Chapter 467: The Decision Has Been Made
Nodding, Ning Yue responded: "Yes, it's too much." There was one person in the belly of the strange snake that the two of us had slashed together. And here you see, there are so many human corpses on the ground. ”
"You mean to say that the strange snake we killed before attacked the Famous Sword Gate in order to hunt for food. And the war between the demonic beasts and the human warriors here is not as simple as predation?"
After the words came out, Lei Jiang suddenly raised his hand and patted his head, and exclaimed, "No, what you want to say is that the battle in front of us ended in the victory of the human warriors. Since the demonic beasts were defeated or completely destroyed, there was no chance to swallow the corpses here. As for the strange snake before, it should have also participated in this battle. It is likely that when he fled halfway, he swallowed one person by the way. ”
Among the many corpses in front of them, judging from the blood-stained clothes, there are also people who are famous in the Sword Sect, but there are very few, and most of the people who died in the battle are the rest of the sects.
Ning Yue said in a deep voice: "What I suspect is that many of the strong people in this place are at a disadvantage, and because of the joining of the famous Sword Sect, they were able to turn defeat into victory. Now, if nothing else, the rest of the people should all gather together and be under the unified command of the Famous Sword Sect...... Right in the distance, in the distance. ”
After taking a closer look, Lei Jiang nodded, more than half of the demonic beasts that were killed at the scene were covered with sword marks, especially the more than ten corpses at the front, all of which were killed by sword stabs.
"Those people who are famous in the Sword Sect are crazy enough, and there is no one in their eyes, but their strength is reasonable. ”
"Let's go to the front again. This place is spacious and unobstructed, not in the middle of a dense forest, but it has been attacked so fiercely. If it weren't for the Warcraft getting in the way again, there would be only one possibility......"
"What is possible?"
Soon, without Ning Yue answering directly, Lei Jiang came up with an answer on his own. Not far ahead, a lake sits at the foot of the mountain, sparkling like a mirror.
Water is a necessary thing that any living creature can't live without.
On the shores of the lake, a few clusters of extinguished bonfires still have a trace of residual heat.
"The unscrupulous man, who chooses to camp at night in such a dangerous area, is so close to the water source that the nocturnal predators wake up at night and must come to drink before hunting. So those people became the best targets. In particular, they had already experienced a fierce battle yesterday, they were tired and wounded, and their resistance was much weaker. And the smell of blood will irritate those demonic beasts even more. ”
Kicking a cluster of charred charcoal, Ning Yue suddenly found Meng Ye squatting by the lake, picking up the water and licking it a small bite, and hurriedly spit it out. Without waiting for him to ask, the other party hurriedly got up and looked back, and said what he had found.
"The water here is the same as the spring water in the town, it is polluted, and the miasma in it is even stronger. If a strong human person drinks it directly, it will definitely hurt the body, especially the injured person. ”
"Huh?"
Lei Jiang was stunned for a moment, he came to the lake and dipped his finger in it, put it in his mouth, shook his head, and hurriedly spit it out.
"It's a little bit of a smell, and if you don't say it, I won't notice it. It's just that it feels like it's earthy. In this kind of place, the lake water that is stirred by demonic beasts every day has a peculiar smell, miasma or something, are you too worried?"
In this regard, Ning Yue asked: "Before, in the mountain front post, the flower tea of a certain teahouse was rumored to be able to increase the cultivation of martial artists, have you heard this rumor?"
Lei Jiang replied: "Not only have I heard of it, but I have been queuing for a long time to try it." To be honest, it tastes good, but it is pure nonsense to be able to increase the cultivation of why. ”
"That tea is made by Meng Ye. According to him, it is the mountain spring water itself that really works, and the mild medicinal dried flowers he uses have a small probability of transforming the toxin into a nourishing substance while dissolving the miasma. However, the so-called nourishing things are not effective for everyone and vary from person to person. ”
Ning Yue said, Meng Ye added: "If you drink it directly, it will definitely be harmful to people. The same is true for Warcraft. But there is also a possibility that those miasma poisons will further stimulate the dormant instinctive beasts in the demonic beasts, making them more ferocious and bloodthirsty. I think the fierce fighting here last night was not only a problem with the water source, but also because the water source was polluted. ”
Surprised, Lei Jiang muttered: "The water source is polluted? This is not far from Qingque Mountain, according to legend, the source of the water source of this mountain range is the underground water under Qingque Mountain, in which the part of the spiritual energy gathered gushes up, forming a holy spring. If the water here is polluted, then the holy spring on Qingque Mountain ......"
Ning Yue replied: "This kind of inference has been drawn by Meng Ye and I before. This time, the holy spring reappeared, after all, everyone was only judged from the vision of heaven and earth, and not really anyone who was baptized by the holy spring here. So, I've been wondering, is the so-called holy spring really a place where spiritual energy gathers?"
"Is it difficult, you want to say ......" In the end, Lei Jiang did not express his guess, that idea was too shocking. If it is really established, so many warriors from the borders of all nations and the chaotic martial states are not just a futile effort.
The answer is only the one that Qingque Mountain can draw. Let's keep going, at least here is the same as the reason we chose this path in the first place, the monsters in front of us have been cleared and we can pass straight through. ”
Before leaving, Ning Yue deliberately glanced at Meng Ye, and stopped talking.
There are more and more secrets on the other party.
On the way forward, the corpses of the slain demonic beasts can still be seen scattered around, but the corpses of the human powerhouses are no more. Along the way, the traces of fierce battles on the ground have been extended, and the little blood stains are gradually stained everywhere, and it is not difficult to see how difficult it is for those who want to pass through this kind of place.
Two hours later, a steep peak lay in front of the furnace, and the three of them had to go up the mountain along the rugged road, and in their hearts, they all vaguely guessed a little.
After a while, the conjecture was confirmed, and the way up the mountain stopped halfway up the mountain, with only steep rocks on both sides, and there was no good way to go. Of course, you can take a risk with the dexterity of the warrior's body, and force a way through with the help of a few places to stay. But if such an adventure fails, the consequences are unimaginable.
So there was only one cave left in front of Ning Yue and the three of them, and it was rumored that if you wanted to reach Qingque Mountain from this road, you had to pass through a deep cave.
However, it was not only the three of them who hesitated in front of this cave. By the time they arrived, dozens of people had already gathered here, and they only glanced at their arrival, and then continued to focus on the cave ahead, where they could not see the inside clearly.
Ning Yue noticed that the few people closest to the entrance of the cave were wearing clothes that were obviously famous in the Sword Gate. Half the number compared to what I saw last night. However, on the way, he also noticed that there were not so many famous people who died in battle. And here, the elder who led the team is also gone.
There is only one answer.
"It seems that even the famous Sword Sect does not dare to enter this cave rashly, and it should be a part of the people who have explored the way first. I said Lei Jiang, it seems that many people know that this cave exists, right? As for what's inside, is it possible that no one knows?"
Glancing left and right, Lei Jiang lowered his voice and replied, "Do you think that after the Qingque Mountain Sacred Spring dried up two hundred years ago, how many people would take the risk of taking this path? It is said that many did not leave with their lives. ”
"From here, how far is it from Qingque Mountain?"
"This is also my first time walking. According to the map, it will not take two days to see from the distance alone. But it's just the distance on the map......"
Nodding again, after that, Ning Yue stepped forward and touched someone's shoulder, arched his hand and asked, "Excuse me, how long have you been waiting here?"
The man turned his head to look at it, and replied lukewarmly, "New here, you are lucky to have been able to get here smoothly after the demonic beasts that blocked the way were cleared by us." If you're in a hurry, just go in by yourself, and don't always think about asking someone else to help you clear the way. ”
Frowning slightly, Ning Yue said again: "I don't need others to open the way, I just want to know, how long has it been since someone entered before?"
"Since you think you can go in, what do you care about the people who open the way? Go quickly, so that everyone can see if you are really capable, or if you are only good at talking. ”
The man smiled coldly, and without waiting for Ning Yue to reply, he suddenly beckoned and shouted: "Hey, someone here said that he is also going to enter the exploration path, everyone let go!"
In an instant, the dozens of people who were staring at the entrance of the cave in front of them turned around together, and their eyes quickly focused on Ning Yue, who was being pointed at.
Soon, a person from the famous Sword Gate snorted coldly, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yo, who else should I be? Isn't this the one I saw last night, the person who claimed to kill the beasts that blocked the way with his own strength? Why, today is going to be righteous again? Okay, please, we are here waiting for you to report the good news." ”
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
Ning Yue glared at him and walked towards him.
"Come in, I'll definitely go in. But before that, I want to know, how long have your people been in. Or, how long has it been since your people heard back?"
The other party snorted: "Let me ask you, do you want to know how long it will take for them to come back, and they can meet halfway." Or, do you want to use this to calculate that you can walk around casually in it, and if you deliberately rub it for as long as you want, you can pretend that you have already been in danger when you return it. ”
When the words fell, the man looked up and smiled, and behind him, most of the other famous Sword Sect disciples were also sneering.
With a cold gaze, Ning Yue replied in a deep voice: "The so-called great sect is famous for the Sword Sect, is it like this, thinking that only you are right in everything, and there is no one in your eyes?"
Suddenly, the faces of all the famous Sword Sect disciples in front of him changed, and the hostility in their eyes was revealed. The man at the front had already pressed the hilt of the sword behind his back, and shouted coldly: "What you said to yourself, but you are responsible." ”
"Get out of the way. Since you don't have the courage to go in, don't stand in my way. As for those who have already entered, whether they are dead or alive, I will tell you then. ”
Walking quickly past the man's side, Ning Yue lowered his head and walked straight to the entrance of the cave. He didn't want to fight the Famous Sword Sect here, not because he was afraid, but because it was unnecessary.
Exploring the treacherous and unknown caves ahead is the first priority.
The man turned around and smiled: "Hmph, I'm afraid that you will just hide in it for a long time when you arrive, and then withdraw and pretend." ”
The pace stopped, Ning Yue didn't look back, and said, "Since you are suspicious, let's come together." You can see for yourself whether I'm going to wander around and stay in it for another half a day, or if I'll go all the way and break through to the other side of the cave. ”
At this moment, the man hesitated, and his face was embarrassed. But soon, he replied, "Don't provoke me, the elder deliberately instructed before coming in that no disciple is allowed to enter without permission before they come out." We are a famous and decent family, and unlike people from small sects like you, we pay the most attention to respecting teachers. The commands of the elders will never be disobeyed. ”
"It's a good excuse for being timid. ”
With a soft snort, Ning Yue continued to step forward, stepping straight into the cave from the path that the Famous Sword Gate had abandoned.
The decision has been decided, and the tiger's den in Longtan will also break through!
