Chapter 204: Exploration
Chapter 204
Yuan Yi had just finished refining a medicinal herb, and he blinked in surprise as he looked at the one demon and one spirit beast that came back. With her understanding of Zhu'er, she won't come back if she doesn't play crazy. Seeing Yuan Yi's doubts, Zhu'er turned into a human form, pursed her lips, shrugged her shoulders cutely and helplessly, and turned into a red ray and returned to Yuan Yi's body, half ringing, before complaining dissatisfied.
"This guy is too weak to be interesting at all."
Listening to the complaint of Zhu'er in the sea of consciousness, Yuan Yi couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, looking at Xueska who shrugged his head and became unusually silent, thinking that he was tossed, Yuan Yi had a little sympathy for him, but she was still very satisfied with the result. It's not a wonderful thing to have an annoying crow around.
The corners of her mouth hooked up a sly smile, her thoughts turned back, and she didn't pay any more attention to the dejected Bloodska, Yuan Yi continued the movements in her hands, she only had half a month, and she couldn't waste it anymore.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, in the early morning, in the dim dense forest, the towering ancient trees stood for eternity, dense, dense layers of branches blocked the sky, and the sunlight could only occasionally leave a few shadows.
A team of about thirty people wearing uniform grass green shorts and shorts quickly shuttled through it, except for the footsteps of slightly stepping on the blades of grass, leaving a slight rustling sound, the whole team marched in silence. All of them looked solemn and nervous, except for a few who were slightly dispersed to explore the way ahead, the rest of them followed closely the resolute woman who led the way. In this deep mountain, this way of giving up the leap and walking quickly seems to be the slowest but the fastest way to hurry, so as to effectively avoid encountering the group monsters in the air, even if you occasionally encounter scattered monsters, you can quickly adapt, or fight or retreat.
Everyone came to the edge of a mountain cliff, the woman at the head raised her hand slightly, and more than 30 people behind her immediately stopped their pace and stood quietly in place. The woman walked lightly forward for some distance, came to the edge of the cliff, and looked at the large clearing under the cliff. The tall figures like hills lying or standing on the clearings are densely packed, which makes people shocking. The woman's pupils contracted unconsciously, holding her breath, and carefully searching. She didn't see what she was looking for, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the bushes behind her, and the woman immediately turned around reflexively, looked vigilantly in the direction of the abnormal movement, and the dagger in her hand quietly came out of her hand and disappeared into the bushes that were high for one person on the side.
"Hehe, don't get excited." In a moment, a familiar voice with a slight teasing voice sounded.
Hearing the familiar voice, the woman put the other dagger in her hand back into the small bag at her waist with a blank expression. Walk slowly down from the edge of the cliff.
The bushes swayed lightly twice, and two figures came out, and they were Yuan Yi and Ling Ji.
Yuan Yi looked at Unel's beautiful eyes and glared coldly, pretending to smile stupidly, and patted the slightly wrinkled robe on his body indifferently. Lowered his voice and whispered, "Why are you here?" ”
Ling Ji glanced at the group of people lightly, then ignored them and stood quietly aside, his fierce momentum was even colder than that of Unel.
Unel glared fiercely and said coldly: "You are making your own claims. Then he turned his face a little helplessly, and continued to speak coldly: "The commander is not at ease, so he asked us to come over and have a look." Finding a passage is also the business of all of us of the Wu tribe, and there is no reason for you, the fifth elder, to fight alone. ”
Regarding Unel's half-reproachful and half-concerned words, Yuan Yi could only pretend to smile stupidly, and quickly bypassed the topic: "We just turned around, there is no other entrance here, the only thing is the hole in this clearing against the mountain wall." ”
These Unaires have known for a long time. Her father had already gone in, glanced at the girl opposite, and asked lightly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"There's a broken wall there, and we're going to sneak down from the mountain wall, so we shouldn't alarm the ironback lizards outside." Yuan Yi pointed to a stone wall protruding from the stone wall on the left side of the cave, with only half of the stone wall remaining. The stone wall naturally formed a barrier, blocking the view of the iron-backed lizards outside the cave.
Hearing this, Unel frowned and said, "You plan to go in directly?" ”
Yuan nodded, originally she and Ling Ji were going to clean up these iron-backed lizards first, but they were worried about attracting the attention of the unknown demon beast inside, so they just happened to find the stone wall, so they changed their minds, went to see first, and retreated immediately as soon as there was danger.
"Don't go in, the situation inside is unknown, and it's inconvenient to go in with a lot of people." Yuan Yiyi.
Unel lowered his head and thought, half a sound, sighed helplessly, loosened his frowning brows, took out a scroll made of animal skins from the small bag on his waist, and handed it to Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi took it suspiciously, spread it out and took a look, there were only some hand-drawn black lines on it, and only a striking red cross was marked in the center, like a simple map.
"This ...... Is this the map inside the cave? Yuan Yi asked with some hesitation full of doubts. After all, she remembered that Unel had said that the passage was very shallow, only 500 meters, and how could she come up with such a cumbersome map.
Unel nodded, and said without twisting: "This passage is indeed only five hundred meters, but there are also several auxiliary roads and forks, and it is unknown where it leads, my father specially asked me to give you this map, just because I am worried that you will go wrong." ”
Yuan Yi suddenly realized that if it was before, it was true that this map was also a bargaining chip on the negotiating table, and of course he would not easily tell the two of them. And now that Unair has taken it out so easily, it can only be said that the Wu people have completely trusted him, Yuan Yi thought about it, and a faint warmth rose in his heart, and he put the map away with a smile.
Unair glanced at Yuan Yi, took out two rings from his small bag, and carefully advised: "This is for concealing aura, the third elder asked me to hand it over to you, it will be somewhat helpful." My father also told you not to go into the altar and not to touch the key at the door, because he was so excited to see the key that he wanted to pull it out before he was attacked. As long as you don't move the key, standing outside the altar, the demon beast doesn't seem to attack, if you insist on going in, just explore the situation inside, remember not to move......"
Yuan Yi listened carefully to Unel's explanation, took the two rings, and handed one of them to Ling Ji. Ling Ji took it expressionlessly and held it in the palm of his hand. Yuan Yi nodded at Unaire and turned to burrow into the bushes.
"We'll be waiting for you outside, be careful." Unel whispered to the backs of the two.
Yuan Yi didn't look back to say anything, just waved his hand and made a gesture that both she and Unel knew. Unel watched, his cold face twitched slightly, and the words that came to his lips were held back.
Yuan Yi and Ling Ji quietly jumped to the broken wall, put on the ring given by Unair, and the figures of the two disappeared suddenly, Yuan Yi felt that his body seemed to blend into the surrounding air, light as if there was no weight, and even his breath disappeared, it felt very wonderful. There was a strange connection around him, I thought it should be Ling Ji, this should be a subtle sense between the two people who are wearing the ring at the same time, but this is dispensable for Yuan Yi, and the consciousness barrier can clearly perceive everything around him.
"Let's go," the voice came from the sea of consciousness.
Yuan jumped off the stone wall with a little head, and slid lightly along the stone wall to the entrance of the cave, and drilled into it like a spirit monkey. The figure that passed by quickly didn't even bring a trace of fresh breeze, and surprise flashed in Yuan's eyes, stopping at the entrance of the cave to taste the feeling of no resistance, and a consciousness flashed in his mind, as if he had comprehended, but it was not very accurate.
"What's wrong" Feeling that Yuan Yi didn't move, Ling Ji who followed him asked suspiciously.
Yuan Yi sighed, shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go." "Some things can't be rushed, but this kind of accidental epiphany is already rare, she can't be greedy anymore, just now her understanding of the word "flash" seems to be more sublimated, if it weren't for the situation at this time, she really wanted to try it. The most important thing is that she found that the so-called nine mysteries of speed can continue to be sublimated, and as for what is the top of this sublimation, she can't imagine it for the time being.
Shaking off the suspicion in his heart, Yuan Yi looked at the stone cave where he was, this stone cave was not big, and the iron-backed lizards outside seemed to have scruples, and they didn't dare to get too close to the entrance of the cave, but it was very convenient for them. The cave was empty, as if it was natural or man-made. Only on the surrounding hill wall are four dark passages, each consisting of a series of steps that cut down to make it impossible to tell what is different from them.
Yuan Yi took out the map, studied it, pointed to the passage on the left, and walked over first. In the dark passage, Yuan Yi tentatively released his divine sense, a huge pressure came, Yuan Yi was slightly startled in his heart, reined in his mind, and continued to release as much divine consciousness as possible, sweat slid down, and finally reluctantly released his divine consciousness to a range of ten meters and could no longer advance an inch.
"Be careful" came the sound of Ling Ji in the sea of consciousness. Thinking about it, Ling Ji also noticed the strangeness here, nodded lightly, and slowly walked down. The steps in this passage are not deep, but it is less than fifty meters to the end, and under the passage is a circular stone chamber of thirty or forty square meters, which seems to be hollowed out of a complete stone, there is not a single joint on the stone wall, only five dark forks leading to the depths of the earth, Yuan Yi chose the middle road according to the map drawn. Continue to descend fifty meters, and the same stone chamber is again, and so on, until the ninth stone chamber finally appears only one passage.
