Chapter 13
In the end, it was Ruan Xin who borrowed a relatively high-level ring space from her master under the pretext of ensuring the survival of the spirit plant, in which flowers and spirit beasts could grow, and Nalan Ze repeatedly promised to let it come out as soon as he entered the secret realm, and Ye Yun was willing to go in and wait.
The twenty monks were divided into four teams, each team of five people, Yin Zi'an really wanted Ning Yuezong to form a team of five people, but Nalan Ze showed with his actions that he wanted to stick to Ruan Xin, so he had to go. It's just that the two of them look more like they have a leg in the eyes of others. Fortunately, one of the two parties didn't notice it, the other didn't mind, and it wasn't affected.
The Qingxiao Secret Realm is worthy of being left by the ancient immortals, and when the group entered, they were shocked by the magnificence of the ancient style. It was evening, under the blood-red sky dyed by the setting sun, towering giant trees covered the sky and the sun, and the forest was dead silent, and I don't know what strange beasts were hiding in it. Several people walked very carefully, and even the Blue Flame Bird, which had always been noisy, was very honestly standing on Naranze's shoulders at this moment, refusing to leave.
Ye Yun was quite curious about this place, and he didn't know if it was because he had no spiritual power, he didn't feel any coercion, but instead found a comfortable position in Nalan Ze's arms and looked around, a furry head arched back and forth, and almost rolled over from the neckline several times, and was tapped on the head by Nalan Ze as a warning to be honest.
"This place is so secluded, I'm afraid it's the territory of high-level alien beasts." Ruan Xin frowned and said, her voice was extremely soft, "Please try your best to restrain your cultivation so as not to attract attention." ”
There are five people in this team, except for Nalan Ze, who was forced into a little junior disciple by Yin Zi'an on the grounds that he should be taken care of by the same sect, the other three are all from different sects, and the other two are Moon Scarlet Pattern from Tianyuan Sect and Qin Cheng from Lingxiao Island. Needless to say, the Tianyuan Sect is second only to the Ningyue Sect, and this month's crimson pattern is even more like its name, there is a red mark on the face that spreads from the corner of the eye to the back of the ear, it looks quite beautiful, but it is not like the demon gate demon girl, and there is a noble and cold beauty. And Lingxiao Island is unknown, this Qin Cheng is the dark horse in the competition, breaking the monopoly of the big sects, although the ranking is worthy of the last, but it cannot rule out the possibility of hiding strength.
Of course, when it comes to understanding alien beasts in this team, Ruan Xin from the Xifu Sect is the most qualified person to speak.
As the sun fell, the forest became invisible, but due to the high-level beasts that had never appeared, several people did not dare to use spells to illuminate.
Nalanze is quite satisfied with the appearance of his teammates, although all of them are the key training objects in the sect, they also know the proportions, and there are no pig teammates who are arrogant. Each squad has a different waypoint, and it is not known what happens to the other squads.
After walking for a while, they finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Ruan Xin's signal, listened to her construction, and found a cave to spend the night.
"It seems that this Qingxiao Secret Realm aims to restore the ancient style, and the ancient times were the era when all kinds of dangerous and huge beasts were rampant, and many land-based beasts had their own territory, and most of them chose to forage at night." Simply placing a hidden magic circle at the entrance of the cave, Ruan Xin explained, "The strength of the alien beast does not know the depth, so it is better for us to act at dawn." “
"That's what Miss Ruan said." Qin Cheng agreed.
Several people find their own places to meditate, they don't need to sleep, and it is better to meditate and cultivate reserve strength.
Nalan Ze took Ye Yun out of his arms, and then took out the fruit from the ring to feed it, the carnivorous fox was not interested in fruits, but he also knew that there was only these at this time. On the other hand, the blue flame bird on the side was purely greedy, so he just sold his cute fingers and asked for some fruit to eat, and when he was full, he also hiccuped a blue flame, and the fellow disciples on the side were amazed.
However, it was not completely safe in the cave, and the Blue Flame Bird, which was eating deliciously, suddenly flew up and spewed a mouthful of fire behind the little fox, scaring Ye Yun back into Nalan Ze's arms, grinning at the Blue Flame Bird.
The blue flame bird glanced at the little fox with disdain, and went over unhurriedly to eat the roasted snake meat into its mouth, which showed that if it hadn't been for it just now, the little fox would have become the snake's dinner.
Nalan Ze was also surprised, the ancient beast was really different, with the cultivation of everyone present, he didn't even notice the approach of this snake. He calmed the little fox who was a little scared, and re-examined the cave with his spiritual sense, but he noticed something different.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the depths of this cave, there are some faint fluctuations in spiritual power."
======================== update ===================================================
There are spiritual power fluctuations, which means that there are spiritual plants or spirit beasts in the depths of the cave, no matter whether the grade is good or bad, under the premise that the resources of the Qingxiao Secret Realm are not much, it is also a good thing to find something in just a few hours.
The five of them were in high spirits, exchanged glances with each other, and then cautiously groped their way into the cave with the same goal.
Nalan Ze looked at the blue flame bird that was burping on the side, and a trace of worry faintly crossed his heart. It is not difficult to see from this snake that the ancient beast is very proficient in the control of spiritual power, so the spiritual power that suddenly appeared in this cave may not be a low-level spiritual object, but a bait deliberately released by a high-level spiritual object.
However, the Qingxiao Secret Realm has existed for many years, and although the Ancient Immortal has restricted the cultivation of those who enter, there has never been any mortal danger, and if there is really danger, it will seem to be an extraordinary treasure.
Among the few people, on the surface, it seems that Nalan Ze is the tallest cultivator and walks in the forefront. The moon scarlet pattern is second, and then Ruan Xin and Nalan Ze's fellow disciple Lin Lin are on par, and although Qin Cheng won the twentieth place, Nalan Ze intuitively felt that he must have hidden his strength, but since the other party has the intention to hide it, there is no need to debunk this box, and when arranging the team, let him walk at the end just in case.
Leading to the depths of the cave is a downhill road, the deeper you go, the place where you can't see your fingers is gradually having a faint blue glow, if you look closely, it is some tiny fungi, from sparse to dense, and finally the whole cave is reflected like a dream, extremely unreal.
Nalan Ze looked at Ruan Xin, but Ruan Xin shook his head and said he didn't know. Although she had a certain understanding of the spirit plants and spirit beasts in the cultivation realm, the Qingxiao Secret Realm was an ancient fairyland after all, and many creatures might not be able to recognize them even if she had seen them in ancient books.
"Although I don't know this kind of fungus, Master said that the more beautiful the spiritual plant, the more dangerous it is, so don't act rashly."
With one hand, he pinched the hairy claws that Ye Yun wanted to reach over to poke the mushroom in his hand, Nalan Ze agreed with Ruan Xin's words, and the appearance of this mushroom made this cave even more bewitching.
Everyone walked in more vigilantly, but the cave full of mushrooms seemed to have no end, and there was still no exit after walking for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that they were getting closer and closer to the source of their spiritual power, Naranze would have wondered if they had been wandering in place.
Just when the group finally saw a place similar to the entrance of the cave, the blue flame bird that had been squatting on Nalanze's shoulder suddenly screamed and rushed towards the entrance of the cave, its cry was not at all like the usual tactful and coquettish, as if it was facing some threat.
"Senior brother, look!" Lin Lin suddenly pointed to the entrance of the cave and exclaimed, three huge centipedes appeared out of thin air, their black back armor was unbreakable at a glance, and even the flames spewed out by the Blue Flame Bird did not leave any traces on it, and because they lived underground all year round, they didn't need eyes at all, and they were even more invulnerable.
But the strange thing is that these three centipedes, with sharp and impeccable mouthparts, did not dare to step into the hole for half a step, as if they were afraid of something.
"Do you think the blue light in the cave is even worse than Fang Cai?" Naranze thought for a moment, and seemed to have grasped some key point.
"Oops, it's a green frost mushroom!" Qin Cheng, who had never spoken, suddenly changed his face, "Hurry up, let's get out of the cave first, if you don't go out, it's too late!" “
Knowing that this was not the time to explain, several people ran their own defensive formations and quickly got out of the hole, although the centipede defense at the door was strong, fortunately, the attack power was relatively weak, and it was still possible to escape if it resisted.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect this to be the Green Frost Mushroom!" While releasing the vines to stumble over the multi-legged centipede, Ruan Xin's attention was all attracted by the noun Qin Cheng just mentioned, "Legend has it that this mushroom can't see light, likes moisture, and must grow aura, although it is born and dies, but when it dies, it will spew out a large number of seeds, and when it sees the slightest aura, it will absorb and take root, regardless of people and animals, whoever has spiritual power in the body will be covered with seeds in an instant, becoming their hotbed, because it will glow blue when it grows, like a layer of frost, hence the name green frost." “
Twilight life and death, counting a few people, probably walked for almost a night, it was the time when the green frost mushroom was sown, Nalan Ze's intuition was right, this was really a trap, they were still wary of some large beasts, but they didn't expect that it was such an inconspicuous thing that really calculated them. If it weren't for Qin Cheng's reaction, I'm afraid that several people would have to make flower fertilizer today.
"Thanks to Senior Brother Qin." After hearing this, Lin Lin patted his chest fearfully, and thanked Qin Cheng, but the other party just nodded, still returning to the state of stuffy gourd, but Lin Lin, who wanted to chat and soothe when he was nervous, was suffocated.
Commanding the vines to throw the three big centipedes into the hole, sure enough, the rough-skinned and thick-fleshed guys were instantly wrapped in the dark blue powder, and no matter how invulnerable they were, they couldn't resist the pervasiveness. It seems that there is no turning back.
