are footprints in the cave, and there is still a little bit of mud and dust on the footprints, which should have been imprinted not long ago. Qu Qingying, who followed behind, said suddenly.
"Yes, so I'm going in, I want to see who's inside?" Xiao Tao said.
While exploring the path with the light technique, Xiao Tao found a few shallow footprints in the cave, which is one of the reasons why he decided to come in and investigate.
What kind of person is it, without cracking the Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array, entering the cave protected by the Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array, and this rock mountain is covered by thick climbing vines, how does this person know that there is a cave entrance here?
What made Xiao Tao even more puzzled was that this cave was the key to cracking the Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array, why did someone break into the cave after the Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array was unscathed and not destroyed, what means did the people who entered the cave use to maintain the Seven Evil Lonely Soul Array?
There is another important reason for Xiao Tao to insist on entering the cave, that is, the smell of rancid smell is mixed with another smell, this smell is very light, Qu Qingying didn't smell it, but he sniffed out,
Because this smell is very familiar to Xiao Tao, he must find out the source of this smell.
The closed cave blocked the spread of spiritual consciousness, and Xiao Tao's spiritual sense could not penetrate the thick rock, could not spy on the outside, and could not spy on where this cave leads.
Even if it was Qu Qingying in the middle stage of spiritual consciousness transformation, her spiritual sense was so powerful, and it was also not so strong in penetration, she couldn't do anything except continue to maintain the air shield to defend against rancidity.
The two of them walked cautiously in the cave like ordinary people, and they didn't know how long they walked, and suddenly they came to a place covered with thick climbing vines.
Xiao Tao stretched out his hand to pick up the climbing vines, and countless lights shone directly into his eyes, and he had already reached the end of the cave, which was the entrance to the other end of the cave.
Xiao Tao and Qu Qingying walked out of the cave, and their eyes suddenly opened up, and what fell into their eyes was a dense bamboo forest that could not be seen to the end, green and quiet, like a peach blossom source in the next world.
Xiao Tao looked at this bamboo forest in a daze, feeling a little familiar, as if he had seen it there.
A gust of wind blew, countless bamboos creaked, and the wind brought an even stronger rancid smell to remind people that this was not a peach blossom, but a dangerous place.
Xiao Tao let go of his spiritual sense and pursued the source of the rancid smell, but his spiritual sense could not enter when it extended to the edge of the bamboo forest. At the same time, he sensed that Qu Qingying's spiritual sense was also opening and peering into the distance.
After a while, Qu Qingying withdrew her spiritual sense, looked at Xiao Tao and said, "There is a secret array in the bamboo forest that blocks spiritual sense, and the spiritual sense can't enter, so you can't spy on the situation inside. ”
"Let's go in and take a look. Xiao Tao said that, and walked to the bamboo forest.
Before stepping into the bamboo forest, the extremely bad rancid smell came to the sky, and there was a rustling sound in the bamboo forest, as if someone was about to come out.
"The breath of the sea of people, Tiangang drives away evil spirits, rise!"
Xiao Tao let out a low snort, and after the seven red copper coins flashed a light, the qi of the sea of people who had just reached the sun flowed out, forming a faint fluorescent cover, covering him and Qu Qingying.
"Transfiguration, town!"
Qu Qingying also snorted, and as soon as her thoughts moved, her spiritual transformation was revealed, a jade ruler of light was suspended above her head, and the power of her spiritual transformation blessed her qi hood, strengthening her resistance to the rancid smell that could stun people.
In the distance, a huge figure flashed out of the bamboo forest, walking slowly, aiming at Xiao Tao.
As the figure got closer and closer, Xiao Tao couldn't help but gasp, and Qu Qingying's pretty face directly changed color, and they were all stunned by the visitor.
Strictly speaking, what comes out of the bamboo forest is not a person in the real sense, and it should be called a monster.
But the monster was in the shape of a real person, and its body was very huge, about three meters tall, with thick limbs, two meters long hands, a distorted face, and a pair of white eyes, hideous and terrifying.
What makes people feel their scalp tingle is that this humanoid monster is sewn with dense threads all over its body, and at a glance, the entire body is stitched from head to toe, and the extremely unpleasant rancid smell emanates from the stitched corpse.
"What the hell, it's a stitched corpse. Xiao Tao was stunned for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched dozens of times before he said angrily.
"Is this a product of evil, a good thing done by that sect?" Qu Qingying's eyebrows tightened, and her teeth clenched, and her jade lips were about to bite and bleed.
